Bamer from Selinsgrove ta Riverside, The Officers of the Lewistown Divis ion are considering the matter of changing the time of the afternoon train leaving Sunbury for Lewjstown. They would like to know whether it would suit the people along the line better to have the tram leave Sunbury at 6:25 p. m. instead of 2:15 p. m. We think that the change would be' an improvement over the present arrangement, as at present, no one can leave a station on this division and go any further than Sunbury or Lewistown and get back the same day. Under the other ar rangement, a trip could be made as far as Lock Haven, Mt Camel, Wilkes barre, Harrisburg and intervening stations and return the same day. One could leave Philadelphia at noon and get home the same. day. Middleburg should have this train and so should every town along the road, but as Be llnsgrove would not be satisfied without an afternoon train, and Middleburg, tie county seat, needs the afternoon train to accommodate the people fiom the East who have a few minutes busi ness here, instead of running the after noon train only to Sellnsgrove,' it should run at least to Middleburg. an m mm aav Uae iumI tirlndlns atak Devoe Lead and Zlno Paint wear twice id In a day.

Charles Boush, an aged citisen of Freeburg, departed this life on Monday morning, March 24, from consumption, after an Illness covering six months or more. He was aged 79 years, 9 months and 11 days. He was born in Peun township, June 13, 1822, and baptized August 17, 1822, by the Bev. Mr. Schmidt He was confirmed In the Lutheran faith by the Rev. C. C. Miller, at his own request shortly before be died. He was married to Matilda, daughter of the late Jona than Straub, which union was blest with four children, three sons and one daughter, of whom only the daughter, Mrs. F. 8. Boyer, of Lawton, Mich., survive him. The deceased was a stoue mason by trade, and a fair mechanic, and was known and worked as such over all the nearby counties. There are a few homes in Freeburg and vicinity which have not some specimens of his handi work within their confines, but hunt ing and trapping was his chief delight and he roamed over all the montain- ous sections of this and adjoining counties in quest of game. It was a rare time when his premises did not shelter one or more wild specimens of his skill as a trapper, and probably there was no one person of his time in the county who prepared and sold more pelts than he, the result of his success as a hunter. The funeral took place Thursday morning, aud was conducted by Rev. C. C. Miller. J. H. Arbogast directed the obsequies. Interment in L. A It Cemetery. BIEOEL.

