of new school law the leg
islature of 1909, which has just come
to an end, did not enact any notable
legislation. A feature of the session
was the election of two United States
senators-Boies Penrose of Philadel-

burg, being chosen to succeed Phil
ander c. Knox
Far above anything else in import
ance was the passage of the school
code bill. Since the establishment of
the free public school system in this
state, more than 1000 school laws
have been placed upon the statute
books. Two years ago a commission
was created to investigate and report
a comprehensive law to the present
Legislature. This was done, but the
bill met bitter opposition from many
sections of the state and for a time
it was thought the measure would
fail. AS passed, the bill repeals all
the old laws and covers everything
from the little kindergarten to the
big universities and includes the larg-
est city and smallest village. Among
other important measures passed was
the bill providing for a great public
highway across the state from Phila-
delphia to Pittsburg

Franklin Lillian Sutton, who
was recently removed as matron of
the county farm. had hearing on a
charge of embezZling property of the
county. A former employe of the
county home testified that County
Commissioner II. II. Baumgardner was
supplied with two pounds of butter
every week for two years from the
county farm and provided with large
quantities of vegetables. The com
missioner, it was said, got many
articles for a wedding anniversary
dinner at the county farm. The wit
ness alleged Mrs. Sutton had dresses
made from county dress goods Mrs
Sutton denied the charges, but she
was held for trial at court. Homer
Sutton, the deposed steward, was held
for court on a charge of attacking an
inmate of the home.

A $50 Funeral Sermon.

One of the shortest sermons on rec.
ord was that preached at the funeral
of Nine. Cresswell, woman of the
Stuart restoration period in England
She bequeathed $50 to fee a clergy
man to preach her funeral sermon,
STIMULATING that he was to mention
her name and to speak nothing but
well of her. He got over the obvious
difficulty by briefly abiding to her
name and last request, without any
praise except this: "She was born
well, she lived well and she died well,
for she was born with the name of
Cresswell; she lived in Clerkenwell
and Camberwell and she died in
Bridewell."

the schoolroom to enlist in the Union

passed, admitted him to the bar. At twen-

Another forceful character among these
new members Of the upper house Is
Joseph l.. Bristow Of Kansas. Born on

eighteen he went west with his young
bride of the Bluegrass to settle among

he went up and up until he found him
self prepared for the ministry. To pay
his college expenses and support his
family he ran country weekly. and
this won him also a political power which
he did not anticipate. His first reward
came at twenty-five, when elected clerk
of the district court. He then gave uI
the ministry and became political re-

he studied law and started in practice at
Cleveland where he lectured at the law

schools who launched his first boom for
Congress, in 1888. He has been in the
