Gossip about diplomatic appoint
ments is not entitled to much respect
because the President and Secretary
Bryan are not men who would talk
freely with outsiders about pending
appointments. But the mention of
Mr.. Olney's name in connection with
the embassy to Great Britain recalls
the fact that he was Secretary of
State in Mr.. Cleveland's second Cab
met, when the United States de-
manded that the British boundary
dispute be referred to arbitration.
The situation looked rather serious.
There was panic on the New York
Stock Exchange, and Congress made
an emergency appropriation for mill
tary purposes. But Lord Salisbury
agreed to arbitration.

COURT NOTES.

The two cases of Theresa A. Ger
ETY. and Mrs. Rena Congdon against
the Columbian Protective Associa-
ton Of Binghamton, N. Y, were
continued on Thursday morning,
March 9Th, upon application made
by John F. Scragg of the firm Of
Scragg e Scragg, attorneys of Scran-
ton, who represent the Columbian
Protective Association, before Judge
A. T. Searle, in court here. Mr..
Scragg stated to the Court that an
effort was being made by which the
entire matter could be settled to the
satisfaction of all parties concern
ed. He said the proposition of set
tlement, principally came from Lyn-
don D. Wood who was interested,
the Insurance Department of Penn
sylvania and the Receiver. Mr..
Scragg argued that it would be bet
ter to put the cases over until set
tlement could be affected. Mr..
Scragg stated that in the settlement,
the certificate holders would get all
that was coming to them, and there
would be no cause for complaint.

POLICE CHEF KILLED IN RAID
Warrant Out For Man Accused of
Keeping Daughter In Resort.

Moressen, Pa, March 10. - Acting
Chief of Police George Etinger was
shot dead at the door of a disorderly
house which he and three other officers
were raiding.
Police, state troopers and detectives
are searching for Noah Hough, a for
mer policeman of Bellevernon, who is
believed to be in hiding in an abandon
ed coal mine. A warrant had been
sworn out for Hough's arrest on a
charge of pandering, it being alleged
that his slXteen-year-old daughter was
being kept in the resort where the muir
der occurred.
Etinger, after stationing his men
around the house, knocked at the rear
door. The door suddenly was thrown
open and a bullet was fired into the
chiefs heart. The slayer escaped by
the front 1oor, the officers on guard
there having run to the rear on hear
ing the shot.

portance to routine. l believe that
every young man who intends to
succeed in business, should do as |
did-take a course at commercial
college. / do not believe in what
is called the rule of thumb; rudi-
ments of business should be prepar-
ed to build upon. If youth has had
no thorough grounding time may
come when his weakness for detail

HYMENEAL.
Davis-Martin.

"Wednesday afternoon, March 5th,
at o'clock Miss Georgiana Martin
and Barry Davis, of Scranton, were
married. The wedding ceremony was
performed at the home Of the BRIDE
sister, Mrs. William Howell, in
Scranton, Rev. G. B. Henry, of Bing-
hamton, N. Y, officiating. The dec
orations were smilax and palms. The
bride was attired in blue travelling
suit with picture hat to match; she
carried lilies of the valley, and made
charming appearance. The bride
was formerly bookkeeper for the
Western Union Telegraph company
while the groom is Of the firm of J..
A. Eberts Co. After March 25, they
will reside at 730 Taylor avenue,
Scranton.
The bride is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Martin, of Winwood, and
before going to Scranton, was en-
ployed by the Bell Telephone Co. at
this place as bookkeeper. She has
many friends here who wish her
much happiness.

TO ABOLISH ILLITERACY.

During the discussions by the
great educators of the country in
Philadelphia last week much stress
was laid upon the fact that illiteracy
is fast passing away and the hope
was expressed that within a single
decade it would be abolished SO far
as the young people of the country
are concerned, says an editorial in
the Philadelphia Press of Monday,
which expresses our sentiments con-
cerning this momentous question. 1t
goes on to say that there are a good
many adults who have never learned
to read and write and who are not ex-
pected to do so, but the rising gen
Grafton is to have the rudiments
down to the last child with normal
mind
There are at present in this coun-
try 5,500,000 illiterates more than
ten years old. A great many of these
are colored people of the South, who
have had few or no facilities for
learning to read and write. Some
are foreigners who have reached this
country as adults, and there are a
good many whites in the less popu-
lous districts of the country who are
wholly uneducated. But that the ris-
ing generation is to be cared for is a
matter of the first Importance. In
most of the Northern States educa-
tion is compulsory and schools are in
! session at least nine months in the
year. In Southern States compul-
sorry education is not so common noI
well administered where it exists
Schools are not in session for Sc
many months and there is less belief
in the efficacy of education. But the
leaven is growing, so that the optim-
ism of the teachers does not seem
unwarranted.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside Judson c. Welliver, Wash
1ngton correspondent of that periodi-
cal, writes about the advantages of
cooperative marketing. Following
is an extract: " Doubtless everybody
recollects how, few years ago, the
prune crop was so huge that the
boarding houses couldn't absorb it.
Well, the California Fruit-Growers'
Exchange hired the best advertising
agency it could find, appropriated a
big wad of cash and told the ad-writ-
ers to convince the whole country
that prunes were the real stuff. No
body could be healthy without eating
'em! The most delicious of fruitsl
send for free recipe-book telling
how to make wonderful, new and
novel confections and desserts with
'em! Everybody come on and have
some prunes! The advertising col
umns were full of it. You recollect
that advertising campaign, don't
you? Well, that's what it was about
1t sold that extraordinary prune
crop, founded a new market, created
demand that has grown ever since
and proved once more that co-opera.
tlon can do things that without CO.
operation can't even be dreamed Of"

