The readings by Miss Hannah NJ
Schanck, of this city, at Lyceum Hall, on
Monday evening, drew out large and in,
telligent audience. Miss Schanck has
more than ordinary natural gifts as an elo
cutionist, as those who recall her efforts
as a school girl will remember, but in the
months that she has been away from
home, she has cultivated her talent until
she has reached a point where few pro.
fessional readers outranlS her. Her read.
ings are natural, FREQ from mannerisms
or staginess, her enunciation is distinct,
aud her voice fresh and clear. In char
acter limitations, she has a fine command
of facial expression, and that, in addition
to well modulated voice, gives her great
excellence in such renderings. She was
ably assisted by Miss M. F. Marshall, a
teacher Of elocution in Bethany College,
Philadelphia, who recited several selec-
tions in such way as to show that she
was master of her profession. Altogether,
our people have rarely had better even
ing's entertainment.

The Exemption Law.

The Exemption Law.
There are probably some people in this
city interested in the tax emption law
which has been filed recently by the Gov
ernor. The act is re enactment of old
laws declared unconstitutional exempt
ing firemen, veteran soldiers, National
Guardsmen and the widow of soldiers of
the late war from poll taxes and taxes on
$500 worth of personal property. Under
the old law those who were exempt could
ap pear at the tax office on the last day
VIII en- taxes were due and make state
ments which would entitle them to the
exemption. Under the new law all per-
sons who are interested must appear be-
fore the board before June 10, with their
papers and vouchers, showing that they
are entitled to the benefits of the law. If
they do not appear they will be debarred
from the exemptions granted them under
the act.

Pink Eye Coming This Way.
Horsemen ale greatly exercised over
the recent appearance of the disease
among horses known as pink eye. It is
the same disease which attacked nearly
all the horses, in more yirulent manner,
about fifteen years ago, when it was popu-
larry called the epizooty. AT Philadel-
phia, where the epidemic broke out few
weeks ago, some of the horses have died
from the disease. An Easten veterinary
doctor said the other day that the disease
was coming northward, there now being
some cases in Bethlehem, Pa Hunter

William R. Curtis, son and brother,
who in a short time after being mustered
out of the army (nearly twenty three
years ago., left his home, then in Lam

any word been received by his folks from
him for about twenty years past. 1t was
not known until last week whether the
absent brother was in the land of the liv-
ing or not, aud when the letter was re-
ceived, from San Lucas, Call, it was a
pleasant surprise indeed. An answer to
his letter was at once sent, and doubtless
in the near future loved ones who have SO
long been separated shall he re united.

The population of Trenton was on
April 80 increased 1900 by the CONSOLE
dation of the suburban towns OF Cham
bersburg and Millham, giving the city
now a reputod population of nearly co.
900. The consolidation went into effect
at midnight, on Thursday Of last week,
and there was a big celebration. The
residents of each of the three municipal
ties entered heartily into the spirit of the
thing, aud the enthusiasm was fully as
great as that which prevails on the Fourth
of July.
From nine o'clock until early in the
morning the small boys kept up con-
tinual blowing of tin horns, ringing of
COW bells, etc, making the sleepy bias
phemous and the wakeful jubiant. The
City Hall, the Young Mems Republican
rooms and nearly all the stores and build
ing in the central part of town were
brightly illuminated and bedecked with
Chinese lanterns, Gags, etc. Greene and

thronged with people shooting off big
fire crackers and waiting expcctantly for
Trenton to become a great city. Fire
works were set off all over the city and
10 Chambersburg aud Millham.
There was, indeed, high carnival. Tho
fire bells were rung, the manufacturers
blew their steam whistles, aud brass
bands, fire rackers, tin pans, tin horns,
etc., all combined TO make melody that
was enchanting to the ears of the consoli-
dationists.
When the first stroke of midnight
sounded, the entire fire department, amid
the deafening cheers of the dense throng
of people, rushed to the City Hall, where
rockets and all manner Of fireworks were
set off, lighting the sky SO that it could
be seen for miles about. Tho town clock,
steam whistles and bells throughout the
city then commenced din that win long
ring in the ears Of the people.

