tSnctAt. TELEGBA.M TO TUB StSPATCIII
JTew York, Aug. a This has been Re
publican day in this city. Among the
guests at the Fifth Avenue to-day have
been Senator Frank Hiscock and ex-Senator
"Warner Miller, two of the Republican "Big
Four" of New York; Chairman Carter and
ex-Chairman Clarkson, of the National Re
publican Committee. J. Sloat Fassett, of
New York; C I Magee and Thomas VT.
Phillips, of Pennsylvania; Ben Butter
worth, of Ohio; "W. S. Franklin, of Illi
nois, a member of the Illinois delegation to
Minneapolis, and Judge J. H. Feltman, of
"Wisconsin, besides a score or more of local,
but scarcely less well-known Republicans.
It was announced yesterday tbat a meet
ing of the Republican Executive Committee
would be held to-dar, but if it was held only
routine business was transacted, the de
tails of which were not given to the public.
A far more important meeting was held,
however, at the rooms of the National Com
mittee at 518 Filth avenue this afternoon, in
which the participants were "Whitelaw Reid,
J. Sloat Fassett, Cornelius N. BIIbs, Senator
Hiscock, Chairman Carter and "W. C Suth
erland, of Rochester. The object of the
meeting was to reach some sort of an under
standing with Tom Piatt, who was not pies
ent, but who was represented by J. Sloat
Fassett.
- Hiscock the President's Bepresentatlve.
Senator Hiscock appeared in the confer
ence as the spokesman for President Harri
son, and "Whitelaw Reid acted the part of
general peacemaker, on the principle that
everybody must be promised everything he
wanted.
The participants do not talk of what
transpired for publication, except to say
that an understanding was arrived at, and
that Piatt and tne party machine will be in
line at onec It this be true it is the most
important work yet effected by the Repub
licans, and means that from now forward
the campaign will be prosecuted with vigor.
The meeting of the Executive Committee
to discuss the details of campaign work is a
small affair in comparison with the harmon
izing of the'discordant New York Repub
lican factions, if they have consented to be
harmonized.
"Warner "Miller made a speech for the Re
publican ticket last night at "White Plains,
whith was quoted as an indication that he
buried the hatchet, and, as he has been
polling with Piatt of late, the inference is
hat Piatt, too, is placated.
The price of Piatt's enlistment in the
Harrison war is not stated, but as he was
never known to work for love or glory the
general opinion is that he has been prom
ised everything in sight, so far' as New
York is concerned, including a Cabinet po
lition for himself if Harrison is elected.
One of Mr. Magee's Objects.
It Is reported that Mr. Slagee is here at
the suggestion of "Whitelaw Reid to meet
Hugh O'Donnell and patch up a peace be
tween the Homestead workers and their
employes, and tbat he has held several con
ferences with O'Donnell at the house of
John Milholland, who is "Whitelaw Reid's
literary factotum and a former employe in
the contract labor bureau at Ellis Island.
Mr. Magee, who is here with his wife, says
he came to see his sister off to Europe, and
that he !b not holding conferences with
anybody on labor questions.
There is little doubt, however, that the
events of the Hay and the week have added
a good deal to the confidence of the Repub
licans. The speech of McKJnley in Ne
braska yesterday outlined the Republican
campaign, and Butterworth.of Ohio; Frank
lin, of Illinois, and Feltman, of "Wisconsin,
all express confidence that Harrison can
carry their respective States on the tariff
issue.
The failure of thethird party to cut any
considerable figure in the Alabama election
has put backbone in the Republican lead
ers, as they claim that the Alabama result
indicates that the Alliance craze will prove
as abortive in the Republican States of the
North and "West as in the Democratic States
of the South. A few weeks ago they were
terrified by the movement. Now they are
inclined to give a good deal more time and
attention to patching up party peace in
New York as the chief point of the cam
paign. Republican Prospects looking Up,
The announcement that Blaine is to take
the stump in Maine is also quoted with a
good deal of satislaction that the Republi
can prospects are looking up. This is all
iudicaiive of the lines along which the Re
publican leaders are going to make their
battle. That no stone will be left unturned
to secure party harmony and rouse the
farmers and workinmen to the charge
which threatens the high protective tariff
in case Cleveland is elected may be taken
lor granted. If Piatt and Blaine and "War
ner Miller and all the other anti-Harrison
Republicans do not consent to forgive the
past and lie in the Harrison bed in the fut
ure it will not be the fault of Chairman
Carter, or of "Whitelaw Reid, either.
