Protest Against School Consult.
A meeting of the borough school board
was held Saturday evening for the pur
pose of taking action on the census of
children of school age. as taken by tho
several ward assessors a few months
ago. Directors Kline, Trevaskis, Urown,
Everitt, Vanhorn, Hell and Krommes
were present, also Assessors Drasher,
Evans and Miller and Assistant Asses
sor Ward. (
The recent assessment shows that
thoye are only 1,181 children of school
age in town, a loss of 355 compared with
last year. The average attendance at
tho public schools is 999, while
over 400 borough children attend St.
Ann's parochial schools and fully 100
inure are enrolled at the Creek Catholic
and Slavonian Lutheran schools. A
conservative estimate of tho children of
school ago who are employed at the
mills and breakers would ho 35 per cent
of tho total number, or 500 more. This,
in round numbers, is 3,000 children. I
which is far too few to allow for a ,
town which cast 1,035 votes last Feb-!
ruary. A decrease was shown in every
ward, but the Third and South wards '
gave the heaviest losses.
Secretary Treva*kls read correspon
dence that has passed between County j
Superintendent Hopper and himself, j
from which it was learned that the last
assessment figures have been forwarded I
to the department at Harrisburg and j
upon this assessment the state appro- ;
prlatlon will he based in 1900 and 1901.
The secretary estimated that the loss in 1
the appropriation will he fully 80no a!
year, which means tho loss of one |
month's schooling each year for the |
pupils.
The assessors explained part of the [
loss by stating that heretofore they I
were instructed to assess all children !
between tho ages or 0 and 31 vears. but j
that tho last assessment contained only j
those from (i to 10 years. Tho hoard. '
however, considered that there is still
inaccuracy somewhere, and a motion
was passed to have a re-enumeration of
all the wards by persons to be appointed
by the president.
The enumerators are to receive S3 per
day and the assessors a like amount
when they work. The assessment will i
be made this week, if possible, and two
days are allowed for each of the First,
Second, Third and Fourth wards, and J
four days fur tho South ward. If any
errors are found a supplemental list wlfl J
he forwarded to Harrisburg.
The secretary reported that three '
window panes had been broken in !
the Daniel Coxe school during the week
by pupils and others. The matter was j
referred to the proper committee to
make a full investigation.
Acuumck Sun of Forgery.
The suit of John M. Ward, a mer
chant of Wilkesbarre, to recover pes- j
session of property worth $30,000 which j
he claims his son, Eugene Ward, fraud- j
ulently obtained from him, was on
trial at the county seat last week. The I
defendant Is a lawyer and a council
man of Wilkesbarre, and Is charged
with forging the names of his father!
and mother to three deeds and borrow
ing $7,000 on the property from the
Mutual Guarantee liuildiug and Loan
Association.
The father testified that ho know
nothing of the alleged fraudulent trans- I
fer until a year ago, when he wanted to |
sell the property, and found that some I
time previous his soil had obtained pos- ;
session of it. lie pronounced the sig
natures forgeries, and so did E. W.
Mulligan and Ira I). Sax, of the Second
National bank, and W. A. Molcber, a
member of the Philadelphia bar and a
handwriting expert.
Tho trial will be resumed this tuorn
ing.
The grand jury, at its last session,
returned a true bill against tho son on
tho charge of breaking into his father's
store and stealing some silks.
l>ie<l from Son's Blow.
Thursday was pay day for the miners
at Carbondaie, and .James Nolan went
on a spree. Late that night lie return
ed to his home and his father began to 1
upbraid him. The altercation led to
blows, and the aged mother, who for
months lias been an invalid with rheu
matism, under the excitement, ran to a
neighbor's house and gave the alarm.
When the neighbors arrived they
found the father lying on the back !
porch, with a deep gash in his head and
his skull fractured. Near-by, stuck in
the ground, was an axe, on the blade of
which was blood stains. The bov, aged
22 years, was later captured in a near
by saloon. He admitted having had the
axe in his hand and striken his father,
but says ho did so in self-defense. The
father died on Friday.
•lefTrieft-Sliurkey Content.
On Saturd.ay evening, by special ar
rangement with Messrs. Wni. A. Brady
and Thos. O'Ronrke, the famous pic
tures of the Jeffries-Sharkey contest,
will bo shown at the Grand, just as it
occurred in the greatest fistic encounter
that has ever taken place. Much has
been written about the perfection of
these pictures, but the imagination ,
scarcely conveys how vivid and thrilling '
they are in the way of realism. Wher
ever these pictures have been shown, I
they have created the greatest exeito

