At this time, of the year when peddlers
are beginning to swarm throughout the
Valley It might be vv ell If our merchants
were to take prompt measures In tho direc

act applying to peddlers may not be unin
teresting to them la this respect.
"No person shall be licensed as hawker
or peddler or petty cliacman within this
State but such only as is a citizen of the
United States and who from loss of limb or

which disability shall be proven by certifi
cate or certificates from two physicians of
respectable character under oath, residing
In tho county where the application for li
cense, is made.
"No person shall be licensed as a hawker
or peddler unless he shall have resided at
least one year in the county in which such
application shall be made, is unable to pro
cure a livelihood at his trade, if he have
any, or by bodily labor."

The greatest joko of the season promises
to be (Jovernor Heaver's "Yours for ser
vice," which wound up tils rather lengthy
Inaugural over a week ago. Soon aftsr Its
utterance it was taken up by Senators and
Assemblymen, cchocdand re-echoed through
t lie vaulted corridors of tho public buildings,
and after that tlie politician, tho merchant,
tho banker and everybody, w ay down to
the small boy. was "yours for service"
every time. "Hut like everything clso It
will soon become a "chestnut" and find a
place with the political chestnuts of long
ago. Still If the Governor should fall to
represent clearly and honestly tho best In
terests of tits party, and they cotnprlso tho
majority of tho neoplo of Kernel's rather
doubtful State, ids words will rather jeo
pardize his future political elevation. How.
ever, such a misfortune Is not likely to be-
full Heaver as he will be surrounded tiy po
litical allies who believe in playing their
aids well, ami In making tho best of the
time between now and tho Presidential
election of 1883. Tho Presidential bee
does not bur., as loud In the lower House
rs it does in tho Senate, where It at times
reaches extraordinary buzzing proportions.
Of courso Blaine Is the man for Itcpubll
cans providing Quay don't want it, and It
is presumable, that ho will wait a few years
mora In order to give the gay old hypo-
drome of a Kilghtof Malncanothcr oppot
tunlty to taste the verdict of the people.
The death of .Tallies', tho two-year-old
son of General Heaver has cast a gloom
over tho executive mansion which time
alone can dispel, and has set back the live
ly social event expected on the Incoming o
the new Governor. Governor Patllson
and wife were a little too much of tlie Jcf-
fcrsonlan simplicity kind to suit the social
circle, and with Heaver It Is expected to be
somewhat different. Although It will not
bo what it was In the days of the jovial
Hoyt, for Heaver is a Prcsbytciian, an at
tendant at meetings and an elder, however,
tits w ife Is a bright and cultured weman,
and while at Hcllcfontc they mingled in
tlie social circle to a limited extenti
Tho liquor men who struck this place
last week were excited, indignant and most
awfully mad to learn thot the submission
plank, without compensation, had been
presented to the Legislature and would in
all probability pass.' Of course if it passes
that body Heaver will sign it, and then
why there will bo a mighty tumble in Re
publican stocks and whoever deals on mar
gin wilt have to pony .up or lose all. There
is quite a diversity of opinion on this mat
ter and It is argued excitedly pro and con.
It would hardly reflect credit en the repre
sentatives of the Keystone State to pass a
submission plank confiscating the property
of any branch of business; still there Is no
telling what the assemblage may do In the
matter you know they have done some
queer, very queer, things In the past and a
repetition of what has been Is not to be un
expected. The growth of tlie liquor ques
tion lias been somewhat marvellous during
tlie past few years, It lias forced Itself be
fore tlie leading parties of tlie State re
gardless of opposition and now the problem
must be met and disposed of, and In Its
disposition perhaps "boodle" will play a
distinguished part. Who can tell?
Governor Beaver has been haying a hard
week of it. It is enough to try a man's
soul to listen to the long lino of applicants
fur the most petty olilccs, some of which
hardly yield their salt. So far there have
only been about two thousand who have
Indicated their willingness to fill the fifty
positions in the gift of tlie new administra
tion. Even the Governor's pilvate secre
tary has been compelled to employ a short
hand writer to answer tho communications
from applicants for otllcc. How long the
struggle for the spoils will continue Heaven
only knows. Civil service reform don't
work well in the distribution of Pennsyl
vanla offices, and don't you forget it. They
all must go.
