AVAS the verdict in favor of Judge Swayne made

WHEN the President was receiving the plaudits of
some two hundred thousand people gathered in Washing

A PHILADELPHIA newspaper estimates that 40,000
illegal votes were cast in that city in the recent election,
and yet Philadelphia appears to be not disturbed in the
least.
THE President's Inaugural address made it pretty
clear that we want a big navy not "to bully smaller pow

by larger powers.
Dr.. WILLIAM OSLER reiterates his declaration
that man's creative genius is useless after 40 and that his

THE distinguished educator who, at the education

AN organization has beeu formed iu Chicago to

notice of the Intelligencer.
INVENTION of a kind of ink that will fade after

GOVERNOR PENNYPACKER rode in the Inaugural
parade ami seemed to enjoy everything but the cameras of
the amateur photographers along the way. lie well knows
there is more than one way of producing caricatures.
HAS the country before had a President who could
welcome with equal enthusiasm a crowd of cowboys and a
Ilavard College club'? Roosevelt may be a Republican,
but he is the most Democratic President we have ever
had.
A RECENT consular report states that the towel and
soap have penetrated to China. If all the laundrynien
have not left the Mother country to come to us great
things in the way of cleanliness may come to pass ill the
Celestial Empire.
Gov. PJSNNYPACKEB of Pennsylvania fliil not in
vito a newspaper man (o his reception and all the news
paper men of Pennsylvania continue to feel toward tbe
governor just as they did before. Au interstate court of
arbitration might patch up a truce in Pennsylvania.
THE czar is actually engaged in fitting out another
squadron togo upon the deep seas and take the risk of
seeing torpedo boats galore all about. If he will send out
a tracer and liud the squadrons now supposed to be look
ing for trouble and gather his vessels all into one fleet he
may have something formidable.
THE state of Indiana will make an attempt to shut
the foul and unhealthful cigarette out of the state. The
effort may be a failure. Tbe courts will be asked to say
so and every resource of a powerful combination will be
used to have the law nullified in some way. The efforts
is commendable, but it is probable that too much is being
tried.
IT is true, as Col. George Harvey of New York,
one of the foremost of American editors, says, that there
has been a great transformation in the making of news
papers in recent years, but the change has not been all for
the best. There is much sameness in the making of news
papers. There is great need of specialization. News
papers are so cheap that one may read more than one.
The Intelligencer is filling a special field and does not care
to crowd out any others.
THE seed corn educational movement is spreading
all through the corn belt. Specialists go about the country
on special trains telling the farmers how they can secure
good seed corn, how to test their seed and how to plant
and cultivate so as to get the best results. It is all folly
to claim that this or that college man has enluuiced the
value of a state's corn crop so many million dollars, but
it is certain that if this campaign is kept up for a few
years the corn crop will be larger and the farmers will be
the gainers thereby by many millions of dollars annually.
And the farmers are not the only ones who will be
gainers.
THE president of the New York board of healih
has made some very strong statements in regard thedangtr
of infection from germs which have been carried in paper
money. He would have the government buy all the old
bills and burn them and provide in some way"that old aud
ragged paper bills should be turned into the treasury.
Aside from the danger to public health there is good rea
son for having the old bills destroyed and new ones substi
tuted. Much of the prejudice against paper money comes
from the condition of the bills. Paper money is good when
it is new and may be very bad when it is old. Keep the
bills new aud clean aud there will be less demand for
coin.
Ho you happen to have in your possession a > 10,-
000 greenback ? If so, the treasury department would be
pleased to hear from you. Somebody, somewhere, holds
the single 810,000 bill which is still out-standing and
which for a considerable period the government has been
awaiting au opportunity to retire. The amount of United
States notes originally issued in the SIO,OOO denomination
was 810,000,000, and the same amount has been issued in
$.1,000 notes. Of the former there remains but one that
has not been surrendered for retirement, and only two
notes of the latter denomination are still in the hands of
the public. It would be interesting to know where these
three greenbacks are held, if they have not been accident
ally lost or destroyed. The largest national bauk notes
now issued are for 81,000. ,
IDEAL NEWSPAPER KEPT IN VIEW.
II BELIEVE in journalistic sanity, seriousness,
ft) refinement and responsibility. No man can ex
emplify all those qualities to the limit in every
issue of a newspaper. He can only try to avoid
flagrant past errors and to do better day by day.
The constant gravitation of representee newspapers
is toward what is better. The lapses which befall
them are attributable in part to destructive competi
tion and in other part to the exciting character of
public events affected by a relation to public inter
ests and to public duties.
The ideal newspaper would only please the ideal
reader. The number of him is not large enough to
meet the expense of catering to him—exclusively.
But few as he is, he is always in the mind of the
conscientious editor, and the latter always tries to
bring him before the view of the average reporter
or critic. The average reporter competes with his
