Susquehanna, Juno ".Some very
p t range submarine monsteis liavp burn
seen In tho watois of Susquehanna
county ilurhiK the quartet of a cen
tury past. Few of them lme been
captured. In 1S73 a black monster was
seen In Crystal lake. It was thirty
fecet long, with a heart ns big ns a
barrel, and a tall UUo an eel. It was
said to be a species of sea sot pent,
which had crawled ovoilrnid fioni tho
sea coast. In 1870 a creature puzzling
to local naturalists, with a mane and
shurp tall and of a length nine ot
ten feet, wns een for months In
Wrlghter's lake, Thompson township.
Em num offered $7,000 nnd a season
ticket for Its cupture. In ISSt they
dug up a fossil ' Sea serpent" near
Clifford, a gigantic denture of the
Ilznid tjpe, anil n J ear later Harford
people ame upon a delicate eieuture
in Jones' lake. It wan of n dark
grey color, yellow underneath and
tastefully decked out with bright led
spots., nnd possessing, In addition to
the eustoinniy mane nnd piojectlng
ecs, a pair oft formidable horns and n
beak like that of a bulldog. In 1891.
a eientuio scarcely less Interesting
reealed Itself In Heart lake, near Mon
trose. It was forty feet long, ot the
shape and color of an eel, and with
luminous eyes of an attracts e sreen
and red.

A bird-eating species of frog has re
cently been discovered In the swamps
of Susquehanna county. Fnimer Coch
rane, of Red Rock, had his attention
called to the blrd-patlng propensities
of the fiog by the cries of a bird In an
adjacent swamp. Thinking It had been
seUed by a snake, he hastened to tho
spot and paw a beautiful led and gieen
bird In the mouth of a large, greenish
frog. Only tho bird's head wns vis
ible, and Its ciles were becoming
fainter. The frog was killed and the
bird released Its feathers were nil
wet and sllmv, and for some days It
could be distinguished In the garden
by Its ruffled plumage. The same spe
cles of frogs swallow chickens, and re
cently a duckling was lescueii from
the same fate These frogs constantly
make a chuckling sound so exaTtly
like a ben calling her chickens for food
that whole broods have rushed toward
the swamp where they supposed the
hen to be. The big cioakers are very
wary, and It Is difficult to find them
except by the screams of their vic
tims. RAILROAD BRIEFLETS.

THE opinion Is gaining ground In po
litical circles that the ticket nom
inated at llurilslitirg List week
will bu clciltd bj tin unusu illy
huge mnjorltj desplto the talk of
on Itirtepf nrtuit ticket being put In thu
Hi Id The Hi kit, from top to bottom, Is
an e t optimum clt.iu anil Mrong one -one
that no man mid be ashamed to vote
for Jt Is composed of men who have
M.rn In public capacities to the entire
satisfaction ot the constituencies whlili
thev have lepresintiil uml there Is no
good reason wh unj man who eills lilm
ilf a Republican should vote agnliibt anj
one of tho nominees
The fart tint David Martin Is reported
to be unxlous to ictnin control or the
city and county oigunlzatlons in Phil i
lelphla Is taken to mean that he uml his
loin-Mrs w'll not dare oppose the stale
ticket for tho reason that two can plav at
the same game Tho Combine leader has
not forgotten tho Crow fight two jenrs
ago and hu will no doubt soon announce
his lnti ntlon of supporting Colonel Slono
and tho entire stut. ticket. For similar
reasons Chris Magec Is expected to "tuin
In" for tho ticket. Culonel Stone Is Mn
gee's homo candidate and if he were to
oppose him he would precipitate a loe il
tight which would endanger his leader
ship in Allegheny counts In the futuie.
For the above and other riasons It Is
believed there will be no serious bolt
against Colonel Stono and his associates
on the stato ticket If the s-tate ticket Is
elected there will be no dinger about the
complexion of the net legislature, and
If Senator Quay desires to suioeed him
self ho ought not to have much trouble
in doing so It would be difficult to folia
a combination to defeat him It the legis
lature should be controlled by tho Demo,
erats and untl-Quaj Republicans it would
be difficult for them to ugiee upon a can
dldate whom they nil could suppoit. Tho
Democrats would Insist upon u member
of their party being chosen nnd the In
dependent lit publicans would do tho
same. A deadlock would follow, and
with Colonel Stono in the governors
chali he would naturally appoint Senator
Quay.
o
The Democrats are In decidedly woiso
shape than the Republicans Tne chanc
es of the wnrrlui tactions of that party
becoming leconciled are extremely re
mote. Far more bitterness exists be
tween the leaders of the two wings of
tho Democratic party than between tho
opposing factions in the Republican pnr
tv. The chasm Is deep nnd wide and
nothing except Piovidtnco can bilng
them together. All Indications point to
the untl-Ilauit faction controlling tho
Altoona convention, and If It does theio
will be no attempt at compromise. A
ticket to their liking will be nomlmted
legardless of consequences The talk of
the Democrats getting together and nom
inating a compromise ticket Is all moon
shine The men at the head ot the
antl-Hurrlty faction want a man noml
mted for governor who is not tainted
with Hairltilsm. For that reason ex
Governor Pattison stands no moie chance,
of heading tho ticket to be nominated ut
Altoopu than ho dees of becoming ez u of
Russia Tho meio mention of his inimo
In the presence of members of the domi
nant faction Is llko flaunting a red flag In
tho face of a bull Thej would agiee to
almost nnj thing but to his nomination.
So If Mr. llarrity has any Idea of si cur
ing a compumlse candidate for governor
ho had better trot out some otlu i man
than Mr Pattison From the looks of
things now Judge Gordon is thu blated
candid ito of the antl-llatrlty leaders llo
Is itgarded as the strongest candid no
tho Democrats can nominate. Ot course,
ho would bo opposed bj tho Hnrrlty fac
tion but, it Is argued, not any more th in
Colonel Guftcy would bo if ho were tho
nominee. Tho outlook, therefore, tor
Democratic success in Penusjlvnnla this
ear Is, to say tho least, not veiy flatter
ing. o
For the past few dajs much has been
publlshid in the newspapus uumernlmf
the effort being made to remove Mr. Hm

