Suck Painter's Close Call. Charles Askins. a tinsmith employ ed at the stove works, met with an adventure Saturday afternoon which has impressed upon his miud the im portance of exercising due caution when working at a height above ground. He was engaged in painting the sixty-five foot smoke stack at the works. A succession of rungs riveted to the stack on the outside form a lad der from the bottom to the top. In painting, however, it is impossible to reach every joint ol the surface from the ladder and a swinging seat i> used suspended from a hook holding onto the top of the stack. The man !>egan work at the very top. The swinging seat with the rope gear had been used on previous occa sions and wa- supjiosed to be perfectly safe. Mr. Askins is unable to explain why he took the precaution, but in be ginning his work while s.-ated ujwa the swinging seat and using the brush with his right hand he clutched one of the rungs with his left hand and kept one foot on one of the rungs lower down. It was this that saved bis life. Without a moment's warning the rope. weak<-ned.uo doubt,by age,snap ped in two and the seat along with the pot of paint attached to it dropped from beneath the painter and fell to tlie ground sixty feet below. Mr. Askins considers this one of the clos est calls of his life. A moment later he would have swung around to the opposite side of the stack where the rungs are out of reach. Have Putin Telephones.

The I'uited is essentially a home company of home people for home service. It is made up of independent companies organized throughout this part of Penn sylvania several years ago to meet the demand for a service, not controlled by the Bell people. A company was formed in Montour aud Columbia counties, the stockhold ers of which are people residing in these counties. By their efforts lines were built which gave a home service. Practically everybody subscribed and the United 'phones are to bo touud in nearly all the business places in this city and in the smaller towns. The rural sections have been thoroughly reached and the farmer has his 'phone as well as the residents of the towns. It is this wide-spread service that makes the United system indispens able. No other company lias a system which reaches so many people. The United is the union of the in dependent telephone companies of the state, with headquarters in Philadel phia. It covers the counties of Mont our. Columbia, Northumberland, Ly coming, Sullivan, Centre, Clinton, Union.Snyder,Mifflin, Perry. Juniata, Dauphin, Lebanon, Berks, Lancaster, Schuylkill, Delaware, Chester and others. The contract with the Con solidated will add Luzerne, Lacka wanna and the northern part of the state. The system also extends through the western, southern and eastern parts and its growth is becoming great er every day. The demand for a good telephone : service at reasonable rates ha- been met by the growth of this independent system, its popularity being shown by its large number of subscribers. Kvery promise made has been kept and the low rate charged enables many persons to have a telephone who were barred from its use by the excessive prices charged before the independent com panies came into existence. In those days telephoning was a luxury, but now it is a necessity within the reach of everybody. All this has been ac complished by the United, which i.- constantly carrying on a policy of ex tension and betterment. The scope of the United is better shown by the number of place?, it reaches in this district. No. 4.

Utter, a prominent phy sician. of Panama, Columbia, in a recent letter states. "Last March I had as a patient a young huly sixteen years of age. who had a very bad attack of dys entery. Everything I prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she was grow ing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had lie come so weak that she could turn over in bed. What to do at this critical mo ment. was a study for me, bnt I thought of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it. The most, wonderful re sults were effected. Within eight hours she was feeling much better; inside of three days she was upon her her feet and at. the end of one week was entirely well."

A thrilling runaway occurred Friday evening on Bloom and Mill streets, serious results being prevented only by the plucky action of Dr. Beeber Vastine in clinging to the reins until he had stopped the mad run of the horses. Dr. Harry M. Sober, who was with Dr. Vastine in the buggy, was thrown out at bis own office, but was fortunate in escaping injury. While Drs. Vastine and Sober were driving down Bloom street, above the Reading railroad, the strap attached to the collars of the horses broke. The animals became frightened and dash ed down the hill at a rapid rate. They could not be controlled because the collars had slipped nearly over their heads. Several collisions were nar rowlv averted and the wide turn made into Mill street forced the horses over to the west curb. It was then that Dr. Sober was thrown out, but he managed to save himself from being hurt. After get ting away from the curb the horses continued their swift run south on Mill street. Dr. Vastine got them under control and succeeded in stop ping them at the canal bridge. The buggy was not damaged.

Then Rentier came to the hat. amid (he cheering of the crowd. Like '"Casey, mighty Casey" all eyes wore upon him.but unlike the Casey, he did not strike out. not he. His eye was oil the ball and a two-bag ger from his trusty bat put Hoffman and Shannon over home plate. A great shout from the audience,the tossing of hats in the air and a frenzy of joy among the""rooters" attested the ap preciation of the timely hit. Milton's only run, made in the eighth, was the result of a bit of strategy that failed. A feint was made of putting Poo out at second. Louth started from third, getting over the plate ahead of the ball, which was re turned to Hummer by Clayherger. The idea was all right, but the play ing was not (juick enough to ensure its success. However all is well that ends well and the "Old Timers" blocked any further run getting on the part of the visitors. Devere, the crack pitcher for Mil ton, was sent to centre field in the fourth inniug as his arm gave out. Moran went into the box from right field, while his place was taken by Louth, who had been at centre field. The "Old Timers" got one hit off Devere and they touched up Moran for four, one being the victorious double. Shannon did great work iu centre.hav ing five chances all of which he accept ed in brilliant style.Poe,third baseman for Milton, also did excellent work.
