P. GRAY MEEK, - - -
A Dark Lantern Dodge.
Epiror.
That is a nice piece of political chicanery
which the MCKINLEY managers are try-
ing to play in their relations with the
oath-bound sectarian organization of the
AP A
It was given out from Washington last”
* week that- the leaders of that secret order
notified the different Republican presiden-
tial candidates to appear, personally or by
representatives, before a council of the A.
- P. A. and declare how they stood toward
that organization, in order that it might
determine which would be the most worthy
3 of its support. . The report represents that
all the candidates responded to this im-
perious demand except MCKINLEY, who
"declined to subject himself to such dicta-
tion, and thereupon the A. P. A.’s an-
nounced their determination to oppose his
nomination and to endeavor to defeat him
if nominated.
Shrewd observers of political movements
are subjecting to the ridicule it deserves |
this shallow attempt to conceal the alliance
between MCKINLEY and the dark lantern
organization, and it does not require much |
shrewdness to see through it.
There has been an abundance of surface
indications for months past that the A.
P. A.’s have been doing underground work
in the interest of the champion of tariff
robbery. The apparently strong Republi-
can expression in his favor is largely due
to the action of that organization. Its
policy of proscription is entirely in accord
with McKINLEY’S purpose of confining
American industry within a Chinese wall
of commercial restriction, and there has
been such a fellow feeling between them
that it was known that at least sixty dele-
gates to the St. Louis convention, belong-
ing to the A. P. A. organization, were
pledged to MCKINLEY’S support at the
very time when the dodge of representing
that the tariff champion had ‘spurned the
demands-of that organization was attempted
to be played off on the public.
The object of this game is apparent.
There is a large class of our people who
revolt at the purposes of this oath-bound
sectarian order. The large Catholic vote,
for example, would be solid against any
candidate who would be in alliance with it,
and liberal minded men of other denomi-
nations would be repelled in the same
manner. To avoid exciting such an op-
position it is the policy of the MCKINLEY
managers and the dark lantern leaders to
come to the understanding that it shall be
announced that MCKINLEY won’t have
anything to do with the A. P. A.’s and
scorns to comply with their demands. The
political object of such a deceptive an-
nouncement will be readily and fully un-
derstood and approved by the membership
of an order that works in the dark and has
its signs, and grips, and secret signals and
communications, while the people at large
are to be made believe that the great cham-
pion of protection, as the Republican can-
didate for President, has set his face
against the proscriptive methods of the
A. P. A
It is a smart dodge, but a little too
thin.
-
Murderous Literature.
Most of the Philadelphia papers that
publish Sunday editions treated their readers
to a murderous mess last Sunday by fur-
nishing them with the revolting details of
murderer HOLMES’ confession. There was
a keen rivalry among them to secure this
choice specimen of homicidal literature, and
the one that claimed to have obtained the
only true and authentic confession boasted
of its journalistic enterprise in paying some
thousands of dollars for it.
This was the atrocious stuff they foisted
upon the city for Sunday reading. What
a nice supplement it was to the Sabbath
devotions of the church goers, and how
beautifully it must have fitted in with the
service of prayer and praise on that day.
But laying aside ironical comment,
‘could there have been a grosser affront to
the religious sentiment and moral decency,
of a community than flooding it with such
murderous literature on a day set apart by
divine injunction for a spiritual purpose ?
‘What sort of an estimate of Philadelphia
morality, intelligence and religion was
made by the printers who calculated on
reaping a rich harvest from such a Sunday
publication ?
Tne journals that committed this offense
regarded it as a great journalistic achieve-
ment, and they do not appear torealize the
injury that is done by such publications in
familiarizing the public mind with the de-
tails of crime. It is a circumstance worthy
of note in this connection that the two
leading rivals in the HoLMES style of Sun-
day literature were the two leading Repub-
lican papers of the city. In their competi-
tion for the exclusive use of this murderous
stuff they tried to outbid each other in the
price offered to the wretched author. It
would seem that long habit in issuing the
corrupt doctrines of Republicanism so de-
‘ranged their moral faculties and blunted
their sense of right and wrong that they
were unable to comprehend the evil they
were doing in publishing a murderer’s con=
fession as Sabbath literature.
Yes, Mr. REEDER is out for Con-
gress, but there are a good many brick
walls between his office cnair, on Allegheny
street, and the $5,000 seat he covets in
Washington.’

