from unwise friends, who are actuated

placed In a false position by this report,
coming, as It does, from friends. What
can I do? I have denied that I was a
candidate time and again, yet they will
persist In circulating these reports. I
navo ueen asked to deny these reports
and to refuse the Gubernatorial or Con
gressional nomination over my own sig
nature. Hut why should I do that?
Why should I refuse what has not been
offered me? I must wait until Ihe now
illations arc offered before taking nctlon
In the matter.
"1 would not accept the nomination
Ir tiovernor were it to come lo me
unanimously and I were certain of Its
being ratified by my election. Not this
year nor four year hence shall I accept
it. I like my home lu-JSrianton, but
sooner than go to U'aMunjtoii from tho
Twelfth district as Congressman I
nould leave Scrantou. If I weie to go
to Washington I should like to do my
duty as a Congressman, but I could not
do that under existing conditions, as
the time of Congiesnuen is nowadays
devoted to place-seeking for postolllco?
or department clerkships. Il Is not be
cause of my position that I slum poli

THE KNIQHT8 OF PYTHIAS.
Touonto, July 10. The growth of
the Knights of Pythias since 168-1, as
shown by the report of tho supreme
Chancellor, given to the piess to-day, is
unprecedented. The total membership
In 1084 was 130,000. The Increase since
then has been at tho rate of between
four and live hundred members a week,
being now-, Including the new grand
Jurisdiction of Xew Ilrunswlck, nearly
li'VHX) members. It has 4.1 grand
1 "Igel and S.f.OO subordinate lodges,
lie t ween three- and four million dollars
have been paid out to widows and or
phans by the order since Its organiza
tion. Hereafter the term of tho Major
General will lie four scars, and he will
be appointed by the Suptcine Chancel
lor. It ha been derided that a China
man cannot be a Knight of I'jtblat.
Tho Supremo Chancellor's ruling on

