TEACHERs DECEIvE PAN.

AS is usual in October, the teachH
ers checks were not sent to the
schools Monday, the first Of the
month. The schools did not open
until the fenth of September and be-
tween that date and the first of Octo-
Der there was too little time in which
% make the necessary changes on
the pay rolls, due to the large num-
Der of teachers whose service began
last month. Many of the pay rolls
were not received by the Board OF
Education until after the twentieth
and the checks did not reach the
paymasters until Tuesday. That day
and yesterday we're spent in revising
the rolls and checks and making the
necessary deposits in the banks upon
which the checks are drawn. City
Paymaster Zimmerman stated yester-
daythat the teachers would receive
their checks today.

The most picturesque town in Am
erica is Mauch Chunk, in a narrow
pass between the Lehigh River and
the overhanging mountains, rises on
the slopes like a quaint Swiss village.
Historically the locality is known in
connection with the discovery of an
thracite coal. This discovery led to
the construction of a bit of railroad
which is the Oldest in the country.
originally the track was laid to con
vey the coal to the river, but o it
is maintained solely for recreation
purposes. The cars are first hauled
up a high hill, and from that point
they travef by their own gravity
around a circuit of nearly eighteen
miles. AS one ascends the steep

1t was reported a few days age
that there was an attempt being
made to get up four subscription
dances during the month of October
at the club house. The attempt has
failed owing to two or three reasons
The people were not thoroughly en-
thusiastic enough to carry it through.
Also it was decided that there was
hardly any way to get the club warm
enough. The club house is built out
over the water, which makes it love
w and cool in summer, but practical
" useless in winter. It. is a great
shame because as things look now,
sewarcn will probably be very dull
in the winter, so it is best to nave as
much going IN now as possible. A
good many of the residents are going
to New York for the winter and the
