The Republi can meeting at the Academy cf Music at hifh Governor Daniel H. Hastings was the principal speaker was the event of last week. It marked the re vival of stalwartisrn. The sort of Re publicans who ntMd by Grant In '7;. who had stood by Lincoln, and who stood by Blaine, were brought to re alize that the same old agencies were making another endeavor to bring tri umph to the Democratic party by vicious and unscrupulous personal as saults on Senator Quay and those who are known to be his friends. When Governor Hastings appeared he was srrwted with an ovation, and t-poke in part as follows: "One of the candidates for governor in February last year charged In a religious newspaper, of which he was editor, that new metal furnishing have been paid for by the Mate, but old ones In use by the state carried into the Ft ale house cellar, cleaned and re turned, were made to personate th new ones paid for. " 'That in the purchase of material i.id lalor for making additions, alterations, repairs and furnishings, the capitol buildings, and cellars and grounds, also for the executive mansion and now for !race church, the state has lost many thousands of dollars as the result of an unfair system of competitive bidding. In other words, that the cost to th state has been two, three, four, as high as eight times, in some instances, as much as It should have been, and that not all of this money went to the per sons famishing the materials and la bor, and further that at least some of the board of public grounds and build ings custodians have guilty knowledge of this excessive cost.' These charges if true, should have made it impossible for me to appear before this audience ir to hold the office of governor for an other day. "Let me tell you what followed the publication which I have just read to yon. Its author was Imrr.ediately ar rested on the charge of criminal libel. He was taken into the criminal court. He was tried I y a Jury of his peers and was convicted. The verdict of the Jury was 'guilty.' He applied for a new trial. It was refused, and the trial judge, in his opinion refusing a new trial, inter alia, said: The Indictment alleged that these paragraphs (the quotations just read) were published of and concerning the members and su perintendent of the board of public grounds ar.d buildings, and that tie meaning of the paragraphs was to charge them with knowingly and corruptly and fraudulently cheating and defrauding the commonwealth, and with fraudulently and corruptly mis using and misappropriating to them-F-lves and to others the public moneys f the commonwealth." -Defendant admitted the publication, but denied that he intended it to refer to the Iward or its members, or that it in fact charges them with the of fenses alleged in the indietment. 'The burden was of cturse on the commonwealth to prove that these paragraphs would be understood by the public to charge the members and su-IK-rintendent of the board or some of them, as alleged in the indictment, and the jury was instructed that if the commonwealth failed, in this proof de fendant could not be convicted. In view of the verdict we must assume the jury found with the commonwealth on these points. To establish the defense that the publication had not been maliciously or malignantly made, defendant testified at length, giving in detail all the facts claimed to be within his own knowl edge, and all the Informatioa that he had received which led him to make the publication: and nothing of this l.lnd. however remote, was excluded. "Since then the convicted editor has mercilessly abused the trial Judge, the jury. tse opposing lawyers and the rtate. reiterating the same charges. par ticularly about Grace church. Who would not commend at bust his misdi rected energy? His defense must have Iwcn well prepared. He was indefat igable. He left no stone unturned. H was several times at my stable cross examining my hostler and the cook in our kitchen to find out svaielhing In the garbage or the manure pile to In jure me or my family. "II. Again this candidate In the same paper charged That articles have been furnished for the soldiers orphans' rchools that cost the state eight fold more than reliable bidder were will ing to furnish the same articles for." "Th soldiers orphans' schools com mission immediately held a meeting In the executive chamber, its members consisting of General Gobin, Senator Mitchell. Captain William F. Stewart, Hon. Ira F. Mansfield. Hon. Roltert M. Foster, Colonel Exra H. Ripple and Captain George W. Skinner. The mem bers of the commission at once resolved to arrest him and the warrant was served. When he faced the jury his principal defense was that there was no t he may desire off the maximum fig malice Intended. This was the first ! ure. The law requires that each item case tried, and the Jury leniently found J must be advertised for bids In 12 new-shim "not guilty, but pay the costs.'

