Northumberland Press. Col. George E. Waring, Jr.. con tributes to McUlure's Magazine for September an article on "The Clean ing of a Great City" that to readers who have not carefully considered the subject will be simply a revela tion. Reciting the story of his own experience as Commissioner of Street-Cleaning in New York City during the last two years and a half, Col. Waring demonstrates that it is quite possible, at comparatively small cost, to keep the streets of a great city as clean and wholesome us a well- kept house. And so far-reaching its physical and moral effects does he show the publio cleanliness of a city to be, that it should seem that the most immediate means of mak ing a signal reduction of misery and crime in any city is a general im provement in its street-claning. The article is illustrated with special drawings showing the different op erations in improved street cleaning. 1.L IV say out :tfconsor ilereaa- , . -. , lllO'Mi For Singer; an Effective (Jure Jor Cold.

I he New York School Election. In the state of New York, the school trustees, in the cities and many large towns, are appointed not elected. In the smaller towns and villages, where they are elected, men and women can vote on the same terms, that in, either must have the care of children utteudiug school, or pay school tuxes ou real estate or on personal property valued at $50.00. Thus only a small por tion of the meu of the state have the right of school suffrage. The election takes place ia a town meeting and not by the Australian ballot, aud the publicity has doubtless kept some women who are eligible from exercising the privilege. The township system as opposed to the district system has lately been recommended by Mr. Charles R. Skinner, State Superintendent of Publio Instruction. He will intro duce a bill in the next legislature providing for such a system. As the bill was originally prepared, it was so framed that women would be deprived of the right to vote for school trustees. Wherever this provision of the the proposed change ia the law be came known, much interest was shown by the women in the election on August 8rd. No official returns are made of this election, but news paper, reports and private letters indicate that a much larger vote was polled by women than ever be fore, and in many places it was fully as large as that polled by the men. In others more women than men voted, as at Warsaw where 79 women and 27 men voted and Lily Dale where there were 45 women and 22 men. In some places where women had never attended the school meeting, they appeared in good proportion, aud often elected a woman trustee. Ia Baldwin there was only one woman present and she nominated a woman for trustee. The sentiment of the place is ho strongly conservative that a number of women who wish ed to attend the meeting were pre vented from doing so by their hus bands' objections. Nevertheless the arguments presented with this noin ination appealed so favorably to the men present that the candidate was unanimously elected. The interest shown by the woman brought out a larger number of meu than usual in several places. Last year 10 votes were cast at the school election ia Randolph ; in the same district this year, tnere wore CI, or which 20 were cast by women. In Jamestown about 900 women voted out of a to tal of less than 2000. In Jericho Port Washington, South Stockton and Bnlleview an equal number of men and women voted. About half the vote were cast by women in East Lansing, Westbury, Medina, Sheerman, EUicott, Hamlet, Thorn ton and many other places. The Bchool election in New York this year has educated many women to see that it is both possible and desirable that they should take au active interest in school manage ment. It has increased the interest. It has also demonstrated that a large per cent of the women who are eligable wish to retain school suffrage. Won't Tobarre Spit sad Smoke Tour Mr Away.

Sentenced to the Northumberland County Jail. J. B. Spangler and P. E. Hacken burg, of Adamsburg, Snyder coun ty, were senteuced by the United States district court at Williams port Thursday to thirty days in the Northumberland couuty jail for con spiring to defraud and using the mails to further the scheme. The defendants inserted advertisement in newspapers culling for people to collect newspaper clippings at $o per 100. The applicants for position were to send 10 cents for blanks aud later were called upon for a second 10 cents, for which practically no re turn was giyen. The amount of money involved wasBinall but the principle was the same as in a class of cases the government was very desirous of breakiug up. Spongier was placed on trial and admitted having done whatVas charged, but contended that he had no inteution committing a wrong. Witnesses testified to his reputation in the community in which he lives. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty in manner and form as indicated. In the case of Hackenburg u plea of guilty was entered by S. B. Boyer, of this place, in behalf of his client. Sunbury Item. Died Suddenly. Hen.y J. App, who resided in this county until within the past ten years, and who while here was one of the best known young men in this end of the county, died suddenly at his brother's home near Berrys burg, in Dauphin county, last Thursday morning. He retired the night before, ap parently enjoying good health ; in the morning he was found dead near his bed where he evidently expired while in the act of making his toilet. It is evident that he becamo se riously ill early in Ihe morning and attempted to dress when ho was stiicktn with paralysis, death re sulting instantly. Harry was the youngest of four In others, who were all born and luised in Monroe township, near this place. The brothers who sur vive him are Francis, with whom the deceased made his home at the time cf his death ; J. G., of Lewis burg, and D. Norman, who resides at the old homestead in Monroe township.

Tho firm of Yearick & Decker, dealers in general merchandise, at McClure, were burned out for the second time on last Thursday night. The fire of iucendiary origin, was first discovered about 11:30 o'clock and had gained such headway that it was impossible to save any goods. Harry Wagner, who owned the building, had $400 known insurance on the same. Have not learned the amount of insurance on the stock. It looks very much as if McClure had one or more "fire bugs." This firm was burned out while in the Howell building, a few months ago. Adamsburg Herald.

If the Doctor hud given the poople iu ad vance an idea that ho was going to give them eoiue seusittijnal discovery about tho State Robbery buildings at Hurrisburg,, a largo crowd would have nBHembled. However Doctor Swallow drew u larger ciuwd than any other prohibitionist could in so small a county where somo thirty licensed houses do u business iu liquor.
