PAINLESS EXTRACTING
Patrick Meany has died a protest
against the transfer of the Market
House hotel properly in Conshohocken
to Jacob A, Cahill, of Norrlstown.
Mttany alleging that the license Is a
1" rsonal matter and that he Intends hg
have It transferred to another proper-ty.
The hotel was recently renled to
Jkcob A. Cahill.
In the common pleas court Patrick
HcQrath issued n writ of Indictment
agalnsi Patrick Meany to recover pos-session
of the Market House hotel,
leased to Meany five years ago. It Ii
alleged In the writ that Moany's lease
expired last Saturday, 'the 16th inst.,
and 1 hat by the terms of an agrement
signed by Meany that he agreed to give
up |>eaceful posssslon and assist in the
transfer of the license to his success-or
if given three months notice. The
writ states that the required notice
was sorved last October and that
Meany Is now holding iiosseasion
against the Interests of the owner.
Judgment was given against Meany.
Mr. De l-a Cour, in speaking of the
efforts to improve the train service,
here said:
We fully intend to get for Consho-hocken
the consideration she deserves.
Kadi time a new schedule Is made they
lop off another express train. We are
not disposed Ho sit still, but to make
a firm stand for our rights. The lo-cal
service Is well enough, but we
don 1 want to spend from thirty-eight
in forty-two minutes going thirl ecu
miles
Most people here use the Reading—
nine-tenths. I should say. I'nder the
new schedule the 8.36 morning train
from the Roadin'g Terminal does not
stop. That Is one thing we are after,
as it was a convenient train for sales-men
and others to come out on. It Is
an outrage to cut out Conshohocken
as is done.
The 505 express in on the Pennsylva-nia
stops because we entered a pro-test
when It was taken off.
Incidentally the question of restoring
the old form of 100-trlp tickets sold for
113.50 and good for a year will bo tak-en
up. The time limit is now reduced
to three months. Each company_says
the other Is responsible, but that Is
not what we care about.
William Little, another member of
111a "iiniiiitii 11, said:
Neither railroad gives conshohocken
adequate servi. c Wc do not want to
make trouble for the railroad people,
but we will tight for our rights If we
'inist. The present schedules slde-irack
ibis town. On that ground. HIICI
1 liai of good transportation service for
our people, we shall make the request
tl n more express trains be stopped.

Railway there are live express trains

Jnliii W. MaoJtay was an early riser,
a bard worker and, although exceed
Ingly iinsp - :.in,seii abstemi-ous
and COUld seldom lie induced to
play curds 1.H money, pud than for
only nonilaal stakes. The only game
that seemed lo attract hiui was the
"grasshopper races" with which the
mining superintendents on the Com-
Stock' beguiled a portion of the noon
hour while Waiting (of luncheon at the
Savage company hoisting house. Boys
caught grasshoppers and sold them to
tiie players al S' I" B0 ccnls each. Each
player paid a used stake, ranging from
$1 to #2tJ, into the pool, and the man
whose hopper made the longest jump
captured the pool. On the day before
Christmas It was agreed to celebrate
that holiday with a pool tbe stakes In
which were to lie Jloo for each player.
The terms ware 'play or pay," and at
the Instance of n tierinan professor
who was a superintendent of a leading
mine each inuii WHS allowed to use any
means that he might devise to stimu-late
his grasshopper. The professor
was so full of bis scheme to scien-tifically
capture the 11,000 pool—for
there were ii ntrlea -that be commu-nicated
it to a young assayer who was
not u grasshopper plunger. The pro-fessor
had experimented and ascertain-ed
that a grasshopper that was touch-ed
by a feather dipped In a weak solu-tion
of aqua niimiuiiin would Jump for
his life. The young man also experi-mented,
and as u result be tilled a bot-tle
el the same size and appearance
with cyanide of potassium and man-aged
to substitute It for the other In
the professor's laboratory. The next
day, when the professor after much
boasting about his scientific attain-ments
dipped :i feather In tbe substi-tuted
bottle and touched his Insect with
it, the grasshopper rolled over as dead
as a salt mackerel, amid tbe roars of
the crowd. Mackay's hopper won the
big pool, and two widows, whose hus-bands
bad been killed In the Yellow
Jacket mine, received a gift of $500
each from an unknown source.—San
Francisco Call.

