THE GLASS BOTTLE BLOWERS
CONVENTION.


The 9th annual convention of the above
named association was begun in Marietta,
o., on Monday, July II, and old members
speak OF it as the most harmonious and
business-like session ever held. Secretary
Lanner's report is interesting alike TO the
trade and people generally. hence we quote
literally therefrom.
The total income form July l, 1908, to
July i, 1904, was $284, 24s. 90. The trade
assessment, which for the greater part Of the
season was only 2 per cent. on every dollar
earned by the members. amounted to S197-
22S. The amount raised by death assess
ments aggregated $75, 530.27. This assess
ment, which is is cents per member for
every death, was in vogue nearly all season,
although no assessment had been levied for
about ID months previous to last September.
In interest from banks and United States
bonds SO, 354.73 was realized; from loans,
81, 467. 10; from national fines and initiation
fees, 81, s52 95; from supplies, $53.46, and
from sources of a miscellaneous nature,
-
S761.76.
The association s assets amounted on July
/, 1904, to nearly $500, 900, made up as fol-
lows: Four per cent government bonds,
800, 900; general investment fund, S153,
125. 80; death fund, $40, $50 S., or a grand
total of s265, GAG. Is. This is the largest
reserve ever reported by a glassworkers' or
ganization. and places it on a firm basis
when viewed from defense and beneficiary
standpoint.
There were 80 death claims on which
Sac, 900 was paid this year, which was an
increase oyer last year of "a deaths. The
deaths averaged about s per month. The
S42, $50 50 in the death fund will make it
unnecessary, taking last years death rate
average as a basis, to levy another assess
ment for about eight months, by which
time it is thought the fund may be reduced
! to the required reserve of $4,000.
This is the cheapest and easiest insurance
feature ever developed in the glass trade,
and member need not worry himself about
the payments when he is not working, espe-
cially during the summer stop. Just think
Of it, only Is cents on each death and no
assessment in prospect before next March,
and still in case of the death Of any mem
Der his heirs are entitled to draw $500.
The total money spent in New Jersey
last season was $50, 4o5.91, or a decrease Of
Sill, 27s Sc from the previous year. There
were nine new branches organized during
the season and two reorganized. Six lapsed
one at Port Allegany, owing to the plant
burning; one at Norristown and one at
East stroudsburg, Pa, because of the plants
going into receivers hands; another at
Wooster, Ohio, and one at Danville, Him
ois, on account of plants not operating. The
net gain in finances during the year was

The Johnstown Flood at Atlantic CITY.

1t is the desire ct all Atlantic City WISH
tors to be informed, through some reliable
source, what attractions present most for
the money and are most pleasing and popu-
lar to those who throGg this famous
thoroughfare. It may be stated with per
feet truth, that Of all the attractive features
at Atlantic City there are none which out
strip in faithful reproduction, in the
magnifcence of mechanical manipulation,
in the beauty Of electrical effect and in the
selection of theme susceptible of these in
the highest degree, the spectacular scenic
reproduction Of the Johnstown Flood, the
original of which was shown at the Pan
American Exposition. There is beauty,
life, color, action, realism in every scene as
it unfolds itself before the visitor, with the
startling reality of life. Such marvel of
skill is only possible through the scientific
handling of electricity, nature 8 most pow
erful and mysterious agency. There is
nothing in the production to horrify, and
there is everything to enthuse and delight,
and thousands there are who go into the
country, having seen the Johnston food, to
tell the story of its beauty and its realism
to the thousands yet to come Atlantic
City is better by reason of such an attrac-
ton The handsome and imposing struc-
ture, erected especially for this attraction
and located on the Boardwalk opposite the
Steel Pier, is distinctive in the character of
its architecture and a credit to the famous
Boardwalk.

THE LAND FRAUD CASES.

These cases against individuals for
violation of the land laws are again be-
sng conducted by the newspapers, at
aeast for political effect.
Attempts are made to blacken this
man or that man in office. Each bit of
testimony is given a political coloring
by the press.
This style of accomplishing reforms
has been in vogue these many years,
and will end in smoke, as all preceding
efforts have done.
The defendants have been guilty of
vicious practices and possible infrae-
items of the land laws and department
rniings.
But have they done anything that has
mot been done almost open and above

Men are trying to make political

Hundreds of men prominent in Ore

sanetimonious tread and shake their in

depravity of these defendants,
IL is true, as the world goes, some
one should be convicted, and more than
likely some one will be convicted.

