During the month OF March the
State Department issued on unusually
large number of charters for thai time
of the year. The indications show
a revival of business and a frmer
confidence among manufacturers, as
the greater number of charters, fully
fifteen per cent, were issued to manu-
featuring concerns. Aside from those
issued in March, numbering seventy
hve, there are at least thirty other
applications on file, which have not
yet been granted because of protests
entered against them. Ninety licenses
were issued also to foreign corpora

New Pension Decision.
Assistant Secretary Reyoolds Reyerses a
Ruling o! the Last Administration.

Rulings Of the last administration
are reversed in a decision rendered
last week by Assistant Secretary of
the Interior Reynolds in a pension
case having hearing favorable to a
large number of claims now on file.
The ruling holds that where widow
and minor children under sixteen
years of age survive a soldier the
children may, after attaining the age
of sixteen, and where the death of the
mother occurs, thereafter, without
payment to her of any part of the
pension, apply in their own right and
receive the same pension as the father
would have been entitled TO had he
been totally disabled. The pension
is to commence from the date of his
death and 10 continue until they re-
spectively arrived at the age of six-
teen years.
This holding entities those whose
rights to apply did not accrue until
after they had passed their sixteenth
year, to be pensioned as though their
rights had accrued while under the
age of sixteen, as held by the depart
ment a year ago, and hence not sub
ject to any litigation.

SHE WAS CONTRARY.
Couldn't Understand Why the Train Had
the Preference.

As though inviting death a young
and well dressed woman walked up
the Lehigh Valley Railroad tracks
between the Luke Fidler colliery and
Lancaster Switch Saturday evening,
paying no attention to the train that
left here at 6:3o O'Clock, and which
was laundering up behind her. The
engineer blew the whistle and the
fireman rang the bell, but the woman
walked calmly on. When the engine
got within a few feet Of her it was
stopped and the fireman getting of,
politely asked the woman to kindly
step from the track and let the train
pass, but she had no desire to get out
of harms way and paid no attention
TO him. The fireman then Just as
gently and considerably as the deed
could be done pulled the contrary
one from the ties and then climbed
on the engine again. The train pro-
ceeded, leaving an irate female behind.
She could not understand why the
train should have the right of way
when she wanted to utilize the track.

LAW BY TELEPH HONE.
The Judge in PottsvilIe, the Lawyer in
Harrisburg.

Here is a telephone story which
illustrates the age of progress in which
we are living, says the Shamokin
DiSbatch. Last week Charles H.
Berger, Esq, sat in his office
in Harrisburg, when there came a
summons for him to attend tele-
phone call. He went to the phone.
At the other end of the line in Potts
vile was Judge Savidge, who was
holding court there. 1t seems that
in 1889 Judge Savidge had heard Mr..
Berger argue case in the Supreme
Court, in which he referred to a Ger
tain case in support of his argument
In a case on trial before him yester-
day morning Judge Savidge wanted
to refer to that case, but he could not
remember it. He ordered a recess to
be taken, went to the telephone,
called up Mr. Berger in Harrisburg,
asked him for the name of the case
and where it could be found, which
information was given him, and in
five minutes the Court was again do
ing business. If that wasn't dispatch
lag business on up to date principles,
then we loose our guess.

Deemer Beidleman, editor and pro-
prietor Of the Shickshinny Dsmo5rak
is candidate for County Commis-
sioner of Luzerne county. He is we
known in this county, and has many
friends who wish him success in his
political venture. The following is
his announcement as it appears in his
paper:
We-Deemer Beidleman, if you
please-are in it. Want the Demo
cratic nomination for County Commis-
sioner, and will do all we can to get
it. No time to bluff, and nothing
mean to say about the other fellows.
Why the desire? Because we believe
we could fill the bill, and there's
good salary attached-we need the
salary. Any man who has the grit
and pluck to publish a Democratic
paper in town like Shickshinny, is
deserving. (Cries of here, here, and
continued applause from the gallery.)
While we must confess there are those
who say they are willing to bleed and
die for the Jacksonian party, we will
not We simply want to draw breath
and salary. (Huzzah from the bald
headed row. Modestly, however, it
is the opinion of many that the edi-
torial 'we" should be recognized for
services rendered. The 'we" thinks
likewise. During the past 4 years the
Dem0eyaf has been true to its party,
and cheerfully, unfalteringly supported
its candidates. When they went down
we went down with them. From our
meagre store the last crust was divided.
Outside the newspaper efforts, every
Democratic nominee will bear testi-
mopy of our readiness to accompany
them through the district and county,
and in performing such other allotted
work uncomplainingly, without any
reimbursement Then, too, there
were the cold rooms, damp beds and
cold lunch. -Four years experience
of this kind should fit a man for any
thing. Let us have it. Many othe
things, wise and otherwise, might b,
said of us, but we modestly forbear
and leave that for our friends an,
enemies to discuss. In conclusion
we mean business. Thanks for you
generous space and kind attention.

