MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Feb. q. IWS. PRESS CENSOR HAY NOW BE ABOLISHED ST. PETERSBURG. Feb B.—The official announcement was made today •112 the appointment of M. Kubeku, di rector of the Imperial Library as Presi dent of a councilative commission for the reason of the laws governing the censorship aud the press. The com mittee included three Senators,the as aiatant Minister of instruction, six representatives of the Academy of Sclense aud four editors * The appointment of this commission i> an act which has immense possibili ties in the wav of Russian progress One of the greatest enemies to the ad vancement of the lower classes ha« been their inability to obtain through iheir owu medium of information the pr« «s news of what was being done in the higher classes of the empire. There has been an iron-bound censorship on •11 news printed in Russian papers •ud this censorship has precluded the publication of anything which would be for the marked benefit of the work ing and middle classes. Now and thrn an editor, more dar ing than his fellows, would publish an item giving an insight into official mismanagement. Such an editor how ever generally proved the last of that paper. The sincerity of the govern ment in this new step appears to be confirmed by the personnel of the com mission which will consider the im provements noted. With four editors on the commission there is every like lihood that the Russian press of the future will be an entirely different in stitution than that of the past. Then, too,this step seems to presage the adoption of other aud perhaps more important reforms by the government. A Guaranteed Cure For Piles. Itching, Blind, Bleeding or protrud ing Piles.

A. : "This occasion is full of inspiration for those who delight in the success and growth of a good case The con templation of the moral, intellectual •nd educational results which the Young Men's Christian Association of Philadelphia has wrought within its life of fifty years is a cure for pessi mism and serves to reinstate our belief that the valne our people place upou the things to be desired is not alto gether measured by immediate returns In money or selfish indulgence. As we »ijw the unprecedented American rush for wealth aud trade advantages, we •re apt to give entrance to the fear that patriotism and good citizenship •re let behind in the race. We do uot always see through the dust and tur moil that the instrumentalities of civil righteousness are still holding their own. We hear the din and shouting Of money-getting aud we are not al ways certain that iu the midst of it all the steady voice of conscience is plead ln« for better things. It is well,there tore, that occasions like this in which ve today take part should be appoint ed, to the end that we may more fully learn that moral achievements should be added to phenomeual success iu taking an inventory of our country's valuable possessions." Will Try Again. HARRISBURG, Feb. 8 -An effort to secure the passage by the legislature today of a resolution requesting the board of pardons to commute the death aentence of Mrs. Kate Edwards to im prisonment for life was defeated in the boose on a technicality, and will be offered again. It recites that the fact has been ascertained that she is an •pileptic aud therefore irresponsiole ; that her husband had threatened her life and she was impelled by nervous apprehension to take his life, and finally. that it is the sense of the legis lature that capital punishment of a woman has a generally demoralizing effect upon the community and should be avoided.