Quay’s Blunder.
Boss QUAY, who has usually be
garded as having a level head, has
political freak of himself in posing as a
presidential candidate. When he grappled
with the hog combine last summer he did
not undertake a job beyond .his strength.
He could easily layout such scrubs as MAR-
TIN and HASTINGS, and, with less ease, such.
an opponent as MAGEE, and by such a vic-
tory he managed to increase his reputation
as a great political Strategist. When he
assumed the role of reformer he had no dif-
ficulty in managing the sham investigating
committee that was never intended to ex-
pose municipal nor any other kind of rot-
tenness, and this furnished him some capi-
tal to bank on as a champion of reform. °
But when he put himself forward as a
presidential candidate he got beyond his
depth. If it had been really his intention
to be a candidate only for trading purposes
the public would have regarded it as a
political gamble customary with politicians
of his character ; but when be allowed
himself to be put forward as a candidate
earnestly seeking a nomination he made
the blunder of his life in thus exposing
himself to ridicule and contempt by aspir-
ing to a position so greatly beyond his cali-
ber. A politician whose only reputation is
that of a shrewd wire-puller shrinks to an
insignificant figure as a presidential candi-
date. :

Thomas Jefferson.
The 152d Anniversary of His Birth Was Celebrated.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., April 13.—Un-
der the auspices of the Na tional association?
of Democratic clubs the 152d anniversary
of the birth of Thomas Jefferson, the found-
er of the Democratic party, was celebrated
at Monticello, where the author of the
declaration of independence lived and died.
At 12 o’clock the special train from Wash-
ington arrived, bringing a distinguished
party of national Democrats. Among these
were : Vice President Stevenson, Post-
master General Wilson, Attorney General
Harmon, Secretary Herbert, of the navy ;
Senator Jones, of Arkansas; Faulkner, of
West Virginia ; Pasco, of Florida ; George,
of Mississippi ; Martin, of Kansas ; Mitch-
ell, of Wisconsin ; White, of California and
Roach, of North Dakota ; Representatives
Sulzer, of New York ; Washington, of
Tennessee ; Clardy, of Kentucky ; Living-
ston, of Georgia ; Swanson, of Virginia ;
Tucker, of Virginia ; Pendleton, of Texas ;
Tyler, of Virginia ; Patterson, of Tennes-
see ; Williams, of Mississippi ; Lawson, of
Georgia ; Turner, of Georgia, and Mec-
Guire, of California.
The formal proceedings began with an
atldress by the Hon. Chauncey F. Black,
whose enunciation of the sentiment of J of:
ferson that the primary principle of Demo-
cracy was ‘‘absolute acquiescence in the
decisions of the majority’ was heartily ap-
plauded.
Ex-Governor Russell, of Massachusetts,
was received by the. crowd with ringing
cheers. His many patriotic allusions and
points were rapturously applauded.
‘When Senator Daniel, of Virginia, arose
to speak, his popularity in his native state
was made plainly apparent by the enthu-
siasm with which he was received. He
pictured to his audience in eloquent periods.
the prominent traits of character of Vir-
ginia’s gift to the national Democracy—
Thomas Jefferson.
After his eulogy of Jefferson had been
exhausted Senator Daniel referred to the
speech of Governor Russell and said he ad-
mired that address so much that he dis-
liked to dissent from it on anything. He
must be excused if he failed to see anything
in Jefferson’s teachings which summoned
us to abandon the bi-metallic money sys-
tem which Jefferson himself helped to es-
tablish. . He concurred with Governor Rus-
sell that Jefferson would never have made
an issue between Colorado and Wall street,
‘or between a debtor and a creditor class, or
upon any geographical division, but he
asserted that it was the Republican party,
and neither Jefferson nor the party of Jef-
ferson that did that very thing in 1873 in,
stripping silver of its equal coinage right
with gold ; that it was Wall street and
Lombard street that were the TS,
not Colorado, nor the west ; nor the debtor
class. But, said the Senator in closing this
part of his speech, I am not going to stay
at odds with our distinguished friend at
the grave of Jefferson. There was one thing.
that Jefferson said about money which we
will concur in, and that is: ‘‘that one warm
thought is worth more than money,’’ and
giving him the warm thoughts that one
upon his native heath should feel for as
honored guest, I would venture to say to
him, as Falstaff said to Prince Henry :
‘‘No more of that, ha, an thou lovest me.”
Indeed we will have here to-day the free
coinage of warm thoughts on the double
standard of Massachusetts and Virginia,
and I am willing to amplify the code of
our Democratic comrade, Tim Campbell,
of New York, and say for to-day, at least :
‘Neither money nor thetconstitution ought
to come between friends.’

