use Of such language by master to a
midshipman wherein the chief grievance
appears to be that while the master "a
petty officer) was superior in rank to the
midshipman, who was usually boy in
his teens, "the midshipman is gentle
man by birth. and the master, generally
speaking, is not"
The English colonists in this country
brought with them the English view OF
the gentleman, though practically it be-
came much relaxed. Several years ago,
descendant of Franklin applied for
admission to the Society of Colonial
Danes. One of the requisites for men,
bership was that the applicant must be
descended from a person who had lived
in one of the States when it was a Brit
ish colony, and who was either gentle
man, or had rendered meritorious SER
vices to the public. The Society held
that Franklin was not gentleman, but
had performed services that rendered
his descendants eligible. The denial
that he was gentleman was probably
because his father followed the occupa-
ton described by the school-boy as that
OF "tallow chandelier" and he himself
had been for many years printer f; both
being below the degree of gentleman.
The Americans have retained the
name of gentleman >but have discarded
it's original significance, without having
as yet evolved definite and uniform
standard by which it is defined. While
certain general characteristics are held
indispensable, its meaning and applica-
ton on other points depend largely on
the individual view of those who use it,
and on the varied standards accepted in
different sections of the country. Some
definitions are so finical as to exclude
intelligent, cultured, upright and honor
able men who may be lacking in some
minor elements. During the civil war,
it was declared by high fashionable
authority in New York that Lincoln
could not be considered a gentleman"
Gen. Grant, during his Presidency, fell
under the like condemnation and many
others could be named, whom the coun-
try has honored, who would have no
better standing.
The fact is, the word gentleman"
used as implying all desirable qualities
and habits, and excluding everything
short of this, is something in the nature
of trade name, and can have but q
limited application in the present stage
of human development and culture. 1t
is really misleading and unsatisfactory,
but thus far no satisfactory substitute
has been suggested.

TIE danger from escaping coal gas
which was mentioned in our last issue,
has a nearby illustration in the case oi
Nelson c. Roberts and his wife, OF
Montrose. A few nights since the
chimney of their residence "burned
out" and salt was thrown on the fire to
extinguish the blaze. 1t is supposed
that during the night the gas accumu-
lated as result, and Mr.. and Mrs. Rob-
erts were both nearly suffocated while
they slept. Mr.. Roberts had been an
invalid for the past nine years and de-
spite the efforts of physicians, did moi
regain consciousness. While Mrs. Rob-
erts' condition was serious, with some
effort she was revived and has entirely
recovered.

George Kunkel, of the Dauphin county
courts, before whom they had been con-
victed of conspiracyto defraud the State.
This was the close of the case involving
an alleged fraud Of $4,000 in a bill for
furniture. Immediately after sentence
had been imposed the four convicted
men were placed in charge of the Sheriff
to await the result of an application for
supersedeas before the Superior Court
in Philadelphia. Attorney William 1.
Schaeffer, in that city, was notified
by telephone of the sentence imposed
and at once proceeded to take the nec-
essary steps to institute an appeal to the
Superior court. AS the four men stood
up for sentence, Sanderson was notice
ably pale and nervous and Shumaker
also showed signs of nervousness. Sny-
der and Mathues, however, were prac-
tically calm. AS was anticipated, with
in six hours after the application for a
supersedeas was made, it was granted,
and upon bondsmen qualifying in open
court to possession of more than $780,
600 the defendants were released from
custody in accordance with the order OF
the higher court. With this sentence
hanging over them they must prosecute
their appeal with effect or surrender
themselves to the officers of justice.

BECAUSE of the foot and mouth dis
ease the federal government has prohib-
tied the shipment of hay from certain
states. The result is hay famine in
Pittsburg and some other centers where
the supply has been coming from Mich
igan and other places under the ban.
The railroads are refusing to accept
packages containing hay and straw, such
as bananas in barrels or glassware and
crockery packed with such material.
Hay in the Pittsburg market has gone
up to $1S ton.

THE POPULAR VOTE.

With the final popular vote before the
country, it is disclosed there was no such
apathy among voters as was asserted by
the newspapers and political leaders for
a couple of months before November Sd.
There were cast in the election of 1908 a
total of IA ,S52 ,239 votes, where the total
of 1894 was 1850, ,7OS. The vote of 1900
was about 13, $780, 900, the vote of 1896
about II, 1924, 900, the vote of 1892 about
12,000,0 600, the vote OF 1883 about H.
400,0 900, the vote of 1884 about 10, 900, 900.
In one of the so-called dullest campaigns
of the generation the voters were more
fully recorded than ever before.
Mr.. Bryan polled 1,3l5,2l more votes
than did Mr.. Parker in 1904, and Mr..
Taft II, 100 more than Mr.. Roosevelt in
1904. In other words, Mr.. Bryan's in
crease over the total Democratic vote of
four years ago is nearly equal to the total
increase in the whole number of votes
cast over that of 1904.
Mr.. Taft polls the record vote of any
presidential candidate. His total of u
637, $40 votes exceeds by 1900 Mr..
Roosevelt's lead of 1901 Mr.. Bryan,
with 6,393, 1872 votes, is PA ,494 behind
Mr.. Taft.
There were five small parties in the
field, and they polled S2l, 1881 as against
about 100000 four years ago. The small
increase comes through the presence of
the new Independence party, which cast
SO, 1876 votes. The Prohibitionists fell
from 1886 to 24l ,252, the Populists
from III, ,lS3 to 1851, the Socialist
Labor party from 81 ,249 to l5,42l. In
stead of the round million which they
anticipated, the Socialists polled 447, ,65l
as against 402, ,23S, a gain of about IS 900

THE Two-CENT FARE for railroads is
here to stay. Some railway officials are
frank enough to acknowledge that in
public statements. The supreme court
of Virginia has upheld the order fixing
two cents mile in that state. 1t is in
force in a number of states now without
serious protest from the railroads, and
the territory in which it is operative is
more likely to expand than contract.

Jacob Persbacker, an old and promi-
nent resident of Callicoon Depot, Sulh-
van Co., N. Y, died at his home at that
place on Wednesday last, as the result of
paralytc stroke. He was aged about
IS years. Mr.. Persbacker was employed
on the Delaware Division of the Erie
Railroad, until few years ago, as Sec
ton mason foreman, and had charge of
the building of bridge abutments and all
heavy rock work on that division, and
served in this capacity for period oi
thirty-five years. Mr.. Persbacker and
John Voight, of Shohola, helped dig the
trench in which were deposited the re-
mains of the victims of terrible rail-
road dieaster on the Erie, at King and
Fuller's Cut, on Friday, July Is, 1884,
which was caused by the carelessness of
drunken operator at Lackawaxen, four
miles west of the disaster. The accident
was the colliding of a coal train with the
passenger train which contained S33 Con-
federate prisoners, and $50 Union guards.
There were 81 Confederates and 10 Union
soldiers killed, and the wounded num-
bered l23, some of whom died later.
The trench dug for the remains was sew
enty feet long, eight feet wide and SIX
feet deep. 1t was the common grave Of
both the blue and the gray.
