The August New LippinCott.

The August Complete Novel in the ''New"
Lippincott Magazine will make the reader
forget even the thermometers condition
while perusing its intensely absorbing pages.
The author is comparatively unknown, this
being her first long story. She is Ina Bre.
WORT Roberts and she lives in New York,
where the scene of her novel, called "The
Lifting of Finger" is laid. Her Gtory opens
at a colonial ball give by the members of the
smalt set. Interest centres in Margaret
Winthrop VIII was to have been married or
June first to man who "set up for saint
and turned out TO be the devil himself in
disguise" His particular sin was running
away with an actress. To girl of Margarets
spirit this was crushing, but her pride was as
strong as her love and she attended the ball
and tried to appear as if nothing had happen
ed. In this she was helped by Francis Belllmy
the graceless brother Of her hostess, who
seemed to DC oddly sympathetic with the
innocent girl When few weeks later in
vitations were received for Margarets mar
riage to Francis Belamy on the very day
set for the other wedding, a profound sensa-
ton was created, though only the two them
selves knew Of the strange compact they had
entered into. How it turned out is most en-
tertainingly and vivdly told by Mss Roberts
There is not halting line in the whole
story.
Owen Wister writes a splendid story which
should not be missed by any alumnus or
undergraduate of "Fair Harvard" 1t is
called PHILOSOPHY A."
"a Goddess on a Pedestal" by Maud
Appleton Hartwell, is little society farce
in the form of letters which are both subtle
and funny, in the heart history they depict.
Cyrus Townsend Brady contributes to the
August ''New" Lippncott one of his humor-
GUS missionary yarns. This has not been
equalled by any yet published. 1t is called
'Brother Pidgley Saves the Day"
a Pan-Amercan sketch by Henry Collins
Walsh is entitled "a Rose and Thorn"
and there is a very amusing camp.meeting
story, appropriate to the month of religious
teIvor, called "The Intervention of Gran

Readers will welcome the first of series
of Ohio Pastorals by Paul Laurence Dunbar.
"The Modification of the Flesh" is about
two Ohio farmers and widow. 1t is in

Worm at Potatoes.

The devastation wrought by the
potato bug has been dwarfed into IN
significance this year by the ravages
of small black worm that is working
great havoc in all parts of the State.
Farmers discovered its presence when
the potatoes became of marketable
size. 1t is now more plentiful than
ever The growers know of no way
to combat it. 1t is likely that the de
partment of Agriculture will be asked
to suggest some method ofridding the
stalks of the pest.
The potatoes have also suffered
during the past week from hot weathe,
and lack of rain. 1t is doubtful II
there will be full crop IN any district
of Pennsylvania.

Gncluding breakfast), August a4th.
S. Excursion to Niagara Falls,
Queenstown, Lewistowr, etc, as de-
scribed.
6. Tickets will contain coupons
for each item mentioned. The ex-
cursionist need not be concerned
about any of the details.
7. Excursionists will be taken on
between Bloomsburg and William
sport, at Danvle and West Milton,
provided notice is given beforehand.
From Wllliamsport the cost will be
$I7.oo. No reduction will be made
to points lying between these two sta
tions, and no stops for passengers
after leaving Williamsport.
WHAT is NOT INCLUDED.
1. Each excursionist will purchase
his own tickets for entrance to the
Exposition. This is fixed expense.
Some will desire to enter ottener than
others. So it is not feasible to In
clude this.
2. For similar reasons lunch is
not included.
8. No street car tickets are in
cluded. None are needed.
4. No stop-off privileges, nor ex-
tension of time, can be granted. The
two days half and the four evenings
afford ample time to see the entire
Exposition. l believe more time
would be superhuous for the average
person. Those who desire to prolong
their visit, however, to ten days, can
do SO by paying SIS 90 extra, but this
must be arranged for when ticket is
bought. This will give them the same
hotel accommodations, and enable
them 10 return on regular train Thurs

6. No guides are furnished. 1t is
easy for anyone, by the aid of maps
of the Exposition grounds, which will
be distributed on the train, to make
out a plan of procedure for himself.
All will not desire to spend the same
amount of time on the same features
of the Exposition.
A REQUEST.
Please read this article carefully. l
am arranging this excursion by re-
quest of friends, not for profit, and l
am using my vacation time to do it.
l do not want to take the time to an
swer unnecessary questions. All
needed information is here given. In
my opinion, this excursion provides
ample time for anyone to visit the
Exposition without being hurried, and
is as low in price as is consistent with
good service.
1t is necessary, In order that l may
perfect my railroad, hotel, and other
arrangements, to know as soon as pos
sible who are going. So please notify
me at once. The sooner l receive
your decision, the better care l can

LONDON, July 23.-Professor KCsh OF

Does Advertising Pay 2
John Wanamaker Spends 81, 900 a Day on
His Philadelphia Store.

