Warren VanDyke, associate editor OF
the Weatherly Herald, was married yes
terday at Wilkesbarre TO Miss Matte

pie will spend several weeks on their

which they will so to housekeeping at
Weatherly.
Miss Name Hallas, who formerly
lived at Plymouth, has fallen heir to a
neat sum of money. The man to whom
she was betrothed, John Ketchner, a
soldier in the American army in Cuba,
died recently of typhoid fever and he
left his estate, valued at $4,000, to Miss
Halas.
Charles Anthony, Of Sandy Run, had
his left hand seriously injured while at
work on the breaker at that place yes
terday. He was engaged in repairing
machinery when his hand was caught
and terribly squeezed. 1t is feared he
may lose the member.

New Officers to BE Installed.

Burgess-elect John f. Boyle will
assume the duties of the Office, to which
he has been chosen, at next Monday
evenings meeting Of the borough coun-
ell, succeeding Burgess James M. Gal
lagher whose term of Office will expire
on that evening.
At the same time the newly-elected
councilmen, George Sweet and Charles
Moerschbac will take the seats of
the retiring councilmcn, Thomas Davies
and Alex. Mulhearn.
The new members OF the school board,
George I. Brown and Peter Timony,
will take possession next June, Mr..
Brown succeeding himself for one year.
The retiring member of the board will
be James b. Ferry.
There is much speculation through
town as to who will be chosen by coun-
Gil to fill the various positions at the
disposal of this body. Among the ap-
pontments to be made on Monday even
ing, after electing president and
secretary of council, are the following:
treasurer, SJreet commissioner, JanlJor.
chief of police and regular and special
policemen and borough solicitor.
1t is said that the office of treasurer
is causing the councilmen more worry
than all the others combined. There
is feeling among part of the Re-
publican party to bestow this favor
upon Stephen Drasher for the sacrifices
he has made in his contests for burgess.
Custom heretofore was TO honor one Of
the retiring councilmen with the posi-
ton, and the friends of Councilman
Davies claim either the latter or Mr..
Mulhearn should be appointed. The
Citizens bank, it is alleged, was also
promised the position, but that was an
anti-election card floated for effect only.

Women Supplanted by Men.

With carefully CLEANED statistics. Ed
ward BOX, in the March Ladies' Home
Journal, shows that the number of
women in business is decreasing. and
will continue rapidly to grow less.
1.-The tide of women rushing pel-mell
into all kinds of business has been
emmed-in fact, IL is already receding,
and perceptibly So" he contends. 1T
has already been asserted by female
agitators that the growing tendency to
dismiss women from various business
positions is because of the opposition of
men to the employment Of women. On
the contrary. men were willing to have
women go into business pursuits, and 1t
was men who opened positions to them.
"Undoubtedy this was largely due to
the selfish business reason that women
would work for lower wages than men.
But with the influx there necessarily
came into the business world great
deal OF incompetent female help. For
Time incompttency was overlooked be-
cause Of the lower wages. Gradually,
however. there came the inevitable
wedding process, temporarily stayed by
the business depression of the past few
years.
when prosperous times came it was
different, and it is very significant
storv which accurate statistics tell that
more women have been discharged from
business positions during the past yeai
of prosperity, even TAXI ing into con-
sideration the larger number employed,
than in any previous year.

Burgess Explains Delay,

In connection with the bribery
charges against Shamokin councilmen,
Burgess Farrow declared that he will
have the accused men arrested provid-
ing funds were forth coming. He gave
public notice that If the residents guar
ranteed a sufficient amount he would
loose no time in having warrants issued
He says he has had much to contend
against in bringing the matter to its
present stage and now he needs aid As
the chief executive, he says, his hands
are tied, like those OF the eight council
men who voted without avail to have
the high constable prefer information
in the name OF the borough. In bring
Ing the suit he would do so like any
ordinary private citizen, and he says he
has enough evidence to show good
cause to GUST the accused men from
council
Citizens have since taken hold of the
matter and fund of over $500 has
been raised to prosecute the accused
councilmen.

Poor District Dispute.

The auditors of the Middle Coal Field
Poor District refuse to sanction the
vouchers for the salary of the directors
alleging that they have overdrawn the
salary limit. The act of 1862 allows
poor directors $50 per year, but for
many years past the directors have
voted themselves 5000 each for their
years work. The auditors have ap.
pealed to Carbon county court for an
opinion governing the dispute, the poor
district solicitor having refused to fur.
nish them information.
The objections to the salary claimed
and paid by the directors to themselves
were made public few years ago in
some of the newspapers of the district
but not until Editor j. w. Maloy, of the
Lansford Record, became an auditor did
the matter take shape. His stand is
endorsed by Editor L. G. Lubrecht, OF
the Hazleton Standard, also an auditor,
and their position is approved by the
entire press of the district.

The Philippine LANGUAGE.

William r. Walters, who is serving
In the Philippines, tells this story:
Some very amusing affairs take place
between our soldiers and the Chinese
merchants, owing to the inability of
the Americans to "sabee" the Orien-
tai language. During that part of the
fighting which is known in our ranks
as 1.-THE loot of Tondon," l saw a cor
poral of the Twenty-third regulars
rake small safe out of some ruins af-
ter fire. Finding it to be empty, he
started away with it under his arm.
Before he had gone very far he met
a Chinese merchant to whom he un-
dertook to sell the purloined safe.
"Lookee here, John, how muchee
you give for safee? Belize niece. Mucho
wano safee?" says the corporal with
much gesticulation and contortion
81 really don't need safe" quiet
ly replied the benighted Chinaman,
"but I suppose you boys need some
beer money, so what do you say to 81
for it?-Rochester Democrat

Quoted under the auspices OF the an

Mems Christian Association, which has
its headquarters in the association build

At East Mauch Chunk a series of spe-

the evangelistic secretary. The meet
ings were in January and were well
attended. Many young men were led
into the activities of the church.
At Freeland the Y. NJ. C. A. band is
steadily growing in strength. There is
well furnished public reading room,
educational classes and mems weekly
meeting.
At Sandy Run many men have been
reached. A bible conference was held
and weekly bible class commenced.
At Nescopeck the railroad young
mems band is active, and they are
making special arrangements for State

Babe Lost and Others Injured.

Michael Wentz, his wife and one child
had narrow escape from death at their
home in Alden, Monday morning, and
the baby of the family was burned to
death. Their house caught fire from an
overheated stove and they were aroused
only when the flames had cut off their
retreat. The efforts Of the father and
mother to save their children resulted in
their being severely burned. The mother
carried out the eight-year-old child,
which was badly burned, and the father
got the four-year-old out, but it died that
afternoon. The other three are in a

The act of assembly requiring pay.
ment OF bonnties on foxes, wildcats and
declared unconstitutional by Judge
Purdy, OF the Wayne-Pike district, in
an opinion handed down at Honesdale
on Tuesday, because the title of the act
does not clearly express the subject and
the Amendment does not validate it.
The Wayne county commissioners
have paid no bounties in six years and a
rule for a mandamus was asked to COM
pei payment. The rule was dismissed.
The decision will affect a number of
hunters in this county, as the bounty
was good inducement to kill these
game-destroying animals.
