School life will soon he elided for ninny of our young men and women. Armed with their diplomas they will conlldently go forth Into the world to win fame nud fortune, Somo will, perhaps, realize their most sanguine expectations, hut the many will find their paths paved with dllHcul- ties, discouragements and defeats. The way in which they shall meet these ob stacles will determiuo tho measure of their success in life. The world was never so full of opportunities as It is today. While the competitors are more numerous than they were fifty years ago, the prizes to be won are more plentiful and valuable. In every line of human activity and endeavor are to be found rich reward. They await those who earn them. Tomorrow the public schools of this borough will close for the term aud tomor row evening the graduating oxerclses of the grammar schools will be held. The motto of this class Is "No gains without pains," and there will doubtless be a large attendance at Ferguson's theatre by friends and relatives to measure tho pains the graduates have beeu taking to make the gains the exercises Imply. The program is a very lengthy one, the class being very large, aud will embrace forty-nine members. Its magnitude can be better realized when It Is stated that there will be twenty declamations, eigh teen essays, five choruses, three quartettes, threo vocal solos aud a duet, the whole concluding with the presentation of diplo mas and remarks by members of the School Board and others, Of course these exercises will not ter minate tho school life of all tho graduates. Thero is a higher plane to which many of them aspire before taking leave of the generous advantages the local public school system affords and that plane rests upon graduation from tho High school. It is not known how many of this class, will continue to this goal, but it is quite certain that a majority of them will. One of the charactlstics of tho people of Shenandoah is a perseverance in the line of giving their children a good, common school education; aud no matter how hard the times, or how difficult it may be for the heads of some families to meet the daily requirements of life, the son or daughter, and sometimes both, are found advancing to the higher grades of the Schools. Still thero are cases where families find that to keep their children in the High school ranks entails an expense greater thnu they can bear and it has frequently happened that after grad uating from the grammar schools many scholars have dropped out and taken fare well from their classmates to embark upon the more practical fields of life. This year, however, may develop quite a change in this respect, ns tho free text book law has considerably reduced the expense of keep ing children in tho High school. Following, tho graduating exercises of the grammar schools comes the seventeenth auuual commencement of tho Shenaudoah High School. It will bo held In Ferguson's theatre on Friday evening next. Charts for the sale of reserved seats for both events have been open several days aud the ad vanced sales Is large. People who have not secured seats should take a hint and do so nt once. They are on sale at the library rooms In the West street school building. The urogram for the High School exercises is not as long as that prepared for the pre ceding evening and, of course, the enter tainment will "oe of a higher grade. They always are. More importance is attached to the event. There is more elaborate dis play of wardrobes and stage decorations aud the general accompaniments are more of the collegiate order than those that mark the graduating exercises of the lower grade. The members of the High school class of 'Do number thirty-two. They are James Creary, Cornelius Campbell, Emma Gun ter, Gertie Mulr, Allen Seltzor, Albert Beok, Harry O'Hearn, Tobias Hochlerner, Llllle Llewellyn, Annie Fox, Martin Devltt, Harry Gable, Katie Dougherty, Mary Burke, Mary Qrlfllths, Frauk Conry, Agnes Leckie, Annie Flaherty, Carrie Folnier, Maggie Shane, Lizzie North aud Mary Mulhearn. It is understood that at least half of the class will apply for ud- mlsslou to the State Normal Schools with the intention of becoming school teachers. The program for Friday oveniug will consist of orations, essays, recitations, vocal solos, quartettes and choruses num bering thirty. The salutatory oration will be delivered by Cornelius B. Campbell. Miss Annie F. Flaherty has been assigned to give the claRs recitation aud the vale dictory will be delivered by James D. Creary.

