Elsewhere we give the points on which counsel for the Italian mur derer John Barbuoto Intends to base an application for a new trial for the unspeakable wretch. Mr. Ful lerton's own statement concedes sufficient evidences of Barbuoto's guilt and the enormity of his crimes, to warrant stringing him to the nearest lamppost. It Is not denied that he was one of the murderous and lustful gang that lured an in nocent and trustful stranger and his bride, with another near relative, to their unutterably tragic and piti able fates, but it is held to be pos sible that the poor widow's story on the witness stand may have been so eloquent in Its description of the fiendish acts subsequent to the murder which she was obliged to witness, but for which specHic crime he was not then technically on trial, as to have prejudiced the Jury! Then it is gravely suggested that Mrs. Gaetano's positive assertion under oath that she saw Barbuoto Bhoot her husband is open to question, because the accused and convicted rulllnn who made her a widow, de nies that he llred the fatal shot! Which would be the most likely to tell the truth the disconsolate and innocent woman, whose every pre liminary statement and story of the tragedy was singularly verified at tue trial, or the condemned wretch, lighting, like a caged rat, for a pro longation of his worthless and Just ly forfeited life? me sooner the electric chair puts Barbuoto beyond the reach of maudlin sympathy, and the possibility of a miscarriage of iiitw throueh incenious technical- I ities, the better for the world. talnlng the school of statesmen of ; which Mr. La Follette is the chief The apparently useless vermiform i exemplar. In a recent speech in the appendix and the dreaded appendi-' Senate Mr. Penrose referred to the citis are of late having a close rival "exalted statesmanship" that had in disfavor in another lleshly exeres- j wasted four hours in the discussion fence known as adenoids; and oper- j of a proposed change in the Dingley ations for their removal, and by that law that might result in an addition means the nrevention of the ills of ' al cost of a few cents In the painting which they are the source, are warm-! ly recommended by leading physi cians. Adenoids are described as curious little cauliflower-like growths which appear at the Junction of the nasal cavity and the pharynx. They are often observed at birth, but they c-ni,in, nnnar. i isnnm t'nrr. until some months later. Then they interfere have conducted a hopeless and sense wlth respiration and cause the baby I less filibuster. They have not to be restless.

