It appears to tie taken for granted that
as there is no probability that the Legis
lature will pass a Congressional appor
tionment bill that will be approved by
the Governor, therefore it is a useless
wasteoftimetoatteir.pt the task. We
think this is a mistaken view of the mat
ter. It is the duty of the Legislature, in
compliance ith law, to jrfect and pa
such a bill. Make it as nearly equitable
in a party point of view as the clashing
intert sts of localities will permit, and 1-t
the Governor take the responsibility of
vetoing it. It is now late in the session

in Lich be says :
It has be-come apparent after two months
fiju-riefice that the rules heretofore pro
mulgated, regulating interviews with the
Piesiilfiit, have wholly failed in their opera
tion. The time which, under those rules
was set a;rt for the reception of Senators
and 1I pn-M titatives, has been almost entire
ly sja-iit in listening to applications for
cilice whi.:h have been bewildering ia vol
ume, perplexing and exhausting in their
iteration and impossible of remembrance.
A due regard for pjbiic duty, which must
be neglected if present conditions continue,
and au obst-rvance of the limitations placed
upon human endurance oblige me todecline
from and after this date ail personal inter
view with those seeking appointment to of
fice except as I, of my own notion, may
especially invite them. The same consider
ations make it imiossib!e for me to receive
those who nareiy desire to pay their re
spects, except on the days and during the
Uouis ei.c;a!Iy designated for that pur-p-e.
I earnestly request Senators and ll-pre-s

Cer:yie Harris was a man of refinement ar.d

Hurv.ou and the electricians were nervous
over their victim.
Harris walked to his death with perfect
iudilJerence. He entered the death cham

Newt From the State Capitol.
A joint resolution was adopted by the
House providing for the submission to the
people of an amendment to the Constitution
giving women the right to vote-
Tbe biH amending the high license law
and dec'aring to at owners of stock in brew
ing or distilling companies shall not pre
vent a person from obtaining retail license,
was defeated.
The Governor notified the Senate of his
approval of the biil authorizing bondsmen
from any part of the c unity to execute a
bond and tiling the amount thereof in casta
of liquor licenses.
A bli! has passed see-Mid reading in the
House providing for a tax of ten mills on
the gross earnings of Saving Banks having
no capital stock. The biil exempting all
cattle from taxation was amended so as to
also exempt horses and mules, and then
passed second reading.
For the first time this session the Senate
has overridden the Governornor's veto and
passed the bill providing for an increased
edition of Smtill's Legislative Hand Book.
It increases the number from AV.'UOto
and adds $ Vi to the compensation of the
Compiler. Three Democrats Markley, Lau
bach, and Ilenuicper voted with the Re
publicans. Friday the Governor advised the members
of the House that he had vetoed the joint
resolution providing for the appointment of
a committee to investigate the charges pre
ferred by W. I Peart, Ksq., against the au
thorities of the Warren Insane Asylum. The
Governor stated in bis message that the
members of a former committee bad deter
mine.! that the charges were groundless.
Governor Pattison has approved the bill
detaching Lawrence from Putler county and
making it a seiarate judicial district. The
act terminates the judicial relations of Lawrence-
and Ilutler counties, which have been
maintained for more than a quarter of a cen
tury. The union now about t be severed
was never, in a political sense, a happy one.
and this fait ltd both counties to unite in
asking for a divorce.
The bill providing for tbe publication of
the history of the birds and mammals of
Pennsylvania in thetjuarterly report of tbe
State !!ard of Agriculture passed the Senate
liiial'v to day and tas trone to the Governor

publication of 2i."J0 copies, Ili.OuO being for
ti:e of members of the House, ,!) for Sen
ators. 4 ooo for the State Hoard of Agricul
ture and twenty for tbe State Library.
The Senate recalled from the Governor the
biil increasing the salary of the Superinten
dent id Public IusJrue tion. Tbe bill has not
passed the House and was sent to the Exec
utive by mistake. A House bill raising the
same cllit ial s salary from ijO to tlOUO,
and also making other salary increases, has
passed second reading in the House. I be
l-;ief prevails that Dr. Scbaefler will not ac
cept the Superintendency until assured that
the salary will be raised.
The Senate committee of finance decided
to report favorably Senator McCarre-U's bill
to require the state, instead of tbe counties,
to o.y court jurors. The State Tieasurer es

the public treasury would be relieved annu

but it is supposed to be considerably over
$J"00.
The robbers w ho are uieruars of tbe

