New Works First Mayor.

The first mayor of New York, Thom- as Willett, was inducted into office in June, 1865. Governor Richard Nicolls, the first English executive of the flu ture Empire State, was responsible for the appointment of Willett, who was a wealthy merchant and trader and had a town house in New York and a coun- try estate in Rhode Island, where his body was buried in 1874. Willett, who was shrewd business man, governed New York honestly and well and after his first term of one year was made mayor again ill 1867. The municipal government of which he was the head was composed of five aldermen, three Dutch and two English, and a sheriff, although police duties devolved largely upon the mayor, and he was police magistrate as well.-New York World.

Curious Incident of an Explosion That

Curious Incident of an Explosion That
 Wrecked Fifty Homes.
 It happened that in the last month of the reign of Charles I. certain ship chandler of London was foolish enough to busy himself over a barrel of gunpowder with lighted candle in his hand. He paid the price. of his folly. A spark fell into the gunpow- der and, the place was blown up.
 The trouble was that the man who did the mischief was not the only one to perish. Fifty houses were wrecked, and the number of people who were killed was not known.
 In one house among the fifty moth CT had put her baby into it's cradle to sleep before the explosion occurred What became of the mother no one ever knew, but what became of the baby was very widely known. The next morning there was found upon the leads of the Church of Allhallows a young child in a cradle, baby and cradle being entirely uninjured by the explosion that had lifted both to such giddy height
 It was never learned who the child was, but she was adopted by gentle man of the parish and grew to woman hood. She must surely all her life have had a peculiar interest in that church.-Sir Walter Besant's Lon dOn,"

 As those two came through the door, way and into the car the small boy. quite by accident, of course. hit the middle aged gentleman reading the newspaper good. smart kick on the shin, causing the man to vince, while the boys progress was checked for a moment by his thus kicking up against something.
 The mother looked down. but she said nothing to the man. It was to the boy she spoke:
 Did you hurt yourself, dear?"
 Which seemed case of misplaced sympathy.-New York Sun.

THE WOMEN OF GERMANY.

One must entertain the highest ad- miration for the German women. In a sense, they are no less the victims of the kaiser's army than the women of Belgium.
 They impressed me as the greatest women of Europe when I was in Ger many, and the most pathetic in their bondage to the men. They were by far the most thoughtful, the most cap able and the most helpless. They had the mournful sense of sibyls in re- gard to their conditions. They were not hopeful; they were only patient. They had the brains of scholars and philosophers, the seer spirits of poets. And they seemed to be moving dumb ly through the life of the nation. They were the slaves of the order of things there.
 This war is the great opportunity for the women of Germany. And they have met it with courage. Germany is being bled to the last drop of her manhood. So the women are filling the mems places in every walk of life. They are no longer at the bot tom. but at the top. They are talk ing the places of the male students in the schools and universities. They are in the banks. They are conduct ing great businesses. They are at tending to the sanitary conditions of the towns and cities. The whole of Berlin is supplied with milk from the farms just outside the city. This enormous enterprise has always been managed by men; but when they were called out to join their regi- ments the women went in and filled the places of the men, and Berlin was not without her milk supply for a single day-Corra Harris, in Satuday Evening Post.

THE CANAL BUSINESS.

If you walk through the American Hawaiian big fifteen-acre dock ware house at the Bush terminal in Brook lyn you will see huge cargoes of freight being loaded and unloaded that mark a new era in American trans portation. They pretty nearly mark, for the United States, what Hamburg and the Elbe stand for to Germany the coordination of river and rail, of land and water transportation.
 You see Wabash cars, Illinois Gen. tral cars, Michigan Southern cars, lined up beside steamers, transferring freight from the middle west to steamers bound for the Pacific coast. There is motor machinery billed from Detroit to Seattle. There are Pitts burg steel plates billed for California. There are Chicago galvanized sheets billed for San Diego. Yet more please note and think what it means there are Indianapolis boxes billed for Seattle. There are St. Louis leath. CTS and Kansas City corn exports and St. Paul flour billed to coast points all the way from Los Angeles to Ia coma.
 What does it mean? It means that middle west freight is taking to wa ter to go round to the Pacific coast. It means that it is cheaper for this freight to come third the way across the continent east by rail and then go by water 2,0O0 miles down to Pan. anna and 5000 miles up the Pacific coast than it is for this freight to go two-thirds the way across the conti nent west by rail.-American Review of Reviews.

THE ERA OF GLASS.
It May Como After Our Iron Ore Dc.
 posits Arc Exhausted.


 posits Arc Exhausted.
 The iron ore deposits of the world are being rapidly exhausted, and the time is not far distant when we will have to get along without iron and steel. Before that day arrives some substitute for these valuable things will have to be found, and it has been suggested N scientist familiar with the subject' that the logical successor will be glass.
 Glass can be mads to meet nearly all the requirements of iron and steel and with improved methods of manufac- ture will be great deal cheaper. There is an abundant supply of the materials from which glass is made, and long before iron reaches the ob- solete stage it is more than likely that glass will be one of its strongest con- petitors.
 The chief fault with glass is its brit. tleness, but it is possible even now to produce a grade of glass which can stand a great deal of hard usage and serve many of the purposes for which iron is employed. The progress of in- vention is bound to evolve a quality of glass which will be as strong and durable as iron and transparent as well.
 The use of glass will effect a great improvement in sanitary conditions. The building of the future, according to this scientist, will have it's walls, ceilings, floors, sanitary fixtures and almost everything else made of glass; Eychanpp

TN the consideration Of jurists fit for

worthy to wear the ermine of the

of the Commonwealth in all it's i'm

nized by lawyer and layman in all

Here in Dauphin county his fellow

claim his appointment as a recogni-

PREPAREDNESS PER EZEKIEL!
philadelphia Public Ledger.l


BY quoting the prophet Ezekiel on
preparedness in a friendly letter to
Seth Low the President has taken the
wind out of Bryan's sails in a way
that does one good who recalls that a
certain unctuous reliance on the Bible
is the peerless orators chief Chautau-
uuawking stock in trade, by which he
gives q. convincing character to his
combination Chadbandian and Peck
snifiian style of platitudes, in order,
also, to prove, as the canting phrase
goes. that "the Lord is on his side"
OF course, as the Bryanites may say,
even the Devil can cite Scripture; but
the Presidents counter on the argu-
ments of the nonresistance folk from
Ezekiel xxxiii, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Is capital;
if the "watchman warns and the
people heed not then their blood is OH
their own heads; but. If the watch
man does not warn when he sees the
sword about to fall, then he is re-
sponsible for the woes of the people.
The modern analogies are easy but
1t never occurred to Ezekiel to pic
ture Bryan as a watchman, who not
only will not warn the people, but
even tells them that the sword is q
myth, and that they can go their ways
in peace; a type elsewhere described
In the Bible as the "blind leader of
the blind" who both fall into the
ditch
