Bring the news to this office. Wc are always glad to have our subscrib ers send or bring us items of news. Send in anything but politics and we shall be thankful. It pays to read the advertisements of enterprising home merchants. They are the people who make it pos sible to have conveniences right at your door, so to speak. A lawyer will give five minutes of advice on any one topic, and charge you $5 for it. An editor will give you advice on a hundred different topics and charge you but 5 cents for it. And very often 5 cents given to an editor will save ?5 given to a law yer. We heard on the street the other day of a man who claimed he was too poor to take his home paper but all the same he read a notice in one of our county papers telling how to prevent a horse from slobberjng, and Bent ?1.50 for .recipe. When the 51.50 worth of information came it said: "Teach your horse how to spit." An exchange tells of a newspaper reporter who interviewed thirty suc cessful business men and found that all of them when boys had been gov erned strictly and frequently thrash ed. He also interviewed thirty loaf ers and learned that twenty-seven of them had been "mamma's darling," and the other three had been reared by their grandmothers. Read the announcements of your merchants in this issue. Many a dollar has been saved by a careful perusal of a merchant's ad. When a business man advertises for your patronage he not only has a lino of goods that "speaks" but there may be some article or articles listed that you desire and that it may be advan tageous to buy at this time. It is an old saying that the Ameri can people love to be humbugged. We are reminded of this Dy seeing agents canvassing our county with packages of dry goods. These pack ages are sold for various prices. Peo ple forget how extremely low all classes of goods are at the present tlnvo and fall easy victims to the traveling humbugs. They couiu buy a much better class of goods of our honest home merchants for less mon ey. These city sharks travel through the country and make a fortune out of shoddy goods. A word to the wise should be sulllcient. The goods they sell are dear at any price. TO HHVOLl'TIOXI.H MILITARY TACTICS OF STATU. Pennsylvania guardsmen are look ing forward with keen Interest to the result of experiments to bo made with a novel device for determining the location and movement of san guinary bodies in the field, at tho forthcoming manouvres of the stato militia. The demonstration of its practica bility for the purpose employed, will, it Is said by military experts, revolu tionize modern military tactics. If Napoleon had had It at Watorloo, history might record a different re sult to that world famous battle. Tho device is known and Is used throughout this country and In Eu ropo by banking and business estab lishments for the purpose of facili tating between distant points of a building with which It is equipped. Tho United States Secret Servico has employed tho Instrument In Its work for several years, as havo tho Stand ard Oil and many othor large busi- ncsa institutions. For some tltno the Governors of the states of Minn esota and lllllnols havo been using It in the Executive, mansions at St. Paul and Springfield and say it has per formed wonderful work for them. It is the dread ot politicians since it enables tho executive In those states, , If so disposed, to keep record, with- out the knowledge of visitors, of every unusual request made by them. ' . .... , , 1 Its application to mil iary work Ibi a new phase of Its manifold possible ' uses. Members of the general staff of the army nt Washington and of tho state militia are convinccu inni the highly sensitized Instrument will lend Itself particularly to tho Im portant function to be assigned to It nt the stato manouvres. The instrument magnifies sound ten to twelve octaves, and in com mercial life Is used by busy men to transmit their orders to suborulnates in other parts of the building, while seated at their desks or while walk ing about tholr room, without be ing obliged to talk Into a telephone transmitter. The instrument enn take up a whisper made several feet away from it. This peculiar virtue gives it distinct value to the work , f tl.n ulnniil nnt nvtlfirlt! Alii- itary tnrtkinns in nil countries have , long sought an instrument that , would give them some dellnite infor mation concerning the movement of opposing troops. Knowledge of the concentration of a large force on one Hank or another Is Invaluable to the General wishing to avert disaster to his troops, when the vulnerable spot in his ranks is made tho object of special attack by the enemy.

Practically All of the Pennsylvania Company's Miners Resume Work. Wllkesbarre, Pa., June 0. Practical ly ail of the 12,000 striking mine work ers of the Pennsylvania Coal company have returned to work. The remaining few who objected to the terms of the settlement, finding they were In the minority, were prevailed upon to re turn to work today so as to make the ending of the strike complete. The miners' union executive board has called for a sessldn with commit tees from each of the nine collieries at Plttston tomorrow night. At this meet ing tin committee will present the grievances of the miners they repre sent, and then General Manager W. A. May of the Pennsylvania Coal com pany will be nsked to take up the dis putes at once and secure a settlement. There is great rejoicing among the business men of Plttston, Duryea and this city over the ending of the strike. VETOES PRIMARY BILL. Governor Hughes Refuses to Sign the Meado-Phillips Measure.

