Indian Names.

Judge Irwin of this place, whose famil-
iarity with such subjects as the Indian
traditions and history of this section, and
whose knowledge of the lore of the an
clients is perhaps not equaled by any other
person now living, writes this note OF
correction to the Oil City Derrick:
81 notice in the Derrick Of to-day quite
an able article under the heading "His-
torical Names" but some errors have
crept into the same. The writer deplores
very properly the fact that so many In.
dian names have been ignored in the
naming of our states, counties, cities,
towns and streams, and as a consequence
"the country, as a whole, has lost much
ofthe poetical and picturesque that might
have been preserved" etc. All this is
true and 1t is matter OF regret to the
student of history of our beloved state
that so many towns, rivers and land
marks bear names of dukes and lords of
the parent country, instead of the beauti-
ful names the aborigines have given them
long before "the smoke of the white mans
cabin rose among the trees" The article
says: "Seven counties in Pennsylvania
bear Indian names-Delaware, Indiana,
Lycoming, Tiogs, Susquehanns, Venango
and Wyoming" This is true of all except
the first named, for Delaware is not, and
never was, an Indian name, but was
named from Lord Delaware, who, by the
way, gave the name to the river, and the
tribe OF Indians that inhabited its banks:
but that tribe ignored the name and
called themselves "Leni Lenapes," mean
ing "the father of nations" Further
proof of this is that both Schoolcrsft and
Catlin, the greatest authorities on the
North American Indisns, both say that
the letter "R" is unknown in any Indian
vernaculsr or tongue and that any name
that carries that letter is corruption by
the whites and illustrates it by such
names as Niagara, Delaware, Arkansas,
ETC., which are all pronounced alterations
of Indian names, while Delaware is en-
tirely Fictitious. Yes, it is true that there
are seven counties bearing indian names.
From the above list we will expunge Del
aware and substitute Juniats, "the blue
Juniata," which figures in our early his
tory and in song.
l likewise file exceptions to the state
ment that but four county seats bear In
dian names, namely, "Rittanning, Tunk-
hammock, Towanda aud Indiana" How
about Tionests? 1t is strange that this
should have been overlooked, but this is
a pure Indian name of which its citizens
are proud"

THE election held on the 10Th inst will
probably be the last "spring'' election
that will be held in Pennsylvania. An
amendment to the State Constitution to
abolish the election of municipal officers
in the winter is about TO be approved for
the second time in the Legislature now in
session and it will go before the people
next November. As there is practically
no opposition to the amendment, it will
undoubtedly be endorsed by large ma
jority of voters and it will end the
"spring" election. Henceforth there will
be but one election each year, on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in No.
vember. National, state, and county off,
GERS will be elected in the even numbered
years and city, borough and township
officers in the odd numbered ears. Abo-
lition of the February election will also
abolish the January primaries and the
winter registration of voters.

Ir is pleasure to note the rapid change
to protection and high tariff ideas OF
many hitherto free trade advocates in
these latter days. A petition to Congress
protesting against the removal of the tariff
on oil circulated in this borough last
week received many signatures, among
which we're those of men who have all
their lives advocated free trade of the
rankest sort. 1t makes heap of differ
ence whose OK is gored after all. But
what does principle amount to anyway
when it's your own hide that's liable to
be hung on the fence? Amusing isn't it,
to see one of these old dyed-in-wool fell
lows run for cover when there's storm
brewing?

SPECULATION as to the makeup OF
President-eect Taft's cabinet is growing
less interesting as the date for his inau-
guration draws nearer, for it is pretty
well established fact that all the appoint

secretary of the treasury, have been de-
cided upon and will be as follows:
Secretary of fState-Philander c. Knox,
of Pennsylvania.
Attorney General-George w. Wicker

Secretary of War;. NJ. Dickinson, OF
Tennessee.
Secretary of the Navy-George Won l..

THE presence ofa cat, to those who care
for him, is tranquilizing and mental re-
storative. A cat asleep in the most COM
Portable chair in the room or browsing on
the window seat suggests reposefulness
as almost nothing else can do. A cats
purr spells profound contentment, and is
the synonym of perfect peace. No other
domestic animal has such a soft fur to
stroke. If it is weakness in a human
to care for a cat, the cat lover errs in the
excellent company of the good and great
of all ages. s.-Phladelphis Ledger.

MEMBERS of the Grand Army of the
Republic of the Department of Pennsyl-
yania and old soldiers who are not men,
bers of the organization are dying at a
rate that has not been anticipated, Re-
ports which are being compiled by the
assistant adjutant general of the Grand
Army tell the story forcibly of the pass
ing away of the men who followed Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan during the four
years of strife. For the six months end
ing June 80, 1908, there were 544 deaths
OF members of the Grand Army and the
adiutant general says the six months end
ing Dec. 3d., 1908, show greater mortal
ity of an average OF more than three
deaths day from the ranks of the or
ganiZation.

IT is amusing TO read the anonymous
communication in the city papers, with
reference to the "distrust in regard to the
lock system" at Panama. A blind man
could see the "letters" are ready.m
and ofa "stock" order, like the poster
paper used by transforming theatrical
aggregations. Strong railroad interests
have opposed the construction of the
canal from the outset, and still oppose it,
the opposition taking the form of argu.
ment against the lock system, which the
engineers consider the only practics one.

ONE of our exchanges very aptly re-
marks: The first question a man asks
when he sees a girl flirting is whether
she is respectable or not; it raises doubt
at once. This being the case no modest
girl can afford to indulge in the psstime.
When the down is brushed from a peach
its beauty is so marred that it can mover
be restored, and when young girl throws
lightly aside that sweet and modest re-
serve so becoming to maiden and which
so elevates her and enables her to CON-
maud the respect of all. she loses the
great charm and becomes rather cheap
and common, to use no rash terms.
Flirting may seem 10 the giddy and
thoughtless girl wonderfully amusing
and she may get the idea that she is fas-
cinating but it is a most degrading thing
and should be frowned upon by every
young lady who has an ambition to be-
come worthy and charming young
woman,
