Urussisi« rvtuud UHIUW I I Cheering words come from the big trade and commercial agencies. "Bradstreet's" in it's current review of the state of trade says that fuller appreciation of the real extent of the appaling disaster at San Francisco has had a sobering effect upon the entire country, but it is recognized that the disturbance through unpre cedented!}' hurtful, has been confined to a comparatively small area of country, and the rest of the nation, contemplating as it does, prospects of bountiful crops, and another year jof great prosperity, finds itself alike willing and able to give treely of its abundance to help the stricken city and state. In the lust analysis it is felt that while the temporary effects upon the.for instance, prices of se curities and commodities has been depressing, it is likewise certain that replacement on a scale hitherto un known will give employment to within and without the section af fected and stimulate productive en ergies beyond measure. Dun's Review says that devas tation on the Pacific coast and a widened breach between anthracite coal miners and eperators were ad verse trade factors of grtve local significance, but the nation as a whole is responsive to the favorable influ ence of good weather for spring busi ness, agriculture undertakings and building operations—all of which are on a scale never before approach ed. There is a law in Pennsylvania providing that councils have the power to compel property owners to lay pavements and make necessary repairs. It might be well for our council to take advantage of this law. The law is as follows: Section 1. Be it enacted, it, That all boroughs are hereby authorized and empowered to direct jind require the grading, paving and repairing ufl all sidewalks on the streets of dpi borough, atid the construction ttlidJ repairing 01 curbs and gutters at ih®.' edge of the sidewalks by the bwrtw* or owners of the lot or lots of ground fronting thereon, in accordance with lite general borough regulations. Section (hi the refusal of the owner or owners of the lot or lots, as aforesaid, to comply with such re quirements and directions, tite offi cers t;f the boroughs may cause the grading, paving, repairing, curbing, rceurbing, guttering anil reguttering, as aforesaid, to be do te at the cost ot j such owner or owners of the lot or lots, and may collect the cost there of and ten per centum additional, to gether with all chargesand expenses 112 rom each owner or owners, and may illea municipal lien therefore against such lot or lots. Some noteworthy contributions have been made to the fund for the relief of the San Francisco sufferers, but the Pittsburg Press tells of the greatest ot all. Comment has been widespread up on the fact that John I). Rockefeller, worth anywhere front 500,000,1)00 to 31,000,000,000, s-nt his check for #IOO,OOO. Carnegie worth probably £100,000,000 also sent #IOO,OOO. Out in San l'rancisco ex-Mayer Pliehtn, who inherited one of the greatest fortunes of that modern metropolis, donated 1,000,000, and deserved trib utes have been paid to his generosi ty. But the greatest liberality that we have any knowledga of in con nection with the relief work, was displayed in a humble and unex pected qiuirti r. Titey passed the hat for the sufferers iti the Pittsburg Newsboys' sciioo: tin* other evening and the "gamins ' so.called chipped into the tune of yin. 0,10 hunlrod thousand dollars apiece from Car negie and Hoekefcllei.' \\ by it 1 isn't a circiiiii-tiince con. par til with ihc offering of Ih«-so Pittsburg news lie*.

The mayor of San Fran cisco ought to send these Pittsburg newsies an acknowledgement on San Francisco's official letter paper. Theirs is real heartfelt sympathy. Uncle Sam's postal inspector, A. R. Lucas of Williamsport, unravel ed a unique case at Shamokin last week. Monday afternoon a fourteen year old messenger boy for the Sha mokin postofflce started out to deliv er two special delivery letters. An hour later he returned to the office and told that he had been waylaid by two foreigners who took the let ters. After having spent all Tues day evening antl Wednesday morn ing investigating the alleged robbery and failing to find a single trace of the robber, Postal inspector Lucas cross ex amined the youth who claimed to have been held up, and after some time succeeded in induc ing the the boy to tell the truth about the matter. The lad finally confessed that he had lost the two letters and fearing to tell the post master, he had decided to tell the robbery story in an endeavor to cov er up his carelessness. Probably the highest prices ever paid for California cherries were realized last Monday at a Philadel phia commission merchant's estab lishments, when a box of the fruit was sold at auction for $2,440. The money was added to the Re lief Fund for the earthquake suffer ers. The cherries were the first re ceived this season from California, and a box of them was sold at auction, each cherry being offered for Fale singie. About live hun dred commission merchant's and Srs attended the sale. The first rv sold for $lO5 and the others for amounts ranging front §IOO :lot!*n to 50 cents. A new punishment has been in troduced in the Lancaster police court for juvenile delinquents. In stead of imposing fines on boys brought before hint for bad con duct, which in most cases have to lie paid by parents, Mayor McCus key, where the cases are not 11a grant, compels the offender to read aloud a chapter from the Bible. To the average bad J boy this would be more of a punishment than a fine would be, and the chances are that the reading may turn him from his evil path. Eleven thousand immigrants, many, 1.0 doubt, of the lowest class and wholly undesirable as citizens, arrived in this country in the port of New York recently. It is high time the immigration law* of this country were made more stringent,for at the present time we are getting the sen.ll of Europe and with it many of the worst criminal - the continent produces. I';:t up theluiis against this class, lot il t hoy are not good enough for Eu rope they are not good enough for us. As rural residents are experi menting the advantage of having mail delivered at their doors through the medium of free delivery they should help to facilitate the work of the rural carrier by having boxes conveniently located so that t lie currier will not be called upon to dismount to receive or deliver m iil from or to the boxes. If the people desire to co-operate ami help t luMnselves, it is up to litem to see ' that the carrier's work is helped by good roads. They will lie the gaiucr by them.

All but five of the counties have applied for the share of road money this year, as well as for their shares of the main tenance fund of $125,000. The dere lict counties are Dauphin, Jefferson, Juniata, Lebanon and Schuylkill and unless thev apply before May 1, their shares will revert to the general road fund, and will be added to the sum set apart to be divided up among'the counties next year. The posoflitce department has de cided that children going to and from school shall not be allowed to got their parent's mail, so do not blame the postmaster if your child ren are refused the mail. The postofflce habit among children has become a nuisance both to the pub lic and the postmaster, and the de partment has done wisely in mak ing this decision.

It has been discovered in Bran don Park at William sport, that an insect resembling the "ladyhug", is devouring the San Jose scale, displaying a voracious appetite for that destructive insect. As the la dybug is entirely harmless so far as fruit trees are eoncerncd£itj\vould be a great scheme if enough of flier.i could be seemed to exterminate the ravaging San Jose pests, although it might put the, State official bug hunters oat of business Under the new State Treasurer Berry, all school appropriations by the State will be paid on"timo.
