Back to the Pay Car.

Experiments now being made by the
p Il. r., indicate an early return to
the good old days of the pay car and
the payment of employees of monthly
wages by cash instead of by check.
The latter system, after trial of 35
years has been found to have its dis.
advantages, and the company is ex-
perimenting on certain divisions with
payments in cash.
The objections to the check system
are varied. In many instances the en-
plOyes are remote from the banks up
on which their checks are drawn, and
are put to some inconvenience and ex-
pense at times in securing the money.
la other instances employees have ab-
sented themselves from their work for
days, on plea of having to get a check
Cashed.
Probably the strongest objection on
the part of the company is that the
check system tends to the employees
froquenting saloons in order TO get
their checks Dashed. By this practice
they lose a discount and are also prone
TO fall into habits not at all consistent
with good railroading.

The petitioners have not abandoned

at the last moment some solution may
be suggested whereby the trees may

ever seen in this section.
The pods are of about the thickness
of the ordinary string bean, but it is
in length that the beans excel, the
largest in MI. Bookmiller's garden be
ing thiIty-six inches. Several pods
raised by Mr. Bookmiller were on ex-
hibition at J. r. Tooley's store yes
terday, the largest of which measured
twenty y-six inches The seed were OBJ
tanned In Berwick and Mr.. Bookmiller
was much surprised to see the pods at
tain sdoh size.
The large pods, it is said. cook easily
and are very delicious. In Massachu
setts they are raised in great quantities
and are sold by the farmers the same
as any other beans, except that their
great length makes it necessary to coil
them in the half peck measure.

WORKED STRONG
SWINDLING GAME

Late Monday afternoon ii was learn
ed that the horse and buggy left by an
unknown party at the Shamokin
House, had been stolen from Hunter :
livery stable at Danville, by one of the
sliokest individuals that has visited
this section for some time.
During Mr. Hunters absence the
man who gave his name as Frank Rug
giles, of Grovania. near Danville, ap-
preached his son at the livery stable
and said he wanted TO hire one OF
Hunters best horses to be gone three
days in Snyder county to purchase cat
tie. Just about this time a dealer
drives up to the stable with a string
of buggies and the slick swindler i'm
mediately made purchase Of one of
the best. giving his note for eighty
dollars in payment for the same. 1t
seems that the stranger had visited
two other livery stables and had hired
a horse at each place but returned
them claiming they were not as good
as was wanted. When this was learn
ed in connection with the purchase of
the buggy Hunter gave him one Of the
best horses in the stable and three
valuable robes.
Instead of driving to Snyder county
the fellow drove TO Sunbury, leaving
the horse and buggy at the Shamokin
House After being in Sunbury a short
time the swindler offered to sell the
entire outfit for fifty dollars. Leaving
Sunbury he went to farm several
miles below town where he purchased
the entire farm and everything upon
it. He told the party with whom he
made the deal that he should come up
to the Shamokin House and get his
money. After this nothing more of
the fellow was seen.
When Mr. Hunter, ST.. returned
home he searched all the barns at
Selinsgrove and Shamokin Dam and
later Chief of Police Waltz found the
missing outfit.-Sunbury Item.

Additional lien Wanted.

Chief Factory Inspector Delaney. o.
Harrisburg is continuing to expert
ence the same trouble about having
certificates issued to school children
which he prophesied when the Law
went iutO effect in the spring.
Immediately after the new statute
became operative hitch occurred and
Captain Delaney then said that the
same trouble would be repeated, only
on an extended scale, during the eigh.
teen months until the Legislature shall
again meet.
Under the law no child may be EN-.
ployed who is under the age of IA.
Children from IA to l6 may be employ
ed, providing they hold certificates
showing that they are possessed of the
necessary qualifications. The trouble
now is that no one will issue these
certificates because the amount of lab.
or involved is great and the law makes
no provision for compensation.
The duty of issuing the certificates
devolves upon teachers, principals and
superintendents of the public schools
but they refuse to do it unless paid
and there is no way of compelling
them to do the work. And the Depart
ment of Factory Inspection feels, fur
ther, that it is scarcely right to make
them do it, even if that could be done.
Before the law was enacted by the
Assembly, Captain Delaney said the
point in question would be vulner-
able part of the bill and it has SO
proved. Under the old law, repealed
by the one now in force, certificates
were issued by anyone qualified to ad-
minister an oath and the proper fees
were provided Under the existing
law no provision is made even for pay
ing the postage which those who Issue
certificates are compelled TO put upon
the envelopes containing returns to the
headquarters at Harrisburg.
In Philadelphia, Pittsburg and the
Lehlgh mining country Captain De-
laney has been compelled to employ
additional help to issue the certificates
but he must soon dispense with this rs
the cost is too great. The regular
deputy inspectors can not be detailed
to do the work in their respective dis
tricts as they would then have time
for nothing else.
The law is hardship on all concern
ed, for it puts officials in the some
what uncomfortable position of being
compelled to disoblige friends and
children over the legal age who wish
to work are unable to do so for it is a
misdemeanor to employ any child
without such certificate. No remedy
is in sight until the next Legislature.

Frank Bucher at Rivrerside

Frank Bucher, who eight weeks ago
yesterday. was thrown under the cars
at Sunbury, and badly injured, has
been discharged from the Hospital and
is spending few days at the home of
his parents in Riverside.
Frank has so far recovered from the
effects of the amputatiOn that he can
get along very nicely on crutches. He
Is looking very we'll considering the
trying ordeal that he has passed
through. The surgeons were able to
save the heel and ankle of the foot
that was crushed, so that Frank will
be able to get along through life very
we'll, although it is pretty evident that
his days of active railroading are over.
1t is said, however, that as soon as he
is able to work position in another
department of the Pennsylvania rail
road will be oTen for him, at which he
will be able to earn comfortable
livelihood.
Twice the young railroader was ter
ribly injured while on duty, while on
another occasion he escaped instant
death by hairs breadth. 1t is crafty
ing that after such experiences he has

Victim is Unable to Talk.

The little town of Winfield, about
four miles below Lewisburg. has a
mystery.
About ten days ago, a well dressed
stranger got off the evening train in
Winfield. He was accompanied by a
young man in new dark blue suit
and a straw hat The younger of the
two was about twenty years old.
Proceeding to the Hyman Hotel, the
elder man. without registering, secur-
ed room for the young man.
He paid the bill aud remarked that
the rates we're much lower than in
New York Oity. He then said that he
was going away on the night train
but that the young mans sister would
be along in the morning and would
make arrangements to stay some tim Q
at the hotel.
The older man left. and nothing was
thought of the matter until the next
day when the sister failed to arrive.
Attempts to get information from the
strange guest failed in eliciting any
answer. He seemed to be speechless.
After repeated questioning, however,
he several times answered yes" and
mo. But nothing definite could be
learned from him.
He had several dollars in his pockets
and this money he turned over for his
board for the next day or two and then
indicated that his funds were exhaust
ed
No word has been received from the
man who left the youth and no sister
has rs yet made her appearance. Moth
ing was found about the yOnnF man
in any way to identify him. After re-
peatod efforts to learn his name, he
finally succeeded in writing Irwin
