Staler and Sisson, for Quayism and Others for Salterism. Ex-State Treasurer William H. Berry addressed a large mass-meeting at Plymouth last Thursday night tinder the auspices ot the Lincoln Republican Party. He was received with the greatest enthu siasm, and during his talk he had to stop at frequent intervals, so great was the applause. He was introduced by Fuller Hendershot, known as the "Abra ham Lincoln of Luzerne county," and. one of the leaders of the Lin coln Party. "What Pennsylvania wants," be declared, "is more Ber rys, and honest men in the Legis lature." Mr. Berry in bis speech attacked the two leading Republican State nominees, Stober and Sisson, as supporters of the Quay stutue and all the political infamies that it stands for, as well as the Philadel phia Machine, for rewarding with Judgeships Barratt and Von Mosch zisker, the latter now the nomiuee for Supreme Ccnrt, after both had figured as they did in the District Attorney's office when Salter es caped punishment. When the Republican convention turned down that distinguished jur ist, Chief Justice Rice of the Supe rior Court, who was unquestiona bly the choice of a majority of the members of the Bar of the State and of the great mass of voters, and nominated Robert Von Mosch zisker, a Philadelphia gang-trained judge, the eyes of the people should have opeued to the iniquity of the situation, and they should see that the nomination of the unknown one, could be for but one purpose and that not the interest of the people.

The extermination of mosquito larvae in stagnant bodies of water through the agency of diminutive fish in the Panama Canal Zone, is the novel experiment which short ly will be undertaken there by the Department of Sanitation of the Panama Canal Commission. The proposed experiment is to be undertaken to destrov j breeding in the stagnant water in tne marshes between Sosa and El Diablo. Before work was beguu on the abandoned Sosa-Corozal dam, salt water invaded the marsh es regularly, but in constructing the rock and earth fills the tidal channel was obstructed and the rains soon created fresh water pools in the low hemmcd-in places. This fresh water will be treated with copper sulphate in order to ki'l the algae growth which fur nishes food and a hidinsr nlace for the mosquito larvae. As an addi tional precaution the pools will be stocked with diminutive fish. Millions of species of small fish have been successfully bred at An con. It is proposed to transfer some of these mcsquito destroyers to the fresh water lakes and ponds. Vote for Hidlay for Jury missiouer. Com- May Name Commission Soon. Governor Edwin S. Stuart, is expected to name the :.iembers of the election law commission belore the close of the year.

A barbarism in the English Ian- euace which some newsnaners seem to delight in committing almost daily, and which, if not stopped, will influence further murder of the Queen's English by some of the .1 1 - reauers, is tne misuse ot tue title "Rev." Aeain and asam it it used as a noun, in the same way as professor" or "doctor." for wh ch there is absolutely 110 authority. "Rev." may be properly used only before "Mr.", or before the clergy man's initials as "the Rev. Mr. Brown," or "the Rev. A. B. Brown," never "A'er. Brown.' It is as senseless and iticorrcct as it would be to write "Hon. Smith." This is one of manv error that are constantly being made, but it is a glaring one, and one of the most trequent, Inasmuch as the press is 11 considerable factor in iufusuciug the speech of the people, some newspapers would do well to pay a bit .nore of attention to their moth er tongue.

Bad Bill is Made by the Thousand. If you are offered a $5 bill with the portrait of Andrew Jackson and numbered A-2444in8 of the series of 1907 don't accept it. It is bo gus. There is but one genuine bill of that number and that is in Italy; but the country is being flooded with counterfeits of it. Wholesale dealers in Brooklyn have been re cently convicted of handling this bill, but the factory is still at work in Italy, where the one genuine bill is being copied by the thousand. Three Italians in Brooklyn are now in prison and Secret Service men are on track of others. Mean time look out for the Jackson bill. In his uow "infamous" decision upon the Judges Salary Grab, Judge Von Moschzisker, true to his political training, treated the Con stitution of his State, after the manner of "What is the Constitu tion among friends," and decided that they could take the increased salary, in spite of the Constitution al prohibition, "that the salary of no public officer shall be increased or diminished during the term for which he was elected." Now how do you suppose the erudite Von Moschzisker got around this plain inniDition t by tne simple method of declaring "judges are not public officials." inhibition ? by the simple method The Democratic candidates for Sheriff, Jury Commissioner and Coroner are worthy of every Dem ocratic vote in the county.

Following the death of his moth er eleven years ago from cancer. Schuch began an investigation of the cause and growth of cancers, during which, he asserts, he dis covered that the basic germs of cancer are similar to those of lep rosy and consumption.

Al though 110 test of this has been made, Schuch says that theoretical ly the formula should cure mild cases of leprosy. Nets $150,000 From Seals.
