EPISCOPAL C0KVOTI0S. The annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania opened in the Church of the Nativity in South Bethlehem, on Tuesday evening. St. Paul s Church, Blooms-b'J-g, is entitled to three lay deputies, beside the Rector, and Col. J. G. Freeze the Chancellor of the Diocese, also has a seat and a vote in the con vention. It is very seldotn that this parish is not fully represented, but this year is an exception. Paul E. Wirt, J. R. Townsend and Samuel Wigfall were eleeted deputies, but none of them were abie to go, owing to the demands of business, and the first two are also held here under sub poena as witnesses in the Wintersteen case now on trial. CoL Freeze being of counsel in the same case, was also prevented from going. Efforts were made to find others who could go, but were net successful, so that for the first time in many years the par ish is represented only by the rector. More Curative power is contained in Hood's Sarsaparilla than in any other simi'ar preparation. It costs the proprietor and manufacturer more. It costs the jobber more and it is worth more to the consumer. More skill is required in its preparation and it combines more remedial qualities than any other medicine. Consequently it has a record of more cures and its sales are more than those ot any other pre paration. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the dw meoicine to Duy because it w an honest medicine and thousands of testimonials prove that it does actual P and permanently cure disease.

THE CASE WILL BE APPEALED. tat OfflcUU Will Loe No Time la Rrtnsln the Qaevtloo Before the Supreme Court Adjournment Mr Be Reached In the Middle of July. fSpeelal Correiponder.ee. Mrrlburg. June i. Just whn th state administration leaders ttni the revenue raisers In the legislature were ccr.f ratulatir.g thrnfe!ves on the fact that at least one till for raising reve nue waa a law, and practically sure of raizing at ltast II. 000. 000 a year. J-j'Jr? Hanna. of PMladelfhla. comes alcna; with a constitutional club and knocks out the Elkin art tailng direct Inheri tances. He bases his decision on the srcunl that the act Is In conflict with the constitution, whirh prescribes that all taxation upen the same class cf a class, or to exempt any part of that class from taxation, because the constitution preserves that when a tax is laid no power to exempt shall be vested in the legislature for other prop erty than that exempted by the con stitution, and that as to the estates of persons who died before the passage of the act. Its provisions are retroactive and therefore Illegal. The exemption In question permits all personal property below the value of 15.000 to ko free. Governor Hastings, Attorney General McCoTmick and other state officials are still of the opinion that the bill is con stitutional, and no time will be lost in .getting a case before the iiinrm,i ir - mi int nigner irinunai may pass upon the constitutionality of the act. Discussing the unexpected decision on tne direct inheritance law State Treasurer Haywood drew attention to the fact that the points of law to which Judge Hanna takes exception were all discussed before the bill was passed, and it was thought there were deci sions of the supreme court to sustain them. He said that the exemption and retroactive features were all gone over and were thought to be constitutional. He added: "If It is decided that there is a doubt about their constitutionality there will have to be additional legisla tion, for we must have revenue. We can pan another bill In sir davs. If this decision is sustained it will affect the collateral Inheritance tax, and be side the $1,000,000 we would lose through tne alleged unconstitutionality of the direct tax law we would also lose $1,000,000 a year on the collateral Inher itance law, which also contains an ex emption clause." I'nzzled Over the Revenue. The whole question of revenue has been one that has caused the legisla ture no end of trouble. One proposi tion after another has been made with a view to-increasing the revenue to meet the demands upon the state treas ury, but the objections are as frequent as the propositions, and the result is that no substantial progress has been made during the past ten days in the way of solving the problem. There has been a good deal of talk about taxing oleomargarine, but the farming ele ment in the legislature, with few ex ceptions, are unalterably opposed to thus legalizing the sale of what they are pleased to term "bogus butter." It Is believed that a tax upon the sale of oleo" would bring in a large amount of revenue. A fe days ago Senator Grady of fered a resolution in the senate request ing the governor to communicate to the general assembly whether a de ficit would exist at the close of the present fiscal year, and whether the es timated revenues for the two ensuing years would be sufficient to meet the deficit. If any exists, aa well as the ordinary expenses of the state govern ment, end