SATURDAY EVENING, SEPT. 10, 1881.
A Silly Performance.
We print some striking correspond
ence between the secretary of the beard
of trustees of Millersviile normal school
and one of the graduates of the institu
tion, whom, together with another alum
nus, this beard in its wisdom has seen
fit te exclude from the' grounds and
buildings. On the face of the corres
pondence no re:isen appears for this ex
treme act of the beard, and it carries
with it the condemnation of that body,
for its lack of common sense as well as
common justice. Frem Mr. Myers we
learn that there has been no previous
correspondence between him or Mr. Wit
mer and the beard in relation te their
exclusion from tiie grounds of their alma
mater and the libraries of their literary
society, and that his only knowledge of
the causes leading te this remarkable
action is a private intimation, from the
steward of the institution, that the
faculty and beard weie displeased
at his active sympathy with the
students who conflicted with the
faculty last term, and for that the
beard proposed te exclude him from tiie
grounds. "We need net say that this is a
wholly inadequate explanation of what
is prima facie nn arbitrary, if net ille
gal, action by the trustees of a public ed
ucational institution partly under state
patronage. We have no idea that the
beard can make geed its action or sus
tain itself before the law in the attempt
te exclude, from its grounds and halls
pel-sens who have at least acquired a
legal right te accras te and use of the
society libraries. But apart from the
legal aspects of the case which we
trust Messrs. Myers and W'tmer will
submit te a judicial examination
if their exclusion is insisted upon
in a mera' view the action of the
beard can only be legarded as
Ul-advised and contemptible, it can
net be denied that alumni of the
institution and members of the societies,
living in the village and close te the
interests of the students, are entitled te
a consideration which strangers could
net expect from the management of the
Millersviile school. If, then, the active
'sympathy of such persons with the cause
of the expelled students warrants their
exclusion and expulsion from the
ground-! hew much mere defensible
would it h.-- for the trustees te issue
their ukase against everybody who was
of the same mind ! And hew can they
consistently refrain from doing se ?
Such a logical performance en their part
would bar the gales of their enclosure te
the editors of the Ixtkm.igen'ceu and
of a scen; of ether papers in the state
and against thousands of their readers.
If the authorities mean this, why de
they net say se ?
Mw.CiiAni.r.s S. Wolfe's announce
ment of his independent Republican
candidacy for stale treasurer is of much
mere significance than the premise it
makes of Democratic success or of en
livening what, was expected te be a dull
campaign. Mr. Wolfe is often adjudged
even by his friends te be indiscreet ; he
is acknowledged even by his enemies te
be honest ; but it is a mistake te sup.
pesa that he acts entirely upon im
pulse. In this instance lie has measured
the consequences of his action
and calculated its effect as a
factor in state politics. lie simply
proposes te submit te his parly a test of
the popular strength of the two elements
which compose it, which he. thinks can
be made with less serious consequences
in this off year than in any ether. He
knows the judgment expressed by the
state convention in condemnation of the
independent element, of his party, and
in approval of the Parden Mill and Office
Ring element was net the honest judg
ment of the masses of Republicans in
Pennsylvania, and he appeals from the
packed convention te the free voters.
Ilis scheme lacks " regularity" and its
announcement conies after some of his
newspapers and political friends have
with feeble apology " caught en" te the
machine. But it is a year when " regu
larity" counts the least and a great many
Republicans may be "disposed, new that
the issue is made up, te record their
votes en the same side as their honest
feelings are.
Simultaneously with the presence
of Mr. Edward MacPhersmi in this city,
his friend, the Nvtc Era, explains the
scope and meaning of the third resolu
tion of the Pennsylvania Republican
convention. It is intended te be a de
nunciation of Stalwartism and a declar declar
tien that Mr. Garfield was shot for his
opposition te it. In ether words Gui
teau was the instrument of Conkling,
Cameren & Ce., te relieve them from
the embarrassments into which they
were placed by the president's consci
entious? discharge of his duties. It is
needless te say that the convention took
no such view of this resolution, or, com
posed ;is it was se largely of the friends
of the Stalwarts, it would net have
passed it. But this is understood te be
MacPliersen's explanation of it and it is
well that it should be se avowed and
put en record.
We observe that the Republicans of
Cumberland, the Democrats of Dau
phin and minority parties in ether coun
ties of the state continue te nominate
two candidates for county commissioner
when they can only elect one. The
Chester county Democrats, we believe,
are about I e abandon what has proved
te be a demoralizing practice. Twe
candidates running when only one can
be elected, "cut" each ether, and each
tries 1 1 run the ether low enough te
elect himself. It is purely a fight within
the party and as such should be settled
by the party in the convention or. at the
primaries. As new made in the counties
referred te it stirs up bad bleed and
makes unnecessary'treuble.
It was very kind in Secretary Frantz
te notify Mr. Myers that the order of the
Millersviile state normal -school trustees
bad no effect beyond their, grounds.
Otherwise Mr. Myers might have in
ferred that their jurisdiction was na
tional and that their order of exclusion
was an edict of expatriation.

