WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regul%r Correspondent.)
Washington, June 1, liKKI.
Editor press:—
It is doubtful if a greater com
pliment was ever paid to a Presi
dent than that implied by the gen
erous endorsement of President
Roosevelt's candidacy to succeed
himself. Fifteen states represent
ed by I "iu votes in the national con
vention, have already endorsed, in
state convention, the candidacy of
Mr. Roosevelt and the act-ion of the
Ohio convention, which is assured
will add Ki votes to the total
number. There will be s)s."> votes
in the national convention so that
493 will be required to nominate.
The states which have already de
clared for Mr. Roosevelt are Ala
bama, Arkansas, Connecticut, !
lowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, -Mis
souri, Minnesota, New York.
Rhode Island. Texas, Utah, Wash
ington, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.
Ohio will add its endorsement this
week the following have pledged
their support through their state
chairman; California, Michigan, I
Maine, Tennessee, Kentucky, Colo
rado, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Idaho,
Oregon, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Maryland, West Virginia, Ne
braska and Montana. These will
add 280 votes to the above number
making a grand total of 730 votes,
or 237 more than enough to nomi
nate, pledged to President Roose
velt more than a year in advance
of the nominating convention.
The clearing of the political situa
tion, the asquiesauce of Senator
Hanna to the inevitable, following
the President's bold and character
istic announcement that he who is
not with me is against me, have all
combined to constitute an incident
I which is the occasion of the great
est satisfaction to the President's
friends as it has demonstrated his
wide spread popularity beyond all
questoin. The reluctance of
shrewd democratic politicans to
permit the use of their names as
presidential possibilities is also re
garded as a most encouraging sign,
as it clearly indicates that the next
democratic candidate will, in their
j opinion, be but a vicarious sacrifice
on the altar of democratic har
limny*
Representative John A. T. Hull,
of the Seventh lowa district, has
just arrived in Washington and he
assures your correspondent that
there is not a trace of factionalism
left in the Republican ranks in
lowa. Senator Yllison, "thegreat
j pacification,' - lias drafted the tariff
plank which will be submitted to
the convention and has shown it to
representatives of every shade of
tariff opinion in the suite and it
meets with t lie approval of all.
The clause which refers to"the
shelter of monopoly" had been
eliminated but that which pro
claims the propiety of revising the
schedules from time to time, as
changing conditions warrant, i* re
tained. Mr. Hull is on his way to
West Point as he is a member of
the Congressional Committee
selected to visit the Military Acade
my.
(ireat interest attaches to a
rumor tliat Senator <>uav is about
to retire from active polities. The
rumor was received with little cre
dence until it hecttine known that
Mr. Quay had absented himself
from the state convention and had
- permitted Senator Penrose to be
| elected state chairman. The con
vention enthusiastically endorsed
President Roosevelt and the policy
of protection.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JUNK 4,1903.
1 DEATH AND
DESTRUCTION
i
! Town of Gainesville Wrecked- hun
dreds Killed.
GAINESVILLE, GA., June 2.—The
i town of 4,500 population was partially
destroyed yesterday afternoon by a
| tornado, which in two minutes time,
killed 150 people, injured nearily 200
and wrecked over 100 houses and part
ily wrecked two large cotton mills.
Probably two-thirds of the dead are
| womon and children, who were opcra-
I tives in the cotton mills. The death
list includes only about six negroes.
The storm came from the south out,
j of almost a clear sky, swooping down
1 on the Gainesville cotton mills near
j the Southern railroad station at 12:45
| p. m.
With a terrible crash the two upper
stories of the cotton mill were swept
away, leaving 100 operatives dead.
The cyclone then swept around the
out shirts of the city, to the suburb of
New Holland, two miles away, where
are located the Pacolet cotton mills,
one of the largest institutions of this
character in the south. The plant of
the Pacolet company was not seriously
damaged, but probably 100 cottages
standing nearby occupied by opera
tives who are employed in the mills,
were completey demolished, killing 50
people. They are mostly women and
children, as the heads of families were
nearly all in the factory at work. The
store of Joseph Logan near the Gaines
ville cotton mills, was crushed to ruins
by the wind and eight men who had
taken refuge in it were instantly killed.
Reports from White Sulphur, seven
mills from Gainesville, are to the effect
that the storm struck there with ter
rific force, killing a dozen people.
This however, is not absolutely con
firmed.
He Won his Laurels.
| Last Sunday morning "Sammy"
started out for the hills iu quest of
some of the raro and beautiful laurel
flowers, which he had promised to send
to some of his western friends.
He crossed Broad street bridge and
began the ascent of the hill and was
soon lost in the deep thought of the
thanks his friends would bestow upon
him for his kindness. In this state of
mind he wandered over the hill and
down a ravine on the other side, before
he once thought of looking for the flow
ers.
He finally found a clump of them
! and at once proceeded to gather the
whole crop and collected them into
one huge pile and then sat down on an
old log to mop the honest sweat from
his brow and view with satisfaction
the fruits of his labor. He coul.l hear
j the tolling church bells sounding faint
' ly o'er the hill, and the birds sang
j gaily around him but he heeded them
| not. His view of the land-scape had
| changed to a vision of his boyhood
! days, when he was a farmer lad and
! hunted the cows in the woodland,
i He remembered how he was wont to
j go barefooted and stooping down he
j removed his shoes, and this made the
! scene complete. Suddenly he remem
bered that some delicious strawberries
were promised him for dinner and he
arose and gathered in his arms all the
flowers he could carry. His home
| ward journey was uneventful, except
when he struck one of his toes on a
stone and he was seen coming down
the road with a shoe in each coat
pocket and his head poised high in the
air, iu order that he might sec over his
load of flowers. Being the first lau
rels he ever won, he naturally feels
very proud of them, and will go often
if the weather permits.