With tho reassem bling of parliament there was n re vival of the rumor that the Duko of Counaught will succeed Earl Grey as governor general of Canada. It Is stated that the duke is eager to obtain tho appointment. A CURIOUS COMMUNITY Tie Smallest of Ancient ChUICrlGS. Special to Tho Citizen. ,, . , Palestine Is a small country and it , fu of anclcnt churches, but 1 ,mve beon to.d(lJ. tQ the Bynngoguc of R rellglous body whch cold JuBtly cmm ,0 bo nt onco tho smncst ,n the world and to have maintained the longest continuous organized ex istence. It Is the place of worship of tho Samaritans nt Nnblous, tho ancient Shccein, near the moun tains of Ebel and Gerlxim, where the law with Its blessings and curses was read to the Israelites as they enter ed upon tho possession of the Prom ised Land. Nnblous Is said to be the most fanatical of the Moslem cities of the Holy Land. Wc were made constant ly aware of this fact by the children on the street, who doubtless reflected acowled but tho youngstera shook their grimy fists iu us and made indecent gestures to show how they despised us or shouted after us tho opprobrious word "Nosrani" Nazarene. But our dragoman had provided a rear guard, so wo were not attacked from behind. Furthermore, just as we were starting out there occurred an exciting arrest. Three men were taken into custody for going too close to some veiled .Moslem women. done of ate yearB( especially since the new Turkish Constitution, but visitors are often annoyed by chil dren too young to be subject to ar rest. Since it goes rather against the grain of free-born Americans to be stoned because of the color of their skln and the peculiarity of their re ligious belief, we were satisfied not In tne Kuetto of the race. The an- proach to the building was through dismal alleys overhung by dark, frowning arches. The streets reek ed with filth and the stones were slippery with the dung of animals. An open sewer, more horrible, If that , could be, ran down the middle of the street. We climbed a narrow passage and were soon standing in the tiny sanct uary of the Samaritans, a building which would not hold more than 100 people. Although the sect has wor shipped in this city for 2,500 'years, it only numbers about 150 at this time. It Is a close corporation, so the house Is large enough, especially as the women do not enter the house of worship. Like the Moslems, the men remove their shoes on entering the sanctuary. But they did not re quire it of us. While we were looking at the simple furniture of the temple the High Priest Yacub appeared. Ho is a man of intelligent, sensitive count enance, tall and dignified of bearing, fifty years or more of age. He evi dently understood our questions, but seemed shy about using English, pre ferring to leave to one of the two younger men who attended him the burden of replying. They had Just returned from their annual Passover ceremonial on the top of Mount Gerazim, where they kill and eat the paschal lamb with all the primitive simplicity, or per , haps savagery, of the ancient He I brews leaving Egypt. The Samaritans are like the Jews in their religious worship to a de ; gree. But they accept only the first five books of the Bible as sacred. They possess an ancient copy or the Penteteuch which they say Is 3574 years old. The young men took from its green silken cover this ancient a brass case. The outside of the case has tho symbolic furniture of tho Temple of tho Jews engraved upon it, tho seven branched candlestick, tho trumpets of gold, tho altar of Incense, nnd all the rest. They also show an other copy of tho Law mndo In tho days of tho Maccabees, from which they read on the Sabbath. Tho edges oi their first MS. aro worn with much handling and dirty with thumb marks. In places thoro aro rents that havo been roughly mended by a leather binding stitched so ns to strengthen tho grimy parchment. It is said that the copy of the Book of tho Law shown to strangers is not tho precious ancient document. I think that tho statement may bo truo, for they allow tho travolier to tako hold of tho parchment In a way that must soon wear It out. Cortaln favored porsons havo seen tho moro ancient document, among them emi nent Anioricnn scholars, who pro nounco it to bo by sovernl centuries tho most aucient MS. of tho Old Tcs tnmcnt now known to exist. But tho Patriarch was growing weary nnd his answers to our ques tions grow perfunctory. Tho young men took their relics behind tho dingy cotton curtains, dropping wax from tho candles upon tho brass enso. Then a small boy In a flapping night shirt ot n garment, who had made ono or two previous attempts to ob tain a hearing, took tho platform and read from a worn, printed slip n plea In what is meant to bo English for FOR AXD ABOUT THE FAIR SEX. financial assistance to unable tho !

Always be kind to me. Talk to me. Your voice often means as much to me as the reins. Pet me sometimes, that I may serve you the more gladly and learn to love you. Do not Jerk the reins, and do not whip me when going up hill. Never strike, beat or kick mo when I do not understand what you want, but give me a chanco to under stand you. Watch me, nnd If I fall to do your bidding, see If- some thing Is not wrong with my harness or feet. Do not check me so that I cannot have the free use of my head. If you Insist that I wear blinders, so that I cannot sec behind me ns it was intended I should, I pray you be areful that the blinders stand well out from my eyes. Do not overload me, or hitch me where water will drip on me. Keep me well shod. Examine my teeth when I do not eat, I may have an ulcerated tooth, nnd that, you know. Is vory painful. Do not tie my head in an unnatural position, or take away my best defense against flies and mosquitoes by cutting off my tall. I cannot tell you when I am thirs ty, so give me clean cool water often. Save me, by all means in your pow er, from that fatal disease tho glanders. I cannot tell you in words when I am sick, so watch me, that by signs you may know my condi tion. Give me all possible shelter from the hot sun, and put a blan ket on me, not when I am working but when I am standing in the cold. Nepr put a frosty bit In my mouth; first warm it by holding It a moment in your hands. I try to carry you and your bur dens without a murmur, and wait patipntly for you long hours of the day or night. Without the power to r-hoose my shoes or path, I some tlmps fall on the hard pavements which I have often prayed might not be of wood but of such a nature as to give me a safe and sure footing. Remember that I must be ready at any moment to lose my life in your service. And finally, O my Master, when my useful strength is gone, do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some cruel owner, to be slowly tortured and starved to death; but do Thou, my Master, take my life In the kindest way, and your God will reward you here and hereafter.
