The official count showed that in a few of the districts on the Democratic ticket an unusually large number of men were voted for as party commit teemen. In several districts there was a tie of votes, a condition which very naturally occurs under the present system of voting. It devolves upon the county chairman to decide when a tie occnrs which of the men with equal score shall serve as committeemen.

HE WAS THANKFUL A Reporter Who Appreciated the At tentions of His Superior. A reporter for a Philadelphia news paper was sent up the state to act as staff correspondent In an Important court trial. It was the reporter's first big out of town assignment, and his managing editor kept the telegraph wires busy with Instructions and In quiries. For two days and two nights the reporter had received a dispatch from his office half hourly, and it be <gu n to get on his nerves. At the end of the second day he •Worked until 2 o'clock in the morning, filed his last page of copy, received word that his story had been re ceived, and he went to bed. Just as bo was putting out the light the hotel .porter appeared with the inevitable tray and the Inevitable telegram. The reporter opened it and read: "What time does court open In the morning?" It was 100 much. Ue hated the sight of a telegram. He had been (leelng the curse of the dispatches only to have them pursue him to bed. lie sat down : and wrote to iiis office the most cour teous answer he could compose: "Court opens at 9 o'clock In the morning. It is now 3. Thank you for waking me in time." Philadelphia Times. Balzac's Way. Jules Sandeau relates that one time while living in Paris Balzac locked himself up In ids room for twenty-two days and twenty-two nights, refusing to see auy one and keeping the cur tains closed and the lights continually burning even In broad daylight.

Restful, delightful, interesting, and instructive, there is no trip like that on the Great Lakes, those inland seas which form the border line between the United States and Canada. And June is one of the most charming months in the year in which to take the trip. For comfort the fine passenger steamships of the Anchor Line have no superiors. As well-appointed as the palatial oceau greyhounds which plow the Atlantic, their schedule allows sufficient time at all stopping places to enable the traveler to see something of the great lake cities and to view in daylight the most distinctive sights of the lakes, and the scenery which frames them. The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake St. Clair, with its great ship canal in the middle of the lake, thence through Lake Huron, the locking of the steamer through the great locks at the Soo, and the passage of the Portage Entry, lake and canal, across the upper end of Mich igan are novel and interesting features. The voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over eleven hundred miles in the five days' journey. Leaving Buffalo, the steamships Juniata, Tionesta and Octorara, make stops at Erie, Cleveland, Detroit, Mackinac Island, the Soo, Marquette, Houghton and Hancock, and Duluth. The 1910 season opened on May 31, when the Steamer Tionesta made her first sailing from Buffalo. The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the service measures up to the high standard set by the"Standard Railroad of America." An illustrated folder, giving sailing dates of steamers, rates of fare, and other information is in course of preparation, and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsylvania Rail road Ticket Agent, who is also prepared to book passengers who may desire to take this trip through the Great Lakes and back. Curious Training Methods. Every baseball player seems to have his own system, and some of tho meth ods used are laughable, aud few are of any practicable value. %ne young catcher who Joined a National league club a few years ago brought five gal lons of Iron, beef and wine In jugs hi his trunk to make him strong. Can non balls that weigh twenty-five pounds are used to roll over the abdo men. Iron rolling pins, special band ages, a thousand kinds of rubbing oils and lotions, ranging from patent med icines to horse liniments aud oil made by boiling down fishing worms, vibra tors of all sizes and shnpes, odd arm bakers to be superheated with electricity and rubber bands are em ployed. Hotel rooms aro turned into gymnasiums, and one of the funniest sights of a year is to sit in a card game with half a dozen players swath ed like puffy mummies in blankets, sweaters and flannels until they look as if they were starting on an arctic Journey.—American Magazine. Wellington's Coolness. The Duke of Wellington was one day sitting at Ills library table when the door opened and without any an nouncement In stalked a figure of sin gularly ill omen. "Who aro you?" asked the duke in his short and dry manner, looking up without the slightest change of coun tenance upon the intruder. "I am Apollyon. I am sent here to kill you." "Kill me? Very odd." "I am Apollyon and must put you to death." " 'Bilged to do it today?" "I am not told the day or the hour, but I must do my mission." "Very Inconvenient; vpry busy; great many letters to write. Call again or write me word. I'll be ready for you." The duke then went on with his cor respondence. The maniac, appalled i probably by the stern, Immovable old j gentleman, backed out of the room arnJ j in half an hour was in an asylum. A Legend of February. nere is the pretty legend which tells why February has only twenty-eight or twenty-nine days. Long ago. they say, February was a gambler, and lie j was so unlucky that he soon lost all his money. Like other gamblers, lie tried to recover it, aud he said to his companions that if they would lend i him some money he would give theui as security one of his days. January and March, who were naturally asso ciated with him more often than any of the other months, accepted his of fer, and as poor February soon lost 1 tho money which he had borrowed each of them acquired one of his days. That Is why January aud March have I each thirty-one days and February has only twenty-eight hi ordinary and twenty-nine in leap years. Appropriate Treatment.

