New Yorkers should not regard the Dewey triumphal arch a hoodoo, just because two Italian sculptors have dropped dead while working at it. We see no reason why it should be regarded as such. They are not the only foreigners who have dropped dead while going against the hero of Manila. ORE AS Y ON TflE ISSUES- Hon. William T. Creasy, Demo cratic nominee for Treasurer of Pennsylvania, is not wasting any time in endeavoring to prove that the Philippine war is an outrage and a blunder, or that the expan sion of American commerce in the Orient is an undesirable thing. Mr Creasy leaves it to the Quay ma chine to take refuge in the exploita tion of national and international issues, and, in his speech accept mg the nomination of his party, addresses himself directly and sole ly to the discussion of the abuses attaching to the machine adminis tration of the affairs of this com monwealth abuses which the De mocracy of the state pledges itself to correct, if it secures an oppor tunity, and for the correction of which men of the Creasy type are visibly needed in the public ofnees. The Democratic nominee, in order to demonstrate the particular re forms essential m the office to which he aspires, sketches in an impressive fashion the historv of the State Treasurership and the manner in which a succession of docile and pliant occupants thereof have played into the hands of a 'corrupt ring and deprived the state of its just dues. Under such man agement, he says, " The millions of the people's money have been held as the estate of the party machine and administered at the behest of the party boss ; they have been de posited with political batiks and po litical bankers for private gain ; , they have been loaned out to the political boss, to the members of his family, to his lieutenants and to his mercenaries and his tools ; they have been handed over for stock jobbing and stock gambling to corrupt politicians ; their use has been sold by the same agencies for interest paid to the Treasurers, to other public officials, and to con spicuous managers of the machine f they have been made to pay annual tribute regularly to furnish the ma chine itself with funds to debauch the elections and to elect machine candidates ; thev have been in steady and systematic corrupt ma nipulation by political State Treas urers during decades of machine rule." . Nor is this statement in the least exaggerated for campaign purposes. All that Mr. Creasy charges, and ntore, has been proved over and over again by private and public investigation. In the Bardsley trial, and more recently in the ar raignment of senator Quay on the charge of being concerned in the farming out of public money, the revelations were ample to convince the people that Republican btate Treasurers are ele:ted merely as tools of a powerful and unscrupu lous syndicate, which derives much of its influence from its command of state money. If there is to be a restoration of healthful conditions in the state treasury, it can only be brought about, as Mr. Creasy con tends, by taking the Treasury out of the hands of those who have abused their control of it for so many years. nttsburg Leader. STATE NEWS ITEMS. Willie Lloyd, 14 years of age, a bell boy in the engine house at the Locke slate quarry, Slatedale, was instantly killed by a traveling J crane rope falling upon him Mon day. A message was received Satur day from Jacob Graebcr, who is at St. Michaels, Alaska, announc ing the death of his brother, John Giaeber, of Shamokin, No further particulars are given. Falling asleep on the Shamokin Mt. Carmel trolley road Monday night, Frank Steelcox, of Mt. Car mel, aged 33 years, was cut in half by a car. The motorman was un able to see him owing to a sharp curve. A freight wreck occurred in the lower yard of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Altoona, late Tuesday afternoon. Kleven cars were de molished and Agustus Steinwitz, of Ilarrisburg, a brakeman, was badly injured. Traffic was delayed several hours. While trying to cross the trol ley track at Kastou Tuesday after noon in front of one of the Transit Company's cars, Jacob Price, 15 years of age, of South Kaston, was run over. His right leg was cut off at the knee and he was so badly hurt about the head that it is feared he will die. Samuel Orr, a woodsman, liv ing near Ralston, was lodged in jail at Williamsport by constable Lusty. Orr is said to have stolen a shot gun, Constable Custy found him at Blossburg. Some one opened up and in the shooting that followed Orr fell with a bullet in his thigh. Squire Miller sent him to jail for court. Dr. William Corrigan who left Hazleton eighteen months ago for the Klondike, returned to that town unexpectedly Sunday night. He made a lucky strike and now lias enough money to see him comfort ably through life. Part of his fort une will be used to pay Ins expen ses for a post-graduate course in the Jefferson Medical College, Phila delphia, at the completion ot which he will take up the practice ot med icine in Hazleton.

