ALLEY MAY BECOME
A STREET
Among the improvements contem
plated iu Dauville is one which may
result iu giving the First Ward a uew
street, where now exists ouly au un
sightly aud unpaved alley. The thor
oughfare, which is some 20 feet iu
width, lies midway between East Mar
ket aud East Mahoniug streets aud
connects Mill with Ferry street. Uu
the south it is flanked by the row of
rickety uupaiuted stables extending
from the Reynolds buildiug to the
Thomas Beaver Free Library. Ou the
north side the alley is bordered with
the Baldy House and the premises of
Dr. F. E. Harpel.
The location of the alley is such as
to invite a great deal of travel , not
only by vehicles, but also by pedest
rians. To accommodate the latter
Laudlord W. C. Williams has laid a
pavement ou his side as far as the
rear of his property. Dr. Harpel has
also laid a sidewalk. The greater
part of the alley, however, contains
uo accommodation for pedestriaus aud
much of the time walking is very bad.
The alley occupies a part of the
towu where laud has a maximum of
value; it is wide enough for a street
and were it thrown open so as to offer
uo restriction to travel it would fill a
long-felt want. Property owners
whose laud abuts ou the alley have
beeu thinking over these things for
sometime.
They advise that the old stables
which Hue the soutli side of the alley
be torn dowu and tenement houses or
small manufacturing concerns be erect
ed ou their sites. Anticipating some
improvement similar to the above for
some time past Dr. Harpel has had in
contemplation the erection of two
commodious dwellings on the rear of
his large lot to front ou the alley. F.
C. Derr has taken the initiative and
lias begun a two-story frame 28x24
feet, which when completed will be
occupied by O. S. Deibert,the upholst
erer. The proposition is to lay side
walks along each side of the thorough
fare aud to give it a suitable name. Of
these several have beeu suggested but
the one which seems to find the most
favor is the uame "Library Place."
June Weather is Very 0001.
This month of Juue has been most
peculiar iu the way of weather. There
were several very hot days, but the
most of the month has beeu so cool as
to astonish the weather observers of
many years. Monday morniug the
Moutour House thermometers register
ed as low as 48 degrees at 5 o'clock,
aud there was a slight frost in the low
ground. Ou Sunday morning at 6 :30
o'clock tin; same thermometers register
ed 56 degrees.
Several heavy showers fell Mouday
afteruoou aud oue was accompanied
by hail. This cool weather has caused
most plans for summer outings to be
held in abeyance uutil the advent of
real warm days.
Many Miners on Freight Trains.
There is a rush of miners from the
anthracite regions to the bituminous
fields aud every north bound freight
traiu is filled with Hungarians, Poles,
Italians and a few Americans who are
seeking work. Their destination via
the Reading is Newberry where they
catch the Beech Creek route of the
New York Central. The most of the
travel is done by freight, but a few
spend money for car fare aud ride on
passeuger trains.
Very few freights go through here
that do not carry large numbers of
men, from fifteeu to thirty being the
usual quota to a train, although some
have considerably more. The Pennsyl
vania trains also carry many miners
who are looking for jobs.

Special Harrisburg Edition.
The Harrisburg Evening Telegraph
of Saturday issued a special edition,
of forty pages, illustrative of the
Greater Harrisburg. The edition is
finely printed aud is filled with half
tone cuts of the homes, industries and
business places of the city. The
Pennsylvania Steel Works,at Steelton,
is shown iu all its departments. The
edition will surely result iu further
advancement of Harrisburg and in
crease in the influence and circulation
of the Telegraph.
Death of John Girtner.
John Girtner, Sr., of Schuyler, a
well-known resident, died ou Sunday
last. Ho is the father of John Girtner,
undertaker at Turbotville.
FIVE HOUSES
BROKEN INTO
Four houses on East Front street and
oue on Railroad street were broken
into by robbers early Friday morn
ing. Nothing but eatables were taken
and at several places the intruders
were scared away. All tin; places
were entered through the kitchen win
dows by the removal of panes of glass.
At the residence of Harry Pritchard,
_ No. 506 East Front street, the screen
to the summer kitchen was removed
and laid under a tree. There is a
table ou the porch against the window
and all the dishes were removed from
it being placed on the boardwalk.
