Congress Aids Earthquake Suf-
ferers - Appropriation for a
Building in Paris.

The National Senate and House
of Representatives met Monday
after the Christmas recess. After
having been in session a little over
an hour the House of Represent
atives adjourned out of respect
to the memory of Representative
Davey, of Louisiana, who died
during the recess. Numerous
messages from the President on
various subjects were read, the
most important being a message
commencing aid for the Italian
earthquake sufferers and a mes
sage responding to a resolution
asking for information as to
what the President meant in his
annual message regarding the
secret service. The relief asked
for the stricken Italian people was
quickly and unanimously given,
the sum of $500, 900 being appro-
priated.
With practically no opposition
the Senate passed the House bill
appropriating 100000 to aid the
Italian earthquake sufferers.
The sum of $500, 900 was ap-
propriatedH by a Senate bill for
the purchase of a building in
Paris as the home of the Ameri-
can ambassador.

Oil Proves a Nuisance.
New Material on Roads is Tracked Into
Homes.

Although satisfaction has been
expressed by contractors and others
interested in the experiment of in
Producing oil into macadamized
roads for the prevention of dust,
there is a decided differen e of
opinion throughout Overbrook,
near Philadelphia where the inno-
vation has been in progress all
during the summer. In fact,
number OF residents of that fashion
able suburb are considering getting
up a petition to discover why
nuisance which has accompanied
the advance of the work, and from
which many of them have greatly
suffered, cannot be abated.
Practically all of the roads of
Overbrook-the majority of them
originally macadamized-are being
reconstructed, and while it is not
denied that the oil has done away
with the old dust problem, it would
appear that conditions which have
kept pace with the advance of the
work, fully justify the universal
indignation that has been aroused.
There are several stages in the
laying of the new roads, but it is
only while the steam rollers are at
work upon them that they are kept
closed to traffic. Three layers of
different materials are being placed
to make up the new macadam, the
experimental oils being spread on
thick between. The latter is tech
nically known as larvae, and while
it is claimed not to be tar or pitch,
it has all the properties and odor of
the latter and that it is most de-
structive and disagreeable in its
effects will be vouched for by the
residents along the lines of the new
experiment whose homes, clothes
and furniture have suffered to no
small extent.
The most Objectionable feature
of the nuisance which has
caused the discussion seems to be
that after the oil is squirted from
heated barrels upon the successive
layers of macadam it practically
remains in its liqui! state, which
condition is made more acute by a
hot sun; and the stuff is carried,
sticking upon shoes, into the
houses in the vicinity.

A Terrible Crime.

One of the worst crimes in the
criminal annals of Northumberland
county occurred in the woods sew
eral miles from Mt. Carmel, on
Thursday afternoon, and the full
details are too shocking to be plac-
ed in print. William Becker, aged
twenty-eight years, young man
residing at Mt. Carmel, and who is
regarded as one of the most honor
able and upright Christian young
men Of the town, left that place on
Thursday morning on a trip
through the woods over the noun
tain to secure some wild grapes.
About two O'Clock in the afternoon
while returning, when he reached
Midvalley he was held up for the
purpose of robbery by two unknown
Italians. Becker did not show any
resistance and the two foreigners
searched his pockets for money.
After completing their search
through his clothing and failing to
find any money, cursing and swear
ing at him they brutally knocked
him down and taking a knife they
cut him and mutilated him in such
a terrible manner that his intestines
protruded from the wounds made
and after committing the awful
deed they ran away and made their
escape. Suffering untold agony the
young man retained his presence of
mind, and incredible as it may seem,
took piece of rope and by tying it
as tightly as he could around his
body succeeded in stopping the flow
of blood and then walked the entire
distance to his home at Mt. Carmel,
and told the story of his brutal as
sault. Physicians were Immediately
summoned to care for him and an
examination disclosed most appall-
ing injuries. He is in an extreme
ly critical condition and Is unable
to give description of his assail-
ants.