IOO Years of Freedom.
Sunday, " ay P.b, was a great day among
the members of the Rsformei churches in
this country, it being the centennial cele
bration of the declaration of independence
of the Reformed church from the mother
fhurc.! in Holland. The declaration of
i:ide(wu!enee was passed a! a meeting of
Synod held in Lancaster on April 27, 1703.
Thirteen ministers then citnstiiuted the body,
although there were twenty two in the
e-ouatry at the time. I'p to that time the
church was governed by the so-called
"Cueitis." whit b had been orranii:ed in tbe
old Pace Stre.-t church, Pniiadelpbia, in
K17.
At the iiieetins in Iineaster ir. 173U tbe

startling statement in regard to ibe terrible
butchery of women here last spring, that
will probably s-vure him a pardon or a
commutation of sentence to life imprison

that since 1STS James P.rown . John Carlisle
and Iheir fre-nds had killed 2tS men in or

murder case-s. In 1S7S James Brown killed
a stable man, John Carlisle was induced to
kill another man, earned Sparks, and Thom
as Shannon, their latest victim, was an eye
witness to both murders.
There were many other eye w itnesses,
nd Brown and Carlisle being wealthy, start
ed to kill evidence against tfaem, and Lnt
treil s con frs slop is ba: a glimpse of the aw
ful reality of the: unparalleled aeries of
crimes thai cost 2H men their lives and the
perpetrators millions of dollars. Luttrell

wns strong among those who had watched
tbe case that tbe executive would at least
grant the prisoner a new trial. Tbe news of
his final decision came as a crushing blow
to Harris and his friends.
While rurumae ing through a lot of boxes
Thursday afternoon, tbe employes of Wit
ner's drug store at Allentown, Pa, came up
on a nest of mice which proved to be a valu
able find. Tbe nest, which was neatly ar
ranged, contained, among ether things, one
$10 bill, two fives and five ones. All the
bills were in ood condition, except tbe one
five-, which bad tbe corner eaten off. How
tbe mice came in possession of their bidden
treasure is a mystery, as tbe proprietor nev
er missed any money.
Central and Southern Ohio is the scene of
widespread and disastrous Hoods. At Lew-
istown, 22 mile's South of Lima, tbe great
dam holding hack a reset voir of 17.000 acres
burst at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning and
the rushing waters Hooded hundreds of farms
in tbe Miami valley. Tbe damage will be
tens ef thousands of dollars. Almost by a
miracle no lives were lost, although tbe
proximity of several towns and cities was
Untight sure to mean the drowning of scores
of people. The reservoir was tbe second
largest body of artificial water in tbe world.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company lies
concluded to grant to passengers holding
world's fair excursion tickets of the pink
variety the privileee of stopping offin each
direction, in order to have lljis done tbe
pei so ii wb-:n buying Use ticket must tell tbe
agent tbe name of the station or stations
they wish to stop at. The agent will then
write plainly the name of the staliou on the
back of tbe ticket, which is for the infor
mation of the conductor. Without this in
dorsement they will be treated as continuous
train tickets.
John Hamper, 12 years of age, of Brook
lyn, is the champion thief. A short time
ago bis father died. Tben, it is alleged,
while the body was still warm tbe boy took
o.Thia dead father's ercoat, along with the
dead man's shoes, and went to a pawn shoe.
Here be pledged the things for a lew cents
and bought cigarettes. When be got home
bis father's body had been put on ice. It is
added that the boy stole tbe balance of the
clothes his father wore before his death and
pawned them, too. Afterward be tried to
take away tbe pall that covered the colon.
Two boys, presumably tramps, took pos
srs&ion of a locomotive in the Altoona rail
road yards Sunday night and started west
on the Pennsylvania Railroad. They ran
through a couple of switches and got on the
track of tbe eastern bound trains. When
they were near McGarvey s station they col
lided with a locomotive going easL Engi
neer Burbank was on the eastern found
I engine and he and a brakemm were some
what injured. One of the boys was hurt and
tbe other one could not bi found. Wnen
tbe boy was asked what be and his compan
ion bad intended to do with the locomotive,
he replied tbat "we were going to Chicago to
the World's Fair."
Biras of Passage
Between tbia and the other side of tbe broad
Atlantic, in the shape of tourists, commer
cial travelers and manners, agents "on tbe
road." steamboat captains, ship's surgeons
and "all sorts and conditions'' of travelers,
emigrant and new settlers appreciate and
te-stily to the preventive and remedial prop
erties of Hosletter't Stomach bitters in sea
sickness, nausea, malarial and rheumatic
trouble, and all disorders of tbe stomach,
liver aud bowels. Against the prejudicial
influences of climate, crudely cooked or un
accustomed diet and impure water, it is a
sovereign safeguard, and has been so regarded
by tbe traveling public for over a third of a
century. No form of malarial fever, from
thecalenturaoflbe Pacific and the broken
bone fever of tbe Mississippi, to iu milder
types, can resist the curative action of tbis
benignant preserver and restorer of health, a
veritaale boon lo persona in feeble health or
liable lo incur diaemse.
