NEW PUBLIG SCHOOL BUILDING.
Steps Taken to Mako a Struoturo

and Vontllatlon aro Con
corned.
Tb expected that the
now school building
which is to bo erected'
at the rcarof tho school
building corner of Cen
tro nd West stxeota
will cost betweon $.10,
000 and $12,000, Theso
llgnroa may seem a little high to some, hut
thcro is . sentiment in the School Board that
while they havo the. Work In hand they may
as well do it well and givo the public school
servico a building that -will bear criticism and
will not require repairs and alterations from
time to tlmo.
The architect has ooinplctcd his drawings
upon the plans suggested bySuporiutontlont
Freeman and adopted by tbo board. They
call for a six room frame structure fte bo
built entirely independent of tlio brick
building now on the lot. Tho cost -of the
building itself wiU bo about $9,000. Tho
balanco of tho estinuto stated abovo will be
expended in giving tho structure the best
Byetem for heating and ventilation that can
be secured.
The latter subject has been givon special
attention by the school directors of late,
Uhey say that it is easy enough to have tho
schools properly heated, but the real troublo
is a proper method of ventilation. The great
complaint by teachers in tho past has bcon
that thoy and their pupils havo been between
two fires. When not made dull and drowsy
by heat, dralts from open windows threatened
them. On Monday last Directors A. JGalla
gher, Frank Ilanna, Michael Brennan and
Mark Burke visited the public schools of
Wllkos-Barro and Plymouth and Inspected
an improved system of heating and ventila
tion in vogue thcro. Thoy wero vory fa.
vorably impressed with tho systems and It is
understood they will recommend the intro
duction of one of them in the new building,
In fact tho companies controlling tho sys
terns havo copies of tho architect's jplans and
aro preparing to discuss tho matter at tho
special meeting of the School Board to
morrow night.

THE WORLD'S FAIR.
The War Department's section of tho Col
umbian Exposition is a magnificent setting
forth of everything pertaining to "pride,
pomp and glory." Every species of arm
from tho Continental musket to a 52-ton riflo
cannon aro here, and tho most approved
methods of slaughtering ono's fellows have
their complctcst manifestation. Tho girders
are gay with tho Hags of every branch of tho
service, and there are caissons, ambulances
and artillery and army wagons by tho scoro,
To round out tho scene a sort of military
"Mrs. Jarloy's Wax Works" shows drivers
belaboring refractory mules, companies o
infantry and troops of cavalry all clad in
brand new uniforms of tho latest regulation
style. Just now theso latter glories are
hidden' by black cloaks and hoods, com1
plctely concealing tho forms and faces of tho
figures and as one looks upon a ghostly com
pany of cavalry it calls to mind tho headless
horseman before whom Ichabod Crane fled,
waking tho echoes of Sleopy Hollow In his
headlong flight.
Not brilliant, but truly representative of
the progress of mankind and civilization, is
tho Patent Office display in tho Interior
Department. Hero is an immense collection
of models of all tho wonderful machines that
America's inventive ingenuity has brought
into being to lighten tho labors and increase
the productive capacity of man. From their
inception to their present perfection, are
shown theso marvolous types of brain in
materia! form and experience that do tho
world's work with a swiftness superior to
that of tho strongest and most skillful hand.

Editob Herald : By persistent effort on
tho part of a few, tho base ball spirit has
been sent a rolling much to the desire of tho
many and will continuo in motion 'till tho
wind up of tho season of '03. Every incen
tive has been given to tho promoters of tho
movement of organizing and sustaining a

earnest appeals of the Herald has had the
desired effect in arousing new energy all

The leaso of tho park has been obtained
under trying difllculties for the remainder of
the year. A governing board of thirteen
directors has been appointed to advise,
direct and manage tho club on a business
like basis. Lack of confidence in the man
agement of a team has always been a draw
back to those interested in tho game, but
from now on you can pin your faith to the
honesty of tho now undertaking and look
for nothing save a first class club. Work at
tho park will begin as soon as the weathor
permits. Many Improvements will be mado
to make it a point of comfort for those de
siring to view with interest the exciting
uncertainties of the national game. S.

Old People.
A correspondent writes us " What shall be
done with our old people t" Why, take tho
best care of them, and do everything you can
to make them liappy. Old age is a heavy
burden at the best, and wo should lighten it
by overy means at our command. This is
the only true Christian doctrine and the
rising generation should be taught its
practice. Another thing suggests itself in
this connection and that is, what to do with
the fast young men who are overtaking an
"Innocuous desuetude" before their timet
This is, indeed, a problem for the wisdom of
this age of advanced and advancing civiliza
tion. There is ono thing wo wish to put into
the cars and minds of tho boys of to-day :
He who shuns the teudoncy to fast llfo and
builds a solid foundation of character and
education with a body unimpaired by dis
sipation or oxcesj will be in command of tho
opportunities of tho futuro. The woak and
weary youth, will be left behind in the race.

What Ho Sees and Hears During III

Soino peoplo can't understand the schedule
of rates which has bcon fixed for tho oloctric
railway lino running from Mahauoy Cltylto
Locust Dalo. The rates fixed is fivo cents
from Mahanoy City and Intermediate points
to Mahanoy Piano and fivo cents from that
rlaco to Locust Dalo and intermediate points.
I was a passongor on a car yesterday whlcll
was boarded at St. Nicholas by a number of
peoplo bound for Girardvlllo. Thoy pahVflvo
cents each. Whon tho conductor mado it
second collection of faro at Mahanoy Piano
thcro was an uproar, but ovoryhody paid.
Ono beardless young man who evidently
considered hlmsolf of somo importance said,
If I had tho timo I would not pay this extra.
fivo conts, but would contest the caso and.
mako tho company look ovor its charter. It
only calls for fivo conts from Mahauoy City
to Glrardvillo." Somo of tho passengers
joined tho conductor in a hearty laugh over
this little, speech and a grin spread across tho
faco of tho indicator.
The borough officials of Mahanoy City aro
emulating tho oxamplo sot by Supervisor
Llewellyn by having the mud scraped in
heaps on tho streets and carted away. One.
thing Mahanoy City boast of, its alleys aro.

A Hungarian miner was observed walking
along the Lehigh railroad oarly yesterday'
morning on his way to work and consider
ably under tho influence of drink. Some
miners who saw tho man took a view of tho
matter that makes it worthy of more than
passing notice Thoy said that if drunken
workmen goes to tho top of a slope or shaft
ho stands apoor chance of getting down into
the mines, but they aro frequently smart
onough to avoid tho officials by going down
somo of the manways on the outskirts.
This is a danger which may ultimately re
quire decisive stops to exterminate. A man
who will enter a mine in an Intoxicated con
dition deserves the severest punishment.
His own llfo may not count for much, but it
is chilling when ono thinks of the many
pther lives he endanger:,
The following is the substance 'of a letter