Opening of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company’s New Delaware River
Bridge. Inauguration of all
Rail Train Service to the
Seashore.
The new Delaware river bridge of the
Pennsylvania railroad company will be
ed to travel by the inauguration of
r rough passenger train service from Broad
street station to Atlantic City, commericing
Sunday, April 19, 1896.
A morning express train will leave Broad
street station daily at 9.05 A. M., after ar-
rival of the night express trains from all
portions of the Pennsylvania railroad sys-
tem, and arrive at Atlantic City at 10.55
A.M.
An aftérnoon express train will leave
Broad street station daily at 7.00 P. M.,
and arrive at Atlantic City at 8.05 P. M
This train will connect with the day ex-
press and main line express from all points
in Pennsylvania and the West and North,
and the train leaving Washington at 3.15
P. M. and Baltimore at 4.20 P. M:
Returning, a morning train will leave
Atlantic City daily at 10.10 A. M., arriv-
ing at Broad street station at 11.57 A. M.,
and connecting with the Pennsylv. ania
limited and the fast line to the West and
North, and the 12.09 noon train will leave
Atlantic City daily at 4.45 P. M., arriving
at Broad Station at 6.40 P. M., and con-
necting with the 6.55 P. M. train for Bal-
timore and Washington and the evening
trains for all points on the Pennsylvania
system.
All of these trains will carry parlor cars.
An extra fare of twenty-five cents will
be charged in each direction on trains via
the Delaware river bridge, in connection
with tickets good via Market street ferry,
Philadelphia.
By the opening of this new all-rail route
to the seashore the transfer of passengers
and baggage through Philadelphia will be
avoided, and, as will be seen by the con-
nections given above, the territory from
from which passengers can reach Atlantic
City in a daylight journey has been ex-
tended in every direction—to Pittsburg,
Buffalo, Danville, and Tom Va.
Cambria for - Pattison.
EBENSBURG, Pa., April 13.—The Cam-

young school teacher who fell off a raft at
Mahaffey a few weeks ago, has been re-
covered.

Two EVENTS OF FRIDAY.-—One of the
large grey draught horses of the Bellefonte
fuel and supply company laid down and
died at noon that day. It had heart dis-
ease and George Tate was not even there to
see it pass away.
Dave Brown got on more ‘‘hooze’’ than
he could carry and Chief Montgomery fail-
ed in an attempt to skid him to the lock-
up. He was finally compelled to get Lar-
imer’s grocery wagon. Into it he piled
Dave and his load and they were seen no
more that day.

