Cove a Total Loss.
Glen Cove, N. Y March 10. The
summer homo on Red Spring road
owned by Mrs. Lavlnia Beard of 184
Clinton avenue, Brooklyn, was destroy
ed by lire. The loss will reach $25,
000. It Is believed that tramps or
others who may have been sleeping In
tho house sot It nflro by carelessly
throwing n lighted match or cigarette
among paper. There was supposed to
be no one In tho house, nnd there wns
neither stove nor electric lights in tho
building.
William Stemcke, n hotelkeoper, first
saw flames coming from tho building

NEW EXECUTIVES
WELLJQUIPPED
Wilson and Marshall Learned
as Governors.
THEY HAVE MANY ADVISERS.
President's Cabinet Keeps Him Inform
ed Vice President Receives Counsel
From Democratic Senators and More
Effectively From Senate Clerks.
Clark Retains His Power;
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington. March 10. Special.
Woodrow Wilson as president and
Thomas R. Marshall as vlco president
seem to (It In with the scheme of things
here lu Washington, even after the
Democrats have been so long out of
power. These two former governors
know quite a lot about the govern
ment business, besides having many
able advisers. Mr. Wilson finds these
in his cabinet and among (ho thou
sand or more patriots who are staying
in Washington with hopes that they
will be called into the administration
In some capacity.
Mr. Marshall Is advised by a few
Democratic senators, but more partic
ularly by the clerks In front of him,
who nre nniong the most skilled par
liamentarians of the senate and who
know Just what a senate presiding of
ficer should do. Our two most promi
nent citizens seem to have started off
nil right.
Ex-Speaker Clark.
Strictly speaking, It Is ex-Speaker
Clark now, although it will aghln be
Speaker Clark when the now congress
meets. The ex-speaker continues to
hold his office In the cnpltol. He Is go
ing along just as If the office contin
ued, and to all intents and purposes it
does continue. Though there was talk
a long time ago about a cnndldnte
against Clark, It died out, and Champ
will bo re-elected by a unanimous vote
of the Democrats.
Making Committees,
Besidps making tariff bills, tho ways
nnd means committee must make the
house committees under the scheme
adopted two years ago. Taken alto
gether, tho system has not worked very
satisfactorily. In fact, depriving the
speaker of power of appointment of
committees has been a failure to a
large extent
The Old Warfare.
We will probably witness n revival
of the old warfare between the senate
and house over the tariff bills. It Is
evident now that the senate will great
ly modify tho different measures,
which the house sends over. That
will again raise the question of pre
rogatives. The house clnlms the right
over revenue and appropriation bills.
Tho senate claims the right of amend
ment and makes many changes In all
such measures. There is still a great
deal of bitterness over the differences
which developed over the appropria
tion bills in the closing days of the
last session.
At times tho different members
showed considerable mettle. But all
such differences finally were compro
mised. The hottest fight of this char
acter ever known was when tho Dem
ocrats last took control of the nation's
affairs. The contest between tho two
houses over tho Wilson tariff bill last
ed for months, nnd the house finally
swallowed every senate amendment.
Borah's Success.
If It had not been for Senator Borah
there would have been no child labor
bureau, and if it had not been for the
same senator there would have beeu
no department of labor bill. His per
sistence put both of theso measures
through. Borah was once heralded as
an anti-labor man because ' he helped
to prosecute the men charged with
killing the governor of Idaho, but he
has proved a good friend of labor dur-
lng his six years In the senate.

The senate might havo seemed to bo
unusually busy in the closing days of
the late session, yet it was not so busy
that It did not take several hours on
the Saturday, afternoon and night bo-
foro the adjournment "to deliver eulo-J
gies over dead senators and members
of tho house. Tbo visitors In Wash

many of them stayed until late at

very thrilling, but they bulged with
pathos and poetry.

