10 Waters on IngersoII.

Hope is largely Dead Sea apple;
expectation is seldom realized, desire
is but half granted and faith sickens
at its own deceits. Yet, these things
are the sources and springs of all
human action. To destroy them is to
leave the future beggared of even a
prophecy. Whether faith is founded
on fact or wholly fancied, 1t has
always been the food upon which the
unappeased hunger of mankind has
fed. It is universal and common as
nature and among all tribes and races
of men. It is whip and spur to en-
desvor along all the avenues of right
conduct and 1t the solace beyond
words to the grieving and heavy
hearted. It is more the fruit of sci
ence than it is of ignorance. There
is more reason in the religion that can
a universe on law than IN that of the
savage who appalled, by an eclipse or
dumb before the hurricane. The
great man who sought to destroy the
washerwomsn's song, to blot out the
only star in her sky. to turn the fire
in her soul to dead embers, is lead

In 1896 Mr.. Bryan received 176
electoral votes. To have been sue
cessful required 224. IF in 1900 he is
re-nominated and retains all the states
carried in 1895 he will lack 48 votes.
Kentucky is almost certain to cast her
vote for the democratic ticket ID 1900,
as is West Virginia also, which will
make 1874 votes, or 30 less than a ma
joritY. California, Oregon and Min
nesots were carried for the republican
ticket by pluralities of 1000 or less,
and the last-named has since chosen a
populist governor. Should these
states cast their vote for Mr.. Bryan
they will add % votes leaving the
total only s votes short of q majority.
Maryland with 8 votes and Indiana
with Is votes are states normally
democratic and we're lost to Mr.. Bryan
only by the action of he gold demo-

Illinois with Is are likely to condemn

Wanted the Reporters to Get the News

One of the first things done by the
general superintendent of the Della
ware. Lackawanna & Western Rail
road, says the New York Sm, after
the accident at Patterson last week,
Wednesday, was to give these orders
to his chief clerk: "Communicate at
once by telephone with every news
paper in New York. Tell them that
we have had bad accident at Pater-
son, and that while it reflects seriously
on us, we do not care to have It made
worse by ignorant Misrepresentation
and guesswork. Ask them to send
reports. the more the better, to Pater-
son right away, and tell them that if 1t
is not possible for their men to reach
Hoboken in time tor our last train at
q:3o o'clock, we will find some way tc
get them out there. Meanwhile give
all inuuirers all the information that
comes into your possession"
The instructions were carried out &c
the letter. Later, at the scene OF the
disaster, the officers of the railroad
devoted as much time as could prop
erly be spared from the care of the In
iured to making clear all the details
of the accident. The horse sense o
this action is an outward indication O
the working of the new Western BLOOD
that was injected into this railroad I
few months ago.

Fight Over Burial Expenses.
County Commissioners Object to Money Paid
for Unknown Mans Funeral.

There is a dispute between the
Oyerseers of the Poor OF Catawissa
township and the County Commission
ers in regard to the burial OF the un-
known man whose body was found
near the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks
two weeks ago. The bill for attend
ance and burial as returned to the
county amounts to $74.S7, and is
made up of the following items: Over
seers of the Poor of .Catawlss Twp,
$3.50; Coroner's bill, $II.37; doc
tors bill for attendance at inquest,
$40. The County Commissioners
claim this amount is too large, anc
they refuse to pay the $3.50 TO the
Overseers, hence the trouble.
The ground on which the Commis
sioners refuse payment is as follows
The Act of 1898 which required the
commissioners to pay burial expenses
in such cases has been declared un
constitutional, and hence the paymen,
of expenses falls back upon the poo
district where the accident happened
The same as it did before the passage
of the Act of 1893

Communicated.

Our attention has been called to
statement made by Prof Pierson at
the late County Institute, by one OF
the teachers attending the Institute,
70 the effect that London consumed
annually nine billions of eggs, and
that the eggs, If placed end to end
would make circle as large as the
Equator, to wit, $4,000 miles in length,
This statement was copied into his
memorandum at the time of announce
ment Upon careful investigation 1t is
found that, allowing the average length
of eggs to be three inches, the length
of nine billions of eggs would form a
line of 426,I2o miles, or distance
sufficient to encircle the equator thIr
teen times. If the eggs measure two
inches in diameter they would form
zone twenty SIX inches in width. Al
lowing our imagination to run with
Prof. Persons, that zone OF eggs
would hatch, in that torrid region and
