A Fight for Pure Butter.

The next legislature will be flooded
with petitions from subordinate and Po-
mona oranges, dairymen's associations
and farmers clubs through the State
protesting against the repeal of the law
prohibiting the sale of oleomargarine in
the State. The form of petition will be
prepared by a committee consisting of
Col. R. II. Thomas, of Merchandising,
DIR. B. H. Warren, of West Chester, and
Senator Gerard C. Brown. of York.-Ot-
ford Press.
when farmers realize that 'peti-
tioning" congress and Legislatures is
apiece with darting straws against
the wind, they will commence right
ing their wrongs by voting right.
That is sending men of their own
class to congress. There are about twenty
five millions in their class and they are
represented by twenty-eight farmers in
congress.-ED.

The Difference.

Congress cannot even entertain Coxey's
suggestion of some plan for employing
American citizens at home, but it can
very easily and eagerly listen to propo-
sition to issue millions of U. S. Bonds to
assist foreign capitalists to employ foreign
labor to build canal across Nicaragua.
In the one case the result would be money
in the hands of the American 1aborers and
wealth producers, on the other it is gold
interest bearing bonds in the hands of
bankers and capitalists for labor to pay.
This is the real difference, but the
''powers that be tell us that the Coxey
plan is paternal, impracticable and i'm
possible; that the Nicaragua plan is al
together right and practical.-KaHSaS

Men Who Make the Best Husbands.

Every unmarried man thinks he
would make a good husband; every
married man knows he is the best
husband in the world, of coure; and
the man a woman loves possesses
Gin her estimation, at least) the
elements of an ideal husband. 1t
is interesting, therefore, to know
the opinions on this subject of such
well known men as Rev. DR.. Park
hurst, Palmer Cox, Bill Nye,
Anthony Comstock, and George
Francis Train, who give their views
in the July number of Demorest's
Family magazine, some of which
are very unique, and all well worth
reading. Ice is an almost indispen-
sable luxury in midsummer; but
how few appreciate the forethought
and enterprise that makes the Ell
.joyment of it possible, or know
how the glittering treasure of the
ice king is wrested from his store
house and boarded for the use of
humanity! ga Day on an Ice Field"
is pleasant and profitable reading;
and the realistic illustrations, from
photographs made specially for the
purpose, show the complete process
of ice gathering. "Ocean Life in
Inland Homes" is a highly interest
ing illustrated article, apropos to
the seashore season, and tells how
to make, stock, and care for an
elbow to Play the
Violin Without Master" is an
other of the series of helpful papers
for which this Magazine is so well
known; there are a number of bright
stories and poem; "Society Fads'
will interest every woman, and so
will ''Bagging a Birthday" The
hOusekeeper will find many excel
lent suggestions in The Arrange
ment of Summer Draperies0;
"Sanitarian" contains somespecially
good ideas in "The Adaptation of
Food to Work"; and the other de-
partments abound with good things
while the illustrations are numerous
and beautiful. Demorest's has a
beautiful new cover for July, but is

A Thrilling Railroad Adventure.

The trainmen of the pay car which
9th of June had an exciting adventure
above the ordinary even in their danger
Gus business, which is SO full of fatal ac-
cidents and hair breadth escapes. When
the train approached Krauss' crossing on
the Harrisville and Nottingham road
which is on the down grade and about
one mile west of Rising Sun, the engineer
saw little child walking on the track
that paid no attention to the signals of
the approaching train. Instant death to
the child was certain unless it could be
got off the track. In this critical emer-
gency fireman Nelson went through the
lookout window and reached the COW
catcher in time to kick the child off of
the track and into the ditch at the side of
the road. A soon as possible the train
was stopped and the men hurried back to
the child who lay more dead than alive
apparently. The child about years old,
was carried into the house which is situat-
ed on the bank ten or twelve feet above,
almost on the road. David Maher oc-
cupies the house, and when the limp child
was taken in, Mrs. Maher, its grand
mother tainted. The child soon recovered
and when the train was stopped on its
return to see how the child was getting
on, to the surprise and qualification of the
men, they found the little one out at play
The mark of the heavy boot of the fire
man was in its forehead. The blow
which had hurled it from death was hard
enough to stun temporarily but fortunate
ly not to permanently injure the baby.
The place is very dangerous spot for
children to reside. This adventure,
though of more than ordinarily thrilling
character was kept remarkably quiet for
several days. Mr.. Nelson the fireman
who showed such presence of mind and
self possession i'll the face danger must be
a man of more than ordinary nerve and
GOODNESS. The railroad business is great
school to educate men to face danger
with GOODNESS, promptness and mistaken
nerves.

EIkton Post Office Robbery.

Monday night Elkton postoffice
was burglarized. An entrance was
forced by prying open a rear
window shutter. The knob of the
safe Gan ordinary fireproof, new
was knocked off, hole was drilled
and the lock inside punched off.
The safe contained silver change,
about 500, and a. few large denomi-
nation stamps, which were taken.
No letters are missing. The post
master keeps his money and stamps
at the bank, so the burglars made
a light haul.
The loss sustained was SOS worth of
stamps, sixteen dollars of which cannot be
used, as they are newspaper stamps and
cannot be used except by post masters.

Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment. Halls

directly on the blood and mucous surfaces

A large delegation of residents OF
East Elkton visited the office of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
Philadelphia in opposition to con
structing the proposed Elkton,

They say the line as surveyed will
spoil the beauty and desirability of
that portion of the town as a place
of residence. They were informed
that the road would probably be
built upon the route as surveyed.

A MISSING PRINCE.
a Berlin Profiigate Leaves His Credit
ors In the Lurch.

BERLIN, Feb. 2-NIIlitary and social cir
cles are discussing a sensation which has
been caused by the complete disappear
ancs of Prince Assiz Hassam, young
Egyptian nobleman, who was serving in
the First dragons, in garrison in this
city. Prince HaSsam, it appears, has been
living in a very eXtravagant style. en-
pioying many servants and having num-
ber of horses and carriages. At the opera.
the theaters and at several clubs, the
young prince was we'll known. and was
much remarked for his stylish appearance
and extreme liberality. On the race
courses Prince Hassam was prominent
figure as he was a heavy bettor and an
unfortunate hacker of fast steeds. Event
nally 1t became rumored that he had been
losing great deal Of money on the races
and in other manners.
Then the prince turned to the usurers
and began borrowing money. They ac-
rommodated him for awhile, but when
his debts amounted to s75 600 they refused
to advance him any more money, and the
prince was driven to his wits end in order
to obtain funds. Things became more
desperate with the prince, and a few days
ago .is horses and carriages and other
effects were seized. The matter was
brought to the attention of the colonel of
IN which to pay his debts or to make some
satisfactory arrangements with his credit
ors. Apparently the prince was unable to
come to terms with his creditors, for il is
now announced that he has vanished from
the sight of all his acqualntances, and that
the most diligent search has failed to find
any trace of him.
Naturally the disappearance of the
prince has given rise to several sensational
reports. According to one story, recog-
nizing that public disgrace was unavoid.
able and that his colonel would soon de-
mand bis withdrawal from the army, the
prince committed suicide in some manner
and in some place unknown. According
TO another story, the price, in despair fled
from Berlin with young lady well known
in theatrical circles, and upon whom the
prince is reported TO have lavished much
money and attention. In any case, the
fact remains that Berlin is discussing the
absence of the prince. and there is much
speculation among his creditors and others
rs 20 his whereabouts.
