TENER SPEAKS OF FUTURE.
Governor Tener's Speech to Terrapin
Club Much Praised.

Philadelphia, Dec. 22.-In an ad-
dress last night at the banquet of
the Terrapin club, Gov. John X.
Tener, the guest of honor, said in
part:
What of the future? We are on
the eve of a session of the legisla-
ture. For the first time in many
years there appears to be an acute
interest in the veto power of the
governor. Men have raised the ques-
tion as to whether or not 1t will be
employed as a weapon of offense or
defense. Some seem to think that
necessarily it will be used in the in
terest of a party-the Republican
party, If you please-or to further
ambitions of two or half a dozen
more or less prominent citizens.
Il dislike to use the first personal
pronoun, and, If it were possible to
avoid, the capital T. would do so,
but it is important for the members
Of the general assembly, and still
more important for the people over
the state, to understand that the 207
representatives in the house and the
fifty members of the senate were
elected by the people and that they
are responsible to the people only
1T is not necessary to be a prop
het nor yet the son of a prophet in
order to qualify one to say that no
man who has been denounced pub
licly by the president of the United
States as the worst boss ever known
in the history of Pennsylvania; a
man who has been pilloried in a
formal speech on the floor of the
Senate of the United States as a
corrupter of legislatures, municipal
councils and county officials for his
own enormous enrichment; no man
who has gone on the witness stand
before a committee of congress
| clothed with authority to inquire in
to campaign slush funds and has
testified to his own iniquity; that no
such creature can expect to domin-
ate, control and misuse the general
assembly of Pennsylvania.
The mere suggestion that a pre-
sumptuous double dealer, so AFRO
CANT in his attitude, should assume
to direct the whole course of legisla-
ton affecting a commonwealth i'm
perial in its resources and institu-
tions, is repellant and repugnant;
and it may as we'll be understood
now as to be developed later on that
as far as the present governor OF
Pennsylvania is concerned there viii
be no traffic with buccaneers"
Without any intention of being
narrowly partisan, or of introducing
| harsh controversy, it would seem tc
| be appropriate to say in this connec'
| ton that, much as we are given tc
admiration of a leader of conspicu
Gus ability and personal magnetism
no one individual should be per
mitted to disturb the whole nation
Ambition is a noble attribute only
81 1t is nobly directed, and it will mo-
do for any man to obtrude his in
dividualism and misuse his menta
! gifts in such a manner as to misleaC
the people into bypaths of mocl
hero worship"

BIGGER THAN THE PANAMA
CANAL

The above is the title of a neatly
printed and illustrated pamphlet is
sued by the Erie railroad. That
road carried 36,471,206 tons of
freight during the fiscal year, clos
ing June 30th, 1912. To float this
tonnage it would require nearly 27,-
294 vessels of 5000 tons each, or
nearly five times the tonnage capac-
ity, steam and sail, of all the mer-
chant fleets of all the nations of the
world.
The Panama canal is so miles
long. Experts announce that, for the
first year or two, the annual move
ment of traffic through the canal will
be 0,500,00O tons, probably reach
ing 100000 tons by 1925. The
Erie claims its road is bigger and
gives the comparison as above stated.
To provide better facilities for
handling the travel and shipments
over its line, the Erie railroad COM
pany has now under construction
260 miles of second and third track
on its line west of Salamanca, which
will be completed next year. Some
of the magnitude of the construction
now under way is clearly illustrated
in half-tone engravings taken, show
ing the course taken and of excava-
tions made. In several instances the
pictures represented as passing
through rocky places, deep cuts in
hills and over low lands. In the lat
ter several films were necessary to
be made to obtain the desired grade
The work beng done in the line OF
improvements is certainly one wor-
thy of much commendation. After
these improvements are completed
we may expect the Erie to cut across
Wayne county,

ID. & n. CHANGES.
General Offices of the Company to
Move to Margaretville.

The general Offices of the Delaware
and Northern in New York city will
be moved to Margaretville January
first, it is said.
There are about 10 men employed
in the New York office, among them
some high salaried men, including
the general freight and passenger
agent, expert accountants and sever
al other men some of whom have
made frequent trips here and are
we'll acquainted with Margaretville.
The Margaretville office was re-
modelled a year ago to accommodate
the New York force but for some
reason the change was not made at
that time.-Walt Reporter.