In their ambition to make it realistic they drove a nail char through the middle finger of the left hand of Alice Dell, aged 5 years, daughter of John Dell. When the villagers responded to her screams they found 'that she had been nailed fast to a tree, and the task of removing the nail was a uaiiiful and arduous one. Grave fears are entertained as to the re suits of the wound. "I want a cheap pistol as only need to use it once," was the remark made by Samuel Lowen stein, one of Tainaqua's leading citizens, as he purchased a revolver in a local store last week. Hi words proved true, as the first bul let fired found lodgment in his brain Tuesday morning. Lowetistein's wife, who was in the dining room heard a report and hastened in the direction from which the sound came, discovering the form of her husband outstretched upon the bed with a smoking revolver 111 one hind, a mirror in the other and blood flowing fiom the right temple Despondoncy caused by ill health was the cause for the rash act. Mrs. Grash, wife of Micha! Grash, one of the quartet of prison ers who escaped from the Pike county jail, with eight children the oldest 14 years old, on Tuesday left her home in Westfall township eight miles from Milford. The members of the family took nothing with them but the clothes they wore Before departing Mrs. Grash went to Matamoras and told George L,uckey to take the farm, stock crops and furniture and do what he pleased with them, saying she was going to leave the country tor good This leads the authorities to believe that Grash, despite the watch on his place, saw his wife and made arrangements for their departure and that lie may never be captured ft Hut to err all ihe time is criminal or idiotic.

A Xoml.er of THIes Wfclch AM j Ilnther Knlvmatle and Diffi cult to Prniiotjace, Th woman's club movement baa as sumed suchan extent that it has attract ed the attention of the United States department of lubor, which has recent ly issued an elaborate report on the at titude of women's clubs toward social economics, snjs the rittsburgh Lhron-icle-Telcgraph. Accompanying the ar ticle axe some statistics which indicate that there are few settlements of any size in our glorious country without a woman's club. 'Utie name, location and purpose of each of 1.2S.1 womeu's clubs are given in detail, and it appears tnat this by no means exhuusts the list. An examination of the list shows that next to the local title of woman's club Shuke speare's name is a favorite one. There are a number of titles which nre rather enigmatic. What, for in stance, is the meaning of "the Leshche," the name of a club at Dalton, da.? Then there is the "Nike" of Chicago, the "Thcrlsttrinl" of Marion, la.; tho "Anarkrisinns" of Sioux City, the "Am moncoiigin" of Cumberland Mills, Me.; the "Mcthebesio" of Itocklund, Me.; the "lleptorean" of Somerville, Mass.; the "Alsbiec" of Grand Uapids, the "Chiro- peun ana tiie "rnoTerou", uom or r.rooklyn, and the "Anlirhebriah" of rrovidenee. Such names as "Tekeos now" and "So-jro-ye-wnt-ha" nre per haps of Indian origin. There Is a frank ness in Ihe title of "Old Maids' Social club" of YVoonsockct, which inspires re spect. It is, however, doubt f ul whether anything descriptive is meant by tho title of the "Nashnway" club of Nashua, N. II. There is an Anthony club, but no Cleopatra club. HONOR DUE TO CANADA. The Flrt Vessel to Croi the Ocean by Steam Tower Sailed from QofliM. An interesting but little known bit of history in connection with early steam navigation on the ocean was brought o public attention in the recent address of the venerable Kivns lully on his election to the presidency of the re cently organized Engineers' club of To ronto, snys the Engineering ews. This was to the effect that to the province of Quebec belongs the credit of having built the first steamship that crossed the Atlantic from either side. The steamship was called the Royal William, commanded by Capt. McDou gall, and Bailed from Quebec on August 5, 1833, arriving at Oravesend on Sep tember 11, having steamed the whole distance. This seems at first slghttn contradict the well-known claims to priority made for the Savannah ns the first steamship to cross tho Atlantic. Ihe bavannan, however, on ber memorable voyage from Savannah to Liverpool (May 28, 1S10, to June 20, 1819) used her engines during 18 days and progressed under sail the remniudcr of the tirue, the pad- dlewheels being hoisted on board when not in use. The Uoyul William, therefore, ap peers to linve been the first vessel to make the varoge using steam for the whole distance.
