John P. Blkin and His Opponents.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Xo Republican, oitliei leader or
voter, who understands the politi-
Ktl conditions in Pennsylvania
should consider l'or a single mo
ment the argument that if John I'.
Elkin is nominated for Governor
several Congressional districts will
be lost and the re-election of Sena
tor Penrose will be endangered.
For who are the persons who are
using such childish arguments?
They are principally composed of
Mr. Acheson a Congressman from
the southwestern end of the State,
and the editors of a few insurgent
newspapers. The newspapers in
question are wholly without in
fluence, and as to Mr. Acheson, he
lias been advocating the rule of the
minority so long without result
that his views are not valuable nor
even worth listening to.
Among the districts that are said
to be in danger by the opponents
of Mr. Elkin is that of Representa
tive Council. But you do not find
Mr. Council joining with Mr.
Acheson and the insurgent news
papers. On the other hand, he is
sturdily in favor of the nomination
of Mr. Elkin. Listen to what his
own newspaper, the Scranton Tri
bune, has to say:
Mr. Elkin has few, if any, superiors
among the younger men now in
American public life. The stone-throw
ing lie is now undergoing does hint
absolutely no harm, as is shown by the
ireturns from the various primaries,
Mid his nomination for Governor, now
generally recognized as likely to come
to pass, will be followed by a stirring
campaign, crowned with victory cer
tain and impressive.
••Certain and impressive'' would
bo the Republican victory under
hi- leadership undoubtedly, for
there is no candidate in the State
ivho can better appeal to the people
ihan Mr. Elkin himself. "Repub
licans who know Mr. Elkin only as
be is pictured in the insurgent
newspapers," continues the Tri
bune, "v. ill know more about him
before long, and we ventured to
say that the knowledge will dispel
any doubts which may now exist
in minds open to reason as to the
wisdom of his nomination."
There can be no serious ques
tioning of that statement. A man
who is of the people and fights bis
way by sheer force of will and of
self-gained education is always safe
in the hands of the people. The
popularity of John P. Elkin is a
oiattei of common knowledge.
Against a most formidable machine,
that of y. Watres, lie has swept
everything. In the country dis
tricts contests at the primaries are
always above board. Not even the
most bitter enemies of the Republi
can Party would dare to contend
that in tlie country, at least, there
is not a fair expression of opinion.
If there is so much opposition to
Mr. Elkin how happens it that,
with a rival candidate in the field
and lighting hard for delegates, it
is Mr. Elkin, who is capturing all
of the delegates, and by great
majorities ?
We make the declaration with
out the slightest reserve that no
more popular candidate could
be found in all Pennsylvania than
Elkin, and if under him the State
would not vote the Republican
ticket, then no man could save it.
But the idea of losing Penn
sylvania to the Democrats and of
handing the Legislature over to
the control of Colonel Guffey and
of beating Senator Penrose if Elkin
is nominated is simply preposter
ous.

PHOSPHORESCENT OCEAN.
Little Gelatinous (Iminilmun Wlilch
the Aiiiicnrnnce.
A milky opalescence, permeating the
entire sea for immense distances bound
ed only by the horizon, is a somewhat
rare phenomenon. It appears quite
suddenly, lasts perhaps for several
hours and passes away as rapidly as It
came, and this without apparent cause.
At midnight we had the singular white
ness enveloping the sea, while the more
prilliant kinds of phosphorescence
ehone in the midst of flashing green,
yellow or bluish lights, as the case
might be—a gorgeous nocturnal dis
play.
During these hours my surface trawl
net drifted astern of the ship. The wa
ter was alive with countless myriads of
little gelatinous sacs measuring one
sixth of an inch in length—delicate tu
nicate organisms which required the
aid of a microscope to reveal their per
fect structure. A few specimens placed
in an empty meat tin in a darkened
cabin could be seen indeed with the
naked eyes careening madly around
in the salt water, each one glowing
with that peculiar opalescent light
which saturated the entire sea for so
many miles. It was a small species of
salpa, nearly related to a much larger
kind on the side of which the late
Professor Moseley wrote bis name with
liis finger, the signature being visible
on the dead body throughout the night,
glowing with the brightest phosphores
cent light.—Cornliill Magazine.
S|X'llki»K' R.nailili.
Almost any one who speaks English
might be put down successively in half
a dozen places where English is sup
posed to be the mother tongue and
hear as many dialects spoken, not one
of which he would understand until it
was interpreted. An old Lancashire
worthy and a London lady were one
day occupants of a railway carriage.
The train had been waiting long at a
certain station, and there was no ap
pearance of it starting when the
worthy remarked:
"They're a gly, tanglesome lot here."
"I beg your pardon," said the lady.
"I'm say In' they're a gey dnidlin' lot
here."
"I really beg your pardon, sir."
"I'm observln' they are a vera dreich
lot here the nicht."
"Really I must again beg your par
don. I don't comprehend you."
"I was just tryin' to say that the
train was late."
"Indeed, sir. it is—very late," agreed
the lady and then collapsed.—London

