FREELAND, PA., APRIL 30, 1800.
A Story of Bill Nye.
His father still lives oil his Vermont
farm. He ami Bill corresponded now
und then, and not long ago the old
farmer wrote his boy that he believed
he could sell the farm. He said it was
heavily mortgaged, and it was all he
could do to pay the interest. He had
written to Bill Nye's brothers in Minne
apolis, but they didn't seem to be able
to do anything. He st.ill owed $2,500,
and as he was an old man, this was too
much for him to cany, and he thought
he would sell. As Bill read this his eyes
began to fill. He was, you know, a
mighty sensitive fellow, with all his
fun. He happened to have some money
on dejtosit in the bank, and lie tool
out his check book and filled out n
check for $2,500. He signed it In such
big letters that it almost covered the
face of the check, and wrote his name
in full, Edgar Wilson Nye. This he sent
to his fatlier, and as he did so, away
down in his soul, I venture, he said to
himself: "Well, I guess they'll think
something now of the sickly little cuss
whom they thought they would have
to support, who didn't know figures,
and who had to go west to make his for
tlHKC."
THE sewing machine agent is not the
unique fellow he used to be, but occa
sionally one is found with all the old
time enterprise. A character of that
kind operates in the town of Dover,
Me. It is said that recently he found u
house in a neighboring town where
there wasn't a sewing machine. The
occupant of tho dwelling was an old
bachelor, but this in no wise daunted
t.iwi resourceful man of many manners
lie sat down beside that bachelor and
did not leave him until the jxxir man
admitted that if he eouid have a woman
to run the sewing machine he would
like one. This flie agent interpreted
to mean both woman and sewing ma
chine; so he rose up and went forth,
with the result that within six weeks
there was one less maiden lady, one
less bachelor and one more sewing mn
■ chine in that neighborhood. The wom
an had been waiting for some one to
speak right out, and that was right in
the Dover man's line.
In a very handsome little church, not
200 miles from Indianapolis, the rend
ing platform Is adorned by a remark
ably beautiful pulpit, flanked by equal
ly decorative chairs. The artistic
oaken pulpit, hand carved in passion
flowers and lilies, and bordered with
trefoil, is almost the "graven image"
in tlio eyes of the association of church
women who earned and purchased the
pulpit furnishings when the edifice was
built, lteccntiy a new minister came
into charge of the congregation, lie
was a little fellow, and one day casual
ly remarked to one of his feminine
church members: "Mrs. Badger, that
pulpit is entirely 100 high for mr;
1 think it had better lie cut down n tri
fle." "Cut down?" the horrified woman
exclaimed. "Cut that pulpit down?
No, indeed; it would ruin It; it would
be much easier togeta taller preacher."
In the bosom of the unexhausted
west the old, feudal, romantic terminol
ogy is changed into something more
real and not less aifecting. Nothing is
more interesting in the nine o'clock bell
and enrly-to-bed revival now observ
able than the fact that the word "cur
few," in spite of its respectable nnees
try, is rejected, and for it is substituted
in tlie west the vital and sibilant ex
pression, "Kid-whistle." "Kid-whistle
shall not sound to-night" is declaimed
in a thousand schools. The age of chiv
uiry and curfews is gone.
A CHICAGO whist enthusiaist, who

wrote and published a liook on the
game, and sent one copy to a famous
Milwaukee player for his opinion of it.
In about a week the book was returned
to liiin, with the following letter: "My
Dear Sir: Your favor of the inst.,
accompanied by your book, was duly
received. I have read it very carefully.
It seems to lie a very good game, hut
I don t think it is as good a game as
whist."

