Hktai'se Governor Stone is opposed

him of being "opposed to honest elec

The collecting fad may be carried to

State Chairman John P. Elkix,
one of the most sagacious and success

known, is likely to surrender the chair

The people of Pennsylvania have a

Oxk of the strongest safeguards
against civil war in Paris is the fact
that a world's Fair is to be held in the
city Dext year. The costly prepara
tions, already fat advanced, remind the
excitable Parisians that the arts of peace
are preferable to public tumult and wild
deeds of destruction.
There has been some talk of an In
dependent Republican ticket in l!K),
with Mr. Heed or ef-Secretary Bout
well as a Presidential candidate. Such
a contingency is extremely doubtful.
The ex-Speaker is an orthodox party
man. He is not the kind of soldier
that seeKs another camp.
The new Secretary of War is acting
with vigor. He has ordered the enlist
ment of ten additional regiments for
the Philippines, and he proposes to ex
haust all of the authority vested in the
Department by Congress. The senti
ment of the country is unquestionably
in favor of prompt and vigorous meas
ures. -
The death-rate of the army is the
lowest in its history, Wing but two per
cent., says the Harrisburg Telegraph.
Where are those blatant anti-expan-sionieU
who are crying in whining
tones that the boys of the army are
'dying off like sheep"' and to keep
them in the service is a shame. These
loud-mouthed traitors ought to lie im
prisoned. They are the copperheads of
the Civil War come to life again, and
thy are just as treacherous.
Last year this country used 87,000,
000 pounds of oleomargarine, and nat
urally one asks what became of all the
creamery butter manufactured. This
amount of oleomargarinee, according
to the Agricultural Iiepartmeut, which
has been gathering facts and figures,
displaces 4,390,000 cows worth l-W each,
or altogether $129,270,000. This will
give some idea of the great loss to the
farmers of the United States. Is it any
wonder that the farmers are kicking?
Candidate Creasy continues to
drift about the State retailing his petty
drivel about the State Treasury and the
wickedness of the Republican party.
Candidate Creasy in time will begin to
believe his own lies, for he certaibly
tells them as if he were half convinced
of their truth. He need have no hope
that he will ever be called to adminis
ter the affairs of the State Treasury.
He is too narrow and too much crip
pled under the hat to undertake big
things.
AN examination of the State treasury
reports for last year will shake faith in
the Democratic campaign gag that cor
porations pay no taxes. The total re
ceipts were 12,80.",S74 38, of which 12,
4I,b4 IS of the taxes oa personal prop
erty were refunded to the counties, leav
ing the net receipts for State purposes
f 10,"03,o!0 20. Of this amount corpo
rations paid ii,6;S,.rS3 71, considerably
more than three-fifths. And the cam
paign gag that beer and Lisky are not
taxed has a hollow sound, in view of
the fact that the receipts for licenses
were $SS,&GS 2tt larger than the year
before.
President McKisutr, la a speech
to the Catholic -utamer school at Lake
Cbarcplaln, said that while rebellion
might delay it could never defeat the
mission of the American flag, and the
audience cheered for fully ten minutes.
At the name meeting Captain Chad
wick, of the Maine, remarked that he
had no patience with those who criti
cised the Government for the war that
followed the destruction of the Maine,
and again the audience cheered for
many minutes. The man who is not
an admirer of the administration for
its vigorous war policy is very much in
the minority these days.
Kx-State Chairman Andrews
than w hom there is no shrewder .Iiti
ciau iu the State, unbosomed himself
to a Couinjwvial- Gazette rejorter in
Pittsburg Thursday, as follows: "Every
thing is lovely. We have harmony to
sell, and there isn't a single drop of
blood on the face of the moon. The
Convention next week will nominate
Brown, Adams and Burnett, not be
cause they have been slated, but because
they are unopposed; the people want
them, and, you know, we can not deny
the people. This talk of a 'slate is a
nightmare. Senator (Juay has made
no slate. He never does. He has sim
ply waited uutil the sentiment of the
people was ascertained and then well,
he will go along. That's the secret of
his success keeping close to the peo
ple." Franc e is on trial rather than Drey
fus. The clash of national difficulties
and national prejudices is called by the
name of Dreyfus, but the causes are far
beyond the significance of any individ
ual. Defects in the army administra
tion and the morale of the troops, prob
lems of bureaucracy, conspiracies
