Wk are indebted to Mine Inspector William
stein, of this district, for a copy of tho
reports of the Mine Inspectors for the year
1894. Tho report of tho Inspector of tho
Sixth district is very interesting. Asido
from the tabulated portion of tlio report,
which is full and complete, a review of tho
year's record of casualties and their cause
is given with interesting comment. Among
other things hesays : "I assert, without fear
of contradiction, that if our workmen would
bserve tho law in tho samo manner as mine
officials do, wo would havo very few acci
dents to record. I speak thus from practical
experience, and not became I would uphold
the assertions of either operator or initio
official at the expense of the character of our
. mployes." Tho report will prove interest
ing reading to those engaged in coal mining.
Ex-Six'kktaky John W. Fostkm puts tho
rsponsibillty for tlio recent atrocities in

iviysthatlf it were not for England's inter
ference at the Itcrlin conference, when llussia
had conquered the Turks, ami "would, but for i
Disraeli and Salisbury, havo driven the
Sultan from power. Some thirty-five and
forty years ago every Englishman of noto
who visited tliis country had a groat deal to
iy about tho slavery then existing in the
.southern states. Wo do not hear much in
the way of condemnation of England from
Englishmen for permitting this state of
affairs to continue in Armenia, where the
condition of tho poor Christians is indescrib
ably worso than ever that of the negro was
iu America, a condition which would not
exist to-day if the jealottsios of European
powers did not permit tho uiispcakablo Turk
to hold tho lives and happiness of millions of
hristians in his hand.
THE BOROUGH'S FINANCES.
ttentiouis called to tho advertisement of
i In- li nance committeo of tholiorough Council
hi another column. Tho proponed issue of
liouds is to tako up tho bonds maturing
January 1st, 1500, and March 1st, 1800.
Those matuiing January 1st, amount to
mm.ooo, being tlio unredeemed portion of a
loan of $80,000, issued ill 1SS1 to redeem a
iiiorloan of 0 per cent, bonds, while the
.ms maturing March 1st. amounting to
s;,tioo, wore issued to provide for the eipense
incurred during tlio epidomie of small-pox
which raged so virulontly during tho winter
of 1H83-SJ, and cost tho borough a largo sum
to get under control.
outside of tho dobt incurred in erecting the
water works, $1 15,000, this is all tho debt of
the borough, and as tho wator works arc
raying running expenses, and its extinguish
ment is provided for hy tho tax of 5 mills
annually to bo levied for that purposo, the
amount is small j and the fact that bankers
in all the large cities from Poston to Chicago
are daily inquiring about it, tho prospects aro
iUvill command a premium. As tho bonds
art not redeemable until aftor fifteen years,
and may run thirty, they area vorydosirablo
investment, when it is considered that the
assessed valuation of tho borough is vory
nearly 8,360,000 whllo tho real valuo of
property is nearer 0,0O0,tt)0.
In view of these facts it looks as if the
bonds would command a good premium, which

THE CONTROLLER'S POSITION.
The Luzerne County .Judge's Decision Will
Affect the Local Cane.
PorrsVILLK. Deo. 14. Tho. decision of
Judge Lynch, f tho Luzerne, county, courts,
will have considerable, hearing upon the pro-i
codlings begun here against Controller
Severn. Inasmuch as the act creating tho
ofllco lias been declared unconstitutional hy
the court of Luzerne, no further steps will
likely he taken by tho County Commissioners
of this county in tlio quo warranto proceed
ings begun before tlio Attorney General
to oust Jtr. Severn. Tho Controller of
Luzerne county will take the matter to tho
Supremo Court, and its decision will afl'ect
both cases.
The conclusion of Judge Lyneh's lengthy
and Intelligent opinion is in effect that the
law is unconstitutional and consequently tlio
motion for an injunction is denied. The
ground for this finding as stated in sub
stance hy the court is that tho duties of
tlio Controller as defined by law conllict with
those of tho County Auditors, and that tho
law in reality removes tlio latter from ofilco
and takes their salaries from them, which tlio
Legislature has no right to do, the Auditors
having been elected for a certain term and
that term having not yet expired. In his
opinion the Judge holds that an ullicor duly
elected for a certain term cannot or ought
not to he removed 'from his ollico without
charges and bearing, which in this case have
not been had.

OPPOSED TO A CUSTOM.
School
Directors Say School Teachers
Should not Itecrlvo Gifts.
It is learned that several of tho School
Directors aro opposed to tho custom of tho
public school children making Christmas
presents to their teacliers.and if somo of them
had thought of tho matter at the last meeting
of tlio School Board action would havo been
taken to lay it officially before tho teachers.
It is claimed that the custom has a had effect
nnd the teachers should try and discourage
it. If tliero aro pupils who persist in making
presents they should he instructed to send
them to tho residences of tho teachers. There
aro teachers, it is said, who will not
receive gifts, but, en tho other hand,
some of the Directors have learned
that there aro other teachers who not
only encourage the custom, but designate to
their pupils the kind of presents tbey want,
and it is this as much as anything else that
has brought forth tho condemnation. A
Director cites a case of a class last year 'that
decided to give its teacher a present. Almost
all tho children succeeded in subscribing
from 5 to 15 cents each for tlio purpose. There
was one little tot who was less fortutiatc.
Her parents were exceedingly poor and every
cent was needed for the family's support. Sjie
cried bitterly when her mother refused to
give her any money. She said sho liked her
teacher and all the little girls had given
something. Sho was afraid that if sho
did not give her share the teacher
would think she didn't like her. For two
weeks tho child worried over tlio matter and
finally, no one appears to know how, sho
succeeded iu obtaining a penny. On tho last
day of school pieceding Christmas the child
handed the penny to thu teacher saying,
"Please, nia'm, will you take this. It is all
I can get?" It is such cases as this that
bring out the forco of the situation. One
teacher last year found it next to impossible
to dissuade the custom, but as a compromise
told each pupil who could conveniently do so
to bring five cents to her, hut in cases where
the parents could not afford it no money
should ho brought. The contribution was a
generous ono and on Christmas Day tho
teacher spent it in purchasing shoes and
stockings for children of families sho knew
to ho in need. But the Directors who opposo
tho custom do not seem disposed to coun
tenance it even in such cases. Wliilo the
latter caso reflected a noble example, it was
possibly a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
The subject is not a new one, hut tho oppo
sition to tho custom appears to bo stronger
this year than eer betore, and somo of the
School Director-, have intimated that they
expect to see the custom Very much broken

Increased speed in ANY machine, human
or otherwise, means increased wear and tear
and waste.
Increased wasto of the tissues of tho body
means increased work for the kidneys,
whoso placo it is to remove poisons and im
purities. Increased kidney work means
increased strain upon tlioso organs, and
increased stntln without rest or relief means
disease.
