Washingtonville Wants Trolley.
Residents Will Try 10 Arouse Interest in Limo.

The Danville Ms,ning WfaOs says:
For some time the people of the
northern end of Montour county,
and the residents of Washington
vile and vicinity in particular,
have been desirous of being con-
nected TO the county seat by trolley,
and now that the talk of line be-
tween Danville and Milton is being
agitated, a determined effort will
be made to have the new road
built by way of Washingtonville.
To this end a number of the
prominent citizens of that section
of the county have teen out among
the farmers and others whose land
would lie along the right of way
and it has been found that the sen.
tment is unanimously i'll favor of
the proposition. So eager are the
people for a trolley that those who
are i'll position to know state that
between Danville and Washington
vile there is not one land owner OIL
whose property the trolley would
abut, who would object to giving
free passage to the line.
A few days ago several of the
more enthusiastic spirits met al
Washingtonviile and discussed the
project. Present were Harry Bill
meyer, of Derry Township; George
Oliver Wagner, of Limestone town
ship; c. w. Seidel and Dan Frazier
of Washingtonville. 1t was the
sense of these men that the matter
should be properly exploited ant
then a mass meeting should be
called at which all interested, ant
especially those residing along the
line, be present.
In this way something definite
could be done, and the results o
the meeting could be placed in the
hands of committee, whose busi
ness it would be to interest tn,
proper parties in the scheme.
So sanguine are the people il
that section that the line would b,
great success that it is believed
that many of the bonds for the new
road could be sold among the resi-
dents along the line.

One of the serious mistakes in
the Primary election law-and i,
has a number of others-is the pro-
vision which delays the official
count for three days after the clos,
ing of the polls. This delay is cal
culated to cause suspicion that the
returns may have been tampered
with, especially in case of close
run between candidates for nomi.
nation. The returns should be re.
quired to be on file in the Commits.
sioners' Office not later than the
Monday following the Saturday on
which the primary is held and that
the count should be proceeded with
as soon as the returns shall have
been fled

Boiling Silver.
How To Keep il in a High State Of Polish.

One of the best known methods
of making silver that is in constant
use look like new again and of re-
moving every trace of dullness for
some time to come, says the New
Yoak Tribune, is to put the various
articles in a large tin wash boiler,
after thorough polish with harts-
horn and whiting or silicon, and to
cover them with water into which
handful of washing soda has
been thrown, and allow the water
to boil for two or three hours.
On removal good rubbing with
soft chamois is productive of very
high polish. In the case of hand
some handmade pieces with re-
pousse or embossed designs in high
relief this is actually the only way
of getting the deposits of cleaning
powders out OF the crevices, and
for several weeks rubbing is all
that is necessary to bring them up
to the proper brilliancy.
Once a month, or once in six
weeks, is the time limit for these
silver boilings, for otherwise the
maids grow to depend upon their
efficiency and neglect the weekly
cleaning,

The reports of government and
state chemists upon the analysis of
certain breakfast and some of the
widely used health foods are not
conducive to appetites for these
things. While not containing es-
pecially injurious elements or in
gradients, they are far from being
wholesome and nutritious. The
cid plain foods usually found on
the tables of farmers are the most
nutritious and wholesome. Meats,
potatoes, rye bread, rice and buck
wheat cakes, together with an
abundance of fruits, fresh, preserv-
ed or dried, and various kinds of
vegetables are such stuff as good
healthy minds and bodies are made
of.

Nonsenslcal Pure Food Rulings
lFrom Leslie's WeeklY.)

" iCiA bNSA'S . 'SSNiy'J
We have referred. heretofore, to
the absurdity of the ruling of DR..
Wiley that ice cream, properly so
called. must have fixed amount
of cream in its composition, or it
must be ruled out" as ice cream
Yet the cook book of the Navy
Department, issued under the gov
ernment's seal and approval, con-
tains recipes for the manufacture
of ice cream from milk and eggs,
as it is most commonly made in the
household. We have alluded also
to the disgusting statements made
by DR.. Wiley concerning the man.
ufacture of gelatine manufacturers
of the United States; to his ridicu-
lous attempt to prevent the use of
the name corn syrup" for pro-
duct manufactured from corn and
cane sugar and which he cannot
deny is pure and wholesome. Now
come the fruit driers of California
with bitter protest against the
rulings" of DR.. Wiley's board as
to the quantity of sulphur which
may be used in drying fruit. They
contend that the maximum allow
ed by Wiley is only one-third of
that allowed in Germany, which
has the strictest food regulations in
the world. The fruit crop of Cali
fornia is so large that to dry it by
the natural process, as DR.. Wiley
insists should be done, would be
almost impossible.
The obstinacy with which Wiley
has maintained his right to make
rulings" that are resented as un-
necessary and oppressive and have
nothing to do with the purity and
wholesomeness of foods and drinks,
has called down upon the admins
tration the criticism of some of our
largest manufacturing industries.