This gave the burglars access to the
- window. Iu trying to open it the up
per part of the sash was broken. A
large shepherd dog heard the men at
work and his barking caused them to
- leave hastily. They got into the sum
mer kitchen and the ouly thing miss
ed by Mrs. Pritchard was a loaf of
bread. She heard the dog barking
aud says it was shortly after mid
night.
" It is evident that the burglars went
next door, at the home of Miss Helen
Colket, No. 508, where they got into
the out-kitchen, but secured no booty.
I A good haul was mi»de at No. 510,
the residence of Mrs. Louisa Williams,
where the cupboard was looted of all
its contents, potatoes, butter, milk
aud other victuals. The burglars got
in at this place by breaking the glass
aud slidiug back the kitchen window.
Farther east ou Front street, at No.
522, the burglars coolly appropriated
the breakfast, which had been gotten
ready for the men who were togo to
work early. The usual method of
taking out a window pane was prac
ticed aud the window was fastened up
with two butcher knives. Everything
i ou the table was taken. An effort
was also made to get through another
window into the inuer part of the
house, but this was abandoned. It is
thought that the burglars were fright
ened away from here. Martin Swank
lives in this house.
From Swank's it. is but a short dis
tance to the home of Robert Faugh,
at No. 218 Railroad street. The kitch
i en window was forced open and the
window held up with a screw driver.
This is what was used at the other
places, but the burglars had no fur
ther need for it as the Paugh home
was the last on their list. Mr. Swank's
bucket had been packed aud this was
confiscated by the hungry visitors.
The general opinion is that the bur
glaries were committed by men from
the mining legions. Quite a number
have beeu in this city and some of
them seemed to be in very reduced cir
cumstances. It would be well for all
house keepers to keep a close guard over
their premises. Sunbury has had a
number of burglaries recently and
other towns make similar complaints
of numerous robberies.
Flower Gardens Despoiled.
There is nothing more beautiful
among the works of nature than flow
ers. Naturally, therefore, the lover
of flowers is a lover of the beautiful.
How a person, therefore, of such re
finement and devotion to what is beauti
ful iu nature can enjoy a stolen article
is beyond comprehension. Yet such
persons exist—at least the flowers are
stolen and as there is no evidence
that they are sold by the thieves the
inference must be that they are pur
loined purely for the sake of the plea
sure derived from their possession.
Probably never were flower thieves
so active as at present. There are few
gardens iu the vicinity of Water aud
Front streets that have entirely escap
ed. One flower garden ou Water street
famous for its profusion of beautiful
roses was entered on three different
occasions aud the bushes literally strip
ped. No less thau half a dozen gard
ens have been pillaged in that vicinity
i during the last few nights. Not con
tent with the roses at several places
the marauders have ruthlessly broken
down the bushes, indicating that they
were actuated as much by a spirit of
maliciousness as by a desire to possess
the flower.
Woodcock Will Not be Plentiful.
This is a season when the regular
meetings of the Danville Gun and
Rifle Club are slimly attended. Never
theless the members are practicing as
much as possible to keep their hands
iu. On July Ist the woodcock season
opens, after which shooting will not
be a matter of practice but a pursuit
of the real thing. With each succeed
ing year as a result of the semi-month
ly shoots, the members of the Gun
and Rifle Club gain in proficiency as
marksmen, which invests their hunt
ing expeditious with additional inter
est. The severe winter was hard on
game aud itjs said that woodcock this
summer are not very plentiful.
A Dangerous Practioe.
There has beeu a number of narrow
escapes at the Mill street crossing of
the D. L. & W. railroad recently ow
ing to the recklessness of drivers go
ing under the gates when they are be
ing lowered. If this dangerous practice
is not stopped fatalities are likely to
result.
BEYOND A DOUBT.
Good Hard Facts. Told in a IYw Words
as Possible.
Thomas Kear of No. 682 Mill street,
Danville, Pa., says 'Dr. A. W Chase's
Nerve Pills are certainly what they art
represented to be. I got a box last
fall at (Josh's Drug Store and found
they did me a great deal of good. They
invigorated and toned me up generally

GOOD STOCK
OF COAL
Before the mining strike a Peiinsvj
vaniau would have considered absurd a
statement that there would be a time
i when the sight of car loads of coal
would cause comments of surprise,
; yet this strange state of affairs exists.
To the people of Dauville the long
trains of coal became so familiar that
it did not seem within the bounds of
i possibility there could be a cessation
in the shipment of this commodity,
i so powerful in the industrial and com
mercial world.
