Elkin. From Sutare-iy' riiilalelpMa laijairer. President McKinley ba-s rcpmlialed the entire anti-uay organir.U:on in I'ennsylvauia, no matter under what I nme it may exist. This interesting lac ' . . . .. . r ... explains an interview given ou. a k- wet ks ago in which it w as announced with much solemnity that the ltusiness Men's 'U'ag'ie of this State would not ask tor any appointments at the hand of the President aud would not oppose the can didates suggested for place by Senators uay and Pennine. Thereby hangs a most interesting bit of political history. Just before Major McKinley left Canton for Washington he receive.! a call from John P Elkin, of In diana county, chairman of the Republi can Sute Committee of Pennsylvania. Mr. Klkin was cordially greeted by the then l'resident-elect, who knew and un-der-t'Ks! the earnest work that had been done for him bv the committee in the Keystone Slate. First he complimented Mr. Klkin upon the very big majority that had been piled up for him in I'enn sylvauia. As the conversation drifted upon the work of the campaign generally, Major McKinley went out of his way to pay a tribute to the sagacity aud political generalship of Senator tuay. Then he said w ith distinctness and in a manner that could not be mistaken : "I propose to siand by the regular Republican or ganization in Pennsylvania as well as in every other State- My mind is absolute ly settled upon that point, and I expect to adhere to iu I have always been identi tied with the regular organization myself. and I intend to encourage, rather than discourage, others iu the same path." FLA IX NOTICK. This meant plainly a words could couvev that President McKinler had no sympathy with the bushwhacking war fare that has l-een carried ou in this State against Senator iuay. Chairman Klkin, w hen o,uesiiond regarding the correctness J of this interview, declined to say anything o.a the subject on the ground that it would be. discourteous for him to do so. His niinncr admitted the correctness of the interview as given aliove, and from another source it was confirmed in a man tier that removes it entirely from thi realm of doubt. A few weeks after the t-loctiu certain persons muiiccted with the liusiness M'-n's organization journeyed to Canton for the double purj,se of spiking Senator t iay s guns au.l to arrange things so that the stream of Presidental favors should run their way. But the journey was a failur. They left Canton sadder but wiser men. They learned that w hile Pre-ideut McKinley appreciated the work done for him by siuorre and patri otic lnisir.es. men, he w as not going to bo d-eived ly the leatingof tom-toms nor hid-j from himself the fact that behind the I5iisines.s Men's shield there were crouch ing a little coterie of professional reform er, political s.ldiers of fortune, notoriety se'-ker aad blacklisted machine politi cians. Then was given out the interview in tended to show what a contempt the liusinoss Men's organization had for political positions; bow they were in politic purely for their health and the laudable, patriotic and self-sacrificing purpose of furnishing the people- with high-toned eamii.lates tor exalted State and national o!lii-e. (OM'IHUKI) BY OTHKRS. The interview given to State Chairman Elkin by the President was not in the nature of a novelty. It has since been learned that the President substantially said the same thing to Speaker Boyer, of the House of Representatives; S. J. M M.-Carrell, President pro tern, of the State Senate; State Treasurer "Ben" Haywood, and Auditor- ieueral Amos Mylin. It might I remarked incidentally that the policy-outlined by Major McKinley en thused the last two men to such an extent that tn-rv w ent home an J worked so earnestly that Mylin's county of I.ancast er and Haywood's county of Mercer have each ele-te J solid Quay delegations to the coming state convention. i he importance of Senator Quay's triumph so far as Felieral patronage I concerned is not likely to lie misunder- si-vid. The Senator and his friends do not want to be put in the position of 'hogging" all the places in sight, but they are pleased to know that if a few ap pointment here and there are made upon the recommendation of others than the two United States Senators it w ill he because they concur in such appoint ments. The Business Men who show such a public contempt for political offices now were not always thus. During the late Senatorial campaign they strained their vocabulary in trying to iwake it ap pear that