HO, 11)10. Tho Ground Hog is n fraud. He can't guess any better than Hicks. The reason for sowing is ap proaching Let us all prepare to scatter ecciIb of kindness, sow abund antly that we may reap a large har vest of true happiness, nnd have our garners overflowing with peace and good will, and we can heap our measures with malice toward nonti and charity for all. When the -trees begin to blossom, and the violets to bloom; when the bullfrog in the meadow warbles boom-ah-boom ah-booin; when ducks are flying northward and bright butter-flies are out, nnd when the robins go housekeeping In the broken wa ter spouts; when grasshoppers are hopping, and black bats come out at night, and venture in your bedroom attracted by tho light, when birds fly down tho chimney, and hens walk in the door, beetles hold conventions in the center of the floor; when the mud is o'er your shoe top as you cross the new ploughed land you may count on it certain, sweet spring is near at hand. One of the members of our bar while addressing the jury in a case which was tried at this session of court, spoke of the "last days of eternity." It was probably a slip of the tongue but It proved to be a good one, for it was a mental suggestion that so absorbed the minds of the jurors who, in their attempt to mentally digest this thought and fig ure out how far off these last days were, that they failed to under standingly grasp the charge of the Judge, and consequently gave a ver dict which was about as incompre hensible to those who hearu the charge as the last days of eternity. Be progressive. Do not wear your life away struggling along in the old ruts that your forefathers cut so deep by continual travel. While they are good in their way and no doubt con sidered safer, yet the wheels of your vehicle turn so slowly that you are left far behind by your more pro gressive fellow travelers. Keep a-moving, and a-pushing and a-erowd-ing toward the front. You'll not much more than hold your place in tho procession the best you can do. Tho men at the front these days are those of brains and energy com bined. You have a place there if you will hustle for it. If you don't hus tle your place will be taken by tho fellow who does. Be alive. The season of the year Is now at hand when tho average boy, that Is too poorly to chop an arm load of wood, or spade a small patch of ground in tho garden, thinks noth ing of turning upside down all the ground in the back yard in search of worms for fish halt and walking five miles to go fishing and thinks it fun. The young lady that can walk up and down tho streets from early morn till evening, calling on friends and gossiping about the neighbors and her beaux while hor mother does tho cooking and washing, at home, ia Just as smart as the averago boy and Is no better. Both are at par with the-man who spends his time Idling around tho stores, talking politics beeauso his wife is cleaning house; all three however, are neces sary nuisances and have to bo toler ated. Man that is born of woman is of few days and many growls. When tho spring comes, gentle Annie, and tho rain waters tho earth ho com plalneth because of tho mud and a few weeks later his soul is grieved because of tho exceeding muchness of tho dust. In tho winter ho cry eth it is too cold, and in tho summer ho .would fain join an Arctic expedi tion that ho may oscapo from tho summer heat. When tho sun shineth brightly It hurtoth his eyes and when it hldeth behind a cloud it glveth him tho blues. When tho wind bloweth ho curseth tho cyclone, and when it stoppoth Joy departeth from him nnd ho raoaneth, O, givo us a breezo. Yes, verily there is nothing which satlsfleth man. Ho coraeth Into this world crying, and ho leaveth it grumbling. And this, too. is vanity. On Tuesday morning, n largo number of tho employees of tho cutting shops in tho borough, for causes best known to themselves, de termined tb take a vacation. They assembled at tho up-town brldgo, nnd there formed In procession nnd mnrched down town to their head quarters. They proved their good citizenship by their orderly conduct, nnd won the respect of all who ad mire manly men. Tho differences that arise between employers and employees nre of such a character that outsiders cannot grasp them with sufficient intelligence to express an opinion that will do justice to both sides, and to array yourself on the one side or other Is only "adding fuel to a flame," which on calm re- flection may be quenched by parties most interested. Our hope Is that bitterness of feeling may bo