Paris. Wonderful is the progress that has

"And whom does he ents
"Mostly mon from the otl

The entertainer of railway company
q we'll spoken man, who knows just wha
to say and when to say it. He takes ths(
visiting capitalist in hand, introduces him
to the right people and sees that he does
not fall in with the wrong people. Per
haps he sees that the stranger. Is made
comfortable at some good club or even in
vited to fashionable houses, although the
entertainer does not make use unnecessa-
rily of what is known as society In further
ing his ends. There are still some rich
Britons who hope to be richer through
transactions in American stocks, bonds
and mortgages. There are some amazing
ly green foreigners who have visions OF
sudden wealth to be had In such transac-
tions. For the most part, however, the
visiting foreign capitalist Is In search OF
Investments that will pay higher divi-
dends than investments at home. 1t Is the
business of the entertainer to make such
men see his road as the managers wish 1t
to be seen. The task Is delicate one, for
the visiting capitalist is often shy and sus.
picious. Being a great man at home, he
would resent palpsble attempt to manip-
ulate him. If he is to see the right people
and be kept away from the wrong people,
the machinery that compasses all this
must be kept out of view. d..
The entertainer comes out in great form
when he sends party Of capitalists on
tour Of inspection over the road. Some
such tours are historic, and when their
history comes to be written 1t will be
found vastly more entertaining than the
list of distinguished guests given to the
press through the agency of the entertain
er. That shrewd person sees that the trip
is embellished with all the luxuries of the
table, solid and liquid, that the right men
encounter the visitors at the right places,
and that the proper statistics are thrown
in the way of the strangers. There are
great many clever persons employed in
managing railway system, and consider
able sums are expended by every company
for lubricating oil to keep engines and
other machinery in order, but there is no
cleverer person and no more efficient lu-
bricator than the entertainer. 1t has been
said that he could not stand the test for
moral color blindness, but doubtless this
Is an invention.-New York Sun.

TIE SUPREME COURT DECIDES
That Clubs Nay Sell Liquors, but Only
to Members.

In the case of Klein VS.. the Livingston
club, an organization of good standing
and limited membership in Allentown.
owning a building and grounds which
cost $4,000, the decision recites the reso-
luton adopted by the Governing commit
tee instructing the steward to lay in a
stock of liquors to be sold to members Of
the club, and the prayer of the plaintiff
for an injunction restraining the steward
and governors from carrying out the res
oluticn.
The only question, the Court says, is
whether the act when committed would
be sale of liquor. There is nothing in
the Brooks law prohibiting the use of IL
quor in clubs. In the act in question
there is no element of a bargain, only n
method of distribution of the com mon
property,
The Court then reviews the authorities,
and finds they incline to the doctrine
that il is no sale. Judge Dean concludes:
1T has been argued that the effect of
our decision, if against plaintiff, will be
to deprive the licensed hotels of patron
age to which they are implicitly entitled,
by payment of heavy license fees, under
the Brooks law; that members of clubs
will consume such liquors as they desire
in their club rooms, instead of at licensed
bars. This is not without force, but it
should be addressed to the Legisl iture,
who seem, for fifty years in all the legis-
lation on the liquor question, to have
carefully RETAINED from prohibiting the
furnishing of liquor TO club members by
their clubs, as well as neglected to impose
on them license fees''

As briefly mentioned last week DR.. S.
:. Good expired at the Market n Sana-
torium at eight o'clock Tuesday evening,
October eth, whittier be had gone from
his home in Meyersdale two weeks be-
fore for professional treatment. Death
resulted from cancer of the stomach,
from which fatal malady be had been al
most life long sufferer. DIR. Good was
a son of the late Jacob Good, of Somer-
set township. After receiving such edu-
cstional advantages as the schools of the
county afforded he entered the office Of
the late DIR. 4 1. NJ. Kimmel, of Somerset,
whore he pursued his studies for three
YEAR, at the end of which he graduated
from the Jefferson Medical College. in
Philadelphia For a number OF years
after graduating he practiced his profess
sion in this place with marked success.
In 1873 he removed To Meyersdaie
where he at once took prominent posi-
ton in professional circles aud acquired
a lucrative practice. In addition to his
professional duties DIR. Good devoted
much of his time to the duties of citizen
ship. He was interested in the public
school system and did much to advance
the cause of education in this county.
He also took an active part in State, Coun-
ty and Municipal politics, and a few years
ago was candidate for the. Legislature
on the Republican ticket. The DIR. was
about fifiy-two years of age and was un-
married. A short time before his death
he made will in which he beqneathed
most of his property to a Miss Dill. who
is employed rs a teacher in the Drexel
Institute, Philadelphia. The funeral took
place at Meyersdale, Thursday afternoon.

