The action ol Governor Stone in Reletting a practi cal farmer unil dairyman as the head nt the dairy and food commission has met with general expressions of ap proval. It has been looked up ns a master stroke and it undoubtedly spikes the puns of the insurgent po litical batteries that has been trained upon hi a'h'.i'nistra'ion sine his elec tion. Major Wells, whom the gover nor retained, upon the urgent recom mendation of some of the best known farmers and many old soldiers, hav ing resigned, it devolved upon the gov ernor to appoint a successor who would cany out the policy of the ad ministration. Jesse K. rope, a prominent member (f the Society of Friends and a prac tical fanner and dairyman of Chester county, has been appointed as Major Wells bui cessor. STONE ON RECORD. In a letter forwarding him his ap pointment, (iovernor Stone wrote: 1 have today appointed you dairy and food commissioner, to fill va cancy caused by the resignation of Levi Wells-. In making this appointment I have been influenced by my belief in your honesty and rapacity, and your cxiHTicence as a farmer and producer of dairy products. My only Uesiro is that you will fully um! fearlessly enforce the laws, which it becomes your duty to ex ecute, without prejudice and with out favor to any one. MUST ENTOKCE LAW FEARLESSLY The net of assembly approved May 5, ISM, regulating the manu facture ami sale of oleomargarine, butteiine and other similar pro ducts, charges you with the en forcement of its provisions, and while your task will be diflicult owing to the fact that the sale of oteomai giiiine has been quite ex tensive in our state, and the color clause practically prohibits its sale. It is not the oliicors charged with its enforcement to question Its merits, but to honestly, fear lessly and faithfully enforce Its provisions. Gieat difficulty has been experi enced heretofore, owing to the fact that the courts had not adjudicated the law and violators, when prose cuted, would take appeals, but now that th" superior court has decid ed the law to be constitutional, wo have a rifcht to expect less difli culty. I have no specific Instructions to give, except to vigorously enforce the law that it becomes your duty to maintain and to assure yon that at any :.ml all times you will have In this attempt my hearty and prompt co-operation and support.

Tho West Chester Village Record, In commentiii;,' u; t,n rnrent misrepresen tations of Govern!. r Stone, under the caption "An Infamous Charge Com pletely Refilled," had this to say in Its hst issue: "At the annual meeting of the Guernsey breeder' association, at the home of Benjamin Sharpless, In Bir mingham township, last Friday, Thomas Sharpless, one of the dairy men who reirntly called upon Gover nor Stone to demand the decapitation of Secretary of Agriculture Hamilton, made a KPi-inus charge against the gov ernor, if his speech, as published In the Daily Local News, was correctly reported. Mr. Sharpless was quoted as eaying that " 'Again last Monday, in Harrisburg, Governor Stone renewed those broken promise, but explained that some prosecutions had to be dropped, be cause K(,ci politician demanded that they should be, to save some one of his friends. Imagine a burglar, or horse thief, or defaulter shielded from jus lice on sin h a jdea.' "At the interview between Governor Stone and the dairymen the former made no utterances that could pos sibly be construed into the statement made to the Guernsey Breeders by Mr. Sharpless. Every word uttered by the governor and his visitors was taken down by a stenographer, and to show that Mr. Sharpless outrageously mis represented Governor Stone we' here with reproduce from the stenographic reports the exact language used by the la'ter in addressing the representa tives of the dairy and agricultural in-terc-ts. Governor Stone said: " I do net want any credit I am not unified to. I stand any criti cism whetli'T I am entitled to It or not. I have got nsrd to It. but I will en force this lav..

"It will at once be seen by the sten ographer's report that Mr. Sharpless had no foundation whatever in making his Infamous charge against Governor Stone. It shows conclusively that he either wilfully, maliciously, sought to prejudice the members of tho Guern sey Breeders' association against the state administration for the purpose of strengthening the cause of the po litioal clique whose legislative candl date he hopes to be, or else the Dally Local News flagrantly misquoted him As a week has nearly gone by, however, since his speech appeared In print without a word of disavowal from him as to the correctness there of, the only inference to be drawn Is that he knowingly and with malice nforethough made the statement as quoted above. Hut as between him and the governor the great mass of Intel ligent farmers will not hesitate to ac cept the version of the latter's state ment as re-corded by the stenographer. tor the sake of the good name here- tofore borne by Mr. Sharpless It would appear to be in order for him to make a putilic apology to the governor. FEOPLE ARE LEARNING. "This bold attempt of Thomas Sharpless to discredit the adminlstra Hon of Governor Stone with the farm crs, However, is but one instance of the disreputable tactics adopted by the gang of wreckers and bolters to dis- integrate the Republican party of Pennsylvania. They have no regard whatever for the truth where a lie will the better serve their base purposes Where they cannot procure the facts to maintain their despicable crusade they do not hesitate to invent the most outrageous lies and to spread them broadcast before the people, and when they see themselves In danger of ex hausting their base of supply for fab rication they resort to distortion. But there is a better day coming. The people are having their eyes opened as to the contemptible methods em ployed by the so-called reformers to worm themselves into their confidence for political aggrandizement only. The reaction has already set in and It will not stop until the entire hypocritical gang is swept into permanent retire ment and political oblivion." liEFOIiII!

