ProMISED passage by the Illinois leg- islature of an amendment to the statute regulating marriages in Illinois - which provides for the publication in news- papers and in churches of a contem- plated marriage thirty days before the ceremony is performed, has aroused interest among judges, clergymen and social reform workers. A bill provid- ing for this reform, which, if passed, will bring Cupid into the limelight more frequently than at present,is said to be aimed to decrease the number of hasty marriages. With a decrease in the number of elopements, judges and lawyers agree that the burden on the divorce court will be lessened mater- ially. Iris a fact that there are always some “smart Alecks” who, no matter where they are or where they go, they always try to make it unpleasant for others. If they are on the road you must poke along and take their dust or run horses with them. If you are on the street you must listen to their filthy remarks, if at church or in a place of amusement, then you must put up with the annoyance of their brilliant thoughts-delivered in a stage whisper. In society their wit and puns must be endured. We imagine that our readers have met all this genio, and with us will say they are about as great nui- sances as the Creator ever clothed in flesh and endowed with the spark call- ed life. a HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR COM- : PLEXION.

Within two days five wrecks are reported with the following frightful list of vietims: Dead, 48; injured, 127. One of the most disastrous wrecks was caused by the explosion of a car- load of powder lying on a siding past which the ill-fated passenger train was rushing. A similar accident at Harris- burg was thought to have been a warn- ing to other railroads to use better precautions in the transportation of high explosives, but it evidently did not extend very far from the Pennsyl- vania’s own lines. Congress is now in the business of regulating the rail- ways. Here is one important point which seems to have been overlooked. The employment of all the safe- guards possible in railroading is only part of the duty of railway managers, and the matter of expense should not be allowed to stand between the safety and the lives of the passengers. There were 37,897 railway accidents in the State of Pennsylvania alone, last year, 3,872 of which were fatal. “War is hell,” we are told, and when thousands, or even hundreds are slain, the civilized world holds up its hands in horror, and all its moral influence is properly exerted to stop the unholy sacrifice, yet thousands are crushed to death every year on the railroads of the country, the victims of economical management that refuses to adopt the best safety appliances if they are not the cheapest.—Connellsville Courier.

The following interesting news ap- peared in last Saturday’s Pittsburg Gazette Times: Charged by his local representative, H. G. Kimmich, of the McChesney building, with stealing valuable papers and embezzlement as trustee, Henry Cohen, a New York broker and pro- moter, with offices at 74 Broadway, was arrested last night at the Hotel Boyer. Although he had in his possession gold bonds of the nominal value of $50,000, Cohen was compelled to go to jail in default of $5,000 bail. Earlier in the day Kimmich had been arrested at the instance of Cohen, who alleges that his agent appropriated bonds valued at $750,000 and embezzled $3,200 in ne- gotiable checks and cash. Kimmich gave $1,000 bail for a hearing before Alderman McMasters. The arrests, it is stated, grew out of trouble in the settlement of an internal dispute in connection with the financ- ing of the Meyersdale & Salisbury electric railway, in Somerset county. According to the story of Kimmich’s attorney, S: J. Graham, the financing of the road was placed in Cohen’s hands some time ago, and he is alleged to have appropriated receipts for bonds and diverted funds which were given to him to his own use. Shortly after being locked up, Cohen communicated with Homer Castle, his attorney, and made arrangements for his release today on bail. His attorney denounces Cohén’s arrest as an out- rage. He declares Cohen took over the Meyersdale Street Railway Company when it was in financial difficulties and succeeded in floating the bonds of the organization and putting it on a sound basis. He says after this was done Kimmich and others desired to gain control again of the project, and his .client’s arrest is merely spite work. Castle alleges that when the annual election of the company was held on January 14, Kimmich and others suec- ceeded in ousting Cohen from the of- fice of treasurer, to which he had been elected when placed in charge of af- fairs. He alleges this was done by voting stock certificates of an obsolete issue and in direct opposition to an agreement which Cohen had with the stockholders when he took up the fi- nancial end of the project. Kimmich was elected to replace Cohen, and a new board of directors was put in of- fice. Kimmich was arrested in his office in the McChesney building by a constable from Alderman McMaster’s office. He was immediately taken before the magistrate and gave bond for a hear- ing. The most serious accusation against him is that he appropriated bonds valued at $750,000 which had been put up as security in bonding the electric line. These bonds are 30-year gold bonds in the Northern and South- ern Lumber Company. Cohen, when arrested, had in his possession $50,000 worth of these securities, which were locked up in the jail vault. merited THE BLANKS WE KEEP.

