Bergen got the job. The first bunch
OF 500 strike breakers arrived on a
Sunday, with jack Cohn as their
leader. The men out as usual were
peaceful, but the Philadelphia police
got busy. Who does not know the
blue coats of Philadelphia, they being
merely selected by the ward leader,
after passing a so-calied civil service
examination. Being selected, not for
their good moral character, but for
their ability in turning and controll-
ing votes. They must be just like
their political master. as the reputa-
ton of the Philadelphia politician is
the worst in the country, SO the po-
liceman, a set more ignorant is hard
to find, New York excepted. If there
is no trouble, they must create
trouble. Mayor Reyburn in ,conjunc-
ton with the director of public safety,
issued strict orders that the saloons
should close at 6 p. M, no congrega-
ton or open air meetings shall be
tolerated, and the police were in
structed to use the club freely if any
one would even call the strike break
ers 'tscabs" or injure the company s
property. Now the innocent citizen
would think that while it is not only
right for ~the- mayor to protect the
company's property, yet he went too
far in prohibiting gatherings or open
air meetings, but there is a meaning
for all these. Mr.. Reyburn has GER

SO why not use the police for the
protection of his property, also the
city gets a certain percentage of the
net earnings. On Arch street the first

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The Poor House of the Forest City
Poor District Burned.

The house on the farm of the For
est City Poor district, was totally de-
stroyed by fire on Saturday, the 22d.
The cause of the fire cannot be posi-
lively stated. When discovered by
Clarence Fives, the farmer in charge,
it was in the upper part of the story
and a half addition on the rear of
the house. The blaze originated
about nine o'clock. Mr. Fives was
doing chores in the barn at the
time, his wife was busy with her
housework in the front of the house,
and James Doolittle, who was the
only other inmate of the place, was
chopping wood in the addition but
on the first floor. With the assist
ance of the neighbors, Mr.. Fives sue
ceeded in saving a small amount of
personal effects. Two hours after
the fire was first seen only the foun-
dation walls and some iron debris
remained.
Fortunately the wind was blowing
away from the barn and other out
buildings which were undamaged.
The farm was purchased by the
poor district about eight years ago
from Pickering brothers. The main
part of the house was 3Sx2S, of one
and one-half stories, and there was
an addition, part one story and part
story and a half, 22X40 in size. The
poor district had installed a new
furnace, and otherwise improved the
structure. The poor district had ST.
600 insurance on the house and S400
on the personal property. Mr.. Fives
had $500 insurance on his property
Mr.. Fives and his family are for the
present staying at the home of Ira
Curtis, and the poor directors brought

virgin land that could be had Writ
ually without money and without
price"
Continuing, he said:
THE war made heavy drain on
the older soil of the East, which was
called upon to produce as never be-
fore, and the good and careful meth
DDS of husbandry of more than half
a century gave way to a ruinous
system of soil depletion by heavy
cropping, without regard to conserv-
ing the fertility of the soil, which
soon began to decline in yield; and
young man. finding that with lower
prices following the war, the former
profits in farming were largely re-
duced, began to leave the old farms
of the East, some seeking the cheap
fertile land of the new West, while
others gave up farming and sought
occupation in other industries.
LAS an inducement to railroad
building through this vast territory
of rich Western soil, millions of
acres of public land were given to
corporations, which, in order to
make returns upon their large in
vestments in building roads, sent
agents around the world and made
known the wonderful possibilities of
this vast empire of virgin soil, I'm
migration was thus stimulated, and
millions from every civilized country
began to pour into our country and
to produce great crops from cheap
land, against which Eastern farmers
had to compete with their houses and
homes and improvements of half a
century. with schools and churches
to maintain and taxes for public inn
provements to meet, and then and
there was where a heavy blow was
dealt against the best farming and the
best type of life this country has
ever known.
From that time the old agricul-
tural spirit of the East declined. the
land was neglected, was abandoned
by the thousand acres, and produc-
tioh in many lines ceased"
With the agriculture of the East
crippled, said Mr.. Powell, most de-
structive methods were inaugurated
on the new productive soil of the
West in the taking of crop after crop
of one kind, as of wheat, from the
same land for years in succession,
without regard to the wise rotation.
The straw was burned to get rid of
it, while the manure was used for
road making or dumped into some
ravine. 1t was little wonder that
the ignorant and discouraged farm
ers caught at Mr.. Bryan's silver fall
acy. he said. when they saw an op-
portunity that gave promise of pay
ing their debts in silver and thereby
discounting them so per cent. If
the proposed Investigations into the
high cost of living are made suffi-
ciently searching, says Mr.. Powell,
revelations of this character will be
uncovered having an important bear
ing on the present scarcity and high
cost of foods.