This Is the letter: " Harrisburg. Pa.. Nov. 1. MS7. "Governor Daniel H. Hastings: " 'My Dear Sir: The suit against me on the charge of having libeled the Commission cf soldiers rrphans' acboola, gain, my doctor became uneasy. Ke did something for which I can never thank him enough. - He brought me a box of Dr. Vffliams' Fink Pills ior Pale People and told me they would do me more good than any thing he knew oL He had used them with great success in a case similar to mine. The case in question was that of L Philips, of Petersville. "Li all I took nine boxes of the pills. I need not go over ray gradual recovery in detail, but you must imagine my joy relief when, after two months of helpless ness, I felt Lie and strength return day by day to my dead limbs. When I had taken the ninth box I was completely cured. "I am hale and hearty to-day, with no traces of my awful experience, and I give all the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They probably saved me from the grave." Pit. SUmpson, to give more strength to his story, made affidavit to its troth before Abncr Norman, a Notary Public at Rugby. The power of Dr. Villiams Pink Pills fx Pale People in the vast number of dis eases due to impure or poisoned blood or to derangements of the nervous system, has beca demonstrated in thousands of in stances as remarkable as the one related above. No one whs is suffering can right fully neglect this way to restore health. Drueeists everywhere sell Dr. Villiams Pink Pais for Pale People. f which yon are a member, rtioold tever have been brought, as I am now prepared to demonstrate to the satis faction of all concerned, including tha taxpayers of the state. - "The 60 bill of court expenses.

'The bill of expenses, over and hove $060. and which I was compelled to incur in my defense.

" 'In view of all the circumstances, j the commission should, and can well i afford to. pay both of these bills, ag gregating $1,910. or less than $175 for each of the 11 commissioners. This should be attended to by or before Dec. L 1W7. " 'Tours truly. "S. C. SWALLOW." "III. The same candidate has charged repeatedly on the stump and In the newspapers "that the sum of $8,330.01 was paid for carpenter work on the rose propagating house, which the state au thorities admitted was worth, includ- ing material and labor, not more than Jl.SK.1 "The rose propagating house referred tc was built under an act of the leg islature of the session of 1S95. In which in the general appropriation bill the sum of $1.8(i0 was appropriated. The language used in the act Is as follows: 'For the payment of the erection, con struction, completion and furnishing of ! a rose propagating house, the sum of one thousand eight hundred dollars, or co much thereof as may be necessary." I'nder this act a house was built, to gether with all the excavation, mason ry, carpenter work, glass, iron, paint Ice and material of every kind, finished complete for use. for the sum of $1,S(K, the amount appropriated, built by Charles H. Miller, who took the bid. "I have these figures taken from the record of the auditor general of the state. The statement, therefore, that this building cost over Ji.000 is utterly and unqualifiedly false, and I challenge any practical builder, who understands the value of material and labor, to construct a duplicate of this building for any smaller sum than was paid for this rose propagating house by the board of public buildings and grounds of the commonwealth, and I also chal lenge any man to show that the build ing in question cost more than $l.t00. "IV. At the trial in the Dauphin coun ty court, above referred to. the candi date, in his defense, brought out. of course, everything he could to Justify his charges in regard to the fitting out if Grace church, and inasmuch as he was found guilty of criminal libel, after producing all the testimony within his reach, it is hardly worth the time of this audience to make any further ref erence to it. As a matter of fact, the church was fit: Ml up for the occupanc .f the legislature in four dfays and four nights. I took personal charge of the work myself, and if the Dauphin county jury had brought In a verdict of acquittal there might be some ground on which the defendant might rest his allegations. It was necessary to fit up rooms for the senate and house of rep resentatives. The cellar was utilized for committee rooms. There were re quired i.ew boilers, partitions, windows, electric light, steam heat, plumbing, retiring rooms, desks, chairs, tables, carpets and whatever else was neces sary to make the church habitable by the legislature, its offioers and em ployes. Every bidder who had obtain ed, after competitive bidding, the year ly contract for furnishing the supplies to the state government, was summon ed and directed to do his part of the work by the following Monday night. "The fire occurred on Tuesday. The contractors went to work on Wednes day, and although the church was not 1 '"Peted. the church was habitable for the legislature, and the two houses met on Monday evening, according to my promise to them. There was a dls. position among the members of the gen eral