The question is SO frequently asked
by business men, "Does advertising
pay2" John Wanamaker pays over
$1,000 day just for advertising his
Philadelphia store. He uses a page
advertisement in five different daily
papers of Philadelphia. They are as
follows: Press, $4,000 LeHgey,
10000; Times, $4,000; MorM
american, $4,000, and the E9ening
Telegraph, $4,000. Up to about a
month ago Mr.. Wanamaker was using
a page in the RecorH at the rate of
$4,000 year, which would have
made an annual expenditure of $3.50,
500. When he wanted to renew his
advertising contract with the Reeord
the publishers asked $4,000 more,
or a total of $I12,5oo. Mr.. Wana-
maker refused to pay the amount,
thinking no one else would pay that
sum for the page. The proposition
was made to Lit Brothers, who ac-
cepted without moments hesitation
and they are now paying the enor-
nous sum of $II2,5oo for the use OF
page in the Record for one year.
The circulation Of the Record now
runs about 100000 copies day. If
advertising does not pay how can
firms spend fortunes every year for a
single page of newspaper

PITTSFIELD, Mass, July 24.-The
prosecution, represented by District At
torney Hammond, rested at 1925 o'clock
yesterday in the trial of Robert S. Fos-
burgh for the alleged killing of his sister
May. The conclusion was as sudden as
it was unexpected, j being known that
there were witnesses held in reserve.
There have been many sensations during
this trial-the case being sensational
enough from its very mysteriousness-
but there was bolt as from n clear sky

of the session, when Judge Stevens or

Land Hungry Crowd.

LAwroN, o. T., Aug. 14.--A move ment has been started here among homeseekers who lost to have the gov ernment open up the three reserves in the land lottery which it set aside in the Lawton district, before opening At a meeting of 100 or more it was de- cided to petition the interior depart ment to at once take such action. These reserves embrace 5S2 ,500 acres, or about 3,3S0 quarter sections. The land held was in reserve because the government anticipated that the cattle. men who had all of the Kiowa-Co anehe country le;ssed for pastures would not be able to find pastures in Texas or other cattle-raising sections readily. If the cattlemen can round up their cattle and get them to the government reservations this fall, the homeseekers argue, they can find pas lures somewhere else by next spring The homeseekers are willing to buy the land outright from the govern, ment.

the indefensible position of doing noth- ing itself or allowing any one else to improve this great natural reservoir site.
 2. We firmly believe that the inter- ests of humanity dictate that the In dians should be gathered on the reser- vations, have lands allotted to the in severalty, and that they be furnished with farming implements aud an inex- haustible supply of water for irrigation of their lands, to the end that they may become self supporting. By this means will home life be furnished for the Indian and he will more rapidly advance in civilization as a conse- quence. He will abandon his nomadic life; his children will be kept at home and educated in neigh borhood schools, instead of being sent tc large Indian schools at distance where they are kept (as it would seem) for mere purposes of show. After being in structed in the arts of civilization for Q time they are returned to savagery to become more unhappy and discon- tented than if they had never received i the questionable advantages. We feel that the present policy of the Indian department is all wrong in this regard 5. The Pima and Maricopa Indiar reservation contains 350, 1000 acres of as fertile land as lies within the bound aries of Arizona, and is admirably adapted for homes for these people, as well as the wandering Papagoes, whs are now compelled to prey upon th' herds of our farmers and ranchmen fo subsistence.

Pinal county was organized in 1875 from portions of Pima, Maricopa and Yayapai counties, and contains an area of {, ,s6e square miles, or s,iss,520 acres. one-third of which could be made productive by systematic storage of the surplus water now running to waste. Next to Maricopa it is the most important agricultural county In the Terri tory. It Is trayersed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad. and branch of the great santa Fe system is now ap- preaching from the north. The objective point of this road is connection with the Sonora road, of the same system. The Southern Pacific Is also building in this direction from Tempe, and it is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coal fields arc reached and con- nection Is made with another branch of that road running from Bowie to Globe and now completed to Fort Thomas.
 Thus it will be seen that Pinal county is the theater of railroad building at the pres ent time, and inside of year Florence, the county seat, will be
