In order to dotormine if there If a sentiment here to form a village improvement soelety all interestol are invited to moot at the home of Mrs. J. II. Van Etton on Fourth street, Tuesday afternoon, June 14, at 4 p. m. There are volunteer offers of liberal nubsoriptions if an organization is effected so that the funds will be judiciously and syste matically expended.- Without underrating the merits and ability of a number of gentle men in this state, it would seem that Hon. Jo'in P. Eltin would make an ideal senator. lie is an excellent lawyor, a good speaker, a man of broad mind with liberal views and fearless in expressing his opinions. Bis presence in the Senate wonld give Pennsylvania a suitable rank among her sister states and give ber a voice which would have weight in shaping the affairs of the nation. The question of United Statee Senator to fill the vacanoy occasion ed by the death of Hon. M. S. Quay is now engaging it coterie of poll tioians from Pittoburg and Philadel phia. Plots and counterplots appear to be the order. The latest namo conjured with is that of Attorney General Knox. Hon. John P. Elkin, William Flinn, Henry W. Oliver and others in turn have been men tioned. Governor Pennypacker has not signified his intontion and it is not known whether he will aotof his own volition or take orders. The wealth and importance of this state demands that she should be repre sented by some one of commanding abilty and with statesmanlike qualities. Acquired Idleness According to Mrs. Theodore W. Birney, who gives so many valuable suggestions every month in The Delineator to those who have the care of children, habits of idleness are aoquired, and not due to that convenient bugbear, "natural de pravity." These are some of the wise thoughts in her paper for July : "It is as natural for children to be busy as it is for them to breathe. We are all familiar with the cease less activity of the wee toddlors, who are here, there and every where. . : . It is true that chil dren who are habitually uooooupiod want to be eating continually ; it is also true that by presenting artistic pleasures and pursuits to young poople, the gross and objectionable ceasos to attract them. , , Every member of a family should daily be responsible for some effort which should conduce to the com fort, convenience or pleasure of the household. . . . Young children should be allowed to spend by far the greater part of their time in play ; but while the greatest possible liberty should be permitted children in thoir recreations, we should bear in mind that, ad one author has ex pressed it, 'Lawlessness and cngov eruod caprice during piay hours are the foundation of misumj of civic freodom.'

Meyer of Montague ) Tho Willing Workers society hold a very lnt-orostlnit meotinir at the borne of Miss Margiiret Westbrook lift Friday evening. The Ladies Aid society will give a strawberry and fee cream festival in the church parlors on the even ing of Tuesday, Juno 14th, If stormy the next fair evening. A cordial invittion is given our Milford friends to renew old acquaintance that night. The Dorom society met Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Dr. Cole and completed arrangement for their usual June festival to be held Thursday, June 16th, but if stormy thenext fair evening." (Straw berries and ice cream will be served and the customary good time is in store for all who attend. The pastor will preaoh In the lower Clove school house next Bun day afternoon at 2.15 and will con tinue to preach thore every second Sabbath afternoon thereafter. The many frionds of Mrs Esther M. Lane sympathize very deeply with her because of the imperative operation which necessitated the re moval of an eye. From last reports we find that the operation was successful and that Mrs. Lano is recovering very rapidly. George Armstrong, who has been in the Port Jervis hospital for near ly six weeks suffering from appendi citis, is now convalescing at the home of Mr. Ayrea in Port Jervis and Mrs. A. J. Brink who has been suffering from the same malady is now on the fair way to reoovery. Democratic contemporaries have a way of cheerfully making the best of facts and suiting their arguments to whatever oorditious are thrust upon them. In other words they assume to get in their blows on every question going and coming. This plan might be very successful if it were effective. Unfortunately for the party, the people of the country prefer fixed tactics and policies. Take the oase of the Roosevelt- MoClellan incident. In the President's speech at Antietam he made no mention of General McClollan and we were told that this ommission would make Mayor McClollan a powerful faotor in the presidential eqation and that the old soldiers would rally by the thous ands to the son as a rebuke to the President. Later, in his speech at Gettysburg, on Memorial Day, the President paid a most generous trib ute to General McClollan and coupl ed his name with those of the great heroes of the Civil War. Now we are told that the President was frightened into this oourse and that bis remarks about the Union Com mander will bring to the McClollan Jr. standard great numbers of the boys of '61-5 If the McClollan boom rests upon nothing more sub stantial than this sort of talk, it will hardly eleotrify the oountry. Signal Cruelty William Waldorf Astor spoke recently before the London Club men's Benevolent Sooiety, an organ ization in which he takes a deop interest. Mr. Astor's subject was kindness, and at one point he said : "Kindness Is a virtue that stands out brightest by contrast with some signal pieoe of cruelty. I'll tell yon of a piece of cruelty that was prao tioed, my gardener informs me, on a certain coatermonger. "This costermonger lay dying. As he neared his end his wife said to him: '" 'Don't yon think you oould eat a bit of something, John?' " 'I might,' the man answered. " 'Good,' said she. 'Now, what can I get for you?' " 'Well,' said the costermonger, 'I seem to smell ham a-cookin' some where. I think I could eut a bit of that.' " 'Oh, no, John, dear,' said his wife. 'You can't have that. That's for the funeral.' " Excursion to St. Louis, World's Fair Commencing Thursday, June 2nd, and each suoceediug Thursday during the month of June the Erie will sell Special Coach Excursion tickets from Port Jervis to St. Louis good going on train No. 1 leaving Port Jervis at 11.34 a.m. and arriv ing Bt.

A. was a grand success. Much credit is due to Supt. Mad den for securing good musia and especially in drilling the boys in the drill and song "I want to be a sol dier", also in training the boys in acrobatic work which was fine for young boys. A Competing Express Company The Adams Express company, which runs over the O. & W., has opened an office opposite the Erie depot in Port Jervis and will com pete for business. It is ttiought that as soon as the new short cut on the O. & W. is completed, so that trains can be ran over that road direot to Monticello, there will be a oomplete divoroe from the Erie. The business over the Monticello branch is estimated at 125.000 a month and this the Erie will lose, bosides having competition' in express business to New York and points east. All this should be an object lesson for Erie and impel her to build a spur to Milford and thus secure for all time the business of the upper end of this valley. How great is true greatness ! Ao cording to a recent dispatch Charles W. Bryan of Lincoln, Nebraska, a brother of William Jennings, denies all stories of dissension in the Neb raska democracy. That body is a unit. We had never heard of Charles W. Bryan. We do not plead to special ignorance in this maiter, we think there are others. But we sub mit that it is the radiant and soin tillating effulgence which has per. slstontly emanated from the cranium of William J., that has oast Charles W. into the gray and gloomy depthi of unheralded medioority. Not long since, it was stated that Port Arthur was impregnable and tho Russians sympathized with the fanatioal Japs bent upon only tboir own destruction j next it was learned that Russia proposed to leave the fortress to its fate and Japanese oopture j now we hoar that Russia deotns Port Arthur not only pregna ble but important and that she will endanger her whole campaign by going to its relief. In the mean while, Japan seems to continue sawing wood.
