UARRISBURG LETTER.
Quay Gone to the Pine Woods Penrose Re
mains to Commune Unto Himself and
Watch the Growing List of Candidates
for U. S. Seuate.
Quay has gone to the pine woods
in me wnasoi Maine, and nearly all
his prominent lieutenants are tak
ing a rest after their arduous labors
of working the dear people and one
another. Penrose is about the only
one who remains at his post and he
is hanging cn the ragged edge of
the political precipice by his eye
brows. He is afraid to allow his
Senatorial boom to get out of his
sight, and the next few months are
likely to be among the most inter
esting as well as the most disap
pointing of his life. He is spend
ing a good deal of time trying to
reach a conclusion as to whether
Quay will stand by him in his hour
ot need or whether he will desert
him at the eleventh hour as he did
Elkiu, and declare that the safrtv
ot the gang demands his withdrawal
irom, me senatorial race. In fact
he is not certain that his seat has
not alieady been hypothecated.
quay's word doubtful.
In speaking of Pennypacker's
sickening eulogy declaring that
Quay keeps his every word an ex
member of Congress, a Republican
from Western Pennsylvania said a
few days ago, " There may have
been a time when Quay was true to
his frieuds and tried to make his
word good but for several years,
since I have been more or less fami
liar with him and his methods, he
has never hesitated to pledge any
thing in sight to help himself out
of a tight place regardless of his
ability to fulfill his promises. In
many cases within recent years he
has openly betrayed some of his
most faithful followers, and it is
for this more than anything else
that revolt among his lieutenants
became so strong this year a re
volt that would have ended his
leadership but for Durham who
turned traitor to those who had de
termined to end the Old Man's
-leadership."
With this record of Quay's dis
honored pledges before him Pen
rose is already beginning
to be haunted with a suspicion
that he will get the harpoon
under the short ribs just as Elkin
did, as soon as Quay finds that
another scape-goat is needed upon
which he may load the political
sins of his own devising. He has
succeeded in a measure in drawing
the wool over the public eye so as
to make it appear that Stone and
Elkin are the bad men who con
cocted all the corrupt schemes of
the last Legislature and that he,
the dear good old soul that he is
known to be, did his level best to
make the boys behave, but failed.
Now, if the people keep their senses
and rebuke the machine this fall,
Quay will try to make it appear
j.hat Penrose is the remaining Jonah,
fchat his unpopularity caused the de
v'eat and that it is time to dump him
fjverboard to save the political ship.
iQuay has always shown himself
willing to make great sacrifices.
Like Artemas Ward, who was will
ing to sacrifice all his wife's rela-
Itions, Quay would not hesitate to
.sacrifice his whole political crew to
1' save his own bacon.

announce later the prospect for the

and he no doubt regrets that he
was a party to the deal that caused
is uurnam to prove traitor to
those who were in revolt against
tne uid Man.
Before Quay left for the woods he
nau 11 announced mat tie had post
ed $20,000 in a Pittsburg bank to
oei on rennypacker s election. In
stead of this being considered a
good campaign card, sensible men
consiaer it a sure indication that
Quay is apprehensive of the result
this fall. It is like whistling to

inaugurated in New York courts.
The land involved in the Webber

claims are contingent, comnrises less
than 100 acres in Harlem and the
Trinity Church property in New York

One Way of Courting.
When a Fiii Islander wants to tr.t
a wife he secrets himself in the under
brush and rushes out and stuns with
a club the maiden of his choice as
she passes. If she survives the blow
she becomes his wife. If it kills her
the warrior goes back lo the brush
and waits for another to come aloner.
It is easy for a Fiji Islander to trans-
ier nis attections.

The Largest Poultry farm ia America-
The Meadow Brook Poultry farm,
at Dallas, near Wilkes Barre, the
largest in America, has been formerl
into a stock company, and money
raised ior extensive additions and im
provement. The demand for chickens,
turkeys, ducks and geese for the mar
ket, and fancy eegs for hatching, has
grown so in the past several years
that the capacity of the farm has been
taxed and it is found necessary to
keep up with the market.
The plant is complete in every de
tail, and occupies 6ome thirty-five
acres of carelully laid out ground in
numerous divisions and pens. The
floor area of the buildings now in use
is 112,000 square feet. The incuba
tor room alone has a capacity of 20,
000 eggs in incubation at once.
The chief market is in New York
city and Philadelphia, the summer
hotels and the large restrurants, and
shipments are made dai!,.
The company will proceed with the
work of enlarging the plant du.Iwg the
