Ex-Judge James Ryan of Potts ville, had the misfortune to break ing his right leg above the knee, by falling down a flight of steps at his residence Saturday evening. The cow kicked th2 bucket over and spilled the milk, and if you do not get the Farm Journal 5 years (all of 1900, 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904), just by paying for the Co lumbian a year ahead, you will be like that cow. The farm Journal is the biggest paper of its size in the United States of America. Ilenr Cooper, ex-county com missioner of Montour County, was suddenly and peculiarly, afflicted at Danville, last Thursday. He was descending one of the Court House stairways, when he all at once be came dazed and bewildered. His memory left him and he was utterly helpless. He was removed to his home and a doctor summoned. His condition is greatly improved. Mrs. H. C. McCormick, of Will iamsport, has agreed to erect and furnish a home for nurses, to be connected with the Williamsport Hospital. It is to be built this summer, and harmonize with ' the hospital, containing twenty rooms for the accommodation of the nurses and hospital officers. It is not con nected with the main building, but is close to it. This increases the capacity of the hospital proper, which is at present crowded.

There are some people who go to church suppers, where the price is 15 cent9 for supper, and an extra charge for dessert, and who send their plates back for a second load and then take no dessert, thus get ting all they want for 15 cents, instead of ordering dessert for 15 cents extra. This is hardly fair, and we are sure it is not what the people who give the suppers expect. Ill I bTATE MEWS. Governor Stone has appointed David M. Cameron to be President Judge of Tioga County, in place of John I. Mitchell, resigned to take his place on the superior bench. Roland Knoble, a family living near Paxinos, lost a five-year-old son, in a shocking manner, in the early pat of last week. The little fellow fell into a large kettle of boiling fat and burned to death. Two men lost their lives in an accident at the Barnum Shaft, of the Pennsylvania Coal Company at Pittston Junction Saturday night. The victims were Fred Smaltz and Michael Maloski, both laborers. They were ascending in the carriage when in some manner they were jostled off aud fell down the shaft, a distance of 120 feet. Smaltz was instantly killed and Maloski died Sunday morning.

Among the arguments they present is the fact that in Great Britaintthe postage on parcels is 6 cents for the first pound and 2 cents for each additional pound, thus making an 11-pound package, which is the limit, cost only 26 cents 1 and then they go inlo hysterics over the great benefit and convenience it would be to the plain people to have such a rate of postage for the trans mission of their Christmas presents. The wonder is that they do not ask Uncle Sam to carry their packages for nothing. Let us see how this would work. To begin with, our postal service now has a deficit of some $9,000,000 per annum for operating expenses alone, and if to this be added the appropria tions for new post offices and new equipments, with a reasonable amount for depression in values and wear and tear, the deficit would probably amount to $20,000,000 or more per annum. Who pays this shortage ? Every schoolboy knows that if Uncle Sam does not sell postage stamps enough to pay his postal ex penses, he must make it up from his customs duties, or from other internal revenues, so that the people pay the Government s deficit, which forms the profit going into the pockets of a few large business houses who are in a position to work Uncle Sam'a ma chinery to their personal advantage. If a woman in Oklahoma, or Osh kosh, or any other out-of-the-way place, can get a new dress, or ten pounds of tea, or a boy's suit, or a pair of shoes, or anything else that her family or household uses in New York, Chicago, or St. Louis, or any other big trade center, at an expense of 26 cents or less for postage, wili she patronize her local storekeeper ? A cheap parcels post means sure death to the country merchants, a blow to the prosperity of every little country village, and an enormous reduction in the business of regular jobbing mer chants and all for the benefit of a few mercantile aggregations that are not satisfied to corral all business w'thin 100 miles of their establishments, but now want Uncle Sam to pay delivery charges on their packages so that they can capture the retail trade of the ntire country. If we are not very much mistaken, the million or so of country merchants will have something to say before Congress passes any new postal laws which would inevitably drive these merchants out of business. Olaims Arise From Shelling of Iloilo. Dewey's Ships Arrived Too Soon and Foreign Residents Had No Chance to Move Property. The New York Export and Import Company has obtained from its Man ila agency a number of claims against the United States government for the destruction of the property of foreign ! residents during the bombardment of Ilolio and other towns in the Philip-1 pines. j One specific claim is from the Swiss house of Mailman & Co., Iloilo, for a , quarter of a million dollars. The da mage seems to have come because some of Dewey's ships were a little ahead of time. When the American troops landed in Iloilo General Otis, through the commanding officer and by virtue of the Paris treaty, proclaim ed American sovereignty. The foreign merchants, including Hallrnan & Co., recognized the Americans and took out licenses to do business. The in surgents threatened the rear of the city and threw up fortifications. Gen eral Otis requested the Navy Depart ment to send vessels for the bombard ment of the rebel trenches. In the meantime General Otis issued an order notifying foreign residents that the city would be shelled and they were given sixty hours in which to get their merchandise in a place of safety. The naval ships came along in twelve hours and began shelling the rebels. The city was set on fire and the warehouse of Hallrnan & Co. destroyed. among others. A protest was immediately made to General Otis and his correspondence, a copy of which is in New York, admits that the army promised protection for sixty hours, but that the bombardment by the navy was a necessary act of war which the government would have to pass upon.
