The reunion of the pupils of the South Berkshire Institute at New Marl- boro. Mass, June 12, was all that could be desired. About 150 former pupils were present, 70 being heard from by letter. Promptly at 4 o'clock the bell, which has hung silent for the past Il years, called the pupils together and a business meeting was held, in which it was voted to meet again in two years. A committee was appointed, consisting of the following: T. B. Hallock, of Winsted, pres; E. D. Hammond, of Monterey, Mass, seo'y; c. A. Stevens, of Hartsville, Mass, treas.

POLITICAL POINTS,

Florida within ten days.
William Dawson's position as doorkeep-
er Of the senate Is worth 50 per day while
the session lasts.
The Pottsville Miners Journal doesn't
think much of the Scranton gubernatorial
boom for the reason that "Mr. Scranton is
more than seven" Others thought this,
too, prior to last Monday.
The, position of reading clerk is worth
S1,SOO for the session to James E. Wat
kins. In the event of special or
extraordinary session, his pay would be
$40 day additional. The mileage allow
ance Is 10 cents per mile.
Carbondale Herald: "The Indications
now point to the election of Homer Greene
as congressman from the Wayne -Susque-
hanna district. Mr.. Greene Is one Of the
most talented gentlemen In our section of
Pennsylvania, and his many admirers, of
whatever political creed, will be pleased
that he has received political honors. II
more men of his caliber were to interest
themselves In the work Of conducting the
government, the result would be q higher
regard for our public servants In general"

For Better Statutes,

The Philadelphia Ledger voices a
general sentiment when it asserts that
some method should be invented for
the more speedy publication of the new
laws passed at each session of the state
Legislature" In New York state, where
special legislation obtains, the laws re-
lating to each community are adver-
tised in designated newspapers at the
states expense. This plan would prob
ably cost too much in Pennsylvania,
where legislation in the main is general
In it's application. But it ought TO be
possible, without material extra eE-
pense, to bring the various acts o. each
session together in convenient form
within a month subsequent to adjourn
ment. At present year is very likely
to intervene, during which time the
public Is compelled to remain in ignor-
ance of the law.
A cognate reform has been suggested
in the call recently issued for the or
ganization at Harrisburg of a State
Bar association. In this call attention Is
directed to the prevalence in the legisla-
ture of bills which, while proper enough
in intention, often defeat their own
purpose through careless phraseology.
We do not have to search far for an
example of this type Of legislation. One
is fresh in mind in the case of the Kline
law creating the Office of county con-
troller in counties having 10000 or
more population--a bill excellent In mo-
tive, but rendered imperative because
through curious oversight 1t neg
lected to terminate the superseded Of
fee of the county auditors. Those who
are at the back Of the movement for a
State Bar association cite among the
advantages of such an organization the
fact that 1t would enable the lawyers
of the state to more effectually cooper
ate with the law makers, not In dictat-
Ing the subject-matter of future legis-
lation but In lending symmetry and
uniformity to the form of the statutes.
1t would please majority of laymen
IL to these two improvements third
one could be added, In the form of q
general simplification of the phrase
ology of the statutes. Perhaps the
principal reason why the masses do not
keep better informed as to tho new leg
istion enacted by our general assem-

The Progress of nedical Science.

