A Strange Proceeding.

A dispatch from Harrisburg, dated
Tuesday, stated that despite the fact
| that Governor Hastings i'll 1895 vetoed
an appropriation $28, 900 to reprint the
famous BIRD Book prepared by DR..
B. II. Warren, of Chester. a bold at
tempt has benn made in the past year
| to reprint the book at the cost of $53.
| to the State
In 1896 the Department of Agricul-
| ture published bulletin entitled:
| Diseases and Enemies of Poultry. An
edition of 81 900 cost the State S4SS.9f,
or an average of 13 cents copy This
bulletin was in such demand that on
| March 0, 1897, the Legislature passed a
Joint resolution providing for the print
ing of -, 900 more copies iB pamphlet
form. with such additional matter aud
changes as the author may deem neceg-
sorry to more fully explain this import
ant subject"
About month ago Thomas Bell
| Clark, Assistant Superintendent of
Public Printing. noticed in the absence
of his chief that this pamphlet had not
yet been issued and he began to make
| inquiries, the result Of which was that
he discovered that there was great
deal of fine color work in the way Of
Autographs being doEe for the pamph-
let
| On March 49, Mr. Beitler sent for ou-
perintendent of Public Printing Robin
son, and after consultation, acting on
the authority of the Governor, he or
dered the work to stop at once. Mr..
| Beitler then wrote TO Mr. Robinson,~ re-
questing Il statement rs to how far the
work had proceeded. In reply TO this
Mr. Busch wrote to Mr.. Robinson, say
ing that the press work was practically
| finished and the pamphlet is now wait
ing binding,
! As matter Of fact, the press work
| was not finished, for the entire 80 pages
of Mr. Pearson's part of the pamphlet
were sent TO him in proof after the work
had been ordered to be stopped on it,
and he was told to hurry il back to
Harrisburg that it might be printed.
This. however, was not done as Mr..
Beitler heard of the proof in Mr.. Pear
sons hands. and he warned him by
telephone not send it back. Mr.. Pear
son at once brought his uncorrected
proofs and manuscript 10 Harrisburg
and placed them in Mr.. Beitlers pos
| session.
1t may be remarked here that on the
day that the worked was ordered stop
ped on the alleged pamphlet March l6,
DIR. Warren sent in his resignation as
Economic Zo9logist to the Governor, on
the ground thai h. was not in full acord
with His Excellency's political views.
Mr. Beitler then set about securing Il
copy Of the unbound sheets, as far as
printed, He was amazed at the size
and scope of the work The original
bulletin covered 118 pages, but the one
as prepared by Drs. Warren and Pear
son would contain 900 pages. Making
a little further inquiry, Mr.. Beitler
found that the State Printer estimated

The Superior Court has handed down
an opinion that will settle for time
at least the vexed question of con-
stables fees. In the case of VIM. Price,
a constable, against the county of Ian
caster the questions raised were, first,
can constable legally claim circular
mileage for executing a warrant ana
serving the subpoena, and, second. can
he recover fifty cents for subpoenalng
each witness. Judge Wickham, VINO
wrote the opinion in the case, decides
that the plaintiff is only entitled to be
paid mileage one way at the rate Of ten
cents mile, and that for serving sub
poena the constable may, for each per-
son named in the process and actually
served, legally charge fifty cents. The
Court says:
ITO hold that the officer should be
given only the same fee in every case
for serving the parties named IN the
subpoena would produce inequality
and injustice and often subject him to
the temptation to shirk the fnll perfor-
nance of his duty. Practically ne
serves the writ every time he reads 1t
to witness. The trouble and labor is
the same as if he had separate sub
poena for each person named.
This decision will not settle the mat
ter for the case will be carried to the
| higher court.

boss manipulated state treasury, they
would then realize what has been the
fountain head Of Quayism and OF the
streams Of corrupt politics that have
spread over our state.
MACHINE METHODS UNEARTHED
The oft repeated attempts TO honestly
investigate the conduct OF the state
treasury have failed, and the almost
constant suspicion and attack has
found every avenue closed that might
lead to a knowledge OF how the state
money was being handled. Only once
In 20 years has II state treasurer been
elected that Quay did not own po-
litlcally. and but once in all these years
have we had glimpse of the methods
employed.

accounts of State Treasurer Noycs, pre-
| paratory to his taking office. he But-

New York Evening Post and several
other metropolitan journals, and never
yet has been denied, OF how Quay. the
political boss. and Cashier of the State

with money belonging TO the state
treasury ana substituted practically
worthless securities for cash they had
used; Of how the approaching time for

TO be 100000; Of how an exposure was

Beauty in COrsets.

French women who have reduced
dress to a science, held that the most
important item of toilet of we'll
greomed woman is the corset.
The French woman wears short
corset of cream or black satin, embroid-
cred in her favorite color. There is a
wide heading at the top through which
is drawn a ribbon the color of the en-
broidery. The bottom of the corset is
bound in wider satin ribbon. This is
to prevent the staels or whale-bones
from bending inward and hurting the
flesh, aud to prevent the suspender
garters, which are often pinned to the
sides of the corset, from tearing it.
