WEDNESDAY,
GOING DOWN.
All the new crop futures beyond September In the cotton market went
below 11 cents a pound last Wednesday. Thus good news continues to
come from that market for the manufacturer and consumer, which means
all of us, while the planter finds compensation In the prospective great
abundance of his harvest. People who a month ago were predicting 10 to
11-cent cotton were thought half-crazy. They now appear in the character
of true prophets.

ONE WOMAN .MAKING MONEY.
A woman is now in actual charge of the mints of the United States. Miss
Margaret Kelley, long connected with the mint bureau, was Tuesday ap
pointed examiner, in which position she will be next in authority to Geo.
E. Roberts, the director, and much of the active administration of the coin
age of money for the government will devolve upon her. Mr. Roberts at
present is but of Washington and will not be back for several weeks. Miss
Kelley's salary will be $3000 a year, making her the highest paid woman
in the government service. Thus we see that there Is no end to the fields
in which women may conquer.

SUCCESS TO THE LION.
Eighty-two years ago Tuesday,
of the first locomotive that turned a
Stourbridge Lion, and Honesdale has the honor or Deing tnat piace ana uie
Delaware and Hudson railroad the road over which it ran.
The Citizen, editorially, called attention to the fact a few weeks
ago that there was no marker telling of this historical event and sug
tnt n nwt hp inunrhpd for the Durnose of getting funds to erect
n suitable memorial commemorating
Mayor Kuhbach appoint a committee composed of citizens of the town to
decide upon cost, location, etc., and to head a subscription list, the Citizen
pledging $10.
Mayor Kuhbach was heartily encouraged by a number of prominent
citizens and appointed a representative committee, which has appeared In
The Citizen heretofore. An enthusiastic meeting, was held Wednesday
evening, June 28, in the law office of Homer Greene at the call of Mayor
Kuhbach. Officers were elected, Homer Greene being the unanimous
selection for chairman.
Resolutions were adopted and plans laid for a country-wide canvass
for funds from the railroads and other largo Industries affiliated with them.
Local and general committees have been appointed and the project is now
well under way.
There is no doubt whatever but that the Stourbridge Lion was the
ilrst locomotive to turn a wheel by steam upon the American continent
and that Horatio Allen was the Hirst locomotive engineer. The fact is
well authenticated by witnesses who saw the historical run and by men
of prominence in other spheres of life and also those connected wlth'Tail
roads. It has been recently stated that the Stourbridge Lion is "said" to
have been the first locomotive. The committee and others know that It was
the first engine and that Horatio Allen was Its first engineer. Success to
the Stourbridge Lion Association.
REFORMING PRISONERS.
Somebody has said "the nest
asset' society has is a good citizen."
Nobody can dispute this statement.
It is a truism that successfully chal
lenges all attack. It was undoubt
edly the recognition of this truth'
which caused the Pennsylvania Bar
association at a recent meeting to
take up the question of more humane
and intelligent treatment of prison
ers in the penal institutions of the
State. It was suggested that men
confined for crimes against the Com
monwealth be compelled to engage
in some productive and remunera
tive employment, and that a part of
the proceeds be given to their fami
lies from whom they aro temporarily
withdrawn. In this demand the
lawyers recognized that one of the
best methods that can be used for
the reformation of a fallen man is
to compel him to become a producer
of something useful.
If the Imprisoned man can be
shown that the product of his toll
Is to be used for the comfort of
those whose support ho had guar
anteed In happier times, his latent
self respect, If he has even a vestige
of It left, In bound to assert Itself.
It is tho unremunorative toll, the
toll which gives to tho toller no rec
ompense nor gives to his family any
comfort, that degrades. Altruists
and many who are not altruists, but
simply men of common sense, are
demanding that the system of pun
ishing prisoners bo changed. They
are not doing this because of a
maudlin sympathy for the person
Incarcerated. They simply want to
bring the offender back to paths of
righteousness, thus redeeming a
valuable asset to the State. In his
fallen condition he is useless. He
Is a producer of nothing but dis
cord, strife and unhappiness. These
reformers want him to be a tiller
of the soil. They want him to be
by the Citizen Publishing Company.