The fastest time ever made on theS SOM
erset q Cambria Railroad was reeled OFF
by a wild gondola car Monday afternoon.
shortly after the sOuth-bognd passenger
train passed the Cambria Iron Company's
sand crasher, one mile south of town, the
workmen undertook TO shift gondola
loaded with sand to point on the side
track where it could conveniently be
moved by a local freight train. The car
was started all right but when it came to
stopping it the brake chain broke and
away it went. 4 plank was thrown in
ront Of the ear in order to check its speed
but the wheels cut through the plank as
though il had been made of mush. The
switch had not been placed in position to
receive the wheels, but the runaway car
did not mind that, and lightly leaped
from the side track on to the main track
aud was soon out of the sight Ofthe fright
ened employees of the sand crusher. The
grade between there and Milford is very
steep and the runaway car dashed down
il at frightfnl speed. Below Milford there
is a stretch up grade and further on there
are two or three slight similar stretches.
With the momentum the car had obtain
ed it climed these elevations without
effort and run into the lockwood yard
under sufficient headway to bump the
bulkhead off freight caT standing in its
way and to displace o:.e of its own heavy
trucks. The passenger train reached
R0ckwood only two or three minutes be-
fore the runaway ear. II is estimated that
the car covered the nine miles between
the sand crusher and lockwood in nine
minutes.

The Commonwealths' Share Of Registers
Fees.

Justice Sterrett of the Supreme Court
in session at Plttsburg Monday handed
down an opinion that is of interest TO
many counties in Pennsylvania. 1t was
in reference to the case of the Common
wealth against David II. Anders on, for
merly Register and Recorder of Fayette
county. In his opinion Justice Sterrett
said in part:
This case came into the court below on
the defendants appeal against the Aud
itor Generals $, ttlement against him for
50 per cent. of the excess of fees collected
by him in his several capacities as Re
corder of Deeds, Register of Wills and
Clerks of the Orphans Court of Fayetto
county, aud by agreement it was tried
without jury under the provisions ofthe
act OF 1874
1.-THE defendants accounts had been ex-
aminei and passed upon by an Auditor,
whose report, filed with the Auditor
General, formed The basis of the settle
ment from which this appeal was taken.
In that report allowance was made for
only one salary of 1900. Deducting that
together with clerk hire and Office ex-
penses from the gross amount of fees col
lected, leaves the excess of fees S2,5il.7S.
A further deduction of 80 per cent. from
this latter sum gives 81 l,270.S5 as the bal
ance due by the defendant To the Com
monwealth on account of tax fees For
that sum, together with interest and At
torney Generals commission, judgment
was entered against the defendant by the
court below.
This appears TO have been fully war
ranted by the law and the facts of the
case, as they appear in the opinion of the
trial judge. There is no merit in either
of the technical positions taken by the
defendant: and in so far at least rs the
offices in queation are concerned, there
appears to be no good reason for assaiiing
the act of 1874. The correctness in favor
of the judgment of the Commonwealth
is so fully vindicated in the opinion re-
ferred to that further discussion of the
question involved appears to be unneces-
sary. The judgment of the lower court
is therefore affirmed

Judge Stewart, of Franklin county, has
rendered an opinion in ease brought by
a constable against the county commits
Sioners To recover the amount Of bill
rendered for service under the Act of
May %. 1895. The constable wanted TO
be allowed costs for making his quarter
IL return to court and also for mileage.
The commissioners refused 10 pay the
bill. The judges of the courts of Dau-
phin. Cleariield and other counties have
already refused TO allow any fees for
quarterly returns, and some courts have
refused to order pay for mileage. Judge
Stewart says the matter of making the
quarterly returns is something inciden-
tai 10 the duties of the office and must be
performed without cost. The mileage is
not to be circular, but straight in one di-
rection.

Poor Mans Money"

Tha, bluff old soldier of the Confeder-
acy, General Longstreet, like Generals
Howard and Sickles, of the Union army.
is making speeches in behalf of McKin-
ley and honest money.
In speech at Augusta, Georgia, on
Saturday night General Longstreet re-
minded his hearers that although Lee,
Jackson and Johnston and their armies
could hold all the forces of the Union at
bay for four years, they could not give
value to the poor mans money" with
which the Confederate soldier was paid,
and what they could not do he does not
believe that Bryan can do.
General Longstreet might have re-
minded his hearers also that the Union
greenback was only worth forty cents on
the dollar measured in products, and that
even the success of the American Revo-
luton could not give value to the Conti-
mental currency, the poor mans money
of that early date. A similar result fol-
lowed somewhat later attempt of the
people and government of France to
make the country rich with an abund-
ance of poor mans money" The
trouble with that kind of money is that
the more plentiful it becomes the poorer
holders grow.-Philadelph Record.
