shioh made the daughter the Joint partaker

which made the daughter the Joint partaker
with Earl Heron, his nephew, OF all his fortune
provided only the young people should marry
within three months of the time of bis death.
These two had never seen each other and
they were naturally not inclined to fall in love
although the character of each WAS all that
the other could desire The unconscious
marplot WAS certain Emma vane simple
girl who had entangled young Herrons
directions and through the influence OF a
scheming aunt had yielded to his suit
though herself in love with young farmer
Thurlow who was manly self asserting lover
and finally won the day by discovering and
uncovering the plot Of the aunt.
Add to these materials scheming mother
for Muriel Hazel, the necessary villain
OF the play, Gregory Hall, who would inherit
fifteen Thousand pounds il the marriage OF
Earl and Muriel failed and Mr. Imbrie, the
family solicitor, who was smart enough to
nntangle the threads when they became
thoroughly mixed, and we have the necessary
elements of very readable story. The mar.
riage of Muriel and young Heron takes
place M the merest form and they separate
at the church door each unwilling to disap.
point tho other and having barely met under
unfavorable circumstances.
Ii was after marriage that the wife was
really won. How il WAS done, together with
the efforts OF Gregory Hall to bring his evil
plans to success, and how Earl Herron'f
monument was erected before he had really
died and how he and his wife met and loved
without identifying each other, make up the
materials of which the rather original plol
is worked out.

It's Lofty Point OF View.
LONDON, April 14.-In discussing the
recent arrests OF the suspected dyna
miters, the Time, this morning, saws
1.-THE expectation is strong that these
arrests will lead 10 important disclosures
which will throw light upon the reoent
explosions. We believe that on.
or two informers will be pro
duoed who will reveal the
headquarters of the conspiracy whether
in France or America. We are assured
that the French authorities are on our
side and that the French polioe will pre-.
vent outrsges. We have, however, nc
such assurance from America
We do not believe that tn,
American police would counivs al
the sending of Internal machines across
the Atlantic, but an open crusade is
preached in America against England and
funds are collected therefor, and
the things which have bsep
threatened have been done. The
facts are well-known to the American
police. They can act now II they choose.
But in the present temper OF the Ameri.
can people We should not hope much from
them.'

Miss Lula Hurst Appears Before a

The Columbus, Ca, Enquirer. Sun of
Saturday, says: Lula Hurst, the
electromagnetic girl who has been the
subject OF much discussion for several
months past, MAIDS her frat appearance
before Columbus audience at Springer
Opera House last night. There Is moth
ing unusual in her appearance. She ia a
simple country lass, and is very modest
aud unassuming in her manners. The
exhibition la1t night OF the power pos.
sessed by her was certainly very wonder
ful and no one has been found who ia
able to explain it. ..
Several gentlemen, among whom were
Messrs. John ]. Patterson, C. X. Battle.
John W. Rid snd D0zier Pou, went on
the stage TO satisfy themselves and til.
audience tina. there was no huu.br.
about the performance. She fist elsotri.
lied an umbrella which Messrs. Patterson
and Riddle attempted to hold in position,
but the force was so great that the handle
was wrenohed in two. By the simple
laying on OF her hands, she electrifies an
ordinary chair so that the combined
efforts OF three or four strong men cannot
control its movements. Mr.. Moulier of
Chsttahoochee county, who was some
what skeptioal, when on the stage and
ATTEMPTED to hold stick in steady posi-
ton, but he was made to dance about
over the stage as mere child. Several
other young men tested her remarkable
power and were all satisfied that there
was no trick about 1t.

rumors to the effect that the Baltimore &

secured controlling interest in the
stock OF the unfinished Chester county
railroad. George f. Work could not con
firm the report, but thought that II the

Chester county road it would not be
used as part OF the main line, but simply
as suburban branch to West Chester.
The road is graded for three-fourths Of
the distance to that town, but rails have

was on August 9th, 1929, that he super
intended the transfer of the "stourbridge

pared for 1t al HOnesdale, Pa, and
ran the locomotive three miles and back

Senator Bsysrd's speech Is an abund-
ant justification Of his opposition to the
Educational Appropriation bill, were any
justification needed. The scheme owes
Its origin to the abnormal condition OF
the national treasury, overlooking as 1t is
with taxes which have been flohed from
the pockets Of the people to
foster few over-proteo,ed industries
The object of the promoters Of
this bill is identical with other
schemes Of proteotionists-to SO de-
plete the treasury as to make it appear
that the nation can expend all the money
produced by exorbitAnt taxstiou and thus
to initiate against any material eduotion
OF the revenue. II this kind Of thug
goes on the time will come when the
states will look to the general government
to provide all the money they need, not
only for educational but for all other
purposes, and the federal tax gathering
power will become an engine for the
subversion of all the rights OF the states
and the concentration Of all authority In
the hands Of the party leaders who may
dominate the country from the national
capital.
Apart from this consideration, how
ever, there ia plenty Of room to doubt the
wisdom OF extending aid to the states in
educational matters. The people Of the
states generally are able to educate their
own children, and will do so II left alone.
10 just the degree that they are relieved
from this care by the appropriation Of
national funds, there is room to fear that
home exertions may be relaxed and a
spirit of disinolinAtion to increase taxa
tion for school purposes fostered.
As to the Senate bill, however, Della
ware, like Maryland and probably som,
other states, has no direct Interest, beyo
that of guarding against the missppro
priAtion OF the surplus in the treasury
Delaware, like Maryland, is not entitled t,
share in the proposed appropriation, be
cause the bill stiPulAtes that "no money
shall be paid ont under this act to An,
state or territory that shall no
have provided by law a system OF ire,
common schools for all its children, o
"school age, without distinction OF rae,
"or color, either in the raising or dis
