we have had, all over the country,
makes it absolutely necessary to
close out stocks, even though it be
at a 1essened profit. We have large

merchandise will go into this sale.

MICROBES, 19; X-RAYS, IS.

The Bankers Baseball team, otherwise
the Microbes, defeated the X.rays, com
posed of travelling statesmen, on the vii
lis street diamond Saturday afternoon,
the score being 10 to Is. The game was
given for the benefit of the Cambridge
Maryland Hospital, and fair sized sum
was realized.
The contest was much more exciting,
and the playing on both sides really bet
ter, than the score would indicate. On
the side of the victors, the Matthews bro
theirs, Guy LeCompte, and Medf'rd, nj t
to mention Harper, of Hurlock, proved
themselves experts, making very few err
ors. Among the X-rays Messrs. Ben Car
niue, who caught the first five innings
and pitched the remainder OF the game,
Josiah L. Kerr, and William D. Travers.
were bulwarks of strength proof against
every effort made by their opponents.
The features of the game were several
catches in center-field by Medford, home
run by Harper, and the batting and field
ing of Travers. Hon. George R. Percy,
who played shortstop, had trouble in
making connection with the ball, either
in the field or at bat, until the ninth inn
ing, when by a slick play he caught a
man out at second, and brought in run
in the last half by timely single.
Owing to the numerous changes in the
positions played by the contestants, it
would be impossible to give a complete
lineup. The players were:
Microbes, Messrs. Thurman Phillips,
Guy LeCompte, Robert and John Mat
thews, Ray Slacum. W. H. Medford, Tom
Geoghegau, Ray Harper and Charles Bar
nett.

New Phase of Pure Food Law.
Merchant Deducted Fine From Bill Of Goods

An interesting phase of the pure
food law is to be aired in the Col
umbia county court, the first of its
kind in this vicinity.
John Richie, a grocer of Ber.
wick, was recently arrested and
fined at the instance of Pure Food
Agent SINNERS, who showed where
Richie had sold impure olive oil to
various persons. The fine and costs
amounted to $64.73.
1t appears that the oil had been
purchased by Ritchie from New
York concern, who represented the
same as being pure. Richie there
upon ordered big bill Of goods
from the same concern. and when
their bill was received, he remitted
the amount less $64 70, and ex-
planned to them how their misrep-
resentation had cccasioned him the
fine and costs. The company would
not stand for this, however, and has
just instituted proceedings to collect
the amount, and at hearing before
Squire Beishllne at Berwick, the
case was continued for court.

TO PROTECT GAME BIRDS.
Bill Proposes 10 Stop Shooting Quail,
Pheasants and Turkeys tor Five Years.

Five years absolute protection to
quail, pheasants and wild turkeys
is provided for in bill introduced
in the house last week by Repre-
sentative Digit. Republican, Of
Butler. The killing of these biras
during that period is to be entirely
prohibited under a penalty Of $25
for each offense, and part of the fine
is to be turned over to the school
district in which the offense was
committed.
Another bill. having as one of its
objects the protection of game, was
introduced by Representative Beid-
leman, Republican, OF Danphin
1t embodies the ideas set forth by
Secretary Kalbfus, Of the game
commission, and forbids absolutely
the carrying, ownership, or possess
ion Of firearms by any urnaturaliz-
ed alien resident OF the State. at
the same time prohibiting the sale
OF such goods to persons answering
this description.
1t is thus made illegal for unnat-
uralized aliens to hunt in this state,
and any violation of the act is pun
ishable by fine Of $50 or prison
term of fifty days. this penalty ap.
plying to dealers who sell the arms
or ammunition as we'll as to the ille-
gal owners thereof. When arrests
are made by the commissions Of
ficers, resisting arrest is punishable
by $Ioo fine.
Confscation of foreigners guns,
powder and shot is provided for.
During the last year two game
wardens were killed and nine were
shot at by aliens who were hunting
in defiance of the law, and the
dimunution of small game in many
sections is blamed on the ruthless
cunning of foreigners.
In addition, the State game au-
thorities are behind a measure TO
be introduced, providing for tax
of 81 annually on resident gunners.
This would make the detection OF
aliens easy.

An End to Gretna Green.
Lovers From This Section Can No Longer
Flee 10 New York.

A bill which Senator Cobb, of
New York State, has introduced in
the senate proposes to put an end
to New York State as the Gretua
Green of Pennsylvania elopers, and
If it passes there will no longer be
within reach of lovers in this p,rt
of the State place where they can
be expeditiously and quietly mai
ried.
Several hundred pairs have been
going from this section to Bingham
ton each year to wed, and almost
daily the newspapers of one of the
towns neat here announce the news
OF secret wedding at Binghamton.
If Senator Cobb's bill passes all
this will end. There will end, also
a considerable source of income to
Binghamton, the hotel bills, the
jewelers. bills for wedding rings,
the cab bills and the thin.s which
may be bought in memory Of the
day.
rhe bill that Senator Cobb pro-
poses is that each bride shall have
a marriage license from the town
in which she resides.

Tips Versus Wages.
Growth Of Ono Means the Decrease Of the
Other.

