The Observer.

When the Observer was writing his
article on the Subway tavern last week,
he did not know that the Independent
already had an article in typeupon the
same subject, giving the adverse testi-
mony of Potter county editor re-
garding the practical character and
working of the Subway tavern. Now
comes the editorial testimony of The
Outlook upon the same subject. The
Outlook speaks of the tavern as "an
enterprise which has been amusingly
but persistently misrepresented." ga
recent visit to it shows that there are
two stories, thus providing for sepa
ration of the crowd that the tavern
has its own entrance from the Subway
as we'll as two entrances from the
street; that the decorations, though
simple, are remarkably artistic; that
there is pleasant absence of loafers
or 'boozers'; that plenty of opportun-
ity is provided for people to sit down
and stay awhile; that the quick-lunch
counter idea is ruled out; instead, people
take their places in civilized way
at clean tables; two hundred working
men are reported as lunching at noon
at the Subway daily. The first floor
is divided into two distinct parts, the
water wagon and the bar, both rooms
being literally supplied with tables.
Though close to the bar, the water
wagon is doing thriving business in
soft drinks, its summer receipts reach
ing $50 a day-and that means, at five
cents glass, twelve hundred patrons.
The bar is by no means temperance
bar, but, as in any other, beer, wine
and liquor may be obtained there, un.
like any other, the high class quality is
absolutely guaranteed. The amount
which man may drink at this bar is
entirely at the discretion of the bar
tender who quickly loses his place ifa
guest should show any sign of intoxi-
cation by reason of liquor obtained on
the premises; the test the bar, keeper
applies is his customers condition and
record as to drinking; some customers
are thus ruled out at once from being
served at all. The aim of the mana
gers of the Subway is solely to pre-
vent excess. They do this in a com.
mon sense way by taking away the
artificial indictments from drinking.
They make it merely an incident of
the good fellowship which ought to pre-
vail in every tavern" The Outlook
states that three saloons of the old
kind within a squares distance of the
subway" have been closed and aban-
doned since the opening of that estab-
lishment. ''This throws significant
light upon the genuine temperance
work already accomplished We have
no record-aU all events during the
last quarter of "a century-of the clos
ing of saloons by the old-fashioned de
nunciatory methods"

able versatility.
Being but % years of age, there is
every reason to believe that he will

George p. Hall in "A RAGGED Hero"
Is the popular favorite, George F.
Hall, who will enact the title role in
ga Ragged Hero" Maurice j, Field
ing's realistic drama of New England
home life, a play which has proved to
be one of the principal dramatic sue
cesses of the past three seasons AS
its title indicates, the hero of the play
is tramp, but one totally different
from the type familiar to theatre goers.
Although vision of picturesque seedi
ness, unkempt and sometimes the
worse for liquor, he still possesses
traces of his former gentility and rises
though through the love of child
and the friendship of a woman, from
poverty to competence. Incidental to
the Phoenix-like redemption of the
''knight of tha road" the threads of a
pretty love story are woven through
the play. The murder of the old
farmer by his son, the accusation by
the murderer of his sommanbulistic
brother, ana the latter's consequent
Imprisonment an death sentence, from
which he is saved in the neck of time
by his faithful sweetheart: the rescue
of the little girl from the upper window
ofa burning farm house by the heroic
tramp, who, in the absence of ladder
''pumps up" swing to the hight of
the window, the child leaping into his
arms as the building collspses, and the
timely retarn of the aeronant, who
from his balloon overhead had been
the sole witness of the murder, are
among the original features of the pro-
duction. The most thrilling situation
ever yet devised by the combined art
of the playwright and the stage mech
anic occurs in the third act. At opera
house, Monday night, Jan. %.

Editor Press
l have received the History of the
14Sth Pa, Vols, which is a very in
teresting story. 1t contains over one
thousand pages and costs but 81 so,
and can be had by sending the price
to d. F. Fortney Bellefonte, Pa, or
Col. James A. Beaver, of same place.
Quite number of Cameron county
boys served in this regiment, among
the number was the writer and his
brother, Albert Lord, John Jordan and
others of which the story speaks of.
Lieut. David G. Freeman done the en-
listing of the men and became the
Second Lieut. of "F' Company.
Quoting from the story of Co., "F," it
says: 'Among the enlisted men by
Freemen were some of those best
known in the Regiment. The English
boys, as they were called, Sylvester 4.
and John NJ, both now living il
Cameron county, became sergeants
and did much every way to promote
the efficiency of the Company and did
credit to the Regiment. The rest cap

Beaver was our Colonel and one of tho
best and bravest men of the army.
An exceptional attraction is an
nounced for Monday evening, Jan. %,
at opera house, in George F. Hall, who
will play the title role in ga Ragged
Hero" Maurice j. Fielding's popular
comeda drama. This play was receiv-
ed with great enthusiasm wherever
presented for the past three seasons,
and it is said to be more attractive and
entertaining this seson than ever. It
unfolds stirring tale of love and ad-
venture among the rugged hills of
New England. It's characters are true
to life, its complications interesting,
its heart interesting, absorbing, it's
comedy uproarious, and its mechani-
cal effects startling and realistic. A
fully capable company of players and
an appropriate and picturesque scenic
investiture are promised by the man
agement.

