WHERE HONOR IS DUE.

The term of State Treasurer Ber.
ry ended with the taking of the
! oath By his successor, John O.
Sheath, Republican. During the
two brief years that Mr.. Berry filled
the office much history has been
made in this state. The name OF
Berry will long be associated with
the Office. His reforms will endure
for long time, unless all signs
fail. With him as he retires to pri-
vate life, he takes the esteem OF a
majority of the citizens OF the state
and the consciousness of task we'll
done. The Republicans of the state
promised much to secure the cleo
ton of John O. Sheath, the present
incumbent. His pathway has been
made clear. He need but to steer
to the course laid down by Berry.
The voters believed his promises.
Will the promises be fulfilled ? Ber-
ry kept his. In his campaign for
election he promised to lift the lid.
And he lifted it. What was found
underneath is now known of all
men. The stencil reached the far.
thest corners of the state and nation.
The most gigantic conspiracy of
graft and bare faced robbery came
to the light of day through the sim
cerity and honesty of purpose of
this man; man who dared to do
what he thought was right in the
face of frightful odds. Berry served
the people and it is from the peo-
pie that he will receive his full
share of praise. So puny a slight
as that given by the Republican
organization which left all reference
to the state treasurer's Office out of
its platform at the recent state con-
vention can only rebound to the
credit Of Mr.. Berry and heap odi-
um on those who intended the slap
at the happenings of the past two
years in the Office of state treasurer.
To Mr.. Berry belongs the chief
credit for unearthing the capitol
graft cases and bring about the con-
viction of Sanderson, Mathues, Shu-
maker and Snyder. This is the
situation as the people see it. The
efforts of the politicians whose in
terest it is to make little of the lid
lifting cannot change.

The June Llppincott's.

The June Libpine0tfS is an excep-
tionally strong and well-balanced
number. The leading feature is of
course the novelette, THE Plague
of Heart" by Helen Milecete.
This is the tale of a once wealthy
young widow whom the rascality
of man she trusted has reduced
to poverty. Determined to keep
up appearances SO far as possible,
so as not to endure the pity of her
former associates, the young widow,
Mollie Arbuthnot, goes to spend
the summer with her friend Leta
Harriott, whose family are of the
new-rich class and nave social aspi-
rations. Leta's father seeks Mrs.
Arbuthnot's S hand in marriage, much
to the disgust of Mrs. Haselton,
who has designs on the wealthy
wldower herself. Leta is engaged
to young British nobleman, Lord
plymouth, who is also stopping
there, but twithstanding this, she
flirts desperately with Charley Nit
chell, me- er-do-weel and her faith
er's pet aversion. Caught meeting
him early one morning by Mrs.
Haselton, Leta lies out of it by de-
claring it was not she, but Mollie,
that Mrs. Hasel;on saw. Molle
consents to play the scapegoat in
order TO save the girl from the con-
sequences of her folly. To her joy,
her old lover, Billie Keane, refuses
to believe i'll of her, however, and
soon the silver lining begins to show
through clouds which have been
particularly dark and ominous.

circle of admirers among nature
lovers, contributes charming

KNOX'S CHANCES.

Washington, May 25.-As the
national convention approaches the
friends of Senator Knox are more
determined than ever to bring about
his nomination. Gen. Chas. Miller,
of Franklin, Pa, prominent bus,
mess man and leader Of the c.. A.
R., in an interview voiced the SEN
timents of the Republicans of his
state.
when you ask if the people of
Pennsylvania have any serious
thought that Senator Knox will be
"ominated for the Presidency at
,Hicago, 1 answer, Why should he
be?' was the remark of Gen.
il!er.
Perhaps men of other states
)k upon Pennsylvania as so safely
&epublican that it is not necessary
o think about nominating a Penn
sylvania man for the Presidency.
We have not had a man from the
Keystone State in the White House
since Buchanan, and l think it is
about time we were being recogniz-
ed. Of course we are serious in
our support OF Knox for the Presi-
dency. We are fond of the Senator
whom we know to be admirably
qualified for that high place. He
would give us an administration
that would be a credit to himself
and the country, and would extend
our business interests. That is
what we want-the promotion Of
our home industries.
"It is all very we'll to talk about
the Constitution and Old Glory; it
is fine to be patriotic and to instill
patriotism in the minds os our
youth. I fought for the flag in the
Civil War and would fight for it
again. But we cannot win business
by talking about the Stars and
Stripes and the Constitution. You
remember the man who went to the
Orient with a flag in one hand and
a copy of the Constitution under
his arm: He extolled the beauties
of the one and explained the other,
but when he got through the Jap
said to him: Well. what do you
want :? / don't care to hear about
your Constitution; your flag is
pretty. But if you have anything
to sell, trot it out and let's have a
look at it. ,"

Work for Miners.
Operators Are Preparing to Store Ten Mil
lion Tons Before April Next.

Anthracite miners, numbering
"a 900 men, are to be given steady
employment and not a day will be
lost to them If the rapidly maturing
plans of the operators are carried
out. The three-year wage agree
ment under which the miners are
working expires on April ist next
and it is the desire of the operators
to store before that time not less
than 10, 900, 900 tons of various siz-
es of hard coal in anticipation of
any prolonged disagreement over
the terms of the next wage contract.
There is very little hard coal in
storage now for the production Of
the last few months, since the in
dustrial depression began in Octo-
Der last, has been restricted to a de-
gree. Since the low wholesale
prices went into effect on April Ist
last the demand from dealers has
been so great that the stock of de.
mestic sizes has been kept at low
ebb. There has been some accu-
mutation of smaller sizes, but this
is expected to be absorbed quickly
when the larger industrial plants
resume full operation. Because of
these conditions it is said authori-
tatively that coal prices will not be
reduced further.

Several times lately party of
young men have treated the resi-

They probably imagined they were
singing; nobody else did. If these

the suburbs somewhere to do their

some conception of what singing
really is, they will confer a favor
upon the people whose slumbers
they have been disturbing.
