WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Sept. Bth, 1902.
Editor Press:—
President Roosevelt, showing
little effect of his recent serious ac- j
ciilent apart from a bad bruise on ,
his right cheek, passed through
Washington 011 Friday on his way
south. To-day he is spending with
the locomotive firemen who are
gathered in annual convention at j
Chattanooga, Teun. To-morrow |
he will visit Knoxville. Wednesday 1
he will spend at Asheville, N. C.
and on Wednesday evening he will
pass through Washington on his
way to Oyster Hay where he will
remain a little over a week resting
and will then go west on his long
anticipated western trip. The en
thusiasm which greeted the Presi- j
dent in Washington and, in fact, j
all along the line, must have prov- j
ed most gratifying to him. The j
people in their desire to express i
their satisfaction that he had es- I
eaped with so little injury from his j
serious accident cheered him re- j
peatedly and vociferously. Mr. ]
Roosevelt declared that he was
none the worse for his mishap but
expressed profound regret at the
fate of '"poor Craig" to whom he
frequently referred. Apparently '
the sudden killing of his faithful |
attendant had saddened him.
The Democratic campaign book I
which was issue;! last week serves 1
as another evidence of the degen- [
eracy of the Democratic party from I
the high plane it once occupied in ]
the councils of the country to an j
aggregation of quarrelsome maleon- j
tents who care nothing fur the good j
of party or the welfare of country j
but are each tenacious of his own |
views irrespective of the effect on 1
the whole. 'he prominence given j
to Senator ( urmack's Philippine J
views furnishes an excellent ex- :
ample. Although the older and '
more respected members of the :
party are silent on this subject, a j
large amount of space is devoted to !
the erratic views of the Tennessee
senator -ml those who follow his '
lead. IS Tell of legitimate grounds
on .vliieh to base an argument, re
course has been had to the reports
of 1 lie members of the War Depart
ment's board of surgeons and pro
fessional statements which are to
tally unfit for reproduction in a
pamphlet intended for general cir
culation are published and dilated
upon and a series of entirely un
warranted deductions are made
therefrom. The publication of such
matter is ample evidence of the
absolute lack of sound reasons for
appealing to the people for Demo
cratic votes.
The recently issued report of the
auditor for the Interior Depart
ment gives ground for the statement
that tlie pension rolls are decreas
ing, and that the country has seen
the apex for the appropriations for
that purpose. While 110 true lie
publican has ever begrudged the
payment of the debt due to the
brave men who came to support
the Union in '6O '(>~>, as with all
other debts, it is pleasant (osee the
end in sight, and Republican lead
ers are gratified to learn that after
a policy of the utmost liberality to
disabled soldiers and those depen
dent on them the demands on the
treasury are tending toward a de
crease. Certain Democratic op
ponents have seen lit to comment
adversely upon the fact that the
pension rolls included nearly a
million names, but a more careful
examination reveals the fact that
notwithstanding the adjudication
of between '200,000 and."00,000
new claims, there has been practi
cally 110 increase in the list during
the past year. Moreover, during
the fe-cal year of lHli'2-.'l the total dis
bursements for pension- amounted
to f*IOO.ISO.>7, whereas « 1 . 1 ;• i 1»■ •
MM: last li- "il year, th • amount
actually expended f<>r pen ion
amounted to but sL'i'i", loo,7l I
nearly A.;o,000,000, less. Ihe
burden has been a heavy one, but
the people have borne it cheerfully
and inerea-ed prosperity has at
'••nded their generosity.
Emporium Talent Entertains
Austinites.
A number of the best musical talent
of Emporium came over to Austin Fri
day evening and entertained a repre
sentative class of people at Lynch 1 8
new opera house. The entertainment
was in the form of a musicale and con
sisted of selections from some of the
best comic operas, besides vocal and
instrumental solos and male quartettes.
The intention of the ladies and gentle
men was to raise funds for the benefit
of the public library of Emporium.
The entertainment was high grade in
every respect. Their effoits showed
that many days had been spent in re
hearsals and they came to Austin well
prepared to please our people, and
succeeded well. It was an exception
ally fine entertainment, even though
some of the "kids" in the gallery, did
not appreciate the class of entertain
ment. '1 he work of the pianist, Miss
Anna Metzger and of the male quartet,
Messrs. Metzger, Logan, Walker and
Robertson was fine. The selections
from operas by the double sextette was
excellent. The cake walk by Mr.
Burlingame of Olean and Miss Lyons
of Emporium was nicely portrayed
and received hearty applause —Austin
Republican, Sept. 4th.
"Only Local Issues."
With the Democratic party of the
Nation advocating a general smashing
of the tariff;
With tbo Democratic party seeking
to eleel a Congress that will be in ac
cord with it;
With Democrats stumping the vari
ous States with the avowed porpose of
laying plans for tho Presidential cam
paign—
Under such circumstances, isn't it a
little bit silly for these same Democrats
to declare that here in Pennsylvania
there are "local issues only"—the
actions of a defunct Legislature, for in
stance?--Phila. Inquirer.
The First (iuns.
The elections in Maine and Vermont
on Monday resulted in favor of the Re
publicans. In Vermont there were
several candidates for Governor and
neither one of them had a majority of
the votes. The Legislature, which elects
the Governor, in overwhelmingly Re
publican. The prohibition question
entered the contest.
In Maine tho same trouble, as usual,
made its appearance, but the Republi
cans elected the Governor by 3G,000
majority and elected a solid R?publi- \
can delegation to Congreus.

