JUNE ON THE GREAT LAKES.
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
ocean 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
seen try 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 aud Octorara, make stops at
Erie, Cleveland, Detroit, Mackinac Island, the Soo, Marquette,
Houghton and Hancock, and Duluth.
The 1010 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 lie 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.

Why the Vases Were Valuable.
There's 41 china expert In oue_of ttje
large department stores here who has
nn amusing little trade of his own on
the side. It is nothing more or less
than deciding the value of rare china
or glass ware broken by careless serv
ants or packing houses.
"It requires a lot of diplomacy, too,"
he said, with a laugh. "Not eo very
long ago I was called into arbitrate
between an Irate householder and one
of the big moving firms. She said with
sobs that the movers had broken a
pair of vases which she valued at SIOO.
The movers, although willing to make
restitution, considered the sum exor
bitant Well, I looked at the pieces
and found the value about $25. I told
the woman so quietly. 'I know that,'
she sobbed, 'but they belonged to my
mother-in-law, and my husband will
think I made the men do It purposely
unless I get a lot for them.'
"And It was not until the men had
promised to prove they had done It
accidentally that the lady was content
to accept the $25." Philadelphia

A Queer Phase of Hypnotlem.
The technique of phreno-magnetlsm
la this: When the subject is in the hyp
notic sleep the operator, standing be
hind him, places the tips of his fingers
upon the subject's head and waits.
Soon the subject will begin to act or
sing or speak. Any one acquainted
with the phrenological system of local
ization will recognize at once that the
actions or words of the subject corre
spond to the "organ" on the head
which has been touched by the opera
tor. Thus if you touch combatlveness
the subject Is very apt to square of?
and strike some one or speak of war
or a drum. If you touch veneration
he Is Is very apt to lift his eyes and
pray. I have heard a very eloquent
sermon thus Inspired In a subject who
was gifted with a ready tongue. Touch
the organ of color and he will spenk of
beautiful colors. Touch tune and he
will sing or whistle. Touch caution
and his face will express vivid fear. 1
remember that one subject startled me
by shouting "Look out!" and making
a leap that he could scarcely have
equaled In his waking state. When 1
touched the faculty of caution he
thought he saw a snake.—Dr. George
F. Laidlaw in Metropolitan Magazine.
A Clash With Caged Pythone.
Carl Hagenbeck thus described an
adventure with caged pythons: "My
son Celnrlch had no sooner opened the
door of the cage than the four reptiles,
as though by prearranged plan, flew at
him with wide open Jaws. One of
them very nearly succeeded In colling
Itself round him, but he defended him
self vigorously, and I and a keeper
ran to his aid, but It was some min
utes before we succeeded In freeing
him. Then the largest of the four
Qxod himself firmly with his tall on a
rafter at the top of the cage and made
savage bites at us. When we had
thrown a sack over his head we had 10
secure further assistance to unloosen
his tall. No sooner had we with great
effort got It loose than the monster
twisted Itself around Ilelnrlch'9 right
leg aud began to twine Itself higher
up his body. It was a life and death
struggle that then ensued, but by ex
erting all our might we at last suc
ceeded In tearing away the reptile and
forcing It Into a sack."
No Gossip.
"I don't like these women who gossip
about others. Do you?"
"I should say not. Now, there's Mrs.
Green. She's always telling mean
things about her neighbors. And Mrs.
Hunter talks perfectly dreadful about
her friends. Thank goodness, I never
say anything about anybody!"— Stray
Stories.
A Test of Strength.
"Doctor, have you and the consult
ing physicians decided what Is the
matter with me?"
"Not yet"
"But I heard you balloting this morn»
lng."
"Oh, that was only a straw vote."—
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Regular Performance.
"When you proposed did you get
down on your knees?"
"No. But since I've been married
site's made me get down on 'em right
along."—Detroit Free Press.
HERRING ASKS
FOR NON-SUIT
Continued Iron Ist Page.
for the plaintiff tool the floor to re
sist the motion for a compulsory non
suit. He spoke for ai hour and a half
and was very eloqu«nt and forceful.
He addressed himself especially to the
