Two Important Bills.

Among the bills introduced in the
State Legislature are two which will be
watched with considerable interest by
the public as we'll as by those most di-
rectly interested in the disposition of
the bills. One is to compel BARRIERS to
register. This bill was introduced by
Ar. Campbell, Of Mexican county. BY
the bill it is made illegal for anyone to
practice the trade of Il barber without
having secured a proper certificate. A
board of examiners is appointed by the
Governor, who in conjunction with the
State Board of Health will prescribe
proper sanitary rules for barber shops.
The other bill is for the protection of
miners in case of accident. Itwas intro
duced by Jefferson county's representa-
tive, Hon. S. Taylor North, and in re-
ferring to the measure the Harrisburg
Star -Lndependem says: "If bill intro
duced in the House this morning
by Mr.. North, of Jefferson, should
become law, probably every miner in
the State will eventually rise up and
call him blessed, for it provides for con-
veylng air to workers imprisoned in
subterranean excavations in case of ac-
cident. Ia all pits which shall be start
cd for the purpose of mining coal or
clay after January |, 1906, when twenty
Or more persons shall be employed
therein, the owners must run pipes not
less than six inches in diameter beneath
the floors OF all tunnels. Pipes not less
than four inches in diameter are to be
run beneath the floors of all passages.
These pipes must connect with a main
tube and open into the various head
ings. While the primary purpose Of
the bill is the humane one of supplying
pure air to imprisoned workingmen, the
tubes will also be used as a means Of
hasty communication, or as means of
transporting water in case of fire. Mine
foremen must inspect the workings Of
the tubes and see that the entire system
is in proper shape. Inspections must be
conducted at intervals of not less than
seven days, neglect to do so on the part
of the foremen being a misdemeanor.
The punishment will be a fine of not less
than one hundred dollars or imprison-
ment of not more than ninety days, or
both. h.-PunXsutawney NelCS.

A CONSERVATORY OF
VERY GREAT VALUE.
A Visitor to Hon. S. B. Elliott's Paradise
of Beautiful Plants and Flowers De-
scribes its Wonders.

There is being maintained in our town
at the private expense of one OF our
worthy citizens an enterprise that
should commend itself to every right
thinking man and woman in this com
munity. We refer to the conservatory
of the Hon. S. B. Elliott, Very few
realize what is to be found in this con-
servatory unless they pay it a visit and
study its contents. On Washing
toms Birthday it was my pleasure
to walk through this paradise OF
beauty in company with its owner
and To converse as to the varieties of
plants and flowers it contains. One of
the things which attracted my atten-
tiOn was small lemon tree with its
bending branches holding three i'm
mense lemons. They were SO large
that my curiosity was aroused to
measure their circumferences. The
largest measured 15f inches equatorial
circumference and 10! inches from stem
to blossom the second measured lat
and l4t inches the third IA and 14t
inches. | very much doubt if larger
lemons can be found in any conservatory
in Pennsylvania. The tree is 3 or 4
years old and is p feet high and 4 feet
across and in addition to the three
huge lemons mentioned it contains ia
buds for more of the same kind. Here
are to be seen banana plants with all
the vigor OF the southern climes,
calla lilies. thirty varieties of ferns,
ten varieties of palms, three varieties
of rubber plant, such as Mexico pro-
duces and from which we get our
rubber goods. One of the most beauti
ful plants is the screw pine, standing
9 feet high and 10 feet across. In this
conservatory is to be seen blooming
azalias, carnations, geraniums, ciner-
rarias and various other kinds of plants
and flowers. This conservatory con-
sists of three glass covered buildings
and are in good healthful state. Not
withstanding the severe winter not one
plant or flower was frozen. Any of our
citizens, lady or gentleman, will always
be a welcome visitor to this conserva-
tory and will be richly paid for the time
in walking through and closely eXamin-
ing its contents. A. j. MEEK.

Damage by Water.

About 30 Friday morning small
blaze was discovered on the roof of Civ
Hotel. The alarm was given and tho
fire companies responded promptly but
were delayed in getting a stream of
water on the fire on account of frozen
water plugs. Fortunately there was no
breeze at the time and the fire burned
slowly so that the firemen succeeded in
getting the fire out before a great
amount Of damage was done. There
was more damage done to building and
furniture by water than there was to
the building by fire. The entire loss to
Proprietor W. W. Wiley on damaged
furniture and NJ. Allgeir, owner of tho
