RAILROAD NOTES.

Chatham IS exercised over the pres
ence OF Lackawanna surveyors in that
vicinity. A new route was stased out
which will do away with at least three
grade crossings and probably four. 1t
will leaye the present track near the
property Of David Falconer, passing
through at least one of his rose houses,
and then through the Fuller property,
paralleling in the main what is known
as the Red road to the Conoyer tract.
The new station will be located near
the site of the old brickyard The
road will run under Hillside avenue
and Paramount avenue, thus doing
away with the grade crossings at those
points, as well as one at East Park
street. The location of the new sta
tion will be about a quarter Of a mile
southwest from the present site.

A special report on the blind and
deaf just issued by the bureau Of cen
sus shows that there were In the
United States in 1900 64,763 blind
persons. OF these 57.2 per cent were
males. The most important causes Of
blindness were cataract, accidents and
operations, old age and sore eyes. AL
most 65 per cent of the blind became
30 after the age Of twenty -one, thus
proving the contention of the new as
Bociations that the blind need other
help than that which is offered In the
ordinary institutions. OF the blind Of
ten years or older 90 per cent were en-
gagged In gainful occupations as com
pared with so per cent Of the general
population
The total number of deaf in 1900
was 99,287, or ! In 800 of the popula-
tion. OF these 37,426 were totally
deaf. Upon the whole, deafness is
more common in the northern than the
southern part of this country. OF the
deaf 24.369 could not speak at all and
B5,501 could speak well. the latter hav-
ing lost their hearing in adult life In
most cases. OF those of at least ten
years of age 1856 per cent were gain

them out.

ORCHARDS CONFESSION.
Idaho Prisoner Tells a Blood-CurdIing
Story.

Denver.-An Associated Press dis
patch from Boise, Idaho, states that
Harry Orchards confession gives de-
tails of the plot to assassinate Cover
nor Steunenberg from its inception.
1t gives the names of other men al
legged to be implicated. Since the con-
fession was secured the details have
been verified in Denver and elsewhere.
One of the statements in this con-
fession is that Orchard was selected
to assassinate Justice Goddard of the
Supreme Court of Colorado a year ago.
He says he buried bomb at the
judges gate, but when he pulled the
string the contrivance failed to ex-
plode. He took the string away and
gave up the attempt. The bomb has
since been dug up.
In his confession Orchard says he
was alone in the actual execution Of
the Caldwell plot; that he had first
planned to shoot Steunenberg with
buckshot and went to the house on
Christmas eve for that purpose, intend
ing to shoot through the window, but
abandoned the plan and hid number
of cartridges under the sidewalks. The
cartridges, it is claimed, have since
been found by the officers.
Orchard has, it is claimed, told of the
workings of an Inner circle" of the
Western Federation of Miners main
tanned in Denver, gives details of
plots that led to the killing of num-
Der of men in the Telluride district in
Colorado and information about var
ious outrages at Cripple Creek. He i'm
plicates Jack Simpkins, member of
the executive Western Federation Of
Miners, and man named Adams in
the Steunenberg murder. Officers are
searching for both these men in Ore
gon. They are supposed to be in the
vicinity of Haines.
The confession was secured by ap-
pealing to Orchards memory of his
home teachings. 1t was made plain
to Orchard that the state had perfect
case against him and that the best
thing he could do would be to make
preparations for a future world.
Governor Gooding says he thinks
the entire confession can be made pub
lie soon.

LONCWORTH-ROOSEVELT

While the display of jewels was not
so great as 1t might have been had the
wedding been an evening affair, it
nevertheless was notable. Many of
the women present wore jewels which
matched in color their gowns, or, II
they did not match they entered har

Natures Balance.

The question may be asked, What
Is to prevent the foe of these insect
pests from becoming in turn an enemy
1tself?' In nearly every case the ben
eficent insect depends upon the injur-
ious insect for it's own subsistence.
1t will not thrive If it is robbed of its
prey. So, whenever the foe insect be-
comes very numerous in an orchard,
it does not do harm to the orchard, but
only to the particular pest of the Or
chard which it antagonizes. 1t may
never entirely destroy the pest, but it
reduces it below the danger line, and
keeps it there-the inevitable balance
of nature. If the pest were wholly de-
stroyed, its force also would disappear
