Montour American FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., June 23, 1910. TENER EASILY WINS NOMINATION HARRISBURG, June 23. For Governor, John K. Toner, Wash ington county. For Lieutenant Governor, John M. Reynolds, Bedford county. For Secretary of Internal Affairs, Henry Houck. For State Treasurer, Charles Fred erick Wright. The foregoing ticket was nominated by the Republican State convention this morning at the Majestic theatre without opposition. The various booms for nominations in opposition to the Will of the organization had been quieted to extinction, and there was, of course, no unexpected springing of any name in opposition to the slated nominees. Each nomination was unanimous. The nominations were made and the platform adopted in but little over an hour, the convention adjourning at noon after electing Harry F. Walton as chairman of the Republican State committee to succeed the late Wesley Andrews. Mention of Governor Stuart caused "much applause; Taft drew acclama tion in inverse ratio to his size. Henry Houck's name was cheered to the echo, being almost as loudly welcomed as was that of Tener. The temperature in the Majestic made it extremely uncomfortable for the delegates. It was a shirt sleeved convention and hundreds of palmleaf fans failed to relieve the suffering of those in the aditorium perceptibly." SLOW IN ARRIVING The convention was due to'open its sessions at 10 o'clock,but at that hour there was no one present but the door keepers. There was a long wait before the meeting was called to order at 10:40 o'clock, and in the meantime two bands in the balcony—the Com monwealth band, of this city, and the Repaz band, of Williamsport—gave concerts of popular airs. A large dele gation of Tener men sat with the Williamsport band and now and then gave the yell: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, TENER!" And everybody was glad his name was not Thirtier. THE PLATFORM. The platform as adopted by the con vention indorses the Taft administra tion and recites what lias been accom plished. It takes no back water on the tariff, but stands pat upon the exist ing law. It calls attention to the fact that Governor Stuart lias firmly and hon estly kept the pledges that the nomi nating convention made and that lie indorsed, and it pledges the party and the party's candidates to a continua tion of the policies of the Stuart ad ministration.

THE ENGINEER BEGINS WORK Borough Engineer George F. Keeft* made a survey of East Market street between Pine street and Cook's court yesterday preparatory to the paving of that section, the contract for which lias been awarded to W. H. Lyons of Sunbury. This is the first actual work done in connection with the proposed recon struction of the street which has been on the tapis for nearly three years. It was learned yesterday that tiie con tractor may begin work at any time, as soon as all the papers that figure in the affair are executed. A single day will suffice to wind up matters. The presence of the trolley, tiie pro prietor of which is responsible for a part, of the paving, necessarily com plicates matters to some extent, as council insists on being fully protect ed in tiie premises to the end that, should any breach between the con tractor anil the trolley company occur, the borough can not be held responsi ble for the entire paving. It is not thought, however, that there will be any difficulty in reaching an agree ment. The stakes set by the surveyor yes terday show that tiie curb on the pav ed section on eacli side will set out in the street at least three feet farther than at present, affording wide side walks and reducing the width of the driveway correspondingly. Besides running the curb lines yesterday tiie engineer was also surveying for the grade. Apparently there will be no cuts of fills on the section to be paved that will amount to anything. Now that pavinir on the section de scribed seems assured there is curios ity to know what is to be done with the rest of East Market street, the con dition of which needs no description. Obviously paving on any other section is out of the question during the pre sent year. The portion above Cook's court is the worst, and, if this is not repaired, by next spring it will be nearly impassable. Council desires to extend the paving east and west as soon as the property owners become sufficiently interested. In tiie interim the borough will have to meet the problem of keeping the street pass able. SSOO.OOO IN "JACK POT?" Chicago Paper Claims Illinois Legisla tors Fared Well.

They Are Permitted to Impose Small Fines on Offenders. One advantage accrues to the re spectable member of the community from the minuteness with which the Dresden police look into the affairs of every inhabitant of the city. If be is a careful mnn and always carries papers which may serve to establish his iden tity he is practically Immune from the indignity of being arrested and march ed off to the police station unless, in deed, ho commits some especially hei nous crime. Does be drive faster than the law permits, does he cross a bridge on the left band side, he is stopped by the guardian of law and order and re quested to give his name, if he has his papers with him the policeman may theu and there Impose a fine ot from 1 to 3 marks, if then he admits that be is in the wrong and pays the fine the i ident is closed. If, how ever, he wishes to appeal from the pn liceman's decision he may do so. Even In that case he is uot arrested, but a day or two later he Is notified to np pear in court and answer to the charge against him. Hut then if he Is found I guilty the lowest line that can he ini posed is 3 marks That tills custom <>l j permitting the policeman personally to j impose small fines Is little understood j by foreigners is shown by a remark , m.'ide by a gentleman who had lived in !

