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. He is to
testify, as it is contended that ho is
qualified to do in spite of tho fact that
ho is still legally insane, in the trial
of tho suit brought by Clifford W.
Hartrldgo against Mrs. Mary O. Thaw
to recover $01,000, alleged to bo a bal
ance duo for legal services on tho first
trial of Thaw for tho murder of Stan
ford White.
Thaw aud his mother appeared in
court, but were kept waiting until the
Jury wus obtained.
VOTINCJN ALLDS
Roll Call Begun In New
York State Senate.
SENATORS EXPLAIN VOTES.
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. Repub
licans; Payne, Cuffrey, Gardner, Wag
ner, Schulz, Democrats; total, ;t2.
Against Conviction Cullen, Cronin,
Frnwley, McManus, Grady, Itamsper
ger, Stilhvell. T. 1). Sullivan. C. D.
Sullivan. 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."

NEW CAPITOL IS
A WORK OF ART
Writer in Boston Paper Highly
Praises Beautiful Structure.
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. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is tho only constitutional cure on the
market. It Is taken Internally in
dosesfrom 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
It acts directly on tho blood and rauc
