LEARN A TRADE.
The general tendency of parents
to-day is to make professional men
out of their sons, although there is
a great unsatisfied demand for first
class mechanics, while the clerical
ranks are overflowing with mc 1
who have high ambition but are
unable to earn a livelihood. It is a
noteworthy fact tha. evdy time a
class graduates from a high school
the large percentage of the male
graduates endeavor to become pro
fessional men. Entering a profes
sion they often find the ranks over
crowded, and gradually become
clerks and subordinate employees
in capacities where there is no op
portunity for them to better their
situation. The really independent,
happy man today is he who has
mastered a good trade. If he is an
industrious worker and willing to
live economically he will spend his
declining days in independence free
from labor. The rule, on the other
hand, is that a professional man is
never done working until he dies.
Especially desirable these days are
the trades of bricklayer, carpenter,
mechanical engineer, machinist,
iron and steel worker. Men in these
trades can earn high wages, and
the hours are not long. Telegraphy
is another line in which the supply
of men is nearly equal to the de
mand, aud the wages are constantly
climbing higher. In many towns
the dearth of good tradesmen is
very noticeable. Boys, learn trades
and you won't regret it. Parents,
induce your son to take some of
the many trades that will enable
him to, in the long run, greatly im
prove his condition in life.
"TEN TALKS TO MEN."
A pamphlet has been recently
printed at this office, which con
tains ten of the addresses that were
delivered by Hon. Fred Ikeler to
the Men's Bible Union on Sunday
mornings. It is unnecessary to say
that they are able and interesting
They are more; they are entertain
ing and instructive, and while their
author did not intend them as nights
of oratory, they are the kind of
plain, practical, every day talks
that men like to listen to. The
fact that Mr. Ikeler's addresses
have increased his class from sixteen
up to more than three hundred, is
all that need be said of them.
They are in convenient form,
and have been placed on sale at Bi-
dleman's book store by the Bible
Union. They will be found excel
lent reading.

The Grand Opera House will

Considerable excitement was
caused in the Nice town post office
last Tuesday by the explosion of
an infernal machine addressed to
Secretary of the Treasury Cortel
you. It was in the shape of a
small package, and when the mail
clerk attempted to cancel the stamps
on the harmless looking object an
explosion ot great force occurred,
which however, did little damage.
There is no clue to the sender. 1

Danville Sewage.
Danville is much disturbed by
the discovery that the sewage from
the Hospital for the Insane is emp
tying into the river just above the
town. The river is very low, and
there is no current on the south
side.
Three years ago the Danville
Hospital Trustees installed a rrod
eiu sewage disposal plant but it
never worked satisfactorily and I he
present is one of the times when ii.
?s out of order and the sewage nec
essarily is being dumped into the
liver.
The borough council is taking
action in the matter.
Black Hand "King's" Roll a Large One
During the second raid by the
Constabulary of the Black Hand
dives at Briar Creek last Wednes
day a big roll of bills and a quanti
ty of silver to the amount of sever
al thousands of dollars in all, was
discovered in the house of Fortuna
to Calabra, one of the men who is
charged with murder. It is the be
lief that Calabra intended to make
good his securities with this sum,
and skip his bail. Since the raids
many Italians have disappeared
from West Berwick and vicinity.
NOTORIOUS HOUSE RAIDED.
After sixteen years immunity,
the house of ill-repute of Mrs. Anna
Houch in Catawissa was raided on
Monday, and the proprietress was
arrested on two charges, one for
keeping a bawdy house, and the
other, for selling liquor without li
cense.
Information was laid against her
by one of the state constabulary,
under instructions from District
Attorney Small. Deputy Sheriff
Maust and the state constables made
the arrests which included the mis
tress and several eirls, the latter
being held as witnesses. The
prisoners were taken betore J ustice
Barwick. who held the woman in
$500 bail for court, Stephen Rhawn
became her surety.
It is said the woman has made a
laree amount of money in her ne
farious business. She sports an
automobile which she uses largely
for advertising purposes.
The case will probably be tried
next week.
