It is reported that John N. Gord

candidate for County Commissioner.
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.

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

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

WOMEN'S CLUBS' ODD NAMES.
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.
