the contention that many properties were
left Off the assessment, that should be on.
These persons brought the matter TO the
attention OF the school commissioners for
Asettlement but after some discussion the

As a result the question was referred

PENNSY EARNINGS
SHRINK SEVERELY

Heavy losses in gross and net earn
ings are shown in the annual report OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad. and these
losses are ascrihed by President Nc
Croa TO "the industrial depression.
The company's gross earnings was
Si36 e96.S7l, decrease of s2s.5i5.954
and the net was Ss4.S95,s7s. a decrease
of $3.50. 1856.
The results Of the depression are, as
the president says. clearly shown in the
abnormal decreases IN traffic and rev
enue. The freight tonnage decreased
over eighteen per cent. and the Ton
mileage and the gross earnings there
from show a falling off OF abou,
twenty-one PER cent. The passenger
traffic shows a reduction OF about ten
per cent. in mileage and over seven
per cent. in revenue.
The average rate received for the
Transportation OF passengers was less
than two cents per mile. And Mr.
McCrea says the railways are not re.
cciving a reasonable compensation fol

/ forts and facilities furnished to tho

The presiding genius who watches over
kitchens has seen to Il that they are gem
orally pleasing and good to look at. Why
this is so is not always understood. IL
may be because the usual simplicity and
freedom from unnecessary ornaments
makes them restful TO the eye.
In a house that is overdone with furni-
ture and fripperies the kitchen will some
times be the one place where an artist
would feel happy. No very bad sins can
be committed against good taste with
only the simple deal tables, wooden chairs
and homely objects that belong naturally
TO the kitchen. II is not only the old
, Dutch painters who have found pictures
in the Kitchen interior"
In furnishing a kitchen, therefore, one
thing should be kept in mind; that is, &c
keep it absolutely simple and distinctly
In character. Tiled floors and walls are
found in the kitchens Of the rich. but a
coat of paint or whitewash even will an

and utensils in keeping will convert The

FEAR TROUBLE
WITH MINERS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. March Financial
circles are troubled To-day over the
situation in the anthracite coal fields.
The peace agreement" that has been
in effect since 1903, expires with the
present month. If it is not renewed
the hard coal district is likely to again
be tied up and the fight between the
mine owners and their employees viii
be refought.
While no one will admit belief that
the strike must come, the leaders in
the anthracite field shrug their should
ers when questioned as to the exact
conditions. and refuse to talk. This
is true both as TO men. like President
Baer of the Philadelphia and Reading

Herby Is Angry.

JEFFERSON CITY, May 90.
Governor Hadley is out with a
statement as a review of the legis-
lature in which he sings praises for
the Republican house of represen-
tatives and denounces the Demo-
cratic senate. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the Governor organized
the house when he caused Alfred
A. Speer to be elected speaker and
he has dominated to a certain ex-
tent every action of that body.
The house would not always do
his bidding, but in the man he ap-
piled the party whip through Speer
and the caucus leader, Lloyd, and
in this way he passed several
measures which would have helped
the governor build up strong
party machine through the boards
which they provided and which it
was the province of the Democratic
senate to kill.
But it is sad fact on the leader
ship of Governor Hadley when he
was unable to make the Republic
cans of the house swallow the
measures which he prepared for
them in the way of raising reve-
nue.. The inheritance tax bill,
which taxed the property of the
dead, and the Kies assessment bill,
which sought to make the farmers
pay nearly all the taxes to main
tain the state government, and the
club tax bill were all defeated by
the house though the party lash
was applied. These matters af-
fected the members vitality and
they would not stand. He applied
the lash and passed the corpora
ton tax bill alter 1T had met defeat,
as he did the immigration bill
which will be a valuable adjunct
to a Republican administration in
helping to bring Republicans into
the state.
The Democrats Of the house
l I- ~ r. NH.. =. {. .-. -.
fought this bill because they said
the state was enough Of itself to
advertise for immigration and 1t
was a useless expenditure of $685.

need of revenue by the admins
