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.

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.

Sentenced to the Northumberland

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.

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.

Another Fire at McClure.
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.
