(Special Correspondence.)
Hnrrisburg, May 23. And now the
party wreckers, who still have the ef
frontery to style themselves Republi
cans, are demanding that the governor
shall call an extra session of the legis
lature. They go eo far as to threaten to
appeal to the courts to compel him to
obey their behests. The newspapers
carving the Wanamakcr advertisement
in Philadelphia and wher political
policy is controlled by this immense
business patronage, have started in to
malign the governor and to endeavor
to create sentiment apainst him for
his courageous action in using his veto
power to bring the expenditures of the
state down to within the revenues and
to protect the credit of the common
wealth by advocating a reduction of
the bonded debt of the state, and, if
possible to wipe it out entirely before
the enr- ot his term. These are the

syndlcr,' attacks on Governor Stone,

their i ' i se ns they did in their pre
vious e ' - rts. The people are wide
awake tr the influences back of these
papers it.iI they also know how un
called t end unfair are the criti
cisms ? the governor. They know
that G venor Stone time and again
appeal"r. to the insurgents in the leg
islature to drop factional politics and
consider (he interests of the people
without partisan bias. He made a
number ot recommendations, pointing
out the needs of the state, the abso
lute necessity for raising revenue to
meet the deficit in the state treasury,
and to the fact that unless they did
so there would have to be a general
cutting down of all the appropriations.
No attention was paid to these warn
ings from the governor. The insur
gents by combinations with the Demo
crats defeated nil the revenue bills
which the governor recommended and
then helped to pass immense appro
priations when they knew there would
not be funds to meet them should the
governor sign the bills.
Governor Stone, confronted as he was
by a condition for which he was not
responsible, bravely faced the issue
and cut down appropriations right and
left. He was obliged to strike out the
,r.00,000 Item which wns put in the
school appropriation bill for the an
nual purchase of text books. This ac
tion seems to have stirred up the book
trust agents all over the state and
they have joined with the insurgents

Hut there will be no extra session.
Governor Stone was too brave a sol
dier in the civil war to be intimidated
now by a band of political guerrillas.

people also appreciate the fact. Some
of the members of the legislature who
are clamoring for an extra session
may not be actuated by a desire to
get hold of the fDOO which each mem
ber would pet in additional salary, if
an extra session were called, but they
would get it all the same. The peo
ple, who would have to foot the bills,
with the extra expense of clerk hire!
p-inting and the wages of an arm
of minor employes of the house, are
not at all anxious for the reconvening
of the legislature. They have had a
sad experieme in that direction.
The people remember the scandals
that followed the calling of the extra
session of the legislature by Pattison
and they do not went a repetition of
this unsavory record.

money for school books, which has
gone to enrich the book trust.
PRICES OF BOOKS EXORBITANT.
"And when the people look around
them and find that some county super
intendents, school teachers and prin
cipals have been the trust's agents,
they will know what we mean when
we assert that money has been ex
pended In a profligate way for books.
"I was a member of the house when
the additional million was added to
help buy books under the newly-enacted
free text book law, and It was
then understood to be for that purpose
only, although continued in 1897. It
was not Intended that this should be
so. I am glad to see that the governor
took the book trust by the neck, and he
deserves applause Instead of condemna
tion. I would stand for eveu a larger
public school appropriation If given
the opportunity, and under propercon
ditions I am confident the public
schools will not find a closer, firmer
friend than the soldier governor.
"It must be nauseating for the
public, tired and disgusted with the
Democrats and Insurgents of the last
house, who wnsted time and hundred!
of thousands of dollars In blocking
legislation, to hear this yelp from be
hind the wagon. But the insurgent
newspaper bureau Is out to break and
destroy by fusion, bolting or party
wrecking, and it is to be expected that
they should find fault with the gov
ernor and denounce any who may ac
quiesce In so bravely meeting the
school appropriation exigency. The
people should stand by the governor.
He did not cut out the million dollars
because he wanted to, but because It
was demanded by emergency existing
at this time. He and every one else
wants the schools to have liberal ap
propriations, and they will again get
more than they have received from
revenue laws enacted without Demo
cratic or insurgent help.
"Had Governor Stone considered his
own comfort and looked upon this
matter from a selfish standpoint, he
would have signed the bill. That he
did not is the best evidence of l.is
manly spirit, his devotion to the In
terests of the people and his regard
for the credit and honor of the com
monwealth. Any coward would have
appended his signature to thlsmeasure
and let the future take care of Itself,
but It required a brave man to call a
halt and bear the brunt of the assault
which he knew was Inevitable."
STANDS BY THE GOVERNOR.
President Alberton, of the State Col
lege of Pennsylvania, whose Institu
tion suffered through the insurgents'
defeat of the governor's revenue bills,
because the appropriation had io bo
cut, while expressing regret at the re
duction In the appropriation for his
college, says he believes the governor
acted In perfect good faith and with a
purpose to deal as fairly and consider
ately as possible with all the condi
tions ot a perplexing situation.
"The governors determination to re
duce the large outstanding floating in
debtedness of tne state," declares Pro
fessor Atherton, "must commend Itself
to the judgment of every citizen and
the State College is willing to take its
share of cutting until the finances ot
the state are hi better shape.''
HOW WAGNER GOT HEAT.