AR AMERICANS DYSPEPTICf

A prominent English physician has recently
proved to his own satisfaction ut least that the
dwellers in American cities are generally ncurotics
and dyspcptics First of all, he says the Pur1tahs
who emigrated to New England wen characterized
by neurotic temperament, for PuritahiSm was
argcly q disease OF the hillary duct. And so ever
since il has been the neurotic member OF tie Ing
sh family who has grown dissatisfied WIN Cho
conditions OF life in the old country, and has
emigrated either to Australia or America. On the
other hand the Defeating squire type OF Eng
lshman, being content with things as they are,
has stayed at home
But this Is not all. The climate and the pc
culiar conditions OF life that exist in this country
have developed and intensified this original
ncurotic type, until 1t may now be fairly called
the American type and is indeed so recognized
throughout Europe. This type exists In its most
perfect form In the larger American cities For
It Is the neurotc member Of the family who Is
most inclined to kick against the monotonous
life Of the country All such men DRIFT into
cities, where they can find an outlet for their
energetic and often splcnetic unreS. In their
case also the neurotic tendency Is increased by
their environment They become small In phy-
siaue, and as o rule chronic dyspeptics Iheir
children are apt to succumb to the maladlcs OF
childhood The men are kind and indilgent to
their families, but irritable. The women are
bright quickwitted, spirituelle, but restless
They are fond Of living gregarious lives, and spend
large portion Of their time In relating to each
other the evidences Of their physical weakness
And so In three generations at most these highly
developed but diseased men and women die out
literally consumed by the fire Of their own abnor-
NAL vitality.
Doubtless the congratulations Of this English
physicians are too sweeping. 1t is not true that
only the men Of q ncurotc or nervous tcmpera-
ment come from tho country into American cities
Indeed 1t is quite the other way. The vitality OF
our cities is steadily replenshcd by the thou-
sands OF strong imbed and clear-headed country
boys who are constantly pouring into them, and
whose nerves Of steel enable them TO withstand
the terrible strain OF city life for many yoars
But IL is undoubtedly true that cities do tend
to produce highly nervous type OF man and
woman with no stomach TO speak OF and much
impaired liver. But with the increase Of wealth
and luxury this type will doubtless disappear
Even now the lean dyspcptic American, with
hungry look Of conquest in his eyes, is rapidly
giving plac. TO tho jolly well-fcd, easy-golng
American. who, having conquered fate and
destiny, can afford to take life as it comes with
all the good-natured calmncSs Of an cpcurean
philosopher

WALKER BLAINES LETTER.

| y
Mr. Walker Blaines historical review OF the
Fisheries question, published in to-day's ISSUE
is a timely contribution to the literature of this
important subject. 1t is exceedingly inter-
csting, lucid and dignifed in style, and
markedly conservative in tone. He approaches
tho subject from the Western point of view,
and discusses it with less warmth of feeling
than is manifested by champions OF the fisher
men on the Ncw-Engand Coast His argu-
mcnt is addressed to classes OF Americans who
arc disposed to regard tho fishing industry as
one of minor importance in comparison with
interests of National magnitude; and conse-
quently, it will be appreciated more highly in
the interior States than at Gloucester and on
the coast of Maine Ito condemns the Fish
cries Treaty unrcscrvcdly, albeit with studied
moderation of language, which will remind
many readers of his fathers elevation OF style
in "Twenty Years" lie suggests two alterna-
tives for that unfortunate convention: tho en-
forccmeut of the Retaliation act and the adop-
ton Of unrestricted commercial reciprocity
with Canada The latter alternative, in our
Judgment, would leave American fishermen at
the mercy of Canadian competitors who receive
bountes from their Government. So far as
the New England fishing industry is concerned
unrestricted reciprocity would involve the
restoration OF the conditions of the Treaty OF
Washington, under which the Canadian fleet
multiplied its resources while the Yankee fish
crmen steadily lost ground. Commercial reel
procity is too large n measure, ono affecting
too many commercial interests, to be consld-
cred as an alternative to the surrender Of
American rights involved in Secretary Bayard's
Ipntn l..t,o in, l. ind "a hp mi
method of rcdrcssing fsNermcn's wrongs that
is consistent with the dignity Of great Nation.
1t seems to us that Mr. Walker Blaine in his
historical narrative lays too little stress upon
the tenancy in common in the North Atlantic
fisheries, which Americans enjoyed before and
after the Revolution by virtue OF conquest
from the French and actum occupation. The
rights which they have in those waters to-day
wclc acquired in Colonial days and were rccog-
nizcd. not created. by the Treaty Of Peace.
Mr. Blaine oycrlooks, also. in our Judgment,
the real explanation Of the remuneration Of a
portion Of those rights in the Treaty Of 1878.
\ fter the War Of 1872 the British Government
asserted that American rights, which had been
recognized in 1853, had ceased altogether IN
consequence Of subsequent hoStilltcs. 1t was
this mOnStrous claim which induced Commis-
sioncrs Gallatin and Rush TO abandon the in
shore fisheries within the thrcc-milc belt in
exchange for the guarantee Of pcipctulty OBJ
tanned by the Treaty Of 1918. Historic rights
which. by the previous convention. Americans
"contlnucd to enjoy were declared by the
later one to Ice ",hcrs forever" 1t was this
guarantee which rcconcilcd the Commissioners
to the idea Of lenouncing inShorc privileges
thon considered to be practically worthless.
