Diliplane, of Reuling, crazed by long illness, attempted to take his life recently by holding a revolver to his temple and pulling the trigger. The ball crashed through his brain and came out above the left eye. There is no hope of his recovery, He leaves a son aged 10 years and a wife to mourn his rash act. He is 36 years of age. The Patriotic Order Sons of America, in State affairs, and the Epworth League, in religious affairs, are we believe gaining more strength than any other civil and religious organization of the present time. How long their reported accessions may continue it is hard to determine, but it is no unusual thing to hear of ountry posts and churches taking in c dozen or two at a single meeting. Printing in Colors. The prices of colored printing inks have gone down with everything else, and it costs no more to do printing in colors than it Joes in black. Tub Columbian office is prepared to print in any of the following colors : Black, orange, deep cherry, brown lake, light blue, ultra marine' blue, bronze red, violet, dark red, green, jacqueminot, purple, garnet, peacock blue.

Chairman, t e nave cnueavorea to procure a r 1 1 . copy of the Farr educational bill, that our readers may know something of its provisions, but thus far we have not succeeded. From the newspa per reports of it, there is no doubt but that it contains some objection able features, but it is likely that these win be modified if not remedied in the Senate. E. N. Willard. of Scranton is fullest of as the probable Chief Justice of me superior court when the law es tabiisinng that intermediary court passes the House. It is stated that Judge R. W. Archbald, who was re elected last year to the Lackawanna bench, was a candidate, but TmW Archbald has since declared that he is not in the field. Those now en caned in onianizintr the Simerior Court announce Attorney General McCor- nucK as likely to he the Chief Justice, ana 111 the event ot his taking the ap pointment George B. Orlady, of Huntingdon, is suggested as his sue cessor. Judge J. B. MacPherson, of llarnsburg, and Judge John Stewart, 01 cnamDersuurg, are named with Mr. Willard as Superior Court Jus tices. It is not pleasant to print dunning notices in the paper, and we avoid it as much as possible, but when an ex amination of our books shows that that there is a large amount outstand ing that is needed in our business, the necessity of calling attention to it is forced upon us. The times are hard, and for that reason we have been just as lenient as possible, but expenses are heavy, and when money does not come in fast enough to pay them, we must ask for what is due. All sub scribers who owe for a year or more win please settle before April 1st Statements of the amount due will be sent through the paper to those who are in arrears, and prompt payment is requested. tf. Jersey Justice. As exemplifying the necessity for universal education under our pecu liar form of popular government, we find the recent case of a New Jersey sheriff, who, being unable to read writing failed to obey the mandate of the court and in consequence got himself in jail. Popular government upon the one hand, and illiteracy upon the other may thus prove to be not only incompatible, but also to jeopardize and to temporarily thwart justice. Jersey justice may seem a little exacting when it thus makes an ignorant sheriff put himself in jail and turn the key. But there is no doubt of the fact that he could have hired a Philadelphia lawyer to decipher the judge's writing in case nobody in Jersey could make out his manJpte. It is to be hoped the sherilf will yet be allowed to unlock the door from the inside and let himself out. Death. Died on the 13th inst. in the Wilk es Barre hospital, Mr. A. H. Parks, of Jonestown. Age about 64 years. Mr. Parks was a brave soldier in the late civil war. His death was caused by gangrene commencing at a toe. Al though the limb was amputated, the disease could not be arrested in its fatal career. He was a brother of W. L. Park's of Jackson township.

Dear Sir: I noticed in issue of the " Columbian " of March 8th, an article headed " Counterfe Butter." It was Editor Palm who was fooled or was making misstatements, as shown by the enclosed article from Prof. II. I. Waters, of the State Col lege, which was printed in some of the leading papers. If the present oleomargarine law repealed it will be but a few years un in we win nave a monopoly equal to the standard oil company, while the great dairy interests of the state will be practically wiped out. It seems to me that the people of Pennsylvania cannot afford to do this and I hope the press of the country will stand by our dairy interests. Yours &c, Wm. T. Creasy. The following is the article referred to by Mr. Creasy : At the last annual meeting of the Pennsylvania State Dairymen's Asso ciation, held at Meadville, Feb. Oth, 7th and 8th, a committee, composed of Hon. John C. McClintock, of Meadville, a prominent breeder of Jersey cattle, and the manufacturer of the butter securing the highest aver age score for the season from Pennsyl vania at the World's Columbian Ex position ; A. L. Wales, Corry, prominent and experienced creamery man, and II. J. Waters, State College Professor of Agriculture in the Pennsylvania State College, was ap pointed to judge the butter on exhibi tion, and award prizes according to the rules of the Association. Alter the committee had made its report the packages removed by the exhibitors and the Association had ad journe.1, Mr A. J. Palm, editor olthe MaaUoule Messenger, who had enter ed butter m the five and one pound classes in the name of a local dairy man to which had been awarded se cond and third prizes respectively, reported to the daily press, the Asso ciated and United Press Associations, that his entries were bogus and that the samples entered were buttering procured from Chicaqo for this purpose. I he writer immediately telegraphed Secretary St. John for a sample of the butter whose genuineness had been questioned. Mr. Palm, the perpetra tor ol the fake, claimed to have re tamed the original packages awarded prizes and furnished a sample, which was forwarded to the Experiment Station by express under seal. Care ful chemical analysis has just been completed with the following results compared with the accepted range in composition of pure butter, butteiine and oleomargarine Melting Point, Degree, Centi grade. 29-35 34' 34-40 34 4o Pure butter Meadville Sample Butterine Oleomargarine Saponification Equivalent. 236.5 260.7 25-7 274 290 274 290 Pure butter Meadvilb Sample Butterine Oleomargarine Volatile Fatty Acids.

