council decided last spring that the
blacklist was of little account as a
barrier to drunkards and therefore no

SCHOOLS OPEN.
Work Began Monday for Another Year
Under Most Favorable Conditions.

Lancaster public schools opened
Monday for another years work and
everything points to most success
full era. Teachers and pupils began
work which will continue with bu.
slight intermission until the mercury
climbs way up in the thermometer
again For the past two months a
humble of the teachers have been
away enjoying the vacation. Some
have travelled in the interim and have
attended summer schools. ETC., for
the purpose OF being better able to
wrestle with their duties, while others
have sojourned at home or at some
summer resort for pure enjoyment
and have striven to forget in their
comfortable surroundings the dull,
endless grind Of toll. None of them
so far forgot themselves as to become
married-but this is not relevant to
the question. They are all once more
with us and at their posts of duty
with renewed zeal.
Pupils young and old have laid aside
other work to resume the develop
ment of their intellects. Many of
the older ones found employment in
one way or another during vacation
with which the wherewithal was pro-
cured to purchase clothing, books and
other paraphernalia and should be
proud of the fact.
The small boy will no longer be

morning after breakfast mamma took
Willie firmly but gently by the hand
and led him down TO one of the
stores and there bought him
a new hat. shirt waist, underwear,
shoes and socks. On Sunday the
urchin did not know himself when he
donned the outfit for the first time,

Couldn't Identify Him.

Geo. Roddick is young man who
has been in the employ of Mrs.
Springer at Ellenboro. Now and then
he comes to Lancaster and when his
employer is without money and
George wanted money 50 spend she
used to tell him 20 90 to Louis Ats
and borrow and when she came to
town would make it a point to call at
Ats and return the favor.
On the 9th day Of August young
man came into Ats grocery, gave
his name as Roddick and wished to
borrow 50, stating that Mrs. Springer
sent him there. Mr.. Alt accommo-
dated him. believing it to be all right.
Not long since Mrs. Springer came 10
Lancaster and was at Ats making
some purchases and before leaving
Mr.. Alt, reminded her of the So. She
was surprised and delared she had
not sent Roddick there for t1e money
and in fact knew he was not in town
that day.
This led to an investigation and on
Saturday r. Woods of Platteville, a
cousin of Roddick 5 and resembling
him greatly in appearance, was ar
rested and brought to Lancaster
where he was lodged in county Jail
on charge of obtaining money on
false pretenses, circumstances point
ing strongly to his guilt.
On Monday the matter was given a
hearing before Justice Wheeler. Mr..
Alt as complaining witness when
asked to identify Woods was not cer-
tain as to his being the fellow who
obtained the s. however and the de-
PENDANT was therefore discharged.

The professor who had me in charge
mixed some lather in an old cracked
tea cup, and he would only apply it
to various parts OF my anatomy with
a brush that might have seen better

sharpen the razor. which he did by
means Of an old suspender he used
for razor strop. The flies were real
plentiful; and every once in while
one would get caught in the meshes
of my whiskers, and before it could
make its escape he would have it
cemenled fast by means Of an extra
daub Of lather.

knee and proceeded to remove my
flowing beard. | told him to be care
ful. as too much weight might break
down the wheezy, crippled-up old
chair, but he said he didn't care as
they were tired of it anyhow. Sew
eral times he broke hicks out of the
razor but l didn't care cent. When
he got through on one side of my
face, he walked around and tackled
the other side, conversing glibly all
the time about things concerning
which he had but slight information.
Finally, when l thought there had
been enough blood shed, | managed
by a specially unearthly shrek to at
tract his attention long enough to in
form him that had enough. He
quit then, leaving an occasional oasis
in the sea of whiskers, and dried my

ably been used to clean windows. |

| was down to Chicago recently and
went to one of those barber colleges
for a shave. A barber college is not
a place where they teach how to re-
move whiskers in Latin aud Greek
and other deceased languages, as the
name would imply. They do not
teach the psychological side of bar
bering, or metaphysics as applied to
the art of hair cutting. They merely
teach green young boys who really
know more than their ancestors to re-
move whiskers and things while you
wait.
Invent into the college partly as an
experiment and also because they
charge but five cents for shave.

