VITALITY THE MAIN THING. lit- Who Hum II I'iillm Throuich, hot the flthrp Fellow Din. Two men undergo operations of the same character in a hospital. The same surgeon does the work. The conditions are identical, F.qual care Is exercised In each operation, and each is success fully performed. Vet one man recov ers; the other dies. Or there is a tre mendous business pressure which does not let up for months. It puts the men under a terrible strain. one man goes to pieces, and bis business Is wrecked, lie cannot keep the pace; he loses con trol of himself. Ills rival has no bet ter brains than he, perhaps not so good, yet he pulls through successfully. We say that there is a difference in vitality; that one man lias more of it than the other. I once saw a man in a hospital who was suffering from five fatal diseases, and yet he would not die. He had kept on living year after year in spite of everything, lie refused to succumb We find the same thing illustrated ev ery day. In a shipwreck there are men who seem to give up their lives with out a struggle. without any power to r«- sist; others cling to an open raft for days without load, almost frozen, con stantly whipped by the waves, but for some reason or other they survive. The vitality In them Is strong. Notice how rapidly and surely one man recovers himself after a nervous breakdown while another drags aloug through years of semi invalidism. No tice the results upon two men of a long cold drench of rain. One of them comes down with pneumonia; the other suffers no ill effects. How is It to be explained? He has a reserve somewhere—an in ner power of resistance, an aggressive something that will not be downed. We call it vitality. A man can't have a more valuable asset than that. It means Joy instead of dumps, success instead of failure, life perhaps instead of death. Luther II CJulick, M. I>., ID World's Work. Tin- Modern Dinner. A medical journal complains that the modern dinner lias become an ex tremely depressing affair and that, so far from beiug a feast of reason aud a flow of soul, the conversation Is a mere interchange of symptoms, details of operations or the advantages of this or that cure. Such topics evidently are not provocative of remarks that set the table in a roar, nor do they tend to promote t lie good digestion which should wait on 'appetite. Indeed, there is little appetite for digestion to wait upon. The daintiest of menus is disre garded when the diners are under a regime, and courses pass untouched, while powders are openly stirred into wineglasses. Following Directions. Jones hail been quite ill. One day the doctor called and found him In a bathtub. "Why, man, are you crazy? You must be anxious to die."

" At 10::J0 o'clock the Commonwealth rested. Mr. Ikeler explained that the witnesses on the Commonwealth's side am braced all the eye witnesses of the shooting and that the testimony had been very fully presented. In view of this and the fact that the defendant was in such a nervous and highly wrought condition at the time of the shooting as to be hardly a competent witness the defense had resolved to tiffer no testimony in the ease It was then 10:25 o'clock and the court after consulting with the attor neys, in order that the addresses to the jury might follow each other, without any interruption, decided to adjourn court and reconvene at I o'clock instead of at 3.the usual after noon hour. After court convened at 1 o'clock Hon. 11. M. Hinckley for the Com monwealth went to the jury. The ad dress,which lasted nearly an hour and a half,covered the ground in its en tirety and ranked with the most effec tive efforts of Mr. Iliiw Kiev's life. He declared that the evidence clearly showed malice and motive that when Dietrich brought out the revolver he intended to use it and that the theory of accident in the premises was not tenable. He claimed that the pistol did not go off accidentally, as before it could be discharged it was neces sary to draw tlio hammer back to full position, which in itself showed that Dietrich intended to shoot. He em phasized this point very strongly. He quoted the evidence fully to show that Dietrich not only when he made damaging admissions, but. also when be did the shooting was jierfectly ra tional and knew what he was about. He held that all the evidence justified a verdict of murder in the lirst de gree At 2:45 Hon. Fred Ikeler went to the jury for the defense. Mr. li;eler's address was likewise a verv able and eloquent effort. In beginning, he paid a fine tribute to the ability, eloquence and persuasive powers of Mr. Hinck ley. in this case, l:e said, ho was nut afraid of the evidence, but lie admitt ed he was "afraid of Judge Hinck lev." He dwelt upon the distinctions to be made in the killing of a human being and he said we have advanced beyond the old Mosaic principle of an eye for an eye,a tooth for a tooth. He defined murder as when a man in the blackness of his heart, with malice aforethought and with a set determi nation lies in wait for a human being to take his life and denied that any of the elements are present in Diet rich's case He held that there was no murder in any ot its degrees nor even manslaughter in the case on trial. He held that Dietrich was on the verge of delirium tremens and re\ iewed the evidence dwelling iq hi~ excited state to show that he was wholly irra tional both when he did the shooting and when he made the admissions in jail. Mr. Ikeler held that if Dietrich is guilty at all lie is guilty only ol in voluntary manslaughter, which in his case would imply a careless and reck less use of a weapon. He denounced the indictment, which prennts only murder in ono of its degrees or volun tary manslaughter. Many in the audi ence were moved to tears while Mr. Ikeler with the wonderful cloqueuci at his command drew a graphic and pathetic picture to show how the pri soner has suffered in hi- varied experi euces s incest he tragedy, and that hi has already been punished sulliciently for the slight in'whichjie may be ikeler spoke for ai hour and a halt. "Judge Evans immediately followei with iiis charge to the Jury. 11.' ex plained the law applicable to the cast very fully and his charge was ven favorably commented on. Judge Kvan defined murder in the first degree,mur der in the second degree and voluntan manslaughter. To constitute murdei in the first degree the killing must b« with maliee, which means any attempt to kill or do any great bodily harm. I must be shown that the attempt ti take life was wilful and deliberate following previously formed intent In second degree murder felonious hom cide is committed, but without a 113 deliberate attempt to take life. Man slaughter is a still lesser degree when there is unlawful and felonious kill ing of another without malice express ed or implied. Should the* jury be ii doubt whether the defendant is guilt] of murder in the first or the seconc degree lie is to have the benefit of tha doubt and the verdict must be the low er of the two degrees. Intoxication is 110 excuse formurdc in the first degree. Intoxication, how ever, mav becloud the mind, preclud ing malice and design, bringing tie crime in some cases down to secom degree murder. When a person, how ever,becomes intoxicated tor the pur pose of committing murder and tin killing of another follows it is murdc in the lirst degree. If the jury believe that the defendant was intoxicate! when he killed Joii"s it i> lor them ti determine whether he was intoxicate! to the extent that he could not form 1 design or plan deliberately to eoinmi the act. If he was not so deeply in toxicated, then his intoxication mus go for naught. If the jury believes that Jones cairn to his death through the aecideiita discharge of a pistol in the hands o Dietrich it is then its duty to acijui him. To show whether the shootini was accidental or not the burden 0 proof must rest with the defendant The jury, therefore, may arrive a one of four verdicts: murder in tin lirst degree, murder in the -..wild d> gree,voluntary manslaughter and "no guilty." At t:;{() o'clock the case was givei to'the jury. There were no other Commonweal! Cases for trial. At the last moment 1 was decided to continue the two civ i nits on the list, which h-lt the coui without any further business oxcep what relates to the Dietrich homieid case. The grand jurors were di-eharg ed during yesterday afternoon Las evening the travers jurors,except thos sitting on the Dietrich case, were <li charged and court adjourned. tVN ORDINANCE. authorizing, requiring and pro viding for the grading, paving and macadamizing of that por tion of Mill street in the Bor ough of Danville, Montour Comity, Pennsylvania, from the northern building line of Centre street to a point where the township of Mahoning forms the northern boundary line of the said Borough, and further authorizing and empowering the said Borough to contract with the said State for such purpose, also requiring the owners of property fronting on such portion of suchs treet to change the footwalks and to set the curbs thereof so as to conform thereto and prescrib ing the penalty for such own er's failure or refusal so to do, and for other purposes in the premises.