kind and they all strive to get the most news, to get
the first news, and arc not averse to getting the
worst news. It about all has togo in, because one
newspaper is as truly affected by what another news
paper does or will have as one college is by what
another college or another university will have or
provide.
Public men are finding that what may bo called
the rowdy press can do to them no harm. Decent
newspapers are finding that rowdy public men can
do to them no harm—and no good—in the long run.
There are rowdy public men. There are rowdy
newspapers. They have a natural likeness and ac
uity, ono for the other. The decent sort of public
men and the decent sort of newspapers are letting
the rowdy sort alone.
Journalism can well be the forerunner, the in
spiration, the torch bearer of political parties, but
should never be their impoverished dependent, their
pampered casemaker, their servilo phonograph nor
their bonded beneficiary. ->
ROOSEVELT THE PRESIDENT.
®III£ weather was not as auspicious for tho in
augural ceremonies as we hoped it might be and
yet it was not so bad as to interfere with the
parade or disturb any other part of the programme.
In fact the skies cleared early in the morning and
the sun shone brightly through the day, so that the
vast crowd assembled to participate in or witness
the ceremonials were well favored. In other re
spects, moreover, the event was rarely successful.
No inaugural in recent years, in fact no previous
inaugural, excited so general an interest throughout
the country, or so non-partisan an interest, for that
matter.
President Roosevelt has entered upon an ad
ministration of the great office of President of the
United States under a commission direct from the
people. To what extent he will justify tho confi
dence thus reposed in him remains to be seen. He
has grown a good deal since his accidental inductior
into the office a little more than three years ago and
appears to be learning still. That he is patriotic
...liXLitu of »<. .1,.i.i.i dull tinit is encouraging, liul
his abnormal lust for power is ominous and his abso
lute disregard of the obligations of the laws and hit
oath of office is an ever present danger.
It is not true that his popular majority or his
preponderance in the electoral vote was unprece
dented. It is not true that there is a greater dis
regard for party lines now than ever. No ono whe
has intelligently studied the history of the country
will make such assertions, yet they are made frs
(piently and it looks as if tho President believes
them. That is another source of danger for he is
likely to interpret it as a warrant to make his capri
ces ratherthan tho law tho guide of his administia
tion. But we hope for better things.
OH, FOR A REMEDY !
3SN'T it nice on Mill street '■ The pavements arc
in fairly good condition with the exception of s
few gorges we are forced to encounter on almost
every occasion we have togo several squares. A
number of merchants have moved their stores—tc
the outside—and are thus blockading our thorough
fare. We dare not step on our newly-paved street
for fear of swamping in the dirt and filth that has
been allowed to accumulate. At different places,
where the merchants cleared a path from ono side
of the street to the other, we find standing watei
over an inch deepNifter the least moderation or n
little rain.
To overcome these horrid conditions it has beer
suggested that some of our idle young men wear
gum boots and convey us from point to point by
means of a hand-chair. This would work all right
as long as the person was young and beautiful and
of the opposite sex. But some of us who do not
have gum boots and are not young and beautiful
will be forced to roll up our trousers, —ladies of
course excepted—tie our shoes tightly and wade
through tho slop to our shoes' tops.
Some means ought to be employed by which to
I letter the conditions. Last Fall tho sand and dirt
should have been swept off; now we suffer. Give
us a remedy or get to work and have it scraped ofl
and cleaned away.
IS CONVERSATION A LOST ART?
3N his eloquent memorial address at the ceremon
ies in memory- of tho late Senator Hoar, dwell
ing upon the wit and wisdom which garnished
the talk of the Massachusetts statesman and made
him so delightful companion, Senator Depew found
occasion to speak of the present day as a time "when
conversation is becoming a lost art, became the shop
has invaded the drawing room and tho dinner table,
and cards have captured society/'
Along with this rare art of conversation, and
because of a kinship with it, have gone also (he
good old habit of writing up gossipy diaries for the
delight of future generations of gossip lovers, and,
what is more to be regretted than all, the practice
of writing personal letters stretching out over page
after page in the close, fine handwriting of former
days, such as is now rarely soon. Who has not had
a turn in ransacking and conning over files or bun
dles of old letters which passed between lovers or
friends half a century or more ago, and wondered,
while he delighted in their easy Sow and free and
full expression of fancy and sentiment, how the men
and womon who did the writing found time for it
all.
NOT THE ONLY ONE§.
AN estimate has recently been prepared of the
fortunes made by some of the members of the
New York police department. Speculating in
real estate and stocks has been the favorite means of
acquiring these huge sums, most of their possessors
have said.
1 lie various retired chiefs of the department
arj estimated to have accumulated fortunes varing
from $250,000 to $2,000,000.
The Danville Chief also soars high. He has
air castles.
- IT is found that the Filipino students who were
~ent to southern institutions of learning have not done as
well us those who went to colleges in the northern states.