against the republic, deep-seated ani
mosities of race and differences of class
against class, all enter into the troubled
drama called a re-trial of Dreyfus. It
is to the credit of France that the ques
tion of justice to one man is a real ele
ment in these shifting scenes of general
excitement, of ruin to so many lives
and reputations, this grim procession
of suicides, fugitives, exiles, prisoners
and assassins. That there is much de
moralization iu France is clear, but that
wrong will triumph over right, or dis
order over order, is not indicated. I,
the French people, as a whole, are still
sane and sound, the republic will pass
through this fermeutatiou without such
calamities as have been known in the
past.
Capacity of Children.
CiiKAiio, August 18. The scientists
who are testing by mirbinery public
fMjhool children's brain power and pbys
iqua have made a partial report, in which
they say that the brighter pupils are the
larger and stronger ones, and .that the
dull children are generally small for their
ge'and physically weaker. The tests
show ed that op to the age of ten boys and
girls iucrease in streDgtb equally, but
after that the boys gain' more rapidly.
"That leads to the question,1' said Pr.
Christopher, "whether after that age the
sexes should not be separated, as the girls
do not gain in strength s as to be able to
perform the same tarks as the boys."
Comparison of the height of children of
eleven showed' that those in the higher
grades were several inches taller than
those of equal age in lower grade, and
the same was true of weight and endur
ance. From this Dr. Christopher and
Principal Andrews deduce that there is a
relationship between physical and mental
capacity, and they think, therefore, that
there should le a physical lest not only
for admission to the schools, but for each
grade.
Yanderbilt ii aa Iaventor.
New port, R. I., August IS. Cornelius
Yanderbilt, jr., for some years in the
drafting-room of the rolling-stock depart
ment of the New York Central road, is
the inventor of a locomotive every part of
which was made from designs furnished
by him. The engine baa been built, and
testa are now- to begin. A special feature
of the Yanderbilt locomotive is the fire
box, which is arranged so it can be re
moved when burned out, or for cleaning,
and replaced in one uigbt, the removal of
a few bolts being all that is necessary.
To-day it takes several days to remove a
firebox, and necessitates the driving of
over 1,(MI0 bolts.
Major Harrison Stricken Down.
Santiaoo de Ccba, Aug. 20. Major
Russell B. Harrisou, inspector general
and son of ex-Presideut Benjamin Harri
son, is critically ill with yellow fever.
The case is the first to occur at Cristo,
whither headquarters was removed last
month to escape iufection. Of late the
quarantine rules have been relax-ed, ow
ing to the fact that there- have been no
near cases in the city, and officers from
headquarters have been in the habit of
coining to Santiago daily, returning to
healquarters at night. Major Harrison
has been isolated, but not brought to the
yellow fever hospital.
Lynched for a Harder
Fi ltox. Ky., Aug. 20. "Squab" Bolin,
colored, was hanged last night by a mob.
Three weeks ago Bolin and another negro
named Henry Stewart robbed Gail Ham
ilton of f 13 and then shot and killed him.
Bolin escaped at the time, but Stewart
was captured aud hanged by a uiob the
night fler the murder. Blin was cap
tured yesterday at Milan. Tennessee, and
brought here last nigbt by officers. Be
fore they could place him in prison they
were surrouudad by the mob, which
lynched Bolin.
Anti-Somite EioU in Farii.
Paris, Aug. 20. One thousand anar
chisu, under the leadership of Sebastian
Faure, assembled in the Place de la Re
publique this afternoon aud made an
attack on the anti-Semites. The police.
w ho charged to clear the streets, were
met with a severe resistance.
A police commissary and an inspector
attempted to arrest some rioters carrying
a red flag, whereupon the mob beat them
down aud pounded them with cluba. A
u umber of shots wi re fired by the mob.
The commissary was hit by a bullet
and the inspector fatally beaten. Four
police were slabbed. The police were
driven away but returned, arresting
Faure.
Mobs afterward marched on aud sacked
the churches of St. Maur aud St. Joseph.
They tore down altars, pulpits, sacred
pictures and holy vessels and threw them
into l h street. The mob failed in an
attempt to burn the churches. St. Xicho
hiV church was also sacked and the
interior desecrated.
Police and cavalry charged the mobs
but failed to prevent the assaults on ths
churches. There are rumors of further
arrets of plotters agaiusl the govern
ment.