The inevitable result OF the tip.
ping practice, declares a writer in
E0e,yb0dy's Magasiae, must be the
lowering of the general wage scale.
Wages are right. A tip is char
ity. Tips destroy not only self re-
spect but wages the point can
scarcely be over.emphasized In
one Of the smartest hotels on Fifth
Avenue. where a tip is always ex-
pected, the walters are paid $25
month. On the other hand in one
of the known beaneries on
Park Row, where tips are un.
thought Of, the walters receive 500
month. 1t may be put down as
an axiom that salaries decrease di-
rectly as the size of the tip.
The Pullman porters have had
cause to realize this. In the early
days of sleeping-cars it was no uu.
common thing for porter to make
Sroo on a trip from New York to
Chicago and back. And the COM
pany, realizing this. reduced the
wages until porter received but
Sr.23 for trip from New York to
Chicago. But custom is liable to
change in the matter of tips. The
public grew tired Of paying so
heavily for service. and began
gradually to reduce the size of its
tips. One porter told me that from
sixty cents for the run from Chica-
go to New York in 1890, the aver.
age tip had dropped to fifteen cents.
Yet the wages remain low, SO low
that at political convention held
in Saratoga few years ago, sixty
Pullman porters assembled in ex,
Chief of Police Devery's private
car, Elzevir, and formed themselv-
es into an association to fight the
tipping system and to demand fair
working wages instead. There
ought TO be moral for other wage
earners in this.

Curbing the Weapon TOters.

In nearly every county in this
state the criminal trial list is swoll-
en- to undue proportions by assaults
and homicides committed by per-
sons who habitually carry concealed
weapons. In the majority of cases
the culprits are foreigners. 1t is a
notorious fact, demonstrable by
reference to the records of police
departments, that nearly all foreign
ers who are arrested for any offence
are found to have upon their per-
sons one or more deadly weapons.
The practice Of carrying these
about has been denounced and in
weighed against for years, without
appreciable effect, The newspa-
pers have done all in their power
to st;p the practice that has made
murder common, for the list Of
homiciles committed in the United
States annually is shockingly large.
The police departments have per-
formed their duty in the premises,
but without achieving the desired
result. In the last analysis the
courts mnst be depended upon to
establish a necessary reform by
visiting severe penalties upon those
who are convicted of carrying dead
ly weapons Ee.

Too Many Laws.

The Chambersburg Repository
affirms that "the laws in Pennsyl-
vania are becoming so numerous
that people are led to believe that
the best thing that could be done
would be to repeal nearly all of
them and commence over again.
placing on the statute books those
only that are absolutely essential.
This might be rather a drastic
measure, but once done the people
would never regret it." 1t certainly
would be commendable thing it
the legislature could muster up
courage enough to go over the
statute books and wipe out all laws
that are dead letters. That much
ought to be done at least.

Best Things to Read.

AS usual, Li1bneoHs Magazine
for February opens with first
quality complete novel Nance" "
by Robert Ad9er Bowen. This is
fascinating, rapid-actipg tale of
modern society in the South. The
men and women who figure in its
pages are br ght and agreeable and
well-bred, and not the SO called
smart" people of questionable
reputation-though of course there
is the Inevitable commingling of
saint and sinner one expects to find
in well-balanccd story. The lead
ing character is young and hand
some widow, who has come into
possession her late husbands S
millions, and how she uses them
and the power they bring her is
told by the author in a manner
which is both ingenious and real
istic.
Another noteworthy feature is
"Annanias of Oshkosh" glor-
iously hilarious story by George
Randolph Chester. George Allan
England contributes powerful
Russian story entitled "The Out
casts" Anne Warner is invaria-
bly, amusing and original, and her
talent for the unexpected is amply
evidenced in "Her Marital Recap
itulation." The love of social
parish for her child is the theme of
Caroline Lockhart's breezy story Of
the West called THE Woman Who
Gave No Quarter. "The Vacu.
ously Vivacious Gibbs by Marion
Hill is another one of the humorous
neighborhood-type stories which
are attracting attention in this
magazine. "The Quarrel. child.
story by Minna Thomas Antrim, is
natural and sweet. Will Lexington
Comfort, whose speciality is writing
rafting good stories of unconven-
tional people, is responsible for
"Senor Jim," a humorous and vi
vacious love episode. A clean.cut

is full of action.
Up-to-date facts of startling inter-
est, relating to our foreign diplo-
mats. are given in paper by Rene
Bache under the title, Shutting

"When the World Laughs" by
Marvin Dana, discusses humor in
its varying phases, and offers many
convincing samples.
The verse of the month is plenti
full and pleasing. and many funny
pages in the walnut and Wine"
department make fitting end to
this literary feast.

Want Age Limit Raised.
Reading Railway Expected to Follow Exam.
ole Of the p. r. r.

Reading railroaders have been
greatly interested in the announce
ment that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company has decided to raise
the age limit for receiving employ
ees from IS to 40 years, and they
expect the Reading to make SINH
lar announcement soon.
They say that by raising the age
limit the railroads will be able to
obtain a more experienced class of
men, and that it will improve the
service. 1t is also pointed out that
a man at 40 years is more likely to
stick to his job than a younger
man. During the last five years
the Reading Company has employ
ed several thousand young men in
Reading for the train service, and
out OF that number IS per cent. be-
came dissatisfied and have gone
elsewhere.
