Miss Hattie Duell, who must now
be known as a greater American faster
than even Dir. Tanner, died last week,
having lived without food as reported
for forty-sevep days. Inasmuch as
she deliberately set out to commit sui
eide by abstinence, day more or less
made no difference to her, and she was
not deferred from exhibiting the ex-
treme limit of woman's endurance in
this direction by any apprehension that
she might reach a point from which
recovery would be impossible. 1t is,
however, of no great scientific impor-
tance to have it demonstrated how long
this particular woman could live with
out food, since her case, perhaps, does
not establish any general principle.

1t is said that some eastern rail-
road men want another through line Of
railroad between New York and Chica-
go, and have leased and bought roads
running through New Jersey, this
State, Ohio and Indiana, with the in
tention of connecting them. One re-
port has it that two of the roads bought
or leased are the low-grade division of
A. V. r. Il. which strikes the Allegh-
eny river at Mahoning, and the She
mango and Allegheny road, which now
terminates a. Hilliard's Mills, and
that it is their intention to build road
between the two points At present
there are four east ard west ''trunk'
lines between Chicago and New York,
viz: the N. Y. Central, Erie, Pennsyl-
vania Ceatral, and Baltimore and Ohio,
and why they should want anoth-
er ls more than we can tell, unless 1t be
that they want a through freight line
for grain and stock between the two
points, that will not pass through any
lsrge upy.

The only practical issue of the
heated contest between the Legislature

thorizing the Court of Common Pleas

wiser to confer the right upon the
Judges of Dauphin, who are paid to
attend to the States legal business
with its officers, but the principle ol the
bill is right, and it is to be hoped that
with its passage the unseemly strife be-
tween two branches of the State Gov

measures which now occupy so much

make bad impression upon the public

There is an old road song that
reads something like this
"1he roads are impossible

"The roads impossible,
Not even jackassible,
And those who would travel 'em,
Must turn out and gravel 'em."
and it seems to US that the condition
of our principal streets are very well
described in it; they are "jackassible, !"
nothing more, and so is the policy that
dictates digging the disease producing
filth out of our cutters every spring
ard throwing it upon the streets. only
to be washed back again by the first
heavy rains, where it impedes drainage,
causes the streets and crossings to be
overhown, and no doubt pollutes the
atmosphere. We are not in favor of
this expensive mac-adamizing of our
streets at present. but we think
that if this filth that accumulates
in the cutters every winter were carted
away and the low places in the streets
filled with gravel, they would soon be
in better condition and our town be
freer from contagious diseases.

The beneficial influence of ozone
upon mentality was the subject of
recent medical lecture in New York,
and Moses, John Adams, Webster,

ant were named as specimens of what

Tracing the gentlemen named back TO
their birthplaces it is found that all of
them but Moses took their ozone in
New England, which section already
has more brain than it knows what TO
do with, and would, therefore. object
to the free inlportations of feeble head
ed statesmen and authors to be charged
with the vivifying force that has made
the Yankee Il marvel and a terror to
the rest of the world Egypt, the
birthplace of the remaining great man
named, is too far away, although quite
near enough as a site for a brain sup

instead of sending homemade intel

import ozone generators from the coun-
tries named there might be desirable
