J. (I. Van Kttcn, PuBLIHnKR, MUford, Tike County, Pa. A bill bns been introduced in the New York legislature Rflking an appropriation o f 150,000 to build dikes to prevent tbe OUR XEXT MEMBER Delawnre overflowiiig part of Port Jervia. If the bill passes and tbe diking is done the high water will be confined to a channel of probably less than 700 feet wide, wheroas now it can overflow a much wider space. ThiB may mean much to Matamorns. If the water ia forced into a narrower channel naturally the volume will rise higher and become more rapid and destructive to banks. Can the Matamoras shore withstand such enoroachmont with out being strengthened. It would seem that the only safety might lie in riprapping It such distance as would preclude the possibility of its being further torn away. This work -would be expensive and perhaps beyond the means of those directly menaced. It would seem proper therefore that if the state of New York will bear the expense of pro tecting her citizens, Pennsylvania should do likewise for hers, and our next member of the legislature should make an effort to this end. It will not do for our member to go there with the idea that no labor is necessary to accomplish the result Be must be persistant, active, wide awake and should have the ability to advocate the measure on the floor of tbe Douse. If the people of the county want such benefits they should send as their representative a man able to ask for, and ready to insist on having, them. The oonfession of arson, in burn ing Van Auken's store at Dingmans, made by Ueorge J agger, seems under the circumstances to be the act of an insane man or a fool. Why be should seels to further blacken his character and to discredit any efforts which might be made to procure for him a new trial or clemency for tbe crime of which he has been convicted is not explainable by any ordinary process of reason ing. SSuoh efforts would indicate that he is devoid of all moral sud mental responsibility. Whether his alleged confessions are lies or the truth they prove him a consummate fool under the circumstances or else they demonstrate that he is men tally unbalanced. If he seeks a new trial be should know, if responsible, that any udinissions of former mis demeanors would dotruct from his chances, and if he dtwiroa hanging he cannot make it more certain than by allowing events to take their course. There is no reason why he should further distress his family aud their friends by an atto upt to add to the liat of the crimes. If he is guilty he should bo allowed to sink out of si;ht without further notoriety and all boussutiouhl attempts to keep himaulf before the public as a notorious criminal should bo sup pressHid. Lhs life so lar is a sullieieut example of evil without placing more of it on publio view.

CroM, Enq., of Palmyra is keeping nn eye on the commissioners otiice with a possible intention of being a candi date at the republican primaries a year or more hence. If Old Time has a forelock there is nothing like getting a grip on it. Apropos of the above the same veracious old diime hints that already nearly a dozen democrats are cautiously raising their heads above the green spot to see how the land lies. Some ol them will likely see ft favorable prospect from their point of view and learn Inter on that while the land seems to lie all right there ate plenty of people on it who do like wise. The residence advertised iu Br other column is all as is describei1. For a summer homo or permanent residence it cannot be surpassed tr town. Prominently situated it i yet sufficiently retired to be pleasnn' at all seasons. Any one wishing ti live in Miltord could not select s home more satisfactory for conven ience and comfort, and where i. there a more attractive place than this. The finest scenery, the purest air, the beot roads, the absence ot every objectionable feature renders Milford an ideal place for health and recreation. FOLLOW THE WAR AT YOUR FIRESIDES The North American's Chart Will Enable Tou to Keep Track of Conflet Every Move Can Be Reproduced What means have you at youi disposal of keeping pace with the daily march of events that go to make up the fascinating history ol tbe great conflet that is being waged in the Far East between Russia and Japan? How do youj permanently fix in your memory the losses and victor ies of the striving nations, the movements of their troops and figot ing craft, the vessels that have been disabled by the Japanese, the sta tions of fleets as they are sent hither and thither by orders from St. Petersburg or Tokio, or at the wills of their oommanders? What strategio endeavors, con summated in the investment of this town or that, or the transferring of a naval or land base from one point to another, did Japan or Russia make last Friday, the Tuesday be fore that, or during the preceding week? ' To enable its readers to answer what has been suggested in these questions in a word, to transfer in minature the theatre of war from Korea, Manchuria, Japan, or wher ever it may extend, into the home The North American next Sunday will provide the necessary equip ment. This will consist of a full-page map in colors of the territory em braced within the area involved or likely to be involved in the war. With the map will be provided fao smiles of nil the Russian and Jiipan enso battleships, each correctly named, together with groups of Rus sian and Japanese soldiery. By pasting the battleships and the groups on bits of pasteboard and providing every one with a pin, ihey are ready for service at onco. Red is the distinguishing color of the Japanese troops and ships and blue that of the Russian forces aud vessels. The map should be mounted on a flat surfaoe, preferably after having been fastened to heavy cotton cloth. The ose of the cloth will prevent the paper upon which the map is printed from being easily toru or mutilsted. There is no possible action on either side that the cable will report tbatoannot instantly duplicated upon The North American's war chart. Used in conjunction with war maps given away last Sunday, the war chart will provide an infallible index to all that goes on iu the East. The war chart will be printed on the first pnge of the magazine sec tion of The North American of Sun day, March 6. The edition is limited, aud your order should be filed with your newsdealer without delay. This war chart can bo obtained with no other newspaper.

Lakes Are Not Public The court of Errors and Appeals In New Jersey has decided that the right to fish in an Inland lake in that state cannot be separated from the ownership and taken under the (Miwer of eminent domain. Tins reverses the ruling of tiie Supreme court in the case in which Andrew Albright sought to establish his exclusive right to control Swartswood Lake which be owns. An act was passed In 1901 autho rizing a Lake anil Park Commission to condemn hikes of over 100 acres for public fishing. Under the act several in Sussex county were con demned and from this Albright ap pealed. lie was defeated in the Supreme court, but this decision has now been reversed, and he will have control of his lake. It is probable that several other lakes In Sussex county may now be closed. The court assigns two reasons for its opinion. First, that the natural supply of fish is so small as to be incapableof meeting a public demand, and second, that the uhject of acquir ing such right Is not "use" which Implies utility, but mere sport or pastime. It is held "that the provision of the constitution that land may be taken "for public use" does not mean "for public enjoyment" or "for public purposes" or generally "for the public," but that the expression implies an idea of utility or useful ness as a prerequisite of the state's exercising its power of eminent domain. Rev. E. M. Smead is on a brief visit to New York, Mrs. C. VV Hull, who has been spending several weeks in the south, is txpected home tomorrow. There is a growing belief here that after all the ground hog knows his business as a weather prophet. Nicholson, Pa., was visited by a fire Feb. 20 in which 19 buildings in the central part of the town were destroyed. A decided drop in the thermometer last niglit probably postpones any poshiiile fear from the ice gorges for some days. So far there have been none of the usual signs of spring, no blue birds or robins, though a few gener ally appear before March.

Vermont Goes Dry At an election held Monday in Vermont less than 60 out of 246 towns voted for license. Five of the six cities were against licenses. "When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. j Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and I thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment. W will sid you the penny, . e., at sample free.
