They are Hurt.

Liquor dealers are hurt. They
are hurt badly. The Committee on
the Liquor Traffic appointed by the
House of Representatives don't
please them. No wonder.
The Republican members of the
committee are John T. Wait, of
Connecticut; Chas. H. Joyce, of
Vermont; Jonathan Chace, of
Rhode Island; w. P. Hepburn, of
Iowa, and Nelson Dingley, of Maine.
These are all from Prohibitory
States, or States very nearly Pro
hibitorv.
The Democratic members of the
committee are Thos. Williams, of
Alabama, John D. C. Adkins, of
Tennessee, L. III. Davis, of Missouri
and Robt B. Vance, of North Caro-
lima. These are from States that
are agitating prohibition, and the
two members last named voted to
order the committee. Progress, this.
Move on.-Aduance.

At recent temperance conven-
tion in the City of Bloomington,
ILL.,, for nominating a city ticket,
the following resolutions were
adopted, which have no uncertain
sound in them:
WHEREAS, The Liquor Dealers
Association of the State of Illinois,
and of other States, have entered
into a compact to votefor no candi-
dates, whether Democrat or Repub-
lican, for any office, either munich
pal or State, unless said candidates
are in favor of the liquor traffic,
and are in accord with the interests
of saloon and liquor men, and are in
favor of licensing, protecting and
perpctuating this curse of human
society; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That it is the duty of all
temperance people to meet the is
sue fairly at the ballot-box, and
vote for no one, for any Office, either
municipal or State, unless said can
didate is in favor of the complete
overthrow of this gigantic evil, that
is adverse to the very object for
which government has been insti-
tuted among men, viz: the protec-
ton of the lives, the property, the
rights and the happiness of the
people.

Poor New YOrk-There'S Where
the License System Prevails
to Perfection.

The following is from the Cover
nor's recent message:
1.-The manifest inadequacy of the
laws for the regulation of the liquor
traffic must be cause of regret to
all good citizens. Licenses are
granted to hundreds and thousands
of parties pretending to be hotel
keepers whose sole occupation in
the way Of public entertainment
consists in selling liquor; while in
a still greater number of instances
liquor is sold openly and boldly
without license. Such common
and contemptuous defiance of law is
a standing reproach to the dignity
and peace of the State, and ought,
by every consideration of decency
and morality, to be rebuked and re-
pressed"
The Pittsburg Advance comments
on the above as follows:
"What a story to tell! Excise
laws failure License liquor
laws a failure! The liquor organs
won't tell this They reserve their
cry of failure for Prohibition laws.
The simple fact is that saloonists
are an utterly lawless class"

Temperance in the West.

We clip the following from the
New York Observer:
The Iowa State Register says that
the temperance cause in that State,
after having failed under the lead
ership first of "fussy old men ,and
jejune young men," and then of a
''lot of of people who had failed in
every other profession and vocation
and attached themselves to the
temperance cause for the purpose of
making living out of it," is now
prospecting in the hands of women,
and "to-day it has with it power
of public opinion and public SYM
pathy, which has but to summon
all its energies to make it overmas-
tering and irresistible" Let the
good work go on by whomsoever
pushed or led The great thing is
to save the country from the blight
of drunkenness.
INDIANA NoTEs-A correspondent
in Kendallville, Ind, writes: II
may mention, as an item of inter
est, that revival of religion has
been in progress for some weeks
past at Elkhart, forty miles west of
this place | learn to-day that
there has been 400 or 500 hopeful
conversions. This is good news,
indeed, in these days OF blasphemy
and rebuke. Another indication
for good is the vastly increased in
terest in the cause of temperance.
The sober people of the State are
saying, We have been abused and
cursed long enough by the atrocious
liquor traffic. And for the purpose
of securing such legislation as shall
afford them some relief in the way
of prohibitory law they are hold
ing meetings in churches.and school
houses, and many other places,
and circulating papers for sigma
lures, in which every voter declares
he will vote for no man, whatever
his party may be, who will not
openly pledge himself to do all in
his power to secure prohibitory
law. Men of all parties are eagerly
and numerously signing such pa
pers."

ADVERTISING PIsToLs-Several of
our religious exchanges, some North
and some South, carry their pistols
openly, and not concealed, as that
is violation Of law. But is it the
right thing for religious papers to
carry pistols, even when paid to do
so? We were offered money to carry
one---a very pretty one, too--but
respectfully declined, fearing some
one might get hurt. The weapons
of our warfare are not carnal, and
the pistol should not have a place
in our outfit.-CentraI Methodist.

A New Use for the Bristles of Hogs.

One of the latest appliances used in
adding to the vigor and purity of to-
bacco raised in this part of the State,
says a Harrisburg paper, are hogs
bristles. 1t has been demonstrated
that when a quantity of hogs bristles
are placed around the roots of each to
bacco plant, it serves as fertilizer of
the soil, tending to keep it in a spongy
condition whereby all the heat is at
once absorbed by the root, and the
chemical processes necessary to the
vigorous growth of the weed are very
much increased. There are number
of parties in Harrisburg who gather
hogs bristles and hair from all the
slaughter houses of the city, which
finds u ready market at very lucra-
tive price per barrel. The demand il
always ahead of the supply, so thai
importations are now made from the
great slaughter houses of the West.

A Bird Execution.

