We have waited patiently for many years, but have heard of only two kinds of hailstones. Why are all hailstones that are not "as big as walnuts," "as larife as hens' eggs?" This is au extra ordinary meteorological fact, if fact it lie. Are there no hailstone* as big as hens, or Lima beans, or olives? A hail stone the size of a small cocoanut would l»e a relief from the monotony. But hailstones will only come in two sizes, and clouds are ulways "no bigger than a man's hand."- N. Y. Sun. You're another—these clouds were as bit; ss all creation outside of Butler county, and one of the hailstones that fell in Milleretown was six feet in diam eter. Highway Robber}'* Under the former Constitution of the State, when corporations were chartered by special act of Assembly, it was the custom of speculators at every session to secure a variety of charters for all imaginable purposes, which they kept on hand and peddled out to aßy com pany that might be in need of special privileges. Innumerable passenger railway companies were chartered in this way, with no other pnri>ose than to pre empt as many streets as possible and hold them againts the future formation of a bona fide company that actually proposed to lay tracks. The new com ' panv would then have to buy the fiau chine of the speculators. Oi - of the important purposes of the Constitutional Convention was to put an end to this kind of trading. The dis tinct intent of the present Constitution is not only that the incorporation of ! railway and other companies shall l>e regulated by general law, but that there shall be no such speculative pre emption of public /ranchises as was formerly permitted. All existing charters under which business had not already been commenced in good faith were declared void. The new railway bills now in course of rapid transit through the Legislature return to the worst features of the old system and antagonize the whole spirit and purpose of the Constitution. Tbey provide, in effect, that »ny p-rsons may form a company and secure a charter to build railways on, over or under any specified streets, with the consent of the local authoiities; but they shall have two years to obtain that consent, two years more to begin operations, and fi\ e years after that to complete the work, and meanwhile—for nine years at least —they will hold an exclusive monopoly. This vicious provision is significant of the speculative purpose of these bills. Their introduction has been ingeniously managed to have the appearance of pro moting competition in railway service while in fact they would exclude it. The first comers would simply stake off any unoccupied claim and hold it tor a future trade, much as the special chart ere used to be traded in under the old Constitution. It is not necessary that tbey should put up any security or make any more than a pretense of be ginning business. The streets would belong to them, with the consent of the Councils, and any one who wished to buiid a railway must deal with them. It is fruitless to nrge that this is in violation of the purpose of the Constitu tion. The recent spirit of interpreta tion leaves Constitutional restrictions in effective. It is highway robbery of a flagrant kind, taking tho public high ways and public privileges for private use, without compensation and without responsibility. ,The constitutional re quirement of the consent of the local authorities cannot be evaded, but that affords little security, and the local au thorities are not authorized or directed to exact any payment, to impose any conditions or to retain the power to re voke a misused grant. The speculative purpose of these bill s is further indicated by the entirely ne# right which is granted to companies in corporated under either of them. "To sell or lease their road and fran chises or parts thereof to other passen ger railway companies, or to acquire the roads, property and franchises of other passenger railway companies by lease or purchase." This is a power which the present street railway companies do not possess, but which might be of great use to them. They could not get it for them selves; tbey may be willingto -'acquire it from others. Moreover, the Focbt bill expressly conveys to corporations organized under it the right of eminent domain, without the restrictions that limit its exercise by the steam railroads. They are empow ered also to occupy any turnpike, so that a company acquiring this franchise could operate a continuous line, "partly elevated and partly underground, with surface rights.'' They are authorized to issue bonds to the amount of the capital stock "authorized"—not paid m —-&j that there