MADE IT EASY FOR HARRY THAW
Sulzer Makes Public Charges Against
Superintendent of Prisons Scott.
Albany, N. Y., March 10. Governor
Sulzer made public the report of the
commission of Inquiry concerning the
administration of state prisons under
Superintendent Joseph F. Scott. Ten
charges are made by the commission,
which in its opinion "require explana
tion and If possible justification by the
superintendent of state prisons." No
recommendation Is made, but the com
mission submits Its conclusions to Gov
oruor Sulzer for his "careful considera
tion" and for such action ns he "may
deem for the best Interests of the
state."
The principal charge made by the
commission against the superintendent
Is that he permitted Frederick II. Mills
to remain In the office of prison sales
agent after a report was made to tho
governor by John D. McMahon In Sep
tember. 1012, that John D. Mills was
drawing a salary from the state and
conducting a private business of his
own nt the same time. This, the com
mission says, continued under a pri
vate understanding with the superin
tendent of prisons.
Another allegation Is that under Colo
nel Scott's administration Harry K.
Thaw received unusual liberties in
Matteawan State hospital; thnt he was
permitted to receive callers frequently
and to retain In his possession large
amounts of money. The commission
severely criticises Colonel Scott for
falling to order a prosecution after Dr.
John W. Russell, who wns superintend
ent of the Matteawan hospital, report
ed to him that John N. Anhut had of
fered him n bribe of $20,000 to release
Thaw. Other charges Involve com
plaints made by Democratic leaders of
Clinton county In relation to the man
agement of Clinton prison at Danne
morn. GALLANT LA F0LLETTE.

STERLING.
Sterling, March 10.
Wo often wondor how much "town
gossip" people care to read or the
editor cares to publish. To mention
every one that goes to the store, post
office, calls on a friend, takes dinner,
sells a dozen eggs to a huckster or
stubs his toe nnd falls down may he
Very Interesting personal affairs but
do tney Interest tho public? We
have been told by a number that the
first thing they do when they receive
the paper Is to look for tho " home
news" and when they do not find it1
they arc quite disappointed. Hence,
we presume, Is tho reason why the
editor publishes so many trivial
items. But when things don't hap
pen, what's a fellow to do? Tho edi
tor says write at least once n week.
Last Sunday Rev. W. E. Webster
officiated at the funeral of Jacob
Shiftier of Greentown. It often
seems Providential that a number
very considerately expire just In time
to accommodate the minister to offi
ciate on the Lord's day.

terial meeting at Scranton and also

Adalalde M. and Mrs. Emma Howe;

Kitchen and Miss Gennett, at home.

ing resided here for many years.

J. E. Cross has had a Mr. Collins,
and helper, from Ariel working for
him this week.
Notwithstanding the number of
cows that are kept in this section for
several weeks past butter has been
decidedly scarce, but perhaps one
reason is tho creamery gets nearly all
of the milk.
The school tax is tho largest tax
we pay and yet how many are inter
ested enough to visit the schools
except on some extraordinary occa
sion and see what kind of work the
teachers and pupils are doing. Since
school began wo have spent enough
time at the High school building to
say that we think tho teachers are
all doing excellent work.

Making an Inspection of trees and
shrubbery In this vicinity, W. H.
Bullock, state demonstrator and or
chard Inspector for counties of
Wayne, Pike and Monroe, was In 1
Hawley on Saturday and found many
trees hero affected with San Jose,
scurfy and oyster shell scale. The
prevalence of these destructive in
sects hero, Mr. Bullock said, Is the
result of the Indifference shown by
the people here for the welfare of
their trees. He found less Interest
in the fight against the scale in Haw
ley than In any other community of
this size within his district. The
state inspector found many other in
stances where trees are badly affect
ed by scale without the owners'
knowledge, this despite the campaign
of education along this line which
has been carried on by tho stato de
partment. Mr. Bullock repeated
the Instructions which have been giv
en out for several years by the state
department for preventing and kill
ing the scale. The best way that has
been found to do this Is to spray tho
trees with a lime and sulphur wash
which can be easily made or may be
purchased already prepared.

DEAFNKSS CANNOT BE CUBED
by local appitcnuous, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, nnd that Is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness Is caus
ed by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when It Is en
tirely closed, Deafness Is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
Is nothing but an inflamed condition
of tho mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for