The range under these circumstances may perhaps be safely placed at from 20 to 28. It will be seen that the Meadville sample occupies an intermediate posi tion, standing at 25.6, while commer cial butterine has a maximum con tents of only 8.6, andoleomaigarine .7. the next most reliable testis the saponification equivalent, which has a range in pure butter of of 236.5-360.7. 1 ne sample in question comes within the range, standing at 356.7, which is too low for either of the artificial ma terials which stand at from 374 290. In melting point and per cent, of curd the suspected sample also agrees wttn putter. The natural conclusion is that Mr. Pahn either willfully and knowingly made a misstatement of the facts to nlluence pending legislation restrict ing the sale ot artificial butter in mm it 1 1 wrz.r ' 1 11 1 Mti.D JltH r.Wfc is C'nyWj J I I THE AMtllCM icufts ccwir succtsscn f ABSOLUTELY PURE THE OLD RELIABLE ' SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTE Hat stood th Tt of Tiro ' MORE SOLD THAN ALL OTHER BRANDS COMBINED l4ft-ly.

Waters, State College, Pa, Division of a Fraction by a Fraction. In a commifnication by J. C. Wen ner in the Columbian of several weeks ago, the statement is made that "to divide a fraction by a fraction, for ex ample, ( by J, the rule says, invert the divisor &c, without giving the whys and wherefores. For example: 1 is contained in 3, f times, &c. un reading the assertion that "1 is contained in , times," I asked my self the question whether it is possible ior a numoer to be contained in another smaller than itself, and after taking objects, also making diagrams upon the blackboard, to see whether, if true, it could be explained to child. ren,. i came to the conclusion that a number is not contained in another smaller than itself, and that to try to make children believe it is much like trying to make them believe that the moon is made of green cheese. It does seem not reasonable. But what does & divided by mean ? J being larger than can not be contained in it. May it mean i are what part of f ? This- seemed to me to be the meaning, and if this is correct, then the divisor is the measure with which the dividend is to be compared. Taking this view of it, the problem may be solved in the fol lowing manner : Comparing with r, the relation is that of 3 to 3 ; compar ing it with i, it is that of 8 to 3 : and comparing it with J, it is that of 8 to 9, or eight-ninths. This is the result also obtained by the inversion of the di visor, &c. It may also be explained by reduc ing the fraction to the same denomi nator and comparing their numerators, thus eight-twelfths bv nine-twelfths equals eight-ninths. The dividend contains 8 of the 9 parts of the divisor. 1 0 say that 1 is contained in , i times is as meaningless as it would be to say 2 is contained in 1, i times. It is true that 1 is J of 2, but how is 2 contained in 1 ? X. 1 THE LAND OP FLOWERS.' Last Personally-Conducted Tour of the Pennsylvania Season to Florida via Railroad. If the general sentiment concerning the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's personally conducted tours to Florida is to be taken as an index of their popularity, they may in all verity be styled the ideal tours. 1 he next and last of this season's series ot tours to Jacksonville will leave New York and Philadelphia on March 26, and the rate, includine round-trip transportation and meals and Pullman bertn on special train going, is 50.00 lrom New York and $48.00 from Philadelphia ; proportion ate rates from other points.

"Just extend me the courtesy of a small loan, and you'll have the first chance to bid for our new church con struction contract," was the alluring bait with which a bogua clergyman, under the name of Charles Rawson, swindled several Philadelphia contrac tors and builders. He got from them sums ranginc from $; to $3? each. Complaint has been made to the I hirtieth district police. 1 he clerical swindler is described as a man about 55 years old, rather small of stature, with dark hair slight ly streaked with gray. He gave the name of "Charles Rawson" in several instances. To Down Spooks. A wealthy bachelor dectaml that a horrid hag had glared at him through the night. His friends lauched at him but he insisted that the house was haunted. He grew ill, complaining of extreme heaviness in the stomach, his appetite failed, he grew sallow, emaciated and despondent, believing he was going to die, the spook being a warning, and declared he could hear funeral bells ringing in his ears, and even hinted at suicide. A friend induced him to use Dr. Tierce's Gold cn Medical Discovury, and he rapidly grew well, spooks and all his distressing symp toms disappearing.