assembly to take a recess of 30 days. I " I was opposed to the recess, and it was only w hen I gave thera my person al word that the building would be ready for their occupancy on the fol lowing Monday night, that they acced ed to my wishes. A deiay of 30 day would have cost the state, at a conserv atire estimate, between $20,000 and t.t0. (00, per ha i. s more than the latter fig ure. The old Capitol building was com plttely destroyed by fire. Nothing but a small amount of furniture was saved. Mark you. every contractor was re Miiircd to furnish his material and do the work, under his contract price for the year, after tjie competitive bidding and letting on the previous first of June. Two sets and sometimes three wts of workmen worked alternately through 4 hours of each day. The desks, chairs, tables, bookcases and pa ler files comprised a large part of the expense, amounting to $14.i31.CS. The lumber used was measured after It was 1'Ut in place, and paid for on that measurement. I am Informed the de fendant himself had It measured, at' l ast he had the opportunity to have it measured for use in his trial, and still tke jury found him guilty. Since his convict km he has been as assiduous in repeating his charges as he was before. Th' must convince the people of th state the kind of regard he has for laws and courts as after his conviction he continues to repeat the crime for which he was convicted. ! "It may be proper for me to ray that he present law providing for the purchase of supplies for tbe state gov ernment is modeled after that In force i by the Federal government at Wash ington. Vy our law and the constitu tion there is a maximum price fixed for each article, and the commission fs required to give contracts to the low- I est responsible bidders, each bidder be ing required to bid such percentage as county. Any person desiring to bid on any articles can apply to the board of public grounds and bulldirgs through its representative, who furnishes the Schedule of maximum prices. He can make out his bid and hold it until the day of the letting, which is public, and in the executive chamber, where all bids are opened. The contracts are by law required to be awarded to the low est responsible bidder, who must fur nish a bond for tbe faithful perform ance of his cont ract. All parties hava a right to Tw prwtit and the awards r made publicly, and each and every bid der has the opportunity to see and x amine the bids of his rivals for the con tracts. Inasmuch aa the material fur nished and work done is for the stats the rivalry for the contracts is always spirited. "On last Saturday night In this tall, and standing on this platform, this same candidate made the following charge: " -in Grace church they bought 146.-' 000 feet of lumber when only G.Ws feet were used. Those familiar with their methods say thtt they had the lumber carried in by the front door, charged to the state, and thin removed half of It by a back window, but I do not vouch for this. But tat 148.009 were charged to the state while the amount used was SS.000 I do vouch for. The bills were regularly O. K.. and would have been paid had we not ar rested them.' "The answer to the assertion Is that It is not true. The state did not buy 146.000 feet of lumber, as alleged: neith er did the state buy 6.00O feet of lum ber, as stated by the candidate. It did buy exactly 115,252 feet of lumber and paid for It the sum of $2.910 04. The total cost of the lumber that went into the church repairing was $2,910.04. and the totl cost of the planing mill and carpenter work was $2,382.51, makins a total cost of the lumber and the labor upon It of $i,292.5a. Here ire the bill and the voucher for It over the hand and seal of the auditor general of the state. "Again, this candidate for governor has declared In his newspaper and on the stump that the burning of the state t-apltol building was by design and that It was done for the purpose of burning up public documents which might be used as testimony against certain mem bers of the Republican party: and that further, there is convicting evidence of criminal carelessness and neglect on the part of the state house custodians." "The last sentence, quoted from his newspaper, contains a serious cha.-ge In no ambiguous terms. After this state ment he was railed upon to testify be fore the joint committees of the two branches of the general assembly on public grounds and buildings. He was sworn to tell the truth, and then under oath he did not in any way, either di rectly or indirectly, indicate that he had at any time regarded the building as having been set on fire by design. He could give no names of the guilty; he could furnish no witnesses: he could give no data: he could do nothing, not even repeat the assertion made in his paper, and so at last he declared tinder oath: 'I have already testified to all the facts within my personal knowledge In relation to the capitol building, and so far as I can recall them. Any furth er testimony would le hearsay evi dence, as I have heard nothing from anyone responsible for the care of the building burned.' This testimony is contained In the Legislative