VoN MOLTKE AS SOLDIER re-
markable German chieftain is the greatest
living soldier. He has a constitution of iron,
nerves of steel, and a will like the grip of
death. Silent, reticent, unasSuming, active
ubiquitous, he controls his force almost
directly as he moves the muscles of his own
body. His army, to a man, almost worship
him. rheumatism is his only physicaltrouble,
and he refers to it as an annoyance" By
using Sandaine this difficulty was overcome.
Many business men resemble him in his
mental and physical qualities, and in his in
trinity. Pains in the limbs, back, head and
side, stiff joints, nervousness and unTefreShlng
sleep are sure signs of coming attiictiOn.
Rheumatism, liver and kidney complaints,
biliouSneSS, chills and blood disorders should
be cured before they become chron c. San

SAD ACCIDENT.-MT. William II. Plum
mer, police officer and night watchman at,
theP r. r. depot in Tyrone, was struck by the
engine of the Mail train west last Tuesday
morning and instantly Killed The Altoona
Tribune, from which journal we cOndense
the particulars of this sad affair, says that
the duties of Mr. Plummer of late had been
extended to watch over the loaded cars stand
ing on the warehouse siding. 1t appears to
have been his habit to make general survey
OF these cars three or four times during the
night, and when he met his death he was on
his last round in more senses than one. a
freight train on the south track going east at
the time, it is supposed, deadened the sound
of the approaching fast mail west Being on
very deep curve and hemmed in with cars
on both sides of him, if he heard or saw the
train he had not time to get out of the way,
Mr.. Plummer was born in Summerhill town
ship, Cambria county, in the month of OctO-
Der, 1914. At the age of Is years he left his
home and went to John DeArmit in Gays
port, to learn the blacksmith's trade. This
did not appear to suit him and shortly after
ward he went with William Burey to Cove
Forge as a helper in the forge He worked
there a short time and then went to the old
forge above Spruce Creek. At the age of Is
he went to Tyrone, where he has since resi-
daughter, all living with the exception of
three sons. His wife preceded him to the
grave only few months. We SympathZe

OwBN CUNNINGHAM's MANY TROUBLES
About three months ago Owen Cunning
ham, formerly of this place, but latterly re-
siding in Carrolltown, was arrested by Con-
stable WHEREBY on two warrants issued by
Alderman Spurrier, of Lancaster, in which
he was charged with having obtained two
notes, one from Frederick BletZ, of Colum-
bia, and the other from VIM. I. I Quart, of
Graefs Landing by making false representa-
tiOns to them. The amount involved in the
first stated case was S7S, and in the other
SI5. Cunningham was taken to Lancaster,
and in default of entering bail for his APP
pearance at Court was committed to prison,
where he remained until last Friday, when
both cases were taken up and tried The
main witness for the Commonwealth was
James Hawks, 4 lumber dealer who resides
in or near Chest Springs, in this county
After all the evidence was in, and it being
shown that there was a reasonable doubt of
the defendants guilt, that he had already
been in Jail for long time, and also that he
was in i'll health, the court allowed verdict
of not guilty to be taken, and the county to
pay the COSTS as the prosecutions had been
brought in good faith. Mr.. Cunnngh9mS
troubles, however, did not end here, for as
he was about leaving the Court House he
was arrested by a Harrisburg officer, on a
warrant charging him with having obtained
board in that city from G. Swilkey by false
Representations. He was taken to Harris
burg, and being unable to procure bail for
his appearance at Court, was lodged in prison.