Salphnr.
Sulphur occurs very widely distrib
uted in the mineral kingdom, partly
free and partly combined with other
elements. The free sulphur is cither
found pure in regularly formed crys
tals or intimately mixed with earthy
matters. In its native state sulphur
is largely found in Sicily and Italy and
as a general rule in abundance in vol
canic districts. The brlttleness of sul
phur renders the cleavage Imperfect.
Sulphuric acid is an important com
bination and a very dangerous one in
inexperienced hands. Sulphur combin
ed with a number of elements, such as
iron, copper, lead, etc., furnishes the
sulphides. In the vegetable kingdom
sulphur is a small constituent of the
albuminous bodies and of certain vol
atile irritant oils. Moreover, the vege
table juic's contain it in the form of
certain sulphates.
\i» Fn-st Indian Amulet.
In India a variety of gems and stones
are used as amulets. The most com
mon is the salagrama, a stone about as
large as a billiard ball and which is
perforated with black. This is sup
posed to be found only in Oandaki, a
river in Nepaul. The person who pos
sesses one of these stones is esteemed
highly fortunate. He preserves it in a
clean cloth, from whence it is some
times taken to lie bathed and perfum
ed. lie believes that the water in
which it is washed, if drunk, has the
power to preserve from sin. Holding
It In his hand, the dying Hindoo ex
pires in peace, trusting in a stone rath
er than in the living God.
A Tnntc of Hronnr.
An Englishman met a man at a
French table d'hote, who addressed
him in French. Ills accent betrayed
him, and, rather rudely, the Briton
said, "Ah, you are English."
"The devil a doubt of it, darlin'," re
plied the stranger.
"An Irishman, too, still better," went
on the other.
"Well, thin, isn't it strange," said the
man, "my French always shows me to
be English and my English to be
Irish?"
Tlif* Firwt Step.
The children were having a writing
lesson.
"Set me copy, too!" pleaded little
Ronnie.
"But you can't write, dear!" the gov
erness reminded him.
"Then set me some b'ots!" command

lie evidently considered blots a step
toward writing.—Home Chat.
Dinner AIIIOIIK the ItomniiM.
The Romans in the time of Cicero
and Augustus took an early breakfast,
from 3 to 4 in the morning, a luncheon
at 12 or 1 and at about .1 o'clock the
coena or principal meal of the day, cor
responding with our dinner. Concur
rently we read of some not dining until
sunset.
Crumped Mven.
According to the London Lancet, it
is quite exceptional to find in a child
bred in parochial charity institutions
that healthy individuality which is
characteristic of children who have
been boarded out in the freer and more
natural atmosphere of family life.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL io, 1902.
First Fork.
R. B. 15. Crura, was bidding his pa
trons pond bye on Saturday.
Isaac Bowen lias treated his house to
new windows and repairing and painting
up generally.
The First Fork stage is a thing of the
past, as the mail will be carried ou the
railroad, beginuing with to-day.
The saw mill here has been shut down
a day or two ou account of iMr. Yeager,
the manager, being called to Genessee by
the death of his mother.
Tt was P. 11. Farrell of Austin, instead
of I!. C., his brother, of Oostello, who
died a few days ago. He was in the
employ of the Goodyears.
A young man by the name of ltolling
er was taken to the Austin hospital on
Wednesday last, having been hurt by
logs rolling on him, caused by a chain
breaking on the log train, ft is reported
his back was not broken as firnt reported.
Quite a number of young men leave
this morning lor Idaho with the inten
tion of taking up timber or mining
claims. Among them are Ezra Logue
and Oliver Berficld, of First Fork; ('has.
David, Orrin Card and J. Leon Nelson,
of Packer. Another band expects to
leave later in the season.
The house of John Caldwell was de
stroyed by fire on Saturdry last, the fire
catching in the roof. The contents were
mostly all saved. We understand there
is no insurance. Mr. Caldwell and wife
were visiting their daughter Mrs. Nelson
at Sizerville, at the time of the fire,
Mrs. ltussell, another daughter keeping
house for them while away.

Letter to Dr. A. W. Baker.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: You know chemistry. Lead
and zinc is a better paint than lead
alone or zinc alone. Lead chalks off;
zinc peels off. Lead and zinc stay on,
if properly ground.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. It
is ground iine and thoroughly mixed.
A painter ought never to mix lead and
zinc; it wants grinding; mixing isn't
enough. A streak of lead and a streak
of zinc is not lead and zinc.
The object in grinding Devoe is to
grind the lead into the zinc and the
zinc into the lead, which a painter
can't do, with a stick in a tub.
And yet lead and oil will wear longer
with 20 or 30 per cent of zinc mixed in
with it, even as painters do it.
But Devoe has lead ground in with
zinc. The lead is fine enough; so is the
zinc. The grinding is to grind the two
into one And grinding costs little or
nothing done by machinery.
Yours truly,
09 F. W. DEVOE & Co.

effect was almost miraculous, and I am
now cured of the disease. On my recom

Honey and Tar, and always with satis
factian.'" L. Taggart.

There are &mny incidents in the life
of a photographer. A man came in the
other day and looked over nE the sam

"Do you want a sitting?" I asked.
"I don't see notliin* like what I
want," he replied.
I told him if he would indicate what
he wanted I mlglit arrange it.
"You see, it's like tbis," be began. "I
had a girl that I loved, and we was go
ing to git married. SIIO had her tilings
made up, and we was ail but ready,
when she was taken ill and died. And
what I wanted was ti picture of me sit
tin' on lier grave wcepln'."
I was touched at the homely story of
grief and told him 1 could send a man
with him to the grave and have the
picture taken as he desired.
"It's some distance," he said. "It's
over in Ireland. I expect it 'ud cost a
lot to send over your traps for what I
want?"
I said it would.
"I thought," he answered, "that
mebbe you could rig up a grave here in
your shop and 1 would weep 011 it and
it would do just as well. It's no trouble
for me to weep anyv. here."—Edinburgh
