Here we linve the possibility of a coal strike; "Pitchfork" Sena tor Tillman is in charge of the Rail way Hate bill; millionaires are chased into bidding; almost everybody with any money being "investigated;" a bill in Congress to limit individual fortunes, and the socialists are de manding that the Federal Govern ment or the State or the municipality shall own ami o|>erate nearly every thing iu sight. At the same time the miners and other unions are insisting upon the "closed shop" principle that 110 man shall have the privilege of working for a living without their permission, and goodness only knows how many other social and economic fermenta tions are under way —and yet the country seems to be going about its business in the usual way. The farm, the mine and the mill are turning out products on an unprecedented scale, internal trade was never so active, exports are of record-wrecking magni tude and everybody seems to be pros perous. That is the peculiarity of this per iod of investigation and elimination. In the past we have had such agita tions, but they have occurred in times of ileprts-ion following panics in which stagnant trade, shrinking values and widespread losses had irritated and augend the people, and stimulat ed demand for exposure and punish ment of the wrongdoing in public and financial places to which the reaction and "hard times" were attributed. More than a year ago symptoms of popular unrest were noted abroad and at home and observers of the notable "revival" movement in England fancied that the unrest foiediadowcd a great wave of religious excitement which would swiep the country. Per haps the revelations of "high lin ance ' in connection with life insur ance companies directed it into secular and political channels. The greed and contempt for moral and statute law exhibited by main rich men afforded just ground for popular indignation, and this has been expanded and fanned iu variou.- directions by cranks and bv self-seek ing ilenii!:;ojues until we have a soil of niud-sliiiging "craze," in which individual reputations far and wide are reckl -sly assailed and the fact that a man is rich is treated as prima facie evidence that lie is a scoundrel '1 liis is to li regrettjd because if all men are to be bespattered the guilt\ ones can no logger be singled out for obloquy, and those assailed, the good as well a.s the bad, are impelled to unite for common defense. It would not be surprising to learn at any inie that the M.l.ionaires' Mutual Protective Union has been organized and that it had demanded concessions from the Amalgamated Mudslinger." Association (Thomas Law-oii, President), cm pled with the threat of a general strike of Million aires and withdrawal of their capital, if tlic-c are not complied with. At the pre.-' lit rate of (*cjmnsiou of indis criminating investigation and crim ination there will soon cease to be any distinction in being the subject of one or the other. Everybody having been investigated or accused, the whole besmirched community will meet comfortably on equal terms. Ihe "craze" has gone so far that the saving American sense of humor will be excited and bring us back to a sane and discriminating view of the situation. -Tim KI:VSTOSE KAOIK, is an eight page monthly journal published in the interest of the Fraternal Order of hagles, in this city, and under the editorship of our young friend, Mr. John ( c. \\ aite. it is a 1 cat budget of news pertaining to the various aer ies of the state and cleverly and well written.

DERRY TOWNSHIP, Mar. 19, 'O6. EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:— Publications in some of our country 1 papers, the last few weeks, haVe been making tfrong impressions upon the public as regards road matters iu Derry township under the new law. The people of our township, when understanding a question, are not of ten found wautifig $p far as prompt action is concerned. On the first Monday in March, as provided by the act of assembly, our supervisors, elected at the recent towdship election, met at the time and place provided iu the law, and being duly sworn as provided, proceeded to organize the board by electing a Chairman, Secre tary and Treasurer; after which they laid out the township into four dis tricts, as again provided in the act, appointing four road masters, three of which promptly accepted their offices, the fourtji one being a steady employe at the 151ue Spring Mansion, aked to be excused, as by accepting the office of road master he might lose his steady job, whereupon a second party was appointed who accepted at once aud all offices were filled. The tax rate was agreed upon as was also a system of improvjd road making adopted, to be put into operation as soon as the weather is favorable in the spring. The Derry township road district is in good shape, with 110 in debtness and nearly three hundred dollars in the treasurer to start with. The reason for making four districts of the township, was that a man on a small farm could act as road master on 7 or 8 miles of road and still at tend to his farm, with a little adition al help, whereas, if he had 20 or 25 miles he could not accept the place and it seemed to prove so, as the divi sions were so easily filled. With such competent men to fill the places, we look forward to the best of prospects and that the new road law will be a success in our township. VOTER. l'en, i'iisli» mill Scissors.

