A number of the su gar and syrup camps In this vicinity have made from eighty to one hun dred gallons of maple syrup this season, that will help reduce Jhe want for cans and other makes of syrups on tne inarKet.

Disappointed because a large pool on a farm near the famous Hopewell Creek had been cleaned out by a party of trout anglers who learned of the secret, Colonel M. M. Mlssl mer, former District Attorney Jacob V. Gotwals, and Prothonbtary A. D. Hallman, returned to Pottstown with a lone trout andfcvlth the best fish story of the season. ' These anglers planned to wTUp the nearby trout streams and Invited Prothonotary Hallman, of Norrls town, to join them. A farmer near Hopewell has a large spring and in this spring there were1 about fifteen trout, some of which were thirteen Inches long. No one was ever al lowed to fish In this spring' and the place has been carefully watched by the argus-eyed farmer and his- men for years. The farmer promised to allow Colonel Mlsslmer, a veteran trout angler, and his party toi catch the trout and with this assurance the local anglers felt reasonably certain they would make a good catch as the spring Is not a large-one. The party would have returned to Pottstown with pretty specimens Of trout but another party of anglers learned of the spring, and stole a march. This second party left town about 1 o'clock in the morning and were at the spring before daylight. When dawn arrived they soon caught every trout in the pool and left and when Colonel Mlsslmer and his guests arrived they were dumfounded. It was a sad Inauguration to what they had hoped would be a success ful and auspicious trout season. So disappointed were they that they paid little attention to fishing, but after swapping fish stories they returned to Pottstown with a single trout. Colonel Mlsslmer, who besides fishing for trout, Is a magistrate In the ward told the story to a friend and he didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh for he admitted the Joke was "on him." If the , guilty parties can be dis covered arrests may be made. YOUNG TURKS UNOPPOSED. Rebel Army at Gates of Constantinople. CAN DICTATE TERMS Abdul Hamed Must Abdi cate or Yield.

This influenza which is so prevalent Is no respecter of persons, but visits both old and young, and every house Is more or less afflicted with It, and has re quired the services of a physician dally with little hopes of recovery, but at this writing there Is little Improvement in the most critical cases. Dr Gavltt, of White Mills, dally visits R. B. Davey and Thos. Treverton, and has also stopped at different places less frequently, viz: on Mr. and Mrs. Eberspacher, Chas. Barnes, and Mrs. Neal. The village school was closed all last week as the teacher, William Davey, was a victim of this disease. Several' schools around here have closed and the teachers will go to Honesdale or elsewhere to school. Others, we surmise, will enter into matrimony. We have no authority for this conclusion, only our obser vation. Mrs. Wheeler and son, Eddie, have gone to Port Jervla on a visit to her sister and other relatives. Mr Wheeler will be greatly missed although aged, as he has been a great care for a number of years, and his death has been dally ex pected. Changes are taking place. Geo. Taylor will occupy Prower Budd's new dwelling, to receive boarders this summer;, John Gorman and family have, moved into the Treat house, now owned by Amasa Keyes; Daniel Olver has bought a house and lot in the village of Matthew Olver, now occupied' by Dickinson andlfamlly. ; TwfilY,,'fir.;.f6urlten , ladies ,,me MAPLEWOOl).

Then to cap It all they were each assessed twenty cents each for mailing their papers, which seems like a graft for some one, when five cents per pupil Is the most ever charged heretofore.

The "un written law" will not figure In the trial of CaDtaln Peter O. Halns. Jr. U. S. A., for the murder of William E, Annls. The positive statement was made by John F.

"We do not intend to appeal to any unwritten law In this case," Bald Mr. Mclntyre, "and I Bhall Impress that fact upon the jury when I sum up, "Our defense Is one or insanity, pure and simple." Mr. Mclntyre said he would not call any alienists to show that his client was Insane, but would leave It to the Jury to decide as to his mental condi tion at the time of the shooting, District Attorney De Witt of Queens county, who is prosecuting the case, announced that he had retained three alienists to combat any testimony of Insanity which the defense might offer, The day's session was devoted to the examination of Jury talesmen. The prisoner was nervous and weary after the day in court. He showed marked Indifference during-all the proceedings and passed much of the time with his head bowed in his hands.

