ations and other sources was paid
into the state Treasury. The con-
stabulary patroled 332,O miles,
$50 towns or boroughs in 81
counties. The morals and dicipline
of the force, Captain Groome says,
are excellent. sIts members have
shown good judgment, GOODNESS,
and absolute fearlessness. A re-
capitulation of the most important
duties performed will show that
during the year the members not
only maintained law and order
through the various counties of the
commonwealth in which they oper-
ated, but assisted the game and
fish wardens in the suppression of
illegal hunting and fishing one il
legal fisherman having been found
guilty took his case to the Court Of
Appeals, and then to the Superior
Court, and in both courts the de-
cision of the alderman was confirm

was committed to the Luzerne
county Jail to serve 1900 days Also

We cut from an exchange the
following written by Father Ma
hony, IA Catholic priest of Mime
sofa:
81 know nothing that saddens me
more than to return to our
own country after having been IA
little while in Belgium of Tyrol.
There the poor people seem so
wonderfully to live in the presence
of God.
"Ifyou were to go through Tyro-
lese village at six O'Clock in the even
ing you would hear from every cot
tage a hum like that of hive of bees,
every one, father and mother, and
children and servants, saying their
prayers. 1t is much the same at
noon only then many of the people
are out of doors in the fields, or in
their gardens. The church bell rings
at twelve, and the mowers put down
their scythes and take off their caps
and fold their hands in prayer for IA
bout minute, and then go on with
their work. One market day at Inns
bruck ! was dining, and there was a
party of farmers at,another table hav-
ing their dinner The church bell
rang the Angelus. Then they all
rose up, and standing reverently, the
oldest man in the party began the
prayers and the rest responded
! And the women shopping were
standing still in the market, anG
those at the booths stood also with
folded hands, and the men had theil
h ITS off, and instead of the buzz O
bargaining rose. the murmur of the
prayer from all that great throng.'