MAN 74 ELOPED WITH GIRL OF 17 The elopement of a 74 year old man and 15 years old girl seems impossible to boliove but such are the ages of a runaway couple that were traced to West Berwick and from there toward this city. Mis. Helen Ilolloway, of Berwick, received word from Mrs. Bretles, humane agent at. Wilkes-Barre, that an aged man who has a criminal rec ord had induced the 'girl to leave her home at Shickshinny the day before she was to be placed in a good home. They walked to West Berwick and went to the home of Smith Andrwes, a relative of the girl, in the Michael addition in West Berwick. About the same time Mrs. Holloway received word, Mr. Andrews notified Constable Groh but the pair left before the con stable arrived and eluding the oilicer wont toward Danville. A determined search is being made for the pair. Q«ttlng Into Moral Dobt. Philip 1). Armour, millionaire and philanthropist, continually warned young men against getting Into debt. He loved free men and despised slaves. When asked If he admired a certain brilliant orator he said: "He may have a superb voice and fine presence, but can't you hear the rattle of his chain? That man Is not free. He Is under moral obligations that demoralize him He is not speaking the deepest thing In his soul, and I haven't time to hear any slave talk. 1 want a man to be just as free as I am." On another occasion he eald: "Don't get Into debt-I mean moral debt It Is bad enough to get Into debt fluan cially. There goes a young man who Is mortgaged. That young man Is leg ging It along with a debt, and It will take twice as much power to get him along as the man without a debt. There are other debts and obligations that are embarrassing In their entan glements. Don't get Into debt morally, my boy; don't get Into debt so that you may not exercise your freedom to Its limits." The Code of Slang. It Is rather a clever notion In a re cent story to make two Americans communicate , with each other by means of slang in a Central American republic at a time when all telegrams are cnrcfully Inspected. If they used Spanish, that, of course, would bo Im mediately understood. If they used English the officials would find some one to translate it. As they had no cipher code prepared in advance, they could not resort to it. Consequently the first American telegraphs to the ' other American In "tho great and po ! tent code of slang." Here is a tole- I gram which slipped through the fin : gers of the curious Central American ; officials: | "His nibs skedaddled yesterday per I Jack rabbit line with all the coin in the kitty and tho bundle of muslin he's spoony about. Tho boodlo is sis tig | ures short. Our crowd in good shape. | but we need the spondullcs. You 1 collar it. The main guy and the dry | goods are headed for the briny. You 1 know what to do. Bob."—Bookman Saving tho Union. Until we had a national game it was silly, according to Ellis Parker Butler in Success Magazine, to speak of the loose group of states as a nation. The people had too much time in which to talk politics, and whenever they talked politics they became angered, and whenever they were angered they wanted to secede or knock spots off each other. There was uo one groat unifying spirit. There was too much "Maryland, My Maryland." and "Van kee. Doodle" and not any "Casey at the Bat," All the animus that Is now di reeled at tho umpire class was allow ed to foment into sectional feeling. A man from Baltimore and a man from Boston could not meet and talk in curves: they had to talk slaves, lm aglne the benighted state of society! It Is a wonder that the nation lasted until baseball arose In its might and strength to make of us one great peo ple! When Finiahed. Busy persons, forced to defend them selves from interminable talkers who have little to say, can appreciate a hint to which Henry IV. of France once re sorted. A parliamentary deputy called upon him and made a long speech. The king listened patiently for a time, then he decided that his visitor would do well to condense his remarks. He took him liy the hand and led him to where they could see the gallery of tho Louvre. "What do you think of that building? When It is finished it will be a good thing, will it not?" "Yes," replied the man of many words, not guessing what was coming next "Well, monsieur, that is Just the way with your discourse," was the king's mild observation. Peculiarities of the Opossum. The American opossum is one of the most curious animals living in the \ United States. It is the only one that 1 carries its young In a pouch like the kangaroo. It is the only animal that can feign death perfectly. It is re- | markable for hanging by its tail like a monkey. It has hands resembling i those of a human being. Its snout Is like a hog's, while its mouth is liber ally furnished with teeth. Its eyes are like a rat's, paid It hisses like a ; snake. Little by Little.

EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES Continued from Ist Page. mitted conveying in 18SM! the property from the Montour Iron and Steel com pany to the Reading Iron conipany including among other things tho ore with mining rights and privileges on tho Pursel tract, which had been con veyod in the original deed to Water man & Beaver, in 1802. The first witness called was Mrs. j t William R. Pursel, who testified con cerning a sink or cave in at slope No. I l,on the north side of the public road, about the year I'JOS, which was filled [ up by employes of the Reading Iron , company. She also testified as to the I abandonment of the mine and there , nioval of tho building. The next witness called was Ray . niond Pursel, son of William R. Piu- I sol, who described the sink at the slope on the north side of the road, which imperilled traffic. He notified Mr. Hecht.the superintendent of the Read- I ing Iron works, who sent employes of I the company to the spot,who filled up the sink. The company tore up the railroad and removed the buildings' 1 following tho June flood in 1889,whon ! the last ore was mined. ■ Joseph Churin was called to the , stand, who testified as to the cave-in at the slope and the filling up of the , same. Ho was employed by the com . pany and assisted in filling up the . sink. In 1881) a flood occurred, which stopped mining,although the mine was in good repair. D. It. P. Childs was called. He help ed to fill up the sink at the slope about ' three years ago. He was hired by E. W. Peters, who paid him ten dollars i for his work. Charles W. Cook, a former employe , of the company who worked in the . mine described conditiongfthere about , the time the mining of ore ceased. EFFECT OF SUGGESTION. i It Can Fill Our Lives With Gladnesa or With Miser/. I There is nothing that plays so iinpor i taut a part in the daily life of men | and women as does suggestion, says j 11. Addingtou Bruce in the Delinea tor. Mentally, morally and to a large • extent physically we are what we j are because of its influence. Sugges j tiou can make of us saints or crimi : lials. heroes or cowards. It can lift us from beds of sickness or doom us jto a hopeless invalidism. It can fill our lives with gladness or with tuis i ery. It is a great force ceaselessly operative, unescapable. But it is a j force that we can nevertheless direct , and utilize if we ouly understand its ! laws, and the more wisely, the more , ! persistently, the more thoroughly we , | use it, the happier nnd healthier we , I shall be. j No matter how many setbacks come. J keep repeating to yourself optimistic | ! autosuggestions. Repetition is one of , j tho most forceful instruments of sug i gestion. There is a great truth under- I lying the familiar saying "As a man ; thlnketh, so Is ho." Moreover, you can \ utilize the law of repetition to draw i 1 from your surroundings beneficial sug ; gestions that will powerfully re-en- I force your autosuggestions. You can j do so because every detail in your en i virontneut is of suggestive value to ; you, and, although no one can make 1 this environment all that it should be. i nevertheless It is quite within your I power to modify it in such a way that I It will give you a maximum of help ful and a minimum of harmful suggos i tlons. A Merited Rebuke. At the age of eighty-six Mme. Reyn olds still found much zest In life, j and, having retained all her faculties, j she felt that a few of the physical (Us ; abilities of her age were of small ac ! count and portended nothing. Her ) nephew Thomas was a man of much worth, but of a certain tactlessness of | speech, which always roused the ire ! of his aunt. A few weeks before the old lady's I eighty-seventh birthday Thomas, who ] had been overweighted with business j cares for years, started on a trip round j the world which was to consume two i years. "I've come to say goodby," he an- J j nounccd «hen he appeared at his ] j aunt's house in a town fifty miles dls-1 | tant from his home. "I'm starting i round the world next week, and as I'm to be gone two years and perhaps ' ! longer 1 thought I might not ever— | well, you understand, I wanted to be ' sure to see you once more."