Death of James Gorman.
Jat>.Gorman,who was formerly aresi
dent of this county, died at Johnson
burg last Wednesday, aged 79 years,
from injuries inflicted by Mrs. Lizzie
Schell. The Johnsouburg Press, says:
"Jas. Gorman, one of the well known
aged residents of this place, died [on
Wednesday about one o'clock at the
home of his son on south Center St.
a few hours following an assault made
upon him by Mrs. Lizzie Schell. The
facts surrounding his death as near .is
they can be learned, and as the later
developments at the coroner's jury
showed, are about as follows:
Mr. Gorman, who is nearly eighty
years of age and is quite feeble, came
home Tuesday afternoon about five
o'clock from a walk around town, and
found his young grand-son, a boy six
years of age, being abused by an older
son of Mrs. Schell who resides in part
of the same building with the Gorman
family. He separated the youths and
it is alleged slapped the Schell boy,
whereupon the child's mother came
to the rescue and in quite a forcible
manner laid violent hands upon the
old man, in consequence of which he
was either thrown down or tripped
himself. It is claimed Mrs. Schell
hit him with a stone, but this was not
proven at the inquest, while the
autopsy failed to lay the blame for
causing his death directly to the action
of Mrs. Schell. The bruise on Mr. Gor
man's left ear could have been caused
by his fall when he was forcibly taken
hold of, and there was no evidence
brought out at the inquest that would
goto show conclusively that the stone
thrown by Mrs. Schell actually struck
Mr. Gorman."
His remains were taken to First Fork
last Friday, for interment. The Coro
ner's inquest rendered a verdict that
ho "died from heart failure, superin
duced by an assult made, by Mrs.
Schell."

what and where you are and what you
have tlint this great world wants is the
secret of success, and the printing press
is its mightiest machine to that end

Upon the trust qnestion President
Roosevelt is in liuo with enlighted
public opinion everywhere iu the stand
he is taking. lie is consulting ihe in
terests of the country, and the Republi
can party cannot do otherwise than
follow his lead while he leads so wisely
and so well as ho is now doing.
The Bedford Inquirer says there is a
big difference beswaen a true reformer
and a mere fault finder. The true re
former in the Republican ranks having
secured the nomination of a clean, up
right and able candidate for Governor,
are not hanging around Democratic
headquarters trying to cook up fusion
tickets. Having obtained what they
ask for they are getting kown to steady
work for Pennypacker and victory.
Some of our Democratic contempo
raries are claiming that S. R. Dresser
has said that he would spend §50,000 to
get elected to Congress from this dis
trict. During a conversation with Mr.
Dresser last week we asked him to af
firm or deny this claim, and he denied
it in most emphatic terms. And he also
stated that he only intends using what
money is necessary to pay the expenses
for a clean, honest campaign. It would
be well for the Democrats to stick to
the truth for a short time, at least.—

Pawnee Bill's Wild West.
The combined shows of Pawnee Bill,
which exhibited hero yesterday, is
flr3t-class in every respect; as a lifelike
portrayal of savage modes, it has no
equal, requiring 100 genuine Indians,
brave cow boys, noted scouts, trappers
and Pawnee Bill's humanely educated
mustangs. The performances of the
trained animals were excellent, and
equal to any ever exhibited in this city.
May Lillie's shooting is wonderful, and
the riding and driving of 35 wild mus
tangs aro all grand features. The wild
buffaloes and long horned Texas steers,
the grand Mexican Hippodrome races,
by senors and senorits, are most
wonderful and exciting. Taking it all
in all it isone of the best shows that
ever visited our city.—Charlestown, S.
C., Sun.
Major Gordon W. Lillie, Pawnee Bill,
has doubled the size of his splendid ex
hibition this year and added many new
and startling features. Besides the
thousand men and horses employed, he
is introducing a new idea for tho little
people. It is a miniature Wild West
with liliputian stage coaches, prairie
schooners and harnessed to them Shet
land ponies and burros ridden and
driven by sturdy Indians, Arabs, Coss
acks and Western boys. Will exhibit
at Emporium, Wednesday, Sept. 17,
1902.