Some remarks by Secretary Bryan
have frozen the blood of the officials
and clerks in the Department of
State. He said his tenure there was
brief, and he knew of no reason why
theirs should be any more perman-
ent. The State Department has al
ways been a little outside of the
range of the patronage mongers.
Before there was any civil service
law the clerks in the War and Navy
Departments were far more secure
than those of the Postoffice and the
Treasury, and the clerks of the State
Department were very rarely remov-
ed except for cause. Below the AS
sistant Secretary few changes were
made. There will probably be no
clean sweep, but the suggestion of
it has shaken the department.

sTART NOW TO FIGHT THE FLY.

Now is the time to begin warfare
upon the fly. Make it point to kill
the occasional fly that you see.
Every such fly destroyed will mean
millions less in the summer.
Do not give the fly a chance to
breed. Sprinkle chloride of lime or
kerosene over manure piles, old pa
per, straw, the contents of garbage
boxes and privy vaults. Keep garb-
age receptacles covered tightly
Keep the ground around them clean.
Keep manure in screened pits or
vaults if possible. The sewage sys-
tenn should be kept in good repair.
All leaks should be stopped immedi-
ately. Pour kerosene into the drains
Do not allow any sort of decayed
matter to accumulate near your
home. See that no dirt gathers in
corners, behind the door, back OF
radiators, under stoves, etc.
Where cuspidors are used, as in
hotels and other places, a five pei
cent. solution of carbolic acid should
be kept in them. Get rid of the saw
dust box used as a cuspidor. 1t is
unsanitary.
Cleanliness is the greatest foe OF
the fly. The fly thrives in filth and
dirt. Begin to fight the fly right now
by removing its breeding places and
you will lessen the danger of infec-
tion from the many diseases which
1t carries from the sick to the well

HARRISBURG LETTER

Harrisburg, Pa, March TO-
When the State Senate reconvenes
this week. 1t is expected that an ef-
fort will be made to set going the
100000 good roads constitu-
tional amendment resolution, which
has been favorably reported from
committee and is ready for action.
Confirmation of the appointment
of State Highway Commissioner e.
M. Bigelow by the Senate is believed
to have opened the way for consid-
Grafton of the amendment PROPOSE
tion, whose friends refrained from
pushing it during the period in which
any uncertainty as to the future
management of the Highway depart
ment might have been used against
it. All this is now out of the way,
and there is believed to be plain sail
ing for the amendment. Its passage
by the Senate is considered as as
sured, and it will then be sent over
to the House, where the friends of
good roads will rally to its support.
It appears probable now that no
attempt will be made to secure a
special election for submitting this
| proposed amendment to the people,
but that it will be allowed to await
the regular election next November,
when the voters will have an oppor-
tunity to say whether or not the
building of main State highways
throughout Pennsylvania shall be
financed in an adequate manner.
This brings up the question of the
necessary enabling legislation. The
amendment to the constitution
would merely permit the State to
issue bonds for highway improve
ment. Specific authority for such an
I issue, with provisions for limiting
the amounts to be put out each year
and for the setting aside of interest
and sinking funds, must be granted
by act of assembly. If this were to
be put off until after the people had
voted on the amendment, the neces-
sary enabling legislation could not
be enacted until the session of 1915,
and the money for road building
would not be available until two
years from next June.
The impression is that the present
| legislature can pass the enabling
acts, contingent on the amendment
being approved by majority of the
| VOJeTS ueAJ November. lulS WOulu
enable the State to prepare for the
first issue of bonds during next fall
and permit the launching of the
road building program early in the
spring of 1914. In fact, it might
have the effect of starting the work
on big scale this year; for the rea-
son that if assured of money from
the bond issue in 1914, the depart
ment might be justified in using dur
! ing 1913 the bulk of the money ap-
propriated by the present Legislature
for the next two years.
The Pennsylvania Motor Fedora.
tion is keeping up it's campaign OF
education in behalf of the bond is
sue, realizing that not only must the
members of the legislature be con-
tinually reminded of the vast public
demand for good roads, but that the
million and a half of voters in the
State must be thoroughly informed
between now and election time as tC

A NEW PARCEL POST FEATITRE

y "a
On the first day of July next the
scope of the parcel service will be
greatly enlarged by providing for a
collect-on-delivering feature, Post
master General Hitchcock having
signed the order.
Under the approved regulations a
parcel bearing the required amount
OF parcel post stamps may be sent
anywhere in the country and the
amount due from the purchaser col
lected and remitted by the postoffice
department. The regulations provide
that the parcel must bear the amount
due from the addressee and the col
lection will be made provided the
amount is not in excess of 800. The
fee will be 10 cents to be affixed by
the sender in parcel post stamps.
This will also insure the parcel to an
amount not to exceed $50
This new regulation will be well
