Bill Affects Judges Pay.
Ten Dollars Day for Sitting in Other Districts

When the judges salary bill was
passed in the session of 1903 there
was a provision that judges should
receive no compensation, except
travelling expenses. for holding
court in other districts to which
they might be called. Previous to
that they got $40 day for services
in other districts, and one Judge
was known to draw from the State
treasury nearly S., ,oco a year for
sitting in outside districts. By a
bill introduced by Senator Langftt,
OF Allegheny, the practice of pay
ing itinerant judges is to be reviv-
ed. 1t authorizes the chief justice
of the Supreme Court, at the re
quest OF any court or bar associa-
tion, to designate Judge to sit in
court of a district other than his
own. The judge SO assigned shall
be entitled to receive in addition to
his salary his actual expenses and
$40 per day, which shall be paid
out the State treasury.

GREASY FAV0RS A
SCHOOL COMMISSION
Democratic Floor Leader Believes State s
Educational System Needs Revision
Throughout and That the Standard
Should Be Raised.
The Philadelphia Press says:

He IHlIduelpnla LTeJS says:
The public school system of
Pennsylvania is receiving consider
able attention from members OF the
Legislature. The fact that the
\ .ystone State stands nineteenth
i, educational standard is con
G, med by almost every legislator.
! l.' declare it to be an outrage
al have pride enough to urge
,...t it should stand first.
Already several measures have
been introduced to improve the
school system. and there are many
others to follow. However, it is
believed that too many laws practi-
cally makes them all useless. To
get at the very bottom of the mat
ter, Farmer" Greasy, Of Columbia
County, the Democratic floor leader
of the House, who has given school
matters considerable study, believes
that the Legislature should provide
a commission to go into the school
system of the State and learn what
is needed to raise the standard.
The commission he would have
composed of the most prominent
educators of the State, and they
should be given power to examine
the systems which have placed
other States in the van of Pennsyl-
vania. They would be required to
report to the next Legislature with
recommendations for laws to wipe
out all existing school measures
and reorganize the entire system.
Representative John w. Carson,
of Beaver Falls. is also an advocate
of better school system. He has a
measure providing for a uniform
system of examination for appli-
cants for teachers positions, which
he will introduce later. The bill
directs the Superintendent Of Pub.
lie Instruction to prepare a uniform
system of examination which shall
be operative in every county of the
State.
Another bill along this line is be-
ing prepared by Representative M e.
H. Shannon, of Luzerne County.
His measure will provide that the
Courts shall have the power to ap-
point a board Of commissioners to
examine teachers.
1t is said that in many counties
the school directors control the &C.
tions of the county superintendents
in granting certificates, and rela-
tives of directors are given prefer
ence and the examinations prepar
ed to suit their ability. 1t is also
charged that many school directors
in the State have grown rich selling
teachers certificates. This and the
Carson bill would be aimed to break
up this practice.

AS l am just emerging from a
long and serious siege of Bright's
disease, which rendered me uu.

time for nearly six weeks, and now,
while in state Uf convalescence, |
feel in mood to search the archives
of memory for the simplicity of
family life in my youth, as COM
pared with family life at the present
day. This was,before the irresistible
tide of progression and invention
swept so forcibly over the whole
country and rendered lite so stren-
uous that the whole business world
is on the verge Of nervous prostra-
ton.
Then the habitations of the peo-
pie were of the simplest and plain
est kind, and ventilation was so
soontaneous that the people never
lacked fer fresh air in their homes
Most every home was blest with a
large family Of children and to feed
and clothe them taxed every energy
Of the parents, as nearly all cloth.
ing was home spun and home made.
The children were shod in the
winter with heavy cowhide shoes,
while in the summer it was the
barefoot boy" and barefoot girl.
Most every family fattened from
seven to eight porkers, weighing
from two to three hundred each,
and when butchering time came,
they were killed and salted down
for the years provision OF meat, and
the delicious sausage they made by
the washtub full, some of which was
sailed down, some hung up to dry,
and some smoked.
All when the good house wife
had her frying pan full Of meat over
the chimney fire, and the griddle
hanging from the crane, baking the
delicious buckwheat cakes, and the
coffee pot steaming with boiling
coffee, all this in preparation, while
the hungry children waited for the
stack of buckwheat cakes and hog
sop to be carried on the table with
the steaming coffee, to satisfy their
appetite which was intensified by
the smell of the palatable viands,
while roasting and frying.
This was not the experience of
one family only, but it was the rule
of the day and the custom of the
people.
Now we will take a peep at the
country CROSSROADS school. There
did rot only come the little urchins
OF ten or twelve summers, but all
the young men and women until
the little school house was crammed
with fifty and sixty scholars. Now
be it remembered, the text books
were also few and of the simplest
kind, while the master usually had
not mastered all ofthese. Of course,
the facilities for gaining knowledge
were few and limited, the boys and
girls could not make much progress
under the circumstances, especially
when the master was not very far
in advance of them.
Still another thought in considera-
ton is this: The health of the

