locomotives are expected to be running a

through the liberality of a wealthy
gentleman of Titusville, the poor of that
city will have an opportunity of receiving
memcai aid free of charge. Dr. Preston
Steele has been appointed to dispense
medical and surgical aid to the poor at

being for one year, and at the conclusion
of that time some other physician will
take Dr. Steele's place in the free dis
pensary.
One reason why the people never
pay attention to signs and advertisements
daubed on old fences, stables and bridges
is because thoy do not know whether
they are reading the advertisement of
some firm that is still In business, or one
that has been dead for years. When peo
ple read the advertisements in a news
paper that is up to date they know that
the a Jvertiser is alive and doinft busi
ness. Ex.
A Kansas farmer wrote to his friend
in the east trying to give him some idea
of the soil out there. He said he had to
mow the grass off the sod floor to find
the baby. One family near him had tw!n
babies with only one cradle, and the kid
that slept on the floor grew twice as fast
as the other. Where the soil was the
richest a man dare not stand on one foot
any length of time lest one log becomes
longer than the oiher and bothers him in
walking.
The work of closing down factories
and discharging employes goes bravely
on Titusville Advance Guard. Not very
bravely not bravely at all, we should
say. Within three week's the Inquirer

ments to old industries or establishing of
new ones, in Pennsylvania alone. Hon
or bright, now, aren't they much more
numerous than the shutdowns, and dis

The fourth and last lecture delivered
by our ministers undor the auspices of
the W. C. T. U., was given by Rev. F. E,
Glass, of the F. M. Church, at the Pres
byterian church last Sunday eveniug.
The subject of Rev. Glass' lecture was
"Sabbath Observance," and the masterly
manner in which the piece was delivered
shows that the author has spent much
time and pains in its composition, and
the comments of the audience show that
the efforts of Rev. Glass were appreciated.
The joint services have done a wonderful
good and another series of leciures of a
similar nature would be hailed with de
light by all church goers.

