The recently attempted assassaina-
ton of the King and Queen of Spain
has revived the question of the pre-
vention of such crimes and the pun
ishment of anarchists, counterfeiters
and dangerous criminals of all class
es. Major Sylvester, Chief Of Po-
lice of Washington, ID. G. is the ad-
vocate of plan which he believes
will tend to check the operations of
professional criminals to a large ex-
tent. He urges the establishment
of an International Criminal Identi-
fication bureau by the United States.
He contends that the movements Of
criminals should he shadOWed. no
matter on what part of the globe.
Every bit of Information regarding
them should be kept where it can
be procured quickly. The United
States and all the other foreign gov
ernments should cooperate and pro-
vide an arrangement which would
constitute one great web that the
malefactor could not elude. The
expense of the maintenance of this
bureau would not exceed $4,000 a
year, but the value of complete
knowledge Of the personality, habits
and haunts of the habitual criminal
could hardly be estimated.
The question of the retirement of
superannuated government clerks on
pension seems to be agitating the
country at large to greater extent
than the clerks themselves. AS
matter of fact the large majority OF
clerks are not in favor of the move
ment. The prevailing opinion seems
to be summed up in the words of the
head Of one of the departments
"The government should be conduct
ed on the same principles that obtain
in ordinary business transactions.
1t should pay good salaries to good
men and should discharge those who
are incompetent. l see no reason
why provident man should be tax
ed to support one who has been inn
provident. There is not single
clerk in the:government employ who
is there merely out of devotion 10
the government. He is there be-
cause he wants the salary. The
which has paid me my
monthly salary on the tick of the
clock every pay day, dosn't owe me
any more for my having done my
work faithfully, than it does any one
else for conducting an honest busi-
ness, and being a good, law-abiding
citizen. Then why should my fell
low clerks, or the people of the coun-
Try be taxed to provide for me if /
neglect to save anything in life
time, in good job?

What kind of commercial ferti-
lizer does my soil require? is a
question of interest to nearly every
farmer. Pennsylvania spends for
fertilizers somewhat over f6,000,0 900
annually, a sum nearly equal to the
State appropriation for public school.
The best answer to the question is
gained by direct field experiments
on the soil involved. To aid in a
systematic study of the various soils
Of Pennsylvania, the State Expert
ment Station, through its chemist,
Prof. Frear, has organized series OF
cooperative soil tests with the three
principal classes of commercial fer
tilizers, to determine the preseDt
need of the soil, for one or other OF
these aids to fertility. These coop
erative tests are now being made in
accordance with the Stations in
structions, in thirty-eight counties of
the State.

An aged woman who had never
ridden on railroad before, becom-
ing frantic with terror as the train
rolled along making it necessary to
stop and let her off before she had
gone half u mile from the station, was
the strange and pathetic incident oc-
cnring on the early morning b. & s.
train from Benton, few days ago.
The woman was Mrs. Charles
Skinner, of Jackson, where she has
resided all the 20 years of her life,
her home being four miles from the
railroad. All her years she made
very few trips from home and then
only ON short journeys with horse
and carriage. She had never been
on railroad trolley car until the
day in question when she set out
with her son John to make a trip to
Danville. The b. & S. train was
boarded at the Benton station. The
train had no more than started when
the aged woman became terrified by
what was 10 her such strange ex-
'perience, and rs speed was gained
and the rumbling increased while
the landscape flew by the windows,
she became actually frantic and be-
gan to scream to let her off. The
train was stopped ut Maple Grove,
about a half mile from the Benton
station, where her son assisted his
mother to get off and they returned
to their home, the woman being on
the verge of collapse.
Witnesses to the incident say they
firmly believe the aged woman would
have actually died of fright had not
the train been stopped just when it
was. Bloomsbury Republican.

MAIL BY SkYROCkET.
Uniuue Method of Delivering 1t
from Ship to shore.

UNIQUE Method of Delivering 1t
from Ship to shore.
In all my journeys, writes traveller,
never before or since have | seen mail
flung to its destination in such odd
fashion as was done by the captain OF
the steamship Hauroto, and l reckon
that nowhere else in the world is mail
delivered by sky rocket. New Nut ISL
md lies half way between Samoa and
Fiji. and has a whartiess shore. NO
body but an expert swimmer could ever
attempt to land. The whole coast,
both on the windward and the lee
sides. is as dangerous as one will meet
in a long sail. The skipper fixed
rocket on the ships bridge, and the
whole thing must have measured over
eight feet in length. He waited until
he came around a point where the ISL
and reminded me of Molokoai, the
Land of the Dreadful Death, and when
| close in the volcanic isle presented q
very happy and attractive picture. The
whole population had turned out to
witness the arrival of the mail from the
sky. 1t was an hour long to be remem-
| bered and full of unusual excitement
and anticipation for the quiet, simple,
intelligent people.
A blue light was set off by the cap
tain to ignite the rocket. All eyes fol
lowed its rapid course, and the people
waited with breathless anxiety, lest 1t
| burst, as on a former occasion, and
blow the mail into smithereens over
| the sea. This time the rocket held well
on it's upward flight, and it sped higher
and higher, as seen from the ship, until
| it seemed that if it did turn downward
it would surely land sheer over the isl
and and he lost in the restless breakers
on the windward side. Finally the
rocket reached the apex of its ascent
started in horizontal course and
| finally headed downward. With the
descent came mad rush and scramble
on shore, for the Governor had offered
prize for the persons bringing the
skyrocket mail.

Both Thought So.

In the recent brief biography Of
Eduard Remenyi, the great Hungarian
violinist is pictured as genius who
saw things from the humorous point
of view. One afternoon at Fort Col
Inns, Colorado, where he was to play
that night, Remenyi was sitting on the
piazza of his hotel, when he was APP

menyi.

tickets for me and my old woman?"
Maybe l could"
"I thought SOL Try hard!"

A little later Remenyi's manager
gave the man two passes, which he re-
ceived with his stock ejaculation, Il
thought so ?" He accompanied them to
the opera house in the evening, and
Remenyi gave him his violin case to
carry.
who plays this fiddler" he asked.
1.-THE end-man," replied Remenyi.
~ thought SOL"
After the concert the porter was in
the lobby, waiting for the violinist and
the manager with very long face.
Remenyi again gave him the violin
case, and as they walked along he vas
heard to mutter. At last he said aloud
You bet you fooled met"
81 thought SOL" said Remenyi, with
dancing eyes.
