To Pension
Employes

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, through it's board of directors. Is formulating a plan for pensioning it's old men and retiring them to that rest which they have earned by long and faithful service. The pension plan is now in the hands of committee. and will be perfected and submitted to the board of directors at the October meeting for adoption. It will involve the expenditure of $9o0,000 or more each year by the company, and it's immediate effect will be to retire a hundred or more employees who have passed the allotted three score and ten years of life, or who, by reason of sickness or accident, have become dis- abled or incapacitated for active duty.

One Of the euriosities Of recent phtlo- logical literature is the appendix to the 1893 report of the British registrar general, which bears the suggestive ti- tie. "surnames in Ireland" From that compilation one who has an eye for the curious may glean facts and figures for most interesting article. For in- stance it is shown that the most com mon name on the Emerald Isle is Mur- phy, the number of persons, great and small who bear the cognomen being 62,60O.

CLIMATE SHOWS FEW CHANGES
weather Conditions Now About the
 Same as in Ages Past.


 From Popular Science: This subject is of extreme interest and merits most thorough study. We find the "earlyp and the "latter" rain today In Palestine precisely as described 3,5oo years ego. Jordan overfows all it's banks in February today exactly as if did in Joshua's time, thirty-three cen- turies ago. Plants taken from mummy cases in Egypt, which must have been gathered more than 5000 years since, are practically of the same size and have the same appearance as those growing today. Records of vintages in France over TOO years ago show prac- tfcal1y the same dates as today Actual observations of rainfall for over 200 years in France show no change. Ob- serYations of temperature for almost 200 years at St. Petersburg show no change appreciab1e to us, though, of course. the earliest observations were extremely crude and somewhat unreli- able. Facts of this kind might be ad- duced to fill a small volume. On the other hand, we have records of most extraordinary cold weather in ancient time. One winter light wine in France froze Another winter the River Pc froze over so as to bear teams, an un- heard-of phenomenon today. In this journal for June it is stated that Par nassus and Socrate now free from snow. were covered with it in classic antiquity Also "the name Greenland, which strikes us as so singularly in- appropriate, was not inapplicable at the time it was named, in the four- teenth century" It is entirely proba- ble that descriptions of the cold in an- cient times were much exaggerated. Parnassus and socrate have snow at times, and, in earlier days, when pro= lection against the cold and snow was much less than now, a little snow would go a long way. The earlier Yoyagers from Iceland, more than q thousand years ago, leaving a land of almost perpetual ice and snow. and reaching q land in summer with it's beautiful green color to their unac- eustomed eyes, would very naturally give the name of Greenland to it. At the summer time it is said that Green land presents most beautiful green near the Danish settlements to this day. Our oldest inhabitants, who have been wont to describe the terri ble cold and deep snows of their boy hood days as ineomparably greater than anything which does or can oe- cur today, have completely lost their reckoning the last winter when reading of ship that had sunk in New York harbor by the weight of the ice upon it; also that Washington had had thir- ty-four inches of snow on level and the lowest temperature ever noted h that fair city. am sure careful study will show no appreeIable change In the climate of this earth since the early historic times Of course nothing here adduced touches climatic changes in glacial times or in prehistoric times, which changes have been established beyond question.

kEYEE 5S LOCK.
Is the Latest Innovation Proposed for
 Postohice Boxes.

Washington Times: There is more than $400,000 of the peoples money locked up il postoff1ee keys, each and every keyho1der being required to put up with the postmaster a deposit for his key, the amount deposited being re- turned when the box is given up and rent paid Postmasters are required to keep a strict account of the key de- posit fund, while the postoffee depart ment here has regular division set apart for keeping this account. As postal official puts 1t, there is great deal of trouble and no money in the transactions, and the final outcome of the trial of the keyless locks which are to be tried in the principal offices of the country is eagerly looked for. The department has long wanted key less lock- but none of the lock inven- tions until the present was regarded as in any way calculated to prove ac- eeptable. Contracts have been made for a supply of the new locks, which will first be tried in New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and St Louis, as the largest and most impor- tant offices.and then in St. Paul, Minn.; Cleveland, Ohio; Hartford, Conn; Madison, Wis, and Rockford, III. These offices will be fitted oSt as soon as the factory can complete the mak- ing of the boxes. If they prove in every way satisfactory to the department and to the patrons they will be placed in offices throughout the country, but not to the entire exclusion of the lock boxes. 1t is the belief of the postof1ee department that the keyless box will nrove a blessing.

