Clue to Corcoran Murder.
One of the best known of the Pinker
ton detectives has boeu in Duryea and
neighboring towns and has got a start
or at least one clue which may lead to
establishing the identity and possibly
the arrest of the men guilty of the mur

the cigar and tobacco store of John

posed of a number of watches they
secured there at Moosic, and these have
been recovered by the authorities.

them and is now engaged In tracking
them down.

The appropriation for the year 1898 is
as follows: Outdoor. $57,415; indoor,
$56,977, total, $114,392. This amount

the poor in the county Is exceeded by
only two other counties in the state,
Philadelphia and Allegheny.

Nay* H Killed RelnuillUr.
Freehold ('orr. Plain Speaker.
John liibar, formerly of Upper Le
high, but now a soldier in the Hungarian
army, has written to friends in this
vicinity stating that he shot and killed
Peter J. Rein miller on North Ridge
street, Freeland, on the night of July
20, 1890. Ribar was accompanied by
John Gidovan, who also resided at Up
per Lehigh but who is now in Uncle
Sam's army. Simon Oorbart and Jacob
Kuecht, of towu, were coming from
South Ileberton with Roinmiller when
they met Ribar and'Gidovan at the ex
treme northern end of Ridge street,
where the fatal shooting was done.
Kuecht and Uerhe&rt wore arrested
and taken beforo Squire Shovlin on a
warrant sworn out by Detective R. P.
Riley, of Hazleton. Roth men were
released and nothing has since been
heard of the unfortunate occurrence
and had it not been for the lettor writ
ten by Ribar it would have never been
known wbo lired the fatal shot.
"Shore Acres" Thursday Evening.
There is a freshness as of spring, a
sweetness as of June, about "Shore
Acres" that will keep it warm in the
affections of the American theatre-going
public for many seasons yet. unbooked.
As long as the "story of human life and
love remains to be told people will listen
to "Shore Acres." No other play
known to the modem stage depicts so
vividly the irresistible, all-conquering
| power of solf-9acrifice. Its perman
ence orj the American stage is one of the
things, not over numerous, that reflects
credit upon it. The company which is
now appearing in "Shore Acres," has,
with but few exceptions, been seen
in the piece for many years. Mr.
Archie Boyd, the well-known character
actor, will again appear as Nathaniel
Berry, and his artistic interpretation
will bo ably seconded by the twenty
other well-known players of this organ
ization. Entire new scenery lias been
prepared for the production to be given
at the Hazleton opera house next Thurs
day evening. Prices, 75, 50, 35 and 25
cents. Both telephones.
Ilu/.luton Opera limine.
"Peck's Bad Boy" will be the attrac
tion at the Grand opera house, Hazleton,
tomorrow evening. There is probably
no farce comedy on the road that lias
lasted so long and given such general
satisfaction to tlio fun-loving public, as
that funny play "Peck's Bad Boy" as
played by the Atkinson Comedy Com
pany. The piece tills year Is "rewrit
ten and brought up to date with new
scenery, new costumes, catchy music,
graceful dancers, quartettes, duets,
choruses, medleys, etc. The cast this
year is stronger than over, and contains
many old and now favorites. Prices, 25,
35 and 50 cents.
To Whom It May Concern.
Notice is hereby given that any per
son caught tampering with the steam
valves in tho Grand opera house build
ing. or interfering with the same in any
manner, will be ejected from the prem
ises and a repetition of the offense
will be followed by prompt prosecution.

PAPER ON THE WALL.
PATIENTS DRIVEN NEARLY INSANE BY
. WEIRD AND INTRICATE DESIGNS.
C.-'loor to Celling—Headaches ltesult From
the Strain—Suggestion* lor Purchasing
the Proper Wall Covering.
! It is a well established fact that chil
dren are often haunted at night by the
hideous objects they have traced in the
patterns on the wall. Older personß are
familiar with the fact that certain pat
terns irresistibly attract the eyes from
floor to ceiling and from one corner of
the room to the other.
I Endless headaches are the result of
such straining of the eyes. The writer
once occupied a room, which had such
a paper upon its walls. It was a small
room and the consequence was a suc
cession of severe headaches that finally
took the form of vertigo, and which
were not relieved until a change of
room was effected. The paper was
very pretty, but the amount of activity
displayed by the pattern, which seemed
after a brief scrutiny to be literally
alive, was impossible to endure.
I Elderly people may be loatb to admit
it, thinking it a weakness, but they are
frequently subjected to much discom
fort by walls that to the casual ob
server appear attractive. I know of one
I blue and silver paper that had to be
covered by a plain pepper-and-salt sur
! face before the mistress of the room
j could be induced to return to it.
j Papers are frequently one thing in
! the shops and quite another thing up
|on the wall. In buying a plain paper
j this discrepancy cannot occur.
For bedrooms plain papers with a
| roughly finished surface are the best.
These should be light and cheerful in
color, and can be relieved by a richer
border and contrasting woodwork if
desired.
In a hall richly figured paper may be
used, but better results are invariably
obtained by the use of a plain paper of
some dark tone. A deep, old red is
very effective. With this the wood
work should be painted black and high
ly varnished. The floors can be cover
ed with matting or with dark carpet.
On planning a room, the first consid
eration should be the walls, the wood
work and the covering of the floor. Any
room will have some architectural fea
tures that will assert themselves if it is
not swamped in unnecessary nick
nacks. The ends to be sought are, as
in dress, simplicity, use, good color, and
pleasing effect. The fewer materials
used the better. The trouble is that our
walls are usually so offensive that in
stinctively we seek to conceal them
beneath pictures, photographs, fans
and draperies which only serve to hold
the dust and weary the eyes.
A good wall needs very few pictures.
A plain wall will set off the few en
gravings to which one may cling to es
cape monotony. But if one has the
courage to do without pictures alto
gether in a bedroom one will save one's
eyes from detecting that this or that
frame is hanging out of plumb, and
will keep them for the parlor where
they belong. It may require some
heroism to simplify the bedroom in this
way, but the result will more than
compensate.
There is a space, a freshness, a sense
of cleanliness obtained in this way that
cannot be achieved by ail the decora
tion that could be crowded on the
walls. Simple muslin curtains at the
windows, clean matting on the floor, a
plain wall with a pretty border, a
white iron bed with brass trimmings
and linen sheets—these things togeth
er make a bedroom that must be ac
knowledged faultless by the most fas
tidious taste.
Yet these things could be purchased
for half the price of the useless decora
tions with which we constantly dis
figure our homes.

the waiting-rooms, ring the station bell
at the departing of the train and tele
graph its departure to the next station.

telegraph operators as well as those of
postmasters and baggagemen, and do
them well.—Boston Globe.
