IMPORTANT SOHOOL POINT.
The Children of Old Soldiers Must ho
Admitted.
At the beginning of th" present school term
tho Mahanoy City School Hoard considered
the question of tho admittance of pupils from
ouUldo districts. Heretofore it has been
customary to admit pupils from out of tho
borough at certain fixed rates, but this year,
owing to tho crowded condition of tho schools,
it was decided not to admit pupils from out-
sido at all. This cut off somo pupils who had
been regularly attending tho schools for
sovoral years past. Among tho applicants for
the admission of his daughtor to tho High
school was a rosldont of Gllborton, who, It
uoiv appears, according to a law enacted at
the last session of tho Legislature, is entitled
to havo his children Instructed in this district
If he prefers, ho having been a soldier in tbo
civil war.
The law In question is found In the Pamph
let Laws of tho last session, pago23, and reads
as follows:
"That any child or children of any person
who was a soldier In tho service of tho United
Stales in tho lato war of tho rebellion being,
or who shall ho, temporarily or otlicrwiso
within any school district of tho Common
wealth shall, upon application, be entitled to
admission and instruction the stimo as resi
dent cliildron, in tho proper common school of
such district, and notwithstanding such child
or children liny havo or may como into such
district for tho purpose of attendanco at such
school, and tho rosldenco of tho parents,
guardian or otlior person or persons entitled
by law to tho custody of such child or child
ren boin another district."
"Thi Power or Woman."
Madamo, and her sou Augustine, Nouvillo
will appear at Forguaon's thearo on Thursday
ovenlng, Novombor Uth, in a production of
"Tho Powor of Woman." Those popular
stars aro this season surrounded by a company
of competent pcrformors. Thoy carry all the
sconery, proportion and mechanical ellccts
used in this production and among tho
special scenic features is a locomotivo run by
steam for thrco minutes in view of tho
audionco, at tho rato of twenty flvo miles an
hour. This is Introduced simply as an
incident, as. "Tho Power of Woman" is not a
railroad play. This play was rccontly road
by a number of Now York's prominent news
paper men and dramatic critics who woro
unanimous in pronouncing it ono of tho
prcttiost storios and host written dramas of
tho day.
How to Vote If Kot Ilf-l-trml.
A great many voters novcr tako tho tronblo
to ascertain whether or not thoy aro regis
tcrcd. Any voter who has lieon a resident of
a district for tho required time, and can get
two mou to swear to tho fact, is entitled ton
voto, whether or not ho Is rogistored. There
is or.o qualification, however, required of a
voter that cannot bo evaded. This is tho
payment of a stato and county tax within
two years. Tho last day to pay this tax to
secure a vote at tho coming election was
October 7th.

RS. WM. WALTER, who
rosidos in tho western
part of town, tolls a
story of sensational ox
pcrionco which shosays
occurred ou Thursday
night. Mrs. Walter, It
seems, had laid away a
snug sum of monoy
with tho intention of
investing it in a farm
In tho Catawlssa Valley. Instead of putting
it in bank sho sccrotcd tho money In an old
tin coffee pot which rested on a Bhelf at tho
side of a stairway loading to a collar. Tho
money had beon thoro for years.
On Tuesday morning Mr. Waltor went
over to New London to mako arrangements
for tho purchase of the farm ho had in view.
Mrs Walter says at nbout 8 o'clock In tho
ovenlng of that day a well-dressed young
man, having much tho appearanco of a "city
chap," callod at her house and said that her
husband had met with an accident and
would not return homo until tho next day,
but ho 1 had brought thol negotiations
for tho purchaso of tho farm to
a point at which immodiato payment
of part of tho money was necessary in order
to secure advantago of an exceptionally good
bargain. Tho young man's knowledgo of the
farm negotiations served as a letter of credit,
and Mrs. Walter accepted tho statement as a
bona fide ono. Sho went to tho old coffeo pot
and took from it $200. As tho money was
being handed to him the young man seized It
and at the same timo grappled with and over
powered tho woman. Having bound and
gagged Mrs. alter tho scouudrol went to
tho stairway and took the balance of tho
money, which amounted to four hundred
dollars.
After tho plunder tho stranger left tho
houso. Mr. Walter arrived home at about
11 o'clock that night and found his wifo
bound and gagged. He Is almost frantic over
tho affair and says that the stolen money was
the result of several years' savings, as he has
been earning but laborer's wages.
A reporter found Mr. Walter at his homo
to day. Tho unfortunate man seemed to be
distracted. When askod how it was possible
for a stranger to have a kuowlodge of the
farm transaction, ho said that on his way to
New London he stopped at a hotel in Ring
town and thero made the acquaintance of a
young man who claimed to represent a Now
York book publishing house. The stranger
explained that he was in Ringtown gathering
farming statistics. Mr. Walter says that he
was with the young man for about two hours,
during which time he spoke of the farm
negotiations The stranger said his name was
Wilmot and pressed Mr. Walter for his ad
dress in Shenandoah so that ho could mako a
call when visiting tho towu. Tho address
was given and with a knowledgo of tho farm
business tho road was clear for tho scouu
drol. A single trial of Dr. Henry Baxter's Man