ing in the coal comes to practical use in pro-
ducing light. The power available at the
end Of the process is, therefore, bat a small
portion OF that which is employed at the be-
ginning. When gas Is produced from coal
it Is produced directly, not indirectly, and
with little loss. while the coke lett behind Is
producer. of heat. The electric light Is
produced by complicated process, gas by a
comparatively simple one. The gas people,
put on their mettle by the rivalry that has
threatened them, are showing that by ex-
pending from two TO three times as much
money as now, gas can do all that Is claimed
tor the Illuminating power Of the electric
light, and al a very much less cost. In street
lighting it is shown that lights Of sixteen
candle power, placed twenty yards apart, are
equal 10 lights of twenty FIVE candles placed
twenty-five feet apart. The dark shadows
at the foot of the street lamps can be
djssipated by having rejecting glass at the
top Of the lamp, instead Of clear. The gas
companies are trying experiments on the
Waterloo bridge road, and In W..crloo
Place, Regent street, London. They make
the lsmp-posts lower by two feet, and use
ootagonal and other shaped lamps, and large
Argand burners. The result has been strik-
ing; a newspaper can be read in any part Of
toe street as now lighted up. If the public
are willing to pay for good light, the gas
companies undertake to furnish as much
working light as is obtained by electricity,
and at a considerable less cost, and also with
out chickering's or extinction. IN short, race
between electricity and gss vii scoH v;7;dly
occupy the public attention.

ECLIPSE OF THE ELECTRIC
HIGHT

Since the result OF using the electric light
in Paris became known, the confidence that
was beginning to be placed in it has become
feeble. Other experiments in various places
appear to demonstrate that excellent lighting
can be done by electricity, but not econom-
ically-not SO as to pay. Tests and trials
have been against it as compared with gas,
and Mr.. Edison gives no sign that he has
aught to urge why gas should not be entitled
to the victory. Brush in Cleveland, OHIO,
has lighted up two rooms ia the thread
mills of tine WIlhmantic linen company at
Willimautc, Connecticut. When sufficient
time has elapsed we shall learn how those
lights compare, as regards expense, with an
equal amount OF light from gas. The cleo
tric light was tired for sometime in the Bill
Ingsgate fshmarket, London, but complaint
was made before the council that it was detri-
mental and injurious to the business OF the
occupants, aud that on January twenty-eighth
and twenty-ninth it went out, leaving the mar
ket IN total darkness. SO that naptha lamps had
to be introduced. At the new State capitol,
in Albany, New York, It was desired to use
the electric light. Inventors strove to ac-
compish this work, but electricity has not
lighted up one session Of the assembly there
The corridor of the Equitable building in
New York city Is lgnted with it, but not
with q success that has induced other edi-
fees to follow the example. All this is dis
appointing, tor it would be a grand thing to
be able to use the eiectrict light economi-
cally, but the fact tsat not a square in New
York is lighted by what, six months ago.
was commonly regarded as the coming great
ILLUMINATION, Is proof that anticipation went
beyond the facts. The system of lighting
by aid Of platinum wire, which is the one on
which Mr.. Edison has been engaged was
fully experimental upon by Mr. Starr in
England long ago. His patent was taken
out IN 1915. Great expectations were formed,
but the same difficulties opposed that battle
the inventor today, and disappointment was
the result. DR.. W. Wallace, who was asso-
clated with Mr.. Starr IN his enterprise, has
lately written on the subject in the Journal
Of the Society Of Arts, and he says: "AI l
had seen then and have heard of since has
convinced me that-alth0ugh as a scientific
achievement the electric light is a splendid
success-its practical application to all pur-
poses where cost is matter of serious con-
sideration Ia a complete and hopeless failure,
aud must OF necessity continue So" This last
expression IS a strong one, and Mr.. Williams
explains 1t by showing that, whether we use
electricity or gas, we begin uy consuming coal.
Ia heating the boilec that sets the electric
machine to work, half the working power of
the coal Is lost. In converting the heat force
of the evaporatad water into work, there i
another large loss. In converting this work
inR force into electrical force, there Is still
further loss, as tie arnature does not gather
all the electric energy engendered. In tie
end probably only one. tenth Of the pOuoer W

Effect of the Approaching Elections en-
HE san EccRnciscn Stnck Market.

SAN Francesca, March 24.-The usual d.
versity of theories exists as to the cause of the
present break IN stocks, but the weight of
opinion attributes it to the uncertain state of
feeling prevalent in banking and other bust
ness circles, occasIoned by the approaching
election IN the question to adopt the new con-
stitution. The proposed document rleets
with no favor in financial cirnlos, ~EId thskkyen-
eral opinion seems TO be that Its adoption viii

theory, accepted by many, attributes the PAN
ic to combination, the object Of which is to
affect public opinion on the election. The
workingme1 have adopted the new constitu-
ton az a party measure, and are urging it
strong. and It probably meets with cosidera-
BILE favor in some portions of the State among
farmers, but business classes are arrayiDg
themselves ag Iinst it with even greater vigor.

