"a lay delegate to, the: Episcopal con

Let me give you an instance of his
methods.

At the age sixty-seven years, and
after an illness of less than an hours
duration, Mrs. Montgomery, wife
of the late DR.. D. H. Montgomery,
died at her home in Mifflinville,
Tuesday evening. She was in her
usual good health until about half
past five o'clock Tuesday evening

violently i'll from the rupture of a
blood vessel. Or. Redeker, oftown

withstanding that he responded
promptly, she died before he reach
ed the house.
Mrs. Montgomery was daugh-
ter Of Jacob Kline, and was born in
Orangeville, where she was raised
and lived until married, when they
moved to Mifflinville. DR.. Mont

year. The survivors are two daugh-
ters, Carrie and Florence, and three

PORTABLE MARINE TORCH.
Emergency Device Which Is Part of
Equipment of Ocean
Going Ships.

The marine torch designed to be car
ried in ships for emergency use, and
which was first introduced two years
ago, has led to the perfection of de-
vice which is very great improvement
on the first one, In reality. it is n
portable incandescent light, and upon
contact with water generates a bril-
liant illuminating gas, automatically
lighted by chemical device and mex
tinguishable by wind or water. The
light is so balanced that 1t floats up
right directly 1t enters the water, saws
the Philadelphia Record. The light is
made in from 300 10 10000 candle DOW
er according TO size, and burns, it is
said, up to half an hour, while It IL
Eliminates for reading up to $50 yards
distance, The light is now specially
approved by the board of trade for the
compulsory equipment of passenger
ships and adopted by the Irish lights
board and such a system makes il
suitable for many purposes in connec-
tion with marine work--especially.
perhaps, in emergencies, 80 seconds
sufficing to undo the two inclosing
strips of metal and have the light in
operation.

THE LIME JUICE ISLAND.
Nontserrat. in the British West In
dies, One Vast Garden of
Lime Trees.

Nearly ALL the lime-iuice used in the
world comes from the tiny island Of
Montserrat. in the British West In
dies. The lime grows wild in many
West Indian islands, but only in
Montserrat is it used commercially,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. That
island is one vast garden of lime-trees,
and nowhere in the world is there a
finer sight,than it's 30 miles of orchards
laden with the fruit of the lime or fra
grant with its blossoms.
The fruit is gathered by negro wom-
en-, who carry it down the hills to the
shipping ports in big baskets on their
heads. Like all West Indians, they
are remarkable for their ability 10
carry heavy weights in this manner.
Once, the company which controls the
lime-juice industry sought to tighten
the burden of its laborers by intro
ducing wheelbarrows. The negroes
filled the wheelbarrows readily enough,
and then carried them on their heads
as they had been used to carry the
baskets. Many a negro woman will
carry a hundred-weight Of lines on
her head for a distance Of mile or
more.

A Heavy Storm.
Continued from Ist page.

the destruction of the wheat is, that
on the farm of John Reichard, for a
path Of zoo feet in width, the wheat
which had been placed in shock
was apparently blown out of exist
ence, not a semblance of sheaf re-
naming, and as yet none oil it has
been found.
AT the Jury farm, farmed by Mr..
Emery some distance from Buck
horn, the barn was hurled to the
ground and the horses buried be-
meath it. In order to save the lives
Of the horses it was necessary to
use an ak to cut them out. One is
SO horribly cut that it is thought it
cannot live.
The wind blew down part of the
barn OF Mrs. Zeisloft' at Jersey
town, as we'll as one near Washing
tonville. The damage to crops in
that vicinity was very heavy.
The barns Of Marvin Hartman
and Jacob Hartzell, in Catawissa
township, were unroofed. Hon.
William T. Greasy reports there
had been the promise of good
apple crop, but this was in part de-
stroyed by the destruction wrought
by Saturdays wind. The damage
to the wheat, he says, is very
great.
At Mainville the water in Coal
Run raised SO high that it washed
away large number of sheaves of
wheat for Boyd Yetter, and several
farmers. The high wind raised
the creek bridge at that place a
distance of twelve inches, but when
the storm subsidized, the bridge set
tied back to its place.
Coal Run, for a distance of about
three miles above Mainville, over
flowed its banks and badly washed
the farms of Aaron Gruver, Cleve
Mensinger, Boyd Yetter, John w.
Shuman and O. r. Shuman. At
the farms of John w. and O. r.
Shuman from ten to fifteen acres of
fine timothy hay was completely
ruined.
A portion Of the roof of the barn
of. a, Hartzel, of Main township,
was torn off by the wind. The
barn of Richard Aten, in the same
township, was also unroofed.
The loss of L. H. Boody at Rup-
ert was heavy one. Many OF the
fine trees in his beautiful lawn were
uprooted or broken off and it will
take years to replace the property
where it was before the storm.

Moser Heirs Hopeful,

Some fifty persons attended the
meeting Of the Burkhard Moser heirs
in Reading. H. H. Stoudt, one of
the leaders in the present litigation
with the l.. c. & N. Co., presided and
spoke hopefully of the outlook for the
successful prosecution of their claim.
Mr.. Stoudt stated that none of the de-
clsions OF the courts were really
against the heirs, but that they must
present better proof of their descent
from Moser, the owner of the largest
tract of coal land in dispute. The
next suit will be tried in September.
Mr.. Stoudt said that he wanted all
the claimants to prepare proof of their
contention as heirs, so that if the
claim was found to be just there
would be no further trouble. Others
expressed confidence IN the final out
come of the rituation. Some sub
scribed money toward the expenses of
the suits. The estate to which the
heirs set claim is variously valued at
from $40, 900 to $50, o,ooo.-

TIE WHEELMEN LOST.

The Wheelmen went down be-
fore Boyd Maize juveniles. on Nor
NAL Field Thursday afternoon.
Their defeat was largely due to
their inability to connect with Bud
Rabb's benders. The youngster
had choice collection up his sleeve
and the entire Wheelmen outht
with the exception Of one or two
was completely al his mercy.
Several times they had chance to
win the game, but they were never
equal to the emergency. In the
fourth, fifth and eight inning they
had the bases occupied and no one
out, and just little hit would have
meant two runs, but it was at these
times that young Mr.. Rabb was
effective, and the wheelmen would
step up and fracture the air one
after the other. "Hossier" Moore
appeared to be able to hit the ball,
but he couldn't keep track of it
when he was in the field. He had
only one chance to distinguish him
self and then he lost the ball in the
high grass and before he found it
the runner had scampered home.
Taking the game all the way
through, it was a hummer. But
the Wheelmen are not satisfied.
They have challenged the clerks
for another game, this time for $50
a side. Manager Maize we under
stand has excepted The money is
up and the game will be played to,
morrow. The score Of Thursday 5
game was 1910.

Here is some common sense ad-
vice given by a Missouri editor to
the girls of his town: Don't hang
around the depot unless you are
going away or there to meet friends.
Don t be loud boisterous or slangey.
Stand on your dignity; and don't
form acquaintances quickly. Don't
carry your heart on your sleeve;
and don't thorw yourself into the
arms of every good looking drum
mer or we'll dsessed stranger who
comes to town. Be womanly, be
modest, be thoughtful and serious
at all times. Don't regard your
long legged brother as as a nuis-
ance; don't turn up your nose at
your old fashioned father and his
poor grammar; and above all don t
play "a Hot Time" while your
mother is having a hotter time at
the wash tub with your dirty duds
its too suggestive.
