On his YOUTH

party should return to Boston or go to
New York, but Hayes decided, since
the expedition left from Boston, that it
was no more than proper that it should
return there, and did so.
Upon arrival Lieut.. Harris at once
tried to enlist in the navy. but was I'M
able to do SO, and went as noncom-
missioned officer in one of the Massa-
chusetts regiments and served WITT
great distinction. He was retired as a
second lieutenant, and is. therefore
entitled to double honors from both
the army and the navy.

Wood Preservation by Electricity.
A method OF preserving wood BY
electricity is described in a recent
number of Praktischer Maschinencon-
structeur. which is said to be applicable
to woods for all purposes, from that
for railroad ties to that for fine furni-
ture The apparatus used, according
to the account, is simple. 1t consists
OF a wooden box upon the bottom OF
which a lead plate is placed and con-
nected with the positive pole os
the electrical source. Upon this
plate the wood to be treated
is then put and over it an
other plate Connected with the negative
pole. The box is then filed with q
solution OF borax, resin and sodium
carbonate The effect of the current
sing to drive the sap out of the wood
nd replace 1t with the preserving so
Hion. The wood is kept under treat
vent for from Ave to eight hours
sheu 1t is taken out and dried either
the air OF in a drying oven.

Balize to contract for the establish

be ordered in the United States.

Edison At Work ON New Id.a.

Edhon - WORK ON re" Ao0a'
Thomas A. Edison has practically
completed work on his new storage
battery, which is expected. because of
its economy OF space and power, to
revolutionize power and traction, and
shortly, according to Electricity, an
experimental station will be in opera
ton in the buildings of the Edison
company at Silver Lake, N. J. New
buildings have been erected on the
company's ground, and these, with
the old structures will be utilized in
making models of the batteries. In
two months it is expected the battery
will have been completed and il the
results are as satisfactory as the in
ventor anticipates, the work of manu-
featuring for the market will begin.

The perfunct0ry manner in which
constables perform their duties in
many instances in making returns to
court particularly respecting viola-
tons of the liquor law, has met with
condemnation by several Judges anil
the Philadelphia Press says that
Judge Scott of Northampton county
has evidently lost his patience with
constables who make false reports TO
the court about violations of law.
He has notified these officials that he
will deal with them as the law directs
in the event that they are again de-
tected in the perjury which so many
of them commit in making false re-
turns. The particular point is in
reference to reports Of violations of
the liquor laws. Almost uniformly
they declare to the courts that they
know of no violations, when there
are plenty of citizens having abund-
ant information on the subject with
out taking the trouble to seek and
who know that such reports are
false. Under such circumstances
constables' returns have become
farce and subject Of joke rejecting
upon the court which accepts them
in perfunctory way. In all the
coal region counties this has become
particularly pronounced, and the fact
that in Luzerne county alone some
thing like hundred applications for
renewals were refused because re-
monstrances by private citizens
showed the laws had be II violated is
a fair exposure of the operations of
the constables whose business it is to
report these violations from time to
time. 1t is within the power of the
courts to compel these petty officials
to perform their duty properly and
it needs to be done if the courts are
to protect their own integrity. If
Judge Scott carries out his notice
there will be no further trouble in
Northampton county.

General Miles has produced a SEN
satinn in Washington by appearing
before the senate committee on mil
itary affairs and testifying in EN-.
phatic and caustic terms against the
army reorganization hill Of which
Secretary Root is the virtual
author. The general said if the
bill became a law he would resign
and that the measure was designed
to permit the extension Of system
Of favoritism with which he charged
the administration. When the re-
ports of the generals testimony
were first ma'le public by the press
the president WIS seriously incensed
and there were rumors abroad of
another severe reprimand, immedi-
ate retirement of the general, etc.
Such action by president is not
likely, however, as testimony be-
fore a congressional committee is
usually regarded as privileged and
several members of the committee
tell me that TO permit the general
to be censured for his remarks
would establish precedent which
would for all time operate against

OBITUARY


fhihh A. T.. QliJh.
Probably no man In this section
was more generally known than he
who passed peacefully away at his
home in Delaware township Wei
nesday morning. All his long life
he had been a prominent figure in
the business affairs of this com
munity, respected aud admitted for
his persistent advocacy of what he
considered his rights ana as the
consummation Of which he reaped a
large financial reward His ances
tor, Peter Quick, was among the
very first settlers in this section, To-
eating in Westfall probably between
1905 35 and was the progenitor of
numerous family whose name is
widely known. His son, John B.,
married Diana Rosenkrantz and re-
sided at what has long been called
the Half Way House, where he car
ried on an extensive business lum-
bering and farming. In 1924 he
purchased Il large tract Of coal land
in Luzerne county, Pa, and burned
the first anthracite coal used in New
York at the Orange County Hotel
ON Cortlandt street. Concerning
this property a litigation arose
which occupied several years and in
which his son was finally successful
and derived handsome fortune.
Peter A. L. Quick was a son OF John
B. and was born in the Half Way
House Feb. 1, 1919. Subsequently
the family removed to a farm in
Schocopee and there he remained
for several years. April 10, 1858,
he married Catharine A. Angle of
Delaware township. In 1874 they
came to Milford and after residing
here five and in Port Jervis three
years removed to Delaware town
ship, where he became owner of
large farm, and took up his resi-
dence in "Manor Hall" Mr.. Quick
was a man of indomitable persever-
ance, positive convictions and ten
acity Of purpose. During the long
litigation with the company over
the coal land he never faltered in
his purpose and in fact was never
entirely happy unless he had a law
suit on his mind, He was of a gen.
ial disposition and never sought to
offend. In his earlier life he fol-
lowed the business of numbering
and was q skillful waterman and
well known all along the river. His
was familiar form with a per-
sonRlity all its own and few in this
section will fail to utter a word of
sorrow over his departure. The
measure of his days was full but he
was robust almost to the end. Some
weeks ago he went to New
York for treatment but
age and not disease was busy with
frame which had always been active
and untiring and 1t was conqueror.
Surviving are his widow and five
children, Emma, wife of Geo. r.
Smelling, Esq, of Topeka, Kan,
Margaret A., wife OF John w. Nyce,
and Flora A., wife of VIM. R. Con-
nor of Caldwell, Kan, lena of New
York and Lafayette w. of Della
ware.
The funeral services will be held
at the Reformed church IN Ding
mans at p. m. today and inter-
ment in Delaware cemetery.

able report on the Crumpacker resos

Investigate the question Of congress

Consideration among the democrats
who admit that many adult males
in the southern states are prevented

that, we're congressional representa-
tion based upon the number Of vot-
ers, the delegations from these
states would be materially reduced.
They have attempted to start the
cry of force bill, " although moth.
ing is further from the intention
of Mr. Crumpacker and his associ-
ates in the movement. While all Of
the republicans recognize the JUS
tice of the movement there are
some VINO, rather than do anything
which might prrcipitate sectional
animosity,. would permit existing
conditions to remain undisturbed

that the speaker will appoint the

to the character Of the committees

How TO Cure the Grip

Remain quietly at home and take
Chamberlain s Cough Remedy as di-
rected and a quick recovery is sure
to follow. That remedy counter
acts any tendency Of the grip TO re-
suit in pneumonia, which is really
the only serious danger. Among
the tens of thousands who have
used it for the grip not one case has
ever been reported that did not re-
cover. For sale by A. w. Balch g.
