married me. Then my father, who was
a widower, met my ste'Mlaughter and

mother-in-law of her father-in-law and

my father my stepson. Then my step

"At one extremity of the field there
was raised on a slight elevation of the

with lanterns, streamers and some
large lanterns that did not seem par
ticularly uecessary, as the sun was
shining In full splendor. The inspector
t-xtraordinary of the Imperial army
and the principal civic and military
mandarins of the town were on the
platform, seated in armchairs before
little tables covered with tea things
and loxes filled with excellent tobacco.

"There Is a family In Virginia," says
Collier's Weekly, "the name of which
Is sjK-lled 'Euroughty.' but It is pro
nounced 'Darby.' This fact, familiar
to many Americans, happened to be
told by Miss Hay ward at a dinner In
London at which Mr. Kipling was
present, when he broke In: 'You have
saved my reputation by telling that
You are the first man, woman or child
who could back me up In it.'
"The explanation of the peculiarity Is
that the Derbys were an English fami
ly who settled In Virginia in the colo
nial days. One of the sons, the tradi
tional black sheep of the family, was
left a share in his father's will on con
dition that he changed his name. He
changed his written name to En
roughty, but continued to call himself
Derby.
"Ou hearing this explanation Mr.
Kipling said. I think I will change my
name to Smith.' 'You can spell it
Smith if you like,' was the reply, 'but
It will always be pronounced Kipling,'
a remark which caused him to look 'as
unfeigucdly pleased as a Iniy.'

Many visitors to the coast are sorely
puzzled when a boatman either refuses
to put off from the shore, or at most
go far from hind, oa a day when there
Is no sign of an approaching storm
and the water Is only moved by a Ions
and gentle rolling swelL
Argument Is of no avail, and If the
old salt Is pushed for a reason he will
only reply with some cryptogram Ic re
mark about "the ground sea," the
questioner then retiring more bewil
dered than before.
It Is hard to understand how such a
gentle swell can presage danger, but
to experienced eyes It gives a warning
that must be heeded. All along the
west and parts of the south coasts of
England and Ireland, as well as the
west coast of Scotland, uncounted
tales are told of ships which on a per
fectly calm day have been within a
few hours first caught by a gentle roll
of the water and finally thrown on a
rockbound shore by the dreaded
"ground sea."
To understand this curious marine
phenomenon it must be borne In mind
that out on the Atlantic waves are of
ten formed to a heigh of 40 feet. Driv
en before a heavy gale, these advance
at a tate of from 30 to 40 miles an
hour. Traveling at such a rate, they
soon get out of the wind swept
area. But even though, for them, the
storm is past they still roll on In fury,
their undulations often being felt S00
miles from the point of their creation.
In the region of the storm these
waves are fierce, breaking billows, but
as they get farther away they, settle
down into long, rolling ridges, which
travel onward In long, unbroken lines.
perfectly parallel with each other.
Out on the op-.-n sea these ridges of
ten stretch out for a distance of over
30 miles, and they travel In threes.
each successive wave being larger
than Its predecessor. The sight Is an
Imposing one.
The farther they propre the small
er they become in height, but this It
compensated for by the fact that their
motion Is communicated to the mass of
water below, until the roll can be de-
tec-ted fully CO feet under the surface.
This gives them the name of "ground
sea."
In this peculiarity their danger lies,
for when a becalmed ship is caught In
them, her draft, the resisting power
that enables her to ride out a storm
becomes the fulcrum which the liquid
mass uses to hurl her onward to de
struction.
On a calm day any sailing craft
caught In the "ground sea" near a
rocky shore is as good as lost, unless a
wind can spring up and enable her to
beat out to sea. Many a ship has uiet
this fate. The reason many more do
not get lost Is due to the gentle swell
that so deceives a landsman and warns
a sailor.
As the "ground sea" advances it
pushes a certain amount of water be
fore it- This also forms Into ridges,
like Its pursuer, but of less height and
approximately no depth.
Tike "false sea." as It Is called. Is lit
tie more than a rolling swell, but It
gives a warning of from 20 minutes to
two hours' duration, enabling a ship
to either run luto port, get out to sea
or securely anchor: while at the sea
side resorts the boatmen run close In
shore to the surprise of the "trippers.'
When It is rememliered that a wave
20 feet high, which Is often attained by
the "ground sea." strikes with a force
of one ton to the square inch, the ne
cessity for caution will be recognized.
All waves that come In parallel
ridges, however, are not dangerous, as
there is a "wind billow" that Is closely
allied to the "ground sea" In appear
ance. "Wind billows" are due to a heavy
wind blowing but a few miles off the
land, but as they have bad but a com
paratively short distance to travel they
have no depth. Consequently even a
rowing !oat Is perfectly safe on them
If projM-rly handled.
These waves usually appear when
there Is a comparative caliu near the
shore, their great poiut of difference
from the "ground sea." in apin-arance
being that their unbroken lines are
nearer and are all equidistant, not
traveling in threes.
Generally the "wind billow" does not
break Into foam, but occasionally this
happens when they are coming In
agaiust the tide. Then It Is hard to de
tect them from ordinary waves, the
product of a local windstorm. These
always break Into foam at their crest,

