Is there anything improper about a pair of suspenders?

There is an unwritten law, that if yon desire to go without a OOal in hot weather, you must wear a belt with your trousers, and omit the useful but unsightly suspen-ders.

Subscribe for the RECORDER A COW TALE AN AMATEUR AGRICULTURIST WITn THE PINK SHIRT AND THE BULL For a day's quietude and rest there is no better one to \isit than ■ friend who lives on a farm. This was the thought of n young lady who lives mi n farm near Conshohocken. Bo Invi-tations were extended in a few of her lady and gentlemen friends In come out from the hot. mucky atmosphere uf the city nnd enjoy the beauties of the country. Last Sunday, the chosen few jour-neyed to the farm, an.i Immediately upon their arrival, one of the gentle-men being an amateur agriculturalist fm every city man who knows thai milk Is not a compound Ot chalk, wat-er and ninrsh-grass, thinks himself capable of running a farm, went to th. barn, with the rest of the male con-tingent to explain the ways of the pa ciflc cow. After passing Judgment mi the blindle, the Jersey and the inuby cows, he entered the stall of a fine Inrge. beast which be immediately pro-nounced as fine a specimen of a (lern-sey milker as he bad ever seen. But the lienst taking exceptions «> the young man's remarks nnd his pink shirt, for the beautiful "Qernsey" was a good healthy Montgomery County bull, twisted and pulled al bis baiter strap until It broke and he was at lib-erty. Hacking out of his stall, with a roar he sent the cityites Hying from the barn, the bull In hot pursnt. Out into the meadow they run the bull be-ing a close second until the boys jumped a nearby fence. Then the bull got mad. Missing an opportunity of assisting his master's guests over tie fence greatly offended his bullish dig-nity. And after ronring and laughing and glaring nt the ones on the safe side of the fence, he spied several ath letle girls—the ladies of the party wading In the brook, which runs through the meadow, with a bellow. nnd lowered head he made for them Tne girls bearing the noise and seeing the bull with the boys in hot pursuit. scrambled out of the creek and climbed lip n nearby tree With the agility of acrobats, anil this position gave them grand stand scats to witni ss a line steeple chase. On enme the hull, the boys chasing him hard with clubs and stones, pitch-forks nnd hay rakes, and every other sort of weapon nnd yelling like a lot of Commanche Indians or a crowd of Chinese Boxers, who had captured a mlssonnry. Across the creek, up through n field of line young corn, leaving destruction in his path; up the lane to the woodshed, ihe door of which being open, the now thoroughly frightened bull sought refuge iii the shed. Now all hands were in a di-lemma, bull and visitors. The sled was so small the bull could not turn around to get out; be was greatly ir-ritated and true to his bullish Instinct, he began butting. He butted a dozen setting of eggs; a Jack horse; a tool cnest could not withstand his attacks and he was just about to tear out the walls when some farmers came to And t..e cause of such sabbath desecra-tion. They succeeded in quieting the bull but could not turn him around and tin bull showed his desire not to lie back-ed out in such an emphatic manner that it was necessary to tear out half a side of the shed, and keep the visi-tors out of sight, before he was safely chained in the barn. The amateur agriculturist, still In-sists he knows Something about farms and bulls in particular, In fact he ad-mit! he learned more about live stock In one day than he ever knew before. In future, when the city folks wish to spend a quiet day. they will not come to the country with an amateur agriculturalist who wears a pink shirt nnd Insists on proving his knowledge of things rural. WANAMAKER DENIES REPORT A HORSE'S DASH AT NIGHT From our Hose cien Correspondent: While ridng along the river road late last night, Harry Hunting of Mann-yunk was passed by a maddened horse pulling a road cart which contained a young woman utterly helpless. Putting