VALID!
(Continued from First Pnffe)
in the county for a rholly distinct
purpose 30,000 acres of laud, a
quantity almost equal In area to the
ordinary township ; this is to be ab
solutely owned, controlled and im
proved for the exclusive rise of the
stockholders j taxation is limited to
a valuation put upon unwonted wild
lands of the state, a valuation
equalling probably one or two dol
lars per acre. Certainly the resi
dents and taxpayers of Pike county
were interested in the subject of the
bill But the title does not intimate
in what county of the sixty-four
counties the Park is located ; it may
be in Philadelphia county or any oth
er. If the-title had read Blooming
dalo Park Association in Pike county
this might have attracted the atten
tion of those interested in the sub
ject of the bill
But not only does the uamo fail to
call attention to the location but we
think it misleading. The snbjoctas
seen from the body of the act, to
our mind, not only does hot Indicate
a park in the ordinary common ac
ceptation of that term but it plainly
points out something entirely dif
ferent. It may be conceded, that
the word "park" has boon usod in
other ages and in other countries,
occasionally to mean a traot of land
enclosed and stocked with beasts of
ohase, such as that desoribed by
Xenophon as belonging to Cyrus,
King of Persia, filled with the wild
beasts which he hunted on horse
back j but we doubt whether the
ordinary citizen of Pike county got
his notion of a park from Xenophon.
Nor is it probable the members of
the General Assembly had his
Anabasis before them when they
passed the bill, at least not in the
original Ureek letter which the
leanned counsel for the appellee
have so aptly quoted and printed in
their paper book. Nor do we think
they got their meaning of the word
from Abbot's Law Dictionary. "A
portion of one's ground whioh he
has by lawful right enclosed and
stocked with beasts of chase. There
are other somewhat exceptional
definitions which would perhaps fit
certain parts of the subject desoribed
in the act, but the American mean
ing of "park," is that given in the
Century Dictionary No. 3, "A pieoe
of ground set apart and maintained
for publio use and laid out in such
a way as to afford pleasure to the
eye as well as oppnrtnnity for open
air reoreation." This definition
gives' the common understanding of
the term. It fits Fairtnount Park,
Philadephia j Central Park, New
York j Highland Park, Pittsburg,
and probably every, publio park in
the country. It is not applicable to
private inclosures enjoyed by the
few to the exclusion of the publio;
it is not applicable to a Game and
Fish Preserve, whioh the snbjeot of
this act clearly is, as understood
both in this country and England.
By this title the resident of Pike
county, even if he knew the park
was to be located In his county,
would assume it would be an open
place for his and his family's
recreation along with others of
the publio. He would not dream
that it was for the exclusive en
joyment of the few ; that he would
be hailed before a magistrate by a
deputy theriff, fined and possi
bly imprisoned, if be set foot upon
it. We think therefore, while the
title did not express the subject of
the act at all, it was at the same
time misleading, because it would
prompt belief, that it had reforenoe
to a wholly different subject. Dor
sey's Appeal, 72 Pa. 195.
It must be noted, that this act
was passod in 1871, throe yoars be
fore tho constitution of 1874 went
into effect ; and while the amend
ment of 1861 had cured the evils
arising from "omnibus" legislation,
there was another evil not yet
touched, that of reading bills by
their titles alone and at onoe passing
them. It was not unusual at that
time to pass a score of bills in an
hour, that were road only by their
titles ; this can no longer be done ;
by Article 3 of the Constitution
every bill must now be read at
length'on three different days in
each house besides must be printed
for the use of the members before
the final vote be taken.
While the main objects of this
bill are commendable, we doubt if
some of its penal provisions could
have obtained a majority of the
General Assembly if the entire bill
had been read in both houses on
three different days, and printed
fur their use before a liual vote.
However this may be, we are (In
eub'dly of the opinion that the sub
ject of the act is notclearly expressed
in the title and the act is therefore
unconstitutional.

