FREELAND, PA., MAY 24, 1894.
F ran kiln's Foresight.
One hundred years ago this month
Benjamin Franklin left a fund of five
thousand dollars, which ho directed
should be put at interest and left to
accumulate for a century. When that
time had come round, according to tho
directions of the splendid old philan
thropist, half of the money thus accu
mulated should go to some good public
purpose for the benoflt of the people of
Boston. The other half was to be put
aside, as in the first case, for another
century, at the end of whiih time tho I
state and tho city should be equal part
ners in the fund. Now, arising from
the five thousand dollars, there is an
aggregate of something near seven
hundred thousand dollars, half of
which the trustees will use to build
and equip an industrial training school,
one of the best uses to which tho
money can be put, and one which
Franklin would surely approve if ho
were living now. The board of alder
men and three ministers of the oldest
religious societies in Iloston arc the
trustees. They are going to visit
Washington to learn as much as they
can about tho manual school there,
and they will visit nearly all the largo
cities of the United States on the same
mission.
Dn. W. B. CLARKE, of Indianapolis,
Ind., claims to own a plaster bas-relief
of the head and neck of Abraham Lin
coln, In full side view, the whole oval
being twenty-six by twenty-one Inches
and the head and neck twenty inches
long. The great point of interest
about this relic, says Dr. Clarke, Is that
it was made in Indianapolis from a
cast taken from the martyr president's
face as ho lay in state in the Indiana
state house during the journey to
Springfield. Through the inliuence of
Gov. O. P. Morton tho sculptor was en
abled to make the cast, and from this
two medallions were made, 110 be
lieves that tho other, the companion
of the one he has, is still in existence
in a private family in Indianapolis.
THE announcement of the death of a
little girl in New York from excessive
exercise with the skipping rope calls
the attention of parents to a real dan
ger. This exercise in moderation is
healthful to the child and encouraging
to the shoemaker, but exceedingly dan
gerous when it comes to trials of endur
anco or when little girls exhaust
themselves In an effort to achieve a
record and make a great number of
jumps. Deaths from this cause have
occurred before, and in many cases
where the result is not fatal the health
of the child may be greatly impaired.
It would bo well, therefore, for parents
at this season of the year to exercise
some watchfulness in this regard.
REFERRING to tho hard times a trav
eler related a curious evidence of them
witnessed by him on his way over the
Canadian Pacific recently. At several
of the stations he noted great piles of
buffalo bones, which had been gath
ered upon tho plains and had been
brought to tho station for sale. For
some time there has been a great de
mand for these bones from parts of the
United States. They are exported, and
are bought at so much per car load,
tho usual price being ono hundred
dollars per car of seven tons. Since
the panic, however, the Americans
have had no money to pay for them,
and the skeletons and old bones lie
bleaching in the snow, waiting for
tho financial skies to brighten.
AN auctioneer down at Middletown
Del., talked without rest for eight
hours tho other day, and sold in that
timo six hundred and forty articles. A
man of leisure in attendance upon the

talked eighty-two thousand words, or
enough to make in print tho bulk of a
fair-sized novel.

