ELECTRICITY FOR STEAM.

| The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has about determined to substi
tute electricity for steam whereve
this can be done with safety and com
merclal success. The statement i.
made upon what is believed to be ex
cellent authority.
The Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon Railroad, which is
operated by electricity, is practically
controlled by the Pennsylvania Com
pany, and this controlling interest was
acquired with the view of making
experiments as to the relative values
OF electricity and steam as a motor
power. While the equipment of this
road has not been as heavily built, so
lar as the ears are concerned, as are
electric cars on many suburban lines,
especially In the north and west, it is
known that the results thus far secur-
ed have been entirely satisfactory to
its owners.
1t is pretty well understood in rail-
way circles that the time is not far
distant when there will be constructed
an an air line electric railway between
Washington and New York and it is
believed that the Pennsylvania Com
pany will be largely interested in the
scheme. Al the Baldwin locomotive
works, in Philadelphia, the statement
was recently made by one of the
managers that they were fully expect
ing electricity to take the place of
steam within very few years, and
that their company and the Westing-
house, of Pittsburg, had constructed
an electric engine, which had devel- !
oped speed of more than 100 miles
an hour.

PERILS OF THE KLONDIKE,
Parry OF Shamokin Gold Hunters Faced
Death.

Mrs. Jacob F. Graeber, of Shamo-
kin has received letter from her
husband, announcing that on Oct. 90
the Shamokin gold hunters had been
Cast ashore on the beach of Lake
Iaglsh, in Northwest Territory, dur
ing terrific hurricane, which had
washed huge waves over their boats
and RATS and came near ending their
lives. The members of the party had
only succeeded in traversing a dis.
tance of sixty miles over Lakes Ben
nett and Tagsh.
The Canadian mounted police de-
clared that it will be impossible for
them to reach Dawson City before
spring, but Mr.. Graeber adds that his
party will push on at least 13s miles
farther before going into Winter quar-
tiers, and, if possible, will continue to
the Klondike without delay.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER I6, 1907.

Perhaps 20 decision of Pennsvl-
vania court has been more widely
quoted by the State newspapers than
that in which Judge Harry White, OF
Indiana county, defined what, in his
judgment, constituted an Incorporate
man. The definition, it appears, was
invited by the nature of the case. and
1t was fairly met. Judge White said !:
To our mind, then, a man so given
to the habit that he very frequently
goes to the bar for drink. occasion
ally gets under the influence, Yields to
the temptation for getting liquo, when
offered, or accepts treat whenever
invited, leaves his employment fire.

drink, spends his earnings for it while
other responsibilities are neglected.
leeds a growing appetite for liquor
without any effort for its control, is
person of incorporate habits and
when those habits become known to
the community in general or in the
nelghborhood where he lives, or
among the people with whom he has
intercourse and who see him from
time to time in the indulgence of
those habits, he is under the ban of
The liquor law as person of known
incorporate habits.
1t this test were applied in all the
drinking places of the State the reduc-
non of their receipts would be enor.
NOUS, and yet 1t is not bad test after
all. Certainly the man who sfeeds a
growing appetite for liquor without
any effort for its control" must soon
become an Incorporate man, if he is
not such already. There are many |
who become such in spite of frequent
efort.-Iqui,er.

Upheld by Judge Albright.

Judge Albright of Allentown. who
presided at special term of Court in
1oIouasburg made decision the
other day that will be of special inter
est to the fair sex at large. Miss
Edith Custard, a sprightly and vivaci-
ons young miss of about IS summers,
was called to testify in an ejectment
case between Louis Kaul and his
son-in-law Sherman Coss. The law
yer polntedly asked Miss Custard her
age. Her reply was
= may be 80 for all you know, my
age has nothing at all to do with the
case and l refuse to answer YOUR
question"
Judge Albright informed the LAWYER
mat the woman's reply to his ques-
non was an appropriate one, and the
subject was Immediately dropped by
the attorney.

