One Humorous Feature of Census
Bureau Work.

A humorous feature CT the work Is
that Of the hundred agents sent out
to gather divorce statistics, large
majority were bachelors. They were
to find out whether the husband or
the wife had been TO blame for the
trouble that brought about the di
vorce; from whom the application
came; the number OF children from
the union. If any: whether alimony
had been paid, and also whether in.
temperance had been directly or in
directly the cause of the separation
II seems curious that the question
rs Marriage Failnre?p has come
under the consideration of the census
bureau bachelors. but these statistics
will prove valuable in view OF the
fact that over $4,000 divorces were
filed from 1867 to 1857. From 1887 Ia
1897 the aggregate was over 400, 900
cases. and the startling fact was dis
closed that most of the divorces were
furnished Ivy the rural districts and
smaller cities. and that divorce case
is filed every three minutes.
When the bachelor brigade have
collected all the facts for the divorce
census. We may look for information
that. will provide food for thought foi
the socioloeists and philosophers. and
Give them ample material upon which
TO dllate for many years TO come

Taft Praises Jap.nea AospitaIll,

'a'S Praises Japanese hospitality,
The most hospitable and delightful
courtesy was shown the American
visitors throughout their stay in ia
pan. The Emperor placed the palace
of Shibn, in Toxic, with It's beautiful
gardens and lake, at the disposal OF
his American guests, and the stay was
memorable for novelty and interest
Although neither the Emperor nor the
Empress speak English their syInpa =
thetic attention proved that there is
Il universal language which all man
Kind understands. Ii the men and
women OF the United States who have
seen suggestions of differences be
tween the two nations analysed n.
length. might have experienced the
genuineness of the Japanese welcome
and tue warmth of their hospitality
there would have been instant agree
ment that the subjects on which we
lare in accord far outnumber and out
weigh those on which we may have
slightly different opinions.
Al dinner rendered by the city OF
Toxic 10 the American guests. three
hundred leaders of japanese thought
Including many high officinls. were
present. Large numbers seemed Ia
fully understand the English Ian
guage, and the responses TO senti
mcnts of good feeling between the
two nations were instantaneous and
enthusiastic.
The lake. near which tine palace Is
situated. is famous fishing water
containing large numbers of a fine
little Japanese perch. Here. in this
beautiful garden. the Empress Is ac-
cnstcmed TO spend much of her time
and occasionally she. enjoys fishing
for the little inhabitants of the rocky
pools. No American small boy could
withstand the opportunity which this
nearby pond afforded for bit OF

REYNOLDSVILLE
CITIZENS HAVE
GOOD RECORD

No town in this state, perhaps, of its
size and financial resources, has made a
more heroic effort to help itself in an
industrial way than Reynoldsville.
When something was proposed that
looked good, her people came to the
front with their money in manner
that showed the proper public spirit.
And they have secured some valuable
industries in this way. But this local
patriotism has been taken advantage OF
by few sharks and confidence men,
some OF them the slickest in the busi-
ness, to feather their own nests and
"do" the people good. This, however,
should not discourage the people OF
that town from further efforts. 1t
should only sharpen their wits without
causing them to lose heart or abate
their zeal.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

Friends Of Joseph
AiellO will Present
Petition for Pardon
Prisoner was Under Sentence of
Death at One Time andgHad it
COMMITTED to Imprisonment
for Life in the Penitentiary.

AT the December term of Jefferson
county court in 1896 Joseph Aiello, Of
Walston, was convicted OF murder in
the first degree. The evidence was
such that many believed the killing was
done In self-defense, yet the verdict of
the jury was first degree murder. Il His
victim was Louis Scalzo and the deed
was committed Chrstmasl day, 1895.
While the members OF the Aiello house
hold were eating dinner Scazo, who, 1t
was alleged, had been making trouble
all forenoon, came to the house and
started In to do the family up, and in
the melee the intruder was stabbed to
death. The case was taken from the
county court to higher COURT but the
judges refused to interfere with the
sentence of the lower court. The case
was then laid before the State Board OF
Pardons and the Board commuted the
sentence to life term in the peniten-
tiary. In view of the evidence, and
taking into consideration facts that
have since come to light in Aiello's
case, the friends OF the prisoner believe
that his deed, viewed in its worst light,
has been more than expiated, and a
petition for pardon will be presented.

WARM DISCUSSION
AT ASSOCIATION
TUESDAY NIGHT
Free Criticism was the Order OF
the Night and Many Things
Were Brought Up.

The session of the Business Mems AS
sociation last night was one of the liv-
liest 1t has ever had, due mainly to the
discussion which arose concerning the
action of the Reynoldsville school di-
rectors in the recent attempt to change
place of holding the county institute.
The members unanimously commended
them for their work. Indications are,
however, that the question will come
up again next Tuesday evening when
the Association meets again.
Incidentally, the Association gained
two new members last night. Several
impor tant matters relative to public
improvement were brought up and the
"ginger" displayed showed that the
organization can make itself an exceed
ingly puguacious factor in local affairs

In 1904 the citizens OF Reynoldsville
and surrounding community subscribed
and paid over $50, 900 for the erection OF
a steel plant at this place and the stock
was watered and juggled until the en-
tire plant was sold at trustees sale on
the 7th inst. for $4,000. W. Harry
Moore, Of Reynoldsville, bought the
plant.
The American Production Company
was name of the company that first
started 1t and afterwards 1t was sold to
the Pittsburg Industrial Iron Works.
There is much that we could say about
this plant, the manner in which it was
conducted, the men that figured in bam-
boozling the stockholders out OF their
money and the effect it will have on
the town and community in the future,
but we will not say it. The stockhold-
ers lost all they invested in the enter
prise.
1t is to be hoped now that some COM
pany will buy the plant, operate 1T and
give employment to a number OF people
and be benefit to the town. 1t is
good plant, is IN a good location, fuel is
cheap and there is every advantage for
operating the plant cheaper than such
plant could be operated any other
place. There is no reason why it should
not be made paying industry If it is
managed right.
