BIumIe's Bill.
L. TAGGART.

Representative Blumle's bill, intro
measures that add to the sum of human
amusement without detracting much
from the dignity of legislation, for If
will never get beyond theCommittee on
Health and Sanitation, to which it was
committed. The bill would provide
rewards Oh money anu meuals TO the
mothers of large families, the rewards
being graded according to the number
of chilIl'ai. . ..JUiiel may nave.
Indelicate as the idea may be, Rep
resentative Blumle's bill would seem
to make cililu Gearing an lnaustry, aud
even in that it discriminates, because q
woman must have at least six children
before she can share in the proposed
rewards. Has not the mother of
smaller number earned the appro val
ofthe State? And should not the father
of dozen participate in the rewards
as well as the mother? If there be q
State Association ofSubsidized Mathers
shall there not also be Pennsylvania
Society of Dependent Husbands?
The Scriptural injunction was to Gin
crease and multiply" not to increase
and subsidized. No doubt, to be con-
sistent, Representative Blumle should
amend his bill by providing special re-
wards tor the mothers oftwins, triplets,
bankruptcies, &c, for a measure for the
encouragement of maternity should be
full and complete. And in case such a
bill become a law the husbands of ans
bilious mothers should take to the
woods Harrisburg Telegraph.

and that he resigned on Tuesday night
and went to Chester where he is at
present. DIR. Rothrock was recently
appointed by Governor Pennypacker
for full term ofyears, and his resigna-
was very unexpected. There was talk
some time ago that DIR. Rothrock had
placed his resignation in the Governors
hands and that the Governor had in.
duced him to reconsider it, but it ap.
pears that the resignation was not with
drawn, and has been in the Governors
possession all along, the Doctor making
it go into effect on Tuesday.
DR.. Rothrock's health has not been
very good of late, and he has wanted
to retire to his farm, but he consented
to stay until certain work in hand was
far enough advanced for him to leave
it. lie has had charge of the depart.

elementary forestry has been establish,
ed at Mt. Alto and plans have been
made to establish consumptive camps
in various parts of the State.
The general public will be pleased to
learn that DIR. Rothrock has withdrawn

amended by tho present legislature and

Romeo and Juliet-A Play to
PleaeS all,

Shakespeare's genius was at its best
in his creation of the marvellous char
acters in this play. How skillful is the
contrast of the Nurses subtle humor-
masterpiece of comic Characterization
with Mercutic's scoffing cynicism,
creation of high comedy, with the frag-
rant innocence of Juliet, and tho
romantic enthusiasm of her lover,
Romeo. All the very best features of
dramatic composition and poetry are to
be found in Romeo and Juliet. The in
terest is absorbing, the pathos most
deeply touching, while the humorous
element, never too prominent, affords
that contrast so essential to q really
great drama. The character of Friar
Laurence is we'll worth study; 80 il that
of Lady Capulet; Paris; mirth provok.
ing Peter; the starving Apothecary; the
fiery Tybalt; old Capulate noble Ben
volio aud the lesser characters. This
beautiful play must always highly In
terest those who are not dead 20 the
nohlest passions of our nature or blind

