Work Of the Malta.

Asa result of the efforts Of the better
class of Italians 10 and around Carbon
dale, Pa, to rid their colonies Of the
member, of a lswless gang who have
been committing many outrages, street
battle occurred at that place last night,
which was attended with the loss of two
lives and the woundiDg of one man.
At 8 O'Clock last night SantO Carressi,
one of the gang, was caught by con-
stable in the act Of holding up and leyyiug
tribute on one of the Italians Of the
colony. The constable and thee OF the
law aud order men started to take Car
ressi to Jail. Word was quickly passed
to the gangs headquarters in a nearby
saloon, and four of them rushed out and
opened fire on the constable and his
posse. The latter returned the fire.
When the attacking party emptied their
revolvers they fed, leaving all three OF
the cons;able's escort lying in the road
with bullets in their bodies. The con-
stable protected himself by holding his
prisoner in front of him.
Joseph ToIerico was shot through The
head and heart, and died in a few min
utes. Frank Ferressi was taken to the
Emergency Hospital with bullet in his
breast near the heart and another in the
abdomen. He died at midnight. The
third victim received a bullet in the
arm, and after recovering from the shock
was able to walk home. No trace has
been found of the fugitive assailants up
to late hour last night.
1t is believed the gang is affiliated
with the Malta or some other like or
ganization, as part of the tribute money
is sent to headquarters in New York,
according to the statements made by
members of the gang when levying
tribute.
Among the outrages recently perpe-
trated was the knlfing of four men who
refused to pay the tribute. In each IN
stance the victim was called out OF his
house late at night and slashed across
the face. Arrests have been made from
time to time by the Carbondale police.
but in every case the parties who private
Iy gave the information which led 10
the arrest could not be indu ced to testi-
fly in public, so fearful were they OF the
gang.

STORM HITS THE EAST.
Furious Gale, Accompanied by Snow.
Sweeps Atlantic Coast.

Sweeps Atlantic Coast.
New York was entirely cut of from
the South and West Sunday night by
fierce hurricane, accompanied by rain and
snow. which swept the Atlantic coast
Starting from Florida Saturday night.
the storm Of wind and rain came up the
coast at almost cyclonic speed. Early
Sunday morning il was central of Cape
Hatteras, although its ever gathering
force was felt far to the northward.
Rain began falling in New York at )
a, m. and early in the morning changed
to wet snow. The wind. which had
been blowing moderately veered to the
southeast and shortly assumed hurricane
proportions. At o'clock at night the
weather bureau noted velocity of forty
two miles an hour, which increased TO
forty-eight miles at $50 o'clock. That
speed kept up for several hours. AT 10
o'clock the storm center was at Block
Island, where the barometer showed a
pressure of 2S.62 inches, with the wind
blowing seventy-six miles an hour. At
Nantucket the barometer was trite
higher and the wind sixty miles.
Wire service out of New York was
tied up more effectually Sunday night
than at any time since the blizzard of
1883. The Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies had no direct COM
munication with cities further south than
Baltimore. and al western poiats We're
cut off. The Postal cabled some of its
Most urgent messages to GGuso, \. $,
from which point they we're wired TO
Montreal and thence forwarded to Chi
cago over Canadian Pacific wires.
Chicago communication WIKI the storm
swept center of the East was established
i'll a meager way through repahed lines
aud telephones during Monday end facts
concerning the devastation of tne terrific
blizzard were received with long Interrupt
tons. The business of the Chicago
Board Of Trade the Stock Exchange and
In fact. all brokerage establishments, was
suspended during the entire day because
of the utter ippossibihty of getting di-
rect wires in working order between Chi
cago and New York City. Many brok-
ers, eager for quotaions, tried early in
the day to reach Gotham by sending ca
Diagrams that had TO eneircle the globe
to get there
Advices Indicate that several persons
lost their lives in the storm. Many boats
along the Atlantic coast were wrecked or
imperiled, and those that were unable to
make ports of shelter presumably went
down. Valiant rescues were numerous.
Scores of small towns were completely
isolated. Damage to property in them
will aggregate hundreds of thousands of
dollars. People living in Scranton, Pa,
had to shovel their way out of houses.
Three feet of snow fell there. In the
vicinity of Harrisburg che downfall was
not quite so heavy-the depth measuring
% inches in that section. In New York
State the storms center was near AL
bany.

I'M HARD TIMES.
Strongest Tests of Character Bring Out
the True and False.

Strongest Tests of Character Bring Out
the True and False.
Times of commercial adversely bring
out the true or false ring of character.
When necessities force curtailment of
expenditures on superfiuities men and
women reveal the true state of their
minds by what they consider superfu-
tiles
The virtue that lies in keeping up
appearance depends entirely on the
sort of appearance we aim to keep up.
1t is right t;lat everything that min
listers to the higher needs of our ma
ture should be preserved, that we
should cling to the honorable social
position; that neither our present
homes nor essential comforts nor those
things which involve the welfare Of
persons dependent on us should be
early or lightly sacrificed.
But it is not indicative of good
hearts or sound judgment to substi-
tute false outward show for real self
reliance, and to pretend to be able to
keep hold of things which cost us our
lifes blood.
If the world approves aiming quail
tiles and the desire to please, it de-
spises those who cringe.
When we have set ourselves a high
standard it matters little in the long
run whether it be the popular standard
or not.
fhe keeping up of brave appear
ance implies that behind it is staunch
heart and enterprising spirit, which
not easily yields before difficulties, and
whether the object be to preserve ones
business credit, to maintain social po-
sition or TO live up to reputation for
character, the worthiness of the effort
is appreciated by the good public.
In this way sympathy and consid-
Grafton are gained, and victory is
wrested from defeat. = Philadelphia

Too Costly 70 Give Away.

