THE lOTLEI CITIZEN. WILLIAM C. NEC LEV. Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY it, 1000. |JO per year la Adva ace. Otherwise SI JO POLITICAL. On Tuesday Gov. Pennypacker issued a proclamation, amending his former one for an extra sessiop of the Legisla ture, beginning next Monday; add ing three new subjects and modifying the first cf the original call, for the con sideration of the Legislature as fol lows: % "First, to revise the laws relative to primary elections in snch way as to pro vide for the holding of primary elec tions of all political parties within the Commonwealth on the same day, at the same time, under the supervision of properly constituted officers, and to make such changes in, or additions to, these laws may seem advisable. "Second, to establish a civil service system by means of which the routine offices and employments of the Com monwealth may be filled by appoint ments made after ascertainment of qualifications and fitness and that the iocmnbents of such offices may retain them daring during good behavior. "Third, to designate the uses to which moneys may be applied by candidates, political managers and committees in political campaign.-!, both for nomina tions and elections, and to require the managing committees and managers of all political parties to file with some designated official at the close of each campaign a detailed statement in writ ing, accompanied by affidavit of the amount collected and the purposes for which they were expended. "Fourth, to enable cites that are now or may hereafter be contiguous or in close proximity, including any interven ing land, to be united in one municipal ity in order that the people may avoid the unnecessary burdens of maintaining separate municipal governments. " This fourth subject is a modification of the first subject in the original call, and is added in order that legislation may be enacted under either of them,as may be deemed wise. This proclamation by the Governor followed a visit to him by D. T. Wat son of Pittsburg who made clear the de lects of the original call so far as the proposed Greater Pittsburg law is con cerned; and the other subjects have de manded legislation for years, but have always been opposed by the Philadel phia gang, as have also personal regis tration and a fair ballot. This call will probably prolong the extra session, and will undoubtedly do so unless all the bills are carefully pre pared and introduced at the beginning of the session. The next few years will see the tre mendous contest between electricity and steam, the trolley and the locomo tive, fonght to a finish in this country. In this State the town and city cobucils are having it now, and Harris burg will come next Congressmen Sibley and Dresser, two of onr million are representatives in Congress from districts to the north of ns are not candidates for re election. State Chairman Andrews has issned a formal call for a State Convention to be held at Harrisbnrg, Wednesday, Jnne Gth next; and at which persons are to be pnt in nomination for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Auditor General and Secretary of Internal Affairs, and "Booms" for all these offices are now in order. A dispatch from Kittanning, last week, said: Complaint has been made to the authorities at Washington" that D. B. Heiner, internal revenne collector for the Pittsburg district, has recently been making himself conspicuously active in the politics of Armstrong county. The charge is made that Mr. Heiner has been working to elect dele gates to the next State Republican con vention friendly to George F. Huff for Governor. Many Armstrong Republi cans are opposed to Huff. Dlcpilliig Russia. The last stronghold of the revolution ists In the suburbs of Moscow was captured by the troops, the other day, and the revolution seems to be at an end, though violence yet prevails in several sections of the country. Count Wittfl insists that he intends giving Russia a constitutional govern ment and the suppressing of the re bellion will give him a chance to do so. The German Government has taken measures to refuse admittance at the frontier to all Jewish refugees who cannot show tickets for the ship at Hamburg. This is the reason why the poorest are obliged to go to Vienna At the meeting held in this country lately some of the fugitives told their ex perience, scarcely able to *p«ak for sobs and tears. A man named Dauzis said: "We are told we should have re mained in Russia to defend our families There was nothing left of them to de fend." Men and women cried aloud in all parts of the room, remembering whnt they had seen. Konu* Reported Doulx. A synopsis of the street-car reports to date would read about as follows — The Butler Passenger Railway Co. has sold its property and franc-hides to the Pittsburg «*: Bntler Trolley Co. for $400,000; also for £IOO,OOO and stock in the Pittsburg Co., which has purchased the Col. Thompson property on N. Main St. for a Grand Union Street Car Station, also the Berg property at corner of Main & Cunningham Sts The Pittsburg Co., the same one that lately purchased the Beaver and Shen ango Valley trolleys and New Cestle Yunngatown and other street railways, parks, etc., is doing it all and will cover Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio with a complete system of trolley lines it owns the new Pittsburg & Bntler trolley, will own the proposed line from Pittsburg to Butler via Sewickly and Harmony; is buying prpperty in Bntler and everywhere und will own the earth if it has the monev to pay for it.