The following from the Berlin Glean- er, edited by our genial friend James C. Begley, is both laughable and amus- ing: Editor Werner, of the Rockwood Leader, is evidently barking up the wrong tree when he asks us to abandon the dictionaries that were out of the hands of the printers before we were born, and use the kind that he uses. We have before us a copy of Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary, copyright of 1901, and cannot find in it any such word as “Machined,” either in the dictionary or the supplement. We also have the International Encyclopaedic Dictionary, in four volumes. copyright of 1801, and cannot find the missing word there. However, Brother Wer- ner calls our attention to the fact that the word “Machined” is in Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary on page 879. We are sorry he did not tell us when the said edition before him was copy- righted. However, there is an old Webster in the Gleaner office, worn with age. The backs are gone and a good portion of the dictionary proper bast long since wasted away. We therefore cannot tell the date of the copyright, but strange as it may seem, on page 879 we do find “Machined.” It is beginning to look as if Brother Werner was using a dictionary that was out of the hands of the printer be- fore he was born, and faulting every- one that does not. One thing is cer- tain, the dictionary before Brother Werner was copyrighted before the in- vention of the automobile, since such a word cannot be found therein. In our Webster of 1901 and in our Interna- tional Encyclopedic Dictionary we find the word “automobile.” Therefore we surely have the latest edition, and the word “Machined” must have long since become obsolete. Come again, Brother Werner. Now then, Brothers Begley and Wer- ner, just stop making wry faces at each other long enough to listen to a few facts from Tne Star, a paper published in a print shop where only the best and most up-to-date dictionary is consider- ed good enough. The best dictionary, the one that stands preeminently at the head as the most generally recog- nized standard of authority on the English language, is Webster’s Inter- national Dictionary, published by the G. & C. Merriam Company, at Spring- field, Mass. The company aforesaid are the only people on earth who publish or have any right to publish the genuine Web- ster’s Dictionary revised and enlarged to date, and they are the only people who do publish it. The so-called Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary, and some other bogus books bearing the honored name of Webster, are frauds of the meanest kind, and they were issued only for the purpose of catching *‘suckers” and relieving peo- ple of money who are always on the lookout to get something valuable for practically nothing. It isn’t any wonder that Editor Beg- ley can’t find the well known and fre- quently used word “machined” in the works he refers to, for he who has such dictionaries as he quotes has only the meanest and most worthless of trash in the dictionary line. . As to Editor Werner, he, too, must be in need of a modern dictionary, if the one he uses does not contain the word *“uutomobile.” We have a copy of Webster’s International Dictionary, latest edition, and it is the dictionary that is found in nine-tenths of the newspaper and magazine offices of the United States. It is the recognized standard of authority on the English language, and in it we can find the words “machined,” “automobile” or any other word, ancient or modern, that is recognized as belonging to the English language of today. It seems almost incredible that an editor of Mr. Begley’s ability should be using such a bogus publication as the so-called Webster’s Encyclopedic Dic- tionary, when the public has been re- peatedly warned against buying works of its class by nearly all of the leading journals of this country. Burn it, Brother Begley, and get the real thing—Webster’s International. Chas. H. Fisher, the well known Som- erset book merchant, can supply you with it, or you can get it direct from the publishers. : ee TO LAND OWNERS:—We have printed and keep in stock a supply of trespass notices containing extracts from the far-reaching trespass law pass- ed at the 1905 session of the Pennsyl- vania Legislature.