The story of the fires in Michigan is a
sorry tale of devastation. A thousand
square miles have been burned ever, ten
thousand people jxre homeless, and te
hundreds nothing of home or property

the prize. Comet B., or the great comet,
burst suddenly en the sight iu this country
in June, though it was first seen iu Seuth
Africa May 21st, and its appearauce was
predicted near Beta Auriga: for June 23d
last, this prediction being exactly fulfilled.
Comet B was neither telescopic nor unex
pected, and yet Warner was anxious, could
the first discoverer be found, te make a
special award of $200. Nearly 3.000 letters
claiming priority have been received and
examined, but Director Swift reports that

A Leve Match Alter All.
Bosten Transcript.
I have this moment received a private
letter from an American lady in Euglaud,
saying : " Yesterday I was at the Bareness
Burdctt-Bartlett Coutts's at a very de
lightful garden party, but it rained, of
course, as it always does at an English
garden party, and we adjourned te the
conservatory for the entertainment. I
must tell you that the sandwiches con
tained nothing but butter and spiced toma
toes, and were delicious. The bareness
was clad in brown satin, with a pre
fusion of white lace, and were fewer
jewels than some American woman wear
te breakfast. She leeks every year her
age, but her hair has net a thread of gray
in it. I like her. As for her husband, he
is, as the Bosten girls say, "tee awfully
nice for anything. " I de net wonder that
the bareness fell in leve with him and
married him, and that she is very proud
of him. She leeks radiantly happy, and
evidently doesn't care a whit for the
queen's snub, which everybody has been
talking about ; and with se devoted and
charming a husband, who also leeks se
renely happy, why should she?"
What It Means.
New:Era.
The" third resolution is a self-condemnation
of " Stalwartism." It declares that
Presideut Garfield has been temporarily
withdrawn from the discharge of important
antics, for which he is remarkable quali
fied, " by a peculiarly infamous crime and
an undeserved assault for a conscientious
exercise of a proper executive power."
This is an explicit condemnation of the
senatorial bosses and an unqualified en
dorsement of the course of the president
in resisting their dictatorial attempt te
override his administration.
WOU'E FOR STATE TREASURER.
The Union County Representative an Inde
pendent candidate.
Te the Editor of the Frest, Philadelphia :
Lewisbcrg, Pa., September 9. The
black flag has been raised against the Independent-
Republicans of Pennsylvania.
Please announce that en my own responsi
bility I am an Independent Republican
candidate for state treasurer, in full sym
pathy with the administration and against
the rule of the bosses. I will stump the
state and give my reasons for this action.
Charles S. Wolfe.
" But."
Philadelphia Press, Etl.
We are equally amazed and grieved at
this extraordinary action of our respected
and valued friend. If his dispatch had net
reached us last night at an hour after the
telegraph effice in his rural town had
closed, and tee late te admit of further
communication, we should earnestly have
begged Mr. Wolfe te desist from this ill
judged and unjustifiable purpose, as we
new counsel him te retrace his hasty and
impetuous step
Mr. Wolfe is earnest, courageous and un
faltering, lie has the fervid spirit of the
enthusiast. He has wen the confidence of
raauy Republicans who care nothing for
politics except as a matter of principle. If
lie shall take the stump through the state
the people will come te hear, and it will
require earnest effort and candid argument
te remove the impression he will leave.
The swift development of this peril is proof
that the warning we sounded in advance of
the convention was spoken in the highest
interest of the party.
An Independent View.
Philadelphia Times.
The dose admiiiisteicd by the bosses en
Thursday was a little tee much. Te see
Quay presiding ever a Republican state
convention ; te sec one of the Grant dele
gates te Chicago rewarded with the nenii
nation for state treasurer ; te sec eue of
the belters of last winter severely vat down
upon ; te see Cooper put at the head of
the new state committee, and then te have
all this declared te be the Republican
party by a set. of resolutions indorsing
Garfield's administration all this is mere
than Wolfe can stand.
jMr. woiie is as geed a Kcnubhcan as
there is in the state. He announces his