A prominent citlnen of this (own, who Is
of Woluli descent, claims that the Welsh In
tho United States htimbor as many im their
countrymen In Wales. He llkowise claims
a lineal right to resldonce horo slnco ouo of
his ancestors forestalled Columbus In tho
discovery of America by 372 years. These
assertions, he clalnu, nro liased on historical
traditions and the manuscript of all Welsh
bards on tho ono hand, aud on the provalcnco
of Welsh in many of tho languages of the In
dians, both of North and South America, oji
tho other.
I was in company with a social party ro
ccntly which included a lady who had been
married the second timo, and who had been
divorced from her first husband, Tho latter
is still a resident of this town. This ptrtlcu
lar married lady is anxious to know what
sort of mourning sho should wear in tho event
of her second hmband's death. While not
wishing to establish a precedent, I would
suggest half moruning.
The following ossay on olgarette and
cigar smoking was hauded to mo yesterday:
Tho other day, happening to be in a lowu
not a hundred miles from Shenandoah, 1
thought I would get shaved. Thero is noth
ing remarkable about that, as I, like a groat
many other men, havo often been shavod
boforo. On getting into the chair I paid
special attention to tliosallowlooklng, ouion-
fitoed individual who proceeded to perform
tho tonsorial act. At flrat I thought the
young man's complexion was duo to some un
pleasantness ho might havo had with his
girl, but to my disgust I very soon learned
dlfl'crently. It was caused by cigarotto
smoking. Of all the tortures a man can en
dure, tho worst is to allow ono's self to bo
shaved by a barber who smokes that vilo
oxtract of the gutter snipe a cigarette
Auyouo addicted to tho habit of smoking:
cigarettes must certainly be a burden to him
solf and an offense to anyone who possesses a
seusitlvo nasal appendage We havo seort
many men suffering from an injury or sick
ness and havo pitied them; but the man or
hoy who needs pity is ho who cannot control
his appetite for cigarette smoking. Ho will
lu time reap tho whirlwind and the more ho
smokes tho sooner will the tido turn against
him. Tho fact has hoeti demonstrated
time and again by the medical
profession that cigarettes have a
tendency to heart disease, consumption and
other insidious attacks upon the system. But
we need not consult a physician to learn this.
Anyonr who keeps his eyes open when
walking along tho streets oau find enough
subjects to fully removo any doubt as to tho
effects of clgirettes. Two-thirds of the
applicants for admission to West Point and
Annapolis are rejected becauso they are
addicted to the cigarette habit and have
suffered from the results. At the rate at
which our young people are going into dteel-
pation, smoking, profanity, and kindred evils
we may well be alarmed at the outlook for
the future of our country. "Live as long as
you may," says a writer, "the first twenty
years form the greater part of your life.
They appear so while they are passing ; they
seom to hive been so when we look back to
them : and they take up more room in our
memory than all yeirs which succeed them."
If this be so, how important is it that wa
should pass these years in planting good.
principles, aud avoid all those things which
lay up bitterness and sorrow for timo to
como. Begin by the abolishment of the

The I'limt Act.
Tho Board ot Health will soon be in a
position to assert its authority. Last night a
committeo of the Borough Council met and.
made arrangements to have the rules and.
regulations published as required by law, and
it is expected the publication will bo made on
Monday. Ten days after the publication is
mado tho board will bo in a position to en
force the laws. Dr. Spalding, the preidont
of tho board, Is very anxious to have the
time come when the body oau act
legally. He says that the delay
in taking the neoewary steps to
clothe the board with legal authority lias
resulted lu having the health laws defied in
many Teapeets. Notwithstanding ample
notice has been given and blanks furnished,
for the purpose, but a comparitively small
percentage of contagious diseases have beea
officially reported and the law in regard to
certificates of death and burial permits have
been almost entirely ignored.
