The street commissioner should see

The street commissioner should see
toit that parties burning leaves and the
usual fall rubbish on the paved streets
remove the ashes of their fires before
the wind scatters them all over the
city. Ever since the leaves commenced
to drop and the regular fall cleaning
up began the air has been filled with
not only the smoke of the fires but the
ashes also which seems unnecessary.
The fires cannot harm the pavement
and it is much safer to have them built
out in the open than in back yards and
alleys but there is no reason why
everybody should be made to breathe
ashes just because people who build
fires are too lazy to clean up after
themselves. The smoke is bad enough.

Our of the 4,152 embezzlements re.
ported in the United States since Jan.
1st, 1902, 1912 are directly traceable to
the gambling mania which appears to
be epidemic all over the country. The
race tracks are responsible for the
smaller crimes Ewhile stock market
gambling appears to have caused the
larger ones. There are volumes of

c. A. Dewey.
A very large number of the memo
and guests of the Women's Alliance of
Unity church assembled at the home
OF Mrs. c. A.sDewey on Tuesday after
noon for the second program meeting
OF the year. After the usual opening
exercises, the paper of the afternoon
was given by Rev. Marion Murdoch.
upon Joseph Priestly and a century of
the liberal faith. Miss Murdoch por.
trayed the work of this man of science.
and religious leader, "a a delightful
manner, giving account of his discov-
cry OF oxygen and other scientific
achievements, and of the persecution
he suffered in England because of his
religious opinions. Coming to this
country, he found opportunity to pur-
sue his scientific Investigations. and
became the founder of the First Uni
tartan church of Philadelphia, the first
church of that faith to be established
in America. Miss Murdoch also traced
the development of liberal Christian
1ty through the work and influence of
liberal thinkers from Holland. and
through the influence of the Chanting
movement in the New England states.
The paper was greatly enjoyed, and a
short discussion followed, led by Miss
Buck.
The hostess closed the afternoon in
a pleasant manner by serving coffee
and sandwiches during the social hour
that followed the program.

Arm Injured.

Elijah Moon, one of the foremost
farmers of Deer Park district. was
painfully injured at the shingle mill
of Mr.. Mellinger, near Beckman, on
last Saturday afternoon at a late
hour. Mr.. Moon. was standing in
front of the jointer engaged in con-
yersation with one of the men about
the mill when the heavy wheel broke
into fragments and flew through the
air in every direction. One piece
struck Mr.. Moon on the right arm be-
tween his wrist and elbow, passing
almost entirely through it and carry
ing away a portion of the bone and
flesh. Another piece of the wheel
was hurled across the roadway and
imbedded two feet into the rock and
earth. Mr.. Moon was brought to the
sanitarium in Oakland Sunday after
noon where he is now receiving atten-
ton. The arm may not have to be
amputated, although the injury is a
serious one.

The extreme cold of the winter
followed so suddenly by soft weather
has had bad effect upon the paved
streets of Oakland especially that por-
ton of Alder street below the post
office and the east end of Liberty street
near the Presbyterian church. In
both streets the brick have given away
and large indentations have occurred.
On Alder street planking has been laid
over the holes and on Liberty street
the ooze is continually coming to the
surface. The work done on the lat
ter street last summer was inferior in
every respect and will have to be
taken up in its entirely and relaid.
This, however, will not have to be
done at the expense of the town as
the contractor has filled bond guar
anteeing his work to stand for the term
of five years without any repairs what
ever.
1t is said that the repairs will be made
to the damaged pavements upon the
arrival here of the contractor and
before he is allowed to begin the work
of paving Second and Oak streets, con-
tracts for which were made with him
last fall.

The Philadelphia Record in speak
ing of epidemics of typhoid fever says
that where such epidemics exist there
is crime because the propagation and
spread of the germs could be easily
prevented and if not prevented there
is some one to blame. These and
other disease germs are generated by
heat from rubbish and as the spring
days will soon be here it would be well
to have all source of such trouble re-
moved before the weather becomes
warm. The duty of removing the
source of danger devolves on each res
ident of community.
Rev. George W. Kepler, formerly
pastor of st. Pauls M. E. church in

having completed a postgraduate
course in Shenandoah College. Va,
leading to the degree of Doctor of