DAVIES OGDEN !, The night was perfect. Over plc , ttiresque Havana a yellow moon pour- I ed a flood of glory, throwing strange | shadows on the old Morro, where the 1 o'Donnell tower light revolved with j Ftendy flashev, and steeping all the world In a subtle, elusive spell. On the Maleeon the band was play ing. Light hearted laughter floated from the thickly clustered benches and carriages. It was not a night to be alone. Jerry Benedict, standing on the edge of it all, felt the beauty and knew the loneliness. Ho had come to Havana at Tom's suggestion. "There Is u good opening down here which might suit you," his brother had written. And now, on arriving, he found Tom gone to Cienfuegos, not to return for several days. Jerry, wandering about by him self, had promptly fallen in love with the quaint little city, its gayly painted houses, dusky white clad men and pretty seuoritas. Havana was not a bad place, he decided. But tonight he was restless. The moon was almost too powerful In its splendor and charm. Turning away from the merry crowd that made him an alien and an outcast, he decided to walk to his brother's house in Yedado. There was a fresh coolness in the air. A walk would do him good. He struck accord ingly into one of the nearby streets. Ou his side the pavement was quite dark, but ucross the way the moon, re tiecting with dazzling brilliancy upon the pink and white houses, showed ev ery detail of window and facade and revealed plainly any one within who leaned out to breathe the air. Suddenly Benedict stopped short. In an upper window, alone, stood u girl, ' certainly the most exquisite girl Bene ! cict ever had seen. Against the black - Less of the room behind, her face, turn ed full toward the street, stood out as i purely pale as a moon flower. Heavy • masses of dark hair crowned the state ly little head, and Just back of the tiny car lay one splendid crimson blossom. I Benedict caught his breath. The girl could not see him there in the dark-. I ness, he thought, and he remained too l * ti an less, staring with eager eyes. Who ' t >uld she be? I The sound of a footfall roused him, and he turned abruptly just at the mo ! i cnt to collide with a slender, careful - 1 y dressed man. Benedict, his eye? still full of moonlight, mumbled some word | of apology, but the other, after a quick ! rlouce at the window, looked back at the young American, and a slow smile began to dawn on his lips. "But you are quite excusable, senor," 1.0 said in pretty English. Again his ryes sought the window. "It Is for me to apologize," he laughed. "The sight of the Seuorita Carraela is reason enough." "You know her then?" burst out Ben edict. Then he started and recollected. *l—l beg your pardon," he stammered distressfully. "But—but"— The man nodded more gravely. "I judge you are a stranger here," he re marked. Young Benedict flushed. "Yes," he said. "I—l suppose It Is » awfully rude to stand In the street and 112 tare that way. But I never had seen any one so beautiful before," he ended up quite simply, the color deepening under his tan. "And I thought per haps—my brother might know," floun dering again. "Mr. Thomas Benedict," be added as the other seemed to wait. The Cuban looked at him more close ly- "ls Tom Benedict your brother?" he asked, and In some way his voice had altered. "Tom! Ah!" Then he lifted his hat. ' "Good night," he said politely. "And let me give you a piece of advice. It is not unusual to stand under a win dow, to wateli from a point of van tage, or even to speak." And again he laughed. "But you, senor"—and his tone held n Earning tone—"for you, senor, it would be best not to try it. You are but a stranger here, and our customs are not yours." And before the somewhat indignant Benedict could recover speech tlid l stranger had bowed, replaced his cig arette between his lips and was gone. The girl at the window, too, had van ished, and Benedict, accepting perforce the other's advice, walked on. But the sight here and there In the dusky street of a man leaning against the iron bars which guard the lower win dows. exchanging low remarks to soin« lirnate, evoked strange longings. | In the morning, however, Jerry could laugh at the whole episode. A girl's face at a window—surely he had seen I plenty such. And if not quite so won derful as this one—well, the Cuban's | r< marks had been well meant and were . worth remembering. So he idled away j an hour or two in the Oalle Obispo, ; with its gay shop windows and bright awnings stretched the width of the narrow little street. Then he went to the bank for letters and had luneheon at the Englaterra, where he looked in v.iin for a familiar face. lie did not n ran togo near that street, her street, again, he assured himself. And yet somehow as 5 o'clock drew near he found his feet taking him in that direc tion. lie scolded himself, turned and b 1 ran to walk away. But it seemed foolish to avoid a street Just because a pretty girl lived there, and It was the shortest way home. He was sure tl at It was the shortest way home. The nex* moment he was pacing rap- Idly along It. As he drew near the house where he U ul seen her, however, his step began to idackcu. Would she—could she be there? lie looked, nardly daring to hope. All at once his heart thumped madly. She was there, and she waa looking straight at him. He could have sworn that she reeognlzed him. Yet how was that possible? Aud then slightly, almost imperceptibly, but to Benedict quite unmistakably, she bent . her head. Tom was still away. There was ' nothing to do. Jerry fell into the way of passing through that street once qtJ twice a day. The girl was usually fti he* window. lie would bow gravely. She would respond with the faintest smile. And one never to bo forgotten j afternoon there fell at his feet a small I scarlet flower. The night Tom came home he watch ed his brother throughout dinner with puzzled, thoughtful eyes. He did not knoW much about the "kid," he reflect ed, nor how he took things. "I saw Don Enrique Galdos today," ] he began abruptly. Then, as Jerry seemed unenlightened, he added, "He Ba!r* tint he '• ■ . ret *--vi ou« u'«r!»t out ('JO 1. 'U. thai Cuau!

