One OF the most notable cases handled by
the Capitol police was the maniac who de-
stroyed considerable public property In the
rooms OF the committee on public buildings

the building after midnight. and 1t required
several stalwart men in blue to subdue him.

whence he had escaped.

The TrolIey Gnrbnge Cnn.

The trolley garbage can invented by
John NJ. Hatton of Des Moines, Ia,

labor saving device, its use being also
recommended on sanitary grounds, as
it removes the garbage can farther
from the dwelling than the housekeep-
er would be likely to place it if trip
to it were necessary every time any
refuse has to be disposed of. In this
arrangement large can is stationed
as far as possible from the house, with
Il wire strung tightly from a post
above the can to Il bracket secured to
the wall near the kitchen door or a con-
ycnient window. On this wire runs
small receptacle, with a cord wound on
a reel to control its journeys to and
from the larger receiver in the yard.
The small can has n hinged bottom
which is ordinarily closed and held in
position by 4 latch, but as the can
slides down the inclined wire this
latch comes in contact with the trip
ping rod above the receiving car, when
the weight of the garbage Immediately
drops the bottom and allows the can
to empty itself. The bottom is then
automatically closed by spring CON
tanned in the hinge, and the delivery
can is ready to be drawn back to the

How Girls Can Help Their Mothers.


Every girl, if she be not thoroughly
selfish, is anxious to lift some of the
burden of household management from
her mothers shoulders on to her own,
but unfortunately many girls wait to
be asked to do things instead of being
constantly on the lookout for little du-
ties which they are capable of doing.
If you would be of any real use in
the home, you must be quick to notice
what is wanted-the room that needs
busting, the flowers which require re-
arranging, the curtain which has lost
a ring and is therefore dropping. And
then you must not only be willing to do
what is needed, but willing to do it
pleasantly, without making people feel
that you are being martyred.
1t is almost useless to take up any
household duties unless you do them
regularly. If you do thing one day
and not the next, you can never be de-
pended on, and if some one else has to
be constantly reminding you of and
supervising your work it probably
gives that person more trouble than
doing it herself would cause.

Every County Receives More Than

RESULT OF REPUBLICAN RULE

figures From Official Sources Which
Cannot Be Denied-The Corporation
Taxes Help Every Township and
Village In the State Under the Re-
publican System of Finances.
Harrisburg Oct 14-Here is a state
ment that is at once startling and
striking. 1t comes from official sources:
There is not a single county in
Pennsylvania which does not get di-
Tectly back from the state treasury
more money than the state collects
from all its citizens, excepting so far
as some of them may be indirectly
taxed as stockholders in banks, rail
roads and other corporations. The
largest excess repaid to the counties
goes to the less wealthy ones having
the smallest proportion of property
subject to state tax in relation to their
population"
SOME REPUBLICAN FACTS.
This is a sample of what the Repub-
lican party has done and is doirg for
the people of Pennsylvania 1t is only
one reason why Judge Pennypacker
should be elected and the Democrats
defeated, because they left a state debt
of $4,000, 600 to be paid off by the other
fellows.
The following figures are taken from
official records here in Harrisburg.
They are given for the purpose of ex-
hibiting more clearly the fact that the
people get back more than they pay
into the state treasury. How is il
done? The corporations pay the taxes.
What the individual citizen pays into
the state treasury is for liquor license,
mercantile tax, tax on money at in
terest, etc
The first column in the following ta-
bic represents the total amount paid
into the state treasury from each
county from all sources, including per-
sOnal property tax, tax on municipal
loans, collateral inheritances, fees of
public offices, writs, wills, deeds, etc,
mercantile. liquor, bi!nard room, brok-
ers, Peddlers and other kind of taxes.
The second column includes the money
returned to each county from the state
in the shape Of salary of judges, appro-
priations for hospitals and other insti-
tutioDs and for schools. The figures
are for the year 1900
Montour American. (Danville, Pa.) 1866-1920, 1902-10-16

From this it appears that there is no
county in Pennsylvania which pays in
to the state treasury as much in taxes
as it receives back in taxes collected
by the state to be turned into the coun-
ty treasury for the purpose of reducing
local taxation. In other words, under
the state tax laws enacted by the Re-
publican party in Pennsylvania, the
corporations pay the entire expense of
carrying on the state government and
pay into the state treasury $7,481, ,4S4
besides, which is returned back to the
counties.
