It is hoped that she may recover

restored. The cause of her illness
waslblood lioisoning, arising from
some drug being injected in h

teeth were being extracted

of several hundred dollars in trying

MATAMORAS.
(Special Correspondence to the PllEss.)
Matamoras, Jan. 22. To the Edi
tor of tho Pike County Press. Sir
we find by observation that the
Democrats are making special pre-
,1
Ml
i
parations for the coming politico,
combat which takes place February
1M prox.
lliey have posted a nuinlM-r of
atchy notices in conspicuous places
lesignating place and time of hold
ing tuctr caucus. In tin t t lie notices
re ho numerous and the design so
leant if ul that they remind one oi
the icicles that cling to the trees,!
hit lies lines, gates posts etc after an
storm in mid winter.
Another singular thing in connec
tion with these notices is this, why
did thev use common steel tacks to
tasten them in position when the in-
time tax was said to be such n good
hing, and was originated by such a
iirilhant Democrnnc statesman us
McMillan? Rill anol her strong intu
ition that election is approaching
s the fact that one will lind on near
ly every street corner the Dcmocra-
pohtlcal bosses absorbed ill Keep
oiiversation. It is obvious t hat the
Demo Tilts intend to lend irom t lit?
fact that they hold their caucus in
advance of the Republicans this
pring. Perhaps it is good policy
nil a wise precaution on tneir jiart
to do so, as it will give their nomi
nees a few hours advance over their
ipiionents to canvass the township.
Would it not be a good plan for each
one of their candidates to select one
of their numerous bosses toaecomp-
nnv them m making their round,
as there is no need in performing
tliis task alone when tin- party lais
such a number to expound their fal
lacious doctrines. Their notices
read as follows : "A Democratic cau
cus will 1m- held in Millers Hall. Mat-
n moras Pa. for the purpose of plac
ing in nomination candidates tor the
township oilicos Saturday night Jan.
i, lSilti."
Would it not be move proper if
they read as follows. A Democratic
caucus will be held in Millers saloon
on Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing for the purpose ot placing In
nomination victims for the township
ofllces, for if present indications are
not deceiving the candidates will cer
tainly lie vict ions after the ballots
are counted. We can expect to see
published after the affair what n
grand success it was, and what nble
men were nominated to lill tho ofll
ces, also the large numbers present
and how enthusiastic they were
Yes, there is no doubt a limit the
crowd that will assemble on this oc
casion, licca use it means a large (juan
tityof free beer, and alter imbibing n
large percentage of the beverage they
will become vociferous, and ready to
combat with anything or anyone
who dares impugn their actions

Some Whys We Are Mot Wise Enough to
Answer.
(8Mcial Correspondence to the I'liliss.)
Matamoras, Jan. 22. Why do
men make laws so that ouo man can
sell tho vile stuff which causes an
other man to break the law, and dis
turb tho peace and then send him to
jail, while the other one is not dis
turbed? Why do men make la ws to fine the
man who kills a robin, and allow
men to sell that which kills both body
and soul of his brother man?
Why do Republicans hesitato to
take tho Prkss? Because they are
not looking for office perhaps.
Why do ministers of the Gospel
imagine that their only duty con
sists in preaching two sermons on
eunuay anil attending one prayer
meeting in the week, while some
memljers of their church are sick at
homo, and have not been able to at
tend church for fourteen months.and
hardly know the man who presides
over the church to which they lie
long? Why do ministers flatter them
selves mat a gooti Hcnnonixer is
worth more than a good pastor.

Bulletin No. !!2 of the State Col
lege gives tables showing weight,
size nnd productiveness of several
varieties of strawberries. Thirty
seven kinds were tested, but the fol
lowing seem to be the only ones
which gave satisfactory results:
Centennial, Crawford, Crescent.
Cumlicrland, Sinister, Van Deman
and Win-field.
The second year after planting is
generally regarded ns yielding the
largest and liest crop of berries, but
this is shown by the table not to lie
invariably true, for the fourteen vnr
ities planted in 1KHL, 8 yielded more
liU'ially in the third than in the
second year,andof 15 other varieties
planted in 1N'.2, 13 bore moro heave
ly in tho second year than in the
first after planting. Several kinds
of blacklierries were tested, but the
results were not sufficiently satisfac
tory to warrant any defiinite report
One novelty is mentioned as a na
tive white blackberry called the
Ingersoll. Plant very thrifty, erect
canes, very green and almost thorn
less. Not yet in bearing and will
prolmbly prove very deficient in this
rr.-lK'ct.
Ibis general description would
seem to be suggestive of the results
secured by another Ingersoll, of the
human species.
Twenty-two varieties of raspberries
were tested, but the following only
show results which would entitle
them to much consideration. Co
lumbian, very late, said to lie a cross
between Cuthliort and Gregg.

This Is so Sudden.
Womankind says, a bright, well
known and good woman who wastes
precious hours in answering silly
questions that are soggy to slushi
ness in the column of a popular
woman's or rather "ladies "journal
saul recently in reply to some im
printed question that no woman has
a right to think a man loves her be
fore he says so. In other words a
woman's modest and innocent na
ture makes it necessary that, she
should bo a fool. She is to go
through life wearing an air of self
depreciation, and if a man whom
she can receive as a friend, and who
is worthy of confidence, respect and
her affection, pays her marked at
tentions sho is to supposo that he
simply has a brotherly interest in
her, and when ho does declare, if
her conduct does not prevent him
from so doing, his love, the good
and innocent maiden must be able to
assumo an air of tho greatest sur
prise, and covered with a confusion
of blushes, murmer " Oh Mr Jones
this is so sudden ! " She has no
right to see that a man loves her :
sho is to lio to herself and to him
in the interest of a proper maidenly
reserve.
If we were a man in search of a
wife we would prefer a woman with
less maidenly feeling, and moro
sense and honesty.
Tendency Toward Sanitation.
Wo can see in many different
parts of tho country the effect of
more people crowding into a given
area than was tho ease a few years
ago. Sowago that onoo went into
the nearest stream must now bo dis
posed of on more scientfic principles
and water, once pure and abundant
and near at hand, must be gathered
and brought from greater distances.
In our great cities the sanitary con
ditions aro being more carefully
looked into, and greater precautions
aro found absolutely necessary to
preserve tho public healtli. While
some, even large, cities are slow to
recognize tho altered conditions.and
continue tho wasteful methods of a
generation now iist, tho general
tendency is toward a healthy change
in practice and a wise provision for
the near future. Engineering News
Vaccination in Germany.
The Supreme Court of the German
Empire has just pronounced sen
tence and ordered judgment in a
case concerning vaccination. Dr.
Max Boehm, who is a determined
opponent, was prosecuted for hav
ing certified to the successful vac
cination by him of several children,
because it was held that ho had
used a diluted lymph, incapable of
conferring immunity. Tho lower
court decided against him, but the
judgment was reversed by tho Su
preme Court of Leipzig. The health
authorities were not satisfied, ami
brought him before tho same courts
again on the same charge. Tho
lower court again decided against
him, and he appealed to the Su
preme Court, but it sustained the
judgment and he wus sentenced to
two months' imprisonment.