you might think, but was anxious
to know how barbering was taught in

and Monday when the school bell
rang and Willie walked around in his
stiff new clothing he wished that
there was no such thing as schco and
was tempted to tear of the new tog-
gerry bodily and 90 swimming. But
he will gra dually become used to the
oppressiveness. and in few DAYS he
will, if he is the proper sort of boy,
be down on his knees with those new
pantaloons, playing with some other
urchins. and his clothes will soon lose
their stiffness and become soiled and
he will enter INTO the schools delights
TOO numerous to mention.
Then there is the boy from the
country who is wild with JOY at the
good fortune of being able to enter
high school. lie perhaps has been
working hard all summer in the grain
and hay fields and his hands are cal
loused from toll, his face freekled and
tanned from the sun. He. too, is
dressed in a new suit of clothes, cheap
perhaps. and yet serviceable. He be-
gins the work with trepidation and
though the other boys make tun of
him and call him ''hayseed" and
pumpkin roller that country boy
will keep on studying and he will
soon show that he can learn three
times as much as some of the other
boys, and when he graduates will be
a credit to his alma mattel
But there is nothing new to
write concerning school life, save that
methods are being daily improved.
Younger pupils are beng taught to
know that they study for their own
good, not for the purpose of being
kept from mischief. Lancaster has
reason to be proud of her school sys-
tenn. A fine corps of teachers, ex-
cellent school buildings and a Board
of Education ever attentive go a long
way towards making the schools a
success and Lancaster has them all.

MITCHELL In NEW YORK.

Receiving mo announcement In Eff
forts to Confer with Mine Owners.
New York, March 26.-President
John Mitchell, OF the miners union,
sent the following statement to Wilkes
barre yesterday:
II have had no conference with ].
p. Morgan, or any other railroad
president or coal operator. Contrary
come to New York in response TO any
invitation. So far as know the min
ers have not up to this time been of
fered or granted any concessions. OF
course, we all hope to avert a strike
and are putting our most urgent ef-
forts to that end"
MI. Mitchell, with his colleagues,
John Fahy. Thomas Duffy and T. d,
Nichols, left the Ashland House early
yesterday morning and did not re-
turn until s o'clock last night. They
would not say where they had been
when they got back, but when asked
whether there would be a strike Mr.
Mitchell said: Il hope not"
Senator Hanna stated positively that
he was not here to settle anything
concerning the proposed coal strike,
and would not discuss the question.
The Herald says that the operators
Of the anthracite coal mines and the
executive officers of those railroads
that are largely interested In that in
dustry are unanimous in the opinion
that there will be no strike.
1t seems to be pretty well establish
ed that Mr.. Mitchell will not have an
opportunity of holding any conference
as the representative of the United
Mine Workers with any of the anthra-
cite coal operators or any person rep
resenting them, The operators are
averse to giving any recognition to the
organization.

st. Louis, March 26.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation, of Kansas, passed through this
city yesterday. She stopped long
enough to visit a liquor establishment
on Market street bearing her name.
Mrs. Nation called the proprietor to
task for daring to name his establish
ment after her. The saloon man said
he belonged to the nation, as did his
customers" and he meant to retain the
name.
Mrs. Nation, defying all orders to
leave the saloon. remained as long as
she could without missing her train,
and as she left she laughed at Sauer-
berger, the proprietor. Il did not
mean to smash anything" she said.
S%auerberger then pulled from his right
coat pocket a loaded revolver. saying:
"If she had ever made a TO
smash anything I'd have killed her
sure. But I'd give her $25 a day to
sit on my ice chest and keep still"
1t was while eating a sandwich at a
lunch counter before her visit to the
saloon that Mrs. Nation said she would
not smash II she could only vote.