If adenoids are per- they have no expectation of doing niltteu to remain uiey ueiurm mouth, teeth, throat, chest and face. At their worst they produce pop-eyes and what is called a frog face. They cause mouth breathing, with all Its attendant evils. They open the way for a hundred and one ills, from rupture of the eardrum, running from the ears, coughs ana tonsilltis to pulmonary tuberculosis. A slight operation suffices to remove them. The baby suffers little pain and loses little blood. Out they come, and with them the overgrown tonsils that commonly accompany them, if they are suffered to re main they may never be discovered But it is certain that in one way i or another, directly or indirectly, they will cause damage, The State Game Commission is now engaged iu the investigation of one of the most malicious and un mitigated cases of cruelty and bird murder that has ever been brought to Its notice. Some time ago it came to the knowledge of the com mission that a farmer near Dewart, Northumberland county, was engag ed in poisoning all kinds of birds with doped food, and that so wanton was his destruction that he had lit erally slaughtered them by the thousands. Investigation proved that this had been done from pure malice. An agent found that the man had poisoned the birds in win ter, even when there was snow on the ground, and at a time when they could not possibly have been destruc tive. Another case of bird poisoning has been reported from near Parkes- burg, and this, too, will be Invest! gated. Each year there Is manifested a growing sentiment In favor of a big state fair to be held In Harrls- burg, or close to it, where the best exhibits of the county and locul fairs may he entered in state com petition. With such a central fair provided there could be assembled one of the finest exhibitions of farm, dairy and other products as well as stock In the country. Pennsylva nia, In spite of its prominence as an Industrial state, Is in the first half dozen states In the agricultural list and yet has no distinctly state fair where the products and stock can be brought together and compared You'd scarcely expect one of my age, in merchandising to engage and hope to get a paying trade without the local paper's, aid. And yet I did that very thing; I opened up a store last spring this month the sheriff took my stock and sold it ct the auction block. Don't viev me with a scornful eye, but simply say as I pass by: "There goes a fool who seemed to think he had no use for printer's ink." There is a truth as broad as earth and busi ness men should know its worth, tls simply this: The public buys its goods from those who adVertlso. The man in town thinks all a farmer has to do is to sit under a shade tree and watch things grow. The farmer thinks all a town man has to do is to sit behind tue counter or at the desk and rake In the money. This Is the reason that every farmer wants to move to town and every town man wants to move on a farm. It Is only the cropping out of the spirit of dissatisfaction, which leads men to think that every man's Job Is better than his own. At the annual meeting of the Sav ings Bank Association of the State of New York, Clark Williams, State Super intendent of Banks, said that 4 per cent, was too high a rate of interest for some of them to pay, and declared that his endeavors were.to secure a general re duction of the rate of interest in the in stitutions of the state. Mr. Williams said savings banks were semi-philanthropic institutions and were depositories of the savings of the provident poor. To these assertions no one will take exception. That is what they are, and not money making institutions beyond the amount necessary to pay the expenses of them and the interest on deposits offered as an inducement to the provident poor to save the surplus over their living ex panses. In a wise investment of the deposits these profits are made and they are made theoretically at a safe interest rate. If, as is Mr. Williams' contention, or, at least, the logic of it, he interest, given is too large, it will lead to unwise investments of the de posits in an endeavor to gain an inter est rate suflicient to pay expenses and the 4 per cent, to depositors. All of which would seem to be true. WAS H I XOTOX LKTT VAX. Washington, June 7. The "pro gressive" statesmanship of the Sen ate has proven a highly expansive luxury. It would be Impossible' to estimate the frightful cost of main- of a six-room house. The Pennsyl vania senator merely emphasized a condition with which the country gradually Is becoming familiar. For many weeks the "progressives" In the face of the urgent demand of the labor and capital of the United States for the enactment of a tariff bill this. They frankly admit that the hill the Senate wilj pass is the Com mittee's bill. But unmoved by the appeal of the man who has no work for action that will provide it, La Follette and his followers persist in their reckless obstruction. It Is no concern of theirs that the man with out work in time is certain to be without bread. The Dingley bill, which provided the most satisfactory tariff system this country has ever known, was constructed by the Finance Commit tee, of which Mr. Aldrich was then, as be is now, chairman. It encount ered no filibuster in the Senate. But that Senate had no Cumminses, La Follettes, Dollivers, Beveridges or Bristows. Its membership did not include one Chautauqua lecturer to abuse the senatorial privilege of un limited discussion for advertising for the next season's circuit. The bill U passed was not Impeded by the clam or of the LaFollette type of dema gogue. It diu not know the blight f "progressive" statesmanship. A demand for "downward" revision is the excuse of the obstructionists for delaying the tariff hill. They are unmindful of the fact that the na tional platform does not pledge the Republican party to "downward" 'nor to "upward" revision but to re vision that will operate to the ad vancement of all of the people. It is precisely that sort of revision the bill proposes. In reaching an agree ment upon such a measure Republl can members of Congress have yield ed their personal preferences and have Joined in a patriotic endeavor to give the country legislation that will protect the industrial, commerci al and agricultural interests and re duce the cost of living without re duclng the wages of the man who toils. That is the bill that ultimate ly will become a law, the bill that will open mills that now are idle and bring to labor a full day's employ ment, the bill that would be In effect to-day but for the LaFollette charla tans. It is hardly fair to compel the working men and women of this country to pay for the revel of the Senate destructionists The total fire loss in the United States In 1908 was ?1, 246, 002, 059 or 52.51 for every man in the coun try. And this did not Include trifle of $14,000,000 of damage done by forest fires. That the losses in European countries ran only from one-tenth to one-thirteenth as high as in our own would seem to Indicate that we have much to learn in the matter of protection from the flames Pongee, Taffeta, and Oitonian Cloaks and Jackets, at 45w0 MENNER & CO.'S THE MONTHLY COUNCIL MEETING The town council met in regular session at City Hall, on Thursday evening, June 3d, all the members being in attendance.

