WHILE the financial question seems to
be the one of absorbing interest, the
people should not become SO wrapped
up in it as to entirely lose sight of other
things. This is a great country and
money-making should not be our high
est ambition. Emerson says the best
test of civilization depends upon the
kind OF men the country turns out, indi-
eating that there is something better
after all, than the acquisition OF wealth.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced 1t
local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment Halls

his cabinet asked many questions of
the two chairmen, but could not i'm
prove the outlook. Governor Hastings
now has officers at work seeing II they
cannot figure out an increased revenue
for the next two years. He is extreme
ly anxious to aid charitable institutions.
The state board of charities has figured
out that it will need $1,000, 200. Owing
to financial depression the state income
has been reduced $4,000, 900 for the two
years.
Demand Exceeds Supply.

We're S22, LAG, 73346. Charity received So,
O00 900 of this sum. The various sub
committee have not yet made their re-
port This makes 1t impossible to
figure out just what state aid Is to be
given. Chairman Fruit will soon send
out his subcommittee. The chairmen
will do the best they can with the
money on hand. Mr.. Marshall is OF the
opinion that it would be folly to Issue
bonds to pay appropriations.
Secretary Biddle, Of the state board
Of charities, expects to be made chief
of the bureau Of charities and correc-
tion If the. Marshall bill is passed. He
says the board Of charities has to make
Its estimates in November. The rev.
enues Of the state are not known at that
time it and cannot be told what other
appropriations will be asked for. I'VE
did not know" said Secretary Biddle,
that 1000, 900 would be asked for the
Improvement of roads or $4,000 to
deepen the Delaware. The S5OO,OOO re-
quest of the University of Pennsyl-
vania was not looked for at that time.
Hard times have cut down the revenues
of charitable institutions and they are
in need Of more money this year than
usual The Packer hospitable at Beth

left the institution considerable money
and it was invested in Lehigh Valley

cate still prevent exports of gold, and
Withdrawals from the treasury have Of
late practically ceased. There is not
much enthusiasm about the situation,
however, because the gain is slow, and
business is yet a long way from what
was once considered a prosperous con-
dition. Further, the gain is in some
cases due to obviously temporary
causes which to not make prosperity.

lie Believes That the Devil Is Just as Sup

Apples in the Garden
of Eden.

Philadelphia, March 15.-The question
OF woman's equality with men was in
jected into the meeting of the Laymen's
association of the Philadelphia confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church
liberations of that usually staid body
more resembled a political convention
than a church meeting.
| The discussion arose from the effort
that has been made annually for some
years to admit women as delegates to
the laymen's conference. When the
meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent John E. James, NJ D., the creden-
tials of six women were presented as
delegates from some Philadelphia
churches. The president promptly
ruled that under the action of the con-
vention last year women could not be
admitted as delegates.
This precipitated the stormy discus
sion which followed, and an appeal was
taken from the decision of the presi-
dent, but the appeal was not sustained.
Not to be beaten. the advocates of the
women succeeded in having the com
mittee on credentials report in favor of
| seating the six women, but the confer
ence refused to admit them neverthe-
less. a resolution giving the women
the right of the floor was carried.
The discussion waXed warm on both
sides, and the advocates for and against
women indulged in an excited debate.
j. II. Fisher, of Pottsville, was particu-
larly worked up about the threatened
invasion of the women. He walked up
and down the aisle while he was speak
ing and eXcitedly swung his arms, as
in disjointed sentences he inveighed
against women delegates as follows II

NEW GOLD DISCOVERIES.

ifornia Shores OF Pacific Profitable.

San Francisco, March 15.-Gold min
ing is being carried on almost within
the corporate limits of San Francisco.
On the beach three miles south of the
Cliff house, an old squatter has for
years toiled with shovel and pick, eking
out scanty living by extracting gold
from the deposits on the shores by the
currents and tides.
Experienced miners have frequently
asserted that the entire coast from
Alaska to Cape Horn is full of free gold,
but that its successful amalgamation
was the sole obstacle to work It. Sey-
eral weeks ago a newly invented ANAL
gamator was employed by company
organized for the purpose, and as q
result of 10 days labor three chunks
or amalgam are now at the United
States mint, from which a value of
from $1,000 to $1,000 is expected to be
developed.
-Four men are required for each ANAL
gamator. A machine will run from 20
to 20 tons of sand per day, the net
profit being estimated at $3.50 per ton.

sand exists Is now considered as good

OUTRAGE AT HAZLETON.
Masked Robbers Attempt to Murder q
Priest

Hazleton, Pa, March ia desperate
attempt to murder and rob the Greek
Catholic priest, Rev. Galovich, at Free
land, was made last night. His house
keeper Mrs. Lehatog, and her COM
panion, Mrs. Zacharias, We're each
beaten into insensbility. The safe in
the priests house was dynamited, but
the attacking party was frightened Off
by the people who, attracted by the
noise Of the explosion rushed to the
scene. Both vestibule doors were bat
tered down. The priest made des-
perate fight for his life. He escaped
with a few slight wounds. Revolvers
We're used freely and the doors and
walls were perforated with bullets.
There is belief that there is re-
ligious feeling behind the attack and
the dynamiting of the safe merely a
bluff to divert suspicion. The men were
all masked.
