An order was Issued last Saturday by New York's commissioner of police at the direction of Hayor Gaynor, for bidding the sale at retail of fireworks, Chinese crackers, rockets, blue lights, Roman candles, colored pots, lancewheels and other works of brilliant colored fire" In that city between June lO and July 10. This has come as a disagreeable surprise to the fireworks men, who had supposed from the mayor's previous remarks that he favored an old-fashioned Fourth of July with all Its noise and damage. The crusade for a sane Fourth is gaining headway. The Civic Club of Philadelphia began forming last January a national committee of governors to discuss the abolition of fireworks. About twelve state executives have expressed themselves as favoring the idea. President 'i'aft has Indorsed an anti-noise crusade, but it is not so far-reaching n the other. We have not yet heard that Gov. Deneen has Joined in the movement, but those who know his views are confident that he will take action In time to save his state from the disgrace which the old-fashioned Fourth brings upon It yearly.

MR. KUHN ACCEPTS. If there Is anything which, the Reverend Thomas Kuhn has neglected to place In his indictment of modern society in his notable pump handle excoriation and "down" and "up" exercise of every thing in general and nothing particular; doubtless, without a shadow of a doubt, doubtless the Reverend Mr. Kuhn will supply it In his next issue. Mr. Kuan's bill (already draughted, we take it) including the distribution of manual training schools over the Sixth District and incorporating in it provisions for establishment of an International Peace Tribunal at Abington, is ready to be introduced. . If Aldrich and Cannon oppose this hill or if the nations ot Europe prefer the Hague as a site for the dove of peace to roost in, Mr. Kuhn "once on the floor of the federal congress" will not "cease constantly to contend earnestly on the floor of debate for the establishment .of these and all other measures which are calculated to lead to the peace and domestic tranquility, the prosperity and happiness of all the people of the Sixth District, regardless of nationality, religious cast, social standing or political affiliation, etc., ad infinitum. We had thought that a few gentlemen, such as Senator Beveridge and Theodore Roosevelt had waged a feeble warfare along some of the lines originally thought out by Mr. Kuhn. Senator Beveridge's child labor work and battle against the trusts,, pales into utter insignificance by the side of the program ot Mr. Kuhn. It is only to be wondered that the recent meeting of the democrats In Indianapolis did not propose him for the senatorial foeman of the senior senator of Indiana. The great sacrifice that Mr. Kuhn makes in giving np his present occupation and in offering his body and soul for the securing of turnip seeds for bis district after the patriotic manner of Mr. Korbly, another democratic statesman, remains unique in history and should be rewarded according to bis sincerity. ' Seriously speaking, Mr. Kuhn's experience on the lecture platform will avail him in his endeavor to secure the mere pittance with which we reward bur "pump speakers" through their "ups" and "downs." This Is a poor exchange ($7,500 per annum, traveling expenses, seeds and stationery thrown in) for the removal of Mr. Kuhn from the lecture platform. And if the lecture platform does not aid him In the race for congressman, perhaps'the race for congress will .not have hurt his chances on tha Chautauqua circuit. We consider Mr. Kuhn's chances equal to those of Mr. L. Ert Slack, and that other peerless one from the Pink Mink Marsh. We hope he will receive the nomination, but failing in that, we are glad to have with us (still) the orator and peacemaker, the friend of Thomas Taggart and the whole human race may his bright smile and his "right hand never forget their cunning" (quotation from The Letteriof Acceptance.) Thus -standing hand on heart, with fingers crossed, Mr. Kuhn having promised everything to all and special privilege to none but himself, may indeed not care "whether Mr. Woodfill, Judge Barnard or any one else should be named as his opponent." There was a Snowbird once and Mr. Kuhn has at least that chance. . Mr. Kuhn's sincerity and ability are only equalled by his modesty and absence of mere promises.

A letter received by the railroad commission is to the effect that the citizens of New Castle are to have an answer to their pleas, which have been going up for years, for new railway station facilities at that place.

WOMAN

HUNTS LOST SOU Unable to Find Him in Dayton, Mrs. Kidwell Asks for Employment. DESIRED TO LIVE WITH HIM LAST HEARD OF THE YOUNG MAN HE WAS IN A DAYTON HOSPITAL, BUT ALL TRACE OF HIM IS NOW LOST. (Palladium Special) Dayton, Ohio, April 15. Disappoint ed to the point of distraction an" aged woman applied at the Free Employment Bureau Tuesday in quest of work. The woman gave her name as Mrs. Anna Kidwell, and stated that she bad come to Dayton from her home in Richmond, Ind., to locate her son. She learned in the neighborhood where her son once resided that'he and his wife had become separated, and that the son Albert Kid well, when last heard of. was a patient in the Miami Valley Hospital. Inquiry at the hospital resulted in no information leading to his whereabouts. The mother; having no other near relatives, had intended to make her home with the son, and expected to find him still residing in Dayton. Unable to locate him, she went to the last resort, that of securing a position and a place to stay over night. Super intendent Downing and Clerk Richard son of the Free Employment Bureau got busy and befqre evening had placed the woman in a good family. In the meantime the aged woman grew restless, and leaving the employment bureau, roamed the streets the whole of the afternoon to seek her son. She however returned late in the evening , and was sent to her 'position: ; . The son was formerly employed at the Barney & Smith Car Works, and for a time did odd jobs about the city. He was taken sick a short time ago and removed to the hospital. Since that time his. location cannot be learned.PLAN SPELLING BEES R. J. Aley Proposes Matches . to Begin in the Township Schools. TO DISPROVE OLD IDEA Robert J. Aley, state superintendent of public Instruction, maintains that the spellers in the common schools of today are better spellers than their fathers and mothers ; who are wont to tell the children that the old-fashioned "spelling bees" were wonders in their disclosure of ability to construct words and in an effort, to assert the correctness of his stand Is preparing to have a series of spelling matches at the close of next school year. According to the tentative plan outlined, the matches will start in the township schools. The best speller in every school will be se lected. From these the best speller in the township will be selected for a county contest. From every county the best spellers will be selected for a dis trict contest, and from the best spell ers in every district the best speller in the state will be determined, all tests to be made by the old-fashioned "stand up and spell down" plan. It is the hope of Mr. Aley to take the scheme to the National Education As sociation next year as a contest among the states. In recent spelling tests in the state. pupils of the common schools, successfully spelled approximately five thous and words before being "spelled down," a task of approximately eight hours' duration. None of the fathers and mothers, Mr. Aley said, ever did anything like that. Mr. Aley defends the plan against a charge that it will detract from'work In other branches in the school, " t by saying that where it has been tried the other worH has not been neglected, but that; on the contrary, the general Interest in the entire work of the school has been increased. 7lO SV 1CiJmOSI01.25 Cincinnati Excursion Pennsylvania iis WEXT SUNDAY : Train leaves Richmond. 7 A.

