"Now that anothersummer is upon us," sail the perennial crank, "let me urge upon you newspaper men that you have an opportunity to do a great act of philanthropy for many hundreds of New Yorkers whose Incomes will not allow them to spend the dog days out of the heated city, by persuading some capitalist to fit np a big steamer for a hotel. There's money iuifc.

"Get a big steamer, or, better still, build one with plenty of roomy staterooms, well ventilated, with ample diuing, smoking and lounging saloons, and two or three decks for promenade and chairs. Charge tbe customary summer hotel rates, and let the steamer have a pier near the Battery. Let her start from that pier every eve ning at the close of business and steam slowly out of the bay while her guests are at dinner. Then let her touch her pier again in time for those who want to spend tbe evening on shore. After these people are landed on the pier let the steamer put out from the shore and Bteam slowly about in the cool evening air, while her passengers amuse themselves in ber saloons and staterooms and on ber decks just as people do in hotels.

Just a little before midnight let the steamer steam np to her pier and take on board those people who have been at the theaters, and then drop away down tbe bay again for the night. "What refreshing and invigorating sleep a man could get in that salty air. Quiet and order could be preserved on board Just as well as In a hotel, and in the morning passengers could be landed fresh for business, while those who had no business in the city could spend the whole day on board if they liked. "There need be little unpleasant bumping and noise of machinery, as only enough steam would need to be kept np to insure steerage way. No one would look for speed.

The expenses would be as small as any other city hotel's, and I am certain that people would just tumble over each other to get charters on the ship. On those rare occasions when tbe water was too rough or the wind too boisterous the ship need not leave her pier at all, as the atmosphere would be cool enough then down by the Battery to render the night agreeable. "Think of the thousands of New Yorkers who must stay in the reeking hot city all summer. How they would jump at such a boarding house! I tell you there's money in it for the first capitalist that takes it up." New York Tribune. British Eccentricity.

It Is bard for an Englishman to say whether his own countrymen are really more eccentric than other people. He ia told they are; but how is be to know that the information may not be built solidly upon prejudice? Tbe saying, "Oh, he's an Englishman," with the shrug of the shoulders that means so much, is often indeed commonly put forward abroad when there is talk of the doings of this or that man, whose ways are not like the ways of tht herd of mankind. Some Englishmen don't appreciate this sort of thing. They get In a rage with the foreigner who charges them with being of an eccentric race. But, for my part, I always take it as a compliment, bow and express my obligations and assure tha speaker that I trust he does not Intention ally flatter me and the countrymen of whom I am so proud.

On the other hand, however, every one who has been even but for a few months among the people of the Continent can not help coming to the conclusion that ws English folk have not the monopoly of ec centricity. All the Year Bound. Lovers at a Baseball Game. It may have been the rain that hoodooed the Oaklands, or perhaps it was that touching little scene from "Romeo and Juliet" enacted in one of the boxes. Along about the middle of the game some one in the grand stand discovered the simper ing, sad eyed lovers in the act of plighting tbeir troth in the box.

They had evidently wandered In from the Alfalfa girded regions round about Milpitas to take in the Decoration Day exercises. Then somebody steered them out to the ball park, where they placed themselves on exhibition in their great two hearts that beat as one act. In plain sight of 4,000 people and the players they sat lovingly clasped in each other's arms, thinking thoughts too utterly utter for worias. First he would raptur ously kissvthe maiden and then gaze down into the sweet, soulful depths of herlovelit eyes, and sbe would bury her face in his celuloid collar and sigh like a bathtub ex haust. "Does her love her 'ittle tootseyf" he would exclaim with all the fervency of Which a strong man is capable.

"Well, I should gurgle, Petie," and the listening winds wafted the answer to the eight thousand expectant ears in the grand stand. They took no interest whatever in the game as they sat in silent bliss, utterly oblivious to the shouts of "Shut the door" and "Break away." Both audience and players forgot the game for three innings while watching the unconscious young couple in the box. Once, while the uproar was at its height, Borneo tore himself away from Juliet's Bide long enough to go out on the balcony and ascertain, if possible, the cause of the excitement. He glanced down toward the score board, thinking, perhaps, that some important news had just arrived from San Jose. He then returned to the impatient maiden, who had not been kissed for nearly two seconds, and made it as pleasant foi her as he could.

Not until the game was over did ths young folks learn that their sacred seance in tbe box had been exposed to the vulgar gaze of a cold, unfeeling world. As they were leaving the park some one exclaimed, "There they are." and tbe crowd gave them a vigorous round 01 applause, ine gin wound a veil around her crimson cheeks, and Romeo instinctively felt in his girdle for a dagger with which to stab himself to death.

