HE WAS A LOVKROF CHRISTMAS.
Trtbnte te Dr. HUtbeeTbr Mr. MeCas-
key. At the Christmas Entertata-
meat or the Htsh schools.
At the Christmas exercises or the high
schools Principal McCaskey dcllvored the
following address:
I want te Ulkwlth yen a little while of
a man whose presence was familiar te you
all; a man who loved the Chrlstmastide;
the pervading atmosphere of whose life
was the Christmas spirit that finds Its
highest enjoyment In helping ethers, and
especially tnese who need help; s man
who was himself beyond question, as I
think, mere universally beloved through
out the length and breadth of tela bread
commonwealth than any elber man In
Pennsylvania nor Is there any ether In
whose death would be experienced such
wide-spread feeling of personal less. This
results the man being capable or arous
ing such reeling of personal affection
from the peculiar relation which he bore
te the tens of thousands of teachers, super
intendents, directors, and frieuda of edu
cation throughout the state.
He met all the leaders of enr educational
work In all their varied fields or labor, and
every where he Impressed them as a man
of unusual type and or extraordinary at
tainments: he came Inte contact, upon the
institute platform and otherwise, with all
Uie teachers of their respective counties and
of all the cltles of the commonwealth, with
the single oxccptlen of Philadelphia;
looked into their eyes, addressed their
Intelligence. Impressed their hearts, re
vealing a deeper purpose In their work
and constantly challenging their attention
te the transcendent Importance, from Its
spiritual blde, of the relation between
teacher and pupil: he spoke te directors
everywhere, te cltlxens overy where: he
led in prayer anywhere, everywhere,
for Divine aid and guidance; he
preached with ringing utterance from
many a pulpit, and from many a platrerm
that was net a pulpit, tbe unfailing gospel
or righteousness! with the pen of the editor
and In his official papers, he addressed the
school men or the state constantly and with
all the power pt a master purpose; until
men and women who came under the spell
of his intense personality overywhoro rec
ognized in him an educator of the first
rank, a man or ine purest ana umt iypa;
helpful te the uttermost, generous te a
fault. And knowing him thus, they came
te trust him, te love him because of that
self same Christian spirit which was the
animating. Informing spirit both of his
efllcial and private life.
My deer old frlend, Dr. HIgbeet One
week age te-day I steed beside lib) open
grave in Mountain View cemetery, at
Emmitsbitrg, Maryland, an attract ine spot
te which In his frequent visits te this little
town among the hills where llve seme of
the friends he loved best ou earth he
would often resort for the varied beauty of
the landscape end that Invigoretion of soul
which cemes from the " strength or the
hills." We saw the walls or his tomb
rising somewhat above tlie celli n lid,
cevered with bread slabs or native lime
stone rock te form the reef of that low
chamber in which his mortal remains may
mat nnnrt from ether earth for a thousand
years, and turned away te soe that loved
foce no mere en earth in any light save
that of memory. , ,
With ethers, and alone, I had steed be
elde his cetlln again and again, as he lay in
quiet sleep from which It seemed a touch
might wake him, and tears were stayed,
for the peaceful calm or the sleeper had
diffused itself te theso about him in death,
as it has done in life. I saw in this do de
llghtful home of his young manhood
wTilther he always went back with glad
heart te a warm welcome and In the com
munity around, the abiding reverence
which leve inspires, I knew again the en
during value of a neble Christian lire; and
came away from Emmltsburg with a feel
ing that I had been permitted te te id
anntlinr rlinntnr nf fascfnatinir Interest In
the life orthe most remarkable man it has
ever been my prlvllege te knew en terms
