receives in Its favor, that the people
want it; Dd that It has been his expe
rience that what the people want very
much is usually pretty nearly right,
and Is also very likely to be realized In
course of time, and sometimes without
much unnecessary delay, as may hap
pen in the present case.
Canada contains a population of 6,
000,000, while that of the United States
is 73,000,000. The ambitious diploma;?
of the Dominion are apt to forget this
difference when they talk of reciprocity.
The Connecticut Legislature appro

the result, and the work of construc

That new Government armor plant
will cost over three million dollars, but
it soon may be worth mnch more than
that. There is nothing like being pre
pared to do business when that busi
ness must be done.
Women make an outcry against the
slaughter of birds, aod yet wear feath
ers on their hats. A woman is not un
like a mau in some paii.culars. The
personal point of view sometimes makes
a thing look different.
Senator Chandler dos not rank
high among political soothsayers, but
his prediction that the Hawaiian treaty
will lie ratified stands an excellent
chance to prove true. There is neither
partisanship nor sectionalism in this
question. Itepublicans and Democrats,
the North and the South, the East and
the West, are divided on the iue, but
ao overwhelming majority of all part
ies re prolbly for annexation. The
question wili eall out a good deal of
discussion in the Senate, but, as it has
already provoked long discussion in the
press, not many new points on either
side are likely to be developed. That
two thirds vote which the friends of
annexation confidently count on will
undoubtedly be had.
Woman's SOry of a Crime.
The frightful losses of the Spanish
troops in Cuba are for the first time au
thoritatively revealed in the report of
General Blanco to the home govern
ment. Of 192,000 soldiers of the regu
lar army sent to General Weyler, only
89,000 now remain fit for duty. In the
hospitals are to be found 40,000, thus
leaving C3.000 who have perished of
wounds or disease. When we remem
ber that this appalling loss of life has
been suffered by an army which has
never fought a pitched battle worthy
of the name, in a struggle wKh an en
emy who probably never mustered
more than 20,000 rifles in any one
j place, we get an idea of the stupendous
tsk which confronted Snam in the
suppression of the Cuban rebellion.
The United States Government has
already received $ 13,000,000 of the sum
realized from the sale of the Union Pa
cific Railroad, and there is about $40,
(X 10,000 yet to come. The investment
was not so bad, after alL
Kxiirer Xaxsen denies the report

Mark Twain was one of the men
expelled from the Austrian Reichsrath
during the recent riot. He was struck
on the head, but it is safe to say that
he famous American will have some
thing very clever from the same head
when he gets to wk-lding his facile pen
in describing the uproar.
Se retaky of the Interior Bliss
emphasizes the need of legislation on
liehalf of Alaska at the coming session
of Congress. Gold discoveries and the
grand rush of prospectors to the gold
fields make the piesent provisions en
tirely inadequate for the needs of the
territory.

This is so different from a year ago that

The fifteen Republican majority in
the Ohio Legislature on joint ballot
which the revised count riveals, shows
that the Buckeye State did well in the
recent canvass. It was in the contest
for the Legislature that McLean put in
his most skillful work. Every Repub
lican was confident that his party
would have a long lead on Governor,
but no Republican supposed that the
majority in the Legislature would be
as great as it is now known to be. Tak
ing into the account the rascality in
many shapes which the Republicans
had to combat, and keeping in mind
the tendency of the party vote in that
State to shrink in the year immediately
succeeding a presidential election in
which the Republicans were victorious,
the victory of lst7 is seen to lie one of
the most notable in Ohio's history.

ine bv the explosion of eiehty quarts of
nilro-glycerine, which had been brought
overland from Montpelier and placed In
an open Geld, a half a mile from the town.