The proof fo the pudding is in the eating,
and if Piatt is placated the first evidence
h ill be seen in a move to paten up a truce
in the Republican city committee, which
is now in a snarl over the representative in
the new Assembly district made by the re
cent apportionment.
A settlement of the Homestead labor dif
ficulties in the near future would be an in
dication that there was some basis for the
report that Magee has been playing the role
of peacemaker. The appearance of Blaine
on the stump will be the best guarantee
that he has made up with Harrison, and if
all these things, transpire within a few
weeks the public may make up its mind
that the broken cogs in the Republican ma
chine have been mended.
Minnesota Democrats dominate.
MrjTXEAPOLTS, Aug. 3. Daniel "W.
Iiawlor, of Ramsey county, was to-day
nominated by the Democrats for Governor.
The platform denounces the force bill and
advocates a Pjfesidental term of six years
and by direct vote of the people. Harry
Hawkins was nominated lor Lieutenant
Governor and Peter Nelson for Secretarv of
State.
Alliance Pelerine Ont in Minnesota.
Sx. Paul, Minx., Aug. a General

Governor of Minnesota, last night wrote a
letter withdrawintr his name. This Wvpi
the field to the other wing of the party.
ueaueu uy jriiiuius uonnciiy. XI is stated
that the Alliance wing, numbering approx-
imately 20.000 votes, will join the Demo
crats. The Alliance faction will make its
fight in the Legislative districts.
ELKINS WOULDN'T RUN.
The Secretary or War Refuses a Nomina
1 " tlon for Governor of Wnt Virgin! He
Considered It a Couple of Hours First
Senator Davis Nominated.
HCKTUfOTok, "W. VAj, Aug. 3. Spe
cial. The afternoon session of the Repub
lican State, Committee was an uproarious
one. The Committee on Organization re
ported as Permanent Chairman Hon.
Stephen B. Elkins, Secretary of "War. On
being presented t8 the convention Mr. El
kins made one of the strongest speeches of
his life. After the usual committees had
reported the report of the Committee on
Resolutions was read and addpted. The
platform's chief planks follow:
Harrison and Eeld and the Ilepubllcatt na,
tional platlorm are indorsed, especially pro
tection, and favors that policy that protects
the. laborer; believes tlio McKlnley act one
of the best ever passed by an American Con
gress; believes in a duty on foreign products
and on foreign producers, the loreign labor
ers brought to this Country: rejoices that the
tariff Is not involved in the Homestead
affair; opposes such invasion by Pinker
tons; assures tlio people that therewlll
be no. deputy marshals at the polls
in West Virginia this year: denounces the
Democrats for breaking their promises and
for their extravagance, particularly In
public printing; the increase or office holders
and the increase of taxes and for keeping
back the progress of the State. It denounces
(jerrymander or the State and the act of the
Lestslature in refusing to seat General Goff,
and calls on the people to show their disap
proval of this outrage at the polls.
Elkins Refutes the Nomination.
Nominations for Governor were made in
the afternoon. Senator Thomas E. Davis,
of Grafton, Hon. G. "W. Atkinson, of
Wheeling, Senator P. "W. Morris,of Ritchie,
and Hon. J. E. Menagef, of Mason, were
presented ts the convention. At this junc
ture a Kanawha delegate got up and made
a rattling speech for Hon. S. B. Elkins f6r
Governor. At its conclusion the con
vention went wild with enthusiasm, which
lasted for over half an hour. Numbers of
prominent party leaders went to Elkins and
tried to persuade him to accept the nomina
tion, but he would not then accept, and
said he would give his answer at 7 o'clock.
After considering the matter in all its bear
ings. Secretary Elkins decided that he
could not accept the nomination, and so
notified the convention.
The call of counties was then continued,
and then, by the end of the roll, George W.
Atkinson, Thomas E. Davis, P. W. Morris,
J. E. Menager, H. Duvall, John Cooper
and T. P. Jacob were named.
Senator Davis Gets the Plum.
The last three were withdrawn, nd the
first ballot begun. Before it was concluded
all the other candidates withdrew in favor
of Davis, who was nominated by acclama
tion. Mr. Davis is a wealthy business man,
a Grafton banker, and State Senator from
his district.
Nominations for Auditor were next made.