HILL'S CRAYON 120 E. Genesee Syracuse, N. Y. StterifT's Proclama tion. General Election Proclamation.

Pursuant to an Act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, entitled "An act relating to tne elections in tbe commonwealth." approved the second dav of Julv Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and thirtv Dine. and also the Acts approved the thirtieth day of one thousand eight hundred and seventy four, aud the Amended Constitution, it is made the duty of the sheriff of every county within the Commonwealth to give notice of the time of holding general elections, and in such notice to enumerate: First The officers to be elected. Second Designating the places at which the the elections are to be held. Therefore. 1, Robert P.

Robinson, High Sheriff of Lu zern county. In the Jommnnweatth of Pennsylvania, do hereby make known and give notice hj me electors 01 me county arores ia tbst an election will be held in the said county of Lu zerne on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and ninety one, at willed time persons will be voted for bv ballot at the several el ctlon districts es. tblihed by law in said county to fill the follow ing omces: One per on to fill tho office of Auditor General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. One person to fill the offloe of Htate Treasurer of the Commonwealth of One person to fill the office of additional Law urige or tne courts or tiuzsrne county. At thi Stste conv Ptioj of the mi Cbri tim Tmpwanc i fJ jion tir ld i.i Ii vi ford this week, one of the most in tores ing subjects pregrnted was ibat of schorl viiigq bar hy Mrs 3 L.

Oisrbi Iz Nati inal supcri'itetdeut cf this branch of the orlt 3'e raid that tbe syste of school savings anks is now i'j use i 1 2 0 sriVMn in If rent sections of the itd State in P. nnaylvania hive i to Ir since 1890, and are enthui tic in their approval. 1'otUiown reports for Ike yn.r ending J.inuiry, 1891, 1130 depositors aid $8,289 to tbeir credit iu tbe savings batik, over $2,000 having bsen withdrawn at intervals by the pupil j.

About two lbirds of the scholars are depasitors, and tbe; Barm to take great interest in it.

As jet no of the schools in this section of the have taken up the sibjct of savings banks, but they might do so with much pre fit. It ia a scheme that is destined to grow, and ie that can not help but re ult in good in teachirg the young tbe value of money and the best methods of taking care of it after it Las been accumulated. Io towns tbe siz; of Pittston there aro a large number of poor women who are obliged to earn their living by sewing snd knitting, while not a Lw of limited means also resort to the needle as a meana of increasing their income. Tbe one great difficulty, however, labor of this character is to dispose of the product readily after it is fhisbbd. Many towns Lave overcome this difficulty by providing a place wbere women who desire to do so may, by the ptyment of a small sum monthly, have their goods for sale.

Those need of articles in tha line abeva mentioned can go to the place designated and there find perhaps the very thing tney are in search of Thus the scheme, which is called a "Woman's Exchange," is doub beneficial It hu been decided to open one here, a number of our prominent ladies having interested themselves the movement Headquarter have been establiabed at Mis Kate Sx's p'aee of business on Exeter street, aod everything 11 be ready to begin work about tbe first of Nov ember. Mist Sax and Mrs. Nellie DeWitt have been ulectel as managera and the following named lad iea are among the patronesses Mrs. A. Mcl eWitt, Mrs.

B. Bennett. The plan is a good one, and if tbe exchange is properly managed as it doubtless will be, seeing that it is in such excellent hands: it cannot but be of great benefit bath to tbe producer and to tbe buyer Waddell A coal operators, are interested io a peculiar suit, nys iheWilkesbarro Times." The firm ships Isrge consignments of coal from its colliery in Lux rne to Ball Bros, 10 Buff ilo. The latter firm sells to jobbers and retailers. Several months sgo Ball Bros, made a big contract with Douglass Beardsley, rich coal dealer at Auburn.

After large quantity of tbe coal had been delivered Beardsley put In a cla for damagu, claiming the coal wu of such poor quality that it jured hia business. Beardsley's claim for damagu ia very large aod if he wins the can it will be a crushing blow to Ball Bros who are young men not very long in the business and with an excellent reputation, though not a heavy capital. Toe cua is being tried this week before a jury composed of farmers, who koow no more about the mining aud prepara tion ot coal for market than they do of ship building. This feature makes the outcome doubtful. The Wilkesbarre "Times" ctlls attention to tbe fact that Lyman Haku Bennett belongs to a family of judges and lawyers.