An Order For Ilia Arrest That Wo Not l:coiitid. It Is not generally l.iiuwu, perhaps, that Senator Morgan of Alabama was once threatened with arrest for alleged com plicity in the assassination of Lincoln. Of course Senator Morgan was not ouly Innocent, but actually did not hear of Lincoln's death until a week after it had occurred. Ho was then a fanner in Dal las county, his (tractive of the law hav ing been prohibited by the federal au thorities, and he was plowing corn when he heard that an order had been received by General McArthur, at Sehna, to ar rest him and send him to Washington fur complicity in the Liucolu assassina tion. Senator Morgan went into his house and attired himself in his Confederate Itcneral's uniform, with starred epnulets, belt, sword and other accouterments complete. Then ho saddled his plow horse and rode to Selma, where lie presented himself to General McArthur. "Good morning, general," he said. "Good morning, general," replied Mc Arthur, recognizing Morgan's rauk. "For what am I indebted for this visit?" "I have come to be sent to Washing ton," remarked Morgan. "I understand you have an order to scud me there." General McArthur expressed surprise to learn that the existence of the order was known and smiled when General Morgan told him that ex-Confederates had not lost their habit of acquiring in formation. Then he remarked that the order would not be obeyed, or at least not until there had been a reasonable de lay. This did not suit Morgan, who wanted to- go to Washington to present some claims for destroyed cotton and was quite willing to travel at government expense. "I want to make one request of vou." said Morgan. "When I went Into the war, I hud $1 5.01.10 in gold in a bunk in fceiuia. i hen I enine hack from the war, I found that nty gold had given place to ?15.fHKJ in Confederate money. With that $15,000 I bought hnlf a box of tobacco. With some of the tobacco I secured coffee and sugar and shoes for my family, and tho rest of it went for 17 shotes. 1 kept those shotes until they were fat enough to kill, and now I have more meat than any other mnn in Dallas county. When I go to Washington, gen oral, I want you to put a guard around my smokehouse." "General," replied McArthur laughing ly, "you had bettor go home and guard the smokehouse yourself, and, by the way," he added, "the restriction against jour practice of the law will be remov ed." Senator Morgan went hack to his fam ily and his plow, and he never heard any thing of the order from that day. Wash ington Post. A Cnnlne Fisher. A writer In The Youth's Companion nys that not long ago a hawk caught a fish in Ixuig Island sound, but while fly ing with it to the woods to devour it at leisure the fish floundered from the hawk's hold nnd dropped into a farmer's yard, where a big mastiff was sitting. The dug en tight the fish as it came down, mid the hawk swoopeil after it, but the dog turned and ran into the bouse, plac ing his trophy, yet ulive, ut the fist of his mistress. It proved to be a large bliiefish, and it was served up thnt night to an appreciative family. The dog ever iinee lias been seen to sit iu the same place at the same time, evidently im pressed with the belief that his good for tune may be repeated. A Curd r Thank.

"No matter what the outcome shall be, the Flinn organization will be crip pled, and the effect of the trouble on tho proposed state ficht of Flinn alnst sta'wart Republicanism will be felt. The fl'rhf between Flinn and Bige low has been going on for months. Heretofore Flinn got nearlv all the city contracts, but Bigelow objected to the way the work was being done. Some of it was rejected because It did not come up to specifications, and this made Flinn mad. The clly is about to pnend $2,500,000 for a filtration plant and Flinn wants the contract for the work.

