Oa Tuesday aft eruouu they made their iuitial cruise duwu the stream and returned with a nice fittload of coal. Yesterday they made a second trip down the river and found enough coal to repay tlieui for tiie effort The proprietors of the oth er four dredges are working overtime to get their craft into proper shape for a season's work. Without exception the proprietors expect to get their dredges into commission by Taesday of next week if not before. Never be fore have tlie coal diggers begun work so early. The river, although it has fallen considerably, is still too high to make dredging easy and that the dredgers have succeeded in finding coal under existing conditions augurs well for a successful season. Bat very little coal was taken from the river last year owing to low wat er. What remained iu the stream, to gether with what has been brought down by the succession of floods this winter, it is believed constitutes sev eral heavy deposits that may keep all five dredges busy during the summer. The early date at which the coal diggers are going into commission, this year, indicates that the propriet ors are reckoning with the possibility of low water and want to putin sev eral profitable mouths before the riv er falls. ID view of the fact that a miners' strike may occur and ooal prove a scarce and high priced commodity, it is fortunate that the outlook for river ooal here is so encouraging. LAD SAVES AGED GRANDPARENTS The Selinsgrove correspondent to the Philadelphia Record is responsible for the following: "At the grewsome sight of his aged grandparents slowly roasting to oer tain death, diminutive 10-year-old Joseph Hoch returning from school, became possessed of almost superhu man strength, for a youth as frail as he is t and, exerting his every effort, dragged Mi. and Mrs. Joseph Hoch from the ashes of a smouldering wood fire Toesday with the result that, al though the octogenarian couple are in a precarious condition, physicians en tertain hope for their recovery. While boiling soap at a great fire outdoors, the old man had staggered forward aud fallen helpless in the em bers and his fleshy wife, an invalid, had fallen into the fire also as she tried to extricate him. It is a marvel that the lad could save them. 47 An Obliging Caller. When M. Clemenceau was In tbe lyrench chamber of deputies ho be came for some reason the idol of the worki ngnum, but his popularity, ac cording to the course of nature, brought its penalties. Fie was be •leged by all sorts of people, who came merely to ask questions, and some times they were questions of the most trivial sort. lie was originally a doctor and used to give advice for nothing at certain hours of the day. One morning a entered his room, and 'Clemenceau said without looking up from his writing: "Take off your coat und shirt. I'll attend to you directly." Three minutes later he found the win had stripped to the waist. "There Is nothing the matter with yon," said the doctor when he had made an examination. "I know there isn't," returned the man. "Then what did you come for?" "To consult you on a political ques tion." "But what did you strip for?" "I thought you wanted an illustra tion of the emaciated body of the man who lives by the sweat of his brow." The political question remained un answered. M. Clemenceau was too ex asperated to <lo more than tell the man to dress and go home. Riley and the Scotchman. Eugene Field was fond of relating the following story of James Wliit comb Rliey: "To beguile the tedious ness of llie return voyage from Ku- I rope it was proposed to give a concert | in the saloon of tfte ship, an entertain ment to which all capable of amusing j their fellow passengers should con- i tribute. Mr. Riley was asked to recite j some of his original poems, and of course he cheerfully agreed to do so. ! Among the number present at this midoeean entertainment, over which the Rev. Myron lJeed presided, were two Scotchmen, very worthy gentle men, en route from the Land o' Cakes to the land of biscuits upon a tour of investigation. These twain shared the enthusiasm with which the auditors applauded Mr. Riley's charming reci tations. They marveled that so versa tile a genius could have lived in a lar d •reputed for uncouthness and savagery. "Is it no wonderfu', Donald," re marked one of these Scots, "that, a tradesman suld be sic a bonnle poet?" "And is he indeed a tradesman? - ' •asked the oue. "Indeed he is," answered the other. "Did ye no hear the dominie intrvjuce him as the Hoosler poet? Just think of It, mou—just think of sic a guile poet dividing his time making hoo elery!"