Tlie Scnato rejected four of Paulson's
appointments Tuesday as merrily and as
happily as If Governor Pattisou had never
been, and then as a means of Increasing tho
spontaneous enthusiasm they commenced
to drag tlie administration into Its pro
ceedings. The black mustached Demo
crat, Schnatterly, of Kaycttc, then offered
i resolution to the effect that tho clerk of
the Senate present to Grover Cleveland
and the heads of tho federal departments a
copy of tho proceedings of true partisan
ship. This resolution was deemed sulllcl
cut to bring on another kurst of applause
and laughter which completely drowned
the patriotic Democrat. Schnatterly want
ed the resolution to be passed In order to
stiffen up the executive and to satisfy wait
ing Democrats. It was moved to refer the
resolution to tho Committee, on Federal
notations, when an amendment was offered
to have it sent to the Committee on Canals
and Inland Navigation. Shortly after the
Senate adjourned In tho best of humor.
Governor Beaver's military staff was con
firmed without any difficulty.
Numberless Democrats are indignant at
the manner in which t lie late Governor's
appointments aro snubbed, and regard the
actions of the Republican Senate as a means
whereby President Cleveland icould greatly
benefit long waiting Democrats. It Is
thought, and not unwisely, ttiat the matter
will be presented to him In the tine light
sometime soon, which may result In a
change of Federal maneuvering? and put In
the "party to whom belong the spoilt."
Anyway It Is a bad move for the Republi
cans. Put your pile on that. "Yours for
service." PAXTON.
Broaflbriin's Hew Yori Letter.
Special to tlie Camion Advocate.
A couple of weeks ago a gentleman by
tho name of Sntffen failed here fn the ad
vertising business. Mr. Snlffen, personally
was a most estimable gentleman, of a good
social position, and fair business ability.
He had been private secretary to a former
President of the United States, and en
joyed nit the distinction and Influence that
such a position confers. On his abdication
of his official posltfon at Washington, Mr.
SnllTcn came to New York, asd entered on
the advertising business; bnt, beguiled by
the same delusive syrens that Inrcd the
mariners to ruin, ftom the heights of Lur-
ale, ho undertook the task of booming
"Duffy's Pine Malt Whlskev,"and "Laird's
lllooin of Youth:" and these two delectable
compounds landed him high and dry or, tlie
shores of bankruptcy and ruin. Now, be
It fairly understood, that personally, I tiaye
nothing whatever against Mr. Snlffen, who,
as I said before, I esteem a most estimable
gentleman, but if oyer a man deserved In -
solvency it was the aforesaid Snlffen, I
don't set up for a great moral reformer. I
am not prepared to say ttiat ever) thing In'
the shape of whiskey should be banished'
from tlie world though I am free to con.
fess that I think the woild would bo con-
sldcrably better oil If there was less of It
drank, and I am frco to declart that I am
heartily sorry for the man who sampled
Duffy's whiskey lurd by Snlffen's en
thusiastic and flaming advertisement.
This celebrated whiskey had been endorsed
by eminent orthodox clergymen professoi-3
of colleges had given It their unqualified
adhesion; nursing mothers had found noth
ing like It for improving their mwii vitality
and the health of their offspring; patients
n tho last stages of consumption had se
cured anew lease of life; and In cases of
broken limbs It was Infallible m knitting
the bones together; In curvature of tho
spine, nothing like it had ever been dis
covered; and for sciatica, rheumatism and
gout, It was a special boon of Providence.
Every druggist who expected to succeed in
business secured a few dozen of Duffy and
it really seemed as If the fountain for which
Ponce de Leon sought In vain was found
In Duffy's lillxlr of Life. Kro long the
bubble burst people concluded that Duffy
was a humbug, and ids whiskey a delusion
and a snare. Some people got It into their
heads that Duffy, tho boodle alderman,
who went back upon his fellow thieves, was
the Duffy who was endorsing tho whiskey,
and they concluded lli.it as Duffy was n
fraud, tho whiskey was no better than the
endorser; the sales fell off, Duffy could not
pay tils advertising bills, and jnior Snlffen
who was put in the hole, went to the wall,
and If any other advertising agent under
takes to induce tlie public to drink any
such compound as Duffy's whiskey, I hope
ho will share the fate of Snlffen.
But this was not all of Snlffen's misfor
tunes: he undertook to boom "Laird's
Bloom of Youth." It Is a terrible thing,
and I might add a shocking thing, to sec
an old woman who should have better
sense, with her choeks painted; but to see
a young girl with tier blooming face disfig
ured with an execrable compound of vil
lainous chalk, bismuth and vcrmllllon is
enough to shako a man's faith in the ten
commandments. It is hard to tell how it
was done, but Bloom of Youth got a foot
hold every where. Young girls with checks
like roses and Hps like cherries, wiped out
God's magnificent handiwork with tills hor
rible compound, and were not ashamed to
be seen In the light of open day, their love
ly checks daubed like those of that nameless
class. which aniesthctic journalist described
as soiled doves. But even this craze passed
away, and notwithstanding the most enor
mous advertising tli.it, too, went tho why
of all chalk. Mr. Laird. could not pay his
bills to Snllfenand Snlffen could "ot pay
his bills to anybody else, so for the present
that ends Snlffen. Moral, "bowaro of
Laird's Bloom of Youth and Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey." ,
A strange figure on the street is Mrs.
