WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 49,
Miss Alice Roosevelt is to be heavily
taxed for the presents she has accepted
during her trip throughout the orient.
Full customs will be levied, and the
President has directed that in the ap-
praisement of the goods no special
favor be shown his daughter. Just
what Miss Roosevelt will have to pay
will depend entirely upon the value
of the presents she has received. If
they are worth 100000, as has been
stated, the duties may amount to $50, -
900. On certain classes of embroider-
ed silks and jewels the rates are 60
per cent. of the value of the goods.

lieves the goods with whic, the Presi-

duty. both in the appraisement of the
goods and the collection of the duties.

Diphtheria has made its appearance
on the South Side,two children in the
family of Daniel Brady being down
with the disease. The outbreak has
caused something akin to consterna-
tion, as the infected hous sehold is jus t
about opposite the public school of
Gearhart township.
Acting upon the provision of the
school law that school directors have
power and authority to make rules and
re yulations to prevent the introduction
and spread of contagious and infec-
tious diseases among which are diph-
liberia. diphtheretic Group, &c, the
School Boald of Gearhsrt township
has already taken action and caused
the house to be placarded.
The residents naturally entertain
great dread. which has increased con-
siderably since the second case has
made its appearance. Last night it
on the South Side that the situation
justfies further action ON the part of
the School Board aud that omething
ought TO be done to regulate inter.
curse with the infected place.
The hou> >ehold afflicted has the SYM

covcry of the two children is aoped
for. Tho family would no doubt con-
cur in the adoption of any regulation
that would tend to prevent the spread

Burton Garrison. of Berwick, is the
father Of twenty. eight children, but
only eight of them are living. The
youngest, daughter, was born three
weeks ago.
Mr.. Garrison's record would make
glad the heart of President Roosevelt t

one that has not been equalled in tn is
section. Mr.. Garrison is remarkable

DARING THEFT
OF c HICKENS

A chicken theft of the very boldest
type was perpetrated Sunday night at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Weniger, corner of A and Spring
streets.
The Wenigers have always imagin-
ed their coops to be safe from the dep
relations of chicken thieves. on &C.
count of the arc light on the corner
where their home is situated. This
daring rascal, however, was not deter
red by the illumination. nor did he
even wait until late hour to make
the raid.
Mr. Weniger had retired and Mrs.
Weniger was about to do so at 10
O'Clock when a slight noise attracted
her attention to the rear of the house.
There she saw the man emerging from
the chicken coop. Mrs. WeniRer's de-
mand for an explanation only served
to cause the rogue to make hurried
exit and disappear.
Mrs. Weniger thought she had fright
ened the thief away without his booty
but an examination of the coop yes
terday morning showed that two of
the finest chickens were missing.
Mrs. Weniger is confident that she
recognized the thief, and she promises
to institute proceedings unless the
chickens are returned or she is REIN.

Action Under Trespass Law.

The first action under the new 1906
trespass law. enacted for the especial
purpose of aiding the operators In the
event of a strike was taken Saturday
morning at Mt. Carmel and 1t was in
stituted by coal company.
It appears that for some time past
GOAL has been taken from the oulm
bank of the Lehigh Valley Goal Com
pany near Mt. Carmel. Much timber
has also been confiscated unlawfully.
The company complied with the new
law and posted notices prohibiting
trespassing.
Saturday morning Paul Volka was
found upon the oompany's land and
although apparently doing nothing
was arrested and taken before Justice
Armour, who gave him hearing on
the charge of tresrassing. The new
law allows the punishment of tres
passer for the mere act of getting up
OH another person land if the person
has a trespass notice displayed.
Volka was found guilty and sentenc.
| ed to Fay a fine of $5. He refused to
pay and was sent to the county jail
for five days. This action shows the
great power the coal companies now
have. They can incaroerate all miners
found upon their premises even II no
harm is intended. That the law will
be used in case of strike there can
be no doubt.

Season Now Open,

The legal season for shooting pleas
ants and wild turkeys was ushered in
on Monday. The real opening day was
October 18th, but that occurred Sun
day hence the shooting began on Mon
day. AS squirrels and woodcock, which
come into season OH the 1st of October
under the new law. are exceedingly
scare, hunters have not had much sport
so far and have been looking forward
with more pleasure to the opening Of
the season, as pheasants are plentier
this year in all sections OF the State
than for some years past and in many
places wild turkeys are also rather
abundant. Hunters should remember,
however, that not more than one wild
turkey can be taken on one day by any
one person nor more than four wild
turkeys In any one season. 1t is also
unlawful for any one person to kill in
any one day more than five ruffled
grouse, commonly called pheasan.s. or
more than ten woodcock or more than
five English. Mongolian or Chinese
pheasants, or more than twenty of
either of the before named kinds in
any one week or more than fifty of
any of the aforesaid kinds in any one
season.

Mothers After Pool Rooms.

The Mothers Club, of Jersey Shore,
has commenced a crusade OH the pool
rooms aud cigarettes in that town. con-
tending that they interfere with the
good work Of the local school boys.
:. A delegation of mothers called on
Burgess Broker to see what could be
done In the matter. and the Burgess
has in accordance sent notices to the
various pool room proprietors, calling
their attention to the state law on the
subject, and has instructed Chief OF
Police Green to see that the Act OF
Assembly is carried out to the letter.
II it is not done prosecutions will re.
suit.
In his notice to the pool room keep.
ers Burgess Bricker did not mention
tina cigarette matter for the reason
that there are plenty of other loca
stores handling cigarettes, and thai
the pool room keepers are no more Ii
able to break the law in this respect
than are the others.