Record, pages 722 and 728 inclusive, and there Is not a scintilla cf evidence given by him or anyone else to support his charge of carelessness or neglect. "At a later date, in an article pub lished In the Pennsylvania Methodist, of Feb. 11, lfcS8. he intimated that the building was burned in order that val uable papers and documents relatin? to the treasury Investigation might be df-stroyed. When called upon the wit ness stand he admitted writing the arti cle and said that when he wrote it h- had in view a statement which he had seen In the Philadelphia newspapers bearing on the subject and averred that it was made 'on the statement of gen tlemen who profess to know of what they were talking." He refused to give the names of the gentlemen who had given him the Information, and has not yet done so, although a year and a half Las elapsed since the Investigation was held. Everybody at all familiar with the facts knows that there was not record relating to the treasury or any ether department on file In the building turned. "A citizen of this commonwealth, who Is a candidate for the highest office 1 within the gitt of the people, who with h.-lds information from the public. which he avers Is 'convicting evidence' of the destruction of the capitol build ing of our commonwealth for the pur pose of destroying valuable papers and dncuments relating to the investigation of the state treasury., then being made. charges an awful crime, and m with holding the evidence, if R exists, com mits himself a greater crime against the people. He is constantly repeat ing the charge, but he steadfastly with holds the proof of guilt which he avers he possesses. No citizen need be told that If he Is telling the truth It Is bis Fttlemn duty to go to the nearest mag istrate and make his Information and furnish the names of the witnesses. If he fails to do his duty in this regard he Is worse than an assassin. "He has latterly in his public ntter tnces been declaring that he has the advice of able counsel to the effect that, under the law. the attorney general Is the only citizen of the state who has the power and whose duty it Is to prosecute those whom he alleges to be guilty, and he has. Just as often, in his newspaper and on the stump, called upon the at torney general to institute proceedings nf this character. "I do not know who his attorney Is or where he gets his advice. The attorney general has. however, addressed to me communication on the subject, which I will now read to you. It is as fol lows: "" 'Oflice of the Attorney General, " 'Harrisburg. Oct. 10. 189S. " 'Daniel H. Hastings. Governor: " 'Sir It has been charged by one of the candidates for governor of this commonwealth that sundry public of ficfals have been guilty of wrongdoing. and that under the law the attorney general only Is clothed with the duty and the power to prosecute. In an rwer to your inquiry as to whether such Is or is not the case. I respect fully submit that there is not only no such duty imposed upon the attorney rrenera! in his official capacity, but that it is the right of any citizen, havlv? knowledge of the facts, to make in formation before any alderman or Jus t'ce of the peace in the commonwealth. tause a warrant to le issued, and the person charged with the offense duly ried. w hether he be a public official or t private individual. " The same candidate for governor las on repeated occasions stated to his udiences that he has called upon the attorney general to Institute proceed ings of this character. I believe it to be due to you and to the public, aa s-ell as to myself to say that the can Ildate referred to has never, directly or 'jirttreetly. mentioned the subject to me, and. of course, has furnished not a syllable of evidence to sustain any charge that he has made: nor has he, In any of his public utterances, shown that he possessed any evidence that would be admissible in any court In any civilized country in the world. " 'Very respectfully, w " 'Henry C. McCormlck. " 'Attorney General "As Abraham Lincoln, In speaking of t candidate, once said, 'If the people like this kind of a man. this is a very pood man for the people to like." If the people of this state want this kind of man for governor to enft rce the laws, to do justice to all and wrong to none. ,o safeguard their lives, their property and their character, if they want such a man, this is a very good man for them to vote for," Governor Hastings also took Dr. Swal low to task for his charges that the State had beyi paying exorbitant prices I for its supplies. On this point the gov ernor said he instructed James Camp bell, tha factory inspector, to send to Dr. Swallow's own bookstore in Har risburg and purchase similar articles to those used by the state. In every case it was found that the prices charged by Dr. Swallow and paid for by the state were procured at prices ranging from 10 per cent to 3SS per cent above the regular prices paid by the commonwealth. He read a numter of the figures showing tha comparison of prices; among tbcrqi Bwal State low price, price. One ream of Mt. Holly Crow n 1 nen. If lbs. to ream $2.33 $J 33 One box of 100 sheets W. S.

