If general publicity is what a town needs Mil ford ought to be satisfied this year. Port Jervls merchants have also raised a fund which will be used in getting out and circulating leaflets calling attention to the surrounding sections. Some anxiety is occasioned by the fact that the Erie is discharging a number of men. About 50 have been laid off at Port Jervis, 15 at Susquehanna and the force will be probably further decreased in sev eral departments. Four towers will be temporarily discontinued. Measles are prevalent up in Sho bola. Mrs. M. C. Kyoe of Port Jervis was in town yesterday. Clyde Kipp is home from the East Btroudsburg State Normal Sohool. Look out for further notice next week of a social at the Methodist Churcu on the evening of Decoration Day, May 30th. John H.

From present indications the Japanese have thrown two divisions or about 80,000 efficient men in the rear of General Kuropatkius army. He is retreating toward Harbin and if there is a force of the enemy both in his front and rear it would seem that a decisive battle must soon be foughtl Binghamton and Return $1 May 29 Sunday, May 2i)th, the Erie will run a special excursion from Port Jervis to Binghamton and Ross Park at the low rate of one dollar for the round trip.

Ci!Ai;I.5 Ull S'it, P, 11, THE OLD GRAND ARMT BOYS You may talk about the Masons And the Odd Fellows and such; You may call them so fraternal An t fairly lieat the Dutch; You may praise them if you choose to, With their mystic riles and noise, , lint they cannot hold a candle To the old Grand Amy boys. For a man that has the money ('An learn all about their craft; He oan get degree; and pasn-words That would make a funeral laugh, And be loaded down with symbols But for true fraternal joys They caunst hold a candle To the old Grand Army boyB. They may talk about their badges, lint the one that has the call Is the Btar and Flag and Eagle, Which is far above them all. . It was won where cannon thundered, 'Mid the battle's smoke and noise; So there's nothing holds a candle To the old Grand Army boys. Why, they fought and Wed together, And they shared the prison pen; They faced the foe in battle With the elbow-touch of men. Then the compact was cemented 'Mid the battle's smoke and noise; 8o there's nothing holds a candle To the old Grand Army boys. They fraternal? Well, I reckon; And their charity's all right Are they loyal? They have proved It, For they left their homes to fight And this Nation owes them homage For the peace it now enjoys; So there's nothing hoidB a candle To the old Grand Army boys. C'apt. John F. McGuire. Barring Anarchists The United States Supreme Court has rendered a decision which sus tains the immigration authorities In deporting one Turner, an English Anarchist, who cams from England to lecture in company with Emma Goldman and John Most, pronounced socialists. This may bar out that olass of undesirable agitators who come to here foment discord. The Act of Congress provides that no per son who disbelieves in or is opposed to all organized forms of government, or is a member of or affiliated with any organization teaching such belief or who advocates the duty, necessity or propriety of killing officers of any organized government because of thoir official oharaoter, shall be permitted to enter the Unites States. Just What a Blush I If any young lady wishes to know just what a blush is she can study the definition given in Southern Medicine which is perhaps correct. If any one can give a better beyond saying, getting red in the face we would like to have it. This is what one is : "A blush is a temporary erythema and caloriflo effulgence of the physiognomy, aetiologized by one perceptivenes8 of the sensorium when in a predicament of nnequt librity from a sense of shame, anger or other cause, eventuating in a paresis of the vasomotor filaments of the facial capillaries, whereby, being divested of their elasticity, they are suffused with a radience effemenating from an intimidated precordia," Passing of the Locomotive The great obstacles to the substi tution of elootrioity for steam as a motive power upon railroads, accord ing to President Mellon, are the character of the oonstruotion of the roads themselves, the frequency of crossings and the danger attending the conducting of the power by third rail. And in spite of them all, he expects within a few years to see the steam locomotive become in the nature of a, curiosity. It has served a useful purpose, but it will have no mourners when it is dis placed. Subscribe for the Prkhs. Soft and crooked bones mean bad feeding. Call the disease rickets if you want to.

Scott's Emulsion is the right treatment for soft bones in children. Littledoses everyday give the stiffness and shape that healthy bones should have. liow logs become straighter, loose joints grow stronger and firmness comes to the soft heads. Wrong food caused the trouble. Right food will cure it. In thousands of cases Scott's EmulMon has proven to be the ri;;ht fuod for soft bones in childiioud. Sund fur fiee sainjile.

Cj L m La Competition of Boef Trust The boef trust Is to have competi tion from an unexpected quarter,1 according to a spncial telegram from New York City. It is said that American citizens have joined in an enterprise with cattle and meat men of Argentine and that contracts have been made for a large rcfrige rator plant and wharves in Argen tina, with a view to shipping large quantities of bcof and mutton' to this country by way of a line of refrigerator steamships to ply between Buonos Ayros and Now York. The dispatch says that the beef and mutton will be offered here at prices considerably below those maintained by the beef trust. In European markets beef and mutton from the Argentine llopnblic have been in keen competition With American meats for Bevcral years. Shipped from the South American republic in refrigerator steamers to London, Liverpool and other ports, beef has sold in large quantities from 6 to 8 cents wholesale. The. beef trnst has met these prices abroad, but invariably has attained higher rates here. But while this plan will hit the boef trust it inci dentally will affoot an interest quite opposed to boef truBt methods the great live stock industry of the country. Corsets On Monkeys A prominent physioinn in Chicago has been testing the sanitary effeots of corsets by applying the tests of tight lacing on monkeys. Minature "monkey corsets" were constructed and applied to scree ted specimens of our female progenitors. The V-shaped corsets of our fash ionable women when tightly laoed were found to be fatal to the young monkeys and some of them died under the pressure in a few days. But in general the monkey lost flesh moped and were attacked by gastrio and other internal disorders. The hardiest of them died within a few mouths and the doctor reports that in every case the stays were the cause of it. However, our Simian relatives might not thrive if they had to wear high-heeled boots, goloshes, altitudi- iious collars, plug hats and ulsters ; consequently the monkey argument is not conclusive against the oorset. Indeed it would be a sad experiment in evolution if a human being, after surviving the efforts of prehiBtorio ancestry, oould not defy so small a thing as a corset. Boston Globe. Exploded Delusions How science does destroy our pet whims. Our ancestors long held the delusion that the ringing of the church bells had the effect to break np a thunder storm. It was suu- posed that the vibration of the air caused the dissipation of the electric lluid in the air. Hence on the approach of thunder storms somebody used to brave the elements, rush out and ring the vil lage bell, thus affording the neces sary peace of mind to the frightened sojourners. All is changed now. In fact, the oontrary opinion is held. The vibra tion caused by the sound of a bell on an overhanging oloud may cause it to discharge its contents upon the ring er of the boll in the church tower. Women Farmers . Nearly all agricultural depart menta of Western Universities, and a number of Eastern institutions, now admit women on equal terms with men. Special branohos of farming, suoh as market gardening, small fruit growing and dairying, have been profitably taken up by women all over the country. Ex periments in growing varieties of nut trees is the latest field in this line to which women have turned their attention.
