America is a great country. In
variety and grandeur of natural scenery
it is unrivaled. Its wooded heights,
its fertile valleys, its boundless plains,
its rugged and rocky mountains, its
great lakes, its balmy slopes are the
admiration of all mankind. To traverse
this great country, to behold its diver
sities and its wonders, is a liberal edu
cation, a revelation to the immured
metropolitan citizen. The Personally
Conducted Tour to California under
the direction of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company which leaves New
York on January 8, 1898, affords a
most excellent opportunity to view the
vast variety and boundless beauty of
this marvelous land. The party will
travel westward in special Pullman
cars in charge of a Tourist Agent and
Chaperon, stopping enroutezX Omaha,
Denver, Colorado Springs, Manitou,
Garden of the Gods, Glenwood Springs
and Salt Lake City. In California
visits will be made to Monterey and
the famous Hotil Del Monte, Santa
Cruz, San Jose, Los Angeles, San
Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino,
Rtdlands, and Pasadena. The party
will return on the "Golden Gate
Special," the finest train that crosses
the Continent, leaving Los Angeles
February a. and stopping at Tueson,
El Paso, and St. Louis. Eighteen days
will be spent in California. Round
trip rate, including all necessary ex
penses during entire trip, $335 from
all points on the Pennsylvania Rail
road System east of Pittsburg ; $330
from Pittsburg. For itinerary and
full information apply to tickets agents

Connell For Governor.
His Name is Enthusiastically Mentioned At
A Club Dinner.
At a reception and supper given in
his honor Monday night by the Scran
ton Rowing Association, of which he
is a member, Congressman William
Connell was mentioned by several of
tiie speakers as one whom the club
would like to honor with the Republi
can nomination (or Governor. Mr.
Connell thanked the speakers and the
club for their well wishes, and said
that the nominee should be a repre
sentative of the common people, not
a tool of any clique or sect, a man
thoroughly independent of influence
and one who could completely surren
der himself to such an exalted office.
As this is what Mr. Connell stands for;
his remarks were received as signifi
cant of his willingness to be com
manded by his party, and brought
forth loud applause.

A woman weighing over six
hundred pounds died in California
last week, and in order to get her

It begins to look as though a
prediction made by a certain Blooms
burger twenty five years ago when the
Neal furnace was going full blast,
would come true. He said while in
conversation with a friend that he
would live to see grass growing over
the ground on which the furnace
stood. If the work of tearing the old
structure is continued until finished
grass will be growing tnere next
summer.
The Lata Dr. Evan's Estate.
Dr. Thomas W. Evans, the Phila-
delphian, who has been practicing
dentis'ry in Paris for many years and
who through his intimacy with Napo
leon and many of the royal families of
Europe, was able to accumulate a vast
fortune, died last week in Paris. In
September his wife died suddenly and
when he brought her body home, tor
burial in Philadelphia, he inquired
minutely about many of the educa
tional institution? of the United S'.ate
and intimated that he intended to
remember them in his will.
His estate is valued at $12,000,000
or $15,000,000 and both his lawyers
and friends acknowledged that the
bulk of it is to come to America for
educational institutions. '

Perhaps the public has noticed
the large number of "satisfactory'
tests of armor plates and projectiles
at the Indian Head proving grounds.
And perhaps it has marveled at the
small number n there Have been
any rejections of the articles test
ed. But there is nothing to wonder
nt really.
At these grounds the other day
a piece of armor, a specimen of a
consignment of 500 tons for a battle
ship, was tested. 1 he news story
tells us that when the armor itself
was tested it withstood the impact
of projectiles fired at high and low
velocity. The test was satislac
tory. " Immediately afterward,
when a projectile was to be tested,
the same piece of armor was used
as a target and the projectile went
through the plate. This test was
also "satisfactory."
Since the projectiles and the ar
mor plates are satisfactory according
to which is being tested, how will a
United States battleship compare
with a foreign battleship in war ?
Will the enemy's projectiles pene
trate American armor, or will Amer
ican projectiles fall harmless from
the sides of the enemy? Let us hope
we may not see American ships pro
tected with painted wood armor and
supplied with kiln-dried projectiles.
Of course we insinuate nothing,
except that queer satisfactory tests
seem peculiar to those who don't
train with Mars. Ex.
The Factory Laws.
James Campbell, State Factory In
spector, in his annual report to the
Jovernor, announces that mills that
were idle for two and three years are
now in operation, others have in
creased their capacity, and new ones
are in course of construction. A large
increase in the number of persons em
phved is also reported. The inspec
tion work has been satisfactory, and
the orders issued generally complied
with. Of 3,317 orders issued, 3,044
nave been executed. 1 hose not re
ported are due largely to the fact that
an but ihree deputies have been in
specting bake shops since July 8th.
I here were 940 accidents reported,
94 less than last year. Fifty of that
number were fatal, 27 less than last
year.
While recent changes in factory and
sweat shop laws, Mr. Campbell says,
will increase the work and expense?,
benefits will accrue to the working
people and more healthful conditions
under which the bread and clothing
will be made will justify all the addi
tional cost and work. The new law,
requiring all children between the ages
of 13 and 16 years to be able to read
and write the English language, or at
tend school sixteen weeks before they
can be employed, goes into effect Jan
uary 1 st, 1898. The ultimate result
of that provision will establish a higher
standard of education, and better fit
the children to become useful.
Jury For Martin Trial.
Judge Lynch Directs the Coroner to Conduct
the Drawing.
Judge Lynch, on Tuesday, handed
down an order in reference to the
drawing of jurors who are to officiate
in the trial of Sheriff Martin and his
deputies, on the charge of murdering
Hazleton strikers.
The Court declares Sheriff Martin
incompetent to officiate in the draw
ing, owing to the part he is to play
in the case, and therefore directs the
Coroner of Luzerne county to act in
the Sheriffs stead.
