FRIDAY, MAKCII 271b, 1891
His Two Children Djad and His Wifo not
Expected to Live-
We take tlie following pitiful story
from a Sunhury paper of the date of
Thursday March 20th :
John Dorscy, a resident of Mt. Car
mel, who is a prisoner in the county
jail at this place, received the sad
news last evening that his twin chil
dren were dead and his wife in a dy
ing condition, with the request that he
come quickly. The commissioners
and the warden were puzzled to know
what action to take in the matter, as
the charge Uon which Mr. Dor
sey was convicted and sentenced
would require a permit from the Gov
ernor, which could not be had in time.
They applied to Judge Rockefeller,
who gave them the power to take him
to his home to see his sick wife. The
grief of the man as he started home
ward in company with Constable Kel
ley was pitiful to behold, He has yet
fifteen days to serve, and Officer Kel
ley will remain with him until his wife
is well, and if she dies Dorsey will be
brought back to jail after her burial.

Postal Kemovals
The records of the Postoffice De
partment during the two years of the
present administration ended March
4, 1 891, there were a, 754 appoint
ments made of Presidential postmast
ers. Of this number 478 were made
upon the expiration of the com mis
ions of the incumbents, 778 were
made upon removals, 74 were made
to fill vacancies caused by death and
459 were made at offices which were
raised from the' fourth to the Presiden
tial class during this two years' term,
making a total of 3,754 changes.
The whole number of Presidential
offices in operation on March 4 1891,
was however, 2,809. At 290 of these
offices no changes have1 yet been made.
The apparent discrepancy which a
comparison ofjthese figures shows is
accounted for by the fact that in some
cases Presidential offices where ap
pointments had been made were after
ward relegated to the fourth class,
some failed of confirmation, necessita
ting two appointments, and at other
offices two appointments have been
made during the present Administra
tion on account of death.

POULTRY NOTES.
No. 9.
A great many make a mistake in
the beginning by not exercising care
in feeding young chicks, which termi
nates fatally to a large number annual
ly. I have reference to those who
feed all sizes together, indiscriminate
ly. And as a result the lesser and
weaker ones get crowded out, and do
not get the proper amount of food. It
is a good idea to see that chicks get
their share of food.
And one of the best ways to do
this is to make a box out of refuse
lumber. It can be made of any suit
able size, and should be about one
foot high. No bottom is needed.
The sides should be slatted up and
down with merely room for the small
er ones to get through.
I have tried this with good results
and can recommend it to others.

The Strange Disappearance of a Shamokin
Girl.
Miss Alice Stoop, of Shamokin, has
disappeared. Alice is a lovely girl of
eighteen summers ; she has auburn
hair and a complexion that rivals the
blue sky of Mexico , she has light blue
eyes that show the coquetry of the
American girl. Her father is a well
to do miner and the girl was lively and
happy at her home. On Wednesday
night she returned from prayer meet
ing with a companion named Haupt,
and left her at her home. She bid
her good-bye and said nothing of her
intended departure. This was about
nine o'clock in the evening About
ten o'clock Mrs. Haupt, mother of the
girl who was with Alice, passed her on
the street. A man named William
said about twelve o'clock he saw two
men have a girl, who he thought was
Alice, but he was not sure. This is
all the evidence there is in the case.
She may have run off, she may have
been abducted ; at any rate she is
cone. The detectives are to be nut
! on the case this afternoon, while her
parents are wild with anxiety. Nor

Poisons In Cosmetics-
It seems to be the fashion tor young
ladies with pimples and blotches on
their faces to make experiments with
various cosmetics. Madame PifTypafTy
advertises her foreign-named com
pound, composed of a combination of
poisonous mineral substances that
deaden and burden the delicate sub
stances of the skin. There are no
complexions like those that nature
give. The tonic, strengthening, and
healthgiving effects of Swift's Specific
(a i. a.) permit nature to work her in
this respect, as thousands of ladies,
both young and old, have discovered,
The cheapest and most beautiful com
plexions depend on health and vigor,
It is the office of Swift's Specific (S. S.

to the system, and in this way to give

cheeks.

