Bitter, who was a sup erintendent of lumber operations in Virginia fir the past six years, died at the home of his parents at Muncy, on July 2:1, after a month's illness of typhoid fever. lie was aged 21 years. Ten years ago a farmer put his in itials on a dollar and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him tor produce, and three times he heard of it in the pocket of his neigh bors. The last time he got it, four years ago, he sent it to a mail order house, lie has not seen that dollar since nor ever will. That dollar will never pay any more school or 1 road tax for him. The Lehigh Coal and navigation company have issued orders to their outside foremen to make a canvas of their employes under the age of 21 years with the idea of ascertaining how many of them can read or write. All those who are uneducated to this point to be discharged. The new law recently passed fixed the age for such at sixteen years, but this company intends togo a few years better.

The Chinese Free Press is a dai ly newspaper printed in the Chi- i nese language at San Francisco. The heading and the important an ; nounceineiit are i pin ted on the la>t so that ihela.-t is literally the j first page. The paper declares edi torially that if a genuine reform of the met hod-of treating the Chi nese in this country is not prompt ly established the sutiering business men in China will I** justified in ; ceasing to regard the merchant* of the offending nation a» worth> | their confidence and trade Book agents in New York liave I found a lot of people willing to pa}' SI,OOO to gee into print. There are a lot of them in Washington who would pay more than that to keep out. I. is said that many charges of graft in the government printing ol.lw will grow out of the investi i into the monotype contract, j Oiii! of the matters to be inquired j into is the cost of machinery and supplies, which is said to be excess ive. There will also be an exami nation into the public printer's pay rolls. Instances are recounted with cir cumstantial detail of men serving on two or three payrolls and draw ing a salary from each. The electrical supplies for the es tablishment are alleged to afford a fruitful Held for inquiry. Certain machinery was recently installed at a cost of about 875,000. Ex perts visited the office, inspected this machinery and said it was i worth about half the sum. Bigler Johnson was hanged at Towanda Tuesday for the murder of his wife, Margaret Johnson, aged 40 years, and her neice. Anna Ben jamin, aged 10 years, committed Sept. IN, 1904, at Macedonia, three miles from Towanda. Charlie Johnson has been convicted o f mur der in the first degree for the same crime. On September 22, 1904, Bigler was arrested charged with the crime, but he denied his guilt. Later when quuestioned, he claimed that his mother Sophia Merritt, and his brother Charlie had planned and committed the murder in order to get his wife from whom I he was separated, out of the way i so that he would not ha veto pay I SO ber month alimony. Bigler has confessed to his spirit-1 ual advisor and to the officers of the j commonwealth again. This time he denies the story that he first told i Rev. E. W. Dewitt of Athens to the j effect that he committed the das | tardly crime alone and unassisted, | and said that the story that he told the police is correct; that he was to pay his mother and brother Charley to do the killing $3 each and that they afterwards told him how Char ley had gone in and struck Mag, Then the little girl, Annie Bcnjam-J in, had ran out of the house and ; Charley went after her, striking her with a club and then bearing I her body back to the heuse, placing it on the bed with Mag. Bigler said that his mother and Charley ( told him that they then poured oil on the bodies and on the bedbing] and carpet, then set tire to the oil and came out of the house, locking the doors. Then they made for home and Charley went onto the i place where he worked.

Thescientitlc American says if you are afraid of lightening, here is a safe guard to remember: Simply put on your gum shoes or rubbers and then stand up so your clothes won't touch anything. No difference if you are indoors (ait of doors you are perfectly safe, for rub ber is a non conductor, and you are perfectly insulated. This is worth remembering. liI'CKN F.LL INI VKKSITY.

Owinj to the absence of the Dis trict Chairman who left shortly after the convention and the report being forwarded to him, it appears at this late date. The topics assigned were well treated and with only three or four exceptions by the parties to whom they were originally given. Among the most noteworthy features were the excellent talks and essays given iby local and unprofessional talent. ] With due respect lo our clergy and ! other professional friends and tho.-e I accustomed to leadership, the writer wishes to speak a word in advocacy of the development of the talents po sessed by our boys and girls, and young men and .young women and also of our older men and women. The District Sunday School conven tion in common with other similar gatherings should be a means of de veloping talents which are too often "hidden in a napkin" or buried out of sight of men. At this late date the writer will content himself with giving only the outline of the subjects discussed as written in the convention pro gram. ProguaM I Song services. Devotional exerei i si's, 11.
