WENESDAY, MARCH 31, 1009.
Much space has been devoted in local
journals during the past week to the
proceedings of the Wyoming Methodist
Episcopal Conference, which has just
losed its labors at Tittston. To many
it is not known that the-Methodist Epis
copal church is the largest religious body
among American Protestants having a
centralized authority. Baptists rank
higher numerically, but their policy is
congregational. The Methodist Episcopal
ohurch, as statistics for 1008 show, has
10,430 ministers, 14,7411 local preachers,
ml 3,:t"(l,88H members, including !M8,-
073 on probation. In Methodist Sunday
schools nre 3,088,248 pupils and 3111,(107
dicers and teachers ; deaths during 1008,
321 ministers and 41,813 members. There
were 217,095 baptisms during the year,
115,003 being adults. Methodist church
and parsonage property has a value of
$19r,700,000, with debts of $13,500,000.
Of tho total about one-Blxth represents
the value of parsonages, while the value
f the churches is five-sixths of the total.
To home and foreign missions, Metho
dists last year gave $3,153,702, including
all other denominational benevolences,
the total gifts amounted to $3,700,573.
Salaries paid to ministers, district super
intendents and bishops during the year
amounted to $14,004,303, and $405,703
was paid to superannuated preachers
and tho widows of ministers. The
amount spent by Methodist churches for
their running expenses is estimated at$0,
202,000. Duriug the past year the Metho
dist church received 81 ministers from
other'Protestant bodies.
Judge Ciiarlkh W. Staplkh, of the
Pike-Monroe district, in a recent deci
sion based on the claim of a Justice of
the Peace for mileage, when acting as
coroner, tool; occasion, in denying the
obligation of the county, to call atten
tion of all Justices of the Peace of Pike
county (in which the case was brought)
to the fact that hereafter no report of
any Justice of the Peace, in said coun
ty, of viewing tho body of a decedent,
will be approved unless there appears in
the report itself, as follows : the circum
stances under which the deceased died,
or how he was found dead ; that there
were suspicious circumstances connect
ed with the death, which warranted the
viewing of the body ; (No report of view
ing a body will be approved by the
Court unless thero were some suspicious
circumstances which called lor the view.
The mere fact that a man dies suddenly
and not under suspicious circumstances,
is insufficient for a view, and no view of
this kind will be approved, nor will a
view be approved where it is apparent
from all the circumstances that the body
viewed is that of a man who committed
suicide) ; a report as to what apparently
is the cause of the man's death. Unless
these rules are complied with, no report
will be approved and therefore no fees
will be allowed.
A TOUGH APRIL PROMISE.
The original "Coles the Weather Man"
of "Storms and Signs" celebrity, died
long ago, but his prophetic soul goes
marching on ; his daughter happening
to be standing beneath when his mantle
fell. To-morrow is the first of April,
and she promises us the following busi
ness and climatic ups-and-downs during
the coming month. "All Fools Day"
being set down as a low ebb day, which
is understood to be one of tho unlucky
sort, it 'will perhaps be well for people
to look before they kick when they come
across a tempting looking hat on the
sidewalk ; and pause before they grab at
at plump pocket boqks lying around
promiscuous like. The month, on the
whole, promises to bo a pretty tough
one, according to her say-so, but we are
thankful that she gives us five good fish
ing days, when we may get away from
the carking cares of business, if we can.
If she had only told us which were the
best brooks to fish in, wo should have
felt additionally grateful. Hero is how
she poetically introduces tho 4th month:
"Now tho balmy breath of nature
resurrects tho sleeping leaves, and tho
busy feathered masons chirp and twitter
neath the trees. Easter is coming above
and beneath and around ; the sleep of
the Winter is broken, and .breaks forth
in jubilant sound. April starts in on a
"low ebb" day. In all there will be
thirteen "low ebb" days, namely: the
1st. 2d, 3d, 4th, 10th, 11th, 18th, 10th ;
20th, 28th, and 29th. Speculation mar
kets will be active and changeable. The
month is not a fortunate one for start
ing new enterprises; there will be a
great deal of wrangling and discord
wherever there is the least chance for it,
much discontent among the laboring
classes. Half of April will feel, more or
less tho disturbing influence of Earth's
equinox. Until tho winter conditions
are well broken up and dispersed there
is constant conflict between the electri
cal energies and the cold atmospheric
currents. Hence, be prepared for April
showers, intermingled with hot and dry
days, thunder and hail, turning to cold,
and with frost and snow squalls. See
Storms and Signs calendar. The great
est storm period will occur on or about
the 4th. 13th, and 10th. Tho best days
for fishing will be tho 14th, 16th, lOtb,
17th and 24th."
