Publish the Laws.

Representative Reitmeyer, of Ly-
coming county, has introduced in the
House a bill providing for the publi-
cation of the Acts of Assembly from
session to session in sufficient num-
ber of newspapers in each county For
years there las been discussion of the
necessity of such measure. Every
two yoa $ \ re number of import
laws a.e passed and with the ex-
ception of comparatively favored
class these acts are unknown to the
people. AS result there are many
/ violations of law through ignorance of
these enactments, especially such acts
as those regulating the sale of foods,
the hunting of game aud fish, and
similar measures.
There has been much hardship as a
result of legislation of this class and
the proposed law is one that will COM
mend itself to the people of the Com
monwealth. While ignorance of the
/ law is no excuse under our system of
Jurisprudence the fact that new laws
are unknown to the people ought to be
a mitigation of the olieuses frequently
charged against them. About all that
m my persons know of the new Acts of
Assembly is what they see in frag-
mentary way from time to time dur
ing the co lsderaBion of the bills by
the Legislature. Mr.. Reitmeyer has
thH right idea. AS New York has been
publishing the laws of that State in
the newspapers for many years there
ought to BE- no opposition to the bill.

WINS SUIT AGAINST
CATAWISSA RAILROAD
Bonds Held by Bratten Estate
Must be Converted Into
Preferred StOck-Argu.
ed Several Times.

The Supreme Court, in an opinion
handed down by Justice Dean, yes
terday decided a question of interest
to holders of railroad bonds in sus-
tanning the suit of James II. Bratten's
estate against the Catawissa Railroad
Company. d. Stuart Robinson, coun-
sci for the estate, had unsuccessfully
argued four times for retrial in tie
lower court.
The Catawissa Railroad Company
was incorporated under the act of
March 81, 1860, with a capital stock
OF So, $50, 900, of which 50 200, 900
was preferred and 81, $50, 900 common
of the par value of $50 each. Under
the act of incorporation it was au-
thorized TO extend it's road to Will
Transport, and was granted authority
to increase its preferred stock for that
purpose.
The company in 1870 decided to
extend its road to Williamsport, and
to pay therefor bonds were issued for
81, 300, 600, secured by mortgage up
on its property. In the mortgage
aud in the bonds there was contained
covenant that the holder should
have the right to convert them into
preferred stock.
In 1900, when the bonds were about
maturing, William b. Bratten and D.

IS CONVERSATION A LOST ART?

II his eloquent memorial address at the ceremon-
~ les in memory of the late Senator Hoar, dwell
ing upon the wit and wisdom which garnished
the talk of the Massachusetts statesman and made
him so delightful companion, Senator Depew found
occasion to speak of the present day time ''when
conversation is becoming lost art because the shop
has invaded the drawing room and the dinner table,
and cards have captured society,""
Along with this rare art of conversations and
because of kinship with it, have gone also the
good old habit of writing up gosspy diaries for the
delight OF future generations of gossip lovers, and
what is more to be regretted than ALL the practice
OF writing personal letters stretching out page
after page in the close, fine handwriting of former
days, such as is now rarely seen. Who has not had
turn in ransackng and coming over files or bun
dies of old letters which passed between lovers or
friends half century or more ago, and wondered,
while he delighted in their easy flow and free and
full expression of fancy and sentiment how the
and women who did the writing found time for it
all.

Our ancestors transacted a good deal
of business of one kind or another In
and about their churches. To begin
with, the churches of old England in
turbulent times were regarded as
places of safe custody for public and
private property. In the border land
of England and Scotland the idea was
carried out still more completely, and
churches, or at least their towers, be-
came regular fortresses and not in.
frequently were objects of offense and
defense. We may note in rural Eng
land that in the case of ancient church
es the towers are often not merely dis
proportionate in size to the rest of the
church, but are carefully and strongly
built, evidently with an object.
Even in peaceful Surrey and Sussex
the belfries are veritable strong rooms
with barred windows and massive
doors and often contain massive
treasure clrest. Hithe-, at the first
alarm, money and valuables were hur-
ried, for beyond the security of thick
walls and bars and bolts there was an
ngis of sanctity which in a supersti-
tious age protected the building from
the most ruthless of foes. The fortress
like construction of many of the bor-
der land churches is an interesting
study of antiquarians.-Londo Stand

ProdigaIity of Life In Ancient Egypt

The reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandercd away the labor and lives
of the people is perfectly startling. In
this respect, as the monuments yet re-
naming abundantly prove, they stand
alone and without a rival. We may
form some idea of the almost incred
ible waste when we hear that 2,000
men were occupied for three years in
carrying single stone from Elephan.

from the condition of the bills Paper money good when
