In 1887 a kindly butcher of Lucerne a riopteri a little girl named Anna, whose mother had died just after be ing deserted by her husband. She was a baby of six months at the time. He gave her his own name, and she received a good education. The butcher prospered and some few months ago bought a hotel in Appen zell. Anna now a handsome, in telligent girl, managed the establish ment for him. Last May Joseph Miller, who had made a large for tune in America, arrived at the hotel. A young local Doctor of good family and the elderly Joseph Miller became sujters for Anna's hand, and in July last the girl chose the latter. The marriage was fixed for the end of December, but the day before the wedding, Miller seeing his fi nance e wearing some jewelry which Heeni 'd familiar to him, questioned her about it. Next day he left for Berlin, and sent a letter explaining i that beyond rioubt she was his own child deserted HO magy years ago, j and advised her to marry the young doctor. He enclosed a check for #lO, 000 in the letter. Last week the girl was married to the doctor, but she has not, heard °f her father since bis flight. The Williamsport News says j ninny persons in this city and vi , cinity have already taken advantage of the offer of free treatment for ; tuberculosis at the dispensary es tablished in this city by the state board of health. On Wednesdays and Saturdays the dispensary es tablished in Williamsport by the state health department is visited by large numbers of people afflicted by tulierculosis, who receive such aid and advice as is provided at this es tablishment, and the benefit derived by these patients is certain to induce others to take advantage of the treat ment. The state is doing a good work in caring for tuberculosis sufferers. That tuberculosis in its early stages may be cured there is no longer a doubt. If the persons who nre afflicted with this disease will follow the instructions and advice given them at the dispensary they will he saved from one of the most terrible of deaths. JU should be remembered that treatment at this dispensary is free. All that is required of the patient is that he or she shall agree to live according to the rules laid down by the state board of health, which is not a harsh requirement, considering the result which follows the treatment. Governor Gooding of Idaho re ceived official notice from Judge Fre mont Wood, of the sentence of Harry Orchard, the self confessed murderer of ex-Governor Steuben berg, and recommended the re mission of the death penalty. The proceedure was required by law. The remission of the death sen tence was in conformity to common law, which implies a promise of merciful consideration to a defend, ant who testifies fully and fairly u gainst a co-defenduut. On these grounds "the of many murders" a caj»es the death penalty for his con fessed crimes. The splendid financial condition of Pennsylvania is evidenced by a report as to the operations of the State Treasury last week. Since the first of the present month the obli gations met and paid amount to con siderably over a million dollars, all of which was paid out svithout draw ing on a single depository. Consider ing the existing financial conditions this is announced as one of the best records yet made. On a single day last week the state paid out $405,000, without the least strain on its re sources. Kinaicially Pennsylvania i- one of tin 1 strongest states in the I'liion. and i- constantly growing stronger. The Athens Gazette notes that Ex- Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is pub lishing a scries of sketches of his past career, in the Saturday Evening Post. He says that after the sur render ot Richmond in 186.r>, a num ber of Republican Senators held a caucus, at which it was agreed that they \yould bring all their influence to bear to bring about a declaration of war by the United States against Great Britian, in retaliation for the aid that country had given tbeSouth ern cause, aud that an army of 200, 1)00 men was to be recruited, one half from the veterans of Lee's army ami one-half from the veterans of Grant's army, ami thai these 200,000 trained veterans were to be hurled againstjDanaria. The I'uited States ports were proof against invasion by any combination of the natives of the world, by reasons of the iron clails, of which this country possessed scores, and the foreign nations none, j The seasoned veterans of the four years' struggle would overrun ("ana- j da with scarcely any resistance, and the dominion of the United States was to be extended from the Rio Grand to the North Pole. The as sassination of Lincoln upset their plans, as they could not riepeuri on the co-operation of Johnson, who be came presirient on the rieath of Lin coln. After Grant became presirient the plan was revived, anrt was frus trated by Great Britian agreeing to pay an enormous indemnity for the damage wrought by rebel privateers I (Uteri out in her ports. Washington. March— (Special)— Pennsylvania is nolid for Knox. ' There has been no break in the lines and will be none. A complimentary reference to Secretary Taft at a Vale banquet in thifl city a few days ago, made by representative John I)al zell, of Pittsburg, was construed by some of the followers of Taft as a dash for the Taft bandwagon by the Knox supporters. It was heralded in some quarters as a desertion from the Knox camp. But the following day Mr. Dalzell