He wished it was ihere common in every town of Pennsyl vania and when the public gets together, as en this occasion, their music, instru mental and vocal, would be enjoyed. As te the object of the meeting he was glai te say that forestry is awaking an interest heretofore unknown and unexpected. I is net the sentimental side that causes this awakened Interest. Forestry anneals In the practical common sense of our peeple, 'te their dollars and cents, a practical side that always awakens a new- interest. We are aptte think of this subject. front a scientific, sanitary or sentimental point.

Ne practical forester will say te the farmer that be shall turn Mis tobacco fields and wheat Holds Inte forests. t The questions with ''which forestry deal are practical. Farmers could with great profit plant tbeir farms with trees and one of the best trees te plant is the chestnut. Gov Gov ereor Boutwell, of Massachusetts, said te him last summer that the most profitable crop en hip farm was that from 212 chestnut trees. In sedition te the money realized from the fe of the product of that tree, in twenty ytf&s a chestnut treq will grew te ejjfucu proportions that it has a market value. and when sold will nav laroelv for K?;&gQ 1 1 me put in in attending it. ' A friend of his in Centre county bad an 'experience with a tract of timber land that phld'hlm well. Seventeen years age he '"sold his timber from the tract. He put a fence around the tract, went through it at regular .Intervals, trimmed a little when necessary, and te-day that tract of land is worth mere meney .than he received for the timber 17 years before.

IV K. Fernejv had been placed in "charge. He was here te-night te give a blalp, common sonse talk, which he hoped wtfiild Jeate an organization auxiliary te tb'ePennsyUauia Forestry association, and 'iey(new','had the pleasure of introducing Tef. Fernow. 4,An ovation (Was given the professor. After the enthusiasm of the audience had subsided sufficiently te allow him te proceed, he said that when in vited te sjieak of forestry he was fled te believe that there was no interest in this community as te the subject and he expected te meet nlne, ten, or a dozen men. In erder te be pre pared for such a meeting he had within a long sclcnilfie p.iper which he proposed te read te the small uudlonce pre dicted for him. The large assemblage, hewever, convinced him that thore was an interest in the preservation of the forests. He would net talk of tree planting; Arber Dayhas accomplished much in that direction, and with the love of trees created by Arber pay .sufficient would be planted by and by. He disagreed withtthe goverqqr that the money question side of forej culture was an important con cen con M'diraj'jen', nilhe'ugh it has weight. He Said lje would take for his text an ub strict from a 'speech delit ered by Carl Schurz at a dinner party recently in New Yerk. That extract was this; " If I had the pewer te clioeso for the country between an immediate reduction of tariff duties en the ene band and the introduction of effoctlve forest policy en the ether, I should say, let the peeple be burdened a little lenger by protectod In In terests,vfer at a future day they can clmnge their system and retricve their losses; rather than let the destruction of our forests go en at the present rate, for that destruc tion may bring en a train of disasters, from which the country may never recover. " There are two thoughts that he wanted te keep before his bearers: "The one Is the evil of which Mr. Schurz complains and which the forestry peeple are trying te rcmody-pdestructleu of the ferest, net the use of the forest growth; the ether Is that It Is'net se much the present generation as thbsOjWlie ceme, after us who will sutler for the consequences of this destruction." .Tlip' forestry questien is one of sentlment, bui It is net sentimental. De net forget that true sentiment is the moerof the word,. The forests of the United States were the richest en the earth w hen the first settlers came. They appea red te them se inexhaustible because they seemingly cov ered the entire continent. Tliey were an obstruction te the soil and had te be re moved. Naturally there grew up a hatred against forests, because tbey were an ob struction te civilization, mere particularly because of the supposition that they could net be oxhausied. Tfae'populalleu of the United Males has grown from a few hundred thousand te millions, and forests in this country haye been censumej at a rate that no nation en the fUce of the earth 'docs. The weed area is 'probably one-rourth of the country's niei; anil while thore js plenty of weed in fie country, desirable timber Is irrewiui: caree. If one gees te the mountains for 172. Umber, while then te plenty there the right kind of Unber te hard.te flu. Ash, Uekery and watent ire fitting scarce. After tetanias te " great destruction of forest In the first few hundred years In the history of the United States he discussed cllmatle changes resulting from the destruction of the for esta. He held that while the fereeta exert a influence en the climate, there were modifying influences, among which were elevation and water stir face whlrh changed the climate materially. In the far West, en the plains, will be found trees planted solely aa wind brakes. On the mountain sides the forests havelheir In fluence en the flew of the streams. It is a mistake te attribute all floods te the de struction of forests, but surface waters are retarded In their flew by forests. Erosion of the soil Is prevented by forest growth. In France the government has expended 184,090,900 te reforest parts of that country and Millions mere must be spent te put the country In the same condition It was before the destruction of Its forests. In India the less was also great by the re moval of forests. In our country hundreds of miles of timber are destroyed by burn ing M, sad of the vast amount of timber harVSsted net thirty percent Is utilised. Forestry means a national use of forest property. Ferest destruction might be stepped by legislation, education, co-opera-lien, association, such aa Arber days', and by the boys and girls of the present1 day helping te advocate this reform. There are two ways of reforming ; one is by re forming one's self, and the ether by re form all ethers. ' He urged his hearers te 'Increase their knowledge of Uie conditions of their own county, then of the country at large. Where a waste place Is found plant a tree, and if timber is te be taken from a weed, study well the conditions se that the proper ene is taken. The mistake is that in cutting timber the best trees are taken and the scrubs left, and for that reason weed lets In this country are getting poorer and poorer. See If your neighbors are remiss in their duty and if it is net posslble te Interest them in forest reform, try and get the community Interested and the neighbor will iu course of time become interested. Within two years, Lynn, Massachusetts, passed some geed forest legislation, and as a result there are 2,000 acres of public for fer for ests owned as a community forest, and this property is better and mere valuable than its public buildings. In bis brief visit te Lancaster he had seen spots where trees would have been an ad vantage arid, he Instanced the location as along the Creek which furnished the water supply te residents of this city. By reason of thore being no trees along the creek earth is washed into the creek and It passes Inte the water pipe and Is drunk by the cit izens of Lancaster. There are 70,000,000 of acres of forest land owned by the peeple of this country. In quire what is becoming of this property. There is a bill new before Congress for-the better administration of this property. Petition Congress te have the bill passed, and keep -hammering at it until Congress does something te save this valuable prepv erty. In conclusion he urged his hearers te Jein the Pennsylvania Forestry associa tion. . Governer Beaver in a short address anneunred-'that there would be a meeting held en Ttf'esday evening' next in the orphans' court room for the purpose of organizing a society auxiliary te the Penn sylvania Forestry association. These net able te attend were requested te send their names te Mr. J. P. McCaskey. Rev. Dr. Lundy, of Philadelphia, moni tor of the fcitate Forestry association, was called uHn for a speech. He was glad te see se large an audiepce. He had never before seen, se large and interested a gath ering in the. Interest of forest reform and all that is needed te carry te success the geed work begun Is a centinuance of the interest manifested at the present meeting He gave his experience of a trip through Palestine, in'.which there was net a tree te be seen. At the conclusion of this address Governer.iionver declared the meeting ad journed.

