STATE CAMPAIGN
WELL UNDER WAY
Republicans Making an Aggres
sive Canvass.
STRONG TICKET WELL BACKED
Rank and File of the Party Through
out Pennsylvania Appreciate the
Importance of the Coming Election
and Its Bearing Upon Local and Na
tional Conditions.
[Special Correspondence.]
Philadelphia, Sept. 21.
With the reopening of activities this
week the campaign for tho election of
the Republican ticket In Pennsylvania
can be said to be well under way.
Having an exceptionally strong tick
et in Judge Robert von Moschzlsker
for justice of the supreme court. Sena
tor A. E. Slsson for auditor general
and former Senator Jerernlah A Htober
for state treasurer, and with every de
partment of the state government un
der Republican control and admlnls
tered with exceptional fidelity to pub
lie Interest, and after the splendid
record made In tho successful fight for
a protective tariff by Pennsylvania's
Republican representatives In con
gress, the Republican party managers
look with confidence for a great popu
lar victory at the polls In November.
While every issue and every condi
tion should foreshadow a large ma
jority at the election. Colonel Wesley
R. Andrews, chairman of the Republi
can state committee, has sounded a
warning apalnst the dangers of over
confidence. Ho Is urging each commit
teeman to work a* though success de
pended npon the polling (it every vote
In his election district.
Judge von Moschzlsker Is taking no
part In the campaign, as he holds that
a nominee for tho supreme bench
should not participate In a political
canvass, and he Is continuing to dls
charge his duties as a judge in the
common pleas court.
His colleagues on the state ticket,
however, are out meeting the people
face to face and discussing the issues.
State League Convention.
Candidate*!? Sisson and Stober wer<'
yesterday in Erie, today they are due
in Meadvlilo in the morning and Erank
lin in the afternoon; tomorrow they
are scheduled to visit Mercer in the
forenoon and Newcastle later in the
day, and on Thursday they are booked
to address a mass meeting to be held
in Altoona under the auspices of th •
State league of Republican Clubs,
which will hold Its convention there on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
this week
United States Senators Penrose and
Oliver and practically all of the Re
publican congressmen from Penn
vanla are expected at this convention,
which It is predicted will lie one of the
most Important gatherings in the his
tory of tho league.
Besides the two United States sena
tors, anions the speakers at the mass
meeting will be former Secretary of
the Treasury Leslie M. Sl.aw.
If his duties as chairman shall not
Interfere. Colonel Andrews will alsr.
attend the convention
Various organizations have met re
cently, among them the War Veteran#'
club, of Philadelphia, and cordially in
dorsed tho full Republican ticket and
resolved to work Industriously to get
out the vote.
The Influence of a large Republican
majority at the coming election In
Pennsylvania, both upon national and
local conditions, will be far-reaching.
Should Pennsylvania falter. It would
be heralded from one end of tho Union
to the other that "Protection Pennsyl
vania" had repudiated the tariff bill,
which would mean a calamitous condi
tion for Industrial and trade conditions
possible until after the congressional
••lections next year.

Very Misleading.
Battersliy dime across this Interest
ing Item In the liMjwehold department;
"If men would answer their wives
kindly and courteously when asked
for money It In undoubtedly true i tun
the amount requested would not be
half us much us It vi *Mi|i| be if t ti<-

