GOULDSBORO.
Special to Tho Citizen.
GOULDSBORO, Oct. 20. I am
very anxious to secure Information
about a Rev. Mr. Lewis, a Confed
erate soldier, burled In Lehigh ceme
tery, Guuldsboro. The gravo of
every Union soldier In the cemetery
has a lining marker giving name,
regiment, etc., and as soon as the
necessary Intoruiatlon can be secur
ed, Mr. Lewis' gravo will also bo
i suitably marked. He died In the
seventies, before the Lehigh Ceme
tery association was formed, and no
record wns mndo of his death. 1 havo
written different ministers who were
in this locality at that time, and
have not been able to find nny ac
count. Rev. A. C. Sturms, now at
Connellsvlllo, Pa., who officiated at
a number of funerals at about that
time, lost his records in a lire. Ho
was known as Rev. Lewis, and 1 be
lieve he was a local M. P. minister.

Dalevllle or Spring Brook at one

tice remembers him, and can give
any information please notify Mrs.

Tho people of Damascus are going
to have a very substantial lecturo
courso the coining season. This is
the first time that such a plan ha3
,,een attempted, but from present in-
dlcations It cannot help but prove to
lio a success. These lectures and en
tertalnments aro not only Intended
for the people of the town, but for
residents and teachers of the whole
township. The people being progres
sive and awake to all up-to-date In
terests, It Is thought that a largo
crowd will greet Professor W. P.
Bradley, Ph. D. of Wesleyan Unlver
slty, who will open the courso on the
evening of November 23rd with his
entertaining, even fascinating, as well
as instructive lecturo on "Liquid
Air." Tho Professor uses elaborate
apparatus of his own invention to
manufacturo tho liquid. This ma
chine has been installed in sotno of
the leading universities of the coun
try. Ono can scarcely concelvo of
such a thing as "liquid nlr" without
seeing it ueroro their own eyes. Tho
liquid Will be demonstrated In a
number of experiments upon tho plat
form. A Now Haven, (Conn.) nows
paper said of tho lecturo: "Last
night's audience completely filled tho
Hyperion Theatre. Ono could hard
ly divest himself of tho idea that he
was listening to the words and wit
nessing tho clover sllght-of-hand
work of somo skilled magician."
Tho letcuro has somo real humor
with which ho spices what ho has to
ay. Professor Bradley Is In con
stant demand and has received, the
very highest praiso, lh the way1, of
newspaper1 notices" throughout tlio
country. The samo lecture Is high
ly commcntcu upon in tuo Bingham
tow Republican and tho Wilkes-Bar
ro Record. Surely it audiences havo
completely taken up every Inch of
standing room in tboso cities, tho
town of Damascus will bo proud to I
give a hearty wclcomo to ono of the
foremost authorities on liquid air in
t,hls country.
Tho whole courso has been select
ed with care and no efforts havo
boon Bpnrcd to engnge entertainers
nnd lecturers who nre known to be
of tho very highest clnss. Professor
F. H. Green, Lltt. D. of West Chester
State Normal school will probably
talk on tho "Musical Scale of Life."
Professor John F. Chambers of tho
Chambers School of Oratory of
Scranton, will give nn evening's en
tertainment. Prof. H. W. Conn,
Ph. D., bacteriologist for tho stato of
Connecticut and Professor of Biology
and Bacteriology at Wesleyan Uni
versity, will lecturo on tho relation of
germs to tho household, farm and
dlsensc, although this Is a scientific
lecture It Is Intensely Interesting from
the start to the finish. Tho high
school oratorical contest will bo the
last number of the course.
Courso tickets can be procured
from a number of the pupils In the
school who nro soliciting your sup
port. Tho requirements of tho school are
gradually being raised and this year
an elementary course In the French
language has been instituted.
Tho athletic outlook nt present Is
not the brightest on account of a
lack of material for football. Merle
Bogart has been elected captain of
tho team and Edward Fromer, mana
ger, This sport Is comparatively new
here and we are handicapped by hav
ing no regular nem to piay on,
nevertheless it is "hoped that a team
will be In shnpc before the season
closes nnu tnat one or two games
may bo palycd.
New zoological material and Im
plements have been purchnsed by the
directors of the school and with the
help of these a more thorough course

them will bo bottled and properly
labeled to start a zoological museum
for the school.

prices where they are?

