INSURANCE MATTER.
In the report of the insurance com
missioner of Pennsylvania consid
erable since is devoted to a discus
sion of the abuses thnt have grown
into the mutual system. As the
law was formerly construed it has
been possible for a few persons to
secure a charter for a mutual fire
company, and without the safe
guard of capital, do practically the
same kind of business done by ft
joint stock company. Mr. Lambort
puta a more stringent construction
on the law, and takes the ground
that a mutual company exceeds the
powers granted in its charter when
it departs from the purely mutual
system. His view is that they are
not created to speculate with, and
he recommends that the law "be
changed so as to compel them to
work on a purely mutual plan, and
to be confined within reasonable teiv
ritorial limits. Also to prohibit
them from issuing cash policies.
DOGS AND SHEEP.
Judge Taylor, of Washington
county, has decided that the act
making it lawful to kill dogs found
or known to be worrying sheep, is
not repealed by the later acts, mak
ing dogs personal property, and pro
viding for their taxation, lie says
the owners of exposed and defence
less live stock, when it is attacked
by neighbors' dogs, and they are
found worrying it, is not required
to suffer them to escape, thereby
rendering them liable to return per
haps at night or in his absence, and,
after his flock is ruined leave him
with no other redress than a suit
against, in most cases, an impecuni
ous owner of the dog if known, or
an already depleted dog tax fund
IS HE DEAD.
Frederick Frutchy left his home
in Monroe county in 1871 in search
of work, and lias not since been
heard from. Letters of administra
tion have been granted on his estate,
and April 2 the court will hear evi
dence concerning his absence and
make such decree as shall be neces
sary to give notice to him to appear
and failing to do so his estate will
be divided among his heirs.
.THE " BIKE."
The Queen of England has con
ferred the order of " soargeant bike-
men " on a young man because of
the aid he has rendered the young
princes and princesses in mastering
that machine. If bikeman then
" bike " is proper, and who will
dare dispute the Queen's English
STATE POLITICS.
At the county oonventkm held at
Nazareth the 21th, General Frank
Reeder, Secretary of the Common
wealth, was named as one of the
delegates from the Eighth Congres
sional District to the National con
vention in St. Louis.
The deplorable strait to which
the woolen industry of this country
has been brought by the Wilson tar
iff ia shown in the New York Press
of Sunday, which publiohes a list of
woolen mills in the New England
states that are running on short
time or wholly shut down. This
means ruin to many towns and an
increased flood of goods from abroad,
where woolen mills are running on
full time and proBiwrity reigns.
The recapitulation Is as follows :
Total mills affected S3
Mills shut down 14
Mills on quarter time 10
Mills on eighth time 6
Mills on half time 1
Mills practically closed 8
Operators practically Idle 7,500
Estimated annual wages of these
operators- one year apo 3,000,000
Estimated annual wages of oper
ators to-rtiiy WiO.tv
loss to the country In wages . . . 8,825,000
Los to the country In native
raw materials, say 6,000,000
The Cuban Relief has been halted
by tho refusal of the House Com
mittee to accept tho Senate resolu
tion. The House proposed a new
one, wiiich was not so good as tne
old, Ixx-nuso it said too much, and put
that on the wrong grounds. We
hope Congress will extricate itself
from the ridiculous and unsatisfac-
toiy position it now occupies on this
question.
George Bortree, of Greene town
ship, has announced himself a can
didate for county commissioner on
the Republican ticket. Mr. Bortree
is an upright, intelligent citizen and
well qualified for the office, ne
would make a creditable and con
scientious addition to the board.
Mi-s. J. Coleman Drayton has se
cured a divorce from her husband.
Now this high toned scandal and its
principal actors ought to drop out of
the public sight in the interest of
good morals.
In the Gazette of March 18, E. B,
Kintner implies that the article in
the Press signed " U. E. Hursh "
was " paid matter." We beg to cor
rect this intimation. It was pub
lished gratuitously as oorrospond-
eiu-e. ,
It is reiKirtednow that Mr. Mutch-
leris not a candidate for congress
from this district and that the only
two men who are after the nomina
tion are Mr. Hart of this county and
Dr. J. H. Shull of Monroe.
Dr. T. C. Walton, of Stroudsburg,
was unanimously elected as dele
gate to the national convention by
Monroe county Republicans, on Sat-
uraday, and was instructed to sup
port Quay for President.

A NOVEL TRIAL
The Nw Woman as a 4aror In Nw Jer
sey.
Lavton, N. J., March 17, 18o8.
