OUR COUNTRY : First. Last and Forever.
GovKitifou Stonk has cutdown the
school appropriation $1,000.00. It Is
estimated tlmt Schuylkill county will
be deprived of over $15,000 by the
'overnor's action.
John Shkhman will enter Ohio's
political light. Tennyson's brook,
that goes on forever. Is not a marker
to the man who fooled the obituary
poets.
An exchange points out some fan
cied points of resemblance between
Koosevelt and Fitnston, but Itoose
velt was a rough rider while Funston
is a smooth swimmer.
Thk members of the state editorial
association, according to the olllcial
announcement of Secretary Thomas,
will hold their summer outing at
Washington, D. O. The date decided
upon is the week beginning June 10th.
They will visit Mount Vernon and
other nearby points of interest.
thk JMortn American reaonetl our
table yesterday In an enlarged and
improved form. Our contemporary
passed under new management a few
months ago, and since then improve
ment in both mechanical and news
features has been marked, A site for
a new building on Broad street,
Philadelphia, has been secured, and
in the future the management prom
ises farther improvements. "We con
gratulate our contemporary upon its
success, and Its fearless editorial com
ment. Parnassus Borough, in Westmore.
land county, has been legislated out
of existence by an oversight on the
part of the last Legislature. The bor
ough was incorporated under what is
known as the Birmingham charter
act. The Legislature repealed this
act, but made no provision for the
government of the numerous bor
oughs of this state which secured
their charters under that piece of
legislation. As a result, all of these
boroughs are now without any legal
existence.
Talk is again heard of the proba
bility of an extra session of Congress
being held in the full. Suggestions
as to the necessity for Congress being
called before the regular time were
rife just prior to the close of the last
session, but, owing to the disposition
made of pending legislative measures
at the time, the idea of an extra ses
sion being held in the spring was at
length abandoned. Now the idea
seems to have gained currency again,
and, while nothing definitely has
been said by the President in refer
ence to the matter, certain intima
tions conveyed by him as to the de-
Biraoutty or the early return of cer
tain members of Congress who con
template going 'abroad are regarded
as more than hinting at the proba
blliry of an extra session being held.
There is an immense mass of import
ant proposed legislation pressing for
consideration, Including measures
crowing out of the war and others
relating to currency reform, the
Nicaragua canal, the merchant
marine, etc.
Private Letter Boxes Again.
Some time ago the Post Office
authorities decided to break up the
business of private letter boxes, con
ducted with great profit by hosts of
cigar store merchants and proprietors
of other establishments not usually
engaged in housing a hundred or so
guests in the larger cities. The de
partmeut gave as its reason that it
wished to break up all chances for
vice ; that the ouatom had resulted in
a spread of immorality, and that It
ought to be stopped. And it stopped
the system right there, refusing to
deliver mail to addresses of private
letter box concerns.
At the time it was pointed out tiiat
a vast sum of money was made in the
aKgregate by the keepers of these
stores. The oity of New York has
taken this tip. Private letter boxes
are to flourish once more. But the
city is to reap the reward. It is
planned to equip all branch stations
with private boxes, for which the
users shall be oharged a sum which
in the total will mean an annual
fortune.
The city department gives as its
reason for the innovation that "since
the closing of the private boxes hard
ship has been Inflicted on many per
sons who had legitimate use for such
conveniences." Bnt the department
isn't going to let these same persons
do business in the old way. Ah, no.
They mns pay the freight to the

Now York, May 16. That Now
York's welcomo to Admiral Dowoy Is
to bo conducted on a grand Bcalo was
eliown ysitel'day when the Joint com
mittee of the city councils decided to
call on the municipal nuaembly to au
tliorUe an appropriation of $lu0,000
for the city's tart m u10 wciCOmo.
Mayor Van Wyck heartily approves of
bucIi an appropriation. Resolutions
providing for the expenditure of this
amount were Introduced In each
branch todny. Tho charter mnkos It
necessary that these resolutions be re
ferred to tho flnanco aommlttoe. Thoy
will bo reported upon' favorably next
week, and will probably bo adopted
without a dissenting vote. It was de
cided that the official roceptlon shall
be held on the day nfter Admiral
Dewey arrives.
Tho governor of onch state will bo
Invited to attend and each state asked
to send n reglmont or two of Its na
tional guard.
Tho route of tho naval parndo as
now planned is from Quarantlno or
from Tompklnavlllo, through tho har
bor, then up tho North river to Grant's
tomb. Here, it Is expected, Admiral
Dewey will leave tho Olympla. After
visiting Uie tomb ho will pass tho
thousands of soldiers and marines that
arc to take part In tho land parade.
Those soldiers arc to be lined up on
either sldo of tho route that will be
followed in reaching city hall. At
city hall, where a reviewing stand will
bo erected, the admiral will bo pre
sented some beautiful tribute from tho
city, yet to be decided upon.
Mayor Van Wyck and all tho mem
bers of the joint committee bellove
that everything done for Admiral
Dewey while he Is horo should be dono
officially. Tho mayor does not look
with favor .on tho plan for tho f 10,000
prlvato dinner. As to tho banquet that
the city will offer, that Is a detail yet
to be arranged.

Chicago, May 16. Judge Peter S.
Grosscup's condition Is serious, al
though, according to his physician and
relatives, It Is not necessarily danger
ous. Besides being afflicted with gas
tric fever he has Bymptoms of typhoid.
Dr. Frank Billings returned yesterday
from the bedside of the patient at tho
home of his parents in Ashland, O.
He stated that while Judge Grosscup
was a very sick man, ha did not think
there was anything to be alarmed
about at present, "unles complications
arise."

Clenfuegos, Cuba, May 1G. About 5
o'clock last evening a gang of Cuban
dock laborers called on Captain Bar
ker, captain of the port, and made a
demand for back pay. As they wero
violent Captain Barker drew his re
volver. The laborers retired, but soon
returned with 60 others and made a
similar demand, using obscene and
profane language, Insulting Captain
Barker and offering threats. The Cu
ban police were ordered to arrest the
malcontents, and a general street fight
followed, in which one laborer was
killed and seven persons wounded, In
cluding three members of tho police

What Shall We Do.
A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep
tive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning sensation, Uie
flow of urine beiug copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
uavel and the water passage, increasing de
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
pasjing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stapc is Brigbt's Disease.
There is comfort in -knowing that Dr,
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
Specialist, lias discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvelous cures of the most distressing
cases aud known as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root.
It is sold by all druggists.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of this
great discovery, Swamp-Root, a sample bottle
and book of valuable information will be sent
absolutely free by mail on application to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When

mal notice of such was received yes

in tho form of a communication from
the foreign office, London, through As
sistant Secretary of State Hill.
Tho invitation to the British govern
ment was sent out through tho Btato

were sent Invitations to every British
colony. The invitations to the colonies
numbered 35, thero being that number
of English colonial governments.
Tho exposition authorities feel con

of tho 35 colonlos, each of which wa3