Ou Saturday a Philadelphia & Read
ing freight train, north-hound,carried
eight cars filled with anthracite from
the Berenice mines,in Sullivan county,
and all who saw them wondered where
they came from.
The railroads have considerable coal
on hand, but are very sparing with it.
The Reading has ill its different stor
age yards about 200,000 tons. A
small quantity at Buffalo is being
shipped to hike ports.
Last year the Reading company us
ed about 1,000,000 tons of coal, of
which nearly 50S»,000 were bituminous.
The coal averaged Hie company about
$1.50 a ton. In nearly all cases anthra
cite coal was used as fuel on the pas
senger engines, hut many freight
locomotives used bituminous Since
the strike fewer freight trains have
been run and the coal freight service
has almost been suspended, although
many crews are now engaged iu the
hauling of soft coal.
The Pennsylvania railroad uses very
little anthracite in comparison with
the amount of bituminous coal con
sumed as fuel. This company consumes
nearly 17,000 tons of eoul a day, most
of which is bituminous. On some of
the fast express trains and trains to
local points anthracite is generally
used while on the freight trains bitum
inous is the fuel. This company has
not suffered by the strike in the an
thracite region, as its increased traffic
in soft coal greatly offsets the loss of
anthracite. The movement of bitum
inous coal has beeu very heavy,and as
there is no need of the cars in the reg
ion the soft coal operators have been
securing all they want.
Watchman Uses His Gun.
Dr. DeWitt and those in charge of
his park at night are considerably an
noyed by persons prowling around the
resort evidently with no good inteu
tious. On Friday night William
Rausch, who acts as engineer for the
merry-go-round aud also watchman,in
order to expel au intruder was obliged
to bring his shot gun into requisition.
The fellow was very defiant; he had
no idea that the watchma.i would
shoot, but tin* latter affirms that he
"blazed away'' and thinks that a few
of the shot took effect.
On the next night the watchman had
more trouble, but on this occasion the
intruder drew the gun. The latter
was accompanied by a woman. They
refused to leave the park and some
hot words ensued when the man pulled
out a pistol and leveled it at the
watchman. The woman quickly grasp
ed the gun, however, aud thus it may
be that a tragedy was averted.
One of the features of the manage
ment at Riverside Park is the good
order that is uniformly maintain
ed. Upon opening his resort some
years ago Dr. DeWitt adopted a set of
rules, which lie put before the public
in such a way as to indicate his deter
mination to see that they are enforced
and as a result no matter how great a
throng of pleasure seekers are on the
ground at one time things have never
been otherwise than <|uiet and orderly
during the day. Watchman Rausch,
together with J. B. Woodling.the pro
prietor of the merry-go round, who
sleeps at the park,declare their inten
tion of controlling the situation and
of keeping things orderly about the
park at night.
Much Malaria.
Local physicians report a great deal
of malaria this spring, which threat
ens before the summer is over to in
augurate a return of the old fever and
ague days. It is not only in town
where the disease prevails, hut also
amid the farming communities up and
down the river.
A leading physician Friday gave
it as his opinion that the prevalence
of malaria, which at present exceeds
anything in recent years, is caused by
the unusually high floods of last wint
er, which submerged wide tracts of
land. Decaying vegetable matter and
noxious substances in different forms,
it is explained, were then deposited in
the streets and fields. After the water
receded and the long drought ensued
under the action of the sun the tracts
affected gave off poisonous exhala
tions, which produce in humanity the
morbid condition known as malaria.
Entertained Young People.
Mr. and Mrs. George Snvder enter
tained a number of young people at
their home,on Upper Mulberry street,
Saturday iu honor of their son Har

EVERY TIME THE CLOCK STRIKf S
"Talk of the difference in business
trips," remarked a well-known busi
ness man last week. "Why, you
youngsters have it line now when you
goto New York. When I commenced
business I looked forward to the
journey for some time, hating to stav
away over night, which was a necessity
in those days, and probably staid up
half the night, so as to lie sure and
catch the train, leaving home way
ahead of time for fear of having the
wrong time table.
"Nowadays, I make up my mind to
goto New York, and, looking at my
watch to see how much time I have
to reach the Reading Terminal, know
ing that the Philadelphia & Reading's
fast trains leave there every tune the
clock strikes, from 7 in the morning
until 7 at night,start off at once,reach
New York in a couple of hours attend
ing to business, strike the Jersey Cen
tral Station, Liberty Sr., on the hour,
anil starting home again, reach Phila
delphia, having used up six hours time
or in reality only five, a> instead of
spending an hour at lunch, 1 got mine
in the Buffet Parlor Car while making
fast time between the two citict*.