superior to that of the present day.
Was not the simple and plain life
and habits of the people more con
ducive to health than is the strenu-
Gus life with increased comforts
and luxuries which the people enjoy
at the present day
AT that time, as l recollect it,
there were only three physicians
from Orange,ille to Shickshinny
and between the Knob and North
mountains, and these were DR.. Full

bra and DR.. at Town Hill

At that day the Touring or grist
mills were run by wooden cogged
machinery and wooden shafting,
then later by cast iron cog ma

by betting.
1t may BE- urged that the people
in the time l refer to, by reason Of
incessant labor, necessitated by the
clearing up OF the forests into beau
tiful and productive farms, in addi-
ton to making provisions for the
comfort and happiness of their fami-
lies through the preparation Of the
various fibers, through home manu-
featured cloth in sufficient quantity
to clothe their families, all of which
was accomplished by rude farm i'm
plements and imperfect machinery,
or machinery that only partially
did the work for which it was in

Inconvenience that the people were
slaves, without any hope of ever
gaining freedom.
All they only performed loving
duties which were pleasure, and
not irksome, fo' the sake Of the
loved ores depending npon them
for the comforts of life. But again
it may be urged that the people,
old and young, had no recreation
nor social enjoyments. You should
have seen the people of neighbor-
hood make bee, or spell of any
kind, and without ex option they
turned i'll and helped each other
clear the land of stone and rubbish,
or whatever job was to be done.
But along with these things went
.he bottle to stimulate the weary
and fatigued, and to renew them to
further energy.
But again, in those days there
were hardly any, if any churches.
The people of all denominations
worshiped in school houses and
strange to say. at every service the
school houses were crowded to the
wall. Many spirited revivals have
| witnessed during protracted meet
ing held therein.
But for social enjoyment, the
winter season afforded many oppor-
tunities which the farmers and their
families improved to the utmost.
During the seasons of good sleigh
ing the farmers would hitch their
horses to the big sleds, and with
large strings of bells encircling the
horses, several families would
crowd into the sleds and a happier
and merrier set Of people could
never be found in any age, and
they would drive four and FIVE
miles to Some friends, and spend
the night in the most social enjoy.

The music of the sleigh bells
could be heard on still wintry

Best Known Actor on American Stage
Passes Away.-End Came Friday
Morning at Half-p 6
O'clock.

New London, Conn.,, August 30
Richard Mansfield, the best-known ac-
tor on the American stage, passed
away at $50 o'clock this morning at
his summer residence, Seven Oaks,

by complications.
Mr.. Mansfeld's condition had been
reported as being excellent. It was
stated that he had stood the journey
we'll from Saranac Lake and that he
was up and around his home here un-
til three days ago. Then turn for
the worse set in and Mr.. Mansfield
was confined to his room. On
Thursday DR.. Mcclellan, Of Pitts
burg, was summoned. DR.. Allen said
today that he had feared the worst
for several days. During the great
actors last moments he did not rec
ognize the loved ones at his bedside.
There we're present at the time Of his
death his wife, his brother, Felix, his
young son, Gibbs, and the. physicians
and nurses.

bearers have not as yet been selected.
All day today kilograms Of condol-

Farm Labor Laws.

