Grammar School Exercises Held in

A VERY LAEGE AUDIENCE
Every Sent In tho Theatre Was Oo
cuilo(l It Itciiulrecl Over Tlirco
Honrs to Got Through tho
I'roirrnm.
Tho graduating exerclst-9 of the grammar
school class of D5 wero held jn Ferguson's
theatre last night before an iniine'iiso nudl
ence. Every seat in the theatre was taken.
Tho curtain was raised promptly at eight
o'clock. The members of the School Board
occupied seats to the left of the stage ami
Superintendent 51. 1'. Whltnker, who di
rected the exercises, was seated to the right.
The graduates occupied chairs terraced in
the centre of the stage. Superintendent
Whitaker announced that owing to the
length of the program no encores would be
allowed. The class was the largest in the
history of the schools. Miss Helen Price
was the pianist of the evening, and Miss
Jeauette Kamage, the teacher of vocal
music in the schools, directed the musical
exercises.
The program was so lengthy that its ren
dition consumed over three hours and, al
though the exercises were of a very Inter

closing chorus passed away. The program

for encores.

HE'S A HUSTLER.
A Judeo Who Hoes Not Allow Any
Qulbbllim.
Judgo Eudllch, of Reading, who Is pre
siding in oueof tho criminal courts nt Potts
ville this week, is deserving of more than
passing notice. Ho will share well In tho
credit which tho judges will bo given for
their work this week In clearing cho crimi
nal calendar of so many cases, and it is
safe to say that if ho were to preside at
more terms in this county the business of
tho criminal court would rapidly decrease.
Judge Endlioll is one of those men who
looks nt everything practically (at least his
work this week creates that impression of
him), and ho spends no tlmo In frivolity,
lie is as sharp as experience can niako
n jurist and lie keeps both sides In a case
strictly to tho Hue of controversy. Some
have said ho is too practical. This may
be true, and the results of some of the cases
he has disposed of while at Pottsville may
warrant an admission In this respect, yet
he reaches tho desired end in the criminal
practice of this county. The other day he
disposed of nluo cases with one jury, aud
without allowing the jury to leave the box
at tho conclusion of any of tho cases. His
record for tho day ran up to fourteen cases.
This is marvelous work.
Judge Eudllch sits ou tho bench much as
a well-to-do business man seeking recrea
tion sits on tho verandah of a hotel at a
seaside hotel. He sits with crossed legs,
a fan wobbles continually to the frout and
right of his face, and his head is poised as
if ho were scanning the beads of the spec
tators at the rear of tho court room, or
looking at something beyond the rear
windows. Occasionally his eyes close.
Were it not for tho wobbling of the fan
one might suppose that he 1b sleeping. But
he Isn't. Any one with an ear close to the
judicial mouth can hear the mutteriugs
"Frivolous, frivolous." Suddenly some
thing interesting is stated by the witness.
The judicial eye lids roll up like a window
shade propelled by a strong spring,tho wob
bling of the fan stops, and his Honor looks
Intently upon the witness. This chango Is
only temporary, however. Tho eye-lids
soon drop again aud tho wobbling of the
fan isassuined. Wo will suppose the prqse
cutor in some petty criminal case has told
his story. "That'll do," exclaims Judge
Endlich, "What has the defense got to
say ?" Tho lawyer for the defense outlines
his caso briefly and puts the defendant ou
tho stand, and possibly one, or two,
witnesses. The fan stpps again and his
Honor asks "What has the Common
wealth to say agaiust tho evidence sub
mitted by the defense?" The prosecuting
attorney replies "We have witness to show
the ownership of theso goods," whereupon
his Honor turns to the jury and says,
"Gentlemen, do you thing the prosecution
has made out a case against this defend
ant "" A momentary pause aud then "It
seems to me a case has not been made out,
but it Is for you, gentlemen, to say whether
or not such is the caso." Another brief
pause. "Well, gentlemen, what Is
your verdict?" One of tho jury
men says "I'm not satisfied that
a case has been made out." Then follows
a series of "I'm not satisfied," and the
declaration Is cut oil' by his Honor direct
ing the clerk to take the verdict, aud that
settles tho case. This synopsis is given in
order to illustrate how Judge Endlich
waded through nine cases with one jury
the other day. One of the jurymen said
after he got out of tho box, "Gal dang It,
I never saw anything done so slick In all
my born days." Some character readers
profess to be able to tell a man's occupa
tion at a glance. Many of them would be
fooled in Judge Endlich. He looks like a
prosperous aud ludustrious stock broker or
insurance man, but ho Is a cuckoo ou the
bench.

A Warning Given to tho Hoard of
Health.
MUST WAT0H IMMIGRANTS.
A ship With Small-pox ou Hoard
Arrives nt Now York Some of
the l'asseuuors Aro lllthor
Bound.
Tho officers of tho local Board of Health
were somewhat oxerclsed this morning by
the receipt of n letter from Benjamin Lee,
M. D., secretary of the State Board of
Health, warning them to watch for tho
arrival of immigrants from New York city
and guard against an invasion of small
pox.
The communication was received this
morning aud rend :
"Si:ciiETAi:v BoAiiD or Health,
"Shenandoah, Pa.
"Dr.Ais Sir. : Tho steamship 'Muucheu,'
which arrived in New York cltv ou Juno
19, 1895, had on board several cases of
small pox. One of her passengers was a
Hungarian by nationality, her destination
being Shenandoah, Pa. It will be very
important for the Interest of the public
ho.dth that you shall keep all passengers to
your place by this steamer under close ob
servation for a period of two weeks."
Tho Board of Health will hold a meeting
tonight and tho recommendations of the
State Board of Health will bo acted upon.
It is quite likely that the Health Officer
will be Instructed to exercise diligence in
keeping track of immigrants from New
York, aud after locating their stopping
places hero mako daily visits to the houses
for the period recommended. Of course,
no case of small-pox will be allowed to pass
quarantine and come hero if the health
authorities can prevent it, nor is it to be
inferred that it is expected that small-pox
will develop in new arrivals. The State
Board's action is a precautionary measuro.
Some passengers may pass at New York as
perfectly healthy and a week later develop
as victims of the dreaded disease.

The cost of the fight against tho Quay
county bill will bo to Schuylkill county no
less than S1.000.
The Solicitorshlp of this countv is a fat
job. The sum of f 1033.23 for five months
this year is not so slow.
Should Governor Hastings sigu tho bill
increasing salaries, the office of County
Commissioner will be worth 52,500 a year;
that of Poor Director 51,500 and the num
ber of seekers after these offices will be
great.
Schuylkill county wants the services of
such men as Judge Endlich, of Berks, and
Judge Savage, of Northumberland, for a
few terms more. It would be many thous
ands dollars saved to tho taxpayers.

Council Didn't Meet.
A regular meeting of tho Borough
Council was to have been held last night
but the grammar school exercises inter

after waiting some time for more arrivals
aunouueed that a motion to adjourn was in
order. On motion of Mr. Gatllgan, it was
decided to adjourn to meet next Tuesday
evening. The members in attendance were
