Admiral Dewey cays that he will not accpt the nomination for Presi dent under any consideration. xuc oeiiaiuriai contest is un changed. It is probable now that the Legislature will adjourn with out electing a United States Sena tor. Senator Quay's trial is now go ing on in Philadelphia. It was opened on Monday morning before Judge Biddle. There are seven Republicans and five Democrats on the jury. This morning's city pacers bring the news cf a terrible battle between 105 American and British sailors and rebels of the Somoan Island. Four Americans and two British marines were killed. It is not de finitely known, but it is probable that the rebels lost fifty men. It is said, that the occurrence was pro moted by a German planter, and that the tragedy took place on his ground. A demand has been made for his release, but it has been re fused. Complications of a very serious character may yet arise over the matter. The situation is con sidered extremely critical. A bill creating a new court for Philadelphia, with three judges has passed the Senate. They already have twelve judges there, most if not all of whom have declared that there is no necessity for this addi tional court. A large majority of the bar and nearly all of the leading newspapers are opposed to its cre ation. Notwithstanding this, the Senate has passed the bill. What the House will do remains to be seen. Should it become a law the Governor will have the appointment of the three new judges. It is said that he will appoint two Quay Re publicans and one Quay Democrat so that the new court will be noth ing more than a political pull for Quayites. As Governor Stone has declared his intention to veto all bills that unncessarily take money out of the treasury, we do not see how he can approve a measure that the people of Philadelphia do not want, and which will cost the stats $15,000 a year, and the city of Philadelphia many more thousands His action will be a test of his sincerity. Governor Stone is having a hard time to fill the vacancy on the Sup reme Bench caused by the death of Justice Williams. He first offered it to D. A. Watson of Pittsburg, a Democrat, who declined it. Now he has tendered the appointment to Hon. S.P. Wolverton of Sunburv. who has not yet decided what to do. Mr. Wolverton's fitness for the place 111 every way is unquestioned. He is one of the ablest lawyers in Pennsylvania, anc his practice is worth several times over what the salary of a Supreme Court Judge amounts to. Should he accept it, there is no good reason why he ought not to receive the nomination for the same position at the Demo cratic State Convention, and yet it seems quite certain that any Demo crat who accepts an appointment from Gov. Stone will meet with strong opposition in the convention. The Governor is 111 a dilemma. If he appoints a Republican to the ! place, he will offend a laree number of other Republicans who want it. ! And if a democrat accepts the ap pointment the chances of defeat in the Democratic convention are strongly against the appointee. The best way out of the difficulty is for the Governor to wait until after the Democrats have made their nomina tion, and then appoint that nominee to the place. There could be no objection to his acceptance then. STATE NEWS ITEMS. Hazleton business men have reg istered a protest against the removal of the postoffice from its present lo cation. The lifeless body of Cyrus M. Bower, of Williamsport, who was struck by a train, was found dangling from the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad bridge, which spans the Loy alsock creek. At a meeting of the local board of trade, of Lancaster, a resolution was adopted requesting the members of the Legislature to oppose the pass age of the bill now pending which proposes to increase mercantile tax. John Wallen has been missing from his home in Royersford since March 27. On that day he started out to look for work, saying he would return on the following day, but his wife has heard nothing from him since. Andrew Carnegie, the steel king, has made an offer to the Woman's Club of McKeesport to donate $50, 000 to erect a library and music hall in that city, the proviso being that the citizens shall secure the site for the building and maintain it, which, he thinks, would cost about $3,000 a year. A site has already been donated by Biddle B. Coursin for the proposed building. After inspecting and deliberating for three weeks on the various sets of plans for the proposed new Court House, at Wilkes-Barre, in consulta tion with an advisory committee, com prising the members of the Luzerne bar, the County Commissioners on Friday decided to accept the plans submitted by Architect F. J. Oster ling, of Pittsburg. The new building will cost half a million dollars. Largest Switch Plant in the World- What is described as the largest and most complete switch and signal plant ever constructed is being installed at the new South passenger station at Boston. Twenty-eight tracks in the terminal are to be controlled from this station. Under the old system of levers connecting, throuuh movahle roads, with the switches this station would require a building fully 130 feet long, and 160 levers. with nine men to work them, thus greatly increasing the possibility of error. The system adopted, however, is one in which compressed air plays an important part, and with its use only three men will be required to direct the 5,000 or 6,ooo train movements daily, which will be the rule when the yard is in full operation. uisuostons pride that no other station in the world presents in its track system such facilities for moving, simultaneously or otherwise, so large a number of trains. This Fellow