And kow tl ote Democralic roosters
are wondering w''y they orowtd last

The greatest eflortever made by
mugwumps to go it alone has nettled
down Into a majority cf 80,000 for a
Tammany Mayor.
Democrats are beginning to admit
that the elections of 1S:7, at! a rote of
censure against Republicans, were em
inently unsatisfactory.
The Republicans Lave made a gain
in the United States Senate by the elec
tions of 1897. and that is vhere their
policies most need votes.
Those New York papers prolably
will keep right on inquiring of Mr.
Croker '-where be got it." It Is appa

where Mi. Tlatt did last Tuesday.

the day every good citizen should cele
brate. Thanksgiving Day affords an
opportunity to everybody to go back
over the year and see how many things
we must be thankful for.
The Democratic pajrf-M that have
been talking of a landslide throughout
the country have suddenly dropped
the subject. Oatside of Tammany's
victory over a divided opposition the
Republicans more than bold theirown
A statement compiled from the of
ficial records of the Government shows
that during Cleveland's last term the
fanr.ers of the country lost more than
a billion dollars a year by decreased
coQsumntion and dit-reased value of
products.
A yi'EEK mixture of politics and re
ligion was exhibited by a church choir
in New York, whose members struck
because the pastor advocated the elec
tion of Seth Low. Is it possible that
the reform cry of the future w ill be to
take the churches out of politics?
Axyri!NU to the law in New York,
which requires t worn statements of ex-
lienaes from political candidates, a ma
jority of those who run for offioe'spend
very little nowadays. Yet, the econo

duced by a remarkable whir'wind of
Iolitieal purity enveloping the town.
Senator Foraker has set at rest all
doubts as to where he stands in the
election of his colleague, Benator Hau
na. to succeed himself. He says: "Ho
long as we were fighting the common
enemy I gave all my time and strength
to the cause. I supposed the election
of a Republican Legislature meant the
election of Senator Hanua, and I still
think ho."
JriKiE J acks-ix, of the U. S. Court,
lias decided that Collectors of Internal
Revenue have no authority to remove
(storekeepers and gauge rs employed in
the Internal Revenue service. This
decision affects 80,000 employes of the
(Government, and if it is sustained by
the Supreme Court will brine cold
comfort to the Republicans who think
that they are able to discharge the du
ties as satisfactorily as the incumbents.
Judge Jackson insists that the appoint
ment of a man to a Federal position
under the civil service law gives him a
right in equity to the place which he is
not forced to surrender save for cause.
Some of the churchmen seem dispoi
ed to make an assault on Santa Claus,
, w ith the idea of driving that person
age out of his Christmas stronghold
according to the Philadelphia Record,
They might as well try to abolish Mo
ees.Why don't the spiritual gadgrinds
tackle some less tough and lusty, less
good and gracious, les delightful and
lovable offender agatL their cold,
hard, matter-of fact philosophy?
Santa Claus is out of their reach.
He is safely intrenched in the unques
tioning faith of childhood. He won't
bude. The iconoclasts had better se
lect some less difficult undertaking. As
long as babies are born into the world
Santa Claus will continue to make bis
Christmas pilgrimages.
As exchange wonders what it would
c4 to buy annuities equal to the pres
ent allowance for all persons now en
joying Uncle Sam's generosity in the
way of pensions. The calculation has
never been made. The annual report
of the Commissioner of Pensions states
the total number of pensioners to be
STfi.OtO, an increase of 5,s: over the
year previous. Seven widows of Revo
lutionary soldiers and nine daughters
of same are still on the rolls. The am
ount of pensions disbursed during the
past fiscal year was nearly $140,000,000.
The average annual value of each pen
won was $133. Pennsylvania has over
one hundred thousand pensioners, re
ceiving some twelve millions of dollars,
but Ohio takes precedence, gettiDg three
millions more.
The opponents of the Hon. Mark A.
Hanna, while admitting that the Re
publicans will have a majority of the
legislature on joint ballot ure still pro
testing that Mr. Hanna can not 1
elected, claiming that four or five Re
publicans who have been elected to the
legislature are pledged to vote against
him in any contingency, and that '.his
faction will be large enough to send to
the Senate Governor Bushnell or some
other Republican instead of the present
incumbent We believe little credit
can be given to these campaign echoes.
Mr. Hanna's election was made one of
the leading issues of the campaign,
' The lines were drawn for and against
him. The Democratic plan f attack
was to fight him personally at all
joints. The fortune of war have fa
vored the Republican cause, and Mr.
Hanna stands to-day as the only Re
publican candidate for Senator in the
Ohio field. A combination of a small
faction with the Democratic minort'y
is out of the question from a
Republi-,
can point of view, and it is doubtful
whether a Buckeye Republican could
be fouud who would accept the office
under such conditions.

