SERVANT PROBLEM CENTURIES OLD

10 EV. MINOT j. SAVAGE, New York min
"a lister, has been discussing the servant girl prob
lem and he reaches the conclusion it is a prob
lem that is very old, and not likely to be settled
til the employers change their attitude
''The problem of housekeeping, they tell me-"
he is quoted SAYING sis growing worse and worse
and yet if you were to read the correspondence writ
ten 300 or 400 years ago on this subject you would
think you were listening to a conversation at an
afternoon tea Of yesterday. The old trouble
existed 500 years ago, the trouble springing
out of the same condition. l do not wonder that
girls do not like to work in the kitchen. can un-
derstand perfectly why they should prefer clerk
ship even on starvation wages, where they can be
mistress of their own evenings, go and as they
please, and have what companionship they please.
Let mistress sit down and think with herself
Would she like to 60 into the kitchen of the
family, have possibly one afternoon out, time for
reading, no opportunity for music, chances for
free companions, but to be at the back and call of
tyranny, of whim, of thoughtlessness, of lack of
consideration all the time If the mistress and the
maid could exchange places for awhile long enough
to understand each other, get into sympathy with
each other, perhaps these evils would cure them
seves.''

Mrs. A. j. BilImeyer

At four o'clock, Friday afternoon,
March "a, Mrs. Malinda Billmeyer quiet
ly and peacefully breathed her last and
her spirit took its flight into the realms
of the great unknown"
She had been in delicate health for a
long time and on the Goth inst. was
seized with an attack of pleurcy. DIR.
Hoffa, of Washingtonville, was summon
ed at once, but all that medical skill and
loving husband and devoted children
could do, could not stay the hand of
death.
Mrs. Bilmeyer, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Bowers, was born in Liberty
township, Montour county, on Deem
ber 4, 1886. She was one of a family of
ten children, six brothers and four sisters.
All her sisters and two brothers sur
vive her.
She was the mother of twelve children,
nine of which are yet living.
AT an early age she identified herself
with the Methodist church, and was al
ways consistent member.
The children who survive her are Sal
lie, married to Lewis Buss. living at Nc
Evansville; John, a merchant, residing
and doing business at Hagerstown, Md. ;
Andrew, a carpenter, living in Liberty
township, this county; Frank, of the
Bilmeyer Lumber Co, living in Cum
berland, Md; Alice, married to j. G.
Boggert; Clara, married to James De-
trick, Emma, married to Chas. Gerring-
er; all residing in Liberty township;
George, living at home; Edward, a con
tractor, residing in Maryland.
The funeral was held on the Goth from
her late home, on the banks of the beau
tiful and picturesque Chillisquaque
creek.
Many friends and relatives assembled
to pay their last tributes OF respect, and
her body was laid to rest in the old Bill
meyer graveyard near herhome.

CITY OF TEXAS HAS A REVOLUTION

a interesting situation is that in which the city
~ of Houston Texas, has become involved. The
mismanagement of the city has been SO bad
that prominent citizens went before the legislature
and secured special charter which, if put in force,
would effect complete revolution in the manage
ment of the city. 1t legslates out of Office all the
present officials and places control in board con-
sisting in the mayor and four city aldermen. The
mayor appoints subordnates. 1t would be q decd-
edly autocratc government, but the responsibility
would be placed fairly upon the shoulders of the
mayor. The present alderman and officials are, of
course, incensed at this, and they have gone into
court and have secured temporary restraining Or
der to prevent the mayor from calling a special
election under the charter. The citizens are
so enraged that they will not tolerate any interfer-
ence of this kind and they threaten if they can do
no better, to 60 into court and have receiver ap-
pointed for the city on the ground that it is bank
rupt through mismanagement of officials. This
would get rid of the old officials and pave the way
for new regime.