Company has built catacombs of its
own beneath that part of Manhattan
that make the tunnels beneath the
Eternal City look like man-holes.
Pople looking from the roofs of
buildings facing Thirty-first and
thirty-third streets down into the de-
pressed depot yard see the track lay
ing which has reached the point
where the electric apparatus is being
installed and imagine that that floor,
sixty feet below the surface of the
street, is the bottom of the system.
But IL isn't.
Down below that is network of
service tunnels that wind in ever di-
rection and in which stranger
would be almost as helpless as If
lost in the catacombs at Rome. Cut
deep in the bedrock of the island
some of these tunnels cross and criss-
cross the depot yard and wind under
the big station itself, carrying gas
pipes, electric wires of high voltage,
compressed air pipes and steam pipes.
In the big service building across
Thirty-first street there are giant
air compressors that press 4,400
cubic feet of air per minute-with
force enough, if wrongly applied, to
shatter the biggest building in New
York.
There are some interesting facts
about the new station. The weight
of the steel i'm the station building is
$500 tons. The weight on one of
the six hundred and fifty granite
columns that surround and support
the station is 1888 tons. The area
of the station yard (Tenth avenue to
the normal tunnel section east of
Seventh avenue) is 2S acres. The
number of lineal feet of streets and
avenues carried on bridging is 4,4O0
or an area of about eight acres.
The steel supporting beams are
massive and suggest that they ought
to last for centuries. The cross
beams are fifteen inches or there
about wide, and close together with
layer of cement concrete showing
between. The weight of this street
bridging steel is 24,000 tons. The
loading per square foot on the ave-
nue. bridging is l q tons. The maxi
mum loading per square foot on the
bridging east of Seventh avenue is
five tons. There were required 16O,-
600 cubic yards of concrete for re-
tanning walls, foundations, street
buildings and substructures Figures
given out last week show that the
capacity of all the tunnels will he Id

FROM THE BED OF THE TIBER.
The New Pennsylvania Terminal
Station in New York Very Beautiful.

One of the most beautiful things
about the magnificent waiting room
of the new Pennsylvania Terminal
Station in New York is the stone fac
ing, which was imported from Italy
and taken from the bed of the river
Tiber. This stone, carefully dressed,
has been used a good deal in the
ceilings and upper walls. The wait
ing room, which is 277 feet long and
l03 feet wide, is deeply impressive
as one enters it from Seventh avenue.
A large man feels very small be-
cause of the tremendous dimensions
of the room. This room is faced by
the big concourse and on either side
of il are smaller waiting rooms, one
for men and one for women, with
dining rooms, comfort and other
rooms.
Passing from the waiting room out
into the concourse, where one finds
the train signs and the stairways
leading down to the trains, creates
the feeling of going outdoors because
of its great height, and the fact that
its Who'll eupper part is made of plate
glass that takes on the varying shades
and tints of the clouds and sky above
it. When the sky is of a deep blue,
so is the roof of the waiting room.
When the clouds are pearly gray, so
are the glass sections of the roof
of the concourse.

first newspaperman to enter the ter

Orders executed by post" is q
common enough phrase nowadays,
but "orders by pigeon post" is some
thing new.
The pigeon post" has been re-
emily instituted by Don Harris. son
of butcher at Herne Bay, who reg
ularly employs homer pigeons to
carry orders from outlying districts
to his fathers shop.
Mr.. Harris, Jr.. when he goes to
collect orders takes six of his fast
est birds in the trap with him. After
he has gone a couple of miles and
collected dozen orders he librates
a pigeon with the orders enclosed
in little metal case attached to the
birds foot. Before five minutes
have elapsed these orders are in
the delivery trap on the way to the
customers.
At various stages of his round
(which usually takes three hours)
Mr.. Harris liberates the other birds
with more orders, and by the time
he returns to the shop all the orders
received by pigeon post have been
despatched

