JARS ANCESTOR WORsHIPPERs.

Englishman Writes Book on Per-
sOnal Characters of Revolutionary
Heroes.
Boston, Feb. 16.-Many Bostonians
who take pride in their ancestory are
much annoyed over the publication
of book by James H. Stark, of
Dorchester, in which the reputation
Of some of the old patriots are Sc
verify criticised
The title of the volume Is Loyal
lists Of Massachusetts, and the Other
Side of the Revolution" The author
is an Englishmann, which makes the
matter worse in the eyes of the des-
cendants Of the Revolutionary heroes.
Mr.. Stark has been in this country
about nine years and is founder and
wee president of the Dorchester His
torical Society, vice president of the
Victorian Club, president Of the Brit
ish Charitable Society and is MEM
ber Of the New England Historical
Genealogical Society. Extracts from
his new book read thus:
Samuel Adams was a man of
broken fortunes, a ne'er-do- well in
his private business, a failure as a
tax collector the only public office he
had thus far undertaken to discharge.
Had the revolution failed, the dis
grace Of the men who threw the tea
overheard (Boston tea party) would
never have been removed and the
best that history could say Of them
would be that like the Attucks Mob
they were enthusiasts without rea-
SON.
I'm 1913 John Hancock was elect
ed treasurer of Harvard College. In
this they considered their patriotism
more than their prudence. The
amount Of college funds paid over to
him was upward of 15,40O pounds
and like his friend, Samuel Adams,
he too, proved to be a defaulter. For
twenty years the corporation begged
and entreated him to make restitu-
ton.
They threatened to prosecute him
and also to put his bond in suit as
Adams was. but it was all Of no avail.
He turned deaf ear to their en-
treaties, and it was only after his
death in 1898 that his heirs then
made restitution to the College,
when settlement was made in 1795
In which the College lost $526 in
terest.
John Adams joined the disunion-
lists because he saw that if the re-
volution was successful there would
be great opportunity for advance
ment"
He declares that Benjamin Frank
lin, at the venerable age OF CT, was
fired as postmaster Of Boston be-
cause he stole letters from the mail
and finally jars many people by
saying: "One-fourth Of the signers of
the Declaration OF Independence were
bred to trade or to the command of
ships and more than one Of them was
branded with the epithet 'smuggler.'

LETTER FROM A GLASS CUTTER.

Mr.. Editor
| desire to call the attention of
the readers of your paper to the
gross injustice done me by Herbeck-
Demer Co. in publishing their pay
roll, In the first place | did not
leave their employ but was laid off,
and was not working when the men
went out. They published me broad
cast as being a second-class man by
placing me in Glass No. 3, whereas
] have been considered by them and
every concern for whom / worked as
a first-class workman and capable
of doing any and all kinds of glass
cutting.
Third-They make a sworn afTi-
dayit that they paid me on March
18th the sum of S3264, whereas they
only paid me S31.14, and the same
was marked upon my pay envelope,
/ ask that you give this the same
publicity that you did the false re-
port of Herbeck-Demer & Co. re-
garding me.

STORY OF
THE PAYROLL

Mr.. Herbeck, of Herbeck-Demer
& Co. brought to this office n certi-
fed copy of a payroll and asked us
to publish it. He informed us that
he had called on the other news
papers and that they were willing to
publish same. Mr.. Haines informed
us he was going to print it and
wanted to know If we would let him
use our type. He requested us to
let him have the type as early as
possible on Monday so he could
print it on the first run of his paper.
About 10 o'clock his young man
came to our office, paid for the use
of the type, and stated, he was
waiting for it, so he could make up
and go to press. They kept the type
in their office from 10 o'clock Mon
day until 10 a. m. on Tuesday, at
which hour we commence to get
ready to print our paper. When
they returned the type they inform
ed us that the young man had been
told by Haines. to use it, but that he
had forgotten to do so, although the
same person had come to our office,
carried the type over and made up
the form. After we had printed the
article and Haines found that the
only part the men objected to was
the printing of the names, he came
to us, wanted the type and permis-
sion to mutilate the slugs by cut
ting off the names. We refused to
allow him to mutilate the type, and
returned him his money. The truth
in a nutshell is, that B. F. Haines
was afraid that if he printed this
article. he might lose a few sub
scribers, and further more he is no
doubt opposed to printing pay-rolls,
as the printing of his own roll would
show up the hollowness of his sin
cerity in the interest of labor. His
action in this matter is in keeping
with the whole tenor of his life.

A PosTMAsTER's REPORT.

When it was first arranged, nearly
so years ago, to have postmasters

SOCIALIST is ELECTED MAYOR.

Milwaukee, Wis, April 5.-Re-
turns of the city election here to-day
show that Milwaukee has elected the
first Socialist mayor of any Ameri-
can city.
Emil Seidel. heading the Social
Democrat ticket, defeated both the
Republican and Democratic candi-
dates for Mayor
Seidel is patternmaker who
works at his trade regularly. He
was elected by a plurality of near
ly 5000. This is the biggest plur-
ality ever given a candidate for
mayor of this city
The Socialists have also elected at
least six aldermen, with many of
their ticket running close, and in no
doubt.
Kleist, the Socialistic candidate
for Circuit Judge, led the two nom
partisan candidates in the city by
few hundred. but the suburbs are
so strongly anti-Socialistic that
Franz Eschweiter will be the choice.