Why was the old Republican home

law today, if II were in forcey would
save our lands for the actual settler.
But no, our state laws and our federal
laws have been framed to encourage
wholesale land-grabbing and spoilation
of the public domain, not by honest
settlers, but in the interest of the Off
cial and predatory classes.
The speeulator and the investor have
dedicated land policies, and the great

AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK.

With reference to the suggestion ad-
vanced by the Hon. G. A. Parsons at the
recent British Association meeting,
that deep borings should be made into
the earth g crust for the purposes of in
vestigation of the earth g interior, and
that shaft such as this might be sunk
to depth of IL miles, another scient-
ist has pointed out that the pressure Of
the rock at such depth represents
some 40 tons per square inch and would
render the task impossible owing to the
inward viscious flow of the rock mater
ial. In reply the Hon. G. A. Parsons
suggests an experiment to solve the
problem. He points out that the crush
ing strength required to make hardened
steel flow lies between 120 and 300
tons to the square inch while for tough
brass or cartridge metal the flow is
at about 80 tons per square inch pres
sure. His experiment would be to take
a column of granite or quartz rock and
carefully fit it into steel mould. A
small hole would then be bored through
its center and a pressure of 100 tons
per square inch then applied, to observe
what shrinkage you'd result. Such a
pressure as this would correspond to
that encountered at a depth of 3S
miles.

Starved TO Death.

Our text today is the story of the
miser who taught his ass TO live on
straw, of which he gave him a smaller
portion every day.
just as the miser got him so trained
as to eat one straw a day-the poor
ass died.
He is an ass who starves himself to
death--as thousands are doing, misled
by foolish teachers-because their
stomachs have become too weak,
through neglect or disease, to do the
work which nature has provided for
their stomaehs to do.
Because the engine is out of gear,
would you eonsign it to the junk heap'
Why, mol mend it!

Certainly notl Take Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets.
One thing is sure as shooting.
You can never get new stomach.
You must mend it, or it will lead
you miserable existence.
The only way to mend it is to take
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
This has been practically and scien-
ti6cally demonstrated by the many
thousands whom Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have positively cured, after
every other treatment of medicine,
mineral water, pills, and slow, suicidal
starvation, had failed,
These methods are all unseientifc-
therefore false.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sci
entihc-therefor true, and successful
Having cured so many thousands
many of whom doubtless have suffered
more than you do-do we claim too
much when we say that stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will surely do good ia
youf
Surely not.
Especially when we make it plain
that no promise is made to cure more
than one disease Dyspepsia.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
positive cure for just this one disease
There are scientific combination OF
ingredients which search out the weak
spots in all the digestive organs and
make them strong and well.
They have an immediate digestive
action ON undigested food, and thus
while curing weak organs, they at the
same time help them to DO their work
They thus stand for all that is goOC
in the medical treatment of Dyspepsia
and for nothing that is bad.
They are not a fad but a fact.
They are safe, pleasant, certain ant

demnnd for a cOmpensation more nearIy

demand for compensation more nearly
equal.
There are causes Of friction among
the patrons of the service in addition to
those we haye mentioned. The fact is,
that the system has been built up so
rapidly that the advanced theories
have not as yet had time to adjust
themselves to unexpected conditions,
and unforeseen obstacles. The postal
scandal, which involved the principal
organizer and promoter of rural free
delivery inside the department, and led
to his separation from the service, nee
essarily complicated an already difficult
situation. The administrative problems
had to be taken up and solved by new
men, and the service suffered serious
setback from that cause.
One by one vital questions will come
up for solution which will require the
highest wisdom, both in congress and
the department, to settle properly. No
cohBreSS hoI thS uePai thiohO WIN
possess that wisdom unles they are
assisted by observant and intelligent
patrons of the rural service-the farm
ers themselves. The Sentry believes
thoroughly in the curative power of an
intelligent public opinion. 1t is the
duty of the press and of all educational
agencies to encourage this opinion in
the direction of genuine and permanent
reform. In no direction can. that opin
ion now be better concentrated than in
improving and perfecting the rural free
delivery service. THE SENTRY.