Ti Lata Elections.
The political atmosphere has cleared
idnee the lt issue of the IIeralp, and
States that last week were conceded to
the Democrats are found to have re
mained steadfast and to have given
good Republican majorities.
In Ohio Governor Bushncll, Rep.,
has been re-elected by a majority of
28,000, while the Legislature b Repub
lican ou joint la!lot by a majority of
five, insuring the return of Mark Han
na to the United States Senate. The
Democrats have instituted contests in
number of counties, but all admit
that Hanna will succeed himst-lf.
In New York the Republicans have
maintained control of the Legislature
despite the big majority for Parker,
Deui., for Judge of the State Board of
Appeals, .W.OjO. The Tammany vic
tory in New York City is thorough and
complete, Randolph Guggenheiuier,
Tammany candidate for President of
the Council, has a majority of 110,000.
He ran ahead of the ticket, as Van
Wyck, for Mayor, had only W5.000 plu
rality. Elsewhere in this paper will be
found a statement of the patronage at
the disposal of Greater New York's
Mayor.
The Kansas Republicans made unex
pected gains and secured control of sev
eral counties and judicial districts
which have been in the hands of the
fusiorists for the past two years. Bar
ber county, the home of Jerry Simp
son, reversed its vote and gave a big
Republican majority. The county had
hitherto been a Populbt ttr.mghold.
The Republicans elected nine out of
thirteen district judges voted for.
The Free-Silver Democrats carried
Kentucky by a mnjority of li,0U0, and
elected a two-thirds majority of the
Legislature. In view of the result the
Louisville Courier-Journal, Gold-Dem-
crat, announces that it will hereafter
support the regular Democratic nom
inees.
Complete returns from every district
in Maryland show that the Republicans
will have a majority on joint ballot in
the Legislature of not less than seven.
This means that benator (iorman is
beaten, and that Wellington will have
a Repub'ican colleague in the Senate,
the first time in history that both
Senators from Maryland have been
members of the Republican party. In
Baltimore the Republicans elected their
candidate for Mayor and a majority of
the members of city councils.
Iowa continues in Hie Republican
column by a majority of 31,000 for L.
M. Shaw, candidate for Governor. The
remainder of the IU publican ticket has
aUtut the same majority. The Demo
crats made a few gains in the Legisl
ture, but that body is still Republican
by a majority of AH on joint ballot.
The " Pops" seem to have carried
Colorado, electing a Judge of the Su
prerue Court, but the contest is so close
that the exact result will not lie known
until the official count has been made.
Nebraka sticks by the Boy Orator,
and gives a Populist majority of 20,000.
In Massachusetts the Republicans
elected Governor Walcott by a major
ity of 8fi,000, and an overwhelming
majority of the Legislature.
.
The New Jersey Legislature will have
a Republican majority of 21 on joint
ballot. The next Senate will have 14
Republicans to 7 Democrats,
Soi'TH Dakota has returned to the Re
publican ranks, electing six out of eigUt
circuit judges.
Mr. Bryan's Valuable Service.
Pittaburg Chronicle Telegraph.
Mr. Bryru's ability to make votes for
the other side was the occasion of much
comment a year ago. Where he spoke
the Republicans made gains when he was
the Presidential candidate, and the same
result has followed his speec-hmaking in
Ohio. In his tour through the Buckeye
Suite he delivered addresses in 12 coun
ties, with results extremely gratifying to
his op"nAnts.
The Ohio State Journal has taken the
trouble to tabulate the returns from those
counties and to compare the result with
the vote of a year ago. In six of the
counties there was an aggregate gain in
the Democratic pluralities ot l.Q'A, and in
the remaining six counties there was an
aggregate gain in the Republican plural
ties of i,UV, making a net gain for the
Republicans of 597.
If Mr. Bryan's services can increase
Republican pluralities by V.17 in 12 coun
ties of Ohio, in the year after a Presiden
tial election which was supposed to have
brought out the full Republican strength,
an Ohio man being the candidate for
President, Republicans must begin to re
gard him as an efficient ally. It might
have paid the Republicans of New Ycrk
city to have kept M. Bryan talking there
all through the cuupaiga.

