An Opinion on the Curfew

There having been some talk of adopt
ing the Curfew in Tionesta, we print by
request the following from the annual
message of Mayor McCrum, of Titusville,
on the question:
THE Curfew Ordinance at the time of
passage was consider ed by many as a
doubtful experiment, but belieye it
now has the endorsement and support of
the entire community. No harsh means
have been required TO enforce it, and the
parents of our young rising generation
cannot but see the good resulting from it
to their children,
"OGten our hearts are panied by the ev-
idence, especially on the part of boys, OF
a possible career of crime. 1t is not un-
common to be called upoG to intercede in
their behalf, and solicited to shield them
from the consequence of violations of the
law.
"a close investigation of the cases will
reveal the fact that lettering on the streets,
away from home and home influences at
unseemingly hours of the night, lead to
their first steps in wrong doing.
81 can say in brief that it is success
and has proved all that its most sangnine
supporters expected of it, After one
years trial we find it has accomplished
much good. However, will say, very
much depends on the good judgment of
those who are intrusted with the enforce
ment of the ordinance"
Very Respectfully,
j, j. MCCRUM.

Talking about reforms, an up town
man who has O. identity been victim
more than once, wants to file vigorous
kick against the fellow who goes around
all week with unshorn locks and then
has the nerve to go into the barber shop
on Saturday night and have his hair am
putated while lot OF fellows have TO wait
all of them being fierce enough to mutter
that they wished it was his head instead
of his hair that was coming off. But Of
course YOU have been there aud know all
abou. it, and II will continue to be so un-
til a generation of baldheaded men ap-
pears.-B Butler Times.
Walter Colegrove, sou of Prof. A. d.
Colegrove, Superintendent of the public
schools of Cory, was accidently shot Fri
day afternoon by Bert Judge. Both boys
are eighteen years of age. They returned
from school and went to the Colegrove
barn in the Iear of the family residence
to equip themselves to go hunting. Judge
took Coolegroves sho tgun and aimed it
at his companions head, saying "halt,"
and at the same time pulling the trigger,
fIe did not suppose the gun was loaded.
The discharge carried off the side of
young Colegroves head and also his ear.
The victim has since died.
Papers in a suit for criminal libel
against l.. Emery, Jr., were served
Wednesday. The plaintiff is P. C. Boyle
of Oil City, who charges the defendant
with "maliciously and unlawfully print
ing and publishing a certain false, scam
dalous and libelous writing Of, and con-
cerning, the plaintiff" The publication
was made in the Bradford Record on
August II, 1900, and was copied from the
Franklin Leader, which used an editor
ial from the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can of September IL, 1899 as the basis of
its story. The piece was headed, "To
Oil Producers" Tho publication ar
raigned Mr.. Boyle as witness before
the Industrial Commission in Washing
ton last year, and criticised him severely
for his testimony. Tho case will be
heard Nov. 20, before Alderman Egbert
OF Bradford. The same article published
in the Record was also used in cam
paigu circular.

Years Do Not Burden Him.

President Diaz Of Mexico is ap-
preaching the allotted years Of man,
but, like most elderly men, will not
confess that age is telling on him.
Powell Clayton. United States minis
ter to u neighboring republic, re-
Gently told a good story of the vener-
able statesman and soldier. One day,
after having dined at castle Of Cha
pultepec with the president, they Wis
tied the military academy Of Mexico.
Here in the gymnasium the students
were taking exercise, and many Of
them displayed great skill in rope
climbing. One of these ropes was 40
feet long and hung from a ring in the
roof. Suddenly, with a smile, Presi-
dent Diaz stripped of his coat, and,
grasping the rope, began to climb hand
over hand to the top. He came down
in the same manner and with as much
a S as any Of the students. He was
hardly even out of breath when he
reached the ground, and laughed when
Gen. Clayton helped him on with his
coat.

him, out of the victories he had won
in art, he declared. He wrote a letter
to the park board denouncing the soci-
ETY. and the judgment Of its committee.
They were unfavorably disposed to-
ward him because he was not a mem-
Der of the society, he said, and they
had come with their decision prepared
beforehand. There was an art trust,
he said, with an Office in Wall street,
which controlled the public art Of the
city, and non could break in saw
those who were favored. He begged
for another judgment by untrammeled
experts, by sculptors who were not
controlled by the trust. The appeal
fell upon deaf ears. The park board
referred his passionate letter to the
society against which it was directed
and nothing NOR was heard OF 1t.
Then the government of Venezuela re-
fused to pay him for his work. The
statues of Gen. Sucre and Gen. Paez
had been sent to Caracas, but the
statue of Liberty was still in the foun-
dry. Turini was in despair. He had
no money and he knew not where to
turn for financial assistance. The
mortgage on his house fell due and the
property was sold. When the Dewey
arch project took form the sculptor
threw himself into the work with some
of his old-time ardor. Possibly he saw
in it a chance to regain his place In
the artistic world. He toiled cease
lessly on a colossal figure, and so en-
crossed was he in the work that he
forgot to eat. On the morning Of the
eighth day of his labor he seemed to
be the victim of great mental depres-
sion. It may be that he felt he could
not complete the work he had under
taken. When he had dressed himself
he staggered into his wife's room and
fell dead across the bed.-New York

Railroads.

Method Of Destroying Them In Use by
Railroads.
At this season of the year one Is
reminded Of the annual contest wage1
against growing vegetation to preservv
railway tracks in clean condition. Es-
pecially is this true Of the dirt-bal.
lasted tracks in the western states,
where the expense entailed in keeping
vegetation down by grubbing with a
shovel is a formidable figure, COM
pared with the expense of the same
work where tracks are ballasted with
a good quality Of gravel. For many
years western roads have resorted to
numerous experiments for killing veg
citation, with machinery, the most
successful of which has been the
scheme Of subjecting it to %scorching
heat produced by burning crude Pc
troleum under a shield carried a few
inches above the track. Machines Of
this description are used IN the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe and Chicago
Great Western roads. In the construc-
ton Of this weed burner use is made
of an ordinary fiat car, on the front
end of which Gas it runs in service) is
mounted an upright thirty-horse-pow-
er boiler and a pair of engines. By
means of sprocket chain connection
between the engine shaft and car axle
the car is made sel%f-propelling. After
some experience it was found neces-
sary to connect the second axle of the
truck with the first, or that driven by
the engine, by means of a sprocket
chain, in order to overcome slipping
due to the looping of long weeds over
the rails. BY this means of locomo-
ton a speed of from ten to twelve
miles per hour is easily made, as
when running for stations to meet
passing trains. The water supply for
the boiler and for e%xtinguishing fires,
which may be set accidentally, is car
ried in a wooden tank in the center
Of the car. On top of this tank there
are two air reservoirs, and inside OF
the forward cab there are two air
pumps for creating the air pressure
necessary to spray the oil into the
burners. The burner rigging is sus-
pended from a rear platform, built
upon four Trails. The shield and
burners are hung from the outer end
of this platform upon bell cranks, and
an old reverse lever and quadrant are
used to adjust the burners to the de.
sired height from the rail. The burn
! ers are easily taken down when it is
desired to couple the car in with 8
train. The oil tank for supplying OF
to the burners is located inside the
rear cab or just in rear Of the water
tank.