Charf ed Vi'Ji tttkracert .
Washington, Pa., Aug. 13. Sensa
tional developments were added to the
fatuous Hazlett embezzlement case here
when Colonel J. B, R. Streator, of Wash
ington. Colonel J. C. Kay, of Pittsburg,
and Fred Emery! of Miileboro, this
county, were ordered by the court to be
arrested on a charge of embracery and
conspiracy.
Major Hazlett, a banker, who had forty
indictments for embezzlement against
him, was acquitted on one charge last
May. The district attorney, in open court,
alleged that the jury had been tampered
with. The court ordered an investiga
tion, and yesterday, as a result, the grand
jury found true bills against Streatoi,
Kay and Emery.
It is alleged that these uien went to a
hotel w here the jurors were stopping aud
brought influent to bear on one or more
of them whereby Hazlett was acquitted.
Streator is one of the best known men
in the i ennsylvania National Guard,
having formerly been lieutenant-colonel
of the Tenth Pennsylvania.

Dewey's Thirty Chinamen.
Xew York, August 19. A bill is to be
introduced in the next Congress to give
citizenship to the thirty Chinamen em
ployed by Admiral Dewey at Hongkong
to work on the war vessels as cooks, mess
men and general all-around kitchen-men.
Tbey worked faithfully at Manils and are
anxious to become citizens of the United
States. Some of them have written to
friends in Chinatown inquiring whether
or not they wii'. be expelled, under the
general expulsion law, when Dewey's
fleet comes home.
Lawyer Diuan said to day: "I do not
think there will beany objection to the
landing of Chinamen who were on board
ships that fought for the American flag.
There is no law by which tbey can be ad
mitted, and it seems to me that Secretary
Long, of the Navy Department, will have
all the say in the matter."
Boy ef 14 Seres a Train.
A Dead wood, 8. D., dispatch says: The
lives of teachers were saved from possi

ver. The teachers liadbeen attending the
State Convention at Hot Springs, and
boarded an excursion train bound for
Spearfish Canyon.
Just as the train was about to enter the
canyon it was flagged by joung Beaver,
who notified the trainmen that the track
was obstructed by a horse that had fallen
through the ties of a near-by trestle.
When the facts were learned by the ex-cuj-siouUts
the boy was lionized. Presi
dent Brown, of the State Teachers' Asso
ciation, made a fitting speech, much to
the embarrassment of the hoy, after which
be was presented with $10, which he at
first refused to accept. Then Doctor Dan
iels presented him with a course of edu
cation in the State Normal School at Mad
ison, Wis. The boy will start there in the
fall.
Ths Dreyfns trial.
The event of the day in Europe is the
retrial by court martial of CapC Albert
Dreyfus, whose conviction of high trea
son by court martial in 1SC4 has aroused
the sympathy and excited the interest of
the civilized world, because it is believed
to have been an atrocious wrong, accom
plished by perjury, forgery and out
rageous bias by the court against the
prisoner. Mobs in France have been
making attempts to reinflame the popu
lace against the hapless victim of in
justice merely because he is of Jewish
birth. His leading attorney, Labori,
was shot by an assassin on Monday but
is living and will probably recover.