TIE Races Of Mankind.

The u races inhabiting ;he world
communicate with each other in
1904 different tongues, and confess
70 about 900 religions. The num-
Der Of men and women is very nearly
equal, the average longevity Of both
sexes being only 38 years, about one
third Of the population dying before
the age Of II. Moreover, according
to the most careful computation, only
one person in 10000 Of both sexes
attains the age Of 100 years, and only
SIX 10 seven in 100 the age Of 90.
The total population Of the earth IS
estimated at 1900, 900, 900 souls Of
whom 3z,7I4ooo die annually. G.,
an average Of 98,848 a day, 4,o2o an
hour, 81 in a minute. The annual
number Of births, on the other hand,
is estimated at 36,792,ooo-L e, an
average Of 100, 800 day, 4,7oo an
hour, and 10 minute.
Generally, taking the entire world,
married people live longer than
single, and those who have to work
hard for their living longer than those
who do not, while also the average
rate Of longevity is higher among
civilized than uncivilized races.
Further, people Of large physique live
longer than those Of small, but those
OF middle size beat both.

Wanted His Money Back.

The maddest man in the state re-
sides in neighboring city. One
evening last week he attended a social
given at a private residence, and dur
ing the evening the ladies inaugurated
a huggng bee, the proceeds to 90 to
the church. Prices were graded ac-
cording to the person hugged. For
instance, for hugging a young, mex
perienced girl, you had to give up ten
cents; married women brought fifteen
cents, and widows a quarter. Old
maids came two in a bunch for three
cents. Well, our friend was blind
folded and giving up fifteen cents said
he would take a married woman.
After he had hugged fifteen cents
worth, the bandage was removed from
his eyes, and 10 and behold, he had
been hugging his own wife. Then he
wanted his fifteen cents back.

Hope It'll Prove True.

If the old fashioned weather proph-
cts prove true, the coming summer
will see most prolific yield of fruit.
According to popular theory, if the
sun shines bright on ST. Patrick's day,
as it did last time, there is invariably
a large harvest Of fruit in that locality,
and people who have watched and
noted the conditions in a period OF
fifty years say it holds good. 1t is to
be hoped SO, for a good fruit crop,
whatever else goes wrong, usually
means fair amount of prosperity.

DR.. Talmage as an Explorer,

Nearly two years ago Rev. DR.. Tai
mage, the celebrated preacher and
lecturer, started on his now famous
tour Of the world, for the purpose, as
he declared at the time, Of studying
all the religious beliefs of the different
races Of mankind, and if he could find
a better one than Christianity, en-
bracing it, This was a startling dec.
laration to begin with, and his dlscov-
cries and revelations appear TO be
none the less startling. In fact the
Doctor has added to his reputation as
the greatest living religious orator,
that Of famous explorer as well.
His discoveries and adventures are
fully as interesting as those Of Stanley
or Livingstone, and equally as valua-
bic, because they relate to different
races of people and other parts Of the
world, and throw a wonderful light
upon the most important subjects that
come within range of mans inyestiga-
ton.
His route led him first across the
continent from New York to San
Francisco, thence to Samoa and the
Sandwich Islands, the islands ofthe
Pacific, Australia, Borneo, India with
all its wonders and mysteries, Egypt
and up the Nile to the borders of
ancient Ethiopia, Syria, Palestine,
over St. Paups Mediterranean Sea
voyage, Greece, Italy, Spain, Europe,
the British Isles, Russia, and across
the Atlantic to the place Of starting.
Throughout this tremendous jour
ney he was accompanied by his sec
retary and well supplied with the most
approved Photographic apparatus, by
which means he was enabled to de
scribe and photograph the people,
scenery, historical places, and other
subjects Of universal interest at the
time and as he saw them. His new
book, giving an account Of his travels,
adventures, Investigations and discov-
cries mas just Deen published, under
the appropriate title of "The Earth
Girdled," and the author declares, in
an autograph letter to his publisher,
that he considers it the most vigorous
work Of his life. 1t is illustrated with
over 400 Photographic views, the most
curious and wonderful, doubtless, that
ever appeared in book. Eight of
these photographs have been repro
duced in natural colors, which add
greatly to their interest and beauty.
"The Earth Girdled" will be circu
lated exclusively by means of canvass
ers, and it certainly affords an extra
ordinary opportunity to all who desire
paying employment. See publishers
announcement in another column of
this paper. 1t.