Senator Quay would not be iu it at Washington and that the cruinlsand li-hes would be distributed solely by the favor and at the dictation of the anti- Quay men. HIE AXT1 OVTFIT. Thomas I lan, Frank Willing Leach, Rudolph Blankenburgaud other attaches f the political hipp'slrome that toured tiie Pennsylvania provinces a few months ago lavishly emitted carefully phrased talks with themselves intended to convey the impression that if any man wanted a political place from w atchman iu the cor ridor of the postotlit building up to the Ambassadorship to (Jreat Britain his first move should be to connect himself w ith either the Business Men's League or the Combine. As the campaign progressed and the seat of war was removed to Harrisburg bus-uesj, n,en almost liecamo hysterical on this point. The tret- ami dead walls of the quiet Dauphin county town were covered by inflammatory pla-ards an nouncing to the world in general, and to person possessing a vote on the Senator ship, that both Mark Hanna and Presi dent McKinley would reward the men that stood by the anti-Quay cause. They calculated that Hanna Is ing a business mau would favor a biisinejs men's or ganization as against the political leaders of the State. But developments sim-o that lime prove that the President and the National Chairman think more of the party than they do of the ambition of any particular set of men. Try Grain-0 !

There hj been no let up in the pres sure f f official callers at tho White Ibmse. Hot the People's AiTitor. "Did It ever occur to you," write w- sip iu the Harrisburg Telegraph, "that there are many people in Pennsylvania w ho think that the Attorney iineral i a law offloar whose duty it is to give legal advice on every conceivable subject? It is a fact that the mad of the Attorney General's Department is swelled daily w ilh request for legal opinions affecting the personal affairs and transactions of individuals. Their requests are often humorous, because of the innocence of the w riters, while others are impudent. Attorney General MeCormick "and Dep uty Attorney General Elkin are g.iod uatu red and they let inquirers for legal light down as easy as possible. So fre quent have these requests become that it has been found necessary to prepare regular form of reply, as foollows: "Your communication of has lieen duly received. I regret to say that, un der the limitations upon the duties of this omoe, 1 can not give you an official op in ion upon the matter of your inquiry. It is the duty of the Attorney General to act or advise ouly in such nutters as come regularly liefore him in his ofTr-ial character, in the due administration of hi office; and it is inconsistent with bis duly to reply to the numerous inquiries which are received from other sources. The attempt to examine and aimwer these would consume so much time as to seriously interfere with the dlscharga of official duty. In many cases, too, the ex pression of an opinion upon such iu.puir ies might ciuse embarrassment, if the points covered were afterwtcd. raised in the regular course of administration. In this view of the subject, I am sure you w ill readily appreciate my reasons for declining to decide the matter you sub mit." A Farmer' Trait A dispatch from Toledo, (X, says a man who registered at the Jefferson House, in that place, as "K. P. Brown, of Johns town, Pa.," is organizing a secret, oath bound farmers' trust, which has leu in corjsirated under the laws of New Jer sey as the Agriculturists' National Pro tective Association, the object of which Is to "limit the crops to the actual liviug needs of the members of the orgsni.a. tion." so that "not a dollar's worth of farm produce of any kind will lie sold for general consumption, in order to com pel the ieople to import all their food pnsbicLs." It is further said that tue rder originated in Ianater, Pa., and that several braiu-hes have lieen secretly organized. The thing leaked out, we are told, by Brown leaving his papers at the Jefferson House when he left for Colom bus ou Thursday. Just how the granger .s to lie lieuefited by refusing to raise and sell farm produce the dispatch saith not, hut we are assured that the scheme will not be put in opera tion this year, because the Association is not yet large enough to control the mar kets; next year, however, the squeeze will come. But nobody need be alarmed, for it more than prolutble that the w hole thing is a huge fake likely another scheme to sw indle the unsuspecting farmer out o the fee collected