Oentralia Bad Man Captured.

Avid eyed Italian who has been
terrorizing Centralia was arrested
Friday night by constable Condy
Langan. On Thursday night the
fellow, Dominic Dominic. entered
Tretter's saloon and after getting
several drinks refused to pay
Tretter and his son-in. law, Joseph
Gustnia, attempted to force him to
settle when Demnio pulled a razor
and drove them out. He then left
but came back again Friday night
and renewed the trouble, threatened
to burn the place down and whirled
his razor around three Mount Car
mel men waiting for the car. Con-
stable Langan was summoned but
the fellow escaped and was later
caught in the swamp west of Cen
tralia by Langan and Bernard Cane.
Before Squire Black the fellow was
held in $1,000 bail but he couldn't t
furnish it. He was brought to
Bloomsbury on Saturday, and lock-
ed up.

she to be taught it, and why has the
instruction been SO long delayed ?
The petitioner is large and, ap-
parently, a strong, healthy girl, and
there is no reason disclosed why she
should not have been taught in the
ordinary duties of housekeeping. A
large portion of the women marry
under FL years of age, and there is no
good reason why a gIrl of that age
should not be thoroughly trained in
everything necessary to the proper
management OF home. This voun.
tary declaration of the father implies
c neglect, which may have extended
to her moral interests.
OF all men living, William Rismiller
is the one who ought to marry the
petitioner, and if he does not, who
will? AS l am charged with the duty
IN the premises of doing what, In my
opinion, would be best for the pc
titioner, and as it is my opinion that
she will be best served by opening
the way for her to marriage, | will
grant the prayer of The petitioner"

DEATH IN ROENTGEN RAYS.

That is startling story which
comes from Menlo Park, telling of
the dire effects upon Thomas A.
Edison and his assistant Of continu-
Gus experiment with the Roentgen
or X-rays. 1t is the testimony of
one of the leading physicians of
New Jersey that Mr.. Edison's eye
sight has been seriously affected,
and his assistant, young man
named Daily, has been forced to SUIT
fer the amputation of his lett arm
and all the fingers of his right hand.
1t is the testimony of Mr.. Edison
himself that he has abonded expert
ment with the X-rays with which
he hoped to produce a huorescent
lamp as he found that the rays were
driving him to blindness.
This is disheartening information
10 the world. which has been led to
nope that the wonderful and mex
plicable rays which had the quality
of penetrating opaque substances,
would effect cures of disease that
had baffled all science. 1t has been
asserted that the rays would cure
cancer and internal humorous affec.
tios, yet one Of the results of the
experiments of young Daily was the
development of skin cancer. One
of the earliest effects was the with
ering OF the flesh and dropping out
of the hair. Then came sclerosis
or hardening of the arteries, numb
ness and paralysis of the hands and
arms.
1t is a.. parent from this that scien-
lists have much to reckon with in
tnese recent discoveries of X-rays,
uranium, polonium and radium that
is yet of character mysterious, not
to say awe inspiring. Professor
Curie, the discoverer of radium,
declares that if one were the pos
SCISSOR of pound or two of the
mysterious substance, and were to
remain in the same room with it a
few minutes he would be shrivelled
and paralyzed. Possibly expert
mentation will develop means for
the perfectly safe and valuable use
of these discoveries, but nature
claims many victim among those
who attempt to drag to light her
secrets. .--HarylSbNrg Patriot.

Goal in Salem Township.

One year ago, says the Berwick
Inatpenaenf, it was predicted that
coal would be found on the Warner
property in Salem township. Coal
bearing slate has been found in large
quantities and very combustible
kind of anthracite coal has been un-
covered. The matter has attract
ed attention and a state geologist
visited the locality and examined
the workings and the out. put. The
Pennsylvania Company has entered
into AN agreement with Mr.. Warner
and with the owners of the sur
rounding land in which they under
take to bore for coal on their re-
spective farms and to allow the in
terested parties to examine the
cores produced through the use of
the diamond drill. The prospect
ing right extends over a period of
one year. The Pennsylvania Coal
Company has installed a diamond
drill and operations will begin as
soon as the other necessary machin-
cry arrives.

Relief for Lockjaw.

A correspondent of the Scientific
Amerlfan says: let onyone who has
a case of lockjaw take quantity OF
turpentine, warm it and pour it on
the wound, no matter where it is, and
relief will follow in less than minute.
Nothing better can be applied to a
severe cut or bruise than cold turpen-
tine. 1t will give certain relief almost
instantly. Turpentine is also a sover-
eign remedy for Group. Saturate and
place the flannel on the throat and
chest, and in each case three or four
drops may be taken inwardly on a
lump of sngar.

No Better Than Vandals.

