All the pur chasers being plaintiffs in the writs The "Army ennteen" will share the attention of Congress with "Trust Regulation" and "Tariff Revision." Our statesmen have their hands full Dare they undertake such legislation Tom Johnson may be politically dead, but tho political grave robbers will not hesitate to dig him up if they think that three-cent fare is what the people wish. The democratic family burying grounds are quite extensive anyway. The Montana republican editors are still congratulating themselves on the State going republican the first time for ten years, which they con eider pretty good "off year" work. Serious inroads have been mailt this year into the immense crow roosting places near Arlington, just across the Potomac fro"in the capital in securing material for the great national democratic election dish. President Eliot, of Harvard Uni versify, recently expressed himself rather pessimistically on the "failure of popular education." He should mt be blamed. Harvard has had the, worst of it at football this season and of course everything looks dark to the learned doctor. The Monroe docriue is interprets t ed by the state department along the lines laid down by President Roosevelt, . that the United States do not construe it to mean that it shelters any of the American repub lics against the results of their own wrong doing or violations of inter national amenity. The only con dition is that any punishment in flicted upon our weaker neighbors must 7nt include the seizure of American soil. Uucluiui' d Letters.

It would seem that a "Black Maria" would occasionally be a proper vehicle in which to bring passengers from Port Jervis. The topic for next S ibh.ith morn ing is the "Blessed Life. lor the evening "A Sacrifice that. Counts " The next session of the Newark conference will be held on the first week of April at Hilsey Street church, Newark. This is cer.tral and will give general satisfaction. Since no invitation wag received, the place of meeting was fixed by the presiding elders. Next Sabbath morning will be hold the regular communion service. fliia is one of the services of the church that every christian should attend. It helps the soul to rise to loser fellowship with G d. It gives us a chance to openly confess Christ. It can not be neglected without great spiritual loss. This lYidny evening the service will be of a preparatory nature Wo urge that as far as possible all ittend this meeting. On the Sabbath mornin gs for the noxt three weeks the topics for con sideration will bo "The Christ of the Pentateuch". "The Christ of the Poets and Prophets", and "The In carnation . Tno Christmas season will moan mere to us if we approach it historically, and realizfl that tlx life of Jesus, the Christ, runs back of all time, and the Incarnation the central fact of all histoiy. It will be of interest to Sabbath ichool workers of the county to iearn that Mrs. Birnos has been pro motet! from the suporintendency of the primary work of Perm., to the international primary secretaryship. This is a just ar.d worthy promotion for Mrs. B.irnes has proven her worth, as those who know her best can testify. Those who were at the decision Jay service in the Sabbath school, last Sabbath were glad to hear Mr. Sherman, and witness the turning of many young hearts to Hun who is the world's Redeemer. . The question of "what shall we do with our ex-presidents" is causing the democratic parly more worry than one man in forty years might reasonably be expected to create. Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes im possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is gond too, but it is very hard lo .digest. The time to treat consump ti m is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't .Kceive yourself any longer. iSoin with .the first thought '.o lake Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the butter; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. It it is consump tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will betrirt in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment yuu ill win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, ict all yuu can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment.

