Tbe play given by the town tal
ent in the School Hall on last Fri

faculty deserves much praise for the
work they have done in this direction.

Influenza, or the Grippe, and
Pueumooia have made their appear
ance in this place. Quite a number
re down, some serious. Tbe latter
disease has assumed a somewhat dif
ferent form from former years. Its
point of attack is generally the throat
and lungs. Great cure is needed as
this has proved lo be a more serious
disease tbau the people somtimes iro
agine. Another instance of the folly of
American girl purchasing a titled
husband has recently come to light.
Ten years ago Miss Hungerford,

A very sad accident occurred
near East Hickory on Thanksgiving
Day. William Uerrington, son of
George Uerrington. deceased.
while out hunting had the misfortune
to lose part of his hand and arm by
the bursting of his gun. He was
hunting iquirrels and it seems that
the gun was too heavily loaded. His
arm was terribly larcerated and be
will piobably lose the use of it.
Congressman-at-large, Gen. Wil
liam Lilly, died at his home in
Mauch Chunk, Pa., very suddenly on
last Friday of congestion of tbe
lungs. The vacancy caused by his
death will not probably be filled be
fore the February election. Gen.
Lilly was elected in November 1892.
and was 72 years old. Since writing
the above we notice Governor Patti-
son has fixed tbe above named date
as the time for electing a successor to
General Lilly.
Judge McPherson, of Lebanon
county took occasion to say in court
tbe otber day upon the refusal of a
witness lo kiss tbe bible before taking
his seat upon the witness box: "I
don't blame anyone for not kissing
that hook which everyone bas been
handling, and I am very glad you
have given me an opportunity to re
fer to this matter, for on taking an
oath it is a mistaken idea that tbe
bible must be kissed, and I hope a re
form will be made so that hereafter
oaths will be taken by the uplifted
hand."
Tbe editor of this paper is sick
this week, very sick. In fact life
seems to have lost its charms. He is
one big ache from the crown of his
bead to the soles of bis feet. He die
claims all responsibility for this issue
of the paper aod orders that we may
say he has the Grippe but to spell it
with a big "G," and put the ending
"pe" to it. Nothing less will express
it satisfactorily and even this is not
complete without an occasional
groan. He hopes to oversee next
weeks issue himself when he can cor
rect any heterodox tendencies that
may occur in this.
Smallpox is becoming epidemic
in many places. It would be well to
take preventive measures in time to
avoid tbe scourge. Many have been
vacinated so long ago that tbey could
scarcely expect it to be effective now.
Some and especially children have
never been vacinated. Wbile there
is no immediate cause for alarm it
certainly would be wise to make all
possible preparation for it if it should
come. In these days when so much
traveling is done there is always a
possibility of its being brought here.
It is useless to repair the walls when
once the enemy has entered the gates.
A gentleman who owns a fine
horse sends him out to be traioed
He frequently goes out to see what
progress be is making and to note if
bis traioer i doing his work proper
ly. Should parents who have chil
dren they send to school to be trained
for life's work show less interest in
them thau a man does in bis horse?
It is strange how seldom parents,
names are found in the school visitors
list. Even Director and Trustees
who have the duty of hiring teachers
are often very late in this. It should
not be. If you want good schools
visit tbem often. Good teachers wel
come visitors. Parents can then
have an opportunity to tee hw their
childreu are being: traioed and Direc
tors can determine wbic-h teacher
ought to be retained.

SEWSY NOTES.
In this state soiling of adulterated ar
ticles of food Is a misdemeanor, and the
offender may be fined 100 or imprisoned
for six months or both. If this law was
enforced there would be a big revenue
collected, as It la an undeniable fact that
a large proportion of what we eat and
drink la adulterated.
Five men attempted to rob John Arner
of Rlmbrsburg a few nights since. Tbey

A great many people who can recol
lect when 2:40 was tbe gilt edge speed for
a trotting horse will be surprised to know
that during the year 1893 three thousand
new horses beat the 2:30. Two hundred
and twenty-three newcomers made rec
ords below 2:20. Sixty-three new ones
got below 2:15. Last year there was but
twelve on the 2:10 or better list. This
season raised the number to twenty-two.
A horse that cannot beat 2:15 now is a
very ordinary animal. With 2:04 as the
record two minutes is now the ambition.

