CHAM DEPEV FOR COLONEL QUAY New York's Brilliant Senator Saya tho Beaver Statesman Will Be Seated. GOV. STONE MAYOB ASHBEIDQE. The Governor nnd l'hllndelpbla'i Jla.ror Wlil Co-opernfo In State Pol ItlonCowlp About Stnte Convention Mnttcn and tho Democrat and In Hursrnts. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, May 9. The possibil ity of President MeKlnley calling an extra session of congress may bring the United States senatorial problem in this state to an issue earlier than was anticipated. Should the president con vene congress in extraordinary session in the fall. Colonel Quay may be seated before the November election. Even many of his factional political oppon ents are now conceding that the Beaver statesman will unquestionably be admitted to the senate upon Gov ernor Stone's appointment. Chauncey M. Depew, United States senator from New York, is the latest of the members of that body to come out in a public statement expressing the opinion that there can be no doubt about Governor Stone's right to make the appointment under existing cir cumstances, and that he Is confident Colonel Quay will be seated by an over whelming majority of the votes of the members of the senate. THE STATE CONVENTION. The canvass for the election of dele gates to the Republican state conven tion has already begun In this city. In the last Republican state convention the delegation was about evenly di vided between the supporters of Mar tin and Durham, the latter co-operating with the friends of Colonel Quay. This time Martin will scarcely cut any figure outside of his own district Mayor Ashbridgn has taken a hand and will be found co-operating with the stalwart Republicans. He hates a kicker and has no time for the men who voted with the insurgents at llarrisburg Mayor Asnbridge has great admiration for Governor Stone and these two men are likely to become ery important factors In the politics of Pennsylvania should they continue to co-operate within the Republican organization. There has been no slate agreed upon by the Republican loaders for the of fices for 'which candidates will be nomi nated at the coming state convention. The convention will probably be hold during the last week in August. AS TO COLONEL H4WKINS. The news cabled from Manila that Colonel Alexander L. Hawkins, com mander of the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment, now In the Philippines, has been wounded in a skirmish w 1th the insurgents, has drawn particular at tention to him as a good man to be supported for the nomination for state treasurer. He la a valiant soldier of two wars. His record In the civil war Is of the best. His brilliant services in the recent crisis with Spain and his gal lant work now under way in the Phil " lpplnes, It Is argued, must command the admiration and applause of every American citizen. He has won tho hearts of his fellow Pennsylvanians. There is no honor in the gift of the citizens of this commonwealth, In the opinion of many leading men in the Republican parly, to which he is not entitled. The estimate his immediate neighbors have of him was Bhown when they gave him a unanimous nomination for the state senate, to which office he was elected during hU absence abroad with hi3 regiment. PREFERRED TO FIGHT. Colonel Hawkins preferred to re main with hi3 command, although urgently requested to return home and take port In the United States sena torial contest. He has not yet quali fied for the office of state senator. It is not known that he would accept a nomination for state treasurer. He la not a practical politician. Then, too, there Is some uncertainty as to wheth er he will reach home before the Re publican state convention meats. Those who are advocating his nomination propose that he be plared upon the ticket without waiting to hear from him. While the election takes place next November, the state treasurer will not be inducted into office before next year, so that there will be ample opportunity for Colonel Hawkins to do all the fighting that may be desired of him in the Philippines before that time. It is predicted that If his name Bhall go before the state convention his nomination will be made by acclama tion. His election would foliow with a whirlwind campaign by a tremendous majority. ANOTHER SOLDIER NAMED. While the suggestion of the nomina tion of Colonel Hawkins has been much talked about, there were some friends of Lieutenant Colonel J. E. Barnett, who in also with this iegl taent, who propose him for this office Like Colonel Hawkins, he is a resi dent of Washington county, and of the two is perhaps the best known among the active men of the Republican party lu view of the fact that he held the office of deputy secretary of the com monwealth at llarrisburg. Lieutenant Colonel Burnett is a good soldier, is Bffablo and popular, and would make Don't think you can cure that blight at tack of dyspepsia by dieting, or that it will cure itself.