uion addressed to the President and
Board of Directors, which Dr. Jacobs
read. It stated that the writer, who is
one of the leading attorneys of this
county, represented certain stockhold-ers
of the bank aud called attention to
llVe liability for damages for neglig-ence'
.and dereliction of duty in tho
management of the bank of the form-er
Board Cf Directors.
"The lawyef mentioned three spec-ific
Instances of'foas negligence on
their part and intima'ed that a number
of others could be presented when; the
case came to trial. He said' '.hat un-der
the proper legal procedure Jbe
Bank would of necessity have to take"]"
one of two positions, either it would
have to be a party to a suit against
the Board as a Joint plaintiff, or it.
wtiuld have to be a parly defemia.it.
"He presented a full statement of
tbe liabilities of the former Directors,
and in my opinion, made a strong and
convincing case agalnsi them for Urn
grossest kind of negligence and dere-liction
of duty.
After reading the letter to the
Board, , Dr. Jacobs stated that lie had
not come over here to prosecute the
numbers of the old Board, aud handed
tho letter to me, saying: 'Don't you
answer that.'
"Two days later the writer of tho
teller railed and asked what we pro-poeed
to do about the matter. Mr.
Roberts then Bays he wrote to the
President, showing'how lnjurio
would be to the bank for tho Dir{lctoi.
to be a party defendant in a suiti
"I concluded my letter hy ajsylng
that my own personal duty at least
was clear, and that If the Board Should
decide to place the bank In a Oalse at-titude
of defending; excusing and pro-tecting
the old Board of Directors, I
would ask him In that event to pre-sent
my reslgntlon, for no power on
earth could put me in such an atti-tude,
for I would not for an Instant
be regarded as an apologist for or de-fendant
or protector of the old Board
or In any way be put back of the black
work which I know of on the old books
of the bank.
"Last Friday D. Jacobs presented my
letter to the Board and proceeded to
denounce me to the Board In the coars-est
language as a liar, repeating tho
term as In the beginning, because of
a statement in my letterwhich was ab-solutely
true. He then proceeded to
question me as to what evidence there
was on the books, showing dereliction
of duty on tho part of the old Board.
"It was necessary in your interests
as stockholders that I should be guard,
ed in my reply, as two members of the
old Board. Burroughs Mlchener and
Preston W. Hagerty, were present.
"When I refused to resign I was
dismissed.
"I wish to express my opinion that
there wore two weak points In the re-organization
plan. First, the reten-tion
of two members of the old Board
for It can readily be seen that they
would use every effort to. shield and
protect themselves and their fellow
Directors: and, second it was a great
mistake to select a president from an-other
county when there were plenty
of good, strong men in their own
county."

A I.till,- 1fii.ii,' OD What lo Eat
V/hsa to Hat It.
If you eat a hearty dinner at the close
of e.icb day's work, a dinner made up
of food elements which have a chance
to build up the body during tbe night's
resL then you should eat a light break-fast,
so that your new energy may go
Into your morning's work Instead of
being nil used up In digesting your
morning meal.
Bui If you have not eaten the proper
quantity and kind of food for dinner
you must eat a hearty breakfast, or
else feel faint from undernourishmenL
You should not eat meat for break-fast,
for meat should only be eaten at
a time when complete rest can be
taken. If you feel the need of meat
eat eggs Instead or nuts.
You should eat a well cooked cereal,
but know this: The cereals which can
be cooked in three minutes are hardly
worth the eating, because they have so
little nourishment In them. Oatmeal
that has been evoked several hours la
very good. Half cooked oatmeal Is so
poor a lood that It Is almost a poison,
t'ornmeal must also be well cooked, too,
If It Is to do Its best work for tbe hu-man
botly—and soul.
And If you will eat bread for break-fast
eat the Germau zwieback, crisp
rolls or brown toast. Hot bread and
cakes clog your system and will make
you cross and uncomfortable before
noon.
Coffee could be a healthful drink If It
were properly made and not boiled un-til
it Is bitter with tannin. Clear cof-fee,
one cup of It, may have no III ef-fects
on your nerves. Coffee, with
cream, one cup or two cups, will make
you bilious.
But. whatever else you eat or drink,
eat fruit and a great deal of fruit, for
breakfast. If you want a fruit tonic
drink the Juice of an orange and half
a lemon. If you want fruit for a food
eat apples or bunanas. Or If these do
not agree with you ent apple sauce,
cooked prunes, cooked canned fruit.