Tho Farmer of the Future.
In the present unsettled state of the
labor market, It Is well worth while
for the young 1 man to sit quietly down
and consider the possibilities of future
business. Whether he shall confine
himself to the store, the shop or the
factory should be a question to receive
serious thought. Of course, there are
and always will be many peoplo who
prefer a commercial life, but it is well
worth while to give a moment's serious i
study to that which will produce tho
necessaries of life. The careful farm- j
er, says the New York Ledger, may |
make himself independent of other oc- j
cupations. It is possible for hiin to
raise sufficient food products to sup- |
ply many of the requirements of his j
family, anil thus make himself free J
from many of tho vicissitudes of busi- j
ness life. Indeed, every man who can ;
possibly do so should have his bit of ;
ground where he can provide what '
will rank as luxuries to his fam
ily. The small farmer is
to all intents and purposes
the independent citizen of the
commonwealth. Those who follow j
this occupation on a more extensive
scale are subject to possibilities of
lack of assistance and the danger that
their help may leave them when it is
most needed. Indeed, tho help proh- ;
lein is tho coming subject of interest
for tliis country. Upon a reasonable
settlement of the present disaffection i
tho prosperity of the nation depends, i
With the farm quite as much as in any
other business the necessity for relia
ble assistance is apparent. If things
aro not done in season they may as
well go over until another year, as la
bor bestowed on them Is in most cases j
almost the same as wasted. A small ;
piece of ground thoroughly and intel
ligently cultivated will produce quite
enough to supply tho tablo of an ordi
nary-sized family. From this one may
Increase the area and its productive
ness according to the time and facili
ties at command, and thus supplement
whatever comes in from other occupa
tions of members of the family. But
there is in the fruits of one's own gar
den a charm rarely found In those of
fered by the market-gardener.
IN Gray county, Kan., there is n
school district in which but a single
family resides. The family consists of
a man and his wife and nine children.
The man and wife and son elect them
selves trustees of the district and em
ploy a daughter at u salary of thirty
five dollars a month to teach school.
It is related that some time ago the
head of the family and of the school
district was greatly in need of a wind
mill and tank to water the few head of
cattle he had grazing on the prairie.
A meeting of the school trustees was
held, a special election was called, and
bonds were voted for the purpose of
improving the school property. The
bonds were sold and the proceeds used
in digging a well one hundred and fifty
feet deep on the schoolhouso lot. A
windmill and tank were put up, and
now the school children and cattle of
the district drink water to their hearts'
content, without putting the president
of the board of trustees to tho trouble
of pumping it for them.
MRS. CLEVELAND lately received from
London a most unique and charming
gift, a magnificent album containing
the portraits of American residents in
London who during tho past thirty
years have attained the distinction of
a caricature in Vanity Fair. Nearly
ull of them are signed "Ape," tho
famous signature of Polcgrini. The
album is massively bound in royal red
morocco and lined with watered silk of
an imperial or "Knight of the Garter"
blue. It is inscribed "Uncle Sam's
celebrities at Vanity Fair." Over those
words is the American eagle with ox
tended wings, the pennant "E Pluribus
Unura" il< -wing from the claws. There
are vignettes of Washington and Cleve
land. All the lettering is in heavy gold.
THE iee water drinker is just as
much of a "fiend" as tho morphine eat
er. In many cases the habit of tho
former is just as strong as that of the
latter, and just as hard to break. It
has been frequently demonstrated that
the drinking of ice water is an ac
quired habit, and not ono that comes
naturally. Give an infant iee water,
and you will notice by its action that
tho drink is very distasteful. It usual
ly has the same effect upon an Indian
or person not accustomed to it. Be
sides, It is very unhealthy, and any
person who can avoid drinking ice wa
ter should do so.
(JIIICAOO has a fresh wonder in a

vocal apparatus is a member of a
church choir, but, notwithstanding his
dual ability, he draws only one salary.

CHICAGO FEELS PROUD.
Medical Congress in Home Honors
a Windy City Surgoon.
I>r. J. 11. Murphy I" Klected rrcgldent for
America of the International Medi
cal Congress—A Compliment
to tho West.
Western American physicians, and
especially tho profession in Chicago,
have been signally honored in the se
lection of Dr. J. 11. Murphy, of that
city, as tho president for America of
the international medical congress in
Rome. That the congress should skip
New York and make a Chicago man
one of its honorary presidents for tho
ensuing year is a distinctive recogni
tion of merit that will no doubt bother
New Yorkers just a little. This is
especially true of surgery, in which
Gotham likes to wave the west aside.
The matter is made all tho more em
phatic In that Dr. Murphy has had a
little sectional controversy with tho
New York surgeons concerning the
operation for appendicitis, of which ho
claims to have been the originator.
I)r. Murphy has coine to the front
very rapidly in surgery. Ills work has
been highly scientific and has caused
widespread comment in the medical
and surgical journals in this country
and abroad. Hois a very young man
for the importance of tho place in sur
gery his talent has won for him, being
only thirty-six years of age. What
should be peculiarly gratifying to the
Chicago faculty is the fact that he is a
graduate of tho Rush Medical college.
Ho values the great clinics of Europe
properly, but he is a stanch defender
of tho excellence of good American
schools, and is himself a very splendid
sainplo of what America and the west
can do when it gets tho right sort of
material to work on. His dis
coveries aro not many, but what
work ho has done bears the
stamp of tho very highest scien
tific excellence, and that Is enough to
mulce a man famous in surgery. He
was tho first surgeon to operate for
appendicitis, although a New York
surgeon laid claim to that distinction.
Dr. Murphy performed tho operation
first two days before his friend in New
York did it. Of courso both were work
ing along tho same lines, and Dr. Bir
ney deserves as much credit on this
scoro as Dr. Murphy; but it is always
the first who does the work that is
given tho reward in science, and tho
Chicago surgeon has put his priority
beyond dispute. It was a bold method
indeed, calculated to make tho older
and more staid men of the knife stand
back and hold their breath, but the re
sults have been so satisfactory that
the operation is universally accepted
as ono of the most brilliant, from a
scientific standpoint, and at the same
time ono of the most beneflcient'Of the
I)R. J. H. MURPHY,
discoveries of surgery. Before Dr
Murphy's operation patients with ap
pendicitis were almost certain to die.
Tho percentage was so small us to be
nothing. Now about sixty per cent,
will recover and as experience grov.s
tho results will bo better.
Another discovery of some value to
scienco for which he is responsible is
the fact that man becomes infected
with the disease that afflicts cattlo
known as "lumpy-jaw." lie found that
through defective teeth the germs
wero transmitted along the bono and
that the disease is always fatal. Tho
nnme of the disease is actinomycosis
hominis. Tho importance? of these facts
is at once evident.
l)r. Murphy's more recent work is
the most interesting and really tho
most valuable he has done. The ro
sult of it is what ho calls tho intestin
al anastomasis button by which tho
mortality from intestinal cutting is
practically annihilated. By the but
ton the severed ends of tho intestine
piay be united in ono minute and the
result is always favorable. This but
ton can be classed us one of the most
important discoveries in surgery, for
the reason that it enables any physi
cian, however inexpert ho may bo, to
perform resection of tho intestines in
gunshot cases and the like with al
most absolute safety. These opera
tions have been the despair of surgery
for years.
Dr. Murphy is professor of surgery
in the Chicago Coll ego of Physicians
and Surgeons. For two years ho was
resident physician in tho Cook County
hospital and is now president of tho
hospital staff.
Tides of Enormous Height.
Prof. Ball, the astronomer royal of
Ireland, calls attention to a curious
fact in connection with tides. At pres
ent tho moon is 210,000 mile < away, but
thcro was a time in tho distant past
when it was only about one-sixth part
of this, or say, about 40,000 miles. If
the moon at a distance of 240,000 miles
gives us tides that average three feet
the world over, they must havo been
210 times higher, or at least 040 feet, at
the time when it was only 40.000 miles
away. Such a tide as the nbovo would
drown tho Mississippi valley, from the
Gods jetties to tho mouth of the Bad
Axe, and would pile up water 800 feet
deep in tho street.! of St. Louis.