SUCCESS OF A FORMER BELLEFONTE
GIRL.—Many of our readers will remem-
ber ‘“‘Prof.”” Henry Phillippi, the seronaut
who located here shortly before the old
agricultural society suspended its annual
fair, and those who do not will possibly re-
call the man alluded to when they know
that it was he who made a startling and
unexpected ascension from the corner of
the fair grounds."
The day on which the ‘‘Prof.”’ was to
make his ascension was remarkable for the
enormous crowd of people at the fair.
Hundreds of horses weré tied on the
ground between the old exposition build-
ing and the south fence. It was right
through the midst of this net work of
horses, people and conveyances that a
crowd of boys and men were guiding the
great air-ship which was to carry the dar-
ing ‘“‘Prof.”’ into the clouds, while hisgym-
nastic feats, on a suspended trapeze, were to
be features that would render every wit-
ness spell-bound. Alas, for the star at-
traction. It went off before it was ready.
Some one, who realized what an awful
stampede that big balloon would cause,
as it went lurching a few feet over
the heads of the horses, cut the rope
and, like a shot, .the balloon sped
upward. Phillippi was not ready, but
nothing daunted he gave the people
the best show he could for their money.
He had been sent heavenward without any
preparation, and when cooler air strata were
reached he could not make his way into
the net about the balloon where he had
placed his clothes.
during the ride he had that time and when
he landed over in Penns valley the man
was 80 nearly dead that it took weeks for
him to recover.
Now this same ‘‘Prof.” Phillippi mar-
ried a sister-in-law of policeman Garis, of
this place, and among their children isa
fourteen. year old daughter, Nellie. She
lives with her parents in Reading, where
she lately won a very valuable prize that
was offered to the boys and girls of that
city by the Herald. The prize was for the
boy or girl who would gather the most
acceptable news items for that: paper in a
week.

FosTER’S TALK ON THE WEATHER IS
SHORT.—My last bulletin gave forecasts of
the storm wave to cross the continent from
the 16th to the 20th and the next will
reach the Pacific coast about the 21st,
cross the west of Rockies country by the
close of the 22nd, great valleys 23rd to
25th, eastern States 26th. This disturbance
will bring severe local storms and heavy
rains will fall in limited localities. Gen-
erally, the rainfall will be deficient and
the drought will begin to be effective in
the Ohio, Missouri, upper Mississippi val-
leys and in the north Atlantic Statés.
Rainfall in the southern States and on the
Pacific slope will be fair, cool weather in
the southeastern States and on the Pacific
slope. The warm wave will cross the west
of Rockies country about the 2lst, great
central valleys 22nd, eastern States 25th.
A cold wave will cross the west of Rockies
country about the 24th, great central val-
leys 26th, eastern States 28th.

AID THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS.—We,
the undersigned committee, representing
the DuBois relief commmittee in aid of the
widows and orphans of the victims of the
late mine disaster at the Berwind-White
shaft, in Sandy township, Clearfield
county, Penna’a, respectfully solicit your
aid and assistance in behalf of the follow-
ing resolutions, believing you to be inter-
ested in all charitable work, assuring you
that your kind assistance in this worthy
cause will ever be remembered by the
widows and orphans. The committee ap-
pointed to distribute this fund are among
the most representative men of DuBois, Pa.,
and the institution selected to receive all
funds—the DuBois deposit national bank—
is one of the strongest of its kind in the
State. To thisend we request you to kind-
ly aid us in bringing this worthy appeal be-
fore your people.
Resolved, That we deeply deplore the sad ca-
lamity which occurred on the morning of March
23d, 1896, at the Berwind-White shaft, in Sandy
township, Clearfield county, Pa., whereby thir-
teen men lost their lives while following their
usual vocations, leaving twelve widows and thirty-
seven orphans without any means of support.
Death came suddenly whilé they were working to
earn a livelihood for themselves and families. We
believe there rests upon this community a moral
obligation to help maintain these homes and
home influences for the future welfare of these
little ones so suddenly deprived of a father's care.
To this end we ask the local press, and the press
in general and all others who feel so disposed, to
assist us in extending this appeal to the public.
Resolved, That we male this appeal to the pub-
lic at large and invite everyone to render all possi-
ble financial assistance.
Resolved, That all contributions for this purpose
be received by the national bank of DuBois,
Pa., and that the names of the contributors and
the amounts contributed be acknowledged
through the press. ¢
Resolved, That Herbert A. Moore, burgess; J.
J. Daley, John Ditchburn, L. 8. Hay, J. P.; Wm.
Osburn, L. E. Weber and T. O. Clark be author-
ized to act as an executive committee for the dis-
tribution of the funds collected Among these dis-
tressed families.