Among the last words that he said were these, in speaking pf the beard of pardon's decision ; " I guess -Justice will net be executed."

Frem the information gathered the com mission will report te the Legislature an act of assembly for the government ef the peer that will be uniform In its previsions. The testimony, of the peer directors of Lancaster county aud the officials war taken In short hand by Cee Mullecb, court stenographer. It will be written out by him snd sent te the secretary of the com mission. The Laucaster county directors favor the system at present in vogue in this county known as the county system. Frem one of the members the following information was gleaned : The county sys tem la In vogue In about half the counties in the state and the township system In remaining counties. Theso who favor the county system de se because It prevents much litigation, which is prevalent where the township sys-' tern Is uscd.Under the township system the boundary Is tee small and there are many law snlts growing out of the liability of any eus township for the malnfonance of its paupers. One township will claim that the adjoining one is endeavoring te foist its paupers en it, and the result is a law suit. Under the township system there are no peer heuses. The peer are bearded with the persons who bid the smsllest snd the result Is general dissatisfaction en part of thorn who are unfortunate enough te be maintained by the charity of the township, for with low bids for maintenance the feed and accommodations are in proportion. Theso who favor the township system say it is cheaper than the ether system. Every county In this state that has the county system wants it retained, and fully ene half of these who have the township system would like te see the first named system niade general. The commission will endeavor te arrive at a conclusion that will de away with the cumbersome peer laws that are en the statute books,as they came from the mother country. Whether their conclusions and the act of assembly te be drafted by them will be adopted by the Legislature is a question for the future.

A narrow escape from death by suffoca tion was made by the family of Samuel Watsen, of Celeraln township, en Monday night. As It Is Mr. Watsen Is still uncon scious from the effects of coal gas and bis wife and child, who although returned te consciousness, are still In a critical condi tion. Mr. Watsen's wife and child have bcea 111 for several days with diphtheria and were confined te bed. The house occupied by the Watsons is In Celeraln tewnsh p, close te Andrew's Bridge, and en the fleer In the kitchen la the cook stove which Is used te heat all the apartments en the lower fleer. On account of the Illness of Mrs. Watsen and her babe a bed was placed la the kitchen a short distance from the stove, and this was occupied by the mother snd the child. Mr. Watsen occu pied a bed In the room adjoining. When he retired en Monday night, he fixed the stove damper, as he supposed, but through an oversight he closed the damper. The lids were removed from the stove snd It was filled with coal te keep the Are going until morning. The family were seen asleep, snd nothing unu sual was noticed until the next day. The heuss wss observed te be closed by these who passed it early en Tuesday morning, but it was thought that aa there was sickness they had a bad night and for that reason slept late.

