Ira public del it i a public blessing,
then this country is doubly blessed in
the present National Administration.
Tiik ninft important question facing
the IU-pablicans of Kentucky and
Maryland, is how to get their votes
counted.
YkI.L, V. StoTT Ml X.I.IX has re
ceived his reward. He voted for the
Combine in the late State Convention
and has Ihvii ajioiiited a deputy facto
ry inspector.
It is a potent fact to every one that.
to avoid a further increase of the pul-
li- ticlit bv issuiiiL' a new Wtch of
BoikIs, the National Administration
must increase its revenues or reduce its
expenses.
At the J. A. 1L IwrU-cue in old
Kentucky, thev slaughtered lOo blue-
grass steers, laiulM, and fat
hoats. It took 7,000 gallons of burgoo
soup and any amount of other things
to till the multitude.
The "Cuckoos'' are saying that they
see no reasons why President Cleve-
lanl should not have a third term.
Evidently this is a feeler put out to as
certain iK'inocratie sentiment. Now
listen for the refrain of 't; rover, ro
ver, four vears more fortJrover."'

Kvihexti.V this year ioIiticuIcn!u-

very n'i'u one. It is now within six
weeks of the election and there is not
yet a ripple on the unusually -alm siir-

The coming election is important lx--ause
of its U-aring on the great lialtle

The Judges f the Philadelphia
courts propose to enhance their dignity
and the d--orum of the WhIics ovt-r
which they preside, by wearing gowns
while oh the bench.
A the Judges of the Supreme Court
of the I'nilcd States, and of the Su
preme Court of the Slate now wear
their gow ns, there is uo reason why,
except as a matter of taJc, the Com
mon Picas Judges should not adopt the
custom. Anything that will add to
the dignity aud decorum of our court
is certainly c ommendable. The cus
tom of Judges wearing gowns is a
wry ancient one, but has for many
vears fallen into disuse in this country.
Ir may not 1 generally known, but
the legislature of Pennsylvania at its
last ciou passed a law giving to
typtvritiiig a legal status in the State.
This law declares that all tyj-ew riling
heretofore executed or done, aud which
may !e hereafter executed or done, for
any purpose whatever, shall haw the
tme legal force and effect as ordinary
writing, and the word "writing' oc
curring in our laws shall be held to in
vlude. typewriting. For instance, our
statutes provide that all wills shall he
iu writing. The question as to wheth
er a typewritten will is a statutory
will, and all other possible coutrovir
ics of this nature, are avoided by this
legislation.

The owning of the political cam
paign has caused considerable specula-
ion as to whether the recent act of as
sembly, increasing the pay of election
officers, would be in effect this fall.
The act was passed in February, after
the spring election, and consequently
no matter when it leenme or is to be
come operative it cannot effect election
(ffieers elected last spring to serve at
the November and February elections
to come.
The constitution provides that the
pav or emoluments i tiecine tii-vii-
cannot lie increased or diminished dur
ing the term of office. Thus it will !

judge, elected last February, will W al

CHICKAMAIIGA PARK.

Chattixoooa, Sept. 19. One of the
.loodiest Battlefields the world ever saw
was formally dedicated here to-day as a
pleasure park for the edification and en-
oyineut of the American people lor an

tlefield of C'hickainauga, whose Beautiful
ravines and mountainside were stream
ing with nearly thirty thousand dead and

The dedication was conducted By men
who, thirty-two year ng", fought in that
fill strife; men w ho at that timesought
each others lives: sought to increase the
iloooVhed, if necessry, to w In the fight.
Two generals, w ith silver-grey hair, who
headed thousands of men in the affray on
iposile sides, made the principal speech
es at the dedication.
They were General John M. Palmer
and John IS. Unrdon. It isdouUful if the
world ever before saw another such s-ene
as was that at Chickamauga to-day. Cer
tainly there never w as one more impress-
ve, and at the same time more joyfully
affecting. It was witnessed By not less
than fifty thousand people of the North

