Philadelphia Inquirer. Xo Republican, oitliei leader or voter, who understands the politi- Ktl conditions in Pennsylvania should consider l'or a single mo ment the argument that if John I'. Elkin is nominated for Governor several Congressional districts will be lost and the re-election of Sena tor Penrose will be endangered. For who are the persons who are using such childish arguments? They are principally composed of Mr. Acheson a Congressman from the southwestern end of the State, and the editors of a few insurgent newspapers. The newspapers in question are wholly without in fluence, and as to Mr. Acheson, he lias been advocating the rule of the minority so long without result that his views are not valuable nor even worth listening to. Among the districts that are said to be in danger by the opponents of Mr. Elkin is that of Representa tive Council. But you do not find Mr. Council joining with Mr. Acheson and the insurgent news papers. On the other hand, he is sturdily in favor of the nomination of Mr. Elkin. Listen to what his own newspaper, the Scranton Tri bune, has to say: Mr. Elkin has few, if any, superiors among the younger men now in American public life. The stone-throw ing lie is now undergoing does hint absolutely no harm, as is shown by the ireturns from the various primaries, Mid his nomination for Governor, now generally recognized as likely to come to pass, will be followed by a stirring campaign, crowned with victory cer tain and impressive. ••Certain and impressive'' would bo the Republican victory under hi- leadership undoubtedly, for there is no candidate in the State ivho can better appeal to the people ihan Mr. Elkin himself. "Repub licans who know Mr. Elkin only as be is pictured in the insurgent newspapers," continues the Tri bune, "v. ill know more about him before long, and we ventured to say that the knowledge will dispel any doubts which may now exist in minds open to reason as to the wisdom of his nomination." There can be no serious ques tioning of that statement. A man who is of the people and fights bis way by sheer force of will and of self-gained education is always safe in the hands of the people. The popularity of John P. Elkin is a oiattei of common knowledge. Against a most formidable machine, that of y. Watres, lie has swept everything. In the country dis tricts contests at the primaries are always above board. Not even the most bitter enemies of the Republi can Party would dare to contend that in tlie country, at least, there is not a fair expression of opinion. If there is so much opposition to Mr. Elkin how happens it that, with a rival candidate in the field and lighting hard for delegates, it is Mr. Elkin, who is capturing all of the delegates, and by great majorities ? We make the declaration with out the slightest reserve that no more popular candidate could be found in all Pennsylvania than Elkin, and if under him the State would not vote the Republican ticket, then no man could save it. But the idea of losing Penn sylvania to the Democrats and of handing the Legislature over to the control of Colonel Guffey and of beating Senator Penrose if Elkin is nominated is simply preposter ous.

Little Gelatinous (Iminilmun Wlilch the Aiiiicnrnnce. A milky opalescence, permeating the entire sea for immense distances bound ed only by the horizon, is a somewhat rare phenomenon. It appears quite suddenly, lasts perhaps for several hours and passes away as rapidly as It came, and this without apparent cause. At midnight we had the singular white ness enveloping the sea, while the more prilliant kinds of phosphorescence ehone in the midst of flashing green, yellow or bluish lights, as the case might be—a gorgeous nocturnal dis play. During these hours my surface trawl net drifted astern of the ship. The wa ter was alive with countless myriads of little gelatinous sacs measuring one sixth of an inch in length—delicate tu nicate organisms which required the aid of a microscope to reveal their per fect structure. A few specimens placed in an empty meat tin in a darkened cabin could be seen indeed with the naked eyes careening madly around in the salt water, each one glowing with that peculiar opalescent light which saturated the entire sea for so many miles. It was a small species of salpa, nearly related to a much larger kind on the side of which the late Professor Moseley wrote bis name with liis finger, the signature being visible on the dead body throughout the night, glowing with the brightest phosphores cent light.—Cornliill Magazine. S|X'llki»K' R.nailili. Almost any one who speaks English might be put down successively in half a dozen places where English is sup posed to be the mother tongue and hear as many dialects spoken, not one of which he would understand until it was interpreted. An old Lancashire worthy and a London lady were one day occupants of a railway carriage. The train had been waiting long at a certain station, and there was no ap pearance of it starting when the worthy remarked: "They're a gly, tanglesome lot here." "I beg your pardon," said the lady. "I'm say In' they're a gey dnidlin' lot here." "I really beg your pardon, sir." "I'm observln' they are a vera dreich lot here the nicht." "Really I must again beg your par don. I don't comprehend you." "I was just tryin' to say that the train was late." "Indeed, sir. it is—very late," agreed the lady and then collapsed.—London Tit-Bits. Salphnr. Sulphur occurs very widely distrib uted in the mineral kingdom, partly free and partly combined with other elements. The free sulphur is cither found pure in regularly formed crys tals or intimately mixed with earthy matters. In its native state sulphur is largely found in Sicily and Italy and as a general rule in abundance in vol canic districts. The brlttleness of sul phur renders the cleavage Imperfect. Sulphuric acid is an important com bination and a very dangerous one in inexperienced hands. Sulphur combin ed with a number of elements, such as iron, copper, lead, etc., furnishes the sulphides. In the vegetable kingdom sulphur is a small constituent of the albuminous bodies and of certain vol atile irritant oils. Moreover, the vege table juic's contain it in the form of certain sulphates. \i» Fn-st Indian Amulet. In India a variety of gems and stones are used as amulets. The most com mon is the salagrama, a stone about as large as a billiard ball and which is perforated with black. This is sup posed to be found only in Oandaki, a river in Nepaul. The person who pos sesses one of these stones is esteemed highly fortunate. He preserves it in a clean cloth, from whence it is some times taken to lie bathed and perfum ed. lie believes that the water in which it is washed, if drunk, has the power to preserve from sin. Holding It In his hand, the dying Hindoo ex pires in peace, trusting in a stone rath er than in the living God. A Tnntc of Hronnr. An Englishman met a man at a French table d'hote, who addressed him in French. Ills accent betrayed him, and, rather rudely, the Briton said, "Ah, you are English." "The devil a doubt of it, darlin'," re plied the stranger. "An Irishman, too, still better," went on the other. "Well, thin, isn't it strange," said the man, "my French always shows me to be English and my English to be Irish?" Tlif* Firwt Step. The children were having a writing lesson.

