MRS. CHADwICK's AUDACITY.

1t is only in novels that the Jean Vaeans are

life the Jean Vatican and the Jeanne Valjeans often
follow the noiseless tenor of their way without
molestation SO long they keep out of fresh
troubles
Mrs. Chadwick has been identified as Nine De
We're by former matron of the Columbus penten-
tiary, but prison record presented no insurmonnt
able obstacles to clever woman. She did not even
take the trouble to leave the State but tripped
lightly from the penitentiary to Cleveland
married prominent physician, established herself
in conspicuous social position, borrowed millions
from susceptible bankers and played her game as
recklessly as if she had no past to conceal. The
boldness of her operations assisted her in
screening her past Nobody would dream that a
woman who held good social position, spent money
freely and was concerned chiefly about further So
cial advancement could possibly have been an in
mate of prison.
There was nothing in her financial opera
ton. Mrs Chadwick is not the first person to dis
cover the weakness of many bankers for bonuses
and to take the fullest advantage of that weakness
Neither is she the first person to furnish worthless
collateral for loans. But that the woman should
have been able to achieve such social and financial
prominence in the State that once confined her in
penitentiary was triumph of magnificent audac-
ity over all plausbility.

GAS VERSUS ELECTRICITY.

The incandescent mantle has saved the gas in
dustry, and not only saved it but placed it in such
position that gas lighting by modern methods of
high-pressure incandcscence, inverted burners and
forth, threatens to outstrp electricity for general
lighting purposes. This is exaggeration when
reflect that invariably the finest streets in the
great cities of Europe lighted with incan
descent gas burners, and if the hghpressure ncan-
scent lamps be compared with the electric arc
lights at some of the busy street crossings in Lon
don there can be e't'on of the great su ,erior
ity of the incandescent gas system In fact in
era places the electric lights may well not be
in in the face of the brilliant penetrating light
of the incandescent mantle. This week at gas ex-
hbtion held in the exhibition buildings at Earl's
Court may be seen incandescent gas burners work
ing under pressure with the light of which the cleo
trio light cannot compete with the brilliancy,
steadiness, penetrating power tone. Nor is it on
the large scale alone that gas is seriously rivaing
electricity. The inverted incandescent gas burner
is hardly dstingushable in appearance from the in
candescent electric light in the artistic lighting of
domestic rooms.

Biggest Railway Station In the World.

The townsmen of Leipsic, Saxony,

the biggest railroad station in the
world. 1t will be spanned by seven
immense arches each 140 feet wide,

5000 to build. Marble, granite,
bronze and steel will be lavishly used
The waiting and refreshment rooms

The Confident Grsnaers.

In the matter Of optimism our es
tecmed friends, the Grangers, take
the cake and chief among them, and
the most hopeful of all, is our dis
tinguished and valued contem porary,
the Hon. William L. Greasy. We are
influenced tn thesa thoughts by the
T1ce,d.nss of the State Grange,
which has been in session at Erie
during the greater part of the week.
The gentlemen composing this august
body have been knocking" some, 1t
must be admitted, but in the main
the spirit of contentment and confid-
ence is revealed in all their delihe,a-
tions.
This is especially conspicuous in
the report of the legislative commit
toe. AS the esteemed Erie "Herald"
remarked, "the report was a master.
ly one and showed much careful
thought and preparation" 1t showed
more than that. In every sentence
it breathes superiority to defeat and
impregnability to even attack. 1t
refers with pa" lonable pride to the
questions submitted to the candidates
for Congress and Senators and Repre-
sentatives in the Legislature during
the recent campaign, and though only
one Congressman, one State Senator
and fifteen Representatives in the
Legislature who answered the ques
tions affirmatively, were elected, the
committee is contented with and
proud of its work.
These grangers may have ample
reason for their contentmcnt with e1.
isting conditions, however. As the
report says, ''one of the foremos,
questions confronting the farmers
and other real estate owners is the
equalization of taxation" aud though
the force in the Legislature which
will favor justice in that matter il
weak in number it is strong in cour
age, ability and integrity. Mr.
Greasy himself, strengthened by ex
perience and sustained by courage
will be central figure on the fool
of the House and with zimmerman, O
Montour; Harman, of Columbia
Finn, of Elk, and others to back hin
more may be achieved than greater
numbers with less integrity and abil
ity could accomplish.-Star Indepen

Squatters Get Title to Old Purdon Lands.

