Over a Thousand New Measures
Introduced Thus Far.
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION BILL.
Champion of This Proposition. Cannot
Agree t'pon a Satlnfoctory Hill, anil Thlf
May Inrt the I'lnn A 11111 to Protect
the State Forenta.
IlAnntsnrKG, Feb. 4. Tho lr-jjIiOnture
settled down to buslnpss again thin awn
ing with proKjiFcta of doing consliU'riiblc
rimtino work befoto the clone of tho week.
For the first time this nonslon the fonnto
him altown n dnnlre to do somi-thlnjr by
rneotinir nt 8 o'clock this ownlntr Instead
of 0. Commencing tomorrow the house
will hpgiu its regular sessions nt 10 o'clock
Instead of 11, iw heretofore, with no fixed
hour of adjournment. The members from
tho rural districts wnnted to fix tho hour
of niectlug at 9 o'clock, but they were out
Toted by tho city member. Tho hotis'o
will probably iKgln holding afternoon sen
lions toward tho close of the month.
This session Is far In advance of that of
two years ago with Its work. Tht may bo
accepted an a proof of the desire on the
part of a majority of the members to ad
journ earlier than usual. Two year ago
tho first bill reached the governor March
1. Tho first bill to go to tho governor this
session was on Jan. 80 and was approved
tho same day. Tho governor received two
other bills the past week, and during tho
current week It Is expected to send to him
Hot less than ten.
More than 1,000 bills have been intro
duced In tho two bodies, ono-half of which
have been passed upon by committee. Ex
cept tho appropriations committees, the
committees have fow bills to consider.
Chairman Marshall, of tho houso appro
priations committee, is preparing a special
calendar for appropriation bills to bo re
ported the latter part of tho week, In order
that they may be road the first time at the
evening session on Monday next.
Tho proceedings of the senate are not
llkMy to excite much Interest unless Sen
ator Porter's bill abolishing sectional
school boards In Philadelphia and creat
lng,a department of education Is reported
from the education committee, to which It
was committed last week after It had been
read the second time. Tho advocates of
tho measure will bo given a hoarlng on tho
bill during the week. The political oppo
nents of Senator Portor are opposed to It
on personal and political grounds, and will
kill it when it is reached on third reading,
If it is ever advanced to that stage.
For a Custodian of State Supplies.
Tho senate has passed finally the bill in
troduced by Senator McCarroll, of this
city, creating tho office of custodian of
stut-0 supplies aud fixing the salary at
$3,000 annually. It will como up in tho
bouse during the week, and tho Demo
crats, though in a doclded minority, will
make an aggressive fight agalnBt Its pass
. age. They will bo aided by some of the
trongest leaders of tho minority. Gover
nor Hastings is anxious that the bill
hould become a law in onr that he may
appoint his frlond, Captain John C. Da
lanoy, of this city, to tho placo, and there
doesn't Boom to bo much doubt of its pass
age. The forestry bill will come up In the
houso during the week. It was prepared
by tho stato forestry commission to pro
tect tho stato forosta from ravages by flro,
and provides for the appointment of fire
wardens by the commission, who shall
have authority to employ assistants to aid
in extinguishing the flames. The bill ex
cited muoh discussion in commlttoo and
en the floor of the house. The debate will
be rovived whou it comes up oa third
reading and final passago.
Governor Hastings tolls a good story on
Colonel Stahlo, of York, the first Republi
can ever elected to congress from tho Nlno
Jteenth district. Five years ago, when the
governor was a candidate for the nomina
tion against Delamator, one of his staunch
est friends was Colonel Stable. He was
one of the delegates to the convention
from York county, and after that body
had adjournod and the governor was not
nominated tho colonel called on him at
the adjutant general's office. He went up
on tho elevator and after he bad condoled
with him he asked:
"General, what does tho job of running
that elevator payf "
"Oh, 130 or $75 a month," was the reply.
Then Colonel Stable said, "General, we
are going to try for tho governorship four
years from riowf"
"Yes," suld the governor.
"And aftor you will be nominated and
elected," said tho colonel, "thero is one
thing I want to ask of you. If you aro
elected and wo are all living at that time
I want to be appointed to run that eleva
tor. It beats farming."
Governor Hastings told Colonel Stable
If ho was elected governor be (Stahlo)
should run the elevator. It happened that
Colonel Stahlo wa nominated for con
gress by the Republicans of the Nineteenth
district, and during tho campaign the
governor spoke at York. Among those
who sat on tho platform was Colonel
Stahlo. After Governor ' Hastings hud
spoken bo took a seat near him aud bud a
chat.
"Colonel," said tho governor, "what aro
your chances!"'
'Oh, it is pretty hard to toll," was the
reply. "So far as I am concerned it is go
ing to bo a tight race. But you aro all
right, you are sure to be elected governor;
and, say, general, don't you forget mo on
that elevator job."
fitahla Doesn't Want the Job.