Jefferson St. with the alleged object of getting its station up towards the T T . P church, and also contemplates running over, throngh, aronnd or about the town to New Castle. Of this multitude of re ports you can take jrour choice. | WASHINGTON" XOTFS Acting on a printed charge that mem- , bers of the House were sending cows, ; libraries and all manner of articles free through the mails, the House, on Thnrs day last, instructed its Postoffice com mittee to make an investigation as to whether members are abusi ag the frank ing privilege.

She lluil Florence In Mourning: For the Victims ol Her Lovelinea* and Heartle»»ue»»—Her Power Over Men anil Her Awlul Fate. While personal beauty is naturally the most coveted possession of woman, It is a gift which may be almost as full of danger to herself as to those who fall victims t'j it. From the days of Helen of Troy and of Cleopatra to our own time it has brought perhaps more dis aster to the world than delight, or, ut least, happiness; but to one, at least, it brought a life of such tragedy and suf fering as has rarely fallfii to the lot ot any woman. It was at Florence that Rosaura Montalboni, perhaps the most beautiful woman the world has ever seen, lived in the days of the Medicis. No man has ever ventured with pen or brush to portray her beauty, and it is only from its effects that one can judge of i's surpassing brilliance. From early girlhood this beauty gave her a power and an empire over hearta such as no queen of Europe could wield. Men Hocked from all parts ot Europe content to catch a glimpse of her during her rare walks abroad. If she appeared in the streets of Florence It was a signal for hundreds of wor shipers to flock around her for the mere delight of gazing on her or by some happy chance touching the hem of her gown. When she went to church thousands flocked to sec bcr, and it was in vain that the priests tried to conduct the services. The door of her residence was besieged night and day with lov ers of every class, from princes of the greatest reigning families of Europe to peasants and fishermen. Every day brought her rich stores of presents, some of which might well have bought a king's ransom, while others were the tribute of lowly admirers, who offered tbom as humbly and reverently as if they were laying them on an altar. None would receive payment from her, from the wealthy merchants who laid at her feet their treasures of rich dresses and jewels to the humblest tradesman or domestic who ministered to her, ai)d, crowning triumph of all, women were as eager as men to ren der homage to her beauty and vied with each other In their offerings and their worship. It was inevitable that many should suffer for beauty such as this, and es pecially as Uosaura was as heartless as she was fair. Scarcely a day pass ed when she was not the object of some fatal duel or when some lover did not destroy himself In despair of winning her. It Is said that there was scarcely a family of any position In Florence or for many leagues around it that had not to mourn a sou or near relative, and many complaints were made to the authorities by indignant parents. On several occasions she was brought lwfore the judges, who were as power less against her charms as the most lovo stricken youth In Florence. They came to condemn and remained to worship her fatal beauty, for as she appeared l>efore them in all the glory of her beauty even the eyes of stern judges were dazzled, and they were ready to go into the dock for fier sake. It was about this time that great dis tress fell on Florence. The city was in the grip of famine, and hundreds were dying for want of bread, but while thousands were starving Uosaura would give up nothing of her luxuries. It came to the ears of the poor that while they were dying for a crust of bread this spoiled child of fortune was drinking the costliest wines, eating the rarest delicacies, enjoying her baths of perfumed milk and squandering every day more than would keep a hundred families in comfort. Housed to a terrible anger, they be sieged her palace and forced their way Into it, with the object of killing a wo man HO heartless. Without a tremor Uosaura went from her room to meet her would be murderers, and the mere sight of her radiant and stately beauty so sulslued the ringleaders that they fell on their knees and kissed the ground at her feet. I'ut Nemesis was coming nearer every day. Once, when a court official had committed suicide for her sake, she was condemned to be branded and sent Into exile, but no executioner could be found to do the work, and one of them sacrificed his life rather than touch her shoulder with the j-edhot iron. When she was summoned before the reigning duke, he, too, was vanquished, and, in stead of punishing her, lie sent her away with presents and a benediction. It was his successor, Ferdinand de Medici, who broke the spell of this fatal beauty. Realizing that she was the greatest