OUR FIRST MINT. Somt of Its Curious Old Rules and Regulations. The first United States mint ut Phil- j Udelphia was naturally a very unpre- • tentlous affair. The material for coin age was secured from abroad. There was found much difficulty to net any me of experience to operate the coin- age. and the salary list if the first | mint employees was: liavid lUtten | house, director, $2,000 per annum; Tristram Dalton, treasurer. $1,2U0; Henry Voight, coiner, $1.5(10; Isaac Hugh, clerk, $312. The regular coinage of copper began In 1703, silver in 1794 and gold in 1795. The following curious extracts are taken from the mint rules and regula tions of the early days: "The allowance under the name of drink money is hereafter to be discon tinued. "The operations of the mint through out the year are to commence at 5 o'clock in the morning. "Christmas day and the Fourth of July—and no other days—are estab lished holidays at the mint "He (watchman) will keep In a prop er arm chest, securely locked, a mus ket and bayonet, two pistols and a sword. "The watchman must attend from 0 o'clock in the evening to 5 o'clock in the morning, must ring the yard bell every hour and send the watchdog through the yard Immediately after ringing the bell." Resides the Philadelphia mint, which is now established in palatial quarters at Seventeenth and Spring Garden streets, there are mints at San Fran cisco. Denver and New Orleans and an assay office at Carson City. Cheerful. Old Nurse (to newly married couple after viewing the wedding presents) Well, my dears, you ought to be very 'appy.

Astronomers once believed that the entire starry universe revolved around a center of attraction, and the star named Alcyone, In the group of the Pleiades, was selected by Maedler as marking that great center. It has long been known, however, that Maedler's conclusion, which was based on the apparent motions of the stars, was incorrect, and If any uni versal center exists it has not yet been discovered. In fact, many of the stars seem to be moving In straight lines, some In one direction and come In an other, and among these Is our own sun. But it Is possible that further observations will show\Vhat all the stars are really moving In curved lines In the meantime It has been found that there are certain groups or sets of stars which appear to travel togeth er. To what set, If any, the sun be longs we do not yet know, but De launey has presented reasons for thinking that those stars whose dis tances have been measured (that is to say, those which are nearest to us) gronp themselves around Sirlus, the dog star, lr. a manner similar to that in which the inner planets are group ed around the sun. If this be correct Sirius may possi bly be the master sun of which our orb of day is a distant satellite.— Harper's Weekly. GLYCERIN. In Many Ways It Is a Most Remark able Substance. One of the great advantages of glyc erin lu its chemical employment is the fact that it neither freezes nor evapo rates under any ordinary temperature No perceptible loss by evaporation has been detected at a temperature less than 200 degrees F„ but If heated In tensely it decomposes with a smell that few persons find themselves able to en dure. It burns with a pale flame, sim ilar to that from alcohol, if heated to about 800 degrees and then ignited. Its nonevaporative qualities make the eompouud of much use as a vehicle for holding pigments and colors, as in stamping and typewriter ribbons, car bon papers and the like. If the pure glycerin bo exposed for a long time to u freezing temperature it crystallizes with the appearance "112 | sugar candy, Ittit. these crystals IIOIISL: j oiice limited, it is almost uu impossihii ; ity in get tliern again into the congeal jed state. If a little water be added to the glycerin no crystallization will take ' place, though under a sufficient degree j of cold the water will separate and form crystals, amid which the glycerin will remain in its natural state of fluid ity. If suddenly subjected to intense cold, pure glycerin will form a gummy mass which cannot be entirely harden ed or crystallized. Altogether it is quite a peculiar substance. The Barbarous Suttee. Suttee, or the practice of immolat Ing widows oa their husband's funeral pyres in India, was tirst attacked by the British government In 1829. It was on Dec. 4 of that year that Lord William Bentinck carried n resolution In council by which all who abetted sutteo were declared guilty of "culpa ble homicide." In the year ISI7 700 widows were burned alive In Bengal alone, but since the passing of the act the practice has eutirely died out. Suttee was really a primitive rite, a survival from barbarous times, and not sanctioned by Ilitidooism. the pas sage in the Vedas supporting it being a willful mistranslation. But no pre vious governor had the courage to vio late the British tradition of religious toleration. Lord William Bentinck also suppressed thuggism, which made strangling a religious rite to the god dess Kali. Sakhalin Is Queer. Curious facts have come to light concerning the Island of Sakhalin, off the eastern coast of Siberia.