His grandfather, Hon. Lyman Hakes, wu appoint ed io 1841 by Governor Seward, iudae of Delaware County, N. T. His commission ia io the bands of Hon Harry Hakes, his young est son. Judge Hku bad a family of four sons, throe of whom were lawyers, Hon, Hario ttakes or Horoeilsville, a.

Harry Haku of this city, aod two daughters, each of whom became the mother of lawyers, Lyman Haku MoCall, son of Caroline McCall, and Lyman Hakes Bennett, son of Minerva Hakes bennett r. Bennett's only sister married Hon. Rodney Dunoia, a prominent lawyer of Horoeilsville.

Judge Hak of California, ia a cousin of Mr. nnett, and wu a class mate of George R. Bedford, of ibis city, at the Albany law school. Mr. Bennett hu an uncle, D.

Bennett, a lawyer of Saratoga, N. and Col John T. Bennett, of Chicago, outer of chancery in the United 8tates courts for the Northern District of Illinois, is a cousin. Mrs. Hannth Haku Gary, the sister of Hod.

Ly man Hakes, wu the grandmother of )D. 0 E. Rice, president judge of Luzwne County. These facts are from Kulp's history of Wy oming, and are peculiarly interesting at this time, whni L. H.

Bennett, Esq is a judicial candidate. The Towanda "Review" says that a Pull man car wu cut off a Lehigh Valley west bound train at Wilkesbarre, because then was no steam heating apparatua in the car, the laws of New York prevent stove heating in that State. The State bu passed and en forced many laws for the safety of paaseigen and eanpbyea, prominent among wbich this one requiring all railroad can to be heat ed by steam. Another is tbe law which gou into effect in a law months, abolishing four wheel cars, and requiring that all coal can be equipped with couplers which can.be operat ed without endangering the hands, arms and livu of employee. The prompt investigation of accidents by a State commission, also placing blame where blame belongs and re commendations which will tend to prevent them in the tun Is a good featun.

It would be a grand thing if the Legislature of Pennsylvania woald ba equally watchful for the safety of railroad passenger iu this State. The remarks of Judge Woodward 00 the road question, in his sddreu to the Grand Jury, Monday, were timely. He dwelt par ticularly upon the bad condition of Ihe highways throughout tbe county, and sought to impress upon tbe jury tbe importance of having them placed in repair. It is to be hoped that the Grand Jury will consider well tbe Judge's suggestions, and act upon them. There is nothing Ihst is of so much benefit to tbe traveling pualic good roads, snd the county authorities abould see that tbe township officials do their duty in this respect.

Golden Wedding at Wyoming. An interesting event that haa somehow es caped the vigilance of the reporters until now, wu tbe golden wedding celebration of Mr. sod Mrs. John M. Stark, old residents of Wyoming, which took place on the 16th inst.

Mr. and Mrs. Stark celebrated the half century anniversary of their marriage with a family reunion, which wu attended by their six children as follows Stark and Mrs. W. H.

Shoemaker, of Wyoming; Mrs. Dr. Warner, of Wilkesbarre, and Mrs M. H. Stevens, Mrs.

The Commissioners All Bight. The Wilkesbarre ''Record" says that the county commissioners do not appear at all frightened at the man's nut discovered by the biard of revsoue commissioners at Harris burg on Wednesdiy. Oo thi contrary they claim that when the matter is explained the officials of the State departmeo will Aod that the alleged discrepancy in the ntnrn of personal property tax is 00 discrepancy at all They are ready to respond to any qutst iocs that may be put to them regarding this mat (er, and an confident that when the full truth a known it will be seen that the present board have savtsl the county over eleven thousand dollara by their 1891 report.

The return of personal propertv valuation for 1890 wu $7,471,163 on which, after de ducting the exonerations and commissions the county treasurer turned in to the State mill tax of $32,157 45. There wu actually collected however, only $11,382 68, leaving a deficiency of $10,17487, which wu paid to the State, although not collected. Tbe balance came out of the county treasury and repre aanted just that amount of money paid to the State on taxu which had not bun received by the county From this it will be readily seen that toe leso assessments were exces sive, that the report to the secretary of in ternal affaire represented more taxu assessed than were collected by the county. The commie doners determined to nmedy this defect in the report of 1891, and they took special pains in its preparation, giving only the exact amount of collectible taxu. As a natural consequence the variation dropped frrm $7,476,253 in 1890 to' $4,890 986 in 1891 and it wu this difference that aroused the suspicions of the revenue commissioners.

Loot In. 'r Naw Fair Grounds.