STATE’S TEAM ALL RIGHT.—The open-
ing game of the base ball season for ’96, at
The Pennsylvania State College, was played
on Beaver field, Tuesday afternoon. .The
Washington and Jefferson college ball team
were the opponents of State and -a very
pretty game it proved to be.
Barring a light wind the weather was
ideal and the grounds were in fair condi-
tion. It was the first game for both clubs
and contrary to expectation all the men
played pretty fine ball.
The game opened with the visitors at ths
bat. They made one run during the half,
but the blue and white went them one bet-
ter in theirs and held the lead up to the
eighth inning, when the score was tied at 6-6.
Things got very exciting at that junct-
ure, Nesbit sent four men to base on
balls, but before three of them got home
he redeemed himself by catching a terrific
liner and retiring the side. In their half
of the eighth State added five more to the
score and it stood eleven to six at the fin-
ish. The features of the game were
Spiesman’s batting for State and Icher’s
playing at third for the visitors. Bechtel,
who now plays second for State, made a
pherromenal left hand jumping catch, in
the last inning, of a hit that seemed sure
for a base, and effected ‘a very pretty dou-
ble play.
The game dev eloped the fact that the
blue and white will be pretty strong again
this season. Nesbit and Hayes make a
very effective battery and should be better
than last year.” At short Rice will be jis-
sed for awhile but Spiesman, a new man,
started off so well that it will not be for
long. His batting will strengthen .the
team and though a littlé off in throwing he
covered lots of ground and displayed a good
head. Walker at third and Bechtel at
second will both be able to hold their posi-
tions, though the latter seemed a little rat-
tled at times, and threw too low to first.
Painter is a new man to the in-field and
while he played a fair game on Tuesday he
will have to make a stiff brace if he intends
keeping Atherton’s absence from being felt
there. In the field Greenland, Thomas,
Bryant and Curtin are being worked.
They all fielded the ball as rapidly as
could have been desired and kept their
territory well covered. Curtin and Brant
are weak with the stick and as both men
are about on a par in fielding it is hard to
tell which one will get the left field posi-
tion.- It will likely be Curtin.
"In general the team is in a better condi-
tion than was supposed and will more than
likely make a good record during the sea-
son.

WILL RE STARTED IN TEN DAyYs.—In
about ten days the work of laying track on
the Pine Grove Mills extension of the
Bellefonte Central railroad will be begun.
The rails will be taken from the Red Bank
extension and laid on the new line.
This is authentic and the work might
even be started sooner.

DIED IN THE PENITENTIARY.—August
ship, this county, was sentenced to two
years in the western penitentiary for
larceny. He had robbed a lumber camp in
the vicinity of his home. Last Tuesday
the man died in that institution and his
remains were brought to his home for burial.
It will be remembered that Weaver and
his wife, the notorious Fietta, were in
court several years previous to that, charg-
ed with having murdered Fietta’s father,
old man Auman, but were discharged.

“A THOROUGHBRED.’—This successful
London comedy was presented to a large
audience at the Bijou last night, and
scored an emphatic success. It is difficult
to decide whether the piece is a comedy or a
drama. Many of the situations are in-
tensely dramatic and many extremely
humorous. We have seldom seen an
audience ‘‘roar’’ the way it did at the side
splitting love scene of Willie Green’s in the
last act. That ‘quiet little game of
poker’’ will also be remembered. The
company was adequate to the requirements
of the different roles. Mr. Wilson as Wil-
lie Green and Kate Johnson as Mrs. Strong-
mind, made hits. Miss St. Clare, as Kate,
wore some beautiful gowns.—N. Y. Herald.

I hear very flattering compliments extend-

Rather ‘previous’ it seems to me. The other

quented walks, or rather paths, which should
be attended to, but we will wait til this im-
provement is completed and then ascertain
if any funds are in the hands of the treasur-
er. Of course the means for the building of
the walks mentioned above, were obtained
by private subscription.

‘made a very favorable impression. He has
quite a number of friends in this immediate
vicinity and also down the valley, but they
are rather scattered. His friends speak of
him as a gentleman of pronounced abilities
and very highly polished. They say he is
