WOMEN TO KEEP THEM

on the seIfshness Of Men.

Speaking Of the relations Of the two
sexes Miss Marie Corelli has written
a scathing indictment % mems selfish
ness in an Introductory note TO the
new volume of stories which she has
written, entitled "Delicia and Other
Stories"
"To put It bluntly and plainly" Miss
Corelh writes" a great majority Of
the men of the present day want wo-
men to keep them.
TT is not a manly or a noble desire;
but as the kind Of men ! mean have
neither the courage nor the intelli-
gence to fight the world for themselves

cient weaklings that they should

A BIG SALMON.

While trolling in the cove below
town last Thursday evening George
Gaumer caught salmon that
measured 2SA inches and weighed
8 pounds. This is one of the largest
fish taken from the river at this

We know of but one larger, and
that was salmon taken by Sheri-
dan Miller several years ago that
measured 81 inches and weighed 9
pounds and 3 ounces.
Mr.. Gaumer caught another nice

MIFFLINVILLE BRIDGE.
The County Commissioners HI

The County Commissioners have
sued the King Bridge Co. and its
bondsmen to recover the amount
paid that company for the super
structure of the Mifflinville bridge.
In 1901 the King Bridge Co. con-
tracted with the county for the
erection of the iron-work on the
bridge, and filed a bond for faith
full performance. AS the bridge
progressed money was paid them
from time to time. When the
third span was completed the ice
flood of 1902 carried the bridge
away. The commissioners paid the
company the balance of the con-
tract price, less the cost of the TN
built span. The material was taken
out of the river and removed to the
factory at Cleveland.
The next session of the legisla-
ture passed a law providing for the
erection of bridges over streams
more than 500 feet wide where an
uncompleted bridge has been swept
away by flood. The state is to erect
the bridge, and the county is to
turn over to the state all the ma
terial of the former bridge, and the
unexpended balance of the contract
price.
In advertising for bids the state
announced that the contractor
should have the old material.
The contract was awarded to the
York Bridge Co. The King bridge
Co. is therefore out of the deal, ex.
cept that it has the old material and
the pay for part of the bridge which
it never delivered.
What can be recovered in the
suit remains to be seen.

ITALIAN DESPERADOES ARREST
ED.

With the arrest of a number of
the lawless leaders of the foreign
element in West Berwick and Briar-
creek, it is possible that some of
the crime that has been so preva-
lent in that section may be sup
pressed. '"
Twelve members of the gang
that has been guilty of almost every
crime from murder down, were ar
rested.
The confession OF a woman, who
for three months was prisoner in
the dive, shows the power which
the gang held over the entire for
eign section where Fortunate Gala
bra was "king" and his word was
supreme. That she and three other
women were compelled to submit
to the greatest outrages and to an
extent almost beyond belief, are
facts in the woman's sworn con-
fession.
Twelve persons were arrested
Tuesday. On Wednesday District
Attorney Small caused the rearrest
of Fortunate Calabra, the alleged
king" and Antonio Calabra and
Lorenoz Fedulla, leaders of the
Black Hand band and white slave
joint in Briar Creek. Together
with Sheriff Ent he went to Ber-
wick and caused new warrants to
be issued charging them with rum
ming a speak-easy, keeping a dis
orderly house, bawdy house, con-
spiracy, extortion and carrying
concealed deadly weapons.

a young lady is the only sure antidote
 for the visitations of that renomous
 reptile known as the burglar Her
 presence is a better protection for life
 and property than all the policemen
 and sawed off shotguns in the world.
 Last night an epidemic of burglary ran
 its course in Tempe and now the bur
 glars are running and the officers are
 running after them.
 It was soon after dark. a few min
 utes past o'clock, when a human hy-
 ona crawled through window on the
 west side of the residence of A. C..
 Webb. There chanced to be a young
 woman in the room, sick and in bed and the light out She immediately inquired of the visitor the nature of his mission. In his most apologetic manner and in true Chesterfieldian style he begged her pardon and an nounced that he had made a most em- ,barrassing mistake; thu his mission was entirely honorable but that he had entered the wrong house. Then he departed through the front door very hastily.
 Walking straight across the street the man unhesitatingly entered the front door of the residence of NJ. F.. Curry. most of the family being in the kitchen at the time. Proceeding stealthily but quickly up the stairway to the secCnd floor he opened the door to the most convenient apartment and as he entered hc beheld another young lady standing before a dresser. With out waiting to be cross-questioned he again offered his sincere regrets at the intrusion, insisting that the house he was trying to find his room in had
 been misplaced by somebody. Suavely
 lowing with the pOiiteness of Nervy
 Nat he immediately withdrew. hoping there had been no offense. and as be- for. departed by the front door.
 During all this proceeding the Misses Finnie and Hutchinson. members of the normal faculty. had been out to dinner. They returned to their homes about [ o'clock or little after and it Is HOW supposed 1t was their resi- dcnce the burglar had been locking for as about everything portable that had

CROWDS ARE INCREASING Al Tilt HENRY MEETINGS
Growing Interest in the Services-Mr. Mothers Solos Are Heard With Rapt Attention.

Dr. Henry's prelude was on "Alco- hol as a poison" He said: Modern science declares that alcohol is a poi son. Four thousand physicians have said that alcohol is poison and have ceased to prescribe it for medical pur- poses. Wine is as the poison O.; asps. Tt biteth like an adder" is the warn ing of Gods word. God thus declares that alcohol is d poison. Science, ex perience and Gods word, all in one voice declare that alcohol is a poison. The wise man will avoid swallowing poison.
 Sermon theme, The Meanest Man in the world"
 Then Mauasseh Knew the Lord that he was God"
 Mauassed was reared by parents who were faithful to Jehovah. He had all opportunity for becoming a wise and good man. But he turned from early training and the faith of Jehovah to idolitry. He led Israel into Ehe most heinous sins. He was granted many privileges. Jehovah did not forsake him but visited him to turn him from his sin. Men in this day He visited by Jesus and his spirit, in sermons
 
 but resist all the pleadings or God. Mauasseh was determined to have his own way, set up aItars to strange Gods. worshipped Moloch. led Israel to forsake Jehovah, sent affection upon him in order to bring him to repent ance. He is captured by his enemies and thrust into a dungeon. God often seeks to save men through affection. .t,r.. may be softened in their hearts, that they may hear the voice of God calling to a life of repentance and obedience.
 Mauasseh was finally humbled in the dungeon and he entreated the Lord and the Lord heard him. It would have been better for him to have called on God in Jerusalem and to havs. escaped the punishment of Babylon. ~ Better for men to seek God before the wicked days come and sin brings suffering. God heard Mauasseh in the dire distress of this dungeon Tn Baby lon. God will hear the prayer of the sinner. In any place, in any condition the earnest prayer of penitence will be heard and answered.
 Mauasseh was delivered and restored to his own family and people and city He was released from the darkness of the prison. Now he call Israel to worship Jehovah.