Colonel McClnre Gives the Democracy a
Shock by Predicting ths Triumphant
Election of ths Republican Candidates
Before They Are Kamed.
Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburg. Aug. 22. There Is a
great crowd of stalwart Republicans in
town, all eager to be on hand when the
state ticket is nominated on Thursday
next. It is going to be a typical Re-
ruhlican gathering, full of enthusiasm
party fervor and patriotism. The
streets are already thronged with a
good natured. cheering crowd, with the
Dartisans of the several canaiaaies an
an i tons to make a demonstration in
favor of their respective favorites. The
hotels and other public buildings and
many business places and private resi
dences are gaily decorated with flags
and bunting, and on the sidewalks an.l
tn the hotel lobbies and the headquar
ters there are many soldiers, some of
them in full uniform, fresh from Camp
Meade, which is hut a few miles down
the road from this city. The presence
of these military men, among them are
many who served in the Cuban and
Porto Rican campaigns and have since
been mustered out from the federal
service, is full of significance. It means
that they Are all interested in the
work of the forthcoming convention
They expect to see one of their com
rades in arms honored by the Repub
lican party of the old Keystone state
next Thursday. Tbey have heard of
the proposed nomination of Lieutenant
Colonel James Elder Harnett, tne act
ing commander of the famous "fight
ing" Tenth regiment, and they are
here to show their interest in him and
their desire to see him named for state
treasurer.
The nomination of Colonel Barnett
Is now assured. And that he will
sweep the state by an immense ma
jority is certain. His regiment will
reach Pittsburg in a few days, ani
there is no doubt that a great ovation
awaits them. As to the balance of the
ticket, Joslah R. Adams, of Philadel
nhla. for the superior court, has prac
tically a walkover, and for Justice of
the supreme court J. Hay Brown, of
Lancaster, is In the lead. Judges
Anhiba!d. Morrison. White and Wal-
luce and former Attorney General Pal
mer are also proposed for supreme
judge.
STALWARTS IX CONTROL
The convention will be absolutely In
the hands of the stalwart element of
the party. The regulars, with the is
sues clearly defined, carried the prl
meries by overwhelming majorities
wherever the insurgents put up can
didates, with tne exception of in about
three counties outside of Allegheny
and Philadelphia. In Allegheny no ef
fort waa made to dispute the power of
the Magee-FIInn organization to namo
the delegates in the districts which
they usually carry, and in the Quaker
City there was an agreement which
gave to the Martinites a certain num
ber of districts without a contest.
though this number was much smaller
than the Martin men claimed.
The outlook for the election of the
whole ticket by unprecedented ma
jorities is most gratifying. The Demo
cratic party is demoralized. The soun.l
money men have bolted Creasy, the
free, silverite who was placed on the
ticket for state treasurer by the orders
of Colonel Guffey to please the Bryan
itcs. While the disgruntled insurgents
have been praising Creasy, in the hope
of compelling the stalwarts to show
them some consideration at the state
convention, they all know that Creasy
Is not a rote winner and that he will
not have his own party vote back of
him on election day.
Some idea of the feeling aa to th4
prospects of a sweeping Republican
victory in Pennsylvania this fail may
be gleaned from an editorial which
Colonel A. K. McClure printed in the
Philadelphia Times last Friday.
While this publication was overflow
ing with unusual frankness it was re
ceived witn outbursts of disapproval
and disappointment from the I)emo
cratic leaders and sympathizers. It
was the first candid statement of fact
as to Pennsylvania politics that has
been gotten from a newspaper carry
ing the Wanamaker advertisement in
Philadelphia for many days. All these
journals are Industriously telling their
readers what a great man is Creasy,
and how the people are falling over
themselves to get into line to vote
for him. It is the same old story that
was heard throughout the campaign
for poor old Mr. Jcuks. who, it will
be recalled, ran for governor last year,
with the full prestige of the advertis
ing subsidized newspapers booming
him daily and all the other influences
of the insurgent Republican organiza
tion at his back. Mr. Jenks now knows
the value the people place on these bar
gain counter organs and what influence
they do not possess.
M CLURE S CANDID ADMISSION.
With this whole choir daily harp
ing on Creaseys strength, it is. in
deed, refreshing to read Colonel Mc
Clure's breezy and convincing way of
brushing theru all to one side.
In discussing the probable nominees
of the Republican state convention
Colonel McClure said:
"The nomination for state treasuj-ei
6haped itself. It happened to come
