ELECTROCUTED .
BY LIVE WIRE
Touching liia head against electrical
machinery charged with alternating
current nt 16000 volts, Charles Fen
ton, of Sunbury, au employe of the
Suubnry and Solinsgrove Electrio
Street Hail way Company, was instant
ly killed at the power house at Hum
mel's Wharf Tnesday night.
He had been working there all duy
with F. W. Parkinson.the engineer in
chargo of all the electrical work of
the company on the machinery lately
installed for the running of the trolley
lino. The current is obtained from the
Middle Creek Company. At a tension
of 16000 volts it passes into a rotary
transformer, which changes it from
alternating to direct current, and re
duces it to about 500 volts. At about 8
o'clock Fenton, while eugaged in his
work, backed against the transformer,
touching it with his head back of the
ear. Tho full high tension current was
grounded through his body and he died
instantly. It is probablo that he never
knew what had happened.
The remains were taken to Sunbury
yesterday',"where interment will be
made on Saturday afternoon.
Tho deceased was the son of William
Fenton, who resides at the corner of
Walnut and Front streets, Sunbury.
He was aged 24 years and is survived
by a wife and three ohildren. He was
a member of the Americus Hose Com
pany, and the tolling of the bell after
his death spread the sad news among
his manyjfriends in the third ward.
Before entering the service of the new
trolley line he was employed by the
S. and N. Company,and while in their
employ met with an accident, falling
from a pole and breaking his arm.
Since the building of the new road he
has been operating the construction
car. He recently moved from Sunbury
with his family to Hummel's Wharf.
THE DUST IN THE AIR.
Without It tho Heat of the Sun Would
Be Unbearable.
The usefulness of dust is proclaimed
by science desplto all the housewives
of all the ages. Dust is part of the ma
chinery that produces cloud and rain.
It Is also a protection from the sun.
Without It the sun's rays would be un
bearable. Tho reason that sunburn la
more easily acquired on the mountains
than In the lowlands is said to lie prob
ably because of the comparatively
dustless air of the mountainous re
gions.
A dustless atmosphere during rain
would mean a much greater degreo of
discomfort than rain ever brings.
Trees and buildings would bo dripping
with moisture, our clothing and tho
exposed parts of our l>odies would be
constantly wet, umbrellas would be
classed as useless curios, and Instead
of trying to conquer tho dust In tho
house we should have to face a much
greater enemy In wet floors and drip
plug walls. In every drop of rain and
In every particlo of cloud there is a
particle of dust. A sainplo of air may
be taken anywhere and the number of
Its dust particles accurately determin
ed. Dust, too, produces the glorious
sunset effects In the evening sky, thus
causing the faint obscurity we call
twilight.
Twilight Is always a reflected glory.
Tho light comes from the sun, which
has in the meanwhile sunk below
tho horizon. The reflector is an upper
layer of dust Were the air perfectly
dustless there would be no twilight.
Darkness would immediately follow
the sunset.—Exchange.
India's Filmy Muslin.
A story is told of a weaver who
was "chastised and turned out of Dac
ca for his neglect in not preventing a
cow from eating a piece of muslin
spread to dry on the grass, stw mis
taking it for a spider's web." Bolts
records the story about a Mogul
princess whose father was "angry with
his daughter for showing her skin j
through her clothes, whereupon the j
young princess remonstrated In her:
justification that she had seven suits j
on!" —Indian World.
THE PLAY ITSELF WAS GOOD.
That Much, at Least, the Actor-Critic j
Had to Admit.
John Hare, the English actor, once |
went to se;> one of Beerbohm Tree's
Infrequent performances of Ilauilet.
lie would willingly have avoided Tree
for some little time afterward for rea
sons obvious to others who, like him,
had seen this least impressive of this
actor's roles.
Hare chivalrously remained in his
box to tho end of tho play. As the
curtain descended on each act ho had
dreaded the invitation of his fellow
player to his dressing room, where tho
usual courtesies would have been ex
pected.
Act by act slipped by without any
word from the stage, and Hare grew
proportionately relieved. As the last
curtain fell, however, and Hare retired
from the box ho found a messenger at
tho door with "Mr. Tree's compliments,
and wouldn't ho come home for a bite
of supper with some friends?"
At tuble Hare parried opening after
opening, yet not once did Tree refer
directly to his Hamlet. Hare on his
part dreaded every break in the con
versation would bring tho dreaded top
ic. After ft decent time ho drew away
from table togo home. Tree accom
panied him to the hall to put on his
coat. "Now's my hour," thought Hare.
Not one word from Tree. They shook
hands on the threshold, and Hare start
ed down the steps In happy relief.
Tree followed him to his carriage.
Hare heard him In dread. Still the
topic was avoided. Tree, with cordial
courtesy, opened the door. Ilaro slip
ped Into the cushions of the carriage,
Joyfully heard the door slam and drew
& deep sigh.
But before tho horses started Tree's
head was in at the window, and be
Bald, with blighting suavity:
"At least, John, you'll admit it's B
lood play."
THE OLD SOLDIERS
AREDYING OUT
WASHINGTON, March 18.
More pensioners died during the past
year than (ought on either side at the
famous battle of Shiloh in 1862. This
was the statement made in the house
today when the $150,000,000 general
pension bill was up for passage. It
was shown that 45,768 names had been
stricken from the nation's roll by
death. Of this number 81,201 were
Civil war veterans. It was predicted
that iu nine years Civil war veterans
will be as scarco as are Mexican war
veterans today.
Tlie McCumber act, which puts the
soldiers on the pension roll, according
to age, without examination increased
the annual pension roll over $15,000,-
000. In 1905 there were 1,004,000 pen
sioners, the highest number ever
known but the next year this dwindled
to 985,000 and notwithstanding the in
crease during the last year on account
of the McCumber bill the number
went down to 967,371. This number is
now tiie smallest since 1893.