The introduction of anti-toXin into
the curative processes of this communi-
ty is an experiment which must prove
its own value. In other places, under
careful supervision, this recent addi-
tion to the worlds list of inoculative
medicines has demonstrated that 1t can
greatly reduce the ravages Of diph-
theria What has been done elsewhere
ought to be equally possible in Scran-
ton, among physicians of established
and widely-recognized skill, The test,
therefore, will be awaited with keen
anxiety by those who realize the i'm
portance of immunity from this terri
BILE contagdon.
1t will interest those who have not
paid much attention to recent changes
in the science of medicine TO call their
attention to the considerable impetus
which the successful application of the
serum Of infected animals to the in
oculat!on of the human body is giving
to the comparatively new germ theory
of disease. Ten years ago few persons
outside the laboratories of learned
specialists believed that many, If not
all the ailments, from which humanity
suffers, are nothing less than the work Of
minute parasites which prey upon the
human body, deriving life at the eX-
pense of life. Today this theory is so
generally accepted that the statement
of 1t is almost superfluous except as in
dicating the rapidity of a widespread
recent mental revolution. When an orr
ginal investigator like Professor Coles,
of Kingston, brings to sciences aid
an optical apparatus which shows us,
in pulsating and vivid activity, the
very animalculae which throng our
epidermis or mot inside the corpuscles
of olur blood and brings the germ theo-
ry of disease from a kind of abstract
hypothesis down to a demonstrated and
shocking fact, those persons are i'll
informed who regard his work with in
creduiity, for it is simply a logical eX-
tension of now universally conceded
tenet Of physiological science.
The line of reasoning which presup-
poses that if smallpox can be avoided
through the toXical instrumentality of
vaccine; tuberculosis greatly lessened
by the counteracting effects of vital
lymph; dipsomania checked by the use
Of gold bichloride, and diphtheria
averted through the agency of anti
toxin 1t will be equally possible in the
course of time, to work out new solu-
tions to other kindred or correspond
ingly virulent diseases is sound in logic
and perfectly natural. Men are now
alive who will live to see new empires
conquered in the domain of medical
science along this very line. The dis
eases which confounded our fathers are
already simple to us. The ailments
which we cannot battle will undoubted-
ly be unfolded before the searching in
quiry OF posterity. Yet death will. after
all, beat science at the milepost, and
humanity in the aggregate will be how
much better off?

PROMPT Publication of Laws.

Philadelphia Ledger: 'In former days,
when special legislation was the vogue,
the pamphlet laws were very voluminous,
and there was some excuse for their tardy
appearance. The new constitution
worked a change. The acts of assembly
for a single session are now contained in
a. volume of small size, which could
readily be published in a short time. The
volumes are, however, gradually growing
larger. In 1879 the laws passed, with the
list of charters granted, filled book of
253 pages. In the session of 1893 the laws
and titles of charters covered S1S pages,
the laws themselves requiring 5lS pages.
If the experience Of the past two years is
to be repeated, the present legislature
will give us a larger output of new legis-
lation. This should be accessible to the
public in its completed form as soon as
possible"

The call for mass meeting of citi-
zens to protest against the slaughter of
the descendants of the Armenian Chris
tians by Turkish brigands or Kurdish
outlaws will doubtless be criticized by
some persons because Of the distance
separating Scranton from the scene of
the protested atrocities. 1t Is to be re-
membered, however, that all civiliza-
ton is concerned in this problem. The
question at issue is fundamental and
vital to Christian people everywhere.

Care of the lndigcnt Insane.

Philadelphia Press: ''The question of

The Tax Receipt Abuse.

lHS NSScApt
Pittsburg Commercial-GaZette: "Sena-
tor Brown has introduced IL bill at Har-
rlsburg making 1t penal offense for any
committee or member of n political COM
mittee, or any candidate for public office,
to pay state and county taxes for voters.
This strikes at Il custom which has pre-
vailed TO Il greater or less extent all over
the state. and which has become a fla
grant abuse in the larger cities. This l.,
not only Il corrupting practice as regards
the low estimate which 1t places upon the
privileges of citizenship, but 1t is in the
nature of bribe offered to the voter.
There are conditions under which 1t Is
not only proper but commendable for a
person to pay the delinquent taxes of a
fri0nd or acquaintance, but the wholesale
purchase Of tax receipts by political COM
mittees for the purpose of catching votes
Is violation of the spirit of the election
laws, and ought to be severely punished.
The bill above referred to provides PEN
atty OF $50 for each Offense, summary jur-
isdiction being given to magistrates, al
dermen and justices Of the peace. In case
of refusal to pay the fine the person ad-
judged guilty Is to be imprisoned in the
county Jail one day for each fine i'm
posed. When it is known that tax re-
ceipts are obtained by the thousand in
this way at every important election the
necessity for some stringent legislation on
the subject is apparent"