HARRISBURH LETTER.
Habrikburo, Pa., June 1, 1807.
The legislature ol '07 seems to be In
tho attitude of the follow who had caught
the bear and callod on some one to "help
let the blamed thing go." Everybody is
ready to adjourn and go home but to find
a convenient stopping place is what is
bothering the boat of them. Some addi
tional source of revenue must be pro
vided before adjournment can be bad,
and just what class of property to tackle
Is thn great question. A few bills having
this object in yiew have passed the
House, one of which has already re
ceived the Governor's signature, but
these are insufficient to a considerable
degree, and in casting about for other
sources, the financiers find snag after
snag, aud each particular industry raises
a kick when It Is proposed to tackle its
Interests. The Bliss bill to put an addi
tional mill on all property paying a State
tax would do the business, but such a
proposition never fails to bring a storm
ef protests from all sides. In the writer's
opinion the financiers will have to come
to this at last.
And so It is that this will be the long
est session of the legislature since the
adoption of the new constitution. Some
of the people seem to be laboring under
tho impression that the members are
purposely stringing out the session in
order to increase their pay. This Is a
serious mistake, as anyone will see when
he reflects that a member's salary is but
$1,500 for the session long or short, and
the longor the session the greater the ex
pense, and the less one has when he goes
home, and the more of his pay he leaves
in Harrisburg. Se that final adjourn
ment can't come too soon to please the
average legislator.
Three of the Reform bills endorsed by
the two last Republican conventions
passed the House during the past week.
Thoy provide respectively for the pro
hibition of the political assessment ot of
fice holders, the payment ol taxes by any
except the voter, and prevent the holding
of political conventions outside the dis
trict for which the nominations are made.
The Keator ballot reform bill, so called,
was defeated as it should have been. It
was supposed to simplify the process of
voting, but on the contrary made it more
Intricate and difficult to understand.
A bill to abolish the publication of the
Legislative Record was killed on final
passage. This publication, while very
much despised geuerally, yet has a ten
dency to keep many a member on the
straight line, knowing that his votes will
show him up if be don't "toe the mark."
A good bill for boroughs passed the
House last week. It provides a means
by which borough ordinances can be en
forced. Something which has been
needed in the past.
The House did a very creditable thing
in killing, on final passage last Wednes
day, a bill known as the "water works
and electric light snake." This bill was
intended to practically tie the bands of
all municipalities, aud place them at the
mercy of these corporations for all time
to come. The Governor vetoed a similar
batch ot bills passed by the session of
'05.
Much unfavorable comment is heard
on all sides about the bill ot expenses in
curred by the Publio Buildings and
Grounds Commission in fitting up Grace
church for the legislature. Tin bill is
large, $56,000, but in this is included the
expense of fittiug up several other build
ings for committee rooms for the House
and Senate, the School Department, For
estry Department, the Fish and Game
Commission, etc. Furthermore the
work bad to be done in a rush, and de
lays In advertising for bids would have
been more expensive, perhaps, than the
payment of big prices for material and
labor. Nevertheless the bill would stand
considerable scaling down and still be
high enough.
Three sessions daily is now the order
aud business is being dispatched in a
rather lively style. Mr. Holies of Phila
delphia occupied the chair during most
of the past week, Speaker Boyer being
ill. Very many favorable comments
wore expressed of the manner In which
Mr. Bolles conducted business, and if he
is in the noxt House will undoubtedly be
its Speaker.
A contested seat in the lower house of
tho Legislature from the third Philadel
phia district was decided last week by a
bare constitutional majority, and resulted
in the seating of the contestant, Mr.
Saunders. From the testimony of wit-
nessess who appeared before the Com
mittee, the records of the Court and the
personal knowledge of other members
from Philadelphia, it is practically cer
tain that there was no legal election in
that district last fall. At least no such
election as the country districts of the
Commonwealth know about. A majority
of the voters in that ward seem to be
Russian Jews and Italians, who know
little of our language and absolutely
nothing of the principles of our govern
ment. They were driven to the polls
and voted in flocks or droves like sheep,
or thrown out of the room by the police,
according to the will of two or three con
troling spirits. One man is accredited
with entering a booth and making the
ballots for 75 men. Others who bad
lived in the district for nine years and
were free holders, carried their title
deeds to the polls and showed them, but
were ordored out of the room as lepeat
ers. Again, voters who presented them
selves, ballot in hand, were told that they
had already voted, some one having al
ready voted for them. But upon au ap
peal to some one In authority they were
allowed to cast a second ballot upon the
same name. The police were in com
plete control and allowed only those to
vote who suited them. And the result
was a Republican elected upon the Dem
ocratic ticket, and he was given the cer
tificate. But the district being naturally
Democratic, the Committee reported, and
the House continued, the election of
Saunders, a Democrat upon a Republican
ticket. It must be understood that there
were no regular nominations by either
party, the names of the candidates being
put upon the ticket by nomination pa
pers. Mr. Saunders was elected and
served in the session of '05 as a Demo-
ciat. Tho action of the House was a
proper rebuke to tho unlawful election
methods in vogue in our large cities, and
was carried by the votes of those who
could do right, in spite of their factional
feelings or associations.
It is hoped that au appropriation may
yet be bad for township and borough
high schools. Stale Supt. Schauller is
Tory earnestly advocating such a mea
sure, and believes the money can be
spared. There is still some talk of scal
ing a half million of the common school
appropriation, bnt it will end in talk, I
feel certain.

the "road bill," has lopped half a million
off the proposed appropriation which the
bill carries with it. This may hasten the
Introduction of tho new system, but it is
believed that the full amount or one mil
lion can be spared, at least by thn time
the nnxt legislature meets, and in that
case it may be wisest to insist on a "whole
loaf," which the House will undoubtedly
do. J. E. W.
