Captain Forester Has Retired.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has formally announced the retirement
of Captain G. W. Forester, superin-
tendent of the Union Line, stationed
at Chicago.
Captain Forrester's long connection
with the company entities him to re-
tirement under the rules of the Penn
sylvania company relating to en-
ployees who have served long and
faithfully. Frank L. Borton has been
appointed to fill the vacancy. The
position that Captain Forester has
Just vacated is most responsible one,
inasmuch as the superintendent of the
Union Line is in charge of the Penn
sylvania' 5 freight business west of the
Alleghenies.
Especial interest attaches itself to
Captain Forester by reason of the
fact that he is native of this section,
and calls Danville his home town, hav.
ing served his apprenticeship in the
railroad station here. In his long term
of service with the Pennsylvania COM
pany he was constantly promoted, be-
ing located at Louisville for mum,
Der of years, then at Chicago.
1t is the intention of Captain For
roster to return to Danville, his old
home, and enjoy his first prolonged
period of rest and freedom from busi-
ness cares that has come to him since
he has been in the employ OF the Penn
sylvania.
Captain Forester is a thoroughly
self made man, and is regarded as one
of the most capable executives of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad company

Berwick to Expand.

Persons in Berwick who are favor
able to an annexation project, which
will take in the outlying towns of
East and West Berwick, are talking of
introducing at the coming session of
the Legislature bill that will enable
the borough of Berwick to annex the
town of East Berwick, which is a part
of Salem township, Luzerne county.
The plan is said to be favored by the
residents of East Berwick, rather than
to form a separate borough of the

A POPULAR CHORD

The Hazleton Daily Standard says
Governor Pennypacker struck a pop
ular chord in his message in urging
the Importance of continuing and en-
larging the good roads programme.
An excellent start has been made, and
there is widespread demand for still
greater appropriation. Especially
now, when everybody who is obliged
to use the ordinary mud roads, finds
them almost impossible, is the need of
solid road beds most keenly felt.

Referring to the agitation in favor
of increasing the pay of members of
the legislature, making it 50, 900 in
stead of 81, 500, the Pottsville Chron-

are, no doubt, worth the increased
sum, while there are others who
well, are not worth it " The truth is
that the present salary is very meagre

WHERE WOMEN RULE
CONSERVATIVE AND EXCLUSIVE
WELSH VILLAGE.
Town of Langwm Remarkable for Its
Self-Effacing Male Population
Girls Kept Within Bounds
Until Recently.

London-The county of Pembroke
in Wales is perhaps able to find as
much food for the antiquary as any
two others in Great Britain. 1t is a
land of ruined palaces and castles,
ancient churches and still more an
cient history. It's towns Of any size
are few and far between and for this
reason its hooks and corners are but
little visited by the quickly passing
tourist, while the townspeople them
selves seem neither to know much
nor care about the hundred and one
interests in the hamlets and villages
about them.
A marked case in point is the little
village of Langwm.
Little Langwm is now practically
the only self-contained community IN
the county able to point to a direct
descent from their lusty ancestors
across the North sea.
So conservative and exclusive are
this little villages traditions that It
was not till quite recently that its
daughters were allowed to go forth
into what must have been to them
a very foreign domestic service Or
marry beyond its bounds, while Their
tongue to this day is far less intel
Hgible to their neighbOrs than it must
have been in late Norman days when
the Flemish language only differed in
the dialect from that in fairly gen
eral use in England.
But it is in their domestic affair
that the dwellers in Langwm differ 8
widely from their neighbOrs. Here
woman rules the roost in a fashion
that would commend itself to many Of
her English sisters. A recent writer
had it that none but the gentler sex
sat in the village council and that the
misdemeanors of husbands were
swiftly dealt with by a selected bevy
of Langwm beauty in painful but
thorough fashion.
This imputation was much resented
at the time and the libeller would no
doubt have been as carefully attend
ed to" had he put in an appearance
in the village.
There is no question, however, that
Langwm womanhood has an equal
word in the conduct Of this temperate
and well-goVerned little colony, while
its men folk are of the self-effacing
order, calking and mending in the
creek and rarely found upon the roads
outside the village.
One has only to meet a group OF its
sturdy wOmenfOlk hawking fish upon
the rough roads of HaverfOrdwest,
Tenby and Pembroke clad in short
red and blue homespun skirts, thick
worsted stockings and mighty hob
nailed boots. with pea jacket and soft
felt hat as a picturesque finish, TO
grasp the fact that mere man would
have but a poor show in wordy or
physical argument with one of them.
Woman rules here as much upon
the water as upon land. Langwm's
little feet of boats is almost inVari-
ably manned-one should almost say
womanned-by two women and man,
with one of the former at the tiller.
The intricate windings and currents
Of the upper Haven, or a dirty day
beyond it, are taken with equal skill
and philosophy by these sturdy ANA
IONS.

FATHER WAS A MATCHMAKER
Admires Pantry Girl and Introduces
Son, Who Marries Her.

Lexington, Ky.-A romance with
unusual features has eliminated in
the widding of Miss Cynthia Simpson,
a pretty 19-year-oId pantry girl at the
st. George hotel at Winchester, to
Roscoe Catchings, a rich young man
Of Washington, d. c.
The girl caught the eye of Roscoe
Catchings, Sr., who is proprietor of
Catchings' hotel at London, KY. and
who makes his home there a part of
each year, being interested in timber
lands in Laural county.
He talked to the girl and told her OF
his son, who, he said, was about her
age. He told her he was taken with
her beauty and gentle ways and asked
her if he might introduce her to his
son. She consented and the father
wrote to the boy in Washington that
he would like him to come to Ken
lucky for the holidays.
The young man came. Without tell
ing him of his intentions the father
took him to Winchester and stopped
at the st. George hotel There he
made it convenient to have the boy
meet Cynthia, the pantry girl He
soon had the boy in love with the girl
and then told him if he would marry
her he would settle $4,000 on them
and let them live at his hotel at Lon
don. The boy readily consented.

SELLS cow TO BUY CORK LEG
New Yorker Obtains Needed Limb
Through Novel Means.

Glens Falls, n. Y.-If there is more
than one way to skin a cat, there is
certainly more than one in which to
acquire a cork leg. The usual way is
to earn money and buy it. The way
adopted by julius Thorne, who lives
on the outskirts of the town. is to let
a COW raise herself and then rattle
ler off for a leg.
Thorne was hit by railroad train
about a year ago, and when the doc
he bone set in. The injured man was
aiken home where, while he lay on his
back waiting for the bone to heal, he
east about for some means whereby
he could procure a cork leg. This
was absolutely necessary that he
might work when well.
Being supplied with little in the
way of the worlds goods, Thorne was
forced to use his ingenuity. From a
neighbor he bought for a couple of
dollars a sickly calf less than a month
old. This he raised on skinned milk
provided by another neighbor who
made his own butter, and in time the
calf got strong enough to be turned
out to pasture
Grazing ground cost little and while
the calf was growing and fattening
Thorne made baskets that he might
have enough cash to winter the ami
nal. By fall he had earned enough to
more than do this and a week ago
he started a rattle. All his friends
took tickets and when the drawing
takes place ThOrne will celebrate by
wearing his new cork leg.
