breeze. Sure we want to attend
on Taylor Day, fact OF the BUSH
ness is, we hope to attend every
day as we believe that we will feel
twenty years younger after at
tending the Chautauqua.

FIRST MEETING
IN RECENT YEARS
German Bundesrath Called to
Discuss Situation.

Berlin, Nov. 13.--The meeting OF
the foreign affairs committee of the
bundesrath,s or federal council, now In
session here, is attracting much inter-
ested speculation. The circumstances
preceding the assembling of this COM
mittee, "a most unusual step, have
given rise to the inference that the
meeting is called to take some action
with the idea of preventing Emperor
William from pursuing an independ-
ent course in the foreign affairs OF
the empire, as well as from publicly
indicating personal policy differing
from that of his government.
The ministers-president Of the Ba-
varian, Wuertemberg and Saxon dele
cations to the council--the bundles.
rath represents the individual states
Of the. empire as the reichstag repre-
sents the German nation-arrived In
Berlin for the committed meeting 9
few days ago. The assembling OF the
committee has become to be an al
most forgotten feature OF the constitu
tional institutions Of the German EN-
pire and it is for this reason that st
much speculation attaches to the ex
traordinary proceedings.

NO CURRENCY LEGISLATION
But Banking Laws May Be Amended
at Coming Session.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Congressman
John w. Weeks of Boston, chairman
OF the subcommittee on banking laws
of the congressional joint currency
commission, talked with the presi-
dent. He expressed the opinion when
leaving the White House that there
would be no currency legislation
passed at the coming session OF con-
gress, but said 1t was not unlikely
that bill changing the banking laws
would be introduced. He believed
certain changes in the national bank
ing act, based on recommendations OF
the comptroller OF the currency and
experienced bankers. would be em.
bodied In the measure. He thought
the bill might not be passed at this
session, but it's introduction would
afford time for full consideration and
clear the way for its passage at the
next session.

PLAN TO MAKE IT PAY

Postmaster General Meyer Recon-
mends Special Local Parcel Post,
Confined to Rural Routes, and AS

Would Put the Department on a
Paying Basis.
Washington, Nov. 13.--Postmaster
General Meyer announces that the
postal deficit for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1908, amounted to s16,9lo,7
279. The receipts were $191, ,47s,663
(being S7,S93,657 greater than the
previous year, and the expenditures
$20S, ,s5l,Ss
The deficit is the largest in the his
tory of the postofice department. An
analysis of the figures shows that 3d.
S91, SCI represents the advance In the
rate of compensation authorized by
congress for employees Of the railway
mail service, rural delivery service,
city delivery service and assistant
postmasters and clerks In postoffices.
! The normal increase In the revenue
| for several years was about y per
| cent and in 1908 429 per cent, the
| falling off in the rate of growth be-
ing due to the financial depression.
The postmaster general said that in
his annual report he would call the
attention of congress to the fact thai
he is firmly convinced that the estap
lishment of q special local parce
post. confined to rural routes, wouie
tend to wipe out the postal deficit ane
would finally make the rural deliver!

Our editorial reference last week
to the act separating. the court of
sessions and the court of com.
mon pleas was based on or COM
prehensiou of the subject in a gen
eral wav. Since writing this ar
ticle we have had conversation
with Senator Bass who assumes
responsibility for it) with regard
to the new law and We are con-
viuced that our information when
the editorial was written did not
cover certain points which place
the matter in a different light.
In referring to the matter in the
first instance it was far from our
intention to reflect on anyone, but
merely to call attention to what
we deemed an act of useless and
unnecessary legislation, costing the
county several hundred dollars.
Senator Bass reminds us land we
are glad to be set straighD that un-
der the old law the court of
common pleas could not be op-
ened until Wednesday and it
would have been impracsicable for
the same set of jurors to We
in both courts without
time" from Monday until
nesday of the first court v
therefore the county is out 1t
ing so far as the paying of J
rors is concerned. We believe;
however, that the act might be
amended so that ! both ..courts
could be held the same week, the
one Immediately following the
other without loss of time, by
which arrangement the county, in
a majority Of cases, would BE
saved a substantial amount..in the
way of expense.

E An Inch Of Rain.

The rain fell in buckets, the
thunder racketed terribly and the
lightning drew zigzag lines Of bright
gold upon the violet sky.
$50 you, too, don't know what an
inch of rain is exactly" said the
weather clerk, as he looked at his
rain measuring instrument. Every
few people do, it seems. I'll explain
it to you.
AN acre is 6,s72,64O square
inches. An inch of water on an
acre is therefore 6,272,64O cubic
inches. That amount, at 227 cubic
inches to the gallon, equals $4,000
gallons or 100000 pounds or 100
tons.
"An inch of rain is, in other
words, rain fii.:ng at the rate OF
100 tons to ilc acre" ."-Philade.-
