PENNYPACKER FAVORS BALLOT
FOR WOMEN.

Calamity coming to the fore as
defender of the suffragette and a
champion of the ballot for women,
Ex-Governor Samuel w. Pennypacker
addressed the Colonial Danes OF
New Jersey at their annual meeting
at "Fairview," the country home of
Mrs. George de Bennville Keim, at
Edgewater Park.
THE work of women is all leading
to one ultimate end-woman's suf-
frage," said the former governor.
There is no doubt that the suffra-
gettes will win, and l am with them
in their purpose and efforts. Wo-
men have taken their stand for good
government and have mastered the
intricacies of politics. They are
more energetic and successful than
men in the work they undertake"
The speaker commended the So
ciety for it's preservation of historic
relics and records and declared that
it has done valiant service in keep
ing alive the spirit of early America.
The meeting was attended by 200
Danes, blue-blooded descendants of
colonial settlers, all of whom wore
the badges and insignias of their
society. Many of the distinguished
visitors were from other states, and
scores of them were officers and lead
ers of the exclusive organization.

Whenever the people of Pennsyl-
vania go to the polls in anything
like their full numbers, they roll up
a Republican majority that is the
wonder and admiration OF the he
uublicans of the rest of the coun-
try. These majorities have put the
state at the head of the Republican
oolumn and made it the leader OF
Republican policy and sentiment.
There never has been time When
a large, an overwhelming Republl-
can majority from Pennsylvania
was more needed than it is this year
1t is not merely question OF elect
ing the Republican candidates Tor
state offices; it is the more import
ant one of giving support to the real
principles and purposes of the party
Those principles and purposes
found their truest advocate and rep
resentatives in the Senators and Re-
publican members of Congress from
Pennsylvania during the recent ex-
ira session struggle over tariff re-
vision. They won their fight against
both Democrats and Middle West
Republicans, who had broken away
from the safe anchorage of the par
ty on the protection question, and
they should be overwhelmingly in
dorsed.
Can there be any doubt about
where Pennsylvania stands?
Certainly not. What is needed,
however, is such a demonstration OF
its position as can be best given by
an overwhelming Republican ma
jority at the coming election. Every
Republican should contribute to
this, for the result will have unusual
significance.

The state has made an admirable
start in the right direction. 1t now
owns over $4,000 acres in forest re-
serves, in which an axe cannot be
swung without the sanction of the
state and without strict supervision.
1t has established three forest tree
nurseries in which are being grown
millions of seedlings each year. 1t
has planted over 100000 seedlings
and aims to plant 2O,OO0,00O each
year. 1t has 80 trained foresters in
the field and above all it has an ac-
tive Forestry Commissioner and
Commission. But this is only a
start.

ELECTRIFYING AMERICA.
Fifteen Million Miles of Wire Used
for Telegraph and Telephone.

rhOocH MHlIOn Miles OF wire USe0
for Telegraph and Telephone.
More than 100000 miles of
single wire is used by the people of
the United States in communicating
with each other. OF this amount
about 100000 miles is operated
by telephone systems, the rest by the
telegraph companies. The length is
enough to encircle the globe at the
equator 600 times.
In fact it must be even greater
by this time, as the above figures,
though recently published by the
Census Office, refer to 1907. At the
1880 census the telephone compan-
les reported 34,305 miles of wire,
about one-ninth of the mileage of the
telegraph companies. In 1907 the
telephone mileage was eight times
as great as the telegraph.
In the amount of business done,
the sum paid in salaries and wages
and the capital invested in 1907 the
telephone business was little over
three and one-half times as extern
sive as the telegraph industry, and
during that year it furnished en-
ployment for more than five times
as many persons.
Between 1902 and 1907 there was
an addition of 8,O9S,91S miles of
wire for the use of the telephone
systems, as compared with an in
crease Of but 259,611 in the mileage
of owned and leased wire for COM
mercial telegraph purposes. The
increase in the wire mileage of the
telephone systems during the five
years referred to was more than six
times as great as the total amount
of wire added to the telegraph busi-
ness since 1860.
The use of telephones by railroads
exclusively in connection with the
operation of the roads has increas-
ed rapidly since 1902. Although
the electric interurban roads early
recognized the advantages of the
telephone for despatching purposes
the larger steam railroads have been
disinclined to substitute the tele-
phone for the telegraph.
The bulletin points out that it
gives the first statistics for the COM
mercial wireless systems already es-
tablished, and states that they were
operated at loss of $47,62S in
1907.
There were six commercial wire
less telegraph systems in 1907, op-
Grating 122 tower stations, located
at most of the large ports of the At
lantic and Pacific oceans, the Gulf of
Mexico, the great lakes and in Haw-
all They transmitted 163,617 wire-
less messages. Over the telegraph
wires in 1907 there were flashed
36S,470,509 messages, of which S.
S69,317 were cablegrams.
1t is shown that 90.5 per cent. of
the cities with a population of at
least 10000 in 1900 were equipped
with elastic fire alarms. 1t appears
that for 1907 there were 120,719
fire alarms received. Concerning
police patrol signalling the bulletin
says that there were 41,961,650
calls.

