Mt. Morris and TayiOrtown Gretna
Greens Again.

Many young couple around here
have been saddened by the refec-
tion that clipping to Pennsylvania
was not what it used to be. But
they need repine no more. A Pitts
burg attorney has caused a sensa-
ton by declaring in cout that Penn
sylvania's marriage license law is
imperative, He said: THE mar
riage license act was passed in 1885
and amended in 1898. That amend
ment repealed the law of 1885, but
uees not go intt effect until Oct. l.
1895 Consequently there is no
marriage heaass law in tdis state at
present" Nj. Rearden's reading of
the law is correct. Owing to a mis-
take the transcribing clerk at Har-
risburg made the bill read 1895 in
stead of 1898, as it should have been.

sickly looking ladies in this town.
asked a bystander, on seeing lot of
school girls vending their way tow
ard the public school.
"We have healthy climate" he
continued, "and every other animal
seems to flourish and have health,
why do the ladies alone seem to pine
and remain below par
1.-TWO reasons explain it," remark
ed his companion. "There is a no
ton among our people that women
don't need training toward health
Boys must have it. Base ball, the
bicycle, the gymnasium, and plenty
of outdoor exercise are admitted to
be necessary to the health and pro-
per development of the boy, but it is
supposed that girl can lace herself
up in corsets, squeeze all her organs
into in activity, sit down in a dark
room, and remain passive twelve
hours out of the twenty four, and
yet have color in her cheeks"
There is no animal, insect, or
even serpent that could be healthy
under such conditions"
Formerly" he said, "our girls
were accustomed to do a certain
amount of homework that gave them
exercise and development, but now
they are raised in the parlor, and do
not even have the drill of kitchen ex-
ercise to relieve their physical Ian
guor. )" i
"Look at that lady passing up the
other side of the street''-pointing
to one who just then happened in
sight-a sojourner from New York
"she moves like thing of life; ev-
cry muscle is developed; her move
ment is health and life itself; there
is color in her cheek, light in her
eye; and she looks like she is glad
that she is alive. There's an object
lesson in the matter of training
woman for health
THAT lady," he said, sis an in
stiuctor in physical training, and she
is revelation to many Of our women.
She has given them new concep-
tion of the possibilities of increased
health and life to be derived from
training for it. She is working a
revolution among our women. She
is showing them that the difference
between sickly languor and good
health and spirits is simply mat
ter of training-that even a woman
can be strong and vigorous and en-
joy life-that they can have color in
their cheeks instead of pallor-that
they can have bright eyes and flow
of spirits instead of apathy ennui-
that, in fact, a woman, as we'll as a
man, has the privilege and the right
to good health. That's a new con-
ception to the women of this town.

Fatality at Fairmont Saturday.

Last Saturday Solomon Sparks, 60
years old, residing in Marion coun-
ty, was killed at Fairmont by rail
road train passing over his body
Sparks was at the depot, where an
immense throng of people had gath
cred to welcome visitors who were
coming by train to take part in the
big Democratic demonstration there
that day. The crowd was so great
that in general move forward as the
train came in Sparks was pushed
off the platform. He fell on the rails
and the advancing train cut his
body in twain at the waist. He
leaves family. He was a highly
respected farmer.

The Use of the Commencement Hall.

There appears to be some confusion
in the minds of the public in regard
to the use of the Commencement
Hall for various entertainments and
enterprises. Citizens of the town
appear to be under the impression
that whenever any thing of a public
or private character, likely to attract
a crowd, is proposed, the University
Commencement Hall or some of the
University buildings should be
placed at the command Of the par
ties proposing the scheme,
We have had demands made upon
us for the use of the University
buildings for political conventions,
private gymnastics, band practice
or musical entertainments, private
dances, church entertainments and
private concerts, every one of which
in the estimation of the promoters,
had irresistible claims. The matter
has been presented to the Board OF
Regents in many forms, and until
further instructions are received
from that body, citizens will please
bear in mind that they cannot have
the use of the University buildings
or grounds, and ! trust they will not
press such claims as my instructions
and the well defined policy of the
Board preclude my granting per-
mission for the use of the University
buildings except in quite well de
fined cases. 1t is always unpleas-
ant to have to decline requests and
] trust hereafter that the public
will refrain from making requests
which it may as well be understood
first as last can not be granted.

SHOWING THE QUEER.
Lon and Fleming Henry Arrested OIL
Charged of CoanterfeitiBg.

Lon and Fleming Henry, sons OF
Samuel Henry, residing about five
miss from town up Decker's creek,
are under bond of $500 each to await
the actions of the Federal Grand
Jury having been held by U. S.
Commissioner Fast last Saturday af-
ter a preliminary examination.
1t appears that on the 18th of last
August there was a church festival
near where the Henry boys live, and
they we're among those who sold re-
freshments. There was some coun
terfeit coin passed that night and
several people got some of it, though
the amount in circulation there was
small. Last Saturday government
secret service detective arrived here
and began to work on the case, ac-
cumulative all the evidence possible
before warrant was sworn out. La
ter in the day the warrant was is
sued by Commissioner Fast and the
young men were arrested and put in
Jail.
Monday morning the hearing
took place. Several persons who had
ct the festival testified that they
purchased refreshments from the
Henrys and in making change re
ceived counterfeit coin for good
monep Some Of this coin was in
PRODUCED in evidence and showed to
be spurious.
The Henrys insisted that the
counterfeit was given to them for
purchases and they had not had any
of it when going to the festival and
had used none of their own money
there They said some one had said
that night he had some counterfeit.
nut that if they did have any of it
they did not know it, Their guilt
or innocence will be decided at the
next term of the Federal court. Their
father became their surety and they
were liberated Monday evening.
Lon Henry is the young man who,
several months ago, eloped with his
cousin, but whose intentions of mat
rimony were shattered by the appear
ance of the girls father on the train.

