NEVER LEFT ~ THE GROUNDS Castle Grove stately in its architec ture and beautiful in all its surround ings enjoys the distinction of being a most charming country seat aud yet one would hardly l'ancy that the place was beautiful enough aud all the con ditions there so nearly ideal as to hold a person a willing captive within its enclosure for a period of eleven years. This is precisely what has occurred. Eleven years ago Miss Sophia Scli • eustein, a native of Sweden, arrived in this city from New York to fill tlie position of cook at Castle Grove. She arrived on the 4:35 p. m. D. L. & W. passenger train, and proceeded direct to Castle Grove. From that day until Thursday morning she never set her foot off the grounds, although she was at liberty at almost any time to visit town. Her object in leaving the gounds Thursday was to take the train for New York,having severed her con nection with Castle Grove. In con versation witli a reporter she explain- 1 ed that during her long term of eleven years she found life very pleasant at Castle Grove and had no desire to leave the grounds. The woman seem ed to be about middle age and fairly intelligent. Henceforth, she said, she will reside with her niece in New York. She was accompanied on her trip by Mrs. Pauline Shillstrom, an other attache of Castle Grove. The sum of human knowledge will shortly be vastly increased,temporari ly, when sweet girl graduates and sturdy young men students will re ceive their diplomas; and then the world will gradually sink back to its wrongs and everything will have to be done over again at the commence ments next Spring. 'Tina sad thought, but one through which a ray of hope comes beaming. The wonder has ever existed at commencement time that such small heads "could carry all they knew." The youngsters mean well and who would deny them the glow ing panorama that opens before their vision. av. traie nas passed when "Success in Life" was the main theme worked over in different forms. Now tariff revision, the need of a larger navy,ex pansion. and a score of political and economic questions take the place of the threadbare subjects of years ago. This gradual development to more sensible aud more practical subjects might be carried still further. The "sweet girls" might tell what they know of the benefits to be derived from scientific cookery, the influence of the mother upon the nation, the consideration of character building as a practical science. Their many broth ers might discuss the proper proportion necessary of determination and ability in overcoming inertia, or the art of a man earning enough to put on the table and on his back. Not quite so high sounding, but just as much an evidence of having acquir ed an education would theses of this kind be. The world needs young men, but it does not have particular use for commencement orations aside from the pleasure derived in hearing a young man or woman take a roseate view of things. It has not yet been officially an nounced but it is generally understood that the Gettysburg battlefield has been selected as the camping ground tor the N. G. P. this year. The partic ular spot selected is understood to be the scene of Picket charge. Gettysburg will prove attractive to the Guardsmen and will doubtless stimulate enlistments. It has its draw back-, however,not the least of which is the poor railroad facilities and the fact that the locality is usually one of either very dusty or very muddy. These will doubtless be overlooked because of the opportunity it will afford the men to visit that historic battlefield and see where flood tide of the rebellion was and rolled back. When a boy turns his bulging pocket inside out we marvel at the quantity and variety of articles he has stowed away. Odd lengths of strings, marbles, a horse-chestnut, a top, brass nails,hick ory-nuts, an apple, and many more art icles are garned by this "snapjier up of unconsidered trifles." We think the collection must be hard on a boy's pock et, and it is. lint do we ever think of the variety and miscellany of the sulwt aiice we put into the pocket of the stom ach? There's the apple and the nuts, and things besides quite as indigestible as brass nails and with no more food value than so many marbles. And yet we wonder that the stomach ' 'gives out." When the stomach breaks down under the strain of careless eating and irregul ar meals it can be perfectly and perma nently restored to health and strength by the use of Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The action of this medicine on the stomach and other or gans of digestion and nutrition is so marked, that relief from disease is at once experienced, and the headaches, liver "troubles" kidney disorders, skin erruptions and other symptoms of a < diseased stomach are quickly cured. ( Whenever the use of a laxative medicine is indicated, use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They act in harmony with the 1 "Discovery "and assist its action by purg- s ing the bowels of fonl accumulation. v AN UNQUESTIONABLE PROCEDURE The rather remarkable and strateget ic procedure of some Mr. Carmel people who were determined to force a patient into the Hospital at t his place now closed by quarantine call ed forth a perfect storm of indigna tion about town Thursday. As might be inferred no patients will be admitted to the Hospital as long as the quarantine lasts. So that when Dr. Meredith was called up by the Mt. Carmel authorities on Wednesday night ami informed that they had a patient for the hospital he peremptori ly told them that the man could not be admitted, explaining the reason why. The patient for whom admission was asked was John Suszezcwez (ren dered into English as "Savage") a na tive of Russian Poland, 4.") years of age, who went violently insane on Tuesday night last. Seizing two ol his children he threw them out of the second story window. 11 < fell into a • perfect frenzy and it was necessary to bind him with ropes. "Savage" is a miner by occupation and a resident of Mt. Carmel township. I In view of his conversation with the I Mt. Carmel authorities on Wednesday night Dr. Meredith's surprise Thurs day can easily be imagined when lie saw a two seated carriage drive up to the Hospital, containing the insane 1 man, "Savage," and four other men. They affected to know nothing of tin doctor's refusal the night before to accept the patient. Neither did they know, they said, that there was any small-pox at the Hospital until they reached Elysburg on their way to this city. The party, which contained two members of the board "of poor over seers, John A. Bricker and Columbus Mcßride, were determined to leave the patient at the Hospital. Dr. Mer edith, however, stood firm in his posi tion and refused to admit him. The men finally finding further effort futile without alighting from the vehicle, turned and drove away taking the in sane man with them. Sometime afterward a strange man was seen about the entrance to the Hospital corridor who was recognized as "Savage," the insane man. Not one of his four attendants, however, were to be seen. Suspecting a trick of some sort Dr. Meredith telephoned down town, asking the police to inter cept the party and to come up for the insane man. Not only did the fact of the quarantine preclude the admission of Savage to the Hospital but the fact that lie hailed from Mt. Carmel, at present a hot bed of small-pox, was in itself a cause sufficient to exclude him. Officer Voris at once started for the Hospital. He had not proceeded far up East Market street when he met Savage coming down. The officer took him into custody and conducted him in the direction of the jail. The in sane man produced the commitment papers, which had been placed upon his person and incoherently and in broken English began to ask some questions concerning them. As they approached the prison the man began to resist. At this juncture Constable Young happened to come along, who willingly lent a hand. It proved to be all the. two ..~v.i.i treet. A delicious supper was served during the evening. The guests presented Mr. and Mrs. Farley | with a beautiful Morris chair.

It i» thought that small-pox was con tracted in Mt. Carmel where Mr. Sheetz attended market. The disease fortunately is in a mild form; never theless the danger of contagion exists. In order to prevent the spread of the disease the school board of Franklin township has resolved itself into a board of health and is maintaining a quarantine of the infected family.