Leah Kleschna."

The most drastic scene in Leah
Kleschna," Mrs. Fiske's famous
success, which will be acted at the
Grand Opera House on Feb. 10,
by Marburg, Jacques & Smith S
special company is the burglary in
the second act. For the few who
are not already familiar with this
thrilling play of c. M. S. McLel-
lan's, it may be said that Leah is a
girl who has been trained to thiev-
cry by her father, a criminal of
extraordinary ability, who believes
crime as legitimate a business as
any other. Reared in this atmos-
phere, Leah moral sense had been
dormant. The awakening comes
in the scene referred to, when in
the midst Of a dangerous and care
fully planned robbery. she is con-
fronted by a man who, unknown
to himself, has exerted an influence
for good over her. He is the de-
putty, Paul Sy.vaine, prominent in
France and distinguished for his
advocacy of moral suasion instead
of punishment for criminals. Syl-
vaine is to be married on the NOR
row and his family jewels, a pre-
sent for his bride, Claire Berton,
are in the safe in his library.
Kleschna has learned this through
Raoul Berton, Claire's brother, an
absinthe wrecked young rounder,
who seeks to lure Leah into his
clutches. Kleschna plans the rob-
berry, which Leah, his cleverest as
sistant, is to execute. She enters
Sylvaine's library by window.
The stage is entirely dark, Sylvaine
having just put out the lights and
left the room for the night. Only
the flash of Leah's dark lantern
pierces the blackness. 1t lights
the door of the safe and two hands
that force the lock. The jewel
case is removed, the thief puts it
in bag. Suddenly there is sound,
a revolver clicks, and the voice of
Sylvaine commands her to stand
still. "A turn of the switch and
Sylvaine sees before him frail girl
whose nerve has not deserted her.
Her revolver looks into his, but she
is looking at him and sees her hero,
man who had saved her life two
years before. Since then she has
looked up to him as all that was
good and noble. And now she is
robbing him. 1t is the turn of the
tide for Leah, and Sylvaine's kind
ness and love lead her to the light.
He does not arrest, upbraid her or
even grow sentimental. He simply
understands her as no one else has,
and sympathetically rouses the 9TH
er and better woman in her. From
that moment Leah is no longer a
thief. What follows In the play
forms the most novel and dramatic
story that any modern playwright
has written. To tell it in detail is
to spoil the enjoyment of the audi
tor. Suffice 1t to say that in the
end Leah finds happiness and love.

Cuban Student browns.
Many Skaters from CoIIegeviIle See Him
Sink.

With his schoolmatesl I almost
within arms reach, Rafael Sabori-
do, OF Havana, Cuba, a student at
Ursinus Academy, Collegeville, Pa.
was drowned while skating on the
Perkiomen, at that place last We'd
nesday afternoon.
Almost all the students of Ursi-
nus College and Academy were
skating on the creek, but most OF
the skaters were farther up, as the
ice where the unfortunate student
met his death was considered
unsafe.
Hardly a minute before he broke
through Saborido had been warned
of his danger by one of his school
mates. He skated on, however,
into a large airhole.
Several students who were not
far away came to his rescue, but
the ice was so thin that they were
unable to save him. Boats were
then brought, and after graphing
half an hour the body was brought
to the surface, about three yards
from where he went down.
Saborido was working his way
through the academy and expected
to visit his mothe, in Cuba, whom
he had not seen for three years
next summer.
He was formerly a student at the
Bloomsbury Normal School.

We take great care to keep out
of the country undesirable persons
who have no means of self-support
or who have criminal records, or
who have bodily ailments likely to
contribute to the spread of disease;
but there are many mischievous
aliens who get into the country and
who ultimately find their way into
our jails as a result of minor offens-
es who are sources of continuous
trouble. They sometimes are the
advance agents of new methods of
depreciation learned in foreign
schools of crime to which we are
strangers. This class of criminals,
once jailed and released, should
not be allowed to keep up an inter-
mittent living inside and outside
our jails. A second appearance in
the Courts and a second conviction
should be punished by deportation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Thorlas F.
Ryan announced today that, yielding to
the advice of his physicians. he had
resigned from the directorate of 81
corporations. The only enterprises in
the management Of which the noted
financier retains hand are the Morton

company.
Ryan was told by his physicians that
the cares as the chief steersman of so
many of the financial organizations,
some of which, such as the Equitable
life assurance society and the Inter
borough Metropolitan street railway,
were more than enough to tax the
endurance of any one man, were rap
idly undermining hts health. After a
busy career of 40 years, Ryan felt he
could unharness himself from his many
responsibilities and devote his life TO