for memlK-rship. The name of K. P. Brown is not in the City or County Direi-tory, and it h-m-iih that n one here knows hi:n. Reputable gran gers hereabout say they have not heard of such a scheme ; if Mr. Brow n really belongs here it is strange he did not at tempt to organize a branch of tho alleged Association where it is reasonable to sup pose he would be known. Johnstown Tribune. To Tarn Kegroet White. Kansas City, Mo., April 3. Profess Lucien Blake, the chair of electric chem istry of Kansas Uuiversity, said in a lec ture last night that the negro owes hi odor to a carbon pigment in the tissues of the skin. "If a enrrent of electricity be sent through the tissues of the body that con tain moisture," continued the professor. "as all tissues of the body do the tendeu cy of tho current is to decomjsise ami transport certain of the elements that make no these tissues and liquid. "Gold and silver and all the metals are deposited out of their solution by cur reiits of elei-tricity in this way in th' art. If it can bo found that a current electricity will thus transport carbon out of its pigment layer, as fonnd in the ne gro, then this pigment will Ios. its b!a color. Whether this carlion can thus removed will have to bo made the sul ject of experiments." Famous "Steeple Jack" Dead. Tukxton, X. J., April 5. "Steep! Jack" is dead. After climbing to gi Idy heighU in nearly every State iu th Union and taking chances for his which frequently caused thousands spectators to shudder as they watched him, he met the fate of drowning. He was J. B. Wayne, and his body was found in the Hudson Biver at Tarry town, V Y., to-day. He had been euga?ei for several days in painting a tall steeple in Xyack, X. Y. On Saturday afternoon after he had finished his work for the day, he and a nuni'ir of other painters went out ou the Hudson River for a sail It was a pleasant day and a large number of persons was on the bank w hen the men left. There was scarcely any wiud blow ing at the time, but most of the men had been drinking, and when they reaebc-d-tue middle of the river the boat was seen to capsize, aud ail the men fell into the water. A number of row-boats put out from both shores, but before they reach ed the men Wayne hail lost his bold of the lioat and went down. "Steeple Jack" had a reputation as a da-ing climber that extended all over the country. He has worked at the tops of towering church spires and tall chim neys in most of the cities of the United States. He hsd rigged a contrivance of his own by which he anchored a rope at the pinnacle and then hauled himself up hand over hand, while gaping crowds of spectator below watched the tiny speck he resembled and held their breaths iu awe. The man seemed to be utterly de void of fear, for he would move alsiut the loftiest steeples with a coolness that seemed like an invitation to death. Buried a Kala With HU Victim. PLYMoiTir, Ltd, April a. The case against William Satherlin, for murder, brought here on change ,f venue from Starke county, was -alled for trial today, charged with having killed Fetters, his friend and business partner. The State claims to be able to show that immediately after the murder was committed Sutherliu placed tho body of his victim in a wagon, hauled it to the residence of Haniel Holier, from whom he purchased an old mule, which he led behind bis wagon to the banks of Kagle Lake. It is claimed that he there buried the Ixxly of Fetters eight feet deep. Then the carcass of the mule, which hail been killed and skhine.L, was put into the grave and the bole 'was filled up. The murderer evidently believed that if any one dug into the grave he would be satisfied on finding the carcass of the mule, hut he was mistaken. Trailel a 5agr by a Dream. Moorestowx, X.

Professor Koch publishes to-day au article giving particulars of bis improved tubeiculia. Speaking of the lymph as he first intro duced it, he el iiius that it proved effica cious as a means of diagnosing disease even at so early a stage that cliuii-al ob servations and physical examination were of no avail. At great length he describes what im provements he has been able to make. He does not venture to regard his lymph as the best that is possible, and bo inti mates that experiments are bviug made, w ith a new serum which may prove still more efticaciou. IJut he is convinced that preparation of tubercle cultures can not lie brought to greater perfection. He concludes: "Whatever limy be done with tubercle cultures run lie done w ith these.
