All Traffic on tho Electric Rail way Suspotjdod TJnnblo to Clear tho Tracks. Sim effects of tho hoivy snow storm of Monday night nrnl Tucsilaj are Btlll felt throughout this region and tralllo on all tho railways is more or less impalid. The condition of tho mountain routes of the Lehigh Vnlloy Hallroads was such that trains of two cars 011 tho lino between this town and Shamokin required two engines. Tho people who visited Shiimokln from this and tho Luzt-rno sections had a liuid tlmo getting homo. A Mahanoy City party which should have passed through hero at 10: -3 was vcty Into and it was afier three o'clock this morning when tho party reached its destination. A singing party belonging to EdwardsvUlo also hail a tedium Journey homo from Sliaiuokin. Tho road between Delano ami Ilazlcton was in such a bad condition it was necessary to run tho train by way of I'eiin Haven.,, An engine nt Ashland was cab high in a drift last evening. The drifts on tho Ifazlcton routo were tremendous mid five engines were blockaded on tho lino. The effects of tho storm have staggered trafUc in this town and it will rcqulro con siderable, work to put iho streets in condition again. Traillcon tho Schuylkill Traction Com pany's lines wag completely crippled and no ears were ran after midnight on Monday Repeated efforts were mado to clear tho tracks hut tho pales drifted tho snow back again and it was decided to withdraw tho shoveleis and sweepers. Business in town was almost entirely sus' ponded yesterday and tho only busihora men who had any custom wcro tho gum boot and snow shovel deulers. A harvest was reaped on these articles. Tho hhtcls and saloons, which coin money on a holiday, especially when parados are announced and tho weather is cold, had hardly any customers. The storm not onlj prevented tho incoming of visitors, but also necessitated an abandonment of all arrange ments for tho parade and only pcoplo who wero obliged to leave their homes did so. One man who ventured a visit to town said our streets looked as if thoy had been struck liy a baby blizzard from tho West. A sleighing party from town was halted near Win, 1'enn by a drift high enough to bo tunneled and a trip back was necessary. Teamsters find considerable difficulty in getting through tho streets. Yesterday afternoon a beer delivery sleigh was capsized 1111 Main street and this morning a horso be longing to tho Shenandoah Beef Company dropped into a holo covered by snow and had somo dilllculty in getting out of tho place. A gang was put to work again this after noon to clear tho electric railway tracks of snow and tho work progressed so favorably that by two o'clock tho line was again in operation. A Line or Two, Lookout for a big froshct now. When tho thaw cornea look out. Tho country roads are badly drifted. A1J flat Tool's should bo cleared of snow. Railroaders complained of haul work yos terday. Tho shovol brigade was out In full forco yosterday. The people who delight iu sleighing think tho last full of snow was too much of a good thing. It was reported there was a case of small pox in town, but we wero unablo to trace Its origin. The only thing that keeps up its pace despite the storm is tho Herald's teachers' coutest. It was not pleasant to bo traveling on the railroads yosterday. Tho trains wero all dolaycd. Scarlet fover prevails Iu town but tho or dinance passed by Council on the subject is a dead letter. Don't, for a moment, forget to voto for your favorite teacher. Wo expect to make the contest more Interesting shortly. If some of tho idlo men would shoulder a snow shovol they could make a dollar or two a day clearing snow from the pavements. I wish that spring would como again, with Its ethereal balm, its babbling brooks, its budding flowers and twilights cool and calm. I want to hear the robins 6ing, and in tho mornings fair, ariso before the sun is up and scent tho porfumed air. I want to breakfast ere I dlo on fresh-laid poultry fruit, that does not cost enough to buy a Keeley Institute. Hut bet of all that fond anticipation calls to mind my listening ear is waitlsg for tho street hand organ's grind. Isittruo?

