News of the death of Rev. J. u.
Davis, formerly pastor of the Meth
odist Episcopal church in Mehoopany
was recently in circulation. Rev. Mr..
Davis was on his way to his new

erinary surgeon, is laid up with a bad
ly spraired knee. The doctor. in COM
pany with DIR. James Deubler, was
out driving in the vicinity of Lake
Carey recently, when one of the braces

done.
The Record predicts that there will
be no fight in Luzerne county between
the factions known as the Combine
and the anti-Combine for the delegates
to the next Reublican state Conven-
tion. Also that the delegates will rep
resent what is known as the anti
Combine faction. The party leaders of
both factions shrink from the thought
of having a recurrence of the memoir
able Quay Hastings fight of 1895. 1T
is fact" adds the Record, that most
of the party leaders at this time are
on the Quay side of the fence, includ-
ing those who were the most aggres-
sive opponents of the senator at that
time"

THE DEVIL IN INK.
DIR. Martyr Thinks That Satan Creeps
Into Public Print.


"The Devil in Ink" was the theme
Of Dr. Carlos Martyrs lecture in the
Third United Presbyterian church last
night, says the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette. DR.. Martyr said:
"Since this is the age of printers ink,
the devil has immersed himself in the
ink bottle. Certain newspapers are
examples of this. The paper is white,
but the ink is black in more senses
than one. Notice the dsproportionate-
ly large space allotted to reports Of
murders, arsons, burglaries, divorces
and prize fights until horrors pass be-
fore the reader as ghosts trooped in
the nightmare of Richard III. on the
eve of the battle Bosworth. The sheet
reads lie a daily bulletin of the pit.
our friends in the editorial rooms
some times tell us this is news. But
why print it? Who is made the bet
ter or the wiser by it? Does not the
spreading Of the nauseous details over
| columns and columns day after day
demoralize the public? What imagin-
able importance attaches to squabbles
in saloons, the deeds of pronigates, the
| opinions of criminals? If mentioned
at all, why not merely mention these
occurrences? Why such startling
| headlines and sensational paragraphs? ?
Wickedness is infectious. The recital
of 1t impels imitators to go and do like
wise. If it be study in morbid anat-
omy better relegate it to the physi-
clans.
"Why read unwholesome literature
when there is so much that is whole,
some? Read history, which Lord Ba-
con says makes men wise Read biog-
raphy, for there is moral tonic in It.
Read only the best novels, which paint
life in noble colors. "A good book,
says Milton, is the precious blood of a
master spirit embalmed i'm order to
| live beyond life. Christian citizens
should say to the devil in ink, Come
out:'"

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, April 2S.-The market for
stocks was lacking in animation to-
day and sank at times into a condi-
tion of unqualified dullness. although
evidences of firmness and strength was
not lacking and the small net decline
was due rather to the sympathetic ef-
feet of the manipulation by the bears
of special stocks than to anything in
the general situation. The total sales
of stocks today were 130,315 shares.

Haxana yolunteers pefsated.

Cincinnati. Feb. S.-A special from
Key West to The Commercial Tribune
says: One of Colonel Hernandez bands
met 800 Havana volunteers Sunday, 10
miles from Havana, and defeated them
badly. The Cubans feigned a retreat,
and drew the volunteers into an ambus-
cade in the side of the road, from which
they delivered terrible fire. The vol
unteers fed, and the Cubans pursued
them almost to the gates of Havana. A
part of the blockhouse garrison there at
tempted to stem the torrent of Cubans,
but were driven into their fort. The loss
of the volunteers was over 80 men
wounded, killed and missing, while half
of the force returned to Havana un-
armed. The Spanish officials have or
dered all officers Of the corps to be tried
by court martial for cowardice.

The Barorhetcr.

That the barometer should be so impor.
tant factor in indicating meteorological
conditions is to many an unsolvable mys-
terry. There should, however, be no diff
Guilty in understanding that the simple
principle underlying the construction is
that the free and unfettered air balances a
column of mercury varying in height, ac-
cording to the circumstances of the mo-
mcnt, whose average elevation at the level
of the sea Is 30 inches. 1t Is known, be-
cause directly ascertainable, that 30 cubic
inches of mercury weigh close upon 10
pounds avoirdupois, and therefore, as COM
monty expressed, the pressure of the at
mosphere is, under normal conditions, Is
pounds on every square inch-equivalent
to nearly ton on u square foot, more than
81 tons on square yard and of 100 tons
on u square Of 10A feet side. Scientific
calculation also places the aggregate
weight of the atmospheric envelope sur
rounding the world at about. 5000, 600,
600, 900 of tons, and this may be represent.
ed as the weight of solid leaden ball hay
ing diameter of 60 miles Such figures,
says u writer in Longman's Magazine, are
really beyond human comprehension.

Cast Iron,

In paper read before one of the Phila-
delphia technical societies, Mr.. A. X. Out
erbridge, Jr., chemist, expressed his dis.
sent from the common theory that cast
iron becomes brittle under repeated shocks.
He was led to test the matter by noticing
that number Of bars of cast iron, inch
square and 10 inches long, gained strength
by being shaken for several hours In box
to clean them from sand, and to test the
matter still further no prepared 12 more
bars, six Of which were tumbled in such q
box for four hours, and these showed a
strength 10 to 15 per cent greater than the
six not thus treated. Experiments were
then made by subjecting six to 5000 taps
on one end with n hand hammer, the re-
suit being gain In strength about equal
to that exhibited by the bars In the box.
The tapping produces what Mr.. Outer
bridge calls molecular annealing, which
differs from annealing by heat In that II
has no power to change the condition OF
carbon In the casting or alter the chemical
constitution In any way.