Among the first-claSS passengers on
home-bound transatlantic steamer
was a young woman whose extreme
economy had not permitted any lavish
expenditures during the foreign tour.
1t was. consequently, with commend
able pride that she referred repeatedly
to the materia. for two silk dresses,
purchased at a bargain, which she was
bringing home to her mother and sis
ter. Even the suggestion of one
sympathetic listener that she would
probably have to pay duty produced
merely a temporary restraint in the
complacency with which she viewed
her proposed generosity.
At last, when the steamer approach
ed New York and the custom-house
official received the somewhat plain
young wamon at the cabin table, her
fellow passengers were curious.
Being asked the usual questions
about dutiable property, she replied
stoutly and defiantly that she had the
material for two silk dresses.
Are they for yourself?' the inspec-
tor demanded.
NO" she declared, 'they are not.
J am bringing them home for pres
ents."
''Then, since they are not for your
own use, l shall be compelled TO
charge you duty" and he announced
the required amount.
Later she was heard to say in O
yindictive manner. THAT has made
those dresses cost me so much that
| simply can't afford to give them
away now. I'm just going to keep
them for myself"

Wealth of Tcxas.

The wide-spreading State Of Texas,
with a population of more than 5000
600 according to the last Federal GEN.
sus, produces more cattle than any
other commonwealth in the Union, and
is much in advance of any rival in
the number and value of the cattle
within its borders. Moreover, it is
ahead in its multitude of horses, mules
and goats. Its great stretches of TIM
Der land are of immense value. and its
extensive investments in the manufac-
ture of lumber would alone make the
State notable; but its production of
fruits and vegetables is already enor-
nous and is increasing rapidly. Texas
is making such progress in develop
ment. and has such resources and PCS
sibilities within its huge area. that
many millions of hard-working immi-
grants could prosper in Texas homes.

Girls That Arc in Demand.
The girls that are wanted are good

Girls That Arc in Demand.
The girls that are wanted are good
girls
Good from the heart TO the lips;
Pure as the lily is white and pure
From its heart to its sweet leaf tips.
The girls that are wanted are home
Girls that are mothers right hand,
That fathers and brothers can trust to,
And the little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstone,
And pleasant when nobody sees,
Kind and sweet to their own folks,
Ready and anxious to please.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls,
That know what to do and to say;
That drive with a smile and soft word
The wrath Of the household away.
The girls that are wanted are girls of
sense,
Whom fashion can never deceive;
Who can follow whatever is pretty,
And dare what is silly to leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful
girls,
Who count What a thing viii cost.
Who use with prudent, generous hand,
But see that nothing IS lost.
The girls that are wanted are girls with
hearts:
They are wanted for mothers and
wives,
Wanted to cradle in loving arms
The strongest and frailest lives.
The clever. the witty, the brilliant girl
There are few who can understands:
But, oh. for the wise, loving home girls
There's constant, steady demand.

The Art of "nfother;ug.n


"How's your mother, Carrier asked
a friend of 12-year-old city girl whose
mother was well-known worker in
various organizations for social better
ment.
Il haven't seen mother for ten
days. replied Carrie "She isn't up
when | go TO school, and she doesn't
come home till after I'm in bed at
night; but | guess she's all right"
Evidently there is something wrong
In that household. Miss AIcCracken, in
her recent article on The Woman on
the Farm puts her finger on the evil.
She points out an important advantage
which the country child has over the
city child Schools may not be so long
or so good in the country, and oppor-
tunities for books ana music and pic
lures may be few and far between. But
mothers in the country are mothers
indeed.
you see" says the little girl from
the farm, 'I've seen my mother almost
the whole time ever since l was born.
l almost always could do everything
that she did and go everywhere she
went. 1t was so unusual when l
couldn't that always heard afterward
every word about what happened. Now
my cousin-who lives in the city
doesn't do that way with her mother.
They couldn't. Her mother goes to
too many places and does too many
things that-she Says-aren't for chill
dren, and it takes her so much time
10 do them that she wouldn't have time
to tell about them, even if her daugh-
ter wanted to hear, which she doesn't
much"
There is the problem sharply stated.
Its solution is not so easy; but it is
certain that there is no public service
which woman can render so vitality
important to the future of the race as
just this very "mothering" Only in
the sort of love which penetrates the
whole life of the family, and makes
1t sweet and sound and loyal, can be
found the remedy for the social and
domestic unrest which is more danger
Gus to our country than fore'rn fleets
or political dissensions.-You Com
panion.
