There is a bill pending in the Legis
lature to prohibit the selling of fire
arms or air guns to boys before they
reach their majority. This is a measure
that should meet with prompt and
favorable action. A ereat many lives
have been lost owing to the reckless
handling of dangerous weapons in
the hands of boys, and the law cannot
come to the rescue any too soon. A
boy with an air gun is a terror to the
community, and as long as he is per
mitted to prowl around the neighbor
hood with the deadly weapon over his
shoulder the lives of the people will
be in jeopardy. During the past few
years several persons have been shot
by these so-called harmless air guns
It should be abolished by all means.
NOTES FROM THE LUTHERAN
SYNOD.
The Susquehanna Synod, that met
in Sunbury last week was one of the
most encouraging in the history of
the Synod. It was the 28th Annual
meeting, and every minister was
present, and a lay delegate from every
charge. A few ministers were called
home to attend funerals but returned
again.
Rev. J. M. Reimensnyder of Milton
the retiring president was re elected
also the retiring Secretary Rev. A. N
Warner of Northumberland and the
treasurer Mr. A. W. Deffen of Sun-
bury.
The routine business consisted of
hearing reports, and laying out the
work for the new year. Several new
congregations were received into the
Svnod. Business is done by com
mittees who bring recommendations to
the Synod anc thus expedite the work
Every charge was reported in good
working condition. There are but
two vacancies in the Synod, Muncy
and Montoursville, both of which will
soon be filled. Notwithstanding the
hard times the Synod raised more
than $2000 more money than last
year.
One of the prominent events of the
the Synod were, an address on Thurs
day evening by a high caste Brahmin
from Quntoor, India, one of the Miss
ion fields. A great congregation
listened with wrapt attention for two
houis while the native eloquently de
scribed the conditions of India, which
has remained unchanged for thirty
centuries. Another event was the
ordaining of four most excellent
young men to the gospel Ministry in
the presence of a congregation that
more than filled the church on Sun
day evening.
The next meeting of Synod will be
held in Danville Pa. on the first
Thursday of May 1896.

ROYAL AR0AHUM GRAND
COUNCIL.
The officers and representatives
composing the Grand Council of
l'cnna , of the Royal Arcanum met in
the City of Reading May 8th and oth.
An informal reception was tender
ed to those present on the evening of
the 7U1, in the beautifulhall of Mt.
Penn Council, which now numbers
nearly 400 members. At 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning the Grand Coun
cil met in public session in Rajah
Temple, many ladies and visitors be
ing present, when Daniel H. Wingeid
Esq., delivered the address of wel
come, responded to by Grand Orator
Cornelius of Pittsburg. Immediately
after this all, not members of the
Grand Council, retired and Dr. E. D.
Doolittle, Grand Regent took the
chair. The Grand Council occupied
all of Wednesday and until 7 o'clock
on Thursday evening with its business
sessions.
About 250 officers and representa
tives were present from 213 Councils,
representing a membership of over
10000 in this state alone. I he entire
membership is now 165,000 in over
1 Coo Councils and 21 Grand Councils.
This order was organized June 23,
1877 with 9 members and by Dec.
1878 had paid $9,000 benefits ; in the
18 years of its existence it has paid
out to the widows and orphans of de
ceased brothers over $31,000,000.
This immense sum has been collected
and distributed without the loss or
misappropriation of one penny. The
average assessment per member in
1894 was $1.71, the average age of
members 39.9 years, and the ratio of
expense to benefits paid about 2J per
cent. Highest number of assessments
in one year 16. Assessment No. 1
realized $3,004.68 ; assessment No.
208 over $272,000.00.
Reading fairly surpassed herself in
her hospitality. Nothing that would
conduce to the comfort, pleasure and
happiness of the delegates was left
undone. Between 50 and 60 of the
delegates had their wives with them
A committee of Reading ladies, with
Mrs. Dr. S. C. Ermentrout at the
head, took special care of these visit
ing ladies during the Sessions of the
Grand Council, taking them on ex
cursions to the various points of inter
est in and about Reading, lhe
Neversink Mountain, Klapperthal
Park, the Mt. Penn Gravity Railroad
and over the entire Trolley System of
the City. On Wednesday evening
the ladies, Reception was held at Me
tropolitan Hall, and address of wel
come was delivered by Ex-Mayor
James R. Kinney which was respond
ed to by rast Grand Regent J. A
Langfitt of Pittsburg. Tne music for
the occasion being lurnished by the
celebrated Germania Orchestra, under
the leadership of Prof. M. A Althouse.
On Fhursday evening a public meet
ing was held in the Academy of Mu
sic. This immense building was liter
ally packed and the exercises were of
so interesting a character that the
audience remained in their seats until
after 1 1 o'clock- At this meeting ad
dresses were madeby Col. Chill Hazzard
Supreme Regent; W. O. Robson of
Boston Supreme Secy, Hon. Wm
Lorenstein of Richmond Va., and
Regent elect Rev. E. H. Leisenring
of Chambersburg. The music was
again in charge of the Germania
Orchestra. Mr. and Mrs. James Mc
Cormick of Philadelphia rendered
several pleasing and humorous songs,
monologues and recitations. The
special feature of the music was, per
haps, the marvelous violin playing of
Prof. Wittich s three boys, Leon, Carl
and Otto, ranging, apparently, in age
from six to ten years. At the close
the entire audience joined in singing
two odes written especially for the oc
casion, one entitled Fraternity, the
other Auld Lang Syne.
EE DECEIVED THE PEOPLE
And is in the Penitentiary lor a Year.
At Atlantic Iowa, on May 7, C. M
Ailor, alias "Crip." Ailor, was convict
ed of deceiving the people by selling
a worthless compound, which he
represented to be Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and was sentenced by Judge Macy to
one year at hard labor in the Iowa
State Penitentiary. Ailor's methods
were those of a traveling fakir. He
has been traveling through Missouri,
Nebraska and Iowa, making stands of
a day or more in each town, and
representing himself as an agent under
salary from C. I. Hood & Co., and
selling his concoction at one dollar or
fifty cents per bottle, giving with each
sale various otner worthless articles.
Citizens of Griswold, Iowa, became
suspicious and ascertaining from a
druggist that Ailor's compound was
not Hood's Sarsaparilla, but merely
colored water had him arrested.
Three indictments were found against
him, the jury convicted him after only
thirty minutes deliberation, and he
was sentenced as above. This inci
dent suggests the wisdom of purchas
ing only of reputable dealers whom
you know. Hood's Sarsaparilla is
never sold by pedlers, and such offer
ing it should be at once reported to
the authorities, or to C. I. Hood &
Co., Lowell, Mass. Lowell Morn
ng Citizen.
The only kind of misery that loves
company is the kind we bring on our
selves.

