BAD FOR HUMMEL.
The Smith Whom he Accused Has Been
Found,

Hummel, who is in jail awaiting
trial at Williamsport on the charge of
numbering his wife and three children,
has been contending that a man nam
ed Smith, residing at Hazleton, was
either the murderer or had taken the
wife and children away. 1t now trans
pires that there is a Smith in that city
and when the police of that city went
to the house they found Smith and
also three children answering the des-
cription of the supposed victims.
Smith, however, denies knowing Hum
mel and said he had never heard of the
alleged murderer before. The children,
he said were his own offspring. The
discovery of Smith makes the case
against Hummel stronger than ever,
as his statement that he knew nothing
OF Hummel and was never at his house
knocks out Hummers well construct
ed story.
The arrest of Hummel has recalled
and revived interest in the murder OF
Amos Ritter, at Sedan, Delaware
township, Northumberland county, a
little over two years ago. Many OF
our readers will no doubt recall the
mysterious circumstances which sur
rounded the finding of his body, in
the backyard at his home. Hummel
travelled in that part of the country at
the time of the murder and a grea,
many people are of the opinion that
he knows something about it.

DEwEY's SERVICE SWORD.
hit of steel Two Feet Long for which
$500 Was Of
fcred.

A bit of steel little more than two
feet in length has been the attraction
for some time for the patrons of a fash
ionable tailoring establishment, which
does a large business with officers OF
the army and navy, writes Washing
ton correspondent of the PittsburSh
Dispatch. Though very plain and in
significant in itself it is fascinating
and important as having for long been
the companion of the most notable and
popular hero of the late war with Spain.
Admiral Dewey, having been for many
years q patron of this establishment,
left his sword there to have its handle
gilded, and the tailors were allowed to
Iease their patrons by exhibiting it to
lem. Many are the offers that have
cen made for its purchase. In the
,resence of the writer a day or two
,go one gentleman offered $500 for it,.
,rhe makers of uniforms, etc, laughed
and remarked that the person would
have to raise the ante several times
to be up TO the figures of other would
be buyers of the famous weapon. a
gentleman who overheard the offer Of
$500 declared himself for $1,000, and
still another who was present counted
out 81 800 in the long green. OF course
the proprietor laughed at these absurd
offers, as if to say there was not money
enough in the world to purchase from
Admiral Dewey this simple weapon
that had been his side partner through
ont oil the dave of npxietv aud Of yir-
tory during that passage of his life
which gave him within a few short
hours whatever qualification there was
in the consciousness that he had won

Another Scheme.

The Kingston correspondent to the
Wilkesbarre Times says: Two weeks
ago two strangers arrived here and
secured the right to place register in
the Exchange Hotel. They solicited
a number OF advertisements from local
business men, securing six advertise
ments in all at S. piece. They were
to be printed on blotter paper and
then inserted In the register, they to
furnish the book complete and place it
in the hotel. After the advertising
slips were printed they went to each
one Of their patrons and showed the
slips and received their pay. AS soon
as the money was collected they threw
the slips away and left town without
placing the register in the hotel. By
SO cleverly duping the advertisers the
swindlers made $I2 TOR the days
work. They have evidently been
operating in various towns down the
river.
These chaps worked their game in
Shlckshinny and as usual caught those
merchants who hardly ever advertise
in their home paper, but let some
fakir come along and they are the
first to bite. Need the moral be men

Oomplicating Christmas.

Edward Box writes, in the Decem-
Der LadieS Home Journal, that
"there must be some radical and
growing departure from the right and
best way of celebrating Christmas
when each recurring year we hear a
larger number of men saying, 'Well,
I'll be truly thankful when this Christ
mas business is over And they are
led to this remark generally by seeing
then wives, mothers, sisters, or daugh-
ters, reach Christmas Day utterly
tired out, with the prospect of siege
of illness as soon as Christmas is over.
And il must be confessed that this
state of affairs exists in thousands OF
homes. Women themselves fre
quently acknowledge their satisfaction
when the day is over. Now, there is
always something wrong when we
make burden of our pleasures. And
# one of our sources of pleasure IN
the calendars greatest gala day is de.
rived from feeling of thankfulness
that it is over, there is something
askew either in the way we prepare
for, or spend, the day."

Christmas Presents.

