TWO CENT FARES.

The law fixing the rate Of fare on
railroads at two cents a mile went
into effect on Tuesday. Fred B.
Hartman, who is making busi-
ness trip for Greasy & Wells this
week to Scranton, Hazleton, and
other points, was the first one to
buy a ticket on the D. L. & w.
under the new schedule.
This new rate will diminish the
fares on the B. & S. The fare
from Benton was TO cents. now it
is AT cents each way, and the same
is true from other stations.
On the big roads it will not work
this way for long distances. For
instance, the round trip fare to
Wilkes Barre was 81. 5S, now it Is
$I6o. The round trip to Phila-
delphia on the P. & X, was sos,
now it is s., 92 each way, or IS 50,

A CONDITIONAL LEGACY.

Miss Anna Y. Jeanes of Phila-
delphia, who died recently, lett an
estate valued at S. 900. 900, a large
portion of which she bequeathed to
charities.
On condition that Swarthmore
College abandon all participation in
ter-collegiate sports and athletics
that institution is made a condi-
tional legatee of all Miss Jeanes'
coal lands and mineral rights il
this State and fve-eighths owner
ship in the Rebecca Steadman tract,
otherwise known as the Hazel
Brook colliery. In case the manage
ment oil Swarthmore refuses to ac-
cept the 5equest or fails TO carry out
this condition the properties are to
be merged in the assets of the
estate.
This property is valued at 81 ,ooo,-
900.
What the authorities of Swarth-
more will do in the matter is not
yet known, but it puts them in an
awkward position. If they do not
accept the conditions they lose a
million dollars IF they do accept,
the college must withdraw from al
intercollegiate contests in athletic
games, and this meaus that foot
ball, and baseball and basketball
will be abandoned at that institu-
ton, for they cannot be maintained
without the stimulus of contests
with other colleges.

PRISONERS BOARD.

Sheriff Ent has been asking for
an increased allowance for board
ing prisoners in the county Jail.
For some years past the county has
paid twenty-five cents day, and
Sheriff Ent very justly feels that he
should be allowed more now, owing
to the increased cost of nearly ev-
erything eatable. The commis-
sioners have declined to yield to the
Sheriff S request until now. In or
der to settle the matter a meeting
was held on Tuesday in the Com

fore the Court by the Sheriff pre-
senting petition setting forth the
facts, and asking the Court to fix
the price, This will bring up the

The general impression that Iceland
is cold country is false one, says a.
writer in Travel Magazine. In Reyk-
javik, the capital of the island, L one
day perched myself on one Of the lava
walls and looked at scene of summer
warmth and beauty. Familiar cows
and cats and hens were busy in the
sunshine. Children, thinly clad, were
playing about with shouts of merri-
ment. Potatoes were in full blossom,
and cabbage and various vegetables
added to the sense of homelike comfort.
But such days are oases in vast deserts
Of rain, for If Iceland. in summer is
not cold it is not comfortable.

II old Nine. Dagucrre had been as
quick to act as she was to suspect,
Louis Jacques Daguerre might have
died in an insane asylum and the
world might have waited century
longer for a means of preserving fam
lily likenesses on bits of paper or glass.
Up to the early thirties of the last cen
tury M. Daguerre had behaved as any
well balanced decorator and scene
painter should have behaved. and then
he began to experiment with liquids
and attempted to fasten sun shadows
on glass or copper sheets. He talked
OF wonderful day when he could
make portraits of his friends without
either brush or pencil. In great trepl-
dation Nine. Daguerre hurried to O
doctor and, weeping, told these symp-
toms. To the doctors mind they spell
ed nothing less than insanity, and in
1888 they set about preparing NJ. Da-
guerre for visit to the asylum at
Bicetre. But just then the unsuspect-
ing victim Of this plot succeeded in
fastening the shadow on the copper
plate, and the art Of photography was