not run short except when we went
astray.
During the expedition we ate
all kinds of meat. l like musk OK
best, but we would eat bear or fox
if the other was not obtainable.
Everything tastes good when one
is starving. We brought ten dogs
back with us, the others having
been eaten by their companions.
We used the lasso, traps and bows
and arrows to catch game. 1t took
two months to learn how to trap a
moose. One Of the men shot an
elder duck with arrows.
"On the return trip Our provis-
ions became entirely exhausted.
No animal life was visible, and for
three days we had nothing to eat.
Then in a crevice of the ice we
caught sight of several walruses.
81 had only few cartridges left.
l crept along the ice on my stom.
ach, approaching the animals slow
ly, so as not to scare them. | ex-
pended all my cartridges, and as
result secured two of the walruses.
Our lives were saved.
1--WE then broke up Our only
sledge aud made bows and arrows
of the wood, as do the Eskimos,
and secured game with these arms.
Again near Cape York we were
virtually on the point of starvation
when we found a young seal Sleep
ing on the ice. At Cape York we
found traces of musk oxen, which
we tracked and killed. "
Concerning the ice around the
Pole, so far as l could see, it was
slightly more active there than at
one or two degrees south. 1t drift
ed somewhat more to the south aud
east. Its general character is not
very different from that at other
places We stayed around the Pole
for two days, making many obser-
vations.
Il do not claim to have put my
finger on the exact spot; | do not
claim to have put my foot on it,
but personally, l think we have
been at the spot. When the obser-
vations have been figured out again
it is possible that there will be
found slight errors and differences,
but l am certain that gunshot
fired from where we were would
have passed over the Pole.
1--WE planted the Stars and Stripes
at what we believed to be the Pole,
but did not leave the flag with a
staff. Instead, placed small silk
flag in a cylinder with my card and
the record of the journey with the
date.
1.-The drift ice may carry the flag
away, but to me that is matter o.
indifference. / should have beer

I discovered two hitherto unknown
islands.

CAUSED BY LACK OF THOUGHT.
Cruelty Most Frequently Inflicted In
 CareIessness.

Most of the cruelty of the world is thoughtless cruelty. Very few people would Intentionally add to anothers load or make his burden in life heavier or his path rougher. Most of the great heart-wounds are inflicted in a moment of anger, when, perhaps, we were too proud to apologize or to try to heal the grievous wounds we had made. Can anything be more cruel than to discourage a soul who is struggling to do the best he can, to throw stumbling blocks in the path of those who are trying to get on in the world against great odds? No life is just the same after you have once touched it. Will you leave ray of hope or one of despair flash of light or somber cloud across some dark life each day? Will you by thoughtless cruelty deepen the shadow which hangs over the life, or will you by kindness dispel it altogether2 No matter how you feel or what is dis turbing your peace of mind, never al low yourself to send out a discourag- ing, cruel, or an unkind word or thought.-Success Magazine.

This Man a Philosopher.

According to the confession of enc of the Tennessee night riders, Captain Quentin Rsnkin. after be- ing swung up, was let down and given five minutes to pray. Stand ing on the brink of the grave, look ing across the dark river to fairer worlds beyond. he told his execu- tors that he had been a praying man for thirty years and did not need to pray then, but as they in- sisted upon granting him the time lie would use it to pray for them i hen he knelt down and invoked divine blessing upon the men who va ting at the ropes end to crush out his life. Here indeed was a successful man, a philosopher wiser than the sages who have written so learnedly of life and its , roblems. We are prone to lionize he man who masters statecraft CT builds a big fortune. but after ail. the wise man, the successful man. is the man who so lives that when life's evening sun is going down, he can say. I have made all preparation and do not need to pray now The peace and as surance of the final hour is more to Ls desired than the gold of the ,aiser or the triumphs of genius Dallas News.

DOG sPEcTAcLEs THE LATEST.
English Aristocrat May Have Started
 New Fad.


 dog in spectacles is the latest fad. It has not reached New York yet, but Lady Aylesford has been seen in Piccadilly with one of her famous breed of chows in tow, wearing pair of gold-rimmed spectacles. Her friends smiled, and she explained that the poor doggie's eyesight had become so defective that she had taken him to an oculist who fitted him with glasses.
 Dogs in New York have been taken to dentists and their teeth have been filled with gold; they have had their nails manicured by experts, the hair of poodles, spaniels and Scotch ter riers have been dressed and curled by "tonsorial artists" some delicate dogs, such as Italian greyhounds, have been dressed in sealskin coats; other pampered pets have worn gold brace. lets and diamond collars, but spec, tacles seem new.
 The next step will probably be for some one to fit British bulldog with a solitaire eyeglass and cigarette.
