Do not wait for opportunities. Im prove yourself constantly, and you will have all the opportunities you can use. Make yourself a power in yourown world and yon will soon be wanted in a larger world. Make up your mind clearly and firm ly what you want in this life, and be determined to get it. You cannot fail if you continue to stand unflinchingly upon your original resolve. Though you do not get it as soon as you desired, there is no need of giving up. You have the power to get what you want and you will positively get it, if you continue to use that power. News of the devastation wrought by the earthquake in Italy was received by the government scientists in Washington with profound interest. The tremors were received on the seismograph m instrumcnta of both the Weather Bureau and the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the Weather Bureau officiala.had figured out almost with mathematical precision the section of the globe where the great force of the shock was felt, but there was nothing to indicate the tremendous violence of the disturbance as brought out by the later reports showing the enormous loss of life and property dam age- A petition to the State Legislature is being circulated, asking for the enact ment of a law which will make the hunt ing of pheasants and other birds with dogs illegal. The sportsmen believe that in a few years the pheasants and many others ol our choice birds will certainly have been exterminated from the Pennsylvania woods unless strict legisla tion is enacted to save them. The hunt ing of birds with the aid of dogs is in dulged in so extensively that in a patch of woods a few hunters' easily kill every bird and the species can in a very short- time become extinct. Claus Spreckels, the multimillion aire sugar king, died in San Francisco on Saturday morning last, aged 80 years He was born in Hanover, Germany and came to this country when eight years of age. Twenty years -later he conduct ed a store and brewery-in San Francisco, and in 1863 established a sugar refinery m that city, importing his raw material from Hawaii. By inventing new pro cesses and constantly enlarging his busi ness he became immensely wealthy, and at the time of his death was a large owner of the stock of the steamship company trading between San Francis co and the South Sea islands. On the same day of Mr. Spreckels's death, Dr, Richard A. F. Penrose, father of U. S, Senator Boies Penrose, died at his home n Philadelphia. SUPPLY OF ANTHRACITE. The latest estimate of the anfount of anthracite coal in the ground, made by M. R. Campbell for the United States Geological Survey, is 21,000,000,000 tons. In 1879 P. W. Shaeffer estimated the contents of the anthracite coal measures in Pennsylvania at 26,360,576,000 tons and the amount of coal accessible and marketable at 8,276,856,666 tons. The estimate of Joseph S. Harris in 1880 was a gross total of 13,260,392,591 tons and a marketable total of 3,580,036,600 tons. In 1892 Mr. Harris' estimate was revised, and he then reported a gross total of 14, 453,970,000 tons, of which 5,900,700,000 tons were marketable. In the same year James F. Jones, in a report on the qual ity of anthracite coal in ground, estimated it at 12,000,000,000 tons. Mr. Shaeffer estimated the marketable coal at one third Of the total amount in the ground. Mr. Harris, in 1880estimated that 27 per cent, of the coal in the ground was ac cessible and marketable, and, according to his figures, a production of 60,000,000 tons per year would exhaust the mines in 100 years, with the high point of pro duction in 1915. It is evident,8uggests the coal record, that the question of the exhaustion of anthracite coal will not be a vitally in teresting one to this generation. A large part of the territory owned by the lead ing producers and carriers is undevel oped, but it will be necessary in the next few years to increase the colliery capacity if it ia shown that the consumption is 60,000,000 tons or above that quantity. A GREAT SCHOOL. SCRANTON BUSINESS COLLEGE. The Scranton Business College began its fifteenth year on Tuesday, Sept. 1st, with a large enrollment. Despite the hard times the enrollment has been very heavy since and the school is now very large. The suddenly greatly increased demand for office help this month is an indication that good times are here again and that those who soonest qualify as bookkeepers or stenographers will reap the greatest rewards. School will open again on Monday, Jan. 4th. Write to If. D. BUCK, Principal, Scranton, Pa. Citizen ad's bring results. Carrying Concealed Weapons. During the progress of a case in the Monroe county court" a few days since, it was testilled that n etroudsburg jus tice of the peace had advised people that the had a right to carry revolvers, when Judge Staples halted the proceed ings and gave the following as his ju dicial interpretation of the lan relating to the carrying of concealed weapons : -"The very fact of a person, man or boy, having concealed about him, a re volver or other deadly weapon, makes him liable to conviction, unless he can explain in a satisfactory manner how he happens at the time to be carrying that weapon, and this court will hold any such person to the strict letter of the law. In other words, the reason, or the necessity, for the carrying of the revol ver must be such as wovld excuse him, and it is necessary at this time that the rule should be held np very strictly. No justice of the peace has a right to give any such advice, as he is not elected to serve as advisor to the people ; but he is simply there to perforin the duties of his office, and we hope that advice will not be taken as the correct law, and we de sire this matter to be called to the at tention of all the people. Wc see some persons in the audience who deal in lire-arms and wc say to them, that not withstanding the profit in the sale of a revolver, that such person should not sell revolvers to irresponsible people. There are a large number of foreigners about this town at the present time and it behooves the people to see that the law is strictly complied with and that everything is done to see that there is not such opportunity given as would lead to a violation of the law. and even severe injury or death, resulting. We hope that the persons to whom the court has given this advice will follow it. "There is no law that prevents a deal er in fire-arms from selling to anybody, but we trust to their good sense and pat- Indian Orchard. Dec. 28th. Several from here attend- ed the Christmas exercises held at the M. E. church at Beach Lake on Thurs day evening last. All were highly pleas ed with the entertainment. John Neal, Jr., wlio had his leg bro ken at the Half Way House recently, is gaining quite fast.