task of proving that in the present
case the administrator was the proper
person to bring suit, citing numerous
authorities in support of his argument
As to the supplementary agreement,
which the plaintiff was charged with
refusing to offer in testimony, Mr.
Johnson affirmed that it had nothing
to do with the case, as the actUn was
not based npon it, but on the original
deed made to Waterman & 3eaver.
In the amended declaration tie plain
tiff, he said, had stated that tie mod
ified agreement exists, even stating
the amount of the reduction and the
exact figures agreed upon ss well as
the fact of the suspension of the mini
mum royalty while the slope was be
ing deepened. It was nos offered in
evidenoe because it was regarded as
immaterial to the case. The declara
tion lays the damages based on the
minimum royalty clause in the orig
inal deed. He quoted authorities to
show that an allegation not going to
the foundation of a case need not be
proven, although alleged.
NON-SUIT GRANTED
The motion for a nonsuit in the
Pnrsol damage oase against the Read
ing Iron company was sustained by
the court, and what promised to be a
lengthy and liard-fought contest was
summarily brought to a close early
Friday morning. The jurors and
the witnesses were discharged and
court adjourned.
Mr. Herring occupied the greater
part of the forenoon. The afternoon
session, up to 8 o'clock, when court
adjourned,was occupied by Mr. John
son of the plaintiff's side, who resum
ed in the evening, being followed by
Mr. Davis also for the plaintiff. When
Mr. Davis concluded Jefferson Sny
der, of counsel for the defendant, took
the floor, sustaining the motion for a
nonsuit. The argument wound up
with an address by Mr. Herring. The
speeches without exception were (bril
liant efforts and were listened to with
great interest by the large audience
assembled.
There was much curiosity to learn
what the court's decision would be in
the premises. Accordingly at the ring
ing of the bell yesterday morning a
large number of persons gathered at
the courthouse. They had not long to
wait.
Couit was formally opened, imme
diately after which Judge Evans
made the following announcement:
"We have concluded to sustain the
motion for a nonsuit. Kule is granted
to show cause why it should not be
lifted, returnable to nest argument
court."
Immediately afterward the jurors
and witnesses were discharged and
court was adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning, when the case of Com
monwealth vs. Harry Deibert, the
charge desertion and non support,will
be heard.
A FAMOUS TIMEPIECE.
The Astronomical Clock at Hampton
Court Palace.
The famous astronomical clock at
Hampton Court palace, near London,
is the first timepiece of that character
erected in England and was made for
Henry VIII. In 1540. According to Er
nest Law, the historian of Hampton
Court palace. It was the creation of
Nicholas Cratzer, a German astrono
mer, who visited England at the luvi
tatlon of Cardinal Wolsey, who intro
duced him to the king.
It Is possible to learn from it the
hour, the month, the day of the month,
the position of the sun and the number
of days since the beginning of the
year, phases of the tnoou and its age,
the hour at which It crosses the meri
dian and the time of high water at
London bridge. The winding of the
clock occupies half an hour every
week. The weights descend to a depth
of more than sixty feet.
Like many other things about the
palace, It has its legends. It Is related
that when Anne of Denmark, queen of
James 1., died In tho palace the clock,
which was striking 4 at the mo
ment, immediately stopped. This it Is
said to do whenever any old resident
in the palace dies within Its precincts,
and alleged modern Instances of the
fact are quoted solemnly by the credu
lous.—Argonaut.
How He Won Her.
A man who married his stenogra
pher won her through sheer persisten
cy. Although It was evident to the
wooer that the young woman lid not
regard him entirely without favor, ho
found It extremely difficult to get hor
to listen to his plea. The stenographer
refused to lunch, sup or go to the the
ater with her admirer. Finding every
avenue of approach blocked, tho de
termined courter, who possessed some
literary facility, wrote a short love
story, in which the girl and he were
the leading figures. This story he sent
to the stenographer every morning for
n month and ordered her to typewrite
it for him. She dared not refuse to
do as her employer commanded, and,
realizing through the story that lie
would never give up until she married
him, she finally acquiesced.—Chicago