AMomnn,s noubIe LIE.

A farm laborer of Ridgewood, New Jersey,
married in New York in 1862 young girl
who had recently arrived from Germany.
She was only sixteen, pretty and well taught.
She became the mother of three children, and
was q model wife except for her extreme
penuricusness. She frequently allowed the
children to do without necessaries to save q
few cents from her husbands scanty earnings.
She kept an account IL savings bank in
New York city A few days ago, after an
expensive illness, she died, and her husband
went to New York to draw the balance of
ten dollars, all that was left, out of the bank.
The cashier told him that his wife had two
accounts, one of ten dollars in her own name
and one CT fifteen hundred dollars in the
name of her sister, in trust fer person said
to be residing in Germany, and unknown to
the husband. He found his wiie's sister, who
confessed that his wife had child in Ger
many, now a lad of seventeen, and that ste
had deposited this money of mis- in bank for
the benefit of this child. The fifteen hum
dred dollars has been accumulating for six

TIE sABB ArH AND CIVIL Law.

EDITORS APPEAL-The position taken by
Rev. Mr. Womack, and Endorsed by you in the AP-
PEAL OF Tuesday morning. is entirely correct 1t is
purely religious institution and civil courts have
right to enforce the observance of religious du-
sacred, and its code of morals underles our whole
system of law and civil jurisprudence; and while
bound to protect the religious sentiment of the peo
pie Our civil law recosnizes the christian Sabbath,
religious enjoyment for which the rest and quiet OF
the Sabbath was ordained by the Almighty.
Here is man WI" Who '''t don't " re gard
the Sabbath and concludes to spend the day in fish
right to int fere with him. But the man who takes
the din and noise of game of baseball, does dis
turb the devotlons and infringe upon the sacred

emn oath when they fail TO report and .have prose-
cuted all such yiOlatOrs of sacred right This point
ought 10 have been made In that sermon of Mr..
Womack. GUILFORD JONES.
Mr.. Jones, with all due respect for him, is
wrong. The State is not bound to protect
the religious sentiment of the people. 1t is
bound, though, IN its enforcement of the
general peace. to see that the religious OBJ
servances of the people are not disturbed or
interfered with. He also surrenders the
whole question when he comedies that man
may go fishing. Men and boys, if they play
ball mile or more from church, cannot be
said 10 interfere with religious contempla-
ton, meditation or worship, or disturb the
public peace. any more than the ''lone fisher
man." As to hunting, that IN this section is
an old Sunday pastime. We apprehend that
if the reverend gentleman will take the
trouble to investigate ne will find hunt
ers il all the adjacent forests-white
well as colored-who, with their
guns and dogs, enjoy themselves
IN the woods every Sunday, and neither their
shots nor the dogs disturb the religious
worshipers IN city or town. For ourselves we
prefer the quiet and repose of a peaceful
Sabbath, and think that all who enjoy it so
feel benefited by it. Hunting we regard as
very hard and very tiresome labor at any
time, but others find both recreation and
sport in it. Fishing we think both tedious
and dull, but others delight in it, finding in
it rest for both mind and body. AS to base
ball, we should just as leave think of shovel
ing sand all day as playing at it, yet others
lind it a source OF muscular development and
amusement. Thoroughly democratic, while
we are anxious to enjoy Ourselves in our own
way we are willing to concede the like lib

THE fact that the greenback element in the
house evinces a strong disposition to connect
with the Republicans is regarded, says the
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, with much satisfaction by the shrewd
Democratic leaders. The majority, If not all
of the Greenback members, owe their election
to Democratic votes, and it is argued that
when the Democratic masses see that they
have been the means of electIng Republicans
in disguise, they will not be so likely here
after to desert their own party standard.