Evidently Admires the Girlr. A Freeland young man who joined Uncle Sam's fighters two months a?o writes home as follows : "Two months ago" savs he. "I left Tampa for this land, which we are trying to liberate. For forty-five davs I have never seen a woman. Fellow citizens, it you want to annreciate a woman, get away from her. If you want to know what a eranrl. olnri.m and helping companion a woman is. just join the army as I did. See noth- mg but men from morning till night, eat with men, talk with men, help men, carry men, walk over men. and nothing but men. Live in a perpetual atmosphere of suppressed profanity and tobacco smoke, and at the end of tiiree weeks you would be passionately enamored with the mummy of an Egyptian servant girl and give her an electrical kiss that would turn ooo years of dried flesh into life." Quite a Difference- There is some difference between Democratic and Republican rule the state of Pennsylvania. It is shown when we look at the condition ol ti e state's finances. Robert K. Pattiscn retired from the office of Governor in January, lane. 1 Here was then in the state treasury a surplus of between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000. At the present time the surplus is tone and in stead there is a deficit amounting to $5,000,000. Quite a difference te tween Democratic and Republican methods of administration, judging irom financial conditions. 'FIGHTING" GUY HENRY. How, TVIim unit Wlior II Won Bit Hick- name. "You can depend on It, 'Fighting Guy' will gee to It that the troops un der his command have the finest bar racks on the Island of Porto Rico," re marked Major George C. Crager, late Cnited States special Indian agent, be fore a number of Phlladelphlans who were discussing the future welfare t tho United States forces In the An tilles. "That Is General Henry's reputation In army circles," continued Major Crager. "Whenever there Is any trouble that needs straightening out, 'Fighting Guy' Is sent there." "How did he get the name of 'Fight ing Guy?'" asked one of Major Crag er's guests, and the major thereupon proceeded to enlighten them. "In the Sioux campaign General Henry led a battalion of the Third cavalry against Crazy Horse, the In dian chief. In this battle the general was shot In the face. He was carried off the field, and it was thought he would die. He pulled through, how eyer, and In order to regain his health he was sent as commandant to a Cali fornia post. There he was entirely TP stored, and since then has been en gaged In every Indian outbreak. "His latest achievement was tils coming to the relief of the Seventh cavalry In the Ill-fated battle of 'Wounded Knee,' South Dakota, on New Year's day, 1891. General Henry, with his four companies of the Ninth or colored regiment, marched from Fort Robinson, Neb., to Fine Ridge agency, S. D., a distance of 198 miles, In a day and three-quarters. They had little or no rest, and the most pe culiar part of the entire Journey was that upon the arrival at their destina tion not one of the general's soldiers had a sore-back horse. The only stop they made was at White Clay Creek, where they dismounted, and coffee and hardtack were issued to them. From there they marched on to the agency without Interruption. On their arrival at the agency news was sent out to them by couriers that the Seventh cav alry wns hemmed In by the Indian forces, and but for the timely arrival of (at that time) Colonel Henry there would have been a repetition of the Cus ter massacre. Before that time the Seventh cavalry always entertained a sort of antipathy against the Ninth on account of color prejudice, but there was not a man that day who would not gladly have embraced bis dusky rescuers all the way down the line. "The name of 'Fighting Guy' Was fastened upon Colonel Henry when he led the charge against the Sioux in 1S76. He was the only commander who dared lead a small band of deter mined men against an army of well armed Indians. Upon his return to camp after capturing a band of Sioux under command of Roman Nose, the then leader of the Uncapapa Sioux, General Henry was congratulated, and one of the number of Crow scouts who had been enlisted for this campaign nicknamed him 'Fighting Guy. Since then the name has stuck to him In army circles, Just as the name of 'Fighting Payuaster' adheres to Gen eral Thad. H. Stanton, the only pay master on record that has seen active service." "Pride Goeth "Before a Fall" Some proud people think they have strong constitu tions, and ridicule the idea of disease. Such people neglect their health, let the blood run down, and their stomach, kidneys and liver become deranged. Don't be foolish about your health Use Hood's Sarsaparilla and you will prevent the fall and save your pride. 8orof ulous Hip Disease - " My boy Willie had scrofulous hip disease from baby. Abscesses developed. Months at the hospital, with best treatment, did no good. They said he would never walk again. He was helpless and wusted away to jiothiiiK but skin and bone. Hood's Sarsaparilla bad helped me, uud I kuvo It to him. Imagine my delight at a wonder mi change. Abscessus all healed, crutches thrown away, lie Is now tull and stout, perfectly well and the thanks are all duo to Hood's Sarsaparllln. Other mothers with crippled children should know this." Mks Kmma V. Vvrr, V olpole, Mass. Nervousness-" I was weak, nervous and very UulU-aiu, stHKKered In attempting to walk. Hood's Saraapurilla and Hood's rills made me well. I feel like another person." Mas. Lizzig SHitamtBT, Conduit Street, Ext., Annapolis, Md. Dyspepsia-" We all use Hood's Barsa parlilu. H cured my brother-in-law and myself of dyspepsia. I owe my life to It." M. H.
