THE UNIDENTIFIED BURIED.

Only once before was the city so
moved as it was recently, when the
twenty-one unidentified victims of
the Binghamton Clothing Company
fire were buried in Spring Forest
cemetery. That was when Daniel S.
Dickinson, the great leader of the
WAR Democrats" of the North, the
man whose orations made plain the
duty of untold thousands during the
dark and bloody days. was buried
in the same cemetery years ago.
At Dickinson's funeral the great
ones of the nation came to mourn
and, by their eulogies, delivered here
and elsewhere, testified to the great
ness of the mighty dead. Then, as
yesterday, the entire city was in deep
mourning and then, as yesterday,
the cemetery was so thronged with
people that it was almost impossible
to find a place to stand inside it's
boundaries. But yesterdays funeral
was more impressive still than that
of Dickinson. If there were no ora
tions of tremendous power, there was
the more eloquent tribute of awed
silence as the vast assemblage of
people watched the long line of cof-
tin-bearers form at the gates and
bear the twenty-one bodies to the
plot set apart for them. The full
force of the calamity came to the
people at large as they saw that
! grim procession and as they reflected
upon the awful price sometimes eX-
acted under the conditions of modern
industrialism. The impressive SER
vices at the opera house and at the
graves had a most powerful effect
upon the public, bringing home to
each one present the needs of the
hour.-Binghamton Republican.

PENNSYLVANIA SUNDAY LAW.
Worldly Employment or Business on
Sunday Prohibited.

If any person shall do or perform
any worldly employment or business
whatsoever on the Lords Day, COM
monty called Sunday (works of ne
cessity and charity only eXcepted)
shall use or practice any unlawful
game, hunting, shooting, sport or
diversion on the same day, and be
convicted thereof, every such per-
son so offending shall, for every
such offense, be fined or imprisoned,
forfeit and pay four dollars. Pro-
vided always, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed to pro-
hibit the dressing of victuals in pri-
vate families, bake houses, lodging
houses, inns or other houses of en-
tertainment for the use of sojourn-
ers, travellers or strangers, nor to
the delivery of milk or the neces-
saries of life before nine of the
clock in the forenoon, nor after five
of the clock in the afternoon of the
same day.
The following explanations are de-
cisions as rendered by the courts Of
Pennsylvania:
1. Persons who profess the Jew
ish religion and others who keep the
seventh day as their Sabbath, are
within the meaning of the act. The
acts in favor of liberty of conscience
are not in conflict with the Sunday
laws, or with those for the suppress
sion of vice and immortality, these
are intended to protect the social
customs of the people, and have no
intention to enforce their religious
opinions.
2. Shaving and hair dressing for
hire, in a shop kept for the purpose,
is a worldly employment forbidden
by the act. The fact that persons
were shaved without compensation
makes no difference.
3. A sale of cigars by a licensed
inn keeper, whether to his guests or
strangers, is violation of the act.
A. The sale of Sunday newspapers
is a work of charity and necessity.
5. Repairing a railroad track is a
work of necessity and charity
6. Baseball playing on Sunday at
an unfrequented place is not such a
breach of the peace as to make the
parties indictable, in the absence of
evidence that any one was disturbed
The court may grant a preliminary
injunction at the instance of the at
lOluey S6uGGdl 10 TGSCTdln In6 play
ing of base ball on Sunday.
Z. The sale of ice cream on Sun
day, by baker who conducts re-
freshment room in connection with
the bakery, but who does not furnish
the ordinary public entertainment,
is protected by the act. The clause
authorizing the dressing of victuals
does not include the right to sell.
8. Carrying on the business of
selling milk in an open store, to all
who may call for it, is a worldly
employment and not within the pro-
vision permitting the delivery Of
milk" delivery and sale are not
synonymous.

which are to be held throughout Au-
gust, are announced. The first of the
series was last Thursday, while the
others will come off on Thursday of
each week. me sycamore Club, of
New York city, will be in charge Of
the regatta. The following events
were found on the program: Men and

duck race, no-oar race, swimming
race and canoe fitting contest.
Prizes are offered for all of the
above events. The annual regatta
is announced for "Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, August 20, 21

Fishing, which receded somewhat
into the background during the pre-
parations for the regattas and the
card parties, received a strong stim-
ulus Saturday, when Mr.. William
Yeager, of Grays Casino, landed a
five pound bass after a hard strug-
gle. To be exact, the fish weighed
about five and half ounces over
the five pound mark. This is the
banner catch of the season.