June 19, The friends of Chautauqua will b Interested in the announcement of acatlon School for children. The old telief that a long period of intellectual Idleness Is salutary for children has be gun to give way before the conviction that education of the right sort is really recreative and attractive, and may b made practically continuous. The Chau tauqua Vacation School will be in charge of teachers from the Universl Ity of Chicago Elementary School, which has become famous throughout the country for Its rather advanced theories and methods. The organlza tion of the Chautauqua School mark! an Important step forward in the edU' catlonal policy of the Institution. The Chautauqua Board of Trustees have decided to admit the Bell Tele phone Co., and the company which has headquarters at Westfleld, and a num ber of pay stations will certainly be es tablished In different parts of the grounds. The telephone facilities will be equal to those of any city with the best kind of instruments and wires, The friends of equal suffrage for wom en will be Interested In the announce ment that Chautauqua will give a Na tional Woman's Suffrage day, July 14 being reserved for that event. The Honorary President of the National Suffrage Association, Susan D. Anthony will be present on that occasion and speak. The Acting President. Carrie Chairman Catt. and the Vice-President at-Large, Rev. Annie H. Shaw will also be present Special attention is being called to the fact that the Chautauqua School of Do mestlc Science under the charge of Mrs. A. P. Norton, has been organised in a most through manner. The course now covers two summer sessions, and In cludes all the subjects fundamental to this Important study. The consolida tion of the classes in cookery with the School of Domestic Science Is at once logical and convenient. Miss Anna Barrows, of the American Kitchen Mag azine, Bnston. will be in charge of the theoretical and practical work In cookery. The School for Tarents under the charge of Mary Louise Butler which proved such a marked success at the last Assembly will be continued during the coming season. It Is expected that one of the "Travelling libraries" from the New York State Library at Albany will be on exhibition the entire season at Chautauqua. These libraries are available to any Mother's Club in the state willing to pay transportation to and from Albany. The tendency of the American people to organize themselves, nowadays, In to social clubs and societies has mani fested Itsself In the Chautauqua life. Among the social clubs Into which visi tor have grouped themselves according to ages, tastes, etc., are the following: Woman's Club, Outlook Club (for young women). Girl's Club, Boys' and Girls' Meeting, Children's Chorus, Ministers' Club, C. I S. C. Council, Kindergarten, German Club, French Club and Voca tion School. In addition to the courses of lectures of a more serious sort, Chautauqua will offer many entertainments of a lighter character. Among such may be men tioned the following: Moving Plrtures, Slight of Hand, Spelling and Pronunci ation Matches, Fireworks, Illuminated Fleet, Feast of Lanterns. Athletic Ex hibitions, Regattas, Tennis Tourna ments, etc. The legislature last winter created a separate health district of the Chau tauqua assembly grounds and provid ed that the trustees of Chautauqua who are residents In the state of New York should constitute the board of health. Friday five members of the board E. A. Skinner of Westfleld, Dr. II. II. Moore of Chautauqua, E. G. Dusen bury of Portvilfe and F. W. Hyfle of Jamestown met at Chautauqua and organized as provided by law, with F. W. Hyde, president, and E. G. Dus enbury, secretary. The board unanimously elected Dr. Charles A. Ellis of Sherman health of ficer. Dr. Ellis is a regular dally vis itor to Chautauqua, has been on the assembly grounds every lumme' ever since Chautauqua was founded, is fa miliar with local conditions and in every way Js competent to discharge the duties of his responsible office. It is the Intention of the Chautau qua management to safeguard in every way tne health of those who come to the grounds. At Dresent ponrlitinna are excellent and no pains- or expense will be spared in the sanitation of the Bummer town.

"A case of-the kind came to the divi sion last week, where a fellow lighted a match at the door of his room and from that lighted what he supposed was a piece of palter which he had iu his pocket. He started with the lighted paper to lind the gas jet. He found it, and as he blew out his lighted paper he ascertained, to his surprise and disgust, that his taper was u $10 bill, more than one-half of which had been burned.

Lots of times people burn money, but make no claim for redemp tion, supposing that they have no redress In the matter. But the treasury depart ment does not, as a rule, hunt up trouble; so unless the claim is made none is sug gested. "I had a case somewhat In the same line recently, and there are frequent sim ilar occurrences, as w here a $1 dug puppy at up two-thirds of a note. "The pup was of a playful disposition,' wrote the mail who owned it, 'and, though I saw him playing with the note, 1 did not recognize it as money. But he won't play any more iu my back yard.' Later on, when the puppy got tired playing with it, Ihe owner discovered that the dog had been amusing himself with a note which had I y accident fallen on the floor. The allidavits iu the case were very amusing, but the man got his rciu nnnt of a note redeemed at its full value. The lump anil gas lighting people arc by great odds in the majority. Out of a number of such cases the percentage of women sufferers is so small that it can almost be said they don't lose money by using it as lighters. "I knew of a woman who boiled almost out of existence several bills which by some menus got in the folds of the leaves of a head of cabbage. The liioney drop ped into her basket on ber way back from the market.