Hie southern students are said to treat the students un
kindly. The race prejudice is strong among them. In
the northern colleges the Filipino students are bettor treat
ed aud have done well.
Publish the Laws.
I Representative Reitmeyer, of Ly
( corniug county, has introduced in the
j House a bill providing tor the publi
cation of the Acts of Assembly from
' session to sassiou in a sufficient nuin*
I ber of newspapers in eachcouuty. For
, years there las been discussion ot ihe
necessity of such a measure. Every
two y rt is <4 1 r.e number of import
■* Uitaa.d passed and with I lie ex
ception of a comparatively favored
I class these acts are unknown to the
people. As a losult theic ate many
i violations of law through ignorance of
, these enactments, especially such acts
as those ic/ularing the sale of foods,
j the hunting of game and fish, and
similar treasure*.
j There has been much hardship as a
ie-iult of legislation of this class and
the propose 1 law is oue that will com
nie id itself to the peaple of the Com
mon wealth. While ignorance of the
j law is no otcu.-e under our system ol
I urisprudejee tho fact that new laws
are unknown to the to be
a mitigation of the ofleuses frequently
charge 1 against then. About all thai
in my | ersous kuo w of the new Acts oi
Assembly is what they see in a frag
j montary way from time to time dur
ing the co isideracion of tho bills by
j the Legislature. Mr. Keittneyer has
th • right idea. As New York has been
publishing the laws of that State in
1 the newspapers for many years there
j ought to b? no opposition to the bill.
Origin of Mary's Little Lamb.
The "Alary who had a little lamb"
was a Massachusetts little girl. '1 he
lamb was thrust out of the pen by its
unnatural mother. Mary took care of
it, and it became a great pet.
One day when the lamb was to be
taken to the pasture, no lamb was to
he found. Hearing Mary singing on
her way to school, her pet had quiet
ly trotted after. On reaching the door
Mary carried it iu and hid it in hei
desk. There it lay perfectly quiet,
coveted with Mary's sha\Vl until Mar)
was sent to her spelling class. The
lamb trotted after her, and as chil
dren then were very much like chil
dren now, of course they laughed
The teacher reproved Mary, until sin
explained the situation, when she al
lowed her to take her pet homo.
It happened on that morning i
young man named Ilawlson, who wai
preparing for Harvard, wasatschool
A lew days later he produced threi
verses of the poem. How they cann
to be published is not known. Tin
young man died soon after, no
Knowing of the immortality of hi)
verses. Mary's lamb lived many yean
and finally came to its death at thi
horns of au angry cow.
Drinking mid Smoking.
"The prevalent Idea that drinklnj
aud smoking are companion vices Is al
together wrong," said a physician wh<
has made a special study of dipsoma
nia. "1 find, on the contrary, that tin
habitual drunkard is not abuormallj
addicted to the use of tobacco. He maj
use the weed as a lesser stimulam
when not strongly under the influence
of alcohol, hut when the drink gets
firmly Intrenched in his system be caret
nothing for tobacco, for then it has los;
its force and Its influence upon his
nerves. Of course I mean in extreme
cases.
"On the other hand, it Is a ratliei
curious fact that in the case of the
moderate drinker, who also smokes, the
cutting oft' of his supply of tobacco will
Increase his appetite lor alcoholic bev
erages, and while at first the liquet
will not affect him nearly so much as
when he is smoking, in the end it wili
do him up. Consequently it is safe tc
assume that the man who always used
liquor and tobacco in moderation will,
If he gives up tobacco, take more
strongly to liquor. In fact, tills is tie
assumption; it has been demonstrated
on numerous occasions."— Philadelphia
Record.
lie H'HN III* Own tirandfnttier.
Of all genealogical curiosities the one
set forth below is probably the oddest
a singular piece of reasoning to prove
that a man may be his own grandfather
Here it is: There was a widow (Anne
and her daughter (Jane) and a mar
(George) and his son (Henry). This
widow married the son, and the daugh
ter married the father. The widow was
therefore mother (In law) to her bus
band's father and grandmother to hei
own husband. By this husband she
had a son (David), to whom she was, ol
course, great-grandmother. Now, tlx
son of a great-grandmother must be
grandfather or granduncle to the per
son to whom his mother was or is
great-grandmother, but in this instance
Anne was great-grandmotlier to hiin
(David); therefore David could not bt
other than his own grandfather.
Prodigality of I.lfe In Ancient Eg:7pt,
The reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandered away the labor and Uvea
of the people is perfectly startling. In
this respect, as the monuments yet re
maining abundantly prove, they stand
alone and without a rival. We may
form some idea of the almost incred
ible waste when we hear that 2,000
men were occupied for three years In
carrying a single stone from Elephan
tine to Sais, that the canal of the Red
sea alene cost the lives of 120,000
• Egyptians and that to build one of the
pyramids required the labor of 300,000
I men for twenty years.
Stagnation I* Death.
The sun would be consumed by Its
own ardor if it did not shine. Nature
knows nothing of hoarding. The sun
gives away its gold without ostenta
tion. The ocean gives its vapors to tha
clouds, the clouds return them to the
earth, the rivers to the sea. There is a
constant exchange between lungs and
leaves. Stagnation is death. Give to
get; get to give.
The Colonel—Well, boys, this is my
last night at the club. I've got to
be a fearful menace to society, so
there's nothing left for me to do but
go away and be a hermit for the rest

