THINGS CHANGED ~~
AT JARRISBURG
With the induction into office this
week of Robert K. Young, of Tioga,
as auditor general, aud Henry Houck,
of Lebanon, as secretary of internal
affairs, the transformation ou capitol
hill is complete, and, with the excep
tion of Robert McAfee, of Allegheny,
and Insurance Commissioner David
Martin, of Philadelphia, none of the
consptcuous figures in the political
arena of recent years will remain.
It used to be that all the prominent
State offices were regularly filled by
men who took the lead in the manage
ment of the Republican organization,
aud at least were actively engaged in
party work aud kuowu to the people
chiefly as politicians. Today the gov
ernor is not a politician, in the ordin
ary acceptance of the term ; the State
treasurer is a Democrat who was never
heard of iu State politics until nomin
ated for the office; the incoming aud
itor general has participated in public
affairs only as an "insurgent" mem
ber of the legislature, and the new
secretary of internal affairs has been
deputy superintendent of public in
struction,far from the whirl of politi
cal strife, for nigh forty years.
Other instances are equally striking.
Samuel B. Rambo, recently appointed
superintendent of public grounds aud
buildings, never did anything in poli
tics but vote He svas put into the
place because, as superintendent of
construction for George F. Payne &
Co., the capitol contractors, lie was
thoroughly familiar with the physical
conditions of the building and capable
of giving the State the full benefit of
his practical knowledge of the con
struction and care of a great property
sucii as this. James Foust, whom Gov
ernor Stuart has placed at the head of
the dairy aud food division of the de
partment of agriculture, never held
office except coroner of Blair county
and chief of police of Aitoona until
appointed a food inspector in the de
partment of which he is new the ex
ecutive director. Thomas A. Crichton,
who is to he deputy auditor general,
is a young lawyer of Tioga county, of
practically no experience in the politi
cal game, .lames H. Craig,of Aitoona,
who is to be deputy secretary of in
ternal affairs, is a lawyer, banker and
newspaper »ditor
The Capitot Investigation.
It was quite obvious some time ago
that the commission appointed to in
vestigate the cl arges of fraud in con
nection with the construction and fur
nishiuc of the Statef apitol would not
be able to conclude its labors in time
to makf a repcrt a. t' e present ses
sion. Tuesday the committee sent
to the legislature a brief report, eer
tifving that the investigation cannot
be completed by May 1;', and asking
for au extension of time and for per
mission to report to G-overaor Stuart.
It was so voted.
• The commission has succeeded iu d
V6lc] iug soiize astounding facts Aud
its members declare that much nior..
.s to follow, Jt has been shown that
•untrac.ts for the furnishing and deco
ration of tht- building were apparently
awarded ar. tlx result -if extraordinary
partiality or collusion between State
officials and favored < ontraetors. It
has been shown taat much of the ma
terial is not that called foi in the
specifications and that many thiugs
for which the contractors were paid
liberally sever reached tlw building.
It has also been shown that the profits
were . norir.ous.
Although tl.e investigation is far
from finished the people of the State
*re entiraly convinced that the 7 have
been viofiixiiaed. Whether the action
of the building and grounds commis
sion iu accepting the furnishings at
the valuations put upon them by the
contractor, whether the action oft! e
governor aud the auditor general in
certifying that value had been receiv
ed will exonerate the rascblly contract
ors from legal responsibility, remains
to be determined. But the fact of
their guilt lias been established in the
eyes of their victims and none of them
will ever recover popular fa.vor.
Let the commission proceed. Let it
um-artii aud expose overv particle of
crookedness or faithlessness or indiff
erence or blindness which can be
found And then, let us hope, the
robbers will come face to face with
the day of judgment
"Toodles" Tonight.
The Y M C, A. tonight will give
the second of the season's entertain
ments iu Association hall. The first,
"The County Fair" it will be remem
bered, proved a decided hit and as
much if not more is promised in the
rural comedy drama tonight, "Tood
les".
The cast, without exception, has
taken parr in amateur theatricals be
fore, and the enthusiasm with which
they have entered iuto this one,speaks
well for its success. Special scenery
has beeu procured for the occasion and
this together with the realistic char
acter portrayals of rural life given by
the cast, assures a delightful even
ing's entertainment. The proceeds
will goto the Y. M. C. A., and a large
audience is anticipated.
Providence is not always respons
ible for the calamities which overtake

