ORDERED MARRY
Young Man From South Brought
Girl to House Of III Fame
In Cairo.

Quite a dramatic scene was enact
ed at the court house late yesterday
atternoon-a marriage that was not
contemplated a soon as the groom
had anticipated, assuming he had any
intention at all in that direction.
A young man. about % years of
age, and young and fairly good
looking, unsophisticated country girl,
arrived in the city Thursday evening
from Corinth, Miss, and according to
the story of both the man asked the
direction to boarding house and
was given the number Of a house on
Thirteenth treet which they soon
found and put up for the night.
Before going there the man stopped
with the girl in Bodies barber shop
where he had a shave and the girl
had her shoes polished While there
oue of the BARRIERS learned from him
that they were going on the street"
and yesterday informed a lady who is
interested in doing good deeds. of the
circumstances, and he Immediately
began an investigation with the re.
suit that the girl was taken away
from the house and the man placed,
In charge Of a policeman,
The police department had also
been notified hy the keeper Of the
Iouse that the affair ought to be
looked into.
The couple were taken before
Judge Dewey at the court house
where it was pretty well proven to
his satisfaction that the man was try
ing to take advantage of the girl
The girl who is an orphan, and
alone in the world, stated that she
was trying to get work in factory
at Corinth and the young man be-
frianded hcr AMI had assisted her fir
nancially to a limited extent, and had
made her an offer of marriage but
that since her experience with him,
she began to believe that he was not
intending to marry her
Judge Dewey told the fellow that
he could take his choice OF marrying
the girl or being held for trying to-
entce her ruin. While he was talk
ing with the couple County Clerk
Miller was writing up a marriage
license, then marriage certifica'e
was filed out and the couple told TO
stand up. The man evidently wishing
to disappear aid he wanted to go to-
preacher where he could have the,
marriage performed, but he was told
that by telephone preacher could be
gotten in ten minutes. On this inf0r-
nation he gave UP aud the Judge
married the couple in few minutes,
witnessed by the lady who had look-
ed after the case and by tn attaches
OF the court house.

A writer in a current paper de-
clares that 200 persons a week are
being murdered in the country and
that crime is costing three and half
million dollars day while the police
stands practically helpless. He char
ges that the important and system
attic criminals are not molested and
that the police devote their time to
gathering in the drunks. Temper
ance reformers argue that if drunk.
enness were abolished the police
could pay some attention to protect
ing life and property and the article
seems to bear this ont. len thousand
persons are murdered in this coun-
try every year, more than the rail-
roads kill, and while we may lead
the globe in many things we assured
lg do in crime. OF murderers only
2 in hundred are punished and the
other 9S go free. In Germany 95
per cent of the homocides are brot
to justice, in Spain 85 per cent, in
France 81, in Italy "a, in England 80.
We have more homocides iu this
country than in eleven of the largest
European countries combined. Crime
is increasing here, there are four and
a half times as many murders TOR
every million of population to-day as
there were 20 years ago. The an
nual cost of crime, as figured in
property stolen and money spent on
police, courts, jails. etc., reaches
the enormous total of 81, 373, 900, 900.
The article charges that rs per cent
of the criminals arrested in the red
light district in New York for petty
crimes are freed by ward politicians.
II also condemns the third degree
system as brutal and not aiding the
cause of justice. The innocent, hope
less suspect is bullied and beaten and
the real criminal is undisturbed.
If true that drunkenness is the
cause of most crime liquor dealers
themselves are furnishing the very
best reasons why their business
should be abolished, and are hasten
ing the day of their undoing.

OBITUARY
MILTON ARMSTRONG

Milford list one Of her most re.
spected citizens last Monday when
Milton Armstrong passed away. He
was born in Wayne county, Sept 25,
1910 and was a son of George P.
and Nancy, Brown, Armstrong. His
early years were passed in the county
of his birth and when yet a yourg
man he came here and 81 gagged as
sawyer, later in the lumber business,
and for many years has been the
faithful Superintendent of the Mil
ford Water Company He was in
the best sense of the word a good cit
iZen and model man in the com.
munity. Upright and conscientious
he carefully attended to his own bust
ness and had no disposition to med.
die with the affairs of others, nor did
he indulge in carping criticism Of
tn If acts His word was a binding
Contract for the full performance of
a promise and he was regarded by
all with the highest respect. Exam
pies of lives like his are worthy of
emulation.
he leaves to survive him his widow
and one son William of New York.
The funeral was held yesterday and
the remains were placed in the vault
of Milford Cemetery.

The Assessment.

