TIE Chester lanterns fling at the
salaries of York county officials will
have to be accepted as a true bill.
With the exception of the clerk OF
the court, there is not a county
official who gets pay anything
like commensurate with the SER
vice performed. The compensation
allowed the probate judge, one of the
most important officials of the county,
is only about 5000 a year, which Is lit
tie short of a shame, Notwithstanding
the fact that the county has for many
years been able to fill this office WIN
men Of the best character and ability,
at such beggarly pay. The office OF
superintendent of education, Is also
poorly paid, and if men looked at the
salary alone the supervision OF our
public educational affairs would be lett
to very Indifferent ability. 1t is a fact
that York county has long been back
ward in paying her public servants liV-
ing salaries, and the situation should
be remedied. It.is true that good men
NAV often be found, who will work for
half pay; but it is no credit to a coun-
" like York, to allow anything OF the
kind, and neither is there any economy
in such a policy.

THE Anderson County Democratic
Executive committee has adopted a
resolution taking the matter of NOM
mating magistrates out of the primary
and by way of explanation of this ac
ton, the Anderson Daily Mail says il
was because Of the fact that these
elections create more neighbOrhoOd
strife than any other feature of the
primaries. 1t also gives another suf-
ficient reason in the established prin-
ciple in this state of removing judicial
officers as far as possible from popu-
lar elections. Both these reasons are
good, and it would be better if the
change were adopted throughout the
state The magisterial primaries make
lots of hot politics, make proper selec-
tions very difficult, and make it Still
more difficult for the successful nom
inees to discharge their duties in 4
proper manner.

Chas. K. Hamilton Makes Round Trip
From New York to Philadelphia.

New York, June 13.-Charles *
Hamilton arose from Governors Is
land in an aeroplane this morning and
sped without q break SO miles to Phil
adelphia in a successful croSS-coun-
try flight under the auspices OF the
New York Times and the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. He made the trip In
one hour and 81 minutes, leaving
Governors Island at 1876 and landing
at Philadelphia at 9.36.
Alighting at the aviation field, ne
delivered letters from Gov. Hughes
and Mayor Gaynor to Gov. Stuart and
Mayor Reyburn, accepted messages OF
congratulation from them to bear In
return and started for New YORK
again, with only brief ntermission fo1
food, fuel and oil. He had flown ap-
proXimately 20 miles of his return
| Journey when sluggish motor drove
him to descend in a swamp near South
Amboy, y. j., at 1855 p. m. The pro-
peller was broken there in landing. but
after repairs had been made Hamilton
resumed his flight at go and landed
at Governors Island at 6.39. Thus the
return trip was made in one hour ano
| 36 minutes at an estimated speed OF
5496 miles an hour. which breaks the
record made in the Curtiss flight from
ALBANY to New York.
That Hamilton did not make the re-
turn trip as easily as the outgoing
trip was due only to haste. He neg
lected to clean his spark plugs they
fouled, the engine balked, and he had
TO come down on the banks of the
Raritan river, two miles above South
| Amboy.
| CurtisS still holds the official record
for speed, but Hamilton today took al
American records for croSS-countrS
distance and duration. and, using his
own figures for the return, his average
speed is new figure. The broker
propeller was the second mishap of the
kind during the day. but he secured ;
new propeller and with a new set OF
spark plugs the aviator was able tC
finish within II hours. although -

minutes from his time card and came

DR.. Sambon, an Italian savant, is
authority for the statement that corn
is not responsible for pellagra, as has
been supposed ever since the disease
first attracted the attention of the
medical profession of Europe and the
United States. DR.. Sambon says that
pellagra is the product of a larvae
that is found in swiftly running
streams. The technical name of the

statement that the disease Of pellagra
cannot be due to diseased corn as the
malady is found in places where corn
is never eaten in any form.

MANY of the Democratic congress-
men consider that the postal savings
bank law is the old United States bank
proposition over again-the same that
was squelched by the iron hand of
Andrew Jackson-and the effect of the
law will be to facilitate the concentra-
tion of the currency of the country in
the money centers. Some of the con-
gressmen hope that the postal savings
banks will not be patronized; but in
this hope, we fear, they are likely to be
disappointed.

ELEVATOR BALKS,,
THIRTEEN ABOARD
CITY OFFICIALS PROVE A JONAH
To CITY HALL
LIFT.

For the FIRST time since It's install
alton. the electric elevator at the
city hall baked exactly at 1885
o'clock last night with a car load
numbering 10, including council
men, aldermen, city officials and re-
porters.
After the operator, Mr.. Frank
Dunn had taken on the unlucky
number, he closed the first floor
cage and turned on the power. The
elevator started, but as II assembled
is checked, and Mr.. Dunn seeing the
danger put on the safety clutch,
ami brought the lift to a standstill,
just few feet from the second floor
landing. As luck would have Il,
there was a little over a foots space
between the floor of the car and the
top of the cagng, allowing Mr.. Dunn
to climb down. Some of the city
law makers we're frightened and had
to be pulled through to the first
floor, while most of them waited for
Mr.. Dunn to replace the burned
fuse. the eausc of the whole trouble.
Then the elevator assembled to the
third floor.