Mb. Editor: Since my last regarding
the church embmglio there has been for a
time comparative quiet until on Saturday
last when trustees Major and Young wore
served with notices to appear for trial up
on certain charges and specifications. Some
of the papers were signed and some were
not, some of them stated when and where
they were to appear for trial and others did
not. These notices were not received by
them until Saturday night. All were ap
parently In Demlng's hand writing. The
charges were of the most trifling character
but as It turned out all sufficient to meet
the reqnlrments of the program mapped
out by the pastor, and framed to evade the
scandal altogether. Denting presided, al
though he was one of the principals In the
case. Young asked for adjournment on
the ground that receiving their notices Sat
urday, late In tho day, they neither had
time to notify witnesses nor procure coun
sel. The discipline distinctly states that
the accused are entitled to counsel. Dom
ing however denied the petition. Demlng
then named the Jury or committee, which
consisted of James Cole, Wm. Drake,
Phcbe Hampton, Laura Rosencranse and
Kate Kintner It is said that a sufficient
number of male members could not be ob
tained, hence the females upon the jury.
Objection was made to Wm. Drake as not
being a member of the church. Objection
over ruled, objected to as having expressed
opinions on the case, objection over-ruled.
Young asked permission to enter his pies
to charges received by hlm.but was denied.
Messrs Young and Major realising that
tho pastor, or president or whatever his
title, had matters fully In hand, and that
It was prearranged that they were to be
given the " grand bounce ' without re
ference to what evidence they might offer
In defense, quietly withdrew. They first
however banded to Demlng their pleas,
and answers to the charges In writing
These wore but once referred to during the
farce that ensued, and then Demlng stated
that the papers put him on trial and were
not therefore relevant to this case. They
were not read. The Jury set with faces
averted from the audience, and the wit
nesses, and partiarly facing the prosecutor,
E. 11. Vanncss and the pastor. This was
by direction of Demlng as he admitted
when It was objected to by Young. The
evidence; well It would be laughed out of
a civil court. If you have never attended
a church trial in the country you have been
saved one painful experience, you would
only witness a travesty upon justice that
would shock all your ideas of fair play
Leading questions put into the mouths of
witnesses and ordered written down aa
evidence by the secretary (Mrs. Minnie
Clark BevaDS). The secretary was also
directed to record testimony worded as
Demlng desired, and not a witness with
courage to correct his or her own state
ment. But no witnesses were sworn, and
perhaps It was just as well so. I wonder
If It Is characteristic of church trials that
the witnesses should all have a consuming
desire to photograph, and tlx in their
brains the exact figuring on the church
carpet. I never attended one before and
henoe the wonder. I have noted In civil
suits that most witnesses do not look aw
fully ashamed. These reflections suggest
some peculiar Ideas to me and the same
may occur to others also. The Prosecutor
In knee breeches, the Pastor In top boots,
the matronly secretary, and the new wo
men on the Jury were oddities that strikes
one as being aa peculiar In their way aa the
method of twisting testimony was in Its
way. After a dramatic recording by the
jury of Its finding upon each charge, the
pastor with assumed regret relegated
Messrs. Young and Major back to the
world, the flesh, and the devil, their
names erased from the church book and
any part or participation with the elect in
the M. E. Church at Layton N. J., ended.
This monumental farce beginning with
prayer, and ending with a hymn, reminds
one of the time when, with chanting and
praise to God, professors of the religion of
the meek, and lowly Jesus, piled high the
fagots around their unhappy victims, and
watched their dying agonies with grim, and
pious satisfaction. Thank God that we
have got past that at least. How can the
church find fault consistently with people
who draw off from aiding or contributing
to its support, or quietly refusing to con
nect themselves with it, when it sets aucb
an example as It has to this people during
the last two years or more. Down deep In
the hearts of all humanity there Is an ever
abiding sense of right and fair play, and It
will be hard for this church to obtain their
confidence when It violates that principal
as it has now done. Many persons may in
the heat of passion connect themselves wit h
a bad cause, but the Inward monitor, rea
son will again in time resume Itssway and
" the right will prevail." Factor.

A REGION OF WONDER
THE MYSTERIOUS COUNTRY NEAR
THE SCHOMBURGK LINE.
Rlgh Flatmn With Prselpltons Sldos
Which Modern Man Has fWn foible to
Scale May Contain Frhltorle Animals
and Tross Proposed as a Park.