Inspired with the hope of founding a great international organization which will accomplish for the children of the world what the Red Cross has done for the sick and wounded, Countess Lydie Ilostoptchine, a distinguished Russian, now traveling in the United States, is endeavoring to interest the women of the United States in the project "The idea in which the Red Cross had its inception is one which appeals to the heart of all mankind," said Countess Rostoptchlne recivitly at a Washington hotel. "That as well as the excellence of its org:# izatiou ac counts for its power and prestige the world over. It has done fop humanity what scattered philanthropists never could have accomplished, and the suf fering of sick and wounded has every where been alleviated. The human heart cannot be less touched by the miseries of childhood. "Charitable workers and sociologists are agreed that no outlay of effort re pays so largely us the work in behalf of unfortunate little ones. Every great city now has its institutions and its so cieties devoted to the relief of sick and destitute children. Why not concen trate these efforts in one great organ ization, to be known as the White Cross, which shall ultimately equal In numbers and prestige the great Bed Cross? "This has come to be my fixed idea, and I hope before leaving this country to be able to Interest many persons in the formation of snch'an organization." The Russian noblewoman Is one of the most interesting travelers to visit Washington, is related to mnny of the most famous families of the Russian aristocracy and is looked on as one of the most brilliant women of her na tive country. She is a writer and lec turer of distinction and one of the most philanthropic women of Russia. FOR A NEW MESSINA. Italy Asks Japan How to Build Earth quake Proof Town. "Messina will be rebuilt," was the message brought by the Rev. V. Al berto Costabel the other day to the Philadelphia Waldenslan society at its meeting in Westminster hall. Mr. Cos tabel is delegate from the Waldenslan church of Italy to the United States j aud is the pastor of a church in Mes sina that was destroyed by the earth quake. He spoke on "Messina-—As It Was aud Is Today." "Messina will be rebuilt, but not on the same spot," said the Italian minis ter. "The location is too dangerous. The new city will be about a mile from the old one. And its houses will be of different construction. The king of Italy has sent to the emperor of Japan for engineers to instruct the Italians how to build a new Messina that will withstand an earthquake." Mr. Costabel said the destroyed city must be built again because "it is im possible to destroy twenty centuries of history." First Fashion Show. There will be an International wear ing apparel, style and fabric show In Madison Square Garden, New York, from Aug. 14 to 21. Although the manufacture and sale of wearing ap parel form the third largest Industry of the United States, its members have never held any sort of trade exposition. The object of the annual show is to establish in one spot in New York, Madison Square Garden, n place where every manufacturer and buyer can meet for the inspect*in. purchase and sale of stock. THfc COUNIY St Aft OF PENNSYLVANIA HARRISBURG, Maroh 3. To conneot all the oounty seats of Pennsylvania one with the other, b>ih with uioderi: roads and trolley lines, under the Stale aid and control, is the objeot of a bill presented in the house of representatives this morning by James L. Rash, of Qreene county. The bill is entitled "an aot to pro vide a method fur the selection of pub- Mo roads to be improved under the Supervision of the State Highway de partment, and a modern means of transportation." It was referred to the Pablio Roads oommittee. Not only the best roads, bnt the shortest possible roads between ooun ty seats are called for,and in addition, the roads in border counties are to be extended to the State line, making Pennsylvania traversible from all points on entirely modern roads. The bill provides that it shall be the dnty of the State highway depart ment, the oounty and township com missioners in the selection of portions of roads to be improved to give pre ference first to roads connecting ooun ty seats and second to those connect ing county seats to the State border, "and in both cases to make choioe of the shortest, most practical route." It is provided, however, that counties having cities larger than the county seats may prefer the larger cities. FOURTEEN FEET WIDE. The improvements are to be made with a view to permanenoy and tie public need and use, and, wherever practicable, the road is to be at least fourteen feet wide. Preparation