IHiAlR'a HILL MKATEN. The Sonate Rejects It en Thnrsday-The ... .. Auther Vetes Against It. Washington Dispatch te Philadelphia Lcdser. .J'! e death "lathe epitaph which the frlends or the Blair bill can write upon that thoroughly dead measure. The vote which ended the long and tiresome debste was conclusive or its fate. The bill Is tee dead for resurrection, and there are few who mourn ever Its decease. When the Senate assembled te-day there was an in creased attendance Iu the galleries and a manifest Interest en the part of these present in the closing debate upon Senater Blair's pet school bill. The first skirmish began, with a motion of Mr. Iugalls, msde at ene o'clock, te anticipate by an hour tbe consideration of the bill. This the Irssclble senator from New Hamp shire resented as sn Interference with his function ss pstren snd guardian or the measure. Notwithstanding Senater Blair's offended sensibility, the dobate preceeded after a rather llvely speech from Mr. Bate, In which he resented seme insinuations against Tennessee's school system made by Mr, Blair. The most exciting scene wss when the bill was discussed under the flve minute rule. An occasion was offered for a vigorous assault by Senater Hawley upon that portion of the bill thst he protested should send supervisors of education Inte the Northern as well aa the Southern districts. With a great deal of ferce he resented Interference of the Federal with the state au thority, and declared that such a policy would be In violation of the princi ples of the government from the adoption of the constitution. He created another decided sensation by proposing as an amendment that the clause appropriating 17,000,000 for the first year should be stricken out, and in a few iinpassloned re marks, which drew sllsht annlause from the galleries, declared that the probable expenditure of the government during the fiscal year would create a deficit unless a halt was called upon extravagant appropriations. Mr. Hawley prophesied thst, if the bill became s law, it was net merely $77,000,000 that it would cost. It would cost hundreds of millions, and would go en for W years, unless the bill became se odious that an extra session would have te be called te repeal it, The bill was against the spirit of states' rights. He did net want te have the secretary of the national beard of edu cation sent Inte bis state. The town com mittees and the school beards were capable of taking care of the schools, and he wanted the national government te keep Its hands off. He went en te read a table of appropria tions te be made for the next fiscal year, showing an aggregate of expenditure of 9523,000,000, against an estimated revenue of 150,000,000, making a deficit of $73,000,- Follewlng Is the tabte : Estimated reve nues, $450,400,000; probsble appropriations, excluslve of deficiencies, 3X1,000,000 per manent appropriations, including sinking fend, $101,000,000 j probable deficiency, 31,000,000: total, 155,600.000. Proposed appropriations reported te tbe Sonate, net Included in "probable deficiency" : Direct tax. 17,500,000 1 Blair bill, $7,000, 000 ; Freuch spoliation claims, se far as re ported, 1,742,000 ; naval ships, $7,000,000 1 increased pensions, 35,000,000; total, $08, 242,000 ; .recapitulation, prebable appro priations, 455,000,0001; proposed approprls appreprls approprls tlens,U08,242,000 total, $523,842,0001 est! est! insted roveuue, 150,400,000 (excess of ap propriations evor revenues, 73,442,000. ?r Upen concluding his remarks, Pen-; isralJi Hawley withdrew his amend- iment and a vote was taken en the passage of tbe bill. Many of the senators kept tally en printed slips as1 the 'roll call proceoded." The Mil did net proceed for before it was seen that the-vte would be extrsmely dose, with the pos sibility of the dereat of tbe measure. Senater Blair moved nervously in his seat and kept tally with a short stub peucilv looking anxiously around the chamber as name after name whs called by the clerk. Befere the final announcement of the vote, and while a bum lu the gal lories and whispered conferences en th fleer told that tbe moasure bad been lest, Mr. Blair leaped Inte the alsle and an nounced his doslre te change his vote te nay. This was sn admission that the bill hed been defeated and that tbe senator wished te be In a position te meve for its reconsideration. When Vice President Me i ten announced the result ayes, 31, usys, 37 there was a doclded sensation, In the midst of which Senater Edmunds moved an oxecutlvo session and the galleries wero cleared. The defeat of the bill is a relief te many senators who felt under obligations Ie vote for the measure, Several who finally voted adversely were, until a few weeks age, lu laver of Its pussage, but they wero worn out by the long coiillnued dobate, and dls- usted at the blnekade in the way of fur inr legislation 'caused by the persistency of Mr. Blair In forcing his measure te the front and keeping It there. If a vote had been taken en tlie bill six weeks age the probabilities are that it would have passed by a small majority. Had the vote beeu postponed for a week It would have been defeated by a much larger majority than that of te-day. THE KIUUT-HOUU BATTLE. Each Trade te Decide Whether te De mand Shorter Hours. The result of the conferencoof the execu tive council of the Foderatlon of I,aber has been made publie In Pittsburg. Vice President Martlu says that no one trade will be ordered te demand the eight-hour law, nor te strike te en force the demand. Mr. Martin savs it was left entirely optional with each trade whether they doslred or thought they could secure elght hours for a day's work. It w ill also be optional with the trades whether tbey will go into the ques tion or net.