Hon. J. & Hyer, Of Braxton: C "W. Hall,
of Kanawha; I. H. "Duvall, of Brooke;
& "W. "Willey, of Bummers, and C H.
Senseny, of Ohio, were nominated. Before
changes the vote on the first ballot was 256
lor Hyer and 217 for HalL Hall's lieuten
ants, seeing he had no chance, lead a stam
pede to Duval by casting Kanawha's 48
votes for him. Senseny and "Willey also
retired. Changes were made by nearly
every county to either Hyer or Duval, and
the vote when announced stood: Hyer, 413;
Duval, 347. Hyer was declared the nomi
nee. The convention then adjourned until
10 o'clock' to-morrow morning.
THE CANADIAN PREMIES TALKS.
Be Thinks the Dominion Hat Been Con
ciliatory to It 151c Nelehbor.
Ottatva, Okt., Aug. 2. Sir John Cald
well Abbott, Premier of ihe Dominion, in
a brief interview regarding canal tolls,
said:
I am not aware that Canada has ever
"manifested a querulous disposition in her
dealings with the United States, and, speak
ing particularly of our international rela
tions since I have had anything to do with
the Government, I am sure our bearing to
ward the people to the south of us has been
most conciliatory. Three times in the past
yeat have we Bent delegations to Washing
ton to clear up this very question of canal
tolls; and as tor our recent legislatIon.it has
all been lu the direction of furthering
friendly Intercourse.
Last session e passed a bill establishing
reciprocity in wrecking, and -when, not Ionic
since, we were asked whether the privileges
thereby granted would extend to the inci
dental use of our canals for these put poses
free of embargo we promptly and cheerfully
assented. Then, again, -it will be remem
bered tbat when a bill was introduced in the
House of Commons by one of our support
ers, designed to reciprocate the harsh treat
ment ot Canadian worklngmen In the
United States by providing lor Bimilar re
strictions upon their workmen in this coun
try, the Government termed to countenance
the bill and it was dropped; so that all
through there has been nothing in our legis
lation upon International subjects to Justify
an accusation of unfriendliness which the
press of the United States charges upon us,
and in which, I am sorry, a section of our
Canadian press so readily acquiesce.
EETRATED BY HIS OWN HAND.
An Absconding Judge Admits That Be Mis
appropriated Fnndt.
Boston, Aug. & Special Before
Judge Eben Hutchinson, of Chelsea, ab
sconded, he prepared and left with his law
partner, Colonel T. "W. Porter, a document
virtually acknowledging many of the most
serious charges preferred against him. This
document Shows that Judge Hutchinson
used his high position to defraud not only a
high class of business men, but a large
number of people in the humbler walks of
life. According to his own statement he
swindled in the Everett, a man by the
name of Simpson out of ?3,400. Here are
a few sample extracts from the document:
"Cash received to pay mortgage and
never applied." "Money received to pay a
mortgage. The money was never used to
purchase mortgage. The first parties sup
pose I have the mortgage and hold it for
collection." "Cash received to pay mort
gage of Mana A. Marston, but never ap
plied." According to this document the
lists of claims for money received for in
vestment and not accounted for amount to
176,025. It is said that criminal proceed
ings will be instituted against the Judge,
and every effort will be made to find and ar
rest him.
THE TEUTONIC JUST KISSES.
Dut She Broke the Record for the SpeeJd
ieit Single Day's Trip.
Nevt York, Aug. a The "White Star
steamer Teutonic made a heroic attempt to
ower the record between Queenstown and
this port on her trip, which ended here this
morning, and she might have succeeded but
for an unfortunate accident to her ma
chinery lost night. The Teutonic did not
leave Qneenstown until -Thursday last, and
the performance of the City of Paris was al
ready known at Qneenstown when the Teu
tonic put in there after her run from Liver
pool. The steanfship was then in good con
dition, and it was decided that it she was
able'to distinguish herself she would do it
on this trip. Though she did not lower the
record, the Teutonic broke all best day's
runs by eight miles, when, during the"24
hours ending at noon yesterday, the steamed

fSFECUL TttEQnAM TO TRt rJISFATCII.l
Harrisbueo, Aug. 3. General Isaac J.