repudiated this construction of his speech and made a statement that left no doubt as to where he stands. ITe said: "I did not use the language the newspapers have published. Themt most that can he said of any reference that I made to Secretary Taft as a presidential candidate was that if he should.happen to be nominated and elected by the people, it would be a source of pride to Yale i'niversify and Yale men. I expect togo as a delegate to the national convention in the interest of Senator Knox. Pennsylvania has 110 other choice than Senator Knox for the presidency. " The misconstruction thai was placed upon the speech of Mr. Dal /ell has aroused the ire of the Knox supporters and has made them more determined than ever to do every thing in their power to bring about the nomination of their candidate. Knox clubs are being formed and he work from now on will be push ed In earnest. This work will be along the lines that Senator Knox's friends have followed from the start, endeavoring to inform the people of his record and his views upon public •juestlons in order to show his fitness ; for the position. The Knox cam-1 i>aige has been one of education. It has not resorted to blurt and bluster and its appeal has been made to the intellect of the people. Optician* in this state have de- j oitlert to ask the legislature to pass a law prohibiting the sale of cheap and dangerous glasses to the people of Pennsylvania. The opticians say that "Kyes are more important than teeth", and as the dentists are pro tected from competition from fakers the optitions believe their profession should at*o be safeguarded from fak ers who sell glasses which injure the; eyesight of the people. And the legislature will bu protecting the people as well as the optitions by passing a law regulating the sale of ye glasses. In many cases persons who have be«*n suffering from defective eye sight have been persuaded to buy •lasses from dealers who have no in re knowledge of what the person ■cedeu to protect their eyes than an ice wagon driver has of how to paint ;i picture. The result is that the cheap inferior glasses have aggra vated the eye trouble in many instances'destroyed the eyesight. The faker who claims to know what is wrong with a person's eyes and how to correct the defect should be [ire vented from defrauding the public, and a la v which would drive these fakers from tha field of operations would be a blessing to the public. Washiogton, March 2;>.— United States Senator William James Bry an, of Florida—the youngest mem ber of the Senate—died at Provi dence hospital at 8:30 Sunday morn ing of typhoid fever. He has served only ~-i days. White Plains N. Y., —Because a jury in the supreme court recently brought in a sealed verdict for 52, 000 in favor of Patrick Moran, a four year-old boy, against the New York City Railway company for the loss 1 of his left foot, Justice Joseph Mors ' ehauser refused to receive the ver | diet and sent the jury back with this !admonition: "I don't think the a j mount is sufficient for the loss the | plaintiff sustained. It shocks the senslty of the court. There should I have been no compromise verdict. | If you found for the phiutiff at all i the amount is insufficient. If you j helieve there was contributory negli ; gence, then the verdict should bene ' fit the defendant." I The jury was out an hour and then returned a verdict for SB,OOO in favor of the boy. The piaintiffsued through Lawyer Thomas J. O'Neill for 175, 1000. 75C PLR YEAP HILLSGROVE ITEMS. John Hassen of La port e was a Hillsgrove caller on Thursday of last week.

The W. and X, B Rail road Co., had a large turn out Saturday at Ilughesville for the horse sale. They all had a good time but no horses came to Muncy Valley. Dennis Palmaticr has announced himself as a candidate for Ccounty Commissioner of Sullivan County P. M. Taylor had a very sick horse Saturday night but. it is better now. Richard I'earson Jlobson, late ad visor of the navy and now a congress man, declared emphatically that Japan has already taken the Ha waiian islands, there being on the islands at the present time, accord ing to this chaniphiii osi.nlutor, one hundred thousand Japanese, all trained soldiers. Hobsou also says that Japan intends to capture the Philippines in the same manner. The fact that Hobsiti has been placed on the naval committe of the house and that he has always been in favor of a bigger navy may be regarded as one of the reasons why he has sprung this terrible news upon the Amerieau people. It is evident that a mistake was made when the Amerkan fleet WHS not placed in charge of Admiral Evans. The warships would have been given to Hobson, who would have proceeded to Hawaii and chased those; Japanese off the islands, and then proceeded to Japan to teach that arrogant nation that it does not pay to trifle with a Hobson. Hobson should remember that a congressman is not expected to do much in order to earn his salary, and lie should be told that it is not necessary to get up a war with a foreign country in order to keep his name before an admir ing nation. Harvey J. Flick of Hugliesville, had his ear nearly bitten of by a horse which was stauding near him hitched to a wagon. A mo ment later the horse reared and fell dead. The man's ear had to sticlied on. Lycoming county has a good roads association which offers SI,OOO in nine prizes for supervisors who show the greatest road improve ment.