Miss Maria Taggart Purdon, of
Pine street, Philadelphia, now 80
years old, in the spring of 1904 took
out letters of administration in Phia-
delphia on the estate of her grand
father, John Purdon, compiler of
Purdon's Digest.
Through her counsel she brought
an ejectment suit in the Snyder
county courts to recover tract of
$50 acres of land, known as Purdon-
ia, against Job Hartman and seven
other defendants in Centre and
Adams townships. The plaintiff show
ed chain of title from 1773 to
1886.
The defendants pleaded the statute
of limitations and got a verdict.
They have had possession of the land
for more than seventy years.

POSSIBLE BUT NOT PROBABLE.

Some years ago were asked whether we
thought woman could travel with show and be
a lady Our reply was that we thought it quite
possible but very improbable. Today we are con-
fronted with similar question: Can child be
brought up at work in factory mill and be made
a good citizen! Our answer is almost similar: I.
is certainly possible but not probable
There are very limited number of our read
who will fail to give hearty assent to all that is
said about the evil of child labor. Probably there
are few who realize how many children of tender
years, and of both sexes, work in factories under
conditions calculated to stunt and cripple their de-
velopment and to make them anything but the ideal
citizens and mothers, the sturdy men and women
who must make or mar the future of each commun-
ity.
Upon the question of female labor in factories,
there is room for two opinions. Under enlightened
direction no harm may of it, while the earning
power of families and their comfort and welfare are
thereby greatly increased, with resulting import
ance and independence on the part of the weaker
sex, which may not be agreeable to some of their
brethren, but which offers good reason for the
fact that the position of working women in this
country is better than in any other
The labor unions have circulated a paper that
is somewhat extravagant in its language when it
refers to ''the Of enforced slavery of women
and children who are compelled to earn living, "
and calls for the summary wiping out of industries
kept alive by the lfe-blood of these unfortunates
for surely it is good that most of are compelled
to earn a living one way another; and there is
really very little labor that be fairly and calmly
called enforced slavery or waste of lfe-blood. Moth
ing is gained and much force is lost by extravagant
language.
Perhaps it would be difficult to speak with toe
much force or feeling with regard to the evils OF
child labor, but the women, rule, seem to be
| pretty we'll able to speak for themselves, and lust
now they are rather more urgent in demanding equal
pay with men for equal work performed.
1t is the appeal for children that claims our
most hearty sympathy. They truly labor in en-
forced slavery when they toll long hours in factor
les under conditions which cannot but injuriously
affect their development without giving them the
educational return which comes with the compare
lively brief and we'll ordered confinement in school
| Men are unconsciously selfish, solitary and very
short-sighted. They cannot see beyond their noses
save in the direct line of their own business anc
duties. The state should most jealously care fol
the children, whose parents may be induced to per
nit them to work thus in factories; for thus weak
lings and Anarchists bred, thus in boyhood the
right balance of many man is spoiled.

A Light that Will Never Go Out.

A thirty six candle-power light
which will never go out has been dis.
covered by an inventor in London.
While experimenting with photo
graphic chemicals some years ago
Magrady's tention was attracted by
a glow in small globe, caused by a
chemical compound. Magrady en-.
larged the glow and perfected the
light by placing it in an alright
glass. He says there is no reason
why the light will not remain brilli,
ant forever, if the glass is not broken.
A company has been formed to manu-
facture the light.
