When it come to a long distance esti mate the groundhog is as good as any other weather prophet. Thk western demand for tariff revis ion is dying away as time goes on and the present taritt' continues to prove its merits, Last month's reduction of the public debt was $3,222,116. This Republican habit continues in spite of the repeal of the war tax. Ski-hktary Hay's Alaskan treaty lias been favorably reported and will bo rati fied as soon as possible. It will be a tri umph for the Secretary of Stale. Tiiinus are getting to the point where the foreign ambassador to the United States will not be regarded as duly quali fied unless he has an American wile. Thk acceptance of the statues of John Hanson and Charles Carroll, or Carroll ton, by Congress was made the occasion of an eloquent oration by Ser.ator Hoar. Thk publicity amendment to the de partment of commerc? bill promises to be adopted at an early date and t consti tute the first anti-trust legislation of the session. Thk number of persons in the United States available for military duty Is offi cially placed at 10,653,1i6. There will be no lack of men behind the guns when an emergency arrives. The energetic work by President Roosevelt and Senator tlansbrough In establishing a system of federal irriga tion has given an impetus to every indus try in the western country. JIow much more is to be required of Venezuela than the payment of its debts in full, after submitting to the loss of its navy, bombardment of its forts and the slaughter of its unarmed citizens? Senator Bi-.veridge imagines that he will occupy the second place on the next national Republican ticket. Some Im aginations must be salted to make them keen, their freshness often Is their ru ination. What connection, if any, is there be- tween the recent visit f Mr. Bryan to Mexico and that country's ell for help to prevent a further drop in the price of silverT Time is negativing all Mr. Bry an's prophecies. One Democrat stands in the way of the ratification of the Columbian isthmian canal treaty. Senator Morgan has threat ened to talk it to death, notwithstanding the fact that no member of his party agrees with him in his opposition. Minister Bowem will make a big rep utation if a peaceful settlement is reached in the Venezuelan ditflculty, and un doubtedlv such a settlement will be roached. He has right on his side, and a majority of the nations France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United States and otheis having claims against Venezuela are with him in his contention. The world is likely to hear more of Bowen after the Venezuela incident is out of the way. The rush orders at the tavy yards and the armories of the United States show that il trouble comes this country will be prepared. Democratic opposition could usually be counted on heretofore to de tent all sorts of measures calculated to strengthen the army or navy, but the present situation is too perilous to permit any Democratic obstructiveness. The two fighting arms of the United States service will be lmprovod as a result of of the Venezuelan squabble. To this ex tent the allies' pernicious activity in the Caribbean has aiiled nnr i-ountry, America's Point of Danger. At what point shall we expect the ap proai-h of danger? Shall we expert some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never 1 All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasures of the earth (our own excepted) in their mili tary chest, with a Boueparte for coin' inaniier, could not, by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years, At what point then is this approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reaches us, it must soring un among us. It canot come from abroad. If de struction Le our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of Freemen, we must live through all time or dio by suicide. Abraham Lincoln. .( KVr-t HK.l'KT KATE and Ix'st accommodations.

MARICN FULLERTON HUNT. OBMTARV. MARIKN BLOOD HUNT. Every true citizen of Forest county has paused, during the past week, in deep veneration, as the tidings reached them that ono of the best and bravest of the historic characters of our county bad passed beyond the veil that hides the seen from the unseen time from eterni ty. In the lands be nnd the sea, beauti ful spirits illumine the pages of history, but It has been reserved fr the pioneer daughters of America to show the world arest excellence and worth ; and of these, in the history of our own county, none deserve greater honor or more lasting tribti'e than the subject of our sketch Mrs. Marien F. Hunt, Claiming her as the eldest of the pioneer daughters of Forest county, we may safely say of her Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excel lest them all." In the early part of the past century two brothers of a good New Hampshire family sought and obtained a classic edu cation in the best schools of Massacbu setts. The elder, Samuel Blood, after graduating from Harvard College, became principal of the Chain bersburg Academy, in Franklin county, Pa., and later was joined by his brother Cyrus. In 1820, Cyrus Blood was married to Miss Jane McAnulty of Chainbersburg, and about this time took charge, as principal, of the Hagerstown Academy in Maryland. It was there, on September 7th, 1821, in the midst of the loftiest environment, that the eldest daughter, Marien Fuller ton Blond, was born t these good people. Later Mr. Blood accepted and served as a professor In Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., but the coufinemeut of the school room not agreeing with him, he traveled for some years. While traveling he found that the northern portion of Jetl'er son county was then an unbroken wild' emsss, and conceived the idea of found ing a new county and finally purchased a tract on which Marienvilleis now located It was understood when Mr. Blood pur chased this tract of wooded land, that a road would be opened into it for him, but as in the case of many such promises the land company failed to do so, and