The committee is to look up these grounds, learn whether or not they can be purchased, and if they can, the prices, and report to the ciety at a muting to be held on kfooday, Nov. 9.h. A committe was also appointed to audit Ibe books of the officers for tbe pMt three years and report at the next muting. Tbe society ia said to be in good financial condition.

Barrett, ho of Uti ra boo de votirg considerable attention to railrrad anr mine surgery hu devised an emergei cy ur gica' cabinet for mine and railroad us. The cabinet ia twenty inches in tare and i divided into several compartments each ot wbich contains surgical dressiog instruments, medicines etc, of a einpU character and yet auffijient to per fectly dress any it jury The beamy the nff iir is that tin arrangement of the cabinet and the dressings re of such a nature that they can be applied by any person of ordinary intelligence. Of course the cabinet not ny any means intended to take the place of the services of a physician but is to used io the interval between tbe occur rence of an accident and the arrival of a doctor. Tne physician, too, will find the cabinet a great benefit, for it is often he arrives at tho scene of accident without the rrqoHite sppliances care for the injured end it will be very gratifying lo him to find everything he might require at hand. The cabinet contains medi cine for relief of pain, stimulants in case of shock from it juries, medicated cotton aod an prrpnate dressings for wounds, needles, threat, scissors, knife, needle holder, bandage, dressings for burns, a variety of splints and many other articles which may be quired and which will be tbe means of saving many a life.

Ii hu become understood fact that many lives are lost the delay ia attending to the it ired. Lss blood, shoct, the entrance of po'sonous substances, eta, into wouods, often through neglect, result in death, when it at ended to early, might be averted. Humanity de mands that such a contrivance this should be kept at hand when accidents are constantly taking place Several mine owners whose attentioo hu been called to Btrrett'a eontrivance have been favorably impressed with it and have ita now der consideration. Mesers Cake and DnWitt, of the Clear Spring colliery, wero the first to adopt the cabinet. They ordered one almost the moment it wu shown them and the eontrivance will be placed their breaker next week We set aee the cabinet in the near futun placed in every mine, factory and railreai train in the country.

Dr. Barrett has made application for a patent on tbe cabinet. A Mfatary Partially Cleared Up. Two yean ago this winter Thomas Aroitt, well known resident of Harvey'a Lake, disappeared suddenlv from home. Readers of tbe Gazette may remember the circumstances when they aro recalled.

Arnitt lived clou the lake and one morning he left hia home, presumably to go to his work on a farm clou by. He was walking along a road at the side the lske, bat nothing further wu seen or heard of him. Parties searched the woods and the lake for weeks, but all in vain. No trace of the missing man was found, and io time the excitement over his disappearance died away. Now mes the sequel Tuesday morn ing several men wero out hunting for chest nuts in a piece of woods not far from the lake.

There'. while wandering about, they came upon the skeleton of a man. to which hung shreds cf clothing snd flsh. Investiga tion revealed tbe presence of a email note book, on wbich wu written the name 'Thomu Arnitt," and then it wu that the discoverers of the bones learned that they had come upon the remains of the man who had dUappearod so long ago. Arnott's fam iiy, who livu but a short distance from the spot where the doom were found, had them taken care of.

How Aroitt met hia death is a mysteiy that perhaps will remain unsolved There aro many theoriu advanced, but there is not the slightest evidence that would go to ahow by what means he lost his life Death of Mrs. Lowe. Mrs Clarinda Lowe, after an illness of near I two years, passed to her final rest Wed nesdsy afternoof, at her home on Washing ton 8t She wu a very great sufferer curing the put year 8be underwent a crtical operation at the Wilkesbarre Hospital last winter, and hope wu entertained, whea she had sufficiectly recovered to return home, that she would be restored to her usual health, but the dread diseau that terminated her life had taken so firm a hold upon the system thst st her advanced age the physicians could promiss no hope All that medical skill could do for her, and everything that her devoted daughters and willing frieods could contribute 10 her com fort, wero done, but it wu only a question of enduraxce and tbe end came peacefully Mrs. Lowe wu one of the oldest residents of West Pittston. 8he was 64 yean of age.

Some fifteen yean ago she united with the First Bap ist Church, and wu one of the con itituent members of Ihe Luzerne Avenue Bap tist Church. She wua woman of deep convictions, scrupulously exact and con BCieniicui in all her affairs, a loving mother, warm friend, and a kind neighbor. Three diughters survive her Mrs. James Mayo, Mrs Lou McDonald, of Los Angeles, aod Miu Stella V. Lowe.

Mrs. McDonald spent a pxiion of but winter with her mother, and came out hero again last sum ner, aince which time she hu remained with her sister Stella in constant attendance at the sick bed.