their willingness in giving sums of mon

to be without a bouse ok" prayer is cer

HalowcV-n at Indiana State Normal.
The following letter, descriptive of an
enteatainment given at the Indiana, Pa.,
Normal School, we publish this week be
lieving It will be interesting to many of
our readers, as showing how a visit to
the great Fair can be indulged in by
those who could not go to Chicago. The
letter is by Miss Nannie Morrow, of this
place who is now a member of the senior
class In that school.
A most delightful evening was spont
at Indiana State Normal School, October
30, 1893. Through tho characteristic
kindness of the faculty, arrangements
were made some two weeks before to cel
ebrate Hallowe'en by a reproduction of
the World's Fair. This called for the as
sistance of many of the students. Each
worked hard to make it the most en
joyable event iln the history of the
school, and their efforts were crowned
with success.
According to the anouncemcnt the
gates were opened st 7:30 o'clock, and im
mediately the quietness and dignity
which prevail in the hall and classrooms
was transformed into merry laughter
cozy and pleasant resorts and the
crowded thoroughfares of the White
City.
How quickly the news had spread ! As
soon as we could get there Midway was
crowded with strange looking people
from all parts of the world In their native
costumes. Some were being carried to
and fro in their somewhat Americanized
sedans, and the alah, alah, lab, lab, gave
warning to any one in tbe way.
We proceeded at once to the "Transpor
tation Building." Here a series uf as
tonishing inventions of the last great
century was displayed. There were all
sizes and descriptions of conveyances
from "The carrirgo iu which Miss Leon
ard first came to Normal," down to the
elevated R. R. (a toy Railroad strung up
to the wall), and a section of a sleeping
car (a bed with a screen around it.)
We spent some time there and still in
our astonishment we would ask, "what
nextT"
The Art Department displayed no
small amount of skill and ingenuity on
the part of the committee in their choice
of paintings and engravings. Something
was there to appeal to the finer feelings
and sensibilities of every visitor. Much
of the history of our country was to be
gleaned from these object lessons. In
our imagination we could see the sturdy
young man who endured tbe hardships
of "The Pioneer," (a piece of pie on an
ear of corn) in our primitive forests to
make a home for his "Sweet-heart Actoss
the Sea," (a candy heart across the letter
"C".) "Boston by Moonlight" recalled
to the mind how a crude foundation stone
of Union had developed into the "hub of
the universe," (A hub with a burning
caudle in it.) And the sad and pathetic
tale of the trials and sufferings of those
who won for us or glorious liberty in '70
and of thoso, who, in '61-05 endured
many hardships that the shackels might
fall off the hands and feet of millions,
was read in "Mustered In and Mustered
Out," 'Mustered in and out.) Our time
was short so we hurried on to the head'
quarters of the Turks. We were conduc'
ted through a narrow winding street to a
place where we found the on;y true
Turk(ey) that was on exhibition.
Just across the way was the merry Ir
ish Vllliage where we were greeted very
cordially by Pat who insisted that we
"climb the winding stairs an kiss the
'blarney-stone' on Blarney Cantle, and
forever after have good luck." There
we saw all tbe convenience of an Irish
kitchen, could get a good drink of butter-milk
and kiss the pig just outside the
door for the small sum of tcu ceuts
which we declined.
The next place of interest was the
"Ferris Wheel" which did credit to the
inventor. It was much enjoyed by
young men and maidens from every
country, either for its ease or the pictur
esque scenery of the blackboard.
Happy gypsy lassies were seeu every
where and many of the visitors availed
themselves of au opportunity to have the
mystic vail drawn aside and to catch a
glimpse oi the future. Each seemed
well pleased and we suppose the ditlicult
lessons of the future ami the late
proceedings of the Senate will transform
themselves into beautiful dreams.
One of tbe most enjoyable features of
the evening was the parade headed by
Uncle Sam and Aunt Columbia whose
grace and dignity did Justice to the occa
sion. They were lull wed by people of
all sorts and descriptions, society leaders
of 'ye olden time' ; high born Japanese
women; Sisters of Charity; Germans;
rudy Irishmen and their families ; horri
ble Zulus ; Arabians, Turks aud Indians.
There were the well known Mr. and Mrs.
Johnson and fumily (colored), Mr. and
Mrs. Hayseed who were continually
tiadiug fault with each other and who
were always getting ahead of one anoth
er, and the old maid with corkscrew
curls who Is afraid of everything, etc.
After the parade, Midway was thronged
and the police had all they could do to
manage tho bootblacks, the tramps and
the pickpockets.
How strange it did seem that iu that
vast assemblage there was not one per
son from the strong and powerful nations
of tho earth, the depth of Africa, aud the
isles of the sea who could read the sign,
"Ice Cream," aud still more wonderful
that the people from different parts ot
the earth could talk together most fluent

panese tea rooms we left the White C'ity
taking with us a well tilled page in the
volume of our memory of our school
life, that will be read with pleasure in
