Phillips, who has been criti cally ill and unable to practice his pro fession for some time, was taken to the home of his wife's parents last week, at Italy Hill, where it is hoped a change of air may prove beneficial to him. T he sixth annual reunion of the I Sprague family on Wednesday afternoon at the Pleasant Valley Grange Hall, near Hammondsport, was one of the largest annual gatherings of the kind held this season. AT the shoot of the Rifle Club on Wed nesday afternoon last, the following scores were made out of a possible 105 : Walter L. Biid, 100; Dr, J. F. Underwood, 97; Charles J. Moore, 92; Fred Coons, 89; Darwin P. Spear, 87; David Miller, 83. President Roosevelt has granted the ap plication of the Commercial Pacific Cable Company to land a cable on the shores of the United States, on the islands of Ha waii and Guam, and in the Philippine islands. T he Y. M. C. A. Woman's, Auxiliary voted (100 to aid the board of managers at the last meeting. Eighty dollars were made on lunches served on firemen's day. Two hundred dollars has been given by the auxiliary this year to the directors. C a n d id a te tor State Com p troller. It is understood that the Hon. Calvin J Huson, of this village, is a candidate for the nomination of State Comptroller on the Democratic ticket. It is generally conceded that ex-Senator David B. Hill will contiol the State Convention, and as Mr. Huson Is one of his near political friends, It looks as if the chances of the latter of securing the nomination desired were good. Unfortunately for him, how ever, the Republicans will elect their State ticket this fall, as usual in recent years. Mr. Huson served as deputy un der Comptroller Frank Campbell, In i89i-’3, and ably discharged the duties of the office. The best gome since the close of the league season was that played between the Penn Yan nine and the Cuban Giants last Wednesday. Smarting under the de feat of the previous day, when the score was 12 to 7, the Giants put forth their best efforts, but the locals played just as hard in the field and batted stronger and oftener, Paige and Bockstahler ex celling with the stick. The former made three hits the first three times to bat, and the latter pounded out two two-baggers. Murray pitched a magnificent game. As is his wont, at all times he kept his head, which is an admirable trait sadly lacking in many pitchers. An error In the eighth was responsible for the Giant’s first run, and by bunching their hits they secured two more in the same inning, tieing the score. In the tenth an error at first gave Penn Yan another run, and the Giants were then shut out in their half.

AT the annual school meeting at Can andaigua last week the attendance was only 13. A tax of $17,500 was voted. At an adjourned meeting for the election of trustees only 23 votes were cast. M rs . Ed Whitbeck and Mrs. John Mc- Goff, of this village, were taken to St. Mary’s Hospital, Rochester, on Sunday, where they will undergo operations to day. Dr. J. F. Underwood accompanied them. T he oat crop in Yates County this year is remarkably heavy, but some fields are badly lodged, and with continued wet weather considerable difficulty will be ex perienced in harvesting. T he Woman’s Club mourns the loss of a dear friend and associate, Mrs. Villa Andrews. She wat one of its officers, and ever devoted to its interests. She will be greatly missed by the members; her hopeful spirit and cheerful service contributed to the pleasure and profit of the meetings. * From the founding of the Penn Yan Aca demy in 1959 down to 1873 there were no contests in the election of trustees in the Penn Yan Union School District. Since that date there have been several which were more or less animated—principally more. Below we give the votes cast at the annual meetings in the years stated : 1875, 418; 1879, 460: 18S0, 500; 1889, 563; 1894, 470; 1902, 592. It will be seen that the vote cast at the meeting last week was the largest in the history of the district. The women com menced to vote for the first time in 1880, Chapter 9 o f the laws o f that year having given them that privilege. T he Y . M. C. A.

Mr. Jackson has one of the finest Baldwin orchards in Western New York and is to be congratulated. T he people on Lake Keuka will be glad to learn that the management of the Keuka Park Assembly has made arrange ments with Mr. Lee to carry passengers to and from all the meetings of the As sembly as far down as Keuka, and from Pulteney in the morning, and back to Pulteney in the evening after the even ing sessions. J udge John M. Davy has granted an order setting aside a judgment which was secured at a recent term of court here for $238 36 in fivor of Isaac B.

