Dr. L. de Plasse of New York hss nponed an office in Port Jervis and it is said will give particular atten tion to diseases of the lungs and heart. He is reputed as taking high r ink as a specialist. Assistant Cashier Dudley Ryman was taken ill while New York last Kundny and since has been confined to his home here. A dense smoke, said to arise from forest fires In New Jersey, prevailed here yesterday. A fire broke out on the Milford cemetery Wednesday and burned over part of the wood land.

Ninety thousand worker in the textile nulls in Philadelphia were on strike this week and praotioally 600 mills are idle. The strikers want a deorease in the number of hours work, but no decrease in pay. George E. Ilorton and wife of ranchvillo were in town a oouple of days this week attending to business matters. The school directors of the inde pendent school district of Milford organized yesterday by electing G. A. Swepeniser president, Dunham Gregory treasurer, and Dr. R. G. Barckley necretary. The other members are W. T. Struble, Banj. Kyte and George Peroz. William Van Horn, a cosmopolitan from New Jersey, was arrested last evening for general disorderly con duct. Thii morning the chief bur goss sentenced him to get ont of town in half an hour. He promised to exile himself The residence of John H. Dewitt in Port Jervis took fire early yester day morning from an exploding lamp and was completely destroyed. He was seriously burned as was also Miss Carrie A. Dewitt iu an attempt to rescue goods and valuables. Twelve hundred dollars, partly in checks, the property of the Port Jervis Building and Loan associa ted n, of which Mr. Dewitt was sec retary, were lost in the fire. Rainbow trout were placed in a dam on Brodhead's creek at Exper went Mills by Senator McPhorson of New Jersey a number of years ago. The dam broke and the trout escaped to the river. Since then they have occasionally been caught in several stream and last week three weigh ing over eix pounds were taken by Leon Bohano in the pool at tho foot of lower Itaymondskill rails. The largest was 20 inches long and weighed over three pounds. "I have been troubled for some with indigestion and sour stomach," e-iivs Mrs. Surah W. Curtis of Lee ilu.stf. , "and have been titking Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets winch have helped me very much no that now I can eat inuny things that before I could not." If you "ti.ivoaiiy trouble witn your etomach why not take these tal lota nud et well? Vor r.:ilrt by i-.-ilch -S..o, M i lam ii us, all gem?rul Moi't-s i" i'li-0 county, WHY ADAM ATE THE APTLEP The Reu1t Estimated if He Had Not Indulged Hi Appe tite for Fruit Mr. Editor, will yon n't iw nio to adapt for public iti'in nil srtiol ' which I dime ncoss recently discins ing that problntn Important to his tory of "Why Father Adam Ata tho Apple." This arllolo considers but one of several reasons but that on'; reason will be soon to bo important. It is the opinion of all who believe the Bible that, mankind would have remained Immortal if Adam had not yieldod to Kve's cntreiitioa and taken a bite ol that incious-appie in me Garden of E Inn. SnppooiiiK, how ever, that ho had retrained from so doing, where in the world wonld we find room for tin) immortal gen erations that would have come into boins since his oioa'iou. Lot us figure a few minutes to get some dim ide'i of how ninny people the world at the present dny wonld be obliRod to provide for. To keep within moderate bounds we will suppose each married couple to have had hut three children. Suppose also that each man did not enrich the world with a little citizen until 30 years of age. Also let ns suppose that but 6,000 years have elapsed since Adam's creation. Now by tho nso of a formula and an equation of geometrical progres sion solved by the use of logarithms we discover that the number of people who would be living today would be 661,108 quintillions. You pronounce this nnmber mechanical ly with bnt little comprehension of its moaning. Think a moment 661,180,000,000,000,000,000,0001 A few examples will show whether you have the idea. The surface of the whole earth (soa nud land) con tains 9,000,000 geographical square miles, or not quite 5,347 billions ot geographical square foot. The as tonishing fact at or.ee becomes evident that we cannot allow this mulitudo of people even a square foot of ground (or water suface) piece. What shall we do with them then stack them up? Very well Consider then that 123 trillion poo pie are after the foot of ground on whioh you are standing. We must heap them all on your shoulders. Suppose the average height is only four feet, how high up will they go? 492 trillions of teet or 20,000 billions of geographical miles. Remember that all around the world there would be 5,347 billions of such living columns of people, the foot of each ooinmn occupying one square foot. If your youngest grandson were at the top of yonr column he would be distant from you 1,000 million times farther than the sun. This multitude of columns we are imagining would displace not only the sun and moon but all tho stars we can see. Does this make you dizzy? Then we will use bnt one illustration further to bo sure you sompreheud tho immensity of the figures with which we started. Suppose, now, that under the weight of the column youara' sup porting you feol slightly depressed today. You have just finished read ing your paper and think yon will send a telegram to your youngst grandson on top of the column in quiring what he is doing up there. You telegraph him Bay at nine o'clock in the morning. About what time will you look for a reply? The answer i9 simple. We know the eleotrio spark is a very fleet mossengor and runs 60,000 milos a second. How much time is required to make the jump of 20,000 billions of miles that exist between yon and your youngest grandchild? Quick ! It is hardly worth reflecting upon Yonr grandchild will receive the message in 333,000 millions of sooouds which make 10,000 years. If your grandchild answers immediately you can easily ascertain in 20,000 years what he was doing this morning. It is to be regretted that at that time he will not be the youngest grand child but an old man 20.000 jea-rs of age and very likely he will be about one trillion times grandfather him self ! This is enough. It is sufficiently shown that you hardly understood tho meaning of the figures 601,180 quiuiilltons 1 It is also sufficiently shown how tieeeshary it was for rather Adam and Mother Eve to bite the apple, otherwise they would have causfd us an innumerable number of iucouvenieuces.

Let this paragraph bo our most cordial invitation to those- who may read it and who are sojourning in Milford over tho Hubbath or upon any day or evening when we hold services Come with us and we will endeavor to do thco good. The paper re:id by the pastor nt the Port Jervis Ministerial Associa- tion meeting was well recoived. The earnest discussion which followed the reading ot the paper was most enjoyable and profitable. These monthly meetings are very valuable all the wayaround. Practice for Children's day one week from next Sunday is being held twice each week. Please see to it that the children are sent to those practice meetings and that a goodly ollerlug is provided for this service Sabbath sohool missions are doing a wonderlul work in the west and other neglected fields. They are the precursors of what have afterwa'rds become strong flourishing churches. Make as good an offering ns you cnu. The treasurer of tho church informs us that the subscriptions are in several instances smaller than last year and that all are slow about coming in. Can this not be rema died in some way? Pleaso see to it that our church work is financially sustained. We consider this word snlllcieut. The Commencement exercises de serve a word of commendation from us. The children did very well indeed. The music was especially fine. The graduates deserve par ticular mention. Their productions were very creditablo und showod origiuality. We hope these young people may acquit themselves as well in life's school ns they have in their Milford school life. Our con gratulations aro extended to them with our best wishes for happy, useful, Christian lives. Plans aro being formed for a musical iu tho church parlors next Monday night under the auspices of the Y. P. 8. C.E ami for the defray ing of the publication of the church quarterly calendar. If this arrange ment is consutnated we will have the pleasure of hearing Mr. Raab play his violin and also a considera ble of our local talent, instrumental and vocal. Announcements will be made at the services next Sunday, morning and evening.

If the drouth does no further damage here there will be sufficient applos to make quito a few barrels of older. Fall pippens and Ben Davis' are well wet and so are tho old standby cider apples.