Crisis Safely Passed.
France is to bo congratulated on its
narrow escape from revolution and
bloodshed. Tho strike of its government
postal and telegraph employees was a
most serious matter, and it shows that
governments are no more exempt than
private firms from labor troubles. To
be sure strikes are less frequent in gov
ernment establishments, but when they
do occur they are likely to bo more
formidable because of the greatness of
the interests affected.
The recent strike in Paris and other
large centers must have caused immense
losses to business, for the non-delivery of
millions of letters and hundreds of thous
andspf telegrams paralyzed communica
tions between one point and onother.
The government seems to have shown a
wise and firm moderation, and its hands
were assuredly strengthened by the vote
of confidence given it by Parliament.
That the government has safely pass
ed through so great a crisis is evidence
of the growing stability of tho French
people. The Republic has now lasted
for 30 years, a much longer period than
any previous government In a hundred
years. The well-nigh kaleidoscopic fre
quency with which revolutions and
changes of government used to take
place before tho inauguration of tho
present republic made France somewhat
of a laughing stock. Happily for that
nation and the world those experiences
are ended.
Municipal House Cleaning.
At this season, when most houses are
undergoing their annual spring cleaning
and renovating, why not extend the work
to include the city or town? Attractive
as many places are we have never yet
seen one that does not admit of more
embellishment. Waste places cleaned
up, alleys and vacant lots relieved of old
cans, broken bottles and other 'rubbish,
trees trimmed and others planted where
necessary, parks and other public places
put in good order and better provided
with seats and other conveniences these
are some of the ways in which tho "city
beautiful" may be realized. The money
cost of such improvements is usually
small, the principal outlay being in time
and labor. In very many places some
enthusiastic and wise co-operation of
the municipal authorities and citizens
generally is sufficient to produce a trans
formation. It has already done so in
many communities. A slipshod, down
at-heel appearance in a community is
no more excusable than the samecondi
tion in a home.
Nature's Testimony.
In these days when afforestation is
deservedly receiving so much attention
it is well to note the effect of forests
upon the rainfall. Tho felling of thetim
ber in Malta and the Cape Verde Islands
reduced the rainfall, while it was increas'
ed in the island of St. Helena as the re
suit of increasing the forests. The plant
ing of 20,000',000 trees of various kinds
in Lower Egypt has changed a well nigh
desert into a fruitful region with an
abundant rainfall. The same result wilt
doubtless be be seen in the semi-arid sec
tions of this country as trees are planted.
Evidently nature is extremely sensitive
and is easily affected one way or the
other according as conditions are favor
able or unfavorable.
The pension bill for Pennsylvania sol
diers will be reported out of committee
within a day or so, in such shape as will
probably meet with the approval of the
House and Senate. While this does not
mean that it will be passed, or that the
Governor will sign it, if passed, it will
be of interest to our soldiers to know
that something is being done in this di
rection. The important changes made
in the bill as it was originally read are :
Pensions will be paid .only to those whose
annual income from other sources does
not exceed five hundred dollars. Those
who served sixty days will be included
Pensions will date from Dec. 1st, 1909,
and tho first payment will be made Jan
1st, 1910,

Early Completion of Far
view Hospital a Necessity
HALF MILLION APPROPRIATION.
Why It Should.be Passed Sep
arate Asylum for Criminal In-
sane Great Benefit to
All Concerned.