Quay's way. and in that be was for
tunate. The record of the heroism of
the Tenth regiment in the Philippines
stands out single from all the others
alike iu sacrifice and achievement in
the bloody conflict with a. barbarous
foe and nearly climate in the far easr.
Had Colonel Hawkins lived he would
likely have preferred to take his seat
In the senate to which he was elected
two jears ago, but if he had chosen
to piefer the nomination for state
treasurer no political combination!
could have prevented it. His sad deatn
left Lieutenant Colonel Barnett aa the
only -surviving ofUcer of the gallant
Tentli who has had active participa
tion in politics, and at no time since
the death of Colonel Hawkins has his
nomination for state treasurer depend
ed upon anything but his willingness
to accept it- Some of the Republican
leaders wcula prefer anothei. but
knowing that they might as well bay
the moon as to start a tight against
him, his nomination will be made with
practical unanimity, and it is most un
fortunate for Democratic Reformer
Creasy that he has to buck against
the buzz-saw record of the glorious
Tenth regiment."
WILL P.2 A CLEAN SWEEP.
"It go without saying." continued
Colonel McClure. after making com
plimentary references to J. Hay Brown
and Josiah R. Adams, whose nomina
tions for the supreme and superior
courts, respectively, he predicts, "that
the Republican state ticket will be
elected. The people would willingly
Strike a revolutionary blow if the De
mocracy of the state commanded the
respect it once did as a minority party,
but the independent leaders are un
willing to develop their lines and
strength in an off year battle to aid
the Democrats In thsir visible decay.
"The election, therefore, will prac
tically go by default because the people
of Pennsylvania, regardless of factional
interests or prejudices, believe that a
loyal support Is due to the government
In favor of the policy inexorably shapej
for the republic by the war with Spain.
There can I no Democratic victories
in loyal states until there shall be a
Democratic party that does not defame
its own record of nearly a century in
favor of extending our possessions and
maintaining honest money."
The Pittsburg Dispatch, which op
posed Governor Stone in the last cam
paign. Is not giving the insurgents
much encouragement. Commenting
upon Barnett's letter in refusing the
colonelcy of the Tenth regiment, It
ays: I
"The reason which Lieutenant Col
onel Earaett gives will be recognized
nrnmu tnu
nr i ii a
U h thoroughly good one. M a-vi
brother officers dwirt that th Tenth
shall be known as Colonel Kkln
regiment during the full time of Its
federal service. It may occur to some
that Barnett's dwisiwi may deprive
him of the ran of colonel only for a
short time and that be is certain to
attain that position as soon as the
regiment is reorganized as a command
of the National Guard of Pennsylvania.
There is little doubt, however that
Barnett has put aside the only chance
he will ever have to become colonel
of the Tenth regiment. It seems to
be assured that he will be made the
Republican nominee for state treas
urer and that he will thereupon retire
from the military service. He puts
aside the office for good and his sac
rifice is. therefore, greater than that
made bv his subordinates of the staff,
w ho are Justly expectant of promotion,
if tln-v desire it. in the National Guard.
"It is one of the pleasing revelations
of the latter that, while Colonel Haw
kins and IJeutenant Colonel Barnett
were considered opposing candidates
for the nomination of treasurer, and
while politicians here at home were
spoliating on the feelings of rivalry
that must he animating those two men
they remained the most cordial of
friends, facing the perils of war as
brothers in spirit as well aa in arms
The words of admiration and love of
Hawkins tittered by Barnett have a
rinn of the true metal in them.
"Lieutenant Colonel Barn'tt's letter
shows that Colonel Hawkins was
wounded bv his failure to receive a
promotion for hU services in Luzon,
such as was gran'.ed to most of the
colonels of the volunteer recinients in
that campai.Tn. He did not desire this
promotion for his own sake, but his
failure to obtain it made bini fear that
the people of Pennsylvania might be
led to think that he had not fulfilled
his whole duty in the service of his
country. This fear was more bitter to
the true soldier than the disappoint
ment of a personal ambition. Lieuten
ant Colonel Barnett evidently shares in
the chagrin resulting from this neglect
to promote a deserving officer, for he
says: "The laurel wreath came to
others, but not to him. It is not yet
understood in this state why Colonel
Hawkins was 'passed by,' as Barnett
puts It. but it will be known some of
these days. The people of Pennsyl
vania have a right to know, for they
have the utmost confidence that it was
not by reason of any shortcomings on
the part of the Tenth's brave colonel."

