Disaster Ayerted.

The great disaster in Pennsylvania,
BY which thousands of lives were lost,
Shows how a lesser one was averted
in this valley by few fool-hardy men
in the early settlement of this section
by the precipitation of the water of
the Runaway Pond down through
this valley. At that time 0S1O)
there were not more than three, pos
sibly not that number of families,
living in this valley which was swept
by the food bearing everything
before it. The warning at the mill
in Glover and the narrow escape of
the miller and his woman customer.
is well remembered. The family
who lived in this village near the
site of the house owned by E. A.
Holtham heard the roar of the ap.
preaching flood, and fed to the hills
westward. Although the flood as fal
down as the Coventry swamps anC
meadows tore down the timber of the

of the valley. The description givel

were trees, houses and every manner
of debris rolling and tumbling over
in confusion. It is said that in this
valley, in the narrowest place, the col
umn stood many feet in height and
that the mass was black with sand
and dirt, the trees turning end over
end. On the site of this village and
far and wide across and up and down
the valley were huge masses of trees
piled in great bodies and jams that
have not entirely been cleared away
to this day. The amount of sand and
earth deposited all over the surface
in this part of the valley varied from
several feet to few inches in depth,
showing the immense amount OF
heavy material that was borne by the
rushing waters.
It is unpleasant to contemplate
what would have been the result II
the waters had remained until time
when three or more villages and
hundreds of farm buildings were scat
tered afong the line that would have
been passed over by the flood. The
letting out of the water at the early
day was q propitious and Providen-
tial event, as we all can we'll realize
in view of many disasters of the kind
that have occurred in the country al
ready. Meanwhile it should not be
forgotten that there is still another
pond near the site of "Runaway"
which is liable to let loose quantity
of water that would be dangerous,
assuming, as is generally believed,
that there is a ledge across the outlet
not far below the present surface of
the water. We are not aware that
the water is damned up to danger
Gus height, but a few feet off the sur
face of Stone Pond, if it came down
through the gap made in a bursted
dam would flood and damage this
valley, bringing q loss that would
paw for all the water power a humid
red times over that is obtained in
damming the pond.

Men must make allowances for
women as women if they want to be
happy themselves and to make their
wives happy; and women must make
allowance for men as men. They each
have their own troubles and their own
needs, and often the one does not I'M
derstand and cannot understand the
needs of the other. Men have their
own troubles and worries and women
have theirs; let each be assured of that
as regards the other and act accord
ingly. 1t will be appreciated-don't
be afraid of that. Beware of maggie
dom, my dear. The man that will
stand being naggled at is saint, and
saints are not as plentiful as black ber-
ries in the world. There's male nagg-
ing, my dear, as well as female-male
grumbling and never being pleased;
and folks who expect to come out as
''ducks" at the end of 100 years would,
after eighty or ninety years nagging,
make poor figure in matrimonial
poultry show. If the man had been
grumbling and woman nagging all
that time they'd look like two moult-
ing birds and not like two well esta-
blished healthy fowls. Each to be the
others help, each the others blessing;
each to hope to be with the other for
ever and ever, and so to live here that
they may be tit for being together
there. QUiUer.

There is hitch in the enforcement of
the Gallagher Miners Registration and
Examination Law. The measure was
passed by the last legislature with view
! to excluding incompetent men from en-
ployment as miners in the anthracite
region, and has been in operation about
three months.
The trouble in the present instance
lies in the fact that the examining boards
in some districts refuse to recognize as
sufficient proof of proficiency the certifi
Gates issued to miners by examining
boards in adjoining districts. 1t is also
said that the subcommittee in certain
districts in default of definite instructions
from the board as whole have been
conducting examinations for certificates
in go-as-you-please way, which has
tended to aggravate the situation.
When a miner seeking work presents
certificate issued to him by duly con-
stituted,board in an adjoining district he
is entitled to registration. The members
of registration board who refuse to
recognize the validity of a certificate
manifestly violate the provisions of the
act, which says, regarding the holder of
such certificate. "He shall be entitled
to be registered without examination in
any other of theanthracite districts upon
the payment of the fee herein provided
for" The law, it will be observed, is
mandatory in this regard. The diff
Guilty, manifestly, is in the lack of uni
formity in examinations in all the dis
tricts. The law in this and other respects
is defective, and supplemental legislation
will be necessary to improve it, But
there is no reason why, in the meantime,
the common sense and experience of the
men who constitute the examining
boards should not suggest a remedy.
Let representatives of all the boards in
all of the districts meet and agree upon
some uniform system of examination
A satisfactory solution of the present
trouble would thereby be secured, while
the experience gained would suggest
notifications and additions TO the exist
ing law, of great value when the time
for further legislative action upon it had
arrived. d.-Phila. Press.

A Queer Find at Yale.

1t is related that not so verv long
ago two of the richest middle-aged
men in New York city went up to New
Haven, unknown and unannounced, to
look over the Yale buildings and the
city with view of sending their sons
there. They took n carriage to the
campus and there found the gentleman
whose regular business is the care and
supervision of the college property
and premises. They asked him to
show them about, and he did SO as
only he can. He made it very inter-
esting to them, and when they were
ready to go, the two had brief con-
ference and then the more famous one
(whose name begins with a So sign)
offered to his guide SO bill. What
is this forP" he asked. "Why that's
for showing us about, of course" was
the reply. "Well, | can't take IT," he
said, "I've only done what | am em-
ployed to do" and he positively de-
clined the gift and retired. 1t is relat-
ed that as the carriage rolled back to
the railway station, one of them re-
marked to the other, This is the first
town | ever struck where man
wouldn't take $40 bill if you offered
it to him. ."-Haryord Courant.

of the organization known as the Knights
OF Labor That is right, gentlemen.
Keep right on killing off the Knights in
your reports just as you have been doing
all along by the associated press and the
capltalistic press. To hear you tell it,
one must think that the Knights have as
many lives as cat. You've killed them
off, killed them dead, once or twice
month for several years, and one would
think that after so many repeated kill
lngs, you would leave the corpse alone.
After all, now confess it, gentlemen,
aren't the Knights lively enough to
make you just little uneasy? Haven't
you little overdone this business of
killing them off on paper !-Independent

The "killing OFF, process, during the
week ending Saturday last, caused the
following results, as announced in the
Orders official organ: Charters and
supplies were issued to 26 new local
assemblies and 3 that were reorganized
These were located as follows: 6 in
Alabama; 3 each in New York, North
Carolina and Texas; 2 each in Georgia,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania; and /
each in England, Scotland, Florida,
Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, South
Carolina and West Virginia. A charter
was also issued to new district assembly
at Glasgow, Scotland, which has 8 local
assemblies under its jurisdiction. In
addition to these, local assemblies are
being reinstated all over the country
which have not been working for several
months, and an increased interest is
being felt in nearly every section.

WHEN the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania revolts against the lead
ership of William L. Scott then the
Republican majority of 10000 will
rapidly disappear. While it allows
itself to be controlled by that arch
enemy of labor it deserves to be kept
in the minority. Scott's views on po.

to see him put them into every day
use among his miners.