on an extra spurt Hunting wns soon racing neck and neck with the runaway. At a sharp turn in the road, he caught the horse by the bridle and the sudden stop threw him from his wheel which clattered down over steep embankment, but .nought the animal to a standstill. The woman was soon revlvpd by n drink of water and after the horse was smithed and quieted, Hunting drove tne team to the young woman's home In Ardmore, where her father offered him a reward hut the young man merely accepted the cost of his wheel, DeWltt's Little Barly Risers nre fa-mous little pills for liver and bowel troubles. Never gripe. H. Maxwell Harry nnd W. R. Sup-pi ep, West Conshohocken. John Wanameker came in Newport, mi Wednesday directly from Cape May. N. .1.. and said that lie fell as well is ever. The report that he was dying was circulated by some lying corres-pondent who wishes to create a sen-sation. The ex-Post Master-General started yesterday for an extended trip through New Hampshire and the mountains and will return to Philadel-phia iii a few days. Mr. Wnnamnkcr looks thoroughly corroborate his state-ment and his obituary will evidently not be written for many dnys to come. WAS HE MURDERED? Coroner McOlathery held an in-quest on Tuesday on the death of I homes Kelly, who was found dead on the Trenton cut-off Railroad on Fri-day. Tin evidence was not sufficient to prove that Kelley was killed by being shuck by a train, although his body eras fearfully mangled. No train was found or has yet been found thai Struck the dead man or can any train in found that run that night the crew Of which remembers striking anything .in the tracks. Qeorge W. Valentine was the fust So1 lie stilled thai he Is the con-ductor of a passenger train. He was notified at Fort Hill shortly after five o'clock Friday morning to look out for Ihe body Of B dead ninn near lllue Bell crossing. He picked Keller's body up at thai plnce and took it to Wlllte-ninrsh. James u. Palmer, a Bremen on the Trenton Cut-Off, living at St. Thomas, with whom Kelley boarded, testified that Keii.y i, ii his piaee on Thursday night at the usual time, about 8 o'clock with bis lantern lighted and Started up the tracks. He saw him light the signal lights and then con-tinue his duty by going up the tracks. He was perfectly sober when be left the bouse, lie framed Kelley to be i an fni according to instructions on Wednesday. fin Sunday morning he visited a blacksmith simp above lllue Hell cross-ing and spoke to several colored men who spoke to Kelley nt 9.20 o'clock on Thursday night sad they were the last persons so far as known who snw Kel-ley alive. Frank Btreeper of Norristown Bre-men on a freight train on the Cut-off, testified thai ins train passed the spot between B.10 and 3.20 every night and thai he had I n 111 the habit of ball-ing Kel|,.y every night, but on Thurs-day night he did not see nor hear any-thing of him although he wns looking for him as the train passed Keller's unite. Not a light wns seen of any kind except the usual signal lights. Mr. Neimeyer, superintendent of the road stated thai be made a futile In-ition to And out if any engineer remembered having struck a man that night at that place. Bach engineer slated that he noticed nothing unu-sual. When found Kelleys clothing had 16.60 in the pockets and the body was horribly mangled. lb ily plausible story as to the manner Of his death, Is that he fell asleep and while silting on the tracks was stunk by an engine while his body shielded the light from his lan-tern. The body was found on the south side of the East bound track and the lantern with the wire guard and top broken was found lying be-tween the rails of the east bound track. The jury render the following ver-dict: Thomas Kelley came to his death from injuries received by being run over by a train on the Trenton Cut-off Railroad near lllue Hell on Thursday evening. July 19. We exonerate the railroad company from all blame. WEST CONSHOHOCKEN THE DOINGS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE BOROUGH ACROSS THE RIVER —Hev. c. vv.