recognized every employe an individual
to be appointed, advanced, transferred and
In all respects treated upon merit. Mr..
Cortelyou continued:
In April last, upon the recommendation
OF the Postmaster General the present
policy of the department regarding fourth
class offices was announced, namely, that
incumbents will be retained during salts
factory service. This is being adhered to
strictly and / am confident that continued
adherence to Il will result in substantial i'm
provement
And now, finally. let me say Just an
other word as to your organizations: The
department expects your cooperation. Your
constitution and bylaws should at every
point square with the regulations OF the
department. Your officials must be en-
ployes of the department. Your discussions
should be characterized by good sense and
conservatism and you must keep ever be-
fore you, whether as individual employees
as members of an organization, the fact
that over the organization is the authority
of the department, an integral part of the
government to which you owe your su-
preme allegiance.
THE poStmasters of the country should
not be appointed by any party primarily as
rewards for political activity, rather than
primarily on the basis of fitness for the
work and regard for the wishes OF the
communities they serve"

WATER FOR DEPARTMENTS.
Experiments Made for Superintendent
Baird

Superintendent Baird of the State, War
report in regard to efforts recently made
to purify the drinking water used in those
departments. Dr. James Carroll of the
army, assistant curator of the Army Medi-
cal Museum. made a chemical analysis of
the filtered and distilled water served to
those departments. In the filtered water
he found an abundance of bacteria and In
the distilled water a smaller quantity
The filtered water Is the raw Potomac
water after 1t has passed through a filter
similar to the Pasteur. The distilled water
is obtained by a by-product. The water is
condensed from steam in the coils Of the
wash boilers and subsequently passes
through an animal charcoal filter. No at
tempt Is made to aerate 1t artificially. The
purpose of the animal charcoal is to take
out the oxidized matter brought over by the
steam, which imparts an empyreumatic
taste to the water.
In the experiments the animal charcoal
was removed and calcined thoroughly in a.
retort, after which 1t was replaced and an
other specimen of water submitted for test
DR.. Carroll said there was no improve
ment, and gave 1t as his opinion that bac-
terra were propagated in the animal char
coal. He advised dispensing with the ami
NAL charcoal. new lot of freshly retorted
animal charcoal was then tested with the
same result, thus confirming the correctness
OF the conclusions of DIR. Carroll where
upon the animal charcoal filter was aban-
doned entirely. Since that time there has
been an empyreumatic odor and taste In
the water when freshly distilled, but they
disappear in a few days. Superintendent
Baird says that If he had sufficient storage
to keep three days supply, using only the
oldest water. 1t would be tasteless 1t Is
stated that the bacteria found by Dr. Car
rol was not of a kind to produce disease,
so that the employees in the departments
were never In any real danger from the
water.

nuate payments from the government to
the employees themselves.
Experience has demonstrated that some
arrangement for pensioning superannuated
civil service employees has worked to ad-
vantage wherever tried. whether the cost
has been borne in whole or in part by the
government. Among the leading nations
of the world the United States stands as
the one nation that has not yet made pro-
vision for the retirement of it's civil ser
wants with compensation. Some govern
ments give their aged and incapacitated
employees a pension out of the public treas
ury; others bear part of the expense the
employees contributing certain percentage
Of their monthly wage; while still others,
although few in number, have adopted the
plan which you are advocating.
my friends, the personal incentive to pre-
serve the high standard Of the civil service
is greater than we sometimes stop to real
ize. That service should be kept as clean
and efficient our country Is great There
should no more come the stain of dishonor
upon our beloved country through the civil
service than through the military or naval
service. 1t Is a proud thing to be con-
nected with any branch of the govern
ment Of the greatest nation upon earth

her development: and this nation Is great

CHRYsANTHEMUM GROWING
Those at the Industrial Home
School.

An institution which devotes large space
and up-to-odate facilities to the develop
ment of the high types of the chrysanthe-
mum Is the Industrial Home School in
Georgetown. where many boys and girls of
the District are being taught useful pur-
suits. who might otherwise find their paths
through life very rough ones. Although
there are not SO many varieties found there
as in the Agricultural exhibit, yet the long
vistas of vari-colored blooms In the large
greenhouses of the school are not often
surpassed in beauty.
The work of cultivating and manipulating
these plants was accomplished solely by
tho boys of the institution assigned to that
department, most of them being under SIX
teen years Of age. The varieties produced
were selected because of their popularity
among flower lovers. and their sale has
met with great success. They are said to
equal the best products of the commercial
florists. The gardens of the school are un-
der the supervision of Mr.. Irving Miller,
formerly connected with the government
propagating gardens, who has given
great impetus to the interest which the
boys take in the garden work.