and the sentiments of the thousands of

A Great Exposition.
The great International Cotton States
exposition waa oiened on Wedneslny
under the most auspicious circum
stances. With the aceompanient of mil
itary pomp and civic dignity the great
exposition was formally opened to tho
world.
The parade was a brilliant one and
was composed entirely of military bodies
and bands of music, headed by the
Cnited States Fifth Infantry and the
Washington Artillery of New Orleans,
followed by several regiinenta of Georgia
state troops.
The parade moved promptly from the
starting point, at the centre of the city,
at the intersection of Broad and Marietta
streets, and was about an hour in tra
versing the distance of three miles to the
Exposition grounds, reaehingthere about
l.HJ o'clock.
The exercise at the anditorium were
mposing and impressive. The Audi
torium, though crowded, was compara
tively cool, and the acoustic properties
were almost perfect, so that tho speak
ers could be distinctly heard in all parts
of the building. President Collier receiv
ed a great ovation when he arose to speak.
as did Mrs. Joseph Thompson, president
of the woman's hoard.
The speeches were all god, and the
oration by Judge Emory Speer, of the
I'nitcd States court, was a profound
utterance. The hit of the day was made
by Booker T. Washington, the represen
tative of the negro race, who, in a 20
minutes' sjieech, evoked greater ap
plause than all the others put together.
He deemed to havetheearof the audience.
and pleased lioth whites and blacks. His
speech is considered an augury of the
future friendship of the races.
A dispatch from Gray Gables states
that the President was notified that the
pressing of the button would not take
place until 5 o'clock p. m. He afterward
was informed the hour would leGo'clx-k.
The affair actually took place at fl:"i6. II is

Killed a Huge Panther.
P.KM.KFONTP, Pa., Sept. 21. A huge
panther, the first ono killed in Penn
sylvania for many years, and one of the
largest ever seen ia the Allegheny Moun
tains was shot near here to-day. A Isiy
telegraph operator, Charles 11. Watson,
at Clarem-e station, is the heroic young
hunter who brought down this royal
game. It was a dangerous encounter, as
the panther is the most formidable and
ferocious beast that inhabits the forests
of North America.
Young Watson is only IS years old and
left the telegraph station at Clarence, on
the Beech Creek Kail road, ten miles north
of here, to-day. It is located in one of the
wildest sjiots of the Allegheny Mountains.
Between trains the young man went into
the woods to hunt squirrels'. He took
With him a small dog and a double-barrel
breech-loading shotgun. When almul a
mile from the station the dog set up a
tremendous liarking in a nearby thicket
and Watson went o shoot the squirrel he
sjpjiostsl had been treed. He was not
prepared for the sight he met on reaching
the spot. There on the ground, not a
hundred feet distant, crouched a huge
panther, purring like a cat and lashing
S:s tail in fury at the dog. On the Is.y's
approach the animal turned its attention
to him.
Watson has often aeen dangerous wild
animals in menageries but this was quite
a different meeting. However, though
frightened till he trembled, he did not
lose his nerve or presence of mind.
Hastily taking from his gun tho squirrel
shot cartridge, he slipped in one of buck
shot, aud, dropping on one knee, look
steady aim. He fired Just as the ani
mal was in the act of springing toward
him. One of the shots entered the
panther's eye, penetrated the brain and
killed him dead.
When measure. I the panther proved to
lie thirteen feet long and weighed nearly
HM isiunds. It was the finest specimen
of this animal ever seen or heard of in
these parts, aud it was the first and,
it is claimed, the only panther killed in
tbe Alleghenies in twenty years.
For a numlier cf years past farmers
near the mountain have Been greatly
troubled in having stock .carried away,
and now it is supposed this was the
beast that committed the depredations
and was always too wild to lie taught.
The body has already lieen sent to a
taxidermist to be prepared and stuffed.

Zola, tho little four-year-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Burkett, of
Grant Township, Indiana County, who
drank concent rated lye several months
ago, is suffering greatly, and the attend
ing physicians have now given up all
hopes of her recovery. Sho was treated
at the West Penn Hospital, Pittsburg,
but without any improvement. The
child's throat and stomach are so Imdly
eaten by the strong acid that she is uu
alile to eat anything and for weeks has
been nourished on milk alone. For three
davs hist week not even water could be
forced into her mouth. The child is
literally burning up and slow ly starving
to death.
This narrative, which we clip from tho

Hull, who lives along the side of Pine
Knob, almve Cniontown, killed a monster
rattle-snake Saturday, which had thirteen
rattles on it. The reptile had Just fin
ished a meal of fresh squirrel, having
swallowed a gray and a red squirrel
whole. Hull watihi-d the snake four
hours and saw it tree the squirrels in a
small tree. As soon as it got them up
the tree it lr-gan to charm them. The
frightened squirrels made a hideous noise
as the reptile closed In on them, but they
at last submitted and were devoured. Iu
order to satisfy himself Hull cut the
snake open ami found Both squirrels in
its stomach.
David M. Copelin, of iKx-.itur town
ship, Centre county, recently had his
house completely rodded with the very
latest improved lightning arrestors, with
shining tips on them that looked like
clei-trie lights. During the progress of
severe storm last Thursday a streak of
lightning came along and smashed a hole
iu the roof of his house ami played
havoc with things generally, and what
aggravates the captain is that It never
touched a blamed rod. Thjs incident
expresses a truth every Tribune reader
should know and act upon. I'nless
lightning rods lie properly put up they
are a source of constant danger to the
home and all its inmates. And the most
of them are not properly put up.