Walla Tonka Wu Sot Shot.
Kansas Citv. Mol, Nov. 6. Advices
from Indian Territory slate that'Walla
Tonka, the famous Indian ball player
who mas convicted of the murder .of his
uncle, Sampson Young, a deputy sheriff
of Eagle County, and was to have been
hot al Alikicbi, Wolfe County, to-day,
still lives. Hundreds of while gathered
to witness the execution, which was to
have been a double one, as Wallace Cros
by, another Iadian, was to have shared
Walla Tonka's fate. As they were all
camped around Sulphur Springs a c mi r
rier arrived from Tuslahome, the capital
of Choctaw Nation, w ith a stay of execu
tion pending a motion for a uew trial
which was ordered by th-j Ju:le of the
Supreme Court of the dnetaw Nation.
The condemned weu received the news
witii true Indian stocisin. Walla Tjnka
wan absolutely unmoved, merely saying,
"Maybe me play more ball now," and
thn turning over and going to sleep.
Crosby did noi evea emit a grunt when
he learned that he was to have another
chance for his life.
Walla Tonka waa originally sentenced
to be shot on August 6. A game of Indi
an bal' was arranged in this city last
iumi. ja a means of raising money.
The players wore Choctaws. The game
was to take place on August It, and as
Walla Tonka was one of the best players
in the tribe, his sentence waa postponed
to give him a chance to play in the game.
According to the customs of the Choc
taws, the young Indian wu allowed to
come and go as he pleased, the tribe hav
ing taken his word that he would be on

A Young Woman Was Can Hot Feel Bed
Hot Iron.
New'Yobk, Nov. 7 A young woman
who falls into a hypnotic trauce, if her
eyes encounter the fixed gnze of another,
who has lost the sense ot touch, is insen
sible to pain and cannot tell the difference
between heat and cold, is now the subject
of scientific study on the part of the New
York Academy of Medicine. She is
about twenty years old, of prepossessing
appearance and apparent intelligence.
She lives with her parents in the foreign
part of the Kast Side.
Some eight ytrs ago the young woman.
then a girl of twelve years, had a needle
stuck in the ba.:k of her left hand. The
wound was not a serious ou-, but for four
years refused to heal. A physician un
dertook to heal her by hypnotism, and
the treatment was continued some four
months, the patient being placed in a
semi-hypnotic trancs almost every day
for that period. The treatment consisted
substantially in passing the hand gently
over the affected spot and telling her that
it was healing. The wound was healed.
As a result of having been so frequent
ly placed under the hypnotic influence
the young woman became abnormally
subject to that influenc-3. If any one gaz
ed into her eyes steadfastly she fell into
the hypnotic trance. Sitting in the ele
vated cars she had to strenuously avoid
meeting the eyes of har-avis-vis.
Dr. Mary Putnam Jaoibi, who has
made a special study of this case related
that on one oi-x-asion the young woman
was thrown into a trance by having the
rays of light from the reflector thrown
upon her eyes.
The young woman lost the sense of
touch, the sense of pain and the sense of
heat and cold. Dr. Nauimack stuck
needle into the young woman's eye, into
the back of her band, into her cheeks,
into the inner delicate mucous mem
brane of the nostrils, without any flow of
blood. The young woman related that
more than once in her experience she
had taken hold of hot objects and bad
only known that she had been bnrned
when she saw that the skin was scorched.
She's engaged to be married.
Tiey are Happily Harried.
Wilmisotov, Del., November 7. A
wedding cermony which interested many
people took place in this city last night.
Charles J. Kppler was the groom, and
Miss Mary Ratter, the bride, were to
have been married on Thursday night.
but Kppier did not put in an appearance.