Williams of Middlesex a receiv er of the crops growing upon a piece of real estate in that town which is involved in a foreclosure action brought by John E. Williams against James E. Muckle and others. The aEdavits supporting the mo tion for a receivership alleged that the property itself was insuEclent to pay in debtedness and that the crops were being removed. F ew farmers would knowingly invite to their premises known enemies, to live up on the best the land affords, but many a negligent farmer is just now allowing to go to seed dozens of luxuriant weeds. They will “ run out,” of course, but it will take years, and while they are “ running out” they will run the farm out, too, and run his soil out and run his income out. The farmer who allows weeds to overrun his farm is neglecting a serious, Imperative duty. M rs . Martha Briggs-Crittenden died last Thursday at the residence of her sis- ter-in-'aw, Mrs. Elvira Stephenson-Briggs, aged 76 years. She was the youngest daughter of the late Abel and Elizabeth Rippey-Briggs, and was born in Potter, where she spent her early years. In 1868 she married Edwin F. Crittenden, of Ml. Clemens, Michigan. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon, Rev. Samuel Palmer oficiating, the funeral being in the Briggs cemetery. T h e Premium Lists of the Yates Coun ty Fair can be had at the stores o f Walter B.

O ne of the first jobs of threshing in this section was done last Friday on the Abel Ward farm near Starkey. From nine acres 196 bushels of wheat were threshed, and six bushels of rye yielded 145 bushels. Considering the season and the diEculty in securing the crops, this is not a bad showing .— Dundee Observer . J o h n W e s l e y M c C r a c k e n , Village Clerk, had a narrow escape from serious injury on Saturday last. He was standing on a buggy seat engaged in tacking a number on the bottling works of Marvin B. Shaw, on Elm Street, when the horse started up. Losing his balance be fell over backwards striking the ground on his head and shoulders. He was removed to his residence on Liberty Street, and Dr. Charles, E. Doubleday summoned. It was found on examination that no bones were broken, but he received a se vere shock and many severe bruises. T he grounds at Keuka Park have been placed in good order for the Assembly, which will open to-morrow. As arranged heretofore they have been too large to be kept conveniently in the best of order. This year the space given over to the As sembly proper has been somewhat cur- curtailed by the moving of the fence, so that the grounds may be used.for the As sembly and for picnics at the same time without interference. The pavilion and seats have all been placed in the best of order, so that the expected crowd may be conveniently handled. A terrible case in the strike region in Pennsylvania came to light last week, when a poor, sick woman, with one child, appealed to Gen. Gobin for protection against the persecution of the strikers, who were enraged because her husband, a miner, refused to quit work. At night, when alone with her child, strikers were wont to surround her house, yell and jeer, and throw missiles through the win dows. Gen. Gobin sent a 6 quad of sol- to escort the woman to a hospital, where she will be free from brntal as saults. When such a case of persecution transpires in a semi-civilized country the whole Christian world is aroused. T he Woman's Christian Temperance Union gave five dollars to supply eight or ten points in town on fireman’s day with ice-water, hoping thus to keep some who were thirsty from the saloons, and hinder debauchery and crime in a measure. The Y . M .C. A. did the work, placing the bar rels and drawing the water. R o b e r t N . C o o n s underwent a surgi cal operation at Albany on Sunday last. It had been supposed that he was suffer ing from appendicitis, but the operation developed the fact that he had an abcess near the appendix, which was removed, and at last accounts the patient was do ing well. A G e n e v a correspondent of a Roches ter paper saj s that the project of build ing an electric railway from Geneva to Peon Yan, which has been inactive for several years, has been revived, and that it is probable that the road will be built in the near future. The necessary rights of way were obtained when the enter prise was first started. A p e c u l i a r lawsuit has been brought against Oakley Wixom of Urbana, by At torney Walter Drew of Hammondsport, acting for J. E. Watkins of that village. Some weeks ago, as Wixom, with three companions, was passing the Watkins farm at Blmbols, he picked some roses growing near the fence. Some days later he was surprised at receiving a bill of $5 for the four roses, to which he paid no at tention. At the expiration of a stated time suit was begun to compel payment of the bill. Wixom has retained Hon. Monroe Wheeler as counsel and will contest the suit .—Prattsburgh News. A n n u a l R e u n ion 1 4 t h N . P . H e a v y Artillery. The annual reunion of the surviving members of the Fourteenth New York Heavy Artillery will be held in the rooms of William H.

