all the directors deserve credit for.
In the past two years by carefully
studying school matters and by the
judicious selection of Instructors they
have built up an institution of learn
ing which th'e town may well be proud
of and this year directors and parents
had the satisfaction of witnessing the
first graduation exercises of the For
est City graded school. Four pupils
were given diplomas and no doubt
the class of '98 will be much larger.
Such excellent work In every depart

entirely fitting to especially com

brought about a state of affairs so
satisfactory.

TO REVOLUTIONIZE MINING.
Compressed Air to llo Used Tor Drill
ing in the Mines.
Hazleton, Juno 23. Says the Stand
ard: A scheme that promises to revo
lutionize the now laborious task of coal
mining by reducing the slavery In con
nection therewith will be shortly In
troduced In some of the small hard
veins of tho South Side mines where
tho ablest and most Industrious work
men find It difficult to make a. living
owing to the solidity of the coal. This
new method proposes to utilize air for
drilling coal or rock Instead of human
power. A machine much tho same
shape as an air compressor will do the
business. One machine will be capable
of drilling as much as a dozen miners
and can be operated by one man.
The cost of such an arrangement for
a large mine such as the Audenried
would be from sixteen to eighteen hun
dred dollars, und not only could the
elastic fluid be used for coal cutting
purposes, but to ventilate the mine as
well. Tho Idea has been advanced by
a Lehigh and Wllkes-Barre official.
NO MORE MULES.
Air Power to Handle Cnrs in a Tun
nel ut I) lift on Colliery.
Hazleton, June 23. An Innovation in
the handling of mine cars Is about to
be introduced by Coxo Bros. &, Co. In
No. 2 colliery, Drlfton. One of the tun
nels pitches from five to six degrees
nnd at prsent It requires about thirty
mules to handle the cars. The services
of these much abused animals are to
be done away with and the cars are to
be moved by an air motor.
On the exterior of the mine a number
of air compressors are being placed in
position. These compressors will fur
nish air through tubings and operate
an air motor on the Interior of the mine.
The handling of cars In this manner Is
something new, nnd Drlfton will be the
first colliery to use the new device. If
this system of handling cars proves
satisfactory It will be Introduced at
other collieries operated by this firm.
TOO MANV Ol'KUAS.
Composers Have to l'ny to Get 'Em
Put On.
The fact, says the Sun, that a com
poser In this city Is to furnish the sum
of $4,000 to pay for one performance of
his opera Is an Indication of the diffi
culty which every composer of a ser
ious opera Is compelled to struggle
against whenever he tries to find an
opening for his work. The only op
portunity for the production of such
works is found In the apirances of
the two opera companies that have
sung here this year, and with the oc
casions so few there Is practically no
way whatever of securing the perfor
mance of a new work except by under
taking to guarantee the management
against loss.
Even then the experiment Is diffi
cult, as the production of a work by
the best of the Metropolitan sing
ers would be an undertaking too ex
pensive for any but the wealthiest
composer. The comic opera can cost
quite as much In Its way was shown
last year when a young composer Is
said to have lost about $30,000 on per
formances of an opera by him that
was heard for less than a month.
(JKK.IIANY'S CKOWX PJUNCE.
Ho is Little Hut He Alrondy Peels
His Importance.
Numbers of stories, most of them
silly, but a few amuplng ones among
them, are told of the little Crown
Prince of Germany. When his father
first ascended the throne, Prince Fred
erick Wllhelm's head was completely
turned by tho dizzy height of his new
position. The lives of his younger
brothers became a misery to them.
Then the emperor Intervened. For a
time tho Crown Prince's spirit was
humbled. A week later It broke out
afresh.
Driving one afternoon with' his gov
erness It suddenly entered the young
prince's mind that to sit alone on the
front seat was more becoming to tho
dignity of his position. With a per
emptory wUve of his hand he com

A Pike County Judgo Who Ordered n
Criminal to Get Out.
From tho New York Sun.
The comment in the Sun of last Sun
day on the action of Judge Hopper, of
Paterson, N. J., In banishing from the
state a person convicted of crime for
the term of two years, In lieu of sen
tencing him. to state prison, calls to
mind a still more peculiar sentence Im
posed on a negro who was convicted of
petit larceny In Pike county, Pa., near
ly fifty years ago. The Judge was
Daniel W. Dlngman, the grandson of
Andrew Dlngman, who came from
Duchess county, N. Y and was the
first setler at Dlngman Ferry, Pa.,
building a log cabin there In 1737. Judgo
Dlngman was tho first Judge of Pike
county, and continued In office from
1814 for twenty-six years. He frequent
ly appeared In court In his shirt sleeves
and barefooted.
His judicial methods wero original
and striking. A worthless negro, charg
ed with petit larceny, was brought be
fore him for sentence. The judge look
ed sternly at the culprit and said:
"Nigger, stand up. You are charged
nnd are guilty of tho crime of larceny.
You are a bad nigger. You ought to bo
hung, but the sentence, of this court
Is that you be banished from the face
of the earth. Gol get off the face of the
earth!"
"Why, massa," said the darky, "how
ken I git oft de face ob dls earth?"
"You can go," said Judge Dlngman,
"to Jersey. The sentence of this court
is that you have fifteen minutes to get
out of the county of Pike and Into the
state of New Jersey, and If you ever
come back we'll hang you."
It Is said when the constable opened
the court house door for the frightened
negro he struck a bee line for the Dela
ware river nnd swam to the New Jer
sey side and never trod on Pike county
soil thereafter.

Apropos to the passage of the Raines
bill a story Is told by the Buffalo Ex
press of one of the country legislators
who helped it through. The legislator
was !n New York recently for one of
the many purposes that so frequently
call legislators to the metropolis. A
city associate got together a party of
friends and undertook to show him the
sights about town. After seeing the
Eden Musee, the Central park mena
gerie and other objects which are sup
posed to Interest countrymen the city
member thought he would try an ex
periment and led his party Into 'the
Hoffman house barroom.
The country legislator did not realize
where he was going till he was safely
Inside and had been lined up to the bar
with Is companions.
"Now, then," said the guide, "what
are you going to have?"
The country legislator's face fell.
"What are the rest of you going to
have?" he asked.
"Never mind that." said the enter
tainer; "you Just name anything you
want. It Is my treat."
"What will It cost?" asked the man
from the country, dubiously.
"Any sum from 25 cent to $5," replied
the other. "Don't worry nbout the
cost."
"I'll tell you," said the countryman,
desperately, "I don't drink and don't
smoke, but If you'll excuse me this time
I'll get my boots blacked here."

Wnll Street Review.
New York, Juno 23. To-day was an
other day of marked strength In the
market for stocks, tho dealings being
largo and the buying demand keen, so
that the tendency of prices was strong

during the. day, tho latter on profit
taking for tho most part, but tho closo
of the day's trading found prices" gen
erally abovo last night's close. Tho
outside interest in the market shows
largo increases and commission houses
report a great accession of orders of a
speculative character following tho
solid Investment-buying that has been
going on for some time, and which to
day's developments indicate Is still
going on. Tho buylngwasalmostwholly
a result of the confidence in the genernl
outlook for business. The total sales of
