FIRST BLOOD 1 HE COBS Thr Mill Xnw Work to Carry 0t Their Srlicmr, the Initial Cost f Whlrh Monlil llt IVrarlr Tw Mil linna of Dollara to Eiperlmeat M Hit Their ierlal Apparal (Special Correspondence.) Harrisbnrg, June 6. A decision by the supreme court which will oblige the secretary of the commonwealth to advertise the proposed amendments to the constitution is regarded as a gTeat victory for the contractor who are seeking to introduce the voting ma chines Into Pennsylvania Governor Stone vetoed the action of the Inst legislature in this matter upon the ground of public economy and that there was no popular demand for the proposed Innovation of voting ma' chines in this state. The matter waa taken to the supreme court at the in stance of the promoters of the voting machines, and severnl members of re form associations joined In this issue, and as well as that of the proposed amendment to the constitution which would abolish the provision requiring uniform legislation upon the ballot issue throughout the state. Under cover of the agitation over the elec tion frauds in Philadelphia and Alle' gheny, the lawyers for the toting ma chine interests pushed their cases, and have at last succeeded in getting a de rision which nullifies the action of Governor Stone, who sought to block the voting machine game with his veto, LEAVE IT TO THE PEOPLE. The leaders of the Republican organ ization of the state have not taken any positive stand upon this issue of hav ing the proposed amendments go to a ote of the people. Refore the suggest ed amendments can come up to be voted upon at the general election they must be again voted upon by the state legislature. Meanwhile the secretary of the commonwealth must advertise the proposed amendments in every county of the state at a cost of proba bly $in,ooo. The nominees of the Re publican party for the legislature will use their own Judgment as to what at titude to assume on the issue of the voting machines and the matter of wiping out the constitutional provi sion requiring uniformity of legislation affecting the method of voting. They must loam the sentiment of their eon Ktitnents. In this latter contention an effort Is being mnde to require personal registration of voters In certain sec tions of the commonwealth. The great issue. However, will be upon the pro- J'",, iiuiuuiiniiin ot me voting ma chines. Samples of these machines were shown here during the last ses sion of the legislature, when the pro moters of the scheme had a strong lob by on ' the Hill." working in their in terest among the members of both houses. n was then estimated that the cost of each machine would be 1,1 ' -"-r. nnd that as there are about 7,000 voting preclncts'ln Pennsylvania the total cost for the mere Introduc tion of the machines would be over a million and a half dollars. This would not he counting tne cost of repairs and maintenance and stoiage between elec tions. The machines are very intri cate pieces of mechanism and would rcfpiire first class machinists to keep them In order. Should one of them pet out of order on election day th voted for Colonel Quay for United States senator until the end of the ses sion. This action was made an issue before the Republicans of his district and he won by an overwhelming vote. CHESTER COUNTY SOLID. Another county went on record last Saturday on this same Issue. The en tire delegation from Chester county to the next legislature came up before the Republicans of that county at the pri mary election on that day. At the head of the ticket was State Senator W. P. Snyder, who Is president pro tem. of the state senate, and who act ed and voted with the stalwart Repub licans on the United StnVs senatorshlp throughout the entire t&aslon of the legislature. Senator Snyder had been threatened with opposition for renom ination unless he deserted the caucus nominee for United States senator last winter, but when the time came to ipring this opposition the Insurgents weakened. They found that the senti ment of the Republicans of Chester county was against them and in favor of majority rule. No effort 'was made to oppose Dr. Snyder's renomlnatlon when the time for registration of candidates came around, and he had a walkover at the primary election. His election by a large majority is assured. The candidates nominated for the as sembly are all stalwart Republicans. They are: Northern district, W. P. Coryell, North Coventry; Eastern dis trict. Thomas Lack, West-Chester; Southern district, Fred H. Cope. Lin coln, and Western district, James O. Fox, Cain. They are all popular in the respective districts, and there ran be no doubt about the election of the en tire ticket. This will mean a gain of four votes for the regular state Repub lican organization from this county alone, as the county was represented in the last house by two Democrats and two Insurgents, who co-operated with the Democrats during the entire ses sion, under the leadership of Fllnn, of Allegheny, and Martin, of Philadelphia. THE TICKETS ARE AT A PREMIUM Quay and Reeder Pressed Hard by Pennsylvanians For Con vention Cards. HAVE VERY FEW TO GIVE. whole scheme of election in that unci would fail. NO MACHINE HONESTY Another argument against tfctRof voting machines is that it V eonceded that no machine can makwi honest who are otherwise disvw, The ar rangement of the mhin for which tuts light, is being. inaOo requires the voter to touch batons which record the names of tha candidates for whom the dmen .hr-s to vote. It is point ed out thsi there would be nothing t prrvMit dlxhonest men to permit im personation of voters In this "push Is button scheme any more than thm-i to allow men to Impersonate otaon in The casting of the ballots under the preset ,vstem. It Is qulto- probable hat the people will carefully weigh the arguments pro and, m on this matter of the Introduction, of the ma chines befoie they intimately derW to ndvocate the fxp-ndUure of a million and a half dllm-. upon an experi mental proposition.

(Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, June 5. While every day shows an Increasing Interest among Pennsylvanians In the arrange ments for the Republican national con ventlon to be held here on the 19th Inst., the prospects of getting tickets of admission to the hall are not a bit brighter today than they were three weeks ago, when the original plan for the distribution of these coveted cards was announced. It begins to look as though there will be but a small con tingent of the Republicans of the Key stone state who come here during con vention week get Into the auditorium during the sessions of the convention. Colonel Quay, member of the national committee from Pennsylvania, and General Reader, chairman of the Re publican atate committee, were both here within tiie last few days upon a still hunt for convention tickets in or der to romiJy with at least a few re quests that have come to them from Republk-an from every county of the Rtate. Men who ordinarily take very little. Interest in matters political are cropaSng up in every quarter of the co.Bion wealth with anxious eyes upon tk seats in national convention hall. Tkry want to see President McKlnley renominated and llstpn to the speeches from the representative party men who will he assembled here from every state in uh T'nio.i. They have read of the sjder.did hall in which the conven tion is to he held and of the manv feature of convsntion week which promise to be so attractive to the vis itors. QUAY 'AND REEDER ACTIVE. It was to satisfy at least a small proportion of these anxious Republi cans that Colonel Quay and General Reader came here to confer with Col onel WlswelL the sergeant-at-arms of the national contention, and Mayor Ashhridge, who la the chairman of the citizens' committee of arrangements for the convention. They soon learned that tlx? demand for tickets is quite universal and that every member of the national committee and every member of the local committee has on file a big list of applicants for tickets. General . Reeder made a special plea to Mayor Atshbridge, but he was In formed that tin four thousand tickets which will go to the citizens' commit tee of this city are to be distributed among the subscribers to the national convention $100,000 fund, and that as thare are.abntt l.&uu subscribers to this fund there will be but a small allot ment to go to each subscriber. Colonel Quay remarked before he left town tnat.be had not found much encourage ment and that the applicants for tick fts had better see the national dele gates from tludr respective congres sional districts; at once before they shall have promised their extra tick ets. Each member of the national committee is to receive 25 tickets, each delegate to the convention will get, besides the ticket which will admit him to the delegates' section, two tick Eta of general admission to the hall. WILL SHARE TICKETS. These ticket will be in coupon form, so that If there shall be three sessions a day each ttcket can be employed to give three dllferent persons admission to the hall for one session each. It Is possible, although not probable, that the convention will last three day. There is not much doubt about yier A Card mf Tbanlta. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said st first it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and 1 could hardly got around to work.

