IN THE FREELAND TRIBUNE Commencing with Monday, February 10,1800, and continu ing through the year, the TRI BUNE proposes to publish a series of able articles upon subjects of vital and general interest to our readers. Emi nent thinkers and writers of national reputation on Social, Economic and Industrial Prob lems have promised contribu tions upon topics of universal interest. The list of authors, and the comprehensive group of ''Live Questions" that will be treated by them, can be seen on this page, and will, we confidently believe, merit the hearty interest of readers who are already interested in these themes, and are anxious to receive the most rational opin ions obtainable. All articles will be prepared in an inquiring and scientific spirit, and will be non-sectional and non-partisan. A'igor and simplicity of statement will be aimed at, and all phases of re form thought will be fairly and impartially presented. Upon subjects about which there is a variety of candid opinions, all sides will receive ari equal op portunity to be heard, that the truth may, if possible, be ar rived at. This is the first co-operative attempt upon the part of able writers to thoroughly discuss all the interesting phases of social and industrial life for the masses who would be the beneficiaries of substantial re forms, and the arrangements made by the TRIBUNE give us the sole privilege of publishing the articles in this town. They can be read in no other Free land paper, and those of our readers who are not subscribers should have their names placed on the list without delay. CONTRIBUTORS. Hon. Carroll I). Wright. B. O.

And it begins to look as if the ele ments of nationalty represented by the rival candidates in the national delegate contest is certain to result in demoraliz ing the Republicans of Luzerne this fall, just as the Democrats became demoral ized by internal factional strife twoyears ago.— Wilkeaba rre Telephone. The Democrats of the middle coal field poor district will meet in convention to day at Ilazlcton, and a strong candidate should lie chosen for the ticket. The Democracy of the district ought to be represented on the board of poor direc tors, and it will after the next election if the delegates use good judgment this afternoon. There is a chance this year to elect a Democrat, providing the con- vontion names a man around whom the party can rally. There was an act passed by the last legislature which forbids anyone not a near adult relative of the deceased t> attend tin- funeral of a person who has died of cholera, smallpox, yellow fever, typhus fever, diphtheria, diphtheritic croup, membranous croup, or leprosy. A sufficient number of persons to act as pallbearers may be present, and if any notice is sent to a newspaper announcing the death, tiie cause of the death must also be stated, under a penalty. —Exchange. The McAdoo Tidings is one of the breeziest newspapers in the Lehigh re gion. considering its age. Its publishers claim the credit of having secured the five-cent fare on the South Side branch of the trolley line, and are now engaged in an ofTort to have a similar reduction made on the Freoland branch. Tidings has a contract on its hands, noverthi - less we wish it success in its battle against a corporation which thinks the voice of the press can be silenced by a paltry pass. E. Freas Bogort, proprietor of the Wiikesbarre Leader , and one of the best known Democrats in Luzerne county, Is a guest at Dooncr's hotel. Mr. Bogort has been down to Washington looking after his chances for the appointment of postmaster of that city, the term of Postmaster L. B. Landmcsscr expiring February 10. Mr. Bogert is backed by John T. Lenahan. His only opponent is Isaac Livingstone, a retired capital ist, with ox-Congressman nines as his principal supporter, but it is shrewdly suspected in Wiikesbarre that lliues is after the oftico himself on the com promise plan.— Phila. Time*, The reports of the school directors' convention at Harrisburg last week tell of a resolution that was introduced in which the legislature was to be asked to appropriate a sum annually to defray t he expense of the association's conven tions and to pay the delegates' traveling expenses. To the credit of Pennsyl vania's directors the resolution was re jected. In the debate which preceded the vote tho Luzerne delegates opposed making any such request, and Directors McCarthy andOpp, of this county, spoke vigorously against the resolution. The action of the directors show they have a proper conception of their position, in that respect at least. The ollices of couiiclliuen and scliool directors are not sinecures In towns the size of Freeland. The present incum bents can tell of the petty annoyances to which t hoy are subjected by people who should know better. There are some persons who cannot understand that a public official is under oath to legislate for the public good, and when these people help to elect a friend to olTieo they usually want to own him bodily and dictate what policy he shall pursue on every question that arises. The kind of mon which botli political parties should nominate are those who will always place duty before friendship and who will not use their positions to repay personal obligations. The Munch Chunk Democrat on Satur day reprinted the TMIII NE'N comment on Hie Republican poor district conven