support of the administration and no ene
will question his sincerity. Frem a
thoroughly available position' Mr. Wolfe
offers the Republican party of Pennsyl
vania an opportunity te determine the
question as te which faction should rule in
the party councils, lie offers these who
have become tired of boss rule an opper
tnnity te declare themselves and te show
that an overwhelming majority of the
party if opposed te such domination. The
organs which have hurried forward te eat
the Baily crew will net be able te de any
thing ler .nr. Wolfe, but the organs arc
understood and npbedy will wait for their
opinions. The anti machine Republicans
of the state have never had such an oppor
tunity as this te demonstrate their right
by force of numbcis te control. the party.
Frem the Civil Service Standpoint.
.Nch- erk Evening Pet, I'cp.
We arc inclined te think that, whatever
else may be at stake iu the Pennsylvania
election, the cause of civil service reform
will gain nothing by Gen. Daily's success
and lese nothing by his defeat
STURJIS IN THE SUN.
A t"vesli Outbreak en Monday l.ar.
Rochester Democrat, Sept. 7.
On Monday at neon there was a fresh
outbreak en the sun The region of dis
turbance was just wheeling into view en
the rounding glebe. At first hut a single
small spot could be seen, but the disturb
ance in the chromesphere indicated that
spots were feiining rapidly. In half an
hour after the first observation three spots
were seen. The region was broken and
angry ter a great space, but the area of
the disturbance was net half se great as
that mentioned last week. A great group
of spots is just disappearing from view by
tne sun s rotation, as this group was
just coming into view when the great
storm region was disappearing, the spots
marking the fatter must seen reappear by
the suns rotation, unless they have bceu
dissipated while-turned away from us.
These disturbances seem te be in well-
defined belts north and south of the sun's
equator.
The development of a new sun storm
was coincident with the furious heat Mon
day, which was continued yesterday.
There was a delusive premise of rain Mon
day evening. Clouds rolled up in the
west, but there was no rainfall. It would
seem that condensation did net occur, be
cause the cool ciivrcnt which seemed ready
te bring rain was warmed by the over
heated air se that it failed te" perform its
efiice. It. requires cold te produce conden
sation, and the cold currents which are
rushing towards the heated regions become
heated by the solar energy and the het
earth, se this temp2r.1t.urc is net sullicicut-
ly reduced te produce rain. The rain of
last Thuisday night, although violent and
quite copious, was really of little conse
quence, se quiekly did the het earth con
vert it into steam. The thirsty plants
could hardly drink in the needed moisture
before it was evaporated. The forest fires
which were temporarily; subdued by the
rain, have broken out again, ami clouds of
smek cover the country. There is a
strong smell of lire in the air. Uncom
fortable nights arc succeeded by burning
days.
Iu view of present conditions, it is well
te husband the water supply, and all sup
plies. It is quite probable that the het
and very dry summer will be followed by
a long, cold winter There has been an
unprecedented evaporation of moisture
from the sea and earth. When the re
action comes ami condensation begins the
less of heat will be se great that the cold
will he severe. The effect of solar dis
turbances en the Southern scas.during the
winter in this hemisphere will still fur
ther complicate matters by adding watery
vapor, which must be condensed, robbing
the air el' its heat continuously. Any
considerable permanent increase of solar
energy would bring glacial action byincreas
ing the cold of winter through condensa cendensa condensa
sien of excessive volumes of watery vapor.
If the history of the great glacier which
once covered the site of this ciSy could be
fully" known, it would doubtless be found
a result of increased solar energy through
a series of years perhaps a maximum sun
spot period in net very remote times. Fer
man lived en the earth during the glacial
period, and the work of his hands is found
in the glacial drift. If the reaction from
the present excessive heat could be fairly
established before winter is here, the pros
poet would be b2tte.- ler a mild winter.
But if action and reaction are equal, and
the reaction comes iu winter, there will be
plenty of cold.

