PROSPERITY FOR TRUSTS ALONE.

An investigation of the conditions of
living seems to account for the dissatis-
faction In the ranks of labor. The cost OF
the necessaries of life has advanced 20
per cent in the past three years. This
advance is due to the operation of the
trust, or combine system, great corpor-
ations gaining a monopoly of food or
other necessary products, then cheaper
ing the cost of production and advancing
the price to consumers. This advance of
20 per cent in the price of the necessaries
Of life falls with crushing force upon
the workingman. On the other hand, a
trust cheapening of the cost of production
ingman's expense. The ultimate meaning
of these truths is that the monopoly
trusts are prospecting, but that the great
mass of people are now in a worse plight
thar ever before. The w~orkingman, the
consumer, the retail dealer, the individual
business man, all suffer in order that the
trusts may thrive. The result is tnat d
few hundred men in this country are
growing immensely wealthy at the ex-
pense of the people. The evil is one that
calls for a prompt remedy, and the appli-
cation of the remedy is well within the
peoples power. The political party re-
sponsible for the creation of the trusts.

the merits of the bread to govern them.

ONE OF THE
SURVIVORS

Water Commissioner Henry l.. Gross,
aside from Benjamin Benzbach, is the
only survivor of the older group of
Hebrews who settled in Danville more
than fifty years ago. These facts yes
terdav We're brought out in very pleas
ant conversation with the veteran gent
leman in which he recounted his ex-
periences in getting start in life. For
over three years he followed the voca-
ton of peddler For six months with a
pack upon his back he tramped back
wards and forwards over the counties of
Center, Juniata, jefferson, Cleartield
and Elk Then he purchased horse
and wagon and on a larger scale he re-
tailed goods over the same route.
In 1854 he opened a store in the Bas-
sett building, Mill street Three years
later he moved to the Meyer Lyons
building, where he dealt in peddlers'
supplies In 1858 he bought the build
ing occupied by Conner Thomas, Mill
street, and four years later added to it
by purchasing the building now occupi-
ed by Henry Rempe. He then moved
into the latter stand where for % years
he successfully conducted his business,
retiring in 1887.
Mr.. Gross was born in Altdorf, Baden,
GERMANY. February 13 1928 In 1851
he set sail for America. He and Ben
iamin Benzbach came over in the same
sailing vessel the voyage occupying 33
days.
Mr. Gross has always enjoyed the con
fidence of his fellow townsmen. He
served in council altogether 4 terms or
twelve years, representing the First and
Third Wards For forty years he has
been a member of the B'ne Zion con-
gregation.

M. E. CONFERENCE
DOWN TO WORK

The Central Pennsylvania Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church opened at Bellefonte yesterday
morning, with Bishop John NJ. VALID
en in the chair.
After the sacramental service DR. S.
G. Swallow arose and after referring
to the death of Rev. f. B. Riddle,
whom, he said, had been recognized as
the "noblest Roman of US all, - read a
letter from Mrs. Riddle notifying the
conference of the death of her hus-
band.
Rev. DR.. Wilcox was elected seCre-
tary. Rev. R. J. Allen of Riverside
was appointed first assistant to Rev.
Conway Dickson, the Statistical Secre-
tary.
At II 40 clock the Conference went
into executive session to consider mat
ters relating to the DR.. Swallow con
troversy. The point at issue as far as
could be learned seemed to be whether

tried behind closed doors. Dr. Swal-
low, himself, prefers trial i'll public,
and insists upon such. The supposi-
tion is that the doctor has gained his
point.
DR. Swallow was accorded the warm
est kind of reception by his breth
rem of the ministry when he arrived
at BellefOnte on Tuesday, which re-
vealcd the fact that he has many warm
sympathizers He was met at the train
and kept pretty busy shaking hands
during the remainder Of the day. The
temperance anniversary was held
Tuesday evening. Among the speak
ers We're Rev. S. b. Evans of Milton,
Rev. Amos 5. Baldwin of Lock Hav-
en-, W. H. Swartz Esq, of Altoona,
and Rev DR.. W. f. Stevens Of Car
Isle. The gist of the several address
es was that the time has come when
it is useless to fur ther appeal to
the individual--the traffic itself should
be dealt with. High license and other
measures have failed. What now is
needed is destruction, not restric-
ton -

