A Pennsylvania hunter. whose name
unfortunately has not been given to
enrich the literature of bear hunting,
told the Philadelphia Press this story
the other day: He was out with a
party after bear not far from West
Munayunk. The party separated. This
particular hunter penetrated leisurely
into the thick woods. Presently he
heard the noise of grunting and slight
scraping. The grunting was that sat
isfied kind which expressed supreme
pleasure. Cautiously peeping through
the underground the hunter was
amused to see a monstrous black bear
standing straight and scratching his
back against a hickory tree. The hun
ter swears he hadn't the heart to shooy
the brute in the midst of his delight
full exercise, so he considerably re-
tired a short distance in order that
bruin might finish his scratching with
out the annoyance of impolite intru-
sion. When the hunter peeped again
10 see II the bear had got through
and was ready 70 be shot, the big beast
was gone, and he could be found no
more that day. That hunter ought 20
tell his story 10 President Roosevelt,
and get a collectorship or something
equally as good.

THE GALLows THE REMEDY.

In his sermon on Sunday night the
Rev. Bascom Anthony said that he be-
lieved in the old-time gallows and old
time hangings as a remedy for murder.
We are satisfied that a very large per-
centage of the people of this city agree
with him.
It is true. as the Rev. Mr.. Anthony
says, that murders and murderous as
saults are becoming altogether too
common. Last week there was a terri
BILE tragedy in a gambling house on
Broughton street, and just prior to
that one of the most prominent citizens
of the county and his servant were
shot to death on one of the public
roads. In the Morning News yesterday
there was an account of another MUIR
der that was committed early Sun
day morning. We mention these three
murdes and one murderous assault be-
cause they were all committed with
in a very few days.
The officers of the law appear to be
doing their duty, but the gallows is
not called into use as often as it ought
to be if we are to have immunity from
these crimes of violence. Now it is
the commonest thing for a man. if he
feels aggrieved. to draw a gun or a
knife and attempt to take human life.
The taking of the life of a human be-
ing is thought no more of apparently
than the killing of dumb beast. Sure
ly something ought to be done to
change this condition of affairs-to
compel respect for human life.
1t is as the Rev. Mr.. Anthony says
i'm respect to pardons. A man sent to
the penitentiary for life or for long
number of years for killing or attempt
ing to kin human being seldom or
never serves out his full term. II
often happens that he remains in con-
finement only little while. His crime
is forgotten and influential friends
work upon the Governor and the Par
don Board until they succeed in get
ting a pardon for him. The Rev Mr.
! Anthony is right A few old-time
! hangings would do an immense amount
/ of good in this county.

BETTER SCHOOL ADVANTAGES.

There is undoubtedly growing SEN
timent in this state in favor of better
public school advantages. In the cam
paign for the gubernatorial nominal
ton all of the candidates expressed
! themselves in favor of improving the
public school system. They did not
refer to the counties in which there
are large towns, because IN these
counties the schools are satisfactory
in fact, they are about as good as the
public schools are in any other part of
the country. The reference was to the
rural districts.
1t is evident that the state, owing
to the very large appropriation re-
quired for pensions, will not be able
to assist the public schools for a num-
Der of years to any greater extent than
it is at present assisting them. If
therefore the public schools of the ru-
raj districts are to be improved the
people must put their hands into their
pockets, just as the people of Chat
ham and some of the other counties
which keep the schools open nine
months in the year do.
There are two bills pending in the
Legislature which have for their OBJ
ject the Improvement of the public
schools in localities where a majority
of the people want to improve them.
They were both introduced last Fri
day. Senator Lee of the Forty-fourth
district is the author of one of them
and Senator McMichael of the Twenty
fourth of the other. Under the law as
1t is at present it requires a two-thirds
majority TO justify the levying of To-
cal tax for school purposes in a county
or militia district The purpose of the
bills is to change the law so that only
a ma jority of the voters win be neces-
sary.
Legislation along the line of these
of a great deal of good. We are salts
fed that there are very many counties
that would tax themselves for school
purposes if the law were changed as
proposed. In such counties the ma
jority of the voters favor a tax, but
II is Impossible 10 get LMO-lnlTuS VI
them to favor it. The educational
awakening in this state is becoming
more apparent every day. The appli-
cations for places in the Normal School
and the attendance at the sessions OF
the summer schools lately established
in the South are evidences of it. In
every one of the rural counties there
are scores of boys and girls who would
be only too glad of a chance to get a
better education than the present
school facilities of their respective
counties afford them.
There is no good reason why it
should not be placed in the power of
majority of the voters of a militia dis
trict or a county to levy a school tax
to supplement the money for school
purposes received from the state. 1t is
probable that the two-thirds provision
of the present law was intended to IA
vor those who are able to send their
children to better schools than can be
found at home. If the Legislature
legislates in accordance with the bills
of Senators Lee and McMichael it will
do what the people want done.