"Wistar, of Philadelphia, a veteran of the
late war, has written a long letter to Gov
ernor Pattison relative to the National
Guard and the Homestead aflair. The letter
was made public this evening. It is as fol
lows: Recent events having inspired a high ap
preciation of tne valuable qualities that our
State Guard has shown Itself to possess, I
have seen with regret some strictures on
minor but essential points of Its administra
tion, such as the punishment of worthless
and unsoldleiy members, which seems to be
a poor return Tor a self-sacriflclnj: patriot
ism of the body at large, notwithstanding
they do not appear to como fiom persona
whose pursuits or experience indicate any
special Utness for an iutelllgeht criticism of
military government. For my part, I be
lieve that a citizen should not be called to
perform such wore as they are now doing,
except after all other reasonable expedients
have been tried and failed.
Hie proper instrument would be a paitl
State Constabulary of military organiza
tions, trained for both preventive and re
pressive service, and rigidly protected from
the interference of party politics. Such a
force, quite moderate in numbers, would un
doubtedly prevent a large part of current
crime, to the unspeakablo relief of our farm
ers and wage earners, and would detect and
subject to punishment most of the re
mainder. Military Duty Only an Incident. t
Incidentally, it would perform the equally
necessary duty of preserving order on a
large scale, and in the present case would
have prevented a resort to private police,
and ttrobably avoided any riot at all.
It is a hard thing to call on young men, the
generous flower and hope of the State, to
abandon their employments 'without notioe
and remain absent an indefinite time,
with nothing deserving the name of compen
sation, to perform duties properly belonging
to a paid and pensioned police; a shining
mark for the hatred of the lawless and the
abuse of sentimental and other oranks.
there would be no necessity to demand
such a sacrifice If the Legislature had per
formed Its duty. Surely the imperial State
of Pennsylvania can afford, like other civil
ized countries, to pay for and assure pro
tection to all its poor and industrious citi
zens who cannot afford to hire private police
to protect their own homes.
Yet, when in the absence of such Just and
sensible legislative precautions, the State is.
compelled, as now, to array its ultimate
strength, the honor and safety of the Com
monwealth requires that Such strength
should be a well disciplined and irresistible
military body; ahd every soldier worthy of
tne name win agree mac prompt military
discipline, uniform and unbending toward
Individuals, can alone produce and main
tathtSucb a body.
Ketone is more sorrowfully aware than
myself of the decline and failure or criminal
Jurisprudence in our country, where almost
the only Justice administered to the most
homicidal criminals baa come to be by extra
legal bodies of outraged neighbors.
IWt Cornstalk Militia Wanted.
In civil iV the total failure of this feature
of Justice fwls mostly upon the prior ahd de
fenseless, wbo must, perforce, endure it un
til Borne patriotic ahd fearless statesman
shall devise aremely; hut In military or
ganization no duch failure can be endured
an instant without the destruction of dis
cipline and efflcletioy, and the reduction of
our military stretfgth to the worthlessness
of the old "CornstiJk Militia."
Treason and disloyalty are among the
vices which not only render any soldier
worthless, but tend tb poison the mass and
wither the arm of Executive power, selected
by the people to assure peace and order. To
maintain by taxation a pretended military
force which shelters in ltsho8om or falls to
root out such latal cancers, would be a
simple waste of monev, for novmllltary body
is worth its rations that canntit be trusted,
and none can be tiusted that tolerates dis
cordant and rebellious units inclined to im
pose conditions on their fidelity.
Those who have seen the real comparative
value in war of dilfeient military organiza
tions tested and contrasted on a large scale
will assuredly rank the habit of discipline
second in Importance to no other quality of
troops. More and better courage is cominon
to the mules of most animals, but dlsoipline
Is the flower and lrult of long associated W
fort. the object earnestly souirhtbv all orrekt
Commanders, tinder its stern yet benignant
Influences the citizen becomos a soldier; de-J
vocion tenus zeai to oruinary uuty: tne cov
eted post of honor Is in the chai Ring column
or the blood-bought sally: and a noble and
proud obedience becomes the easy and in
seperable habit of the soldier of all ranks.
Soldiers Should Not Even Tote.
It has not been numbers or noise or the
clang of arras or even Ill-regulated individ
ual courage, but discipline and unity of pur
pose that have made great the celebrated
armies of the past and covered with glory
those people and leaders wlio have best
known bow to cultivate, cherish and main
tain their quality.