Undertaker John Doster, who had
charge of the obsequies of the lato Fa
ther O'Reilly, and who accompanied
the body as far as Montrose, returned
to Dauville on the 12 :51 train Satur
day.
At Montrose Mr. Doster delivered
ttio body over into the hands of Hart
& O'Brian, undertakers of that place.
Between Montrose and St. Joseph lies
a drive of nine miles. Of the 185 peo
ple who accompanied the body from
Dauville only twenty-five remained to
complete the last stage of the journey
beyond Montrose. A number of the
people forming the funeral party went
no further than Plymouth ; others pro
ceeded as far as Scranton, all return
ing to Dauville ou the next train.
The body did not reach its destina
tion until midnight. It was 9:30
o'clock when the funeral paity left j
Montrose. A deep snow had fallen in
that part of the State and large num
bers of men had been employed during
the dayjin shoveling tiie roads open.
From Montrose to St. Joseph, which j
is only a farming hamlet, the funeral!
cortege consisted of ten sleighs.
About the time the train arrived at
Montrose it began to rain and the deep ,
suow was quickly transformed into a
bed of slush a foot deep. It was in
such weather that the drive of nine
miles had to be made.

FOUND BARD COAL
IU POITEH COUNT!
The people of Hebron township, in
Potter couuty, are not a little excited
over the disoovery there of a vein of
anthracite coal. Of this important find
the Coudersport Enterprise of yester
day says:
Auditor John Schollard, of Hebron,
brings the good news that a good sized
vein of anthracite coal was struck on
the farm of Mrs. F. M. Terwilliger
last Saturday. The Cuinmiugs Oil
and Gas company were drilling for oil
and gas when they ran into the coal
when about fifty feet dowu from the
top of the hill, which brings it about
five foet above South Branch creek, as
their derrick is about seventy-five feet
above the creek level. From what they
could tell by the casings whore they
were palied out there is a streak about
ten or twelve fe'et thick. If this is true
it is a rich fiud and if it has any con
siderable length will pay to mine.
The new addition to the riches of the
Hebron field has caused more excite
uieut lu the neighborhood."
THE TALL SOLDIER.
Adventure of an English Military Offi
cer In Warsaw.
i In "Tales of My Father" Mr. Falls
tells of an adventure experienced by
him while visiting a friend in Warsaw,
lie had been walking with the prince
and had stepped into a small cafe.
At the next table sat a tall Russian
j soldier with one or two companions,
i The soldier took out a box of domlnos
and challenged one of his friends to
a game.
| Tho prince said to my father:
j "Go ask him to play with you. I
know him, and he is an Interesting man
to talk to."
j My father crossed over to tho table
| with the prince, who said something
(In Polish. The soldier immediately In
vited my father to sit down and play,
i At the end of a game tho soldier re-
I marked:
I "My regiment is quartered at St. Pe
j tersburg. If you ever go there call at
j the barracks and ask for Sergeant R."
| "If you over goto London call at the
j life guards barracks and ask for Cap
j taJn II.," returned my father,
j The Russian rose, saying It was not
! for him to sit In the presence of his
1 superior officer, saluted and left the
j cafe.
"Whoever your friend Is, ho Is a tall
J man," remarked my father,
j "My friend with whom you have
I been talking and playing domlnos Is
I the great czar—the Emperor Nicholas,
iHe has been here for a week. It Is
j his habit togo about disguised and to
I mix among the people. Those who
j know him would uot lift a finger to
harm him. lie trusts himself tons
and carries his life in his hand. He
is safer In these cafes than In tho
gilded halls of the White palaco at St.
Petersburg."
The next day my father saw the em
peror leave Warsaw, followed by tho
muttered curses of the peoplo. With a
wonderful remembrance of faces, ho
recognized my father In the crowd and
j bowed to him courteously.
War Stops at a Tollgate.
| In Sir Ilenry Drummond Wolff's
"Random Recollections" there Is a
quaint tale of the Belgian revolution,
when fighting was going on In the
park at Brussels. The Belgians found
themselves short of powder, aud or
ders were" given for #upplies, which
took an unconscionable time In ap
pearing. "At length some of the lead
ing men determined ou going round
themselves with a party In case an at
tnck had l>eeu made by the Dutch. On
their arrival, however, they found the
convoy delayed by one man with a
white nightcap and tho two words 'La
barriere.' Thus 280 men were stop
ping each to pay his 2 sous toll before
proceeding to engage."
Mexican Rapid Transit.
The queerest mode of travel I saw
In all Mexico was that adopted by a
woman who was on her way to tho
doctor, seated complacently in a chair
borne ou the back of a man. Some
Mexican women are afraid even of the
mule cars, while they look upon the
rapidly spinning trolley with such
trembling of knees they cannot be per
suaded to put foot upon It. Unable to
pay coach hire, they employ the human
carrier at a few cents for each trip.—

