Can Recover the Claims.

HARRISBURG, April 3.-Attornev

opinion that under the act Of 1887, re-

ployes in this city, Altoona and othez
points along the Pennsylvania line, for
debt, sent a letter to Attorney General
Elkin stating the case and asking his
opinion on the subject.
Mr.. Elkin concludes his opinion a4
follows
"This whole system of making col.
lections is vicious, savors of sharp
practice, and should not be encourag.
ed. 1t seems to me that, when our mer.
chants and other creditors fully under
stand the true characters of the suits
instituted and the penalty which they
must pay in case suits are pressed
against them, they viii refrain from
making assignments of claims for this
purpose"

George Easterbrooks Seriously
Injured.

Last Saturday evening, Geo. Easter
brooks, employed as conductor on EN-
porium & R.V.R.R. met with terrible
accident, while discharging his duties.
His train was crossing the mountain
from w. d. Johnson's North Creek
shingle mill to c.. B. Howard Com
pany's property, when truck under a
car, loaded with shingles, broke down.
The trainmen attempted to take truck
from under an empty car to replace
the broken one under the loaded car.
They lacked up the empty car took the
truck out and then began blocking up
the car so as to usu the jacks under the
car. While doing the blocking the car
swung sidewise overbalancing the Jacks
and then fell. Easterbrooks was caught
under the car. His head was caught on
the side by the end of tie and all the
tissues on the right side of head includ-
ing his ear were torn loose from line
about one inch back of the eye extend
ing from the top of his forehead down
unto his neck and torn loose back as far
as the back of his head and cutting off
the temporal artery from which there
was a great loss of blood. There was
another cut about four inches long over
left forehead extending from just above
eyebrow to top of head, and one about
three inches long on the left side of back
of head. The head ofthe right shoulder
blade was also broken and one finger
on right hand badly lacerated.
While he was held fast under the car
he had presence of mind enough to
direct the whole work of his release.
lie was brought to Emporium on the
engine and taken to his home. DR..
Heilman was summoned and after
learning the extent of his ininries sum-
moned DR.. Smith to administer chloro-
form while the wounds were being
dressed. The wounds were carefully
cleansed and dressed, and the shoulder
put in position to heal 1t was deemed
advisable to take him to Williamsport
Hospital for the after-treatment, which
was accordingly done. DR.. Heilman
accompanied him and LETT him the next
morning resting comparatively easy.
The indications are favorable for his
recovery.

Street Paving.

Mr.. Josiah Howard, our wealth.
lest, as well as most public spirited
citizen, made a proposition to the
Borough Council, of which he is
member, at the regular meeting
last Monday evening looking to
the paving of Fourth street from
the Climax office to Chestnut street.
Mr.. Howard declared his willing
ness to donate one-third of the cost
(about $4,000 provided the peo-
pie would contribute the other two
thirds, either by donation or from
Borough funds.
Our taxpayers are sick and tired
of being taxed to keep up mud
roads. Let street paving, cinder
roads or something besides mud be
used. Let not another dollar be
expended for mud holes. Make
good streets if it be only one block
at a time.
Mr.. How ard is the heaviest tax
payer in the county, has made his
money mere, and, probably expects
to reside among us for years to
come and work for the upbuilding
of his hometown and county.
His broad ideas Of public improve
ments may seem too much for some
of our citizens, but they should re-
member that no town improves in
Importance unless the people are
progressive and manifest the true
spirit of go-aheadativeness, that at
tracts the attention of the seeker
for homes, the promoter of indus
tries and the manufacturer. To
make our county what it should be
we all must be more progressive,
energetic and wide-awake. Would
that Emporium had a dozen Josiah
HoWard's.

The Close of the Star Course

With the Copley Square Trio of
Boston the Peoples Star Course of the
Season of 1901-1902, formally closed.
The entertainments furnished from
time to time have been uniformly of
high order of excellence and have
represented not only much hard work
on the part of the committee, but
large outlay of money, as only the
best attractions in the Lyceum field
have been listed. We believe there is
a general desire that the enterprise, so
successfully operated for the last two
seasons, should be continued and made
permanent
1t is not unlikely that an effort will
be made at the proper time, to enlist
the cooperation of our citizens in the
furtherance of this end. Ofthe Copley
Trio itself only words of praise may be
said. 1t combines elements of musical
variety and novelty, beyound anything
previously presented and includes only
artists of decided merit. Miss Blanche
Sears is pleasing violinist and cap
tivated her auditors with her masterful
interpretations of classic and standard
compositions; Miss NJ. Isola Sears ex-
cells as a pianist, having a finished
touch and is equally at homo with the
guitar and Xylophone; Miss Marion
Whitaker's skillful manipulation oftho
sleigh bells and xylophone was a highly
appreciated feature, as her frequent
recalls indicated, while her whistling
solos won instant and emphatic favor.
In fact the entire entertainment was
worthy of the occasion and of the
artists giving it.

The Mothers Meeting, organized for
the good of our schools was so taken
up discussing the "curfew" law last
Friday that the following questions
were considerded of not enough i'm
portance to act upon, but were put
over until the meeting in September.
As they are of great Importance to the
majority of patrons of our schools,
send them to you for publication that
those i'll authority may answer if they
choose.

for continuing in Office lax instructor whom
they know to be deficient?
3.-Teachers in the lower grades complain of
over crowding of pupils. each room averaging no.
why is twelve large number for the graduating
class?
4.-Is brutality one ofthe requisites of a success
ful teacher in our schools?
5.-Why is writing in all its detail not carried
along with the pupils beyond the first grade?
6.-Why will teachers, who are pressed for time,
spend half OF their time ranting on the terrible
punishment they will innict on their scholars AT
that?
why are our boys leaving school in their
Grammar and Freshman year?
A PATRON.
The above article, coming as it does
from patron of the schools, and tax
payer, we deem it our duty to publish
the same. yet in no matter endorsing
the sentiments contained therein.
School directors, and especially teach
ers, have hard road to hoe. The
charges above, or rather insinuations,
are questions that will no doubt be ans
wered by the directors or faculty. As
far as our teachers are concerned we
believe they have given excellent
satisfaction. All scholars are not
angels-far from it-and living, as the
writer does, too close, for comfort, to
the high school building, we are of the
opinion that had we to live in the same
building some of the little scamps, and
more of the larger ones, would get a
good sound thrashing three times day;
we would adjourn the mothers meet
ings and send the members home to
keep their children from off the streets.

Michael Teddy, of Brooklyn, while
on a spree two years ago, Knocked his
wife's eye out. His wife, now hope
lessly blind, asks that he not be
punished. We do not admire this
oma She should have left her
brutal husband years ago. She does
not love him. No woman loves a
brutal man. Our system of handling
drunkards is all wrong. They should
be punished; not only for crime com
mitted while drunk, but for plain in
toxication-for disgusting, silly con-
duct. If drunkards were punished
properly there would be less drunken
ness.
