A FORMER FULTON COUNTY BOY.
Appointed on the Board of The
Eastern State Penitentiary

Eastern State Penitentiary
In the appointment of DR.. Will
liam Duffield Robinson of Phila-
delphia, on the Board of Inspec-
tors of the Eastern State Peniten.
tiary, Governor Pennypacker has
made an excellent selection and
pleases many of the early as we'll
as late friends of DR.. Robinson
in assigning him to that position.
The Doctor is son of one of
Fulton county's well known for
mer citizens-the late John Rob.
inson, who for many years own
ed and successfully conducted
the Big Cove Tannery in Ayr
township.
After quitting school at the old
Chambersburg Academy, he en-
tered Cressler's drug store in
Cham bersburg where he served
an apprenticeship of three years.
But desiring to better fit himself
as phar macist, he, in 1874, went
to Philadelphia and entered the
store of McKelway & Barrell, and
while there, took a full course in
the Philadelphia College of Phar.
macy, from which he graduated
in 1876. Later, he took o full
course in medicine in the medic
al department of the University
of Pennsylvania in the days when
the University had on it's faculty
such able instructors as Doctors
Pepper, Penrose, Ashhurst, aud
Agnew-the latter of whom was
q graduate of the same medical
school that DR.. Robinson's uncle,
the late well known and able Nc
Connellsburg physician, DR.. S. E.
Duffield-all university of Penn
sylvania men.
After graduating in medicine,
DR.. Robinson was appointed res
ident physician IN the Eastern
Penitentiary and served in that
capacity for eleven years. Dur
ing that time he had become
deeply interested in sanitary and
medical matters connected with
prisons, and did much towards
keeping the penitentlary abreast
with the rapid advancements be-
ing made in those lines through
out the United States.
In his profession the Doctor
has won an enviable position
among the medical men of Phila-
delphia.
The position to which he has
been appointed by Governor Pen
nypacker, has always been
sought and filled by the leading
citizens of Philadelphia, among
whom may be mentioned the late
Furman Sheppard, John M. Nor
ris, Richard Vaux and Thomas W
Price. 1t is an honorary position
the Board giving their time
and services without any compen-
sation.
The Doctors appointment was
all the more complimentary as it
was outside of politics, and one
of merit entirely. All this makes
it the more gratifying to his
friends, and it should be a source
of pardonable pride to the Doctor
himself. viii, we wish you sue
cess, but at the same time would
gently remind you that as long
as the trout continue 10 bite along
the Back Run, or the oushey
tails continue their imprrden1
basklng on the hickorles, dowr

writer, prefers job as far away
from your experimental estab

the Governor, to grant, and will

New Way of Using ChamberIain's
Cough Remedy.

Mr.. Arthur Chapman writing from
Durham, Natal, South Africa, says:
LAS a proof that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a cure suitable for old and
young, | pen you the following: A
neighbor of mine had a child just over
two months old. 1t had a very bad
cough and the parents did not know
what to give it. | suggested that if
they would get a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and put some
upon the dummy teat the baby was
sucking it would no doubt cure the
child. This they did and brought
about a quick relief and cured the
baby" This remedy is for sale by

Shall we save Niagara? Is It the more valuable
for its grandeur and its beauties or for CONNER
cial purposes?
The American Society for the Preservation OF
Scenic and Historic Places. of which Andrew n
Green Is president Is intrusted by the legislature
of the State OF Sew-York with the duty OF MAKING
recommendations annually TO the legislature IN
relation TO the preservation Of scenic and historic
places. I should like The judgment Of the readers
of The Tribune as to whether It is the duty OF
this society to recommend that Niagara be pre-
served.
We must act quickly. There is quick limit to
the water that can be taken from Niagara River
to turn turbine wheels without iHpairtng the
beauty of the falls. Unless something is done at
once it is likely that we OF this generation Will be
able to walk the rocks and with dry feet
from the United States to Canada.
Nothing except prompt legislative action Will
avail, and the legislature that says that no more
water from Niagara River shall be diverted from
flowing over the falls must take the responsibility

II may say said he, that during construction
while the smokestacks. derriC6s. dump cars ran

as though the beauty Of the falls was being oe-

templated by the agreements between the d1nerent

Never before were dynamite and the steam

Niagara Falls as they are to-day.
Public attention was forcibly called to this
state Of affairs at a recent dinner Of the Archi-
tscturaI League in this city, when Walter S.
Logan In his speech said: Il think we are go
ing 20 lose Niagara Falls. Our generation is
tup against the question whether commerce is

merce TO win. Before die think shall walk
