Cost $5,000.
It cost a Nebraska saloon keep
er $5,000 to make a man a drunk
ard. That state ha3 a law mak
ing it a crime to make drunkards
A wife recently brought suit a
gainst a liquor dealer for having
made her husband incapable of
properly supporting his family,
on account of drink. The case was
carried through the court3 up to,
and including, the SupremeCourt
of the United States. The latter
decided that the State had per
feet right to place such a law on
its books, and dismissed the case.
The sot maker will now have to
pass over $5,000 to the wife. It
may not be generally known that
Pennsylvania has a similar law on
her statue books. The act of
April 12, 1875, makes the rum
seller who furnishes liquor to ha
bitual drunkards, liable to dam
ages and open to civil prosecu
tion in the courts of the Common
wealth. The Nebraska act reach
ed the Supreme court through
proceedings brought by Mrs. May
Bulger against Louis W. Prenica,
a saloonkeeper of Nebraska City.
Under the act, Nebraska courts
had awarded Mrs. Bulger $5,000
damages for her husband becom
ing a habitual drunkard. Pren
ica appealed, but the Supreme
court upheld the act.
It may be added just here,
that if the temperance people
would spend less time scolding
the lipuor sellers, and would go
into the courts and make use of
the laws that are already on' the
books, very much more would be
accomplished along the line of
controlling the evil.
Kum and The Navy.
A few weeks ago we told our
readers that Secretary of the
Navy Daniels had forbidden the
use of all intoxicating liquors on
United States vessels and about
the government - docks. Since
that time our attention has been
called to the fact that the aver
age age of the enlisted men now in
Mexican waters is not over twenty-one
years. From other sour
ces we learn that when navy men
are arrested for drunkenness, it
develops that they acquired the
habit during their stay on hoard
the ships. If you have sons,
brothers or young friends aboard
any of these ships do you not feel
happier to know that they are
free from the temptation to learn
to drink? And yet liquor news
papers ar poking all kinds of fun
at what they term "piffle" what
ever that means. Uncle Sam has
no moral right to borrow your
sons to hazard their lives in de
fense of the country, and then
subject them to the possibility
of becoming sots. All rummies
are rejected when they apply for
admission to the navy why
make them "rummies" while on
duty?
Mason Quits Real Estate Business
On account of poor health and
other reasons, I will not take any

date possible, and will do so, even
at a greater sacrifice to my per
sonal interest and health in or
der to make obligations good.
I wish to thank those people'
that patronized me; and should
my health improve, I shall be
pleased to assist any of them
'hereafter with such business,
i free of charge.

The Republican Party
Must . Awake
In Time to Vote at the
Primaries, May 19th
for
J. Benjamin Dimmick
For U. S. SENATOR
J. BENJAMIN DIMMICK
The organs of the Democratic and Washington Parties are waiting breathlessly for the nom
ination of Penrose, when they will sweep in and shatter the Republican strength in Pennsylva
nia. Remember public sentiment is against Boss Rule. Penrose must be defeated to pre
serve the Republican Party.
In J. Bonjamin Dimmick we have a loader bold enough to accept the challenge of Penroseism
a man of high cbarac er, of sound scholarship, of clear vision and a complete understanding of
State and National issues.
By nominating J. BeDjamin Dimmick, we can remove the only issue which the Washington
and Democratic Parties have and thus we can insure a normal Republican vote and victory.
Every day the army of men is increasing, who believe that the Republican Party on May
19ih must choose between
Penrose and Defeat or Dimmick and Victory

Easy To Have Apples
Throughout The Season.
The editor of a Philadelphia
class publication, recognized as a
standard in its line, wrote to
State Economic Zoologist H. A.
Surface, Harrisburg, recently
asking for names for five apples
for home use throughout the sea
son. Professor Surface recom-
medded the following;
Yellow Transparent, Sweet
Bough, Summer Rambo, Smoke
house and Stayman Winesap.
His letter also stated: "
"The only real winter apple on
the list is the last named. If you
wish to substitute a winter va
riety for the sweet Bough, I
would recommend Delicious or
Rome Beauty. Jonathan is an
other of very high quality, as is
also the Grimes Golden. It is dif
ficult to think of eliminating any
one of these from a list of apples
with every high quality for grow
ing in the southeastern part of
Pennsylvania for home use."
