THURSDAY, JANUARY n, 1900.
Julia Marlowe, the actress, has
Seen granted a divorce from her
husband for cruel treatment.
The home of Joseph Tulitzer in
New York, publisher of the U'orJ,
was destroyed by fire on Tuesday.
The housekeeper and governess lost
their lives.
It is stated as a fact that there
are more prisoners from Lycoming
county in the Eastern Penitentiary,
at Philadelphia, than from any
other county in the state, with the
exception of Philadelphia.
Robert T. Lincoln and Norman
B. Read, executors of the estate of
the late George M. Pullman, of
Chicago, were on Friday last allot
ted $425,000 as compensation for
their services. This is claimed
to be the largest amount ever allow
ed executors of any estate handled
by the probate court of that city
The estate will figure up to nearly
$14,000,000.
The English law against a man's
marrying his deceased wife's sister
has been given fresh prominence in
this country by the recent arrival
ot a couple who came thither to
avoid it. The law, as is well known
had its origin in the ministration of
a verse of the Mosaic law on niar
liage. In the marriage laws of 185 1
(32 Henry VIII) we find that "A
man may not marry his deceased
wife's sister, nor her daughter, but
he may marry bis first cousin.
These laws have been amended
again and again, but the one pro
niDiuou nas neia last, it exists in
no other country, not even Scotland
or Ireland, and to avoid it a couple
have only to go abroad, since the
English civil law is that a marriage
is vaua at nome 11 valid abroad.
1 nis is me lex loci and it gov
erns all cases except in polygamous
countries.
A Square Stalwart fight
It is an open secret that the
friends of Quay mean to make
square Stalwart battle in every Leg
islative district of the State, and to
enforce distinct Stalwart mastery m
the State convention and in the
general management of the Repub
lican party. In the contest of two
years ago compromises were made in
a number of the counties and mixed
Quay and anti-Quay candidates
were nominated for the Legislature
The result was divided delegations
in soriie districts on the Senator
question and disturbing local agita
tion among their constituents. The
Independents in that contest, with
but little organization, defeated
number of the Quay candidates for
the Legislature by the election o
Democrats and carried a fusion
ticket in Chester county.
The battle of 189S may now be
accepted as a mere preliminary
skirmish to the contest that is close
to hand between the Stalwarts and
Independents, with both entering
thje struggle determined not to give
compromise or quarter. Where the
Stalwarts or Quay followers have
the power to nominate a legislative
ticket they will make it distinctly
Stalwart from top to bottom, and
the Independents will meet such
nominations by aggressive opposi
tion regardless of the possible or
probable election of Democrats. On
this point the two opposing forces
will start out occupying the same
attitude, and either will oppose the
success of the ticket of the other
regardless of political consequences
Such a conflict, involving war to
the death between two opposing el
ements of a great party, must re
suit in the complete overthrow of
one and the complete masterv of
the other. There will be no mid
die ground. It is a desperate pol
icy, but both sides have been grad
ually drifting to it ever since the
election of two years ago, and the
desperate and decisive struggle we
have indicated could be prevented
only by the reconvening of the
Legislature and the election of
Senator, all of which may now be
regarded as most improbable. We
present the political conditions as
they exist, and both sides may as
well look the fact in the face that
the Stalwarts or Quay followers
nd independent or insurgent lines
will be even more aggressively hos
tile to each other in the coming
campaign than either will be to the
. nt 1 - rv
Democrats. r-nua. nmes.
A Few Occurences of the Old Year Worth
Knowing.
Death lias all seasons for its own
and it is surprising, in looking over
the records, to find how many dis
tinguished people have been gathered
in by the dread reaper during the per
lod covered by this review. First on
the long list by virtue alike of the
dignity of the office which he occupied
and of his own engaging and resource
ful personality should be placed the
ame of Garret A. Hobart, formerly
Vice President of the United States.
Perhaps none of his predecessors in
the Vice Presidency, that tomb of po
litical ambitions, had made his in.
fluence so much and so beneficially
felt in national affairs as Mr. Hobart,
and he was possessed, in. addition, of
so many amiable qualities,That his de
cease was felt to be a public loss and
was the subject of great and general
regret. Other American statesmen
and publicists of prominence who have
passed away during the year are Nel
son Dingley, the Republican leader in
the House of Representatives and the
author of the Tariff bill now in oper
ation Richard Parks Bland, ex-Senator
Charles R. Buckalew, the
veteran Justin S. Morrill, ofVermont;
ames B. hustis, formerly Ambassador
of the United States at Paris, and ex
Senator and Attorney General Gar
land. Among foreign men of affairs
whose deaths are noted are Felix
Faure, President of the French Re
public ; Emilio Castelar, President of
short-lived Republic of Spain ; Count
Caprivi, Chancellor of the German
empire, ana uenerai manco, ex-
President of Venezuela.
Literature has lost representatives
in Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth, Grant
Allen, Horatio Alger, Florence Mar
ryatt, and William Black ; science is
the poorer by the deaths of Dr. D. G.
Bnnton, Sir Douglass Gahon, and
Wilhdm Eberhard Bunsen ; the state
has lost Apustin Daly, John Sleeper
Clark,. Charles Coghlan, and Emma
Walker ; the famous artists, who have
gone, include Rosa Bonheur, the il
lustrious painter of animals, and Bir
ket Foster, the English landscapist
and engraver; and music mourns the
taking off of Johan Strauss, the waltz
king, and of Richard Stahl, the prom
ising young composer of popular comic
operas. 1 he dead inventors are bteph-
en A. Morse, and Ottmar Mergenth-
aler. Among the leaders in the world
of business and finance the deceased
comprise Cornelius Vanderbilt, Frank
Thomson ex Judge Hilton, Roswell
P. I1 lower, Dell Nobit, Charlemage
Tower and Henry B. Plant. Eminent
publisher and editors and writers, who
have gone are Robert Bonner, Joseph
Medill, John A. I-reas, John Russell
Young, Robert Ingersoll, and William
Henry Appleman. 1 he legal profes-
fession is the poorer by the loss of F.
Carroll Brewster, Henry C. Town-
send, Judge Reeder, Justice Henry
W. Williams, of the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania, and Justice Stephen
John-Field of the Supreme Court of
the United States. The ministry of
religion has lost Bishops Williams,
O Hara and Newman, Dwight L.
Moody and Fathers P. A. Jordon and
Nicholas Cantwell, and among the
prominent citizens who are no more.
are Chares F. Guillou, Chas. T. Field,
Win. H. Rhawn, Wm. P. Tatham,
Thomas H. McAllister, Amos M.
Slack, Thomas Cochran, Joseph H.
Menn, Samuel G. King, James Mc
Manes, ex-Provost Charles J. Stille,

