Change 1t.

Once more the necessity of thousands
of families moving out of their houses
into several inches of mud argues most
strongly for the moving Of moving
day from April to May l. The change
will work no inconvenience to any one
if managed rightly. All that is neces
sary is the drawing of al house leases
to end month later than ut present,
and then people can move III sunny May
instead of rainy muddy April. And
think of the good that will result. Nov
ing in the mud destroys more religion
in the average man than the church car
accumulate in him in six months. After
moving it takes six months for him tt
recover his religious status; the next sly
months he can accumulate small fund
Of extra goodness; then moving day
comes again, knocks it all in the head
and the last state of that man is worse
than the first. because he is year Older
and wear nearer salvation or damna
ton. By all means in the name OF
humanity, christianity, religion and tho
widows aud orphans let moving day
be changed.

No War i'm China.

Both the Russian and English troops
by agreement of the Generals, withdrew
from the disputed ground at Tien Tsin,
early last Friday morning.
During the latter part of the week
the Japanese government sent vigor-
GUS protest to the Russian government
against its secret treaty with China and
its occupation of the province of Man
churia.
The Shanghi correspondent of the
London Times, wiring Tuesday said:
Il am informed on the best authority
that the Chinese court has instructed
Lii Hung Chang to inform the ministers
of the powers that China has refused to
sign the Manchurian convention and has
also notified all viceroys TO the same
effect.
1T ia further asserted that the court
seriously contemplates a removal of the
capital from Peking."
Lord Cranborne, the under secretary
for the foreign Office, answering ques-
ton in the house of commons Tuesday.
said the provisions of the agreement be-
tween Russia and China, so far as the
government saw, would apparently
affect British trade in the parts of China
to which the agreement applied.

Somewhat Previous.

MR.. EDITOR-Having received let
ter from Judge Greer, a short time ago
informing me that he is going to be a
candidate for e-nomination and re-elec-
ton as Judge, l began to inquire as to
how long he will yet hold his office, and
learned that his present term don't
terminate until the first Monday of Jan
uary, 1908.
We have a primary election called
for the first Saturday in June, this year,
and when received letter from the
Judge / at first thought that he was
thinking that his name would go before
the people at the primary this year; but
this is not the case.
Under the circumstances it seems to
me in very bad taste for MIR. Greer to
force his name before the people at this
time Surely he could afford to wait
until the present canvass is over before
thrusting his name before the public
again.
Our township (Clinton) has always
given Greer a hearty support.
voted for Greer, then young man,
for District Attorney; later on l voted
for him for the State Senate. At the
end of four years he insisted on another
nomination to the Senate; and by some
means he succeeded, though it placed
us on bad relations with Armstrong
county to which the nomination belong
ed. Later on he was made our candi-
date for Judge in this district, this time
he was beaten. But, intention holding
Office he secured the appointment to
the position of Inspector of Soldiers Or
phans Schools-this he held for several
years. When the time came for elect
ing another judge Greer, was again
made our candidate and this time he
was elected And now, almost two
years before his present commission ex-
pire5 he is notifying the people that he
wants another term He may have done
very well where he is, but is it not
about time for change? l believe the
Republicans of Clinton township think
so. We will see later on. Yours etc.

Whose OK il Gored?

Reform and economy as they are
found at Harrisburg are just in spots.
The Senate recently passed bill abol-
ishing-the fees of certain offices in Phil
adelphia. Tue House amended the act
to abolish the fees of certain State offices.
Yesterday the Senate refused to concur
in the amendments.
The dominant faction III the Senate
thus goes on record as bitterly opposed
TO the collection of fees by local officials
not friendly to its political interests. but
not opposed to the extravagant fees oi
its friends, the Secretary of the Com
menwealth, tie Insurance Commissioner
and others on Capitol Hill As a matter
of fact, the neglect of the Legislature u
substitute salaries for the fees of those
Offices is next door to a scandal. 1t Il
we'll known the fees of both far exceed
the salaries of the Secretary and Com
missioner, though their salaries are o.
inviting proportions
When genuine economy is pracucet
about Harrisburg there will be no fee
in addition to salaries, and some sala
ries will be cut in twain. Then the
revenue of the State will be larger auC
its running expenses smaller than a
present. There will be more money TO
the charitable institutions or schools, o.
a lower rate of taxation will be possible

ther away from her and presently when
she sank down exhausted in a swamp
the light disappeared altogether.
Whatever truth there may be in the
story, it forcibly illustrates the career of
many a woman who has followed the
marsh fire of love in the belief that it led
TO home and comfort and found herself
at last exhausted and deceived.
IT's BITTER LESSON
learned by many woman who thought
love all-sufhcient, that love alone cannot
be the foundation OF the home 1t needs
health. Strange as it may seem the
beautiful loving woman who is weak
may lose the love of the husband for
whom she broke all home ties, while on
the other hand woman who has no.
greater dover than robust health may
win and hold the love of her husband
past all possibility of loss The first re-
quisite of marriage is health. The wife's
first necessity is health. Health must
be the mothers or she will know no
happiness in her children. What makes;
ill-health so common among women
Why do they suffer with headache, back
ache and pains past description These
sufferings are in general caused by dis
ease of the delicate womanly organs, and
they are in general durable by the use of

been treated by several country physi-
clans, and also had some of the best city
physicians prescribe for me. They all
said my case was incurable and was a
chronic disease of long standing, but,
thanks be to God and your great med
icine, I have found relief at last, and
soon will be cured sound and we'll again

HARRISBURG.

