(SignedD 81. H. GRAHAM"
The above telegram, from Esquire James
H. Graham, was received at the office of
Charles Somers & Co. about $3.50 yesterday
afternoon and gave great satisfaction. Later
reports make the attendance much larger,
some estimates ranging as high as 5000.
Squire Graham's estimate was probably
correct at the hour his telegram was sent,
but there were steady and larger acquisi-

there was brisk buying and many lots dis

ming at the Union Refinery, Thomas

terrible nervous shock to his daughter.
From their house she had seen him on the
tank. Her attention was drawn away and
when she looked again, as the big bolt came;
it was to see the whole top of the tank lifted
and dropped back into the burning naphtha.
Not knowing her father had climbed down
from the tank and gone to another, she had
the horrible conviction that he had dropped

series of swoons. which the re-appearance
of her father beside her was tie first to
check.

WALLER MUST GO.
A Decision Against Both Him and Snyde:
Handed Down By Judge Simontoa.

HARRISBURG, July l6.-In an opinion handed
down to-day by Judge Simenton, in the case
of the Commonwealth against d. j. Waller,
Jr, Superintendent of Public Instruction,
the Court enters judgment of custer in favor
of the Commonwealth against DR.. Waller.
Regarding Chief Justice Mercur's opinion in
the same case with respect to an appoint
ment after rejection by the Senate as in the
case of Dr. Snyder, the Court considers that
the conclusion to which it leads is binding,
and therefore adopts it. He thinks the
spirit and intent of the Constitution forbids
one who has been rejected by the Senate to
be appointed.
1t is understood that the case will be car
ried to the Supreme Court, in which event q
final decision will hardly be rendered be-
fore next May. Meanwhile Dr. Waller will
discharge the duties ofthe office.

BLAMED FOR THE RAvERNA WRECK.
The Freight Crew Censured, But the Flag
man Gets Off Easy.

CLEVELAND, July 16.-M. j. McIrna, State
Inspector of Railroads, has submitted his
report in the Erie wreck at Ravenna to
Commissioner Norton. He relieves the flag
man of the passenger train almost entirely
from blame, and attaches it to the crew of
the freight.
1t was found that when the two trains
passed Kent they were but four minutes
apart. while the rules of the company pro-
vide for the running of trains not nearer
than five minutes apart. Another rule of
the company permits passenger trains to re-
main at the station three minutes before
sending back q fiagman. This gave the flag
man but one minute to go back and he was
500 feet down the track. He was, according
to the report guilty of a little negligence in
not placing lighted fuse on the track.

D0DGlNG AN ANTITRUST LAW.
Grocers to Be Made Agents of the Monop-
olies, To Maintain Fixed Prices.

CHICAGO, July 16.-The wholesale grocers
of the city met here to-day to consider q
proposition from the Liggett & Myers To-
bacco Company of st. Louis, which is in
tended to evade the antitrust law passed
by the last State Legislature. 1t is under
stood that this plan has the sanction of the
Tobacco Trust, and the grocers of the city
anticipate its adoption by the Sugar Trust,
the Starch Trust etc.
In brief, it proposes, in the place of obli-
eating the wholesaler to sell at the Trust
price, to make him the agent of the Trust,
under conditions which will force the main
tenance Of prices as effectually as under the
old plan. Considerable opposition to the
new scheme was developed at to-day's
meeting, but no definite action was taken.

DIR. Talmage says: II was reading
of a wife whose husband had been
overthrown by strong drink, and she
went to saloon where he was ruined,
and said: "Give me back my husband. :"
And the bar tender, pointing to a
maudlin and battered man browsing
in the corner of the barroom, said:
''There he is. Jim, wake up; here is
your wife, come for YOU" And the
the woman said: "Do you call that my
husband? What have you been doing
with him? Is that the manly brow? Is
that the clear eye? Is that the noble
heart that I married? What vile drug
have you given him that has turned
him into a fiend? Take your tiger
claws off him. Uncoil those serpent
folds of evil habits that are crushing
him. Give me back my husband, the
one with whom [ stood at the altar ten
years ago. Give him back to me-"

The Forsaken Farmhouse.

Against the wooded hills it stands,
Ghost of a dead home, staring through
Its broken light on wasted lands
Where old-time harvest grew.
TTnplowed. unsown, by scythe unshorn,
The poor forsaken farm fields lie,
Once rich and ripe with golden corn
And pale green breadths of rye
OF healthful herb and flower bereft,
The garden plot no housewife keeps;
Through weeds and tangle, only left,
The snake, its tenant, creeps.
A lilac spray, once blossom-clad,
Swavs bare before the empty rooms,
Beside the roofiess porch sad,
Pathetic red rose blooms.
His track in mould and dust of drouth,
On floor and hearth the squirrel leaves,
And in the freless chimney's mouth
His web the spider weaves-
The leaning barn about to fall
Resounds no more on husking ewes;
No cattle low in yard or stall,
No thresher beats his sheaves.
So sad, so drear! 1t seems almost
Some haunting presence makes its sign;
That down yon shadowy lane some ghost
Might drive his spectral kline!

sentatives on the 1st and End days of
April, 1924, he said:
Commerce is not gambling among
nations for stake, to be won by some
and lost by others. 1t has not the ten
dency necessarily to impoverish one
of the parties to it, while it enriches
the other; all parties gain, ali parties
make profits, all parties grow rich by
the operation of just and liberal com
merce. If the world had but one cline
and but one soil, if all men had the
same wants and the same means on
the spot of their existence, to gratlfy
their wants, then, indeed, what one
obtained from the other by exchange
would injure one party in the same
degree that it benefited the other;
then, indeed, there would be some
foundation for the balance of the trade.
But Providence has disposed our lot
much more kindly. We inhabit a
various earth. We have reciprocal
wants and reciprocal means of graft
flying one another's wants. This IS
the true origin of commerce, which is
nothing more than an exchange OF
equivalents, and, from the rude barter
of it's primitive state to the refined
and complex condition in which we
see it, it's principle is uniformly the
same, it's only object being in every
stage to produce that exchange of
commodities between nations which
shall conduce to the advantage and
| happiness of both"
