From time Immemorial the new
rear has been the season for fresh and
food resolutions.
Hut Indeed the making of good reso
lutions has always been so easy that
jne marvels why any day In especial
ihould ever have been set apart for
:he purpose. Yet tho fact Is that al
most every one likes to postpone the
:ime of rellnqulnhlng the particular
MtiRhtlncB3 which for any reisnn has
jecomo objectionable, who. her tlm
cumuli be the bure fact of Its own
character or be the Injury It works.
It Is so easy to be good next vee'.s
)r the week after, because that person
trho Is going to be good next week or
the week after is another indivlilu;;!,
the person of that time another
(MMHon, not one's self, not tho
person of this time. It hi so
liilicult to say, Now, now, now la tho
lime to leave off! because the person
whom "Now" addresses Is one's self,
jml experiences tho whole bltterne.ia
)f the renunciation. And for this rea
son we may observe that usually tho
time for carrying the pood resolve In
to effect Is seldom tills moment or
Ihia day, but Is always among tho to
morrows; and thus uncounted goo.l
resolutions are made In any part of
the Inst year, tho time for their bud

Some years ago an Eastern fanner,
n trying to repeat Webstor's dying
words, "I still live," gave an amusing
rendering of the spirit, if not the ex
tet letter of the phraso. A gentleman
dad remarked to him, "Life is very un
sertain." "Ah, yes," replied the farm-

by the way, Captain, that makes mo

"Who was It?" Inquired the Captain.
"Well, I don't Jist call his name now,
but at any rate he was a big polltlcian

My newspaper said that when he died
:ho Boston folks put his Image in their
windows and had a funeral for a whole
lay." .
"Perhaps it was Webster," suggested
Ihe Captain.-
"Yes. that's his name! Webster. Gen-

Chestnut Street Bank of PuilacMpuia
MIOSIS lis Douis.
The financial circles of Phili,!,.!,
were greatly exciie.I on Thursday
iiiummg in last week when the news
became current that the Chestnut
Street National Hank of that city hail
closed its iloors.
Great excitement nrv.iil.t
. r....ivn nil. I
when it became known generally
mrongs oi depositors and others flock
ed to the building all anxious to know
the cause of the suspension.
The failure occurring as it did on
the day before Christmas, was a hard
blow at the business in the city. A
little later in the day it was learned
that the Chestnut Street TrnQt rv.m.
pany had also failed.
William M. Singerly, editor of the
Record, and late Democratic nominee
for Governor is the president of both

A plan looking to the interest of
creditors has been hit upon. They
are to take half in cash and half in

The Mormon, like satan, cannot
entirely conceal his cloven hoof. It
will peep out and belie the most saint
ly face he can wear. Witness the
advice given by "President" Woodruff
at the semi-annual conference of the
Mormons. It is to be remembered
that in suite ol orotestations of loyal
ty to the Uuitcd States a majority of
me ftiornion connection are yet as
much under the thumb of the priest
hood as they ever were. The signifi
cance of the following remarks of old
Woodruff will therefore be understood:
'God Almighty requires you to unite
in your temple work and unite in your
politics. You should unite to elect
oiir city council and also all your
state officials. Von must put aside
your Democracy and Republicanism
and as Latter Dav Saints unite, and
- -
you will not be taxed to death.'' The
.Mormons win hear watching yet lor a
generation.
What do the Children Drink?
i Don't eive them tea or coffee. Have
1 you tried, the new food drink called
I Grain O ? It is delicious and nourish
ing and takes the place of coffee. The
I more Grain O you give the children
1 the more health vou distribute through
their systems. Grain O ii made of
pure grains, and tastes like choice
coffee but costs about the price. All
grocers tell it. 15c and 25c.
Bush of freight.
All Lines Crowded and Men Making Good
Wages.
Men who know anything about
railroad arrairs say tint the present
immense freight movement is the
largest and most continuous rush in
years. All the roads entering this city
are still doing a big business and the
Reading has been compelled to put
on an extra crew to help take care of
the trains on the Philadelphia, Harris
burg and Pittsburg road. The daily
movement on this single track branch
averages from 400 to 500 cars per
day and has run up above 700. Most
of this traflic is east bound, although
some heavy coal shipments have been
sent west. The local freight on the
Reading is also very heavy and shows
a big advance on all branches over
last )ear.
Both divisions of the "Pennsy" are
crowded with freight, although the
Philadelphia division, as usual, is
doing the largest business on account
of the many "feeders, which contri
bute to the "Pennsy" at this point.
Extra men on that part of the road
are now making bigger wages than
the regular men did last year at this
time. Some of them are ahead of
the month in the number of days
worked.
On the Middle division it was found
necessary to hire new firemen for road
running. Freight is exceedingly heavy
at Marysville and several days ago
the tracks were blocked with cars
from this city to Duncannon. Some
of the trainmen are making big extra
time.
The Northern Central has all the
work it can do and is now employing
about twenty brakemen at Marysville.
Trainmen run as high as eight to ten
days a week. Harrisburg J'atriot.
The Perks County Grand Jury has
recommended that the Commission
ers erect a monument in memory of
the county's dead soldiers and sailors.
The will of William Appleby,
who died recently in Chester, be
nueaths $1000 to the hospital and
$3000 to St. Paul's Protestant Episco
pal Church, in that city.