Uncle Jerry Roth of Lehigh has in
troduced a bill, providing that any
man who does not get married until
after 40 years of age must pay Sl00
extra for his license and if he goes into
another state and gets wife, he must
pay tax Of 500 on returning. All the
funds derived are to be paid into the
State Treasury and are to 90 toward
maintaining three homes for old ladies
over 40 years of age, who have not had
a suitable opportunity or offer of mar
riage, and have not the means sufficient
to keep themselves in clothes and spend
ing money.
The homes are the Elmira Home al
New Castle the Baptist Home in Phila
delphia and home to be erected at
Clearfeld If the bill becomes a law,
it is never to be repealed except with
concent of majority of the aforesaid
cold ladies" Woe unto the old bache-
lors, for they shall be taxed.

NEIGHBoRHooD NOTES.

The first open move made for the en-
trance of the Wheeling d Lake Erie
railroad and the Wabash system into
Pittsburg was revealed Monday, when
an ordinance was introduced into Pitts
burg Councils for franchises TO operate
the Pittsburg q Carnegie railroad over
the. proposed Ferry street bridge and
within the city limits.
A female negro who died at Franklin
Pa. few days ago had three living
husbands and at her death bed they
were all friendly and chatted pleasantly
together, the dying woman seemed to
give her last husband, precedence over
and preferred him to wait on her. 1t is
strange case, and it is alleged that No
legal separation had ever been given to
the deceased
Mrs. Mary Hartman of Elmira. N Y,
had been visiting Mrs. T. B. Curtis at
Pardoe Mercer county. Sunday night
the ladies occupied the same room and
at o'clock Monday morning Mrs. Hart
man awoke screaming with fright at
the noise made by an alarm clock in the
room. Mrs. Curtis tried to calm her,
but the fright made Mrs. Hartman sick
and in a few minutes she died from
heart failure.

Obnoxious Amendments.

The amendments to the Guffy ballot
bill proposed by the Stalwart leaders,
if reported correctly, amount TO a null
lification of the principle of the bill.
The first amendment is to retain the
ssparty circle" and the second is to re-
move the safeguards which the t1uffey
bill aims to throw about the assistance
given to voters in the preparation OF
their ballots. The first is a measure to
enable dishonest election officer to in
validate a ballot by marking a single
cross in the circle and to enable a
watcher outside the booth to know
whether the citizen votes straight
or split ticket The second is intend
ed to permit briber to follow voter
into booth to make sure his bargain is
carried out.
The resistance of the Stalwart lead
ers to these two most important reform
: provisions is highly discreditable, both
in impugning their good faith when
they are making pledges and in dis
closing their adherence to corrupt prac-
tices. The plea that'party voters desire
the retention of the circle to make the
act of voting easy is a mere assumption.
If it were true, then the circle would
be in plain violation of the guarantee OF
the Constitution that every citizen shall
haye an equal show at the polls.
The Constitutionmakes.no mo distinction
between the party voter and the inde-
pendent. Upon this point the Secre.
tary of the Commonwealth once decided
that candidates by nomination papers
were as much entitled to circle at the
top of their column as candidates by
certificates, and the courts upheld him.
Despite that ruling politicians cling to
the circle, so the inference is that its
charm lies in the fact that after the
voter has marked in one circle it is easy
for someone else to mark in another and
then throw out the ballot as defective.
The bill presented in response to
Senator Quay's challenge to Mr.. Guffey
is entirely reasonable" Senator QUAY
stands pledged to its support. If he in
tends to keep faith he ought to promptly
inform his friends that ballot reform
means the removal as far as possible of
opportunity for fraud or bribery. Dis
patch.

STRAY BY MISCHIEV-

Illustrative of the banefu1 power of the
marsh fire, there is told the story of a
woman who lost her way. She turned
in this direction and in that, hopelessly
puzzled as to her whereabouts in the
inurky night. Presently ahead of her
she saw the gleam of light At once
she saw in fancy the picture of home, the
lamp in the window, the cozy comfort of
those under the shelter of the protecting
roof, vcurtained and closed and warmn
Steadfastly she moved towards the light.
But as she moved it seemed to change
its position. 1t was always little far

A Wonderful Case.

Seventeen years ago Charles Washburn,
then "a years of age, had his side badly
hurt in railroad wreck near Chicago.
He came back to Allegheny, and en-
gagged in painting, and afterwards in
the grocery business. For the past two
or three years his side has frequently SO
panied him that he could not bear any
body or anything to touch it and his
physicians treated him for assesses of
the liver.
A month or SO ago, he was startled by
the overturning of lamp in his house,
he tried to grasp it, fell to the floor I'M
conscious, and remained so till next
evening
When he recovered consciousness his
first question was, Was much hurt
referring to the railroad accident of
seventeen years ago-and his wife and
children, doctors and friends were total
strangers to him.
He knew nothing of his home or bust
ness, electric cars or any other public
improvements-not but his name
and the most remarkable feature of the
case is that his sore side is completely
cured.