JULES VERNE MASTER OF FICTION.

n ULES VERNE, who was stricken with fatal
~ paralysis few days ago and died Friday
was regarded as of the greatest masters of
fiction known to France. 1t is said that he continued
writing until recently, when illness obliged him to
suspend all literary work and his duties as O muni-
cipal counselor He was born ut Nantes II years
ago and began his literary career by writing come
dies and filling feuilletons for Paris papers. But
his plays were not popular. A new vein of litera-
ture was opened by Verne when he began to publish
novels which exaggerated the trumphs of science
into what at the time considered impossiblities
But Verne's predictions were realized beyond his
most sanguine hopes. Such books as stAround the
World in Eighty Days." ga Trip to the Moon"
and ''Twenty Leagues Under the Sea" created
much amusement, but Verne lived to see the Journey
around the globe made in less than half the time he
allowed and the submarine boat reality Since
1870 M. Verne wrote nearly 100 volumes, mostly
stories of adventurous travels, all of them showing
his marvellous knowledge of the latest discoveries
in the fields of science. 1t is claimed that Verne's
''Five Weeks in Balloon did much toward the
development of dirigibe air-ships. In speaking of
this work, which written in 1861, M. Verne
said

story about ballooning, but story about Africa.

travel and wanted to give romantic description of

ROwDYIsM AT THE COLLEGES.

"A FAIR sample of the prevailing rowdysm
~ which is being taught or encouraged in the
guise of ''athetics" at the big colleges and
universities is that at Ann Arbor where the history
of the University of Michigan has been conspicuous
by series of events not calculated to induce young
men to study. dispatch in relation to events last
Friday night says:
After two other toustnlasters hal been kidnapped
by sophomores, Walter S. McKillip, of Chicago
took the office of leader of the annual freshman
''prom" and successfully started the event. Be-
cause of the bitter class war the freshmen were
forced to call out the entire Ann Arbor police force
to stop the raids of kidnapers freshmen dancers.
During the raids Walter g. Becker of Chicago, was
hazed, Walter d. Graham, also of Chicago, was
made prisoner in the classroom, and the second
toastmaser within twelve hours was stolen and de-
ported into the country
Croul freshmen appointed Raymond S. Williams,
an Alpha Delta Phi of Lapeer Mich, his successor.
Williams concealed in the dancing academy,
where the ''prom' is held. The sophomores chased
him and the bodyguard out upon the roof and in a
fight there captured the second POSTMASTER
Walter Becker is sophomore, ard being prom
inent class leader, was seized by the freshies in
revenge for the kidnapping. Becker was tied with
ropes and left in an empty barn. He found knife
on the floor and freed himself.
''Octy" Gaham, Yosts 24O-pound freshman
football tackle, escaped the sophomores by jumping
from window.
After the banquet and when dancing was be-
gun the sophomores released Williams and Croul
and escorted them to the assembly hall, together
with ten other freshmen who had been kidnapped
during the evening The freshmen were then left
unmolested.

brother, Mr. Frank +. DeLong, and
Mr.. VIM. b. Chamberln and fam

The return trip, we trust, will lie
as pleasant as the outgoing voyage,
when the ocean was comparatively
calm-in word all that could be ex-
pected of Old Neptune.
1t requires one day and one night
for a steam ship to sail from the land
of sweet onions to the harbor of New
York. Now calculate the vessel speed
ing at the rate of 20 knots an hour.
and we figure the distance mt about
500 miles, aud during all this time
the imagination carries us back to the
jolly, good time the passengers ha
in forming the acquaintance of all
classes of social tourists who d Light
in being tossed about on the bosom of
the briny deep. And then the good
things that are always provided in
abundance for the passengers, whether
at the regular table in the grand dim
ing room, or comfortably seated on
deck, where you may be served with
the choicest delicaces piping hot.
And the obliging stewards are always
on the alert, for when called upon to
cater to those desiring an extra meal,
they are always ready to hold out
their hands for an extra wee sma'
tip.
To those who have never crossed
the Atlantic on an ocean greyhound,
will be surprised to know what IL de-
lightful time they have missed. 1t is
one continual round of pleasure.
When enjoying the good thing of life,
the soJourner may be seat on tie
upper promenade watching the flying
fish, ice bcrgs or perhaps now and
then huge whale us it approaches
the vessel spouting water very much
resembling fountain, or perhaps you
may be interested in keeping on your
feet, while strolling along the deck,
as the huge ship rolls, first ON one
side, then on the other, and thus you
may serenely rest, in the language of
the popular bass solo
Rocked in the cradle of the deep,
lay Inc down in peaceful sleep"
while the spray beats against the bow
and showers everybody above the par
lor who may be promenading in that
vicinity, and when tired of sight-see-
ing it is ones privilege to return to
his or her state room, where inviting
berths are at their command, and
where nothing occurs to disturb sweet
repose.
In word, we hope and trust the
genial party may enjoy the home
ward voyage, with no accident to mar
the pleasure of all on board the good
ship "Bermudian," and that the
precious freight may be delivered safe
on the shores of Free America. RIVE.