Dear Sir : Buckland, Main, is a sea coast town : hard place for paint About seventeen years ago, Farrand, Spear & Co., Rockland, began with Devoe, Their first sale to paint the Farringtou residence, well known there. Mr. Farrand says the house appears, Irom the street, to be well painted now, and has never been repainted. We should like to know more defl nltely about a' Job of paint that has lasted seventeen years on a sca-sldc house. It Is the longest time we have had a report on. Lead and oil lasts three years a first- rate Job and nobody says it lasts long' er. We are content to say that Devoe lead and zlno lasts twice as long: but we know of houses innumerable, on which our paint has exceeded six years, Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. W. W. Wittenmyer has transferred bis store to the Geludt brothers, and the latter gentlemen took possession on Apr.lstTheWittenmyers have been in the mercantile business in this town for almost seventy five years, longer than any other family in Central Penn. During this time they have occupied the same corner where their fine busi ness block now stands. The business was established in 1823 by the late Sam uel Wittenmyer and was conducted by him until 1870 when his son, Waldo Wittenmyer, entered the firm. This partnership of Samuel Wittenmyer & Son was continued until 1889 when the senior member of the firm retired. From 1889 until until now W. W. Witten myer conducted the business. We wish the new proprietors the success which their predecessors enjoyed for so many years. NO RELATION. By Lady Caak, ate Ttantasce Claflla of Undoa FotttM Port. Sujh Is the heading of a great Lon don Daily in its relation of the claims of two poor women under the "Work men's Compensation Act which have just been tried at the Merthyr County Court "Maria Jones claimed against the Dowlals Iron Company, as personal re presentative of D. W. Thomas, collier, sixteec, whowss killed on April 5th, at one of the respondent's coal-pits, by a fall of the roof. Respondents objected that the relationship between applicant and deceased (a natural son) was not legitimate, and his honour, having re gard to the ruling in Dickenson and the North Eastern Railway Company, dis missed the claim. "In the matter of Ann Prosser and Messrs. Hills, Plymouth Colliery Com pany applicant claimed ou account of the loss by death through an accident of Rees Prosser. She had been married to the deceased twelve years, and lived with him until his death, but, being the sister of the deceased's wife, was not his lawful wife. On that ground the claim failed. In both cases sums of ten pounds paid into court by the respondents for funeral expenses were ordered to be paid out and no expenses were allowed." We quote the foregoing as two per tinent instances of the brutality of our laws in such cases, and of the need of a sweeping redress. For years we have publicly advocated the legal recogni tion of all parental relationship wheth er legitimate or otherwise, and have pointed out that the cruel disabilities of a woman who marries her deceased sister's husband, are based upon an ex tremely doubtful interpretation of a passage in Leviticus. Unfortunately, the Bill for legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's sister, although passed triumphantly through the "Commons" by overwhelming majorities, was de feated in the "Lords" mlxiy through the action of the Lords Spiritual. With a few honourable exceptions the Bight Reverend and Most Bevereud gentle men, after the maimer of a Traders' Uniou, combined in a solid phalanx for the preservation of theological con celts against moral and civil equity and natural rights. Bishop who were strangeis to the very door-keepers or who seldom occupied their episcopal benches, rushed to Westiminster with Indecent haste to block the latest effort in the cause of freedom. We owe these purblind legislators few thanks for any thing they have ever doue, aud least of all for this, and we are well assured that whatever the duration of their ec clesiastical power may be, their secular authority Is fast approaching Its end. The handwriting is on the wall and can be read by him who runs. The fair spirit and goodsensoof the Eng' lish people are already in rebellion against the mediaeval pretensions of priestly peers, and every legislative success of theirs against the liber ties of the nation will only hasten their Parlimentary extinction. But for their so swelling the minority it was able to outvote the majority of tho secular Lords over the lust Bill. Mrs. Aim Prosser would have received substanti al compensation from Messrs. Hills for her husband's death, whereas the poor woman lias had to pay his funeral ex penses and has been probably ruined by the costs of prosecuting her claims. All this may be strictly in accordance with the ordinary notions of employ, era and capitalists, but for the Right Reverends and Most Reverends, this Is "to visit the widows and fatherless in their affliction" with a vengeance, and utterly opposed to the apostolic teach ings. There is a largo party in this country which desires to consider mar riage as a purely civil contract for mere mutual convenience, to be dissolved by mutual consent if deslied, and the Bi shops have given practical emphasis to this doctrine, and have decided that those who have been "united In holy matrimony" may, notwithstanding, have no relation to each other. Merthyr Is the chief industrial centre of the Welsh principality, and conse quently should contain no small num ber of "Illegitimates." There must be hundreds of mothers there in the same position as Maria Jones before her un fortunate boy was crushed to death by the falling roof of a coal-pit The boy appears to have been the mainstay of his mother who was neither maid, wife, nor widow. To console her for the loss of her son the law Informs her that he was toot legally related to her, and therefore it Is preposterous for her to claim under the act specially enact ed for that purpose. And yet, we are gravely told by commentators II ka uiackatone that Christianity is Inter woven with the law and constitution, and forms a serious part of them. We should be glad to know where It came in in this lustance. The rleh Dowlals Iron Company will have to be careful of the lives aud limbs of their legiti mately born employees, but as for the illegitimate they will probably hence forth form the forlorn hope of their works aud of every other dangerous In dustry, and, in spite of the Workman's Act may be exposed to accidents with the utmost recklessness without any fear of lines, mulcts, or compensation. In this respect our legislators Iiuva made a serious omission which should le remedied without delav. Thev have even retroocded from the elementary principle of our Angle-Saxon forefath ers in which the "wereglld" was paid to the "natural" relatives of tho de ceased, as is proved by "The Ancient Laws of England," published long ago by the Record Commissioners. At present the state of the law res pecting bastardy and marriage with a deceased wife's sister, is a scandal to Eugland as an intelligent and Christian country. The two cases inentioued will be multiplied a thousandfold. Ar tificial ties are hereby declared to be superior to natural ones, so that a son is no relation of his mother's, nor a a husband of his wife's. The whole thing Is too Indecently tolerated, too cruel to be passed unnoticed, and too mischievous to lie continued. Wo pro tested against it again and again, and have a kiud word to say tor the illegi timates In our latest work, "The Chil dren of Scorn." We appeal to every true-hearted man and woman to join in our crusnde against social Injustice and the oppression of tho pxr. Nor do we offer any apology for returning to the subject again lu this paper, for so long as the uleuding hearts of mothers aud wives are wounded afresh by tho iniijuitle of depravsd and n orstrous . laws, we shall continue to appeal aud pray for justice. Gone To Bt A Soldier. Far away in a western tent, To be a soldier he has gone. Now scrying In a regiment, Far from his beloved home. For three loin; vears he went nu-nv To serve his country true, "V Some day we'll hear the people say That he wus a hero. too. He was a member of the baud, And played a tenor horn, But the last shake of bis hand, Made us all feel quite forlorn. He was his father's only son, His mother's hope and joy. A loving sister, only one, Had this patriotic boy. Oh ! how hard it must lie to leave, A sweetheart, young and fair, But alas, the time come we believe, That her sorrows yet he'll share. We pray lie can all harm dodge, While to lie a wnldier he has gone. Aud Ood will o'er him watch, And again lead him safely home. Charles O. .Slmnibach.

ROCKEFELLERS GET Ju.ooo.ooo. Two of the big Rockefeller companies Standard Oil aud Consolidated Gas one day last week declared $21,500, 000 In dividends to the lucky persons who own stock in these coritorations. Of this amount, $20,500,000 represents the Staudard Oil dividend of 20 ier cent on the ? 1,000,000,000 of capitaliza tion, while the gas company will dis burse f 1,500,000 to its stockholders. John D. Rockefeller, with his brother, William, owns a controlling interest or $55,000,000, In Standard Oil stock, so that he received that day cash $.s,000, 000.