Oakland hardware merchants, are
doing some extensive advertising in
this paper and they are well satisfied
with the results thereby obtained.
This week they talk plows, the Uni
versal, recognized everywhere as one
of the best makes in the country.
The b. &. o. company are prepar-
ing to make extensive improvements
at their station at Mt. Lake Park. The
present platform is to be removed,
fill made, and brick pavement laid
to cover the space occupied by the
present platform. The waiting room
on the south side is to be extended so
as to be three times as large as it is
now. The station building is to be re-
modelled, so as to have ladies waiting
room; freight room will be added to
the present building.
The people of Oakland will learn
with regret of the action of Al. Wiki
inson, of Grafton. w. Va, who has
entered suit against the firm of Loar
Bros, of that city, sons of Mrs. D. Fl.
Loar, of Oakland, claiming$10.00 900 dam
ages for personal injuries received
some months ago when Mr.. Wilkinson
walked into the store of the above
firm and fell through a trap door
which had been left standing open
in a dark place. He had a narrow
escape with his life.
To reach the people of the county
you must advertise in paper that is
read by the purchasing public has
been for years an argument advanced
by THE REPUBLICAN. This argument
is bearing fruit to an extent some
what beyond our expectations as may
be seen by look at our advertising
columns. Among our yearly adyer-
tisers we haye placed a space at the
disposal of S. G. Smith, the music
man, who has something to say today
concerning the Everett piano. Read
the advertisement.
What would our grandfathers have
thought of the ordinance that the
Cortland, n. Y, Board of Health is
preparing to enact, forbidding the
sale of milk which has been taken
from cows by milkmen with whiskers:
1t is contended that the wearing OF
whiskers by milkmen is an unclean
habit and detrimental to the health
of the consumers, as the beard COM
| ing in contact with the COW, brushes
dirt and disease germs into the milk.
The germ is certainly finding pres
ent day life bit strenuous.

tones. 4 do was the reply, made in
accents pitched in u high key, which
contrasted strongly with the cavernous
tones of the learned counsel. Then

Methods of Reporting.

In old times there were three ways
to report testimony-the verbatim, the
sketch, and the summary. Let us give
an example:
John Smith, sworn and examined by
Mr.. Jones:
@. What is your business?
a. am a carpenter.
@. How long have you worked at
your trade?
A. have worked at my trade for
twenty years.
Q. DO you know the defendant?
a. do.
Q. How long have you known him?
A. have known him for the last
ten years.
So much for the verbatim. Now, for
the sketch:
John Smith, on being sworn, said
he was Il carpenter. He worked ut his
trade for twenty years and knew the
defendant for ten years.
And the summary:
John Smith, a carpenter, knew de-
PENDANT for ten years."
The yellow fever. however has
evolved Il new style of reporting.
"John Smith, tall and angularly
formed fellow with bushy red hair and
flaming whiskers, was sworn. He
kissed the book with resounding
smack, adjusted his green necktie, sat
down in the witness chair, ran his
right hand through his ruby locks,
crossed his legs, which were closely
incased in blue and white trousers of
the latest cut. and then looked straight
into the eyes of Counsellor Jones. In
solemn tones the latter asked him his
business: I am carpenter was the
humble reply made in a clear and high
pitched voice, that was heard distinct
ly in the remotest corner of the court
room.

The Flight Into Egypt.
There's legend that's told of gypsy

y
And her robe was embroidered with
stars, and her belt
With devices right wondrous to see,
And she lived i'll the days when our
Lord was a child
On His mothers immaculate breast;
When he fed from His foes-when to
Egypt exiled,
He went down with st. Joseph the
Blest.
This Egyptian held converse with
magic, methinks,
And the future was given to her gaze
For an obclisk marked her abode, and
sphinx
On her threshold kept vigil always,
She was pensive and ever alone, nor
was seen
In the haunts Of the dissolute crowd
But communed with the ghosts of the
Pharoahs, 1 ween
Or visitors wrapped in shroud.
And there came an old man from the
desert one day,
With maid on mule, by that road;
And Il child OH Her bosom refined
and the way
Led them straight to the gipsy's
abode,
And they seemed to have Travelled
wearisome path,
From their home many, many a
league
From tyrant's pursuit, from an en-
emy's wreath,
Spent with toll, and o'ercome by
fatigue.
And the gypsy came forth from her
dwelling, and prayed,
That the pilgrims would rest them
awhile;
And she offered her couch to that del
icate maid.
Who had come many, many mile;
And she fondled the Babe, with affec-
tons c;lress,
And she begged the old man would
repoSe,
Here the stranger, she said, ever finds
free access
And the wanderer balm for his woes
Then her guest from the glare OF the
monday she led
10 seat in her grotto SO cool;
Where she spread them banquet OF
fruits-a shed,
With Manager, was found for the
mule;
With the wine Of the palm tree, with
the dates newly culled.
All the tolls of the road she beguiled;
And with song in a language myster-
ious she lulled
On her bosom the wayfaring Child.
When the gypsy anon in her Ethiop
hand
Placed the infants diminutive palm,
Oh twas fearful to see how the feat
ures she scanned,
| or the Babe in His slumbcr so calm!
! Well she noted each mark and each
furrow that crossed
Ger the tl9lcings of destiny line;
evidence came ye!" she cried in aston
ishment lost.
"For this child is of lineage divine
"From the village of Nazareth" 10.
| scph replied,
"Where we dwelt in the land Of the
| Jew.
We have fled from tyrant, whose
garment is dyed
In tho gore of the children he Slew
We were told to remain till an angels
command
Should appoint us the hour to return
But till then we inhabit the foreigner
land,
And in Egypt we make our sojourn.'
"Then larry with me-" cried the gips!
in joy,
"And We make of my dwelling YOU
home;
Many years have l prayed that tn
Israelite hoy
blessed hope of the Gentiles> woul'
come"
And she kissed both the feet Of til
infant and knelt,
And adored him at once;-then
smile
Lit the face of His Mother, who cheer
fully dwelt
With Her host on the banks of tn
. Nile. Anon.
