Almost a CONFEDERATION.

Almost confagration occurred on
Wednesday forenoon of last week at
DR.. Heilman's residence. AS Mrs.
Heilman was in the act of lifting the
teakettle from an open gas cook stove
the flames caught loose canton fan
mel sack she was wearing, and in an
instant spread over her right arm and
side and flashed up before her face.
She quickly threw her apron over the
flame and by means of vigorous rub
bing and slapping succeeded in exiting
uishing it before any serious damage
was done. Only for the extreme pres
ence of mind of the good lady and
prompt action, as a seconds delay or
an attempt to run and call for help, it
would have resulted in loss of life and
destruction of property. We, with all
the many friends of this estmable lady
and family, are greatly pleased at her
success in extinguishing the fire.

Florida Oranges.

The freezes of 1894 and 1895 killed
most of Florida's orange trees down to
the roots, but did not kill the roots, and
sprouts since 1895 have grown into
bearing trees. So general is this fact
that Florida's orange crop this winter
is expected to be about 1000, 900 boxes,
and will be twice as much next year
There is no orange equal to the Florida
orange in flavor and delicousness, SO
that it commands good price. This
years crop will bring, it is believed,
about $1.75 box. In this case the
profit may be as much as in 1893 4, when
the crop was 100000 boxes. Califor-
mia oranges are good, but the Florida
orange is better. According to Louis
vile Courier Journal "the Florida or
ange is the queen of the fruits. Ponce
de Leon searched the peninsula over
for the tabled fountain of youth with
out success, but a wiser man would
have been content with the first orange
grove. The tropics produce nothing
else SO delicate, so refreshing, so pleas
ing to the eye, 80 seductive to the nos
srils and so ravishing to the TASTE"

An Open Letter to DR.. Bardweil on
Electric Light Question.

DEAR DOCTOR
Iadmire you as the only advocate of
electric light with courage to sign his
name to any statement. Now won't
you please tell us why you don't give
us some figures besides your own.
Why did you not give us the figures
from Mr.. Sampson as part of his letter?
1t is figures we want of actual work
done in other towns. Your bookkeep-
er works for you for $50 per year, and
you put down the repairs to 80 arc
plant at $50 per year. When | left
school at Williamsport took a book
keeping course at night school and got
a job keeping books for an insurance
agent for a year and half, for $25 per
month, and thought I was working
dirt cheap, and as to repairs; the man
who pays very little for repairs makes
very little money.
Please note the figures furnished by
the secretary of council:
Titusville, each light. .......... s35 90 net
Watsontown, each light,....... 48 90 net
Dubois each light, ,............ 65 90 net
Milton, each light, ............. 70 90 net
or an average cost of $500 per year
for each light after deducting all in
come for lights sold to the people. AT
this rate 80 lights for us would cost
S1,650 to be paid by taxes besides the
interest and payments on the bonds.
Dear Doctor, the Council will "per-
haps" have more figures for you next
week. Respectfully,
JOSIAH HOWARD.

SOCIAL LIFE AT YALE.

''It may seem, because of it's intense naturalization, that Yale is particular ly open to the charge of introvers1on, on the grounds that the students be- come entirely absorbed in the affairs of their circumscrlbed world. It must be remembered, however, that the col lege is situated in the heart of busy town, the home of select business so- ciety During their sojourn in New Haven the collegians are more or less closely associated with the town lire
 The best houses, are open to them sIne! figure prominently at social gatherings, and not infrequently form tender at tachments which, sadly enough. sell dom reach maturity, but are left to be perpetuated by following classes. So- cial functions of the university, such as the junior promenade, also afford numerous opportunities for contact with society at large. But the col leeians' association with town life ap- proaches the superlative degree when spoken of in connection With delDS s, Traegers, Mory's and Jaques's. Th1s is the other side of the picture; the side which now and again provokes small tempests of invective against the university. A1ory's, among all other places. is famed for it's Welsh rarebit and golden buck; but these delicaeies are not served in the velvet cup nor the tobies which pass around. No, fond parents, these vessels are charged with bona fide intoxicants destined for the inner persons of the objects of your patient care! The jolly fellows drink and seem to enjoy it. They sing and their songs grow suspiciously loud CT. Traeger's Vein Stube' is no less engaged in the evolution of this sort of joy. Helb's, also, and several other cafes almost within stones throw of the campus, are doing thriving busi- ness. mention of which must be in- cluded in a true picture of the college life. .'-Frederick Tilney in A1nslees.

STORY 1N TIVE WORDS.

Probably the most startling piece of news that was ever sent out into the world was the annoinceIhent of the massacre of General Custer and his command in 18f6, says the Cincinnati Inquirer. The terrible news was so unexpected that it came like a bolt from a clear sky. It brought feeling of sickening horror to tue heart O. every man who read it or heard 1t on the street. It passed from lip to lip as it became known in the west and east. There were friends and req
 yes of the murdered men in all parts of the nation. and the gallant com mander was himself a national hero. For two days the nation waited breathlesSly for information regarding the disaster additional to the br4el general announcement of the calamity that had been sent out as soon as the news was known to Bismarck, N. D., which was then the extreme north Western office of the telegraph com pany. That first message was brief one, but after all, it told the whole story. @
 That message was a bit of ''wire talk'' sent from Bismarck to Fargo on the morning of July 5. 1876, and 1t said: "An the Clusters are killed" The message was sent by J. NJ. Carnahan, manager of the Western Union office in Missoula. and it was thus sent eastward. From Fargo it was repeat ed to St Paul, and St Paul sent ii. in turn. to Chicago, and from there it was passed along to cities, towns and hamlets, telling it's brief but terrible story tersely, but completely. There was but a single wire east from Bis marck in those days, and the govern ment business had the first call upon this. Consequently Operator Carna- han had only time to flash forward this brief message of general informa- ton before he was compelled to begin the transmission. of the official report of General Terry to the war depart ment For twehty-four hours he sat at his key clicking off this mass of official correspondence. All this time the eastern papers were clamoring for news. MT Carnahan obtained the per mission of Colonel Smith, the member of Terry's staff who brought in the official dispatches, to make up short "speciaI' from the information con- tained in the reports of the officers. This special was sent to the New Aork Herald, and is believed to be the first authentic news of the Big Horn mas sacre that was sent out aside from the official dispatches.