"1 tell you what, the Philadelphia
& Reading Railway seeing determined
to secure all the business travel be
tween the two places. They reduced
the time,put Buffet Parlor Cars on all
trains running at hours when they
were needed, hesitate at hardly any
thing that tends to insure the safety,
comfort and pleasure of their passeng
ers, and now comes their new depar
ture,a train from each Terminal every
time the clock strikes in business
hours, scheduled on quick time, and
the best part of all, keeping up to
schedule."
The English "Society for the Preven
tion of Consumption" presided over by
the Prince of Wales, was recently ad
dressed by Sir William Broad bent, who
stated that it was definitely known that
every case of consmnption began with a
germ communicated from some other
case. There i- no such thing as inherit
ed consumption. There may be local
weakness which tends to consumption,
but the germ has absolutely to be plant
ed iu that weak spot before consump
tion can ensue. This ought to comfort
thousands of people who have "weak
chests" or "weak lungs " They are not
foreordained victims oft his dread dis
ease. AH that is needed to bid absolute
defiance to this deadly scourge, is to be
able to strengthen the weak lungs, and
build up a strong body. The answer to
this need is found in Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It so purifies the
blood and increases the blood supply,
that disease is thrown off. and the weak
organs are nourished into perfect health,
which defies germs of every kind.
People, given tip by doctors, emaciated,
bleeding at the lungs, with obstinate,
lingering coughs, are being cured every
day by the use of "Golden Medical
Discovery." It is a strictly temperance
medicine containing no alcohol, whisky
or other intoxicant.
Meeting of the Alliance.
The meeting of the Prohibition

The speakers were all members of
the Prohibition Alliance of this city,
which meets every Thursday night in
the Y. M. C. A. building. The object
of the meeting was to organize ail Al
liance in Riverside, which in view
of the encouragement attending last
night's meeting, it is believed will be
an accomplished fact in the near
future.

FASHIONABLE WOODS.
How Ilird*eje Maple, Curly Walnut
and quartered Oak Are Cut.
It is not commonly known that cer
tain terms applied by furniture men
and workers in fine wood refer almost
entirely to the graining shown by rueth
ods of cutting oak, maple, walnut, etc.,
and the question frequently arises,
What Is curly walnut or blrdseye ma
ple? For clearer explanation the fol
lowing Is presented by Median's Month
ly:
The birdseye figure In maple is pro
duced by cutting around the log and
BIRDSEYE MAPLE AND yl AIiTEREO OAK.
continuing until the log is used up. A
huge knife, and not a saw, is used for
the purpose, the wood being peeled off
like it great shaving; hence birdseye
veneers yards In length are made. Few
species produce this ligure. That ob
tained from the sugar maple is the fin
est in our country.
Curly walnut Is the root and that
portion of the trunk just above the
ground. The log Is sawed ill the or
dinary way. Curly walnut is obtained
from all the species.
Quartered oak Is produced by sawing
the log into quarters; hence the name.
These quarters are then sawed Into
boards from the circumference toward
the center, and thus the "Hake," that
beautiful figure In quartered oak, Is
brought out.
HOW TO GROW BEANS.
Win uiul String;!***** Pod Yari
—Umax. IIUMII MII« 1 Pole.
Tin* wax ami stringless green pod
varieties fur best results should l»e
drilled or dropped four to six inches in
the row. iliey art very tender and
should not be planted until all reason
able danger from frost is passed, but
after that they may lie planted at in
tervals of two weeks or a little more
for succession, advises a Rural New
Yorker writer. As soon as the plants
are well out of the ground apply the
nitrate of soda, same as for early cab
bages. It should be applied every few
days, especially if there are any traces
of rust.
The same treatment as to nitrate of
soda (or saltpeter, if more convenient)
should be followed with the lima beans.
These, both bush and pole varieties, es
pecially in the north, should be start
ed in pans or boxes of soil either in the
hotbed or sunny windows. They may
be started two or three weeks earlier
than they could with safety be planted
In the open ground. Plant one Inch
deep, making sure that the eye is down,
one in a place, and far enough apart
that they may readily be taken up
without disturbing the roots.
