Killing Trees That sprout.

The best way to get rid Of willows or
other trees liable to sprout from the
stump is TO girdle them and let them
stand until they cease TO produce leaves.
BY this plan all trouble with sprouts will
be avoided, according to Ohio Farmer.

This phrase, we so often hear, she is an

people, seems to mean nothing more
than that the person of whom it is said,

But honesty signifies great deal
more, and particularly SO when used in
reference TO any person who is clothed
with authority, or who holds any re-
sponeible situation or office. Much

A City Ambulance,

The 1NTELLIGENCER has often urged
the propriety of the purchase of an am
bulance, by either the city or county,
for use in conveying injured people To
the hospitals or their homes. An Incl
dent Of recent occurrence was so elo-
quent of this necessity in its bare recital.
that we had hoped some action in the
matter would speedily follow, but coun-
ellis have met and done nothing, and
there are no indications of intentions
that may result in action. The incident
referred to is the moving to the hospital
OF the two men who Were injured by fall
ing from bridge abutment. On Tues
day they reached the Pennsylvania rail
road station and were put into an ex-
press wagon and hauled out to the hos
pitai. This was the best that could he
done under the circumstances F; but the
sanering OF these men lying on the bot
tom OF that wagon, and taking fearful
pang with every jar and jolt, makes the
strongest argument that can be adj
vancsd for the purchase of an ambu-
lance. itmay he thought that accidents
requiring the use Of an ambulance are
very rare, but il would be used in all
eases Of injury, whether the patient wa
taken 10 his home or hospital, and u
record of such cases throughout the year
p by no means trifiing. In an active
city like Lancaster, with manufacturing
establishments, great warehouses and
RniiroAds, accidents must always he eX-

pected and IL Is duty to I've prepared
to meet them with every appliance that
ingenuity can devise, or humanity sug-
gest.
The hospitals of the great cities have
each an ambulance house equipped n
little like fire engine house, with the
horses standing ready for instant use, and
the driver living and sleeping in the same
building, close to telephone by
which he may he called to any part OF
the city, taking doctor with him.
Such nm arrangement cannot be ex-
pected at our hospitals and Is not neccs-
sary, but the placing of an ambulance
i'm one Of the central fire engine houses,
would meet every probable require
ment. The horses and men of the fire
department would I've ready to respond
promptly TO telephone call, and II would
seem TO be very welcome and honora-
bic addition to the duties of the fircmen.
Though this suggestion has been adj
vanccd several times without effect, we
are not without hope that It may even
tually receive the attention of the city
fathers, or that some other plan may be
found for meeting this want Of an ann
lance.

Professor T.. o. Lyte, principal of the

his name i'm classic characters on the La

with bath. lie Is sometimes called the
handsomest man in Lancaster county, but
this is when Hay Brown aud Frank Esh-

stands well to the front in the
column of Pennsylvania educators.

which he now holds he was professor Of
English grammar ut the same school, and
there Is nothing that initiates him more
Ia this day than to hear II man rccklcssly

be appropriate to his handsome boat.

FOUND AMONG JUNK.
Secretary Cutter Resurrects the

Secretary Cutter Resurrects the
Long Lost Insurance Measure.
There was resurrection at the capi-
tol yesterday, when one Of the missing
house bills was discovered in waste
basket. The bill was that providing for
the regulation of cooperative life and
endowment insurance companies, which
Deputy Insurance Commissioner Todd
this week discovered missing. O. L..
Cutter, secretary of the senate, hap
pened to make his appearance at the
state house, and an investigation of the
senate records disclosed the fact that
the bill was sed by that chamber.
The journal showed this, although no
such mention is made in the record book
of engrossed bills. 1t was the last bill
to pass the senate, and Mr.. Gut
ter at once returned it to the
house, where it appears to have been
consigned to waste basket containing
huge pile of defeated measures.
There it slept until yesterday. The
discovery of the bill does not effect the
situation; it cannot become a law this
year, the constitution providing that all
bills must be signed by the governor
within three days of the adjournment
of the legislature. Besides the bill had
not been enrolled, and the signatures of
Lieut.. Gov. Rice and Speaker Graves
were consequently lacking. The whole
circumstances surrounding the mis-
carriage of the bill is an instance of the
loose way in which the laws of the state
are enacted.
