On Books.

Mark there. We get no good
BY being ungenerous, even to book,
And calculating profits-so much help
BY so much reading. It is rather when
We gloriously forget ourselves and plunge
Soul forward, headlong. into books pro-
found,
1mpassioned for its beauty and salt of
truth;
'Tts then we get the right good from q
book.

beautiful, the casket being entirely
loaded down with flowers, the offerings
of her bereaved family and friends.
The remains were laid away to rest
in the cemetery, just south of the viii
lage, until the cs.ll of her beloved
Savior.
Peaceful be her lowly grave,
Peaceful be her slumber;
She no more our sorrow knows.
She no more will join our number.
Yet again We hope to meet her,
In fairer, better land
Where we never more shall sever.
But fore'r go hand in hand.
A FRIEND.

Four Convicts Escaped.

One of the most daring escapes
from Clinton prison at Dannemors
took place Saturday afternoon wher
four convicts, 'all third term men,
named Peter James, John Cummins
John Elliott and Edward Kennedy
succeeded in getting away.
The men were at work in the cellar
of the factory building which is neal
the prison wall, and were last seen al
2 o'clock. An hour and half later il
was discovered that they had dug
passageway from the cellar of the fac
tory under the wall and into the sewer
which empties about a half mile from
the prison.
Only one clue has been discovered
and this was followed, but the police
decline to give the details. The fouI
men must have been at work for the
past three or four months in digging
the subterranean passageway, a dis
tance of over rs feet and even now l.
is impossible to surmise what they die
with the earth which they dug out.
Peter James, one Of the fugitives
was serving a life sentence for shoot
ing banker in Troy, N. Y, some
years ago. He is desperate crimina
and is expected to fight to finish be
fore he is overpowered. The othei
three are also desperate fellows.

OPTION is NOT VALID.
Court Renders Decision on Land Tha,
Suddenly Increased In Value.


Butler Pa, July 20.-Judge S. N
Miller of Mercer has handed down the
opinion in suits on options taken here
on ground about the time of the loca.
tion in this city of the Standard Steel
Car company.
The court holds that an option taken
by person who has knowledge OF
something which will increase the
value of the property while the person
giving the option does not possess such
knowledge renders the option void.
The first was the case of the Stand.
ard Steel Car company and j. F. Al.
derson against J. George Stamm.
Stamm gave an option on his property
which adjoins the Standard Steel Car
property to Anderson, who was acting
agent for the company. Mrs. Stamm
refused to sign the deed and later the
location of the car works was publicly
announced, which increased the value
of the property greatly.
The other case which was decided In
favor of the Guaranty Safe and Trust
company was on an option taken on
the Hotel Arlington property from
Captain N. Liebold, the owner In this
case the court held that as the par
ties had agreed upon a price and the
trust company was acting in good faith
and wanted the property for its own
use the contract was binding. Both
cases will be appealed to a higher
court.

limits activity in cotton manufacturing
at the East, short time being the rule
at all leading centers. Unprecedented
activity is noted in the anthracite Goa
trade.
Final returns of foreign trade point
to the largest aggregate on record
due, however, to 13 per cent gain lr
imports, because exports fell off pei
cent from last year and per cent
from the record of 1901. Dutiable i'm
ports show the largest increases.
Exports Of cotton were the larges,
in value ever recorded in a fiscal year
but those of provisions, breadstuffs
cattle and petroleum were less thai
In recently preceding years. The
steady gain in other exports is one
very favorable feature in the coun
try's export business.
The iron trade is quiet enough or
the surface, but production and con
sumption are alike enormous, though
pressure of the latter tends to ease ir
