Mrs. Ludwig returned Tbursdnv from Shiekshinney where she him been visitinp. We nre sorry to hear of the illness of Mrs. Berlin. Helen Singer viited in this plane Sunday. G. N. Killnm is entertaining his ilnuuhter, Mrs. Charles Killnm, and children. Alfred K. Killnm, who is suffering with .pneumonia is rnpidly improv ing under the enro of a trained nurse from Scran ton. March 2!?th the teacher of White school No. 3, gave an entertainment. The a'naa was artistically draped with evergreens and very prettily trimmed with roses, carnations and sweet peas. The children were well drilled and recited their parts with credit. Musio was furnished by Miss Clirlt, and many parents had good reasons to be proud of their boys and girls. Especially Miss Crump deserves credit for the way she trained her scholars. Those whom we think the best reciters were Snrnh and Willnrd Wilson, Laura, Etnnialine, Harry and Clar ence Singer, Mary, Edward and Gerald Gamble, Annie and Jakie Bnrtz, Kate Gumble and Leonard Simons. Now that we have chronicled this entertainment in due form, and en deavored to give credit where credit is due, and hope we have given sat isfaction to the participants therein, we have a question we would like to ask our board of school directors. Do you gentlemen see any profit in this method of teaching? It is perhaps not know to all of you that this entertainment has been upon the tapis for fully one month (our school term Is but seven months) and during that month from two to five lessons have been ommitted to give time for rehearsal or practice. On one day eight lessons were dropped, and at another time but three wore recited. When you con sider the shortness of the term and the value of time to the scholars, do you think it pays to waste the mon ey intended to be used In preparing our youth for the battle of life? Do yon think it pays to devote the childrens time to frivolous amuse inent? Time that should be devoted to study and which once lost can never be regained ! True I the children enjoyed it, as also did the older folks, but, the children do not realize that they are paying dearly for their amusement and the older participants are not blessed with children at scliool, and perhaps do not feel bo interested as the parents of the children. We do not think that our legislators in ap propriatiug money for school pur. poses intended that it should be used for amateur theatricals, and we ourselves prefer that our children become expert in the three R's, We would remind you gentlemen that yours is a position of great responsibility. You were elected by your fellow citizens in order that their children might be benefitted by your superior knowledge of edu oational methods, and we ask that in futherance of your duties you use tliat knowledge for their benefit. Look a little closer into the conduct of your schools, see that they are properly managed. (Jive OS compe. tent teachers and when you have voted that certain studies shall be tunght, see that they are taught. Live up to your promise to do your duty and you will receive the thanks and approbation of thobe who look to you to farther the welfare of their children.

Hanfnrd Sutherland from White Sulphur Springs is visitiDg relatives in Matamoras. Miss Edna Van Akin, a teacher in one of the New York City grammar schools, is at her home for the Easter vacation. Miss Freda Kessler, a teacher at Goshen, N. Y ' spent Sunday at her home on River street. ' Eugene Cockrano from New York City spent Bnrday in Matamoras. Miss Bertha Bell of the Strouds- burg Normal school is at her home in Matrtmoros for the Easter vaca tion. The friends of Mail Clerk George Bunnell are pleased to hear he is well enough to resume his duties again. Joseph Palmatier is located in Matamoras again. During the win ter months he was in Port Jervis at the Edwards House. Frank Wehinger, who was injured at the time of the October flood, is now at bis home on Washington street. Bis leg is not yet well, but is a great deal better. It will not be a long time before be is able to work Miss Cora Billman, in company with her 'sister, Mrs. E. J. Lord, left town Friday to visit relatives in New York City and Rutherford, N J. J. A. Welsh is confined to the house with a lame foot. Rev. Ora .,J. Shoop arrived in town on Friday morning to officiate at the funeral of little Gordon Hunt at 2 o'clock p. in. He returned to the Newark Conference at 4 o'clock in oompany with Mrs. Shoop. Although there was a big flood in the Delaware Saturday, the First street ferry did giand work in oarry ing people across the turbulent waters. The boat made its regular trips, managed by Messrs. Theodore Duraut, John Durant, Goo. Lucky, J. Campbell and J. Van Shock, who did splendid work all day. The boat stopped running at 6 30 p. in,, as it was getting dark and large cakes of ice running could not be seen enough to enable the boat to steer clear of them. . All day the ice gave trouble, but large cakes were shoved aside as they approached the boat. Only a limited number of passengers were ferried over at one time. On the last trip the boat carried 14 passen gers and one gentleman rode in a row boat which was attached to the large boat to be in readiness in esse of accident. The running of the ferry was a great accommodation to the public, at many people had to cross the river for their work, at'd the citizens of Matamoras feel nude obligations to the persons who bravely ran the boat under perilous oonditionB. The river was too high for Mr. Clark s ferry to run on Saturday, but both ferries are operation today. in A Great Sanitation There was a big sensation iu Lees ille, lod., when W. H. Brown of that place, who was expected to die, had his life saved by Dr. King New Discovery for consumption He writes : "I endured insufferable agonies fioni asthma, but your New Discovery gave me immediate relief and soon thereafter effected a com plete cure."