SNUG SURPLUS
IN TREASURY
i
1 Uncle Sam will finish thefhoal year
'ou June 30th with a very sung surplus.
| At this time in 1906 the federal treas
ury contained a surplus of only $5,-
000,000, bnt now it is $5(1,000,000,
which amount will be increased dur
ing the next two months to about $70,-
000,000.
This shows a wholesome state of
things, for, as General Grant onoe
pointed out.it is much easier to finance
a national surplus than a deficit. While
it must be gratifying to those in con
trol of the government that the year
will close with such a creditable show
ing, it is equally pleasing for the i»O,-
000,000 of citizens to know that their
trade with the rest of the world ip
growing at a handsome rate. In the
first three quarters of the current fiscal
year the exports amounted to $1,432,-
000,000, a gain of $107,000,000 over the
like period of 1906. During the same
nine mouths imports rose $152,000,000,
reaching the sum of $1,065,000,000.
This expansion of 8 per cent, in ex
ports and 6 per cent, in imports means
that for the full year the nation's for
eign commerce will greatly exceed the
three billion dollar mark which it
touched for the first time in 15106.
There is no basis for the assertion that
the last congress appropriated more
money than the government's resources
will amount to this year. In the sums
so appropriated was a single item of
$212,000,000 for post offices nearly ev
ery dollar of which will, of course,go
back into the treasury.
LUTHERAN SYNOD

Rev. L. W. Walter and Frank G.

session of the Lutheran Synod, which
opened at that place last evening. The
Synod will continue iu session five
days, adjourning Sunday evening. The

