Bonfire the Cigarettes.

Bonfire the cigarettes is the agree
ment of Coudersport citizens, every
merchant in the town, except one,
having signed an agreement to neither
sell the coffin nails or the papers. The
Same plan should be followed in EN-
porium, where the injurious and dis
gusting habit has assumed a terrible
pace, especially among the young
boys. The editor of this paper has
noticed daily this winter, the large
number of school lads, ranging from
seven to II years of age, who have &C
quired the deadly habit Parents, as
we'll as teachers, should take stringent
measures to put stop to this death
dealing practice. The Coudersport
Journal in speaking of the crusade
against the cigarette, says:
"The prevalence of cigarette smok-
ing among the boys of this town led
to the Journals strong denunciation
two weeks ago of the traffic in the
pernicious goods, and the crusade
against them taking practical shape,
has led to a very gratifying result.
Every dealer in cigars and tobacco in
Couderspor5 borough has signed an
agreement to keep or sell no cigarettes
or cigarette paper This agreement,
when presented to the dealers, met
with a very cordial reception from
every dealer in town except one.
That one had evinced a disposition to
evade the law, and was not in a posi-
ton to oppose the movement.
Some of the dealers had never kept
either cigarettes nor cigarette papers
Others kept the papers (which are
sent with smoking tobacco but would
net keep cigarettes. The sentiment
was almost unanimous against the
sale of either, and to the credit of our
merchants, let it be recorded, they
were willing to forego what little profit
might be made by the sale for the sake
of keeping them out of the reach of the
boys. Those who had stock on hand
have agreed to take cost for them. if
the money can be raised to paw for
them, and in that case bonfire will be
made in the near future, sacrifice in
the cause of decency and right. In
case they are not so bought, the few
dealers who have a stock will close
them out and not order any more"

Why The Press and Pulpit are Alike.

A minister in neighboring town
took newspaper man to task in this
way: "You editors do not tell the
truth. you did you could not live:
your newspaper would be a failure.n
The editor replied: 'You are right
and the minister who at all times and
under all circumstances tells the truth
about his members alive or dead, will
not occupy his pulpit more than one
Sunday, and then he will find it neces
airy to leave town IN a hurry. The
press and pulpit go hand in hand, with
white wash brushes and pleasant words
magnifying little virtues into big ones.
The pulpit, the pen and the gravestone
are the great saint.making triumvi-
rate" And the minister went awav
looking very thoughtful. while the
editor turned to his work and told of
the surprising beauty of the bride.
while in fact she was as homeiy as a
mud fence.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.),

Assurances continue to be re-
ceived at the White House that
there is practically no opposition
to the nomination of the President
at the Chicago convention. Ex-
Senator Manderson of Nebraska
says the entire west is for Roose-
welt. The same news comes from
the Eastern states, and promin-
ent lawyer from Connecticut in
Washington his week said that in
that state Democracy is as dead as
a door nail. The announcement
of the fatal ILLNESS Of Senator
Hanna has brought sudden har-
mony to the discordant elements
in Ohio, and the delegation to Chi
cago promises to be d unit for
Roosevelt. The President is very
busy. having many things to look
after. He does not expect an early
adjournment of Congress and will
be unable to leave Washington to
attend banquets and make
speeches. He will have his little
walk of s or 10 miles and is in
splendid health. On the 10Th inst.
he issued proclamation of neu-
trality towards Russia and japan.
and announced the law which for
bids Americans from entering the
service of either combatant. The
President has been assured that
the Panama treaty will be ratified
in a few days. Relying upou this
belief he is now carefully consider
ing the personal of the Canal Com
mission, and the Atty. General
Knox, is examining the Spooner
act to see if it gives the President
full authority to issue bonds to
raise the needed money and ap-
point the Commission. Thus far
Admiral Walker, Gen. Geo. w.
Davis and Isham Randolph of Chi
cago have been named for the
Canal Commission. The new pen
sion bill excites much interest at
the White House, but it will be
some time before the Committee on
Invalid Pensions reports to Con-
gress.
Both of the pure food bills are
now before the Senate, and manu-
facturers of food products favor the
bill since in many instances if will
relieve them from oppressive State
laws. The Senate Committee on
Commerce will report on the 18th
inst. that the nomination of DIR.
Crum as collector of the 'port Of
Charleston. S. c.. be confirmed.
The L. s. Navv will cost nearly
500, 900. 900 next wear It is not
likely that a vote will be reached
on the eight-hour law, The pro-
position with which the territorial
committee is now laborinp is to
admit Oklahoma and Indian Torr;-
tory as one State and New Maxico

Indian. With Jewish Blood.

Sir Alexander Mackenzie had an idea
that the Indians of the far northwest
were partly Jewish in origin. From
Lake Athabasca in 1894 he set out al
the head of an expedition lin a birch
bark canoe twenty-five feet long. four
and .three-quarters feet beam and
twenty-six inches hold, With 5000
pounds of baggage and provisions and
q crew of nine French Canadians. He
reached the Pacific coast and returned.
The aborigines he met were for the
most part possessed Of strongly reli-
gious instincts" said he in his report.
with regard to their origin, all we are
prepared to state after a careful sur
vey of their languages, manners and
customs is that they are undoubtedly
of a mixed origin; come from the north
northwest and had commerce in their
early history perhaps through inter
marriage with people of Jewish per-
suasion or ORIGIN"

NEW ZEALAND GEYSERS.
Among Them IL Said to be the Big.
gest SpOuter In the World.

Among Them Il Said to De the Big.
gest Spouter In the World.
Yellowstone park is reputed to have
the most magnificent geyscrs in the
world. but their reputation is based
have been to New Zealand and
who know nothing of it's natural won-
ders.
Leaving Auckland by a fast express
train, a journey of eight hours brings
one to Rotorua, where may be seen the
most splendid geyscr which is proba-
bly, to be found anywhere in the world.
To give one some idea of the magni-
tude Of the geyser l need mention only
the height Of some Of the surround
ing objects. Over the Inferno crater"
which contains a SETTLING lake Of wa
ter, is a small shelter shed $50 feet
above the plain. The surface Of the
water in the geyser basin when at
rest is about forty feet below this
plain. The height Of the eruption
must often be about 900 feet. This
is by no means exceptional. Higher
shots have been recorded. l have
myself seen u shot computed ut 1900
feet. Some months ago the area of
the basin was measured in a small
boat by u Mr.. Buckcridge and a guide.
They found that the area is about two
and q half acres. from which it may
be inferred that this geyser may well
be called the largest in the world.
The geyser plays about twenty-five
times each month, is very erratic and
gives no warning when it is about to
erupt. The theory is advanced that
the basin is somewhat like a funnel
and that when the water and stones
are elected the larger stones return
and jam in the neck. Hereby choking
the outlet, so that an enormous pres
sure of steam must shift them. When
the pressure is sufficiently great to
blow out the distractions it naturally
would eject water to Il great height.
The theory, however, is at best rather
fanciful.
This geyser is not the only one to
be seen in the vicinity. Others may
be mentioned. such as the Pohutu,
| Wairoa, Feather, P%apakura and 9th
ers, besides mud volcanoes.-ScicntifiC