We arc pleased to note the fact that
influential journals throughout the State
aro opening their columns t6 arguments
in favor of the early completion of the
State Hospital for the Insane at Far
view and urging the Legislature to pass
the pending bill asking for funds to vig
orously prosecute the work. The Phila
delphia Inquirer recalls the fact that the
Legislature of 1005 provided foi "thu
selection of a site and tho erection of a
State Hospital for the treatment and
caro of the criminal insane." Commis
sioners purchased a site at Furview,
Wayne county, adopted plans and pre
pared to construct the building. They
were long ago halted for lack of funds.
A bill before the present Legislature
calls for $.500,000 for the prosecution of
the work. That bill should be passed.
It is high time that more attention should
be given the necessary State institutions
and less to privately conducted charities
that were paid $0,500,000 of the people's
money by the Legislature of two years
ago.
There is plenty of evidence that this
institution if needed. Such hospitals
had the indorsement of the National
Conference of Charities and Corrections
held in June, 1007, and the Pennsylva
nia delegation to that conference strong
ly recommended the establishment of a
hospital in this State. The State of New
York maintains two such hospitals, one
at Matteawan and the other at Danne
mora. These institutions at present con
tain about 1,400 inmates. The States of
Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Mass
achusetts have each large andi carefully
conducted asylums for the criminal in
sane. Ohio lias under contract buildings
for a like purpose.
In gathering statistics from the court
records of the different counties of a
State bearing on the criminal insane a
person might be led to believe that they
are comparatively few in number. This,
however, is not the method to adopt to
ascertain the actual number incarcerated.
Most of the patients placed in hospitals
for criminal insane become insane while
serving a sentence for some criminal of
fense. Tho law in all the States having
asylums for criminal insane is : "If any
person in confinement, under indictment
for the crime of arson, murder, attempt
at murder, rape, attempt at rape or
highway robbery shall appear to be in-
sane, the Judge of the circuit court in
which such indictment is pending shall
have power summarily to inquire into
the sanity of mich person, and if ascer
tained to be insane they shall be trans
ferred to a hospital for criminal insane."
Every superintendent of a State asylum
is an earnest and enthusiastic advocate
of a separate asylum for the criminal in-
sane, as the presence of such inmates is
a perpetual dread in an ordinary asylum.
The recent escape of the three convict
maniacs from the Norristown asylum,
after murdering their keeper, is a strong
argument in favor of separate asylums
for criminal insane.
By the common consent of neurologists
there is no class of insane so amenable
to treatment or who profit so much by
proper custodial care and treatment as
the criminal insane.
The benefit done by the separate care
and treatment of criminal insane is two-
fold. The patient himself receives a
treatment peculiarly beneficial for him,
and the inmates of other institutions are
freed from their menacing presence.
Pennsylvania has always occupied the
first place in the science of medicine and
the proper caro and treatment of the
mentally afflicted, and if it wishes to
continue holding that proud eminence it
should make the Farview Asylum the
greatest in this country.
At present thero are over five hundred
criminal insane in the State of Pennsyl
vania.
Through tho Suffkind real estate agency
of Now York, the J, W. Flynn farm, with
hotel and cottages in Manchester town
ship, has been sold to Frank and Martin
DeBreun of that city. The property
comprises about 250 acres of practically
all improved land, including the fine
Union Xake, formerly known as Lord's
pond, two commodious hotels and two
cottages, all built with reference to the
accommodation of city boarders. The
purchasers .intend in addition to the
hotel business to manage a stock farm,
and will pay particular attention to choice
breeds. Martin DeBreun is connected
with the Hamburg-American line of
steamers, but expects to spend much of
his time in Manchester. One or the
other of the brothers will be on the place
all the time. Tho Flynn property was
bought of LeviTeeple, by Dowe & Flynn,
in October; 1003, but the partnership
was soon dissolved, Mr. Flynn buying
Mr, Dowe's interest at a partition salo.
A year ago, real bstato agent Suffkind
also disposed of the Braman property to
a city purchaser on favorable terms.
