PENNSY AND READING TO RAISE
FREIGHT RATES.

Within the next two months the
eastern railroads, including the Penn
sylvania Railroad and Reading Rail
way, will file with the Interstate Com.
MERGE Commission revised tariffs on
both class and commodity freight
rates, constituting an increase in
these rates. By doing SO they will be
followed in the footsteps of most of
the western roads and of several in
New England, although the tendency
in that section Of the country has
been to increase passenger rather than
freight rates.
Information from thoroughly re-
liable source is to the effect that the
schedules are not yet made up, but
that both the Pennsylvania and Read
ing will join with other roads in the
Trunk Line Association in arranging
al advance in rates and it has been
strongly intimat ed that some of the
roads may file their declarations as
early as the middle OF the present
month.
Radical increases in the railroads
"cost of living" will be assigned as
the reason for the revision upward of
the freight tariffs. 1t will be shown
that the cost OF material equipment
aud labor has steadily advanced dur
ing the last few years and the recent
advances in wages granted generally
by the railroads of the east to nearly
all classes of employees will be cited as
an additional drain on the resources
of the companies.

Applications were presented by Drs.
Closson, Williams and Larson for the
position of Medical Inspector during
the next term.
Geo. B. Cummings presented his
| application for the position of truant
officer
On motion the Secretary was in
structed to notify council regarding
the new walk to be laid at the foot of
York street.
The board then took up the question
OF doing away with essays at the com,
ing graduation exercises in June.
Several communications had been re-
ceived from the parents OF some of the
graduates regarding the matter, the
principal objection being that the
essays as general thing were too
lengthy and that so many of them
made the evenings entertainment
very dull and tiresome The gradual
Ing class of this year was present at
the meeting in a body, and Mr.. How
ard Smith on behalf of the class ex-
planned to the Board the principal OBJ
lections of the class and outlined the
program to be substituted If ESSAYS
were done away with.
After viewing the situation from all
angles it was the concensus of opinion
of the members of the Board that the
essays be done away with and the
program changed accordingly. The
Board decided to have an extra speak
err and to lengthen the musical pro-
gram somewhat in lieu of the essays.
The Board next proceeded to the
election of Supervising Principal,
teachers for the different schools,
truant officer, janitors and medical
Inspector for the next school year.
Prof. Lonis Il. Boutwell, was unani.
mously elected as Supervising Prin-
cipal.
The following Is the list of teachers
for the coming year: Misses Ostrand-
er, Mnlally, Call, McKeever, Consi-
dine, Reilly, Petrie, Lear. Naylor,
Hoag!and, Mlcke. Miller. Gallagher,
Tuthill, Unger, Stout This list not
including Miss Sanford, who has ac-
cepted a position elsewhere.
Janitots elected: Messrs Nalty,
Reading and Lowe.
George b. Cummings was elected
truant officer.
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
Board that it would be wise to have
two medical inspectors instead of one
as i'll former years, in-as-much as the
work in the past had been too strenu-
GUS for one doctor, and with these
views in mind the Board elected DIR.
Edward W. Closson and DR.. Louis G.
Williams to fill the position of Medi-
cal Inspector at salary of $3.50 per
year each, payable monthly.
On motion of S II. Moon the Secre-
tary was instructed to notify the Prin-
cipas of the different schools to have
a fire drill at least once week.
The Board adjourned to meet We'd
nesday evening, May 18th.

The election this fall will have more
motive power behind it than usual and
that will give it Importance. A Gov
ernor, the full delegation Of ten Con-
gressmen, one-thjrd Of the State Sen
ate, sixty members Of Assembly and a
horde of local officials to elect besides
the subsequent election of United
States Senator will make such a large
number OF candidates that every COM
munity will be stirred up by the efforts
Of candidates and their friends and
workers. Party lines will be more
firmly drawn by the efforts of hundreds
Of interested persons and the election
will warm up the mass. The general

GOOD OLD FASHIONED WINTERS.

We clip the following from a Tren-
ton exchange, which we think worth
reprinting and preservation in your
scrap books:
1--WE may think that we had very
severe winter and most people are
probably satisfied that it is better for
the health to have such severe winters
but the death rate all over the country
during this last winter was alarmingly
large; besides the increase i'll cost for
fuel and clothing necessitated by the
severe weather.
MANY of us have seen even more
severe winters, and our ancestors tell
us of very cold weather here the past
century, but even colder winters are
on record. We read in an old English
magazine that "in A. ID. 40l the Black
sea was entirely frozen over. In 1853
not only the Black sen, but the Strait
of Dardauelles were frozen over; the
snow IN some places rose fifty feet

from Cremona to the sea; the wine
sacks were burst aud the trees split

Dead Baby's Body Caught In Shad Net.

Strange things are found in shad
net when haul is made. On Tuesday
morning at the Scarborough Fishery,
New Hope, when the net was drawn
in, among the live and kicking shad
there was found cigar box, tightly
closed. When it was opened there
was found in it the dead body Of a
newly-born child.
Coroner Howard H. White was tele-
phoned for and went to New Hope to
investigate the matter. There is no
clue to the box, nor is there any sus-
picion as to who threw it in the Della

given by their granddaughter, Mrs.
Julia Montoya, with whom they live,
Espor, who is of French parentage, was
born in what is now New Mexico in
1900, and his wife was born in Taos,

Life is full Of compensations. The
poor man who has to work hard may
envy the rich man who does not work.
But it is mistake, for the
poor man, for the reason he
does have to work, is healthier, more
contented and far happier than the
man who does his utmost to kill time
because he does not have to work for a
living.
