TYLER COUNTY
Should Follow Example Set by
Counties IN Our Sister State.

A new public road system is be-
ing inaugurated in Washington
and other counties in Pennsyl-
yania. and which Tyler county
might do well to pattern after.
In speaking of the matter the
Washington Reporter says:
With the beginning OF Finn
road Improvement and the an
nouncement that the average cost
will be about $4,000 mile, many
taxpayers were of the opinion
that the cost was too high; that
$4,000 was too much to pay for a
mile of road improvement. This
week the commissioners of Allie
cheney county awarded contracts
for the improvement of five Sec
lions of country roads, involving
in all twenty-five miles OF road.
According to reliable reports, the
cost of these roads is to be $16,-
900 a mile. There is some differ
ence between the Washington
county and the Allegheny coun-
ty roads in the fact that those
in Allegheny county are made a
little wider than those in this
county, but not more than three
feet. at the most.
The Washington county roads
are to be improved ten feet in
width, and the same kind OF
workmanship and material will be
used in erecting the Finn roads
in this county as in Allegheny
county, and the county commits
sioners say that the roads will be
Just as good. 1t has been known
that Allegheny county had been
paying high prices for Finn
roads, and when the commission
ers took up the Finn road I'M
provement here they did not de.
sire the cost to come near that OF
the Allegheny roads.

Judge Septimus J. Hanna, c. s. D., will lecture at the Hyperion on Sunday afternoon at o'clock on Christian Science. At the age of twenty three, he was appointed to fill vacancy in the judiciary in the circuit court at Council Bluffs, Ia.
 He was one of two men at the worlds congress of religions at Chica- go during the worlds fair who was all lowed to talk over the time limit. He represented the Christian Scientists and when he had spoken his allotted time he was allowed thirty minutes more by unanimous consent, so inter- esting was his address.

George W. Jacobs and Company, of 1,21s Walnut street, Philadelphia, have just issued the first volume in their American Crisis Biographies" a se- ries of publications of permanent value, which will appeal to ali Americans and should find a place in every library. The first volume is devoted to Abraham Lincoln, and Is very thorough and complete production. The new book on Lincoln is by Ellis Paxson Oberholtzer, Ph. D. The series will include twenty five volumes and will constitute com plete and comprehensive history of the great American struggle in the form of readable and authoritative biography.
 The editor. who contributed this first volume, has enlisted the cooperation of many competent and well known writers, among them John R. Spears, Guy Carleton Lee, Booker T. Washing ton. w. E. Burghardt DuBeis, etc. An interesting feature of the undertaking is that the series is to be impartial, southern writers having been assigned to southern subjects and northern wri- ters to northern subjects. but all will belong to the younger generation of writers, thus assuring freedom from any suspicion of wartime prejudice. The civil war will not be treated as a rebellion, but as the great event in the history of our nation, which, after for ty years, it is now clearly recognized to have been. ss.
 The firm has also ready the second volume, Thomas H. Benton" by Jo- all of which are. in preparation, are as follows: William T. Sherman, by Ed ward Robins; John. c. Calhoun, by Gaillard Hunt: Daniel Webster, by Professor c. H. Van Tyne; Alexander H. Stephens, by Louis Pendleton; John Quincy Adams. by Brooks Adams; John Brown, by W. E. Burghardt Du- bois; William Lloyd Garrison, by Lind- say Swift: Charles Sumner, by Profes- sor Franklin s. Edmonds; William H. Seward, by Edward Everett Hale, IT,; Frederick Douglass. by Booker T.. Washington; Jefferson Davis, by Pro- lessor w. E. Dodd: Robert E. Lee, by Governor Carleton Lee; David c. Far ragut by John R, Spears; Judah F. Benjamin, by Pierce Butler; Thaddeus Stevens, by Professor J. A. Woodburn; Andrew Johnson. by Waddy Thomp- son.
 These will be followed by Henry Clay, stephen A. Douglas, U. s. Grant, Edwin M. Stanton, Jay Cooke, Wade Hampton and "Stonewall" Jackson. The price per volume is $1.25 net; by mail $1s7; for sale at all leading book stores.

 ic deeds of the fishermen and their wives, and an article by Annie Payson Call about Christmas.

