"Hud you heard of the recent migratory movements of the revenue officers?" asked a politician last night at the lloteritprkeley, one whose knowledge extends prStty well over the stale. "Well, It is a fact that all the western men are getting ready to migrate. That Is to say, all those who are so unfortunate as to have positions on thu other and fatal side of the ridge. It Is un-qVratiNid (hat Congressman Blackburn Is the mainspring of the movement. That he went to Commissioner Yerkes a short time ago and told the commissioner that too muny western men were being sent Into his territory by Collector Harklns and that If the Importation did me l-liiic sprtnd till oug Imiit the tursl distrli'ts, the rimil demand fur lty luxuries Is sit-aillly lncreasli.g.

This Is one of the ieuMiirm that much of the former trade of the rural mer- h.snt has left him; because under the xistlng aiitl'iuated methods of truna- loitailou, he cannot adapt hmisMlf in the in-sent demands of an advancing ivllization. Suppose there is a (Viiiund for HkIiI kid gloves or shoes, for which the style changes ev-try season as every farmer's wife and daughter knows who studies the niag- usinei. of the day; this is stock that quickly depreciates in value. I The country merchant may have perhaps learned this through i experience, he may have made an effort to keep step with the times under the present transportation facilities, (or would it be betier to say the lack of wh'-n he was forced to. order a larger quantity than he was able to dispose of, or iie at such an added cost for transportation that he was unable to sell at tne price quoted by the city merchant.

This condition of affairs could be remedied to a very large extent by the Inauguration of the domestic parcels post; the fact of the matter Is that the small merchant will be benefitted when It becomes known that one can Instruct his nearest or' favor ite nore tc order from the city, by pure) post the article needed. This will result In large profits and an lii-creare In trade. The merchant will be more likely to put In new articles from time to time when he tin Is out ll.st he can order his goods in mall quantities and have them liven him without a transportation bill that Is often higher than the original cost of the goods. The country jnerchant of today has, In many Instances, to go from five to 110 miles to the nearest express olllce to get his goods. He has to pay exorbl-tat express rates whenu he does get them and the result Is that any feeling of enterprise that he might have lownrd the extension of trade Is killed at Ibe outset, because he Is afraid to judcrtake the expense consequent upon such a measure.

With a parcels post system In operation the largest wholesale houe, would carry his stock of those articles that cannot profitably be kept In stock In a countiy titore, upon which he could draw as demand requires and receive them by quick mall. For the reason given above II is i ay to see that there Is no real tau.ie for the bugaboo that Is held up before the countiy merchant of a possible Ions of trade, but that it is used as was the old bugaboo of childish days, to frighten him so that he will n( Join In the demand for the establishment of a parcels post.

littsburj, July 27. At McKeesport Intense excitement prevails over the fact that many guards have been sent into the Demmler tin plate mills and report that arrangements have been i-ompleted to start the work with non union men Monday. It Is said that Inasmuch as the men struck in epite of ajicale agreement, the company la through with the Amlgamated associ ation, and would resume as swon a men could be secured. Percy Bonner, manager of the Monessen plant, known a a successful strike breaker, Is to take charge of the mill. So ominous 1 the situation that Rev.

Stuart Sharp hurried to this city to beg the tin plate company officials not to attempt to start the mills as blodshed would sure ly follow. The situation at the Dewese wood plant is also more Interesting, as the management of the work have an nounced their Intention to start plant with non-unlorl men In a very few days, and the police department of McKees port will be looked to to protect the new, workmen. Manager Samuel L. Cooper of the wood plant ay partly In reply to the edict issued by Mayor Black of McKeesport that the company would get no assistance from the McKeesport police department should they decide to tart the plant: "We are going to start up within the next few day and will look tc the authorities of McKeesport for assistance. Should the men be Interfered with, we will Insist on the police of McKeesport doing their duty.

If Mayor Black should parry out the lines laid down In his statement, we will sue him and the city of McKeesport for the Dewee wood people are heavy tax payer In the city and must be protected. No Amalgamated people will hereafter be employed at our mill."

72 27.e6 l.H Tht Koch Sensation. Apparently a new period In the medical treatment of tuberculosis has de veloped In succession to that lnaugu rated by I. Koch only 11 years ago. It was then, in 1W, that the great German bacteriologist disclosed the exist ence of a tuberculosis or phthisis germ, and perfectly dewrlbird It, Hubsequent- ly others came to the conclusion that the human and bovine tuberculosis were one and the rime thing and that a case of human tuberculosis could be a means of communicating the germ of the disease to rattle and that the germ of the bovine disease could be transnvltted to human beings. lr Koch now declares that the human and bovine forms of the disease are differ ent, and that the human being and th row are mutually immune.

If he Is correct, his alleged discovery must prove most Important. Indeed, the, de gree of Its value can hardly be over calculated. He will have freed medl cal science from the labor of flghjlng tuberculosis whore It rma been to be almost unconquerable and dl reeled Its quest of the cause of the dl ease and Its spread In the human race Into a relatively confined area. tr. Koch's eminence as a bacterlolo gist Is a very strong argument for the acceptance of his announcement.