less sweeping and genera! and the less of i
lire was small, but en each side of these
mere favored counties hundreds of thou
sand of dollars worth of property has been
destroyed. The latest reports from all
hese counties encourage the belief
hat rain bad visited many of the
sections that the deluge of. flame
is largely subsiding. The work of im
mediate relief must new be systematically
entered upon. The lumber te build houses,
prevision of all kiuds, clothing aud seed
for future crops must be furnished in large
quantities te preyent still greater destitu
tion. The benevolent societies can safely
send money te E. Carleton, mayor of Pert
Huren, or te. Senater O. D. Cenger in the
same place with the assurance that the
means will be judiciously used. Prompt
action is urgently demanded.
The New Yerk, Lake Erie & Western
railroad company announce that they will
forward te the destitute sufferers by the
recent forest fires in Michigan, supplies of
any kind free of charge.
THE PKKSIDKNT UETTF.R.
Hopeful Feeling at Leng Rrancu.

immediately under the pseas muscle, near
the margin of the right side of the pelvis,
and tender the external iliac artery, from
which it is separated by the thickness of-
the pseas. With the bullet in this situa
tion, it is thought, the president will net
be inconvenienced in the use of his
limbs. It is believed that his lungs arc

MILLBRSVIL.LE.
AN INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE.
The Nermal Scheel Heard Exclude Twe
Graduates Frem the Grounds.
The following copies of correspondence
between the secretary of the beard of
trustees of MillcrsviHe state normal school
and Mr. II. K. Myers, a graduate of the
class of 1877, will explain themselves. Mr.
Myers is a resident of Millersviile, and has
been teaching the central graded school in
that town, readiug law at the same time,
and extensively using the library of the
Page literary sesiety of which he is a
member aud te which he has long been a
contributor.
Mr. I. K. Witinar was graduated from
the normal in 1870. He is a resident of
Millersviile, a well known teacher in the
county, aud also a member of the Page
society.
Secretary A. M. Frantz's Letter.
Millersville, Sept. 3, 1S31.
Mr. H. K. 3Iyek8 Dear Sir: I have
been instructed te commuuicate te you
the following resolution, passed by the
beard of trustees of the " state normal
school for the Second district of Penn
sylvania, located here, at a regular meet
iug held September 3, 1881, viz.:
"lieselced, That the secretary 00 in
structed te inform Messrs. II. K. Myers
and I. K. Witmer that they are excluded
from the grounds and buildings of the
Millersviile normal school, for cause."
Respectfully yours, etc.,
And. M. Frantz,
Sec'y of Beard of Trustees.
Reply te Frantz'M Letter.
Mi:. Axduew M. Frantz Dear Sir :
The official notification that the beard of
trustees of the Pennsylvania state normal
school for the Second district has forbid
den 1110 the school buildings and grounds,
is just received. Inasmuch as I was in
formed seme lime age by the steward of
the institution that the beard contem
plated such action, the receipt of your
note caused me hut little surprise. How
ever, I was somewhat surprised when I
examined the resolution iu vain te find a
reason for this step of the beard. In the
conversation with the steward; te which
reference has been made, I gathered that
the beard was angry because of the fact
that I sympathizetl with the students
who left en Juue 1. But without unques
tionable evidence that this is the ground
and reason of the action taken, I am un
willing te believe that the beard would
pass a resolution affecting only Mr. Wit
mer and myself,, when it might with equal
propriety and justice have included the
names of a majority of the alumni and old
members of the school.
Whatever may have prompted the res
olution, I am in the dark as te its full ef
fect. I am a member of the Page society
whose regular meetings arc he'd every
Friday evening, and whose library is open
every Saturday meruiug. Since I have
been a member of the Page for twelve
years, have aided in building up its libra
ry, and contributed liberally te every soci
ety purpose, I trust 1 may be pardoned for
inquiring whether it. is the intent of this
resolution te prevent access en" my part te
the meetings and library of the Page, or
merely te keep me off the grounds at all
ether times. By giving information early
en this point you will greatly oblige
Yours respectfully,
H. K. MvKitt.
Franiz's Rejoinder.
Lancaster. Sept. 8, 1881.
Mu. II. Iv. Mveks Dear Sir: Your
note of yesterday, asking for explanation
of the resolution of the beard of trustees,
which I had the honor te submit or com
municate te you formerly, is before me,
ami in explanation, I could only say, that
the attendance of society meetings upon
the ground or within the buildings, under
the terms of said resolution would be an
impossibility. Outside of that place the
resolution has no bearing.
Respectfully yours, etc..