Broaftlirim's Hew York Letter
Special to the Cakbon Aiivocatk.
For mouths we have been grumbling
about cold cold storms, cold winds and
cold everything. Now It is all the oth
er way: Hot! hotterl hottest! 08 In
the shade and the prospect of a respite
Indefinite. It Is true that Long Branch
lies to the south and Coney Island to the
east; but Long Branch is too aristocrat
ic for tho million and Coney Island is
getting too democratic for the other ten
millions. It Is not pleasant to contem
plate, but the finest watering place on
tho continent of America (In ono por
tion of It at least) is becoming a place
where no decent man would dare trust
his money or his life. Within the last
threo years the disreputable elements
seem to have got tho upper hand, and
respectable people have given the lower
end of the Island a wide berth.JU
Manhattan Deach the company, haying
control of the property do their own po
licing, and tho consequence is the best
of order. Glhnoro's Band, one of the
finest In the world, plays there during
thu summer, and the burning of Mos
cow, with realistic effects, Is an cxhlbl
tlon only equalled by the best efforts of
the Crystal Palace Company of London.
I know not who Is responsible for the
condition of affairs at Brighton Beach,
but whoever It Is, it Is a disgrace to our
civilization that any such community
should be allowed to pollute such
beautiful and popular watering place.
Not a stone's throw from the principal
steamboat landing are dens frequented
by thugs, thieves and disreputable wo
men, all seemingly under the protection
of the regular police for the irgular
police never appear to. disturb them.
Bobberies occur every night, and fights,
assaults and frays arc constantly taking
place. Numbers of young girls have
been dragged out of these wretched
places, borne have been restored to
their parents and others have been
passed to the care of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children. It
Is New York and Brooklyn's great
breathing place. In the two cities are
considerably more than two millions of
people, and the outlying territory around
New York whoso Inhabitants make
Coney Island a resort, will make up an
oilier million. United by tho great
bridge, New York and Brooklyn arc
virtually one city, as much so as Paris
on the opposite sides of the Seine or
London separated by the Thames. With
all of our talk about the summer hegira,
not more than a hundred thousand or a
hundred and fiftv thousand go a sum
mering, and they make very little im
prcsslon on the two millions forced to
remain. To those two or three millions
then, Coney Island Is tho shortest cut
to the sea. The New Yorker takes the
Elevated road to the Brooklyn Bridge,
over which he is whisked in six min
utes; then another Elevated road re
celves him, and In an hour he is stand
ing on the beach listening to the ocean's
roar, or at an expense of twenty-five
cents, taking a genuine salt-water bath,
and after a moderate amount of mild
dissipation in the way of lemonade, Ear-
saparilla and other Innocuous drinks.
not to mention peanuts and pretzels, he
can hear tho music, see the fireworks
and be In his bed at half-past eleven, nt
an expense of ono dollar all told. The
eight hundred thousand Inhabitants of
Brooklyn are even more fortunate than
this. Thirty-lire cents will carry
llrooklyn man to Coney Island and
back, and with a respectable margin of
fifteen cents for refreshments, he- can
see all the fun.hear the mnsic, and If he
gets in a crowd, lose his watch and
pocket-book, and bo home In bed bv a
quarter nfter ten. I am now speaking
of tho wage-workers, the men who are
now wasting away their miserable lives
working eight hours a day.
It Is because this. Is the great popular
resort of the people that It should be so
well cared for, that a child, or woman
alone at night, would be Just as safe as
they would be In their own houses. It
Is a beautiful resort and worthy of tho
best care of our legislators and law
makers. It will not be many years till
the beautiful Boulevard that leads from
Brooklyn to the sea will bo lined with
magnificent residences, and Brooklyn
itself will be the most populous city In
tho Union.
In wealth, tho two cities of New York
Brooklyn have Increased In the past
year seventy-five millions of dollars, and
this has been In "the face of strikes and
labor disturbances such as tho country
has never seen before. It Is safe to say
that In a period of average prosperity,
the Increase of wealth In the two cities
iu tho next ten years will not be far
from a thousand millions of dollars, and
the census of 1800 will show a population
of considerable over three nilllions of
people. Every outlet for healthful en-
ollr ua"J " ' ' reason
why we look with such jealous eyes on
the city by the sea.
A very noticeable revolution has taken
place in the caterers to our public
amusements
which toin IU fax the J
whiskey Interest. Ilitffalo Ulll Is here
i , h s d West Show, ami having'
- r Indians and genuine Cowboys and
. "i
nlcklc-plated stage robbers, ho Is enabled
at the small charge of fifteen cents to
show you how an Indian warrior could
deprive you of your hair, how a cowboy
could make a target of you at a half
mile, and how a road agent could light
en you of you purse or your watch while
traveling on a Montana stage. The ex
hibition Is edifying and instructive. It
illustrates the possibilities of human
genius when pointed In tho right direc
tion. New York Is delighted. Fifteen
or twenty thousand pcoplo a day enjoy
this novel entertainment. But the point
I want to make Is this, that It Is lu the
strictest sense a temperance show. The
cowboy regales himself on lemonade,
The gory stage robber Imbibes nothing
stronger than sarsaparllla, and the
blood-thirsty Indian reeking with Im
man gore, slakes his thirst at the pump
and says, "Uulil fire-water no good."
This Is a terrible blow at tho lager beer
interest, and one which It will not be
likely to recover from before the next
election
Speaking of beer, we have rather a
queer complication here. A man named
Thelas runs a beer garden here, and as
an advertisement for his place, hired
band of musicians. Tho arrangements
between Thelss and his men were per
fectly satisfactory to all the parties Im
mediately concerned; but at this point
a lot of men calling themselves tho
"Carl Salm Club," Intervened and de
manded of Mr. Theiss that he should
discharge his musicians and hire mem
bers of the club. This he refused to do
and the club began a boycott. They
stationed men in front of his place of
business and hampered him So that at
last to get rid of them he paid them
$1,000. Ho then appealed to the law
and sent the whole batch to States
Prison; but tho funny part of the affair
Is, that Thriss had no license for his
place, and was therefore not entitled to
the protection of tho law. He was
backed lu his prosecution of tho boy
cotters by George Ehrct tho brewer,and
now the boycottcrs sw ear to a man that
they will drink no moro of George
Ehrct's beer. If they would only go
one step further and swear off beer and
whiskey altogether thcic might be some
hope for tho boycotters hereafter, if not
here.
Two thousand painters went out on a
strike last week In Brooklyn, and the
result will be watched with interest,
Last spring the bosses agreed to pay tho
men $2.75 for eight hours work. After
trying It for several months and finding
It a losing game, they notified the men
that on July first they would demand
ten hours. On this tho men strike, but
as I understand It, they strike In a prop
er manner. They arc now , going to
open co-operative stores and work for
themselves, and If they can better the!
condition In this way they will earn
Godspeed from every honest man.
This Is the way to strike. If they
think they can conduct business better
than their employers, by all means try
It, and If they can cam enough in six
hours to support them tho entire twon
ty-four, every one ought to rejoice.
Of course we don't expect much In
the way of business for the next eight
weeks, but I should not be surprised to
sec a boom In stocks early In the fall.
A short time since the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children ar
rested a young girl for selling flowers in
the street. This of itself seems a very
innocent occupation, and you nsk, Why
not let her sell flowers? Well, tho So
ciety discovered that most of the joung
girls selling flowers on the streets were
ruined, and the law says that this busi
ness shall not bo carried on by glils less
than sixteen years of age. The girl had
been arrested before, but her parents
contrived to get lfcr off. This time,
however, the girl was abusive and
noisy, and she was taken to the station
house where she remained all night,
On her examination in the police station
when the case came to trial, the girl
sworo she was sixteen, or past the un
lawful age; her father and mother
swore to the. same thing, but they were
confronted with their own declarations
of the girl's age, when they landed at
Castle Gaidcn a few years ago, and it
was uroved that the girl was only four
teen, so she was remanded to the care
ot tlio Society, and now it Is possible
that the father and mother will be pros
ecuted for perjury.
We have had an addition to the Mor
mon colony. I don't know why the
government allows this reel tilting for a
people that will cause, us great trouble
by-and-by. A moro miserable lot of
Immigrants I never saw low, brutal
ized Ignorance which can never assimi
late with the American character. They
undoubtedly expect a spiritual Mormon
empire where every ono shall be sealed
to a dozen wives.
Brooklyn Is gathering Its cohorts for
an attack oil tho saloons, and this fall
will see the battle raging all along the
line.
The Prohibitionists have renounced
both parties Democratic and Kepubll
can and they are going to fight it out
on that lino if it takes all the winter. I
predict thu greatest temperance revival
next winter that wo havo had since
1844. Everything points that way, and
we shall see what we shall see.