Ono of tho onvclopos received yosterday, in addition to a considerable number of cou pons, contained .1 letter from a teacher, whoso name has appeared in every printed list. Tho letter is so evidently a typical resume of tho experiences of popular teachers that 11 liberal quotation fiom it is given. As the teucher did not expiessly say the letter was for publication, tho Contest Editor does not feel at liberty to give either her 11111110 or the nanio of her school. Tho most inlercstiug portions of tho letter follow: When the IlBltAU) llrst made known It It - tnlloE to semi public tctiuol touchers to the World's Fair, a trknd of mine said : "Lot ae use your name r" M' repiy whs: "What's the use ? I couldn't got It" "Hut wo can try," said the friend. I havo always nad profound respect for the lllllo word of throe letters, so I also said : "Yos, wo can try " The first tew circles around tbe arena were easily made, lew contestan a entering l'ssibly they wore waiting to judge of the strength of the nudnnlous first. One by ono other competitors stepped in, ond I was beginning to feel vory insignificant in my huinblo position, when I eamo from school one noon to llnd with the mall upon my writing taoie a letter bearing tho postmark of a neighboring town. I brolic the seal and drew out a bunch of coupons nnd this note : "Miss , please accept thoie coupons Yours with Buccess." And it was the sarao day, I think, that a Ht- th' girl came to my door at recoss and sa d with a pretty accent and Interest gleaming In her big black eyes, "Hero nro somo votos for you. Wo take tho IIkuai.d and you thall have every one." I seemed row fairly entered lor the race. Friends wcro working lor me, and strangers wcro becoming interested in my suc cess. Votes began to corao from most unexpected sources. Hometlmos they wero low. like tho U.v-he8 of a coming storm: again they avalanched themselves upon me. Wo sometimes feel that what is said and written about tho love one has for natl?esoll Is moro gush than anything else, but this con tost is surely proving to the contrary. How often wo hear middle-aged peoplo say regarding that reliablo old cough remedy, N. H. Downs' Elixir: "Why, my mother gave it to 1110 when I was a child, aud I use it In my family; It always cures." It is always guaranteed to cuie or money refunded. In Daniel A. Kelly. Daniel A.

HOME INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY Hints That the Opportunity Will be Put Within Reach of tho Pcoplo Vory Soon Will tho People Act ? ISIIING for news to day tho Hei:ai,d re porters were given a quiet tip Hint within a short tlmo tho enter prising schemes which the paper hinted at a few weeks ago aud which wore looked upon as political bluffs In behalf of Candidate Finney will dovolop to a surprising degree. It is conceded 011 all sides that the present yoav will no doubt develop enterprising In creases which few of the citizens have dreamed of. Whal thoy will bo, or to what extent thoy will enhance the general wolfare of tho town, nothing definite cm bo learned, but it is as certain as tho fuct that the spilng election has passed that propositions will be mado to tho people that will arouse confidence 011 all sides in tho future of tho town. Who. her or not it cmiuates from tho same source that prompted the progressive articles in tho IIwtAM) of a few weeks ago is tiot known, but It is known that within the pait twenty-four hours a movement has beou mado to put some of tho piojects hinted at by the Herald under way. 'loput them on a plane of operation tho foresight and In tolligcnco of tho pcoplo will bo appealed to. and nil factional Issues will bo entirely dUre gartlcd. A prominent gentleman of town stated to day that within a very brief period a project that givo ovory prom so of popular favor will bo put before tho people and ample opportunity will bo give tho public to tnko an interest in it. Should tho business instincts of somo poople remain as blunt as thoy have been in tho post an attempt will then be made to Invoko the aid of outside people, Certain it is that tho majurity of the peoplo are anxious for somo plan by which tho distress consequent to the poor working time at the collieries may bo relieved. There are parties in town who believe thoy can relieve the strain. The confirmation of that belief depends upon tho foresight and energy of those who will be most beneiltted by the plans now in courso of piepuration. UNION MEETING. Tim I'. 1). S. ot A.