Tromsok, Norway, Aug. 17. Walter
Wellman and the survivors of the Polar
expedition led by him arrived here this
eveuirg on the steamer Capel'.a, having
successfully completed tlioir explorations
iu Franz Josef Land.
Iu the autumn of is: an outpost call
ed Fort McKinley was established in
latitude 81. It was a bouse built of rocks
and roofed over with walrus hide. Two
Norwegians, Paul Bjeervig aud Bert
Bentzeen, the latter of whom was with
Xansen ou the Era in, remained there.
The main party wiutered in a canvas
covered but called Ilarmsworth house at
Cape Tegethotf, on the southern point of
Halls island latitude W). On reaching
Fort McKinley last spring Mr. Wellman
found Bentzeen dead, but Rjoervig, ac
cording to promise, had kept the body in
the bouse, sleoping beside it through
two months of Arctic darkness. Not
withstanding his terrible experience the
survivor was safe and cheerful.
The Wellman party found new lauds
north o' Freedom island, where N arisen
landed in 1&6. Wellman, while leading
the party northward last March, fell into
a suow-covered crevasse, seriously in
juring one of bis legs and compelling a
retreat. Two days later the party was
roused at midnight by an icequake under
tbeui, due to pressure. In a few momenta
many dogs were crushed and the sledges
destroyed. The members of the expedi
tion narrowly escaped with their lives,
though they managed to save their sleep
ing bags and some dogs and provisions.
On Mr. Wellinan's condition becoming
alarming, a- inflammation set in, the
Norwegian dragged him on a sledge by
forced marches nearly 2n0 miles to head
quarters, arriving theie early lt April.
Wellman is still unable to walk and will
probably be permanently crippled. He
found no trace of the missing aeronaut,

