When the observation is made that
worry kills, it is often a matter of
wonder as to the actual manner in
which death is pronounced by it.
Modern science has brought to light
nothing more curiously interesting
than the fact that worry will most
certainly kill, and the way in which it
kills is stated to be that worry Injuries
beyond repair certain cells of the
brain. The brain being the nutritive
centre of the body, the other organs
become gradually injured, and when
some disease of these organs or COM
bination of them arises, death finally
ensues. Occasional worry of the sys-
tenn the brain can cope with, but the
iteration and reiteration of one idea
OF the disquieting sort, the cells of the
brain are certainly not proof against.
With all your good resolutions paste
this in your hat "It is not work but
worry that hastens nervous prostra-
tion."

ROHRBAOH GOT LEFT.
Congressman Kulp's Candidate Turned Down
For Collector.
MAJOR PENMAN WAS NAMED.

Lloyd T. Rohrbach of Sunbury,
the candidate whom Congressman
Kulp expected to land in the Office
of Internal Revenue Collector for this
district, has been turned down and it
looks very much as if Senator Quay
was a party to it. Major Thomas F.
Penman, of Scranton, has been nam
ed to succeed Grant Herring, the
present collector. Mr.. Penman was
the immediate predecessor OF Mr..
Herring. The Office pays about
$4,000 a year. Ex-Congre sman
Fred c. Leonard, whose name had
been connected with the position for
some time past, was appointed to the
Office of U. S. Marshall for the west
ern district.
The following special sent out from
Washington appeared in the Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
"Senators Quay and Penrose were
early visitors at the White House
Thursday and the nomination of
Messrs. Leonard and Penman follow
ed as result of their talk with the
President.
'It was Senator Quay's original in
tention to give the collectorshlp 10
Mr.. Leonard and the Marshalship to
Major Penman, but Congressman
Council induced the Senator to re-
verse this program. Mr.. Connell told
the Senator that Major Penman was
unwilling to leave Scranton, where he
is engaged in the law business. Sena-
tor Quay consulted with ex-Congress-
man Leonard who readily agreed to
the change"

Iron and Steel Outlook.
First Week Of the New Year Witnesses a
Rising Market.

The American Manufacturer in its
weekly iron and steel trade review on
Saturday says:
"The iron and steel market in the
principal centres starts the new year
fairly well. The Eastern market has a
better tone than it has had for some
weeks past, as New York reports busi-
ness better and prices steaGier. The
same centre reports large deliveries of
structural material that have been de-
ferred for some time.
cat Philadelphia pig iron purchases
are light, but there are big orders
pending. The Bessemer billet market
is much stronger, and there are good
orders for bars. The year opens well
at Chicago, although the season for
stock-taking makes trade rather slow
at present. The Western pig iron
market was affected to some extent
by the weakening of Southern irons,
as some of the smaller producers cut
prices about SO cents per ton. How
ever, the demand is good.
"1t is stated that the rod output has
been sold up to March. The trade in
bars is fairly good, but Western mills
are shading prices somewhat. AT Gin
cinnati, also, Southern pig iron has
weakened. although the general trade
at that point is fairly good. There is
considerable activity in bars, and
large plate and tank orders are ex-
pected soon. The Louisville market
is reported as being rather dull. In
the Wheeling district trade remains
about as it was, and at Cleveland the
pig iron trade is in waiting condi-
ton, although there is considerable
inquiry for Bessemer pig.
"In Pittsburg the new year opens
-favorably. There has been no change
In prices, except in few lines, and
these have been in the way of ad-
vances; but the entire situation is
good, and there is every indication
that an active buying movement may
set in at any time"

Wanted Only Democrats.

A remarkable will is being contest
ed in the courts of Bradford county.
Geo. N. Wilcox left each of his grand
sons $1,000 on condition that they
support the Democratic party during
life. Failing, the money was left to
the granddaughters providing they
married loyal Democrats. The will
is being contested on the ground that
the legacies are temptation or brlbe
for the advocacy of particular politi-
cal creed contrary to the genius of our
Government and institutions.

Weakness Of the President.

There is disposition to blame
the republican administration fol
the neglect of the splendid army
arrayed against Spain. The country
fixes the blame where it belongs.
The monstrosity of the political
appointments in the military de-
partment, from the secretary Of war
down to the sons Of fathers, is the
primal cause of the butchery in the
care Of the soldiers.
