Even In this mild winter we have
had cold days, and we may count our-selves
happy If we escape without pro-longed
"cold snaps." When they come,
the housekeeper realizes how fast the
coal pile grows less, and seeks to "in
bine comfort with economy. In this
effort she needs to remember one thing
—heated air rises. If, therefore, she
opens a window at night In her bad-room
the register must be closed, else
the heat finding an opportunity to rise
by the endless draught so created will
be entirely drawn from the other flues,
and the whole house will lose Its com-fortable
temperature. In the morning
It will be very cold, and take hours of
draft on full blast to heat again. The
rule, therefore, must be coltl bedrooms,
but to obtain them close the doors of
the room, shut the register and open
the window. This will cause the flues
to the dining room, parlor and halls to
eend all their heat there, and the morn-ing
will find these apartments comfor-table.
This rule applies equally to the
airing which precedes the bed milking.
and, In general, It must be Insisted up-on
that the one way to make a house
comfortable Is to close the register in
any room where a window Is open—if
only for a few minutes. A little care
and observation will convince any one
of the practical saving in this.
A SWINDLER CAUGHT
For man} weeks past, ninny of our
realdantl havi b i swindled by men
telling f.ike medicine and frequent
warnings have bean published In the
"Home Happenings'' of The Recorder.
PTank Curry, one of the impostors,
was endeavoring to make a sale Sat-urday
night in the store of Daniel
and was caught red banded. He
Offered to sell (wo bottles of medicine
for ilftv "cuts. One was labeled "Kola,
Celery and Pepsin," and the other
"Pure Wild Ch rry.' Frens asked him
why the bottles did not bear revenue
I anil Curry said that they must
have fallen off In his pocket and rum-aged
through bis pockets In search of
them. Freus quietly sent for an offi-cer.
William lleald responded and
placed Curry under arrest He was
given a hearing yesterday afternoon
Magistrate Heywood and had
rery little to say for a medicine agent
Officer Heald testified that the bottle*
bore no stamp and that the prisoner
had no license.
Henry llarrold, who was sent to
Philadelphia to Investigate thegenulne-ness
of the alleged company which
manufactured the goods, said that there
was no such a firm as the "Philadelphia
Wine Tonle Co.." Ht 543 North Twelfth
street This address Is a "furnished
loom" house. Joseph Kelly, bartender
nt the Market House Hotel said that
tin prisoner called there and wanted
to buy empty bottles. Curry admitted
this lilt inferred that he was merely
luting under Instructions. He acknowl-edged
that he bought sugar and molas-ses
and that the medicine was manu-factured
In Conshohocken.
As the evidence was very conclusive.
Magistrate Heywood held Curry under
the following charges:
Selling without a license.
Selling without a revenue stamp.
Obtaining money under false pre-tences.
In default of five hundred dollars
ball he was sent to Norristown Jail.
TALES OF THE TOWN
HAPPENINGS OF LONG AGO GATU
ERED FROM OUR OLDEST
RESIDENTS
One of the strongest men around
here since the time of "Indian 91c*
was Tom Logan who used to live „ut
nenr Harmonville. Tom uaad to carry
trunks, baskets, boxes and all kinds of
bulky objects that arc usually hauled
by express wagons. Lognn's great*
boast was that he was driving a young
horse one day and the poor fellow
stum bled and broke his leg. Throwing
him over his shoulder, he can d the
horse to a veterinary surgeon rind 1. R
it in his care until the leg win s- • One
day Tom was on his way home when he
saw n barrel of flour roll out of a «ir-on
and the horse run away. Seeing
the destination marked upon the barrel
be picked It up and cnrrled It to tin-place
designated and the housekeeper
sent him a hatch of bread made of the
same flour as a reward for his great
feat. A little circus came here one
time and "Tom" was engaged to appear
with them as a strong man. He went
with them as far as All-mown when
he had some trouble about getting hll
week's salary. He took two of their
trained monkeys and sold them for the
price of a quart of whisky and a ticket
to Conshohocken where he wound up
later on thoroughly disgusted with the
life under white tents.