PARTY HARMONY

mm (ill HE FROST.
The Kew Mxyor of the Quaker City Shows
Force of Character in Politics and
in the Performance of His
Official Duties.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. Aug. 22.-Tiie Republi
can county conventions were held in
ths city today, and they carried out
the harmony program to the letter.
Wencel Hariuian was nominated for
sheriff. Thomas Dugan for coroner,
Wildcmore aud Hugh Black for coun
ty commissioners and Judges S. W.
Pennvpacker and ri. J. McCarthy were
named to succeed themselves. T he lat
ter is a Democrat, aud an appointee
tt Governor . Hastings. Both judges
will be named by tue Democratic con
vention, so that theie will be no con
tests over the judiciary at the Novem
ber election. There will, however, be
no real s-tr:f:gle over any place on the
tlikct. Every man in it will be elect
ed bv a big majority. There will be no
factional opposition to any one of them
and all elements ct the party will unite
In working for a large vote at the
lee'tion. The tlection of the candi
dates waa mad'i after many confer
ences or the leaders of the contending
factions with Mayor Ashbridge. who
has labored unceasingly to bring about
harmony in the party organization in
this city. He has succeeded in a re
markable degree. The prosqective
nomination of Lieutenant Colonel Bar
nett for state treasurer is well re
ceived In this city. A number of the
young soldiers of the Spanish-American
war. who volunteered from this
city, have gone to Harrisburg to work
and cheer for ftarnett. Among them
are the active spirits in the movement
for the organization of the proposed
"Barnett battalion," which is to be
formed after the adjournment of the
state convention and to take part in
the campaign.
ASHBRIDGE MAKING A RECORD.
Ashbridge Is going to make a record
for himself as mayor of this city. He
has already Impressed his personality
upon the community by his independ
ence and his businesslike way of going
about things, lie will not permit him
fcelf to be dictated to by the so-called
Republican newspapers that never find
anything good in anything that any
official dues, unless he is of the David
Martin faction In local politics. Now
the mayor wants it known that he
represents no faction of the Republi
can party and that he proioses to con
duct his ofllre for the best interests of
the people. He has consequently made
himself a mark for the assaults of the
insurgents, and he is being misrepre
sented daily by the same newspapers
that go out of their way to attack Gov
ernor Stone, and when they cannot find
anything in his otlicial acts to eriti
clre, they assail him personally. Mayor
Ashbridge has served notice on the
editors of certain papers that if they
go one inch beyond the line of proper
and h-gltmate criticism he will proceed
against them in the criminal courts.
T am not thin skinned." remarked
the mayor a few days ago, "but there
Is a limit to what I will stand. I do
not propose to be bulldozed into doing
what I do not think is right, and when
I conclude upon a policy I shall carry
it out. despite these newspaper attacks,
the political character of which the
people are fully familiar with."
PENNSYLVANIA FIRST IN CHARITY
The new mayor Is a worker as well
aa a fighter. He showed this In the
masterly maner In which he responded
to the call of the secretary of war for
supplies for the stricken people of Porto
Rico. He at once put the full force of
his administration to work to have
Philadelphia make a prompt and gen
erous res;onse to the appeal for aid.
He remained at his office until after
midnight while this- work was under
way. core-fponding with the officials of
the war and navy dwpartnients and en
listing the assistance of leading and
public spirited citizens of the city and
state The arrival of the Panther, the
transport sent by the national govern
ment to this city to take the supplies
to the stricken people, found the
warves filled with provisions ready to
be loaded on board and shipped with
out delay. Mayor Ashbridge at once
got In touch with Governor Stone and
soon had the supplies so kindly ship
ped by the residents of interior towns
of Pennsylvania, diverted from New
York, where they were to go under
the first notice sent out, and brought
direct to this city where they were
started off as the first shipment from
the Keystone state.
READY FOR THE ENCAMPMENT.
Another evidence of the up-to-aate
methods employed by Mayor Ash
bridge is shown tn his management of
mature in relation to the comine na
tional encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic. This has Involved an
Immense amount of work. It has meant
the collection ot lmge sums of money
to meet the enormous expense that Is
being Incured In the public decorations
and the proposed entertainment of dis
tinguished visitors. Mayor Ashbridge
has been in constant communication
with the committees of the Grand
Army and has been of inestimable
assistance to ttem in many ways In
carying put their various plans. He
will surely size up to all the require
ments of the position of mayor during
the encampment next month. He Is a
fluent and forcible public speaker, and
his patriotic addresses have been heard
In nearly every school house in this
city at flag raisinss or similar occa
sions. IT'S DIFFEDENT