Danville scored three runs, none earned, and all in the fourth innings, while Sha inokin, aided and abetted by Umpire Dnbbs, got one tally across the pan in the eighth. Those who have been pining for the good old fashioned base ball weather got it yesterday, and old Sol's efforts seemed to be appreciated for about half a dozen automobiles burned up the gasoline on the Shamokin hill. The game was a mighty good one in all except the fourth when four errors, a hit by pitcher, a passed ball and a hit, instituted a procession of Dan ville foot wear around the squared circle. Captain Nipple was first up in this innings and Whitmire hit the bat ter with a pitched ball. A bunt by Wagner was juggled by Whitmire, while the red shirted one meandered to his station. On Hagy's sacrifice Whitmire threw low to third, Nipple scoring. Veith then rolled a hot one down to second wliicli Thomas toyed witli too long, Wagner scoring. At this point Hagy got caught between third and home anil Mackert went down short to first, before Keating's hit to right field scoreil "Veith. Shainokin wasn't sleepiug. They had iunners on the bases in a number of the innings and had Danville in some pretty tight holes. In the fourth es pecially Kulp's soldiers came near to scoring when Thomas reached third base with none out, but was caught at the plate. In the eighth the region tossers made their only score. Mays opened with a two bagger into left field. After Whit mire had fanned, Carr hit to left field, and Mays circled for the plate. Keat ing had Mackert's throw and tug the runner four feet off the plate, but Ump couldn't see it that way, and the run counted. | Brennan pitched a good gaum for | Danville, holding Shamokin down to four hits.

The uew schedule of wages agreed to between the adjustment committees of the 'Brotherhood of Railroad Train men and the Order of Railway Con ductors and General Manager Dice, of the Reading Railway company, was made public hero today. It gives some of the increases from <"> to 20 per cent., only a few as high as the latter figure, according to the different classifica tions. Some get no advance. With the Philadelphia'and Reading, Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Pennsylvania making settlements with the trainmen, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors will have suc cessfully completed the movement started last fall for better wages on all of the railroads east of Chicago and north of the Chesapeake and Ohio.

THE DIVER'S DRESS. Evolution of the Device* Used For Submarine Work. Among pioneer inventors to whom the diving dress in its present perfect ed form owes so much was William Ilnnuis Taylor. The previous hit or miss attempts were superseded by the Taylor patent of Juno 20, 1838, in which the essential feature was the valve allowing the emission of con sumed air without an influx of water. Previous to this time there had been the diving chests and the diving bell, of which the latter, introduced by Smeaton in 1778, was the safest and most practical device for submarine exploration. The diving bell has been developed alongside of the diving dress aud is still in use. I Tho general appearance of Taylor's | diving armor was like that of a knight's suit of mail, except for a ; prominent bulge in the body piece. A i large pipe coming down from the sur -1 face and penetrating the body piece at i the bulge supplied the fresh air, while a short pipe entered the body piece on I the other side and was provided with a valve which carried off the exhaust. Although diving armor has now reach ed its perfected state, this valve has never been materially improved upon. THE WORLD TONGUE. Hartfly a Land In Which English Is Not Now Heard. The traveler of today, unless lie is going to Tibet or Tierra del I'uego, can get along very well with a knowl edge of the English language. The i farther be goes the more he is sur prised at tiuding that English is real ly "the" world tongue. In France aud Spain and Italy the American traveler Is craftily "spotted." He is approach ed on the streets by those who would for a consideration make hltn feel quite at home. One of his chief wor ries Is to escape the pests who can speak English and who wish to ap prise hltn of the fact. They may not necessarily desire to mulct him. Some times they are seeking merely to "show off." At any rate, they classify distinctly as bores. One may goto Smyrna or Constantinople or Beirut and still Und the streets plentifully full of English speaking nuisances. At Jerusalem he will be fairly flooded with English. He may penetrate even to Damascus, and he will find at least a befezzed hall porter who can con verso glibly with him and any num ber of fluently willing dragomans. He may goto Cairo, and in the shadow of the pyramids he will find blue gowned Bedouins speaking more than passa ble English. He may go hundreds of miles up the Nile and may be steered through the locks of the first cataract by frizzly haired Nubian boatmen who make Insistent demands for backsheesh in very Intelligible terms. He may wander donkey bock to the tombs of the kings In the Sahara desert and be painfully disillusioned by a few words of concise Information or explanation by some barefooted, dusky tent dwell er.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The family had stood the long strain of Uncle Hobart's illness well, but the peculiarities of the physician chosen by Uncle Hobart himself had been, to say tho least, trying.

"I know how you feci, with Thanks giving coming on, aud all," said the doctor, peering at her from uuder his shaggy eyebrows, "but it's too soon to tell, no may get well, aud then again ho may not.
