New Castle News

In these April days when spring
is in the air and everyone is looking
forward to the coming season, we
ought to be thinking of how we can i'm
prove the appearance of ourtown. Those
who are fond of flowers will, as usual,
help to make things bright and cheer
full by a floral display in their yards and
gardens. We hope every householder
will do something towards this end.
1t can be done at almost no expense,
and just a little effort with a spade and
rake will do wonders.
There is something more important
in a way than the growing of flowers.
We should have a beautiful city, but
we should have a well-kept and neat
one. Ashes and ~tin-cans should be
kept from the streets; garbage should
be removed out of sight and smelling
distance; weeds should not be per-
mitted to grow rank; fences should be
repaired and perhaps whitewashed, and
repairs should be made where necessary
on the houses. Get some of the local
tinsmiths to repair your cutters and
spouts; call in a carpenter for a few
hours and ave a great many later on;
get a painter to put in some time this
year and the carpenter may not be
needed next. The mason cal help
the good work along by pointing up
some of the chimneys. In other words
let us try to have a "well-groomed"
town and a clean one as far as possible,
a well-dressed one-nOt ruiz down
at the heel. Towns are judged just as
men are; a dispirited down at the
heel, down in its luck town is not
likely to attract newcomers.

And now political wiseacres have dis
covered that the eason why President
Roosevelt wishes Secretary Taft elected
as his successor is because Secretary
Taft has promised to make him Su-
perintendent of the Panama Canal
construction. The Penn's Grove Rec
ord long ago advocating appointed MI.
Roosevelt to that position when his
term expires. He will surely make
the dit fly when he gets there and
should be kept there until he finishes
his job.

MINISTER CoMMffS SUICIDE
A Great Sensation At Woodbury..

Rev. George w. Tomson, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church, of Woodbury.,
committed suicide on Thursday evening in
his apartments at the Newton Hotel, by
shooting himself in the head. His body,
cold in death, was not found until about
nine o'clock OF Friday morning, when a
maid entering the room was Mortified
upon the discovery of the popular pastor
lying on the floor by his bedside in a
pool Of blood.
The announcement of the suicide
caused intense wonder and excitement
among the citizens of that city, and while
many umor were set afoat as to the
cause OF Mr.. Tomson taking his own life,
many of his close friends in the church
| believe that failing health, together with
close application to his pastoral duties
caused temporary alteration of the mind.
That Mr.. Thompson was not in the best of
health had been noticeable among init
mate acquaintance for several weeks
past and while he was not heard to COM
| plain but little, he lacked his usual
energy and enthusiasm.
Mr.. Tomson was to have been married
| Tuesday to Mrs. Fannie r. Kenworthy,
one OF the most estimable women Of the
| city. Announcement of their engage.
ment was made only a few days ago and
preparation for the wedding and a trip
to Boston had been completed. In the
pockets of the dead man were found the
| train tickets to Boston. When the sad
news was communicated to Mrs. Ken
worthy she was completely Frustrated.
Therei is also another woman mentioned
| in the case on whom he had lavished
costly presents and who raised a storm
when the engagement was announced.

POMONA ORANGES.
Their Province and Some of Their
Duties Suggested.

Their Province and Some of Their
Duties Suggested.
1t is quite evident to those who are
familiar with the work Of the Pomona
oranges within the state that they are
not accomplishing the highest purpose
for which they were organized, and it
Is often the case that their work is
confined wholly to the programme pre-
scented at each quarterly meeting, and
between sessions the influence Of the
Pomona is as little felt as If there were
no such organization. 1t Is a province
of the Pomona grange to have an over
sight over the subordinate oranges
within its jurisdiction and where they
are weak to strengthen them. Partic-
ularly in the literary programme can
the county lecturer make his influence
felt in building up the literary work Of
the Order. Furthermore, it is through
the Pomona that the subordinate
oranges should cooperate in buying
and selling and in the accomplishment
Of any desired object. The committees
on cooperation or legislation in the
ouDoiu1udte SEduSeS SuOulu Ue III tOuCu
with the same committees Of the Po-
mona oranges and should not weaken
their influence by acting separately, as,
for instance, petitioning the legislature
or congress for any desired action.
Furthermore, the Pomona grange
should have careful oversight over the
subordinate oranges in respect to de-
gree work. While this perhaps is the
province of the county deputy, yet he
may be greatly assisted by the officers
Of the Pomona in his work. Each Of
the subordinate degrees should be ex-
emplifed, n at a session perhaps, at
the Pomona meeting, and 1t should be
done with a view to perfecting the de-
gree work. OF course the fifth degree
will be conferred at least once a zeal
In full form and as perfectly as 1t can
be done. 1t is the special province of
the Pomona grange to render all the
assistance possible in every way to the
work Of the subordinate oranges.
Even amid the wreck Of regulations
and the crash of booms the work Of
saving Niagara falls must not be al
lowed to lag.

NO PROFIT IN GAMBLING.

Riley Grammar Is dead. He was the
most picturesque gambler the Blue
Grass region ever produced. Every
cigarette sucking youth who ever saw
him on the racing course aspired to
mulate Riley Grammar. Speaking of
him the Memphis Commercial-Appeal
says:
Grammar was bern in Lexington,
Ky. where once lived the owners of
the proudest horses that ever faced
a starter.
But the glory of these feet-footed
racers is gone The careers of the
Harpers and Caldwells and McClel-
lends are memories.
The breeding farms became TO-
bacco farms and the Night Rider is
making of them a desert.
Grammar was born a gambler The
virus was in his blood when he was
eble to walk
But the thing he loved killed him
He won more than a million dollars
| But he lost it all and then owed ma
tLre a debt for fast and riotous living
Disease and poverty combined against
him. Grammar could not beat the
| combination.
"He died a pauper in far-off Nevada
600 niles away from the Blue Gras
fields that smile in the springtime."