tion, then added tlio following: "Tho defeat of Mr. Monroe is unquestionably a backward move, and as the unexpect ed result was evidently the work of some secret scheming in the dark, we strongly suspect that it means a revival of the outrageous rotteness of years ago that characterized the poor house and hos pital directorship when it was notorious ly a roosting nest in the special interest of moral bankrupts figuring as local wt'ty jugglers for office and revenue >nly. Mr. Smith may be a man of the ight stamp for all we know, but the manner of ills nomination over such a well-tried and faithful public servant as Mr. Monroe needs at least a satisfactory explanation as to the true reason why." FOR YOUNG WIVES. Advices Which, If Heeded, Will Lessen the Friction of Married Life. Home excellent advice to a young wife consists of an earnest exhortation to preserve discreet silence with respect to family matters, says Princess. Always remember that what you learn about your husband's family is to be kept to yourself; that when you married him and took his name you be came one of the family, and the little trouble, the little skeleton, is not to he discussed with the members of the family in which you were born. To your sister it may mean nothing that some trouble has come to your hus band's brother. You may tell it to her in secrecj', and it may seem of so little importance that she will repeat it to her sister-in-law, and grudually what was meant, to be kept quiet is told ail round the neighborhood. The art of keeping to yourself what you hear on each side of the house is one that you must cultivate, for it means the keep ing of peace. Surely, you would not wish to hurt your husband, and yet you will do it if you cannot keep quiet. When you enter his mother's house, anything that is told to you in confi dence must be forgotten when you leave it, unless, indeed, it is discussed with your husband, and the same rule will apply to your own family. Don't imagine that every little frown, every little disagreeable word is meant for you, and do not retail to your husband anything unpleasant that may have happened when you were visiting at his mother's house. Think that she is your mother, too, and give her the priv ilege of speaking to you as your mother does. 1 know it isn't always easy to have fault found with one when one is trying to do one's best, but think over what is said, if there is anything help ful in it. It is in the woman's power to make or mar the sanctity of mar riage by the manner in which she ac cepts its responsibilities. It is as due to the earnest endeavors of a good wife that many a husband lias been re claimed or prevented from leading the downward path, as, unfortunately, it is that carelessness or indifference or neglect from the "weaker half" in physical strength has weakened luer power and made her influence useless. OUNCES OF PREVENTION. Wear a clean apron while ironing or bed-making. To clean bamboo furniture use a brush dipped in saltwater. The eyes should be bathed every night in cold water just before retiring and they will do better work the follow ins When very tired lie on the back, al lowing every muscle to relax, letting the hands go any way they will, and keep the eyes closed. If you have to sew all day change your seat occasionally and so obtain rest. Ilathing the face and hands will also stimulate und refresh. Oil stains may be removed from wall paper by applying for four hours pipe clay, powdered and mixed with water to the thickness of cream. For stains in matting from grease wet the spot with alcohol, then rub on white castile soap. Let this dry in a cake and then wash off with warm salt w uter. LATEST ERIDAL FAD. A Very Styllih and Uweful Addition to the Gride's Costume. The latest bridal fad is the "sac Mar guerite," a shield-shaped bag, made of velvet or satin and painted with flowers which form the main floral decoration of the wedding feast. The decorative chrysanthemum, the simple daisy, the rare orchid, or the bride's rose can be faithfully represented by this delight ful art. The "sac" in this case is made of cream-colored satin, edged with chiffon frill. It is attached to the right side of the dress by two satin ribbons, with O H-Xa Ssr TIIE MARGUERITE BAG FOR BRIDES. rosettes on the flap, where the mono* gram of the owner is usually painted. \ spray of orange blossoms decorates the bag- and the small prayer book used on that occasion is incased in ivory sat in with a spray of the same hymeneal emblems. These bags are an elegant addition to the bridal costume, very stylish, and useful as well.—St. Louis Republic. Here's Some Good Advice. Don't roll your eyes up into your head as if they were marbles. A fine pair of eyes will he utterly ruined by this operation. The girl with a pretty mouth will purse it up into the pret tiest bouton and continue the habit mi til many lines form about the lips and the lovely mouth has to be put into the hands of a beauty doctor. Nearly every woman bites or sticks her lips. Others contract the brows and produce two furrows between the eyes. Others wrinkle the forehead with frowns. Others perpetually wear a tipjtilted nose. The true expressive face doesn't consist of a set of features l.urg or strings or wires. Do cultivate placid features. RAILROAD TIMETABLES rHK Delaware, Pubquiiianna ami Schuylkill Railroad.