CAT SUFFOCATES BABY.
Mother After Long Fight Drove
Cat Through Broken Pane.

SAJ lIITOukn bTOkcn PanG,
Over the fences and through the
yards of the houses in Scholes street
Williamsburg, big black cat roam.
ed last Wednesday night. 1t was
cold and the cat wandered from yard
to yard seeking some place where
there was warmth and shelter. AT
length it came to the rear house at
173 Scholes street. In a window on
the second floor about six feet from
the ground was hole. Johnny
Sanders had driven a baseball
through the pane in the afternoon.
The cat leaped from the ground,
gained foothold on the windowsill
and crept through the hole into a
bedroom inside. Sleeping in the
bed were Mrs. John Sanders and her
nine-weeks' old infant. The cat
leaped lightly to the counterpane OF
the bed, stepped gently across the
form of Mrs. Sanders, and nestled
comfortably on the chest of the
sleeping infant.
1t was several hours later when
Mrs. Sanders awoke at 5 O'Clock
with a premonition that all was not
right. She threw her arm across
the bed feeling for the baby that
lay beside her. Her hand encounter
ed a warm, velvety substance, and
in sudden fright the woman sprang
out of bed The cat which her touch
had disturbed, leaped up also, and
Sprang at the woman. Mrs. Sanders
beat it off with her hands, and then
managed to seize broom that stood
in the corner of the room.
The cat leaped at the woman,
clawing at her night gown, and try
ing apparently to reach her throat.
Mrs. Sanders struck right and left
with the broomstick, missing the
cat as often as she hit it, while the
cat continued to leap at her and claw
her. Still Mrs. Sanders did not cry
out. She feared to awaken the baby
and continued the fight with the cat
until at last she drove it out through
the hole in the window through
which it had climbed hours before.
Then Mrs. Sanders turned to the
bed. Through her mind was run
ming the old superstition that cats
will inhale an infants breath and
thus suffocate it whenever they gain
the chance.

FAIR EXCHANGE NO ROBBERY
Rumania Gets Our Sweet Corn and
Gives to Us Her Little Melons.

Gives to Us Her Little Melons.
Americas sweet corn has been
traded for Rumania's little water
melons. Horace G. Knowles, ex-
American minister to Rumania, who
is soon tostart for his new post as
minister to Nicaragua, consummated
the transaction in the interest of good
living.
When Mr.. Knowles found the mel

growing in the Carpathian foothills,
be realized that it would be just the
thing to serve individually in Amer
lea.
He obtained quantity of the seed
and transmitted it to the department
of agriculture. The little melons
have been cultivated with success at
the government experiment stations
in those regions where huge Ameri-
can melons are grown.
Having gained this desirable deli
cacy from Rumania, Mr.. Knowles
was anxious to repay the gift. He
noticed that the people were utter
strangers to sweet corn. According
ly he obtained seed for this product
from the department of agriculture,
hired several plots of ground him

How the Ancients Wrote Letters.

A recent mission of the Chicago
University resulted in the discovery
of more than two thousand tablets
covered with wedge-shaped charac-
ters (writing) dating Ave thousand
years B. G.
They are of every possible variety
of size and shape. The most ancient
look like little orange on which
the scribe responsible for the writ
ing painted scrawling characters and
left them for the sun to dry. That
particular form of tablet was replac-
ed by fiatter disks, and, last of all,
about four thousand years before
Christ, came the perfectly fat, square
and rectangular tablets which were
to hold their place indefinitely.
Among the rectangular tablets of
the ancients there were a few de-
signed for special use. Some of
them were for the use of school
children. They were very much like
the states used by the children of
the infant schools-nearly round.
One of the most remarkable of those
special forms was that of the tablet
used for correspondence dating from
$500 years B. G. The clay slate
was prepared and the inscription
made as for all the ordinary docu-
ments; then, when that part of the
work was done the slate, or tablet,
was covered with a thin envelope,
also of slate-clay, Just as we use en-
velopes to-day. to protect the letter
from curious eyes.