Battersby rend this Item over tw|, .
to make sure he grasped it- iiieiiiiin,'
and Just then hi* wife entered Ihe
room.
"George." she MHM. "I wni.l *<»IIN
money."
Battersby smiled affably
"YeR, my dear." lie pleasantly re
marked. "and how much <i<> you
want?"
Mrs. Battersby stared at him 11 >
amazement.
"I said I wanted some money."
Tills time she spoke with mucb dis
tlnctness.
"And I asked you how much you
wanted." Battersby merrily reminded
her.
"Fifty dollars!" she snapped.
Battersby almost fainted. He had
imagined she was after $5 and that
his genial tone would cut the amount
to $2.50.
But he handed over the fifty with
out further ado—and then tore the
misleading Item into Infinitesimal
fragments.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Panthers as Household Pets.
"A British official In an out of the
way Persian district Invited me to
stay at his house for a night," nar
rates a globe trotter. "I was comfort
ably settled upon a sofa Just before
dinner when my rest was suddenly dis
turbed by a loud bang at the sitting
room door, which, flying open, admit
ted two enormous animalß, which I at
first took for dogs.
"Both of them made at once for my
sofa, and, while the larger one curled
comfortably round my feet and com
posed Itself to sleep, the smaller one
seated Itself on the floor nnd com
menced licking my face and bands, an
operation which had I dared I should
strongly liave resented.
"But those white, gleaming teeth and
flashing green eyes filled mo with
something akin to terror. To my re
lief, my host entered at this Juncture.
" 'Making friends with the panthers,
I see,' he remarked pleasantly. They
are nice, companionable beasts.'
"That may have been true at the
time. The fact remains, however, that
three moritlis afterward one of tbem
devoured a native child."— I/jndon Tel

Nature Sometimes Makes Mummies.
Natural mummification, the chang
ing of the human body Into a dried
condition without artificial treatment,
is ari extremely rare phenomenon. In
a case reported by Hon. S. WoifTsohn
of British Honduras, a middle aged
cooly who disappeared between Jan
uary nnd March, 1907, was found more
than a year afterward, on May 0. I'JOS,
in a corrugated iron hut as a perfect
ly preserved mummy. The hut, In a
somewhat isolated spot at Sibuu, was
raised on blocks four or five feet above
the ground and had a door and three
shutters, one shutter being open, while
one had fallen out. 'L'he body was
clothed in a cotton underskirt, dark
jersey and duck trousers, two pieces
of rope around the neck proving self
strangulation. The desiccation seem
ed to have been favored by a combina
tion of conditions, the season having
been extraordinarily dry and the small
iron house excessively hot, though well
ventilated, while the body was thin
and attenuated as a result of mental
disorder.
Turn About.
A young English student late one
cold and wintry night fouud the door
of his college locked against him. Tho
young man outside argued wltii the
doorkeeper inside, cajoled and entreat
ed, but to no avail. Eventually he
slipped half a sovereign under tho door
and was admitted. R was a financial
deal wisely thought out on strict busi
ness lines. Once inside, be informed
the janitor (falsely) that, unfortunate
ly, after taking the half sovereign out
of his purse ho had dropped the purse
itself on the doorstep. The attendant
went out to secure it, but once on the
chilly, wet doorstep the door was slam
mod. Then tho deal was repeated, for
the shivering mercenary was not al
lowed into his warm abode until lie
had slipped the half sovereign back
again.
Thoroughly Prepared.
At a religious service In Scotland the
late Lord Kelvin noticed a youugstei
accompanying his grandparents and
sitting wise as a young owl through
the sermon.
At tho close of the service Lord Kol
vln congratulated the grandfather
upon tho excellence of tho young man's
behavior.
"Och, aye," returned the veteran.
"Duncan's weel threatened afore lie

Striking a Comet.
If we ask the effect of a comet's
striking tho earth we will readily see
that if the head of the comet were com
posed of Itowlders a collision would
have disastrous consequences. A. rain
of millions of great meteoric stones
would, of course, bring catastrophe.
If, however. It were merely a rain of
small particles or dust we might never
become conscious of It.for the parti
cles would never reach us. They would
be fused Into gas through friction will
our atmosphere many miles befon
reaching the surface. If the gases lib
erated by friction were in excessiv<
volume we might suffer discomfort o
even disaster. It Is estimated tlia
hundreds of millions of meteoric part!
cles strike our atmosphere every day
This would be a serious matter If w
were not protected by our great she
tering envelope of air. Occasionally
meteoric bowlder is large enough t
resist the heat generated by this fri
tlon and reaches the surface. This w
call a meteorite. The now establish?
connection between comets and m
teors is a matter of great Interest.
