ODDS AND ENDS.

John Nj. Carson, chief OF the Bureau
of Manufacturers at Washington, now
estimates that the annual production
of manufacturers in the United States
is $l5,OOO,OO0,O00, this being the total
published in his report. OF this total,
about $l,0S6,0O0,000 worth were export
ed, including foodstuffs partly manu-
featured and parts for further use in

entire export trade of the year.
The incorporation of the "First
Bahai Assembly of New York" re-
Gently gives legal form to an associa-
ton of persons who claim to offer not
a new creed but new religion. This
is later form of what was years
ago known as Babism. The head of
the faith in Abdul BAHIA Abbas, and
his home is in Syria.
Justice Walter Clark of the North
Carolina supreme court, in his New
York address, tried to show how the
federal constitution was devised to
suppress the will of the people rather
than to express it, and urged the call
ing of convention of the whole peo-
pie to revise it, in accordance with
present need and genuine democracy.
He especially attacked the supreme
court for presuming to amend the con-
stitution and to nullify the acts of
congress saying: "a more complete de-
NAL of popular control of this govern
ment could not have been conceived
than the placing of such Unbelievable
power in the hands of men not cleo
ted by the people and holding office
for life" He said that we retain only
the form of democratic government.
On observing his SEVENTEEN birthday
anniversary recently Andrew Carnegie
expressed the opinion that mans
usefulness increases with age. When
asked if man could accomplish as
much at seventy as at forty re replied:
"More, bless you, more. All things
being equal, mans efficiency is in
creased at seventy. He is equipped with
greater experience" The recipe he gave
for happiness was "To obey the Judge
within and make others happy"

Much trouble says the Industrial
World, is caused in brazing by not
using thoroughly fused borax. Dry
borax does not answer, as it swells
while brazing and makes the point
porous. The borax should be melted
in clay or iron crucible to clear
liquid, so as to drive off all water.
Such borax will not swell when used
for brazing.

PURE FOOD LAW.
First Prosecution To Test Tustin Act
Begun In Altoona.

Altoona Especially. - The first
prosecution to test the new Tustin
pure food law was entered here
against Grocer Charles Kephart for
selling evaporated peaches contain
ing sulphurus acid. Whether the
case will develop into a battle of
legal giants or an agreement enter
ed into as to the facts and let the
Judge decide whether the law is
constitutional or not has not been
decided. Dairy and Food Commits
sioner Foust is prepared for either
emergency.
Commissioner Foust stated that
the outcome of the case will be far
reaching in its effect. Pennsylvania
merchants have purchased $4,000
600 worth of California fruits for
sale this Winter, and if the decfs-
ion of the Court favors the new law
these fruits will be dead loss.
California fruit growers have en-
ployed counsel to fight the law along
with the wholesalers and jobbers'

TRANSFORMATIONS
Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing is Abandoned.

1t is almost as hard for an old
coffee topper to quit the use of coffee
as it is for whiskey or tobacco fiend
to break off, except that the coffee
user can quit coffee and take up
Postum without any feeling of loss
of the morning beverage, for when
Postum is we'll boiled and served with
cream. it is really better in point Of
favour than most of the coffee served
nowadays, and to the taste of the con-
noisseur it is like the favour of fine
mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left off and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the es-caffeine-has
been discontinued and in it's place is
taken liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nourish-
ment.

GRAFT IN COUNCILS?
President OF Pittsburg Light Co.,
Says $4,000 Is Needed.

Pittsburg Especially. = Another
scandal was started in official circles
here by the charge that Councils are
holding us an ordinance granting a
franchise and that $4,000 will be
necessary to secure its passage.
81 could spend $4,000 and get
that ordinance through Councils
without any trouble. We offer to
Pittsburg compensation and cheaper
light and are willing to place our
service on trial for twenty-five years,
and then be denied a renewal of our
franchise il we do not do what we
agree. l think we are offering the
city enough and 1 don't intend to
spend one cent to get that franchise. -

that it is being held up for Interior

Italians Pay Death Penalty For
Murder.

Lancaster, Pa. Especially -Four
Italians were hanged at one time in
the jail yard of the Lancaster County
Jail here. They were Anthony De-
lero, Stephen Carlui, Siyereo Rodelli
and Joseph Celione, and the crime
for which they paid the death pen
atty was the murder of fellow
countryman, Plato Albamese, VINO
was killed for offering resistance
when the four attempted to rob him.
The men were taken from their
cells and marched to the scaffold in
a body, each one supported by a
priest.
They presented firm front, eX-
cept Carlui, who wavered several
times, but braced up on the scaffold.
All died from strangnlation. On the
scaffold Delero, whose right name is
Delorenzo, made a statement in
which the other three joined. He
denied that they meant to commit
a robbery, and said Albamese at
tackled him with a razor and that in
self-defense he shot his assailant,
that he called for assistance and that
Celione responded and, also in self
defense, stabbed Albamese number
of times.
On the night of August 80, 1906,
they entered shanty near Gap, Pa,
occupied by Is Italian laborers, who
were asleep. One of the quartette
was stationed as a guard at the door,
while the other three awakened the
,sleepers, and with drawn revolvers
and knives demanded their savings.
The amount secured was small, be-
cause the men had only a few days
before sent away their money. Plato
Albamese, one of the laboTers, had
$50 on his person, which it seemed
was known to the robbers, and they
demanded it.
He denied he had any money
whereupon they proceeded to search
his clothes by force Resisting, he

and stabbed more than 20 times