STAMPING OUT TUBERCULOSIS
DEMANDS MORE HOSPITALS
Hardly One Bed for Every Eight
or Ten Consumptives Provided
For states Have None.

Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Mis-
sissippi are the only states in the
United States which have made no
hospital or sanatorium provision for
consumptives, says The National AS
sociation for the Study and Preven-
ton of tuberculosis in a bulletin
issued today. At the same time the
Association asserts that, while there
are $4,000 beds for tuberculosis pa
tients in other states, this number
is very inadequate, hardly more than
one for every eight or ten needy pa
tients being provided. Some states
have less than 80 beds, and in not a
single one is there a sufficient num-
ber available.
The bulletin points that, although
the death rate from tuberculosis has
declined steadily for the last twen-
ty-tive years, a marked increase in
hospital and sanatorium beds must
be made before a rate of even or
5 deaths per 1000 population can
be reached. At the present time the
city death rates in this country range
from eight or nine per 1000 living
to as high as 35 or 40, with the av-
erage around 10 or 16, according
to the latest reports of the Bureau of
the Census.
The National Association estimates
that there are over million con-
sumptives in the United States, of
whom probably at least one-third
are unable to provide for themselves
the necessary treatment at home.
Most of these cases are a menace
to the health of their families and as
sociates, and should be in special hos
pitfalls. At the present time, how
ever, even if every case were known,
it would not be possible to provide
accommodations far more than one
in eight or ten. The removal of these
foci of infection demands more and
better hospital and sanatorium pro-
vision.

CURES PNIPLEs EASILY.
Simple Remedy That Clears Skin
Quickly of All Eruptions.

For several weeks past Peil, the

1t has been found to heal not only
all minor skin troubles, such as pim-

feet to lower prices of grain. We
now expect the August drouth to put
grain and cotton higher and we still
advise not to sell the new crops Of
cotton and grain.

We are of opinion that financial
affairs will be favorable to business
expansion during the next six
months and that all farm products
will sell at better prices. Mexico
and the Central American states
must soon return to business and
drop the occupation of war. To re-
coup they will need much of our
farm products. The Balkins are in
much the same condition as Mexico.
The opening of the Panama canal
will bring new demands for our
products. Our own population is
rapidly increasing while our culti-
waited lands are at a standstill or
| decreasing. The unsettled condi-
tions in European governments will
/ increase immigration to this coun-
try and Canada. All these matters
will tend to make good prices for
farm products.

SOUND ADVICE

In the Peoples Forum today will
be found very timely and import
ant article by Mr.. c. E. Hutchinson,
In which he discussed In a very able
~ and sensible manner the impor-
lance OF electing Republican con-
gresham to succeed John w. Davis,
from the First Congressional Dis
tfict. {a
Mr.. Hutchinson is not only one
of the leading business men OF the
Monongahela Valley but he has been
q life long Republican, believing in
the time honored principles Of the
party and while he has become mod
ern enough In his views to acquire
strong progressive principles, he
knows the value of protection to his
business and that of every other
business man of this district. He
knows the value Of protection not
only to the business man but to the
laboring man who cannot hope to
succeed and earn fair wages unless
the business is good.
He points out in his article the
fact that this district leads in manu-.
featuring, In mining and In agrlcul.
ture. All Of these lines of business
are greatly affected by the tariff,
more especially the manufacturing
branch of business.
These things being true It is more
important, as Mr.. Hutchinson so well
says, that we elect a congressman
In sympathy with protection than it
Is to- strive to seek any partisan ad-
vantage In the selection of candi-
date
With the Republican party diyid-
ed tn this district there can be but
one result and that Is the election of
another Democrat to Congress.
This district will be set back a
4 quarter of a century in business and
growth tftthe policy Of free trade is
fastened upon 1t, which seems to be
the plan Of the Democratic majority
IN Congress. That this will be done
now; seems to be foregone conclu-
sion, land the election Of a Republi-
can In this district will not prevent
thai, but II the policy is made effect
I've now there must be a reversal
which Is sure to come and then the
importanceesof having protection
list In congress from this district is
made doubly apparent.
Republicans and Progressives
should one and all weigh this serious
question In the scales Of sober rea-
son and meet the situation with the
full knowledge of the consequences
. Of mistake confronting them.