if In his judgment existing laws ara not sufficient, then what sub jects of taxation he would recom mend that will sufficiently increase the revenues so as to prevent financial embarrassment. This resolution passed the senate and, being concurred in by the house with practical unanimity, was sent to the governor. Unless all signs fail there will be some fun In the senate when his reply is received. The friends of the governor believe that the resolution was conceived In the camp of his enemies and sent to him aa a sort of challenge because of his well known policy to cut down all unneces sary expenses. A move was made In the house last week towards final adjournment. Cer tain changes In the rules were adopted which provide for the dropping from the calendar of a couple hundred bills on second reading, which could never be reached unless the legislature re mains In session all summer. The complications over the revenue prob lem have delayed work on appropria tion bills, and' as It stands now final adjournment cannot possibly be reach ed before the middle of July The Wfllor Labor Law, One of the most Important bills con- siaerea at tne present session was one Introduced by Representative Weller to protect employes of corporations in their right to join and form labor or ganizations. This bill was fought through both the senate and house and finally reached the governor, who gave both sides hearings before he took ac tion. He approved the bill on Friday last. This measure had the support of the labor organizations throughout the state, and the leaders have been in Harrlsbtire -lnce the opening of the session helping it along. The act pro vides briefly that If any officer, agent or employe of any corporation shall coerce, or attempt to coerce any em ploye for connection with any lawful labor o-ganlzatlon, or shall exact from any applicant for employment any promise or agreement not to form, Join it belc 1 to such organization, or shall n any manner endeavor to prevent an employe from exercising his lawful right in this respect the percon of fending shall be guilty of a misdemea nor and liable to a fine, on conviction, f nt more than $t. nor less than $1,004, and Imprisonment not exceed ing coe j ear. either or both. Another attempt was made a day tT two ago to place upon the calendar the Creaky blil fxlng uniform passenger fare on steam ratfway at two cents per mile. This Mil wan reported n"eatlv Ijr from the house committee cn rail roads a few weeks ago. Some such measure bobs up at every session of the legislature, but It rarely gets be yond the committee to which It If re ferred. Mr. Creasy, who Is one of the Democratic leaders In the house, made a speech In support of his bill. In which be took the position that, as the pur chasing power of a dollar Is double that of a few years ago. It Is only fair that railroad companies should reduce their charges In the same proportion at prices of food products and other nec essaries of life have been reduced. Rep resentatlve I.jtle. of Huntingdon, op posed the bill, saying that the consti tution would interfere with the enact ment of such a measure. Inasmuch at the act Incorporating the Pennsylvania Railroad company fixed the rate of far. Comparative Veto tatlstlcs. Governor Hastings has not lost hit grip on the veto ax. He favors the legislature with one or two veto mes sages every day. One of his latest ve toes knocks out a concurrent resolution directing the state printer to print 2.500 copies of grand atlases to accompany certain geological reports. He says this resolution. If approved, would oom n.!t the state to the expense of printing the maps. There is no provision or limitation In the resolution regarding their cost, and the governor suggests that the state printer could go on and complete maps according to his own taste and Judgment, fixing his own price therefor. He concludes that he could not give the measure his ap proval, even If the bill was In due form of law, guarded by careful restrictions as to the cost of the maps, because of the present condition cf the public treasury. An interesting table has been pre pared showing the results of a careful and discrimnatlng use of the veto power by the last three governors. This table, In addition to the number of vetoes of each governor, also shows the amount of money saved by reason of the vetoes, as follows: Governor Pat- tison's first term, 1SS3, S3 vetoes, $3S.6isS saved; 1SS5, 10S vetoes, saved JS3.S7. Governor Beaver's term. US", 89 vetoes. $1,927.83; aved; 1SS9, 43 vetoes. 