In considering the reformation of
prisoners, tho advanced thinker
takes little heed of the criminal
himself. His sufferings are nothing
as compared with the rights ofsp

community can be better secured by
the regeneration of the lawbreaker
than by his perpetual degradation.
It is one of those happy instances

"FLY CATECHISM." "
1. Is the fly dangerous?
Ho is man's worst pest and more
dangerous than wild beasts or rattle
snakes. 2. What diseases does the fly
carry?
He carries typhoid fever and tub
erculosis. 3. How?
On his wings and hairy feet.
4. What Is his correct name?
Typhoid fly.
5. Did he ever kill anyone?
He killed more American soldiers
during the Spanish-American war
than the bullets of tho Spaniards.
G. Where are the most flies?
Where there is the most filth.
7. Why should we kill the fly
Because he may kill us.
Mr. Edward Hatch, Jr., chairman
of the Fly-Fighting Committee of the
American Civic Association says;
" Screens are all very well. So is fly
paper. We are glad to have the co
operation of the manufacturers of
both. But what we want to Impress
upon the public Is the necessity for
removing the causes that breed flies.
Cleanliness is the beginning and end
of the housefly problem. If we had
no sewage and no horses and no raw
sewage dlcharging into open water
ways, two of the greatest causes of
the fly pest would disappear, for the
fly's chief breeding place Is the stable
and the greatest danger of his dis
seminating disease germs Is found
in larger cities. Still we have stables
and sewage and are likely to have for
some time yet, so wo must make our
rules for dealing with the fly pest
such as best fit the situation. Garb
age cans should be kept covered and
when emptied should bo cleaned or
sprinkled thoroughly with lime or
kerosene oil. Until the community
in which he lives appreciates its re
sponsibility sufficiently to take the
precautions I have Indicated, It will
probably bo necessary for even the
careful housekeeper to use screens on
his doors and windows, and it may be
to use fly papers, traps and poisons
for killing the flies that get past the
screens. Twenty drops of carbolic
acid vaporized on a hot shovel will
kill the flies in a room of ordinary
size. A taDiespoontul of formalde'
hyde and a quarter of a pint of wa
ter exposed in shallow dish will have
the same effect. The burning of
pyrethrum powder, stuplfies the flies
so tnat they may be swept up and
burned. Care must be taken to see
that each of the drugs recommended
is tresh and pure.
BEAUTY HINTS FOR MEN.
We are much interested in tho
" Beauty Hints for Men," which the
ismpona (Kansas) Gazette assures
us come from the Hon. Harry Peach.
Presumably the Hon. Harry Peach
is an Emporiaite. In any event he
is a peach, no matter where his home
may be, and he will secure a niche
in the hall of fame If ho continues
to advise the sterner sex. The Hon.
Harry Peach, it appears, has been
greatly Impressed by the beauty
talks of Lillian Russell in the Kan
sas City Star. Lillian argues that
any woman may be beautiful by fol
lowing a few simple rules, and the
Hon. .Mr. Peach holds that the same
theory applies to men. If not, why
not? He says that It is the duty of
every man to bo as fascinating as
possible, so that the girls will sit up
and take notice. No doubt our own
Dr. W. C. Griffith will confirm this
view. Of course he will, for "Doc"
is something of a beauty specialist
himself.
We have the word of the Emporia
Gazette for it that Mr. Peach has
been looking through some of the
standard works on beauty culture as
it relates to men, and has compiled
the following list of suggestions,
which should be framed and hung
over the desk of every Prominent
Citizen:
The whiskers should be combed
carefully every morning, in order
to remove egg shells and other de
bris. A man with a broad fat face
should not wear sldewhlskers.
A man with a long, lean face
should not wear chlnwhlskers.
False teeth should fit the wear
er's mouth. Nothing is more an
noying to people of culture than to
meet a man whose teeth work up
and down as he talks.
A red nose should be whitewash
ed before appearing in public.
A man with bolls on his neck
should wear neat and attractive
poultices.' It is disagreeable to see
a large, unwieldly flaxseed poultice
that has slipped around to one side.
If you wear a glass eye, see that
it matches your genuine eye.
If your neck is long and scawny,
wear a high collar.
An old man of reverend appear
ance should not wear a rah-rah hat.
Do not chew tho cheap grades of
tobacco In the presence of ladles.
Eat tho things which are denounc
ed as harmful by the doctors.
Swat tho flies.

