Hammer Oldest Implement.

Fhe hammer, besides being a tool
of universal use, is probably the old
est representative of mechanics
tool kit. The hammer was originally
a stone fastened to a handle with
thongs, and 1t was as useful as
weapon as a tool.
Hammers are represented ON the
monuments of Egypt 20 centuries be-
fore our era. They greatly resemble
the hammer now in use. save that
there were no claws on the back Tor

people and now branded as felofis
their downfall gives cause for
sorrow, not for rejoicing. But past
experience-the almost invariable
failure of prosecutions involving
charges of the malversation of pub
lie funds-made the outlook hope
less that knavery and criminal COM
placency in public Offices could be
brought within reach of the arm of
the law.
The impression that legal outlets
and quiddities formed insuperable
obstacles to any attempt to reform
existing abuses through penal pro-
cess blighted regenerative move
ments and deadened civic spirit
Wrongdoers felt safe in repeating
with leer Tweed's famous query |:
What are you going to do about
it ?" And it seemed veritably as if
nothing could be done.
The news from Harrisburg proves
that things are different" indeed,
in Pennsylvania, and there is pro-
misein it that things will stay differ
ent. Unless the rulings of the trial
Court should be found to have been
so greatly in error as to justify a
reversal of judgment on appeal
and i'll view of the simplicity of the
legal questions involved there is
little to fear on that score-the
possibility of success in future pro-
secutions of political conspirators
has been wonderfully increased. It
will not be requisite to produce in
proof of such conspiracy the con-
fessions of the Conspirators or seal
ed articles of agreement between
them signed with their own blood.
Juries will be permitted to draw
the natural inferences from the acts
of dishonest or criminally connpla-
cent custodians of public moneys or
occupants of offices of trust.
The same rules that apply to
conspiracies against individuals APP
ply to couspiracies against the peo-
pie. The finger OF scorn can no
longer be pointed at this community
as one that is not only corrupt but
content in its corruption IT is
proud day for the Commonwealth
and proud day for the Demo-
cratic State Treasurer, whose Wig
ilance and rugged honesty were the
means of discovering the crime and
bringing the great criminals to the
bar of justice. .-PHiIa. Record.

SaWdust Kills Fish.

State Fish Commissioner Meehan
has instructed his wardens that
hereafter sawdust will be consider
ed a f'poison" under Section 26 Of
the Act of 1901, relative to the pol
luton of streams, and that they
prosecute all persons who pollute
streams with this substance. Saw
dust in the streams is a source of
constant annoyance to the wardens
who have streams in lumber regions
under their surveillance, and there
is scarcely district in Pennsylva-
MIA which is not more or less affect
ed. Many mills get rid of sawdust
by dumping it into the streams.
and it kills the fish by choking up
their gills. Only one law was ever
passed directly bearing upon this
matter, and that one is nearly
century old, and according to Com
missioner Mehan does not cover the
ground.

A popular hymn is Theodulphs,
"Ail glory, laud and honour" be-
longing to the ninth century. and said
to have been written by the poet,
while in an Anglers prison.

effect that when Louis the Pous,
King Of France. was at Angers, he

GLIyh the Bishop of Orleans, had
lCag been incarcerated he was seen
st.LG.Es at the open window of the
cell, and there, amid the silence of
the people he sang his hymn, to the
delight Of the King, who at once
ordered him to lie set at liberty and
restored 10 his see. In some minor
details Obs legend is referred to by
other writers as well.
The original is too long to be sung
in modern services as H. has no few
er than seventy eight lines. Tho
verses usually found in our hymnals
are but a fragment of the original
hymn, which, with more or less alb
breviation, has been used as a pro-
ceasional for many centuries.

Several residents of Blairsville
are reported to have been victimiz-
ed by sharpers recently. Frank
Christian, who recently embarked
in the wholesale grocery business
to get the Italian trade, gave an
order to a travelling salesman for
$500 worth of goods. paying $3.50
in cash and giving his note for the
balance. A few days ago he re-
ceived notice from a New York
distillery company saying they held
his order for fifteen barrels of whis-
key aud as soon as he makes pay
ment of the note the whiskey will
be shipped. Christian says he or
dered no whiskey, and has sent an
attorney to New York to investi-
gate the matter A farmer named
Clark Dunlap was approached by
stranger who said he had an $50
buggy at Derry that he would sell
fer $40, and also lot of groceries
that he would sell for $40, away
under value. The farmer bit and
in turn was bitten, as lie is unable
to locate buggy or groceries. Two
other farmers were done up on feed
propositions.

Woman 1870 Years Old.

Perhaps the oldest woman in the
United States is Miss Mena Miller,
an inmate of the York county aims
house, who, according to the rec
ords of that institution, has reach
ed the remarkable age of ,3o years.
Miss Miller was admitted to the
institution on January I, 1860, at
which time it was claimed she was
80 years old. Since then she has
been an inmate continuously, with
the exception of a few weeks at
time when she took what she called
jaunts" between York city and
Baltimore. The last of these trips
was taken two years ago.

be about two army corps as their

seventy years. And this year is to

Congress seems prepared to pass
the Frye resolution which provides
that the material for the Panama
Canal must be carried in American
vessels unless the prices charged
are extortionate. OF course this
exception makes the bill seem fair
on its eace, but the fact is that
under such bill the Secretary of
War will feel compelled to pay at
least so per cent more to American
ships than is asked by foreign YES
sci owners, and even il when asked
still higher prices by Americans
there will be howl of Indignation
from the vessel owners if he dares
to employ foreign ships. That was
the case with the vessels carrying
coal to the Pacific for the current
battleship cruise, it will be remem-
bered, although the Secretary did
fly in the face of the shipowners
and charter a number of foreign
vessels.

Representative Tawney is again
shouting economy and he declares
there will be no public building bill

made for only two battleships if he
has his way. He says he is deter.
mined to keep the total appropria-
tions down to the limit for the cur
rent year. 1920, 900, 900 but it will
be interesting 10 see if Mr.. Tawney
raises his voice against the pernici-
GUS pension legislation whereby it
is proposed to put all the old SOL
diers' widows who are not entitled
to pension under the existing
laws, on the rolls at SI2 a month,
thus increasing the pension budget
by about SIS, 900, 900 year. That
is a measure with which it is ex-
pected to make Republican votes
ard perhaps promote the candidacy
of Speaker Cannon. Cannon makes
Tawney chairman of Appropria-
tions, and so it goes.