The Romans in the time of Cicero and Augustus took an early breakfast, from 3 to 4 in the morning, a luncheon at 12 or 1 and at about .1 o'clock the coena or principal meal of the day, cor responding with our dinner. Concur rently we read of some not dining until sunset. Crumped Mven. According to the London Lancet, it is quite exceptional to find in a child bred in parochial charity institutions that healthy individuality which is characteristic of children who have been boarded out in the freer and more natural atmosphere of family life. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL io, 1902. First Fork. R. B. 15. Crura, was bidding his pa trons pond bye on Saturday. Isaac Bowen lias treated his house to new windows and repairing and painting up generally. The First Fork stage is a thing of the past, as the mail will be carried ou the railroad, beginuing with to-day. The saw mill here has been shut down a day or two ou account of iMr. Yeager, the manager, being called to Genessee by the death of his mother. Tt was P. 11. Farrell of Austin, instead of I!. C., his brother, of Oostello, who died a few days ago. He was in the employ of the Goodyears. A young man by the name of ltolling er was taken to the Austin hospital on Wednesday last, having been hurt by logs rolling on him, caused by a chain breaking on the log train, ft is reported his back was not broken as firnt reported. Quite a number of young men leave this morning lor Idaho with the inten tion of taking up timber or mining claims. Among them are Ezra Logue and Oliver Berficld, of First Fork; ('has. David, Orrin Card and J. Leon Nelson, of Packer. Another band expects to leave later in the season. The house of John Caldwell was de stroyed by fire on Saturdry last, the fire catching in the roof.

Mr. Caldwell and wife were visiting their daughter Mrs. Nelson at Sizerville, at the time of the fire, Mrs. ltussell, another daughter keeping house for them while away. April 7, 11(02. Letter to Dr. A. W. Baker. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir: You know chemistry. Lead and zinc is a better paint than lead alone or zinc alone. Lead chalks off; zinc peels off. Lead and zinc stay on, if properly ground. Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. It is ground iine and thoroughly mixed. A painter ought never to mix lead and zinc; it wants grinding; mixing isn't enough. A streak of lead and a streak of zinc is not lead and zinc. The object in grinding Devoe is to grind the lead into the zinc and the zinc into the lead, which a painter can't do, with a stick in a tub. And yet lead and oil will wear longer with 20 or 30 per cent of zinc mixed in with it, even as painters do it. But Devoe has lead ground in with zinc. The lead is fine enough; so is the zinc. The grinding is to grind the two into one And grinding costs little or nothing done by machinery. Yours truly, 09 F. W. DEVOE & Co. P. S.—Murry & Coppersmith sell our paint. When the Atlantic WllN Bridjted.

Chronic bronchitis Cured. "For ten years 1 had chronic brouchitis so bad that at times 112 could not speak above a whisper." writes Mr. Joseph Coffmati, of Motitmon nci, Ind. 'I tried all remedies available, but with no suc cess. Fortunately my employer suggest ed that I try Foley's Honey and Tar. Its effect was almost miraculous, and I am now cured of the disease.

Hla Fluent Ponut of Team. There are &mny incidents in the life of a photographer. A man came in the other day and looked over nE the sam ples, asking the price of each. "Do you want a sitting?" I asked. "I don't see notliin* like what I want," he replied. I told him if he would indicate what he wanted I mlglit arrange it. "You see, it's like tbis," be began. "I had a girl that I loved, and we was go ing to git married. SIIO had her tilings made up, and we was ail but ready, when she was taken ill and died. And what I wanted was ti picture of me sit tin' on lier grave wcepln'." I was touched at the homely story of grief and told him 1 could send a man with him to the grave and have the picture taken as he desired. "It's some distance," he said. "It's over in Ireland. I expect it 'ud cost a lot to send over your traps for what I want?" I said it would. "I thought," he answered, "that mebbe you could rig up a grave here in your shop and 1 would weep 011 it and it would do just as well. It's no trouble for me to weep anyv. here."—Edinburgh Scotsman.