Phe worn a riillcu- 1 ous little apron (for notninfr mil liow), nhout the siz.e of a handker chief, and a houoewifnly expression that she always dons on such occa- lons. Suddenly sbe glanced up. "Look! Quick! Out of the window. c.k. No, .the other way. There she oes." "Hy Jove, wlint a pretty glrll" I ex claimed. "Who Is shu?" Hut you were looking ths wrong way," said roily, "and that wasn't ths girl I c-.rant." "I was looking at the girl across the street,"I said, "and she was quits the prettiest girl I have ever seen except one," I added, dutifully. Polly set the kettle down with a thump that Jarred the teacups. "It's always that way," she said, reslitnodiy. "The girl across the street, like the pirl he didn't get, al ways is a man's Ideal. If lie never marries, he carries her imnee aliont In his heart, or her photograph About In his pocket, and uses It for a stand ard with which to compare all the other women he may meet. If lis does marry somebody else she bo- comes a sweet memory that rises every time his wife burns the biscuits or forgets to take her hair out of curl papers. AVhy is it?" and Tolly tilted her lltite nose upward until Bhe look ed almost dlcnilled, "that the mere fact that a girl doesn't want to marry man makes him wild to get her?" "Polly," said I, "do you remember when you were a very little girl how you used to lie awake nights trying to catch Panta Claus? Do you recol lect how the jam on the top shelf was always the kind you liked best. Did you never long to see the other side of the moon, or eat what wasn't good for you, or piny with the nnusrhty little girl whom you were forbidden to speak to? It's human nature. The illusive, the unattainable, the thing we cannot get always has been the thing we want." a Polly pushed back a little curl that will get Into her eyes, and began cut ting lemon, meilitatiely. "Yes," she agreed, "but It's differ ent with a woman. She always feels sort of resentiment toward the man who won't fall In love with her, while a man rather respects a woman (or re fusing him and admires her for snub blng him. The longer she remains on the other side of the street " "That Is it," I broke In, "the longer She remains nn the other Bide of the street. Hut I have observed that it Is generally very easy to cross over yourself, and then " "And then she is no longer the girl across the street?" broke in Polly, waving half a lemon trltimphly, Then Bhe loses her illusion, her at traction. It is as If you had turned the limelight off of the leading lady In the phiy. Her Titian hair becomes red; you observe that her nose turns up at fhe end; her diamonds ar only paste, nnd her figure Is nothing more nor less than the result of wearing a straight-front corset. The stock mar ket falls, and you are glad to sell out your Interest In the girl at the very lowest figure. The very fact that she has succumbed to your entreaties or your fasclnntlons, the very fact that she loves you, or Is willing to flirt with you " Polly will you put down that lem on. It is taking the color out ot me already." Polly subsided. "Let me ask you," I went on, seri ously, "why. If you girls know all this, do you bo often cross the street your selves?" "What do you mean?" said Tolly, "inu send us sofa pillows, I re torted. Tolly winced. And necktie cases," I went on. "and Invite us to violet teas." "Mr. Heavyfeather." said Polly, "will you kindly pass the sugar?" 1 passed. Tolly took two lumps with the dig nity of a tragedy queen. "It Is evident," she remarked In tone like the trickling of Ice water that your charms have made you i victim of feminine attentions. But,' she continued, "there are girls and girls. The kind to whom you fcavs reforence never were like the girl on the other side of the street. They never gave you nor any other man an opiortunlty to observe them from distiince.' I blew the smoke of my clgaretts reflectively. It Is always amusing to hear Tolly talk sensibly, because well because her pompadour Is fluffy and her nose Is retrousse and In that nonsensical apron well "Yes," I hean slowly; "now that you come to mention It, there was once a girl " "I didn't ask for particulars, Mr. Heavyfoather." "The most beautiful girl 1 ever knew " '"Will you have some more tea, Mr. Heavyfeather?" "The cleverest " "One lump, or two?" "The girl with the greatest amoi nt of common sense " "Lemon ?" "And she was the plrl afross f "I don't want to know! "The girl across " "I won't listen"' "The girl acro " Polly rose In righteous wrath. "Ths girl across the table." And tne kestle bubbled merrily.

The Kansas City Journal continues to say unpleasant things about 8ei - ator Teller. The sntne votes bv which Henator Teller came to the senate brought Congressman Shaf- roth of Colorado and that gentleman manfully resigned stating thnt evi dence had been presented showing hat he had been francllently elected. The Journal snys that of onrsn Mr. Teller is simply dtdaying his own resignation until he can settle bis own affairs nt Washington, and that it may be forthcoming any day Washington politicians who admit that the Democratic situation was shrouded iu deep gloom prior to the time when Hearst started in this spring fail to see wherein the situ- tion has been improved since this new development. Secretary Shaw calls attention to the fact that President Cleveland was by no means a trust hater and the inference is that his election would probably be considerably more pleasant to Wall street than would Roosevelt's.
