Mrs. Alice Bloom and Mrs. Kate Ziegler * spent Friday at the hospitable home of H. F. Houtz. The raspberry crop is a failure but the blackberries and huckleberries promise to be plentiful. The barley and oate is slowly ripening and it will be only a few days until they are ready to cut. R. F.

From the New York Sun, With interest and some surprise we learn from our herbiverous friend, tbe Vegeta- rian, tbat the Hon. Robert Marion Ia Follette of Washington, Wisconsion and Chautauqua is a berbivore. Can all that fire and smoke be fed with grass alone ? Such an eager and conten tions spirit should be nourished on curries and peppers and tabascas and salamauder iced and kidneys and things deviled dev- ilishly. The caliph of Oyster Bay hunts mighty game, from grizzlies to Harrimans; lives, apparently, on red meat and plenty of it :a born carnivore and an animalicide. But to think that carrots and spivach and radishes feed the Badger Roosevelt, Bob the Corporation Killer ! The Vegetarian looks forward to the bap- y day when ‘‘the use of flesh and fish pro- ucts”? will be ‘‘barred in the White House.” Down with the Meat Trust! Down and out with the meat! We don’t know what's to become of the butchers ; bat they will be no worse off than other millionaires, for Robert will certainly be Robert the Devil to predatory wealth. The Vegetarian remarks that Mr. La | Folette is ‘‘a man of the Roosevelt tem- per,’’ who is “‘able to control bimself’’ be- cause his system of stoking is better and cooler. If Mr. La Follette becomes the Republi. can candidate for president Mr. Fairbanks | will be the inevitable candidate for vice | president. Grass and Buttermilk! Back to Nature! Letter to 8, HH. Willams, ‘Belletonte, Pa. Dear Sir: The Trustees of Fair Gronud, Cobleskill, N. Y., were glad to pay 15 cents a gallon more for Devoe; and no wonder. Two other paint agents said it would take 150 gallons of their paint to cover the buildings. Ou agent put it at 125 or less. It took We saved them 35 gallons of paint and painting (worth $4 to §5 a gallon, as the painting costs two or three times as much as the paint) less 15 cents a gallon on 115 gallons. Say $140. That's how to count the cost of paint. The cost of putting it on is $3 or $4 a gal- lon. You see what that means. Go by Devoe. Yours troly F. W. DEvoE & Co. 35 New York.

Chester, Pa., July 22—Mrs. James Mocre, of North Providence, is in a serious condition as the result of being gored by an enraged bull, which would have killed her but for the timely ap- pearance of her husband, who beat off the animal with a pi rk.

Bethel, Me., July 22.—Fright, follow- ing the partial collapse of a circus tent here during a severe electrical and wind storm, 18 as thé cause of the death of Mrs Fannie Mercier. During the hurrféd exit of the people from the circus grounds in the rain and ( , an elephant shed the automobile in which Mrs. ercler was sitting go as to turn it completely around.

SOME OF THE PRIZES AWARDED Philadelphia, July 19.—The parade of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks here was marked during its progress by the prostration from heat of an army of persons estimated by the police and hospital authorigies at 2500. Never has there been such’ a wholesale prostrating of people in the city. For gix hours the police, ambulance sur- geons and the Red Cross nurses were kept on the run looking after persons who collapsed under the scorching rays of the sun, and largely because of their excellence, so far as can be learned, but three cases resulted fa- tally. Every attention was given to the spectators to see that they were pro- tected, but it required four hours for the marchers to pass a given point, and the eager people stood in the hot sun for two hours or more before the parade started. The total number In the line of march is conservatively es- timated at 20,000 men, with about 125 floats. About 100 lodges from cities and towns from the Atlantic to the Pacific participated in the parade. There were 10 divisions, and were under command of Chief Marshal John P. Sullivan, of New Orleans, grand esquire of the Elks. The Philadelphia lodge, the host of the occasion, had the right of line, with 1800 men. The New York lodge followed. Baltimore lodge, No. 7, had 300 men in the parade. They were attired in neat white naval uniforms and were accompanied by the Fifth Regiment band, of Maryland. Boston lodge, No. 10, received a big ovation all along the line. The 80 men were attired as staid Puritans and each one carried a pot of beans. Pittsburg lodge, No. 11, had 90 men in the procession. They wore full dress suits, with cape coats. The capes were thrown back, revealing the purple silk lining. The Pittsburgers were accom- | lining. Harrisburg lodga, No. 12, had 160 men in line, wearing blue serge suits and straw hats with purple and white bands. White and purple handkerchiefs just peeped from their upper left-hand coat pockets. Each man carried a cane with a pennant bearing the number of the lodge. The first division was brought to a glittering close by the combined lodges of Denver and Ouray. There were 100 of the Colorado Elks in line, dressed as cowboys. From leather straps to red shirts, and from cartridge belts to murderous looking 44s, they looked the wild and woolly west. They made a great hit, as did the big sight seeing automobile of Colorado girls that brought up the rear. The committee on contests and awards announced the following prize awards: Lodges making the best appearance in line-—First prize, $300, Toledo; sec: ond prize, $150, Detroit; third prize, $100, El Paso.