working at a gas well near by when the
explosion occurred. Mansey was thrown
fifty feet, but not seriously injured. Ma

was torn to pieces. The explosion tore a
hole in the gnu oil down to the water line.
So far as learned the explosion was spon
taneous. A tbree-ton engine was torn to
fraements. and every livinc animal was
killed instantly. The liltietown ofChes
terfield is a mass of ruins; every house
was moved from its foundations, windows
shattered, doors smashed in, every light
put out, and the plastering shaken from
the walls. Several people were shaken
out of bed.
At Dalesville, two miles away, and at
Yorktown, five miles distant, the damage
was almost as great. Many people were
injured, and it is a miracle that none were
killed outright.
The jar of the explosion waa felt for fif
teen miles in all directions. Tbe gas in
the well was blown out, and a workman
rained cooper lit it. and caused another
explosion, in which he was fatally burned.
The damage cannot be estimated.
XoRRtsTOWX, Pa Nor. SSL Following
upon the arrest in Newark, N. of
James A. Clemraer, charged with com
plicity in the murder of Mrs. Emma P.
Kaiser, oomea the story of an alleged con
fession by Lizzie DeKalb, declaring that
the actual killing was done by Clemmer
aad not by Charles O. Kaiser, husband of
the murdered woman, who is under sen
tence of death for the crime. It is said
that the woman was prompted to confess
by reading the confession of Mrs. Augusta
Nack, in the Guldensoppe case in New
York.
She asserts that Clemmer killed Mrs.
Kaiser, while Kaiser held hr struggling
in his arms.
The party started from Norristown, she
Haid, for the ostensible purposeof deliver
ing to a customer some miles away a cray
on portrait made hy Kaiser, who was in
that business. Tbey rode in two buggies.
Mr. and Mrs. Kaiser in one aud Clemmer
and Lizzie DeKalb in the other. Before
reaching their destination, however, the
couples separated, with the understand
ing that Clemmer and Miss DeKalb were
to overtake tbe Kaisers on the way home.
Continuing tbe woman said:
"At tbe appointed place wa saw tbe
Kaisers' buggy ahead, moving slowly.
We drove up close and Clemmer jump
ed out, leaving me to drive. He started
to overtake them on foot. He had a re
volver and waa shivering with fear. He
gave tbe signal and tbe Kaiser buggy
stopped.
"At the same instant, Kaiser threw bis
arm around his wife's neck and ducked
her bead. She struggled frantically and
Clemmer, watching the terrible scene
from his place beside tbe bnggy, lost his
nerve and hesitated.
Kaiser saw this and hissed at him:
Shoot, you dog, or I'll kill you.
"Clemraer then pushed the revolver
close to the woman's ear and fired. Her
struggles ceased instantly and she fell
over dead."
Kaiser's story of the supposed attack.
robbery, and killing by highwayman is.
well remembered. Tbe truth of it was
suspected from tbe first, and a day or two
afterwards, when the revolver was found
on the road, with tbe watch and other ar
ticles alleged to have been stolen, the
husband was arrested.
As soon as the news reached Cl6tnmer
andM iss DeKalb they fled. Tbe woman
was caught in Philadelphia about three
weeks ago.

A Phjtician't Feriooal Experience Wita
Discharge from tat
Ears.
While discussing the subject of special
ties in medicine, and the growing eon
fidence in Specialists, Dr. A. B. Travis,
Bellevue, Pa., a gradviateof the Cleveland
Med'cal College, related a personal ex
perience, lie said: neu l was ten
years old I had warlet fever. As usual
very common I hail a purulent discharge
from one ear. This continued without
relief. I expected, when I came to attend
Medical Lectures, to obtain relief through
some of tbe professors. After consulting
with several, and a course of treatment by
the Professor of Surgery, 1 was told a per
m iiient cure was impossible. In lsstl,
thirty-five years alter the beginning, 1
consulted Tr. Sadler, HH Penn avenue
Pittsburgh, and, to my delight, in four
mouths he bad me cured. I have never
had a particle of the trouble since. Now
you can see why I believe in specialties
in medicine, and never hesitate to rec
oramend such specialists as Dr. Sadler.'
Barely Saved Her Life.
The health authorities of Indianap
olis say that diphtheria and other con
tagious diseases are spread in that city
by the use in common by school chil
dren of penholders and lead pencils.
These are gathered in a box each even
ing and re-distributed the next day to
different pupils. In this way a pencil
finds its way into the mouths of scores
of children.
Many Senators appear to think that
the coming Congress will not dabble
with currency reform, and tw ready to
adjourn about the first of May. Vice
President Hobart does not coincide with
this view, lie says: "The people de
mand currency reform, aud that at
once. I believe that their representa
tives will pass a currency law that will
meet the temper, the tone, the require
ments of the people of the United
States."
It is a little curious that those who
protested most loudly against the Ding
Icy protective tariff should be the first
to send a commission to Washington
to plead for reciprocity and a generaf
understanding by which trade relations
under the new law should be made as
compared with those under the old law.
The Canadian government, in sending
its chief official to Washington to open
the way for negotiations iu this line,
showed that all of its complaints about
our tariff and its proposed retaliation
wvre only for effect.
It is understood that the Commis
sioner of Pensions, in bis forthcoming
report, will recommend an amendment
of the law, by a provision that the wid
ows of soldiers shall be pensioued only
in cases in which the marriage took
place before or during the soldier's term
of service. The practice of marrying
old soldiers chiefly with a view to secur
ing a widow's pension, is becoming al
together too common, and has too
much of the character of graveyard in
surance. It can at least be checked by
a provision that no woman hereafter
marrying a soldier shall be entitled to
a widow's pension, upon his death.
Only Three and a Preacher.
CrMTiKiu.Axn, Nov. 2S. While Caleb
Whitefield, who operates the coal roller