In taking up be sure that the soil is
sufficiently moist to adhere well to
them. It is best to take plenty of soil
with the plants and set in holes previ
ously dug. With care in handling the
plants may be reset with entire safety
and the season of maturity very much
hastened. The bush llmas should be
set two feet apart in the rows, as with
good soil and culture they will spread
a good deal.
If the pole varieties are to be trained
to a single pole, they should be set pre
vious to transplanting the beans. Set
three or four plants around each pole
on a slightly raised mound of earth.
Poles seven feet above the ground are
sufficiently high, and when the vines
teach the top they should be tied there
and pinched back.
The trellis is very desirable, but I
have very little faith in corn or sun
flowers planted into take the place of
poles or trellis. When poles are used,
the vines must be trained and tied oc
casionally to the poles, and the most
convenient way is to wind the string or
cord used for tying around the left
wrist. This allows free use of both
hands for the work and saves much
trouble by avoiding tangling the cord.
The World'* Corn Crop.
According to the government report,
the corn crop of the world in 1900, the
latest year for which final quantitative
estimates are available, amounted to
2,822,900,000 bushels against 2,718,200,-
000 bushels in the year preceding and
2,<552,087,000 bushels in 1808. These
figures, of course, w ill not bear a too
literal construction, but cover the

Which They \re Ada pled.
All macaroni wheats are extremely
sensitive to changes of soil and cli
; mate. This will account for certain
peculiarities in the quality of the grain
that have already been noticed by
growers occasionally in this country.
Grains partially soft and white are
from crops grown either under damp
, er, cooler conditions or in places where
1 there is comparatively little nitrogen
I in the soil. The requisite conditions for
a perfect grain are a black prairie soil
; and short, hot, dry summers. On the
whole changes of climate appear to j
: have a greater effect than changes of !
soil, but if the soil becomes almost be
l reft of humus the grain shows the ef- j
feet plainly by becoming more opaque 1
j and white because of the preponder- j
a nee of starch. If in this case the cli- j
mate is at the same time arid, the j
grain remains rather hard, but simply !
because of its dryness. If the soil is •
black and rich and the climate too !
moist, there is considerable discolora- .
tion, and black ends may show them
selves. Two or three good rains are
sufficient to mature a crop. Otherwise
the drier and hotter the better, while a
humid atmosphere can not be tolerated.
From fifty to seventy-five so called ;
! varieties of durum or macaroni wheats
, have been described by different writ
j ers. There are probably a hundred or
more varieties already known to be in
I use under distinct names. Though the
larger number of varieties are in prac-
I tical use of minor importance, there
I are a few having well marked charac
teristics and which have attained a
high reputation.
The variety which Is the basis of a
; very large part of the macaroni wheat
J export from the Azov sea region Is the
j Gharnovka. The wheat itself lias a
| medium long, square, dense, yellowish
| white head, while the beards are dark
j and very long. The grain is quite large,
light yellow in color and rather trans
lucent and vitreous. There are several
different strains even of the Gharnov
ka recognized in the Don territory.
Probably the best of these Is the Yel
low Gharnovka, which has a grain of a
deeper yellow than the others. Both
I the Gharnovka and Yellow Gharnovka
! have recently been obtained and distrib
uted by the department of agriculture,
according to Cerealist M. A. Carleton,
from whose report on macaroni wheats
i these facts are learned. This wheat Is
! admirably adapted to such districts as
j Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and east
ern Colorado. It will probably prove to
be one of the best durum wheats for
the middle and southern great plains

TION.
as well as for New Mexico and Arizo- ;
na. Gharnovka is being grown this j
season by the New Mexico agricultural
i experiment station and so far gives j
j promise of excellent results.
Arnoutka wheat Is apparently not
1 grown to so great an extent as Ghar- !
: novka, but It is nevertheless one of the j
j best varieties of south Russia. So far !
1 as the writer mentioned can determine
I what is properly called Arnautku is a
I wheat having heads of a light red col
or, with a bluish bloom and very long
i reddish beards. The grains are very
I large and long and when grown under
j favorable conditions are a clear yellow,
j extremely hard and vitreous. This and
| Gharnovka are the two varieties which
i have given Russia its reputation for
i macaroni wheats, although one or two
I Russian sorts are probably even better
j than these for marketing that product.
Mr. Carleton lias so far seen nothing
but the grain of the variety now grown
considerably by the farmers of North
and South Dakota under the name Ar
uautka and cannot say whether it is
the same as that described above or
not. This variety is well adapted for
cultivation in Kansas, Colorado, Okla
bom a and Texas.
