MEETINGS AT Y. N. 0. A.
sunday Afternoon Religious Services
 to be Resumed,

" " &sSbuxnCUs
 The bulletin board at the Young Men'e Christi an Association building announces that the religious meetings for men which were discontinued during the warm weather will be resumed next Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. It is under stood that prominent member of the State Legislature will address the meet ing.
 General Secretary L. D. Dix has re- turned from his vacation. He says plans are being matured for e very aggressive work tilong all lines during the fall and winter season. The physical work is ai- ready fairly under way. but new classes will soon be put on to meet the increas- ing demand of the members. The diving and swimming contests in the tank are exciting much interest among the men.
 In tEne Educational Department the class work for employed men will open about October 1. In addition to the subjects taught last season, arrangements have been made to teach electricity and tell egraphy. Competent teachers have been secured and these courses can not fail to interest quite a number of young men, It Is expected that vocal music will also be talIght by an experienced instructor.
 A new feature of this department will be class work for employed boys. A large number of boys are at work in Mont yomery who need instruction in tine rudin Ientary branches, but who are forced out If the public schools to earn a live lihoo'i. The Association will undertake to supply this need for Its members
 The Association building will be more than ever a social center and frequent recerfions and entertainments will be held. The social element naturally per- vadei' all the work of the Association, whether in the gymnasium, school room, Bible class room or religious meeting.
 The outlook for the fall work on the who'll, is thought by the Secretary to be excetd dingly bright and the Association Is growing in numbers and in usefulness to tie community.

 It took the ssnatess ttrss hours to disposs of the first fifty sections cf the nth. By that time, howevH, the ynern- bsrs began to roAlise that the measure had been oarsfuliy prsparsd by the Re- cess Committee and thoss who were not In sympathy with an the provisions of the bill, roAlissd that the voting strength of the Dsuate rested with the Recess Committee. The last fifty sections were accordingly adopted without objection.
 DAEe Quorum Present.
 Senator's aitsrnated in reading tho lengthy pages. At times . bare quorum was present. In all probability no sena- tor heard the last fifty sections. They saw that the bill would be passed and they apparently wanted to save time by failing to offer minor amendments, whic.. stood every chance of meeting defeat.
 The scene in the Senate chamber dur ing the reading of the last half of the bill was novel. Senators thronged the cloak room. discussing other bills or sat compiacentiy smoking at their deslu. The acting president regalsd himself with . big cigar.
 Two little girls and baby were the alternately laughed and cried for the edihcatton of the pages and the older senatork. But the reading continued.
 An amendment of importance which was offered was by Senator Powell of Butler. fixing the license tax of all mu- inequalities at the same amount as charged by the State for licenses. The municipalities. in fixing licenses on non- resident corporations, operating in their corporate limits. in the Powell amend ment. were given discretionary powers.
 The chairman of the Recess Committee explained that a companion .nl to the general municipal bill had been framed by the Recess Committee to cover that point and urged that the senator from Butler withdraw his amendment.
 Senator Powell, although he expressed hfmself as in no way refiecting on the Recess Committee. declined to withdraw. The amendment was laid on the table.
 { Screws Police Amendment.
 The amendment of Senator Screws of Montgo mery, which was adopted, pro- vides that the Mayor and aldermen of each municipality shall have the power to prov lde by ordinance for the appoint ment of such a number of policemen as may he designated by the governing body: to define their duties, terms of office and salaries, and to provide for the enioval of such officers. but no such officer shall be removed except for fn- subordt nation. inefficiency, incompetency, malfeas,ance in office and then only af- ter public trial before the governing body upon charges preferred.

BAD COIN MACHINE REFORMS.
CounterfeitinR Apparatus Has =
Varied Career and Ends as q
Hitching Post.

In the dooryard OF Edwin l.. Parker.
on the shore Of onota lake, Pittsneld.
Mass, stands an old counterfeitlng ma
chine, whose history dates back beyond
revolutionary days. when tbs manufac-
ture OF spurious coin was carried on
In New York and Philadelphia.
No one has the authentic history OF
the machine and how long II was used
for Illegal stamping OF spurious coins
before Il lived down its dark record
by many years OF honest labor and was
finally retired from active operations.
The machine was used by a gang Of
New York counterfeiters In about ITO,
whose operations attracted the atten-
tion Of government officers. The coin
makers sent the machine TO Philadel-
phia In load OF charcoal. The ma
chine was oyertaken by the officers and
the gang was taken back to New York,
where the plates and dies were de-
stroyed
During the war OF 1912 the machine
was shipped to Pittsheld, where Lemuel
Pomeroy, who made guns for the gov
srnment, used Il TO stamp out the
S-shaped plates which went on the stock
Of the flntloek muskets.
The gun factory burned and the ma
chine fell into the Housatonlc river.
where Il remained some years. Caleb
Goodrich then bought the machine and
used II for cumming" the old fash
loned up and down saws used in saving
lumber From there II was taken to the
Plunkett mill and was used for like
purpose
About 30 years ago II was purchased
by It's present owner. the administra-
tor OF Mr. Goodrich's estate. Soon after
the circular saw came into use and there
was no more use for cumming" ma
chine. Since that time the machine has
stood In the dooryard OF Mr.. Parker.
where Il has been used as hitching post
and as a tether post for young cattle.