Before Justice Daitcn.
Tlie office of Justice of the Peace
Dalton last evening was the scene of
an interesting hearing. Both complain
ant and defendant were foreigners and
the hearing was the usual characteris
tic affair, in which abounded extravag
ant gesticulations and an endless chat
ter iu an unknown tongne, which even
the services of an interpreter failed to
make clear.
The charge was assault and battery
and the complainant was very sure lie
was badly injured. The justice asked
him where the defeadaut struck him.
The question on being repeated sever
al times brought forth the reply that
he didn't know where. Still he was
(very sure that lie was badly injured
aud groaned with paiu.
The interpreter got real busj- while
the justice made a determined effort
to get at the bottom of the affair and
finally the fact was established that no
blows were struck at all. The defend
ant, however, had used very abusive
language and had gone so far as to
wish that, the complainant was dead.
This savored so much of violence Jl;at
in effect it was regarded as an assault
by the foreigners aud a warrant was
sworn oat.
Finally the interpreter announced
that the two men were willing to set
tle, each paying half the costs A set
tlement under the circumstances was
the logical sequence and the justice
acquiesced. The foreigners seemed per
fectly satisfied with the outcome, as
each had made the other deliver ever
seme of his hard-earned cash.
White Hall Man Hurt.
John B. Dewald, the well-known
Whit--* Hall merchant, was badly in
jured yesterday morning at Blooms
burg is a runaway accident.
The runaway occurred on Centre
street about 10:30 o'clock when the
holdback of the harness of John Mc-
Cormiok'e borse broke,and the animal
taking fright started on a mad gallop
down the sfci?eet, Mr. McCormick be
ing unable to hold it back. In front of
the residence of Mrs. J. E. Norman
the wagon to which the horse was
harnessed, craslied into the buggy of
J. B. Dewald, and Mr. Dewald was
thrown out against a tree and was ren
dered unconscious.
The injured man was carried into
the house of A. M. Derr and Dr.
Champlin summoned, who found he
was suffering from a bad gash in the
back of his head and was also bruised
about the shoulders. He regained con
sciousness in a short time and after
his injuries were dressed was able to
leave for his home yesterday after
noon.
New York state is about passing an
act forbidding the admission of child
ren under 16 years of age to tha cheap
shows which abound in that and other
I states.
TWO HOURS I
THE LOCK UP
G. H. Lewis, of Mahoning township,
drove into town with a team of horses
yesterday afternoon He got into au
altercation with a man ou Mill street
aud started off to have him arrested
for assault and battery. He went about
the thing so awkwardly,however, that
iustead of accomplishing his purpose
he fell iuto the toils of the law him
self,spent some two hours in the lock
up and was mulcted in fine and costs
to the amount of seven dollars
About five o'clock last evening just,
as Chief Mincemoyer had entered his
apartments iu City hall for supper,
Lewis, arrayed in blue blouse and ov
eralls, appeared at the door and de
manded that the chief immediately
proceed down the street and arrest the
man, whom he designated.
The chief-of-police informed him
that, under such circumstances, he
would have to procure a warrant be
fore an arrest could be made and the
officer descrioed the location of each
of the Justices' offices. Lewis went
down stairs but instead of proceeding
to the justice he entered upon a loud
and merciless tirade against the chief
of-police, in which there was plenty
of obscenity aud profanity. Chief
Mincemoyer heard the noise from city
hall and hurrying down found Lewis
on the east side of the street.
Iu his indignation the man flung his
money tlown upon the pavement (but
picked it up again); then, with the
lofty air of a tragedian, lie flung his
toil-stained liaudcherchief upon the
sidewalk and in language that was
anything but choice and modest de
clared, in effect, that he could van
quish the chief of police of Danville
At this juncture he spied the chief
and picking up his handkerchief gal
lantly dashed iuto a confectionery
store near by for refuge. The chief
followed him iuto the store, anil a des
perate struggle ensued, iu which the
officer succeeded iu placing the nip
pers on Lewis.
The latter, still resisting more or
lauded in the lock-up,whence,
at 1:30. he was taken to the office of
Justice Oglesby, where lie was arraign
ed for "acting in a iond, disorderly
and indeceut manner."
He protested agaiust the arrest and
said he couldn't see auy use in paying
a princely salary to a chief-of-police
who would refuse to make au arrest
when lie was told to do so. The swear
ing out of a warrant was a piece of
formality that lie chose to regard as
uinnißorfHiit and he waved it aside.
'L'he justice acquainted him with
the penalty, a tine of five dollars for
the borough and two dollars cost ad
ditional. Lewis demurred at first, but
when he learned that it was either fine
and costs or five davs in the lockup
ho h inded over the coin.
HORSE STRICKEN
WITH PARALYSfS
Most people will regard it as very
odd to hear of a horse being stricken
with paralysis. Yet this is what oc
curred iu Ynlley township yesterday,
the stricken animal belonging to
Charles Kleemau of Strawberry Ridge.
The horse,which was valued at over
4900, was being driven alofig near Mov
er's hotel, when without any warning
lie dropped iu the road. Every effort
was made to get the horse to rise with
mii avail. In response to a call Veter
inarian J. O. Reed of this city drove
out to the spot where the horse lay.
He soou discovered that tht animal
had sustained to a stroke.
At the veterinarian's suggestion a
low sled,made of planks, was improvis
ed aud on this the helpless animal was
placed and drawn into the barn con
nected with the hotel, where he will
be treated.
Paralysis in a horse is not to b* om
pared with the same affliction iu a
human being, as its origin generally
lies iu other causes. In most cases the
paralysis is superinduced by some ex
cess or irregularity of eating. In many
oases a complete recovery is effected,
although in the case of Mr. Kleemau's
horse the paralysis is very serious and
the outlook is not favorable.
Hard Digging,
Work on the eewer extension of the
fourth ward is progressing nicely, al
though some of the deepest and the
hardest digging is encountered that
has been fouucl in the borough outside
the deep cut between Mahoning creek
and the river.
The sewer was carried up Bloom
street last week. At present the pipe
is being laid on Vine street. The
grade on the latter street gradually
rises, reaching its highest point some
two hundred yards north of Bloom
street, beyond which point it begins
to descend until it reaches its lowest
point about midway between Bloom
and Centre streets. At the lowest
point the sewer lies five feet below
the surface to conform with the cellar
levels. At the highest point the depth
of trench required is some thirteen
feet.
The amount of earth to be displaced
would in itself made the proposition
a pretty heavy one, but when it is ex
plained that the trench has to be cut
through a bed of shelly rook, the real
magnitude of the work becomes appar
ent. Superintendent Keefer, with a
full force of men ranging from sixteen
to twenty, is working at present on
the deepest part of the sewer. At
places the rock crops out on the sur
face and in digging down to the re
quired depth the men have to cut
their way slowly through the deposit
of rock. Owing to the presence of
rock cribbing is unnecessary, so that
the extra cost entailed by difficult dig
ging is counterbalanced in part by
what is saved in the item of lumber
and the expense of putting in the crib
bing.