of the road bed, ties and rails for trolley lines, where they do not exist, is required of the officers in improving roads where trolley lines do not already exist. The equipment shall be let to the best bidder for ten years or more, lessees to furnish the rolling stock and power and to operate the line. The forfeiture of the lease is to result from failnre to mnke igood the contract. The same officers are also to provide good bridges across streams where needed, the cost to be borne in the same ratio as that by which inter county bridges are paid for, the State three-fourths and the counties and townships each one eighth. PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS. A bill to provide pensions for pub lio school teachers was introduced by John P. L. Morris, of Philadelphia. It provides that auv superintendent, principal or teacher who shall have been employed in the public 6chool system of Pennsylvania not less than 35 years shall,upon application, be re-, tired from duty ou half the average salary such teacher made during the last five years of service. The teacher most have been employed for twenty years at least by the boaril of educa tion to which he or she applies to be retired. HOUSE ADJOURNKD. The house adjourned till March S at 9p. m. Many members will goto Washington tonight for the iuaugura tion. Ose For Despised Cocklebur. The despised cocklebur bids fair to become a product of cultivation. An experiment of making oil from the weed in a mill erected for the purpose at Vidalla, La., is said to have proved very successful, and the firms In Jonesville, La., have gone in for its gathering on a large scale. The pro moters of the plan say the future may develop a cocklebur plantation in place of cotton. Prizes For Big Auto Race. Plans have been completed by the Seattle Automobile club for a trans continental endurance automobile race, the cars to finish in the stadium of the Alaska - Yukon - Pacific exposition at Seattle during the opening week of the big fair. In a letter Robert Gug genheim agreed to present a |2,000 trophy to the winning car and also cash prizes to the amount of $5,300, to be divided among the first five to finish. Tho Story of a Medicine. Its name—"Golden Medical Discovery" was suggested by one of its most import ant and valuable ingredients Golden Seal root. Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce die covered that ho could, by the use of pure, triple-refined glycerine, aidod by & cer tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus aud appliances designed for that purpose, ex tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative properties much better than by tho use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world famed "Golden Medical Discovery," for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derangements was first made, as it ever sinie has b«en, without a particle of alcohol in its mal\-up. •« A glancevijAthWul] list of IU lngredl< ents, printed ffii iVerv bottle-wrapper, will show that It is Wiia from the most valuable medicinal ronts\found growing in our American forestSJ All these In gr-di<'nt'i'av" the hrofoffafl. aorsement Irorn the leading nirdirgTsT: lieiTs. teachers ami w7lt«£ nn ttr/z/TU MyTUjt why m-1111111ie.1.11 Lliemla lh» y fr y A little DOOK of these endorsements off been ooinpiled by Dr. R.

FHING DATE FOR UNVEILING The soldiers' monument committee held a meeting Monday evening (or the purpose of arranging for the un veiling of the soldiers' monument. Nothing definite was deoided on,how ever, although a great deal was accom plished In a preliminary way to aid in gutting the work on foot. Until it is known definitely when the monument will be completed the com mittee can not set a date for the un veiling. When Ur. Amedon, the rep resentative of the Van Amringe Gran ite company, left Danville last fall he stated that he wonld return in the latter part of March. It will require less than a week to complete the work that yet remains to be done on the monument. The oommittee Is divided on the subjeot of a date for holding the un veiling. Some—probably a majority seem loath to drop the idea of Memor ial day,although there are several rea sons why this date would seem to be unsuitable. It iB not unlikely that the unveiling may take place early in April,say, on the anniversary of Lee's surrender. The committee is determined that the occasion shall be a memorable one in Danville. Governor Stuart has per sonally assured Hon. James Poster that he will attend the unveiling, if notified in time. A most elaborate 'program is contemplated.in which ap pear the names of several speakers of national reputation.

