II 10 much easier for a woman to confide
In the average man than In the average
woman. She knows that the man will re-
spect her condolences and keep them to
himself He is strong has more experience
of the world and can help the woman who
needs advice. There is every reason why
women should not trust their delicate
constitutions in the hands of unskilled
persons 1t requires a thorough medical
education to appreciate and understand
the womanly organism. When woman
has ills and pains that she cannot bear
when life seems dark for every woman,
she should confde her troubles to
physician Of standing in the community,
or one who has national reputation. Ger
tainly il would not be the part of wisdom
to confide in an ignorant person without
medical education simply because she was
. woman. There is every reason why she
should write to some great specialist, one
who has made me diseases OF women

Grange fire insurance has proven
very profitable and is becoming
quite popular. Two new companies
were organized in the state last
year. One in Butler county, and
one in Chester and Delaware'count-
les. There are now eleven CON-
panies in the state that insure only
the property of members of the
order. Their risks aggregate not
far from $50, 900, 10000. Some OF
these companies have been doing
business tor quarter of century
or more. The cost to the individual
has been less than one half OF what
cash companies charge for the same
service.

tcrnoon last before Justice J. Francis Smith
After hearing the testimony, Justice Smith
dismissed the case on the ground that the
bottlers had not complied with the require
ments of the law, since the description on
the certificates filed with the clerk of the
court did not correspond fully with tho
trade marks on the bottles.
In arguing the case, counsel for the accus.
ed criticised the statute under which the ar

pose was to give the Bolters' PROTECTIVE

More Wrecks.

On Saturday morning a passenger train
hacked on a siding at Union Bridge for the
purpose of letting coal train pass. The
engineer backed too far and pushed another
car beyond the limit Of the switch and when
the coal train came along the engine struck
the car. Both engines, the coal train and the
car were damaged considerable and all engi'
neer had leg broken.
On Sunday while train loaded with coal
was coming down the mountain an axcl on
rear car broke near the little iron bridge
The train was not stopped until across the
wooden trcstle some distance beyond the
place of breakage. Luckily the car did mol
leave the rail and no further damage was
done. This occurring just as the Baltimore
excursion was on its way to Penmar, the
passengers were transferred to another train
aud taken to their destination. The wreck
crew was called out and placed new truck
under the car and traffic was resumed.

Of War and the Panama Canal Com
mission and its recommendations are
precisely what those who knew General
Bristow might have expected. After
making a careful Investigation of all
the circumstances surrounding the con-
duct of the Panama Railway, its con-
tract with the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, etc., Mr.. Bristow recon-
mends that the railway be continued ae
a common carrier and that the monop-
civ for years enjoyed by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company be abolished.
Mr.. Bristow recalls the congressional
investigation Of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company, made in 1898, at which
time it was found that the Transcontl'
mental Rate Pool paid the Panama
Railroad 5000 a month for the priv
lege of fixing rates between the west
and east coasts of the United States,
via Panama. In other words the trans
continental railroads paid this bonus
of 1000 a year in order that they
might be permitted to rob the consum-
er and shipper between the east and
the west on the transportation OF pass
engers and freight.

Dunnite's Great Power.

That IL inch shell loaded with on
" a small charge of dunnite. the
worlds most effective explosive. will
crumple in the side of the heaviest ar
NOR clad vessel, though the shell fall
short of its mark by 20 feet. has just
been demonstrated at the beginning OF
a series of tests at the Government
proving grounds at Sandy Hook. Ac-
companied with a secrecy that has
made the discussion of the result al
most prohibitive, the first test was sole.
" for the purpose Of determining the
safe distance that huge target, built
to represent section of an armored
side Of modern battleship, could be
moored from the shore and the observ.
ers assured of freedom from harm from
fragments of the exploding shells.
For some time experts of the Ord
nance Department of the Army have
known of the destructive effect of this
explosive substance, which, named at
ter its inventor. Major Beverly W.
Dunn, United States Army, is closely
guarded government secret. Foreign
nations have sought in vain to learn its
composition. Meanwhile, the manu-
facture of armor.plercing shells filled
with the explosive has gone on until
now the arsenals of the United States
are filled with them and almost all the
ships of the navy and seacoast fortifi-
cations haye battle supply on hand
for any emergency.
What the Government experts did
not know, however, was the probable
effect if a shell should fall short of its
mark. The shot fired within the last
few days has gone far beyond the ex-
pectations of the experimenters, Now
no more tests will be made until MAJ
or Dunn returns from visit to Fort
Riley, Kan, and then before a board
OF officers designated by the Board OF
Ordnance and Notifications tests will
be officially begun.
To those who were fortunate enough
to witness the recent trial, the affair
was intensely spectacular. A floating
mass of woodwork, in dimensions about
the size of a battleship at its water
line, was moored off shore. Then, del
icately, the 1000 pound projectile,
with a scant charge of 20 pounds Of
dunnite, was submerged 4 feet in the
water and approximately SO feet from
the floating structure. All spectators
scattered to place Of safety, an cleo
trio button was pressed, those on shore
felt the ground tremble, and column
of water shot Up into the air ESQ feet.
When the target was again brought to
shore the effect of the explosion was
manifostly Of such nature that the
stated deductions were readily drawn.