Hetty Green, the femalo Wall Street mil
lionaire. Of late, we have, been regaled
with a number of anecdotes of dead misers;
men who with hundreds ef thousauds, and
in one case, millions of dol!ars,havc dented
themselves, the common necessaries of life
and died in misery; but hero is a woman,
well bred, never knowing want, born rich,
eycr since she can remember having all the
money at her command that the heart of
woman can desire; and yet with, thirty
millions of dollars at her command, the in
terest of which she will never spend, Is to
day as close-fisted, as If her life depended
on the accumulation of dollars, and as If
her husband and tier son depended on her
for their daily bread. If yeu should sec
her standing in Wall Street on a rafnj day,
as she frequently docs, when watching for
pointers, with her plain dress and rubber
boots, if you were at. all charitably Inclined
the chances are ten to ono that you would
stop and drop a quarter into her old cotton
umbrella, and the chances area million to
one, that she would put It Into her pocket.
A story Is told of her, that a few years ago,
her son, tier only darling, for whom she is
saving all these millions, broke his leg; a
skillful surgeon came from the hospital,
and not knowing Mrs. Green and supposing
from their surroundings that the family
was poor, which delusion was not dispelled
by Mrs. Green, attended the little sufferer,
stipplvlng all the appliances from the hos
pital, and when the recovery was complete,
only sent'in a small bill for hit services.
Ho afterwards discovered how he had been
imposed upon; he sent in a bill of a thou
sand dollars, threatening to me If It was
not paid, and It is unecessary to add, that
.when Mrs. Grtcn found herself confronted
with a just claim, and a long possible bill
of lawyers' fees and costs, she paid the
doctor.
L hough long known as a bold operator
on tho Street, no one suspected tho extent
of her wealth till the failure of John J.
Cisco's Sons. This house, if not one of
tlie oldest, was considered one of the staun
chest in the land. The ill m had tho con
fidence of tlie best financiers in tho United
States and Europe. Tho panic of 1882
brought a sudden squeeze In all kinds of
securities, and If the Ciseos had been will
ing to do what thousands have done under
similar circumstances, and raised money
by hypothecating a million or so of the
securities that lay in their safe they could
have tidc.1 over the. evil time; no man
would have been any wiser, and John J.
Clscos Sons would have been financial
princes in the land to-day. Twenty-six
millions of Hetty Green's- securities lay
there completely at their mercy, but every
member of the firm was tho soul of honor;
with lifelong ruin staring them In the face
they would not swerve ono balr from ttie
line of right. The crash came. Hetty
heard the news, and it Is said, I don't know
on what authority, that she actuall hired a
cab and drove down town wild with affright.
The bank was closed, and she thundered at
the door for admittance; at last, she got In
tlie got her twenty-six millions all Intact,
packed them In her cab and drove uptown
leaving John J. Citcos Sont ruined. Her
husband had got several hundred tlionsand
dollars from the Citcos, and had failed to
pay them; this Mrs. Green did not want to
make good, but was finally compelled to do
so. Hers Is not a lovable character. A
miserly man Is a despicable object, even, If
ho has risen from the dirt and been pinched
by necessity; but a miserly woman is
detestable. I have tetn and heard much
of Mrs. Green for tlie past few years, and
I have never heard her name mentioned in
connection with any public cr private
charity, or anything by which any human
being but herself lias been benefitted. Her
millions keep piling up not for her bus-
nana, lor lie lias nan to paudlo lit own
canoe, and do some paddling for his wife
beside; but for Iter son, a weak headed boy
just about tuch a boy as such mothers
usually have. What will he do with It,
when he gets tt? Is he being trained for
the comprehensive me ot this enormous
wealth, when he Inherits it not a bit of It,
Will the world be much better for it If he

pects in a dissecting room. On my mention
ing the fact to a neighbor that I did not
fully appreciate the genius of Wagner I
received ttio consoling Information that I
had not the requisite cultivation. Maybe
that's what's the matter. I suppose it
rc.iulrcs the. same kind of education that
qualifies a man to appreciate the bouquet
of Schwetzcr Kase. There were nearly a
hundred Instruments in the orchestra, and
every slnglo fellow went off on his own