The governor closed with a defense of his administration from criticisms of increased expenditures and a Veference to the objectionable bills passed by the last legislature and which were vetoed by him. He said that he had no regrets for those vetoes and that he would not e people tc return to the legislative halls those who betrayed the trust re posed in them by their constituents who honored them. In conclusion he said: "Prudent bankers do not go out of business because they discover the peculations of a dishonest teller. "The thrifty fanner who discover nta barn Infested with vermin will not burn down tbe building filled with the year's crps only for the purpose of rid ding himself of the pests. "Our victorious hosts at Santiago am pot thrown down their arms and sur- tender to the enemy because some quartermaster failed in bis duty, or the commissary neglected to bring forward the rations or the hospitals were remiss in caring for sick and wounded. No, they scaled the heights of El Caney nd planted the flag on the summit and looked after the mallgner after the battle was won. Neither will the Republican party. with all its glorious history and all Its achievements for humanity: with all Its victories In peace and in war: with all its accomplishments for mankind and for civilization and all Its brightening prospects for the future, now standing in the sunlight of its noblest acnieve ments, break ranks and disintegrate because of the wrongdoing, of a few men who wear Its uniform."

Confused aud mixed. Women of grit. Herald of the dawn. New England specialty. Wood from a celebrated watering place. Boston's overthrow. Hidden tears. Klondike nnggets. ' One who embarked from tho ark. Fragrant beans from Arabia. Earth apple salad. Cune fruits." Of courso tbe guests order Llindly front the card. All manner of laughable mistakes and surprises are sure to fol low, for if a m:w choose "fragrant beans from Arabia" he will be sure of a good cup cf coffee at least, but if he order "spring's offering" a glas3of cold water only will bo his Jack. "Herald t f tbe dawn" stands for a bird. Choose "confused aud mixc-d," you will receive grnernus diih of pickles. "Women of grit" will bring forth a couple of delicious saudwicbes. " Wood from a celel rated watering jlace," w hen simmered down, amounts to "Sar atoga chips." "Pearl gatherers" stand for oysters on ice. "Boston's overthrow" means a cup of tea. "Cano fruits" are sugar plums. "Klondike nuggets" will bring different varieties cf ices.- "One who embarked from the ark" will fur nish (cold boiled) ham. And these are bnt a few of the puzzles that ten min utes' thought will suggest Each dish is paid for at its regula tions restaurant value, so that tbe end of the affair means a goodish little sum in the hands of the philanthropists, and yet each guest has received bis money's tvorth. Chicago Times-Herald. Tbe Artful Hodera GirL "The artfulness of the modern girl, " remarked a woman wbo was a girl years ago herself tome, "passeth understand ing. I have, for example, a youn? kins woman of 18, whose mother, knowing that my husband was out of town, in vited me to ber lios.se to tea one day Jast week. Tbe girl was so sweet to m tbat in the end, though I hadn't the slightest idea of doirjg it when I st( out, I a.-ked her to come home with me and stay the night She assented not too eagerly aud as we walked toward tbe car together she lives on Capitol hill she began to talk of young Mr. Sj-and-so, Ccmmsader So-aud so's son, who wad so anxious to nioct me. No woman is too old to be proof against flattery, so I expressed an interest in Mr. So-and-so aud told her she might bring him to see mo some day. " 'It would le nice if he could come over this evening, wouldn't it?' sho said thoughfully. I agreed that it wouh). " ' You might have sent him a note if you had known, I said, for at my age it isn't too often that young men want to make my acquaintance. " 'I t(Tl you what' she said, quite as if the idea bad just occurred to her. 