ARRAIGNED FOR LARCENY OF SCRAP Frauk Lynn, Joseph Reed, diaries Ashton ami William McCaiiu, who pleaded guilty to the larceuy of iron, were arraigned before court yesterday, nit in 11 io case of each sentence was suspended. Joseph Faliey, a detective ot llie 1). L.it W. railroad company, who caus ed tlie arrest of the men. was present md explained to the court all the eir •uinstauef's of the case. '>n the night )f June JJrd. last, he said, the defen lants entered a car of the 1). L. & W. company on a siding here and relieved it of a large quantity of scrap con signed to Curry & company. The men lie said had pleaded guilty and the joods had been recovered. Some of the men had large families, while others previously bore good rep utations, in view of which it had been prearranged to ask that sentence lie suspended. The district attorney offered no objection to this but stated that lie believed that the ends of jus tice would be fully subserved by sus pending sentence. Judge Evans told the men that lie could send each of them to the pen itentiary for three years, but that he had decided to act upon suggestion and suspend sentence. He reminded each, however, that the matter was not set tled finally, but if either of them should be guilty of misconduct the district attorney could bring him into court on a bench warrant, when the penalty for the present offense would be imposed on them.

It was boldly charged in the stand- ' erous and libelous article that I>r.

Pierce promptly brought suit against the publishers of the Ladies' j Home Journal, for $200,000,00 damages.

PESTEBMNCfK PUIPKIN PlfS There is grave danger to the pump kin pies of Pennsylvania and indica tions are not wanting that there will be damage done to the crop wl.ich fur nishes so essential a pari ot Thanksgiv ing clay dinner. It is due to the pres ence of a southern-born parasite which is boring into pnnikins and eating their seeds. This discovery was made a few days ago by State Economic Zoologist Stir face at New Cumberland, lie found that the pumpkin borer had gotten in to a number of fields and at once took steps to check its ravages ami to kill it. Speaking of the matter, Prof. Surface said: "This pumpkin hirer is another of the Southern in. eets which are gradually working their way North and which unless checked will do great damage to our crops. 1 have not ed from time to time the advance of some of these Southern insects, this one, having worked its way up to Maryland which has heretofore been its Northern limit. "This insect is a first cousin to the harlequin cabbage hug, formerly a na tive of the South and a terror to cab bage, turnips, squash and the like. It is working into this State, too. Other insects which we must check before they get a foothold in our State are the cotton ball worm or as it is also known, the corn ear worm. These are noted in this State for the first time. I have not the slightest doubt now but that the tobacco worm which was re- I ported eating tobacco seed pods at Kinzer's, Lancaster county, is anoth er Southern pest. We traced that to bacco fiend from its larvae stage, in which we received it at our labora tory, to the moth and it is another in dication of the migration to Pennsyl vania. "These insects wiuter underground and the remedies are either to pick off the seed capsules, where they live and feed, then burning them or to cultiv ate the ground late ill the fall or early spring. The insects in the in which they winter will then be expos ed to freezing and will quickly die. It's a good thing to pick them otl where they are seen and to destroy plants which they have attacked to any extent." To Ask Aid From (ioveruor. A number of the more prominent foreigners anil residents at West Ber wick are determined to have the law lessness and murderous reign in that section at least mitigated, and now demand that lights he put up at all street crossings, and that there be em ployed additional police ofticers who will not be afraid to deal with the lawless and and murderous element. They assert that if their demands are not. immediately complied with, they will take the matter to the governor of the State, and ask him to institute military goverment in place of the civil goverinent now existing in tin borough of West Berwick. In view id past records, prompt action, they sa\ is necessary to prevent the probabh further spilling of human blood. There is no development in the niur der of Dominick C'aluso.