Look for mark, take no other. trade It being bnt one session on the opening day. Tusday, the 19th Inst The del egates wifl as a rule arrange among their constituents to make the best possible use of their small allotment of tickets. Each alternate will receive but one ticket, which will admit him to his own seat While this question of tickets of ad mission to the hall will be a source of embarrassment to lue leaders of the Republican organisation In this state, on acount of so many desiring to wit ness the proceedings of national con vention, there will be other attractions In this city which will be found quite enjoyable by many of the visitors from tht Interior of the state. Arrange ments have been made to have cards issued to visitors entitling them to visit the various public institutions, the Girard college and other places of Interest, through the allied Republican clubs of this city. CLUB MEN ALL WELCOME. J. Hampton Moore, who Is president of the State League ot Republican clubs of Pennsylvania, has Just Issued a letter of ' Information to all the Re publican clubs of this state outlining the program for convention week. This letter will be especially interesting to members of Republican clubs in the interior of the state who contemplate visiting this city. Even should they be unable to procure tickets of admis sion to the convention hall they will find other courtesies extended to them by their fellow Republicans of this city. President Moore, In his letter, says: "The national convention of the Re publican party to nominate candidates for president and vice president of the United States will open in Phlladel phia June 19. "Under the auspices of the Pennsy! vanla State league, the Republican clubs of Philadelphia have successful ly organized for cordial and enthuslaB tic reception nnd entertainment of vis Itors from all parts of tue United States. In this they have had the co operation of Republican clubs In Penn sylvania and the neighboring states of New Jersey and Delaware. "All that has been done has met with the hearty approval of the Repub lican national committee and Is In thorough accord with the work of the local citizens' committee, headed by the mayor of Philadelphia. "As president of the Pennsylvania State League, therefore, It gives me pleasure not only to congratulate you upon the energy and enthusiasm of your Pennsylvania brethren, but to ad vise you briefly of the program of the allied Republican clubs of Phlladel pbia and vicinity. "First. The headquarters. No. 221 South Broad street. Here at the club rooms of the famous Union Republican club all Republican club men from Pennsylvania affiliated with the State League should register. Visiting dele gations, sending word In advance, will be met at stations and escorted to their lodgings. Accredited Republican clubs men will be furnished with 'Visitors' Cards,' entitling them to a variety of courtesies. "Second. The parade. On Monday night. June 18, there will be a great parade of Republican clubs. In which visiting clubs will be furnished with escorts. In addition to Pennsylvania clubs. New Jersey, Delaware, New York. Ohio, District of Columbia, Illi nois, Massachusetts and many other states will be represented. Pennsyl vania clubs not yet reported are es pecially invited to turn out. The time Is short, and applications for position In line mtiRt be forwarded to General Louis Wagner, grand marshal. Third National bank, Philadelphia, at once. The parade will be reviewed by lead ing men of the nation from the allied Republican clubs' headquarters. "Third. Mass meeting. The national convention opens Tuesday, June 19. On the evening of this day the allied Re publican clubs will fire the opening gun at a great mass meeting at the Academy of Music. The speakers will all be men of national prominence. "Fourth. River excursion. On Wed nesday, June 20, a flotilla will convey guests of the allied Republican clubs lo points of Interest along the harbor of Philadelphia, including the great shipyards and the Philadelphia navy yard, the great fresh water harbor, where many of the famous battleships of the American navy are now lying. "These are the main points of the program, but not all. Club smokers, open club houses, out-of-door enter tainments and ageneral Interchange of talnments and a general Interchange of prehensive srale. "The indications are that the Re publican club men of Philadelphia and vicinity will demonstrate on this occa sion that their organizations are as chivalrous and hospitable as they are enthusiastic and untiring in political contests. "You are requested to read this com munication to your club immedately after Its reception, in order that your members may be advised and guide themselves accordingly." FOR M'KINLEY'S CHOICE. The natter of the nominee for vice president is still in doubt. When Col onel Quay wa3 here this week he said the Pennsylvania delegation would un doubtedly favor the candidate who would bo regarded as President Mc Kinley'g choice. He declared that the desire of Republicans generally was to support the choice of the adminis tration for second place with the view of strengthening the ticket. The Re publican party, he predicted, will enter ihe campaign with a determination to make an aggressive canvass and with ibsolute confidence In a successful contest at the polls. All talk about the Pennsylvania delegations being In a combination in favor of any candidate for vice president, he insisted, was absurd, as there has been no con ference on the subject. Colonel Quay has accepted an invitation to make the residence of Senator John C. Grady, on North Nineteenth street, his home dur ing his visit to this city for the meet ing ot the national committee and the national convention. He will have headquarters at the Hotel -Walton, where General Reeder has engaged 40 rooms for I ennsylvanla delegates from this state to the national convention. The headquarters of the Pennsylvania delegation will be at the rooms of the Republican committee, 1417 Locust street. CHAUTAUQUA'S WORK. This Season to Be an Unusu ally Busy One.