AGED SOLDIERS ARE APPLAUDED The grand old men of the Grand Army of the Republic paraded the central streets of Harrisburg yester day. Two thousand veterans of the Civil War, marching to drums beating at far slower time than those that cheered them as they were marching from Atlanta to the sea,formed a pro cession that was seen by thousands of | citizens who lined the loute and ap- j [ plauded the aged soldiers. The procession formed probably a I larger gathering of the G. A. R. than Harrisburg will ever again see. On all sides comment was made at the age of the marchers; it was apparent that { some of them were walking over the route, short though it was, only by the exercise of some of the bravery that made them victors in their his toric engagements. The route was only nineteen blocks long; yet at the end of this short walk some of the soldiers that had insisted upon walking rather than surrender to a motor or horse-drawn .vehicle, were tired out. Only a bracing air, cooler than could have been expected at this time of the year, combined with a short route, made the procession pos sible. Although a small parade, it was the most impressive that has been seen in years. The slow beating of the drums, to aocommodate the less active tread of tiie veterans; the battle-torn flags and the manifestations of the latent enthusiasm of the veterans all combin ed to inspire the reverence of the on lookers. j Governor Stuart reviewed the veter j ans from the porch of the Executive j Mansion, and it was there that the I most impressive scenes of the parade i were observed. There every flag—from | the latest with the full quota of stars to the shredded remnants of an em blem carried through the war to pre serve the stars and stripes as it was then—was dipped, and the chief ex ecutive uncovered as it passed ; every soldier raised his hat, some with great effort,-or held his walking stick at salute,with an increase of the martial spirit that put more'life into his tread for a half block or so. Origin of Commerce. | Commerce— the International traffic I In goods as distinct from domestic traf fic—was undoubtedly originated by the j wonderful little people known In his tory us the Phoenicians. The "Yan- I kees of antiquity," the Phoenicians. traded with various peoples long be j fore the other nations had crossed I their respective frontiers. All along | the shores of the Mediterranean and up the coast of the Atlantic as far j north as the British isles their ships J were to be found, leaving their manu : factures and wonderful dyes and bring \ lng back to Tyre tin, .wool and such | other articles as paid them to deal In. ; Creating the merchant marine so long 1 ago that history gives us no account j of it, the Phoenicians and their colo j nists, the Carthaginians, held It until It passed onto Greece and Home and latef along to the republics of modern j Italy.—New Y'ork American. A Scotch Anti-go!f Law. | Scotland, as everybody knows, is the land where golt originated and the ! land where it most flourishes. But if j the law were strictly enforced north of the Tweed it would go hard n i l: 1 the players of the royal game In"1 »i: ; ule Scotland." Coif players there may not know it, but they are liable to a j sentence of death for their Indulgein-o >ln their favorite sport. Technically j this Is literally a fact. In ancient i times, when Scotland always had work for her soldiers to do, all young men were required to perfect themselves in archery. They preferred to play golf. ! and so serious a rival did the game lie- I come that It was for a time suppressed and made a capital offense. That curl i ous law never has been repealed and i may still be found on the statute book. There seems to be no record, however. I of the law ever having been enforced A Japanese Custom. On the anniversary of a Japanese boy's birthday his parents present hiui with a huge paper fish, made of a gay ly painted bag, with a hoop of proper dimensions forming the mouth. A string is tied to the hoop, and the tish is hoisted to a pole on the roof of the house. Then the wind rushing through causes the fish to swell out to the proper size and shape and gi%es It the appearance of swimming In tin air. A Japanese boy carefully pre serves every fish thus giveu to him One can tell by the number of them that swim from the same pole how many birthdays the little fellow has had. Cause For Rejoicing.

Till CARRIED TWO EDDIES Tlie 10:2# passenger train on the I ennsylvania railroad yesterday morn ing wan a veritable funeral train bringing as it did, by a most singular coincidence the bodies of two of our former townsmen, Joseph Hale and Harry Harris, to this city foi burial Accompanying the remains were a large number of friends and relatives of the departed ones. The arrival of the train with the bodies and the influx of sombre garbed figures to gether with the mourners from this vicinity gathered at the starion, all combined to make a scene of sorrow seldom seen at a railroad station. Accompanying the remains of Joseph Hale, an account of whose death at Shamokin, on Sunday, appeared in these columns, were friends and rela tives to the number of forty-five. Lin coln Post, No. 140, G. A. R., of Sha i mokin, of which the deceased was a ! member, sent as representatives, Jerry j Logan and Jefferson Hoover. Funeral services were held at Sha i mokin on Tuesday evening, the Rev Rrooks, pastor of the Second Method •st church, of that city, officiating. Rev. Brooks also conducted the ser vices at the grave.

Device to Displace Rubber Tires. George Westinghouse of Pittsburg has invented a device called the air spring to supersede the pneumatic tire. The air spring is a series of plungers working on air cushions placed under the corners of the frame of a vehicle Each spring for an automobile is n cylinder about three inches in diame ter and ten inches long. It is said by Mr. Westinghouse that an automobile fitted with solid steel tires and with the air springs rides more easily than does the rubber tired automobile oft > day.