lintlKS FUR THE FUCK.
Hen-Indigent Scheel Children May Ite Sup
plied. A scries of blanks have been prepared
for the use of pupils, principals and direc
tors of the public schools, by which these
pupils unable te purchase books may pro pre
euro the same iu regular form. The first
of these is a declaration from the parent
or guardian of a pupil, addressed te the
principal of the school, stating his inabil
ity te purchase the necessary school books
and stationery te enable his
child or ward te continue his
studies at school, and requesting
the principal te furnish such books and
stationery as are purchased by the district
for the use of the peer, premising te re
turn the same whenever required in as
geed condition as can reasonably be ex
pected. The principal then refers the ap
plication te any school director of the ward
in which the applicant lives, for the pur pur
pesa of making inquiries te ascertain
if the applicant is worthy of the charity
of the district. Having made the necessary
inquiries and satisfied himself of the pro
priety of the books being furnished by the
district, the director fills up an order
directing the city superintendent te
furnish the books. The supciintcntl-
ent fills up an order en a sta
tioner, who retains this blank as his
voucher in charging the amount in an ac
count styled " books for the peer." There
arc also forms te 1)3 signed by the teacher
notifying the city superintendent te charge
all books furnished by the beard te the
pupil receiving them, and credit the pupil
with them upon their return. The sys
tem appears very complete, and calculated
te prevent any abuses creeping into this
very worthy charity, while at the same
time there is no danger of any deserving
applicant being denied.

The Philadelphia Times says : ' Net
long age Mr. Geerge William Curtis wrote
that we should he thankful that none of
our American girls are ambitious for such
notoriety as was attained by the new with
ered beauty, Mrs Langtry. It would seem,
however, that at least one American girl
has caught the "beauty" fever from the
ether sitlc. The St. Leuis Pest-Dispatch is
authority for the statement that a young
woman of that city, Miss Nellie
Hazcltinc, recently wrote te a so
ciety correspondent of Eastern newspapers
recounting her numerous conquest at the
White bulphur springs, giving glowing
descriptions of her own tlrcsscs aud request
ing that both conquests antl dresses be set
forth te the extent of at least two columns.
The St. Leuis paper further states that
Miss Hazcltine's "pa" has just been
obliged te pay $1,500 en account of his
daughter's Hit tatien with an actor, whom
the young woman addressed in several
gushing letters as ' My sweet Pippe.' Ap
parently Mr. Curtis claimed tee much,
unless, indeed, as all may well hope, the
St. Leuis case is the exception that proves
the rule.'
Our private information is that this Miss
Hazcltinc is just such a goeso as the above
report indicates. Residents of Lancaster
who have met her declare her te be a silly
painted creature whose little brain has
bceu completely turned by vanity and flat
tery. A Copperhead Den.
Mr. Levi Grube, while plowing in his
father's fields en the farm in Caernarvon,
recently turned up st nest of young copper
heads. There were eighteen in all, ten

E.J. laisiuaii, the well-known gent:;'
furnishing goods dealer of North (luccu
street, has just completed a banner for the
Quarryville ledge et Odd Fellows, that is
a thing of beauty and a joy forever."
The obverse comprises a ground of crimson
satin, bordered with gilt lace and fringed
with heavy geld bullion. In the centre is
a large and handseme illustration of " the
three Graces," .surmounted by three links
joined together, the emblem of Odd Fel
lowship, while below is inscribed ' Aina
citia, Amer, Vciitas," the motto of the
order. The reverse side is a white
satin ground, with the inscription
" Quarry ville Ledge, Ne. 8! I, 1. O.
O. 1, Quarryvillc, Lancaster county,
Pa." The banner is mounted iipuu a hand
some pole, and long maroon colored
cords and tassels complete the cfiect of this
really artistic work. As a matter of local
pi'tlc and of justice te the makers, as well
as te correct any public impression that
Lancaster industry is incapable of produc
ing work of this character, it. is htated
that this beautiful banner was manu
factured complete by Mr. Kiisman and his
assistant Miss Sallic Pranciscus, and that
110110 of the work, with the exception of
some necessary painting, was done outside
of Mr. Erismaii's store.
The banner is te be carried iu a parade
of the order at Rawlinr.ville today, in
which Quarryvillc ledge and many ether
of the ledges in the lower end of the coun
ty will participate.