CAPITOL PROBERS
WILL GO SOUTH
HARRISBURG, May 5. J
A sub-committee of the new capitol
investigation commission, composed
of senator Dewalt, Representatives ]
Alll merman and Shields,with Attorney
James Scarlet, will goto Norfolk.Va
probably the first of next week to take
the testimouy of Percy H. Wilson, of
the Wilson Manufacturing company,
which firm had the contract lor tlie
parquetry flooring of the new capitol.
Russell H. Hamilton, as agent nt
Washington for the Wilson firm, got
next to this contract and had a confer
ence with Huston and Sanderson in
Philadelphia, and then introduce I
Wilson to them. They made an agree
ment bv which the Wilson flooriug
was to be specified iu t lie schedule,and
Wilsou was to pet the contract. Wil
son is the man who carried on all the
negotiations with Hnston and Sander
son after being introduced by Hamil
ton.
This was long before the general
contract was awarded to Sanderson.
The Wilson people got the sub-con
tract all right,and started into do the
work. They had hardly gotten fairly
started before efforts were made to dis
courage them, and they were hamper
ed and interfered with in every way
possible by Huston and Sanderson.
They had put down the flooring in the
rooms when they were so outrageous
ly interfered with that they were com
polled to stop the work.
The Wilsou people tlieu retained a
Harrishurg attorney, and through him
a compromise was effected by whioh
81m ierson puid the Wilson firm sls 000
to give up the contract.
The Wilson contract was at the price
of forty-one cents per square foot of
flooring, but wheu Sanderson took the
work over he charged and was paid
sl.27Jj peT square foot.
Wilson 'ias told the committee he i<
willing tn expose tiie whole business,
but rvHiid not get away from Norfolk,
on account of a big contract,so it was
decided to send a sub-committee down
and hear him.
MADNESS OR DEATH.
The Inevitable Fate That Awaits the
Absinth Tippler,
What is absinth? It is prepared by
pounding the leaves anil floweriug tops
of various species of wormwood, star
anise root, sweetflag root, leaves of
dittany and other aromatic plants, and
steeping them in alcohol. After eight
or ten days the mixture is distilled,
and oil of aniseed or some similar es
sential oil is added. This is the method
of producing the genuine absinth, but
it varies usually In the direction of
cheapening production and Increasing
jirofits. Poisonous wood alcohol is
used for macerating the vegetable in
gredients, and inferior and often in
jurious herbs are employed. These do
not always produce the much desired
greenish opalescence, and turmeric, in
digo, sulphate of copper and other col
oring matters are employed. The con
sequences of regularly drinking even
carefully prepared absinth are in tbe
end ruinous to mind and body. The
main difference between the various
qualities of the liquor is the rapidity
with which deleterious effects are pro
duced. A man can goon drinking the
better qualities a little longer before
he becomes a mental ant' physical
wreck: that is all And, whether one
drinks to excess or only takes a reg
ular dally dose, the end is tho same.
The sequence of events and their du
ration only are different. In the first
case the large doses of the liquor nec
essary to produce any effect speedily
render the victim unable to est food.
He is tortured by an unquenchable
thirst. Hallucinations speedily follow,
and the gi ive or the madhouse Is the
inevitable end. The absinth tippler
goes to ruin down an easier slope. His
earliest symptoms are loss of weight
and strength, followed by the develop
ment of muscular twltchlngs and a
tottering gait, somewhat similar to
that of locomotor ataxia. Tbeu hallu
cinations set in, accompanied by grad
ually spreading paralysis, which ends
In death. If a person is a regular dally
drinker of absinth, whether he drinks
to excess or only tipples moderately,
ruin of the nervous system, followed
by madness or death, is übsolutely cer
tain.— Exchange.

Learning Japanese.
Tbe Japanese language is not difficult
to learn, but for a foreigner It needs
Immense application before he can
yead a single sentence in the Chino-
Japanese hieroglyphics. It Is a curious
fact, however, that the complexity of
the system makes no difference in ed
ucation, for It seems proved that,
though the apparatus required for read
ing Japanese is two syllabaries and
mere than 2JOOO characters, many of
which have more than one sound, yet a
Japanese child learns to read as quick
ly as a European child does.—London

A RHETORICAL TRIUMPH.
Bheridan'e Speech In Connection With
the Hastings Trial.
Answering 11 correspondent who ask
ed about the speech of Sheridan in con
nection with the Warren Hastings
trial, the London News says:
"That immense oratorical triumph
was certainly not reported in the notes
in question, for the Oude speech was
not delivered during the trial. Sheri
dan pronounced it in the house of com
mons lu the year before the trial in
moving that the Oude charge should
be one of the articles of the impeach
ment.
"No speech recorded in our history
ever had such a reception. The entire
house and all in the galleries violated
the traditions of parliament and set a
precedent that remains unfoliowed by
clapping furiously and continuously.
Pitt, fully conscious of the extraor
dinary state of excitement disclosed by
this breach of decorum, moved the ad
journment on the unparalleled ground
that 'the minds of members were too
agitated to discuss the question with
coolness and judicially.' Sheridan had
spoken for five hours and forty min
utes. No full report of the speech
exists. The best appeared in the Lon
don Chronicle for Feb. S, 1787.
"The fame of the speech was such
that when the trial came on £SO was
gladly paid for a scat iu the hall on
the day of Sheridan's speech as a
manager of the imi>eaohnicnt. Macau
lay's account of that speech, which is
both misleading and inaccurate In sev
eral respects, at least permits us to
know the fact that the speaker was
publicly embraced by Burke on resum
ing his seat. At a later stage in the
trial—six years later, in fact—Sheridan
delivered another speech which was
described by one of the auditors as an
extraordinary rhetorical triumph."
Reason to Be Grateful.
There Is a good side to everything.
Vor instance, when yon are troubled
by a bad boy of yours you have reason
to be grateful that he wasn't twins. —