The afternoon of the first day will be devoted to a business session, and in the evening a camp fire will be held in the post rooms, given by the members of Long Post and members o f the Woman’s Relief Corps, of Penn Yan. The closing session of the meeting will be held on Wednesday morning. On Wednesday afternoon an excursion and boat ride will be participated in by the members of the post, the survivors of the regiment, and others. R e * a r r e sted. MRS. J. S. Glover, of Saginaw, Mich., died in that city on Friday last, aged 82 years. The remains arrived in Penn Yan on Sunday on the 5.28 train on the New York Central for interment in Lake View Cemetery. The deceased was the oldest daughter of the late Dr. William and Sarah Cornwell, and was born in this vil lage in 1819. She was a sister of Hon. George R. Cornwell and Mrs. Caroline Wolcott, She married the late Justie S. Glover, E q . , a prominent lawyer, and about 1867 then moved to Saginaw, Mich, She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Alphina Gibbs, of Detroit, Mich., Mrs. Anna Hauptman, of San Francisco, Cal., and Mrs. Sarah L Eastman, of Saginaw, T h e Penn Yan correspondent of the Rochester Union says: \A peculiar and somewhat disastrous aecldent happened to a gang of threshers in the “ hollow” below the town on Saturday afternoon. Joseph Horton, o f Benton, and his gang of men had been engaged in threshing at the Robinson farm, whichjlies on top of the steep bank of the outlet opposite the Seneca mill, and shortly before supper, having completed the work, started to leave. The machine was in charge of an employee, and he endeavored to back out into the road, on the far side of which was the steep bank of the gulf in which flows the outlet of Lake Keuka. When he endeavored to shut off the steam and bring the engine to a halt he found it to be an impossibility, and he was forced to jump to save himself from being car ried over the bank, The machine went to the bottom of the steep incline, some three hundred feet,\ turning over and over in its descent, and landing a badly smashed mass of iron at the bottom, in the bed of what was once the old Crooked Lake canal. It will be necessary to use a heavy derrick to remove from its land ing place the remains of the once valu able engine.” $ S e r io u s A c c ident. James Alexander, a well-known farmer and auctioneer residing in the town of Jerusalem, met with a very serious acci dent a few days ago, and one which may have serious results. He was working about his place, and mounted a platform on a wagon for the purpose of sweeping it off. That accomplished, he threw the broom which he had been using to the ground, leaping down at the same time. The broom struck upon the brush end, and remained upright for an instant, Al exander striking it in such a manner that the handle was driven several inches into the flesh of his groin, making a very ugly wound, and one which bled pro fusely. Coroner?8 Verdict* In 1898 Fred Mateden was tried in the Ontario County Court on an indictment of arson in the second degree, the specifi cation being that he had burned a barn near Rushville. He was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment at Aubnrn for fiveyears. At the December, 1998, tern of the Yates County Court Marsden was alsoiindtcted for burglary in the second de gree, it being charged that he had entered the watei-works power-house some few months previous and stole therefrom a shot-gun and other articles, the property of Oscar Morse. Yesterday at eight a. m. Marsden was released freftn the Au bnrn prison, his five years’ sentence, less commutation for good behavior, having expired. As he was leaving the prison he was re-arrested by John Lamphier, of Jerusalem, deputy sheriff, brought to Penn Yan, and lodged in jail. He will now have to stand trial on the burglary indictment.

T h e r e was a considerable crowd in Penn Yan on Wednesday to witness the display of fireworks which were intended for firemen’s day, but which were not shot off on that occasion on account of the rain. There was rain, and a surfeit of it, on Wednesday evening last, but it did not prevent the display, which began at about 9 o ’clock and lasted more than an hour. The hose races, prize drill, etc , advertised for Wednesday afternoon, failed to materialize, which, for some reason, appears to nave disappointed no one, as there was no gathering for those announced events.

