The next Congress should take im
mediate action on the reciprocity
treaties, refusing to be longer bound by
the selfish wishes of a few one-horse
states, entrenched with equal powers

interest, if for no other reason.

Since the mosquito theory of malaria
was generally accepted, large areas in

to less than one-fourth to what it was.

moved if the money that should do it

(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, May 7. —From the num
ber of inquiries being received by the
•jffleers of the State League of Repub
lican Clubs there is going to be a great
gathering in this city on the occasion
Df the reception and dinner to United
States Senator Matthew Stanley Quay
an the 14th inst. The chances are that
they will have to stop receiving sub
scriptions to the dinner earlier than
was anticipated, as the capacity of
Horticultural Hall will be too small
to accommodate all those who wish to
ittend.
The reception, which will be given
an the same evening in the Academy of
Music, will be one of the most bril
liant and Interesting functions ever
held in this state. Arrangements have
been made for the distribution of the
private boxes, so that the wives and
Dther female relatives and friends of
the party leaders can have a chance to
witness the spectacle and listen to the
sloquence of those who have been In
vited to address the immense throng
which is sure to be there.
Besides Senators Quay and Penrose,
among those who will make addresses
ire Governor Stone, President Moore,
Df the State League of Republican
Clubs, and other well known Republl
:ans. These speeches will be made in
the Academy of Music.
While the dinner is being served In
the adjoining hall there will be a mu
sical entertainment given in the Acad
smy, for which a very attractive pro
gram has been arranged.
Information regarding cards of ad
mission to the reception can be had by
iddressing J. Hampton Moore, care of
City Hall, Philadelphia, and about sub
scriptions to the dinner from J. Martin
Rommel, Betz Building, Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA NOT ENVIOUS.
It Is becoming evident that upon so
ber second thought many Philadel
phians believe a mistake would be
nade If the bill were passed for the
removal of the state capital from Har
rlsburg to Philadelphia.
"There is no particular reason why
there should be a change from Harris
aurg to Philadelphia," says the Phila
delphia Inquirer. "In these days of
rapid railroad trains Philadelphia is
is easily reached from all parts of the
state as is Harrlsburg, and this city
would welcome the legislature, should
it come here and erect a fine building.
But Harrisburg has been the capital
for many years, the interest of its cit
izens are largely involved in that fact,
ind to change the site would be a great
hardship resulting in considerable pe
junlary losses to them. It is mucu
better to let the capital remain where
it is.
"But one thing is certain. Pennsyl
vanians do not care to put up with a
barn for a capltol building. They have
;ot pride enough to demand that their
itate shall hold up its head with the
oest of them. A start has been made
upon the new building. It is true that
it is as yet a mere shell, but this shell
Is composed of iron and Are brick, and
in Indestructible. What is needed is to
?ive the rough brick exterior a face of
jranlte or of marble, to add on wings,
;ear out all the temporary stairways
md flimsy committee room furnishings,
md to turn out a completed fire proof
structure.
"The plans for the building are
known to all those who have taken the
trouble to look into Smull's Handbook.
The picture of the building as it will
look when completed is familiar, and
there has been no attempt that has
imounted to anything to call the arch
itectural plans into question. For
f5,000,000 a noble structure of which
the entire state can be proud can be
provided, and this sum the senate has
igreed to.
"As a matter of fact, there is no par
ticular opposition to the expenditure
Df this amount, but a lot of insurgents
who feel that it is incumbent upon
them to raise a racket fibout every
:hing oppose the bill because under it
the governor is to name the commis
sioners who are to superintend the
building operations.
THE STATE MISREPRESENTED.
Every patriotic Pennsylvanian must
ieplore the latest contemptible tactics
Df the insurgent newspapers In seek
ing to create the impression that the
interests of Pennsylvania are being
neglected at the Buffalo exposition.
The facts are that a commission of
some of the most representative men
Df the state has been appointed, an
appropriation of $35,000 has been made
ind there is already under way and
| aearing completion a magnificent state
! Duiidlng located in one of the most at
' :ractlve sections of the exposition
i grounds. The building will be the
1 aeadquartera of Pennsylvanians who
! visit the exposition, and they will have
j jvery reason to be proud of their state
\ n the character of the building, Its ap
j and the general display
[ that will be made.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1901.
Letter to Thos. Gallagher.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: Paint is one of the things
that Railroad Companies know all
about Do you know what "all about"
means? It means, in paint, where to
get it.
We sell the paint for two-thirds of
the cars and stations and bridges ind
everything else, that railroad men want
to keep good-looking and sound, all
over the country.
A man who wants a gallon or two of
paint knows nothing about it; buys
whatever is handy, or gets some paint
er to "make" it.
A Railroad Company asks its chem
ist: "which is the best?"
The cheapest thing, to preserve or
beautify anything with, is paint. So
the whole world in painted; except, of
course, the part of it owned by poor
slow folks.
And the paint thev use is people's
intelligence-meter; or ignorance-meter;
tells how much or how little they
know.
Lead and oil has had its day. Devoe
lead and zinc is the paint, because it
wears twice as long.
Yours truly,
33 F. W. DEVOE & Co.

The most miserable beings iu the
