From Far-Off Chile.

A letter Jast received from Julio
NJ. Foster of Chile announces the
death Of his daughter Eliza Jane
which occurred last July. She was
a very interesting character. She
became a nun some years ago, then
withdrew from the order and found.
ed sect on her own ideas. After
this was well established she was
allowed TO renounce her vows aad
after devoted her life to works of
Charity. Her sister has built a large
house in which poor women may
live free of rent until such times
as they may be able to support them
selves. Mr.. Foster last Spring suff-
cred a severe attack Of pneumonia
but has recovered and at 80 years is
in good physical health. His mind
is as clear and his letters bear ample
evidence Of his vigorous intellect,
while his penmanship shows no trace
of age. Few are granted the su.
preme privilege Of rounding out a
long and active life with such free
dom from bodily inhrmity and such
remarkable mental activity.

like toll roads, were obsolete ard
relics of old days, that must give
way to modern methods and ideas
and that with tho movement for
good roads and free and uninterrupt-
ed Intercourse between states must
be in time obolished and that he was
very favorable to the plau,' and l
quite agree with him.
II win be stated no doubt, as all
argument against me, that Free
Bridges will not help Greene, Pal
myra and Blooming Grove Town
ships, bpt neither will 1t do any
harm, and that argument used, espec
tally in those townships, and we
might say shat the Greene Township
State Road does not help the river
tlwns, nor the Blooming Grove Club
or the State Forest Reserves, yet
they DO no harrn. ard they all have
q tendency Indirectly TO be advan
tageous and what may help 0re sec
tion may not directly halp another,
yet we must not be selfish and Be
cause one section is benefited wish
10 denv them that benefit.
It is true this Free Bridge Move.
meut, If adopted, will NOT cost the
Inhabitants of Pike County one cent
in increased taxation, and why ?
There is no state tax levied on real
estate nor will there be one levied
therefore as money coming from the
state treasury is not raised by real
estate taxation, SO unless you are
paying a state tax on money you
have out at interest, or are a firm
partnership or corporation, you do
not add one cent TO the States Rev
enue and consequently in the state
buying these bridges you'd not in
crease your taxes one cent, therefore
If you can get something for nothing
would you not accept It?
Again there is a reason for my re-.
eleotion with this movement. The
last Legislature was 173 republicans
and "a democrats and in all proba-
bility Wayne, Monroe and North.
amptoD will reelect democratic mem
bers and such being the case what
chance would a bill have asking a re-
publican legislature to hand out q
possible half million dollars to g
democratic member?
Gentlemen, you all know the
game of politics as played in your
townships and in your school dis
tricts, but. in Harrisburg they play
the game.
Therefore submit gentlemen, tha
as republican representing for thi
county, l firmly believe l could OBJ
tain better results going to a republi
can legislature, than a democrat
could.
1t is human nature TO help frient
and we are all human.
Nov. sth, gentlemen, is just
weeks off, you are to decide. Whs
will you do about it?

Treatment of Infested
Orchards

There has been considerable in.
quiry at the Office of the Division of
Zoology, of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture, as to whether
any provision has been made by the
State for the treatment of orchards.
To one of these inquiries, Prof H.
A. Surface, State zoologist, replied
as follows:
"The State has made provision for
the inspection of orchards, and
have inspectors under my direction
now operating in thirty different
counties. There are no provisions
for the treatment of orchards by the
State 1t is supposed that the owner
will do this. However, legal provis-
ion has been made that if a person
should neglect hs trees until the
pests on them become a menace to
neighbors' property, anyone can take
steps toward having him compelled
20 give his trees treatment, by mott.
flying the Secretary of Agriculture OF
the condition of affairs, and request
ing that the trees be inspected, and
that the owner be made to treat
them. After this is once started in
this way, 1t is the duty of the Score
tary Of Agriculture to see that the
orchard is inspected the owner Ii
notified of the condition Of his trees,
and the pests that are upon them,
and also informed OF the proper
method of treatment. He is given
a certain time within which 20 treat
them by the method outlined by the
Inspector, and If this is not done by
this method in the proper manner
within specified time, they will b'
treated by the Department at his ex
peDse, or destroyed, according t
their. condition and valhs, and th,
judgment of the experts in ohsrg'
OF the work.

Water Tunnel Under N. Y.

Under New York City is a foun-
dation of solid rock. and engineers
are now planning 10 bore an inn
mense water tLnuel for eighteen
miles at a great depth through this
rock. 1t is an engineering feat
which wil! take rank with the great
est wonders of the metropolis. After
experiments for generations with
pipes of iron and cement and con-
duits Of cement, the engineers are
going back to the method used by
the Romans to convey a supply Of
pure, fresh water to their city. The
tunnels made by the Romans thru
the solid rock were IN use for seyeral
oenturi, 8 In g rece, and in older
civilizn tiOus IN Asia which orumbled
away long before Ron vas found" d,
great water tunnels were in use. The
New York project Will COST twenty
five million dollars, aud thousands Of
men will work upon it for the next
four years. The tunnel will be fif-
teen feet in diameter at the begin
ming, aud the water which il will
bring to the city will be distributed
by the present system Its capacity
will be five hundred million gallons
daily, which is about the present CON-
sumption Of the city. The depth Of
the tunnel under the East River and
the city itself will be from one hum
dIed to six hundred feet below the
surface, 10 order to follow the solid
rock.
