pear It will be 8e3n that a wide
field is covered and by papers which
reaota many homes. 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

was in town yesterday.

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

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. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
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.

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.
