days to six months for each offense. 1t
will be seen that the law is very drastic
and if strictly enforced may get some of
the unwary merchants into serious
trouble.
AT the recent sitting of the Superior
court at Pittsburg, the appeal of the coun-
ty CT Clarion VS.. Clarion township, touch
ing the liability for the care and mainte-
nance of that part of the old condemned
turnpike running from the Clarion bor-
ough line to the Jefferson county line,
was decided in favor of the township.
The decision of the county court that the
county was liable for the care and main
tainance of the road in question was thus
affirmed. The above decision means that
Clarion county will have to maintain and
keep in repair the turnpike passing clear
through the county from the Venango to
the Jefferson county line.
According to nearby county papers
deer are going to be plentiful the coming
season. 1t is stated that droves of as
many as seven in a bunch have been
seen, and three or four of the animals
travelling together is no uncommon oc-
currence. The increase in numbers is
said to be due to the shortness of the
game seasons and the protection afforded
the female deer, the past season. Bear,
too, are said to be numerous, more so
than ever, and unless there are heavy
forest fires the coming summer there is
every indication of big game in evidence
in abundance in few years and the
shooting as good as il was when deer
could be found almost in any forest.

Too Much For Rockefeller.

Tarrytown, N Y, January &.-Follow- ing the announcement that John D. Rock efeller had directed the superintendent of his estate at Pocantico Hill to give work on the estate to the Tarrytown men who are out of employment, an army of the unemployed, the largest ever seen in this part of the state, marched down on the estate yesterday. Many of them were from New York city and other places within a short distance. The su- perintendent declined to furnish work for any of the applicants except those who live in Tarrytown or in the immediate vicinity of the estate, saying that it was necessary to take care of them first and that there was not work enough to take care of the unemployed from dis tance.

 ate recommending the giving of pensions to the members of the life saving serv- ice, such as are given to firemen and policemen in the large cities.
 The President qoutes from his annual message to the 18th Congress and says: "The need for some appropriate legis- lation for the relief for this body of best secure the desired and, involves contrary, increased and will steadily con- tinue to grow until relief is granted. The determination of what course will do with the efficiency of the service itself two important considerations, one has to do with the efficiency of the service itsel and the other which I think should ap- peal to the Congress with equal force, directly concerns the welfare of the mem bers of the life saving crews when disa- bilty incurred in the line of duty has impaired their usefulness"
 The President speaks of the difficulty of holding the best men in the service under present conditions.
 The President calculates that surfmen receive an average of only about $50 a month and he instances several cases of actual want among these men and their families, declaring in this connection that our treatment of them is 'gravely dis creditable to us as a nation.'
 The President concludes:
 "The situation calls for immediate &C., ton and l earnestly urge some ade- quate form of relief for body of men who have saved thousands of lives, often under circumstances of extreme peril and millions of dollars worth of property at a comparatively insignificant cost; whole bravery has never been sur passed uLbn the field of battle whose achievemjhts has won worldwide recog- hilton a4d who are deserving of the na- tion's grftitude and protection"

NEW TERMS MADE
 ON FRENCH GOODS Reciprocity Arrangement Is
 Settled Upon
A REDUCTION OF DUTIES
Agreement Just Signed By Secretary Root and Ambassador Jusserand Affects Wines and Cham
 pagnes Particularly.

Washington, January 2S.-Seeretary Root and Ambassador Jusserand today signed the Franeo-American reciprocity arrange ment drawn under section of the Ding ley act.
 The agreement comedies to France an abatement of 20 per cent in the duties on champagne and sparkling wines imported into America For it's part the French government confirms the minimum tariff rate now accorded to American products. Provision is also made for appointment of a commission of three members on each side to consider and report upon possible amendments to the existing trade relations in both France and America to facilitate exchange.
 The new agreement differs substantially from the various trade arrangements drawn under section 8 of the Dingley act, which have preceded it. The inn portant point of difference is the method employed to protect each party from that form of traiff manipulation which con sists in arbitrarily increasing the duty on certain articles as a basis of securing additional concession from the other side Therefore, it is provided in this new
 'ent that the abatement of duty on
 Hnagne shall be conditional