The Good Offices of the Banks and Trusts
Communicated \


These benevolent and charitable
institutions are seeking to take the
farmers into their confidence, and to
exercise a guardianship over them. OF
course they begin to see that the
farmers are not capable of taking care
OF their surplus cash, though they can
manage the affairs of the farms. Their
advice to farmers would indicate a
great interest in their welfare. This
is the first instance in the history of
our knowledge that the money power.
through the banks volunteered advice
to farmers what to do with their sur.
plus cash. This is only so by acci-
dent. The farmers of the wheat belt
OF the United States were benefited
by total crop failures in nearly all of
the foreign countries, and to supply
that demand, the farmers surplus
wheat flowed into foreign markets. and
foreign capital flowed back, in return,
into the farmers Golfers without the
banks getting the first steal on the
cash. All; If the farmers had only the
"home market"-"the protected home
Market" which the Republican party
Tor years has been trying to establish
Tor the farmers, to consume all their
surplus products, the case would be
quite different, and the banks would
have no advice to give to farmers,
and the only aid the banks would
render would be an increase of mort.
cages and higher rates of interest. 1t
is only another dodge to deceive the
farmers into another lease of the
single gold standard power. The single
gold standard conspiracy will hardly
work Its bunco game on the farmers
in 1900. The farmers surplus corn
is not moving very fast in the home
market, neither is rye or oats. The
home market is so low, that it does
not pay the farmers to raise them for
revenue to defray home expenses.
How different it would be if the farm |
'rs had foreign market for these |
cereals as well as for wheat The
1ext move of bankers and trusts will |
De to join the grange, and try to lead
he farmers into hole.

RESPECT THE STOMACH.

Few people do have proper respect
for the stomach. If a thing taste:
good" and is not so hot or so cold as
to be painful to the mouth or throat
1t is swallowed by too many people
regardless Of consequences.
Do not give the stomach food that
will irritate 1t or retard it in the per-
tormance OF its natural functions, or
1t will retaliate in a way, that is de-
cidedly unpleasant. A headache, a
slump" or "heavy feeling" IN the sto-
mach, and irritations of the skin, are
mostly symptoms of disordered diges-
tion resulting from unwholesome food.
Alum baking powders are response
Bile for the larger part of this unwhole
some food, for it is fact we'll recog-
nized by physicians that alum renders
food indigestible and unwhoesome.
The danger to health from this
cause is SO imminent that it behooves
every one to adopt precautionary
measuresto keep alum baking powders,
which are now SO numerous, from the
kitchen stores. 1t will be found that
those powders sold at lower price
than Royal are almost invariably made
from alum, and therefore of inferior
quality and dangerous to health.
The safer way is to look for the
well-known red and-ye!ow label of
the Royal Baking Powder. That is
certain to cover powder free from
alum. The Royal is made of cream
OF tartar, pure, wholesome fruit acid
derived from grapes. 1t is renowned
for adding antl-dyspeptic qualities to
the food, as well as tor making finer
and better food.

Out the Skein.

Williamsport Times A good story
is told on a certain dry goods clerk
employed in Newberry. The young
man has just secured the position,
and is not as we'll acquainted with the
business as he could be. Several
days ago a farmer, living about three
miles from Newberry, sent his son to
the store where the young man is en-
ployed for half skein of yarn. The
clerk, picking up skein, took his
scissors and cutt loop at both ends,
sending the boy home with numerous
strands of yarn about a half yard
long. The story is going the rounds,
and the clerks life will be made
miserable for some time to come.

Petered Out Ignominiously.

And so it turns out that the grea
American Protective Association
known by the abbreviation of A. P
A., has been brought to a timely enc
by a sherlff's sale. Its supreme heat
quarters, at Washington, were levied
on and sold under the hammer some
time ago, thus bringing to an ignomin-
1ous conclusion the career of an organi.
xation which aspired to control the
politics of the country by combina-
t'on OF political and religious influ-
ences.
This is another illustration of the
tact that the American people have
no use for organizations that are con-
Quoted on dark,lantern principles and
by underground methods. The fate
that overlook Knownothlngism, some
iorty years back, has been repeated in
The extinction of tine A. P. A. Public
sentiment In this country has in these
TWO instances given sufficient indica-
non OF its aversion to oatb-bound
practices in influencing either politics
or religion.
1t was only last year that the A. P.
"A. assumed to dictate to political
parties and to call presidential candi-
dates to account. The arrogation of
such Importance furnishes a laughable
contrast to the whack of the sheriff,s
hammer that knocked off the furni.
ture OF its headquarters to the high
est bidder.-Er.