A FAKE REFORMER
To the Recorder: —
The passing of the bill restraining
newspapers from making libellous and
sianderous statements Is really a great
benefit to the Stale There Is one yel-low
journal particularly in Philadel-phia
which makes a practice of fake
morality and attempts to shine as an
Ideal newspapers. By constantly at-tacking
men In public life It Is attempt-ing
to get a reputation for aggressive-ness.
Its despicable tactics have
aroused the hatred of the fair minded
people and the temporary blaze which
it has kindled will undoubtedly die
out as quickly as It was started and re-in.
BS to ashes this great organ of "sen-sationalism."

TEMPLE COLLEGE'S STRIKE
The strike of students at Temple Col-leg.-
organized out of sympathy for
Professor Magee, who was requested to
resign from the chair of English liter-ature,
was nipped In the bud Friday
when Miss Ijiura H. Carnell, the prin-cipal,
suspended the ringleaders of the
movement, Miss Gertrude E. Fagen.
.•IISB Irvu L. Kuter and Miss Mary J.
Maglll.
Miss I-agen's leadership while It last-ed
was Napoleonic. Her persuasive
tongue won student after student for
Professor Magee's course. She would
go Into a classroom, unroll her little
petition to the students and before she
had sung the young instructor's praise
five minutes she would have every sig-nature
In the room.
Miss Fagen has called another meet-ing
of the students for next Thursday
night, hut It Is doubtful whether the
iic, ting will be held. By that time,
the collego authorities think that the
storm will have blown over and the
pupils In Bngllah Litertnre will be hard
at work again under their new Instruc-tor,
Dr. J. Vincent Crowne, who as-s'lincs
charge Monday.
Miss Carnell lectured to Professor
Magee's classes yesterday. There were
fow absentees and no evldenco of a
strike.
Miss Eagan said last night when seen
at her home. 2550 North Sartaln street,
that she had not given up hope In the
cause she has espoused. "They don't
know what a woman can do when she
makes up her mind," she said.
"I shall be heard from some day,"
she added when the question of her fu-ture
work was brought up. Asked If
she was preparing to teach, she said:
"No I nm aiming for something higher
than that. The new woman is bound
to lead in public movements."
Barney Fagan and his two dogs were
great excitement producers here in days
gone by. The animals were ugly spec
Imens of the ferocious bull type and
could whip anything In the dog line for
tulles around. They were named "Jack"
and "Tlge" respectively. Where one-went,
the other would follow. While
Barney was down at the P. & R. station
one day. His two pets were attacked
by a huge mastiff who fought them
both at once and In a short time they
were fit subjects for the coroner. Pa-gan's
rage knew no bounds and he at
once challenged the owner of the mas-tiff
to a finish fight. The master of
the victorious dog only laughed at him
and springing upon the man, Barney
attempted to wipe up the street with
him. Ho reckoned without his host
however, as his opponent picked him
up as if ho were a child and carried
him to the edge of the canal. Kicking,
yelling, squirming, Barney finally apol-ogized
and going home he tied two
pieces of crepe on the door.
Many of our oldest residents who
were up to date In their times remem-ber
Hannah Stevenson a women of
"cullah" and her son Sammy. These
genial negroes conducted what was
known as "Riders Rest" on the Gulf
read near Gulf Mills. A cup of hot
steaming coffee and as much hoe cake
as you could eat for ten cents was the
llberlal offer which gained Hannah a
reputation. The aged cook had the plea-sure
of serving some of the distinguish-ed
men of the country. No matter what
time of the day or night that one would
pass, they'd smell the odor of fragrant
coffee and hoecake. Even If you weren't
hungry the appetizing sent wafted
through the air would make you feel
like eating. When Hannah retired.
Sammy always attended to the hoecake
and coffee,being Instructed by his
mother to make them as good as she
could. Many a sleighing party and
many a buss load of merry makers
have sit about the open grate In Han-nah's
little "Rest" and sang and Joked
between sips and bites to their heart's
content. If you didn't hnve the money,
it didn't matter. You could pay next
time. The old woman Is sadly missed,
and when passing her place It awakens
found memories.