Tho reports that Colonel Quay favors this or that candidato for state treas urer ore utterly without foundation. The Beaver statesman has expressed no preference for any one. He knows that his friends will bo In absolute control of the Republican state con vention, and he will cordially Indorse tny candidate upon whom they may unite. DEMOCRATS AND INSURGENTS. Tho Democrats are at sea as to what they are goir.j to do at their state con vention, which meets next month. Nearly every Democratic judge on the common pleas bench Is a candidate for the nomination for the supreme court vacancy, but there Is not much being done about the matter of selecting a candidate for state treasurer. Colonel Guffey, who was bete hist week, Is anxious to know what Flinn and the other Republican Insurgents are going to do in the coming campaign. Guffey thinks the insurgents should keep up the alliance they had In tho last legis lature, and turn In for the Democratic nominee for state treasurer. He will probably pick out one of the Demo cratic members of the house of repre sentatives with whom Flinn was In almost daily consultation at Harris burg last winter, and thus make a bid for the Insurgents' support. It makes litle difference what the bolters do at the coming election, the Republi can ticket Is bound to be elected. With a presidential election coming off next year, Pennsylvania' is not go ing Democratic this fall. HE GOT A CHANGE OF VENUE. lint the Lawyer Lout Ills Client In the Move, A good story is told of a Kansas City lawyer. Ho is nioro of a corporation law yer than anything else, but once In awhile ho has been called upon to show his knowl edge of criminal law. It was not so very long ago that ho was in Oklahoma, and ho undertook tho defense of a negro who had killed a white man. Tho feeling ngnlns'; tho negro was Intense, and it hud boon only through the most strenuous efforts of the officers that he had been permitted to live for his trial. It was very evident that an unprejudiced jury could not bo obtain ed in tho littlo place whero tho crimo was committed, and it was the intention of tho Kansas City man to ask for a change of venuo. After ho had worked on tho enso for soino timo ho ascertained that tho judge was going to deny anything like a change and that his man was to bo tried and hanged as soon as possible. Tho law yer thought lnngnnd hard over tho matter and finally hit upon a sclieino which ho thought would be successful In influencing tho court. By the lil)cral use of money he succeed ed In securing a dozen men who, when tho negro was brought into tho courtroom, were to cry: "Hang him! Hang him!" Tho lawyer thought that this would be evidence of the prejudice against his client that could not be overlooked by tho court. Tho day for tho trial arrived, and the defendant was brought into court. As soon as ho mado his uppcaranco a dozen shouts went up: "Hang him! Hang him! Hang tho black scoundrel!" Tho crv was taken up all over tho court room, while the attorney smiled to himself as ho saw his littlo scheme succeed; but, to his horror, tho cries redoubled in force, tho crowd surged in an irresistible wave toward the prisoner, and before It could be prevented tho negro was taken out and hanged to a convenient treo. The young Kansas City attorney now conlines himself entirely to corporation law and politics. l'ittshtirif News. A Cli Inn me Compliment.

The Republican state administration and the action of the majority of the Republicans in the last legislature are being sustained on every hand by the Republicans of Pennsylvania. Within the last week two more counties have gono on record In favcr cf stalwart Republicanism, by the votes of the rank and file of the party at the regular primary elections. The insurgents, who so loudly pro claimed during the sesion of the legis lature that they were acting In ac cordance with tho withes of their con stituents, are being rejected and re pudiated in every contest for dele-prto-s to the Republican state conven tion In which they participate. WORKED WITH DEMOCRATS. Tho vote In Brr.dfcrd county was especially significant. Two out of tho three iccnuera of iho houso of repre sentatives from that county, Edmus ton and Mnn'ey, bolted the Republican senatorial caucus, while the other member, Representative Lewis, voted for Colonel Quay to the end. The two bolters were notoriously misrepresent ing the sentiment of their county and wero told so at the tiive. They co rperated with the insurgents, and with the Democrats contributed to the serious cmiraMsmcat of Governor Stone's cdr.:'u;is!rRt.on. The defeat of the severs) prepositions for raising revenue advocated by Governor Stone seriously imperilled the appropriations tor public schools and wiped out com pletely all chances of the state ap prcpr.ating ueces.-nry funds to deserv ing charities of the commonwealth. The Democrats, of course, were eager to briug about this condition of af fairs, ui t:.cy wished to discredit the Republican r.dmii.ioiiation and tho legislature, as we.l, with its Republi can majority, in the eyes cf the people of tho state. These Republican bolters In order, for personal reasons, to de feat Colonel Quay for re-ciectlon to the United States senate played right into the hund3 cf the Democracy. That the Republicans of Bradford county thoroughly appreciated this fact would seem to be evident from their action at the primary election and in the ftenublicun county conven tion last weo'.t. '1 hey bowled out tne insurgent crowd cotv.pletely and elected a solid delegation to the state conven tion composed of stalwart Republicans who ere pronounced friendj of Senator Quay. STONE'S ADMINSTRATION IN DORSED. Tho county convention, which was largely attended, was quite harmoni ous. .Aftor the returns were read elect ing the tlclcgutes to the state conven tion there were chosen by a popular vote ti.o convention unanimously adopted a series cf resolutions. Aftei- rciifiirming the Republican na tional aud slate platforms and com meiv'. nh tr.e administration of Presi dent iliivinley and the- work of bravt soldiers who are defending the flag in tic- j'.pjeni crisis, the resolutions set forth: V commend Governor William A. Stone for his loyalty to 'he state's In terests and for his wise and patriotic lun.iaistratii :i of its affairs. "We hercjby denounce the efforts of the Democrats and dbaffa'ted Republi cans in effecting the defeat of revenue measures intc.idcd to replenish the state treasury, where',' many charit able institutions have suffered for the lack of funds to defray the expenses of their noble work.

