The story was fa'.! of gunpow ,rt and blood, but they did no killing ouleide of the author's sanguinary mind. Cos..f.r-as Catciiisus, of Misriar.p pi, has a bill to piy all war claims, and Judge O'Neil says this would far exceed the war debt. Hut this will net dis courage the South.

Tiikke are 1,2S applications for space from Pennsylvania who want to exhibit at the World's Fair, and the Chicago au thorities are so slow in their movements that many of our people are becoming discouraged. There ought to be a live hustling cit:7.en like Commissioner Far pihar at the head of affairs in Chicago, fien there would be daylight seen onca in a while. Pennsylvania leads every other State in the World's Fair work, and her exhibit will be a remarkable one. Ameeicas wmnfD have scored another signal victory in being allowed all the advantages, heretoforeenjiyel only by men, in the me lical school or hospital at the Johns Hopkins University. The demand was made years ago and the trustees finally yielded, provided $193, OjO in c ish was presented to the institu tion. Through the direct gift of $:;00,0n0 of a noble w oman, Miss Mary F-. Barrett, and other generous donors the entire amount has been raise.L It is only a question of time when the doors of eve ry university will have to be thrown open to women on the same terms as to men. While tbe year of IS'JL' was one of un precedented prosiierity in the United States, Harold Frederick, London corre spondent of the New York Tune, says it w as one of great hardship in I'ngiand, w here investors lost more than f'StiO.OOO,- in an I $t00.W,OW inlS'.U. Tu- are good iigures for the Democrats to study before repeal'ng tLe MeKinley tariff law if they want to legislate for thiscountry, and not for England and alt the ou'.si le world. That law give this country unexampled prosperity, and the free traders have had to admit it in looking at the record of the year. The campaign is over, and they must look the facts in the face now and shoulder the responsibility lor keeping tbem where they are or changing them for the wone. You can not eat your cake and have it, is a good maxim f r the Demo crats at this time. Says the New York Pr,t : " At the dinner of the Business Men's Democratic Association, Siturday night, liepresf nta tive Boeckinri ige declared that "the great qaes'ion which the Democratic party has staked itself to answer is the readjustment of the tariff, the establish ment of a s ua i currency on a stable ba h'.s and the revision of the enormous pen sion roils." The remarkable interest whi.-'j Southern Congressmen, many of w hom ferved in the rebel aimy, tike iu tbe question of "purg:ng" the pension list is not unnatural, but the petson who imagines that Union veterans wi'l re ceive fair and equitable treatment at the hands f the men they fought is a fit candidnte for admission to a lunatic asy lum. The Pi-.-n bs no di.-position to open old wounds, but when a represen tative if the late Confcdt rary talks to the North about revising the "pension rolls," he is exhibiting a degree of insolence hat deserves sharp condemnation." The Couderfport Juurnol says there are now pending in Potter county and two northern tiercocnties of tie State, fort y six divorce cases in different stages of lit igation. Out or the twenty-two decrees of divorce granted by the courts of Pcnn syh aiia last month, twenty were to prople who cam from New York State especially for divorces. The strict mar riage la w s of Pen nsy 1 van ia een d h un J -reds of couples over the New Yotk boun daries to get married, and to even things up the strict laws of New York State send hundreds of couples to Pennsylva nia to get unmarried. It is to pieven this sort of thing that the commission has been created to provide nniform leg-i islat ion between all the State of the Union. The marriage and divorce laws of tuny Slates conflict, and there is al ways more or lees trouble. Make them uniform and the counties along tr.e nor thern border of Pennsylvania will no longer be burdended w ith divorce suits in w hich the parties are not citizens, but wbo have come over here to take advan tage of our lax divorce laws. Iltrriilurg Tcleproph. . i I Amnesty to Mormons. Frota Uic Chicago Io:r ocean. The full amnesty and pardon of Presi dent Harrison to all persons liable to the penalties of the anti-polygamy law ends an interesting chapter in the kistory of this country, and ends it in a "Banner to ssg?et that the time is not far distant when Utah may with safety be admitted to the Union with all the powers of a State. The struggle has been long one, with incidents of bloodshed and terror, to show how a people blinded by religious prejudice could add crime to their religious observance and believe the y were serving a divine purpose. The dramatic scenes ia the "Dacitea wre not overdrawn. Murder became almost a part of the Mormon creed in their war fire against ibe lawa of the country. The leadership of Erigbam Yoong was eo su preme in the cbnrch that his will was accepted as a revelation from Clod. But the force of law and public opin ion, the closer communion with the out side world and education has produced a generation of Mormons who can not be persuaded even by revelation to make themselves outcasts. The firm stand of tLe Government against nnlawful mar riage, has produced its effuct, and the Mormon church two years ago issued a manifesto proclaiming its purpose to no longer sanction plural marriages. The officials of the church pledged t-e mem bership thereof to f-iitLfal obedience of laws, and the Utah commission recom mended amnesty for pist offenses. Many wbo are not Mormons in Utah united in a petition for this amnesty. President Harrison's proclamation grants full amnesty and pardon to all persons liable to the penalties of tbe law by reason of unlawful cohabitation un der the color of polygamous or plural marriages, w ho have since Nov. 1, 1S."I, obeyed the law, but upon the express condition that they shall in future fully obey the laws of the United States. With thisending of the chapter Utah may in future writeanotherehowingof the perse verance and prosperity of a people w ho conquered the desert and made U blos som like a flower garden, held to a faith ith the fidelity of martyrs, but without that determination to ignore the laws of their country end the laws of morality by claiming this as a religions tenet. When the Latter Iay Saints show something of the same loyalty to their country and its laws that they have 6hown to their church, Utah will beadmittedas a State. Cut they must for a time be nnder pro bation before they csn be admitted to fall fellowship in the Union. TheCootey Reward. Taytnent of rewards to the ofik-ers who captured the survivors of the Couley gang, the outlaws who terrified the farming com munity of Fayette county for several years, has began. TLe Geors township School board met Sa'.ur.iay and heard evidence regarding tbe various claims for the rewaid of t-'iou ofo-red by the Board for Frank Cooloy s capture, and the claimants were Sheriff McCormick, W.A Smith, Bert John son, and W.