WILMAM HENRY'S
LETTER
INTERESTING GOSSIP AND CRITI-CISMS
FROM THE PEN OF OUR
QUAKER CITY CORRESPON-DENT.
Philadelphia, Feb. 4, 1901
Judge William W. Wiltbank, one of
the associate Justices of Common Pleas
No. I, and who last week was
sitting, as presiding Judge In Criminal
Court No. 1. has aroused such a popu-lai
i' I ling of opposition as few utter-iioiu
tlie Judiciary have done In
- A (iermantown physician
has bet n fined ten dollars for contempt
ut. The doctor's "contempt"
consisted in his being late, because his
s were required at the beside of
a little eight-year-old boy dangerously
III with diphtheria. When these facts
were explained to Judge Wiltbank ha
remitted tin- line but remarked that "It
were better that the patient should die
than that the Commonwealth be held in
i ' apt." These few simple words
Hew like wildfire und on every hand
could be heard expressions,condemning
and criticising the Judge's remarks. On
can hardly believe that any Judge
would place even the dignity of the
court above human life. A physician's
place Is with his patient, no matter
arhat other requirement calls for his
presence. Comment upon the subject
it present may lead to unwise utteran-it
the local physicians will prob-ably
take some action in the matter
and. it may be that Judge Wiltbank
will uive some explanation of his re-marks
which will take from them some
of the sting which now attaches to
them, it docs not seem reasonble that
so learned a Judge as Justice Wiltbank
mean! what he really said.
Is different from these here, lu Kan-sas
no salon is licensed and they vir-tually
occupy a position like our speak
easles. If any of our Eastern women
contemplate emulating Mrs. Nation
they had better tackle the speak easles
for they will surely run Into lots of
trouble If they tackle the saloons, which
here are legalized and protected by the
great arm of the law. Secretary C.lb-boney
of the IJIW and Order Society.
says that In this city alone there ire
over a thousand speak easles as well us
1100 disorderly and bawdy bouses and
2200 policy shops.
ALLEGED THIEF CAPTURED
Like had dollars, all counterfeits of
DeWltt'S Witch Hazel Salve arc worth-less.
The original quickly cures piles,
sons und all skin diseases.
William Neville, W. E. Supple, West
Conshohocken.
Old Ben Doyle, known familiarly by
our early residents prides himself on
being the biggest "fibber" that ever was
In these parts. He had a cat that used
to make itself obnoxious at night by
rendering continuous concerts. Accord-ing
to his own statements he drove to
Chester one day and left the cat lock-ed
In the house of his brother. When
he returned to "Conshy" the puss was
basking in the glow of the open grate
calmly washing its face. To say he
was astounded would be putting it
mildly. About one week later he box-ed
the cat up, drove it to Spring City
and threw It Into a ditch. Next morn-ing
he saw the cat sleeping under the
table.
In sheer desperation he caught the
remarkable puss, sewed her up in a
bag, weighted It with stones and threw
it into the Schtiyikin. when he re-turned
after this eventful trip, he saw
the stubborn feline on the table drink-ing
milk from a pitcher. Shortly after
this "Old Ben" died and the cat un-doubtedly
sits on his grave and sings
midnight psalms to soothe his rest.
THE PROPHET
It's folly to Buffer from that horrible
plague of the night. Itching piles. I lo-an's
Ointment cures, quickly and per-manently.
At any drug store, 60
cents.
THE WINNING MAN
Is usually the one who keeps before
the public eye constantly telling of new
goods and attractive prices. The fel-low
who remains quiet will find that
his business does tho same. As every
good citizen reads his own town paper,
it stands to reason that those who ad-vertise
In It will receive the attention
and finally the patronagPof those near-by.
It stands to reason that this is
true.

by officers Heald and Cour-duff.
According to the evidence, Lyle
dropped the bundle he carried but was
captured by lleald. As Taggart said
that they were all helping a relative to
move no further attention was paid to

A STATEMENT FROM PROF. MAGKi.
To the Recorder:—
There has been a misunderstanding
of my position circulating in tho news-papers,
which I should feel grateful If
The Recorder" would correct. Hindi
utterances ascribed to me as, "I'm the
greatest in the land." "Mine's the i in.
genius," are entirely foreign to my
way of thinking. I never uttered eitfa
BT the one or the other. I shrink from
the blatant tho boastful, the egotistic.
I believe, not In myself, but In the art
that 1 teach and In the authors thai I
love.