I'o the Editor of The Recorder: Nearly every day I am annoyed by orcular distributors who ring the bell and fill the entry with their bargain prices. I often sweep the entry In the morning sad after completing the work up stairs find the hall littered again with these destestable dodgers I really wish you would call the atten-tion of the authorities to this nuisance and oblige n SUBSCRIBER. MILK GOES UP IN PRICE Recent boi a ml dry weather all over Hie Slate has caused a scarcity of milk and Ihe product has gone up In price in the Wholesale market Hi cents n can making a forty-quart can cost $1.40 in-stead of $1.80, Ihe ruling price early In the month. Should existing weather conditions continue there is certain to be another advance, which is likely to affect the retail markets and be fell by families who use a quart or two a day. As yet I In re is no danger of any-thing like a milk fuinine, and the pri-ces in Conshohocken are 0 nnd 7 cents a quart There is one denier however. who sells it at five cents. The scarcity Is caused by several things. In the first place, cows like human beings, do not attend so strict-ly to business when Ihe days nre hot and humid. They produce less milk. especially as the pastures dry up, and they have to travel further for their necessary sustenance. Then, loo. the demand increases greatly In the cities. When the weather gets hot more | - pie lost appetite tor solid food and stay themselves with milk, and there Is al-so a tremendous quantity used up in making Ice cream during every hot wave Prices have also been better than usiinl for both butter nnd ol se, and many farmers hnve of late been finding it more profitable to sell their milk to the factories turning out these products than to ship It to the I'll in - delphiil market. The surplus milk market Is a fair barometer of the trade, Surplus milk is milk thai dealers bring to the city, and when it reaches Philadelphia llnd will not be needed to supply their trade, ruder nnrinnl conditions this would be disposed of to others In the business for about the regular price. but last week all that was offered was eagerly taken at JH a can, nnd in some cases more was bid. If the price increnses in Philadel-phia it is necessarily put up in Con-shohocken. If WS have more rnln there will be no (ear of fnmlne, but If the dry hot weather of this month keeps up in August, Conshohocken housewives "ill pay more for milk. William D. Valentine, proprietor ot the I i lames Hotel, Reading, and Mrs. Mary (i. Beohler, of Plymouth town-ship were married Tuesday evening nt Heading by Itcv. P. K .llunlziiiger. at his parsonage, A reception followed in the St. .lames Hotel, at which over one hundred guests were present. A line dinner was served in honor of the event.

