Resolutions Endorsing the Action Of
the Legislature in Defeating The
Apportlonment Bills

The following resolutions were un.
animously passed at ameeting of the
Republican County Standing Com
mittee held at Middleburgh, on the
2Sth instant.
WHEREAS, measures were intro
duced into the Legislature, looking
towards the dismemberment of our
Judicial, Congressional and Sona-
torial Districts. and WHEREAS, the
Republicans of Snyder County are
opposed to the reapportioning of
the State rs proposed by the bills
introduced; Therefore be it
RoSoiced, that we thank our
State Senator, Hon. William II.
Hackenberg and our Representative,
Hon. Chas. W. Herman, as well as
all the Senators and Representatives
of the 18th Congressional and 9th
Senatorial District, for their unani-
nous and determined opposition to
the measure, which added so greatly
to the defeat of the bills on the 2lst
inst.
ResOl0ed, that our Representa-
tives and Senators of the 18th Con-
gressional and 27th Senatorial Dis
tricts be urged to use their earnest

A Vulcanizer EKpIodes.

On Monday as DR.. j. w. Orwig
was making II set of teeth his Nul-
canizer exploded causing consider
able damage, though, fortunately no
one was hurt. The Nulcanizer had
been used Il long time and tho
threads had been worn off II great
deal and when the pressure became
very great, the lid was forced of
and thrown up against the ceiling
knocking three holes in the ceiling
and battering the heavy brass lid,
The pressure downward was equally
rs great and crushed the support
beneath. Three large window panes
were broken either from the concus
sion or from the rapid escape of
steam which forced the air out
against the panes and caused them
to give away. The doctor had just
been in his laboratory to examine
the Vulcanizer and walked out when
the explosion occurred that was
heard for nearly square. 1t is ex-
ceedingly fortunate that no one wa s
near as the momentum of the lid,
had it hit any one, would have lai d
the victim in his grave.

Late Literary News.

Rudyard Kipling will shortly re-
turn to India where he will prepare,
for the Cosmopolitan, twelve articles
to appear in the American and Eng
lish editions of that magazine. In
dia is one of the most interesting of
countries, and Mr.. Kipling is able
to write of it as no one else. His
work will be looked forward to with
worldwide expectation.
Perhaps the most beautiful series
of pictures ever presented of the
Rocky mountain will be found in Il
collection of fourteen original paint
ings. executed by Thomas Moran
for the May Cosmopolitan. TO
those who have been III the Rockies,
this issue of the Cosmopolitan will
bea souvenir worthy of preservation.
This number contains iifty-two orig
inal drawings, by Thomas Moran,
Oliver Herford, Dan Beard, II. NJ.

L. Liz, }. II. Dolph, and Rosina En-
nett Sherwood, besides six repro
ductions of famous recent works of
art. and forty other interesting H.
lustrations-ninety-eight in all.
Though the Cosmopolitan sells for
but fifteen cents, probably no maga.
zine in the world will present for
May so great a number of illustra-
tions specially designed for its pages
by famous illustrators. The fiction
in this number is by f. Hopkinson

The above cut represents Abe
Lazy, the original tramp, the man
who served for half n century as n
terror TO women and children and Il
living demonstration that the world
owes every man II living. He is
dead now, died in the insane asylum
at Harrisburg short time ago, not
| that he was insane, but because no
one wanted to care for him any more.
His body was sent as subject for
the dissccting table in Philadelphia
where he probably rendered his first
service to mankind
The picture was taken in Middle
burGh in 1890, in tin type for which
he consented to sit after n consider
able coaxing and a liberal portion of
tobacco from the writer (then edi-
tor of the Middlcburfhs Posr). and
is probably the only one in esis
tence OF the famous old vagabond.
At that time he was living with a
family i'll Richheld, Pa, by the
name of Winey, who had taken pity
on the decropit old vagrant and
furnished him with II home. His
passion for trampinG, however, had
not forsaken him, and although he
was compelled to use two canes,
and his gate was painful and slow
ut best less than mile an hour-he
kept up his nomadic life, almost
rs helpless rs IL child and yet indie
pendent rs II hog on the ice.
He had been against the world
and the world seemed set against
him. He had often felt the sting of
the cGrtwhip welded by the hand of
m indignant parent whose domain
he had invaded and insulted the
family OF destroyed their property
to vent his spleen. He had II
long memory and was as cunning rs
n fox. One merit may be accorded
to him. He never spoke unkindly
of anybody but pretended to have
forgotten the name of every indi-
vidual whom healiudged as having
gotten even with him during his
incessant rambliugs.
Obstinate as IN army mule he
would never do what You requested
of him, and the least offence would
render him sour and sullen. The
picture represents him Just rs we
picked him up from the street.
His pockets were crammed full of
old exchanges which he preferred TO
late magazines and periodicals-for
the simple reason, we presume, be-
cause we had urged him to take the
latter. We insisted upon him tax
ing of his hat, remove his papers
and button his coat 10 have his pic
ture taken. His reply was;
"Y-y-youngoto-l'
Abe Lazy was a character the like
of which we do not think exists. He
was known all over Central Peun.,
as cold Abe Lazy" forty years ago
and no one has ever been able to
learn his age or parentage, but it is
said, although without any known
authority. that his original name
was Lawrence, and that he came
from wealthy family. His depre-
dations in Penns Valley alone would
fill volume, and, if as SHAKESPEARE
says, "the good men do is buried
with their bones" Old Abe Lazy
will not be crowded for room in his
coffin BelleJonte Gazette.

A Complicated Case.

Judge Arnold's court was occupied
with funny complication in garnishee
case, last Saturday. The case was A. G.
Mcneil against A. Y. Ross, in which
the West-Slade Mill Company and Robt.
Wiley were summoned as garnishees.
Attorney Cross represented the plaintiff,
NJ. J. Cochran appeared for Robt Wiley,
and O. II. p. Wiley, with Attorney Nc
Kinlay, was on hand looking out for
Wiley patcr's interest. The case was for
debt, and the plaintiff held an order from
defendant ON Robt. Wiley for money due
him. o. II. p. Wiley also claimed to
have an order on the West-Slade Com
pany for balance due. West wanted to
answer and pay over the money to the
court, Cochran didn't want him to, Nc
Kinlay did, but Wiley, pater, was in
clined to take Cochran's view Of the
matter and conduct his own case upon
that basis, although he was not in court.
After considerable pulling and hauling
the Judge allowed West to answer and
pay over the money; but the funny thing
was that with three Populist defendants,
and three lawyers, there vas not Popu-
list lawyer in the crowd.
