Pres ident Roosevelt lias ano u need Mr. Hay the equal of the greatest Secre tary of State the American people ever had- and those who have ob served Ids long career will heartily endorse the President's eulogy. Mr. I-Iny's death came tddfeygely because of his fidelity to du||pFujl a year ago he realized thuffinly completeres could save his heafiritoid yet it was not until he absolutely , un able to attend to the arduous duties »>f his high office that he consented togo abroad in search of health. Rarely if ever has a man stepped into a cabinet office amid the plaud its of the American people, as has done Elihu [toot. No man and no newspaper Has had the temerity to criticise the President's selection of a successor to John Ilay, late Secre tary of State. Some violently parti san papers have, it is true, criticised Mr. Root because of the fact that he has ac*«d as attorney for certain trusts and corporations but even those who have pointed with disap proval at this phase of the career of the new Secretary of State have felt constrained to acknowledge the pre eminent fitness of Elihu Root, the man for the responsible duties which will fall to him when the mantle of John Ilay rests upon his shoulders. It has been said that no man leaves public office with his work complet ed, and the- larger tin; man the truer the saying. There are many things which John Ilay left unfinished, left so because the fullness of time had not ripened them and because he was far too wife a diplomat ever to act preeipiately. Rut unfinished they are and to Elihu Root will fall the completion of many of them, and the guidance of others which not even this generation will live to R. V. Rogers, Esq. of Renovo, formerly of Hughesville and R. \V. A. Jameson, of Lock Haven, while surveying on the mountains the other day had an experience they will remember for some time, says the Hughesville Mail. The gentlemen were interested in some timber land, and their work had proceeded without unusal inci dent until about:! o'clock in the ; afternoon. Rogers having become thirsty started in search of water. He was traveling several yards ahead of Jameson when suddenly the latter heard an awful scream and looking ahead saw a large black snake roiling ; about the body of his pataly/.ed com panion. Jameson carried a hatchet or small hand ax with which to cut away the underbrush and with this raised in the air hastened to the assistance ol Rogers. (Jetting within striking distance of his suakeship with a well directed blow Jameson severed the head of the reptile and saved the life of the thoroughly frightened deciple of Rlackstonc. The snake was over live feet in length and was as thick an one's arm. Rogers says it was > ing in bis path-way and he stepped | .ipon it and felt it twining its slimy | body about him. The llellefoiite vvatclimall says: Port .Matilda can boast of |>crhap> | the most remarkable man in the county in the person of William l.e- I wis, who next January will be nine ty-one years old. Not withstanding i his age he shoulders bis ax and with dinner bucket iu liano walks two mile-, to the mountain, cuts and |»eel» one cord of paper wood everyday, for which he reet'ives ♦:! a oiril and walk* two miles hack to hi* home in tin* evening.

I :j 75C PER YEAR The Fourth of July at Laporte proved a success all around. The weather while threatening in t|w> morning proved to be fair all. day« The crowd that gathered numbeteff at least 1000 and was from aU points' on the \V. A N. 13. railroad and sur rounding country. It was !i' good natured, quiet and. jieitcable crowd and not a single angry word was heard during flie day, alth<u;h it was fully celebrated. In4he morn ing 800 people saw Huglioville lower the colors of the Laporte Ath letic Association at Base Hall. The afternoon was tilled witn dancing, games and various sports and amus nients, and in the evening a credit able display of tire works from Mt. NVahallac beautified and colored the placid waters of Lake Mokoma. The band engaged cancelled their engagement two days before the Fourth and there was no time to se cure another. Vocal tnusic and the orchestra supplied this want and a large number of people enjoyed the music and the short but forcible and eloquent address of F.J. Mul len Ksq., in the Grove at Mokoma. From the various stands and amuse ments the Athletic Association reap ed a harvest of over s.">oo, and are in sufficient funds to complete the grounds at Athletic Park. On the whole it was a good day and a good time was enjoyed by all present. By the premature explosion of a toy cannon at Jamison City, on July •">, Frnest Van Sickle, a sixteen year old boy bad his left eye blown out, his face badly burned and will prob ably lose the sight of the other eye. llis left ear is badly bruised and torn and bis neck is badly burned by the powder. The young man together with a number c,f other young men were engaged in celebrating (he Fourth on Monday when the accident oc cured. They had a cannon about two and a half feet in length and were amusing themselves by loading and tiring the piece, and had done so a number of times. They were preparing it for another tiring when it prematurely exploded. Van Sic kle was standing over the cannon which was inverted and was ram ming the load home. Common newspaper was used for wadding. All of the charge had been placed in the gun and Van Sickle had just started Jo ram home the last wad, when without any warning it ex ploded. lie received the full charge in his face and arm and with a cry of pain fell to the ground. His companions hastily summon ed a physician, who after an exami nation advised that the unfortunate victim should be taken immediately to the Willia rsport Hospital, in the hope * hat the sight of the one eye might be saved. The left eye was torn from his head and was cut al most in two by the force of the pow der. It is almost miracueous that the victim escaped even with his life. The cannon's mouth was within a dozen inches of bis face, and the discharge must have been a quar ter of a pound of powder which he reeeiveil full in tin- face at this short range. I'.