between himself and his prospective

he should wear. Miss Rutter wanted
him to wear a'white tie and patent leath

Healthy Live Stock.
H arrisbcro, Pa, Nov. 5. A meeting
of the live stock sanitaryboard was held
this afternoon at which it was decided to
station at points throughout the state in
spectors to see that no infected cattle are
admitted into the State Arrangements
will be made with United States inspec
tors at different points without Penn'a
whereby they will inspect cattle about
to be shipped into the state and in case of
their being healthy will give certificates
to that effect which will carry the cattle
past the state inspectors. The board also
decided to erect at the veterinary depart
ment of the University of Pennsylvania
a building for experiments in the diseases
of cattle.
It often happens that the doctor is onto'
town when most needed. The two-year-
old daughter of J. Y. Scbenck, of Cvddo,
Ind. Ter., was threatened with croup, he
writes: "My wife insisted that I go for
the doctor at once ; but as he was out of
town, I purchased a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, which relieved the
child immediately." A bottle of thai rem
edy in the house will often save the ex
pense of a doctor's bill, besides the anx
iety always occasioned by serious sick
uess. When it is given as soon as the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent the
attack. Thousands of mothers always
keep it in their homes. The 2 and 50

Countitt Seed Hot Fay.
Judge Stewart, of Franklin coonty, last
week tiled an opinion that affects all
magistrates and constables in the State,
and will materially reduce their income.
Recently Magistrate John A. Seiders,
of Chambersburg, brought suit against
the County Commixsitners to recover fees
in a summary case where the defendant
had gone to jail for cosL. The Commis
sioners, upon advice of the County So
licitor, refused to pay the bill and a case
stated was prepared for au appeal to the
Court.
Judge Stewart in his decision disposing
of the case says it falls within the ruling
of the Supreme Court in Crawford Coun
ty versus liarr, b2 Pennsylvania State
Reports, 309. According to the interpre
tation ot the.law as made by this Court,
in all cases of summary conviction for
drunkenness, disorderly conduct, viola
lations under game laws, trespass and
similar offenses, where the parties are
found guilty and sent to jail for non-pa)
ment of fines and costs, tbt couuty is not
liable for the costx, and the Magistrate
and constables get nothing for their work.
For many years the fees and expenses
in such cases have always been paid in
this couuty, and are still paid in most
counties of the State. Lawyer hold that
the effect of Judge Stewart's decision is
to make inoperative nearly all attempts
to enforce the law in the class of cases
mentioned, as the constables will refuse
to venture the loss of time and expenses
in making such arrest.

.niqae and startling wedd.ng on record.
A handsome young couple were mar
ried in a den of ferocious lions. Four
clergymen were in attendance to g-.iard
against the possible contingency of the
postponement of the ceremony in case
the aniuials devoured one of the rever
end gentlemen. Arthur C. St. Aniras
ey, a well known New York ninsk-ian,
waa the groom, and Miss Charlotte
Wilerg, a beautiful twenty-year-old
Boston girl, was the bride.
Although the spectator were wrought
np to the tightest pitch of excitement
and tho bride and groom were very ner
vous at the deep, menacing roars of the
beasts, which shook the great hall, tbj '
event passed off happily and without ac-
ciJent.
The ceremony was performed by Rev
George Reader, of Ohio. There has beeu
a big sensation in religious circles here
over the wedding, and, as a result. Rev.
Mr. Thurston, who originally contracted
to officiate, btcked out at the last mo
ment, owing to the objections raised by
his brother clergymen. He furnished a
substitute, however, in the person of the
Ohio minister, and was himself on band
iu case Mr. Reader backed ont at the last
minute or was eaten up before he had
tied the knot. It was a most remarkable
spectacle.
At 9 o'clock the wedding procession
entered, beaded by a quartet of giart
lion tamers armed to the teeth. Percy
Cooper's boy choir followed, chanting a
processional. Then came the bride and
groom, attended by two prettly little
pages. The drop of a pin could be heard,
and all held their breath as the clank of
the grated door sounded and the tremb
ling couple entered the cage.
The trainer, with weapons ready.
watched the snarling beasts, Ca-sar and
Cleopatra, as they gazed with yawDiug
jaws upon the fair bride. .
In a few moments it was all safely over,
and the first couple ever married in a
lions' den were pronounced man and
wife.
The couple had been engaged several
months. The manager of the "Zoo" ad
vertised for a couple who would be will
ing to be married with a lion and lioness
to act in the capacity of best man and
bridesmaid. The consideration offered
wan a handsome wedding present and an
elaborate ceremony.