QUEER LocKET.
And the Peculiar History That Made ii
 Keepsake.

a Keepsake.
 New Orleans Times-Democrat "Yes, this is rather a peculiar locket and got it in rather a peculiar manner" said cotton buyer of this city when somebody remarked the quaint little trinket attached to his watch chain. The locket was of gold, and an ordi- nary fve-cent piece was set in the lid, surrounded by a circle of eolofed stones. The effect was odd and not inartistie. The story is briefly this, " continued the speaker. About three years ago l was en a street car In Chicago, when one of the passengers, a very nice looking young lady, diseoy cred that she had no money in her purse. The conductor was disposed to be ugly about it, and, of course, I in sisted on paying the fare. giving the girl one of my cards at her very ear nest request. Over a year elapsed, and the incident had entirely faded from my mind, when one day was walking along St. Charles street and was hailed by lady from a cab. She proved to bC bhe Sdl14C OlE H0OoG CdI 1sti t detd paid in Chicago, and had recognized me immediately. although I had hard work recalling the original encounter She told me excitedly that she had been on the lookout for me ever since, and also that she was in the city with some relatives en route for home after a trip to California While she was talking she was searching her purse for a nickel, but had no change. I laughed, told her not to bother about it, and gave her another card. A few weeks later I received this 1ocket with a very charming letter, which I prize highly. have had remarkably good luck ever since have worn the little gift, and I am superstitioas enough to regard it as a sort of mascot. By a queer coincidence the coin chances to bear the date of the year of my birth.

OYSTER FISHING IN FUTURE.
Submarine Boats Will Make the Bivaive
 More Accessible.

uAOEc <ACCSSStDlSs
 The submarine boat will revolution :ze the oyster industry. When in Ches- apeake bay cruising the old Afgonaut frequently settled down on oyster beds and, with the permission of the owners, procured all the oysters desired by reaching down through the sea door. The new Argondut can employ this method of gathering oysters, rising to the surface when her diying-room is full, or send out divers, who can place the oysters collected in buckets or re- eeptacles, which those on the surface can haul up. When bays and rivers are frozen over and aystermen cannot ply their trade the Argonaut can go under the ice. Fishing can also be carried on easily on the bottom with nets, for the fish have no fear of the object they evidently consider a whale, and swim from every direction toward the glare of the electric lights shining through the ports. Sponge fishing will engage the attention of the first suc- cessful submarine voyagers. Good sponges are becoming dearer, for the supply in shallow water is running short. The divers cannot go deeper than twenty-five feet, and the best sponges are found in deep water. To this deep water the Argonaut will go and, gathering the finest sponges, put them on the market at price no great CT than that paid for the common va- rieties. She will also try pearl fishing, now conducted at an enormous expense of life. for by strange freak of na- ture pearl oysters are generally found in localities where bad weather pre- vails and hurricanes and typhoons are frequent. These the Argonaut, under the water, need not fear, and her div CTS, insead of gathering up the oysters by the single handful, can gather them hy the bushel.-Lippineott's.

Make an Interesting Ffn6,

Some chalk diggers have made an interesting find of skeleton at Swans eombe Kent, England. 1t was that of a short, very thick-set man, and it Is thought he was probably Roman. A careful search was made fer coins or weapons, Or anything that could give a clue to the period or nationality of the skeleton, but nothing was found except some fints. rudely shaped with some kind of splitting or chipping im- plement The skeleton must have been where it was found for many hundreds of years. It was in the heart of a chalk hill which had never been exca- vated before.

THEY CANNOT VOTE FOR ADDICKS

No one can deny that Mr.. Addicki
is the leader the life and support o
the Unicn Republican party, and thai
it was organized by him and for him
and is maintained with his money anc
exists solely for him.
He breathed upon it the breath OF
his life. and Il became his organiza-
ton. Its members are his agents, and
they all approve Of, if they do not prac-
tice, his methods of corrupting and de-
bauching the voters OF this State. There
would be no Union Republican party
without Mr.. Addicks. 1t is, in fact, j.
Edward Addicks trading as the Union
Republican party, the sole object and
purpose Of which organization is tC
elect ]. Edward Addicks to the Senate
of the United States.
In our recent election, at the pri-
maries for nomination of candidates
for the Legislature. there was an active
and bitter contest between the Regular
Republicans and the Addicksites. The
only issue at the primaries for the
nomination Of these candidates was,
Would they, if elected, vote for or
against Mr.. Addiclzs? In some Of the
districts the Addicksites won, and in
Others the Regular Republicans won
At the election the lines we're thus
clearly defined and established. Ger
tain candidates were nominated as
Regular Republicans, who, it was
known when nominated, would not
vote for Mr.. Addicks for United States
senator and others were nominated,
who, it was known, would vote fol
him.
At the election the Addicksites used
their personal influence and money to
defeat the election OF the Republican
candidates. Such means were used to
induce Republicans TO vote for the
Democratic candidates, thereby defeat
ing the Republican candidates. The
Republican members of the Legisla-
ture were nominated as anti-Addicks
men, were voted for and elected as
anti-Addioks men. and they cannot
therefore. vote for Mr.. Addicl1s with
out betraying the party and the men
who nominated and elected them. They
cannot vote for Mr.. Addicks without
leaving the Republican party and be-
coming members Of his organization
and followers OF him. II would be as
reasonable to expect a. member Of the
Legislature who had been elected by
the ProhibitiOnists to vote for the un-
restrained sale of liquor, as to expect
a Republican to vote for Mr.. Addicks.
We, therefore, say that under no circum-
stances or conditions should the Re
publicans vote for Mr. Addicks; that he
is not a Republican; that he is a po-
litical freebooter and outlaw, and that
the members Of the Union Republican
party are simply his followers-noth
ing more. nothing less.