It, is most sincerly hoped that there may be some who will avail them selves of this opportunity to join us Those who feel that they are Christ ians owe it to themselves nnd to their Savior to identify themselves with the church and Christian poo pie In tho common bond of nnlty ft ad service. My dear raider, if tho- words apply to you, please ponder them in your heart. Preparatory service will be held this evening at 7. ISO after which the session will meet to receive those who propose joining the church the following Sabbath. Please inform the pastor of your intention a dav or so before meeting the session that he may talk over t-ome Import ant matters with you. Those democrats who were dttplar- ing last October that it. would really be tho host thing for the democratic party to let the republicans win in the November elections, are doubt. less well satisfied. It turned out just as they wished. From Havana oomes news of Her lous noting among strikors. The mayor and other city otlie'nls aro said to be in sympathy with the mob, and as a result the police re fuse to inter'ere. Congressional leaders nre slow to outline the plan of legislaticn pro posed for this winter. In fact they are uncertain as to the policy which will be adopted. If a majority can ho rallied to oppose the president's plan, it will he useless to look for any new legislation. It would seem that after the experier.ee of the re cent campaign a safe majority will he found who will follow tho lead of President Roosevelt. MODERN SURGERY. ETtrythlnit Deprnrin I'pnn the CleAH Itncnii anil RxrltislvmpiiM of the Operation. Your modern surgeon of not is a "sterile" man. The operating room, at most hernH't ieally sealed nnd at a tern. pe rat ure of 10O degrees or thereabouts, is purified daily by niennn of a hose throwing a solution of bichloride of mercury over ceiling, walls and floors. The surgeon arrives in an anteroom in his civilian's garb. He is required to be clean shaven, like a monk, says the New l ork Press1. His clothes are re moved. Two at tendonts in the steriliz ing rmim hand him a w hite duck gown reaching from collar to heel, and a cowl of the same material, which covers tightly every part of his head except eyes-, nose and mouth. The sleeves of the gown reach to his elbow. He in cases his hnuds in the thinnest, finest sterilized rubber gloves These gar ments are handed to him in sterilized tongs. There hns been no human con tact. Thus etpiipped, he is prepared to saw and slue. INVENTOR OF THE BATON. Hon It Canard the Death of the Maa Who Flrat Introduced the Hand Lender's W'nnd, The inventor of the baton has been discovered. According to the invest! gations. of a Frenchman the credit be longs to Lully, the composer, who eventually had cause to regret his in vention. Hefore he adopted the baton, con ductors were in the habit of pounding on the floor with their feet orclapping their hands to mark the time. Lully found it wearisome to keep his foot constantly in motion, aud so used stick to strike the floor and beat time lie used a pole six feet long. One day he brought down the pole with such force that It struck his foot and made a deep wound. He paid no attention to the matter. The wound grew worse and ult imately caused his death. After Ins lime conductors tried more anil more to improve the baton and it was ultimutcly brought to its present form. Tall Men In Indiana.

The Isnall.h Dlplatnal Wore II, Kven Vthen He Was lapslied In the gea. Recently a party from the embassies at Constantinople went to insprctihe international -lifeboat service on the lilack sea coast- At one of the life- saving- stations they thought they would like to test the conditions of life-boat work, so, clothing themselves in bathing costumes ami cork jackets, they euch took an oar in n lifeboat, to the huge delight of the Turkish boal- meii. One of the secretaries of the llritish embassy is never seen without an eye glass, and is said even to slcvp with it. (hi this ocension he was faithful to his eyeglass nnd solcuiulv embarked in a cork jacket anil eyeglass. All the prop- exercises were gone through, and finally the boat was enpsi.ed and righted again by its ok n crew. As they crept out from under theenpsized boat a howl of surprise came from the Turks, for the secretary's head ap peared, with the eyeglass firmly fixed In its proper position, its owner tuk- ing it ns a matter of course that it should be there. ONLY A LITTLE CLIP. Inarenlona Devlre fnr lloldlna; Pa per. Whlf-h Has nrcume Verjr l'nuular. A short time ago someone put on th market an ingenious device for hold ing sheets of paper together. It took the place of the pin, says the Xew York Press, lly "short time' is meant a matter of some five or six years. To day there are more than ail different kinds f clips, selling from () cents per 1.000 to a5 cents per 100, and con siderable capital is invested in llieir manufacture. The same general prin ciple is followed in all, and it is as sumed that each improvement is pat ented. Corporations have been formed to make nothing but clips, and competition Is lively. The original patentee will no doubt become a mil lionaire, though he may make only one cent on each 1,000 sold. It is the sim ple, dirt-cheap invent ion that brings the big returns something so inex pensive that all the millions of us want it. k I'nulc flam's Bait-Water F'nrm.