Car Boor to Save Two Lives.
Braver, Pa., Nov. 7. A door from a
freight car will play an important part
in the trial of young Charles Smith and
George Leslie, wl o are in the Beaver Jail
awaiting trial for the murder of Charles
Gower. The murder of Gower occurred
on a train at Fallston. Smith and Leslie
were supposed to have been on the train
with Gower, and were arrested for the
murder. Both stoutly maintained their
innocence, and said the car in which they
had taken passage was switched off at
Beaver Falls, while the car conUinicg
Gower, they said, went on to Fallot .a.
They described the car as having a door
with a hole cut through it and wero able
to give a minute description of the door
and the aperture.
Impressed with the truthfulness of their
story, John Smith, of McKeesport, the
father of one of the accused boys, set out
on a search for the car with the cut door.
He traveled many miles over various rail
roads on the lookout for the car that could
corroborate his son's denial or guilt.
Finally he located it in Chicago. He
found the door cut in precisely the man
ner described by the accused boys, and,
underthe circumstance, he easily prevail
ed on the railroad company owning the
car to let him have the door. He brought
it to his hotii3 in McKeesport, aud will
have it in Court when the trial of the two
boys is called.

This does not include his secretary and
the other immediate employes attached
to the Mayor's office; nor the Supervisor
of the City Record and the clerks and
employes of various boards of which the
Mayor is a member. Neither does the
list include the sealers and inspectors of
weights and measures, the number of
which and their compensation must be
fixed by the Municipal Assembly. Be
sides all these beads of departments there
are a lot of minor places, such as depnty
comniissionerships, which may not be
within the civil service provision of the
Constitution. At any rate, the Tammany
Tigershave no fear that the civil service
laws will interfere much with their get
ting o I Vices. They never did when Tain
many Hall was In power before.
Besides he places mentioned the new
Mayor will have the appointment of a
few city magistrates, whoxe terms will
expire during his incumbency of tho
Mayorality.

"Sever," Said The Woman.
From the I la mil ton lk.-inocr.it.
Sandusky, U., is the home of a woman
who would not show hor limb to a jury
for Jo,tX.
She brought suit against the city for f-"
CM) damages, alleging that she fell on the
sidewalk aud injured one of he: limbs
above and below the knee. She d reused
the injured member herself. She is Miss
Marie Prevrhcha, a professional nurse.
When she was 'placed1 upon the stand on
Thursday:of last week the counsel for the
city raised a' point as to the character of
the injury, and insisted that in order that
the jury cou'd better judge of the facts
Miss Prevon'cha, should exhibit ber in
jured limb to the jury.
"Never! she fairly hissed, as she
pointed her finger at the City Prosecutor.
"The demand is monstrous ! "
The Prosecutor insisted and quoted
authorities, Knd there was a long argu
ment The Judge finally decided that it
would be indelicate to enforce the de
mand, and 'the case went to the jury,
which returnod a verdict for the city.
A Kainoot Syitem.
The ruinous credit system is slowly but
surely giving way to the cash system.
The credit system is ruinous because it
breeds extravagance, says a cotemporary.
Many persons will buy things on credit
which they cannot afford, and when the
merchant asks for his mouey they have
not got it; should he presist, they become
offended atifl withdraw their patronage.
Who pays for the goods consumed or used
by deadhaad customers? Dies any one
realize how much they ask of a merchant
when they' request him to credit them
months after months, and then make him
wait for his mouey until he Is (breed to
collect it by law or lose it altogether ?
Verily, the credit system has fattened the
mercantile graveyard with many prom
ising business ventures.
School Director Oastei.
t
t
Laxcastkr, Pa., Nov. 6. Judge Bru-
baker to-day removed from otlice the six
school directors of Colnrain township.
They were petitioned to build a school
house aud refused to do so. An inspector
appointed by the Court made an invest
igation and reported the school -house pe
titioned for to be necessary. They still
refused to build, and the Court has now
removed them from ofhee.
The majority of the voters of the town
ship are opposed to a new school-bouse,
and they will probably re-elect the de
posed directors at the February election.
This is the only Democratic township in
the county.
