Bless their dear hearts they were watching for the newsboy long befoie the iime 101 mm to sing "Leader that refrain so dear to the gossip lover. And after reading, they rushed to the woman next door as if her life depended on the information they had to impart. The dear women, how anxious they are for the welfare of your humblo sei vaut.

Some of them wondered who had had such ''goins on." One looked at the other and each said: "Not "No one's been here." Yes, the Sunday Lkadeb jras a dandy, but it is not to praise it the correspondent began to write ta-day. It speaks for itself. That item about the "goins on" caused no end of talk. It was only the smart girls and those who are not so smart who felt keenly over the matter. The letter was addressed to them and not to the people with whom they live.

The people with whom girls live "nowadays" do not count, except in rare cases, bo far between that Diogenes' lanteru" is needed to find them. One respected lady living Just a little- beyond'- the town line she delivered herself of this sermon on Sunday morniugeven before she went to church. He should attend to his own busiuosss. He should remember lie has children of his own. Just as If a follow could forget he had a lot of innocents to look arter.

Now then, to the point, uont you think it is the correspondent who will bear the burden if his children go wrong? Will the dear kind lady "Throw Oitf the Life Line" if she poos them drifting away Or will she just smile because away off in the past their Pa held up to the light some little case in which the public might be interested. Very probably it might be rthe latter. What havetiie children to do with the newsof the anyway? They will take all the chances. J. hia is said with sincere thanks to the lady so kind as to remind us ot the possibility of their going wrong.

For the benetlt of this lady and aa tne people of Parsons It can be stated now thnt-the girl to whom this trouble bus come with an its sorrow, enrue to mrsons less than six month ago. The family with whom she lived is the most respected in Parsons or out of Parsons. They had no-thing whatever to do with her misfortune. That occurred many miles from here. Some say she is married others that she is not, among these a few people who pretend to know all about it.

The Leadku sani last Sunday "there Is no doubt her life was wrecked before she camo to J'arsoiis." Wfccifrhls'e-f wrtpwftdtmtsays the -ia na doubt about a thing, there is no doubt. Therefore it is very much to be regretted some ignorant person or persons would try by Intimation or otherwise to place the burden of responsibility on any one hereatotrt. After the task is completed and ere the fruits ot the toil have begun to dispense a happiness, when the hardest part of the ork la done and we expect to' Mud rest, it often happens that the toiler is called home. Called to leave friends doar and kind and true. Just when they want to stay aud we need then most, for the sunshine they give, wa are suddenly bereft of the joy and comfort of iiie.

It was so in tlie home of John Morgan when his partner in sorrow and joy was taken away called hence just at a time when he aud their children hud learned to love her most." Mrs. Morgarrtiad been a faithful wife, a constant companion, a good mother, a friend true in time of affliction aud a patient nurse in tinieot sickness. Just when the home they had toiled to win was secure, just when the children had grown to love her most, she was taken away. They laid her remains in tho cemetery yesterday amid tears ami regrets, but her good life will be remembered as one to imitate in the long years to come. Now it is Burgess Kenny.

Now It is tha age of progress, when youthful vigor aud energy is to be injected into alTairs. With a council in which none of the members are old, and a burgess scarce turned 25, the town should boom.

Will McGoarty, a conductor on the Par sons line and Abram Headley are at law. One evening last week Mr.

Headley was going to Wilkes-Barre on a late car and according to the story as told by Mr. Mc- Groarty used abusive language. On anal street opposite Mr. Scneids hotel Ueadly was ejected Trom the car and his fare returned. A fow days afterward Deadly swore out a warrant be- tore Squire Davis that McGroarty and Ihe uei extra headlight and warning gong, going at about seven miles an hour, and tha ab solute! noiseless bicycle with its pneu matic tire and nine times out of ten no bell, and not one rider in a hundred carry- ins a lamp, and going at peea oi nrceen to twenty miles an hour? Think of the UQTe innocents that might run into the centre of the street and one of these racers dash into them.

an awful thing. a Pure spring water and fruit syrups, at Durbin's Jveystque Pharmacy. The dry goods boxes in front of Man-gan's meat market have supplanted O'Con-nell's Iudiaa, Harris' dummy and De-vevey's famous log. No longer these old stamping grouuds have charms so endearing to the average night rounders as Mangan tete-a-tete, as thoso nightly in charire like to call it. What the great a- traction is here i3 hard to solve, but here the old rounders from all sections of the town gather and unfold their tale of domestic inifelicity, political troubles o-struggles with the bloated corporations.