A MALE QUARTET.
Music Makers Soon to Appear Here,
One of the Best-Their Marymba-
phone.


A male quartet is regarded as in
dispensable nowadays on a lyceum
course. The Music Makers comprise
not only good quartet, but there is
plenty of novelty in their program
as well as the evenings entertain
ment of nearly two hours which
passes all too quickly.
The Music Makers carry with
them the largest marymbaphone ever
built for the lyceum. This instru-
ment is new to the lyceum plat
form, and moreover in its present
state, it may be said to be new to
the world, although the principle of
producing tone from different
lengths of the hardwood is one of
the earliest forms of music making.
The modern application of the prin-
ciple, that of connecting powerful
resonators with each key and pro-
ducing the tone with felt-covered
hammers, is a wonderful develop
ment, the resonators creating the
volume and the soft hammers beau
tifying and quality. The effect
might be said to suggest that of a
powerful harp.
On the marymbaphone this quar-
tet renders such selections as the
Poet and Peasant overture, the
American Patrol or the Light
Cavalry " overture. The vocal quar-
tet of this company, their vocal
solos, the readings which are given
by one of the company are all fea-
lures of the evening worthy of spe-
cial comment.

WAYNE SMALLPOX DUE
TO MAIL CARRIERS.

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 23.-State
Health Department records show a
total of forty-one cases of smallpox
in Wayne county since the beginning
of the recent outbreak. Twenty
three cases are now under quaran-
tine, and the department, acting
through the county medical inspec-
tor, is using its best efforts to stamp
out the disease.
Investigation has shown that the
postmaster at Hales Eddy, N. Y.
handled the mails for two weeks af.
ter he had developed smallpox. The
carrier who brought mail from that
office down into Wayne county al
far as Sherman, is now down with
the disease.-Scranton Tribune-Re'

EARLY DAY EUREKA HISTORY
The First Nevada Smelling Fur
mace Was Built in Eureka
In 1869

In 1859, . smelling furnace was erect
ed in the Eureka district. Nevada, by O.
A. stetefeidt. which appears to have
smslted ores from several Of the mines.
but 9 large proportion Of gangue in the
ores rendered the flux required too great.
and pecuniary difficulties prevented the
completion of the plant.
The first successful commercial plant
appears to have been erected by Dol. g.
O. Robbins at Eureka, in 1869, which
plant was described by r. o. Candy.
before the International Congress Of
Applied Chemistry. the data being fur
'nished by F. Robbins, son Of Col. Rob-
bins. The stack was . draft furnace.
through which the mixture Of oxide and
carbonate ores is said to have run like
butter"
Originally Stag was run of into ordi-
nary iron wheelbarrows. and bullion
molds were made Of sheet iron. folded
and reinforced by heavy wire rim, In
1870, the original draft stack had already
gwen way to two small blast furnaces,
and within the text four or five years
there were 10 or more plants erected.
However. it did not take the mine own
ers long to learn that the smelling toll
charged by a large plant was less than
the operating costs of an individual one,
so that eventually I'VE only, the Eureka
Consolidated, and Richmond Consoli-
dated. survived. These eventually
combined &C fx q smelling charge which
wal all the miner could stand and just
low enough to prevent the ore going to
Salt Lake City.
In 1870, with the exception of Stete-
feldt, there were no skilled metallur-
gists, there were two or three itinerant
assayers whose knowledge did not ex-
tend beyond the use of cruicible and
oupel, but carefully hourly analyses Of
slags were made on the point Of a long
handled shovel.
T. Pritchard was smeltery foreman.
q son Of q Welchman and a Mexican
woman. described rs racially q metal
lurgical marvel. The crew was Mexi-
can and Indian and celebrated feast
days with great vigor. During u Of
these shut downs Pritchard white
washed the furnace interior with bone
ash. having gotten the idea from the
resisting properties of the cupel.
Three young German m~etallurgists.
Karl Won Leibinau, Albert Arents and
Otto 81. Hahn, came to the camp about
this time. Hahn. probably with Lei
benau as his assistant, planned and
constructed the smelling plant Of the
Richmond Company in 1871. Arents
remodelled that of the Eureka. These
men probably brought with them the
plans Of the Raschette furnaces from
Germany. They were the first to intro
duce dust chambers into the camp and
Arents invented aud patented his siphon
tap. For many years metallurgical pill
grims came to steal ideas from these
works. = Engineering and Mining