According to report, the sea lion
which has occasioned so much ex-
citement in various towns along the
river has been killed. 1t was club
bed to death at Elmira. Editor
Newell, of the Dushore Reviezo has
little love for the men who did the
killing, as can be seen from the
following excerpt from his last is
sue: The escaped sea lion
which was in reality nothing but a
seal with coat of no marketable
value, swan up the Chemung as
tar as the dam at Elmira. He
couldn t get over the dam. and the
water was shallow in his rear, and
three men in boat, to say nothing
OF the dog, blocked his escape.
With great courage CD they club
bed the poor animal to death, and
dragged his body around town for
the curious to gaze al. We cannot
understand why some people have
an uncomfortable desire to kill every
harmless animal that they can get
their hands on, and when they can
not reach him with club, to use a
rifle. The men who murdered the
harmless Seal were no better than
vandals. We don't know who they
were, and If they are subscribers to
this paper they are at liberty to
pay up and stop. We think mighty
little Of them"

Court Pities Girl Of 20.
Says Parents Should Have Trained Her to
Marry at That Age,

In an opinion handed down on
Thursday. Judge H. Willis Bland, of
the Berks Orphans Court, not only
breaches sermon to parents upon
the training Of their children, but es.
tablshes a precedent that may go far
toward settling very troublesome
problem.
He plainly states that where paren is
fail to act with wisdom the Courts
must step IN and see that the futures
of the daughters are not bligh,ed-
that where girl has "loved not wisely
but too well" there is another course
than the one that leads TO the brothel.
William Rissmlller and Mary Lorah,
of Blandon, have been lovers for sew
eral years and affianced since last
September Miss Lorah is but 20
years of age, and, her parents contend,
"too young and not sufficiently ac-
qualnted with household duties to
marry" though she has incurred an
obligation to do so. Rissmiller is
20, and earns So day in the Blandon
rolling mill.
When, after numerous entreaties,
Allen Lorah, the girls father, refused
to sign the application for a marriage
license, petition was presented TO
Judge Bland asking HIM to appoint a
guardian who could give the necessary
consent
The Judge has appointed William
H. Boyer as the guardian, and filed
an opinion that can be studied with
profit by many parents. In it he says;
"Thls is one of type of cases
which has come before this Court ol
late with deplorable and, indeed, pain
ful frequency. 1t is a case hard TO
deal with because it involves the
question of the Courts interference
IN matter which nature and law
commit primarily to the domestic au-
thority of parents.
"Some parents seem to think that
the whole circle of their duty to their
children embraces nothing but the
supply of their physical needs, and
that if they clothe them, feed them and
house them they have performed their
whole duty. They seem to be I'M
aware of the fact that all the value
and beauty of life have their seat and
source in the soul, and that while the
supply of the physical wants of child
rem is necessary to the maintenance
OF their bodies, the nurture of true
cultivation of their spiritual life ard
character is the highest duty and most
sacred function of the parent.
"There is significant statement in
the answer filed by the father in this
case, and strongly persuasive, as evil
dence that the petitioner here has not
received that home training to which
she was entitled. The answer says
tnat she lis too young and not sufi-
clently acquainted with household dut-
les TO enter the bonds of matrimony.
In little more than a month she
Will be 20 years of age, and in another
year she will attain her majority, when
she will be free to marry when and
whom she pleases. If she has not yet
been trained in the performance OF
the duties of housekeeping, when is

There seems no Improvement in
Turkish social life this year.. During
the last week two incidents have oc.
Cured showing what sort of existence
people lead. A certain high official
had issued Invitations for a dinner. As
the guests began to assemble police
came to the Goor and informed the
host there must be no dinner. No
reason was given, and the guests were
sent away. Another night four high
officials were playing cards when the
police came in and arrested them.
They were set at liberty a few hours
later, but were warned not to do it
again. Spies are everywhere, and if

A SETTLEMENT AT HAND.

Since the election of 1892, when the
location of the agricultural college was
voted upon by the people Of the state,
there has bee a biennial fight between
the people of this county and the peo-
pie Of Fremont county, the legislature
being the battle ground. Men have
been chosen to represent Fremont
county solely because Of their supposed
ability in handling legislative matters;
and Albany county has also had an eye
to the main chance. Torrey and Ran.
ney made themselves famous because
Of their legislative and political
acumen. During their term they sue
ceeded in passing their bill through the
house. but it met defeat in the senate.
All sorts of trades and combinations
have been made because OF this mat
ter, this political fulcrum about which
all the other interests of Albany county
have been bent.
We are all sick and tired of the IRE
pressible conflict and the people Of
Fremont county are also weary. 1t is
understood they are willing to submit
the entire matter to a vote Of the peo-
pie, the question of altitude not being
taken into consideration. and that
manner of settlement has been agreed
upon by the representatives Of Albany
county. There is danger in such a set
Element of course. but the matter will
be settled for all time and will not be
constantly bobbing up to handicap us
in every political race. II the people
OF the state declare at the polls that
the university should be divided. then
we will have to submit gracefully and
make the best of it. On the other hand.
II they declare that it should remain
intact. then we will retain 1t without
this perennial conflict for all time to
come.
The game is worth the candle.