Spencer, Who Killed Miss Blackstone,
Says He Has No Conscience.
Springfield, Mass, April 7.--Bertram
G. Spencer, the young man who was
arrested as the result of some very
clever detective work, in which a lock
ct bearing his initials furnished the
clew to his identity, has made a con
fession that he was the murderer OF
Miss Martha b. Blackstone and that
he was also the masked burglar who
has terrorized the women of Spring
field during the past two years.
Spencer declared to the police that
he was utterly devoid of conscience
and that he never felt the least com
junction in using a revolver to attain
his ends.
He says that he became a thiet
when a boy and held up and robbed
little girls as a beginning. He has
told of more than thirty burglaries
which, he committed. On one occa,
sion, he says, he hid under a woman's
bed until she had disrobed and, afteI
watching her conceal two diamond
rings, compelled her at the point of a
revolver to hand them over.

SO SAYS DAME RUMOR
The Beginning of Decentralization

viii Occupy the Old Outing Plant
at Deposit, NY.

WIN ONNup! tht OIu Ouilup Eldut
at Deposit, NY.
We have been informed that the
Kelly & Steinman Company have
purchased the Outing building at De-
post, n. Y, and will remove their
cutting establishment to that place.
Our informant tells us he got this in
formation from MIR. Kelly The Out
ing factory derives its name from the
Outing Magazine, one of the pet
schemes of Knapp Bros, who failed
so disastrously, and pulled down sew
eral banks and manufacturing con-
Germs with them. The outing factory
would make an ideal cutting shop; is
splendidly situated on the Erie Rail-
road, has a magnificent surrounding
country for help, and the people of
Deposit will not only welcome any
manufacturing establishment, but
would support them royalty, as the
failure of the Outing company has
taught the people of that town, that
the failure or removal of a factory
with a good-sized payroll is a calam-
ity.
We hope this rumor is not true,
and we trust no concern will leave
Honesdale. We need them all, and
a few new ones, and for that reason
we hope that men and employees will
get together and will arbitrate. There
is not much difference between them,
and a good level headed arbitrator,
whom both Darties know cOuld soon
formulate an agreement that would
make all hands happy and satisfied
Get together.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.

The state law requires that all
births be reported to the local Reg
istrar of the district in which birth
occurs. When no physician is pres
ent, the law requires that a regularly
licensed midwife or one of the par
ents or the householder report the
birth. The correct registration of its
birth is a valuable inheritance to
which every child is entitled and
which is within the power of every
parent to bestow. Still births should
be reported as both birth and death
The local Registrars named below
should be notified of all births with
out medical attendance which may
have occurred in their districts since
January l, 1906:

Another Letter.

We desire to correct some of the
sworn statements made by the Her.
beck-Demer Co. and published in
your paper by them. They misstate
facts when they say the cause of the
strike was due to the wages paid.
The strike was called because men
were discharged or laid off, (Which
is the same thing), when it became
known that they were members of
the Union. They claim in words,
that every man has a right to join
any organization, but by their ac-
tions they prove that if a man joins
the Union he cannot work for them
The claim of the Brooklyn and New
York concerns that they cannot COM
pete with Honesdale firms, is no
doubt true, for nowhere in this
country is glass cut as well and as
cheap as in Honesdale and it is due
to the fact that Honesdale workmen,
as a rule, are the best in this particu-
lar trade. When they state that they
never cut the price for cutting an
article when once it is made, it is
true, for the fact is they never es-
tablish a price until it is so low that
it will not stand a cut.

THE DAMAGE OF LIGHTNING.

Mr.. Hands has compiled a chart
showing the places known to have
been struck In the years 1Ss7-lsoS.
and on the chart he has had to mark
1898 different spots, and to chronicle
damage done to 21l cathedrais'
churches and chapels; $3.50 other
buildings OF various kinds; 226 ricks
and stacks, 1.251 trees, and 1913 other
objects: while 1914 persons have been
killed and 1,0l6 injured, and there
have been 1907 cases In which AMI
mails have been killed, these being
either single creatures or several
killed by one stroke. There have
been as many as 40 sheep struck dead
In a single flock. The monetary loss ID
estimated at $250,000 TO 100000 per
annum, but obviously the moral ana
intellectual" damages are the more
serious.
when q thunderstorm occurs a
stress is thrown on the air, either be-
tween two clouds or between cloud
and the earth, and when this stress
has reached a pressure OF about half
a gramme weight TO the square inch,
smash goes the air-it Is literally
cracked. The line OF the fracture ID
illuminated by the intense heat caus-
ed. rendering the air-particles In
candescent. and we see this and call
it lightning. This Is all lightning is;
there Is no bolt and no transference
of matter from one place to another.
To speak or write Of an object as be-
ing struck by lightning Is calculated
to produce a wrong impression. be-
cause II conveys the idea OF q pom
derable object giving blow. 1t 10
literally an incorrect term. but We are
forced to employ 1t because 1t has
been SO long In use."
A very interesting example or the
effect upon lightning OF the presence
OF points is the Temple OF Solomon.
Josephus tells us that the roof was
ornamented with points covered with
gold the points, probably, were in
tended to prevent birds from settling
and so soiling the roof. But the un-
intended effect was that the temple
was perfectly protected from light
ming, and In country In which thun-
derstorms are severe and frequent 1t
stood unchanged for a thousand
years. When the Roman Emperor
tried to rebuild 1t, leaving out the
points and the gold, 1t was struck"
