 NOT DEAD
JOHN eRO5ST. AGED SEVENTY WAS REPORTED TO HAVE
 DIED.

WILLIAMSPORT-Through the in- advertent exchange of bed charts in the men's ward of the local hospital. where two aged men were patients and both in critical condition. John Brobst. aged 70 years. was reported as having died The members of his family were notified and they sccur d an undertaken and proceeded to the hospital, where they asked to see the remains To their surprise. the hos pital authorities discovered that John Raynore, of Camdeal, aged 7S years, had died, and not Mir. Brobst.
 Prior to going to the hospital the family telegraphed to the two sons. one residing al St. Louis and the oth- CT at Peoria. H.. and a daughter re- for this city at once and they could not he located by the family to nead them off. Dispatches were sent to them when the truth was learned. but they had all started.
 The daughter arrived from Pittsburg and was naturally surprised to learn that her father was still alive and somewhat improved
 How the mistake came to be made at the hospital is not known. but the two aged patients were confined in the same ward. Mir. Raymore passed away during the absence of the nurse and when she discovered the death she made the report from the chart that belonged to Ar. Brobst.

 KILLED
TRAIN OF COAL CARS DERAlLED AND BOILER ExPLooEs KILL
 ING ENGINEER.

ELKINS. w. Va, Nov. 5.-Theo- dore Miller was killed and six other men were seriously injured yesterday by the explosion of a donkey locomo- tive. The men were employed by the Jacksonville Coal company and were running the donkey engine with a train of several coal cars over a long trestle.
 In the center of the trestle the en- zine was derailed and toppled over carrying the cars and the seven men with it. Just as the engine struck the water the boiler exploded and Miller, who was the engineer, was blown to pieces.
 The six other men have been carried to the hospital, and, in the opinion of the doctors. after making a careful ex- animation. it is doubtful if more than two of them will recover from their injuries.

CONGRESS AND ALASKA.

The Seattle Post t-IntelliGcnccr has had its Washington correspondent ex- anime into the reasons for the opposi- ton of both houses of congress to a territorial form of government for AL aska, and he found that the nations legislators recognize the responsibility of their positions and are slow to in- flict branch of the race with the fruits that might bend 1t to the ground or break it.
 Surely no one can accuse Speaker Cannon or men of his stamp with mer- cenary intentions, or with lack of fore sight, The fact that they live at a want of knowledge of the conditions nor can anyone say they lack patriotic feelings,
 They know the conditions here and know them we'll perhaps, better than some men living in the country. and their opportunities for studying mat ters of political economy have been in fnitely superior to the opportunities presented to most of the people here.
 Not that they must be right and territorialists wrong. Many men in whom, are combined the qualities of high intelligence and unselfshness seem to favor home rule, or. at least, some modified form of it. but has any of them looked forward as those Wash ington legislators seem to have done?
 It would be the easiest thing in the world to rdicule talk about liberty by reminding people that Roosevelt Can non and others do not harbor the ambi- tion of making us slaves.
 The great difference is that men who hold responsible positions are slower to act than others. They know the danger, and they know their ac- tions could precipitate it, so they pause. Irresponsible people often act because they are full of a knowledge of their own impotence and therefore dread no danger from their own work. Place them in the others place and a radical change would occur. One can describe the idea in other words by changing a famous saying to read: "The powerless jump in where the powerful fear to tread"

BONFIRE OF MONEY
WILLIAM PRESSLY WELL KNOWN ACTOR CAUSES A SEN
 SATlON.

CH1CAGO.-A special from Webster City, Iowa, states that a tragedy oc- cured yesterday which caused great sensation. In the presence of large crowd Will Presley, a well-known act or, who was here on a vacation, made a small bonfire and fed it's flames with paper currency. This attracted a very large crowd, to whom he made short humorous address. in which he an nounced that he was goiug to kill him self.
 His friends argued with him, but as they did not believe he would do any thing of the kind. they did not inter- fere. He next took off his watch. rings and other jewelry and threw them into a sewer. "Now will you believe me-" he asked.
 Then he drew revolver and shout ed Come on boys, and see me die" He walked across the street, struck a dramatic attitude before the large crowd and fired bullet into his brain. He died instantly.

gent nor mtelligible. It is an opinion which in greater or less degree might attach to every other delegation. Every country represented at The Hague wanted some modification of war: not one wanted or expected the abolition of war. The inconsistencies of the speeches. and resolutions are traceable to tho fact that the delegates were advertised to the world as the advance agents of universal peace while they were only the revisionists of war. Moreover the revision of war was in the hands of It's friends The great powers. Germany, Russia, Japan are powers. Great Britain, America and France. are powers capable of war, and all of them are mixed up with problems which may call for war at any mo- ment The remainder of the Hague representation might have been for peace but it was the cipher behind the significant figure It increased the importance of the digit without adding to its own value.
 Yet the character and achievements of the Hague conference are not to be secuted. The fact that such a confer ence could be held with the attendance of all the great nations of the world is in itself significant The fact that it did not agree 10 abolish was is insig- nifcaut. Nobody expected the im- possible and nobody but the Steads and their enthusiasts is going to be disappointed that tie impossible was not accomplished
 The conference developed the capac- ity of the nations to work together in some small matters. It points clearly to their being able to work together in greater matters. Ii might take several generations of such conferences to abolish war, but not one of them could be held without some other good being accomplished Each one would add valuable items to the body of interna- tional law Each one would make the nations know each other better and respect each other more.