again at the universal exposition of 1878
The officers decoration of the Legion Of
Honor was bestowed upon him in the fol-
lowing year. At the exposition of 1889 he
took the grand prize, with the grade of
commander, in the Legion of Honor, and in
1891 he was elected member of the insti-
tute-a judgment passed by the highest of
his successful brother artists He, too, has
worked at painting, and carried off a sec
ond class medal at the Salon of 1888. He
has recently been employed in the sculptur-
al decoration of the university halls OF the
new Sorbonne The photograph represents
him working at one of the groups.

American city can be said to have a more
respectable parentage than the Lafayette

city Of Paris. which, it will be remembered
on the occasion of Victor Hugo's burial,
turned the great building from Its religious
uses to that Of burying place for the
noted men Of France. The painstaking
sculptor had elaborated two complete
groups, which were standing against the

on the present simple design. 1t Is a nude

The Man Who Tired CARLYLE.

From the London Spectator.
There is story of Carlyle in his old age
having taken the following farewell in his
broadest Scotch Of young friend who had
had him in charge for walks. and who while
almost always adapting himself to Carlyle's
mood had on single occasion ventured to
disagree with him: Il would have you to
know, young man, that you have the ca
pacity OF being the greatest bore in Christ
endom." The boredom had consisted solely
in the rather negative sin of not having
been convinced of the truth of one Of Car
lyle's dogmas, sin all the more henous
because. instead of standing boldly up to
Carlyle and declaring his doctrine utterly
perverse, the companion had betrayed his
weakness by an apologetic tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and he re-
spected antagonists, but he could not endure
being merely thwarted without being thor
oughly reused. He felt in that case that he
had made no impression at all on his inter-
locutor: that he had neither won him nor
excited him to resistance. And nothing
bored him so much as that. OF course 1t is
only exceptionally despotic minds that are
bored in this way.

THE "DANBURY NEWS" MAN.
A story About One of the Pioneers In
Humorous journalism.

An article on the late James NJ. Bailey,
the "Danbury News" man, In Harper's
Weekly, says:
Mr.. Railev's generosity was proverbial
His syrpathies were easily aroused. Misery
of any kind distressed him, ana he secretly
assisted many a poverty stricken family in
Danbury. Though small city. Danbury
has its full quota Of worthless idlers, who
knew Mr.. Bailey's weakness and took ad-
vantage of 1t most shamelessly. He seldom
left MS office without meeting one who
would pour tale of woe into his ears, and
, he would promptly hand the begyar enough
change To tide him over his financial crisis
Tc friend who ventured one day to re-
monstrate with him for throwing his money
away on such people, Mr.. Bailey replied,
| "Oh, the poor devils need a lift and be-
sides, tnty tell such good stories l can't
resist them"
One DAY q compcsitor entered Mr.. Bal
ley's sanctim with a rueful 2ounlenance.
MIR. Bailey" he said, I'm hungry, and
have no money. viii you lend me ten
cents for h sandwich?"
Certainly" replied Mr.. Bailey. handing
him a dime.
Five minutes later another compositor
approached him. "Will you let me have
ten cents. MIR. Bailey, for a sandwich" he
asked.
with pleasure" answered Mr. Bailey.
A third compositor entered the room
Mr.. Bailey he said. "Td like ten cents
for 4 sandwich"
AL right" said Mr.. Bailey, cheerfully.
A fourth and then fifth man followed
with similar requests.
Finally another compositor stood before
the editor. Mr.. Bailey" he said, will you
please let me have dime for a irink?''
Mr.. Bailey looked at him in feigned
aInazement. why do you lie to me?" he
asked. reproachfully. II know, sir, what
you want the money for. You want = sand
wich!'
The compositor collapsed. But he got the
dime.

Han2man's Day.
From the Indis

From the Indianapolis News.
Friday was from time immemorial con-
sidered an unlucky day among nearly all
the various branches Of the Aryan family
of nations, embracing the Greek, Latin.
Celtic Teutonic and Slavonic races-in
fact. the ancestors OF nearly all the present
populations of Europe. This was true
prior to the Christian era. The Romans
considered the day unlUcky. There were no
religious feasts on the day Friday became
even more obnoxious with the dawn of
Christianity, because, IL was held that the
crucihXiOn occurred that day In the
very early days of English Jurisprudence
IL became common practice to fix the
execution of criminals on Fridays. In CO.
lonial times the custom became TRANSPLANT
ed to the United States. No doubt this
custom, for which there is no statutory
provision, has tended to increase the feel
ing of superstitiOus dread about the sixth
day of the week. The Hindoos have, il is
said, this same superstition.