the various waves will save tourists

Railroad Tire.
A fact of some Interest in railroad
construction is the great diversity In
the number of ties used to the mile on
different lines, as well as In the size
and quality of timber. Thus, accord
ing to the construction details of the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
railway, the number of ties used on
that line Is 2.800 to the mile, three
quarters of these being chestnut and
one-quarter oak. while some roads use
2.000 only, or 2.000 to the mile. More
than H ier cent of the ties are cut 8
feet long. 12 per cent 9 feet and the
rest fcVi feet long; the nine foot ties are
used chiefly by the southern and gulf
group of railroads, where pine timber
is very abundant and cheap. The New
England roads have their ties cut from
five to six inches In thickness, while
the southern roads seem to prefer sev
en inch ties; the width of the ties like
wise varies from five to six inches in
New England to eight inches In the
central northern and the southern
roads. New York Sua.

Philadelphia, Not. 7. The Pharisee
la becoming a consplcous personage In
Pennsylvania politics. Not all of the
so-called insurgents can fairly be
styled Pharisees, though all the Phari
sees are insurgents. And It Is a fact
to be deplored that all of the Phari
sees would like it to be known that
they are Republicans. It ia. of course.
In accordance with their time worn
custom for the Democrats to lay claim
to every virtue and to pose as the em
bodiment of ail that Is good and
proper, but then they as a party are
not to be taken seriously. The Democ
racy have gotten into power time and
again upon glowing promises of great
reforms they were going to Introduce
and they have Just as often gone out
of power through failure to keep their
promises.
But to the Pharisees who style them
selves Republicans, who act with the
Republican Insurgents; that is. men
who go outside of the Republican or
ganization, who do not abide by the
will of the majority, after participating
In Republican primary or caucus or
convention. Not only do the Pharisees
act with the Insurgents, but they are
actually in league with the Democratic
machine and give corrfort and finan
cial support to the Democratic organ
ization. IN TWO CAMPAIGNS.
The Pharisees -ere conspicuous in
the last two state campaigns in Penn
sylvania. They were deep in the con
spiracy to elect a Democrat to the
governorship, and did all in their
power to help r.lcng the canvass of that
eminent citizen, but Bourbon Demo
crat, George A. Jenks. The Pharisees
over reached themselves in that cam
paign, and Colonel William A. Stone
was triumphantly elected by the stal
wart Republicans of the old Keystone
state. While still professing to be Ke
publicaus, the Pharisees came to the
front in the contest this fall. The
Republican state convention had no
sooner plated its candidates in the
field than the Pharisees rppeared,
lined up with the Bryanite Democrats,
determined to defeat the Republican
ticket, because, forsooth, they had not
been permitted to dictate the action of
the convention. With the issues fairly
defined, the Republican primaries had
been held throughout the state and the
lnsi'i-gents nere beaten five to one in
the election of delegates to the state
convention. There was no reason why
any good Republican should not have
accepted this result and abide by the
will of the majority. If matters did
not suit them their opportunity to even
matters up should come at the next
primary election.
SO-CAIXED BUSINESS LEAGUE.
Conspicuous among these disgrun
tied and dosperate party wreckers are
members of the so-called Business
Men's League, of Philadelphia.
Th8 mark of the Pharisee is upon
this orcanization. Its course in this
fall's canvass has accentuated this fact
It is a body of very limited member
ship, but in it is the embodiment of
Wanamakeii.sm and everything that
Implies selfish and personal politics of
the most pronounced type. .hile it
has but few members it has a corps
of what are known In the circus bus!
ne8 as "barkers, or in the realms of
Queer financiers as '"boomers" or "pro
moters. Their businesa is to keep
the name of the league before the pub
lic, to issue manifestos and to annoy
and harass the regular Republican or
ganizatlon of Pennsylvania and the
stalwart Republican leaders as much
as possible. To do this they have
practically made the league an annex
to the Guffey Democratic state com