Barnard Dietrich, of Mont Clare, was seriously Injured. Falling while jumping on a train at Exeter. Joseph lluis, a silver-plater, of Cincinnati. O., sustained injures Hint caused his removal to Pottstown Hos-pital. To the Editor of The Recorder: Will yon kindly insert something in your paper about the detestable print-ed circular nulsnnce. No matter how many times I sweep the hallway, I al-ways find It tilled with papers contain-ing advertisements. They sometimes blow out on the steps and make the front of the house look as If no housekeeper resided In It. I do wish council would do something in regard to this matter. M. L. T. HUSBAND HATES DODGERS. To the Editor of The Recorder: Plense spare n little space to help suppress the dodger nuisnnee. Our house continually presents a most ne-glected appearance, with fluttering pa-pers on the sidewalks and steps. I think Council should tnke this matter in hand and prohibit this annoyance.

TRAINMEN HAVE NAR-ROW ESCAPES One of the most destructive freight wrecks that has ever oeciired around • ,,s part of the country! occured aliout Mil on Thursday evening when the iisi wheel on one of the forward cars broke, wrecking twenty-three enrs and ...ock.ng all four trucks nenr Wayne. The train wan an extra freight of twenty-nine cars loaded with "soft greennge conl, which left Ilurrishiirg nt 6.30 on Thursday morning. The point nt which the wreck occured Is on a down grade, and the train wns go-ing nt n fast rate of speed, ns nbout B half mile below an up grade starts wnlofa is one of the steepest hills nlong the Pennsylvania road. Several minutes previous to the wreck one of the liiakemen noticed a little girl walking along the railroad and waving her hands In n frantic manner, He Immediately looked over. tanking that they bad probably run over some one when he noticed that the train was rocking in n dreadful manner. He tried to jump, but owing to the motion of the trnin it wns Im-possible. By this time H. Pnyne the front brakesman, had discovered the break. hia car was pitched off the track and he wns thrown out. He had n most miraculous escape from denth. In fnll- Ing he landed on his hack. The cars were piling up all around him. and he had to crawl on his knees for the length of several cars to keep clear of falling ears. The rear brakeman. John C. Condrum. was thrown out. hut for-tunately was not seriously injured. ill the crew speak in the highest terms of the bravery of the little girl who first called their attention to the breakage, ns she stood her ground while the ballast was pitched all about her. Ilnrgess Todd has signed the ordi-nance passed by Norristown Council of three weeks ago, to prevent the depos it of offensive mntter and obstructions in highways and on prlvntr property, nnd to regulate the public distribution or sample drugs, medicines nnd med-icated preparations. —Perklomen Creek Is dally the scene of Ashing pintles along Ita hanks. —John Suniack fell al Hoyersford anil broke his thigh. Subscribe for THE RECORDER. SOCIALISM To the Recorder: A recent editorial in the Recorder told of the nction of Corporntions that is helping the growth of socialism. This growth is even more wonderful than the readers of The Recorder have knowledge. Bvery election shows the silent growth of this vote In Mark Hanna-land. Prom the country, town and City the increase is rising like the flood that is to sweep ihe country. Not«reat Sports followed by an ebb.lndicatlveof spasmodic, uncertain fountains, but the steady, determined rising that makes you feel that dams and barriers are of no nvail. It is the little cloud In the canopy, so small that it attracts the attention of but the few mariners— what Bmneror William snw nnd what disturbed him so much. But it comes nearer and longer, keeps coming, ob-scuring all other questions. It will be in everybody's eye In the United States In the next live years. For years it cut no llgure In Ihe electorate—not much yet—but now It Is electing a council-man here, a mayor there, and the vote increases where there was no In-dication of Its presence. It never goes back. A socialist once a socialist al-ways. You never see soenillsts voting first this party and then that. He votes his sentiments every time nnd every-where he has a chance. He is always active, always aggressive always cam-pnlgning. Others campaign about elec-tion time, but the socialist is never still. You will find him preaching his doctrine the day after election just the sume ns he did the day liefore. Every day thousands are converted, the camp of the enemy Is being tampered with, but the enemy never wins one of the converts back. It Is a one-sided game. They lose all the time—socialism wins an the time. It gains in Increased per-centage. It gains everywhere. It knows no boundary lines thnt tells where this, that or the king, potentate or plutocracy rules. It carrlcB the same message of Peace, Plenty and Pleasure to nil the children of men. It Is not only the hope of Ihe world, but It is the goal to which every human association Is tending. The future is as certainly ours as the day follows night Socialists nor non-socialists could not stop It If they would; they can only retard or facilitate. Social-ism is the next step in the upward movement of the human family. SOCIALIST. Subscribe for THE RECORDER.