Henry Bacon (Dem., New York), chairman of the bouse committee on coinage, ma-see an argument against the re peal of State bank tax, and show how the issue of State bank currency would be un safe. The defenders of state bank currency desire it because of its elacticity. Mr. Ba con shows that if this currency be sound it will ruh to tbe Gnancia! centers exactly a our present currency does, and that it will stay in the neighborhood of the banks of is sue only if it beao discredited that it will not make ill way to tbe great 6nancial cen ten. Elasticity, therefore, can be got onlr tf it be beloa par. He makes the further practical point that, if the currency be is- sueJ understate laws, there will be tbe greatest imiginsble diversity, because tbe state laws are in no way uniform, and ma ny of them as they exist to-day would per mit the wildest kind of wildcat issues. This argument is made the more important be-! cause Ihe movement to repeal tbe stale bank tat is lately a Democrauc move ment, and Mr. Bacon b a Democrat and chairman of the preseut committee that has I the matter is charge ia the House Blaine Near to Death. HIS VITALITY SAPPED. JAVES fi Pti V? Was HiscTON D. C, January 8. 1S3. Mr. Blainehada bad iurn 8aturday nght and two serious sinking spells early yesterday rooming like that of Sunday three weeks ago, and once more be went down to the gatrt of death. He was revived by heroic remedies, but all through tbe bleak day he was j'ist alive and that was ai'. Tbe news of his critical condition spread rapidly and brougbt throngs of callers to the old Red House. It was early understood that, weak and emaciated, be was barely kpt a'ive by powerful medicines, and that bis physicians did not expect him to live much longer. Even Mr. Biaine' family ad mitted that the end seemed in sight In tbe afternoon he was somewhat re covered from his relapse, and during the evening was sleeping quieily. Bat, despite the pain, it was the manifest fear of his frier.d that death was only a few hours away. WASHrsuToa, Jan. 10 Mr. Blains'i phy sician autuoriz.-s the following : Mr. Biaine passed a comfortable day until 8 o'lock this evening, wheu he became not so well, and ail a. x. be is still losing strength. Several times during the djy Mr. Blaine niade an effort to converse with those at his bedside, but the doctors have forbidden any one to talk to him or permit him to talk He is so weak that the slightest exertion may bring on another sinking spell, and in bis present condition it seems almost im pov;b'ie fjr him to sink much lower and live. Huried to Ms Death. IlAZLrros. January 5 A frightful acci dent occurrtd on Mdl Mountain last night by which Dr. William Snyder, Jr., of Nesco- petk, was thrown over a fifty-foot precipice and killed. Dr. Snyder left bis home Jt terday afternoon for Hughesville iu answer to a sii k call. When be reached the sum nut of the mountain be discovered that tbe descent was very dangerous, owing to the icy condition of tbe pass. He resolved to continue his journey, however, and started down the mountain. He had not proceeded far when his horse began to slip aid eventually started off at gallop, which the dixtor could not control. Just as they were passing the most danger ous point the vehicle lurched suddenly to one side and the doctor was thrown out and over an embankment. A MCsSAGE TO BIS FATHEE. Ia the meantime tbe horse continued on bis mad run down the mountain. As be reached Hughesville only fragments of the vehicle were attached to the harness. Tbe horse was reeo;r.!z?d as that of Dr. Snyder, and as its owner did not put in an appear ance the people of Hughesville started out to find him. When discovered it was ascertained that all of his ribs had been broken and bis face. head and limbs were terribly battered. His body was one mass of contusions. He re vived sufficiently to dictate tbe following telegram to his father: "If I die before you reach me hold tbe township responsi ble for my death." He died shortly after. The road at that point is not protected by railing. Friedens Items. 12 degrees below a?ro is the lowest tbe mercury has registered at this place the present winter.

