Term Shortened in Order 10 Provide Officers
Tor the Navy.

An order has been issued by the
Navy Department and forwarded
TO the Naval Academy of a three
years course Of the Naval Academy

made on account of the pressing
need of naval officers. The present
first class, which would have grad
uated in June 1908, vii, graduate
in February of that year, and the
class of 'o4 will graduate in Febru-
ary instead OF June, 1904. The

Manager Stillwell Skips.

L. M. Stillman, manager Of the
Huntington Valley Canning Company
at Town Line, has skipped and it is
alleged that he got away with thou
sand dollars OF the company's money.
Stlllwell came from Luzerne to take
charge when the cannery was project
ed and superintended the building of
the plant and installing of the ma
chirery. When the plant went into
operation he managed the canning
operations. He was not given con-
troll OF the finances, however, but
secured the funds, it is claimed, by
having shipment of goods for Scran-
ton consigned to him. He disposed
of the goods and pocketed the pro-
ceeds, it is alleged. 1t was supposed
he was away attending to the busi,
ness of the company until late last
week when mis- family left Hunt
lngdon Mills where they had been
living since spring. When the officer:
took the matter up they found the
above state of affairs existing

Charlie and he said:

MAMMOTH ELECTRIC PLANT.
To be Installed at Muncy Dam to Furnish
Power 10 Surrounding Towns.

Work on the Muncy dam is
about completed, and once more it
is in good order 1t is stated bv
authority that it is the intention of
the canal company, or some other
corporation growing out of it, to
erect huge electric plant near the
dam, by the power of which cleo
tricity will be generated and con-
veyed to Williamsport and Muncy
north and to Watsontown and Mil.
ton. and likely Lewisburg, south,
at which places it is proposed to be
sold to manufacturers and others,
in the way of power, for all pur-
poses at a less cost than it now
costs the same parties for power by
the old plans. 1t seems to be a
thoroughly practical thing, for
thousands of horse power of energy
go to waste at this point hourly,
which, if confined, must furnish all
that can be used in the distric,
named, From the dam to William
sport, over the mountain, it is like
ly 10 or IL miles, while Muncy is
within four miles, and Watsontown,
Milton and Lewisburg within 6, 10
and IA miles, respectively, all of
which makes the proposition prac-
ticable. -HAghsS57He Mail

HISTORIC STAGECOACh.
Preserved In the Postal Museum ut
the National Capital.

One of the most interesting relics Of
obsolete postal service to be seen at
the museum in Washington, says the
Washington Post. is an old time Rocky
Mountain combination passenger and
mail coach. built in 1S6s. This was
among the first OF its kind to carry the
mails in Montana, the route OF this par
ticular coach being from Helena to
Bozeman. the trip consuming a week.
The residents along the same section
now receive four mails daily. The
coach was donated to the museum by
S. S. Huntley, general manager of the
Yellowstone Park Transportation COM
pany. 1t was captured by Indians in
1877 and recaptured after a hot pur-
suit by General Howard. Many dis
tlnguished persons have Travelled In II,
among them being General Garfield, be-
fore he was president; President Ar
thur, on a visit TO Montana in 1888,
and General Sherman, on a tour of in
spection in 1877. The latter was pas
senger when the coach made the dis
tance from Fort Ellis to Helena, los
miles, in eight hours, six horses being
the team, with frequent relays.
This antiquatod affair on wheels is
the simon pure, typical stagecoach of
the Beadle dime novel The James
brothers and the Fords may have en-
riched themselves by looting this iden-
tlcal relic OF the west There are
front and rear boot. the former, under
the drivers seat, being the repository
of Uncle Sans mail bags, the rear boot
serving to carry baggage. Heavy
leather springs and iron tires to the
wheels half an inch thick enabled the
vehicle to withstand the rough usage
TO which 1t was subjected. With ca
pacity inside for nine people, others
riding on top and beside the driver,
with slots in the sides of the coach
through which rifles could be aimed. it
seemed evident that knight OF the
road had to be of reckless mold to
tackle one of these once week 'ex-
presses"

MASON'S VERACITY
IS CHALLENGED
Tsstifies to Paying Four and Five
Dollars for Family
Washing.

Four and five dollars at time for
couple of days washing of the family
linen is what Tom Mason, an ernploye
of wilder's Steamship Co. testified to
Yesterday in the Police Court as haV-
ing been in the habit Of paying during
the past three months to Juan Maral-
ia n Porto Rican woman who is charg-
ed with violating the social and other
laws. Judge Kaulukou, who appeared
as the attorney for the woman, called
Mason as a witness to show that the
woman had obtained money in iegiu-
mate way. She is also charged with
having stolen watches and other jew
elry in her possession.
Judge Kaulukou was 10th to put MS
client on the stand, and thought that
the prosecution had not made out
strong case. Judge Wilcox, however,
was of a different opinion and the tes-
tirnony of the defense was called Tor
Tom Mason was thereupon put upon
the stand and surprised the court by
telling of the high rates he was in the
habit of paying to the Porto Rican
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth sug-
rested that a Chinauan would do the
lob for less than half the money, but
Mason stated that his wife was i'll and
II was necessary to have some one in
the house to do the washing instead OF
having it sent out. The statements
made by Mason were quite unusual
and the Deputy Sheriff emphatically re-
minded the witness Of the penalty for
nertury. The veracity of the witness
was pIuInply challenged. judge VIII
cox was of the opinion that Mrs. Ma
son vas necessary witness and the
case was continued until today.
1t Is believed that some sensational
evidence will be produced in court this
r1,orrine, regarding the testimony. 1t IS
believed tina: the WOman's friends are
