Advice fer College Graduates.

From the watertown Public opinion.
We have no time-honored advice with
whiskers and cobwebs on II to hand out
TO the various graduates OF this week
Not a one of them would take the best
counsel In the world. They will each and
all step out into the world immediately
after securing their diplomas and begin
TO acquire experience at a more or less
exorbitant rate. They are crazy to get
started at this and anxious TO pay for it.
They have been taking their knowledge
second handed so long that they are fair

dip into things for themselves. They
could still learn much from others, but
they won't do Il. 1t is probably just as
well that they won't. Some day they
would have cut loose, anyway. NO sei
rules can work for them always, and
taken an together. Il is better for then
to get their own measure with fixed thing,

VITAL STATISTICS.

The report Of the Board OF Health
shows that the greatest number OF mar
riages took place in April, the time Of
the mating Of the birds. The lowest
number was during February, when
coal was exceptionally high and scarce.
In giving the death rate for
the II years Il is gratifying TO note
that 1903 showed the lowest percentage
the rate being 1922. It seems that Tune
is not q favorite month to die in, more
persons according to the tables, pre-
fering July than any other month. with
April as a second choice.

possibilities Of continued life, the ng-
ures may be OF interest. OF infants

We notice that 1.so2 deaths occurred
during the past year. which was not

NOT The sHERlEE,s DUTY.

The Philadelphia Ledger in discuss
ing our horror says:
The Sheriff Of New Castle county
had at his command superabounding
and irresistible means Tor the protec-
tion Of this prisoner. His failure 20
protect him is inexcusable.
This Is an injustice to Sheriff Std
ham. Under tie law the custody OF
prisoners IS taken out Of his hands. He
has no armed force at his command
and it is not fair to hold him RESPONSE
BILE for duties that rest upon other
shoulders. In the matter Of protecting
the workhouse he could act only when
called upon by the workhouse authori-
ties. When called upon he instantly
summoned a posse and hastened to tn,
scene OF disorder. But it was too lat'
to be Of Service.

Nenr Enough.

1t was a Maine girl of whom the sto-
~ is told that she refused TO marry a
most devoted lover until he had amass-
ed a fortune Of $4,000. After some ex-
postulatlon he accepted the decree and
went to work. About three months
after this the avaricious young lady,
meeting her lover, asked;
"Wem. Charley, how are you getting
alongT
"Oh, very well indeed" Charley re
turned cheerfully. "Ive SIS saved"
The young lady blushed and looked
down at the toes Of her walking boots
and stabbed the inoffensive earth witt

DENY BOODLlNG CHARGE

scrarton councilmanie Con'mittse
Hears Further Evidence In Case.
Scranton, Pa. June 26.-The princi-
pal feature OF the testimony before the
councilmanic committee investigating
the alleged hoodling in connection
with the Dalton Street Railway fran
chise, was a six hours succession OF
denials by accused selectmen OF the
charges made by Promoter W. P.
Boland. The evidence adduced was
not sensational. but tended to show
very short memories on the part Of
the witnesses.
selectmen Thomas O'Boyle and
John Regan, who were said by Bo-
land to have approached him with
broad hints for money, denied ever
having had any such conversations
as detailed by Boland.
Selectman Edward Coleman and John
Nagali denied having been in any
combine to "hold-up" the trolley com
pany as Boland testified Evans had
told him. Selectman Malachi COyne
one of the Investigating committee
also took the stand to clear himself
Of the suspicion that attached to him
because of his having been named by
Boland as one OF the men the alleged
"go-between," Evans, included in the
membership of the combine. Mr.
Coyle denied all knowledge of an.
combine. and save a very reasonable
ovplapafiop of how n came that hi
was absent from the meeting tn
night the alleged members of tn
combine broke the quorum.