A t the school election last week 591 ballot® were cast, and 1724 votes. The question has arisen as to how many votes are necessary to elect. The law requires a mejorlty of tbe votes cast, not a major ity of the ballots. The word “ ballots” ia not mentioned, and seldom is in elec tion returns. It is claimed that there having been six candidates, receiving a total of 1724 votes, one-sixth of that to tal, or 288, gives the number necessary to elect. O’hers contend that one-half of the whole number of ballots cast, or 296, is the required number, The matter will be decided by the Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, to whom it has been re ferred. The Hon. Marcus A. Hanna, United States Senator from Ohio, Is doing a grand and good work by hie lectures on the labor question. The Senator believes that the true way to settle contentions between labor and capital Is through mu tual concessions and not by strikes. He would apply the Golden Rule. Organ ized labor, he says, is an imported article. It came to us from the Old World, from ons which do not and cannot ex ist here. It had its origin in the belief that capital and labor are naturally and unavoidably antagonistic. The same feeling exists in this country to a greater or less extent, and as labor organizations have come to slay, it is the duty o f good people to teach, on every available op portunity, the important truth that here, if nowhere else, the Interests of labor and capital are common, and that what ever conflicts may grow out of them should be composed by mutual conces sions, and not by resort to strikes and lockouts, which ate invariably sacrificial and demoralizing. For obvious reasons professional labor agitators, who are well paid for their agitation even when strik ers and their families are starving, will stoutly resist all efforts for the betterment of existing conditions, but the time is certain to come when their ability to de lude will be greatly weakened. Coroner Joseph T. Cox, of this village, after investigating the case of the death of Claremont Livingston, the New York Central brakeman who was killed Aug, 26th by being thrown from his train near Himrod, rendered the following verdict: That Claremont Livingston died, July 26th, the result of an accident; that said Claremont Livingston was a brakeman on the New York Central railroad ; that he was killed by falling from his train about 6 30 a. m. on that day, about one mile north of Himrode Junction, in the town of Milo, N. Y . That he came to his death while setting a brake on a cat in said train, with a brake stick, contrary to orders of said railroad company, the breaking of said stick causing him to fa1! between the cats of said train.

B. Garriott, of the U. Weather Bureau: In August the weather on the north At lantic Ocean is, as a rule, settled. The more severe storms, which occur on an average of about once in two years, are of tropical or sub-tropical origin, and across the Grand Banks, traveling in a northeasterly direction, This course car ries them north of the trans-Atlantic steamship routes to the west of the thir tieth meridian. The fogs of the New foundland banks are most prevalent in July and August, when they are encount ered in that region twenty or more days in the month. The southern limit of iceburgs on the banks, which reaches to about the fortieth parallel in June, con tracts north of the forty-fifth parallel in August. In the West Indies August marks the beginning of the hurricane season. The more severe storms of the month are, however, confined almost entirely to the more eastern Islands of the West Indies, and any given locality in the lesser Antil les and Pcrto Rico is subject to a hurri cane visitation in August in an average of once in fifteen to twenty years. In the Gulf of Mexico the more severe storms of August pass west or north of west from the Caribbean Sea, and aver age one in two years. August is the month of maximum ty phoon frequency in the Philippine Is lands, the China Sea, and on the China and Japan coasts. They compare in se verity with the West Indian hurricanes. In the United States August is a month of occasional thunderstorms from the lake region and Ohio Valley, over the Middle Atlantic and New England States, and the rains in these districts, while us ually of short duration, are, at times, ex cessive, and attended by violent wind squalls. General storms of marked se verity seldom occur on the Atlantic sea- boatd and the Great Lakes in August. In the Southern States, east of the Mississippi River, the rainfall of the month ia caused principally by minor disturbances, which advance from the Gulf of Mexico or the West Indies, Be tween the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains the month of August is usually dry and uneventful, with a ten dency to strong and warm southwest winds. Over the greater part of the country west of the Rocky Mountains, August rainfalls are light, and over the middle Plateau region and in California little or no rain falls.

There are practically two months of summer ahead of you yet. Remember that our season of selling ends before your season of wearing.