need be no cash outlay in stock, a right never before granted in such legislation. There are particular provisions in one or the other of these bills which indi cates a particular parpose as in the clause which evidently refers to Brojul street; bat the essential viciousness of the composite plot iB not in such details. The schecne creates a new kind of cor poration, with now and enlarged powers It purposes to convey, for the mere I'jtking, to a combination of men as yet unnamed franchises of incalcu lable value and powers that ought never to be put in private hands, and author ize them to trade upon these franchises for their own profit, and in no way for the profit of the public. No more dangerous, more infamous legislation than this has ever been pro posed in Pennsylvania. It is conceived in secrecy and is to be consummated in deceit, under the whip and spur of a corrupt combination, to rob the people of rights that belong to them, and that their representative!, cannot alienate from their control without betrayal of their trust. Whatever fit legislation is required in this State to facilitate legitimate enter prise and promote the public conven ience, ought to be fully provided. It need not be dono in the dark. The secrecy attending these bills and tho indecent haste with which they are urged wouid condemn them were their faults far less glaring than they are. They are not to be opposed because they would promote railway-building. Their immediate effect is more likely to be obstructive Ja> the competition that is desired, and their ultimate effect to create monopoly. They are to be op posed because they are fundamentally vicious, snrrendoriiuf into the hamls of si*cnlators, without payment, without security, without restriction, the powers of the Commonwealth that were in tended to be exorcised for the public profit and advantage. A corporation enjoying any of tlw» franchises conveyed under these bills ought to pay for them, and some of these extraordinary fran chises ought not be conveyed at all. The whole scheme is a conspiracy of greed that must -win public execration for all who lend themselves to its sup port—Ex. Sarvers Station. Mr. and MM.

The mysterious elevated and sub way railway bills were passed finally in the Senate Friday morning by a vote of $2 to fl. Senator Keyser. of Philadel phia was the only Quayite to oppose the bills aud be only voted against them. He is alleged to be concerned for the Union Traction company of Philadel phia and his vote was cast against the bills. He. to an extent, disposed of the minor that the bills were intended to benefit the Union Traction people in Philadelphia, who, in the same rumor, were alleged to have made peace with the administration and its political ma chine. The Senators voting against the bills were J. Henry Cochran. Lycoming E. M. Ilerbst, Berks, Democrats; J.. Bayard Henry, Philadelphia, Alexander Stewart. Franklin, and Samuel Weiss, Lebanon. anti-Quay Republicans, and Mr. Keyser. Qnayite. Senator Weller, Bedford. HUti yuay Republican, and Senator Miller, Cumberland, Democrat, voted for the bills. For quick action the Senate has broken its record on these bills. Within 4$ hours after their introduction they were passed fianally. Monday night, the underground rail road bills were started through the House. The mysterious bills carry remarkable privileges and here are some of then: To appropriate and hold to the exclu - sion of all others the right to construct railway lines over or under any street or road, public or private, in the state. To appropriate and hold to the exclu sion of all others, the right to construct surface lines on all streets or roads not now occupied by lines of existing com panies, or on which the track.*, of the latter are not used daily for transporta tion of passengers. To use to the exclusion of subsequent applicants, the tracks of existing com pauies over all bridges and for 2500 feet at any point on any street or road where a pretense of necessity for circuits or connections may be set up. To condemn and take any citizen s land, residence,factory or store, with no other restriction than that the aggriev en party shall be paid a compensation fixed by a jury appointed by the court. To hold absolutely these privileges for nine years, during which time not a car need be operated, nor a passenger car ried. To acquire these nine-year titles to all available trolly sites in the state with out the conveyance of a dollar's worth of 1 Kinds or securities tor the faithful performance of any obligation to the public, expressed or implied. To sell, lease or dispose of in any man ner all the above outlined rights