Perhaps the result of (he Venezuela
boundary commission's work will be
the solving of one of the most remark
able geological enigmas in the world
and the exploration of what is regarded
as a unique natural wonderland. This
remarkable region is a number of ele
vated and isolated areas of land, situ
ated on what the British cull British
Guiana's southwestern boundary, which
is in the disputed territory. It is on the
British side of the Bchomburgk line.
A British Guiana newspaper describe!
this region, aa far as it is known, and
expresses the hope that the final settle
ment of the boundary controversy will
leave it well within British bounds.
Should there be another result, bow-
ever, the newspaper says, the region
should be made an international park,
something on the plan of the Yellow
stone park reservation.
The region is called by the Indians
"Rorairaa," but the several isolated
areas are known by distinctive names.
Each consists ot what might be oalled
an isolated mountain, but la really a
tableland, comprising an area of 100 or
more square miles, elevated several
60
thousand feet above the surrounding
17
country. The rocky sides of the moun
tains ate as perpendicular as the Hud
son river Palisades and entirely bare of
vegetation and have defied all attempts
to scale them. The level summits are
18
41
covered with trees and other vegetation,
and down the rocky sides fall a large
number of casoades of considerable size,
indicating the certain existence of riv
ers and streams on the mysterious sum
mits, and probably of lakes that feed
the rivers. The summits have been ob
45
83
06
served with telescopes, and are known
to be as full of plant life as the tropic
68
al plains below, but beyond this nothing
is known.
Because so little is known of the con
dition of these tablelands occasion is
given for all manner of speculation as
to what exists there. That the vegeta
tion is quite different from that on tbe
plains below the telescope shows, and
that it should be so is quite natural, aa
the tablelands are 8,000 or more feet
higher than the plains. While the cli
mate of the plains is tropical, that of
the tablelands must bo temperate, not
only because of their elevation, but also
because of the free play the winds have
about them.
Of tbe geology of the region this ex
planation is given : This part of Sonth
America rose slowly from the sea,
through successive and remote ages. The
Roraima mountains were formed pre
cisely as was the rest of the land, and
are not the result of volcanio action.
Hence they must have been above the
ocean long before the surrounding
plains appeared. They stood 8,000 feet
above tbe sea level when the neighbor
ing mountain tops were but islands in
the ocean. In the course of a period,
difficult to appreciate, tbe adjacent val
leys and plains appeared above the wa
ter and became covered with vegetation
and animal life. But the isolated pla
teaus of Roraima had a tremendous start
of the plains below. Here oomes the al
leged ground for tbe speculation that
perhaps on these mysterious summits
there exist flora and fauna unlike any
found elsewhere, forms of life that long
since disappeared from other parts of
the world, .but remained the same on
these summits because unaffected by the
influences of communication with the
outer world. All sorts of wild guesses
bave been hazarded regarding the exist
ence of strange reptiles and animals
among the streams and forests of Ro
raima. Tbe cascades falling from the sum
mits are among the highest in the
world. One is 3,000 feet high, and is
broad enough to be visible 80 miles
way. It falls sheer, without a break.
Tbe mountains from which these cas
cades fall form the dividing watersheds
of tbe Amazon, the Orinooo and tbe
Essequibo, tbe three great rivers of
South America, and the waters of the
cascades flow some to one and some to
another of these rivers. It is argued
that to supply these waterfalls there
must be a considerable body of water
on the mountain plateaus, and it is nat
ural to conclude that where there are
large bodies of water there are fish and
reptiles. The resulting conclusion that,
because these fiab and reptiles must
bave been isolated on the mountain
tops for age they are likely to be dif
ferent from any known species, is re
garded as quite natural. The mountain
plateaus form practically little countries
by themselves like islands, but more
Isolated because tbe ocean of air that
surrounds them does not afford the fa
cilities for communication with other
Islands that tbe waters of the ocean do.
One of tbeas plateaus, known as Ku
kenbam, which is better situated for ob
servation than any of tbe others, is esti
mated to have an area of 300 square
miles or more. The smallest, which
bears the name common to tbe group,
Roraima, ia estimated to contain 80 to
140 square miles.
Tbe story of this mysterious region is
not new, at least in British Uniana, It
ia many years since any scientific men
were in the region, but ohanoe travelers
and gold prospectors happen there at
odd times, and when they return to
Demerara they add their little store of
information and mystification to the
rest, rJuhomburgk pointed out tbe great
lmpurtanoe of tbe region to Great Brit
ain, as it is the dividing watershed, but
the writer in the British Uuiana news
paper does not say whether tbe explor
ing botanist bad much to say about tbe
wonders and mysteries of the Roraima
region. New York Sun.