stairs Saturday afternoon atteuding to
the rollers be noticed that the large draw

Mrs. Whitefield was unable to move
muscle and was being choked uutil she
was black in tbe face.
II er husband immediately stopped the
machinery and it was some minutes be
fore he was able to extricate his wife from
her perilous oonditiou. Tbe woman had
been passing through tbe mill and her
clothing caught. A minute more and she
would have been ground up. As it was
she was seriouly injured and may not

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 28. The Georgia
Legislature has just killed a bill offered
by Mr. Calvin, of Richmond county, pro
viding for granting free business licenses
to V'uion soldiers now living in the State.
Two men spoke in favor of the bill, but
their speeches received little attention
Several men who opposed the bill said
that they loved the Union and had no feel
ing of hostility against the North
against the men who fought against tb
South in the Civil war, but they were un
alterably opposed to a measure that
would be a reward for the men who came
to Georgia in 14 and burned the homes
of the people who are now expected to
help and pension the Union soldiers.
C05GBESS KEXT WEEK.
Knoxvillk, Tenn., Nov. 26, What is
called the "Johnny" law of Tennessee,
which was passed by tbe Legislature last

In view of the many questions of vital
importance which are certain to come be

those persons who desire to le well in

interested in the news that "The Phila

any daily paper heretofore. "The Press"
maintains regularly at Washington a spec

working force of this bureau has been in

There Is a good deal of agitation under

Into the excitement and worry of polit

all of the members of the Pennsylvania
delegation are getting housed for tne
..i.i.. aA nthrwlae nreparlng lor a
short, sharp and decisive campaign un
der the big dome of the capltoL It
must be said In all candor that the
state of Pennsylvania never had a bet
ter or more energetic representation at
the capltol than it has at the present
time, and the two senators and the
congressmen can be depended upon to
get all there Is possible to get for the
state of Pennsylvania, both In the way
of appointments and appropriations.
The prospects of a new state cap
Jlol being bullt upon tne rums m iuc
old structure at Harrisburg In time
to be ready for occupancy on the part
of the legislature in January, are
excellent. The new capltol building
rnmmlston. under a decision of tne su
preme court, has decided not to com
pensate the six specially invited archi
tects who submitted plans unless tney
can show that their plans conformed
to the program as prepared by the com
mission. These special architects were
to receive $1,000 each.
An-hitect Henry Ivea Cobb, who has
bn selected to supervise the con
struction of the new capltol, has pre
sented modified plans and specifica
tions, and submitted them for appro
val. AH of them have been approved,
with some slight alterations. Under
the new plan the senate and house will
be situated as in the old capltol. In
stead of the house being in the rear of
the senate, as the original Cobb plan
provided for. The rest of the cpecln
cationa will be produced at a meet

decided to let the entire contract for
excavations, foundation and superstruc
ture to one contractor, and not dUlde