His opinion In any branch of bai'terlolngl cal research will weigh against actual discoveries by less famous men. Hut he does not try to win favor for his theory by the mest argument from au thority. He present perfectly legit! mate evidence of the correctness of bis Views. He says he has tested the rela tlve capability for Infection or both the germ of human tuberculosis and that of bovine tuberculosis and that he lands on the results of his works. In the rase of human germ he utilise post-mnriem examinations to secure his evidence, and of course it will be seen that he could not afford to test Ills theory on living bodies.

The mer cantlle Importance of the alleged dls t'overy Is riot less conspicuous than that of' the costly slaying of cattle, which has gone on for 10 years to pre vent their communicating their germs to human beings. Hundreds of thous a nds of animals have been condemned on that account. Inasmuch us veterinary surgeon may hereafter, granting tht the Koch discovery Is real, limit their search for cures of bovine tuber-rulosls to trV same extent that the regular physicians may for those of the human djsease, that sacrifice may no longer be necessary. The Parcelt Post. thief argument that has been urged against the Introduction of that n.uch to be desired postal improvement a domestic parcels post, Is that it will hurt the small merchant, by diverting trade from htm to the large trade center.

There Is no reason hy any one be misled by this fallacious argument. The small merchants of foreign countries tlnd that parcels post Is a great trade promoter; why should It not prove to be the same In the I'nlted Wtates? It Is a fact that the country merchant needs all the aid that can be given him by the government, for much of his old-time trade has alreiwly left him for the city stores. I'aicel post will prove the greatest aid to him In nanln securing and holding this trade. Conrtltlcns of life In the rural district have changed materially during tht past 10 or 15 year. The causes for this are many and various.

In tlmi-s past, the wife of a farmer, In ftlrly well-to-do circumstances was content with a gown made of homespun and sewn by hand, shoes made by th village cobbler, a slat sunbon-wt and nature's tan for gloves; today he comes In constant contact with her rlty titters, who are every year Invading the country homes In search n( rest, recreation and diversion; these city sister take along their summer wardrobe and their city Ideas, alt of which are first th admiration then the envy and as soon a possible the adoption of the farmer" wife.

The home Is supported by taxation, and all records of committment and In denture are kept by both the board of managers and the county officials, each set if books being audited and balanced at the end of each year, lills are paid by drafts on the loilTify. and no trouble has ever arise concerning them, the only thing re- quired by the county being that strict economy be practiced by those In charge uf the establishment.

When children are applied for, the character of those applying Is looked into, and the condition governing the child's liulcntuic to them are a good school education, wholesome food and neat clothing, and that they should be taught to work. If the child docs not prove satisfactory lie Is to be returned to the Institution and the light Is reserved by the management nt any time and without question to take the chilil from its foster parents by the manager of the home. This latter is done to prevent the adopters from holding the child under conditions not favorable to its well being. Success has followed the efforts of the workers for the good ot the waifs. About 800 have been sheltered by the horn- slnire its founding and very few deaths hnc occurred.

The average cost of keeping the children is per month, and when It Is remembered that this amount pays for house rent, the wages of the matron and the servants who help in the care of the children, food, clothing and fuel, it will be seen what close economy and good nianaseiiicnt have been necessary, i The managing board Is Miss Fannie L.

Banking Hours; Wednesday building, South Court Square. Croquet Hammocks Books 7 Patton Avenue. Bainbridge's For short time past there has seemed to be among the jn'tiple of the city a misunderstanding ns to Just what kind of un Institution is the Children's Home, which Is situated in the building on Charlotte street formerly used for the hospital. Numerous comments have been made on the plain surroundings and on the appearance of the children, who, though neatly dressed, are not attractive type, many of them being deformed, and few pretty. The home Is Intended not as a permanent asylum for the wnlfs, but as a medium between the county and the homes l'j which the children are committed.

In Miss Fannie L. Patton the leader of the movement for Improving; the condition of the homeless chlldien of this vicinity, found that there was no home for them but the almshouse where training was practically Impossible; where the children, instead of learning to care for thems-lves and to have pride against being a charge on the county, would almost Inevitubly lemnln In a condition useless to themselves und to others, with little or no ci'ticatlon or ambition. An elastic Christian charity would be nei essjiry to enable mother lo take among her own children a little stray I lug. without cleanliness or known cbai ucter. who might develop vicious Halts and lead the bettor trained children into forbidden paths.

The only solution of this stale of atTalis was the founding of a temporary home where the chlMieii could be cared for until those In charge could reasonably assured of their whole-si me condition, mentally, Morally and physically, before sending them Into homes where tlu-y would be educaPM and well taken care of. As there was then no law In the stntc concerning the committment of children to a home, one was applied for. The laws of several states were examined, that of Ohio being decided upon as best sailing the case, and il similar one was drawn up by Judge Ueorge A. Shutord. This law gave the manager of the home legal lights uvci the chll-dicn and full management In the cure of them.

The first building used was one of elcht or in rooms tin properly ad-loimitK 'hit on which the iospttnl now ui-is. yv. fulli, smut! to accommodate Increasing number foundling and the new hos-plUil was built, the old one was taken for the children. Ti children are In charge of a kind liiotlurly woman, ho sees that they are well clothed, well fed, and. It any reason, they are In the home after the school age Is reached, they are sent to the public schools.

From Infancy to light yiiirs old are the nges when most of the waifs are taken.