as saving that he expected to oe unseated

his fiee slhci followers, an expectation
that was fully tealUnl. Mi. Harrlty

that committee when he is openly op

was the- fact that ho ictused to do his
dutj as a member of tho Demociatle na

campaign by happening Mr. Bijan, tho

have voted for Mr. Bijnn but, b his own
admission, he did not perform the duties
of a uutionil committeeman ills oppo

NEW TIMES AND NEW MKN.
From the New York Times.
In the new relation to tho other na
tions of tho earth upon which we havo
already enteied, even If We assumo tho
axsponslblllty of no new possessions,
theio will be need of the highest ability,
scope foi Its exercise, and ample riivatds
for its success. Ambition will bo re
kindled bv n levival of opportunity, 'fllo
people, finding thut men of capacity aro
willing to servo them, will despise tho
self becking pigmies nnd by a wiser
choice at tho polls will restore the golden
age of our polities when a debate In the
senate madk. contributions of permanent
value to American lltcraturo and our
public papers were memorable examples
of wisdom and recognized models of
form.
o
This prophecy Is tho fruit of a buoy
ant optimism that, we are well awaie,
will provoko the elerlslon of those who
havo long been devoting their spare nio
mentn to tho labor of chiseling an ex
posltoiy nnd analytical epitaph upon tho
tombstone of this republic Let them
revel In their gloom. It Is their chief 1oj.
For ourselics, wo hive no doubt whU
eier that the wir with Spain will be fol
loved bi a reawakening of tho nation
The "fen of stagrant waters" will be
purired bv a brisk stirring. New
thoughts will come to men's minds, new
lsui s to our polities, a broadci view of
our place in tho world nnd In the woild s
history will lmrnrt a deeper Interest and
a larger influence to tho exercise ot an
American citizen's duties. The new con
tut y villi open upon nn era of advance
ment nlieadv sot In v hlch will carry the
lepublle as far beyond the Ken of men
now upon the stare of action ns the prog
ress of tho li st hundred years has tian
scended the aspirations of the lathers lor
tho nation they had founded.
o
Tho whole civic attitude of men In
place and out of It 1 changed by thu
raising up of questions of clemcntil
sweep th it aro Inwoven with the destiny
of tho nation They sober the Judgment
nnd deepen the seno of responsibility.
Though tho front of the world should bo
changed and the Anglo-Saxon alliineo
make tho Strait of Dover and the Golden
Gato Its eastern and western confines and
Hong Kong nnd Manila its neighboring
outposts, the development ot men would
keep pace with the development of
events Tho lew times would be more
stirring and life would he better worth
liiing, even for the croaking pessimists.
BLOOD THICKER THAN WATER
Hero Is tho song as sung by Miss Har
riet Vernon which Is setting London theater-goers
wild:
I.
John Bull's it sound nnd solid man, and
so Is Brother Jonathan,
Whate'er the strain will firm remain
their frlend-hlp fast and fond;
Despite some thousand miles of sea must
blood than water thicker be
That's why the broad Atlantic's ever
called the "Herrln' Pond."
CHORUS.
For blood is thicker than water,
I3h, John Bull?
Blood makes difi'rences shorter
Say, John Bull?
Not far remote when In one boat
May we together pull,
Then lick tho world could Undo Sam
And old John Bull.
II.
Sometimes, no doubt they both fall out,
and then hard mines aio thrown
about.
They go It strong, but ne'er for long
can thy unfriendly be,
Old Uncle Bern and Cousin Jack for Free
dom's cause stand back to hack,
Let tyrants quake while they two clasp
their hands across the sea.
CHORUS.
III.
To crush some tyi ant's cruel sway tho
world may find somo future day
Tho Union Jack and Stars and Stripes
ai e side by side unfmled,
Though countless foes might then unite
to teach tho creed of "Might, not
Right."
The foo must fall that meet In fight
"The English Speaking World."

