A VALUABLE PUBLICATION.
Pennsylvania Railroad 1898 Summer
Excursion Route Book.

On June /, the Passenger Department of
the pennsylvania Railroad Company will
issue the 1898 edition of its Summer Excur-
sion Route Book. This work Is designed to
provide the public with short descriptive

over four hundred resorts in the book to
which rates are quoted, and over fifteen
hundred different routes or combinations of
routes. 1t is compiled with the utmost care,
and altogether is the most complete and
comprehensive handbook of Summer travel
ever offered to the public.
1t is bound in a handsome and striking
cover, in colors, and contains several maps.
presenting the exact routes over which
tickets are sold. 1t is also profusely illus
trated with fine half-tone cuts of scenery at
the various resorts and along the lines of the

Two surfaces that will roll on each

are provided with projections, the mo-
ton, although it is unchanged in nature,
is transmitted by direct pressure. and
it is irregular unless the acting surfaces
of the projections are carefully and
exactly shaped to produce an even mo-

perienced to produce these perfect pro-

which leads the experienced mechanic

Sewing Machine manufacture has
taught the Monarch Company that
whatever transmission was used, bevel
gears were not to be considered if easy
running was to be thought of. The
result has been driving gear which is
excellent in its easy running qualities.
The mechanism is simple. The crank
axle and hub gears somewhat resemble
the familiar sprocket wheels, the notice

HEAVY STORM.
Lightning Strikes Farmhouse at NC
chanicS Valley.


A very severe electrical storm passed
over Cecil county on Tuesday afternoon,
the rain falling in torrents for more than
an hour. Lightning flashed almost inces-
sanity, and played havoc with the two
story frame kitchen attached to the dwell
ing Of William Holt, farmer near Me-
ohanics Valley, five miles from Elkton.
The bolt was peculiar one, striking the
b uildipg in three different places at once,
tearing the boards, plaster and laths off in
such large quantities at each place that the
building is practically total wreck. This
happened just as the storm was approach
ing and before a drop Of rain had fallen.
Mrs. Holt had just left the building and
was in the yard getting her young chickens
under shelter, when she was knocked down
aud rendered almost unconscious. She is
under the care Of physician. The same
bolt struck and shattered three trees stand
ing some little distance away from the
house. Lightning also struck trees in two
places in Elkton.

by the Insurance Commissioner of this
State to commence business on the 9th day

urer; John w. Brady secretary, and the
Board of Directors is composed of George
A. Blake, James S Hopper, X. c. Lewis
and William T. Warburton, vacancy
having occurred in the board by death.
The vacancy will soon be filled by the cleo.
ton of new director.
This company has had phenomenal sue.
cess. Without any effort at pushing OF
soliciting insurance it has, in less than a
year, insured $4,000 worth of property
in this county. Its policy holders are
scattered all over the county, and cOnsti-
tute some OF the most substantial of our
citizens. The expenses of its manage
ment are less than any company, perhaps,
in the State. 1t has met with but one
loss in the year, namely, 81, 600, which is
in the course of adjustment, and will be
promptly paid.
Judging from its past success, which is
phenomenal, it is destined to become one
of the leading and influential insurance
companies of the State

but should they from any cause be eX-
posed the action of the pin teeth is such
that they are Self-cleaning, forcing mud
and dirt out from between the teeth.
One of the chief objections urged
against ChainleSS wheels by mechanics
is that should the rear frame become
twisted or out of line, there would be a
consequent binding of the mating gears.
The Monarch chainleSs is entirely free
from this objection inasmuch that the
junction of the pinionS and gears form
Il type of the ball and socket Joint,
thereby permitting free running under
the conditions usually met with in
bicycle riding. A particular advantage
which this gear has, and which gives it
the highest efficiency, is the direct lift
us against the end thrust which is com
mon to all beve gearing. This end
thrust is prominent factor in friction
and frame strain.
Another point to be counted in favor
of the Monarch gear is, that it is not of
delicate construction although COM
paratively light in weight.
Asstated by Grant, the well knowna u-
thority on gears, "Thepin gearis partcu-
larly valuable when the pins are made in
the form of rollers forthenthe minimum
of friction is reached" The friction
between the tooth and pin, otherwise a
sliding friction at line bearing is. with
a roller pin, a rolling friction. When
properly made, there is no form of tooth
that is superior to the roller pin
tooth.
While the Monarch company is war
ranted from the study of experts in
placing its chainless machine on the
| ant.1-, L l.
its faith in the chain wheel is in no way
diminished. 1t will continue to keep
them in the forward ranks of that type
of bicycle which is yet the choice of the
majority of the people. In line with
the general policy of the Monarch com.
pany, the price of its chainless will be
500 90, which will give complete line,
including chain machines, ranging from
this price to $4,000.

MUCH SCHOOL MONEY.
June Distribution of State Funds Largest
Ever Made-Efficient Collections.

Ever MduS-EIllSltn JulltCtlOnS.
Comptroller p. L. Goldsborough says
that the June quarterly distribution OF the
public school tax to white schools in this
State will be the largest that has ever been
made since the comptloller's office was
established, in 1852, the increase being
over $lOO,O 900. This has been done with
out any additional taxation.
The fourth quarterly appointment of
public school tax for white schools since
1891 by law is as follows

The gold in the treasury and in the
country at large IS piling up to unpre-
cedented figures, farm products bring
high prices, business is better than it
has been at any previous time in sew
en- or eight years, and the country is
prosperous and happy. That is what
the people get for putting the Repub-
lican party in power. OF course, part
Of the big stock of gold in the treasury
is due to the war loan, and is, there
fore, borrowed money. But the
amount of gold in the country at
large is greater than evex before, and
this Is not borrowed Nor is there
anything fictitious about the business
activity and the general prosperity.
No sane person supposes that we
would have this prosperity now if the
election had gone the other way. The
people did grand days work on No

Bryanism.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1898-09-03

1t will be to the everlasting disgrace
of the French government and people
if they do not reverse the finding Of
the court which convicted Captain
Dreyfus of reasonable conduct and
sentenced him to Imprisonment, now
that the document on which he was
mainly convicted has been proven to
be a forgery by the confession and sui
eide Of the man who forged it. The
structures Of M. Zola upon the govern
ment, which caused the conviction Of
the famous novelist, now appear to
have been we'll founded, and it is diff
ficult to see how the government can
escape from the duty of reopening the
cases and making reparation to the
men whom it has wronged so grievi-
ously.