mittee. The agents of both these or
ganizations work together, though not
entirely for the same end. Guffey's
men are seeking to disrupt the Repub
lican party, so that Millionaire Guffey
may be elected to the United States
senate. The league agents are busy as
sailing and maligning the Republican
leaders and the Republican organiza
tion, bo that a condition of affairs
shall be brought about which will en
able Millionaire Wanamaker to go to
the United States senate. Neither of
these contingencies is likely to happen.
The people of Pennsylvania prefer that
the stalwart Republican sentiment of
this state shall be represented In the
upper house of congress by a stalwart
Republican, and not by a Democrat or
a man who would wreck the Republi
can organization to satisfy his personal
ambition to figure in official life In
Washington.
PEOPLE KNOW THE GAME.
The people of Pennsylvania have
seen through the game that is being
played in the politics of this state.
They recognize the work of the Phar
isee in the assaults that were made
upon Colonel Stone when he ran for
governor, and the attacks that were
made upon Colonel Barnett during his
canvass for Hate treasurer just closed,
and which were the most contemptible
and cowardly witnessed in this statd
since the civil war.
The work of the Business Men's
League during the closing days of the
campaign this year was the most bold
faced exhibition of party treachery that
has ever been attempted in this city
by an organization which made any
claim to Republicanism. They first
sent out a glowing eulogy of Creasy,
the Bryanite candidate for state treas
urer. This circular contained no men
tion of Colonel Barnett. the Republican
nominee for that office. Then two diys
before election they distributed what
was In the nature of a last card, in
which they used as an argument wh
Republicans should not vote for Colo
no! Barnett. the fact that while he fill
rd the office of deputy secretary of th
rommoawe-ilta he had. in his offlcla'
capacity, certified the McKinley Citi
zens' ticket to the county commission
ers, which ticket getting on the ballot
lesulted in the election of Alexander
Crow, the reform candidate for si erif.
They let the impression go out thai
by this action thousands of vot? we-e
lost to President McKinley for presi
dent The fact wa3 that the printing
of this c.h'.mn 011 the ballot was to the
direct advantage to the polling of
large McKinley vote, as it gave the
lnder.enile!it citizens au o: portuullv to
vote for the reform candidate for sher
iff rsnd by the same marking of the Id
lot put in a vote fcr the McKinley
elMors. This circular Is regarded ss
the siHie.n document ever gotten out
in a political campaign.
THE PRESS BUREAU.
White the Business Men's League
was co-operating with the Democracy
fha Wanamaker newspaper Influence,
embodied in the Wanamaker owned
and the WunamcUer advertising con
trolled pspers in the city and vicinity.
ha-1 their columns filled with syndicate
political matter designed to descredit
the Republican candidates and help
along the Democracy. They attempted
to picture Creasy as a great reformer
and published in full the speeches
made to order for him to read as he
went from county to county.
The star political writers of the so-
called Republican newspapers were
sent with Creasy to help him make a
showing before the people, while cor
respondents were made to belittle and
misrepresent Colonel Barnett on every
opportunity. When the Democratic
papers began printing the scandalous
libels as to Colonel Barnett not having
been a brave soldier the Wanamaker
so-called Republican papers Joined In
the raid upon the gallant soldier of the
campaign in Luzon. They would not
print the statements of his comrades
wno voluntarily came to the front to
refute the charges and to tell how thp
saw Colonel Barnett lead his battalion '
into uie nre or the insurgents in the
Ihillpplnea and in every way conduct
himself as a courageous and manly of
ficer should. No mention was mart. f
the fact that while Colonel Barnett was
fizhUng for hla countrr'a flat and ioa-
or in the far off Orifcflt. the Wana
maker cor tracts with the government
for supp:h!8 f"r ne artnr were nlllns
the coffers which were to be drawn
upot- later to help along a dastardly
campaign against one of the most un
justly manned and misrepresented
soldier of the Keystone state.
But the reople have memories, and
the day w ill come w hen there shall be
a reckoning.

