How to Increase Your Wages.

Every thinker knows that the man
who would succeed must do more
work than he gets paid for in every pro-
fession and trade. We take, it for
granted that the manwho will do only
$50 worth of work week because his
salary is but $50 will never get more
than 500 week, for the simple reason
that he has never shown his employer
that he is worth more. We figure il
that an employe who means to sue
ceed has to do from 10 to 20 per cent
more work than he gets actual pay
for. This he has to do until he reach
es certain point, and having reached
that point he will find that by as much
as his income has increased, by so
much has the demand for amount and
intensity of his labor diminished. To
put this theory into figures, we will say
that a boy receiving $3 week should
do 81 worth of work; the boy receiv-
ing IS week should do 81 worth of
work; when he gets to be man and
receives $50 a week, he should do $50
worth of work; man receiving $50
should do $40 worth of work, and so
on until, say, the salary reaches $75,
and then the laborer can give himself
somewhat of a rest, that is to say,
about $50 worth of work will satisfy
his employer. Labor brings its mar
ket value, and is seldom Overpaid, Of
tener underpaid. 1t is the experience
the "Know How"-that brings the
money.-Philadelphia Ledger.

THE p. q E. BRIDGE.

The replacing of the wrecked
trestling of the two unfinished spans
of the new bridge at this place was
completed shortly before six o'clock
Monday evening. Several freight
trains then crossed over and the
Fast Line followed in safety. The
replacing of these trestles was diff.
ficult job on account of the high
and swift water and the uneven bot
tom. The water averaged sixteen
feet between the piers, and with the
current and lodging drift to contend
with, the successful completion of
the work in six DAYS is certainly a
remarkable feat. The work Of plac-
ing the iron spans will now be push
ed to completion at once. 1t is
expected that one span win be put
in on Sunday next and the other the
following Sunday. Travellers as
we'll as the Penny railroad officials
will alike feel relieved of a great
source of uneasiness when this
bridge is finally completed.
Fearing that some of the piers
were damaged by the last flood, a
diver came here on Tuesday and ex-
amined them. They were found all
right, and ready for the iron.
The Muncy bridge is not yet in
condition to allow trains to cross,
and the Reading continues to use
the Penny's tracks to Wiliamsport.
The Reading bridge at Milton re-
mains as the food left it, and it is
not probable that it will receive any
attention this winter.--Montgonaery

OHIO HAS HAD.Istsw SHARE.
The President will Not Take Su

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1T is e

WASHINGTON, Dec. LIT is ex-
pected the President will send in a
Supreme Court nomination very
soon. During the past week num-
ber Of prominent lawyers from
Northeastern Ohio have been here
urging upon the President the ap-
pointment of General 7. A. Sander
son, of Youngstown, to the vacancy
on the Supreme Bench. Sanderson
is unknown in Ohio politics, but has
an extensive law practice. Senator
Sherman was selected to present
General Sanderson's name to the
President. and according to ES-
State Senator Wolcott, who was
present, the senator was somewhat
shocked when told by the President
that all OHIO candidates for justice
might as we'll know at once that he
would not appoint an Ohio man."
The President is reported to have
said: ''Ohio has had more than her
share Of representation on the Su-
Irene Bench, and it is time to pass
the honors around. In twenty-five
years she has had Chief Justices
Chase and Waite, and Justices
Swayne and Matthews, besides
Judge Woods was practically an
Ohio man, although appointed from
Mississippi, to which state he went
after the war;"
Senator Sherman took advantage
of the interview to mildly intimate
that Ohio was being cleft" with
this Administration and that there
was much feeling about it among
his constituents. President Har-
rison did not agree with this state
ment, This alleged presidential
utterance was food for Tuuch talk
among Ohio men.

Clara Price of BcIlefOnte Murdered
Nov. ~.

RELLEFoNTE, Nov. 27.-One OF
the foulest murders that ever blot
ted this section of the StaJe was
perpetrated here this afternoon.
The victim of the sickening tragedy
is Clara Price, aged eighteen years,
the lovely daughter of David Price
liveryman, residing at Karthaus.
The terrible tragedy has cast q
gloom over the entire community.
The brutal murderer is still at larger,
but the authorities are making every
effort to his arrest. The details of
the terrible affair are substantially
as follows: About ten o'clock this
forenoon Clara Price left her fathers
house for the purpose of attending
market. While passing along a
lonely road she was pounced upon
by a villianous tram. A terrible
struggle ensued, but the unfortun-
ate victim was overpowered and
ravished. With q brutality and
hearLlessness almost unparalleled the
scoundrel then drew a pistol and
shot the girl four times. One bullet
pierced her heart, another entered
the back of her head, another her
back, while the fourth passed
through her neck. The girl died
instantly, any one of the shots being
sufficient to cause death.

given On the night in question.
His wounds were made either by a
bludgeon, by brass knuckles, or by
the heavily shod feet of one or more
assailants. McKenney, like any
other criminal lawyer of his prom
inence, had made many enemies
during his long practice, but the
police are unable to find that there
is any one among his known;enemies
whom they can suspect of'having so
brutally attacked him.

o'clock we sighted a water-logoed
vessel and ran close to her. All the
passengers had crowed to the port
rail, when some movement precipi-
tated both cockneys into the sea.
They made great splash as they
fell, and disappeared for only three
or four seconds. When they came
to the surface the steamer was al
ready checking speed, and as they
began to tread water to keep afIoat