This year's many unusual happenings In religious, political and social life give an added opportunity to the un tiring, sealous workers of the assembly, and those visiting the picturesque Chautauqua this year will near much that will be Instructive In oratory, lit erature and music. The spot Is now in Its grandest attire, bedecked In nature's adornments, and one feels a thrill ot delight In being among the workers on the ground and drinking in the flow of richness that make up tfhe pro gram. Many subjects of Interest are booked for the season, and the enter talnment to be derted therefrom will be most pleasing. The beautiful resort Is expected to be a very popular one this year. this year. Each summer Chautauqua's charms of scenery seem to show mre rronounced. and this year is expected to outdo all others In delighting the thousands that will take part in the as sembly doings. Every preparation is be ing made for a successful season. Bishop Joseph C. Hartsell, who has recently returned from South Africa, Is a believer In British supremacy. He Is announced for a lecture at Chautau qua next summer. The public will lis ten with Interest to his presentation of the South African situation. The recent literature dealing with the life of the Jews In the great cities of the world has attracted wide attention. The work of Zangwlll has been most notable In this field. A volume enti tled "An Imported Bridegroom" and other stories by Abraham Cahan has appeared within the last year. These stories deal In a charming and dramatic way with the life of New York Jews. Mr. Cahan Is not only an effective writ er but a very delightful speaker. We note that he Is announced for a series of readings from his own stories at Chautauqua next summer. Dr. S. Parks Cadman of the For ward Movement In New York caused some excitement In the Methodist Gen eral conference the other ray by boldly taking Governor Shaw of Iowa to task for some slighting allusion to "fool re formers." Dr. Cadman paid his re spects to the political machine with great vigor and incislveneos. He is a most effective speaker and those who have heard him do not wonder that he appears at frequent intervals upon the Chautauqua platform. He Is announced for the coming summer. Dr. Graham Taylor of Chicago com mons Is making a heroic effort to set tle the great strike between the con tractors and the union men. It Is sig nificant that he has been able to secure the appointment of a committee of bus iness men and union laborers. It is to be hoped that he will be able to bring about a reconciliation which has seem ed almost Impossible. Dr. Taylor rep resents a most important type of cit lien of whom there Is great need at the present time. He has sympathy re strained by Intelligence, and he com mands the respect of capitalists and laborers alike. If he succeeds In this the greatest undertaking of his life, he will be sure ot an unusually warm wel come at Chautauqua next summer, where he Is to deliver a course of lect ures. That will be an Interesting day on the Chautauqua platform for next summer when Mr. Francis Wilson In the after noon lectures on Eugene Field and In the evening a prominent dramatic read er will present "Cyrano de Bergerac." Dr. J. M. Buckley of New York Is as usual a prominent figure In the Meth odist General conference. The other day, when the question of admitting women delegates to the Methodist con ference was under discussion, and Dr. Buckley was as usual opposing the proposition, an Irritated speaker re marked that even in the garden of Eden an ancestor of a constant speaker in the conference was -present Dr. Buckley immediately replied that as he -understood It this person In the, garden used his persuasive powers to get wo man out of her proper sphere. Dr. Buckley's long experience In "Ques tion Boxes" at Chautauqua stands him In good stead when It comes to repar tee. His many admirers will welcome nim to the Chautauqua platform next summer. Grand Concerts and Musical Reci tals will be held frequently at Chautau qua during the coming Assembly. Among the noted vocalists and fore most musical artists will be the fol lowing; Mr. William H. Sherwood, pi anist; Miss Sybil Sammls, Miss Amy Murray, Mrs. Marie W. Longman, Mrs. Charles H. Trego, Miss Kdna Dice, iliss Bessie Bonsall, Mr. E. Giles, Mr. Flagler, organist, and Mr. H. B. Vin cent accompanist Rogers' Band and Orchestra, with a chorus of 400 voices will be heard In the amphitheater. The fact Is becoming generally recog nized that there is a great deal too much school vacation in this country, not for the teachers, but for the pu pils. It is not contended that teachers could do effective work for a longer time each year than they do now, but it is admitted that pupils could. The fact Is frequently pointed out that children In Germany make more rapid progress than the Americans for the reason that they have more school hours In a year. Such names appear on the program as Professor Moses Colt Tylor of Cor nell University, who will give a course of -lectures on American history. O. Stanley Hall, president of Clark uni versity, a course on Educational Top ics; Dr. Graham Taylor of Chicago, a series of five lectures on "The New So cial Chivalry"; Professor Homer B.