and privileges at any time during the nine years, or a longer period, if the local au thorities shall consent to extend the li censes. To do all this without paying a cent beyond the usual incorporation fees into the treasuries of either township, I borough, city or state. So certain are the promoters that the bills will pass and receive the approval of the Governor that it is openly boasted | in Harrisburg that the articles of incor poration for a new company under these acts are prepared and in the capital ready for presentation to Secretary of the Commonwealth Griest as soon as the name of Governor Stone is attached to the bills. Those who have been care fully inspecting the two measmes have discovered that both omit the customary requirement for advertising the inten tion to apply for a charter. This appears in the general corpora tion :ut of 1*74 and its supplements, and requ . -is that the object of the proposed incorporation, the names of the incor porators, and the amount of the capital stock shall be advertised for thirty days in the city or county where it is to bo located. Until this provision of the law is complied with under all other cor poration acts the Secretary of the Com monwealth and the Governor are pro hibited from granting letters patent. On Tuesday the railway bills parsed the House, on second reading, amid scenes of wild confusion. When section 10 was reached Mr. Coray, Rupublicau, of Luzerne, made the hit of the day in the way of speech making. He moved to amend by pro viding that the franchises should go 1-0 the highest bidder. "I have here two little pieces of paper which I think will interest the House, particularly the stal warts. They are relics of a great man. and I prize them highly. The first ib a letter headed, ' Headquarters Republican National Executive committee. New York city.' It is signed M. S. Quay.' The other is an extract from the plat-: form adopted by the Pennsylvania Re publican State convention on August j 27, IH»S. "The geutleman who writes the letter commends the principles of the platform to my consideration, as I was a member of the House then. The platform stari out: 'We decry the growiug lise of money in politics,'and winds up with. 'We are against the granting of exclu sive franchises covering public comfort and conveyances. Corporations enjoy ing public privileges should be made to pay for them ' " Mr. Coray declared that he is uow standing on the platform which was constructed when Mr. Quay was in political trouble and when he was raid ing the corporations of the State. "Mr. Quay has shifted his position some what." Mr. Coray declared. "I was in favor of Mr. Quay's platform when he originally issued it, but he has abandon ed that position He is now the chief promoter of these bills, and he now pro poses to do just what he declared should not be done, in this letter over his own signature." In order to get the bills through and keep them on schedtde time the morning session was extended- well into the afternoon. was domiciled at the Executive Mansion, and WHS quoted as saying that the bills were his, and must lie passed. burin# the day the Governor appoint ed ii number of new Justices, and among them J. Peter Goettman of Lan caster twp., this Co., and also signed the following bills of general import, thus making them the laws of the State: Authorizing the abandonment by turnpike or highway companies of such portion, or portions of their turnpike, road or highway as are separated as to ownership or possession from the long est continuous portion thereof remain ing in the possession or ownership of such companies after the appropriation or condemnation to public use of an in termediate portion or portions. Supplementing an act providing for the classification of townships by impos ing a penalty for non-payment of town ship taxes in certain cases. Providing that where any corporation or company authorized to become surety in any bond or undertaking in any case for the preformance of any trust or duty, an action, suit or other legal pro ceeding may be brought on said bono or undertaking in the county in which it has been approved. Amending an act regulating l*»ronghs so as to designate who shall make appli cation for a borough previously incor porated to become subject to the restric tions and possess the powers and privi leges conferred by the act. Validating the indebtedness of munic ipalities incurred in the erection and construction of water works. Conferring upon mutual savings fund or building and loan associations the right to receive in writing, bids of pre mium for priority, and making valid all such bids heretofore accepted.

