Plans to Leave Country To-day
Either for Washington or
Seashore.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 3.—Riding 20
miles a day on horseback through the
Chester hills, breathing the pure atmo
sphere of the country and eating and
Bleeping as he has not done since he
was a boy, United States Senator Boies
Penrose, whose condition during his
recent ill new. was watched with inter
est all over the country, has been re
cuperating at the home of his brother,
Dr. Charles B. Penrose, at Devon, for
the past two weeks. It is likely that
to-morrow he will leave there and
will go either to Atlantic City or to
Washington.
Senator Penrose would not return to
Washington this session were it not for
the fact that the committee on post
roads, and post offices of which he is
chairman, needs his advice on the dis
tribution of the appropriations for the
year.
When seen yesterday, Senator Pen
rose was deep in an easy chair, flanked
by newspapers, books and magazines.
He arose with a firm step and the
healthy color of the country flamed in
his cheeks.
"Senator, you are looking extreme
ly well, but how do you feel?"
"I feel like I never did before in my
life," was the deep toned response. I
am not as heavy as before, weighing
only 230 pounds now instead of 250 as
before. While I am a little under
weight I do not care if I never get the
weight buck. I just feel fine."
"Do you feel any the worse for your
illness?" was asked.
"Not a bit," was the ready response.
"I do not know that I ever was sick.
When I was at home in Spruce street,
I was sick and then became delirious.
One day I woke up with a clear mind
and the physiciaus told me to lie still
as 1 had been a very sick But I
began to recover so quickly that I could
hardly believe it. I have really been
well for throe weeks and will likely
leave here on Monday."
Senasor Penrose says he goes to bed
promptly at 9 o'clock at night and gets
up at 7 each morning. He takes long
horseback rides and remains in the
fresh air as long as possible.

Waists.
Friday wo begin a sale of beaut iful
Silk and Lawn Waists, at much less

offer for the lot consisting of about 200
waists and got them at our price. Our
customers will (jet the benefit of the 1

eleven hens eggs. Last Saturday she
hatched out eight nice chicken!;, which
Mr. O'Leary has placed on exhibition
at his home, and will be pleased to
show any who may doubt the varacity
of bis statement. The only cause as

Is the Church Opposed to the
Workingman?
This theme will be discussed next
Sunday evening, at 7,30, in the Presby
terian Church, at the Special Labor
Sunday Service.
The American Federation of Labor
having, at its last convention, recom
mended that May tenth be recognized
as "Labor Sunday," the Presbyterian
Church in the U. S., through its unique
Department of Church and Labor, has
requested all its churches throughout
the country to observe the day by spec
ial and appropriate services.
The Presbyterian Church of this
place believing that, as Memorial Day,
Independence Day, and the several
"Birthdays" show our appreciation of
those who rendered patriotic service,
so "Labor Sunday" should be observed
in honor of the millions of toilers who
daily serve mankind in the humbler
places of life, has arranged for, and
cordially invites you to this special ser
vice in honor of the men and women
who work.
"This is the Gospel of Labor,
King it ye bells of the Kirk!
The Lord of Love came down from above
To live with the men who work.
This is the rose He planted,
Here in the thorn-cursed soil;
Heaven is blessed with perfect rest,
Hut the blessing of earth is toil."

