E. chnrob. The services had not yet begnu. He had just seated himself in his pew.aud was preparing to enjoy the tnoruiug j service, when he was seized with a 1 of apoplexy and passed away a -! few moments later in the hall at the rear of the church, where several peo- I ■ pie had carried him. Mr. Edler would have been seventy years of age next June, aud had walk |ed all the way from his home, No 722 East Third street, through the.severe , I snow storm, to attend service. He was apparently in the best of i health and reached the church in li is r usual titnr l . In go:n* up the stairs to I the main auditorium, however, here- II marked to a young man whom he met jon the stairway, that the long walk 1 had made him breathe rattier hard,but ) joked and talked, and appeared to be iu the best of spirits. After seating himself in his pew he 1 sneezed twice, violently, arid a lady ; who was sea'ed near him noticed that his head dropped over to one side, and at once went to him to inquire if he ' were ill. He was air ady unconscious. Sev eral men ran to his assistance and he was carried to the room in the rear of , the pulpit, and pl«ced on a couch, where he expired in a few minutes. Dr. G. D Nutt was hurriedly call i ed in, hut death cam* before he arriv ed. His brother William was attend | ing the Love Feast, in the olass room, 1 down stairs when he was passing away, and he was sent for, but Mr. Edler died without regaining consiiousuess. Jos ph Edler was born in Williams -1 port, and resided there all his life, with the exception of a few years, which lie spe 112 at Montoarsville and at Hepburnville He atone time work : j ed ou the old Pennsylvania canal, and later engaged iu the mercantile busi ne-s , which he continued until about lift"en years ago, when be retired. He conducted a grocery store on East Third street, for about thirty years, and later conducted a flour and feed store. He had been a member of the Meth odist church for many years aud was one of the most faithful in attendance. Ho w»n also a strong advocate of pro hibition. State to Own Armories. Pending in the State Assembly at present ts a hill providing for the ap pointment and maintenance of an arm ory board and tor the payment of its expenses arid for the erection and maintenance of armories throughout the state. I The bill provides for the oieation of an armory board to consist of five members to be appointed and the Gov ernor and Adjutant General as ex officio members,whose duty it shall be to locate and erect armortes for the use of the National Guard in such cities as it may be desirable to main tain organizations of the guard. This commission ts given authority to pur chase ground and erect armories the : maximum amount to be exp"iided be ing $20,000 tor a company of infantry and s.it>,oot) for a troop of cavalry 01 battery of artillery, the amount io in | elude the purchase of ground win re it 1 is necessary. Title to all such property is to re main in the Slate of Pennsylvania and whenever any organization possessing att armory shall b<* disbanded for any 1 reason the building is to be sold and the proce ds rev> rt to the armory fund, ; the creation of which is provided for 1 in the bill. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the act the sum of $500,- 000 is appropriated. The bill has been reported favorably aud will oome up in the house iu a few days for final action. Every officer in the Guard and | a great many of the enlisted men are at present using their best eudeavor with the legi lators from their district In order to bring about the passage of j the measure. 1 ,A SENTENCE OF CON- I 1 SIDEMBLE LENGTH | To Senator Bacon, of Georgia, is as cribed the credit of evolving the most marvelous sentence ever emitted in de bate in the Senate. It was when the Agricultural bill was up Friday. Ba con reeled this combination of words off when discussion the syrup ques tion. It is asserted today that no man can parse the sentence and that only Bacon could have emitted it without falling by the wayside. Read : "The Seuator will probably rein n»- ber that last year when this matter was before the Senate we had some little oolloqay about it, and I tried to explain to the Senate that the purpose of this appropriation was to endeavor by experiments on the part of the Gov ernment to determine opon a process which when generally used, would re sult in such a uniformity of production as would enable the article to become an article of general merchandise, or rather, generally marketable, explain ing. as I did, all the time, that while this syrup had been made for a century all through that part of the country, and successfully, it was made simply by farmers for their own use and lor a little local comsumptiou, so that al most as mauy different processes were used and as many different grades of syrup were produced uuder those cir cumstances as there were different producers; that in consequence, when an article of the kind was put upon the market nobody knew what that particular article was without sam pling it; and it was the design of the department to establish a plant by which a regular standardprocess should be inaugurated and so generally be come known throughout the country that it would be generally adopted and the product would be of a uniform character." NEVER TIRE OF IT. Danville People Are Pleased to Show the Gratitude They Feel. People cured of lame, weak and ach ing backs, kidney weaknesses and urinary troubles, never tire of letting others know about the remedy which did it. —Doan's Kidney Pills. The cores are permanent cures, as people who were cored years ago now testify. Here is a case of the thorough work ings of Doan's Kidney Pills in Dan ville. John B. Holiister, puddler, of 611 Mill street, says: "Some years ago I suffered from distressing kidney and bladder weakness which had clung to me for some time. I also was annoyed with seveie pains right across my loins so severe at times as to almost pros trate me. The kidney secretions were very annoying and painful and too frequent, particularly at night. I us ed a number of remedies but with no apparent effect. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended to me and I used them. The result was a perfect cure. I can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as being all that is claimed for them. " For sale by all dealers. Price 60 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., 60le ag» nts for the United States.

Over a score of publio school teach ers of Harrisburg, who have been identified with educational matters for a generation or more will bj retired on pension if the bill which is now being widely discussed and which will soon be introduced in the Legislature, providing for retirement on half pay of all teachers who have been in con tinuous services for thirty years or more, and who have passed the age of itxty years.fiDally becomes a law. Such a law would remove from acitve doty some instructors who began their ca reers there before or during the war time and whose names are clsoly in terwoveu with the boyhood and girl hood memories of thou-audsof Harris burgers. The oldest teacher in point of ser vice is I-aac L'oyd, now situated at the Reily building, who began his work in 1858. Previous to aoina there he taught eight years in publio schools elsewhere, making his total career as a teacher fifty-five years.or nearly two generations, which far outstrips that of any other educator of that s otion. Although some of thee teachers may not yet have reached the required age limit for retirement, it is safe to as sume that most of them have or toon will. At any rate,the above list shows twenty-three who have been in active, oontinooos service for thirty years or longer, whicii is a remarkable record when it is considered that Pittsburg, with its many times greater popula tion has but seventy teachers eligible to be pensioned under terms of the proposed law. As the bill only provides for an an nual appropriation of 17000 for two years to the pension fund.it is consid ered hardly probable that it will paßi unless amended to provide for larger appropriations.