orcleso personal intimacy. "In this room,"
said one It was a spacious parlor with all
the appointments et comfort, taste and ele-
Sance " we had our Christmas troe for a
ozen successive years, and Dr. Higbee
was always the flfe of our party." It
seomed as irhls genial presence still por per por
vaded the place perhaps It did, who can
tell ? though his mortal form lay in the
silent majesty ordeath in a room upon tlie
same fleer, Just beyond the bread hellway
of the house
Christmas day la a birth day and why
de I speak of death at Christmas time T
Well, I think of death very pleasantly.
and take pleasure tee in knowing and
thinking of poeplo llke Dr. Higbee, who
reganl it as only another birth day into
ttie llle immortal, aiiu ur. ingueH we uu
knew se well I Yeu have heard him speak
from this spot ; you have seen him and
onjeyod him here, and that enjoyment was
mutual, for he has been glad te be here.
Besides ether reasons, he had an especial
Interest in tlie school where he had ence
taught. He came and went as ir et home
here. He lea the school in 1854, after ene
year's servlce as teacher; and I romember
wen ine morning in lesi, iweiiiy-.evuu
years later, when, after appointment te his
lateefllce, Mr. Hensel brought blm in te
Intreduce him te one of his old pupils.
We had both changed se much In the in
terval that otherwlse we would hardly
have recegnlzsd each ether. The last titne
lie was here was en a friendly errand, te
glve me a book that he had brought from
Euimitsburg, containing seme iimsie of
which he had spoken, and which he knew
I wished te soe.
He has uet been at any of our Christmrs
entertainments, but he has told me hew he
has wished te be with us, for your singing
and our instrumental music always gave
him much measure. But veur Arber Day
entertainments he especially enjoyed. On
this spot he inaugurated the tlrst Arber
Day observance with a formal paper, en
titled "Arber Day with the Children." He
lW-ixl te bee this dav observed ten times.
and te knew of hundreds of thousands or
irees pianiuu, uwuunu in uu uppunmncii.,
which is uet tlie least or his many geed
works.
But the kindly prosenco that we knew se
well we will see no mere; tlie voiee is
liushed that speke se cheerily its " Christ
mas all year long, " emphasizing It all the
mere at the happy Cliristniastlde, Let us,
llke him, fellow the Star with tlie Wise
Men, through darkseme night and desert
way, until It staud ever the manager or
A . - . 1 .1 1. .--.-.-. A Itfi nhltrttrtllltAlll
Bethlehem, and, onterlng with them, in
reverent adoration lay our host treasure as
gifts at the feet or the Child. With the
shephenls en the Judean hillside, we, like
him, may hear the angel voice proclaim its
message te tlie listening earth, may hear
sweet angel voices resound the matchless
song of "peace en earth, geed-will te
men"; witli him may hear the musle of
their harps celestial, and soe the wondrous
light that else hath never been ou earthly
sea or shore.
Christmas was a holiday and a holy day
te him. We romembor hew some years
since he discouraged the holding of the
county Institutes during this week, many
or mem Having neon apisiuiieu iur um
time. At his wish ethor dates were there
iiinr minnlntisl. he that Christmas week
might again be given back te church and
home as thelr chief festival occasion.
But I have talked tee long. Iet me om em
phaslze this thought, once mere Illustrated
In the eminently successful life of Dr.
lligbee: The only life worth living is a
life of goodness, with every energy of
mind and heart trained and directed te
this sole end or human existence; and tbe
only perfect ideal after w hlch such life may
lie lived is that of Him he was born at
Bethlehem, the world belloves, en Christ
mas Day se long age.
Speaking for Dr. Hlghee, then, as wen
as ler myself for I um glad te believe
that we are still iu quick sympathy In all
things glad and geed I wish you, with all
my heart, a Merry Christmas and a Happy