There were present fifty priests and

Delegates from Seventeen Different Na
tions Will Gather In London In .Juue
to Do Honor to Robert Wllll'ims
—A Grand Event.
It Ir only a short time ago that thou
tands of temperance advocates in this
country and England did honor to that
sturdy old son of Maine, Gen. Neal
Dow. On his birthday words of eulogy
for tho man who had championed tlio
cause of temperance for fifty years and
more were pronounced in many cities.
Orators told of tho great good Gen.
Dow had done in saving young men
from the drunkard's grave, and re
joiced that L" had lived to sec the tre
mendous growth of tho cause of tem
peranco the world over. This grand
old man from the Tine Treo state is
now nenring the last milestone of life,
but happy in the knowledge that ho
has been the means of keeping thou
sands of young men from lives of dissi
pation and consequent irrcligion.
Two other grand old men who havo
labored for half a century for tho moral,
mental and religious improvement of
young men arc about to witness tho
celebration of the jubilee of the great
institutions they founded. One of
these Christian workers is Gen. Wil
liam Booth, of the Salvation Army,
and tho other is George Williams,
founder of the Young Men's Christian
association.
Just fifty years ago in June next the
Young Men's Christian association and
tho Salvation Army were started in
London. While Gen. Booth was going

GEORGE WILLIAMS,
out In the highways and byways of
tho groat English metropolis preach
ing in the open air, George Williams, a
young clerk in a big dry goods estab
lishment, at St. Paul's churchyard, was
organizing his associates, tlio eighty
employes in the place, into the first
body known as the Young Men's Chris
tian association.
At a meeting on June 0, 1841, of the
assistants in tho house of Hitchcock &
Co., the formal organization of the Y.
M. C. A. took place, and its object as
stated was "to improve the spiritual
condition of young men engaged in
the drapery and other trades. * Tho
growth of the Salvation Army and the
i Y. M. C. A. has been something re
markable, and in June there will bo
celebrations by tho followers of both
organizations that will show their
enormous strength and the tremendous
amount of soul saving being constant
ly accomplished.
Gen. Booth's jubilee programme
has not yet been sufficiently arranged
to be of interest, but tho Y. M. G'. A.
jubileo exercises havo been mapped
out Committees are now at work in
this country and in England complet
ing the details for a monster celebra
tion, an International affair, to be held
in London, commencing June 8. Tho
jubilee exercises will last for a week,
and there will be delegates present
from seventeen nations. George Wil
liams, the founder of the organization,
now in his seventy-third year, will at
tend these exercises and tell how ho
came to start the Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Williams, tho founder of the Y.
M. 0. A., is still in the enjoyment of
his free mental powers. On the death
of the carl of Shaftesbury, in 1885, Mr.
Williams became presidentof the Lon
don association, which position he Btill
retains. Few men enjoy Ids privilege
of seeing a work, instituted by them
selves, so widely extended and so fruit
ful of good as the Y. M. C. A.
The first Y. M. C. A. branch of tljo
London association was organized in
Boston December 29, 1851. A letter
dated June, 1850, which appeared in a
Boston paper written from London by
Mr. George M. Vundcrlip, a student
of the University of tho City of New
York, described the work of the Lon
don Young Men's Christian associa
tion, and led to the organization of
that in Boston. During 1851 kindred
associations wcro formed in several
other cities, including New York. Two
years elapsed beforo any systematic
effort ,vas made to bring the twenty
six American associations which had
by thnt time been organized into com
munication with one another. William
Chauncey Langdon, then a layman and
a member of the Washington associa
tion, afterward a clergyman of the
Protestant Episcopal church, accom
plished the welding together of tho
different associations in the United
States, and he also brought about tho
first conference of tho associations of
all lands in Paris, August 19-24, 1855.
The first convention of the American
associations was held in Buffalo June
7,1854. This was really the first con
ference of the associations in the Eng
lish speaking world. There have been
thirty conferences in this country
since then. Much of tho success of
the international Y. M. C. A. in this
country is attributed to Its chairman,
Cephas Bralnerd.