SEIZE HAWAII.
From tho Washington Post.
Secretary Alger's letter to the Speaker
of tho house clears tho situation wonder
fully. It Ik now known olllclally that tho
administration proposes to move prompt
ly upon Cuba with a force sulllclent to
-nquer the Island. More than this, the
communication carries with It tho con
vincing statement that It Is to be tho
policy of tho administration to hold the
Philippine Islands, Cuba, and Porto Rico.
Immedlato connection with these present
and prospective possessions of tho United
States by cable lines Is nsked. Thcro will
be no ncecssltv for this action unless tho
new teirltory Is to bo retained.
o
This being tho case, the course of the
president Is clear. The Hawaiian Islands
should be annexed by executive uctlon.
There Is, according to a published state
ment, a law under which this can be
done. Already there has 1 en too much
tempoilzln with antagonistic but power
ful forces In tho- house and senate. Tho
majority In congress Is undoubtedly In
favor of annexation, nnd, under ordinary
clicumstanccs, this majority could securo
an expression of Its will. I'nwannntable
obstacles, howevel, have been Interposed
In tho house und even if that body
bhould finally be allowed to act, which at
last seems probable, the lack or any
method in the senate by which a vote can
be secured without great dilay gives to a
binall minority u strong lever bj which It
can prevent alllrmatlvo action. If, there
fore, tho president Is determined to hold
the Philippines, as indicated In Secieinry
Alger's letter, he will not lull to use the
power ly his hands bv which the Islands
can become a part of the I'nlted States.
In his action, no matter how ladlcal,
tho country will support him. llo has
emphatically declared himself In favor
of unnexatlon. Ho appealed to con

Admiral Dewev cannot be relieved; with

Ho took a thousand Islands and he didn't
lose a man
(Kalse jour heads and cheer htm as he

Ho licked the sneaky Spaniard till tho fol
low cut nnd rrn,
Tor lighting's part of what a Yankee
knows.
Ho fought -cm and ho licked 'em, and he
didn't give n d
(It was onlv his piofesslon for to wln,
He sank their boits beneath 'em, and ho
spared 'em as thej swam,
And then ho sent his ambulances In.
Ho had no word to cheer him and ho had
no bands to play,
Ho had no crowds to mako his duty
biavo;
But he risked the de p torpedoes at the
breaking of the day.
For ho ki evv he had our self-respect to
save.
Ho flew the angry slgral crjlng Justtco
for tho Maine,
Ho flew It from his flag-ship as he
fought.
He diovo our tardy vengeance In tho very
teeth of Spain,
And ho did It Just because he thought
ho ought.
He busted up their batteries and sank
eleven ships
(Ho knew what he was doing every bit);
Ho set the Maxims going like a hundied
cracking whips,
And every shot that crackled was a hit.
Ho broke 'em and he drove 'em, and he
didn't care at nil,
Ho only liked to do ns ho wns bid,
Ho crumpled up their squadron and their
batteries and nil,
He know he had to lick 'em, and he did,
And when tho thing was finished and they
Hew tho trlghtened (lag,
Ho slung his guns and sent his foot
ashore,
And he gathered In their wounded, and
he nnlto forgot to brag.

that Dewey had undergone a very ser

a correspondent of tho Ulrmlnghain

It:
"I dare sny tho citizens of the United
States generally are not aware how
very near they came to losing Ad
miral Dewey early in 1SSJ. and that the
fact of his still being alive Is, humanly
bpeaklng, largely duo to the clever sur
gery of Inspector General of Hospitals
J. N. Dick, R. N. (lato medical dliec
tor general of the navy), and Dm.
Fitzgerald and Yoe, R. N., surgeons
ot Malta Naval hospital at that time.
In Fcbruurj-, 1863, I was a patient
there, another was Admit nl Dewey,
then In command of the United States
coivette Juniata. He suffered from
abscess of the liver In a, very com
plex form, and was not expected to
survive an operation to which ho had
to submit. The arn we heard was
that, when about to undergo it, the
last vvotds he murmured before he
became quite under the Influence of
tho anaesthetic were: 'I've made up
my mind, and I won't die.' and he
didn't, to tho general astonishment
After ho became convalescent I used
sometimes to push him nbout the hos

one occasion I lemember his saying to
mo ("apropos of the operation). 'You
know,I've got a wife and children de
pending on me at home, and I couldn

SPAIN'S FIGHTING .MEN.
rrom tho Chicago Record
The army of Spain Is divided Into
these classes: A permanent army of
9,315 olllcers and 70,829 men, an active
reserve of 183,972 men. and a second or
sedentaiy reserve, which on Jan. 1,
1S9S, was estimated at l,0i3,59j men.
All Spaniards between the ages of
19 and 45 are numbered In the second
reserve, and are liable to be called upon
for active seivlce at anv time they
may be needed. All of them are sup
posed to have served at least tlneo

which corresponds to our nillltla.
