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.' "

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

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.' "

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.
