This is wooden paddle about two feet
long. designed to restore conscious
ness to patients who have either taken
poison or who have lapsed into
comatose condition from the effect of
too much liquor. This little instrument
is decorated with such legends as "The
way of the transgressor Is hard"
"Slumber, sweet slumber, nit" and
similar sentences purporting to be in
a jocular vein. "The awakener" Is used
upon the soles of patients feet. The
shoes and stockings are removed, and
then the paddle Is applied with full
force. Most of the patients respond
to this treatment within 10 minutes,
but sometimes, where drugs have been
used. ''the awakener" is kept busy for
an hour or even longer.

Frustrated by Alcoholism.

were as upright as yourself who have
been FRUSTRATED by alcoholism. Per-

that there is a strong probability that
under the same circumstances you
yourself might have been captured.
The two appropriate emotions for you
to allow are indignation at the intoxi-

out OF his present environment; rec
ommend any hygienic relief that you
know OF and, above all, implore the d.
vine rescue for the struggle in which
so many Of the noblest and grandest

self up to too many philippics about

ought to have done. While your cheek
fiushes with wrath at the foe that has

Those Franchises.

1t has been known for some time
that negotiations have been going on
for consolidation of the traction
roads controlled by the by the Mellon in
terests with those of the Consolidated
Traction Company.
Yesterday afternoon it was an
nounced that the deal had been closed
in Philadelphia, Monday by Andrew M.
Mellon and that by its terms the lines
operated by the Monongahela Street
Railway Company and the Birmingham
Traction Company are leased to the
Consolidated Traction Company.
The deal is said to cover the new
charters obtained by the Mellon in
terests, and it looks toward the gath
ering of all the surface roads in. and
about the two cities under the owner
ship of the Philadelphia company.
The interests connected with the
proposed elevated roads had no part
in the deal, but are of course affected
by it, as it means the combination of
all surface railway interests in oppo-
sition to the elevateds railway projects.
The immediate effect was a determi-
nation ON the part of the promoters of
the elevated roads to withdraw the
pending ordinances and discontinue
work upon. them. The charters will
be held, and If in the future the need
of better and ample rapid transit
facilities is SO keenly felt as to create
a general demand for elevated road the
work will undertaken Pittsburg Com

The Amendments.
(Communicated.)

During the session of the legislature
recently ended, two proposed amend
ments to the Constitution were passed
which will come before the people at the
polls in Noy One of these amendments
if adopted, will open the way for the
enactment of registration laws and for
the classification of the State for cleo
ton law purposes; the other will open
the way for the use of the voting ma
chine.
The Union Committee for the Promo
ton of Ballot Reform and the Merit
System in Penn'a was largely instru-
mental in having passed the registration
amendment 1t was formed with this
end in view, and the passage of the Bal
lot bill. Its efforts were concentrated
on these two measures. The Commit
tee has no interest in the voting ma
chine amendment.
Before the registration amendment
can become effective however, it must
be approved by the people. Its passage
by the legislature was merely prelimi-
nary to the decision of a popular vote
whether or not it shall adopted. This
will be decided at the November cleo
ton.
Even though adopted the amendment
will work no immediate change in the
election laws of the State There ap-
pears to be popular misconception re
garding this point. Its only effect will
be to unite the hands of the legislature
and give to the latter power which it
does not have now Until the adoption
of the amendment the legislature is pre-
Vented from passing any adequate reg
Aistration law by reason of the provision
Of the Constitution to the effect that no
man shall be deprived of his vote be-
cause he is not registered. This little
provision renders Ineffective any regis
tration. The adoption of the amend
ment will bring it within the scope of
subsequent legislatures to enact such
registration laws as may be deemed
best
Nor again is it mandatory that any
such future legislation shall be passed.
The amendment simply makes such ac-
tion permissive not obligatory.
The amendments are in no sense par
tisan in their effect upon the future of
any of the political parties of the State.
They are advocated by leaders of all
the parties and antagonized by none.
Personal registration laws are even now
in operation in New York and Massa-
chusetts 1t is only question of time
when they will have to be accepted in
Pennsylvania, and the registration
amendment will open the way for them

Miss Myrtle Cooper.

At the first regular meeting OF the
teachers of the borough, Supt Gibson
after welcoming the new teachers into
the ranks and noting the many changes
of the year, spoke feelingly of the loss
sustained by the corps in the death of
Miss Cooper. A committee, appointed
to prepare resolutions expressing the
esteem in which Miss Cooper was held
by the teachers and extending to the
parents their deepest sympathy, report
ed the following:
Since it has pleased God in His infin-
ite wisdom TO call Miss Myrtle Cooper
from field of labor among us to a
house not made with hands. it becomes
us to bow submissively before Him
whose ways are not our ways and to
consider that naught but duty and to-
day are ours, the future belongeth unto
God.
Though her stay among US was brief
she had endeared herself to all with
whom she was associated by her cheer
full disposition, conscientious discharge
of duty, and sympathetic nature
Many a life was made better by her ex-
ample of devotion to principle and
Christian forbearance under trial.
The teachers of the Butler Schools
employ this method of extending their
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
parents with whom they mourn a loss
which God alone will compensate in the
glory of His eternal kingdom.
