Pennsylvania After Trespassers.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is
endeavoring to educate not only
the public, but also the local au-
thorities of the municipalities along
their lines to the Importance Of
trying to break up the practice of
children and all classes of people
who seem to persist at such great
risk in trespassing about the rail.
roads, both walking OH the tracks,
and jumping on the trains.
The station agents have been
specially requested by the railroad
officials to get in consultation with
the local people and endeavor to
get tie public to assist in breaking
up the trespass practice that is so
generally INDUCED in to the annoy
ance and cost Of the railroads and
at the loss of life and limb to the
public.
Trespassing OH railroad property,
in violation of law, has been re.
sponsible for the deaths of 47,4I6
people in the United States in the
last ten years. In same period more
than $4,000 trespassers were in
jured. 1t is in view of these facts
that many of the important rail-
roads have determined to redouble
their efforts to secure in this coun-
try that rigid enforcement of the
law against trespassing, which, in
England, has reduced the practice
and accidents to trespassers-to a
minimum.

Another political ornament is to
lie added to the staff of the United
States Court of the Middle District
of Pennsylvania by the appoint
ment of Representative Andrew B.
Dunsmore, Of Tioga county, as as
sistant to District Attorney Charles
B. Wilmer. This makes three
official jobs around the court to be
filled by favor of the Republican
gang bosses i'll reward for unsavory
political acts. Wilmer the district

OF the present Justices of our
Supreme Court, two reside i'll Phil
adelphia, Chief Justice Mitchell
and Justice Fell; one in Lancaster,
Justice Brown; one in Franklin,
Justice Stewart, one in Fayette,
Justice Mestrezat; one in Pittsburg,
Justice Porter, and one in Indiana,
Justice John P. Elkin. A line
drawn from Pittsburg to Philadel-
phia will leave all of the members
of the Court, except Justice Elkin
of Indiana County, south Of the
line. Geographically this distribu-
ton of the members of the Court
leaves forty-eight of the counties of
the State north of the line and
practically unrepresented upon the
Supreme Bench. In these forty
eight counties without representa-
tion are the valleys of the Schuyl-
kill, Lehigh, Delaware, Susque-
hanna and Allegheny Rivers, all of
the Anthracite and much of the
Bituminous Coal Region, the Oil
Fields, Lumber Districts, and the
greater part of the farming country,
with thousands of manufacturing
plants. The ELECTION of Won Mosch-
zisker, Philadelphian, would but
emphasize the unfairness to the
unrepresented district of the pres
ent distribution of the members of
this Court Of last resort. A vote
for Cyrus LaRue Munson, of Ly-
coming County, will be a vote for
a JUST representation in the Su-
preme Court.

FLAMING T0KAY
PRIZES AWARDED

1t may be remembered that on
Wednesday, April IA, 1909, there
was a large gathering of school
children on Sixth and f streets and
each was presented with a Tokay
grape vine by w. b. Sherman. who
offered 32 prizes, 500 in all, to
those who succeeded in making the
best growth of vines during the sea-
son. There was one prize of s15.
two of $40, five of s., five of SO,
six of 81, and thirteen of 81. 1t was
intended as lesson in grape grow
ing and to demonstrate that the To-
kay grape vine will grow in any soil
in our locality and, as Mr.. Sherman
said, under almost any conditions
The contest has made good all that
was claimed for the Tokay grapes
adaptation to the soil and climate of
the Rogue River valley.
There were over seven thousand
OF these grape vines given out
and they were planted by many
with exceeding care, and some of
them, as will be seen, made a truly
wonderful growth. Mayor II. c. Kin
ney, of this city, George A. Hamil.
ton, of Fruitdale, and VIII Scoville
president and manager of the Rogue
River Fruit Exchange, were chosen
as a committee to examine the grape
vines of all those who made a claim
for the prize, and during the present
week these gentlemen have been on {
visit to all claimants, and on Wed
nesday made their report TO Mr.
Sherman, and below we give the en-