WAr is a trial ot strength, and its argu
, ments must necessarily be rude. For mere
sentimentallsm it has no place. Specula
tive opinion must be left at home by the sol
dier when its trumpets sound, and even the
voting habit is best postponed when the vo
ter draws his sword, llencefoitli he has
elected to be a willing unit in his country's
martial strength, and in obedience to his
oath of service must accept those rules
which all accumilated human wisdom and
experience have loundbestadapted to make
that strength effective.
When theimistress of the World opened her
gates to Alarie, It w as not to reap political
advantage nor to gratify seutlmeutfj yearn
ings, but because his firm legions stood
, torch in band by her granaries, and offered
to her people the stern alternative of death.
Such pre and must over be tlio p reunion ts of
war. r.nd no people of our conquering raoe
can afford to brush aside Its approved mlos
to fit the caprice and sentimentallsm of Its
old women of either sex. Strength alone is
for the moment the object to be cultivated,
and that is only to be tound Indiscipline,
for which there is no equivalent. This Com
monwealth is now, through no choice of its
own, at war against lawlessness, disorder
and the cruel tyranny of associations over
individuals.
Individual Thumbs Versus Discipline,
Therefore, its law-abtdins and liberty
loving citizens should seek stiength by and
through discipline, and join bands in sup
port of those gallant rqen and offloerg 'who
know how to prize it and strive for it In the
field. Of what consequence are the thumbs,
or, for that matter, the nook of any single
member or "coffee boiler" whose insubor
dination or treachery might betray the
Commonwealth or cost the lives ora hun
dred ot its faithful soldleis and the bereave
ment of as many families.
As far as I am awaro, I am personally ac
quainted with few or none of our defenders
at Homestead, who belong to a younger
generation; but as one who prefers Individ
ual liberty to the capricious despotism of
secret committees, I honor their i patriotic
devotion to unsongh and unwelcome duties,
and, most of all, their quick perception and
willing adoption of those rules or discipline
which alone can convert citizens into ef
fective troops.
It Is the fatuity of mere ignorance to
sneer at such soldiers as "militia." Their
nobility, promptness, endurance, accept
ance ot discipline and ready support or
their officers, all proclaim to every compe
tent eye that they ale soldiers' who will
carry the Stato's flag untarnished and give
a good account of themselves in irout of
any foe. In volunteering to say so muofa, I
do not forget that fools are said to rush in
with their counsel where wise men fear to
trend. And yet, since it happens that I am
not entliely without experience In the In
stitution and In command ot tioopi, and
have In past times suffered somewhat, both
in person and estate, for our State and
country, I have made bold to hope that it
might not be altogether presumptuous for
mo to offer to tho constitutional Com
mander in Chler of the Stato Guard this
tilbutototbe obvious soldiery qualities of
the command, and mv Warm appreciation
of the efforts of the body of Its officers and
men to instill and maintain the discipline
which alone distinguishes tioops, however
well dressedand armed, from an unman
ageable, armed rabble.
A FUGITIVE'S RETURN.
James Hunter, the Forcer, Is In Philadel
phia Again, a Mental Wreck The Death
of Bis Wlfo Struck the Finishing Blow
Facing the taw.
PniiiADEi.pniA, Aug.a James Hunter,
who left the country in 1887 upon the ad
vice of friends, to whom he told the finan
cial standing of the firm of John & James
Hunter, and over whose head two charges
of foreery have been hrfngingever since, has
returned to his home here and is now under
bail to appear at court
The Btory of the man's flight and wander
ings, coupled with the death of his wife,
and, as it appears, the loss of his mind, is
one which can seldpm be told of a human
being. He arrived in New York on the
steamer Lequaseano from Montevideo on
Sunday, in company with his son, James
Hunter, Jr., and immediately came to
Philadelphia. David K. Purmah, a son-in-law,
and Leedom Sharp, a life-long friend,
who were consulted about the matter the
same day. advised Mr. Hunter, Jr., to lay
the tacts before District Attorney Graham.
Subsequently Dr. "W. E. Hughes ex
amined Mr. Hunter, Sr.,and certified that
he was suffering from dementia; was unable
to talk intelligently or transact any busi
ness, and that his condition was permanent
and likely to increase in intensity. The re
sult of a consultation was that the District
Attorney agreed to accept $10,000 bail for
the appearance in court ot the returned
forger. -N.