Subscribe for the RECORDER A COW TALE AN AMATEUR AGRICULTURIST WITn THE PINK SHIRT AND THE BULL For a day's quietude and rest there is no better one to \isit than ■ friend who lives on a farm. This was the thought of n young lady who lives mi n farm near Conshohocken. Bo Invi-tations were extended in a few of her lady and gentlemen friends In come out from the hot. mucky atmosphere uf the city nnd enjoy the beauties of the country. Last Sunday, the chosen few jour-neyed to the farm, an.i Immediately upon their arrival, one of the gentle-men being an amateur agriculturalist fm every city man who knows thai milk Is not a compound Ot chalk, wat-er and ninrsh-grass, thinks himself capable of running a farm, went to th. barn, with the rest of the male con-tingent to explain the ways of the pa ciflc cow. After passing Judgment mi the blindle, the Jersey and the inuby cows, he entered the stall of a fine Inrge. beast which be immediately pro-nounced as fine a specimen of a (lern-sey milker as he bad ever seen. But the lienst taking exceptions «> the young man's remarks nnd his pink shirt, for the beautiful "Qernsey" was a good healthy Montgomery County bull, twisted and pulled al bis baiter strap until It broke and he was at lib-erty. Hacking out of his stall, with a roar he sent the cityites Hying from the barn, the bull In hot pursnt. Out into the meadow they run the bull be-ing a close second until the boys jumped a nearby fence. Then the bull got mad. Missing an opportunity of assisting his master's guests over tie fence greatly offended his bullish dig-nity. And after ronring and laughing and glaring nt the ones on the safe side of the fence, he spied several ath letle girls—the ladies of the party wading In the brook, which runs through the meadow, with a bellow. nnd lowered head he made for them Tne girls bearing the noise and seeing the bull with the boys in hot pursuit. scrambled out of the creek and climbed lip n nearby tree With the agility of acrobats, anil this position gave them grand stand scats to witni ss a line steeple chase. On enme the hull, the boys chasing him hard with clubs and stones, pitch-forks nnd hay rakes, and every other sort of weapon nnd yelling like a lot of Commanche Indians or a crowd of Chinese Boxers, who had captured a mlssonnry. Across the creek, up through n field of line young corn, leaving destruction in his path; up the lane to the woodshed, ihe door of which being open, the now thoroughly frightened bull sought refuge iii the shed. Now all hands were in a di-lemma, bull and visitors. The sled was so small the bull could not turn around to get out; be was greatly ir-ritated and true to his bullish Instinct, he began butting. He butted a dozen setting of eggs; a Jack horse; a tool cnest could not withstand his attacks and he was just about to tear out the walls when some farmers came to And t..e cause of such sabbath desecra-tion. They succeeded in quieting the bull but could not turn him around and tin bull showed his desire not to lie back-ed out in such an emphatic manner that it was necessary to tear out half a side of the shed, and keep the visi-tors out of sight, before he was safely chained in the barn. The amateur agriculturist, still In-sists he knows Something about farms and bulls in particular, In fact he ad-mit! he learned more about live stock In one day than he ever knew before. In future, when the city folks wish to spend a quiet day. they will not come to the country with an amateur agriculturalist who wears a pink shirt nnd Insists on proving his knowledge of things rural. WANAMAKER DENIES REPORT A HORSE'S DASH AT NIGHT From our Hose cien Correspondent: While ridng along the river road late last night, Harry Hunting of Mann-yunk was passed by a maddened horse pulling a road cart which contained a young woman utterly helpless.

Coroner McOlathery held an in-quest on Tuesday on the death of I homes Kelly, who was found dead on the Trenton cut-off Railroad on Fri-day. Tin evidence was not sufficient to prove that Kelley was killed by being shuck by a train, although his body eras fearfully mangled. No train was found or has yet been found thai Struck the dead man or can any train in found that run that night the crew Of which remembers striking anything .in the tracks. Qeorge W.

He was notified at Fort Hill shortly after five o'clock Friday morning to look out for Ihe body Of B dead ninn near lllue Bell crossing. He picked Keller's body up at thai plnce and took it to Wlllte-ninrsh. James u. Palmer, a Bremen on the Trenton Cut-Off, living at St. Thomas, with whom Kelley boarded, testified that Keii.y i, ii his piaee on Thursday night at the usual time, about 8 o'clock with bis lantern lighted and Started up the tracks. He saw him light the signal lights and then con-tinue his duty by going up the tracks. He was perfectly sober when be left the bouse, lie framed Kelley to be i an fni according to instructions on Wednesday. fin Sunday morning he visited a blacksmith simp above lllue Hell cross-ing and spoke to several colored men who spoke to Kelley nt 9.20 o'clock on Thursday night sad they were the last persons so far as known who snw Kel-ley alive. Frank Btreeper of Norristown Bre-men on a freight train on the Cut-off, testified thai ins train passed the spot between B.10 and 3.20 every night and thai he had I n 111 the habit of ball-ing Kel|,.y every night, but on Thurs-day night he did not see nor hear any-thing of him although he wns looking for him as the train passed Keller's unite.

When found Kelleys clothing had 16.60 in the pockets and the body was horribly mangled. lb ily plausible story as to the manner Of his death, Is that he fell asleep and while silting on the tracks was stunk by an engine while his body shielded the light from his lan-tern. The body was found on the south side of the East bound track and the lantern with the wire guard and top broken was found lying be-tween the rails of the east bound track.

