A postcard is just received from President Frank H. Johnston, of the State Business Mems Association, who is abroad as delegate from his Asso- citation attending the Worlds Congress of Chambers of Commerce. The card was posted at Montreaux, Switzerland, and bears picture of the Hotel Con- tinental, massive and ornate struc- ture under the shadow of the Alps, with this personal message:
 "This is just as good as it looks. Wonderful entertainment every day. Receptions 'officiale.' Banquets, Champagne, etc. Five days motor ing in the Alps. Just what you and Mrs. R. would enjoy 2,oo0 delegates at convention. American delegates very prominent. Rewards to all. !"

Dear Life on the Ocean,

It's "ll right to rave and rant about the high cost of living when your grocery bills of this year show an in- crease of from $5 to $10 month over those of 1913, but what would you do if, upon giving your accounts the 'up and down." you found the difference to be just 1894, 1000? That's what the North German Lloyd Steamship Company has discovered, according to its report just made public.
 But after all, it looks more like the cost of living high for, be it known, the passengers on that line in just twelve months consumed exactly 36, 661 bottles of champagne and 3, 800, 900 quarts of beer. It looks as if a whole lot of voyagers believe in that intelli- gence which states that while your drunk you'll not be troubled with sea- sickness.
 In disparaging talk with his neigh Dor, MT. Suburbanite lamented, "Why, my coal cost me $50 more last year than it did in 1913." All right, Mr. Suburbanite, how would you like to get statement showing that difference to be $187. .498? There's another puzzle the steamship concern is trying to piece together. It looks as if it were going to cost more to go abroad "in the sweet bye and bye' because the deficit has just got to be made up in some way and the natural solution of the company is to boost the steamship rates. In that event, it is pointed out Niagara Falls will become more popular than ever among honeymooners, who will content themselves with listening to the sad sea waves down on the beach or with see- ing the Bosphorus from the decks of the Maid of the Mist.
 Here are some of the cute little fig ures which the Lloyd people are trying to reconcile: Coal, 1,791 ,O13 tons; po- tatoes, 20, 900, 0OO pounds; eggs, 5000, 900; oranges, 3,OOO,OOO apples and pears, 1000, 1000.

She was horribly burned, however, about the body and died few hours after being received at the hospital.

Rogers, an invalid and Mrs. Rogers from their sleep early Friday morning just in time to save them from being burned alive in their residence in Port, land, which was destroyed, with its contents. Neighbors who were at. tracted to the scene rushed to the door, way to help out the couple who were groping for an exit.

Joseph Budner of South Norwalk, committed suicide Thursday morning. Going to window he called to his wife and one of his three children in the dooryard. As soon as he saw them, he plunged a 12-inch knife into his throat and nearly severed the head from the body. He was dead when the medical examiner arrived. Budner had been suffering from temporary insanity, and told his wife that his enemies were coming around on the Fourth of July to kill him.

BurIeson and Government ownershi


 It is estimated that the existing tele- phone lines could be purchased for about $900, ,000,000. By the issuance of national bonds the matter of acquir- ing these lines would not be such a difficult proposition as some others that would be inevitably connected with such an enormous transfer. All of which would be discounted if it were certain that economic good and equal or better service would be the public's DOT tion. But of this there is indeed no re- liable assurance.
 But MT. Burleson would do well to devote his time and energies to the ad- ministration of the Postoffice Depart ment, instead of championing an ill., considered socialistic experiment. for which there is little general public de- mand. After all is said and done it remains a fact that we have the best service in the world and it is growing better under the present competition. And as for MT. Burleson's department there is probably no department more sorely in need of practical attention.- Uniontown Daily News Standard.

BEER CASES SETTLED
Indictments Were Quashed, on Pay
 ment of Costs.


 The cases of State against the four young men charged with responsibility for providing beer which was partaken of by half dozen young boys, at re- cent "horning, was scheduled for trial before Justice of the Peace George w.. Ford, Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Attorney L. J. Nickerson, of West Corn wall, had been retained by the defend ants; J. Clinton Roraback for the state.
 Public interest in the cases had be- come widespread by reason of the exag- gerated stories that had gotten abroad, some of which appeared in the metropo- Titan papers and related that ten kegs of beer were consumed by the boys, and that some of the children had become riotously drunk at the "horning."
 At the hour set for trial a considerable crowd assembled, including men from adjoining and neighboring towns, .ex- pecting to hear sensational trial. Justice Ford had taken his seat at the head of the courtroom table, in the Town Hall, awaiting the appearance of the lawyers, defendants and with cgSas, of whom large number had been sub- poenaed, including the six youngsters who had drunk some of the beer. Der. uty Sheriff Rhoades had been des- patched in pursuit of one more witness, but on passing Roraback's s law office he was summoned inside, where Lawyers Roraback and Nickerson were in con- sultation, and notified that he need not go after the witness, as there would be no court trial. No other information was vouchsafed the deputy, who pro- ceeded to inform the court. that there was nothing doing, and the courtroom was soon deserted.
 Definite information as to the ending of the cases was not voluntarily given out by the parties on either side, but from reliable sources it appears that Prosecutor Roraback consented to nolle them all and quash the indictments, on payment of costs. ,.r..
 This settlement was manifestly satis- factory to all the parties and to the pub lie, who had been strennously discuss ing the affair since the night of the beer episode. Public sentiment had been keenly aroused and the prosecu- tions had been topic of street corner discussion and wherever two or three were gathered together. Opinion was divided as to the advisability of prose- cutting, under the circumstances, some maintaining that beer has been an i'm separable factor in marriage eelebra- tions from time immemorial and that no infraction of the law was intended or thought of. Others contended that the giving of beer to a minor is ex- plicitly prohibited by statute, regardless of marriage celebrations or; other occa- sions whatsoever. ,l
 The settlement, out of court, and without further agitation of sensational details, is mutually commended and furthermore brings a sensation of in tense relief to half dozen thoroughly frightened young gentlemen.
