Frank P. Billmyer, Esq., is in
town for a few davs on" business.
He is secretary of the American
Seating Company, with offices in

turns there, his mother, Mrs. Peter
Billmyer, will accompany him.
The new front of the First Na
tional Bank is being used by
thoughtless men to scratch matches
to light their cigars. It would seem
as though every man and boy in
town would take pride enough in
this fine building to protect it from
vandalism rather than to deface it.
There are many kinds of grey mat
ter in people's brains, and there
seems to be a whole lot of the kind
that leads its owner to deface pro
perty, or drop banana and orauge
skins on the pavement, or throw
snakes in girls' laps, and do other
unaccouutable and inexcusable
things.

STATE'S FRUIT IS THREATENED.
S'.ate Economic Zoologist Warns the Farmers.
Owing to the hot, moist condi
tion of the weather which has ex

lace, the State Keonomic Zoologist,
says that the fruit crop is threat
ened with an increased crop of in
sect pests and to plant diseases,
particularly blight.
The potato crop is liable to suffer
from rot and blight.
Prof. Surface recommends to the
farmers that a good standard fung
icide be used frequently.

MUNICIPAL GARBAGE PLANTS.
The system of refuse destruction
in some of the English cities is be
yond criticism. The money de
rived from the material in many
instances more than covers the cost
of collection and reduction, and, in
addition to this, heat, light and
power are supplied for municipal
purposes. A notable instance is at
Nottingham, Knglaud, where a
third incineiator is about to be
erected which will be much larger
than the two existing plants. In
that city one of the by-products of
the plants is bricks for paving or
building. The clinkers from the
furnace are mixed with cement and
under hydraulic pressure formed
into blocks which are said to be
harder and more enduring than rock
itself.

Sugar Made From Charcoal
Alleged Dilcovery of a Los Angeles Chemist
Sugar at Less Than One Cent Per
Pound.
Charles P. Stewart, a chemist of
Los Angeles, Cal., claims to have
invented a process by which he can
manufacture sugar from charcoal
and water at a cost of less than one
cent per pound. Before a number
of business men the inventor has
given a practical demonstration of
his process at his residence.
In 20 minutes the apparatus
changed 42 pounds of charcoal and
a trifle over 60 pounds ot water into
100 pounds of powdered sugar.
A company with a capital of
$30,000 00 has been organized to
manufacture Steward s sugar.

REAL DAUGHTER OF REVOLU
TION. The Bellefonte Chapter. Daujrh
ters of the American Revolution,
has discovered a "real daughter"
in the person of Mrs. Mary Ann
Allison Rishel, of Chntondale, and
by special invitation she was duly
received as a member of the Belle
fonte Chapter at a special meeting,
and at once pensioned by the organi
zation. There are only six real
Daughters of the Revolution living
111 the entire State of Pennsylvania
Mrs. Rishel is the daughter'of
Martin Allison, who was born in
Ireland in 1750. He came to this
country with his parents shortly
alter the breaking out of the Revo
lution, and in 1777 he joined the
Continental army and fought to the
close of the war in 1783. He was
married three times and Mrs.
Rishel is the next to the youngest
child by his third wife.
Her half brother served in the
war of 1812, and her son fought in
the war of the rebellion.
Mrs. Rishel, despite her more
than 86 years, is still in good health
and quite active. She has received
from the National Society of the
D. A. R. a golden spoon, the mark
of honor and recognition conferred
only on real Daughters of the Revo
lution. Mrs. Rishel is an aunt of Mrs.
W. S. Hamlin, of West Third
street, Bloomsburg ; and the half
brother referred to is Mrs. Hamlin's
father.
Old residents of Wilkes-Barre
and the Wyoming Valley, say that
in he fifty years of their remem
brance they never have seen such a
plenitude of grapes as is promised
this year. The vines are covered
with an unusually heavy foliage
and blossoms. As every bud or
blossom means a bunch of grapes,
they will have grape jelly even if
the tomato catsup supply will be
short. It is said by those who are
learned in the culture of vines that
the reason for the great number of 1
blossoms is the late spring. The
cool weather, unfavorable to nearly
all of the other fruits, was most
beneficial to the grape vines, as it
permitted the roots to become most
active before they were permitted
to set the sap flowing. As a result,
when the vital fluid did flow it
came in such profusion as to cause
very heavy feafing and blooming.

MRS. DR. BROWN ILL.
On Tuesday afternoon about 5
o'clock Dr. J. J. Brown fumd his
wife lying on her bed partially
paralyzed. She had been doing
some work during the day, and in
the afternoon she went to her room
to lie down for a rest. Dr. Brown
went out for a little while, and soon
after his return he heard Mrs.
Brown calling him, and on going
up staits he found her as above
stated. She was lit first able to
talk, but soon lost the power of
speech. Though conscious, she is
unable to swallow anything but a
little water. It is probable that she
may recover somewhat from this
attack, though in such cases it
takes a long time before the patient
is able to get about. The many
friends of Dr. and Mrs. Brown
sincerely hope that her case may
be an exception, and that she may
soon be restored to health.
Chorus girls seem to be making
trouble for the wood family of Pitts
burg. Alan Wood, who is one of
the steel millionaires of the smoky
city, a few years ago sent his son,
Park, on an extended European
trip because the latter was too fond
of chorus girls, and the father
feared that the son might marry one
of them. During the son's absence
the father fell in love with a
chorus girl and married her. The
son subsequently married a very
nice young lady, and now the lat
ter has left her husband and sued
for a divorce on account of his mix
up with chorus girls.
The Government opened its case
on the Tobacco Trust Wednesday
by instituting suit in the United
States Circuit Court of New York
for the appointment of a receiver
for the American Tobacco Com
pany.
With the two oldest and strong
est combinations, the Tobacco and
.Standard Oil Trusts, on the rack
the outcome is watched with inter

tiotis are declared illegal a great
number of other combines, which
have been modeled on these two
must pass out of existence and
large element in our economic sys
tern will be revolutionized.