The Resinning of the Republic.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Today is the one hundred and seventh
anniversary of the formal inauguration
of the government of the United States.
Upon April 30, 1789, George Washington
took his oath of office for the first time
as president of the nation which he had
guided to definite independence. Ho
had fought for the now union with sword
and tongue, and he was at last to set the
untried wheels of its experimental
machinery of government into successful
motion. His journey from Mount Ver
non was undertaken with real reluct
ance, however, he was "reluctant,*' as
he himself declared, "in the evening of
life to exchange a peaceful abode for an
ocean of difficulties." He added, never
theless, in characteristic spirit: "Be
the voyage long or short, although I
may be deserted by all men, integrity
and firmness shall never forsake me."
These historic words recall a true sense
of the inevitable perils and mistakes
which were bound to beset his pioneer
administration; too frequently the exact
difficulty of iiis task has been not prop
erly appreciated in censuring Washing
ton for his ultra-Federalistic leanings
during his presidential career. Between
the two scales of the over-aristocratic
Hamilton and the over-democratic Jeffer
son. Washington kept the balance so
true that his memory as the first presi
dent deserves perpetual gratitude.
Washington's inaugural journey to
New York through Philadelphia was a j
triumphal procession. The then federal j
capital was illuminated in his honor, and
he was welcomed by Vice President John j
Adams (already installed in the senate), j
both houses of congress, the governor
of the state, tin; magistrates of the city,
and a vast concourse of the people.
Upon the inaugural day the oath of office
was administered by Robert It. Liv
ingston. chancellor of New York state.
A great date is April 30 in the annals
of America. As has been well said: "It
would be most happy if that date could
be substituted for March 4 as the the in
auguration day of the second century of
our constitutional existence. It would
ffdd two months to the too short second
term of congress, give a probability of
propitious weather for ceremony, and
be a perpetual commemoration of the
day on which Washington entered upon
His great office, and our national govern
ment was practically organized."
The Law Vindicated.
From the WRkesbarro Leader.
By the severe sentence that he im
posed on tin? Hazleton gang of miscreants
Judge Woodward has shown that there
is at least one judge in Pennsylvania
that can be depended upon to stamp out
this carnival of crime that is making the
fair name of Luzerne county a byword
and reproach. For some time past there
has been entirely too much leniency ex
tended to murderers and other high
grade criminals in this county by the
judges of the court, not only in the mild
ness of the sentences imposed but by the
benefit of liberal rulings in their favor
in the matter of admission of evidence.
All our judges have leaned so far to
the side of morcy that there has been
some slight feeling among the people
that criminals wore receiving more pro
tection at the hands of the court than
were peaceable and law-abiding citizens.
Of course it is better to err on the side
of mercy than of injustice and our
judges are better informed and have
more experience than their critics. In
the conduct of cases the interests of the
public are in very safe hands when our
judges are on the bench.
In the case of the three Italians son
tenced by Judge Woodward there was
not a single redeeming point to be made,
in their favor. Their guilt was settled
upon them beyond question, and tin?
judge must have been thoroughly satis
lied upon that head although lie made
no mention of it in his remarks in pas
sing sentence. Thoroughly convinced
of their guilt he had tin* courage of his
convictions and imposed upon them tin*
full penalty of tin: law. All honor to
Judge Woodward!
Awful Condition of Things in (ilusgow.
A dispatch from Glasgow tells the tale
of the awful conditions brought about
by tin* city ownership of street cars,
water works, gas, electric light, public
baths, public tcuemcnt houses, etc., in
that city, says an exchange. After
January, 1897, no taxes of any kind are
to he levied on real estate or any other
property, the revenues from these public
utilities being sufficient to bear all tin?
expenses. With the object lessons of
American cities in enjoying the freedom,
of being taxed from 2 to 8 per cent on
every species of property, the ignorance
and stupidity of the Glasgowites in suf
fering such oppression and inconven
ience is one of tin? mysteries yet unsolv
ed! Why, Americans, breathing the air
of freedom so long, would shed the last
drop of their blue blood and have old
glory trailed in gore rather than submit
to a government that refused to tax
them Into rags to build up millionaires.
It is funny how Glasgowites refuse to
learn from our glorious methods.
The North Side will be doing fairly
well in politics next fall if tin? candidates
from tliis end, Messrs. Lelsenring. Mc-
Carthy, PePierro and Butter, are elected.
A congressman, senator, county com
missioner and representative make a
combination that seldom go to one

Snow fell to the depth of thrffo inches
