i lightning can not be prevented, but
that all danger therefrom may be averted,
by the proper use of lightning rods, is q
well attestcd truth of science
Before the discovery of the lightning

of churches, towers, monuments. public
buildings and ships in this country and In
Europe. that were frequently struck and
damaged by lightning, but since they have
been protected by lightning rods, have
entirely escaped injury.
In the present enlightened age the
value OF the lightning rod as protection
against lightning is we'll understood.
The efficiency of lightning rods to pro-
tect the structures to which thew have
been attached has been demonstrated by
their use for nearly one hundred and
fifty years The most eminent scientific
men all give positive testimony in favor
of the use of lightning rods.
We handle nothing but the best rod,

zinc, a combination that never rusts and

Praises High Schools.

State Superintendent of Education M.
Bates Stephens on Wednesday submitted
his annual report to the State Board of
Education at that body's meeting in An
napolis, and at which Governor Warfeld
presided.
DR.. Stephens referred to the improve
ment noted in the general tone of the
public high schools throughout the State,
and said that with the safeguards now
thrown about them the State would take
no risk in extending whatever aid is
necessary to them. They are practically
finishing Schools" said he, las more than
IS per cent. of high-school pupils never
enjoy higher school advantages. In view
of these facts, there ought to be passed a
law repeating all provisions for appro-
priations for schools which are doing
work along academic lines similar to that
done by the accredited high schools"
He expressed himself as favoring State
aid for leading colleges, but opposed such
assistance where instruction is lower in

The pure food law passed at the last
session, was the most important reform
legislation enacted by Congress in fifty
years. Already its good effects are felt,
hough it is hardly yet in full operation.
Adulterators finding it is dangerous to
sell their fraudulent compounds have
ceased to make them on the wholesale
scale heretofore practiced. Grocers and
others. who have been handling these
vile agents of death and disease, are not
flying the manufacturers that they must
send pure articles or none as they are in
danger of arrest if they sell adulterated
articles 1t will thus soon be possible to
eat meal at hotel or restaurant with
out fear of poisoning ones self with vile
decoctions. Farmers everywhere should
bring pressure on their State legislative
members to pass laws corresr onding to
the national law and thus head of the
possibility of having adulterated stuff
manufactured locally. Every state in the
Union should have such law and none
are more interested in their passage than
farmers.

The municipal authorities of Nord- hausen have forbidden the wearing of dress trains inside the city limits. Last year, ito prevent danger to health and annoyance by raising of dust" the police board forbade the ladies to allow their dress trains to drag on certain promenades and principal streets. By recent action of the health commission, this order has been extended to cover the en- tire city, and disobedience shall be punished more severely than former ly. The present penalty for viola tions of this ordinance is by fine not exceeding s7.14, or imprisonment for a corresponding number of days.

An interesting report on mines in Panama has been received at the de- partment of commerce and labor at Washington from Consul Kellogg at Colon. in which he states that no paying mines are now operated in Panama. During the Spanish occu- patton of Panama years ago, gold mining was carried on to some extent. Since the evacuation of the Spaniards mining companies have been formed, shares sold and work begun, but so far there is little to show for the money and the time spent in these operations. MT Kellogg says that gold quartz in pockets is found in numerous places in Panama, but ow- ing to volcanic disturbances the geo. logical formations show that unvary- ing stratas of ore rarely exist and that mineral veins, through volcanic eruption processes, have been broken and fragments deposited in various levels of the earth. He says these deposits are so small and scattered that it does not pay to hunt for them or work them when discovered. Only one gold mine producing gold quartz of any importance is. or, the Pacific side of the republic and has been op- erated for several years with much success.

Grover Cleveland Poole Gets Life
 Sentence For O'Hara Murder.

Grover Cleveland Poole Gets Life
 Sentence For O'Hara Murder.
 MINEOLA, N. r., June 20.-Groyer Cleveland Poole was sentenced to life imprisonment in Sing Sing prison by Judge Burr for the murder of James OHara in Port Washington.
 Asked if he had anything to say just before sentence was pronounced, Poole replied
 Well, no, except to say that I am innocent of the crime. But I will take my medicine like man."
 Mrs. Emma Duryea, cousin of the prisoner, fainted when she heard the sentence propounced and had to he car ried from the courtroom. Poole's ia ther, mother and two sisters were pres ent.
 Motions for new trial were refused.
 Poole was unnerved when he was led away to his cell. He sent for County Detective Hulse and to him related an other tale of the murder Here is what Poole said:
 On the night of the murder O'Hara went home drunk, and Poole put him to bed upstairs. then came downstairs and lay down on the lounge.
 Not long after Gertie O'Hara and Brown, who boarded at the house, went upstairs together Then shot was fired. and O'Hara was found dead.
 The body was carried to the woods and all the clothing and bedclothina burned to cover up the murder.