A Washington special in a Philadel-
phia paper says that Postmaster GEN
eral Payne will discuss favorably in
his annual report the proposition to
establish penny postage" One-cent
postage. of course, is what is meant.
We already have as near to penny
postage as it is possible for US to have.
The penny, a British coin. is worth
approximately two cents in American
money.

THE Story Corbin Told the King
has been one of the topics discussed
in Washington clubs ever since the
cables brought the news that the
American general had RECALLED the head
of the British nation with a choice
narrative, at which the King laughed
heartily. 1t appears now, however,
that there is still another story-"The
Story the King Told Corbin." What
this latter was, however, nobody has
been able to find out. so far. How
ever, diplomacy is stin at work upon
the matter, and it is just possible that
after a time the eager public may be
able to laugh, as corbin laughed, al
the humor of the King.

AS result of the recent steamship
combination, under the manipulation
Of Mr.. Morgan, there is to be a gem
eral weeding-out Of clerks and minor
officials Of the Atlantic Transport
Company at Baltimore. Probably a
majority OF the clerks will go. and
those minor officials retained win hnd
their salaries reduced. That is the
way the trusts work. They increas

A dispatch from Ithaca, N. Y, says
that the late Mrs. Elizabeth 'Cady
Stanton willed her brain to Prof. Wild
er of Cornell. and that it will be placed
in his collection of brains of famous
persons in Cornell. Prof. Wilder, who
is famous neurologist, has quite a
large collection of brains ranging from
those of degenerates and criminals to
those of persons of the highest order
of intellectually. The former are dis
played in the college museum, but the
latter are kept in his private office.

1t is said there will be an effort
made to have the New York Legisla-

Tense of his son, Roland b. Molineux
who was recently acquitted of the
charge of murder upon a second trial
According to the Sun, Gen. NIolineux
has not decided that he would accept
the states aid. 1t seems that action
of this kind taken by the Legislature
would establish a precedent likely to
prove annoying and very costly to the
taxpayers.

Attorney General-elect John Cum
neen of New York, who will be the
only Democrat in the new administra-
ton of that state. has disappointed
many of his friends. From utterances
by him made some time ago it was ex-
pected that he would begin a vigorous
warfare on the trusts as soon as he
took charge of his office. This belief
was strengthened by the fact that the
Democratic state platform contains a
strong antitrust plank. However, a
day or two ago Mr.. Cunneen said:
There is no reason or necessity for
heroic measures in dealing with the
economic conditions which exist to-
day. Great, combinations of CAPITA
have been formed to meet the expan-
sion of commerce. Where these COM
binations pursue their respective lines
Of activity they are not criticised or
opposed" A Republican could hardly
have said anything more to the liking
of the trusts.

The New York Board of Education is
thinking about establishing and oper-
ating a printing plant. Some of those
who are in favor of the scheme figure
out that the board will be able to save
$500 a year by doing It's own printing,
and they point out that Boston has
operated a city printing office sue
cessfully" for several years. So has
the United States government oper-
ated printing office successfully for
a number of years; but it has not been
operated with economy or satisfaction.
And. if we remember rightly, there has
been a good deal of complaint about
the Boston printing office. Wherever
the overnment-municipal state or
national-goes into the manufacturing
business, the plant quickly becomes a
political machine and the cost of it's
products is higher than that of similar
articles produced by private enterprise.

