Harrisburg, Pa., % Feb. 20.—With th<
adoption ot the Fox bill, which is now
well on its way through the leglsla
ture, the extension of Capitol parli
eon be started without delay. 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. Al'
the acts of the commission will b>. l
subject to the governor's approval. 1

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. Passen- .

tending for a distance of five city

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

ipenditure which clears the way
nancially, the last vestige of opposi

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.

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. On Aug
ust Ist. 1891. he married Miss Anna
!M. Seifert, who with his aged
mother at Cape Mav Vincent sur
vives. Also three broihers.
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.

. ihe percentage was 41, and it is bt
j lieved to have beeen as large last

Amount the numerous bills in*

cense, i* not prohibit distill
ies and iv , K>s from mamifaetu:
ing liquor find beer if located in Uv

age of the time of returning tl ■
team; extending the right of emi
uent domain to sewerage companit •
to enable them to condemn or pur
chase land to disposal plant.-'.
Amendment to the constitution
abolishing spring elections and hav
ing township and borough elections
in November every second year, but
not iu the same year that township
and borough elections are, held. All
officers for a term of one year now
will then be for two years and thoi-u
for three years will be held for four
years. Some of the state office
terms will also be lengthened. The
State Treasurer now holds office for
two years but would then hold it tor
four. Bill for selling rotten eggs,
making it a misdemeanor, punish
able by heavy fine, except where
they are sold and had been
decayed unknown to the seller. In
quiring adulterated paint to be
properly labeled under a penalty.
Cutting the milage of Sherifi's in
counties of 130,000 population from
20 cents a mile to 12 and allowing
only one milage for each trip no
matter how many papers are served.
This is the bill advocated by the
auditors and commissioners of Erie
county. Increasing the marriage
license fees from 50 cents to $2.00.
('I his bill has been killed.) A num
ber of pension bills have been pre
sented and if any one them is passed
it is likely one that fixes the pen
sion to s(i.oo per month to all sur
viving soldiers resident in our state,
irrespective of the time of service.
Ibis will not include emergency
men.
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.
