American Locomotives Again.

Paris. June 10.-The Assistant Chief Engineer of the Orleans Railway, when questioned tonight regarding the report that the company was dissatisfied with the American locomotives last year, said:
 "AlI thirty have been running since November, and there is no idea of withdrawing them. But 1t is true that

they burn more coal and that 1t Is slightly more expense to maintain them than other locomotives doing the same work. They were purchased because they were needed in a hurry For this reason the company does not regret the purchase; but the experiment is not encouraging and the company does not contemplate further purchases except in similar circumstances as the French locomotives are equally satisfactory and more economical.
 "The company experimented with American coal last year when quite quantity was purchased under favor able conditions. It proved satisfac- tory. The company is closely watching this question and is prepared to make further purchases of American coal whenever the prices will allow"

Two Snake Incidents.

AS a rule stories of snakes of
wonderful size with fighting in
stincts are largely discounted, and
many of them are sheer fabrications
spun in the brain of some misguid.
ed person who has familiarized him
self too often with what is common
ly supposed to be an antidote for
snake poison. That there are occa-
sionally startling incidents connect
ed with the ophidian family is no
doubt true, and the following, while
seemingly incredible, are yet vouch-
ed for as being veracious:
August Tampier of Dingman
township recently found five rattle
snakes under large fat stone two
were shot and the. others escaped.
Opening one of those killed he
found within it eleven eggs and in
one egg he found five fully develop
ed little rattlesnakes.
The other is that of a large black
snake which Jerry Greening dis
turbed and which ran under a brush
heap. While a boy was going to
the house for match to fire the
heap and burn his snakeship out, a
dog ventured under the pile and
was warmly embraced by the rep
tile which wound itself several
times around his body Two other
dogs rushed to the rescue of their
friend and in short order tore away
the folds and left the snake in sew.
eral pieces. Jerry says it was fully
ten feet long and as large around al
his arm, and that means that it was
of unusually large dimensions.

object lesson which could hardly fail
to have some effect.
The spirit which sets a egang', of
boys, egged on by two or three lead
ing spirits, to torture and kill a helm
less animal is very much the same
as that which insists on lynch law as
a substitute for justice. During the
season, several years ago, when there
was a general hydrophobia scare in
this country, a great many harmless
dogs were probably chased down and
killed at one time or another because
the cry was started by some sensa-
tion-lover that they were mad.
Among people who are in the habit
of disregarding the rights and suffer
ings of others, it is quite as easy for
some thoughtless person to gather a
mob to hunt men; and whatever may
be said of the right of an indignant
community to take the law into its
own hands when crime is clearly
proved, there is no possible excuse
for such an action when the prisoner
is not absolutely known to be guilty.
The statistics of lynch law show that
a considerable percentage of those
who have been lynched at one time
or another had not been proved
guilty, or anything like it; they were
merely suspected. The lawlessness
which caused their death is exactly
the same in greater degree as that of
those young New York wharf rats;
and it ought to be suppressed wher-
ever found.

The Governor has signed the bill
granting a special appropriation to
the East Stroudsburg state normal
school for the erection of additional
new buildings, as well as the bill
making tuition in this school, of
Sl.50- per week, absolutely free to
students, thus reducing their total
expenses to $3.50 per week or $4,000
for the entire year.
Surely this is a golden opportunity
for every ambitious boy and girl in
the state to secure q liberal education
for the mere cost Of boarding. Par
ents should consider well this liberal
proposition made to their children,
as it may not last more than two
years. Remember also, that in adj
dition, the state gives to all who
graduate, a life certificate which ex-
empts from further examination in
the state and is often accepted and
indorsed by school authorities Of
other states.
Consider carefully the Importance
Of these facts, make known to your
friends and neighbors, that the tuition
has been made free, that a new build
ing will be erected, that the fall term
opens September 10th. Engage you
room at once.

A Concise Summary Of the Acts

A Concise Summary Of the Acts
Now in Furce.
Secretary Kalbfus of the state
game commission has compiled the
game laws of the state up to date,
giving all the important points.
The following is his summary:
The fines attached to the violation
of the several sections Of the act of
June 4, 1897. must be paid with
costs of prosecution o. the convict
ed party serve one day in Jail for
each dollar of penalty imposed
There shall be no hunting or
shooting ON Sunday. Penalty $25
Section 1 of the act of May IA,
1889, says "That no person in any
of the counties of this common
wealth shall kill wound, trap, net,
snare, catch with birdlime, or with
any similar substance, poison or
drug, any bird of song or innet. "
Here follows quite a lengthy list of
the birds of Pennsylvania, includ-
ing the yellow hammer or flicker,
and closes with the words "or any
wild bird other than a game bird. "
Penalty not less than $40 or more
than $50. This act is unrepealed
and still the law of the state.
Section 2 Of the act of June 4,
1897, after quoting lengthy list of
the birds of Pennsylvania, says,
''Nor shall any person purchase or
have in possession, or expose for
sale, any of the aforesaid song OF
wild birds or the game mammals
killed or taken in this state, except
as hereinafter provided" (for scien-
tific purposes only, under certifi
cate of the game commission). Pen
atty $40. This is still the law and
should be used by those interested
in bird protection, TO prevent the
killing of our wild birds for decora-
tive or any other purpose.
The destruction of the nests OIL
eggs of wild birds is forbidden ex-
cept "for strictly scientific purposes
under the certificate of the game
commission. Bond 800; fee, $5

Expensive Methods.

Whatever it may be to others it is
no laughing matter for the Sandy
ston taxpayer to know that its
town committee pays one Of its
well-to-do citizens for hauling stones
from off his own fields to fiji a low
place in the public road, especially
when there were stone walls much
nearer that could be had for the
asking, and from which two loads
c)uld have been placed in the road
where one could be gathered from
the field. Their name is legion who
would do the same work gratis to
get rid of the stones why, then,
should the town committee pay for
this? / do believe that if good
business methods were followed in
town management it would so sur
prise many people that there would
be danger that they might fall right
down dead. TAXPAYER.