That Mrs. Nation has not the en-dorsement
of the Kastern women as a
whole, is evidenced from the published
expressions of women of prominence
connected with temperance matters.
Among the many expressions published
In a New York paper, a day or so ago.
were the following:
Miss Julia Coleman, Secretary of the
Central New York Branch of the Wom-en's
Christian Temperance Union, said:
"1 didn't think such a reform wuve as
that Inaugurated by Carrie Nation will
ever reach New York. There will be
DO saloons smashed or wrecked here by
sensible women."
Rev, Phoebe A. Hanaford said:
"Close the saloons, I say with all my
heart. But not in this way. It IB a
degradation of the sex when a woman
goes out as Mrs. Nation has done. Such
actions will never win our victory."
Miss Ellen A. Miles, one of the first
organizers of the W. C. T. U. said:
"Any woman who should so far forget
herself as Mrs. Nation has done Is not
tit to represent our society. I cannot
too strongly express my indignation at
her action. She will do us a great deal
of harm, I am sure. Demorset Union,
of which I am tho secretary will meet
next Wednesday and we will pass reso-lutions
condemning Mrs. Nation."
Miss Edna M. Townsend, president
of the Mary Towne Hurt Young l'« le's
Branch, said: "I am afraid that Mrs.
Nation's actions are a little too stren-
UOUB for me. They certainly would nev-er
do for New York."
Mrs. Harriet S. Hull, president of the
Lath rap Union—I strongly sympathize
with Mrs. Nation's efforts. I think
that the attention she has attracted to
the non-enforcement of the law will re-sult
In a great upheaval in Kansas. But
while I and my friends can give her
sympathy, such a movement would be
Impossible In New York. Here the sa-loons
are under the law's protection.
Mrs. Mary E. Teats, the National
Purity evangelist who has for years
travelled over the country lecturing on
temperance: "I am heartily in sym-pathy
with Mrs. Nation, and think she
Is doing a great work."

facetiously say of Mrs. Nation:
Minneapolis Times: "The rum.r
that Mrs. Nation Is on the pay roll of
the glass trust Is denied."
Kansas City Star: "It does not seem
to have occurred to Mrs. Carrie Nation
to tear down the Wichita Jail."
Detroit Free Press: "Mrs. Nation
may be preparing to star in "Ten Nights
In a Bar Room."
Peorla (III.) Herald-Transcript: "Mrs
Nation evidently does not share the
popular superstition regarding the 111
luck that follows the breaking of a mir-ror."

wholly cured by seven bottles and am

Look out for your face. Be careful
or you'll find yourself posing as an ad-vertisement
for a patent medicine or a
ciothing house. A fellow with a load-ed
camera has been sneaking around
the town taking people on the sly.
Three women were talking on a corner
yesterday when the Bend leveled his
camera and was Just about to Are. Be-fore
he snapped the shutter, the women
spied him and he lost his subject and
Incidentally his temper. Sometimes
the unfortunate artist gets everything
ready and Just as he thinks he has a
splendid picture he's mistaken. Two
of our pretty girl singers were coming
along Fayette street the other day.
One Is dark, the other light They al-ways
travel together. They stopped to
talk near the post office, when the Bend
spied them. Breathlessly he dashed
across the street, and in his haste to
fasten the camera to the tripod. hiB
lingers got mixed up and the Instru-ment
fell and smashed. The girls look-ed
horrified and they were Just as sorry
as the man. It was bad enough to
break his camera but when the proprie-tor
of a store made him sweep off the
pavement it was more than he could
stand, and hurling his tripod into the
street he quit the town.
RESOLUTION OF RESPECT
We. the Choir of Calvary Church, sad-dened
by the sudden decease of our late
member, Miss Sarah Moore, do hereby
resolve
That In the death of Miss Sarah
Moore, which occured on January 27th,
1901. this Choir of which she was an
active and useful member, mourns the
loss of a devoted and exemplary Chris-tian,
a bright and cheerful companion,
and a swet singer, whose voice, though
lost to us here, is now joining in a
nobler, sweeter song" of the redeemd
ones In glory everlasting.
That our heart-felt sympathy Is heie-by
extended to the sorely stricken
mother, so suddenly bereaved of a be-loved
daughter, and to the Bisters and
brothers, who will sadly miss her. It
will be a comfort for them to find in
the songs of Zlon. which their departed
loved one sang so sweetly here, words
of victory for her and consolation for
them.
That these resolutions be presented
to the family and also published in the
Conshohocken Recorder.