Burglarly.
Some time after mid-night last Sun
day, burglars entered A. A. Mac Do
nald's liquor store and "cracked" the
safe, using dynamite with which to
blow off the door. About $25 in
money together with several checks,
in all amounting to about SIOO, were
taken. Part of the checks are useless
and payment has been stopped on the
balance. The cracksmen were evi
dently professionals and made a com
plete job of their work.
Mr. Baxter, night clerk at the War
j ner House, heard the report about
] three o'clock, but could not locate the
place or see anything to indicate
i "what was doing.'
The John Robinson Shows.
, The acme of soanic spandor was
reached when John Robinson produced
the great spectacle of Solomon. His
temple and the Queen of Sheba.
No court wa3 greater in all that per
i tained to magnificence than Solomon's,
j and as historically reproduced with
dozens of calcium and vari-colored
! lights on the brilliant costumes and
scintillating armor, it has received un
i stinted praise from all who have been
fortunate enough to witness the grand
spectacle.
The circus has been characterized as
the most interesting in its unexception
al features and in the general excell
ence of its ring performances. The
menagerie is large and comprehensive
and includes living specimens of the
rarest beasts, birds, reptiles and am*
phibi.
The colossal Roman Hippodrome is
in itself a feature that has no duplica
tion and carries the spectator back to
imperial Cawar's day.
The show will exhibit at Emporium,
June 16th.

Smallpox Case.
Yesterday morning th? Borough
authorities were notified that a sick j
man, a stranger, was lying near the ■
iron bridge west of the borough line, !
evidently a case of smallpox Drs. \
Heilman, Bard well and Smith were
called, who agreed it was a genuine
case. Dr. Bard well, representing the
State Board of Health, advised that
he be removed to the hill south of
town and a nurse be secured Burgess
Howard, H. C. Olmsted, Henry Auetau
andChas. Felt proeurrd a tent and
caused the sick man to be removed.
He is a stranger here and claims he
came hero looking for work.
There is no danger of the
disease spreading if our citizens keep
on this side of the stream. Boys should
be cautioned by their parents.
George Nickerson, of Shippen, was
engaged to nurse the poor unfortunate
and took charge last evening Ho has
had experience,having passed through
the ordeal himself.
Since the above was placed in type
we learn that the man's name is Lewis
McGowen and that he came from Pine
Grove, Elk county, where he was quar
antined in a lumber camp. He origi
nally resided in Cattaraugus county,
N. Y., where a sister now lives.
Work of the Mothers' Meeting.
The members of the Mothers' Club
take pleasure in announcing that their
efforts to assist the High School Libra
ry, by placing therein a new encyclo
pedia have been finally accomplished.
A set of the Britanica in thirty-one
volumes, bound in half-morocco and
costing $65 was purchased recently and
putin place and will be ready for use
when school re-opens. This work was
begun by the mothers at the beginning
of their meetings in November, as
they desired to help the schools in a
material way, and this particular ob
ject seemed to present the most urgent
appeal. The money was raised partly
by contributions from the pupils,
which amounted to nearly |25. The
remainder was raised among the
mothers themselves.
Next year the organization will be
completed at an earlier date, it is hop
ed. and the members expect to accom
plish equally good results.
BLANCHE HYDE MOORE, Sec'y.

The smallpox patient who escaped
from the Emporium pest house and it
is supposed burned the house went to
Bolivar, N. Y., where he was placed in
a pest house. He cut up the same
caper, there burned the house.
A storm which prevailed in Spring
field, 111., the other day blew down the
famous elm planted by President Lin
coln the day after his first election to
the presidency. It stood in front of
the old Lincoln homestead and a part
of the roof of the old house was caved
in by the fall of the tree. Every time
President Lincoln came to Springfield
he went to the old home and surveyed
the growth of his elm.
Little Majorie, the six-year olddaugh
ter of United States Marshall Leonard,
was severely injured last evening by
being run down by a delivery wagon,
in charge of a young man. She was
crossing the street in the vicinity of her
home, Second above Herr, and the
wagon turned a corner quickly and
knocked her down, the wheels passed
over her right arm and side and her
left hand, making painful injuries but
not serious. She is confined to her
bed.—Harrisburg Telegraph.
Four men are either dead or dying
in atown near Memphis on account of
newspaper abuse that was taken ser
iously. The editors and citizens con
cerned would both be in business yet
had they been wiser. The irresponsi -
ble editors who delight in a abuse
should be treated as are the screaming
monkies in tropical forests,to whom no
one pays any attention. To be ignored
iss the worst punishment that can be
inflicted upon the monkey class of edi
tors,and that method is more effective
and satisfactory than the use of lire
arms or courts.—Ex.
Philadelphia Press; Chairman Hall,
| of the Democratic State Committee, is

I Dewalt was doing this Senator Hall,
j the Democratic chairman, was sitting
! in hi 9 chair doing nothing—not even
I recording his vote against the muzzle.
To continue Senator Hall at the head of
i the Democratic organization, and make
| a campaign against the muzzle would
be a boisterous joke.
1 An expert on bugs estimates mat

J $90,000,000 and the bugs that devour

is evident that our humble neighbors,
are very expensive boarders and if we>
did not help a good many of them out
of this world of trouble we should have
; to go ourselves very shortly. A little
more Paris green might be profitable
as an investment for our farmers.