James Henry Dtrlingrou, 1). D., of Brooklyn, of his election to the Bishopric of the new EpisocpU dio cese of Harrisnnrg,states that theKev. Darlington acoepts. The following are the members ot the committee who on Tuesday notifi ed Dr. Darlington: Rev. Walter R. Breed, D. D , rector of St. James, ot Lancaster; Rev Charles R. Morison, rector of St. Matthew's, of Sunbuiy; A. P. Peril y. Christ Church, Will iamsport.and George S. Comstock, St Lube's, Mechanicsburg. The commit tee notified the bishop-elect at Christ Church rectory, Brooklyn. Dr. Darlington s home newspapers speak of his election in flattering terms. The Brooklyn Eagle printed the following the day after his elec tion : "In the choice of Dr. James 11. Darlington as bishop of the Harrisburg diocese, the clergy of that district have shown wisdom. Dr. Darlington is the rector of Christ church in this city, a large and influential p rish, and his clerical experience covers 38 years. During that time he has be come thoroughly conversant with church matters,but he has al>o proved himself an alert and publio spirited citizen ;he has been chaplain of a local regiment, trustee of a college, a mem ber of conservative,yet progressive so cieties and bodies, and has kept i himself informed upon great ques tions. He is a man of agreeable per sonality, and his career in the pulpit lias been marked by scholarship and dignity. Ho will be no mere figure head as bishop,but will prove that the honor which has come to him nn-ought has been properly awarded." The Brooklyn Times uttered the fol lowing on the same day : "It is yet uncertain whether or not the Bishop-elect will accept the honor that has been conferred upon him. j Such acceptance will iuvolve more than ordinary sacrifice on the part of Dr. Darlington. Many and close tie bind him to Brooklyn, which has b en his home during the greater part of his career, and strong pressare will be brought to bear upon him to iuduoe him to remaiu with his own people. Bat Dr. Darlington is peculiarly qoali | fied in many rt spects for the work of a bishop. He is more practical in his methods than is commou in his pro fession ; ho is, above all tilings, sane anrl reasonable, and has the tact and diplomatic skill which the bishop is in need of who would avoid frieti n with the clergy of his dijeese. "There was much regret among those of the clergy on Long Island who knew his qualifications when his home diocese failed to name him as the suo | cessor of the late Bishop Littlej ihn, although, if he should accept the hon or conferred upon him yesterday by the Harrisburg Diojesan Convention Long Island's loss will be Pennsyl vania's gain. The members of Christ i church and the community in which he ha'* long been an active worker m every movement for moral, social and religious b tteiuient, will deplore his depaiture.but t ere are none who will say that tho Harri-b'jrg diocese lias not made a wise choice."

A., an electric bell has been installed, which is used to remind those engaged in playing the games (when they become too boisterous) that quiet must be re stored. If at the first ring of the bell the unnecessary noise is not stopped,a second ring stops the gam<» It is found neoessary for some such arrange ment, uot only to secure proper con duct, but to prottct hoys and young men who desire to »lijoy the games in a more quiet manner. No discrimina tion will be niade, and tho-e who fail to keep the rules must suffer tl.o con sequences of their behavior.

Coughs and Colds in children as well as adults are frequently dangerous at this season of the year, and a little precaution now may save much trou ble, worry and expense. Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar, a combined cough and cold cure—a new scientilic discovery in medicine—is a certain cure for Coughs, Colds, ing Cough, etc. The coughs and colds are cleared out of the system bv gent ly moving the bowels, and at ttie same time the throat, chest, lungs and bronchial tubes are so strengthened that there is little probability of dan ger.

BIJCKNELLSTUDENTS : FOUND GUILTY' The onlv case that attracted more than passing attention at the February t. rui of Criminal Court at Sunbury, was the Milton assault a.ul batterv ca«>e in which the two Bucknell stu dents, Boyer and Smiley, were the de fendants.

Wednesday morning Judge Savidge gave both students niand and set aside the verdict against Smiley, suspended sentence on Royer but directed the latter to pay thecosti of prostration witlnu twenty days rime.

WEIGHING OF MAILS WILL SOON START reparations are being made by the employes of the railway mail service j i tor weighing the mails,an event which \ ! occurs every four years. This is a task ! which is put upon the railway postal | and transfer clerks for the purpose of I determining-on what basis the con i tract with the railways for the carry • mg mails shall be made by the govern | ment. Every contract made with a railroad | ! for carrying mails is for a period of j four years. When the time comes for 'the renewal of contracts the officials in J the post office department require a knowledge of just how much mail is' being handled by the railroads at all of the principal points, and to obtain | this information the mail is weighed j for a preiod of forty dtys. Every sack | of mail that is put on a train or taken I off, must be weighed, and a recoid | kept of it. ; The labor of the transfer and postal j clerks is just doubled by the weighing ;ot the mail, and to help out the ap nointment of extra clerks is authoriz ed by the Postmaster General. At present preparations are being made to weigh the mails in the second division of the railway mail service, j which includes New York, Pennsyl vania, New Jer-ey, Delaware, the pen insula of Virginia, and Maryland and Porto Kico. l h"y are >till discovering the wives of Johaun Hock,the latest count being 2S), with a possibility that several may have escaped before they were enum erated.