Small Ballot.

The secretary of the Oommonwealt
is making mp the form of the official
ballot for the election next month. BY
reason of the small number of offices
to be filled this year and the limited
number of nominees for these offices,
the ballot will be much smaller than
last year. Aside from state treasurer,
justice of the supreme court and judge
of the superior court, the only state
offices to he filed are common pleas
aud associate judges Common pleas
judges will be elected in twelve coun-
ties and associate judges in eleven
counties. The contest for common
pleas judges in several districts are
already very exciting and will bring
out heavy vote for an "off year.
Associate judges will be elected in
Clinton, Elk, Forest. Fulton, Mifflin,
Monroe, Montour. Sullivan. Union,
Warren and Wyoming counties. AL
legheny. Philadelphia, Tiogs and West
moreland are the only counties in
which there is no fight Tor common
pleas judges where judges are to be
elected. Both parties have nominated
the regular Republican candidates in
these four counties, thus insuring their
election without the trouble and ex.
pense of campaign.

The intention was to have made ar.

Rabbi Zeisler yesterday stated that

Bloomsbury Expects to Win.

The Bloomsbury Daily has tho fol-
lowing to say about thu basket ball
team from ten miles up the road, which
will play the local five at the Armory
Friday evening:
1.-THE local basket ball enthusi asts
are now formulating plans for the
coming season. 1t ia the purpose OF
the local promoters to get together
as strong combination of payers as
possible, and only the very best OF
teams will be played.
1.-THE best of the local ability has
been secured to which will lie added
several star players to be secured else
where.
THE first game of the season will
be ON Friday evening when the local
men go to Danville to play the team
of that town.an they are going there
to win."
That sounds pretty good and it is
altogether likely that the visitors
will put up fine game, but as to their
winning-well. you can't always tell.
There are five boys from right here
at home. who have been practicine
hard for some time. and they put up a
mighty good article of basket ball.
Anyway they will make that com.
bination of players "hump."

TOWN IMPERILED
BY FLAMES

Washingtonville had fire Friday
and nothing but timely discovery
and the fact that there was an abund-
ance of help ON hand prevented the
greater part OF the town from being
laid In ashes.
The fire occurred between half past
10 aud l O'Clock ON tue premises OF
Miss Sara Geiger,a a maiden lady, who
lives near the Lutheran ohuroh. The
house is frame one and when discov
cred the flames were eating their way
out between the plank on the side of
the building.
There is no fire department in Wash
ingtonville and in the absence of alarm
by bell the word that there was fire
had to be passed about from mouth to
mouth. Several persons early OIL the
ground. had good lungs. however, and
they shouted "Fire" with so much
energy and emphasis that it was only
the matter OF few minutes until the
whole town knew that house was
burning.
Iu a few minutes the greater part Of
the town, men, women and children
we're on the scene of the fire and it
was only a minute or SO later until
they had resolved themselves into an
orderly bucket brigade and were hard
at work. The crowd was soon aug
mented by people from the farms and
others who were driving through town
but had tied their horses and rushed
to the fire hoping to be of assistance.
Every hand that volunteered was
needed. The burning dwelling was
situated in q nest of dried out wooden
buildings of the older sort, at the end
of the borough in the direction from
which the wind was blowing in
strong and steady current. The prin-
cipal street of the town was in i'm
minent danger and whether it could
he saved or not depended wholly upon
whether or not the fire could be ex
tinguished before it got any further
than Miss GeiRer's dwelling.
Everybody worked with the energy
born Of desperation. The fire, which
originated in the chimney, was raging
in the interior of the wall bet ween the
plank and the plaster. So that al
though literally hogsheads of water
we're carried to the spot and dashed
upon the building it made little or no
impression on the fire. The only re-
course lay in partially demolishing
the house in order to get at the seat
of the fire. In short time, there
fore. the plaster and lathing were
ripped off the walls on both the upper
and the lower story on the inside, the
roof was torn Off the porches and the
chimney demolished ten feet from the
roof downward. In process of time
the house looked as though it had
passed through an earthquake. but the
fire was extinguished. Miss Gipger
estimates her loss at $500. here was
an insurance.

BOLD BURGLARY
FRUSTRATED

An unsuccessful attempt was made
on Tuesday night to break into the
warehouse of Heddens' Candy Com
pany OH Mill street.
When W. NJ. Heddens, who has
charge of the building. opened up yes
terday morning he found three panes
of glass removed from one of the win
dows in the rear and the sash partly
hacked through. The glass lay on the
ground broken deep notch as if done
with pen knife was cut into the sash
from above and below at one point ill.,
dicating that the purpose was to re.
move the sash in order to effect al on
trance, but that the burglars were
frightened away before they succeed
ed The window sash was securely
fastened down so that the only way to
gain entrance was by the plan adopt
ed
a gentleman employed in Heddens'
restaurant adjoining heard myster-
ious noise in the night, which is now
ascribed to the attem oted burglary.
The object was no uoubt to carry off
some of the candy. very large stock
of which including big shipment Of
Moxie. was on hand in the building.
Had the burglars succeeded in get.
ting in through the window they would
have found themselves in a sort of an
mex, in which nothing but empty boxes
were stored. Only half the battle
would have been fought. as the door
communicating with the warehouse
proper was securely bolted and would
have to have been broken down.
..It is thought that the robbers were
diligently working when they heard
night watchman Young approaching
on his beat. Had they succeeded in
gaining Gu entrance at the right mo-
ment they might have succeeded in
carrying off enough choice confection.
cry to stock up small store.