This decisi' n does not nffect the
property of the association, except
to again cast it upon the stockhold
ers as individuals, While there is
no artificial person to hold it, there
is nothing to hinder thoir organize
tion under tho general laws of the
Commonwealth to carry out their
avowed purpose nnder this act, with
such reasonable protection In their
object as the general laws afford.
As to the remaining two reasons
for reversal epeoifled in the assign
ment of error, to wit: 1. That fie
bill contains more than one subject.
2. That it deprives the defendant of
his right of trial by jnry, it is not
necessary to consider them, as what
we have already said said is decisive
of the issue.
The judgment of the Superior
Court is tevorsod, and that of the

An accident occurred near the

morning when Byron William and
his two children, Earl and Bessie,
and Mrs. A. J. Owens and daughter,
Benin, were thrown in the river by
the capsizing of a boat in which they
were crossing the river to take a
train. The water is not deep at
that point presence of mind in cling

them probably saved their lives.

One of the most atrocious trage
dies occurred in this town Friday
evening that ever happened In this
vicinity. Friday evening about 7 p
m. victor Hi. tjevana and his wife
were sitting by their stove convers
ing when some person fired two
loads of buckshot through the win
dow wounding Mrs. Be vans so that
she died without regaining oonsoious
ness at 5 a. m. Saturday morning.
The buckshot, of which there were
eight in eaoh load, struck her in the
right temple and faoe while Mr
Bevans' jaw and arm were shatter
ed. He ran to the phone and called
Elvin Smith, his neighbor, and also
Ky Smith merchant at Bevans. The
news spread rapidly and soon there
were scores of excited men on the
grounds. It is thought Mr. Bevans
will recover providing blood poison
does not set in.
Mrs. Bevans, wife of Victor E.
Bevans who died Saturday morning
from the wounds received in the
shooting of the night before, was
about 44 years old. She was an
estimable woman and her many aots
of kindness will long be remembered
in this community. To sum it up
she had not an enemy.

"Congratulate you and thank you
heartily on behalf of American peo
ple" was the message sent by the
president to the American representa
tives on the Alaskan Boundary
Commission, when the award was
made known last week, in London.
Owing to the fact that Loid Alver
stone, the British commissioner, was
convinced of the justice of the Ameri
can claims a majority of the com
mission was able to reach a decision,
which is final and settles for all time
the long disputed question of the
Alaskan boundary. The two Canadian
commissioners refused to sign the
award although they signed the map
as that agreed upon by the majority.
The line established gives us nearly
all the territory in dispute and runs
so far east as to shut Canada off from
all the bays, inlets and other means
of access to the sea, from Portland
Canal to Mount St. Ellas. This gives
us entire possession of the Lynn Canal
which is the main entra nee to the
Klondike region and the territory
which Canada was most anxious to
obtain. The Portland Canal, together
with the Islands of Pearse and Wales,
was given to Canada, but the two
smaller Islands, which liejust outside
and are of immense strategic value,
remain in our possession. The
islands also command Port Simpson
which is to be the terminus of the
new transcontinental railway. The
Canadian commissioners are bitter In
their criticism of the award while
the Canadian public calls in question
the honesty of the British government
and its representative, the Lord
Chief Justice Alverstone. They
declare that the formalities of the
international tribunal were used
merely to trade Canadian territory
for the friendship of this country, and
that Canada will no longer dare to
trust her interests to the care of the
British government. Sentiment In
England is divided between those
who say that Canada has just cause
of complaint and those who declare
that the refusal of the Canadian
commissioners to sign the award, as
well as the general attitude of the
colonists, is undignified and an insult
to the highest judicial representative
of the British Empire. The Canadians
relieve their feelings by talk of
annexation and independence, but no
importance is attached to such talk
here, except as an indication of the
independence of feeling in Canada as
well as of her loose connection with
the mother country. It is of interest
however to notice that the resent
ment of our northern neighbors is
directed against England and not
against the United States.
Do Good It Pays.
A Chicago man has observed that,
'"Jood deeds are better than real
estate deeds some of the latter are
worthies'. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend a helping
hand. You cannot possibly lose by
it." Most men appreciate a kind
word and encouragement more than
substantial help. There are personal
in this community who might truth
fully say : "My good friend, cheer
up. A few doses of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will rid you of your
cold, and there is no danger what
ever from pneumonia when you use
that medicine. It alw.iys cures. I
know it for it has helped me out
uiuuy a time." Bold by Bnlch &
