Winter Wheat O. K.
Harrisburg. Reports received at
the state department of agriculture
from" whpnr. ernwlner nprllnna nf rhn
state indicate that the snowfall dur-T
ing the past ten days was so general
that the cold wave caused compara
tively little damage to the winter
wheat. In the southern and central
counties the fall was from two to
four inches and the fields were well
covered before the temperature fell.
Practically all of the wheat sown
in Pennsylvania is winter wheat and
last year 1,289,000 acres were planted,
the yield being 17,400,000 bushels in
round numbers. The acreage sown
this season will probably not run as
high as last owing to the wet weather
which occurred about the time farm
ers generally sow wheat. In a num
ber of i counties the sowing was so
late that the wheat has not had a
chance to come up.

Lawrence, Mass. The new 54-hour
hour law enacted by the last Legist
ture at the Instance of the labor un
ions prohibiting the 'uployment of
women and children in the mills and
factories of Massachusetts for more
than 64 hours in a week, 'was the
cause of a wild outbreak In this city
A riot call was sounded, women
were knocked down and trampled
upon, heads were clubbed, much dam'
age was done to machinery, five per
sons were arrested for inciting to riot
and 12,000 operatives left their work
.either from inclination or by compul
sion.
The mill district of this city resem
bled an armed camp, following the
riotous outbreak.
Before the trouble ended several
persons had been severely injured, a
number of girl operatives had fainted
and six arrests had been made. The
mill agents found that bo many opera
tives had quit work through fear of
the angry strikers that it was decided
to shut down the Wood and Ayer
mills. The Washington mills and
those of the Lawrence Duck Company,
to which the disturbance extended,
were kept in operation, although 800
operatives at the Washington mills
and 400 at the duck mills struck. As
the Wood mill, the largest worsted
plant in the' world, employs 6,000
hands and the Ayer mill 3,500, nearly
11,000 opratlves became idle.
In the Washington mills there was
an indiscriminate hurling of bobbins
and shuttles. Delia Clark, an opera
tive, was badly cut by a shuttle and
Overseers John Blodgett and Thomas
Begin were hit on the head and seri
ously cut.
Considerable damage was done to
mill property. In the Ayer mills the
mob broke down an Iron gate. Inside
the Wood mills the rioters cut many
pulleys, opened fbe sprinklers and did
other damage to the machinery.
Practically all the windows on one
side of the Lawrence Duck Company's
mills were smashed by bricks and
lumps of ice hurled by the mob, 'which
made its last stand there. Although
they had threatened to march on the
big cotton mills of the Pacific Cor
poration, the malcontents were dis
persed by the police before reaching
that point.
Five hundred weavers and spinners
in the Everett and Arlington cotton
mills joined the strikers in the after
noon, and the feeling was general
-that the strike would involve 25,000
mill workers in the city.
Squads of police are patrolling the
streets, and to aid in detecting and
preventing any attempt to damage
mill property during the night a Mtg4
searchlight on the roof of the Wash
ington mill has been called into ser
vice. The police force fought hannVo-hand-with
strikers -for three hours.
The rioters carried Italian and Ameri
can flags.
Strike at Fall Rlyer.
Fall River,' Mass. About 100 spin
ners employed by . the American

did not receive pay for 56 hours work
although they were employed but 64'
hours. .

McKeasport, Pa. This city known
throughout the .commercial world as
the "Tube C.ty," is now a man, Mon
day being the twenty-first unniversa
ry of the incorporation of the old
borough of McKeespoit into a city of
the third class. In commemoration
of the event, an eluboiate banquet
wag held under the auspices of the
McKeesport. Chamber of Commerce,
iu the Elks' temple. Mon of nation
al reputation and men prominent in
the government of the city were
among the speakers. A touch of
brilliancy was added to the banquet
by the presence of many of McKees-
port's well-known women, who occu
pied scats in the gallery, surrounding
the banquet chamoer.
An unfortunate occurrence that
called forth the sympathy of the en
tire population of the city was the
serious Illness of the cli.ef executive
Mayor H. S. Arthur who is suffering
from a severe attack of pneumonia.
Mayor Arthur was to have delivered
an address on the growth of the city
since its incorporation. His illness
caused a change in the program
Formed Mayor William H. Coleman
clerk of the county courts, delivering
the address for Mayor Arthur.
Another disappointment was re
ceived by the committee when word
was received from Congressman Jo
soph G. Cannon, former speaker of
the House, to the effect that he was
unable to attend, owing to the incle
ment weather and that his hta.tti
would not permit the Journey. Ex-
Mayor George V. Guthrie of Pitts
burgh spoke in his stead.
Joining in the celebration with the
Chamber of Commerce were tha
members of the McKeesport Mer
chants', association and tle McKees
port council. Covers were laid for
275. The figure "21" was promt
nent among the decorations in the
hall, which were e.aboiate. Fiags,
bunting and cut flowers were the
ch ef decorations.
Ly. T. L. White, one oflic oldest
residents of thcity, who Tins been
identified witlfthe majority of the
civic improvements; was toastmaster.
Following were thja speakers and
their subjects. Wil.iam H. Coleman,