Horace Stephens, and Wilson H.

A Southern Jamboree
We have just received from the
publishers a copy of this most unique
musical composition. It is certainly
one of the most catchy and attractive
pieces of music .that we have ever
heard. It is almost impossible to keep
your feet still while it is being played
and it is making as big a hit as
"Georgia Camp Meeting." A suffi
cient guarantee of its merit is the fact
that it is from the pen of Mr. J. W.
Lerman, the composer of the now
famous "Kay a Kaya Dance." It has
been dedicated to Mr. Thos. F. Shan
non and introduced by him and his
famous Twenty-Third Regiment Band,
N. G. S. N. Y. Mr. Shannon, who
was formerly manager of Sousa's Great
Band, knows a good thing when he
sees it, and he is having such success
in playing it that Sousa, Innis, Brooke,
Washington Marine and all the largest
and best known bands have taken it
up and are uow playing it to most en.
thusiastic audiences. The regular
price of this music is 50c. per copy,
but if our readers will be sure to men
tion the name of this paper they can
secure a copy by sending 20c. to the
Union Mutual Music Co., 20 E. 14th
Street, New York.
The entire main line of the Phila
delphia and Reading Railway com

menced upon the line between Read

People of Blootnsburg will have an
opportunity of witnessing on Monday
evening next, January 15th, an elab
orate presentation of Lincoln J. Car
ter's "Chattanooga." one of the most
stirring dramas seen in this city for
many years. "Chattanooga", as the
play might suggest, is a play dealing
with tht incidents prior to and during
the battle of Lookout Mountain, with
a plot of unusual strength, based on
the neutral ground of the heroism of
the Union and Confederate soldier
and honor of Southern women. Mr.
Carter has utilized every opportunity
to construct a drama of national in
terest and importance. That he has
done so is fully verified by the flatter
ing commendations made in both
sections of the country, and the north
and the south alike have united in
praising this bit of realism. Not of
the least importance in this play are
the scenic effects at which Mr. Carter
is known to be a master. Every
scene faithfully depicts situations and
places surrounding the famous Look
out Mountain and it is not an un
usual occurrence to see old soldiers
sitting in the audience and pointing
out to their comrades points familiar
to them and many times their exclam-
ations of surprise and delight are visi-
ble to the audience, the story wo
ven into the play is delightful and of
such heartfelt interest that it appeals
to people of all classes, and tears and
laughter often mingle as the artists
flit from comedy almost to tragedy.
A Brave Ooward.
The Chicago & North Western
Railway Company announces the pub
lication of a thrilling story ot cam
paigning in the Philippines entitled
"A Brave Coward." The famous
battle of Malate, the charge at La
Loma, a love romance, the career of
the Tenth Pennsylvania at Manila
and in Luzon, the conquering of
cowardice by a young Tennsylvanian,
all ate interwoven into one of the
most delightful short stories of the
hour yet issued. In common with
the First Nebraska, the Thirteenth
Minnesota, the Utah and Oregon
men and the Twentieth Kansas, the
Tenth Pennsylvania made history in
the war against Aguinaldo. The tale
is superbly illustrated with half-tones,
printed in convenient form, and will
be forwarded to any address on receipt
of 6 cents in postage by W. B. Knis

Prudence should prompt
ially at this season. If there's virtue in economy, then our ad
vertising columns plainly point the way by which that virtue can
oe put into immediate practice,
policy is opposed to carrying over
one season to another.
Only one way to make this
active price reductions. These reductions stand out on these of
ferings so that there is no mistaking them.

Offerings.
Money in the till is better
than jackets on the racks.
We'll get less money for them
than we're justly entitled to,
but that doesn't matter, so long
as you save the difference.
$1200 and $10 00 jackets re
duced to $7.49.
8 50 and $7 50 jackets re

$5 00 jackets reduced to $3 79.
A tew neavy suits that were

These suits will not be fitted at
these prices.
You will find big reductions