1351.6ST saved. Governor Paulson's second term, 1SSI. ii vetoes. $5S3.446 saved; 1S33. SO vetoes, saved $1,071,063. Governor Hast ings, H:r,, 123 vetoes, saved $745,551. A concurrent resolution has been ap proved by the governor urging upon the Pennsylvania representatives In congress to work to secure the passage of laws looking to the restriction of Immigration. He has also approved a resolution urging the representatives of Pennsylvania at Washington to press to passage a bill for the retirement of General D. M. Gregg with the rank of captain, which he held at the time of his resignation from the army. Rapidly the old capltol Is being dis mantled, and before the close of the present week at least half of the ruins will be removed. A week ago Contrac tor Rorke's men began work, and their progress has been so satisfactory as to Justify the belief that the walls and foundations will be removed within the time limit of 35 days. Architects in all parts of the country are now at work on the competitive plans for the new building, and these will be submitted about the middle of July. Two or three weeks will then be given contractors to bid cn the plan adopted by the com mission, so that work on the new struc ture is expected to be commenced about Aug. 1. Electric railway measures have met with all sorts of opposition In the pres ent legislature. The Bteam railroad In fluences have been too great to over come, und as a result the Young bill, giving trolley companies a chance on the highways of the state, and the Macfcey bill, giving them the right to carry freight, are still hanging fire in the houe. Tactics have been employed In de laying these bills which are not cred itable to those engaged in them. These measures have been attacked on all sides and under all kinds of pretexts, but the better element In the legisla ture believe that they are fair bills and ounht to be passed. Focht's Allen Pauper BUI. Representative Focht, of Union coun ty, Is pushing to final passage his bill providing for the return of paupers and Insane persons, not having a legal set tlement within this commonwealth, to any other state or country to which they may have belonged. Mr. Focht Is chairman of the special committee appointed by the legislature of 1S95 to Investigate the question of alien and pauper Inmates of the state Institu tions, ar.d he contends that much of the expense of these Institutions is caused by the maintenance of alien paupera. The governor has Just approved a bill to validate contracts for street Im provements and the construction of sewers that were made under laws and ordinances declared unconstitutional. It applies to street paving, macadamiz ing and grading, completed or In pro cess of completion, and provides the method of levying assessments and ap pointing viewers. It Is probable that the Hamilton road bill, one of the measures that has caused more talk during the present session of the legislature than any other half doxen bills, will likely reach the governor this week. It was sent to the senate with a ride.', providing that $1,000,000 should be appropriated for the Improvement of highways be fore the law becomes operative. This amount was cut down by the senate to $500,000, and if the house concurs In the change the bill will be Bent to the governor. There cannot be any doubt that he will approve. Inasmuch eb he has urged the passage of a road bill at both sessions of the legislature. Another Important measure is almost sure to reach the governor within the next few days. I refer to the Stewart Interest bill, which was passed by the house several weeks ago and sent to the senate. That body has adopted, several amendments, and as the bill stands now it provides for interest on all state deposits at the rate of 2 per cent, except in tne five active depos , itories in Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Harrisburg which are to pay 1 per cent en dally balances and make col lections for the stat free of cost. . Stack, folk. Mrs. Jacob Schuyler was called to Spruce Hill, Juniata county, on May 1 7 by the illness of her brother, Seth Chapman Sterritt, a sen of John A. Sierritt of Lewistown. His death oc curred on the iSth. A wife and two sons survive. The funeral took place at Academia on May jtst. Dr. H. W. Champlin performed an operation on the eye of John Neyhard of Orangeville, at the home of the latter in that place on Saturday last. A cataract was removed, and the operation was skillfully and success fully performed. Dr. McHenry, father of Miss Frances McHenry, attorney-at-law, of this town, was thrown from a buggy last Saturday and seriously injured. He was driving with his neice, Miss Minnie Fowler, near Muncy w hen the horse became frightened and ran away. Miss Fowler was not injured. The M. E. Choir will give their second Musicale and Select Reading in the tabernacle on Friday evening, June nth. Those in attendance at their last entertainment will remember with pleasure how they were pleased. This will be no exception, and as the benefit is for the new church we an ticipate for them a crowded house. A meeting of the stockholders of the Bloomsburg Banking Company was held at the office of C. G. Bark ley Esq. last week Monday, at which it was decided to lay an assessment and pay off the debts. It looks now as though the deposi tors will be paid within a few months, and that much expensive litigation will be avoided. THE BROADWAY T EDIOUS 1ELL.