Much credit is due to Miss Mary King, who so ably conducted the pupils of her school here for the ben efit of the Christmas exercises at the chapel. We will also giye credit to Mrs. J. E. Haley, Mrs. W. M. Wood and Miss Minnie Mill, who so tastefully decorated the interior of the chapel. Beside the tree a handsome arch' made of ever greens and trimmed with artificial flow ers stood in the centre of the platform, from which our pastor addressed the Sabbath school ina most interesting and instructive manner, his theme being "The Birth of Christ." The program was too long for reproduction here, and we must be content with saying that every number was well selected, and, whether instrumental or vocal, whether a recitation or address, every number was well rendered. After the Christmas tree exercises 'came "A Plea for Santa Claus," when Angus Wood put in an appearance, loaded down witlf gifts, in the distribution of which all present were remembered, George Wood and Irving Swingle made a fine catch .of the finny tribe one day last week at Lake Lodore, their catch being 86 perch and pickerel. Merchant Snediker with wife and fam ily, spent Christmas at a family gather ing in Mount Pleasant. The superintendent of the Sabath school at Steenehas been wearing smiles ever since the Christmas tree exercises, as he was presented with a beau tlul big doll with gray eyes and curly hair. His time U all taken up'with it at present. Sterling. Dec, 27th. Wc have had several days of excellent sleighing, which is being well improved.

The Maple Grove school had their Christinas exercises on the evening of the 23d, and the Jericho Sunday school on Christmas night. The Sterling M. E. Sunday schobl held forth on the evening of the 24th. Such entertainments always bring out a full house, and this time was no excep tion. The children usually receive much credit for their excellent speaking and singing, and they deserve it, but the faithful teacher, who does the drilling, seldom gets the credit Ehe deserves. She is, as it were, "the power behind the throne." A. M. and Mrs. Sampson, from Ariel, brought Rev. and Mrs. S. B. Murray down to-day, and he very acceptably filled the M. E. pulpit. A good sermon is appreciated now, as we have had but one in three months. JURY LIST January Term, 1809. QRAKD JUltV. Berlin Benjamin Frey. Clinton Thomas Higging. Cherry Ridge I. F. Tnvlor.

In the coming of Fanny Rice to the Lyric Theatre on New Year's Day, Fri day, Jan. 1st, the amusement seekers have a treat in store for them, not alone in the fact of Miss Rice herself, but in the opportunity the lady is given to por tray her versatile art, as Nancy Patch, the Shoemaker's wife, in "A Day Off." The play is of the best class of musical comedies, and a real story of interest runs through the prologue and three acts, abounding with comedy, pathos and music. Fine opportunity is given in the last act for Miss Rice, who will impersonate in midget mimic stage her famous characterizations which always prove a delight to ladies and children With an excellent cast and complete production, which is promised, an excep tional offering seems assured.
