San Jose Scale.

The San Jose scale was unknown
in this country twelve years ago.
A man by the name of Lovett, con.
Quoting a nursery in one of the
Southern states, received Japan
ese plum tree from Japan. The
tree was infected with the scale.
which was first noticed in San Jose,
California, where the tree was sent.
Nothing was thought about it at
that time. Since then, in period
of twelve years, the pest has spread
over the whole country, until now
it is attacking trees in every state,
county and township.

IMPORTANT LAW
misunderstood
Relating 10 Burial Of Soldiers, Sailors and
Marines What II Provides.

A law, which is misunderstood is
the act of assembly authorizing and
requiring each county to bury and
to provide headstone for any hon
orably discharged soldier, sailor or
marine, who served in the army or
navy during the late rebellion or
any preceding war, and who shall
thereafter die in that county leaving
insufficient means to defray the
necessary burial expenses. In each
county the act requires that in ev-
cry township and ward suitable
persons be appointed to look after
and bury the deceased soldiers, sail
ors or marines who are entitled to
the benefit of the above act. Be-
fore assuming charge and expense
of burial, section second provides
that the men appointed must first
satisfy themselves by careful inqui-
ny into and examination of all the
circumstances III the case whether
the deceased soldier. sailor or ma.
rine they are called upon to bury
served in the army or navy and
was honorably discharged and did
in their township or ward, leaving
insufficient means TO defray neces-
sary burial expenses. If they are
satisfied that such f'cts exist they
shall take charge of the body and
cause it to be buried and thereupon
they shall Immediately repLrt their
action in the case TO the county
commissioners setting forth the
facts ascertained by them, together
with the nalue, rank, command to
which such deceased soldier, sailor
or marine belonged, the date of dis
charge, ETC., which report shall be
duly attested by three reputable
persons residing in the same town
ship Or ward with the deceased SOL
dier, sailor or marine, knowing the
fact that the Latter died without
sufficient means to defray necessary
burial expenses. The above pro.
visions. when known, ought to
make it clear, not only that veter-
ans of the war must die wholly
without means before they can be
buried at the expense of the coun-
ty, but also that whatever is done
in the premises must be done
promptly, as soon as death occurs,
if the provisions Of the law are to
be lived up to. The county COM
missioners Of some counties are
much perplexed by applications
that come into the Office months
after the death and burial of the
veteran has occurred. Persons who
are unacquainted with the provis-
ion of the act seem to think that by
establishing certain facts at any
time subsequent to death money
will be paid by the county for bury
ing deceased soldiers, sailo"s or
marines. This is a mistake, as
those who apply soon learn. The
death rate is rapidly increasing
among the veterans and it is only
Just that all should know what the
law provides as to their burial and
what procedure mustbe employed.

Sunbury People Want Dam Rebnilt.

The people of Sunbury are un-
animous in their desire to rebuild
the dam at that place and restore
the beautiful aquatic playground
afforded by tTe Susquehanna's S
stretch of water which fronted Sum
bury before the ice gorge Of 1904.
River men and sand dredgers say
the destruction of the dam has in
jured their business and Sunbury
coal operators say the low water
has greatly crippled their business.
Lack of money is the ouly bar to
rebuilding and movements are now
being madeto finance the project.

NEW HOBOKEN TERMINAL.

The first of the Great Railway
Terminals that are to grace New
York was opened to the public by
the Lackawanna Railroad Co. on
February "a.
Besides having the distinguished
honor of being the first great Ter
minal to be opened, it still has
higher one; that of the best arrang.
ed water front Railway Terminal
in the world, having frontage of
73o feet upon the Hudson River.
The Terminal itself is unique in
many respects. 1t is built upon
new engineering and architectural
lines, there being none like it in
existence. 1t was built over traffic,
100, 900 people using the Terminal
daily during its construction with
out the loss of time or a single in =
jury. 1t is built over water, its
concrete and steel foundation rest
ing upon piling; its system of train
sheds is absolutely original, design
ed by the Chief Engineer of the
Company. These are few of the
most interesting features.
Not to go deep into statistics or
ancient history, on the night of
August S.h, 1905, the Poboken
Terminal and Ferry Houses were
burned to the ground. Before the
last flame had flickered out, plan 5
were being drawn for temporary
terminal. In few days the tenn
porary structure was in place.
On March 25th, 1906, the first
actual conCi etc construction was
commenced and on February 3rd
1907 the entire station except three
of the ferry slips was finished and
opened to the public. The quick
construction of the Terminal, going
on over the traffic of 100. 900 people
and 5000 teams daily, is marvel
in itself.
The Lackawanna Terminal is
absolutely fire-proot; even the racks
and desks in the ticket Office are of
metal.
On the first floor is the waiting
room and its dependencies; also the
ferry concourse. The waiting room
is 90 by 100 feet and IS feet high;
it is finished in limestone and plas-
ter, with high windows on all s.des,
and loaded ceiling light in art
glass.
On the second floor, reached by
All easy inclined plane by stairways,
and elevators, will be found the
Restaurant, fully equipped Emer-
gency Hospital, Barber Shop and
Bath rooms, and necessary offices.
The most ornate room in the new
Terminal will be the Restaurant,
finished in old ivory with old. gold
hangings and French gilt fixtures,
all the woodwork being of mahog-
any. The Restaurant, seating over
$50, overlooks the water, and gives
its patrons fine marine view. An
outdoor balcony seating as will be
utilized in the summer. This will
allow patrons while enjoying a
dainty lunch or dinner to see the
busiest harbor in America at its
best.
The tower by day carries flag
that can be seen for many miles up
and down the river. At night it
is illuminated from top to bottom
with electric lights, making it the
most conspicuous feature on either
side of the Hudson. The six ferry
slips are spanned by arches support
&c by ornamental piers. all of which
are pricked out at night by electric
lights, making beautiful picture.
1t is the best lighted and deco
rated of all terminals up to the
present moment.