Maltbie D. Babcock the noted and elo- quent Baptist clergyman, pastor of the Brick church, New York city, whose early death caused deep and genuine sorrow and was so greatly and widely deplored, is just issued by Fleming H. Reyell Company, New York. It is well characterized as A Reminiscent Sketch and Memorial and Is from the pen of Rev. Dr. Charles E. Robinson, who was one of Dr. Babcock's dearest friends, and who, though unrelated to him save in love was always Uncle Charlie to MT. Babcock. Robert E. Speer says of the book in The Record of Christian Work: No biography could have hreathed out more faithfully or sWeetly the lovely fragrance of this remarkable life--a life that would almost drive oth- CT Christian workers without his rare endowments to despair, if they were not in the same moment led by it into more serene and beautiful peace in the doing of Gods will and the service of His love, as the one satisfying mis- sion of life, devoid of envy of others and of self-measurement alike. The temptation is to summarize here the rare and noble qualities of the unique personality of which Dr. Robinson writes. but it must suffice to urge that all readers of the Record read also this exquisite sketch of one of the purest, most eager and most loving men who have tried in our day to follow the Saviour who said, If you will come aft CT Me will make you to be fishers of men, Price $1.00; for sale at all lead ing bookstores.

Elements of Botany revised edi- tion, with key and flora, by Joseph Y. Bergen, formerly instructor in biology in English High school. Boston; pub lished by Ginn and Company, Boston. This work is designed to furnish a half-year course in the subject for stu- dents in secondary schools. It covers all the ground which ordinary classes can traverse in the time indicated, and endeavors to present only those topics which are essential to an elementary course in the science.
 It differs from the earlier editions of the "Elements' mainly in the greater stress laid on the topics of oecology and cryptogannic botany, in the some- what abbreviated directions for histo- logical work on seed plants, and in the greatly improved quality of the illus trations. Minor changes will be found on almost every page
 The book is especially characterized:
 By the natural method of presenta- lessor Huxley recommended, to the comparatively familiar forms and pro- cesses of plant life. n
 By the sparing use of technical terms
 By the treatment of the structures and the functions of plants conseeu- lively, not in widely separated portions of the book.
 By the intimate combination of labo- ratory work with discussion.
 By the accuracy of the illustrations

LIKELY TO RETIRE
CHIEF JUSTICE RICHARD H.
ALVEY OF COURT OF APPEALS.
Not in Vigorous Health - Senator
McComas Spoken of as Prob
able Successor.

1t is understood by the friends OF Chief
Justice Richard II. Alvey Of the Court of
Appeals Of the District of Columbia that he
will retire from the bench about the first
of the new year Justice Alvey was COM
missioned April 15 1893. and took the oath
Of office May following He has been In
Ill health for some time and it was only on
occasions in the past year that he was able
to take his place on the bench. He 10
eligible for retirement and his decision to
leave the bench and its vicissitudes, owing
to his physical condition, is regarded by
his friends as a wise step.
In connection with the vacancy on the
Court Of Appeals bench. which will result
from Justice Alvey's retirement. the name
Of Senator McComas Is most prominently
mentioned. The justice and senator are
both Marylanders and were born in WASH
IL gton county of that state. Senator Nc
Comas' previous service on the District
bench is said to eminently fit him to wear
the ermine which will be laid aside by JUS
tice Alvey, and the fact that his term
United States senator will soon expire lends
additional strength to the talk of his APP
pointment as Judge Alvey's successor.
Judge Alvey is one of the best-known
and most highly respected of the jurists
who have sat on the District bench.
He was in his sixty-seventh year when
President Cleveland appointed him to the
chief judgeship of the Court of Appeals in
1893. Prior to accepting his present posi-
ton he was Judge of the sixth judicial cir
cult of Maryland, and then chief justice OF
the circuit His Washington residence Is
at 80 B street northwest. but he is now at
his home In Hagerstown. Md.