Ti.i.i Marshall, the famous independ
ent of Allegheny county. Is the latest
man to declare for Congressman Stone.
He says:
"Yes. I am in favor of the nomina
tion of Colonel W. A. Stone for gov
ernor. He is our representative in con
gress, and exhibited large ability and
earned distinction In his congressional
career. He possesses all the requisites
for a successful candidate. He is a sol
dier boy; close and near to the rank
and file: in touch with the people.
What he Is he has earned In tbe field.
He entered the nation's service and
passed through the struggle of the
grandest conflict that the world ever
witnessed. The men of' the south
were our brothers In blood and courage
brave, enthusiastic, believing that
they were defending their rights and
homes.
"After the close of the war Mr. Stone
devoted himself to the study of law,
tame to our county, and was appoint
ed United Srlr.es attorney for the west
ern district. Afterward he was chosen
our representative in congress to suc
ceed my friend and student. Colonel
Thomas M. Bayne. During his ser
vice in congress he has been earnest.
active and watchful of the Interests of
the people. There lies his strength. He
Is In touch with the rank and file toe
men who in the field fought and won
our victory for $13 a month, and never
to themselves said: 'We will attain dis
tinction or reputation.'
"In peace he has sought to protect
American labor from tbe Inundation of
foreign paupers, the outflow of the
tffete population of the Old World. Col
inel Stone is a man of energy and ac
tivity; has his eye open to the do-
tngs and tendencies of the times. He
ioes not owe his position to wealth or
any adventitious circumstances. He
has earned his position by hard, rugged
effort, and is not allied to any special
Interest. Ke is one of the people, and
has a kindred touch to the varied In
terests of the many. I will not dilate
further upon his services as a soldier.
"From the disturbed, unsettled state
-jt tie political field In Pennsylvania
:he labor interests and the working
nen d.ould be given a candidate In
harmnny with their feelings. That Is
where the votes cjme from. The Re
.uMlran party mupt be responsive to
the wants cf the mass of the people If
It wUhes to cuide the destiny of the
natk n. It waa born of a great moral
Impulse. It had but three principles of
action: Free men, free labor and free
hinds. The sooner the party gets back
tc this starting place the better for
the people of this nation. Tbe strug
gle about a financial standard Is trivial
compared with the vital and great
questions which lie In the near future,
fuch as the freedom of labor; of indl
vi.luRl effort; the crushing out of all
rpcUsl privileges for the few at the cost

Mr. Anthony Hope Hawkins, the au-
fr of "The Prisoner of Zanili," proves.
on the closer acquaintance which his visit
1 1 this country is now yielding.no less
attractive as a rxan than aa a writer. Hts
public readings from his own works seem
to ei ve his larrre audiences the highest sat
isfaction; and in the busy course ol friend
ly dininz through which he has been put
since he landed he has shown himself the
kindliest and most unassuming of guesU
of honor.
Mr. Hawkins is now thirty-four years
old. He began life as a lawyer, apa in
IS2 he made a vigorous but unsuccessful
canvass fur a Liberal seat in Parliament.
While wailinif for cliouts ho began to
rite stories. He made his way but
slowly at first ; he had been writing rour
or five years before he achieved a pro
nounced success in "The Prisoner of
Zend." "The ImIIv Dialoeues" followed
and confirmed his popularity, ji is an
iotercMliiiR fact that while he hi visiting
in this country an American magazine
will begin publication or a sequel tome
story which was bis great success. Mo
flare's Magazine for Jicemler will con
tain the opening chapters oi "Utiper 01
HmlzHU," a new Xenda novel which con
tinues the history or tne love anu advent
ures of Rudolf R vwendy'.l and rrincess
Klavia. Tbey were extremely engaging
nple as they presented themselves in
"The Pri-oner of Zenda" : but those
who have bad the privilege of reading
the new story say that they are still more
engaging in it, and lh.it tbe seiies ol ad
ventures through which it carries uieui
is one to keep readers sitting up ell night.
The story has beeu i lu.slrate 1 r - lc-
t lure a by the author s personal irieuu,
Charles Liana (iibs"ii.