PRETTY HITTING
WON FOR LOCALS
Iu as pretty a game as lias been
seen hero this season Danville yester
day put the second sprag to Hunting
don's victorious course. The win was
duo to the magnificent hitting of the
lorals at timely moments.
Garlow, Huntingdon's star Indian
twirler, was in the box. He was not
hammered excessively at any stage,
but Danville was able to solve his
cunning at the times when swats
meant scores. [Seven safeties Danville
tallied fiom the Chief's service, 4 of
them figured directly in scoring—
Veith's home run in the second which
tallied two, Ainsworth's single in
the second, which scored Mackert, and
Nipple's two bagger in the fifth and
Wagner's single in the same session.
Three of Danville's runs were earned.
Ainsworth had far the better of the
Red Skin in the shuffle. Our boy al
lowed but two safeties—and that to
batters who have some idea of how to
muss things up.
The fielding of the two teams was
very near faultless. With the excep
tion of tlie two errors on fairly hard
tries and the throw around in the first
which allowed Huntingdon's only
83ore, the playing of both teams was a
joy to behold. Fast and snappy work
was the order, and this was at times
interspersed with startlers, most note
worthy being Wagner's magnificent
one hand catch of Raferty's drive in
the fourth.
There was a good sized crowd pres
ent, the lady fans being in the major
ity. The rain which threatened early
in the afternoon to spoil the game
and many pretty white dresses, slacked
np before it had done any harm.
Huntingdon tallied her only run in
the first innings, due partly to Ains
worth's temporary inability to locate
! the pan and to a throw around which
allowed Billet to get home.
Danville's turn came in the second,
when the locals packed the game
away in the refrigerator. Wagner got
the first pass issued by Garlow. Hagy
attempted to sacrifice, and got his
base while Wagner was caught at sec
ond. With one on Veith pulled off the
sensational swat of the day—a beauti
ful drive over the center field fence.
Mackert then selected bad ones and
i walked, went to second on Kelly's
! out, stole third and tallied on Ains
worth's Texas Leaguer over the short
patch.
In the fifth Nipple came in for his
second hit—a two bagger—and was
followed by Wagner who singled,
j Wagner tried for second but was
I caught, Nipple scoring on the play.

NERVOUS TWITCHINGS.
An Affliction From Which Men of
Genius Often Suffer.
Many men of genius, like the Insane,
are subject to curious spasmodic and
choreic movements. Professor Lom
broso In one of his books pointed out
that Lenau and Montesquieu left upon
tho floor of their rooms the signs of
the movements by which their feet
were convulsively agitated during
composition.
Buffon, Dr. Johnson, Santeull. Cre
blllon and Lombardlnl exhibited the
most remarknble facial contortions.
There was a constant quiver on Thom
as Campbell's thin lips. Chateaubri
and was long subject to convulsive
movements of the arm.
Napoleon suffered from an habitual
spasm of the right shoulder and of the
lips. "My anger," he said one day
after an altercation with Lowe, "must
have been fearful, for I felt the vibra
tion of my calves, which has not hap
pened to me for a long time."
Peter the Great suffered from con
vulslvo movements which horribly
distorted his face. "Carduccl's face
at certain moments." writes Maute
gazza, "is a veritable hurricane; light
nlngs dart from his eyes, and his mus
cles tremble." Ampero could express
his thoughts only while walking and
wheu his body was In a state of con
stant movement. Socrates often danced
and Jumped in the street without rea
son.
Rattled.
A nervous looking man walked Into
a grocery store with his baby on one
arm anil a kerosene can on the other,
placed tho can on the counter and
said, "Sit there a moment, dear"
Then, holding the baby up to the dazed
clerk, ho added, "Fill this thing up

SUDDEN DEATH
OE MISS WAGNER
Miss M. Lizzie Wagner of Exchange
died at the city hospital,Williamsport
yesterday forenoon following a oper
ation that was performed last Thurs
day. Miss Wagner was one of the most
widely known and esteemed residents
of the northern end of the county and
the news of her sudden demise will
cause great surprise and sorrow.
Miss Wagner was rural telephone
operator at Exchange and resided
with her uncle and aunt, the Rev. S.
O. McElroy and wife. She was fifty
two years of age and is survived by
her father and step-mother, Mr. and
Mrs. William M. Wagner,a half-broth
er and half-sister, William B. and
Catherine Wagner, of Winchester, Va
The deceased was a member of the
Derry Presbyterian'cliurch.
WAS GETTING ALONG NICELY.
Miss Wagner went to the hospital
for treatment last Wednesday. On
Thursday a successful operation was
performed. Following [the operation
