They are not an equally successful as teachers, but are all doing much more intellignt work than they would have done had they started out without any training. The Citv Treasurer reported a Daiance now on hand of $29,203 89.

Washington, March 5. The attemnt to get up a raid on the compact lines of Sen ator uay in nupes or defeating his re election is more likely to send a Democrat tbe Senate than any other Republican. This contest coming in a Presidential year might jeopardize the national ticket. It has therefore been requested by the Pennsylvania's here, in and out of Congress, and of the Republican persuasion, that it might be as well for the parties forcing these local distractions to take into their calculations some phase of the coBt politically speaking. The taut about Senator Quay's friends making overtures to members of the administration with a view to bringing the Senator and President Harrison in accord rot.

There has never been any discord in their personal relations. Therefore if the Senator has anything to say he can say it wnnout any intermediary agents. In regard to making the Graham appointment at Pittsburg one of the terms of certain, political support at the National Convention, it has been known ever since the start that Mr. Graham would not be appointed, but for other reasons than the tact tnat ne was endorsed bv Senators Cameron and Quay. RepresentativeStone and other supporters of Mr.

Graham made his case ridiculous by hastening to make explanations and apologies when they thought that the names of the Senators would rather be a disadvantage than a service. The chief trouble has been the bitterness of factions in Pittsburg as between tne irienqs or senator Ujuay and Mr. Dal zell, the Representative of the district. No appointment is proposed until after the district convention, and the side which wins will doubtless get the prize unless it goes to ope oi ine otner counties. On the.

Presidedtial Question Senator Quay was for Mr, Blaine because tbe peo ple of his State were for him. With Blaine out of the field he has always spoken of Gen. Harrison as the most likely and proper selection. Unautuor ized gossip has paraded him for Alger. He never, acknowledged the charge and thereby saved his reputation for political sagacity.

Had he not sought mimer xnimatc ne would have experi enced a serious illness, as shown by de velopments in his condition after he reached Florida. DxB. MOKE THAN HE CAN BEAR.

Lillian was a pupil in the Forty Fort public school. She was a bright, vivacious irl and stood at the head of her class. he was only ten years old. During the latter part of last week Lil lian and two other girls, named Lilne Hodges and Bessie an argu ment as to which one could jump rope the longest without tripping. Lillian, who was quite an expert.

thought she could beat her rivals. Tbe other two girls thought she couldn't. A contest was begun on Thursday afternoon at recess, and it was continued the next day. The Weeks girl, so it is said, jumped 040 times without making a slip, Her rivals could not do near so good. Lillian felt' much flattered over her vic tory.

Beyond tbe fact that the girl was a little flushed over her victory, she apparently was no worse in health for it. 1 he next day, however, the child was taken sud denly ill. A physician was called and he did all in his power to relieve the little one's sufferings. She lingered until late last night when she died, a victim of peritonitis.

Fbom Chicago there will go out during the next eighteen months invitations to the people of the land to invest money in every sort of humbug imagination and cupidity can devise.

Gossip says to the "dear people," Beware Beware of the Chicago man who has something he wants to give away, who professes to be tying awake nights devising schemes to put money in your purse by giving you something for nothing. Ducats to peanuts he is doing nothing of the kind. If he is scheming, all the chances are in favor of his schemes being for your discomfiture. He is after your cash, and he means to get it unless you are very wise. Don't help him by buyinga pig in a poke.

Don't help him by sending money to the Windy City, no matter how promising the offer, nor how fair the proposition. Chicago, we repeat, is after your cold cash, and will get it if you are not very sharp. And while on this subject Gossip would respectfully suggest to Chief of the De Sartment of Publicity and Promotion, Mr. loses P. Handy, and Director General George Davis, that the fewer times their names appear as endorsements of money making schemes, using the Columbian Exhibition as a rider, the better it will be for them.

The Exhibition will be sufficiently advertised without the aid of local dealers in Chicago, and if these local dealers have anything meritorious to sell, whether in the shape of pictures of the Exhibition, or hotels, or omnibuses, let them advertise them and pay for it, but don't let it be done through the Columbian Exhibition. For the sake of decency, don't display your anxiety for the almighty dollar quite so nakedly. See An item of more than ordinary interest in this evening's Telegraph is the new list of studies for the high school, to be pursued in the new building when it is occupied. The committee in charge of the preparation of this important matter has very ably performed its duties, and so thoroughly that a college man, glancing over the list to day, said that a graduate of Harrisburg's high school, after going through any one of the courses, could enter any college without further preparation. Somebody may learn a lesson in the story that a little Luzerne county girl jumped the skipping rope oyer 800 times and went home and died from over exer tion.

The little folks of this city are just now actively engaged in this exercise, and parents cannot be too severe in trying to prevent just such actions as caused the death of the little Luzerne girl. Oa a certain block in Harrisburg there are twentv one handsome young ladies, all of a marriagable age. This is leap rear, and any young man found loafing around that block will lay himselt open to the suspicion that he is waiting for lightning to strike him.
