A REBUKE TOUNWILLING JURORS.

A number of Dauphin County
men, who after having been drawn
for jury service, sought to avoid
their duty, were rebuked by Presi-
dent Judge Weiss in court at Harris
burg Monday morning. After hear
ing the numerous requests to be
excused the Judge said; there is
not semblance Of a reason why
any man should be excused The
men are all suitable and yet unwill-
ing to serve. The reasons given
don't rise to serious consideration. "
The Judge then said that every
court men asked for release who
don't want to serve and find lawyers
who are willing to make motions to
excuse them when there are no
reasons at all. He ordered all
jurors to hold themselves subject to
call
1t is just the same here. Rarely
IS there a court that men drawn do
not seek to shirk their duty, and
they nearly always succeed. Some
time ago juror was released from
duty on the pretext that he was a
valuable employee, and could not be
spared by his employer, but instead
OF going home where his services
were alleged to be needed he re
NAMED in town the greater portion

so nearly OH its merits as in the
case of the San DOMINICAN treaty
There are no party lines on this
convention A few rock ribbed
Republicans, staunch supporters of
the Administration, would be will
ling to vote for ratification without
due consideration, but many Re-
publican and all Democratic Senat-
ors will insist on full and free dis
cussion OF the policy which the San
DOMINICAN pact would inaugurate
before they will cast an affirmative
vote therefor. While the discus
sion of the San DOMINICAN treaty
will, of course, be in secret session,
it is reasonable to assume that the
Washington correspondents will
secure fairly accurate reports of the
debate and it promises to furnish
some instructive and interesting
reading.

The Swayne impeachment case
is drawing to close and will prob
ably be disposed of this week.
The testimony and closing argu-
ments, in fact, will all be disposed
Of on Friday, although the final
vote of the Senate may be defer
red until later. The evidence sub
mitted seems clearly to have estab-
lished the unhtness Of the defendant
for a place on the federal bench,
but it has hardly proven dishonesty
or other charge which might be
termed either high crime" or a
"misdemeanor" aud consequently
the chances are all for acquittal of
the accused jurist. One of the
lessons of this case has been the
necessity of a process whereby a
judge may be removed without at
taching the stigma which must
inevitably follow impeachment.

All hope of railway rate legisla-
tion for this session of Congress has
been abandoned, due largely to the
philanderirg tactics Of the Honor
able" Steven B. Elkins, the chair
man of the Senate committee of
Inter. state Commerce. Mr.. Elkins
is prominent railway man who
contributed upwards of $50, 900 to
the campaign fund which resulted
in electing him to the United States
Senate and his conception of his
duty is not in the line of any cur
tailment of the profits now paid
him by his various railway invest
ments. There does seem, how
ever, to be good reason to expect
some adequate legislation of this
character at the special session of
Congress which President Roose-
welt purposes to call next October,
whether Mr.. Elkins committee re-
commends il or not. Senators Gull
lom and Dolliver (Repuolicans)
have acted with the Democrats on
Senator Elkins' Committee, but
even this combination was impotent
before the powerful influence of the
West Virginia statesman"

A PICTURE OF LIFE.

This has been a remarkable win
ter for coasting. There was no lack
for opportunity. The youth of the
land have enjoyed unusual privil
eges. But how many wrecks might
be counted in the enjoyment of their
sports, and how many fatalities?
How many skated TO their death
through treacherous ice-one of the
most eXhilarating sports known to
youthful enjoyment. How many
hearts have been made sad through
the accidents resulting from indul-
gence in these innocent and health
reviving sportsP But, who would
deprive the world of youth and
children from enjoying these sports
to their fullest capacity? The only
echo of protest might be heard from
the distant hills; rs it safe ?" But,
where is safety2 Where does not
danger lurk Who is sure that his
next step is not into a death trap?
We have only drawn a picture Of
the great arena of life. All the
world are coasting in every avenue
of life's activities. In every pursuit
Of business or pleasure. every indi
vidual is coasting or riding on some
vehicle of disease, down the steep
decline of life; and at every stage
Of the short route, many wreck and
topple over into eternity. Some are
pushed speedily along by the cruel
blows of assassins, others by bombs
and dynamite, and others by the
cannons' deafening roar, while other
multitudes are fastened on by the
rattle of musketry. Thus the
stream of humanity is coasting on
to eternity through all the ages to
come, as they have through all the
ages past. Yet who would think
to stop business because people in
the best of health are liable to drop
out of the living ranks at any day,
or any hour. The business of the
world will go on, and the vacancy
of the missing filled by others, and
those dropping out are never missed
by the moving mass of the world.
All nature and eternity are not de-
pendent upon the ianumerable vi
cissitudes of humanity, in solving
the great problem of mans future
destiny. JOHN c. WENNER.

James Russ of Harrisburg was en-

Triumphs OF Modern Surgery.

That awesome bundle of potential
mysteries we call the body is made
the subject, in the March McClure's,
of an absorbing article on modern
surgery by Samuel Hopkins Adams.
This writer owns the happy faculty
of seeing a thing "by and large,
of grasping the essential facts and
telling them vividly, with dramatic
force. He reduces technicalities to
their lowest terms, and makes sur
gical process as interesting ard as
compelling as tale of war. The
triumphs of this most modern of
sciences are elucidated in the Ian
guage of everyday. Here is the
story of the gastric ulcer, an all
ment as serious when cured as in the
virulent stage, for as he explains,
in healing it causes a contraction of
the stomach's wall, narrowing that
organs exit to the point of useless
ness. In serious cases the method
of treatment has been to cut out the
ulcer or scar - a complicated and
dangerous resource because of The

ter highly susceptible to shock.
Several years ago German sur
geon, named Wolfer, contrived an
operation which is nothing more nor
less than skillful plumbing device.
He cut hole in the stomach in
front of the ulcer, clipped off the
smoller intestine, an d spliced thr
the two together, leaving the ulcer
to take care of itself. This process
short -circuited the food route. The
ulcer, relieved of irritation from the
passing over of food, soon healed;
the resultant contraction didn't
matter because the old exit was now
out of commission, and the system
of plumbing properly took its place

The Care of Gloves.

Too much cannot be said about the
necessity for proper care in removing
gloves from the hands, for upon this
more than anything else depends the
length of time pair of gloves will
wear. After unfastening the glove it
should be turned back over the hand
as far as the fingers and then should
be pushed off without pulling on the
fingers of the glove at all. as. when
this is done the threads of the sewing
are broken. and in a short time begin
to rip.
After the glove is off the hand the
fingers should be gently Strengthened
out, the gloves smoothed into shape
and put into a box to keep them from
the air as much as possible, as it is the
air and the moisture in it that rot
the fine thread with which a glove is
sewed.