Stable doesn't want the place, now as he
will get 15,000 for hi term as congressman,
and old "Sammy" Baker.of Hollldaysburg,
who has charge of the elevator, will be re
tained. Two bill which will materially ' affect
the profits of the Pullman Sleeping Car
company in this state if they beooiue law
have been introduced in the legislature;
one by Senator Coyle. of Schuylkill, aud
, the other by Representative Bliss, of Dela
ware. ThdIBUs bill fixe the rate of fare
at two cents a mile for 100 miles, and
third of a cent for every additional mile.
It prohibit the lowering of an upper
berth nnleas told, make It unlawful to
ell Intoxicating liquor on board th can,
aud prohibit the (toward, porter and eon-
duotor from receiving tip. Mr. Coyle'
bill provide for the payment of a Uoense
of 1100 to be paid for each buffet or dining
oar handled through the state upon which
Intoxicating liquor are told. The license
must be posted In a prominent place in
the oar. The penalty 1 $300 or sixty day
In prison, or both.
Representative Soyfert.of Lanoaster, ha
Introduced a bill in the house appropriat
ing $5,000 to erect a monument it Kphrata,
Lancaster county, to the memory of the
heroes of the revolutionary war. After the
battlo of Brandywlno about 500 of the
wounded of the continental army were ro
moved to the Convent cf the Seven Day
Baptists on tho site of Kphrata. Nearly
two hundred of those poor fellows died of
their wounds and a deadly fever which
broko out among thnm, and were burled
I In the old graveyard adjoining the con
vent. Their graves aro unmarked, al
though a half century a;o a movement
I was started to erect to them a monument.
After the cornerstone was laid tho project
was abandoned until two years ago, when
Mr. Hey fort introduced tho bill iu tho
house appropriating $5,000 to erect tho
monument. Tho bill was defeated in tho
hurry and bustle at the close of the scs-
1 slon.
Commissioner Bender's Little mil.
Stato Dairy and Food Commissioner
Reoilnr linn h ml Int.Pfwlilnml In flm liwrlsln.
turo a bill appropriating $J0,000 to pay tho
salary and expenses of his office the past
two years, the last legislature having failed
to make tho appropriation at tho timo the
office was created. Thore 1 a strong feel
ing against the commissioner among tho
mcmliers of tho house appropriation com-
j mlttee, to which tho bill was referred.
They claim he used his ofilco in an en-
! deavor to prevent their election, nnd that
he hod surrounded himself with agonts
who have prosecuted hotel aud restaurant
koepers for using oleomargarine nnd but
terlne solely for the purposo of securing
the fine provided for by the act prohibit
ing the sale in Pennsylvania of such
products.
The quarrel between Senator Quay nnd
David Martin, tho Republican loader of
Philadelphia, has brought Senator Pen
rose, of Philadelphia, to the front as a
political leader In the state. Mr. Penrose
is one of the brightest and most promising
young men in Pennsylvania, notwith
standing his recent failuro to secure tho
nomination of his party for mayor of
Philadelphia. Ten years ago when Pen
rose was a candidate for tho legislature
tho Republican leaders of Philadelphia
arranged for a meeting between he and
Senator Quay, who happened to be in tho
city before tho nominations wore made
looking over the political situation.
After the conference between thorn and
Penrose had retired Senator Quay said to
a friend whn tnu nmnnnt. rlnplm, thn nn.
rcrsatlon, "That young fellow scorns all
ngut, dui wnac queer shoes be wears.

special occasion no had on odd shoes. One

The senator is the handsomest man in tho
state legislature, and has tho respect of
all who know him, even his political ene
mies. The senate will tako up tomorrow on
final passage the bill introduced by Sen
ator Gobln, of Lebanon, authorizing tho
adjutants of the flrnnrl Armvnf tha VI n.
publlo posts to administer oaths and af-
iirmations to pensioners on tholr vouch
ers for the payment of pensions, the charge
for caoh oath to ha fifteen rents Thn Mil
will take away from many justices of the
peace a aoai oi money, as they are allowed
twonty-flve cents apiece for such oaths.
Compulsory Education Bills Dying.
Tho niOVCmont in favnr of rnmniilmnr
education has practically been abandoned
by the failure of Representative Farr, of
juacKawanna, ana seyrert, or .Lancaster,
its rival chamnlnns to jiirrwn nn a hill nt-
lsfactory to themselves or a majority of
the membors of the houso. The patriotic
orders have taken a hand in tho raovo
ment, and if such a measure does become
a law it will bo through tholr efforts. They
favor the Seyfert bill, but have agreed to
leave the matter to the legislature.
Tho patrlotlo orders are making a strong
fight for the passago of tho bill introduced
in tho houso by Mr. Smith, of Philadel
phia, making it a misdemennor for any
public school teacher to wear a religious
garb of any sect in the school room. The
house committee on iudlclarv ceiinrnl hni
eliminated the penalty clause and will re
port tne dui to tno house In that form, un
less it can bo persuaded to rescind Ira
action. The legislative committees of tho
Patrlotlo Order of Sons nf A
Junior Order of United Amorican Me
chanics will be given a hearing tomorrow
before tho commltteo.