POOR OLD M'GARRAH AN.
He Gock to Hl* Grave with Ilia Groat
Wrong Unredressed.
The story of William McGarrahan,
the celebrated claimant to the New
Idria mine, who died recently in a
Washington hospital, is a sad one and
full of romance. In 1544 Manuel
Micheltorena, the Mexican governor
of upper California, granted a tract oi
land which lies partly in Fresno and

partly in Monterey counties to Vin
cent P. Gomez, a Mexican official.
After California became an American
possession Gomez sold the land to Mc-
Garrahan. This transaction took
place December 23, 1857. In the mean
time a private corporation known as
the New Idria Mining company had
squatted upon the land and began a
wearisome system of litigation for the
purpose of keeping McGarrahan out of
possession. On ono pretext and an
other the case was dragged through
the courts for years, and during all this
timo tho New Idria Mining oompanj'
was making enormous profits out of
McOarrahan's quicksilver. Part of
these profits tho concern put in its
pocket and part it employed as a cor
ruption fund to keep McGarrahan out
of his rights. Tho story is one of the
most shameful In the history of such
affairs, and includes theft, bribery and
mutilation of the records in the gen
eral land office.
Finally McGarrahan in 1808 appealed
to congress and a bill ordering tho
transfer of the property to liiin was
passed, but the measure got tangled in
the senate machinery and was indefi
nitely postponed. McGarrahan bravely
kept up tho fight In succeeding con
gresses, however, and every session
since has had its turn at this famous
claim, but the rich parasites found
congress an easy field for their opera
tions, and those who wore in a posi
tion to know predicted that the broken
old man would go to his grave as ho
has done with his great wrong unre
dressed.
HAD A VARIED CAREER.
How tho I.ate Senator Stookbrl-lgo Made
IMs Way in tho World.
Francis 11. Stockbrldgc,United States
senator from Michigan, who died
a few days ago in Chicago, was
born in Hath, Me., April 0, 1830. Early
in his life his parents moved to Chi
cago, where, for some years, ho was
engaged in the lumber business. This
grew rapidly, and in a comparatively
short time he acquired a largo lumber
interest in Michigan. In 1851 he de
cided to move to Michigan and he took
up his residence in St. Ignace, where
ho owned several lumber mills. While
living in St. Ignace ho also acquired a
large mining property, which he re
tained up to the time of his death.
110 moved to Kalamazoo about twenty
years ago and has lived there since,
lie was elected to the state legislature
in 1809 and to the senate in 1871, and
March 4, 1887, took his seat iu the
United States senate as a republican.
110 was reelected again in 1898, and his
term of service would have expired
Slareh 3, 1899. Tho senator had large
lumber interests o'n the Pacific slope,
was the proprietor of a large spring
factory at Kalamazoo, and was well
known throughout the state as a man
of large means who freely spent his
money for tho benefit of the poor. He
was largely interested in the Brown
Co. stock farm near Kalamazoo, and

high in speeding circles.
Although he had had only a common
school education in his early youth, he
was a great reader and had acquired a
considerable knowledge of art. science
and literature during his life. Prob
ably there was no man in Michigan
better known to rich and poor alike
.than was he. 110 had often said that,
as ho hod no children of his own, he
would in a measure adopt those of his
neighbor, and his kindly spirit made
him beloved wherever he was known.
While still a young man he was mar

survives him.
Why ImliatiH Titko Scalp*.
Indians do uot take scalps through
cruelty, but just as civilized soldiers

circle of slashes around tho skull, and
then tearing off tho broad patch of
skin and hair by main force. It is a
dreadful operation, and one never to