enemy to peace within his kingdom, he Issued orders for her ar rest. She was brought for the last time before judges, who were proof even against beauty such as hers, and was sentuncfd to lifelong Imprisonment and to wear a mask, fashioned like a skull, to conceal the face which had wrought so much havoc. For forty years Uosaura suffered this horrible punishment, her very jailors shrinking from the grinning skull i which always greeted them. When uf last she was liberated and the skull mask was removed, the wrinkled, shrunken face that was disclosed to •lew was almost as hideous as the mask that »<ul so long hidden it. AIkFALFA ON EASTERN LAND. Experience of Gforgr M. t larLe of Grass Gronlne Fame. Scientific men tell us tlmt to prepare and sow a field of alfalfa twenty quarts of seed should be sowed per acre in the spring, and when the plants are about six Inches high they should be dipped. This clipping is necessary to check the growth anil strengthen the plant. Clipping makes the plant branch out with new vigor. This treatment should be repeated several times during the summer. This clip- . ping of the field the first season is not expected to lie saved for hay. Clarke's Way. 1 tpok three and a half acres of high, dry and the poorest section of my field *x> feet above the -water line and in tensely cultivated it with a cutaway harrow to the depth of six inches or more. Then I sowed twenty-five pounds of alfalfa seed to the acre on June 3; also sowed 800 pounds of high grade fertilizer per acre. On July 24. fifty-two days after seeding. I cut and cured 10,700 pounds of well dried bay and on Sept. 13 cut and cured 10,850 pounds more, almost eleven tons In 103 days from time of seeding. I can safely call it three tons to the acre of well dried alfalfa hay after all extra weights were deducted. While I would not advise others to go into the culti vation of alfalfa very extensively at first, yet I think that there are many high and dry lieids in Xew England that would be utilized to good advan tage in its production. Intense Cultivation. The first thing to be done is to in tensely cultivate the field and kill out all kinds of vegetation, then sow the seed, giving the alfalfa the first, best and only chance. With my present knowledge I should advise a dressing of thoroughly decomposed vegetable manure, adding a few hundred pounds to the acre of air slacked lime except In sections where there was plenty of lime in the soil. I had no lime, but a portion of the field had a little thor oughly decomposed yard manure, and that section was best. I think the suc cess I liave obtained was due, first, to intense cultivation and, second, to the nitrates which were in the fertilizer sown, but It would be well to remem ber that high grade fertilizer contain ing nitrates cannot be used after the plants come up.—George M. Clarke, Connecticut, in American Agriculturist. LEVELING DEVICE. A Simple Homemade Level Isefnl In I.nying: Out Ditohe*. Take three pieces of thin board, say two or three inches wide, two of them about seven feet long, one for crossbar A CHEAP LEVEL, of triangle near five feet long, nailed across two and a half feet from base parallel to the points of the triangle. 11 ting a plummet an.l line from the t•• »i> to just below the crossbar. Get the center on the crossbar by reversing the triangle and make a groove or fine cut In the crossbar for the center, so there will be no mistake, liaise one end of the triangle one-half an inch, make a fine mark where the plumb line then hangs. That will show a grade of one inch to the rod where the points of the triangle are eight feet three inches apart. For a grade of two inches to rod raise one end an inch. A spirit level glass imbedded In the top edge of the crossbar at the center will be handy to have when the wind blows too much for the plumb line, says Ohio Farmer in describing this level. To ascertain the fall <>r average grade of a drain place the triangle on the surface of the ground at outlet of proposed drain, sight lengthwise on the crossbar to an object two and a half feet from the ground at the upper end of tile drain. Where the plum!) 1: ie hangs on the crossbar will show the grade regardless of distance. PcacVt Tree* Full Ins?. Hard winters, scale and rot prove the undoing of many Jersey peach orchards. We can reasonably control yellows, leaf curl and borers, the for mer by selection of stocks and the oth ers by direct curative methods, but cold, scale and the ever present rot are far more difficult to combat. The last two winters have severely injured many established orchards, says W. V. F. in Rural Xew Yorker. W HERE AND THERE Select seed corn and Imve it thor oughly dried by artificial heat before freezing weather. Perfection is considered a very prom lsing addition to the list of currants. It Is claimed for the milk cows of Holland that they average I/J27 quarts of milk per head per year ou a con servative estimate.
