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, The Honesdale District.

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. OBITUARY.