Mrs. Case had been a sufferer for a long time from married Miss Eleanor M. Todd, of liver complaint, which finally cul-1 Bloomlngburgh, X. Y and one year minated in her death. Mrs. Case, I after removed to Hawiey, where he who was fifty-six years of age, was had since lived. born at Pittston, Pa., and in the Mr. Thompson had- been a prom year of 1S76 was married to Wm. inent business man in Hawiey, all C. Case and lived at Hawiey for a I these years, and preserved his 'men few years, after which they moved tal and physical strength and buoy to Mongaup, where for many years, ant interest in affairs up to the Mr. Case was supervisor or over-1 very hour of his death. He first seer of a section of the Delaware & ' engaged in the meat business, and Hudson Canal. About eight years j then went into the employ of the ago, Mr. Case removed with his Pennsylvania coal company, a posi family to Port Jervis.

Oldfleld of Hawiey, and one sister, Selina Baldwin, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mrs. Case was a consistent, sincere and earnest Christian woman, and for many years a member of the Dutch Re- I formed church and a teacher in the Sunday school. Modest and unas - 'suming, she possessed that greatest virtue of womanhood, unswerving fidelity and loyalty to husband and family. She will be greatly miss ed. The funeral took place at 10 o'clock Monday morning, June 7th, at the residence on East Main street, after which the body was taken to Hawiey, where the Interment took place. Mrs. Lizzie Gilpin, a lady of ex ceptional personal worth and most amiable characteristics, who was greatly esteemed In the community i In which her presence had been a I continual benediction, died at her 1 home in South Sterling township, I this county, on Tuesday of last week, June 2, 1909, at the age of I fifty-one years. The deceased was a daughter of the late Lewis and ' Katherine (Heller) Simons, ofj Sterling, and was born in that township. She became the wife of James M. Gilpin, who, with four children, survives her. The daugh ters are Mrs. William Robacker, and Miss Ruth Gilpin, and the sons, Homer and Burton Gilpin, all of South Sterling. Mrs. Gilpin will be greatly missed not only as a kind neighbor and friend, but as an earnest worker for the interests of the M. E. church, of which she was long a consistent member, and of the Sunday school in which she served with great zeal and efficiency as a teacher. In the home circle and among those related to her by less intimate family ties, the de parture of this good wife, mother and friend is a bereavement beyond expression. Mrs. Gilpin suffered from an illness which eventually re sulted in an abscess in her right side, to relieve which she submitted to an operation. The result, al- thour'i at first apparently svrps?- ful, and affording temporary relief, proved of no lasting benefit, and she soon sank into an unconsclous- ness from which she failed to rally. The funeral services were held on Saturday at 2 o'clock, p. m., at the house, and later at the M. E. church, at South Sterling. Rev, David Evans and Rev. T. E. Web ster were the officiating clergymen. Mrs. Charity L. Manning, daugh-. ter of the late James and Charity (Wilder) Manning, of Bethany, and wife of Clayton E. Sweet, of New burgh, N.

Mr. Sweet was the senior member of the noted and highly prosperous firm of Sweet, Orr & Co., manufacturers of overalls and other men's cloth lng. A more comprehensive notice of the deceased husband and wife will appear in a later issue of The citizen DEATH OF JOHN H. THOMPSON'. A Hawiey correspondent furnishes us the following particulars of the death of Hon. John H. Thompson, a prominent resident of thnt borough, and a former representative of this district In the Legislature: Our town was greatly shocked last Thursday evening by the news of the sudden death of John H.

Friends came In to remove him ! to his home, and It is thought that i he expired on the way. The prob- able cause of death was acute in digestion. He had had a similar attack about two months previously, from which he had not fully recov ered. Mr. Thompson was born in Hope well. N. Y., July 30. 183.-1. He was the oldest of his father's family of 1 four children, and the only son, Mrs. Elizabeth Hicks, sister next younger than he, died at .Middletown, X. Y last fall.