COUNTY FAIRS
ELEVATE
STANDARDS,
HARRISBURG, Oct. IS. Deputy
Secretary of Agriculture A. L. Mar
tin said yesterday that the Pennsyl
vania fair season this year, which
is now virtually over, has been un
usually good.
Excellent exhibits and favorable
weather have combined to bring out
record-breaking crowds in most
cases.
"I visited fifteen or eighteen of
tho fairs in person," said Mr. Martin,
"and was pleasantly surprised at the
progress which Is being made.
"The elimination of gambling
seems to be almost complete. I saw
no gambling whatever at any of 'the
fairs I visited, although' I hear re
ports that somo of the fairs harbor
ed gambling devices or games which
approached perilously close to gamb
ling. If any evidence Is submitted
that gambling was permitted I shall
do what I can to withhold the state
appropriation from tho guilty fair.
"I noticed another thing which Is
directly traceable to the sentiment
which has brought about the elim
ination of gambling at tho fairs, and
that Is tho elimination of vulgar side
shows. Such shows are now clean,
as a rule, and of a character which
any ono can patronize."
LOVE.
O thou young and foolish children,
What dos't thou know of love?
Naught but Jealousy, pride and
selfishness,
Until thou lenrns't to look above?
In thlno young and careless walk
ing Thou has't taken n careless step,
A step that through Hfo cannot be
altered,
And leaves a sigh back of thy
gayest talking.
In after years a thought comes
back
Of things that might havo been,
But one falso stop, In ono false
track
Has robbed theo all of them.
Then thy memories linger long
Qver things that's past and gone,
And of tilings that were so sweet,
let trouaon on, oy thlno care
less feet.

A LIFE.
A child so young and gay,
In roso gardens day by day,
Happiness, peace and love,
Trusting in God above
Was her childhood.
A woman so tired and worn
In a city all alone,
Troublo, sickness and sorrow
With horrid thoughts of tho mor
row, Was hor womanhood.
A lady old and gray
Who has struggled nlghf; tind day,
But who looked up above through
hor bitterest tears,
To And solace and comfort for all
of her foars
Is resting at last in her second

GOOD ADVICE HY -t-
PROF. SURFACE, -f
.t Jt.t
An Enston booklovcr, Mls's ,
finding that her bookcase had boon
Invaded by moths, which were
threatening serious dntnngo to tho
volumes contained therein, wroto to
Prof. H. A. Surfnco, stato zoologist,
Harrlsburg, for Instructions In re
gard to getting rid of the pests.
Professor Surface replied as fol
lows: "You can destroy tho silver-tall
moth in your bookcase by fumigat
ing with Hydrocyanic Acid gas.
This Is a deadly poison for one to
breathe, but you can do tho work
safely by following directions herb
given. Determine tho cubic con
tents of the case by multiplying to
gether tho depth, height nnd width.
For each 100 cu. ft. of space you
will want ono ounce of Cyanide of
Potassium, two ounces of sulfuric
acid, and four ounces of water.
Pour It into an earthen vessel that
will hold two or three times as
much as the liquid takes; put in the
acid and water, and have tho cyanide
rendy in a thin paper bag at one
side. Open the door and window
of your room to ventilate It, but be
prepared to close the bookcase tight,
and instantly drop the cyanide into
the case and keep your room well
ventilated. Keep the bookcase
tightly closed for at least two
hours. It might be well to ventil
ate other adjacent rooms nt tho
same time. Then, by holding the
breath, open the bookcase; and go
out of the room, and, of course,
.have no pets in the room during
ventilation. After It has been ven
tilated one-half hour all will bo
well, and you can remove the sur
plus liquid from the jar and throw
it out, so that it will not come In
contact with qlants or metnls. This
treatment will not Injure the most
delicate fabric, and will be perfect
ly safe and effective. I should not
think for a moment of using sur
phur fumes because of the unde
sirable and even dangerous re
sults."
For Flens In the House.
It appears that the late warm
weather of the fall has been unusu
ally favorable to the development of
fleas and other household pests. The
annoyance from fleas has reached
such an extent, that an unusual
number of letters have been receiv
ed this fall by Prof. H. A. Surface,
state zoologist, Harrlsburg, asking
what to do for these pests.
A copy of his reply to such in
quiry from a prominent citizen of
Philadelphia gives details that oth
ers have reported practical and suc
cessful, and which, therefore, may
interest many readers.
The Professor wrote as follows:
"For fleas in the house it is im
portant first to remove their source,
which is generally the sleeping place
of pets, such as cats or dogs. Fleas
drop their eggs during tho night In
places where their hosts sleep. Thus
If the floor of their sleeping place
were covered with a rug, this could
be taken out and the eggs and larval
fleas could be shaken from ti.
"After the eggs hatch the fleas,
as larvae, feed in organic matter in
dust in cracks of floors, or in other
places where dust can accumulate.
Therefore, the first step in eliminat
ing tho fleas would be to destroy
them on the pets. Wash the cat or
dog with a three or four per cent,
solution of creolln in water, or use
a creolln soap or flea soap, or rub
Insect powder well Into the hair or
fur of the animal. Dust Insect pow
der well Into its sleeping kennel, or,
better, remove tho sleeping rugs
and dust them with insect powder
and beat them, or sprinkle or spray
them with a four per cent, solution
of creolln. Wash tho Interior of
tho sleeping kennel with carbolic
soap suds made strong, or with creo
lln solution. This gets rid of the
original source of Infestation.
"The next step Is to dust Insect
powder, such as Persian Insect pow
der, pyrethrum, or buhac, abundant
ly over tho floors of rooms of tho
houso infested. Keep the rooms