, HOW TO WEAR SHOES
t CHARACTER LEARNED BY MEANS
s | OF THE FOOTGEAR.
This Refers to Women But It Will No
] I Doubt Apply to Men As Well—The
! Man Who Is Patiently Looking for
| The Ideal Girl.
I "It gets me," said the man, "to know
why women and girls are not more
I particular about the way they dress
their feet. If they knew how much
; ■ people noticed them, they would take
more pains in buying their shoes than
; they do in buying their gowns. Every
1 1 one knows that the man is more par
i tic,liar about the way he keeps his
hoots and shoes than a woman. As
| for me, the woman 1 marry must have
i pretty, well-dressed feet.. I have nev
| er found any one yet who came up to
my standard of excellence, and that's
why I m not married, 1 suppose,
j "I did think 1 had found her once. I
j fell in love with one foot. That was
where I made the mistake. It was
j some kind of an art exhibition. There
was a screen at the door from one
[ room to another, which was a few
I steps higher, and happening to look
| across the room, 1 saw below that
| screen the daintiest, most ladylike
! looking foot, slender and delicate and
i refined, and wearing just the right
kind of a shoe for that occasion—not
a great heavy walking boot, and not
| a dancing shoe, bat just right. Of
J course, you don't expect me to tell you
just what it was. lam not in the shoe
j business, but I know when a girl wears
j a shoe that is in good taste.
| "This foot that I fell in love with
I saw just for an instant as the worn
] an to whom it belonged drew it up to
I the other step and the screen hid her
so that I hadn't the slightest idea who
| she was; young or old, hideous or
beautiful. But I made up my mind
I would find out. But you know how
it is in a room filled with people—it is
I not always easy to get across it. es
j pecially if all your friends are there.
| By the time I reached the screen I
almost gave up my foot for lost. You
can't see a woman's foot in these long
skirts she wears unless she is on the
street. I suppose my divinity must
have raised lier dress as she went up
the steps.
"I did find her after a time, but I
hail made a mistake. A man shouldn't
fall in love with less than two feet,
and he should see how they walk.
There is everything in the way a wom
an walks. The woman whose foot I
j had admired—her feet were beautl-
I ful. too —walked in a listless way.
J She drew one foot after the other, lan
| guidly. That might mean that she
was selfish, indo'n-nt, delicate or a
i number of other things. Just notice
women who walk that way and see if
I am not right.
| "Then notice the woman who walks
not exactly with a heavy step, but
comes down flatfuoted every time.
She would make a good business man
ager, and she might know how to man
age a housefull of servants, but she is
j too aggressive to he a comfortable
| person to get along with, it is all
right for a woman to have opinions of
! her own; I like to see a woman who
knows her own mind, and 1 would
| rather enjoy having her look after my
ideas if she cared to, but you don't
like to be knocked over even with
| ideas.
I "Then there is the woman who has
rather a heavy dragging step. That
woman is sure to have round shoulders
and stoop when she walks. She has
to take time to think when she an
swers, and it takes her a long time to
see a joke. She lias large feet, and
i her shoes do not fit trimly. That is
' not the kind of woman I care to know,
i Then there is the woman who shakes
| the room when she walks. She may
not be over plump, and she is very
likely cheerful and jolly. You like
her, but her chubby feet—they are
sure to be short and broad—are not
for you. She is a nice kind of wife
for some other man, and you like to
go and take dinner with him occas
ionally when you are in tile mood for
it, but she is not the ideal woman.
| "The ideal always wears trim, suit
[ able shoes, and she walks just as a
woman who has the Ideal feet, ideally
dressed, should. She is sure to have
, rather slender feet that look flexible
and make you think somehow of a
pretty slender hand well gloved. Her
shoes always fit her like a glove, any
' way. She does not wear great man
nish shoes around the street all the
time because they are said to he fash
l ionable. She only wears those with
a heavy, rough walking suit. For the
street she has a medium weight, trira
looHr™ boot, and for the house she
we rs pretty, soft, thin ones or pretty
slippers, anything, uccording to the
, occasion. There are times and sea
l sons for all kinds of hoots, shoes and
slippers.
I "I was on the Broadway car down
near the Battery the other day when a
plainly dressed woman was crossing
the street. When I saw her first every
one In the car, men and women, were
looking at her. What was the trouble,
do you suppose? She was holding up
her skirts a little, and so exhibited a
pair of what do yon call 'em, with high j
heels and a buckle in front?— Louis
j Quinze slippers, isn't it?
| "Now those are the prettiest thing
a woman with a pretty foot can wear
| in an appropriate place, but they were I
out of place down there, and there

The Opera "Martha."
Elmira, N. v., Advertiser, April Id, woo.
The prediction of a brilliant perform
ance (>r the opera "Martha" at tho Ly
ceum theatre last night by tho An
drews Opera Company was more than
fulfilled. A more delighted and enthu
siastic audience could,not be wished for
as the superb work of the entire organi
zation became apparent. The reason
why so small a hand as a single score
could produce such a volume of musical
sound, could be so full of vigor, preci
sion, melody and balance of harmony,
was because of the remarkable material
in tile combination. Every member of
it could sing wlt.li Intelligence and lire
and all were ambitious to do their best,
so that the happiest results were attain
ed. Such admirable work was inspiring
and won the vigorous plaudits of tho
house ropeatedly.
The orchestra Is entitled to warm
praise for its thoroughly professional
work. It was sympathetic and sustain
ing without obtrusion all the way from
the dalntest songs to the full chorus.
1 lie production was ono tube remember
ed long with great pleasure. At almost
any other season tho company will
pack the house. It Is a very highly
accomplished organization.
lloyt's "A Day Mini a Night."
Charles lloyt's latest contribution to
the stage. "A Day and a Night." is said
to be altogether the best thing that Mr
lloyt lias done for several years. The
bright snappy dialogue, amusing situa
tions and satirical hits, at tho expense
of everything and everybody hypocriti
cal, are in that popular play-Wight's
own vein. His good niitiirod thrusts at
the proverbial hypocracies of the human
race, afford much merriment, while the
entire construction of tin. farce comedy,
as a vehicle for entertaining specialties
by clever people, smack of "lloyt"of old.
Mr. lloyt's handy work Is no less ap
parent In the cast which will present
"A Day and a Night." as the following
names of the leading artists will show;
Frank Donne, William 11. Currie, War

Mart Regan, Sidney Mansfield, llattiJ

merit and ability, go to make up a sup
port of unusual excellence, I
