In Trying to Check His Aliment He Al most Sacrificed His Life In Tak ing: a Dose of Arsenic. One of our prominent townsmen who has been on the sick list for some time al- most succeeded in putting an end to his Illness at the expense of his life the other day. It was not a case of attempted sui cide, or a case of taking a dose from the wrong bottle this time, but was due to the enlarged judgment of a friend. The physician in attendance bad instructed the patient to take ten drops of an ar senical preparation and the friend est! mated that the ten drops were equal to a teaspoonful. The patient took the dose and nothing was thought of the matter until the doctor learned of It. There was juite a shaking of limbs when the medi cal man said to the patient, "Well, that you are not n dead man by this time U only due to nn overdose. I cannot ac count for your existence in any other way. You have taken a ttaspoonful ol arsenlo and may consider yourself lucky." The doctor's prescription will be followed to the letter hereafter. The story of the above fttdent was told In one of the hotels last night and was followed by one told by a dentist, who ays the men of his profession always dread ilnejwenther. They can always tell when a storm is coming without Consult lng either a barometer or the weather fore casts. Their patients are the best barom eters lnfthe world. The teeth are pecul' 1 irly affected by damp weather, partien- larly badlteeth. When people begin Hock' lng to the dentists with toothache and pains in thejjaw the tooth-puller knows a spell of bad weather Is coming. A good bit of it is neuralgia, but It is a sure sign. The rush of business keeps up until the stormy weather sets in, and when business falls off the dentists know the storm is abating, and fine weather will soon fotlow. When toothache patients are few and far between youjean rest assured that a sea' son of pleasant weather is at hand. The recent newspaper talk over the Titman-Hnrrlngton real estate deal has given property in this town quite a boom but the owners must not allow their heads to be turned. One man who was standing out for a bid of $15,000 for his place now wants $17,000. The number of people In this town who have $15,000 to Invest In real estate can easily be counted and there arn not half Ihs number who have $20,000 or $30,000 to invest so the people dis posed to sell their holdings must not run too high, lest they may be sub jected to disappointment and take a big drop. The price paid for one property cannot always be considered in fixing the value of another, because there may be a score of peculiar circumstances in connec tion with one sale that would not enter another. Real estate has been booming in this town for the past two or three years, yet Mr. Harlngton only received for his property just what he was offered about six years ago. This seems strange, but it is a fact, nevertheless. It seems more remarkable since Mr. Tit man has within the past forty-eight hours received an offer of $30,000 for the prop erty, a temptation of n profit of $3,000 f or the time takeu in making two trips to Hcranton. Here Is where the farce of cir cumstances comes in. In Mr. Harlngton's hands the property stood at $37,000 for six years and in spite of a boom during the past two years It did not move, but It jumped $3,000 inside of two days after it got Into Mr. Titman's hands.

MANY PATRIOTIC SPEECHES Eg-an's New Hall Was Crowded Last Evening- to Listen to Addresses Upon Popular Themes. The beautiful lodge room in the Kan building, nt the corner of Centre and Main streets, wns crowded last evening with members of the Patriotic Order Sons of America. It was the occasion ot the reunion of the camps of that organi zation in Schuylkill District No. 5, over which District President W. S. Brltton. of Glrardvllle, has supervision. That official appears to have indited new life Into the organization, and nt the end of his term ot office he will give n good ac count ot Lis stewardship, it last night's gathering may be considered n criterion. Representatives were present from Wm. Penn, Lost Creek, Glrardvllle, Frackville and Ashland, and to say that nil appeared to enjoy themselves Is put ting it mildly, because the meeting bristled over with enthusiasm in the noble work In which the members of the order have enlisted. District President Brltton wns chair man of the meeting, and he performed the duties of that position in nu efllclent manner. After n few preliminary re marks by the chalrmnn, the opening ode was snng, and II. E. Dengler was called uppn for the address of welcome. His remarks were brief but to the point, and proved him to be an impromtu speaker of no mean ability. Councilman A. B. Lamb followed with a recital upon his popular theme, digging the "filthy lucre," at the conclusion ot which he was heartily applauded. State Vice President S. L. Brown, of town, re sponded to the subject, "What has the order done f" The speaker portrayed In a pleasing manner how the members ot the order in 1S01 responded almost to a man to the call for volunteers to defend the nation, leaving but two camps in ex istence in this state ; the practical work that has been done in behnlf of the pub lic schools; the Inculcation of a patriotic spirit Into the minds ot tho young mem bers, and the advantages ot membership from a fraternal and benetlclnl stand point. Refreshments were served nt the conclusion ot this address. I. B. Abrams, of Glrardvllle, favored the audience with n comical Bong, and in answer to a hearty enchore s.tng one that pleased the bachelor members. Liter on In the evening he agu-u responded to tho demands of the audience. The remarks by Prof. J. V. Cooper, principal ot tho High school, was the most able address ot the evening, and tho speaker held the strict attention of his hearers throughout his remarks. Ho spoke upon the duties and prerogatives of Sons of America, claiming that the battle-cry should be not "America for Americans," but rather "Americans for America." Upon the subject of emigra tion he said the order was opposed to In discriminate admission, but welcomed with opened arms those poople of foreign countries who come to ourshoroj with the purpose of becoming citizens b)th In name and deed. He said that the mere fact of a man being born on our soil does not necessarily prove that he is a true Son of America, no more than If he were borne in some other clime. A true Sou ot Amer ica must be a citizen in all that the term Implies. At the conclusion ot this ad dress refreshments and cigars were served. James R Lewis gave a recitation in his usual style, when the exercises closed with a general debate upon topics per taining to the objects of the organization, participated In by members from the dif ferent camps represented. The next reunion will be held at Glrard. vllle. The date ot the meeting has not yet been decided upon. For bargains In wall paper go to J. P. Carden, painter and paperhnnger, 234 W. Centre street.