THEEE BOY'S AND A GIEL.
Alter Giving
Birth to Four
Mother Died.
Children the
Brooklyn, May 12. There will be
a funeral from the home of S. Lowen
stein, at No. 267 Washington Street,
on Tuesday, and although there are
three to be buried one coffin will con
tain all the bodies. The woman died
at noon Saturday after having given
birth to four babies. She was a little
more than 40 years old and previous
to this had been the mother of five
children, all of whom are now living,
the oldest being 18. They had all
been born singly.
Dr. Pulvermacher was called to the
household early Satuiday and a party
of Lowenstein's friends were also there
waiting for the announcement of the
happy event. It was about 9.30 A.
M. when the physician came from
Mrs. Lowenstein's room and said that
a boy had been born, but that the
mother was not doing well. At his
request Dr. Henry and Dr. Nicholson
were called in consultation.
Before they arrived word came from
the room that there were twins in the
family and at 11 A. M. it was an
nounced that there were triplets. At
noon one of the physicians came from
the room and told Mr. Lowenstein
that his wife was failing very fast. The
friends that had gathered to congratu
late him now found that their mission
must be to comfort.
The final word came from the
mother's room at 12.30. A fourth
child had been born, but the mother
herself was dead. The last child was
a girl and died in a few minutes. The
third boy died in spite of the efforts
of the physicians. The fitst two boys
were doing very well to day and the
physicians believe that they will live.
Each of the four little ones weighed
more than four pounds, their total
weight being eighteen and a half
pounds.
Florida oranges, which are said to
take the lead in that kind of fruit, are
greatly missed. The scarcity is due
to two cold snaps in Florida last
winter, the first one being in Decem
ber, that froze the oranges, and the
second in February, that destroyed
thousands of trees. Burrell S. Ives,
of this city, who has three orange
groves in Florida, says that the loss of
5,000,000 boxes of oranges on the
trees and the destruction of groves
entailed damages of $6,000,000, of
which one half is borne by growers
and the other by transpoitation com
panies. He says it will be from three
to six years before the orange growing
industry of Florida is restored to its
normal condition, and he estimates
the aggregate loss in various ways, for
the period of the recovery, as some
thing enormous.

He Was Put Off.
He may have been a hayseed. He
looked it ; but way down deep in his
eyes the second time you looked you
seemed to notice a suspicion of real
sickness" that escaped you at first.
He held a ticket to Tecumseb,
when he get on the train at Topeka,
and he gave it up promptly to the
conductor on demand.
When the conductor came through
the train after it had left Tecumsebg
he was surprised to see the same man
silting complacently in the sam e seat.
"'licket," said the conductor.
" Haven't got any," said the man.
" Then you'll have to pay," said the
conductor.
" Can't do it," said the man.
Then I'll have to put you off,"
said the conductor.
" What, right out here in the coun
try ?" asked the man.
"Right out here in the country,"
replied the conductor.
A good many of the other passen
gers were interested at once and the
argument continued. The conductor
noticed he said afterward that the
man kept looking out ot the window
as he talked and did not seem to be
in a hurry. Of course, the train was
running all the time.
The farmer finally went down into
his pocket and got out his purse. He
was not in a hurry about it, and after
he had opened it seemed lost in
thought.
" Come," said the conductor, u I
can't fool with you all day."
" Must pay or get off, eh ?" asked
the farmer.
" I said that," replied the man with
the punch. There was another mo
ment's silence. The farmer took an
other look out of the window.
" I guess you can put me off," he
said.
The train was stopped and the con
ductor went to the rear platform to
see that he got off and stayed off.
" See that white house over there,"
asked the son of toil.
The conductor could see it easily.
"That's where I work," said the
tarmer. 41 This is the nearest the rail
road comes to it. I am much obliged
to you for letting me off here. I, was
afraid I wouldn't be able to keep yon
interested till we got here. Have a
cigar?" and the granger jumped
lightly to the ground and was gone.
The train was two minutes behind
time before the conductor recovered
his breath.
" Well, I'll be ," he said, in an
humbled tone, and then he went in
and kicked the newsboy. Topelca