in 1333, "when he arrived where Corsica now is, on the Olean road, he found to his an noyance that no road had beon made. Leaving bis family betrnd hi in, he start ed from what was then Armstrong's mill, now Clariugton, with an ox team, sled, and men to cut their way, step by step through the wilderness twelve miles to his future home. Every night the men camped on and around the ox sled." (Quoted from Dr. McKnigbt's History of Jefferson Co.) In October of the cams year, Mr. Blood and bis five children took possession of their lorest home. Marien was then hut twelve years old, yet on ner fell the responsibility of house keeper, home-maker, teacher and com panion in this wilderness home. Up to this time she had been reared in an at mosphere of culture and refined Chris tian influences, and although she keenly felt the loss of the superior advantages of ber early childhood, sha never murmur ed, but with the fortitude of a Roman matron she bravely met the untold hard ships and privations of pioneer life. The enforced limited library of their log-cabin home was cherished and the treasures it contained, with the father's Instruction, helped Marien to continue her education, A room was soon set apart for school room and here Marien Blood taught the tii st school In what is now Forest county, almost 70 years ago. She continued teach ing for some years. The true heroic spir it f the "Lord ol the Forest," as Mr. Blood was pleasantly known by bis triends, and of bis daughter Marien, was manifest in the unbounded faith and courage to meet the dangers and priva tions of those early days in tha history of ur county. Wild beasts reigned supreme and the tracks of the Red Man bad not disappeared. Settlements were miles distant from each other and panthers were so plenty that they played like dgg in their door-yard. At times in the year money could not buy the necessities of 11 e that bad to be brought from Kittan ning and Brookvillo on foot, and Mr. Blood frequently found it necessary to leave his little children in the care of bis daughter Marien and journey thence for flour, groceries and the mail. The hearts of those pioneers were kind. Their hospitality was unstinted, and their courtesies extended alike to all who cross ed their threshold. Piety went band iu hand with their benevolence and they do lighted in relieving the wants of their fellow creatures. As the settlement grew, to the poor they became benefactors, to the rich examples, even to the day of their dt-aths. Not long after Mr. Blood settled on bis new possesions In the forest, a sturdy young man by Hie name of John D. Hunt, lclt his home to seek his fortune in the Pennsylvania wilderness. He soon 1903. cleared a farm in the Blood settlement and erected thereon a lumber and gri-t mill. But the choicest treasure he dis covered was "A noble woman; Oud'a best gift to man," and on Nov. 30. 1843, Marien Blood became the wife of Colonel John Downer Hunt. This was truly a happy union and to them were born two children a daughter, Clara B the late Mrs. Dr. S. S. Towler, and a sou, Cyrus F., of Marieoville. Col. Hunt was an able assistant to Mr. Blood in estab lishing the new county which was put on an independent basis in 1856, with Mar ienville as the county seat. The new county was christened Forest by Mr. Blood and its principal town, Marien, in honor of the i oble daughter who, more than any other person, deserved such a lasting tribute, since by infusing new strength into ber father by her firmness, and solacing bis weary hours by ber love, she was of wonderful help to him. Coming of good Presbyterian parent age, Mrs. Hunt Imbibed and chetished the principles of that faith, but as there was na hope of such a congregation be ing established at Marien vllle for many years, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt united with the Lutheran cnurch in 1850, and con tinued their membership there till the Presbyterian church ol Marienvllle was organized in the '80's. Or Mrs. Hunt's christian life and character it may be aiid that no better example for coining generations is placed on pages of history. Humility, born of that love that is of greatest value, was her crowning virtue Loyal to her own, but unsectarian in her love and sympathy, her hand and purse were ever ready to help those In need. A woman of remarkable lodgment and christian culture, gentle and winning in her nature, she in turn was universally loved by all wbo knew her. Citcnni- scribed as her lot was for many yenrs, she has left au enviable record and her memory lends a rich perfume and sheds a radiance on the history of our county. Her life blood is closely interwoven with its history and so worthily did she ful fill the duties that devolved upon her that it caures the hearts of all true women of our county to swell with pride that one so noble, so lovely, so worthy is their representative in the history of our county. The sacrifices made by Mrs. Hunt during the early history of Forest county deserve and should receive from a people's gratitude a high and massive monument reared in every heart. Funeral services were held at the Hunt homestead Sabbath afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, and were conducted by her pas tor, Rev. H. F. Earseman. assisted by Rev. Mr. heily of the M. E. Church.

The tendency of medical a.-ience is to ward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been I nl I v demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be pre vented y the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re sults from a cold or from an attack of In fluenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumouia. This nas oeen muy proven In many thous ands of cases in which tills remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can tie relied upon with Implicit confidence. f neumonia otten results from a liirbt cold when no danger is apprehended un til it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the client, then It is announced thai the patient has pneumonia.
