The Tramp Nuisance Is Commanding Attention A Case of Insolence. How One Knight of the Road Was Equipped. This week will be particularly interest ing to the 1,081 lodges of Odd Fellows in Pennsylvania, representing about 110,000 members, on account of the election for Grand Lodge nnd .subordinate officers which will be held at this time. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company has concluded that after April 1, of this year, It will assume control of all the restaurants connected with its stations throughout its entire line of rond. This will knock out quite a number of pro prietors of small stands along the line. The Lehigh Valley Railroad has re ceived from the Baldwin Locomotive Works the first of the ten new passenger engines recently ordered. It is No. 059, and will be used on through traius. The locomotive Is of the camel back pattern.' The other engines will be delivered as finished, within the next two weeks. The Lehigh Valley employes are now being measured for summer uniforms. This bit of finery in blue with shiny brass buttons costs the wearer $10,00 without the cap. This is pretty steep when two are bought a year especially when tha salaries are not of the Presidential sort. Those who are fortunate enough to be employed in an office and whose clothing is exposed to little wear and tear, are sometimes nllowed to wear their clothe3 a second year, if it is presentable. The in spection is being made and measurements taken by J. J. Lack, of Bethlehem. Many of the old timers employed in the machine nnd car shops of the Philadel phia & Reading Railroad Company in the city of Reading have been informed thai their service is no longer valuable, and they will be obliged to give way to younger men. Some of them have been in the company's employ from forty to forty-five years. It is said that the same system will become operative all over the Reading lines. Doubtless the readers of the dailv papers have noticed the great increase in the number of prize lights, which are not catalogued under the head of boxing matches. We do not recall a time when there were so many such exhibitions, or when they had for their patrons so many men from whom better things should be expected. Every day furnishes subjects for telegraphic despatches from every point of the country announcing matches which, if they are not prize fights, prize fighting has been greatly misrepresented. Our county and vicinity is not in any sense behindhand in this business. Al most every week exhibitions of "the manly art of self defense," so styled, are given, and are largely attended by those who profess -to see something to be ad mired in the skill with which two stal wart men manage to beat each other, and not unfrequently into insensibility. The clergy generally insist that the world is growing better day by day, and perhaps it is, but it will hardly be claimed that the improvement has yet touched prize fighting. In some one of the states, we do not recall, which, the Legislature has under consideration a. bill which not only pro hibit .the sale of cigarettes in less quantities than what is known as a package, and not only prohibits the sale of them In any quantity to minors, but makes it a penal offense for anr one to give a cigarette to a boy. This sounds somewhat like a sumptuary proceeding, but it furnishes prima facie evidence that the deleterious effects of cigarette smok ing upon boys are beginning to be prop erly appreciated, and the fact recognized that in order to save the generation from a practice which is known to be in the highest degree Injurious and which is daily obtaining wider prevalence, it has become absolntely necessary that such legal restrictions shall be adopted ns will to some extent at least save our boys from what, In so many cases, 1b wrecking their minus and bodies. The Town Council should provide soma severe measure to get rid of tramps. These "knights of the road" are becoming entirely too bold and Insulting and need watching. Only last, night a tramp called at a house In town after dark nnd In a gruff and Insolent way demanded some thing which, on account of his foreign language, could not be understood. How ever he was told to leave but refused to go and began at once to abuse the people of the house and threaten them. lie even reaohed In his hip pocket as If to draw a rovolver and then fumbled for bis knife. Finally ho waB dr.'vep off. A far-seeing tramp who took refuge in a North Market street stable last night was as well pre pared for all emergencies cf life on the road as any ever encountered in town. He had no