All the young peach orchards in western New York have been de- stroyed by a snow storm. The snow was wet and heavy. It clung to the branches of the trees and bore the limbs to the ground. Only peach trees were destroyed, as their limbs are brittle and as easily broken as a clay pipe stem.

Repeal the Duty on Coal. Says Moody
CBy the Associated Press.)

- -(By the Associated Press.)
Lawrence, ass, Oct. 31-W. H. Moody
Secretary of the Navy, spoke here to-
night, devoting himself especially to the
tariff on anthracite coal, which he adj
mitted was dutiable under the phrase
ology of the Dingley Tariff law. He
said:
''It is but justice to say that the an
thracite miners did not ask for this duty
and, as l view the situation, it was in
serted at the request of the owners of
mines of bituminous coal of an inferior
quality on the Pacific slope.
Il have no hesitation in saying that
the imposition of the anthracite duty is
a mistake and thaD at the first oppor-
tunity it should be repealed"

Look TO Your Health.

The Board of Health desires to call at
teniion to the necessity Of a strict COM
pIiance with the Rules aud Regulations
which have been adopted and made an
ordinance by the council.
A want Of proper drainage and sewer
age connections haye, and may again
cause sickness and death. On investiga-
lion by the Board of Health it was found
that the cause of diptheria at the house Of
James Bromley was that the sewer con-
nection had he, II made To the main sewer
without trap" and the sewer gas was
escaping into the kitchen and also that
slOps were thrown on adjoining lots
without proper drainage. Sewer gas is
very dangerous to life and health, and if
proper traps" are not put in at all open
ings the result will inevitably be dipthe-
ria, typhoid fever and other deadly dis
eases and probably death.
Rule eleven says "Whatever is danger
Gus to human Life or health, or renders
the air, food or water unwholesome' are
muisances and are prohibited. All per-
sons should carefully read Health Rules
10 to 30 inclusive. Rules go and 81 are as
follows:
80. All changes and directions shall be
made with curved pipes. All joints and
pipes shall be made air tight. The whole
work must be done 10y skillful mechan
les in thorough and workmanhke man
ner, and TO The satisfaction OF the Board
Of Health
81. Before proceeding to construct any
portion Of the drainage system of a hotel,
tenement, dwelling house, or other bull.
ding, the owner, builder or person con-
sfructng the same shall file with the
Board of Heath plan thereof, showing
the whole drainage system fiom the con-
nection with tre common sewer to the
terminus in the house, together with the
location and size of all drainage traps,
ventilating pipes or fixtures.
= Rule 81 provides heavy penalty for
the violation Of any of the rules 1t is
not the desire of the Board to nforce any
penalty, but 1t i Its desire that the Rules
be oheyed that the health of the people
may be preserved and deadly diseases
prevented.
That no one might claim ignorance CT
the Rules copy was placed in every
family at the time of their adoption. Any
families that have moved in since the dis
tribution of the Rules are requested to
call at the Office of the Bur ess and get a
copy.
There has been some very bad aud
careless plumbing, the Rules have been
violated, probably, in some cases,
thoughtlessly or through ignorance of the
danger arising therefrom.
Let all remember the maxim: An ounce
Of prevention is worth pound Of cure.

Marreni;es Were Easy.

The following account of how many
Warren county people We're grated" is
rom the Mirror, aud is here given as
precautionary tip tn our readers who
may sooner or later be called upon by
these sleek gentlemen:
some weeks ago ae 'uple Of well dress
ed, "oil' tOnguod" fellows invaded the
farms on the hills south Of the city and
talked to the farmers who reside tbere-
abouIs. The men claimed to be agents
for large Cincinnati house (which COW
ers tour full squares and were armed
with catalogues of mammoth proportions
from which they had patrons select goods.
Everything from a pin to hay stack
was offered for sale and how they soldl
Orders were taken for rugs, clothes,
clothing, dress goods. groceries, beds. fur
niture, buggies, wagons, drugs, harnesses,
rings, watches, farm machinery, and
olher things too numerous to mention.
The firm claimed to be a new one and
since its inception was so recent could
afford to almost give things away to gain
future customers. When custom was
slow in coming the offer ia new broad
cloth dress, with trimmings, Innings, etc,
was held out as a bait; ''all for s. if YOU
buy some,h NC else" A number Of
dresses were almost given away at this
price by the smooth fellows. They did
not re for expenses and why should
they? Their firm was new and rich.
With every order taken a cash bonus Of
from s. TO $40 was required and this was
promptly paid and the persons who in.
vested looked fer their goods As the
weeks slipped away, first one and then
another looked wise aud thought Of their
hard earned money, the visits TO the ex-
press oflice grew fewer sud finally now
that near'y a month has passed the far
mers are convinced that they were worked

was too, ard that pretty thoroughly.
Nearly every house was visited and from
the HighouSe brick yard, Grunderville,
Chandler's Valley aud other points come
the walls of the "Biiers." 1t is a costly !
lesson but some day the people who de.
sire something for nothing will learn to
patronize the home merchant who gives
them honest values and who buys their
products and is the source oftheir bread
and butter.
The scheme described above was work
ed successfully near Olean and the Butia-
10 Courier some time ago exposed il at

bare remark goes "A sucker is born every

Put away the little dresses
Tha the darling usei to wear;
She will need them on earth never,
She has climbed the Golden Stair.
She IS with the happy angels
And long for her sweet kiss,
Where her little feet are waiting
In the realm Of perfect bliss.
Angels whisper that our darling
Is in hands of love so fair:
That her little feet are waiting
Close beside the Golden Stair.
Lay aside her little playlhings,
Wet with mothers pearly Tears;
How we shall miss little Elva,
All the coming weary years:
Fold the dainty little dresses,
That she never more will wear,
For her little feet are waiting
Up above the Golden Stair.
Kiss the little curly tresses,
Cut from her dark shining hair
DO the angels kiss our da ling
In the realm So bright and fair?
Oh, we pray TO meet our darling
For long. long sweet embrace,
Where the little feet are waiting
And we meet her face TO face.

THE order OF the Postmaster General.
making marriage on the part of the fe-
male clerks in his department tanta-
mount to a resignation of position, has
raised some fanciful objections bearing
upon the restraints of matrimony. The
order, however, is eminently just and
proper. No woman occul ying clerical
position, Whether in a government de-
partment or in private business, should
be expected to support a husband, and it
is well Tor men who are looking for that
Kind ofsupport TO be forewarned. The
order Of Postmaster General Payne may
have tendency to discourage matrimony,
but it will discourage it in just the lines
that will best conserve the Interests Ofthe

ployes from thriitless alliances.