When Southwest Was Desert With the Passing of Old Camp Verde Another Rather Interesting Chapter of History Is Added.

(American News Service) .; San Antonio, Texas, April '13. With the passing of old Camp Verde a rather interesting chapter of the history of the Great Southwest has been reopened. The old camp was for many years both an outpost of civilization and the last port of call of the traveler who braved the dangers of the desert that lay to the west After leaving Camp Verde there was little to be expected, but lack of everything and a plentitude of Indians. Water especially was hard to get; there were no wells, and journeys, therefore, had to be timed andjrouted so as to allow for frequent touch with the few rivers to be met on a westward trip. Those were the days when the Llanc Estacado was a thing of real meaning and when it extended clear through to the Rio Grande. But a route to the Pacific slODe through Texas. New Mexico .and Arizona was a necessity from many points of view, not least of all from military considerations, and fqr this reason the United States government made every effort to establish and maintain one. But the task was so great that it seemed entirely too much for the horse or mule. Animals of burden, however, were absolutely necessary to the traveler in those parts and for this reason the camel was decided upon. , There are a few people who are ac quainted with this experiment, unique as it is in American history. The im-i portation of the animals and the build ing of. a suitable caravansary were undertaken simultaneously by. the government. Old Camp Verde was built at a cost of $14.000 a sum amounting to about $00,000 in present equivalents. It was constructed ot stone and concrete with walls two feet thick and strong enough to defy the Indians. Lumber used in it had to be brought from the port of Indianola, which shortly afterwards was swallowed up by the Gulf and which today is merely a memory. . . ; i The caravansary was hardly completed when the camels arrived. An odd bunch they were. There were freighters from Asia . Minor and dromedary from Egypt and Arabia. Newspapers were scarce In those days and the people of many a Texas town gaped in wonderment as the strange procession passed them. But with the camels, the languor of the Orient seemed to have been imported, which, added to the manana'o! Mexico, resulted in the camels getting to Camp Verde and no. further. Caravans crossing the great American desert were never seen and the camels literally eat their, heads off by browsing on Texas mesquite, white thorn and cactus. Up to a few years ago there could still be seen at .Camp Verde an Egyptian shaduf that hauled the water from a well, though the bucket on the beam had long gone to pieces. To this degre the caravan route had been orientalized. Of course, the camel drivers were Americans. There were ten of them under the overlordship of a camelmaster, who never did more than diiw his monthly salary of $100, a remuneration which had to be promised BeTatfaaTiM DMf or parOatlr f ile awy bow ante a TM trial of Imnortmt wmr tat tha mmt fortttmmk. m-Ai artaauiia o tfa. mm DasMtl f aatftfitBi t i mi fag tt r-fr u la uaaaallr mj aandara teaar, tuudcfcttr aad Cran qr aawui darieaa aa trunpatt, aboa tha flta ea tb aar, aad walcfe, tta Imtant It tm applied. mtagnUU tba aaaad waraa is filfna i In foUamjiMta. ft and mlma ma nn..rii.rT. mm jfa f rieaUa cscrcfeel tt vital pmrU Chas.

one,, too, which he is still drawing according to last accounts. For over ten years the camels remained at Camp Verde in idylic idleness, and then were sold to men in Mexico and California, The caravansary itself served as a prison for federal soldiers during the civil war and for a short time afterwards, served as a bulwark against the Indians. After that it fell to pieces. In 1870 it was! formally abandoned by the United States government and for a short term a force of Texas rangers were stationed there. Today Camp Verde is a thing of the past and its site is no more on the edge of the desert. Prospering communities 'have sprung up around and far beyond it. All that remains are a few smoke blackened walls for on March 20 of this year fire destroyed It, incidentally demanding a victim in the person of Thomas Blair of Hamilton, Ohio, who was. sleeping in one of the rooms. . The first commanding officer of Camp Verde -was Captain Innis L. Palmer, afterwards general In whose memoirs may be found the account of the most interesting experiment ever made by the United States government that of establishing a caravan route across the American desert. Among the variant spellings - of names perhaps the most remarkable instance occurs in a deed of the year 1587 relating to the property of the Raleigh family. It bears .the signatures of Raleigh, Sr., and his two sons, of which one has special interest as being the earliest known signature of Sir Walter. By the father the name is written "Raleigh," by the elder son "Rawleigh." and by Sir Walter is written "Rauleygh." By Queen Elisabeth it was written. "Rawley," as then pro nounced.
