The Laporte Atheletie Association having fixed up a temporary ground, arranged for three games—Saturday August i! 7111 with Nordmont, Thurs day September Ist with Father Mathew Club of Dushore, Pa., and Saturday September !lrd with Forks ville. To help pay the expenses of visiting teams a charge often cents admission is made, children being admitted free. The game with Nordmont was well attended, about one hundred persons paying and another one hun dred of "kids" and people who veiwed the game from afar. La porte won by a score of 2f> to 10 and the small boy was very happy. Funston pitched a line game for six innings, the score at that time being 2:1 to •> in favor of Laporte, and Nordmont having eleven strike outs and two hits, but in the remaining innings Nordmont found the ball. Smith hit fora home run and a three bagger, and Wieland, Botsford and Fish helped in the good work which resulted in ten runs. The real feat ure of the game was the work of Marcus in left field; his double play on a catch in deep left, where he caught the runner ten feet off of first base was good enough for any team. In the batting for the home team Swank lead with homer and three singles, with Phillips, Marcus and Funston close behind, in fact all the boys hit well. It should not be for gotten that "Buck" Carpenter was in the game from start to finish both with bat and mit. The score by in nings follows: 1:1 :l I ft 0 6 8 » Laporte 0 0 7 3 :i 10 02x 25 Nordmont « 0 0 0 0 0 3 4 a 10 The Constitution of Pennsylvania, in enumerating the qualifications of a president judge of the common pleas court, says that he "shall he learned in the law" That means that he shall be jurisprudent, or skilled in the law. Many people have a Vague idea of the duties and powers of a judge, some even assum ing that he can make law, if he chooses to do so. instances are not unkown where a litigant gets highly indignant at a judge for rendering decision against him, when the law or the facts would not permit any thing else. It is the duty of a judge to apply the law as he finds it* This involves the power tojudge of it's applicability. It often happens that no specific law covers a case and then precedents are fallen back upon. If no precedent appears, then he must establish one. The law, the facts, the precedents, and the equities are always to be borne in mind when charging a jury or de ciding a case. It is evident then that familiarity with the law and experience in judicial matters are a prime necessity on the bench. These qualifications are possessed by Hon. E. M. Dunham, who is cani date for re-election in this district. He was well versed in the law when he took his seat, but the ten years of experience has fitted him more completely for further work anil will lie valuable to him and the district if he is elected for the en sueing term. His judicial deliver ances have many times been compli mented for their candor, sense and fairness, and he stands well in out side courts where he has often been called to preside, as well as within his own district. One good effect of the much-talked of American high tariff' is that it causes English manufacturers to es tablish large plants in this country, jif they wish to hold the American 'market. Titus, Salt & Co. have builta large silk plush and velvit mill in Bridgeport, Conn., and "now Joseph Benn & Sons of Bradford, j England, are erecting an immense new mill at (ireystone, North Prov idence, It. I.for the manufacture of tine mohair goods. Nearly a thous and hands will be employ*.l. The assurance with which great enterprises are undertaken, invol ingthe expenditure of many mill-; ions of dollars, is evidence that con fidence prevails among all classes of men as regards the future, and that j the country has settled down to the j conclusion that there will be neither a change of government or of poli-j I ties. A million dollar power plant j on the banks of the Susquehanna: river at York Haven, Pa., has just been started. It will furnish power and light for a number of near-by cities. There has beeu a great inei ger of traction lines in Ohio, and a mortgage authorized of #750,00<). A half million acres of land, now desert, are to be reclaimed in the Imperial Valley, in California. A gigantic station on the Connecticut river, at Greenfield, will feed the wires with power which will run ! all over two states. Many other similar enterprises might lie noticed, all going to show that capital consid ers the future assured. The supper given by the LailieV Aid held at the home of Mrs. J. V. Finkle was a great success, and the parties connected with it deserve great praise. Attend the Sullivan County Fair and Meet Your Friends.

Life Insurance A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A POLICY WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE BECAUSE —Incontestable from the date of issue. Because—absolutely without restrictions. Because—non forfeitable from date of issue. Be cause—cash loans are provided after second year, on demand at 5 per cent interest without fee or other charge. Because—if death does not occur an accumulative policy is a highly profi table investment for the policy-holder who lives. Policies now maturing to living policy-holders prove this. In fact NEW YORK LIFE policies do not leak.