A Letter Which Telia How Folka la Thoae l)n)a Tttaard the Time. Iu the year l"Sd there was a houseful at a certain Kn;:lili country plnv in the autumn. It consisted of nn elderly dow ager and her two unmarried daughters, a niemtx-r ot parliament, two young otll ccrs and a clergyman, the writer of a letter which has lxvn handed down to this generation. The letter tolls how they pnsscd their time. There were, besides, occasional visitors iu the neighborhood. The lirst uiglit ot his arrival the writer, fatigued by his Journey, went to lied ear ly. In the morning he got up betimes in order to enjoy the air. The house, how ever, was still locked up. Not a single servant was down. Presently a boy ap peared, who told him that Mr. L.'s "gen tlemen" had entertained the visitors' "gentlemen" at cards till 5 In the morn ing. At 11 o'clock the party began to appear one by one for breakfast. The dowager and Mrs. L., the hostess, did not come down because, as the young Indies put it, they could not be "made up" sb early. The girls themselves, who had not takeu the trouble to "moke up," were iu rum pled nightcaps and their hair "In a brown paste" over their shoulders. The gentle men "joined with the second teapot," a very odd way of dividing the meal. Their heads were still "in disorder" from the gin punch of the night. Breakfast was got through about 1. The weather being rainy, the gentlemen played billiards nnd cards. The writer would have sought refuge In the library, but found that the books were for show and not for use. A box of things from a London dressmaker having providentially arrived, everybody men nnd women to getherspent the nfternoon in discussing chiffons. At 5 ihey dined. At 0 the men joined the ladies, and they sat down to cards. Farthing loo was the favorite game wheu the young ladles played. On Sunday sonic of them went to church. The young pio ple nodded nnd laughed all through the service. They sat iu a gallery by them selves; they cracked nuts nnd pelted ouch other with the shells, while one of them, who could draw, made caricatures of the country people down below. The clergy man, however, was a groat favorite lit the house, because he kept the ladies ac quainted with all village scandals; could tell the gentlemen where coveys of par tridges wore to be found; was useful in drawing corks. It remains to lie stated thnt one of the guests taught a new way of dressing mushrooms and superintended In person the preparation of the grouse soup. Chicago News. A Story ot Dr. Mitchell. ' The following anecdote is told of Dr. Weir Mitchell: While mi out) of liis for elgn trips he decided to consult a very eminent German specialist regarding a nervous disease of his own of lung stand ing. The two men had never met be fore, so he sent up his card as "Mr. Mitchell of 1'hilndelphia" nnd was re ceived by the German under this title. The physician examined him verv care fully ami then snid: "My dour sir. do you say you come from liiilndclpliiaV" I tie doctor was forced to admit the in iquity. "Well," said the physician, "have you consulted Dr. 8. Weir Mitchell of that city?" The doctor said that he had. "And he couldn't help you'" "No," was the uuswor. "Then," said the doctor, removing his sectacles with an air of finality, "I'm afraid I can't do anything for you." New York Times. Plows and Harrows.
