At the special meeting of the fire de-
partment held few evenings ago it
was decided to increase the money
prizes from 5000 to $500 in order to ad-
nit free-for-all hose race. Two hose
races will be run on the 1th of August,
one in which only district companies
will compete, and one that will be open
to the world. The sum Of 5000 was
voted by the department for the latter
race, which will attract such teams as
Butler, Union City, Warren and Brad
ford. No town in the state will excel
Dubois in its liberality and great races
can be expected here on tournament
days. Many towns as yet outside the
district organization are clamoring for
admittance, desiring IA share in the
good time that will be had in Dubois
on August 6 and 7.-DuBois Express.

In speaking of publishing country
newspaper for fifty cents year, the
Falls Creek Herald says: "The attempt
topublish respectable country newspa-
per for less than one dollar per year has
been made by some good newspapers,
and that attempt has always resulted in
a failure. The Oil City Blizzard is
published in field much larger than
this, and few months ago the Weekly
Blizzard raised its price from fifty cents
to one dollar a year, giving as its rea-
son that it was not profitable to publish
a newspaper In that small field for less
than dollar year. The Kittanning
Tribune is another OF the papers of this
section that has raised its subscription
price from fifty cents to one dollar year,
and the fifty cent newspapers that the
Herald can think of at the present time
that have not done likewise are not be-
ing published any longer. OF course, all
Of these newspapers announce that they
''have come to stay" and that they are
going to revolutionize the newspaper
business, but the old newspapers are
generally found doing business at the
old stand after the "revolutionists" have
passed of like bad dream" The Her
aid ''predicts that any paper that at
tempts to sell for fifty cents year will
do one of three things: Lower the STAN
dard Of the paper until it is worth only
fifty cents, raise the price, or cease to
be published"

In these times Of plenty and prosper
ity 1t Is not easy to understand what
service the Social Economics Club of
Chicago hapes to render society by a
discussion Of "how to live on $3.50 a
week" No one wants to live on $50
week. If industrial conditions compel
a boy or girl to live on that amount the
Social Economics Club should devote
its intellectual energies to changing
those conditions. There are Russian
peasants and Mexican poems who live
on less than $3.50 week In the East
Indies native may Subsist on less than
for whole year. His wardrobe is not
heavily stocked. He does not care to
obscure the handiwork of nature. He
has no foolish and expensive fads about
waistcoats to crafty. 1t costs nothing
to have his trousers creased He lives
on the bounty of nature unless he hap
pen to be in the famine district. But
why should the Social Economics Club
discuss such a question In America,
where the ambition Is always to I'M
prove the standard of living? 1t may
be there are young men and young
women working their way through our
colleges and universities who are try
ing to live on $3.50 per week. If they
are, they are obtaining an education
at fearful cost. Society is not In need
of highly developed mentalities In
starved bodies. The kind of "educa-
ton" that Is obtained at the expense OF
the physical powers can be of little ben
eft in the long run. Happily we are
| approaching an era of hygienic sanity
when the habit of starving the body to
nourish the brain Is being vigorously
discouraged. Young men and women
are being impressed with the fact that
they are better off without the 'eduea
| ton" that must be obtained by depriv'
ing the body of needed nourishment
| The highest mental attainment, In fact
is only possible through a properly
nourlshed body. The Social Economics
| Club should discuss the question, How
not to live on $3.50 a week"

lection because one of her ancestors
spared the life of one of his forefath-

Indian war some Of the Penobscots,
who had wandered from Maine to the
st. Lawrence, joined the Indians under
the French and made n raid into Eng.
fish territory, including an attack on
Ticonderaga. With the English force
was trader from Boston named Cham
berlain, who got into hand-to-hand
conflict with powerful Penobscot In
dian. In the struggle they clinched,
but the redskin was the better wrestler
and threw the white. Chamberlain
managed to regain his feet and start on
a run, but the Indian overlook him,
and, having picked up club, knocked
Chamberlain down before he could use
his knife. The strength and courage of
the white evidently won the admira.
ton of the Indian, for as he stood over
Chamberlain with club In hand the
Penobscot said in English:
good fighter"
| Chamberlain was accordingly treated
as a prisoner and was taken to the In.
dian village of ST. Francis, on the St
4 Lawrence River. While he was permit.

the Indians kept watchful eye on
him, and he knew he was a captive. He
learned, however, to like the Indian

a fit of Inconsistencies he decided to 90

depart. Chamberlain had won the

to plan for another. In ten years his
plans had so far matured that drill
classes were meeting nightly in Dub
lin and vicinity, and young Irishmen
INDUCED high hopes of freeing their
native land.
What the Irish patriots needed,
though, was skilled military leaders.
These they had not, but the civil war
in the United States furnished a school
for Irlshmen on this side of the Allan
tic In which to learn the art of war and
the skill to command, which they hoped
to be able to practice in Ireland when
the civil war was over. Under Ste
phens' direction active enlistment in
the various Fenian societies was I'M
dertaken In 1864, and secret drillings
were carried on all over the island.
This activity had been preceded the
year before by a convention in the
United States, ut which Stephens was
proclaimed the practical head of the
Irish nation, or, as he was called by
the Fenians, the central organizer Of
the Irish republic. John O'Mahoney
was chosen head center for the United
States.
With the close of the Civil War many
Irishmen who had won fame In the
Union army on Southern battlefields re-
turned to Ireland, having been led to
believe through Stephens representa-
ton that good-siZed army of Irish
patriots had already been organized
and equipped, and was only waiting
for competent commanders. When ii
was urged upon him that the time for
action had arrived, Stephens insisted
upon delay, and he was openly ac-
cased Of being a braggart, of being
vain and altogether incompetent.
What might have happened had the
revolution actually begun no one can
state. The fact Is that the British gov
eminent got wind of stephens plans,
mount, suburb of Dublin, through the
skill Of the famous detective, Dawson,
and on the morning of Saturday, Nov.
II, 1865, the agitator was arrested and
lodged in Richmond Bridewell prison.
Three days later he was arraigned be-
| fore Magistrate Stronge.
He was remanded for examination
but before he could be brought into
court again he had escaped from prison
chiefly through the efforts Of Capt
John Kerwin, who Is now in New York
Stephens made his way to France and
thence to the United States. He was
received with great honor in New York
by the Fenian brotherhood. In 1891 he
was unofficially Informed that If he
would give up all further Fenian agi-
accepted the offer and the closing days
of his life were spent in retirement in
Dublin.

prominent Irishman in or out of Ire
land. He believed in liberating his
country by physical force, and at one
time he was all but successful In
launching well-deyeloped revolution.
Stephens was born not far from Dub
lin and was educated at Dublin Uni
versity. He was great linguist, a
fluent speaker, and is said to have been
the greatest organizer which the Irish
Nationalist ever had. He had a pc
culiar faculty of convincing the masses
that what he said was right and that
what he promised would be fulfilled
He was in the Young Ireland rebellion
of 1S4S, which began with a splurge
and ended so inglodously. Fired by
his association with Irish patriots at
that time, Stephens began, almost as
soon as the rebellion OF '4S collapsed.