It seems that polygamy is about dead in tah. President Harrison ha issued a proclamation granting full amnesty to all members of the Mormon church who have, sinoe November 1, 1SGI, abstained from all polygamous practices, and npon the express condition that they shall in tbe future faith fully obey Ihe lawsof the United States. M. T. Miller, late teacher of the public school in Lancaster township, Lancaster county, has brought suit against the Board of Directors to recover $5,0v0 damages for alleged wrongful dismissal from bis position as teacher. Charges of incompetency and failure to properly attend to the moral training of the children were brought against him. Week before last some gunners of Harris- burg, in bunting for gime north of Liogles town, noticed several wild turkeys Hying about, but one remained and was struggling aa they thought, being entangled in the bushes, says tbe Hammelstown Sun. One of tbe men shot at the turkey, and npon In vestigation tbey found that a large black snake bad swallowed the turkey's leg and was trying to tear it from the fowl's body. At 2 o'clock Thursday morning the Alle gheny county, Md., court house was destroy ed by fire. The flames started in tbe grand jury room, ana by the lime assistance ar rived bad made such headway as to render futile ad efforts to save the building. A greater part of the records were saved and it ia not believed that tbe loss in this respect will be great or irreparable. Tbe building cost $30,000 ; insured for $.O.00O. Recent calculations of the rye crops of Berks county have placed that county at the bead of the list in Pennsylvania. Tbe cen sus report of IS90 shows the yield for that year as nearly $1"0,CM0 bushels, compared itb 250.Oi.i0 bushels in Ltneasler and 223,- 000 bushels in Lehigh. The comparatively high prices have rendered this cereal more profitable tban wheat, aud tbe result bas been an increased production. The bulk of the crop is consumed by distant dis tilleries aud flouring mills. Clay Hopper, age 17, who has been ill with dropsy of tbe heart for several months at Toledo, Ohio, was supposed by his family and physician to have died, and his faneral was set for last Fnday. hen all was in readiness the corpse showed signs of life and the funeral was thereupon declared off. The boy baa remained ia a comatose condition since that time, and although tbe body is warm there ia no other signs of life. The physicians are puzzled over this strange case. Attorney Charle." Nolan, of St. Louis, rais ed an interesting point bef re the supreme court Friday. He is attorney for Samuel Welaer, convicted some time ago in the St Louis criminal court of murder in tbe first degree. In his argument attorney Nolan said the death sentence slioald be set aside and a new trial ordered on tbe ground that one of the jurors was asleep while the de fense was giving its most important testimo ny. The supreme court has the nutter on der advisement. There never has been a case in tbe city of Detroit that exemplified more clearly tbe danger of convicting a man upon circum stantial evidence than that of George Boz z?nberger, who was found guilty about six weeks ago by a jury in tbe Recorder's court of murder in tbe first degree for the killing of Wm. Knack. Affidavits in support of a new trial were filed Thursday by the attor ney for tbe defendant, from which it ap pears that Bozzenberger is innocent and that Olto Scbulthers is guilty. Young Scbul- thers, who is a nephew of Bozzenberger, con fessed to having committed the murder for which his uncle is now -serving a life sen fence. Bozzenberger will probably be re leased. Mrs. Dennis Coyle's sister-in-law went to 8l Joeeph, Mo., a week ago to visit her brother. Tbe other day she took Croyle's two yonnji children and started, ostensibly, to a Catholic church to have them baptized. Since then she has not been seen or beard from. Friday, Coyle, becoming alarmed over tbe prolonged absence ol his sister and children, started out to search for them. He, too, bas failed to return, and all traces of him have been lost. Now Mrs. Coyle will take a turn in seeking the lost ones. Philadelphia maintains her reputation of being the city of homes. During the five years ending December 31, lyi, there were erected there 21173 more new buildings than in New York, and 5162 more than in New York, Boston and Baltimore combined. This great lead was due in large part to the custom in Philadelphia of building small bouses for one family rather tban huge structures or "flat" tenements. When we observe tbe cost of new buidlings the story is a different one. The average cost of those erected last year in Philadelphia was $3,333, M, in Boston 67, and in New York $17,509 5H. A bill will be introduced at the present session of the Legislature which makes these changes of dates in tbe game laws of tbe State . The season for woodcock, w hich be gins by the preient law July 4 and ends January 2, is changed to begin September 1 and end January 1 ; tbe sea -ton for squirrel, which begins now September 1 and ends January 1, is changed to begin October 1 and end January 1 ; the season for ruttt--d grouse, commonly called pheasants, which now begins October land ends January 1 is changed to begin November 1 and end January 1.