"And now It seems you have been compro mising the girl and"— broke in Jerry, wildly astonished. "Why, I've never even met her. Wouldn't I like to, though!" "If you really wish it 1 suspect I can arrange it," said Tom slowly. "Donna Carmela is undeniably lovely. Hut do you realize what meeting her means?" "Why, that I met her, I suppose," re torted Jerry. But Tom shook his head. "It means more than that," he said quietly. "The Martinez are old fash ioned people. Their ideas are very strict. You may court through the win dow if you like, but once taken to the house an engagement is settled." "Engagement!" gasped Jerry. "En gagement to a girl you never have even spoken to!" "That is the custom," said Tom. "And It is that or leave Havana. In fact, If Don Enrique had not known that you were my brother you might have got yourself into serious trouble. Luckily we are great friends, but even •as it is don't choose hastily, dear boy," he added kindly. "Of course it may have been the merest flirtation on your part, and you couldn't be ex pected to understand." "And the girl?" cried Jerry. "She thinks"— "She naturally knows nothing of American ways," answered Tom grave ly. For a moment Jerry sat with whirl ing brain. Become engaged to a per fect stranger? That he was longing to meet her he knew; that he would prob ably be only too glad of the chance to marry her he thought most likely. Yet to plunge into it this way! And then he thought of the rose which had fallen at his feet and straightened himself. "I should like to meet the Senorita Carmela," he said. "llow soon may we go?" TREACHEROUS RIVER BEDS. A HomeKtondt'r'H Out lit When Caught In tlie QUICUNIIMIN. The "mover's" wagon, canvas covered and travel worn, Is always picturesque. The traveling home for a family aud all their worldly goods, from furniture to poultry, is still a familiar sight on | western roads. The spirit of dissatis faction and longing for newer fields that lurks under that brood brimmed bat is a spark'of the same tire that has been the theme of our history. By some stream under the cotton woods of an evening you may sometimes see this half gypsy, and the fire, with its ac companying smell of bacon and beans or the song and accordion, will suggest as you drive by why the roving has al ways its fascinations. There are, however, the long dusty days of travel and sore backed horses, the occasional swollen fords, and al ways present, though seldom encoun tered, are the quicksands of the dry bottom streams. They are Indistin guishable and silent. The shallow rib bons of water flow over them as over all the rest of the river bed, but once fairly in their grasp there is a remorse less, certain settling, which a struggle only hastens and which ends in an ever lasting disappearance. Cattle and horses ape caught in it oftenest, and, if seen in time, can be pulled out with a rope and horse, but into Its hungry maw have gone horses, wagons and men, and even a locomotive, going through a bridge, has been known to disappear In this bottomless mystery.— Allen True in Outing. The Moon's Plume*. The phases of the moon are caused by its relative position to the earth and the sun, so that when it is full moon In one part of the earth it is full moou in all parts of the earth, and so for all Its other phases. The moon revolves around the earth once in twenty-seven days, though on account of the earth's revolution around the sun the mean duration of the lunar mouth—that is, the time from new moon to new moon —is twenty-nine days, twelve hours anil forty-four minutes. The "dark ot the moon" is that half of the lunar month during which the moon shines least at night. All In the Bill.

Now the Gibson art supplement gives every body an opportunity to collect the artist's works, and there will be few homes that will not have a gbod representation with- In the next few weeks. For the time being the collection of Gibson drawings lias taken the place of the collection of post cards In Philadel phia, and the fad is certain to spread to all of the towns where the pictures are made so easily obtainable. The picture which The North American is to issue next Sunday Is "A Castle In the Air." It is one of the most forceful of Gibson's works, and teaches a broad moral lesson to young people and old alike. BARRIER BREAKERS. Peter Cooper—Wns only one year nt Bchool.

" Tired Nervous When you feel languid, tired, nervous and irritable, your vi tality is low—your supply of nerve energy exhausted, and your system running down for lack of power, The organs of the body arc working poorly, or not at all, and you arc not getting the nourishment needed. This soon impoverishes the blood and in stead of throwing off the im purities, distributes it all through the body. This brings disease and misery. Feed the nerves with Dr. Miles' Nervine, a nerve food, a nerve medicine, that nourishes and strengthens the nerves, and see how quickly you will get strong and vigorous. "My wife suffered with nervousness previous to a recent nttuck of typhoid fever, but after her recovery from th« fever, she was much worse, and could hardly control herself beintr exceed ingly nervous when the least excited. She was very restless at night, and never had a *ood night's rest. She also suffered much from nervous head ache. Dr. Miles' Nervine was recom mended by a friend. After the first threo dosrs she had a pood night's rest, and at tho end of the first week's treatment she was wonderfully Im proved. Continued use of Nervine has completed her entire cure."
