Pennsylvania recently erected the linest state capitol to he fomul anywhere in the Union, at the rea sonable cost of $4,550,000. It is more elegant in design and finish than Massachusetts capitol in Bos ton, which cost nearly 87,000,000, or the New York capitol at Albany which cost $24,000,000. This beautiful building, in every way suitable for tlie purpose for which it was intended, and of which the people may be justly proud, was built entirely by funds already in the treasury, and no fresh taxes were levied for its construction. There was no fraud in the erec tion of this noble building itself. The contractors did honest work for the price agreed upon, and charged only a reasonable profit on their contract; lint, the men who supplied the furniture, fixtures and decorations for the interior, in league with the state officers and architect in charge of the building robbed the people to the amount of three or four millions ol dollars by enormous overcharges in payment for the articles which they sup plied. In some instances the charges were from ten to twenty times what the articles were worth. It is astonishing that men who were not-crazy should think they could steal such an immense sum and never lie detected. The guilty men have been convicted and se verely punished, three of them (as it were) by the Lord himself. It is said "The wages of sin is death." With the door of the state prison opening for them, with the delim itating and depressing effect o grief and remorse in contemplation of their crimes, and the ever pres ent thought day and night that in an evil hour they had yielded to temptation, disgraced themselves and their families, they sickened and died. Huston, the architect, who has been sentenced to states prison is trying to obtain a new trial. CASTELAK. SONESTOWN. Mrs. I'carle Beels and daughter of Williamsport, are visiting the former's sister.

Solicitor General Lloyd W. flowers, ■whom Preaiteat Taft had picked for a supremo court Justiceship, died in Bos ton of complications arising from an attack of bronchitis. Solicitor Qeneral Bowers had been 111 for about a month, but it was sup posed he had recovered. Mr. Bowers was appointed as solici tor general by President Taft, March 22, 1909. The appointment was one of the first official acts of Mr. Taft as president who had long held Mr. Bow ers in high regard. The first news of Mr. Bowers' illness became generally known through a telegram sent by Mrs. Bowers to Pres ident Taft last Tuesday while he was returning to Beverly from the west. So solicitous was Mr. Taft that as soon as he reached Boston he called at th* hotel and found the patient so much Improved that he was able to see him. The physician who has attended Mr. Bowers here said that the patient was chatting cheerfully with his wife and son when, suddenly, he stopped talk ing and a moment later was dead. The physiclau. Dr. Kredorick Cog geshall, sped by automobile to the ho tel on a telephone summons only to discover that Mr. Bowers had died In stantly of a blood clot in the heart. I)r. Coggeshall said that the original illness of Mr. Bowers, which took the form of a violent cold, was duo to overwork. M«at Packers Indicted. J. Ogden Armour, Louis F. Swift, Edward Morris and Edward Tllden, the big four in the Chicago beef trust, were by a federal grand Jury, charged with being in a combination In restraint of trade in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. In addition named in the true bills were Arthur Meeker, of Armour & Co.; Charles Swift and several other men, ten in all, of lesser night In the beef combination. The corporations named in the recent true bill which was found faulty by Judge Landls weren't named. The grand Jury had followed out the Instructions of Judge Landls and indicted the men Instead of the corporations. Under section 2 of the Sherman an ti-trust law those convicted under this Indictment may be sent to prison for one year, fined SSOOO, or both, In the discretion of the court. Trades Hi 6 Baby For Pig. A Russian woman living near Win nipeg, Man., gave birth to twins, but her husband was so displeaced over tho dual addition to his family t*iat he promptly traded one of the babies to aiiot her Russian for a pig. The case came to the attention of the authorities, and a constable forced the father to cancel the trade, which he had made over the bitter protests of the mother. It is probable that the entire fam ily will be deported. Government offi cials point to this case as showing a need of reform in the divorce laws. The woman will be deported because of an unpardonable act of her hus band, though public sentiment favors letting hor remain and shipping away the husband. Will Meet In Richmond Next Year.