The Chorus—Why?
The Colonel—Because I've lived here
so long I know everybody's family his
tory.
The Chorus—What of that?
The Colonel—And. confound it, I've
got into the habit of thinking aloud.—

WINB SUIT AGAINST
CATAWISSA RAILROAD
Bonds Held by Bratten Estate
Must be Converted Into
Preferred Stock—Argu
ed Several Times.
The Supreme Court, in an opinion
handed down by Justice Dean, yes I
(erday decided a question of interest ■
to holders of railroad bonds in sua- I
taininir the suit of James H. Bratten's
estate against the Catawissa Railroad
Company. I) Stuart Hubinson, conn- i
sel for the estate, had unsuccessfully
argued four times for a retrial in the
lower court.
The Catawissa Railroad Company 1
was incorporated under the act of
March 21, 1860, wilh a capiial stock
of $3,350,000, of which $2,200,000
was preferred and $1,150,000 common
of the par value of ¥SO each. Under
the act of incorporation it was au
thorized lo extend its road to Wil
liamsport, and was granted authority
to increase its preferred stock for that
purpose.
The company in 1870 decided to
extend its road to Wllliamsport, and
lo pay therefor bonds were issued for
$1,300,000, secured by mortgage up
on its property. In the mortgage
and in the bonds there was contained
a covenant that the holder should
have the right to convert them into
preferred stock.
In 1900, when the bonds were about
maturing, William B. Bratten and D.

Chnrchea as Placea «112 Refasre la War
Our ancestors transacted a good deal
of business of one kind or another in
and about their churches. To begin
with, the churches of old England in
turbulent times were regarded as
places of safe custody for public and
private property. In the border laud
of England and Scotland the idea was
carried out still more completely, and
churches, or at least their towers, be
came regular fortresses and not in
frequently were objects of offense and
defense. We may note in rural Eng
land that in the case of ancient church
es the towers are often not merely dis
proportionate in size to the rest of the
church, but are carefully and strongly
built, evidently with an object.
Even in peaceful Surrey and Sussex
the belfries are veritable strong rooms
with barred windows and massive
doors and often contain a massive
treasure clrest. Hither, at the first
alarm, money and valuables were hur
ried, for beyond the security of thick
walls and bars and bolts there was an
ngis of sanctity which lu a supersti
tious age protected the buildiug from
the most ruthless of foes. The fortress
like construction of many of the bor
der land churches is an interesting
study of autiquarians.—Loudon Stand