The Blue Laws Sustained. Philadelphia, Jan. 3. Tbe Supreme Court this morning handed down a decision confirming tbe legality of the old blue lai of 1794 as applied to tbe publication of Sua day newspapers. Tbe case was that of Thomas Matthews, publisher of the Pitts burg SnnHjif LeaiUr. He was convicted of publishing and issuing bis paper on Sun day, December 27, 1S91. Tbe Supreme Court, in affirming tbe dc cision of tbe lower court, gives as its opin ion that the law npon this subject is plain and it could do nothing but interpret it as it did and confi rm Mr. Matthew's convic tion. Tbe Court says that the framers of tbe act could not foresee tbe growth of newspapers, or tbey would possibly have exempted them from the provisions of the act. Tbe Court commends tbe act, butsajs that a too liberal enforcement of its prov.s ions may lead to its repeal, and that it is in more danger from its frieuds tban from its foes. Loo lea Blue fur Mill.

This from a parody in Bruc-'s Address affords a good example of the use of anil It is the only conjunction that expresses an addition simply tbat and nothing more. Tbe mem bers of each pair are so closely connected both in thought and expression that with out slopping to analyze them we may re gard tbem as one. Correct tbe following and change to single sentences by the use of aid . I. The weather has been wet and cold. Friday morning last we had quite a shower of bail. 2.

" Though deep, yet clear ; though gentle. yet not dull ; strong without rage, without overflowing, fulL" Here we have phrases expressing contrast or opposition, each of which may be cbanged to admit the nse of hut. But like and, is a convenient mount for inexperienced writers, sod like it is lia ble to be ridden to deatb. Sometimes it is bard to tell which should be osed, aa this example will show: "The doctors started to work on one side and tbe priests prayed on tbe other, and in eight minutes Dr. Chess- rown pronounced the man dead." Com pare with this : "He had been in a helpless condition for quite s while, snd before the day of bis death he got np himself and walk ed to the window and viewed the surround ing atmosphere." Change the following as above, nsing tut instead of and : 1. The bands have bad a rest during the holidays. Tbey will resume work on next Monday. 2.

Tbey may and will be dearer after while. Let ns now examine items where tbe facts are too numerous to be contained In a sin gle sentence. Here is one for instance that comes in wrong end foremost: "He died without a struggle. Was very cool and col lected on the scaffold. Awoke at 5 o'clock, breakfasted at 9 and walked with a steady mien to bis doom." Changed to two sen tences the second should read: "On tbe scaffold he was cool and collected and died without a struggle." Divide each of tbe fol lowing into two sentences, with the necessa ry corrections : I. Ephraim Pine, of Millvale, X. J., went to New York with three valises to bor row money of Jay Gould. Everybody scar ed to death. Ephraim bat gone home and no one was hurt. 2. Quay does not mean to let it be buried there. If the committee report it.
