Attention. Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life of the
average physician is hard one. lie is
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for merely NOM
inal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for us to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use of PERUNA.
Ifh will only add this great remedy to
his list of medicines, he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found in the
"Ills of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
N. 7. Wright, Business Agent Evening

Newspapers Of To-day.

People generally, and even those W no
may be termed steady readers and close
observers, have but faint conception
of the magnitude and influence the
press of this country has attained.
From careful examination of the ad-
vance pages of the 1885 edition of the
AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY,
issued May 1st, by Geo. P. Rowell &
Co., of New York, it appears that there
are 14,147 newspapers and periodicals
Published in the UnitedStates ana Can.
ada; of these the United States has IL,
972. an average of one paper for every
1857 persons. In 1884 the total num-
Der of newspapers was less by S23 than
at present, and while the gain this year
is not so marked as in some previous
years, it is still considerable. Kansas
shows the greatest increase, the num-
ber being IS, while Illinois follows with
a gain of II. 1t is curious to notice
that New Y ork, the scene of SO much
political activity during the last cam
paign, should have only about one-thirI
as many new papers as the State of
Pennsylvania. AS an index to the
comparative growth and prosperity of
different sections of the country, esDec-
ially the Territories, the number of
new papers forms an interesting study,
and may well occupy the attention Of
the curious.

A TYPHOID EPIDEMIC.
A Deadly Disease Induced by
Bad Sanitary Conditions.
Thirty -Four Deaths in Three Days.
No Business Transacted Except
With the Druggist and Un-
dert aker.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, April pa
disease resembling typhoid fever has
appeared in Plymouth, "a mining town of
5000 inhabitants, "a few miles from here.
Forty deaths have occurred and over
900 persons are sick. The disease fire.
Quently ends in peritonitIs. The doc
tors, thirteen in number ARE kept work
ing day and night. They have 20 to
100 cases each, and finding that they
cannot give all proper attention have
appealed to the County MEDICAL Society
for aid. The distress and constern-
alton among the people is great.
Nearly all belong to the mining classes
and are poor. In many cases whole
Families are down with the disease. The
epidemic, IN the opinion of the physic-
ians is caused by the bad sanitary con-
dition of the place. There is not sew
er, or paved street, or properly con-
structed gutter in the town. In the
side streets, alleys and vacant lots gar
bage ,offall and refuse of all kinds have
accumulated and the recent hot wealth
er has turned those accumulationS to
breeders Of disease. A portion of the
town derives its water supply from
wells, the water of which has become
polluted by drainage from the soil.
Thirteen persons died on Friday "nd
fifteen on Saturday The disease main-
ly affects the children and infants,
though many adults are also attacked.
Six deaths have taken place since yes
terday and nine funerals were held to-
day. The whole town appears to be
in mourning. Business is practically
at standstill, except the drug stores
and undertaking establishments. AT
me- citing of the borough council last
night it was decided to clean the
streets, alleys and back yards at once.
The water company of the village hav-
ing made careful investigation have
notified the council that they were sup
plying pure and wholesome water, and
that one chief cause of the epidemic
was that large portion of the village
was supplied with water from wells
which had become polluted. A heavy
shower fell in Plymouth and it's vicini-
ty early this morning, and did much
towards cleaning the filthy streets. thus
creating more hopeful feeling. Ii the
rain is followed by colder weather the
noxious and fever breeding odors may
be eradicated.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
o,,r Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, d. O., April q, 1885.
A step in the direction of Squelching
polygamy in this country has been taken
by the Supreme Court of the United
States In the Cawson case, wherein the
court besides that the exclusion of poly
gamists from the jury-box is not only
lawful but is absolutely demanded, To
make the administration of justice ill
Utah anything but legal farce. To
admit to the panel for the trial OF a
prisoner charged with polygamy, set
of men who believe that the crime COM
mitted Is Justified by Diyine decree land
that it is no offence at all, is the high
est absurdity and a travesty upon the
system of trial by jury. This man
Clawson was convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary for term of four
wears and the case came up before the
U. s. Supreme Court on appeal based
upon the assigned error of excluding
poly gamic jurors. The decision paves
the way fer more convictions of the
same sort, but. the Mormons declare
that the enforcement of the law against
polygamy shall be resisted even to re-
sort to arms, because all such prosecu-
tors are nothing more nor less than an
infringement upon that religious liberty
which the Constitution guarantees to
all the citizens of the United States,
Utah included.
The last Congress, under pressure
of public sentiment that it could not
longer bear up against, passed an act
prohibiting the fencing in of the public
domain and requiring the removal of
all fences now-exlsting that inclose the
lands belonging to the Government. Of
course the law will not enforce itself,
and therefore the same pressure that
bore upon Congress has now been trans
ferred to the President, who has issued
his proclamation announcing that the
law must be enforced, and that all per-
sons, companies or corporations who
are maintaining fences upon the lands
uf the United States nustremove them
at once, in default of which the Presl-
dent will take such measures as shall
be necessary under the law to remove
or destroy them. BY the fifth section
of the law a sweeping authority is con-
ferred upon the President, to employ
both civil and military force sufficient
to wipe out the last vestige of these un-
lawful Enclosures. The people of the
country will hail with eminent satisfac-
tion the tidings that the executive has
made up his mind to enforce the stat
ute. PHONO.

THE number of Judges in this state

THE number of Judges in this state
is already very large. Yet the law
yers, who are dispr oportionately rep
resented in our legislature and who
seem to have the most say, cry for
more. They succeeded. recently in
the passage of bill which gives
Chester county an additional law
judge. Governor Pattison however
/. vetoed the bill and that disposes of
the matter at least for the present.
Several other counties in the state are
hankering for more judges, but under
the circumstances they will likely be
q little more patient.

THE following article from the Phil
adelphia Times contains lots of we'll
directed sarcasm and clearly illus
trates some of the pastime for which
our legislators draw pay:
Out on the Promenade.
As usual on Friday large number
of members of the Legislature yester-
day left the Capitol before adjourn
ment in order to catch the train for
Philadelphia. A call of the roll show
ed the want of quorum in the House,
and the Speaker had the doors closed
and ordered the Sergeant-At-Arms to
hunt up the absent members. When
the officer reached the station he was
too late. The train had just started.
It would have been cruel in the ex-
treme to have interfered with the O.
verworked members on the way home
to rest. They had been laboring hard
three days and part of the fourth
since their last recuperation, and they
were undoubtedly entitled to relaxa-
tion. They have no precedent for do
ing work on Friday, Saturday, Sum-
day or Monday, and they have found
by experience that they get forty dol
lars for those four days, while they
get only thirty dollars for the three
days on which they do assume to
work With this fact before them
they are not much to be scolded.
The average member of the Legis-
lature needs all the rest he can get,
and many have learned that one of
the very best places to get the much
needed relief from the great cares
which weigh them down is on the
Chestnut street parade of an after
noon. Besides getting rest the states
men serve to ornament the street, and
the State should feel proud ofthe priv
ilege of paying them for such import
ant service. It is for this that the
most beautiful men in every part of
the State are sent to the Legislature.
If Speaker Graham is going to Or
der a call of the House and deprive
Chestnut street OF its loveliest attrac-
tions he will get thia town very much
opposed to him. It was an absurd
and doubtless hasty act, which he al
ready regrets and will not have the
hardihood to repeat.
