STATE SCHOOL LAWS.
The New Bill It Ready For the Legislature
The Text ol The Proposed Act.
When the convention o! represent
atives of the school boards of cities
of the third class met at Williamsport
recently for the purpose of discussing
legislation needed by the public
schools, they decided upon certain
matters which they desired incorpora
ted in an act to be presented to the
present Legislature.
After thoroughly discussing the
matter they appointed a committee, of
which Walter C. Gilmore, Esq., of
Williamsport, is the chairman, to pre
pare a bill which should embody their
action and be presented to the Legis
lature with their sanction and en
dorsement. Mr. Gilmore consulted with the
committee, with the state superin
tendent of schools, and with Repre
sentative Troxell, and as a result the
bill which 13 now ready has the appro
bation of these gentlemen.
Mr. Gilmore has placed the com
pleted work of the committee in the
hands of Mr. Troxell, and he will in
troduce it in the House. The full

Miss Catharine Faus has returned
to her parent's home, Mr. W. P.
Faus, after being absent four years.
She left her home, which was in
Monte Vista, Cal., a few days ago
visiting certain cities as she came
East. After spending a delightful
day in Denver she came to Lincoln,
Nebraska; from this city she came
through northern Nebraska, after
leaving the main line, and here saw
that beautiful country which is very
attractive at this season of the year.
After a few days of a very enjovable
visit there she pursued her journey to
the city of Omaha, thence to Chicago,
where a day was almost an hour in
looking at its size and giandeur. From
thete she came to Penna., where she
spent two days with her brother, who
is located at , thence to
her parent's home in Talmar.
We surely welcome sister Fans and
are grateful for her piesence alter so
long a period of absence.

He explains the lack of progress
on the island by stating the ease
with which its natural products
support the natives without work.
This may be true, but it doesn't
exactly square with the cabled de
parture of 400 Porto Rican laborers
for Hawaii, where they hope to
make a better living than they have
been able to do at home, which
appeared in the papers at the same
time that Gov. Alley's report did.
There are come queer stories be
ing told around Washington about
attempts to manipulate the report
of the Isthmian Canal Commission,
which i9 expected to be completed
in five or six weeks. The prelim
inary report which was sent to Con
gress last winter.it will be remember
ed was strongly in favor of the Nica
ragua route for the canal. Accord
ing to these stories, attempts are
being made to have the full report
modify the declarations in favor of
the Nicaragua route so as to make
it appear that the commission re
gards the Nicaragua and Panama
routes as equally feasible, from an
engineering point of view, and to
get something into the report about
the alleged political disadvantages
of the former. All the members of
the commission are gentlemen of
honorable standing as well as of
eminence in their profession and it
is not believed for a moment that
they will knowingly allow them
selves to be used by the Panama
lobby in any such manner. The
Commission is already committed
to the engineering advantages of
tlie Nicaragua route, and with the
political aspect they have nothing
whatever to do, and for them to
even touch upon it in their report
would .be not only bad taste but
going outside of their duties.

ALBANY, May 27. Electric cars rac

hour cost five lives yesterday afternoon
by a terrific collision, while over 40 prom
inent people, gome fatally and others seri
nusly Injured, fill the Occident winds of

accident ever heard of in this locality.
The scone of the accident was a point
about two miles out of (ireenhush, on
the line of the Albany and Hudson rail
way, a just completed road of the third
pattern. The point where the cars met
on tlie single track was at a iJinrp curve,

in this way was badly injured. The