In the December Ladies' H0me
journal Edward Box writes in vigor-
Gus depreciation of the complicating
of Christmas. Much as we need
simplicity in all the phases of our liv.
ing" he contends, " its greatest need
is sometimes felt at Christmas. And
it seems a pity that we cannot make
beginning there. We could if we
would simplify this question of pres.
ents: if we would leave out of our
consideration all but the natural
promptings of our hearts. If ever
material considerations should be dis
missed from our minds and lives it
should be in connection with Christ
mas. If ever our friends should see
our hearts--our real inner selves-it
should be on Christmas Day. Not
that we should be other than our real
selves on other days. But as it is, we
are not our actual selves on the day
of all days when we should be. See
how we strive that our present of this
year shall suspass the one that we
gave last year! See how instinctively
we think of the material value of
what we give, and actually of what
we receive! See how we wrong our
selves by leaving needful things un
done and inviting illness because We
feel we must give something of our
own making to friend, when really a
sigh goes into each stitch, instead of
being frank with ourselves, and pleas
ing our friends infinitely more by be-
ing frank with them. and purchasing
something at far less cost to our
health. Every woman knows what |
mean by this: the great evil of max.
ing things for Christmas presents,
when really neither the time nor the
strength can be spared In much the
same way we complicate Christmas
at the table"

ANCIENT ADVERTISING.
Picturesque EmbIems with Which
Tradesmen Once Made Their
Wares and Occupations known.

A noticeable survival of the pictur-
esque old fashion of hanging emblems
outside shops which dealt with the
goods to be sold within, is the sign
of the boot, which one may often see
hanging outside a shoemaker's shop,
says the London News.
Sign boots are made in two or three
standard sizes and of other sizes to
order. They are most commonly seen
gilded, but sign boots are occasionally
finished in some bright color, as, for
instance, brilliant red.
The boot signs may be bought in
the establishment of the dealer in
emblem signs, where there are also
to be found the gilded fishes for the
dealer in fishing tackle, the great
gilded padlocks for the hardware
dealer, and variety of other signs
of an emblematic character.
Besides these familiar gilded O,
painted smaller boots there is occa
sionally seen In front of shoe stores
giant boot, with the foot part per
haps three or four feet in length anG
the leg in proportion, four or five oil
six feet tall.
These great boots, of which the
number used is limited, are made o.
sheet iron or tin and painted. They
are not kept in stock for sale.-Lon

Women are Eligible,

1t may not be generally known that
women are eligible as census enumer-
ators and as clerks in the compilation
of the 1900 census, yet such is a
tact. The rules and regulations for
the taking of the census of 1880 were
so drawn that there was no discrlm-
ination on account of sex. AS a
consequence many women were en-
ployed throughout the country as
enumerators, and in every case did
good work. In 1890 women again
found occupation as clerks and as
census takers, though then as now
the fact that women were eligible to
these positions was not as widely
known as it should have been.

Tax Rule Revoked.

Another important ruling has been
handed down by the commissioner OF
internal revenue in which he revokes
his decision OF October "a, when he
declared that judgment notes under
seal were taxable as bonds and as
powers of attorney. The whole sub
ject has been reconsidered by the
commissioner, end the ruling received
declares that Judgment notes, under
seal are only subject to the same tax
alton as ordinary judgment notes,
namely, Two cents per $Ioo, together
with the IS cent stamp for the power
of attorney.

antarctic ExDIOratIon

In the Strand Magazine, Sir George
Newnes tells the story of the Southern
Cross Antarctic expedition up to Feb
ruary @7 of the present year. What
has happened since then none but the
brave band Of ten determined men can
know until January next. Our winter
is, of course, their summer, and then
the ice will break up and melt and the
Southern Gross, which has returned "a
warmer latitudes during the interval
will steam to Cape Adair once more."It
is the belief of scientists that the most
important work of exploration yet tc
be done lies in the antarctic continent
and the subject has prominent place
at all the geographical societies of the
world,

Decision on Adopted Children.

A new point in the adoption OF
children has been handed down by
Judge Archibald, of Wayne county. in
a case before Lackawanna court. He
decides that after a child has been
legally adopted the court has not the
power to revoke the decree of indent-
ure. The original relation of parent
and child exists, however, notwith-
standing the adopted parentage. The
changed name of the old child re-
mains, but there is nothing to prevent
the child inheriting from its real
parents or they from the child.