create. Simvelle's production carries

Medals for Mothers of Large Families

~
Representatives Blumle, of Cameron,
is the father of eleven children. all
living. Like President Roosevelt, he
believes in large families, ,and he would
reward the mother of many children in
a substantial way. To-day he introduce
ed bill in the House for that purpose
under the title of "an act to subsidize
large families and to provide for gold
medals for mothers of large families"
1t was greeted with laughter which
grew in volume as speaker Walton re-
ferred it to the Committee on Health
and Sanitation.
The scale of awards fixed by Mr..
Blumle's bill follows:
That any lawfully married woman
who is the mother of six children shall
receive ten dollars in money and a gold
medal not to exceed ten dollars in
value;
The mother of nine children shall re-
ceive $40 and 500 gold medal;
The mother of twelve children shall
receive $25 and a $25 gold medal;
The mother of fifteen children shall
receive $50 and a $50 gold medal.
The bill provides that every seventh
son or daughter of any lawfully mar
ried husband or wife born within the
State shall be educated at the expense
Of the State in the school or college that
the beneficiary shall select provided
that the cost ofsuch education shall not
exceed $780,
The gold medals to be awarded
patriotic mothers who shall make good
their claim to them upon the testimony
of three witnesses before the court of
quarter sessions shall be made from de-
signs furnished by the Governor.
The award of the medals and prize
money shall be made upon the first day
of each July.
The bill provides that its provisions
shall not apply to any woman who has
either been legally divorced or who has
separated from her husband.
MONEY NEEDED IN CAMERON
Blumle regards his measure as good
thing and took occasion, in conversa-
tion with personal friends, 10 promptly
disavow the imputation that he had
more than a passing interest in the
measure. He admits the parentage of
eleven children and did not deny his in
tention of going after the most val liable
gold medal, but says that the measure
is drafted in accordance with the ideas
of President Roosevelt. Although
Blumle is Democrat he does not hesi-
tate to speak boldly in favor of Roose-
velt and his strenuous life ideas.
Blumle furthermore says that if the act
is passed Cameron county will draw
largely from the State treasury and
that the money is needed mp there

Fifteen Dead I'm OIean Horror.

AT $50 o'clock Monday night, Erie
extra freight train No. 1850, westbound,
broke in two on the outskirts of Olean.
The two sections came together, caus-
ing wreck and exploding two tank
cars of gasoline. Three other tanks
cars took fire and large crowd gather
ed to watch the fire. And as a result
fifteen are dead and many injured.
For two hours the people stood mass
ed together, seemingly fascinated by
the bright white flames that shot
hundreds of feet into the air. AS the
heat became less intense the crown be-
gan to edge little closer to the wreck
age.
About II o'clock another of the burn
ing cars exploded with terrific shock.
Great masses ofwhite flames shot hun
dreds of feet into the air and literally
rolled down the banked sides of the
track into the gully where the spectat-
ors were standing. The heat was in
tense.
Men and boys fell before the wave of
white light to rise no more. Huge
| pieces of iron were hurled through the
| air with lightning velocity, moving
down the human beings by the score.
Some managed to scramble to their
feet and get away f Jm the flames, but
others lay still in cath.
The scene ofa Jny and horror at that
moment was eyond description. A
vertiable rain of fire came down upon
the crowd. Men and boys, with their
| clothing a mass of flames, ran down the
track shrieking in their agony, some of
them falling to the ground unconscious,
while others grovelled in the ditch or
| jumped into the creek in a mad en-
| deavor to put out the fire that was con-
suming them.
Many of those overwhelmed by the
flames probably never knew what hap
pened. They dropped where they
| stood and never again moved. The
groans and cries of those manned or
burned were frightful to hear.
The scene at the fire was horrible in
the extreme, the dead bodies being
| scattered along the track for distance
| of several rods. There was still danger
of another tank exploding, and the
crowd was kept back by strong guard.
Volunteers were called for to carry the
wire cots close to the fire, pick up the
dead, and carry them to the ambulance.
Three times as many offered as could
be used, and the gruesome task of col
lecting the dead was performed
Nine bodies were laid in a row at
Quigle's undertaking rooms and six at
Woodard's, presenting fearful sight,
with clothing burned off, limbs twisted
and faces backened and blistered. Sew
eral of them had their skulls smashed
to jelly by the conclusion of the ex-
plosion.
Several of the injured were taken to
their homes, were their injuries were
dressed, and there are still six or eight
persons missing and unaccounted for.
1t is believed that more bodies will
be found in the water surrounding the
, wreck. Crowds of grief-stricken peo-
(, pie fioclzed to the undertaking rooms
during the early moring, endeavoring
to identify missing relatives.
1t is by all odds the worst calamity
Olean has ever known. 1t is believed
arrangements will be made to hold a
union funeral. Many of the corpses
had Tot a shrewd of clothing left on
them. The track was clearad so that
traffic could be resumed about daylight.