As I'nrniirnphod by tho Ton and Poncll rusher. Kirlin, the druggist, distributes circulars which horalds the good qualities of a cer- tntn cigar nnd by way of diversion nft'ords an illustration. If the circular is held in a certain position It makes a drawing appear different from what it really Is, but it takes niiin with two good eyes to "catch on." Mr. Kirlin handed one of the circulars to a gentleman the other night, but tho Illusion failed to materialize. The druggist was astonished, but after spending ten minutes In eamostly explaining haw tho card should bo held ho discovered that tho cus tomer had but one good eye. The druggist wns embarrassed. "Its strange," remarked the willing pupil, "that everybody but me should bo able to see this joke." Kirlin laid the circular aside and crawled out of his embarrassment with the remark, there's nothing In It only a llttlo joke of mine to get the people to look at tho card." Children's Day, the great summer fes tival of the Sunday school, with Its feast of roses, grows In importance year by year, and the cool temperature last Sabbath added greatly to the enjoyment of tho ex ercises by the little folks and tho flower like faces aud the filmy frocks of the little ones crowned with dainty summer hats garlanded with flowers wero a bright and fitting tribute In their advent with the "rose season." This beautiful custom ob tains not only in the United States, but throughout Europe and even to the farther most hounds of India, the secoud Sunday in June Is set apart for children's pralso. The offerings for the day are usually made for scissions. Tho Presbyterian Sunday school missionaries alone organized last year over 1,000 Sabbath schools. In four years over 277 Presbyterian churches have grown out of these new schools. Aud since 1887 tho contributions have amounted to nearly g'00,000. All of these had their impetus in the pennies ofl'eredon Children's Day so early may they be taught the spirit of giving. Despite the existence of an ordinance against tho firing of crackers and other noisy explosives, the practice has become almost as common as though tho young sters aud not a few adults were celebrating the Fourth of July. This Is not only a nuisance to commou-seuse, quietly disposed people, but in many cases is a source of danger. In a number of cases cannon crackers have been exploded. In others, crackers have beeu placed in bottles aud exploded, shattering the bottles aud send lug the splintered glass in every dlreotion. In others, property has been endangered, and lu a variety of ways serious menaces to individual safety have occurred. The public Is prepared to submit on the Fourth of July to one day of the tiring of crackers, and explosives. But this commencement of the practice weeks ahead of that date is a nuisance aud should be summarily suppressed. Whatever else may be said of the times, It cannot be truthfully asserted that the politicians ore not fully allvo and active. Although this is an oil' year, it is the one that precedes the presidential election, and more than this, the issues likely to become the leading ones in the national election are at this time so almost hopelessly en tangled that It will require more skill than that possessed by the average lawyer to unravel and assort them for the use of tho several great party conventions. The sharpest and shrewdest politicians aro not yet ablo to dofluo a Hue of polioy that will prove most efl'ectlve for their respective parties. Perhaps order may bo brought out of the present apparent chaos, nnd the presidential election be gone into with the leading issues so clearly defined that the voters will have no difficulty In determin ing which side is to be supported; but great deal will be required In order to bring about such a result.

SENTENCE FOE PLIMMER Chief of Police TosH Succeeds iti I'm Mnir Thomas ICritsUnuo A way for a While A Trouble some Chnrnotor. Yesterday was one of the Shenaudoah days at the county court aud a number of cases wero disposed of. The principal ono was that of William Pllmmer, the negro, who struck a boy named Michael Hartz ou the head with a hatchet at a plculc at Col umbia park ou Memorial day. Pllmmer claimed the blow was au accidental ono and that ho threw the hatchet to frighten boys who had thrown stones at him. Hartz was In a precarious condition for several days, but was ablo to appear In court yes' terday. Pllmmer was promptly convicted of assault nnd battery and sentenced to pay a fine of $10, serve 20 days lu jail and pay costs. John and Fannie Showdes, Polish representatives of this town, were also before the court yesterday. They wero arraigned on a charge ot resisting an oillcer preferred by special ofticer Anthony Alex. The officer weut into the house of the accused to serve a warrant on one of the boarders and was thrown out. He again entered with other officers and the lights were extinguished. A struggle followed In .the dark, after which the officers succeeded lu getting the man thoy wauted. The jury did not convict Mrs. Showdes, The husband was sentenced to pay a Hue of $10 aud costs. Chief of Police Tosh yesterday succeeded in convicting Thomas ICrushaue, who has beeu a terror to the residents of the lower end of Main street for some time. ICru shaue is a cripple who gets along lu this world on the Weary Waggles order. If he felt thlisty or hungry he made demands upon tho Polish residents of the locality mentioned aud always received a plentiful supply. The peoplo were afraid to refuse to aid him, as he had a reputation for stop ping at nothing desperate. He made the boast that the whole police force could not take him, and the people he terrorized seemed to bellevo him. They were afraid to complaiu to the police. Three of the regular police force pounced upon ICru shaue ouo night while he was asleep In a freight car at the Pennsylvania depot aud railroaded him to the lockup al most before he could awaken from his slumber nnd realize what was going on. The arrest was such a relief to the perse cuted people they are singing the praises of the police force. ICrushaue was sentenced to pay costs aud serve four mouths in tho county jail. Patrick Hllbert, a boy of tender years residing lu towu, was convicted ou a charge of larceny preferred . by Samuel Davis, tho West Centre street grocer. The court was lenient and only sentenced the boy to pay the costs. Joseph Plckalofsky, a fourteen year old boy of town who has been giving his mother considerable trouble by reason of his bad conduct, was sent to the Hunting don reformatory today. Among the other Shenandoah cases dis posed of was that of Anthony Wllatofsky, charged by George Sovltsky with cheating and dofraudlug a boarding house keeper. The jury failed to couvlct and the costs were put ou the prosecutor. A case before the grand Jury yesterday was that of Peter McAlce, charged with assault aud battery by William Cancerlus, the East Centre street saloonkeeper. The jury ignored' the bill and put the costs on Cancerlus. Tho latter Is lu hard luck. He was a victim of the.blg fire. Of seventeen cases disposed of at the Pottsvllle court, yesterday, fourteen had Polish, Lithuanian, or Hungarian prose cutors and defendants, which shows clearly the nationalities that providethe numerous litigations in court from this town. It is said that many of theso people spend al most half their earnings during tho year in litigations at court. It would be a big saving for tho county if Justices of the Peace wero given uower to try oases of grades below felony. Presents at Holdorman's. P. O. 8. of A. Ofllolnls Moor. L. S.
