The bill provides lor the appointment by the governor, with the approval of the senate, of a commission of three com petent citizens, to acquire the property lor tlio state. The commission will bq vested with the full power of the statii to take land by condemnation wher<| Jt cannot be purchased amicably. ( The fact, that the naming of the com mission is left entirely with the govi ernor is a guarantee that the enter prise will be carried out with the; same business-like care and capacity that has marked other features of th< Stuart administration. As in the casd of other committees appointed by him Governor Stuart will keep in persona touch with the work of this body.

Under these circumstances lore will be no occasion for hiring igh-priced engineers and landscape ardeners. Xhe extension will carry the pari* ' oni its present eastern limit 1000 feet i the main line tracks of the Penn 'lvania railroad. This will open up a keeping view of the most imposing inte capitol in the country to hun •ods of thousands of persons who an lally pass this point along the great 'enue of transcontinental travel. . lese include people not on\y from all er the United States and the world, | t. also the bulk of the inhabitants of | nnsylvania, who are especially in rested in the state capitol, and who 1 n now see it only by stopping off > tween trains at Harrisburg.

As the members of the legislature ive studied this and other phases of ' e proposition they have discerned ; at this is not only a good business . ove, but is a matter of interest to I e people of the whole state. And ; nee the plan has been worked out i ith so many safeguards against ex avagance and with an economy of ipenditure which clears the way nancially, the last vestige of opposi on has faded away and there Is prac cally unanimous approval of the roject. On Thursday a vast concourse of merican citizens will be in Wash-' igton to witness the ceremonies at -ndant upon the inauguration of le new president. Thousands of lose who desire to tell their great rand children that they were at le national capital when Taft was lducted into office are now enjoying he side shows and being taken in by lie hotel, restaurant and boarding ones keepers, Pennsylvania ave •v! resembles the principal street of county seat town duriug court keek, and the pavements and side walks echo with tno sounds of veary feet as the crowds pass from >ne point of interest to another. •«u sii_— HvtL /lutrii't of Col imbia regard an inauguration as heir harvest time. The stranger vithin the gates of the capital city san easy mark for the miners and lappers of Washington. All is grist vhich comes to their mill. Ordi laiily the owners of places of re reshnientsand amusement in Wash ngton have only members of con- j jress and office hunters as patrons,j iiul there are not what are termed I xmanza producers, but when an in-! uiguration occurs then is the real i larvest time of the Washingtonian; I hen it is that belays the stepping i Htones which lead to a life conipe- \ tence. Prices of tilings inauguration visit-1 ors want do not rise, they simply 1 soar. A ham sandwich which at nther times is five cents in a Wash-j ington restaurant is worth its weight j in gold to the hungry and helpless j stranger. A pie whicn can general i»e bought for 10 cents becomes as 1 valuab'e to the restauranteur on in-1 auguration day as a bunch of stock | in the Pennsylvania railroad. All I other prices g<» up until even the I most skilled aviator is made to get; a glimpse of them. Some of the | best families in the national capital! got their first start on the road to the millionaire club through dispos ing of eatables and other things to the people who make a pilgrim-1 age to Washington to see the pres ident take the oath <>f office. Death of Charles Lashbrooks. j Charles L. Lashbrook of 725 j North Jay street, Home N. Y. He I had been ailing for about two weeks , with what was supposed to be rheu- I matism but was able to continue at i his work as foreman of the printing J office of the school for the deaf where I the Deaf Mute Register is printed, I until Saturday, and that night he | took to his bed, congestion of the lof the heart and luugs developing, i which were the causes of death. Mr. 1 La9hbrook was born in Macomber I St. Lawrence county, March 19th. j 1864. A severe attack of scarlet i fever at the age of (j years, left him I deaf and dumb, lie learned the ! printers trade and in tit at trade he was expert. lie was at one time employed at this place on the Sul iivan Republican by Mr. Cheney, and was a classmate and close friend of J.P. Kennedy of Di shore. For three years hew is foreman of : the Malone Advocate, a paper pub ' lished in the interest of the School j for Ihe Deaf at that place.

President elect Taft baa selected for his administration a Cabinet of . unusual quality and exceptional , .strength. Great politicians and lead | era of factions have be n assembled lin previous Cabinets. The earlier •j Presidents down to and including • i Lincoln aimed to si ' ire in their councils the maxima amount of political strength within their party, i Mr. Taft has not considered that. ; Lie does not feel the need of I strengthening bimseii politically. | lie looked for efficiency and ability | for his Cabinet and he lound it. A • profound lawyer himself, he has re , j spect for lawyers of tbei ight caliber 'and quality He recognizes them l at sight and lie has summoned for his Ministers the strongest aggre gation ot lawyers who ever sat around a president's council table, i' Senator ivuox, whom u»« Presi • dent has selected as bis right hand man, is one of the great lawyers of his geueration. His high reputatton }at the bar won him the Attorney • Generalship. His successful and ! orilliaut career in that office gave I him a new distinction, lo the Sen j ate he has shown a high order of i intellect and has treated every ques | lion that he discussed in the light ot i pure reason and with the force of I irresistable logic. He alone would make any Cabi net a strong one, but the new I'resi- Ulent is not content with a single great lawyer in his Cabinet. He i has associated with Mr. Knox four ! other lawyers of the first rank in their profession. No stronger ag- I ','regation of lawyers than Knox, | VVickersham, Dickinson, Nagel and | Uallinger can be found assoclateu on ' the bench or at the bar in any part lof this country. j A dog belonging to Seymor Bel lows. who lives on a fai in near East !

Senator Sproul is bent in earring out the suggestion of those who are waging war on tuberculosis that there shall be no spitting in public places, lie introduced a bill, mak ing penal offense punishable with a line of from $1 to for any one to spit in a public hall, street car, steam car, railroad station or trolley station. In default of payment the offender is sent to jail from one to five days. Four years ago a similar bill pre pared by senator Sproul was passed, but Governor Pennvpacker vetoed it on the ground that there are too many penal laws. There are city ordinances covering tiie offense, but the Sproul act is a general law anu covers the rural districts. New Tarif Schedule For Lumber Washington, Feb. 1. The Ways and Means committee has arrived at a final decision relative to the lum ber schedule. The duty in the new bill will be *<l per 1000 feet on rough lumber, while the duty on manufac tured lumber will remain as in the present law. There was a very strong feeling in the committee in favor of admitt ing all rough lumber free of duty but upon the argument of Gilford Pinchot, Chief Forester of the United States. The fit duty was put on. this is for the purpose of keeping out the rough, cheap grades of lum ber. that come in from Canada and Mexico, and, the opinion of Mr. I'inehot, it will stimulate the American operator to lumber moro thoroughly.
