 Yes, that is the date. George and Will and Tom and Bessie. Draw big line around it now on the calendar that hangs, printed in large figures, iH your bedroom, su you will be sure not to forget it. The Valentine sale and supper, that has gained such a reputa- tion that you already know more about it than this paragraph can tell you, is to be held in the veStry of the Congregational church on Saturday afternoon, February ', opening at 3 o'clock. The number of the valentines is something like the tides in the Bay of Funday-they keep increasing every year. John Wanamaker says that he will try hard to supply us with all the valentines that we shall want, and John generally backs up his word of promise with big deed of perform ance. The supper is to be served from 5 o'clock on, that is, until the eatables are exhausted and your money is all gone-gone into the right spot, the treasury of the Christian Endeavor sale is given. But you don't really suppose that that is all there is to be, do you? just valentines and a supper? Why, bless your heart, no; there are to be ice cream (even if the thermom- eter is down to 15 below such as it usually isl, loaves of cake (some of

How can we adjust the relations of capital and labor so that they shall CO., operate for each others welfare and the common good of the people at large? How can we control the vital statistics so as to abate social abuses, and protect the Christian family and home against vice and crime? How can we restrain the greed of gain which results in monopolies and trusts such as deprive the people of their natural rights and rob them of a just share of the good things of life?
 These and many more are the QueS- tions of social science which concern us; for good society is the society of good, intelligent people organized ac- cording to the principles of righteous ness, and the laws of nature.

The editor enjoyed a somewhat breezy ride, Friday. to Bethlehem, but cordial greeting and a hearty welcome from that worthy couple, MT and Mrs A. c. Lake, who are related to a num- Der of Newtown people. By way of weather the thermometer registered at two degrees above zero, Saturday, some 10 or 12 degrees colder than was registered in Newtown. By the aid of telescope when the atmosphere is right one can see from MT Lakes door, yard, the large barn of Alex Baird on Brushy Hill. MT Lakes homestead is about a mile and a half north of Beth lehem Center, one of the highest points in that town.

DEADLOCK ON THE
 STATEHOOD BILL Democrats Will Not Agree to
 the Compromise REPUBLICANS STAND PAT Leaders Say They Will Make No Fur. ther Concessions, and It Looks as
 If the Measure Will Have
 to Take Its Chances.
REPUBLICANS STAND PAT

Washington February 23.-All- day there has been talk of compromise on the state hood bill. It was generally understood that what was known as the Spooner compromise. being the two-state bill drawn by the Wisconsin senator, would be satisfactory to the republicans. The terms of this compromise have been given heretofore, save that the provision for the state of Montezuma provides that before Arizona can be set off as a sepa- rate state. the population of Montezuma must be 100000, of which s0O0o0 should be in Arizona.
 The democrats while talking in a con- ciliatory spirit, said that they had little hope that the republican proposition would be acceptable to them. It is likely that when stks proposition is submitted the democrats will have a conference. Probably a counter proposition then will be made providing that when Arizona has a population which is the average for a representative in congress, 1t shall be admitted as a state and also that census shall be taken every year.
 The democrats say they want a provi- sion fixing the date which will bring Ari- zona into the union. This would not be satisfactory to the republicans. While the efforts toward a compromise con- tnue, and the prospects of statehood leg islation are still remote.
 There was an earnest conference in the senate chamber after adjournment, par ticipated in by Senators Aldrich, Quay L f1fso I and Kean when it was definitely decided that preparation for a compromise on two states should be submitted to the democrats. Senator Quay presented memorandum of the important features of the compromise to Senator Bate, who will present it to conference of demo- crats called for 10 o'clock tomorrow. It is expected that the republican proposi- ton will be rejected and a counter propo- sition made.
 Democratic leaders say they cannot ac- cept the compromise suggested and the republicans say that no further conces- sions will be made.

CARTELYOU NEEDS
 MONEY FOR START Asks That Congress Appro- priate S669,69O for Salaries S7,00O,OOO FOR A BUILDING New Secretary of Commerce Says the Future Growth of the Department
 Should Be Considered In the
 Erection of Building.
S7,00O,0O0 FOR A BUILDING

Washington, Feb. 2S-A scheme for the organization of the new department ol commerce and labor has been lald pelote congress by Secretary Cortelyou In the estimate transmitted to that body to- day through the secretary of the treas- ury In addition to the twelve branches of the public service transferred to the new department from other departments, which has been approved, Secretary Cor telyou asks for appropriations for sal- aries aggregating $669, 69o The salaries cover the seeretary's office, the bureau of cbrporations and manufactures and subordinate divisions as follows;
 secretarys office, twenty salaries, $SS- O2e; under the chief clerk, seventy-one salaries, s61, 300; appointment division, twenty salaries, S26 16O; division of mails and hles twenty-one salaries, $21, 300; d- vision of stationary, nine salaries, S12 s6OS library, seven salaries, $s,550; office of solicitor. $15OOOO; for compensation of special examiners in the field, $296, ,96O; bureau of manufactures twenty-one sal afies, $50, ,9S0 in connection with the new duties imposed on the bureau of statis- tics, S5,570.
 Secretary Cortelyou says in his letter that provision should be made for the payment of salaries for the remainder of the current fiscal year for such of- ficers and employees as qualify before Ju- ly l., 1903, but he says that the bureau of corporations and manufactures probably will not be perfected until some time during the next fiscal year, so that he concludes that $669, 96O will be sufficient for the remainder of this and the next year
 In addition to the salaries are estimates of $75,000 for rent; $5O000 for contingent expenses; $15000O for travelling expenses for. examiners $6O0,OOO for printing and binding Gncluding $25O0OO for the census offce)
 In his recommendation for a building for his department Secretary Corteyou urges that the future growth of the de- partment be considered. He says it
 should be so planned in advance as to be not inferior in convenience or beauty to the structure which commercial and financial houses at the great centers of American trades are erecting for the transaction of their daily business. He states that it should have at least one hall suitable for conferences or con- gresses, international or national and dwells on the present inadequacy of the present department buildings. He asks for $7000000 for the building exclusive of the site.