On Thursday the cicatrical execution
machines at Sing Sing prison Were tested
by a coiiiinittee of electricians for the statu
of New Yerk., The tests showed that the
dynamos were even mere deadly than
had been represented. When run at less
than their ordinary mimlier of revolutions
per minute, the electrical pressure was
found te exceed 1,000 volts Instead of being
only 1,000. This proves that about Seu

QUAY AIDING THE DEMOCRACY.
A Warren County Man's Vlew or the
Political situation In the State.
Frem the New Yerk Btar,
Jehn Lawrence, a prominent Democrat
fro.m.wIm,.ceunty v-i 1" ihe cllv
with his family, spending the holidays. 1
met him at an uptown hotel last night,
and In a conversation we had about politi
cal matters In the Keystone state he told
me seme interesting facts concerning the
situation.
"Senater Qnay," he said, "la materially
aiding the Demecrats ever there, and If he
Is spared and retains his present character
istics and methods for anether year I think
he will tiiske our tight. He Is dctermlned
te force the candidacy or Dolamater for
governor upon the Republicans, and If he
does It will be, what the Felger campaign
was In this state In '82. Dolamater Is a
shrewd, crafty young politician, whom the
Standard OU poeplo would like te see
olected, but he Is highly dlstateful
te the peonle In the oil country
or Western and Nerthwestern Penn
sylvania, because or his tinderhanded
opposition te the Illlllngsley bill, a
perfectly fair measure or relief which the
independent oil producers or the state tried
te put through against the Standard, but
which was lest. IIe will be onnesmi bv
Chris Mageo and his big following rrem
Allegheny county and several ethor sec
tions or the state, Inxuiuse they will net
wear Quay's cellar. Congressman Dalzell,
though a loyal Republlcan, will net sup
port Dclamatnr. Congressman Culbertsen,
of Erle, lias thrown elf the cellar. James
McDevltl, of Ijuicaster, Is with Mageo
always, and MoManei and a big ganger
Philadelphia Republicans refusa te recog
nize the Beaver county statesman as dicta
tor. " Every ene of them will be against Del Del Dol
amaeor In the convention and In the Held,
for Quay la pledged te nominate him,
and It would be a werse defeat te net nom
inate him new ilL-.n te have him beaten.
The opposition will stand ler Adjutant
Gcneral Hastings, a big, goedumturod fol fel
low, with considerable jiersenal popularity,
but uet a very strong man Klttlcally. Tho
ught between these poeplo is se bitter
owing te Quay's hlgh-liandel dictatorship
shown in a hundred Instances, that they
will knlfe the senator's candidate, no
matter whom he tuny be. I don't knew
who the Domecratlo candidate will be, but
with a strong man we can de next year
what we did In '82 unless Quay bends, and
he is net ene or the bending kind. The
next eloctlen in Pennsylvania is going te
surprise poeplo as much as Ohie and Iowa
did In the last."
FIENDIHH WORK.
Alleged Attempts te Wroek Trains en
the Narrlstewn Railroad.
Frem the Philadelphia Ledger,
As the 41:33 train for Norristown rrem
Ninth and Green streets, en Wednesday
night, was running at an unusually slew
rate botween the Fall and Scheel Lane
stations or the Norristown branch or the
Philadelphia it Reading rallraad, Engineer
Irvln Sterly discerned an obstruction en
the track a short distance alipad.audatonce
reversed the engiue and applled the air
brakes, bringing the onglne te a step when
within a few feet efa railroad tie that had
been placed across the tracks, one end or
which was securely fastened te ene of the
rails. The engineer and his fireman and
conductor, E. McEwcn, had dllllculty in
removing the tie. The place where the
obstruction was found ou the track was
alKiut half way betwoeu the two stations.
The train was made up or in cars, nil
crowded with poeplo returning te thelr
homes from the city. The number is esti
mated at about 1,100. Had the train been
running at tlie usual spoed, It Is thought It
would liave been wrecked and many lives
lest.
When (he 12:15 train, Conductor Charles
Wofllnger, for Norristown, was lu about
the same location, the engineer discovered
a tie en tlie track, but was unable te step
befere his engine had knecked It from the
rail. It had only been laid across the
tracks and net fastened down.
A short distance above, whero the ties
were found, Is a siding leading into Powers
A' Welglitman's laboratory. J fore another
attempt At train-wrecking Is said te have
been made, by breaking tlie switch lock,
opening the switch and filling the spuce be
tween tlie rails with dirt and stones, which
liatl te be dug out with a nick before the
switch could be closed. Tlie open switch
was dlscoverod yuvterday morning by the
ongiucer or tlie &:uu train from norristewn,
Dr. Illgbee's Suocessor,
from the Scrantuu Ilvptibllcuu.
it Is evident that thorn Is, going te be a
lively contest for the vacancy caused by
the deatli or Dr. Hlghee In the efilce or
superintendent or public Instruction. The
candidates are multiplying and their re
spective friends are already beginning te
besioge tlie govorner. A dozen county
superintendents are already In the field
and the number will be mere then doubled
within a woek If the appointment be net
made befere the expiration of that tlme.
Perhaps the wisest course for the govorner
te pursue would butoquletly muke a selec
tion en his own account. Tlie olllce rises
sofarabevo mere political considerations
that the govorner will rertalnly net listen
te any suggestions relatlve te making an
oppeintinont en the ground or party ad
vantage. A thorough educator, a man or
practical common sense views, ene who Is
conversant with our system or public ed
ucation, and withal a frlend of that system,
should be called te the olllce of superlnteu-
nut or immic instruction. x'ie govorner

A .Jealous Husband's Crime.
Further particulars as te the tragedy at
Larchwood, Iowa, In which Dr. Abel Mun

Tuesday Munree was arrested for threat

At the same tlme hu drew a revolt or and

and lie followed, placed the revolver te her

She then ran outdoors, und he fired two

He watched his wife until she fell and