Will She Choose Dr. Experi ment or Dr. Experience? Put the question plainly to any woman: Will you cnoose the experienced or the experimenting doctor? and there's no doubt about the answer. What woman wants to be the subject of experiments, to drag out weary months while the unskilled practitioner vainly tries various medicines, and charges the sick woman liberally for his experimental failures? Yet willing or unwilling a great many women have to go through just such an ordeal. Their disease baffles the local physician. He tries all he knows to effect a cure and fails. Sometimes this goes on for mqoths, sometimes for years, the woman meantime suffering daily torments. Perhaps the difference between the •doctoring" of e*periment and experi ence cannot be better shown than in the following statement: " for seven years I was confined to bed most of the time," writes Mrs. M. P. Davis, of Honaker, Russell Co.. Va. " I had four doctors and they said I could not be cured. I had ulceration of uterus and female weakness, so I coula not stand on my feet but a short time; had bearing-down sensation, pain in the •mall of my back. My stomach and bowels, also legs and feet would swell, and everything I ate hurt me. I could not sleep wellj was so short of breath I could not lie down at night; had sore ness and tenderness over Uterus, toubled with palpitat ion of heartj and suffered with headache all 4 the tipie. I would Set blind and have fainting spells, had ark rings around my eyes ana my eyes seemed Dloodshot; suffered from pain ful periods ; could not lie on my left side. I would have numb spells, pains around my heart every morning, my lungs hurt me a great deal and my shoulders too. I would spit up blood at times, memory was poor, hearing was bad, hands and feet were cold all the time, and I had chills and night-sweats. After the doc tors said I could not be cured I got hold of one of Dr. Pierce's Memorandum Books and read how he had cured so many patients afflicted like I was so I thought his medicine might help me. I wrote to Dr. Pierce for advice and he sent me a very encouraging letter in reply, advising me to take his ' Favorite Prescription ' and ' Golden Medical Dis covery ' and ' Pleasant Pellets.' I got two bottles and used these and felt much better. I seyit and got si* bottles more. I can now work all day and not feel tired at night. I can sleep all night and can eat anything I want at any time. I can walk and go anywhere I please. I . OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN. Room 9 and 10 Stein Building.

I could have saved what I paid to humbugs. My friends say that I do not look like the same woman. When I commenced your medicine 1 only weighed one hundred pounds. Now I weigh one hundred and forty. I thank you A thousand times for your good medicine and your kind ad vice. I used four bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery ' four of ' Favorite Prescription' and two vials of your ' Pleasant Pellets.' " WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE between experiment and experience in treating womanly diseases ? The differ ence between success and failure. The difference between health and sickness, happiness and misery. The reason that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures so many women is that it is a medicinv which is the product of years of experi- ence in the treatment and cure of womanly diseases. It is a medi cine made to do certain things and it does what it is made to do. Every woman understands the fine points of this differ ence between experiment and experience. When the housewife engages a cook she demands experi ence. She does not want a cook who is experi menting with unfamiliar recipes. The inexperi enced man might say— Why, there's the cook book. It tells how to make anything. All you've got to do is to measure and mix as it instructs and you can't come out wrong. Can't you? The wife knows very much better than x that. Given the best recipe in the world it takes experience to make a success of it. The dif ference between the suc cess of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription and the failure of other medicines is the difference of ex perience. It is no experiment to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the cure of womanly ills. Experience—the experience of hundreds of thousands of women proclaims that it makes weak women strong and sick women well. Thousands of grateful letters have been written to Dr. Pierce. They covw cures of every form of womanly disease which is medically curable. They show that " Favorite Prescription " is a perfect regulator, that it dries enfeebling drains;. that it heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. They prove "Favorite Prescription" is the best pre parative for maternity; that it keeps the mother strong and healthy and makes the baby's advent practically painless. Sick and ailing women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is privately read, pri vately answered ana womanly confi dences are guarded by the same strict professional privacy which protects the womanly confidences made in a personal consultation with Dr. Pierce. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. As chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Pierce (assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians), has in a little more than thirty years, treated and cured hundreds of thousands of weak and sick women. CAN YOU AFFORD to invest twenty-one cents in stamps for expense of mailing one of the greatest medical works of the age ? Can you afford not to invest twenty-one cents for a book which teaches how to preserve health and prolong life? This great work, Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Med ical Adviser, contains 1008 large pages and over 700 illustrations. It is sent free, in paper-covers, on receipt of 21 one cent stamps to pay expense of mailing only. For cloth-binding send 31 stamps. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y» JB. BREDIN, .