THREE GREAT DAYS
OF HOLY WEEK

To-day is the first of the three great
daysof Holy Week Holy Thursday. To-
morrow will be Good Friday followed
the next day by Holy Saturday. These
days commemorated by the Catholic
church will be devoutly observed IN
Danville as they will be the world
over.
Each of these days has a character
of life and living action, which forms
the very essence of dramatic represent
alton and an attentive observer will
not fail to notice the progressive and
deepening tone of feeling which the
successive days are calculated to pro-
duce with such contrasts and partial
alleviatiOns as are necessary to give
it vigor and dreserve its poetlcal pow
er. And this is owing to the fidelity
with which the representation follows
the original scene. During these days
the office is all sorrowful, but with
out any public demonstration of NOM
ent until the tenebrae of Wednesday
afternoon removes the veil and shows
the church in mourning in the solemn
chant of the office, the Lamentations
es' and 1.-THE Miserere. Thursday
checks for a moment the course of
grief. 1t is dedicated to the commem
Grafton of the institution of the Bless
ed Eucharist and the sending of the
-F hn n
vestments are white; the GLORIA i'll
Excelsis'' is sung and everything in
dicates some mitigation of growing
sorrow for still the vein of religious
melancholy may be distinctly traced
running through all the office. When
this tribute of more joyful gratitude
has been paid every barrier has been
broken down to grief the altars are
stripped not only of every ornament ,
but of the daily ordinary coverings and
with them every part of the church
is barred and uncovered. The purple
color worn on Sunday is changed TO
the deeper hue Of black and then the
church is left without her incense or
taper, mourning and solitary as on the
loss of an only -begotten son. Good !
Friday is spent in this abandonment of
unspeaking sorrow, without q service, |
without chant
The first dawn of consolation is al
lowed to appear on Holy Saturday
when the tidings of the Resurrection
are communicated. The alleluia is an
nounced and in the Gloria of the mass
the organ and bells mingle with hu-
man voices. Such are the principles |

OLD FAMILIES OF VENICE.
Their Fortunes Are Dissiputed and
Thcir pnlncca sold.

Their Fortunes Are DissipHted and
Their Palaces sold.
Very few Of the fine old palaces OF
Venice belong to the descendants Of the
families who built and originally occu-
pied them. Very little Of the enormous
wealth for which Venice was ceIebrat-
ed IN the fifteenth century remains.
The most Of it has been dissipated by
the descendants Of the men who made
It, the same as in England, France and
other countries. The rich men of Ven
ice today are an entirely new class Of
people whose names do not appear i'm
the Golden Book, which contained a
list Of the patrician families in Venice
who were invited to festivities at the
palace This book was instituted i'm
1915 and thcncpfurth until the Aus
trian occupation was the index and
standard Of nobility by which all claims
to precedence We're decided.
Occasionally the grand council, by
vote rewarded the gaIIantry or public
services Of some citizen of humble
birth by directing that his name be in
scribed upon its pages None but those
whose names were in the Golden Book
could use the golden stairs when they
entered Il dOge's palace, ana when this
right was conferred it was equivalent
TO an order of nobility in another coun-
try. There is one notable exception to
the decay of the ancient families, and
he is Count Grimani who traces his
lineage back to one of the most fa-
nous Of the dogcs, whose portrait,
painted by Titiau. hangs in the council
chamber Of the dOge's palace The
Grimani palace is on the Grand canal,
near the Rialto bridge, and is cele-
brated for its finely scuIptured CAPT
tails
Many of the rich men in Venice to-
day are Jews. They practically control
the banking business and manufacture
ing. They own the fine houses of his
toriCal interest and the best paying es-
tates on the mainland in the neigh
borhood. The present wealth of Venice
is invested not SO much in real estate
as in banking, manufacturing, flour
mills, elevators, gas companies, cotton
mills, the manufacture of glass and in
steamships upon the Adriatic-Chicago
Herald.
