Clean u. s...ean Up.

At this time of the year the ques-
tion of cleanliness is uppermost.
With the coming of the heat of sum
mer, when doors and windows are
open and people are in the open air
much of the time attention should
be given to putting the premises in
a neat, healthy condition, not only
SO pleasanter:prospect may be plac-
ed before the eye but in order that
health may be spared. The cOndit-
ion of the premises is pretty clear
indication of the character of the
people that live upon them. When
you see yards neat and clean with
flow er beds here and there, you come
to the conclusion that there is some
refinement iu the family. On the
contrary, when the yards reek with
filth and the surroundings of the
of the house are IN an Untidy con.
dition, you are apt to form an un-
favorable opinion of the tenants.
1t should not be necessary for the
health officers to drum this lesson of
cleanliness into the people, For their
own comfort and health they should
engage in the annual cleanin up with
out compulsion. These remarks ap-
ply not only to tenants hut to the
owners of vacant lots around town.
What pretty sight it would be
If all premises were made n eat and
clean, the bare front yard plots sown
with grass and with flowers and the
back yards cleared of old cans and
the illsmelling sewage. Who can
estimate the good effect which T.
pleasant environment would have
upon the growing children, whose
natures unconsciOusly absorb the
things which they come in contact
with day after day! Let there be a
general cleaning up.

Gals for the pennsy,

Cats are to be placed in every sta
tion of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
by order of President McCrea. Each
station will be allowed one cat, and
an appropriation will be made for its
support.
The cat will draw its monthly
wages just the same as the baggage
man or ticket agent. Its duties will
consist of keeping the baggage room
free of erats and mice. Frequently
baggage is destroyed by rats and
goods gnawed in transit.
1t is President McCrea's idea that
one wide-awake cat in each station
will prevent this. He insists that
every cat do its duty. Otherwise ii
is to be discharged and another one
hired in Its place. Some of the sta.
tions already have cats.

Fire Destroys Valley Record Office

The Office of the Valley Record,
published by Joseph Murrelle, at
Sayre was practically destroyed by
fire at an early hour Saturday morn
ing. The flames which are of un-
known origin broke out Just before
3 O'Clock and in l. than a half hour
afterward. - -ntlre plant, includ-
ing type, presses, type setting ma
chimes, paper stock, office fixtures,
and other material necessary in the
printing of a daily newspaper, was
a complete wreck.
The plant itself was probably
worth in the neighborhoOd of ten
thousand dollors, and the loss is
partially covered by insurance.

Opposed to Marriage.

Superintendent of the State Con-
stabulary has issued the following
order fOrbiding the troops to wed:
To maintain the efficiency of the force
and owing to the fact that married
men sleep out of the barracks, and
are not Immediately available at all
times for service, hereafter any
member of the force getting married
will be honorably discharged. BY Or
der, of John c. Groome Superinten-
dent. John III. Clark Chief Clerk
commenting on the order of Superin-
tendent GroOme said as follows: 81
know that this seems like a rather
severe blow to our bachelor soldiers" !"
said the captain Friday evening,
."but l have issued this order for the
good of the State Constabulary. The
constabulaly was organized to be
Immediately available, to get where
there is trouble before the National
Guard may be started.
GAS rule, married men do not
sleep in the barracks, and when
there is.a hurry call it takes time to
get them together. Marriage is all
right, but it will not do for our
troopers. We do not enlist married
men now, and it seems manifestly
unjust that man may enlist as a
single man and then 60 off and in
few days become a benedict and still
remain in the ranks after his mar
riage.
The order issued by me is the
same as one that is in force in the
United States army, and if l were
not convinced that the good of the
service demanded it, l should never
have issued it, as hard as know il
is on the fellows who are already
contemplating marrying. The new
rule will bar them, but does not ap-
ply to those in our ranks who are
now married."

The fruit crop of some of the
southern states has been killed by
the freezing weather of April l and
2. Vegetation had become far adj
vanced by the summerlike weather
of March. Peach,trees in numerous
instances were in full bloom while
apples, pears and all other fruit
trees were in such an advanced
state that the total destruction of
the fruit is believed certain.

Davill Trip and Miss Bessie Grontier
Have Romantic Weddina.

Because of her superstition regard
ing the postponement of weddings
AS an ill-Omen, Miss Bessie Grantier,
graduate nurse, left her sick bed in
the hospital at Williamsport last
Wednesday and was taken to a
church in cab where she was mar
ried. Immediately after the cere-
mony she was taken back to the
hospital and put into her bed again.
She entered the hospital the Sat
urday before. Then the physician
announced that she would be confin-
ed to bed for two weeks at least. AS
her wedding to ID. q. Tripp of Can
ton, had been scheduled for last We'd
ncsday, her physicians implored her
to consent to n postponemcnt, but
she refused. On Wednesday she sur
prised her friends by leaving her bed
at the risk of her life from the ex-
posure and going to the Mulberry
Street Methodist Church where Rev.
Oliver S. Metzler performed the
ceremony.
After returning to the hospital she
was given special attention that her
romantic wedding might not endan-
ger her life.

Galusha A. Grow Dead.

Galusha A. Grow died Sunday at
his modest home in Susquehanna
County, where he had lived for
three quarters of a century.
Mr.. Grow was notable figure in
Congress in the period Immediately
preceding and at the beginning of
the Civil War. He was the Youngest
member when he entered the house
in 1851, and he soon established him
self as man of convictions and
courage. He was elected as Free
Soil Democrat to succeed David Will
mot, from a group of counties which
early took Republicanism, and Mr..
Grow naturally fell in with that
sentiment. He was reelected five
times, the last three as Republican
and once had the unusual cOmpli-
ment of unanimous election.
In the house ne was familiarly
known as the War Congress-called
by Lincoln in special session-met in
July 1861, Mr.. Grow was elected
Speaker. The choice was we'll made
for those tryingand disturbing days.
His public career was ended for
time with that Congress, for re-
apportionment put his county in a
Democratic congressional district;
but just thirty years later, when a
candidate for Congressman at large
was wanted to emphasize the best
sentiment of Republicanism, he was
nominated and elected by such a
majority as had not been given be-
fore in the State. He was elected four
times successively afterward and did
not retire finally until he was nearly
80 years of age.
He had an unaffected and straight
forward character, and throughout
his life he enjoyed the complete con
fidence of the sturdy farmers who
constituted the majority of voters in
his old district; he was the political
oracle and guide for all thst section
of the northern tier. His was a real
ly notable career, and he faithfully
met every emergency.
