when the system was being introduced

LEGEND OF lOCH MAREE.
4 Double Tragedy which Led TO Its 81
lection as . Burial Grouud.

A Double Tragedy which Led 60 Its Sc
lection a. . Burial Ground.
The most interesting of the islands in
Loeb Maree is by no means the biggest,
but it differs entirely from the Others
in it's varied vegetation, says the Lon
don Queen.
There is a romantic legend in connec-
ton with this island. In olden times a
Norwegian prince and princess lived
there happily. In time of trouble the
prince went forth To war, leaving his
island to be guarded by his wife.
1t was agreed that when he was in
sight of home on his return white dag
should be hoisted if oil was well; if not,
Q black one.
Time passed, and the princess became
jealous of his long absence. When his
boat at length appeared in the loch a
black flag was hoisted. and when he
landed he found his wife lying, IA il
dead, on a bier, she having feigned
death 70 prove his love.
Heartbroken at the sight the prince
unsheathed his dagger and plunged it
into his heart. A thud, and he lay dead
at her feet
Horrifed at the sight she grasped the
dagger from his breast and took her
own life. They were buried in this ro-
mantle spot, foot to foot, with the hilt
of dagger engraved on their tomb
stone.
Since then the landowners of the
neighborhood have had the right to
bury on the island, and some of the
graves are of curious, unhewn stones
This island burial is quite common in
Scotland. 1t is a delightful idea that
the dead should rest in peace surround
ed by beautiful scenery and far enough
from human habitation to do no harm

Official Returns of Pennsylvania.

from the Ph1ladelphld record.
To the student OF political statistics
the election returns of Pennsy lvania for
President present some interesting fea-
lures. Four years ago the total vote of
the state for president was 993, 671, and
Harrison's plurality over Cleveland was
79,45S. This year the total vote of the
state was 1 1908, 010-an increase of only
$3.50 votes III four years. Harri5on's
plurality over Cleveland is 60, AT, or
loss of 1911, while Harrison's vote is
10000 less than his vote in 1888. Cleve-
land gains 1851 on his former vote.

The leading Democratic politicians of
the country, and more especially of the

slap has caused almost frenzy of re-

coterie of politicians, most of whom
were old New York cronies, and now that
he will be serving his last possible term
none but personal favorites can hope for
much influence with him or recognition.

TO the Water-Takers Of
Clifton FORGE

During the past few weeks there has
been SO great unnecessary waste of
water through carelessness and frequent
ly through apparent intent, that it has
been almost impossible to keep sur
plus of water in the reservoir.
/ take this method of calling the at
tention OF the water-takers to sections Is
and 70 respectively of the Rules and
Regulations of the Clifton Forge Water
Company. towit:
Sec. 10 There shall be no unnecessa-
ry waste of water. Any person violating
this rule shall be liable to have his sup~
ply of water shut off, and the amount
paid therefor forfeited.
Sec 28-Whenever the Superintend-
ent shall find that the stop cock or box
controlling the supply to any premises,
or that any. pipe within the curbstone,
or any fixture upon the consumers
premises, is broken or not in serviceable
condition, he shall at once notify the
consumer OF the fact; and should said
consumer fail to remedy the defects,
water will be shut off and will not again
be turned ON until the apparatus be put
in serviceable condition.
These rules will from this date be rig
idly enforced by a careful inspection
from house to house and in no case will
the water be turned on again except
chat satisfactory guarantee he given
that the offense will not be repeated and
one dollar be paid for the same.

Bold Robbery Under the Glare Of the
Electric Light.
C. COLLINS TAYLOR,
Sec. and Treas.

Between II and II o'clock on Satur
day night last, in a section of the city
splendidly lighted by electricity. on
Smiths creek bridge, on Main street, a
bold and successful robbery was perpe>
tuated. At that time, and just after the
night Waterman had passed by, the
Clifton Forge Shoe Company's store was
entered, by breaking the lock on the
rear door, while the electric lights with
in were brightly burning. Entrance
having been gained. the front blinds
were lowered and the thief or thieves
proceeded to appropriate whatever their
fancy suggested Shoes. shirts, ties,
silk handkerchiefs, jewelry &c, to the
amount Of $4,000 were carried off, and
the surprise is that they were SO consid-
crate. in not making q larger appropri-
alton of property not their own. No
clue has been discovered as to the gull
ty parties, but it is very evident that
these frequent raids are well planned
and faultlessly executed. Some speedy
means should be devised to bring these
scamps to justice, for neither life nor
property is safe. They operate first in
one section and then in another, and
they seem to be entirely familiar with
the various localities. The authorities
should be vigilant, and hunt these bold
violators of law until their plumber and
hiding place is found. 1t can be done il
the proper steps are taken.