, Merchants decorated tboir build
lugs, and in the schools the history
of the city was related. Aside from
the decorations of the buildings, no
other sign of the celebration was seen
during the day. There was no street
demonstration and business was car
ried on as usual.
Si nce the incorporation ' of the
city many changes have taken p'.uce
In' the city. New and large build"
ings have been erected and mills' anu
'factories -have been enlarged to such
an extent that one viTsit.ng the city
today would not recognize any of the

borough.
Now that McKeesport has- become

BRYAN'S ROUT

Grafton, W. Va. That Colonel John
T. MtGia.v of this city, Democratic
national commit eeinan was not re
tiled from activity in the Democratic
pontics of this state wlien he was de
leaied for tne t nited States senate
lust wiiuer, was amply ueiiionsiraieu
at the nifccing ot the Democratic na

week when lie successfully routed no
lebs a persona-ie than Co onel Will

Although a stanch friend of tbe
Jseuiaskan, whom he supported loyal
ly ihiee timea when a candidate lor
President, Colonel .MuGraw uelieveu
that tne Commoner was in the wrong
when he attempted to oust Coiouei
James Guiley oi Pennsylvania from
the national conimuuo, and it waa
on the motion of the West Virginian
that tho iikIii of Guilty to a scat on
tbe comumleo was susiuined.
National Committeeman McGiaw
and the Pennsylvania Democratic
leader have been personal tnends
and business associates ter a long
number of years. They have leu
their parties in two Republican stateb
and tougut together under adverse
conditions.
Reluming Democrats say it was
the eloquence of McGraw before the
national committee appealing for his
lnend, Gutley, thai roused Colonei
Biyan to mai.e the vehement speech
in which the i'eiuisyiNunia committee
man was atlucked utimerciiu.iy. Aim
the national committee sustained Mc
Graw by a vole of 'M to IS.
Colonel McGraw iiiso was a leader
in the tight 10 take ihe Democratic
national convention to Baltimore. A
mouth ueloie the meeting lie prom
ised to support Baltimore, and at
Washington he had eliutve of tue con
test which resulted in Uie selection
of that city by the proximity of Hie
.Maryland metropolis to West Virginia,
where hundreds of West Virginia
Detiiociats can attend the convemiou.
Wh.le in attendance at the Wash
ington meeting, Committeeman Mc
Giaw came out unequivocally lor the
nomination of Woourow Wi sou for
President and conducted a large num
ber ot his loi.owers who were in
iisiiingion to the Wilson headquar
ters, where they pledged their fealty
to the Now Jersey candidate to the
discomfiture of the other presidential
possibilities. The statement of .Me
Graw expressing a preleienee for Wil

eilort to secure the West Virginia del

PfcST VICTIMS LIE THERE
Grave of Five Who Died of Smallpon
In 1811 Found In Bellerlca,
Mass.
Closely adjoining the site of the
Boston & Maine car shops in Blllerlca,
the surveyors discovered a gravestone
marking the spot where 100 yeara ago
five persons, victims of smallpox, were
buried.
The stone is still In good condition,
although mossy with age. The foot
stone as well as the headstone li
solid, giving evidence at careful work
on the part of the ones who placed It
there.
The grave was evidently chosen a
century ago as a secluded spot, and
when found trees, underbrush and
shrubbery nearly hid it from sight.
The words on this headstone are:
Erected in memory of and to desig
nate the place where Asa Grost, Jr.,
Levi Frost, Eleanor Farmer, Sarah
Ilodgman and Samuel Batchelder
were buried, who died of smallpox,
August, 1811.
At first the Boston & Maine con
sidered, getting the consent of the
state to remove the stone and the
dust of the bodies, but it has been de
cided to let tbe grave remain where
it is.
So these Ave persons will rest
where they are and their bed ot the
last century will not be disturbed. No
relative of the ones burled seem at
all concerned about the grave and it
is doubtful if any descendants of
them are living In Blllerlca or Lowell
at the present time.

Extreme Penalty Right, He Says, and
Quotes Bible.
Albany, N. Y. Whomsoever shod
dcth man's blood, by man shall his
blood be shed." This was the an
swer of Right Rev. William Croswe.l
Doane, bishop of the Episcopal dio
cese of Albany, whon asked whether
he believes in the abolition of capital
punishment, the question having been
suggested by the attitude of Governor
Dix and Colonel Joseph V. Scott, state
superintendent of prisons, who have
announced their belief that the deatli
penalty should be abandoned in this
state.
"Capital punishment is right," said
the bishop. "The objection to it Is
purely Benliniental. Those who have
been declaring tliemselveB in favor of
Uie removal ot the death penalty over
look the one great significant instruc
tion God's own word which I have
quoted."

Say, but Certainly Attract
Attention.
"Teeth extracted while you wait,"
is the rather superfluous announce
ment of a dentist; while another ad
vertiser appeals to ladles In this se
ductive manner: "Ladles having old
feathers can be re-dyed and made
equal to new." Equally open to mis
construction are the following no
tlces: "All gloves in this window 50o
per pair. . These won't last long at
the price." "Dine here once, and
you'll never dine anywhere else; and
"A competent person wanted to un
dertake the sale of a new medicine
that will prove highly lucrative to th
undertaker."
But perhaps the best of these am
biguous advertisements is that of a
Japanese laundry, which runs thus:
"Contrary to our opposite company,
we will most cleanly and carefully
cheap prices as follows: Ladies, $2
per 100; gentlemen, $1.50 per 100.
After these one reads without a
phock such notices as the following:
Vnder a pair of hob nailed boots
"Unwearable, $3;" in the window of a
small store In Portland "New milk,"
and on a card immediately underneath
"our own make."

whomsoever should bring It to him.

titles and academic honors of the doc
tor, as well as bis place of residence,
lie soon became the talk of the town.
'Do you know," says one, "that a fu
Jious physician has come here, a very
:lever fellow? He must bo very rich,
'or he offers 25 louls for finding his
log." The dog was not found, but pa
dents were.