IS SUCCESSOR IS CHOSEN. a dttftxatlsc, explaining that he had amused oftce from patriotic motives at the moment, of 'a crisis in order to ave the country and constitution, which everybody beJUved to be en dangered by recent events,- He had been unable to prepare a program, he said, but was doing bis utmost to cope with tho situation. He counted upon the support of the deputies and was ready to withdraw if their confidence was withheld. He concluded by an nouncing tho signing of the Turko Bulgarian protocol. The new government at the capital has been conducting the administra tion for the past week with few or no changes In personnel. The war min istry under Edhem Pasha has been in active, except that appointments and promotions have been made to fill tho Vacancies caused by the killing of of ficers, which, it is estimated, number 200. There have heen nrnctlcnllv no nren- arntlous, so far as can be observed, to roslst the advance of the Salonlki troops. It Is announced officially that" the' deaths at Adana during the rioting numbered 400, among the killed being many Turks. The telegraph HneB to the provinces, however, are badly In terrupted, and details of the mussa- c'res nt Adann, Tarsus and other places are lucking. Constantinople, April 20. The most important feature of the situation In the Turkish capital was the report that Sultan Abdul Hamld bad abdi cated. It caused the greatest excite ment in the lobbies of parliament and spread with lightning-like rapidity throughout the city. A rumor of the flight of the sultan on a warship followed closely on that of his abdication, but neither could be confirmed. Large crowds gathered at the British embassy, where, other reports had It, the sultan had taken refuge, and there were also scores of Inquiries at the Russian embassy concerning the truth of the rumor that his majesty was un der the protection of Russia on one-'of its guardshlps. At both of these embassies all knowl edge of the sultan's movements was denied, and the Turkish foreign office also gave a strong denial to one and all of these rumors. The abdication of Abdul Hamld, however, appears to be imminent. The constitutiopallsts will accept as his successor Prince Yusslf Izzedln, the eldest' son of the late sultan, who Is second In line. The palace was un dor strong guard, and even high off! lals were not permitted to enter it. The advance of the constitutional forces contluued, and the advance guard Is at the gates of Constantino ple. They encountered no resistance, nor does any resistance seem likely unless at the palace. The headquarters of the constitutionalists' army are at Dedeagutch, and General Husnl Pa sha's forces, -which now number 48,000, occupy a range of hills about teu miles from the capital. Every hour re-en forcements are adding to their num bers. It Is not likely that the entire army will reach the capital today, as Husnl Pasha and his military associates deem it advisable to withhold their idvnnee until they are strong enough to win success by overwhelming num hers. They hope that the so called re actionary opposition will yield with out fighting. The bringing up of the re-enforce ments is under the direction of Nlazl Bey and Enver Bey. The civil dlrec tlon of affairs continues at Salonlki, at which place constant communication Is maintained with Constantinople. Mahmoud Mukhtar Pasha, who was commander of the First army corps and who at the time of the mutiny es caped to Sir William Whltball's house, bau Joined the constitutional army and is uow chief of staff. He is known aa a brilliant man, is forty-two years of age and was educated in Germany, It was Mukhtar Pasha who gave the orders to the First army corps that they must fire on any one, even the priests, which gave such deep offense to his coreligionists. Sultan Abdul Homed has no organ ised support and must yield or abdi cate. The advance of the Salonlki army makes the settlement of the ques tion of administration a matter of hours. The general belief is held that the enveloping movement will be com pleted by tentght or tomorrow. The soldiers of the garrison appear to be thoroughly eowed by the advance of the Third army corps, and the only cause for apprehension is the attitude of the fleet, which is held to be doubt ful. iEzet Pasha and other government delegatea who were sent to confer with the Salonlkins returned here and bad a long conference with the grand vi zier. All that la known of the result of the negotiations Is that the Salon iklns reiterated the demands already made and threatened to send five bat talions Into the city.
