In THE year 1910 the capital invested
in manufactures in the United States
amounted to $267, ,726, $40, and the total
production was valued at $444,473, 800.
In 1877 the single city of Philadelphia
exceeds both these aggregates. In this
fact we have evidence sufficient to show
the stupendous growth of this metropo-
lis of labor In 1880 the persons directly
engaged in manufactures in the United
States scarcely reached 10000, andin 1870
Philadelphia alone had $4,000 thus en-
ployed. PbiJddelehjd North american.

railroad, at Mahonlngtown, Pa. Last
week the latter began grading for side
track to be placed four or five feet below
the grade of the main track, with the
intention Of preventing the new road
from crossing their line. The Lake Erie
road, however, put large force Of men
to work and succeeded In making the
crossing. Last night large force Of
workmen employed by the Lawrence
and New Castle road marched to the
crossing and tore up the newly laid
track of the Lake Erie road. The latter
road with u still larger number of work
men relaid the track, and lt was again
torn up this evening.
Since then the matter has been settled.

pressed the shelvlngs against the wheel

Died, Ang 29lh, at Harpcrs Ferry,
Mrs. VERLlNDA STIPES, aged So
years.
The deceased was one Of the oldest
residents Of lIarper's Ferry. For many
years she lived a retired and quiet life,
respected by all. Until few months
past she enjoyed good health, and re-
tanned in remarkable degree her men
tai faculties 10 the last moment To
her daughter, who was her constan ut
companion, she talked about death as
though it was all her business to pre-
pare for it, and gave minute directions
about all her affairs, especially about
her burial. Without struggle she
passed away from the night Of earth
into the light Of eternal day.

ALL WRONG.

The emigration of carpenters and o'h-
or classes of mechanics from this coun-
,ry to England is going on in a small
way. This is all wrong. We do not
wish TO see our skilled workmen leave
ne. neither do we wish TO see similar
class of people come to us from abroad.
In this respect We are amply provided
for by our own people. Of late years
the number of immigrants coming to
our shores has been much larger than
the needs of the country required, and
to this fact in part may be attributed
the present unhappy condition Of our
working people. The labor market has
been over stocked by immigrants from
Germany, England, Ireland and other
foreign countries. Capital invites I'M
migration in order to increase produc
ton and to lower wages, but our late
and present experiences would seem to
show pretty conclusively that the time
has arrived when We should scrutinize
closely the classes of people coming to
rs. and whether it would not be better
10 shut the door TO all at least for the
time being. The dissatisfaction in Cal
iforuia in regard 10 her Chinese popula-
ton is but an expression of the fears OF
the people of the whole country that
immigration has been overdone, and
that self preservation in that regard as
well as all others is the first law OF ma
ture. At all events it is desirable that
our own PEOPLE should remain at home
and patiently bide their time.

S OLD MASONIC APRoN.-I may
not be generally known, but it is never
,beless a fact that Mt. Nebo Lodge, No.
81. Free Masons, of this town, have in
their possession an Apron which has
been often worn by Gen. Washington.
1t was presented to the Lodge by Ibom-
"a Hammond, who married Miss
Washington, and was initiated into this
Lodge in 1915, it then being the only
Lodge in this part of the State except
one at Winchester; and the family his
tory of the apron is, 'that it was pre-
sented by the Grand Lodge OF France,
through Gen. La Fayette, to General
Washington" and remained as an heir
loom in the family, until presented to
this Lodge, which still carefully pre-
serves it. 1t is of white satin, trlnged
with black silk, with the following ma
sonic emblems beautifully wrough; in
gold and silver tissue: at the top the
cable towe in festoons, then the gavel,
the square ard compasses, and over
these, also forming compasses with Their
stats, the French and American flags.
Where the flag -staffs intersect are the
skull, bone and pilgrims sword, and en-
twined among these is sprig OF cassla'
This apron has been worn on many
public occasions. 1t was worn by the
Grand Masters officiating at the laying
of the cornerstone of the Washington
Monument, Smithsonian Institute, the
monument in the capital square in Rich
mond, and at the Masonic Convocatlon
at Mt. Vernon.

in the sum of $4,000 has been brought
against the Baltimore and Ohio railroad

ngn MONEY LosT.-Mrs. Fry, of Bal
timore, who has been spending the sum-
mer with the family of DR.. X. 7. Ma
gruder, deceased, Of this town, went to
the Jefferson Savings Bank Of this
place, on Monday morning last, from
which she obtained $50. On leaving
the Bank to return she placed the mon
ey in book and in her pocket. Upon
her arrival at the residence Of Mrs. Ma
gruder, she discovered, upon search for
her pocket-book, that it was gone, and
that there was hole in her pocket,
through which, no doubt the book had
been lost. Notice and search was i'm
mediately made, offering a liberal re
ward for its recovery, but nothing has
been heard of the money. Now, it is
evident that somebody has found the
money, from the fact that it was lost in
broad day light, about ten o'clock, upon
the pavement upon which she returned
to her residence. The individual who
found the money, is of course, dishon-
est,-there can be no doubt to this fact,
and this individual will steal whenever
the opportunity offers. An honest per-
son, knowing that the money did not
belong to him, would have given it up
at once, or would at least have made
known the fact that the money had
been found, and would then of course
have made an effort to find the owner.