overcoat, but as he wore two coats, two thick vests, two pair of trousers nnd plenty of underclothing, he didn't mlsB one much. When he wandered into the pollco station he bore n big bundle con sisting of a heavy comforter rolled in n piece of oilcloth. In his pockets were found several dozens of loose matches, a big roll of newspapers, two dozen railroad jtime tables, a box of salve, a bottle of Insect powder, two harmonicas, a lot of cards, n handful of toothpicks, a shoe string, n wire nail, a collar button, u )ead pencil nnd a carpenter's pencil, n box ot Indelible leans, an illustrate . catalogue of rubber shoes, a purse with six cents and nn old copper, three brokeu clay pipes, n new pocketbook, a piece of silk hat lining, two pieces of castllo soap, uree sea shells, a broken clam shell, a knife, a plug of tobacco, some fishing tackle, a spool of thread, a piece of wood, a paper of needles, a roll of birch bark, a suspender buckle, a package of cigarette pictures, a notebook containing several Iketcbes of Bar Harbor and vicinity, a chestnut, a wetstone, a dozen pieces of rock, a new whisp broom, a pocket comb and n big pewter spoon. A tour through any of our principal retail. establishments will satisfy any one that business is brisk, and, furthermore, that the busiest of them all are the ones the proprietors of which keep themselves prominently before the public through the medium of liberal and judicious ad vertising. Money, it Is said, talks; so docs constant and well-worded advertis ing. It does not follow, as some nier chants assume, that an old established housa needs no advertising. That was once the case, but this is the age of sharp competition in nil branches of business, sharper than ever before nnd evidently increasing. The merchant who does not recognize that fact, and who does not prepare himself to meet it, is of the old school kind. The great mass ot buyers want to know where the best bargains can be obtained, therefore thousands upon thousands of feminine buyers give attrac tive advertisements their first considera tion, and even those of the male per suasion find In them much of Interest. The columns of the herald are always open to dealers who desire to bring them selves In communication with buyers through the medium of advertising. We shall be hnppy to accommodate them to any desired extent.

OLIVER BANKES THE VICTIM THE SHOOTING OCCURRED ON THE FARM OF ISAAC JONES, IN THE CATAWISSA VALLEY. The Weapon Was In the Hands Young- William Jones, Who of Supposed be Had Withdrawn the Cartridge. A most distressing accident occurred last evening on the farm ot Isaac Jones, near KrebB station, in the Catawissa Valley, by which Oliver Bankes, the 12- year-old son of David Bankes, lost his life. Itwasacaseof accidental shooting, another one of the numerous cases of people handling shot guns on the sup position that they are not loaded. At the time of the shooting the gun was in tne nauas oi wiiuarn jones, tne 14-year-old son of the owner of the farm upon which the accident occurred. Young Jones had used the gun during the day to shoot hawks, which had been troubling pigeons that had been placed in his care by Edward Beddall, son of George W. Beddall, the merchant of town. About, five o'clock In the evening Oliver Bankes, the dead boy, and his ten year-old brother, Oscar, drove up to the Jones homestead. They had been peddling fish, peanuts nnd oranges through the valley and stopped to have a chat with young Jones, the boys entered the house. The gun Jones bed been uslnc was a new one and he showed It to the visitors. It was handled more or le.-s without accident until the Bankes boys were about to leave the House, when the gun was discharged and the load entered Oliver Bankes' back, just under the left shoulder blade. Bankes fell to the iloor with a groan. His brother at once drove to Rlngtown and requested Dr. Rent- schler to accompany him to the farm, but the victim wus beyond all human aid long before the doctor arrived. The boy died about ten minutes after bo was shot. Jones surrendered himself to the authorities at Rlngtown Inst night. He is heartbroken over the occurrence nnd no one questions the statement that the shooting was accidental. He says that as the Bankes boys were walking towards the door to leave the house he was hand ling the trigger. He did not think the gun was loaded, supposing until the shooting occurred that he withdrew the loaded cartridge when putting away the gun earlier in the day. Another Dog Shot.

The dog had been a source ot great annoyance to Letter Carrier Thomas. i.. - Boulders on a Track.
