Wildcat and Porcupine

A large wildcat that had gone hungry
three days sneakod down the big beech
ridge above Balygump, Me, with Its
face screwed INTO as ugly snccr as
ever wildcat Wore Beyond the ridge,
where the ground sank into gullylik
swamp, the wildcat found fat porcu-
pine on the ground. The cat evidently
found the porcupilie tempting to look
on, for 1t promptly went on the hunt
with all the craft it could exercise Be-
hind IL hummoek, along snow ridge,
over fallen log and through Il sprin-
king Of bush tops the cat made its way
and approached the porcupine Then it
sprang and pripped its claws on its prey.
1t sought to roll the porcupine over so
as to bite it on the belly. 1t succeeded
only partially, and filled its jaws full
of short quilts from the porcupine' s
side, The porcupine died quickly, but
the wildcat, with its jaws distended
with the quilts, could no. cat the meat,
being able only to lap up little of the
blood.
The agony to the wildcat was so great
after awhile that the brute rolled over
and over in the SNOW, finally forcing a
quill through an eye and into its brain

When Don Cameron is retired from
the senate of the United States ON the
4th of March, it will be the first time
in generation that the senate has beer
without Cameron among its members
His father, SIMON Cameron, entered TIT
senate in 1916 and was II famous Whig
leader ten years before the Republican
party was born. His son was elected
largely through the fathers popularity
in Pennsylvania. If we leave out tn,
brief period during the Lincoln admin

secretary of war and minister to Russia,
and three years following, when he was
in retirement, the period OF Cameron

TERRIBLE OPERA ION.

One of the most painful and dangerous
operations known TO surgery is thatrcsorted
to for the removal OF cancer or tumor ;
these diseases are becoming more and
more prevalent every year and hospitals
are called upon to receive increasing num-
bers of those who must submit to the
operation for the removal OF cancer.
Medical science has never been able to
furnish remedy for these diseases. But
it seems hata truer emedy has been found
in Ypsilanti Specific, natural mineral
water For fourteen years this water has
been thoroughly tested in hundreds OF
cases, and no case has ever been found
where there was any hope of life left that
this water would not cure. The YPslLANTI
SPECIFIC Co. of Io4 BROAD ST, BosToN,
will furnish evidence OF these facts to any
one desiring it.

ALVAN G. CLARK.

In the death of Alvan G. Clark not
only the United States but the whole
world has sustained a great loss. He
was. perhaps, the most famous lens
maker that ever lived, certainly the
most famous of this century. He died
very soon after the completion of the
largest lens ever undertaken-that for
the Yerkes observatory of the Chicago
university, situated at Lake Geneva
Wisconsin. This was the browning
work of a very busy and useful life
though hardly a very long one.
He was born at Fall River, Mass.
July TO- 1892 He was a son of the late
Alvan Clark, and a descendant of
Thomas Clark, one of the Pilgrim
fathers, who, tradition says, was the
mate of the Mayfower. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools at Cam
bridgeport, Mass. and afterwards
learned the trade of a machinist. He
subsequently worked at lens making
with his brother George. and became
a member of the firm of Alvan Clark &
Sons, telescope makers, in 1852. He
was a practical astronomer as we'll as
a lens maker, and in 1862 he received
the Lelande gold medal from the
French imperial academy of sciences
for his discovery of the companion of
Sirius. He accompanied several ex-
petitions that went at different times
to observe the total eclipse of the
sun.
Mr.. Clark always polished his lenses
by hand. claiming that a truer and
better surface could thereby be Sc
cured, and his work certainly justified
his theory. In this respect he differed
from the English lens makers, who
chiefly polish by machinery.
1t was Mr.. Clark's great ambition,
as it was his fathers. to perpetuate
his name and fame as a lens maker
to have his house continued from gen
Grafton to generation, but when. some
years ago, his only son died all hope
of realizing his ambition was de-
stroyed. But his name and his fame
will endure so long as men search the
heavens with telescopes. Truly may
it be said of him that he has man
sion in the skies.

PENNSYLVANIA NEW LABOR
LAW.

The Pennsylvania legislature has
just passed, and Governor Hastings
has approved, a very important and
thorough labor law. In its first sec
ton it provides that if any officer.
agent or employee of any corporation
chartered under the laws of this COM
monwealth, or any foreign corporation
doing business in this commonwealth,
shall coerce or attempt to coerce anv
employee of such corporation by dis
charging them or threatening to dis
charge them from the employment of
such corporation because of their con-
nection with any lawful labor organiza-
ton which such employee may have
formed. Joined or belonged to, or IL
any such officer, agent or employee
shall exact from any applicant for en-
ploymsnt in such corporation any
promise or agreement not to form,

organization, or not to continue a men,

SUPPRESS LYNCHING.

So long as lawlessness is apologized
for, so long will it continue; in fact, 10
apologize for it is to encourage it. A
week ago there was lynching at Ur-
bana, o., of a man who had been tried
and convicted and given the full pen
atty of the law. His crime was one of
the worst that can be committed-that
of criminal assault upon a woman-and
it has been urged in explanation of the
crime of lynching this man that the
punishment provided by the law of
Ohio for his offense was inadequate;
and hence the lynching. Such an ex-
PLANTATION may satisfy the public con-
science of Urbana and may be it will
be accepted elsewhere as sufficient, but
outside of this particular case it ex-
plains nothing. How will those who
accept such a theory of the cause of
lynchings explain the lynching at Prin-
cess Anne. Nd, of the negro Andrews,
whose crime was identical with that
of Click Mitchell, the Urbana vic
tim, who had been tried, convicted and
sentenced to death? Capital punish
ment is the severest known to man,
and this would have been inflicted on
Andrews had the law been allowed TO
take it's course. The only explanation
of the conduct of the mob at Princess
Anne is a desire for blood. The poor
excuse of inadequate punishment is
wholly wanting in the case of Andrews.
These lynchings are a disgrace to the
entire nation and should be stopped at
any cost. 1t is useless to ATTEMPT to
reason with the mobs that are guilty
of them, for with their passions aroused
they are not amenable to reason in any
form; the only thing they will respect
is brute force. 1t is the duty of officers
to protect all persons in their custody
at all hazards. 1t is not likely there
will be any cessation of lynchings I'M
til the mobs that indulge in them are
subdued by the strong arm OF the law,
which means until they are scattered
with bullets. This in turn means many
deaths; but better many deaths in a
lawless mob than that law and order
shall be set at defiance and civilization
become hiss and a byword.

This aims to give full and complete
protection to employees of corpora
lions in Pennsylvania, and if it is en-
forced in letter and spirit it can
scarcely fail of accomplishment of it's
purpose.
The second section of the law aims to
give protection to the corporations. Il
provides that .'if any person or persons
whomsoever shall attempt or offer TO
coerce any such corporation or any Of
ficer, agent or employee thereof by de-
handing or requesting the dismissal
or discharge of any officer, agent or
employee because of non-membershio
in any lawful organization, the person
or persons so offending shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and on conviction
shall be subject to the like penalties as
those prescribed for a violation of the
first section of this act" The last sec
ton repeats all acts in conflict with
the above.
This labor law seems to cover the
whole subject with which it attempts
to deal in very thorough manner. 1t
is just in the penalties it provides.
making them equally applicable to Of
tenders of either class. The worth of
the law will be found in its vigorous
and impartial enforcement and not in
its text. If its execution is equal TO its
provisions, Pennsylvania will have
achieved a great success.