Peace and History.
Parents and schoolteachers will be
Interested in a new theory called the
"Peace Teaching of nistory" expound
ed by J. N. Larued In the January At
lantic. Mr. Larned's Idea Is that the
crime of war rather than Its glory
should lie emphasized. As soon as we
abstract tho allurements of drums and
tramplings from the history books and
j remember the
Broken old mother* and tho whole
Dark butchery without a soul
we are so much nearer peace In Its uni
versal and highest sense. "The staple
of history has always been war." Must
, It always be so?

would be removed to a vacant store
room on Mill street, from which point
they might be distributed as needed.
The response by the pupils far ex
ceeded expectations. Tiie store of
goods accumulated through the pupils'
generosity will go a great way to
ward tiding people over the period of
depression, until a general revival of
business, which isjnow in sight,brings
employment for all. Mora than this
the unexpected result shows that the
true spirit of benevolence is inherent
in the American heart and that even
the children are taught to feel for oth
ers. It is due benefact
ors, therefore, that they be fully in.

I The pupils brought their contribu
| tions to their respective'! school build-
I ings Friday afternoon. In each of
the wards a big collection of goods
rapidly accumulated. It was not until
the articles were hauled to the vacant
store room in the Sweisfort building,
Mill street, and placed in one pile,
howover, that the full',value and sign
ificance of the;pupils','effort was man
ifest,
The combined contributions at each
school building was no less than a
wagon load in themselves. By the
time all the articles contributed were
deposited in the vacant room enough
goods were on hand to stock up a small
store. Nor were the goods lacking in
variety. Potatoes were contributed in
largest quantity andjprobably amount
ed to 25 bushels. The most;;of them
came in paper sacks, but they were
also contributed in large bagfuls of a
bushel or more. Next came cabbag l "
probably a hundred weight in all.
There were also apples,Jonions, beans,
dried corn, cornmeal, etc., in propor
| tion. Canned goods, breakfast foods
and the like were contributed by the
wholesale. In the line of groceries
nothing was omitted and the sugar.
1 and coffee donated would in itself form
j a small wagon load. There were also
j eggs, bread and butter, although in
j smaller qauntities. Among the articles
| donated were many cakes of soap, also
shoes, and quantities of second hand
clothing. It is safe to say that every
article that goes to make up a grocery
store was represented.
The high school contributed J2.'i.50
in cash, besides four 25-pound sacks of
j flour.
In addition $2(5.70 as a contribution
from the public were received at the
room where the articles were being re
ceived, along with another contribu
tion of $25 from Mr. T. J. Price.
The goods were received by Miss
; Penina Bright, Mrs. J. E. Guy, Mrs.
! Amos Vastine, Mrs. Lizzie Fisher,
I Miss Musselman, Miss Pickard, Mrs.
iS. F. Ricketts, Mrs. W. L. McClure,
J Mrs. Roderick and other charitably
j inclined women, who classified the
articles, as they arrived,arranging the
canned goods on the shelves and the
I coffee, sugar, etc., in their proper re
ceptacles. By the time they were
; through with their work the room
! presented tho appearance of a credit
able looking store.
A card lay in the window, which
explained that none of the goods will
!be given out except through Mrs. S.
| Y. Thompson, the president of the
Woman's Benevolent society. The so
| ciety has means of finding out the true
; circumstances of people and it is safe
j to say that no parties will receive help
; who are unworthy of it.