MILK GOES UP IN PRICE Recent boi a ml dry weather all over Hie Slate has caused a scarcity of milk and Ihe product has gone up In price in the Wholesale market Hi cents n can making a forty-quart can cost $1.40 in-stead of $1.80, Ihe ruling price early In the month. Should existing weather conditions continue there is certain to be another advance, which is likely to affect the retail markets and be fell by families who use a quart or two a day. As yet I In re is no danger of any-thing like a milk fuinine, and the pri-ces in Conshohocken are 0 nnd 7 cents a quart There is one denier however. who sells it at five cents. The scarcity Is caused by several things. In the first place, cows like human beings, do not attend so strict-ly to business when Ihe days nre hot and humid. They produce less milk. especially as the pastures dry up, and they have to travel further for their necessary sustenance. Then, loo. the demand increases greatly In the cities. When the weather gets hot more | - pie lost appetite tor solid food and stay themselves with milk, and there Is al-so a tremendous quantity used up in making Ice cream during every hot wave Prices have also been better than usiinl for both butter nnd ol se, and many farmers hnve of late been finding it more profitable to sell their milk to the factories turning out these products than to ship It to the I'll in - delphiil market. The surplus milk market Is a fair barometer of the trade, Surplus milk is milk thai dealers bring to the city, and when it reaches Philadelphia llnd will not be needed to supply their trade, ruder nnrinnl conditions this would be disposed of to others In the business for about the regular price. but last week all that was offered was eagerly taken at JH a can, nnd in some cases more was bid. If the price increnses in Philadel-phia it is necessarily put up in Con-shohocken. If WS have more rnln there will be no (ear of fnmlne, but If the dry hot weather of this month keeps up in August, Conshohocken housewives "ill pay more for milk. William D.

Several minutes previous to the wreck one of the liiakemen noticed a little girl walking along the railroad and waving her hands In n frantic manner, He Immediately looked over. tanking that they bad probably run over some one when he noticed that the train was rocking in n dreadful manner. He tried to jump, but owing to the motion of the trnin it wns Im-possible. By this time H.

Subscribe for THE RECORDER. SOCIALISM To the Recorder: A recent editorial in the Recorder told of the nction of Corporntions that is helping the growth of socialism. This growth is even more wonderful than the readers of The Recorder have knowledge. Bvery election shows the silent growth of this vote In Mark Hanna-land. Prom the country, town and City the increase is rising like the flood that is to sweep ihe country. Not«reat Sports followed by an ebb.lndicatlveof spasmodic, uncertain fountains, but the steady, determined rising that makes you feel that dams and barriers are of no nvail. It is the little cloud In the canopy, so small that it attracts the attention of but the few mariners— what Bmneror William snw nnd what disturbed him so much. But it comes nearer and longer, keeps coming, ob-scuring all other questions. It will be in everybody's eye In the United States In the next live years. For years it cut no llgure In Ihe electorate—not much yet—but now It Is electing a council-man here, a mayor there, and the vote increases where there was no In-dication of Its presence. It never goes back. A socialist once a socialist al-ways. You never see soenillsts voting first this party and then that. He votes his sentiments every time nnd every-where he has a chance. He is always active, always aggressive always cam-pnlgning. Others campaign about elec-tion time, but the socialist is never still. You will find him preaching his doctrine the day after election just the sume ns he did the day liefore. Every day thousands are converted, the camp of the enemy Is being tampered with, but the enemy never wins one of the converts back. It Is a one-sided game. They lose all the time—socialism wins an the time. It gains in Increased per-centage. It gains everywhere. It knows no boundary lines thnt tells where this, that or the king, potentate or plutocracy rules. It carrlcB the same message of Peace, Plenty and Pleasure to nil the children of men. It Is not only the hope of Ihe world, but It is the goal to which every human association Is tending. The future is as certainly ours as the day follows night Socialists nor non-socialists could not stop It If they would; they can only retard or facilitate. Social-ism is the next step in the upward movement of the human family. SOCIALIST. Subscribe for THE RECORDER. |