surrender of persons wanted for embez

Susquehanna, Pa., July 20. Elijah
Tclton, of Hawicy, has captured alive
this year,and has now In his possession,
probably the largest collection of rattle
snakes ever brought together at ono
time. There aro nearly 200 specimens
in the collection. He has them all to
gether In a mammoth cage, which lib
calls a den. Pclton captured the most
of these venemous reptiles early In the
spring, when they were coming out of
their dens, at which time, It Is alleged,
they aro the most deadly, owing to the
long tlmo the poison lias lain undis
turbed in the reservoir at tho base of
the fangs. Pclton affirms that the fangs
of none of tho reptiles have been re
moved, yet he enters the de.n in-tha
midst of them all, and handles them
with Impunity. The din made, by their
rattles when Pelton goes In among the
snakes is almost deafening. Some of
tho snakes are of enormous size. The
owner of this collection of the deadliest
of reptiles Intends to take his den to
Coney Island and other summer resorts
and place It on exhibition there. He
has refused an offer of $300 for his
rattlers.

Millions are lost annually and science
Is still, at fault. Accident develops one
of the greatest discoveries of tho age
and fortunes Invested In the raising of
swine and poultry are made secure. Mr.
J. McCann, P. O. Box 33 Bridgeport,
W. Va , writes: "The discovery was
entirely the result of an accident. A
splendid cock was almost dead with
chicken cholera, and a dose of St.
Jacobs Oil was given him. In ten
minutes he was entirely cured and
made healthy by Its use." Mr. Charles
F. Powell, P. M., Terro Haute, Cham
paign Co., Ohio, writes: "With a small
piece of bread in the form of a pill satur
ated with St. Jacobs Oil I saved two
very fine Polish chickens, which were
dying with thu croup. In a short time
I could not tell which of tho chickens
had been sick." Iu cases of hog-cholera,
It should be given with the swill, and if
refused should b drenched with milk
mixed with a small quantity of St.
Jacobs Oil.

Prof. Schcdler only proves what every observant consumer of tho Royal Baking
Powder knows by practical experience, that, whllo It costs a fow cents per pound,
