The winter grain does not promise
much of harvest. Now and then
good piece of rye greets the eye

The new woman can never get a

Warm feet and cool heads are all

mer Excursion Route Book.
The Most Complete Publication Of its Kind.

The Passenger Department Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, on
June I, published its annual Summer
Excursion Route Book. This work,
which is compiled with the utmost
care and exactness, is designed to
provide the public with short descrip-
tive notes of the principal Summer
resorts of Eastern America, with the
routes for reaching them, and the
rates of fare. There are over four
hundred resorts IN the book to which
rates are quoted, and over fifteen
hundred different ways of reaching
them, or combinations Vi routes are
set out in detail. The book is the
most complete and comprehensive
handbook of summer travel ever Of
fered to the public.
Its ais pages are inclosed in a
handsome and striking cover, in col
ors. Several maps, presenting the
exact routes over which tickets are
sold, are bound in the book. 1t is
also profusely Illustrated with fine
halftone cuts Of scenery along the
lines Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and elsewhere.
Any doubt as to where the summer
should be passed will be dispelled
after a careful examination of the con-
tents Of this publication.
On and after June it may be pro-
cured at any Pennsylvania Railroad
ticket Office at the nominal price of
ten cents, or, upon application to the
general Office, Broad Street Station,
by mail for twenty cents.

The OSar.

The coronation of the Car has alb
sorbed the attention of the world for
some days, and certainly the spectacle
with its accompanying circumstances
is well worthy the notice of mankind.
According to all accounts the corona
ton has surpassed the dreams of the
poet In all its barbaric splendor.
Millions Of dollars have been expend-
cd that nothing might be lacking to
the impressiveness and brilliancy of
the event. Aside from this the posi-
ton of the Gar as the autocratic
ruler OF almost one hundred millions
OF people, widely scattered, and of
diverse races, with the surging discon-
tent of nihilism beneath the surface,
makes the situation doubly interesting.
1t is recognized that at any moment
the caprice of the policy of the Car
may plunge Europe into war. The
Russians themselves appreciate the
leading part assigned them in the
drama. The correspondents at Mos
COW unanimously report the discovery
that the Russians think they are a
match tor all western Europe without
any allies. Nor is this merely a mat
ter OF curious interest; there is with it
feeling that the time is not far dis
tant when their belief in this will be
put to the test. The nihilists are said
to be IN state of armed neutrality
awaiting the revelation of the policy
OF the Car subsequent to his corona
tlon. There are the usual stories of
the reforms, amnesties and Liberties to
be granted after the coronation, but
there is a reasonable doubt of the full
hilment Of these expectations. The
one thing perhaps of most personal
interest to Americans has been the
effect made by the simple dignity and
PLAIN costume of the Ambassadors of
the United States as contrasted with
the gorgeous paraphernalia of other
countries. The comparison made by
the correspondents is usually with
France, and the United States loses
nothing in the comparison.

1t is rather cheeky to ask the Legis,

which were to be borne by the Phila.
Municipal Reform League. The
committee was simply a Quay annex,
to be used to scare or castigate some
OF the Philadelphians and Pittsburgers
VINO were not in line with the boss.
The committee was forced for its own
welfare TO abandon its so-called inves-
legations, and the Philadelphia people
who wanted reform naturally aban-
doned the committee. Probably Quay
can induce his Reform Legislature to
pay the bill.

The Gar is no doubt undisturbed by

pageant of such grandeur in a country
where millions of peasants are dying
of starvation. The people of America
may be glad that they do not live in
country where such display of in
humanity is possible.

HoRsELEss CARRIAGE.

During this period Of progressive
science, one Of the most Interesting pro-
blems that is being worked out, is the
horselcss carriage. The other day we
heard story which set US thinking.
We will tell the little story and tell what
we think.
The last Sunday Of March ono Of
Steele County's prominent officials hired
team of horses and rig Of A. r. Drake.
Icy to drive a couple Of ladies into the
country. On their return, one of tho
horses began to tremble and fell down.
The driver succeeded in getting the
horse to regain his feet and all went well
until within about mile of Sherbrooke.
when the horse fell again. This time the
driver freed the horse from his duty and
took the place himself. Upon inquiry
we learn that by holding one end Of the
doublotree in certain position the other
horse drew the rig alone.
We think as follows: The ehavalry Of
the gentlemen waa admirable. II by
holding one end Of doubletree in a cor,
tain position the horse had to draw the
rig. Now if both ends Of the doubletree
were held in tho same position, VIII,
wouldn't the rig go itself and solve the
problem Of the Forseless Carriage:

BURN Ed OUT.

just before noon on Tuesday, A. r

this place, lost his house and most Of the
contents, by fire. Mr.. Baker was away
to town at the time. Henry Palfrey
while on his way to town and while
passing Mr.. Bakers PLACE noticed the
building was an tire and he turned in to
help, but, the day being very windy, ii
was only few minutes until all was
envelopcd in flames. Nearly everything
was lost. The fire is supposed to have
originated from a defective chimney or
stoyepipe. 1t is a serious loss for Mr..
Baker to be burned out Just at tho ap.
proauh Of seeding and it is serious loss
to DO burned out at any time, especially
when there is no insurance as it was in
Mr.. Bakers case.