Courts OF appeal will begin to be
held by the Commissioners March 4,
as advertised. There is dissatisfac.
tion in some places with the Assess
ments as adjusted, but the PROPOSE
ton narrows itself to the naked CUES
tions as to whether property is as.
sessed beyond its cash value. Here
in this Borough there is a kind Of
graded valuation, regardless of the
fact that adjacent properties may
vary considerably in cash value be-
cause OF different conditions. After
I'LL there is but one way to make an
equitable assessment. though it may
cause much labor to do it, and that
IS to assess each property separately
at its cash value. Every property
owner would then pay his just pro-
portion Of tax, and taxation would
Be no more burdensome because
the rate of mills would be lessened.
II as is the present situation a man is
assessed with say $4,000 of real es-
tate how is it possible to determine
from that what is the actual value of
his holding. 1t cannot be known
whether it is rated at a third, half
or more or less of its supposed cash
value, and comparison with other
property in the immediate vicinity is
not an absolute test. If all real
property was rated at its actual val.
ne it could be scaled in the same pro-
portion. If advisable throughout the
county and this would make sn
quitable adjustment. 1t Is impossi-
bic to satisfy everybody but a rule
like the above would necessarily
Place all on the same basis. In do.
ing this the county must be consid-
cred as a whole and not as consisting
oi so many integral parts.

NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON

An important bill under consider.
alton in Congress relates to a federal
license for automobiles. 1t was sta
ted by representatives Of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, now in
session in commission. that there
are at the present time 10000 of
these vehicles in Washington; that
there are orders booked with the. va
rious manufacturing and sales COM
panies for 25O,OOO more. This
means that there will be zoo, GOO mo.
tor vehicles travelling throughout
the country and across state lines be-
fore the end of the year. The differ
ent states have different laws and
regulations with reference to auto
mobiles and the users Ufthe machines
who wish to go from one end of the
country to the other find it quite EN-.
barrassing to get new license at ev
cry crossing of state lines, to say
nothing Of knowing or remembering
the diverse laws and regulations rf
the different states with reference to
speed and other road conditions and
restrictions. A license from the gen
eral government with registration at
the Agricultural Department, or the
Department of Commerce and Labor
In Washington, will make it neces.
sary to have only one placard number
on the card, and as it will be seen.
IS license fee for every car will raise
a considerable sum; $500, 600 can
be devoted to building good roads.
1t is not probable Dow that the bill
will pass

A most delightful occasion was af.
forded a number of invited guests
last Saturday evening by Mr.. and

tertainment. Those who do not
have opportunity to hear the famous
singers of the day, and who cannot
attend concerts where selections from
the old masters are rendered we're
ushered into the presence of many
musical celebrities, and were enab
to enjoy hearing the voices and com
positions reproduced with marvellous
olearness. Caruso, Madame Schu-

fractions and the operas of William
Tell and other celebrated artists of
the past were introduced. These
were interspersed with a number of
selections, vocal and instrumental,
ranging from grave TO gay, comical
and humorous, The appreciative
audience was quickly transported
through the several sensations from
laughter TO seriousness by the admir-
able manner IN which the program
was arranged. All were charmed
by the taste displayed by the host
ard hostess and felt that the hours
&C er inynent wtre all too brief.

Top Pruning of Trees

An apple orchard that was start
ed about the year 1870, in ALE
gheny county, the trees in which
were practically allowed to grow
wild for the past twenty-five years,
is being pruned this winter, consid
erabte portions of the tops being
cut out. AS Professor Il. A. Sur.
face. State Zoologist, Harrisburg,
is acquainted with the orchard,
having visited it some time ago,
his opinion was recently asked as
to whether ii would be advisable
to continue this topping of the
limbs. His answer was to the fol-
lowing effect:
81 distinctly remember your ap
pie trees, and 1 believe that the
plan of pruning cut the tops, and
also cutting out the upper branches
to bring the heads down, is correct
l know where it has given good re
salts, and, consequently, ] believe
that tim general plan can te carried
out with success
al think, however, that in the
case Of your apple trees, which are
standing in a pastured grass field,
some plant food would be advisa.
Bile. They should have potash and
phosphorio acid, with little nitro
gen added The potash can be CIV
en- in the form of wood ashes or
kainit or muriate Of potash; the
phosphOric acid in the form Of dis.
solved phosphate rock, commonly
known as acid phosphate; or as
ground bone; and the nitrogen in
the form of dressing with stable
manure, or with cleanings from any
stables or poultry houses, or in the
form Of nitrate Of soda. or dried
blood, or tankage.
at is my opinion that the best
results come from the combined
use Of these four sources of nitro.
gen. For your trees. mulch
would be a good thing. This can
be in the form of strawy, stable
manure or rotting straw or leaves
with brush thrown over them, tr,
by waiting until midsummer, when
bushes and brush are in full leaf,
when these eau be- cut and thrown
around the trees as far as the
branches extend, or a little farther,
and this will make a very efficient
mulch.
"In our model orchard plan we
expect fully 70 outline the details
Of mulching and eultivating in ref.
erence to invigorating trees, so that
they can be better able to with
stand the effects of pests"