Mr. Huhter, accompanied by his son, fled
the country in 1887, finally settling in
Montevideo, where he was joined by his
wife. About a year ago Mrs. Hunter died
6f smallpox and Mr. 'Hunter's mind, which
bad shown signs of decay, became com
pletely unbalanced. It was the tact of his
father's insanity that led the boo to resolve
to bring him back to this country to face
the indictments hanging over him. During
Mr. Hunter's exile he' was supported from
the income of the building operations of
his son. The children of Mr. Hunter made
a move a year ago to cleanup the cloud ot
guilt haBging over "the head of their lather,
but Thomas G. Hunter, one of the sons,
was stricken with brain fever and has been
ill ever since. Now they will push the
case ahead and await the verdict of the
court After that they will await the ex
piration of the limit of Chile's burial law
to have the body ot their mother brought
here.
ALDEBMEN WITH TENDER FEELINGS.
Boston's Lawmakers Object to Being the
Sabjects of Gags at Theaters.
Boston, Aug. 3. Special The town is
laughing at the Aldermen again because
of their new rule that no Boston theater
Rhall have a license tbat does not promise
not to make fun of them. As a result two
theaters, the Tremont and Boston, have
failed to come to terms. The the
ater managers are always lib
eral with the Board of Aldermen
and their friends. It naturally fol
lows that with such a taste for the the
ater among them the Aldermen dislike to
feel that any moment, while quietly exer
cising their privilege of censorship on the
play, a rude and unseemly joke, of which a
Boston Alderman is the butt, may ouend
their dignity and disturb their- friends and
families. Thus Hheyr decided to make a
stand.
The campaign opened yesterday after-i
noon. The committee sent" a request to the
manager of every theater in Bostdn to meet
with them, as objection was made that too
many "gags" had been sprung at the per
formances of several of the houses at the
expense of the City Council, tending to
hold its members up to ridicule. The man
agers of all the theaters except the Tre
mont and the Boston complied with the re
quest, and agreed that their attractions
should be more circumspect in the future.
The Tremoht and Boston didn't get licenses,
and ran their performances to-day without
any.
A JAG COMMITTEE FINDS NO JAGS.
Tom Watson's Colleagues Will Beport To
Day Against Bis Charges. a
"WAsnrsaTON', Aug. 3. Special
Congressman "Tom" "Watson has failed to
convince the members of "the Jag" com
mittee that "drunken Congressmen reel
through the aisles," etc. The committee
appointed to investigate his charges against
members of the House completed its wdrk
this evening, and the majority will submit
their repor t to-morrow. It will show that
Watson was unsuccessful in sustaining his
charges, and some sharp critioism will be
passed upon the notoriety-seeking young
third party man. He will not be censured
vuecause iub cuargea were uub ixiaue upuu
he floor of the House, and also because the
Speaker and other Georzia Democrats don't
propose to make a political martyr ot mm.
Public sentiment and the sentiment of his
Congressional associates is all against him,
and neiwill discover that by the report
which Chairman Boatner will present
"Jery Simpson, who represents "Watson
on the cqmmittee, will submit a minority
report, claiming that the charges have
been lull A proved. "Watson, it is under
stood, is "dilposed to filibuster against the
adoption of tfte report adverse to himself.

rest. Shortly before 10 o'clock last night Joseph
Br on tell, of South Twenty-seventh street,
was fatally stabbed by George Strasser.
He was removed to the Southsido Hospital,
where he made his dying statement shortly
before midnight Upon examination his
injuries were found to be of such a nature
as to preclude all possibility of his recov
ery, and his death was expected within a
few .hours.
The affray was the result of an old feud,
as there had been bad blood between the
two families for a long time. A civil suit
before Magistrate Succop had so angered
Brontell that last night he got into a
quarrel with Mrs. Strasser, and had
terribly slashed her on the arms and hands.
"When her son .George heard of the1
encounter, he became greatly enraged and
went to Brontell's home with the intention
of taking revenge for the attack on his
mother. In the fight that followed both
men drew knives, but Strasser being the
quicker Of the two succeeded in stabbing
his assailant in the abdomen the fall length

THEN CONSIDER ANY SINGLE ATOM, IT IS,
to be sure, good for nothing. With Capital and Labor
united, you have Prosperity, Power and Human Felici

goods and Carpets. The man that makes two blades of grass
grow in place, of one, or makes one dollar do the work of two,
as we are doing these days, is a benefit to any community. To
see the crowds of magnificent men and" women and the pretty
and- neatly-dressed children crowding around our counters these
sweltering days is strong proof that bargains like these are not
to be found at the other stores.