LIME AS A MARKER
IN SPRAY LIQUIDS

The advantage of lime as marker
in spraying material was brought out
in letter received at the Division of
Zoology of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture from Ph!ladel-
phia woman, who has a summer home
along the Delaware river. She had
the fruit trees on the premises spray
ed a few days before Christmas with
a certain brand of commercial lime
sulphur solution and was surprised
to find two or three days later that
the trees showed no signs of having
been sprayed. Afterwards in making
trip in New Jersey she saw trees
that were coated with a white ma
terial. Therefore, she wrote for an
explanation to Prof. II. A. Surface,
State Zoologist, who replied as fol-
lows:
The leaving of no stain is COM
mon result of spraying with one of
the clear or red liquids of the COM
mercial or concentrated preparations.
The material will kill the scale if
used strong enough, even though it
did not make a precipitation or mark
upon the trees. The advantage of
such a mark, however is that the
same lets you see whether any spots
were missed or not | count this
very important, and for this reason
| recommend adding anywhere from
five to ten pounds of lime to each
fifty-gallon barrel of the diluted COM
mercial liquid.
The lime should be slaked in wa
ter to a creamy consistency and then
strained through a good strainer in
to the spray liquid. 1t will then
make a white mark on the trees,
such as you have seen. No doubt
the spraying where the trees ap-
peared to be covered as with white
wash was done with the home-boiled
lime-sulphur wash. This has an eX-
cess of lime and sediment. and is
of value in acting marker for
covering the bark. Where the trees
are sprayed by others, when you can
not be present to see the work done,
it is very important that this mark
ing substance be used, so that you
can be sure that it was done thor
oughly. Lack of thoroughness of
application is the chief factor that
has been against entirely successful
results in spraying, especially in us
ing the lime-sulphur wash, which is
the best preparation that can be used
in this State for scale insects"

GRANGE.
BE CHARY OF
NEW SPRAYING MATERIALS

Professor H. A. Surface, State
Zoologist, Harrisburg, will not rec
ommend new spraying materials,
without having first tested them and
ascertained their value. A Lancas-
ter county man recently asked for
information concerning a new pre-
paration, which the manufactures in
his circular, claims is equal to the
boiled lime sulphur solution.
The Professor replied: This pre-
paration may be a good commercial,
concentrated boiled Lime-sulphur
Solution, and it may be not. 1t is
one of the new materials on the mar
ket that is yet too recent to be es-
tablished on it's tests and merits. !
have not yet had time to try it, nor
to examine it, although | have Just
written for some which l expect to
receive and examine soon. 1 must
inform you that since we do not
know that this article is equal to the
home-boiled Lime-sulphur Solution,
it would be much better for you to
stick to that which is tested and
tried and known to be reliable, until
the other material is proved likewise
to be satisfactory.
Concerning certain insecticide
of which you wrote, | certainly would
not recommend it, especially on
peach or plum trees. 1t may do all

OUR FORMER CONGRESSMAN
HONORED.

A piece of good fortune recently
came to George A. Post of New York
formerly Congressman from this dis
trict, in an unexpected way. He is
President of the Railway Supply AS
sociation, which includes the manu-
facturers of all kinds of railroad
equipment. AS President of the as
sociation, Mr.. Post was active and
did much to promote the welfare of
the members and recognizing this,
they asked him to name such a fig
ure as he thought his salary ought
to be. His reply was that he was
already in the employ of manu-
featuring company as its President,
and drew a salary and was not at
liberty to accept a salary for other
services.
Then the matter was dropped APP
parently, but later the members, to
show their appreciation of his serv-
ices, presented him with a diamond
ring valued at $1,000 and presented
to Mrs. Post 1000.

Post Office Pens,

Mustard manufacturers grow rich,
we are told, not by the quantity Of
mustard consumed, but by that
which is wasted and left on the din
ers' plates. The saying is recalled
by an interesting statement made by
the Postmaster-General as to the
number of pens supplied for use by
the public in the post offices of the
country. 1t seems that last year the
total was 1,250,000.

times happens, that the electors in a
given district may be elected by the