It is queer how the Insurgents have had the notion that they really have represented a considerable section of the Republican party. Now that they have leisure to look around they will not be long in ascertaining what a blunder they have made. Men who have used their Influence at llarrisburg to wreck the Republican party certainly have no claim upon tho party. -They did not succeed In wreck ing the party, but they have succeeded In making political wrecks of them selves, and the party will do well to permit them to remain uuder the wreckage. That Is apparently what the Republi cans of Pennsylvania are going to do. THE GOVERNOR AT WORK. Governor Stone is still hard nt work upon the bills which were passed by tho last legislature and which wero left for him to act upon. He has shown courage and discriminating considera tion of these Important matters by wielding his veto ax with effect In knocking out a number of objection able bills that were allowed to go through the legislative mill during the closing hours of the session. The legis lature was not unusually prolific In turning out new laws, although there were a large number of bills of a purely local character that got through. WOMEN IN POKER. A Game That Chana-ed Two Dear Friends Into Deadly Kaemtea. Said a man of my acquaintance recently: "Do you know, I believe women would be tho most desperate gamblers on earth if they dared!" "Nonsense!" was my remark. "It's not nonsense," he argued warmly. "I've watched them, old and young, pret ty and homely, light and dark, and even in tho small games that their pockctbaoks and their consciences allow them to play their excitement In winning or losing Is something terrific." And he caused mo to do a littlo think ing on his side, though not for tho world would I havo admitted it to him. I remembered, a game of cards that caused tho separation of two of tho dear est and sweetest women in tho world three years ago. Of course it was poker. Poker seems to bo played everywhere, or was at that time, and this diabolical cluster of "fulls," "straights," "two pairs," '-throes of a kind," "flushes" and "fours" has caused, more misery and mado more mischief among tho women of this city than will ever 1 exploited! There were five of them in a fashionable boarding houso up town, and I, as a call er, made six. Rain had ruined a matinee proposition, there wns nothing to read, nnd dullness descended. "Lot's play poker," said Mrs. C. "Splendid!" wits tho general ejacula tion. Two of tho ladies had never played, but they were soon Instructed. Then it was discovered that there, wero no "chips." But a descent upon the cook produced UOO or 400 white beans, which Mrs. C. took charge of. "I'll bo Iwnker, "sho said as she counted out tho lieans In lots of 100 each. "We'll play fi cent limit and you shall huvn fCi worth." The two amateurs gurgled with amuse ment. "How awfully funny!" they said. "Why, wo feel like real gamblers." I declined to join tho game, believing thnt f 5 In tho pot was worth $20 in tho "jack pot," Tho game proceeded amid much nerv ous excitement, and many "Ohs!" and "Ahs!" and "Dear ines!" and remarks of that sort. "Why, isn't that a flush?" "Why, your hand wasn't as good as mlno. I think you're real mean." The somebody asked: "What good are four queens?" Whereupon all laid down their hands and tho inquisitive one gathered in all them was In sight, with tho remark: "I didn't havo four queens, but just wondered." At length there was a battle royal on between Mrs. C. nnd ono of the beginners. I happened to sit right behind tho lat ter and saw her hand. It consisted of three aces and a pair of kings. Nothing but "four of a kind" could heat It. Back and forth, back and forth, Ix't and "raise," more bets, more "raises," until tho holder of tho "full hand" had exhaust ed all her lcans and clamored for more, Tho banker gave her 100 moro and made a memorandum of it. Tho betting went on as fiercely as be fore, I felt liko giving tho "full hnnd" lady a hint that she was betting her hand too high, but of course could not do so. At last tho banker "called" and threw her hnnd on tho tablo. "Four sixes!" "Dear me!" sighed tho loser. "Ithought I'd surely win. What a lot I bet I Lucky it wasn't real money I" Mrs. C. started at her. "What do you mean?" "Why, it's lucky they were only beans." "You must 13 crazy, Mrs. B. Tho beans represent money. You owe me 8." "Why, you'ro talking nonsense." Mrs. C.'s lips grow very white. "Do you mean to say," sho asked, "that you didn't understand that wo were play ing for money?" "Of course I didn't." Mrs. C. swept tho beans into a recepta cle, dabbed tho cards Into tho tablo drawer, cast a look of withering scorn upon her late opponent and stalked out of the room.