Pennsylvania's Candidate.
WASHINGTON, MAY 2, —(Special)—
The Pennsylvania Republican conven
tion held at Harrisburg on April 29,
gave an enthusiastic and unanimous
endorsement of the presidential candi
dacy of P. C. Knox and instructed the
delegates-at-large to vote for him until
he is nominated Not only was the
nomination of Senator Knox urged on
the ground of his eminent qualifica
tions, but also upon the ground that
Pennsylvania, because of her loyalty
to the Republican party and her great
record, is entitled to furnish the candi
date.
A glance at the statistics of the last
presidential election shows the con
sistency of the latter claim. In 1904
Pennsylvania gave Roosevelt a plural
ity of 505,519, which is the largest plur
ality any state ever gave a candidate
for any office. This plurality alone far
exceeded the total Republican vote
cast in the eleven states that make up
the south." Those eleven states
have 210 votes in the national conven
tion while Pennsylvania has but (58.
In the 1904 election Pennsylvania
furnished 20 per cent, of the total plur
ality of Roosevelt over Parker and 10
per cent, of the entire Republican vote
cast at that election. The plurality
given Roosevelt by Pennsylvania was
75,000 greater than the combined plur
alties given by New York and Ohio.
These facts show the consistency of
the claim of the Keystone State that
it is entitled to name the next presi
dential candidate. Representative
James F. Burke, of Pittsburgh, who
has charge of the candidacy of Senator
Knox, says he feels confident that the
Republicans of the country will rec
ognize the justice of this argument as
they will recognize what Knox has
done for the Roosevelt administration
and the country, with the result that
the Pennsylvania candidate will be
named at Chicage.
Prof. Ling Elected
Superintendent of the
Lock Haven Schools.
Were Several Applicants for the
Position But Upon the With-
Drawal of the Name of T.
W. Morrison, Mr. Ling
Was the Unanimous
Choice of Board.
[Wednesday's Lock Haven Express.]
A convention of the Lock Haven
board of education was held Tuesday
evening, at which time every member
was present. The purpose of the ses
sion was to elect a city superintendent
ot public schools and it was apparent
as the proceedings progressed that en
tire harmony was uppermost in the
minds of the board in the selection of a
capable instructor who will be at the
head of the local school district for the
succeeding three years.
The matter of fixing the salary of
Supt. was brought before the board by
Mr. Shaffer, and he accordingly made
a motion that SI2OO per year be the
sum for this office. When a ballot was
taken all voted in favor of this amount
excepting Mr. Zimmerman.
Mr. Cree nominated r-rof. E. S. Ling
the present principal of the high school
and Secretary Zimmerman placed in
nomination the name ofT. M Morri
son, the present incumbent. Dr. Ead
ie stated that Mr. Morrison desired
that his name be not mentioned as a
candidate as he did not seek re elec
tion.
A vote was taken and the result was
that Prof. Ling received the support
of every member of the board and was
elected to serve in this position, he to
assume his duties on the first Monday
in June.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
IFrom our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, Mav 2, 1908.
A bill curtailing the power of tho
Federal courts in issuing injunctions
was introduced in Congress thin week
by Representative Sereuo E. Payne, of
New York, Republican floor leader
of the House, and the presumption is
that measure reflects the sentiment of
the Republican leaders of the House.
There is little doubt that Mr. Payne in
troduced it at the urgent request of a
number of Republicans who have been
made uneasy by the manacing attitude
assumed by representatives of organiz
ed labor. While the bill falls short of
the kind which organized labor has
been demanding for some time, it is
along the line of the recommendation
made repeatedly by the President in
his special messages to Congress. Mr.
Payne's bill provides "that hereafter
no preliminary injunction or restrain
ing order shall be granted by any judge
or court without notice to the party
sought to be enjoined or restrained,
unless it shall appeir to the satisfaction
of the court or judge to whom appli
cation is made that its immediate issue
is necessary to prevent irreparable
■ damage; and that the order shall con-
I tain the rule on the opposing party to
I show cause within five days why tho
| order should not be issued."
There are some indications that
Speaker Cannon's power in the House
is somewhat on the wane and that lie
is no longer to be permitted to carry
things with that high handedness
which has characterized his rule up to
the present time. A prominent Repub
lican leader declared that a movement
is on foot, backed by between thirty
and forty Republicans, to refuse con
sent to the passage of any financial
bill at this session until they have been
given a pledge that something will be
done toward putting wood pulp on the
free list.
If the action taken by the Senate
Committee on Commerce this week is
any indication of the sentiment pre
vailing in the Senate, little considera«
tion will be given to the recommenda
tion of the President that permits to
dam and otherwise interfere with the
waters of navigable streams should bo
charged for by the Federal govern
ment and made a source of revenue.
The proposition to amend the bill, in
line with the President's recommenda
tions, was defeated in committee by a
vote of 5 to 3, and, while there was
barely a majority of the committee in
attendance and the vote is not a iinal
ity, the impression prevails that it rep
resents the view of the majority. Sen
ator Nelson submitted an elaborate
brief in which he took the ground that
such a provision as desired by the
President would deprive the States and
riparian land owners of all rights to
the use of water now guaranteed by
law, and concentrate their disposal and
control in the Federal government.
Speakc. Cannon has made a state
ment explaining that no alfront to
President Roosevelt was intended in
the failure of the House of Representa
tives to receive the special message
which he sent to Congress late on Mon
day afternoon.