Just how a possum ought to be killed and cooked is told in the Atlanta Con stitution by an export known far and wide in Georgia. He says: "To kill a possum his head should be placed beneath a stick. Stand on the stick and pull the possum's tail until his neck is broken. A possum requires careful treatment, and to cook one to perfection a peculiar arrangement is necessary. A pnn on legs should be provided with a hole In one end which enn be plugged. Coals placed under the pan will slowly cook the possum, and as the grease runs out of the car cass it should be drawn off from time to time. All the time the carcass should be basted with a sauce made of pep per and vinegar. In the meantime the potatoes should be boiled. When the possum is almost done the potatoes should be packed in the pan around the possum, a little sugar sprinkled over them, and then the gravy which has been drawn off from the pan should be poured on, after which pos sum and potatoes should be browned to a turn." A Cure For Insomnia. Next time your slumber fails to ar rive on schedule time cast all thought of sleep from your mind and start in to name to yourself ail the friends you have had or now possess. It's much more interesting than counting sheep. Perhaps you have only one friend, but one is enough—he may be the more appreciated. Just think of how you came to know each other, of how the friendship developed and of the happy incidents that have marked your acquaintance. Or, if you have no earthly friends whatever, let your thought dwell upon the great Friend of the friendless and how you came to know him. Somehow the most pre cious of our earthly friendships seem poor compared to this one that dis tance and time and even death itself cannot sever. And there is one advan tage in this attempt to defeat in somnia—even your wakefulness will be enjoyable and restful.—lnterior. True Oratory. "True oratory," said a statesman. "Is that which brings results, is that which converts an audience of ene mies to an audience of supporters Such oratory is rare. I have a friend whose wife, a 'suffragette,' is a great orator. Tier speeches from the plat form are wonderful, and her husband the other day gave me an illustration of the efficiency of her private speeches. '•'An agent called on my wife this afternoon,' he said, 'and tried to sell her a new wrinkle eradicator.' "'And how did the man make out?' said I. " "He left in half an hour.' was the answer, 'with a gross of bottles of wrinkle eradicator of my wife's own manufacture that he had purchased from her.' "—Portland Oregonian. Hard to Kill. A distinguished entomologist, J. C. Warburg, writes: "When I was still new to collecting, In the south of France I discovered one day.to my great joy, a large female of Saturnla pyrl hidden away In some bushes. The specimen was the first I had ever caught, and I decided, on account of Its large body, to stuff it (a quite un necessary operation; I have kept doz ens since unstuffed). The moth was first apparently killed by btlng forced Into a cyanide bottle, where It was left about an hour. The abdomen was then emptied and the cavity filled with cotton wool soaked In a saturat ed solution of mercuric chloride. The insect, pinned and set, was dlscov ered next day attempting to fly away from the setting board." Ponum May Replace Turkey. It to reported that at the next Thanksgiving dinner served In the White House the Georgia possum may replace the Rhode island turkey. KNOX RISIGNfcD, OLIVERJILL WIN HARRISBURG, March 8 A ipeoial messenger from Washing ton last night delivered to Governor Stnart at the exeontive mansion the resignation of Philander O. Knox as United States senator from Pennsyl vania. The letter was simple in con struction and merely said that the seuj ator resigned his seat to take effect at the expiration of the sixtieth con gress, Maroh 4, 1909. On Monday night Governor Stuart will certify the resignation to both branches of the legislature and on Tuesday, Maroh 16, an election for a successor of Senator Knox will be held separately In senate and house, u joint oonvention being held the day follow ing to ratify the choice. There is no doubt now that George T. Oliver, of Pittsburg, will succeed Mr. Knox. He has been endorsed not only by the Allegheny county legislat ors, but also by a number of western representatives of other couuties. Philadelphia, too, has also swung in to line, and it is announced by Sen ator Durham, who is the acknowledg ed leader of the Philadelphia delega tion, that it lias been decided to sup port Mr. Oliver. Mr. Oliver will as sume the duties of his office at once, or at the special sessiou of congress to be called by President Taft. | No time has been set for the holding of the Republican caucus, but it will very likely b8 held on Monday eveu -1 ing in the house caucus room, i The Democratic members of the leg islature, as announced In the News some days a#o, will support Senator Webster Grim, of bu< county, who was the candidate for superior court judge last Novemb •, and is regarded as one of the ablest members of the i senate.

The German naval constructors have recently turned out a peculiar form of dock ship, intended particularly for tho salvage of disabled submarines and torpedo boats. It consists of two hulls resembling ships linked together, fore and aft, high above the water, by steel girders made up of angles and plates. A torpedo boat or submarine can steam between the two hulls and then be lifted by cranes and tackles until it rests upon a platform formed by hing ed beams projecting across from one hull to the other. The propeller shafts of the dock ship are driven by electric motors.

It in really surprising that Walter R. Bradford, The Nortli American's prize hnmuioas cartoonist, should develop luto a writer of fairy story verse However, he has done so,and it is said that he has made a remarkable suoces» of it. To illustrate Braford's version, ' The Little Journeys of Nip and Took," The North American has se cured John R Neill, who is probably the best-known illustrator of chil dren's books in America. Together they have made the prettiest feature ever printed in a oomio seotion of a newspaper. Bradford's verses are light and entertaining and amusing Neill's pictures are beautiful and attractive. The North American's object is to give to its patrons something decidely different from the average coasre comh feature. The management of the paper believes that it has succeeded. Designs and Bids.