Hcrr Bemegau has earned tho thanks of all housekiviH-rs for his long and exhaust ive inquiry iu regard to tho real vnluo of those substances hitherto upheld ns effica cious ns destroyers of roaches and othor domestic insect pests. Tho result has boon somewhat surprising, inasmuch as It has shown that many of tho most popular remedies on tho market aro practically of littlo use. Insects wero caught and kept in glass tulics, so that tho effects could bo closely watched. Fresh insect powder mado bugs a littlo uncomfortable for awhile, but they soon recovered and became ns lively as before, piarently none the worse for tho experi ence. When mixed with 10 ixt cent naph thizin, the powder killed a few of tho in sects only. Hydrogen hyperoxldo was a flat failure. Formalin was quite effective, but it. costs too much and has unpleasant effects on tho person applying it. Coal oil was deadly, but it has a had odor nnd is dangerous whero contact with flro Is pos sible. Herr Bernegnu finally decided that tho perfect Insect destroyer is turpentino oil, either alone or with naphthizin. Ho rec ommends that tho haunts of the Insects should be gono over with turK-ntlno oil and niiihthalin, applied with a bruth. The penetrating odor of tho solution chases t lie insects out of their hiding places, and a littlo sprinkling of tho oil effect ual ly disposes of them Whero walls are treated with tho mix ture they should bo freshly painted or calciniiiicd after it has soaked in. When the mixture 1ms Ihvii applied to IxhIs or furnititic. floors or iKiseboaiils, they should lx insir.iitly washed with a hot solution of curlsiUe soap (toi'i gallons of boiling Water add a quart of liquid carlaillo soup). To prepare the tiiriKMitiuo oil and naph thizin a quart of the oil should bo put into a half gallon jug with K)0 grains of naph thizin. The jug must lx set in hot water and shaken vigorously. To prepare car bolic acid roup common yellow potash soap nnd commercial enrlxilie ncld should ho heated together until a clear solution is obtained. Ships' Anehora. Ships' anchors cost from 5 to 7 cents a pound, so that a 0,000 pound anchor, which would bo a very large ono, would cost, even at the lowest priirj, about .'!00, and the hi,; ship that required an anchor of that sl.o would carry two of them. Tho two big anchors curried by n ship of, say, 2,000 tons would weigh from 4,800 to 5,000 pounds each. Tho anchors of merchant vessels nro painted or tarred. Whenever the vessel Is painted tho anchors aro painted also to preserve them from rust. But on yachts and various smaller pleasure craft galvan ized anchors aro used, which, of course, do not require painting, tlalvanlzcd Iron anchors havo been made for torpedo boats in tho navy; but, generally shaking, their use is confined to pleasure craft, A galvanized anchor costs nearly as much again us one not galvanized. The galvanising preserves the anchor from rusting and makes it more sightly in appearance, and it prevent the anchor from dripping rusty witter and so staining and marring decks or other surfaces with which It might come In con tint, New York Sun.

"Why won't you get up, my child?" ho asked. ' "Why, grandfather, didn't you tell ino to do what tho Bible says?" asked Dorothy. "Yes, certainly." "Well, it disapproves of early rising; says it's a waste of time." Mr. Gladstone knew his Biblo lxtter than most men, b.'.t he was not equal to Dorothy. For onco in his life ho was non plused. "You listen, then," went on Dorothy, in reply to his ciclnmntlnn of astonish ment, and, turning up her Bible, sho read tho second verso of tho one hundred and twenty-seventh psalm, laying groat em phasis on the first words, "It Is vain for you to risn up early."