'I'll telepbeno to him and see if be has r.uy otbtr engagement.' "We went into tbe nearest drug store, and idly I followed her to tbe telephone box, though she called my attention to something at the other end of the store. Central gave her the much desired num ber the young man's brother is a phy sician. " "Is this Mr. So-and-so?' she asked. "Pause. "'It's all right abcol tonight she said. 'GoodLy.' "That's all she said. And then and not till then I realized bow that inno cent young thing had played it on me. As I said beforj, the artfulness cf tbe modern girl passeth understanding. " Washington Post The "Beloved Ere" Fad. The latest novelty in love tokens is tbe "beloved eye." Of course this is only an imitatiou of the human eye, but tbe miniature rmrrraita re ninft , so cxquUitely on ivory tbat the eye of . tbe beloved one seem to be shown in J reality. Tbe painting of tbe eye is a most del ieata aud laborious task. Onl 7 a master hand can rrodace the exact color and exnnvsinn Tbia ml-oa tk. f,.i - I " "-- J luJ U f flj costly oue, thereforo its popularity is ooniiued to tbe wealthy set Many sittings luvd to bo given to t'.io tniniuture painter before LIj i.ki!lfal strokes can cenvey thecytstotho ivcry, o the work Leromea a test of arcction 35 r on the part of t be man. Re ts compel lea not only to draw heavily on his parse, but opon his time. After the painting is completed it is encircled with a setting of precious stones, as costly as the purw can buy. Pearls and diamonds form the favorite setting, tbe connecting links cf gold be ing invisible. , Tbe miniature is then ready to bo suspended from a rope of pearls or a .lelioate rbaiu of precious stones. Tbe miniature must swing low npon tha corsage, so tbat it may be near the heart For this reason the bauble is not fastened on tbe end of tbe chain, but bangs midway and has a fringe of jew eled links falling below it Tbe token cf tbe "beloved eye" is nndoubtedly frangbt with a bit of quaint sentiment though prominent society woman gives tbe reverse side. With a touch of humor she announces "that any man who presents a miuia ture cf his own eye to his swot tbeart tacitly admits that be jj keeping an eye upon all overtures extended by his mas culine rivtls." The "beloved eye" is a passing fad at tuict rWmieil to ha short lived by its very eccentricity and costliness. New York World. Women Who Carry the Mall.

Miss Louise Marcomo drives the stage between Curtisvilla and Stockbridge, making two trips a day. a distanca of some four miles.

"Furs become very much soiled and need renovation as much as any other part of a woman's wardrobe," says Emma M. Hooper in The Ladies' nome Journal, "but among the many direc tions given for cleansing and renovating one seldeni fiuds anything regarding furs. Furriers keep all such trade secrets strietly, but occasionally there is a leakage, and I am able to give tbe result of cue. Dark furs, as seal, miuk aud black marten, are cleaned with f.tio cedar or mahogany sawdust which Is kept In stock by furriers. "Tbe garment is ripped free from the liuing aud tbe fur laid on a table with tbe huir up; then the sawdust is rubbed )u tbe hair aud neither strength nor awdcst spared during tbe process. Wbeu finished, shake tbe far lightly over tbe table and save the sawdust t bat drops out Then put upon the table one or two feather pillows iu their usual muslin slips, and upon tbeso lay tbo furs, bair dovu this time, and beat thoroughly with a switch until the saw dust is out and tbe fur as clean as a pin. Keep moving tbe pillows, as tho fur must have a soft support while beaten. White furs are cleaned with white cornnical applied as tha sawdust is on tbe darker varieties, if white furs are only slightly soiled, they may b i cleaned with maguesia in small cubes that is well rubbed in and then thor oughly dusted out" She larettlgated, A case occurred not long ago lit whieb iuvestigation in a suitor's home city ly the girl ho wanted to marry paused his rejection.

Accordingly, with ber maid aud a chap eron, tbe mado a trip westward and established herself iu cue of tbo fiuest suits of rooms iu tho best betel iu tbo city in which tbe young man lives. He, however, was not informed of ber pres ence there. Then sbo set about making investigations pending au answer to his proposal cf marriage.