THE REVENUE BILL DEBATED-
ANIMATED DISCUSSION ON THE ACT
PREPARED BY THE COMMISSION.
There were several little episodes to
brighten the routine dullness of the
1 louse on Tuesday. One was the
brief but acrid flurry over the Grangers
tax bill. It was anticipated that
more vigorous fight than was develop
cd would ho waged over the lull on
third reading and final passage in the
House. Mr. Wherry appeared as the
special champion of the tax-all bill
among the 1 )emocrats, and Farmer
Taggart among the Grangers and Re
publicans.
Mr. Wherry said that the bill was
the result of the very best thought that
could be given to this subject of taxa
tion. Every interest had been repres
ented on the commission which draft
ed it, and yet those most interested in
the present bill were fain to confess
that it was far from perfect. The ex
isting system of taxation was the result
of filty years development, and this
new bill went farther and promised to
do better than the old bill.
Representative Stewart hoped the
biil would not pass. He said: "It is
a most iniquitous and inquisitorial
measure and deserves to be defeated.
Mr. Stewart then read from the min
ority report presented bv Mr. Wright,
one of the Tax Commission, in which
he denounced certain portions of the
majority report in very vigorous lan
guage. To hear the measure of which he
was the sponser thus berated, called
Farmer Tagggart to his feet, and the
next insrant he was driving
the hay wagon of rustic eloquence
over his opposers. The report which
Representative Stewart had read from,
he said, had reference to the income
tax, which had been abolished. Mr1
Wright, he further said that notwith
standing that the income tax had been
abolished he held in his hand a letter
from a gentleman in Western Pennsy
lvania whose income was perhaps
$200,000 a year and who objects to
the removal of the income tax.
Although coining from an agricult
ural county, Representative Finley
lifted up his voice against the measure
although he subsequently voted for it.
"I have gra e doubts that this bill will
accomplish what it proposes to do,
and that is to reduce the tax on real
estate at the expense of other prop
erty." Mi. Finley sent to the desk and had
read an article in a current magazine
from the pen of Professor Seligman,
in which the bill is roundly condemn
ed. Mr. Riter, of Philadelphia, asked to
be permitted to enter his protest
against the bilL. He averred that the
bill was of such a character that even
the men who framed it and the men
who indorsed it on the floor of the
House did not know what it contain
ed. Mr. Taggart -Does the gentleman
understand the tax law of 1889.
Mr. Riter Approximately, and in
return will the gentleman from Mont
gomery tell me if he understands this
bill which he has introduced ?
Mr. Taggart No, I don't, and I
don't think that anybody else does or
will until the Supreme Court has pass
ed on it.
"No words, Mr. Speaker," exclaim
ed Mr. Riter, dramatically shaking
his quivering right hand above his
head as he turned on the farmer
Statesman, "so utterly condemns
this bill as this confession of its author
and endorser," and then he sat down
Mr. Coray here started in on a bit
of missionary work, among the Phila
delphia delegation. "I have only a
famt hope of converting them, he
contessed. "The gentleman who has
just spoken standing upon his feet.
Mr Riter, excitedly and emphatic
ally, "I beg the gentleman's pardon,
but so far as this bill goes I am stand
ing oh my head.
"Well, just as he pleases," respond
ed Mr. Coray, "but he and all the
others from Philadelphia say they
want to equalize taxation and how ?
1 ney tougnt to have tne tax on build
ing and loan associations eliminated,
which was done ; they fought to have
the tax on all kinds of bank deposits
stricken out, they wanted the income
tax taken out, in the interests of their
commission merchants they sought to
relieve their consignments from the
imposition of a taxi they strove to
aid music dealers in having music in
struments exempted; in behalt of
their manufacturers they asked that
machinery be excepted. About the
only class of people ignored by the
Philadelphia delegation were the real
estate holders. I want to say that if
tne real estate owners 01 rnnaaeipnia
ever get after that delegation for hav
ing ignored their interests they will
have to hustle, i hey will be tumbl
ing over each other in their haste to
get into Farmer Taggart 's hay wagon.
Laughter. The only friend the
city real estate holders in the city have
had in this house are the hay makers.
'While the lamp holds out to burn the
vilest sinner may return.' I commend
this thought to the Philadelphians.
Now is the time for repentance, and
they had better repent before it is too
late and join us in helping on this
bill."
A vote was taken resulting in 128
yeas and 41 nays. Messrs. Krick
baum and Tewksbury both voted yea.
