RURAL TELEPHONES.

The rural telephone is rapidly win
ming its way all through the best de-
veloped agricultural sections of the
country. And this is all right. 1t does
very much to mitigate the isolation
and mOnotony of life on the farm; it
puts the farmer in close touch with the
markets day by day, the family physt,
clan and his business associates all
over the county. More than all these
things, it ministers to the pleasure and
comfort of the wife and mother in a
social way, who can without effort OF

NEW lNCANDESCENT LAMP.
Norwegian Invention Described by
Consul General at Frankfort.

In a report to the state department
at Washington Consul General Guen-
ther, at Frankfort, says:
1T is reported that c. Petersen of
Christiania has constructed a new in
candescent lamp which is of interest
on account of its peculiar arrange
ment. For the radiation of light con-
ductor of the second class, which con-
ducts electricity only when heated, is
used, the same as in the Nerst lamp.
The conductor in this new lamp, how
ever, is not q thread, but a small rod,
which is brought to q white heat and
thereby emits light. Around this sec
ond class conductor a thin metal wire
Of good conductivity is wound, which
Is connected with the current conduct
or by eQualizing resisters, which serve
the purpose of heating the second class
conductor and increasing the resist
ance of the current The second class
conductor takes up the greater part of
the current.
This arrangement results in great
saving of the electric power, which
about equals that of a Nerst lamp, but
yields q considerably stronger light"

Points on Decorating 1t With Spring
Flowers.
The decoration of an Easter dinner
table should be joy TO every woman
who can command some spring flow
ers; for, Of course, if available. only
spring flowers, with their promise Of
new life and golden days, would be
ones choice. lacking which. however,
no flower need be scOrned. One can
make a table beautiful with green
alone, particularly such delicate greens
as asparagus or maidenLair ferns or
even the common fern or smilax arts
tically arranged. Perhaps the lOveliest
floral setting for the Easter feast would
be one of white tulips and maidenhair
ferns, says Ella Morris Kretschmar in
the April Woman's Home Companion.
These could be arranged in Il single
piece in the center Of the table, or the
centerpiece could be of ferns alone in
variety and the tulips placed at each
cover in tiny crystal vases only large
enough for a single bloom and it's
leaves. Tulip leaves are very effective
and should never be removed in any
disposition made Of the flower.
Next to the pure white of Easter, in
tulips or other flower, leaving the lily
with its sacred symbolism to its right
full office in the church, this choice
would fall upon something yellow, the
most gladstone of colors and natures
spring favorite. Of these, jonqulls are
probably the most effective.

the hall mark of Scots yernacular as

truslon has often lent additional sad
ness to comic journalism, even, alas,
to the pages of our chief humorous
periodical. In the north of England
mon certainly occurs; in Scottish
speech never. In Scott and Stevenson
one may look for it in vain. The

IN MEMORIAM
MRS. A. S. BOWMAN
Paper Read at the Central Pennsylvania
Conference at chanhersturg

The following paper was read at the
memorial services held in connection
with the Central Pennsylvania confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church
al Chamb ersburg Sunday:
Mary Alice, wife of Rev. A. S. Bow
man, after a Ii ngering illness, quietly
passed to her heavenly home from her
earthly home, the Methodist parsonage,
Hollidaysburg, Pa, Saturday morning,
March 23, 1901. Her husband and chill
dren were with her when she fell asleep.
Mrs. Bowman was born in Danville,
Pa, December IA, lS45. She was the
eldest daughter of John and Harriet
Rockefeller. She was brought up in a
Methodist home and gave her heart to
God in her 18th year under the ministry
of the Rev. J. III. G. Dosh, in meeting
at which a number of her associates were
converted. So clear and bright was her
conversion that she never doubted its
reality. On her 18th birthday she was
baptized and Joined the church. With
the most careful home training, with
clear religious experience, with positive
convictions of duty, with great love for
the church OF her choice, she was we'll
prepared to occupy the throne that
awaited her and to reign queen in the
house of a minister of the Gospel.
On the third day of March, 1874, she
was united in marriage with the Rev. A.
S. Bowman, Rev. Samuel Creighton, her
pastor, and Rev. Samuel Barns, presid-
ing elder, officiating.
A woman of rare grace and unusual
force of character, her influence abides
in the home she made so happy and per-
feet, and in the various activities of the
church in which she took the greatest
interest. In all the places where her hus-
band has ministered she formed warm
and lasting friendships. She was de-
voted, afectionate and self-sacrifcing
mother, most faithful wife and true
help-meet to her husband.
Appropriate services were held in the
church at Hollidaysburg, Monday morn
ing at o'clock in charge of presiding
elder, Rev. J. Ellis Bell. Suitable ad-
dresses were made by Revs. J. McKen-
dree Kelley and t. s. Wilcox. Thence
the body was taken to Danville, Pa,
where services were held in the house of
her childhood. She is survived by her
husband and three children-Martha b. 4,
at home; John r., who graduated with
honors last June from Wesleyan Univ
ersity, and George B., a student in Will
Transport Dickinson seminary.

STILL AT LARGE
The Home Of His Father Guarded Night
" Victims Buried Tomorrow.

~ HlELlulS DQTIe1 4gUUTTSW,
The double murder at Klinesgrove on
Tuesday morning yesterday was the
one absorbing topic. The excitement in
the vicinity of the Gulick home especial
~, is still at fever heat. A searching
party of forty persons, resumed search
Yesterday morning, securing the hills
and valleys in every direction with the
hope of finding some trace of the muir
derer. Another party of q dozen or
more stood guard over the Gulick home
during last night and the night preced-
ing to prevent him, should he still be
alive, from returning and killing other
members of the family. Many persons
incline to the view that the desperate
man has killed himself in one of the
ravines or sought death in the river and
that his dead body will eventually be
found.
The County Commissioners of North
umberland county, however, yesterday
offered reward Of 500 for Gulick's ar
rest There are some grounds for be-
lieving that the murderer was in this
city Tuesday night, if not during yester-
day. The theory is that he crossed the
river between klinesgrove and Chulas-
key. Harrison G. Kase, of South Dan
vile, who was over seeing some work on
his farm on the Northumberland road
about three miles below this city, dur
ing Tuesday forenoon, was struck with
the singular movements of man an
swering the description of Gulick who
crossed his land and took the tow path
for Danville. Mr.. Kase up to that time
had not heard of the murder.
The funeral of the two victims Of the
tragedy will be held Friday morning at
10 o'clock. The burial will take place
in Rush Presbyterian cemetery.

The Real Waldersee.

Of the most civil and respectable per-
SONS in Europe. General Wilson, who
saw him in China, was most agreeably
impressed by him and deprecated the
idea that he had countenanced atrOc-
tiles. His wife, as is well known, is
an American woman, and Americans
who have visited her at home have
brought back admiring reports of the
count who Is pictured as a courteous