ell' mlnated, sober judgment prevnll, and an amicable adjustment be arrange ed. By all means let no one be in discreet enough by word or by act to widen the breach. Let us have peace, and have it soon. After reading accounts in the newspapers of tho great scandals In political circles, one cannot help but feel that the great need In this country at present is men; men who are honest, sound from center to cir cumference; true to the heart's core; men who will condemn wrong in friend or foe, in themselves as well as others; men whose conscience are as steady as the needle to the pole; men who stand for the right if the heavens totter and the earth falls; men who never flag nor flinch; men that have courage without shouting; men in whom the currents of ever lasting life run still, deep and strorlg; men who do not cry or spoil their voices to be heard on the streets but who will not falter or be discouraged, till judgment be set on earth; men who will not He-men who are not too lazy to work nor too proud to be poor; men who have the pluck to fight the crowd for the crowd's own good. THK OUTLOOK. The further, the new year ad vances the brighter becomes tho out look for an excellent business. JCspecially encouraging is the agri cultural outook at this time when we are entering the first spring month. Within four months from the flrst of March there will be sown or planted 250,000,000 acres of land, to say nothing of tho other acreage under cultivation, making In all about 500,000,000 acres of improved farm land. In the course of a few months more, the yields from these sources, if the usual rate of improve ment 'continues, may aggregate In total farm value fully $9, 000, 000, 000. There are three forces that propel business politics, money and crops. Of these the latter two are the most Important ones. National politics may have clouded the outlook a lit tle, but money is cheap and agricul tural prospects are fine. Soil conditions, after a rather se vere winter, are probably as good as at any time in several years. Next to the supply of working capi tal and labor, and a good condition of soil, is the infusion of a more scientific- spirit, a greater technical mastery, and an over-coining enthus iasm into the business of farming. High prices have exalted tho occupa tion to a prosperity level nnd given it new confidence. Never have the colleges of agriculture, or tho agri cultural departments of state and nation, or the railway leaders Inter ested in rural progress, gone quite so far as in the past year to build up a national agriculture on per manent, progressive and far-seeing lines. These forces are bound to toll in the outcome of 11)10. The busi ness world has no anchorage qulto so sure as this In making Its calcula tions for tho year ahead. From what ever standpoint tho outlook for tho balance of 1010 may be Judged at present, there is nothing in tho situ ation to discourngo business, from advertising. THAW LET OUT TO TESTIFY. Five Keepers and an Asylum Doctor Act as His Escort. New York, March 29. Harry K. Thaw came down from Mattcawan in tho custody of live keepers and ac companied by Dr. Kieb of tho Asylum For tho Criminal Insane.

Question as to Guilt of Accused Member to Be Settled Before Night Wider Inquiry Next. Albany, N. Y., March 20. The vote on the-declslon of the senate regardlup the chnrges of Senator Bcnn Conget against Senator .Tothain I'. Allds begat) nbout noon today and dragged alonp during the nftcrnoon hours. The general opinion is that It would not lie finished before nightfall. There nre forty-nine senators thirty-three Republicans and sixteen Democrats to vote on the question, and there are nt least thirty of them anxious to ex plain their votes. The question on which the voting is being done is "Are the chnrges made by Senator Benn Conger that Senntor Jothnm I Allds demanded and re ceived $1,000 to kill certain legislation in 1901 sustained?" The Hughes senators have made u canvass of the senate nnd predict the conviction of Allds by n vote of 35 to 14. Senator Allds' friends say that their canvass Indicates a vote of 2S in favoi of Allds and 21 ngalnst him. As there are forty-nine senators, it will require twenty-five votes to convict. This forecast of the vote was pre pared by an Allds "senator who has made a careful poll: For Conviction Agnew, Allen, Alt. Brackett, lirough, Burlingame, Coats, Cobb, Cordts. Davenport, Davis, Em erson, Gledhlll, Griilith, Hamilton, Hewitt, Hill, Hinmaii. Kissel, Macken zie, Meade. Newcomb, Plntt, Hose, Schlosser, Travis, Walnwright.