HOW A NUMBER OF SPARRowS TREAT
ED A FELoN OF THEIR OWN SPECIES.
The following is given upon the au-
thority of the Blossburg Register: A
number of gentlemen last Wednesday
noon were the witness of q very curl
GUS proceeding. On the sign in front
of the Keystone clothing house were
gathered large number of our COM
mon street sparrows. BY the busy ac-
tions of the birds it was evident that
something unusual was about to trans
pire. On the cornices of the building
could be seen different groups, all APP
parently engaged in the discussion OF
some subject of grave importance.
Every now and then one would fly off,
generally returning with some friends
to increase the number of those al
ready assembled. The spectators
watched the progress of the affair with
lively curiosity, as the actions of the
birds were remarkable in the extreme.
At last matters seemed TO be brought
toa climax the different groups sepa,
rated and gathered in a crowd around
the sign, and now comes the strange
part of the Incident. Upon small
iron rod connecting the sign with the
side of the building were ranged q
dozen solemn looking sparrows; pres
emily two more appeared, and one
leading the other by the neck. He
was lead to the centre of the rod ant
pushed off. TO the surprise of thu
audience he made 10 attempt to fly
away, but remained suspended in the
air. A close scrutiny revealed the fac
that one end of a long horsehair wa
fastened around his neck, the othe
end being held in the mouth of th'
sparrow above. 1t gradually became
apparent to the bystanders that the!
were witnessing the execution of /
bird felon. After he had remained
suspended in this position a few mo
ments, a great uproar arose, and th,
eulprit was allowed to depart. 1t j
presumed that stay of proceeding
was granted on the plea Of temporar.

The Oil Figures for February.

OIL CITY, Pa, March 1.-The
Derrick monthly oil report of develop
ments in the producing field show
that in February 342 wells were COM
pleted with a production of GALS
barrels daily, against 1876 wells in jan
uary producing $3.50 barrels. At the
close of February $50 wells were drill
ing and ready to drill, against S6S at the
close of January. The weather has
been unfavorable for operations, and
when this fact, together with the short
month, is taken into consideration
the report is considered decidedly bear
ish. The market weakened under it
and closed very heavy at SIT.

The Shot at the Queen.


London, March 3.-The person who
made the attempt to assassinate the
Queen gives his name as Roderick
MacLean. He is twenty-seven years
of age, grocer's clerk by occupation,
u native of London, and is said to
have spent some time in the South
Sea Islands. Doctors who examined
him soon after his arrest pronounced
him sane. The revolver used by him isa
-chambered Colts American make.
Two chambers were found loaded and
two recently discharged. Fourteen
ball cartridges were found on him.
MacLean says hunger actuated the
crime. AS to the circumstances of the
shooting, the Queen had been in Lon
don since Tuesday, where she gave a
drawing room Wednesday, in honor
of Princess Helena, of Waldeck, who
is to marry Prince Leopold. At 5:25
yesterday afternoon she arrived at
Windsor, where great crowd had
gathered awaiting her. After alight-
ing from the train she started across
the platform to the carriage which was
to take her to Windsor castle. John
Brown had already ascended to the
seat behind the carriage, when man
standing at the entrance to the station
yard among the spectators, pointed a
pistol at the carriage and fired. He
had hardly done so when lie was seized
by the Superintendent of the borough
police, who was standing near by.
He was also seized by the crowd, and
only rescued when three or four police
came to the Superintendent's assist
ance. The pistol was captured by one
of the crowd. MacLean, who was
miserably clad. was taken into High
street, and thence conveyed to the
police station in cab.
AS soon as the Queen arrived at the
castle she ordered an esquire to proceed
to the depot to inquire if any one had
been hurt. Ponsonby, the Queens
secretary, proceeded to the police
station, and after obtaining all the in
formation possible telegraphed to Glad
stone the fact of the assault. The
whole affair was so quickly over that the
Queen did not receive ygreat fright.
Although the doctors say MacLean is
sane he is generally believed not to be.
Resolutions expressing horror at his
attempt were passed last night an var
iouS maptinps hoth in V,OndOn and
the provinces, including meeting of
Irishmen. The Gar, Empress of Aus
tria and Emperor William of Germany,
telegraphed messages of sympathy.
The Queen had her dinner partly last
night as usual. No political signifi-
canoe is attended in any quarter to the
outrage.
Although Victoria is one of the most
cherished sovereigns in Europe, there
have been repeated attemps to kill, in
most instances, however, by insane
persons. The first was in June, 1910,
by crazy boy named Oxford; the
second by John Francis in May, 1912,
who was sentenced to death, but who
was spared and transported for life;
the third was July, 1912, byJ w. Blan,
whose only punishment was eighteen
! months in prison. In 1875 half
witted Irish lad named O'Connor
pointed pistol at her, in punishment
for which he was given u years i'm
prisonment and twenty lashes.

MORE CHALLENGES.
In addition to the challenge to Geo.
Hazael, the winner of the race, from
Mr.. Theodore Davis to back an un-
known against him for another six
days race, four more challenges have
been issued. Mr.. Richard X. Fox,
who put half of the $1,000 for John
Hughes to enter in the sweepstakes es,
has forwarded to the Spirit of the
Times certified check for 81 900 to
back up his desire to match Hughes
against Hazael for q stake of S2,500 or
IS 900 side. Mr.. Hamilton Busby
has also received 500 from Mr. Peter
Duryea on behalf of an unknown he
desires to match against Hazael. 1t is
doubtless on behalf of Rowell that
this challenge has been issued. Fitz-
gerald is also anxious for another trial
against Hazael and Mr.. Busby holds
a monetary assurance of his wish to
make race. Hazael has nothing to
say regarding these challenges except
that he will be guided by what Mr..
Al Smith, wishes him to do. Mr..
Smith, when asked as to his intentions,
replied that this is no time to talk
about another match. Hazael will re-
quire months to recuperate and be fit
for another hard race for he is not q
young man now. Many things might
happen in the meantime, besides his
advise to Hazael would be to retire
now and put his money in some legiti.
mate business which would give him
ali income for life.