So Says Mr. Beacoa to Critics cf
the State Treasury.
THE G0VSH0K'3 POPCLAEITT.
Colonel SUa. tha Sinn aa AIwaJ"a
Waa. Is Making Good
Exeontteo,
(Special Correspondenca.)
Rarrlsbure. Nov. 7. A fact that waa
brought out conspicuously In the state
ramttalra Just closed Is tnat me it-
publican administration of tbe state
treasury has been such that Treasurer
Beacom cca defy tne critics of hia con
duct of the oCce to make them sub
stantiate any statement tney m7
rnttka de-rros-atory of his management
, nir-M. It haa been a familiar
mm Dai en cry of the Democracy that
the state treasury will not bear Inves
tigation. They were met upon this issue
before, when the Republicans in the
legislature had a committee appointed
nH hi the books of the office gone
over carefully and they found the bal
ances correct to a penny. The snme oiu
cry was raised this fall. Treasurer
Beacom went upon the stump and de
that ha had the books of his
office ready for Immediate inspecden
and he challenged the Democratic
nominee for state treasurer to come tJ
hla office and go over all the records.
BEACOM IS THE OPEN.
"I want to face the people," said
Tiwisnrer Eeacom. "I want to go
.mom them and discuss the state
finances; tell Just what sums I ha 3 on
deposit, where the money is, ana snow
them that the interest on every penny
is collected regularly and that the
state eeta it all. I want the people to
know that the Republican party passed
the laws which require the payment of
interest on state funds and that the
Republican party Is prepared, through
me, its representative, to make an
exact accounting of every dollar that
has been received and that has been
paid out since I came into the office. I
think we have spiked the guns of the
Democrats who have been making so
much noise about state Issues.
As with the state treasury, the sev
eral other departments on the "hill"
are being conducted upon the strictest
business prinrlplep. Reforms have been
instituted and the men who are In
charee of the departments are alt men
nf character and standine: most of
them are old soldiers, men who served
tfcelr cotintiy in its hours of prll, rd
who have been rewarded by the Re
publican party and the people at large
with positions of honor and trust.
GOVERNOR STONE "POPULAR.
Governor Stone, who when a poor
boy working on his father's farm ran
away and enlisted in the union army,
is making a roost satisfactory chief ex
ecutlve officer. He In touch with the
people. He does not show any change
In his manner of treating callers or in
giving those little personal attentions
to visitors which are expected from a
public official. He is the same today aa
he was before he was elevated to the
position of governor. He is one of the
plain people and his friends are proud
of the fact that he gives every evidence
of being the broad minded, liberal and
kind hearted Colonel Stone that he
was before he became governor.
Governor Stone is now engaged in
tb encouragement of the project to
protect the forest of Pennsylvania. As
one who followed a plow, he can ap
preciate the importance of saving the
forests of the state.
Major McCauIey. the auditor gen
eral. has introduced a number of inno
vations since he took hold of that of
fice and today declares that there Is
not a similar department in the
country that is operated upon more
careful lines for the protection of the
Interests of the taxpayers.
THE SEATING OF QUAY.
The next move on the political check
er board will probably be over the
seating of Colonel Quay in tbe United
States senate upon the certificate
issued to him by Governor Stone. Upon
this subject the New York Herald
through its Washington correspondent.
recently said:
"Matthew S. Quay will be seated by
the United States senate. Senator
Quay's credentials, given by the gover
nor of Pennsylvania, will be acceptable
to the United States senate by a safe
majority.
"This is the conclusion reached not
enly by Senator Quay's friends, but by
those who have made aa impartial
canvas of the situation. A senator who
has had some correspondence recently
with Vice President Hobart. who by
reason of his position has a better op
portunity of learning the individual
views of senators than any other public
man, tells me that Mr. Hobart is con
fident that Mr. Quay will be seated.
"in addition to this I understand that
a systematic canvass of the senate has
been made in two separate instances
one for Senator Quay himself by desig
nated friends and tbe other by George
Q. Cannon, of Utah, who has been
promised the vacant senator-ship from
that state by gubernatorial appoint
ment provided the senate votes to seat
Quay. As a result, both are understood
to be well satisfied that they will oc
cupy seats in the next senate.
"The canvass made by Mr. Cannon Is
said to have been complete with tbe
exception of Senator Hanna. He refused
to commit himself, but as he voted to
seat Corbett Quay is said not to be
worried by the way he will vote, and
Cannon s poll showing a majority of
two for Quay includes Senator Hanna
In the affirmative column.
"Details of these polls are not ob
tainable at present, and a verification
of them, even if published, will be dif
ficult, for the reason that a number of
the new senators who are Included in
Mr. Cannon's poll, when publicly
asked for their views, declare that theT
have not made cp their minds, and that
they desire to hear the arguments on
both sides of thb floor of the senate Le
fore committing themselves."
Oriental Haaaor.
Some of tbe similes used by oriental
advertisers are as remarkable for hu
mor and naivete as even those of tbe
Immortal Sam Weller. Here are one
or two sjKt-imens which have recently
appeared In eastern newspapers:
"Goods dispatched as expeditiously
as a cannon ball.
"Parcels done up with as much oar
as that bestowed on her husband by a
loving wife.
"Paper tough as elephant's hide."
"The print of our books is clear as
crystal: the matter elegant as a sing
ing glrL"
"Customers treated as politely as by
the rival steamship companies."
"Silks and satins smooth as a lady's
cheek and colored like the rainbow."

civil war. He was using as bis final
argument the Inability of women to