J., July 20.—Cap- tain August Azzali, leader of the Mex- ican band, which organization accom- panied the El Paso, Tex. lodge of Elks to Philadelphia, was drowned while bathing at the foot of Texas ave- nue. Life guards made strenuous ef- forts to save Captain Azzali, but be- fore they could get him into the life- boat he had swallowed so much water that the physicians could not revive him. Captain Azzall, accompanied by the members of his band, came down to the seashore Friday. EMPEROR ABDICATES Ruler of Korea Forced to Step Down By Japanese.

RAILROAD MEN DISCHARGED Penalty Clause of Rate Law Declared Unconstitutional. Asheville, N. C., July 23.—The penal- ty clause of the new rate bill was de- clared unconstitutional and void United States Judge Pritchard. J H. Wood, district passenger agent of the Southern, and C. Wilson, the ticket agent of the same road, who were re- cently sentenced to 30 days on the chain gang for violation of the law, were discharged on habeas corpus pro- ceedings. In his decision Judge Pritchard said that the penalties inflicted by the sta- tute would close the doors to a judicial hearing and would amount to two and a half miilion dollars a day if the pen- alty was enforced on the sale of each ticket, which is eight times more the amount involved in the origi suit. Also that it could do violence to the comity which exigts between state and federal courts. While not imput- ing any improper motives to officials or state courts, Judge Pritchard re- marked that if such a course of con- duct was permitted to be pursued it would have the effect of defeating the jurisdiction of the United States courts. THIRTY KILLED IN WRECK 103 Others Injured In Crash Between Excursion Train and Freight. Salem, Mich., July 22.—Thirty peo- ple are dead, and more than 103 in- jured, many of them seriously, as the result of a head-end collision between an excursion train from Iona to De- troit and a freight, in a cut located at a sharp curve of the Pere Marquette railroad, about a mile east of Salem. The passenger train of 11 cars, carry- ing the Pere Marquette shop em- ployes of Iona and their families to the Michigan metropolis for their an- nual excursion, was running at high speed, probably 50 miles an hour, down a steep grade. It struck the lighter locomotive of the freight train with such terrific force as to turn the freight engine completely around. Sight of Dead Man Cures Live One. Omaha, Neb., July 22.—Sick almost unto death, Daniel Mecllwyn awoke in an Omaha hospital, to find that the occupant of the other bed in his ward had died during the night. The sight of the corpse proved a more effective remedy than any the physicians had found, for Mcllwyn immediately for- got his own ailment, called for the clothes he had not used for a month, hurriedly dressed and left the place, a walking certificate of health. 470 Miners Killed. Tokio, July 23.—There was a fatal explosion last Saturday in a colliery at Toyooka, in Bungo province. It is re- ported that nearly all of the 470 min- ers in the pit at the time were killed.

The general public has no idea of the meaning of “sinking fund.” Pe term had its origin in a scheme vised by Lord Stanhope in 1716 where- by certain taxes on the South Sea (Bubble) and general funds were made perpetual, and it was enacted that surplus should be annually invested and applied to the discharge of the na- tional debt. By means of it between the years 1716 and 1733 the sum of £52,240,000 of the debt was actually discharged. So rich became the sink- ing fund that it excited the cupidity of parliament, and the grafters laid violent hands on it, diverting it to other purposes, so that in the succeed- ing twenty-five years only $42,500,000 more had been paid off. The fund got into a condition so wretched that it did little in time of peace and nothing In time of war to discharge the national debt. Dr. Price persuaded Willlam Pitt to adopt his plan of investing $5,000,000 every year at compound Interest until with the ac- cumulations the sum amounted to $20,- 000,000, when it was to be Invested at simple interest only, leaving the amount of interest annually redeemed at the disposal of parliament. Dr. Price said: “Let a state be supposed to run in debt $10,000,000 a year, for which it pays Interest at 4 per cent. In seventy years a debt of $700,000, 000 would be incurred. But an appro- priation of $2,000,000 a year employed as a sinking fund at compound inter- est would at the end of this time leave the nation beforehand $30,000,000.”— New York Press. 4 The Dread of Death. Granted that it is the will of God that we shall remain on earth and live our appointed lives there, it is essential that mankind should feel the dread of death. Without that dread the world could hardly remain peopled. The dread of death is to the soul what the law of gravity is to the body. It an- chors us to the earth. Without that dread to weigh us down and keep us to the globe half mankind would be driv- en by curiosity, by the love of change, by the dread of ennui, by what Bacon calls “niceness and satlety,” to push open the closed door and see what Is beyond. Children and a few very hap- py and easily pleased people might perhaps say they would not explore farther and that they were perfectly content with things as they are.—S8t. James’ Gazette, His Business. A passing stranger was attracted by frightful screams coming from a little house not far from the road. Hur- riedly tying his horse, he ran to the house and found that a little boy had swallowed a quarter, and his mother, not knowing what to do, had become frantic. The stranger caught the little fellow by his heels and, holding him up, gave a few shakes, whereupon the quarter soon dropped to the floor. “Well, mister,” said the gratef mother, “you cert'n’y knowed how get it out.