Editor Daily Mail:-So many OF
good farmers are asking US about the
farm labor laws that we think 1t
worth while to write a card for the
papers giving some information in re-
gard to the present status Of these
laws.
We find that there is very gener-
al misunderstanding among farmers
as to what their rights are at this
time with respect to farm labor con-
tracts. In fact most people seem to
think that farm labor contracts now
confer no rights at all upon the land
owner.
This is error.
It is true that Judge Brawley has
declared to be unconstitutional the
law of this state making it a GRIM
inal offense for a laborer to Violate a
farm labor contract, and if Judge
Brawley's decision is affirmed by the
supreme court Of the United States
no laborer can be prosecuted for vio-
lating such contract, until new law
can be passed that will be unobjec-
tionable.
This, however, in no wise affects
the law making it misdemeanor for
any person to employ a laborer un=
der contract with another. A farm
er, a cotton mill man or any other
person may still be prosecuted under
Section $50 Of the criminal code for
entieiiiny or p5fsuaadiihg any tenant,
servant or laborer under proper con-
tract with another to violate such
eontract,-or for employing any Ia
borer knowing such labor to be un-
der contract with another. The pun
ishment is by five Of not less than S25
nor more than $1O0, or Imprisonment
for not less than ten and not more
than thirty days.
Not only this, but any such person
so enticing, persuading OF employing
a laborer, tenant or servant under
! contract with another may be sued
for damagck, both actual damages
and punitive damages or "snart
money" "-and is liable to have to pay
a heavy sum to his neighbor whom he
has yronged. This was the case al
common law, and is all the more true
in South Carolina since the passage
of the criminal act above referred to
It is not thought that the juries Of
the country would be very lenient
with a man who would malieiously In
terfere with his neighbor's labor con.
tracts in the present con
dition Of affairs. The citizens Of the
state can still control the situation
TO the best interests of both employer
and laborer, by exercising a proper
regard for the contract rights Of
their neighbors..
These two remedies are not affect
ed by Judge Brawley's decision, ane
it is thought that the laws above re
ferred to are not open to any obJee
ton that can bring them into tht
United States courts.
This for the information of ou1
people. Martin q harle'

COMING INTO IT'S OWN.
Maj. Carson Head of Bureau of Man
ufacturers, Department of Com
merce and Labor, Optimistic
About Future of Char
lesion.
News and Courier.

Washington, August 30.-''I am
in thorough sympathy with the move
ment to inaugurate a permanent line
of steamships from Triest to Charles
ton, and I see no reason why such a
movement should not be all entire
success. Silky per cent Of the cotton
crop Of the country is needed every
year for export trade, regardless Of
how many cotton mills the country
may bnild. Charleston is awake to the
situation and T see no reason why, If
the present plans are carried out, she
should not regain her enormous ex-
port business formerly carried on.
This was part Of the optimistic
statement made to The News and
Courier's correspondent today by Ma
ior John NJ. Carson, chief Of the bu-
reau of manufactures, department OF
commerce and labor, when told Of
the visit of Baron Won Pills to Char
lesion, and Of the latter's assurance
to the business men Of that city that
a permanent line Of ships would be
inaugurated to ply between Charles
ton and Mediterranean ports by the
first of the coming year.
s'That is what I have been trying
to get the business men Of the South
to do for a iong time,' continued Mr..
Carson. ''Not long ago I wrote to the
business organizations Of practically
all of the South Atlantic cities asking
why they did not do something to es-
tablish permanent steamship lines to
their ports. I only received one re-
ply to my letters.
"I know that steamship lines will
take immigrants to Charleston-just
as many as the people want-because
it is their business to transport those
able to pay passage, but it is unrea-
sonable to expect them to run ships
unless freight cargoes can be assured
in return.
"The Cunard people run a ship to
Savannah, and I have been trying to
interest business organizations in the
movement to have that line extend its
operations.
"There is no reason in the world
why the cotton crop Of the south
should be shipped to New York, when
it can go just as we'll from Charleston.
This new Mediterranean line will, I
believe, tap the .Cunard Line at Nap
les for New York, going to Charles
ton.
"In a word there is not the least
reason why the plans Of Baron Won
Pills to run ships regularly from
Triest to Charleston, carrying immi-
grants to the latter port, should not
be an entire success, provided the peo-
pie will arouse themselves to the nee
essity Of securing the necessary re-
turn cargoes. That would give Char
lesion some Of her former export
business and will probably result in
that city becoming one Of the chief
ports Of the South Atlantic States. y