tightly closed, and In about one-half
hour sweep them thoroughly, nnd
burn tho sweepings. Tho Insect
powder does not kill tho fleas but rea
ders them torpid or dormant, so they
enn bo swept up nnd burned.
"The next step Is to remove the
enrpets and rugs, and beat them on
tho grass to get rid of any eggs and
larvae which they may contain, and
wnsh or scrub tho floor of the room
with four tier cent, creolln, or ono
pint In twenty-five pints of water.
"Some men have reported bucccss
In catching fleas In houses by tying
Sheets of sticky fly paper around
their boot tops, with tho sticky side
outward nnd walking slowly through
the rooms, when the fleas will jump
toward them and stick fast. This
is duo to tho fact that it Is the habit
of the flea to Jump toward a moving
object rather than away from It.
They can nlso bo captured In great
numbers by putting sheets of sticky
fly paper under articles of furniture,
where one will not walk or come In
contact with them.
"Where the pests are In cellars
or outbuildings or vacant rooms',
spray with about eight per cent,
creolln In water."

"I found very few apple growers
wild took proper care of their or
chards," said an extensive produce
buyer, who has been purchnslng
fruit throughout Wayne county In
large quantities, for shipment to tho
South and Southwest. "If only peo
ple would learn that It pays to cul
tivate, spray and trim their trees,
they would find It more profitable to
raise apples than they do at pres
ent. I havo been paying $1 50 a
barrel for Baldwin apples, furnishing
tho barrels and packing the apples,
If the fruit were of a better quality,
I could afford to pay fifty or seventy-five
cents a barrel more, and still
make a good commission."
Caution as to Tree Dope.
Various preparations are still be
iug offered as panaceas for ailments
of fruit trees nnd for the destroy
ing of insect pests. These are as
numerous as they are Injurious,

Prof. H. A. Surface in reference to

lution In the treatment of his trees
for the control of the San Jose
scale.
Professor Surface wroto as fol
lows, in reply:
"I was very much pleased to learn
that the tree dope man did not take
you in because you stuck to the
lime-sulphur as recommended in our
bulletins. This is the way to make
intelligent use of this literature.
You may be sure that just as soon
as there is anything better or cheap
er than the lime-sulphur wash to
use on fruit trees we shall surely
make it known through the publi
cations from this office.
"It is a surprise to me what an
extensive business has been done
in this state by agents and manu
facturers of tree dopes, whether
they be oil sprays or poison to put
under the bark. People buy these
materials and apply them to their
trees and injure their trees, and
cannot understand, until it is too
late, that the recommendations from
this office are based upon the most
careful tests that can be made, and
that wo have absolutely no Interests
at stake excepting to help the peo
ple of this state to save their trees
in the easiest and least expensive
manner possible. Please tell your
friends to have nothing to do with
any material that is to be put under
the bark of trees, or injected in
holes in the trees. Hundreds of
dollars have been taken from the
fruit growers of this state for these
materials, and these are now prov
ing Injurious to the trees them
selves and not succeeding In sup
pressing the insect pests."
