Martyr to Experiments.
The death of DR.. Seneca d. Powell,
a member Of the faculty Of the Post
graduate Medical school of New York
city, is believed to have been directly
due to his experiments in the cause Of
medical science. In his efforts to dem
onstrate that alcohol was an antidote
to carbolic acid the doctor frequently
swallowed what would have been a
fatal dose Of the poison and then took
alcohol. Many of these experiments
were made in the presence of classes
at the school where he was an in
structor.
Candy and Alcohol Similar.
DR.. A. G. Abbott, health commission
er of Pennsylvania, has advanced the
theory that "the appetite for alcohol
and the appetite for candy are funda-
mentally the same, the choice of one
or the other indulgence being deter
mined by the temperament of the in
dividual." In support Of this the fact
is cited that there has been a falling
Off In the amount of alcohol consumed
per capita during the past few years
and a material increase in the con-
sumption of sugar in it's various forms.
1t is further stated that chemically
sugar and alcohol are similar. and
their physiological action is in part
the same, and both to some extent
supply the demand for concentrated
and quick acting fuel for the body.
Much of the prejudice which formerly
existed against the use Of candy has
disappeared, and it is now used, espe-
cially in the form of chocolates, by
exhausted business men and even by
soldiers on the eve of battle.

Former Preacher Depcsed.

Rev. George Easterday. who un-
III recently was pastor OF the Luth-
eran church at Millville, Columbia
county, and who appears to have
been a wolfin sleeps clothing, has
been deposed from the ministry and
his name stricken from the roll of
the Synod by the action Of the East
Pennsylvania Synod of the Luther
an church, no one rising to defend
him. He was accused several
months ago of conduct unbecoming
minister and in connection with
this accusation his name was asso-
ciated with that of a young woman
in his congregation. The affair
became generally public and the
minister left his charge. He de-
clined to appear at Synod in his
own defense and he is now engaged
as a conductor on trolley car in
New York City, where he is in a
filter place than in a pulpit.

Strange Moorish Pastime.

There are few pastimes known to
the people Of Morocco that are not
connected with religion" writes a
traveller. Children play football Of
II kind and leapfrog and practice
wrestling and fencing. They also
pursue rabbits with curved sticks
and throw these with extraordinary
skill. Some few experts claim to be
able to kill partridges with the same
simple weapon. The great game. Of
the adult Moor Is the label barood,
or powder-play, This exercise Is Ia
ken on horseback, and to see a body
of Moorish horsemen come down at
the charge with guns high above
their heads to given spot, where
they fire their weapons and then pull
their horses up on their launches, Is
a sight that will never be forgotten
even by those who have seen cavalry
maneuvers in Europe. Moors are
very proud of their horsemanship.

Our Nine Days Wonder
From the Philadelphia Record.

Nine days have elapsed since Can
didate John o. Sheath calling "The
Record" to account for the "eXtrova-
CANT writings, and in many cases alb
solutely false statements, of men
employed for their ability in that
line" denied that he had voted or
any of the Infamous" water snake
bills of the legislative session of
1903.
Nine days have elapsed since this
newspaper called the attention of
Candidate Sheatz to page 2i35 OF
the Legislative Record, whereon II
is officially certified that he did vote
for the most Infamous OF al the
water snake bills.
AS yet Candidate Sheatz has not
condescended to explain why he set
up a defense that was SO easily de-
molished by reference to his official
record. He promised in his letter
of denial to reply to the rest OF the
misstatements" at his first oppor-
tunity. Has he thought better of it?
Have the gangsters who are manag-
ing his campaign called him off?

Penrose's Sufficient Reason.

That is why Penrose nominated
Sheatz this year. The voters
wouldn't stand for a machine man
with "the courage of his convictions"
On the other hand Penrose wouldn't
stand for an anti-machine man who
would not be amenable to orders in
the event of his election. Sheath was
the compromise invented by Penrose.
He is machine man in mask. He
serves the machine, and, as in the
case of the Susquehanna canal bill
vote, has the stupidity or lnyeraoity
to deny the fact even though he
must have known that the records
would reveal his hypocrlcy.

The Veterans and the Grafters'
From the Butler Herald.

John o. Sheath, the Republican
machine candidate for State treas
urer, offers as an excuse for the
vetoing of the soldiers pension bill
the statement that 1t would have
cost the State over $4.000,00O year
to pay the pensions to the veterans.
Had It not been for the election Of
William H. Berry it Is safe to say
the bunch of capitol grafters would
have robbed the State of s4,000,000
more In addition to that already
stolen and the machine campaigners
would now be pointing with pride to
the magnificent capitol which WE
built and furnished. 1t costs too
much to give the old veterans $40 q
month, but an expenditure of mil
lions of dollars for fake" trimmings
is a legitimate expense.