Maple Sutrnr and Sirup.
Geauga county produces more mapla
sirup per square mile than any county
in Ohio. Vermont also has a large out
put. Vermont suffers from vast quan
tities of bogus sirup manufactured In
cities and flavored with cheap maple
sugar and sold all over the west and
labeled "Pure Vermont Maple Sirup."
So called "Pure Ohio Maple" is on sale
over the west and east and indeed In
cities In Ohio.—Ohio Farmer.

Hlackeye and Whippoorwill cowpeas
were tested at the Cornell station.
There seems little to choose between
them. Hlackeye appears not quite as
vigorous a grower as Whippoorwill.
Rolling clover seeded ground may

Exports of apples from the United
States during 1001 amounted to 500,000
barrels, valued at $1,701,394, against
740,575 barrels in the preceding year,
valued a $1,821,502.

NOT ALWAYS DAMAGED. (
the GomlK That Ar« Knonu In i
Trade Circles in "Seconds."
"It does not follow," said the buyer
for one of the sections of one of Wash
ington's big department stores, "that
goods which are known to the public
and to the trade, and especially to lady
shoppers, as 'seconds' are damaged
goods.
"Goods of all classes are known to
the trade under three great subdivi
sions the absolutely perfect, the
seconds and the short ends—and their
Importance and value are regulated ac
cordingly.
"The manufacturers of goods of all
descriptions, from a locomotive to a
spool of thread, do not try to dispose
of their products as perfect unless they
really are such, however light the con
sciences of some retail dealers may lie
on this point. Woolens aml cottons at
the mills and all goods sold by the
yard and down to bicycle tires are
carefully inspected for Haws and de
fects of the minutest description. Such
as are not up to the standard of merit
placed thereon by the house turning
them out are laid aside by the experts
and classed as seconds. These are dis
posed of to the trade under this name
and at a greatly reduced price as com
pared with the perfectly made article.
"For instance, let us take the case of
men's collars, and especially the high
turnover collat. After being laundered
they are examined for defects, the
most prominent of which is a slight
break in the linen on top in front where
they button. It may be scarcely per
ceptible, hut it is enough to cause it to
be thrown aside, and the name of the
maker is not stamped thereon, as would •
be the case if It were perfect. Very !
often one of the buttonholes is slightly !
torn or there is a little scratch in the
linen on the outer side. Some firms sell
thousands of dozens of these collars a
year at a very low price, while some
of the defects are not perceptible tot lie I
eye of the purchaser, who buys the
goods at retail at less than half the
cost of the perfect article. The same
is true with bicycle tires, the makers
cutting their names off the rubber.
Dealers are careful not to have their
names goon seconds, as the public
would judge their perfect articles by
the imperfect, relying upon the name
of the manufacturer to buy a perfect
article.
"In weaving yarn goods a broken
thread or a loose pin or n few drops of
oil from the loom will make half a
dozen or more yards imperfect, yet
salable as short ends. These are cut
off from the bolt and sold cheap to
dealers who make a specialty of han
dling such goods. Some mills will have
at the end of the season thousands of
these short ends. The retail buyers
and Jobbers secure them at low prices,
the public very often supposing that
they are getting 'bargains' in the per
fect goods at less than known market
rates. Usually they receive full value
for their money.
"The loss to the manufacturers and
the mills from seconds and short ends
makes a big hole in the profits at the
end of the season, and this loss is
taken into consideration in the whole
pale price asked for the perfect goods.
In some mills they have a system of
making the operatives pay for any dif
ference in the damaged goods where
the loss may be traced to their per
sonal fault and not that of the ma
chine. This system makes the opera
tives very careful, as it materially af
fects their wages. If a manufacturer
attempted to put on the market sec
onds for perfect goods, the retail deal
ers would not buy from him, and the
public would likewise withdraw its
patronage."—Washington Star.
Detected by n MlnMpelt Word.
In a case of political importance, the
whole case of which hinged upon the
question of the genuineness of certain
letters, the most important witness
was, while under examination, suddenly
taken by surprise by being called upon
to write down a particular word which
occurred in the letters. The slip of
paper was handed back with the word
misspelt in an identically similar fash
ion to that in which it appeared in the
correspondence, and the clever forger
was soon after detected in the witness
himself.