It seems that a number of the fellows in town who have political bees buzzing in theirnodille have been -informed oi no cosmopolitan makeup of the Muu-r. tete-a-tete gatherings aud have late'y l-gan to shy about and unscrew their po 1 tical wheels, which are aching for a run. On Thursday nitfht big, good-natured, blustering Tom Tonipleton appeareil before the usual gathering nt Munaan's in company with his trainer, D. Piatt Keoso. As is well known Toui had a small bee buzzing in his bonnet for politicil preferment and lleese has been so continually coaxing it with sugar that, it now is of ati every day watch size and lonican oo no; so ne nas wiBKiy conciuueu to let ttiis delusive little insect have its way.

even if it leads him liito a drowning flood at the lirst onslaught. When Tom appeared at Fort Mangan he looked in lino fettle. He did Hot wait for an introduction, but as soon, as Fuller Hendertihot had completed mi addass on Free Silver he started out follows: "Gentlemen, should the alln-ite citizens of this iirowiiig municipality and in- dilsftrious mining camp which is noted for Its elm trjcs, aguc-breetllng swamps Hickorv" aud the irrepressible lip. elect mo thoir ctiief iiiagistrate I will some mivements that will opcnlhe eyea if the- staid-old-moaa-backs with amazement. On the summit of i'win House Hill" I will cause to be erect ed a meteorolosicul box and therein will place in chiiive mv trusted sdentiilc friend, Evan fay Jones.

Evan bus a sharp eye ami a uoee that will scent a storm a hundred miles away. I have two objects in this move, One is to get Evan out of the immense swirl of nolitics and from being bled by hungry constables and the the other is to give the oe-iple in my juris- dMionTiisufariw from siren appalling MtastropDies rrora dynamic, agencies as occurred at St. Louis. The people of my town have been dreading a visitation of this nature owing to the oppressive heat which hangs over Commercial alley aud Jobrtown in the summer nifntiis. Now snouTJllHslocaTXreeze assume a "rotary motion It would most assuredly cause mourning and ruiti in the vale of old Shawnee." Tom was interrupted with applause and after imbibing a little fresh air ho went on.

"Gentlemen, my next move will lie to surround myself in office with trn.sted officials men who are sober, mural and that can stay out late nights without twisted in a dazed condition about the poles of the water company With this end in view I have decided to place at the head of my police force Ivor Jones. Ivor is a little weighty for the position, but with a little brush rubbing aud an hour's practice with Indian clubs each day, by the time his terra of offli bein3 he wiil-be in prime condition; physically: and just bold enough to a'lj dignity to the position. Should my friend Gwiliiam lose his. light toilha Legislature, lie will be my chief secretary with the privilege of taking my exalted office during my absence from town. I knew I will be absent a great deal the first few months, as it is my intention to visit Mayor Strong, of New York City, Mayor Warwick, of Philadelphia, and mayor Ouincev, of Boston, to ascer tain their methods of conducting city affairs and giving my people ttie benetlt.

"Who'll be your dog catcher, your Honor?" asked Councilman Moore, who stood in the shade of Max Plessitt's doorway. "My dog catcher," responded Tem-pleton with a look ot surprise-, ''my dog catcher will bo Harrison Harvey. He is the only official that will hold over. His modus operandi is O. K.

and if lie Is given full power there will not a mongrel or a puppy in the borough limits within ten iteys after liuisLifd his little speech by saying that he had the best of teeling for his opponent, Morgan lievan, and afterward win the contest, lie would secure a gross of Morgan's Peace in the Family to give to wile beaters that would be brought before him for trial.

Should this happen, tnd no Rood reason can be adduced why it should not, oolliery employes would be is contented as bank presidents, notwithstanding the dangers that surround their rooation.

Smiles would be universal and storekeepers would be happy also. During the week the daily issue of this paper stated that a typhoid fever epidemic was imminent here.

MINERS MILLS. resume the thread of the narrative where it was broken off by the heat of last Saturday night, said thread being a reference to the teaching force of Miners Mills. The question Is repeal Why change the teachers? Of course it is not certain as yet there will ba any changes made.

The school directors of Miners Mills are intelligent men even if they are ambitious. They cannot fail to see that a change would bo distasttous the schools. The teachers have held tholr respective positions for some time, they know every detail of the business, they know every child as well ns his or her special traits ot character, demise a man is elected to office, Is not a reason why he should exploit his personal likes or dislikes. His prefer-ment as a public servant was secured be cause It was hoped he would serve the. people, not him-elf.

It would be uU to find better teachers than we have here. There is no danger5 of their being removed. At least one Wilkes-Bar rean has faith In the town's future. Just think of a merchant" buying eight-acres ot Html to- sell it out in building lots. He will soli every lot in that vicinity because he Is going to lot them go at popular prices, uesiues ue Is going to Improve tho price, mane and grado streets, pave the guttors, etc.

The Wilkes-Barre merchant accustomed to the improvements enjoyed In the oity will make a garden spot of Miner's Mills. Now let Mr. Hollenback do likewise with all that piece of land along the main road to the city line. II. T.