Democrats; Grattan, Hen cock, Holdeu, AVhlte and possibly Hubli(s Republicans: total. 15. Senator Gledhill of Kings said: "During the recess my telephone bell has been rung over fiOO times by con stituents, who, before I had a chance to say anything, gave me warning. 'You know Allds is guilty. Fire him out, and throw Conger out too.' " Senator Alt of Kings recited a sim ilar tale. He said: "My district asso ciation udopted resolutions practically directing me to vote to throw out both Allds and Conger. I never wa"s so bombarded as I have been during the pnst seventy-two hours." The legislature now faces the prob lem of ordering a broad investigation of charges of alleged 'legislative cor ruption in recent years. As soon as tho verdict In the Allds case is ren dered it Is expected that either the Newcomb or the Walnwright resolu tion providing for an inquiry by a spe cial legislative committee will be called up. Senator .1. Mayiiew Walnwrlght's measure provides for the appointment of a committee of three senators and live assemblymen to inquire into the intimation by Senntor Benn Conger's counsel that certain brldgo companies raised a corruption fund in lDOI). The committee would be the appointees of the lieutenant governor and tho speaker. Senator Josinh T. Newcomb's resolu tion of Investigation names the mem bers of the committee, Including Sena tors Davis, Walnwright, Davenport and Schulz and Assemblymen Wel mert of Erie, Dana of New York, Rob erts of Onondaga, Short of Richmond and Chauler of Dutchess. It provides: "Said committee shall, among other things, examine tho testimony and re ports of nil investigations within the state under the authority of the legis lature or either branch thereof or of the governor during tho lust ten yenrs or which miiy now bit In progress nnd shall make a sepnrnie finding in tho case of each of said investigations whether any corrupt practices to Influ ence legislation In the state of New York are disclosed by the testimony and reiwrts aforesaid." Prominent members of tho Repub lican party have placed themselves on record In favor of a searching inquiry into every charge of corruption In con nection with the legislature In tho last few years. On, tho other hand, a sub stantial number of members of the leg islature will oppose a subsequent in Testigatlon unless the inquiry involves members of the present legislature or is designed to form the basis of cor rective legislation. Surely the Limit. A friend was once talking with a crazy woman, whon a stingy man passed by. "Do you boo that mun," eald sho, with cunning smile. "You could blow his soul through a humming-bird's bill, Into a mosquito's eye, and the mosquito wouldn't wink."

The Christian Scienco Monitor, a Boston dnlly newspaper, has Just published a fine illustrated descrip tion of tho Capitol of Pennsylvania. The following nre Interesting ex tracts: "Becnuso a legislative Investigation was necessnry to determine tho extent of nnd responsibility for certnln nl leged over-charges in connection with the new Pennsylvania State Capitol, a structure of many surpass ing qualities has been denied that placo In general public estimation which otherwise would have been ad corded to it. "The almost unvarying verdict of daily throngs of appreciative visitors and the general correction Influence of passing years "have served some what to counteract the false impres sion that had gone forth, nnd it is only a matter of time, no doubt, un til this beautiful structure will be accorded the recognition to which It Is Justly entitled. "The writer was connected with the cnpltol Investigation commission and is, therefore, In a position to speak with some knowledge of tho facts. The commission employed the best experts obtainable, and their findings was in substance that the structure strictly speaking, was be yond criticism, but that too much money has been paid for furnishings and fixtures. The permanent fea tures of the capitol were found to be, as a rule, not only of good material, but of first-class workmanship and artistic excellence. Competent crit ics have said that there is nothing to compare with the Pennsylvania State Capitol in the United States among buildings of its class, though In some Instances the cost has been greater even than here. "That the reader may be set right it is necessary to refer briefly to the charges of fraud In connection with this building. These charges related exclusively to the work done, not un der the capitol building commission, the authorized construction body, nit under the board of public grounds and buildings, which is the property board of the State, charged with the upkeep of the public buildings, the making of repairs, purchase of furni ture and supplies, and other similar duties "The only purpose in referring to these unpleasant things here is that not otherwise may bo corrected the erroneous impression that tho Penn sylvania Capitol is a shoddy and flimsy affair instead of the substan tial, dignified and beautiful structure that it actually is. "Whatever may have been the shortcomings of Architect Joseph M. Houston from a business standpoint, he has here erected that which for many generations will attest a high order of architectural skill and artis tic judgment. "Unlike many buildings the Penn sylvania State Capitol was begun and completed under a single administra tion; hence it is consistent and har monious throughout and lacks the piecemeal appearance that has mar red some other notable structures, upon various portions of which have been stamped the conflicting Ideas of succeeding managements." There Is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be Incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and proscribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to euro with local treatment, pronounced It Incurable. Science lias proven catarrh to bo a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J.