ocrat. THE CAPSULE TREATMENT.
A horticultural teacher in Mont
gomery county, wrote to State Zoolo
gist Surface, at Harrisburs. Pa., ask
ing if he had any faith In the treat
ment for San Jose, scale by tho ap
plication of certain chemicals under
the bark of the tree; and asked par
ticularly concerning the effects of ap
plying a aapsule containing cyanide
of potassium, prepared by a firm In
Allentown, Pa.
The reply of Professor Surface is
complete, and may be useful to oth
er orchardlsts. It Is as follows:
"I take pleasure In replying to
yours of the 14th, concerning the
treatment of San Jose scale by the
application of certain chemicals.
"I must say that I have tried the
preparation known as 'Kleckner's
Fertilizing and Scale Treatment,' by
the 'Fertilizing Scale Co.,' of Allen
town, Pa., and have found that it Is
liable to Injure the tree, and does
not in any sense affect the scale. In
tho first place, no material will be
taken up In solution by a living tree
when placed beneath the bark. Sec
ondly, if such a thing wero possible,
It would poison the fruits for people
to use, as well as for the Insects.
Thirdly, the poison used is cynanlde
of potassium, which is one of the
most deadly poisons. If this were
taken in the sap of the tree, it
would be disposited In the leaves and
fruits, and would kill any animals
feeding on the leaves as well as per
sons feeding on the fruit, and also
would modify the appearance and
flavor of the fruit. You can see that
it Is nonsense to state that this
would kill the scale and other pests
of the tree, and not affect the sap
or the tree for persons using Its pro
ducts.
Even if the cyanide of potassium
powder were effective In controlling
the scale by such means, you can
see that any person would buy this
material for himself and apnly It to
his trees, and not pay such a tre
mendously high price to the Con
pany as I understand this Company
is getting rich in the sale of this
product. You can buy the cyanide
of potassium for about thirty cents
per pound, and one pound of this
will make more material than this
Company sells for ten dollars. How
ever, I warn you against the use
of it, as it is not effective. Also, It
is a very deadly poison to handle.
I am surprised that anyone would
make claim that this material kills
the scale and does not injure the
tree. But just such statements were
made by a few persons who used the
sulphur-resin-gun-powder comblna-
known as "Sea-kill,' that was manu
factured and sold at Waynesboro,
Pa., a few years ago. Fortunately,
for the fruit growers of this State,
that firm was put out of business.
The U. S. Postofflco authorities de
clared them a fraud, and prohibited
them using the U. S. mall."
NEW VILu.lUK BLACKSMITH.
Under a costly canopy
The village blacksmith sits;
Before him Is a touring car
Broken to little bits
And the owner, and tho chauffeur,
too,
Have almost lost their wits.
The village blacksmith smiles with
glee
As he lights his fat cigar
Ho tells his helpers what to do
To straighten up the car
And the owner, and tho chauffeur,
too,
Stand humbly where they are.
The village blacksmith puffs his
weed
And smiles a smile of cheer
And while his helpers pump the
tires
And monkey with the gear
And the owner, and tho chauffeur,
too,
Stand reverently near.
Behind the village blacksmith is
Tho portal of his shop;
Tho shop is very large in size.
With a tiled roof on top
And the owner, and tho chauffeur,
too,
At it were glad to stop.
The children, going home from
school,
Look In at the open door;
They like to see him make his bills
And hear the owners roar
And the chauffeurs weep as they
declare
They ne'er paid that before.
Ho goes each morning to the bank
And salts away his cash;
A high silk hat and long frock coat
Help him to cut a dash
But the owner, and the chauffeur
too.
Their teeth all vainly gnash.
The chestnut tree long since has
died,
Tho smith does not repine;
'His humble shop has grown into
A building big and fine
And it bears " Garage " above tho
door
On a large electric sign.