BY Associated Press.
HAVANA, Sept. 2S.-A party of fourteen
bandits attracted the attention of the
authorities of Santiago province recently
and today detachment of rural guards
was sent to apprehend them. Shots were
exchanged and the bandits were dispersed
The government does not believe that
the appearance of the bandits In San
tiago province was part of the movement

rested here. They are believed to be
outlaws representing several foreign ma
tions who have been employed in the
Santiago mines.
Captain Dougherty, supervisor of the
guards at Santiago has left that city

additional detachment of rural guards and
1t is believed that the bandits will be

FALLING SIGN STARTS
SUIT FOR $500 DAMAGES
Mrs. M. e. Hendry, Guardian Of Will
heImina Miller, Begins Action
Against Varney G.
Green

Millie e. Hendry, as guardian for Will
helmina Miller, filed a suit yesterday
asking for $500 damages from varney &
Green, an advertising firm, for personal
injuries.
In the complaint it is alleged that on
July 16, while walking on the east side
of Broadway. between Fourth and Fifth
streets, the girl was struck by falling
sign owned by the defendants. 1t is al
legged the sign was negligently built and
erected, and the accident was due to the
defendants carelessness.
Several days ago Mrs. Hendry and her
husband were arrested on a charge of
attempting to leave the state with intent
to default judgment on a suit filed by
Attorney j. Marion Brooks. In his COM
plant Brooks alleged he had been re-
tanned by the plaintiffs to recover dam
ages from Varney & Green and was to
have a third of the sum recovered
When he took the matter up with the
advertisers they offered to compromise
by the payment of $780, Mrs. Hendry Is
said to have agreed to this, and while
the final settlement was pending Brooks
claims she accepted that amount and was
preparing to leave Los Angeles in an
auto when arrested. He sued for 5000 for
his services.
Yesterday Mr.. Brooks said he knew
nothing of the new suit and had no con-
nection with it.

The past two days have been the live

fornia conference now being held In the
First Methodist church.
Friday afternoon the spirited contest
for the election of delegates, both cler-
ical and lay, to the general conference
next spring held the interest Of the min
listers and delegates and yesterday morn
ing spirited discussion was called forth
regarding the amendment offered to
lower the number of clerical representa-
tives from four to two.
Arguments for and against were heard.
advocating that 1t was best to lower the
number Of delegates to the general con-
ference In order to make that body more
compact and hasten the business.
The argument against the amendment
was that 1t would increase rather than
decrease any tendency to politics in the
conferences and that each conference was
entitled to an ample representation at the
general conference of the denomination
held every four years.
A large part of the morning session was
given up to- the arguments, but the
amendment was voted down by 100 to &c.
Reports Encouraging
The present conference is conceded to
be the most enthusiastic that has been
held in the history of the church in this
part of the state. Encouraging reports
have been made from every department
showing a large increase of benevolences
and greater activities in the various
churches. Many of the pastors have
come to the conference with splendid
records for the years work.

COLUMBUS, Ind. Sept. 2s.-Vice Presi-

for election as lay delegate from In
diana to the quadrennial conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, to be
held infBaltimore next May.
The vice president was not himself a
candidate but his name was urged by
friends who assumed his election would
follow by acclamation. Instead of this
it was bitterly opposed by the radical
temperance element in the conference,
who took the ground that electing him
would be equivalent to doing what they
regarded as an offense against temper
ance, the alleged offense having been

of welcome to the association. He said
in part:
THE pastors wives are entitled to en-
joy among themselves the same fellow

be at conference because to her is due
in large measure the success of her
husband. Back of all the glorious work

Mrs. George B. Cliff of Corona spoke
words of encouragement regarding the
members of the association assisting their
husbands IN their pastoral work.
Quartet Sings
The women's quartet sang selections
which were followed by remarks by Rev
Eli McClish, pastor of the West Adams
Street Methodist church.
Rev. Mr.. McClish quoted several verses
of the poem by Joaquin Miller, which, as
he said, illustrated the battle but which
did not terminate in a victory. Rev
Mr.. McClish said that he thought there
should be showing of victory and had
composed some verses covering the point
of winning the battle, which he read tc
the amusement of the hearers. This was
followed by the reading of Good by
My Lover Good by,'' which added tc
the amusement in his poetical recital.

Expect Appointments Soon
II is not definitely known when the
appointments will be read, but 1t is ex-
pected that they will be announced either
Monday evening, following Bishop Neely's
address on South America, or on Tues
day morning.
The list of appointments, telling each
pastor his work for the coming year, is
doubtless the most interesting subject
during conference week. 1t is general
topic of discussion both before and dur
Ing conference, no pastor knowing def
nitely where his field of labor will lie
the coming year. Although there are
many conjectures and it is said an un-
usually large number will be transferred
nothing definite will be known until the
list is read by the presiding bishop.