The talk about an extra session of
the next Congress to consider the ques-
ton of revising the tariff may be in
teresting, but is not entitled to much
attention. 1t is hardly probable that
the President has given much thought
to such matter, much less reached a
decision in regard to it. The talk
is that the extra session will be called
in March, Immediately after the ex-
piration Of the present Congress. Many
things are likely to happen in the next
three months having a bearing upon
the tariff question. 1t is a safe state
ment that the President hasn't decided
upon an extra session next March or
at any other time

 The ahove figures show that Water bury must gain 4S,S61 more in popula- ton to secure another representative, but the same, number of people dis tributed through sixty-foT towns Will send sixty-four additional representa- tivcs.
 Norwich must add 25,363 to it's popu~ lation to gain another representative, but distribute those same people pro- portionately in small towns and you will give those towns forty-four new representatives.
 Meriden must gain 21 ,305 in order to secure another representative. The same number of people will add forty representatives to small towns, and what is true of Meriden is also true of New Britain.
 Wallingford must gain 40,999 to se- cure another representative, but the same number of people will gain fifty eight representatives in small towns. Waterbury and New Haven must gain S9,934 in population to secure two representatives, but put S2,289 people in small towns and you will gain eighty-seven representatives.
 Study the figures of the situation as you will, make whatever comparisons you can and everyone of them will prove conclusively the injustice of the plan of representation which was jumped at by a majority of the con- stitutional convention on the eve of ad- | journment, no careful consideration of debate having been engaged in, and the whole combination being accepted as a makeshift with hurry born of dis gust and desperation.

HORSE MEDICINE FOR VINEGAR
Members of Hook and Ladder Go Were Enjoying Fruits of Their Labor.

Members of Hook and Ladder Go Were Enjoying Fruits of Their Labor. Dreams of pastoral life have placed a number of the members of Hook and Ladder company No 1 and Engine company No 2, stationed in the Sco- will street engine house, in the care of veterinary surgeon. They so long for glimpse of the farm, of desire to be close to the ground, that they took advantage of an opportunity to indulge that presented itself in the l form of a patch of ground in the rear of the house. True, there was some dispute as to what should be planted there. Some held the ground was favorable for onions, others for celery,
 some for parsnips and some for pota
 toes, because it was feared that ow- l ing to the continued rain of the past 1 few days there would be a corner on
 the gruber. But this difference of
 opinion dwindled down to choice be-
 tween onions and potatoes. Lots
 were cast to make the selection and
 onions won.
 The seed being planted, the men took turns in watching for results. Very
 soon, to the great surprise of the anna l teur farmers, the onions, or what was
 supposed to be onions, showed them selves. They grew very rapidly.
 Some of the men say they grew so rapidly that it seemed they were try ling to oyertake car coming down North Main street. Eventually they
 were large enough for the table and two or three nights ago merry com pany of fremen sat round table on which were raw onions swimming in
 what was supposed to be vinegar. Of course there was something with the lonions. Some say there was a cold
 bird or two, but that makes no diff ference; the principal thing was the
 onion. The men had a hearty time, because they had the capacities of hardworking men, but when the feast was over and their pipes were going one of the men got very sick, then an other followed suit, and soon they were all wondering what was the trouble. Investigation showed they had used horse medicine instead of
 vinegar, and that is why they are in the care of a horse doctor. They have no more dreams of pastoral life
 or amateur farming.

Consolidated Makes New Regulations
 Regarding Marking of Freight.
 On June new regulation will go into effect on the Consolidated road, which is designed to effect the more certain delivery of goods and to check the carelessness of many shipping clerks. With some shippers it is usual when sending number of packages to one consignee, to put on the first the full address and a device of initials and to use only the device or initials on the others. Hereafter every pack age must be fully addressed. The new regulation reads:
 Each bundle, package or piece of less than carload freight. must be plainly marked with the information necessary to carry it to destination and ensure proper delivery even if separat- ed from the way bill.
 The marks on packages must be compared with the shipping order and Dill of lading, and correction. if neces- sary, made by the shipper or his renre- sentative Old marks must be ramov- ed or effaced.
 Freight consigned to more than one piace of which there are two or more or the same name in the same state. must not be forwarded unless the name or the county is given.
 Wheh freight is consigned to q place not located on the line of rail- road' the shipper must be required to state me name of the railroad station nt winch the consignee will accept de- livery or if destined to place reached os water line, the name of the railroad station at which delivery is to be made to such water line.'