WALL STREET 4 NATIONAL
 DANGER.

IL WAS said that when Secretary Cor telyou succeeded shaw at the treasury he would not countenance the practice of his predecessor in what may be de- sciibed as doping the market" in seasons of emergency With loans of national moneys This announcement created some amuseemnL which has been justified by the event. Mir Cor telyou has not been a month in office and already he has twice gone to the assistance of Wall street ard the dis tressed stock gamblers.
 We impute no blame to Mir, Cortel- you. But his nasty presumption that he could reform il altogether by the exercise of powerful will is cause for amusement. It was as if he would add a cubit to his stature by taking thought
 It is clear that Mir. Cortelyou recog- nizes dimly that the practice is es- sentially vicious, or, rather, that it is a desperate remedy for vicious condi- tions. The truth is that Wall street is a national danger. The street plunges into a debauch of speculation. Bank ing funds are tied up to float the boom in stocks. There is no money left to do the industrial and commercial busi- ness of the country A squeeze in money comes and at once the secretary or the 8------. uHpIOTpd JO come to the relief of the banks in order to avert disaster to the industry and commerce of the country. Visions of panic. and the destruction of conff- dence and credit are called into play. and not without reason. The secretary really has no alternative. He must save the market no matter how little he may love the plungers.
 Obviously. the fault lies with the banks. They undertake dangerous commitments to finance Wall street op- erations. and they do this with the more confidence or daring because they know that when the pinch comes the secretary of the treasury may be ex- pected to help them carry the load
 It is easy to say that the bankers ought not to get beyond their depth to finance the operations of stock gam blers. This is quite true in the ab- stract, but when it is stacked up against the vast and easy profits that the bankers make by financing such speculations it cuts little figure. For in tance let us take the purchase of the Southern Pacific by Hartman for the Union Pacific. It is in testimony before the interstate commerce con- mission that Harrimans bankers were paid per cent on the first purchase of 750,O00 shares and then were paid 5 per cent for underwriting $40, 1000, 900 in bonds issued to pay the price That is to say, the bankers took the transac- tion coming and going and realized 10 per cent on the whole. That kind of business is going on every day Since the beginning of the present fiscal year the Union Pacific has bought stocks of other railroads amounting to S103,000, ,000 and this is only a single factor in the market. That Is why the bankers take chances of creating panic, although every wheel is turning crops are good and earnings higher than ever before. In a word Wall street is a national danger.

First Day at school in China.

A Chinaman wished to enter his boy
at the school of Scottish teacher In
Pekin, and called at the educationa
establishment In question one day
along with his little boy. The follow
ing amusing scene then took place:
The Chinese gentleman was escorted
to the reception room, and both he and
the teacher shook their own hands and
bowed profoundly. Then the teacher
asked:
MAY l inquire your honorable
name?"
MY mean, Insignificant name is
Wung."
Tea and a water pipe are sent for
and the teacher politely suggests
please use tea"
The Chinese slipped and puffed for
perhaps a quarter Of an hour before he
observed to the teacher that he should
be overjoyed to learn the latter's hon
orable name"
This was the teachers cue to reply,
my mean, insignificant name is Jones. u
"How many little stems have you
sprouted?' This means, How old are
you?"
II have vainly spent thirty-two
years." modestly replied the instructor.
ais the honorable and great man OF
the household yet living?" said the
Chinese, who is asking after the teach
er's father.
"The old man is we'll"
"How many precious little ones have
you?"
"I have two miserable little dogs, -
meaning his own children.
"How many children have you in
your illustrious institution"

At this juncture the Chinaman deem
ed it time to get down to business.
venerable MASTER" said he. "I have
brought my little dog here and wor-
shipfully entrust him to your honorable
charge"
The little fellow, who had been
standing in the corner of the room,
came forward at this, put his hands
on the floor, and knocked his head
against 1t. The teacher raised him up
and sent him of to school, while ar
rangements were made for his sleep

Moon shadows,


Many persons cannot understand why
the shadow made by an object In moon
light is darker than the shadow made
In sunlight. The difference is due to
the fact that the light of the moon is
not so strong as that of the sun. As
light travels always in straight line,
shadow, either In moonlight or in
sunlight, would be intensely black were
it not for the dispersed and reflected
rays around the shadow. The dark
ness Of the shadow is reduced by these
reflected rays, and as the rays of sun
light are stronger and brighter than
those of moonlight, they reduce the
darkness more. 1t is the dispersion
and even distribution of the suns rays
through space. and their reflection from
the dust particles of the air, that make
daylight

Internally, stimulates the action OF the
heart, and consequently the circulation
of the blood. This stimulated action
of the blood shows more plainly on
the face than on any other part of the
body, because the nerve-system and the
bl od-yessels of the face are peculiarly
sen tive. But alcohol also has para
lying effect on the nerves and the
blood vessels, and its habitual use gets
those of the face into such a condition
that they no longer perform their
proper functions. That is to say. they
receive blood from tine heart, but do
not send it back again, as they do
when they are in a normal state of
health, the result being that the face
acquires chronic condition of redness.