The house has concurred in the action of
tho senate for tho appolutmont of a legis
lative committee to investigate tho charges
against the management nf thn atntn in.

norsviuo. npoaiter Walton will announce
the committees on the part of the house to

Armstrong, is likely to bo chairman of
tho committee to lnvustlcrate thn Wwiwx.
vllle Institution and Senator Gobln, of
jjcoanon, mat at Norristown.
The members of the legislature opposed
to the re-olection of Senator Cameron to
tho United States senate in 1897 have
formed a compact with David Martin and
Senator Porter, of Philadelphia, which
they believe will be mutually beneficial to
both partlos. In return for their support
of the Martin-Porter combine the antl
Camoronltes hove received a promise of
assistance from the friends of the two
Pblladolphlan. Cameron's enemies aro
secretly working for the nomination of
Charles Emory Smith, of tho Philadelphia
Press, for Cameron's seat two years henoo.
To Govern Revocation of Liquor Licenses.
A bill was introduced in the bouse to
night by Mr. Comrude.of Philndelphia.pro
vldlng that no rule to show cause why a
retail liquor license should be revoked
shall be granted by any court of quarter
sessions except upon an affidavit first
made and filed ot record, giving the names
and residence of tho persona making the
samo, and the spoclflo and particular
grounds upon which it Is basod, together
with accurate and exact dates and par
ticulars of the aliened violation of the law.
A oertifled copy of the affidavit shall be
served upon the person or persons upon
whom the rule Is takon to revoko the li
cense, and no such rule shall be heard or
considered by the court until proof Is made
to the satisfaction of the court that the
provisions of the act have been complied
with.
Among other bills were: By Mr. Talbot,
Chester, appropriating $5,000 for tbe erec
tion of a monument on the battlefield of
of Brandy wine to the memory of Lafay
ette, under th direction of commission
to be appointed by the governor; by Mr.
Douthett, Butler, creating school book
board to consist of the governor, the sup
erintendent of public Instruction and sec
retary ot tho oommon wealth, to correspond
with the publishers of school book to as
certain the standard prioe of such books.
Ccnourrent resolutions were offered by
Mr. Reluoohl, of Lebanon, providing for
the appointment of a committee, to con
sist of three members of the house and
two of tbe senate, to Investigate charges
that a number of employes of state Insane
hospital at Wernersvllle are unnaturalized.
So Very Easy to Glance at,
" Newspaper work must be easy,"
said Dingus, " nothing to do but write
about things you see and hear. If it
paia ueuer itl go into it." Now
Dingus, let U3 dispose of your last
proposition first. The well established
newspapers of the larger cities )icld
immense profits. They are veritable
gold mines to their owners. In the
smaller cities are hundreds of papers
that are good paying investments fr
the stockholders. In the country
towns and villages the papers that pay
at all yield good returns for the capital
invested. One fact must not be lost
sight of. If a paper loses money it is apt
to lose it fast. Work the business
beyond a certain mark and the profits
grow in double ratio to the expenses.
Many newspapers are conducted on
muse ousiness principles because the
ability to do good literary work and
strict business and financiering is
seldom combined in one person. This
is why city papers pay best. The good
business men are in the business
office and the good writers are in their
proper departmints. Now for your
first proposition. The work is hard.
It ages one fast. Those engaged in it
like it, and generally would do nothing
else if they could, and more generally
couldn't if they would. To do good
newspaper and literary work you must
be born with a natural aptitude for
the work, and then trained to it. Tbe
men who take it up in middle life and
make a success of it are as scarce as
hen's teeth. Nine tenths of the sue
cessful newspaper men first learned
the printer's trade and worked up.
Indeed a pretty thorough knowledge
of printing is almost absolutely nec
essary to a good writer. And many
a really good writer would fail as a
newspaper man, especially on the
country press, for there a man must
be everyihing. He must be able to
" boil down " the account of a murder
to a ' stick full," if necessary, or spin
out a whole seven column page of
interesting nothings, just as the occa
sion demands. Whether he wants to
or not he must be something of a
politician. He must appear at ease
in all kinds of society. He must, if
not able to make a regular speech, be
capable of " making a few remarks."
He must be a close financier and
generous in his donations to churches
and charities. He must meet his ob
ligations promptly and be very lenient
to those in debt to him. He must
be able to do a great many thirgs our
iriena uingus has never learned to do,
and if he is a born newspaper man he
will be the hanniest when the rArW
pushed, will smile through defeat snd
emulate truth when crushed to earth
by risinz aeain like a .ark. in a.hnv
and when the top round of the ladder
i
ureaivs ana lets mm to the ground he