Hero Is nn anecdote of Wagner's early
life, as related by Liszt: ' Wagner, Bulow
and I wcro all quite young when wo lived
together in Lcipsic nnd had a good time
that Is, I enjoyed myself, hut Wagner was
already fermenting with his political and
philosophical Ideas, and our prosaic cir
cumstances offered little ground for the
Idealists of tho future. Wo called Bulow
'Kritikus,' and we, especially I, always
feared his sharp tonguealittle. Of course
all of us had little money, but Wagner put
our slender purso to great strains. IIo
lould not bear money worries, and we let
him feel them as little as possible.
"Once, after a long nutuinn, it lecnine
cold suddenly, nnd Wagner with his
'nerves' suffered from the sudden change
In tho temperature. IIo demanded a heat
ed room at once. For two whole days tho
debato raged between him and Uulow as
to the Immediate purclmso of wood with
our reduced purse.
"I was not asked, Ijocmiso Bulow knew
that I would yield, but be, as treasurer,
contended that it was ridiculous to buy
wood In tho month of September. 'But I
am freezing, ' said Wagner, in a rage, to
which tho inexorable Bulow suggested
that ho go out and get warm by running
or warm himself by bis muse. Ijiughing
at his cheap, spiteful advice, Bulow and I
went out, but when wo returned, after two
hours, wo woro thunderstruck to find
Wagner in tho room heated to suffocation.
Ho sat at his writing table deep In bis
work. His face was red.
" 'Where' began Bulow, but tho words
stuck In his throat, for a glanco around
tho room showed him how Wagner had
helped himself Several chairs and our
work tablet) lay on tho floor, permanently
crippled. Wagner had cut off their legs
and made tho liro wit h them. Bulow was
speechless with rage, but I stood at tho
door and laughed till tho tairs caino at
this ingenious way of helping oneself.
Bulow lamented that we would have to
replaco tho landlady's chairs and tables
and that ho could not sit down or work.
"Wagner answered spitefully: 'I have
what I needed I Fellows like you, who do
nothing but go walking, need neither

The Men Who Deserted the Republi

Wrntli of tho People.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, May 23. Pennsyl
vania politics has not for years given
such an exhibition of stalwart Repub
licanism as has been shown lnthe vari
ous counties of the state since the ad
journment of the legislature. Those
who believe in the regularity of the
Republican organisation have on every
occasion at the primary elections re
pudiated the men who bolted the Re
publican caucus on tho United States
senatorship.
Philadelphia has had no delegate e'ec
tion since the legislature adjourned, but
there was a caucus of Republican mem
bers of councils in this city last week
which took very decided and signifi
cant action. Fcr several years the in
fluence of David Ma-tin has been prac
tically undisputed In councils and In
the various departments of city hall.
With Mayor Wnrwlck at his back he
executed quite as much power as did
the veteran James Mcw.ines in tho
palmiest days of the old gas trust. But
Ashbrldgo is mayor ncv: and things
are different. This was shown with
humiliating results to Martin at the
caucus of Republican members of
councils a few days ago.
MARTIN TURNED DOWN.
The caucus wns called to areo upon
a set of candidates for. tho beard of
port wardens. Martin had a number
of candidates. In olden times he would
have been able to elect them all. But
there was one in whom he was es
pecially interested, Freue-lrk H. Hess.
He was looked upon as Martin's first
choice. Those who were opposed to
his re-election thought it impossible
to defeat him. in view cf the Influences
that were being exerted in his behalf.
There was nothin; personal in the
opposition to Iles3 on his own account,
but thero waB undoubedly a de?p-seat-ed
feeling against him among the stal
wart Republicans who vro disap
pointed and chagrined at his action
last November. Hess was then the
regular Republican nominee for state
representative in the Seventeenth
ward. When the announcement came
of his withdrawal frcm the ticket,
just prior to election,, leaving John H.
Fow, David Martin's alleged Demo
cratic friend, without a Republican
competitor, there was a sensation.
It wns too late for the Republicans
to nominate a candidate rgainst Fow,
md Martin was roundly denounced for
permitting this to happen. With tho
certainty of depriving the Republican
party of a vote on the United Senator
ship in the legislature frcm this dis
trict, there was great indignation ex
pressed among the rank and file of the
Republican party. It was on the cards
for Fow to go to the legislature and
Hess did not stand In the way.
But the future came.
It came Thursday and Hew knowa
what It brought.
An amusing feature of the scenes In
the lobby near common council cham
ber Thursday at the Republican cau
cus was the presence of Fow. One
good turn deserves aii ther, but the
turn does not always come In polities.
Sometimes, when It dees come, the
recipient of past favors, like Fow, can
not return the same. Fow was morti
fied over the defeat of He.ss. lie did
not hesitate to criticise some of the
members of councils who had failed to
vote for Hess. But the deed was done
and Hess went down the sliding board.
And the friends of Lane and Dur
ham went to bed happy that night
While Martin now knows what Republi
cans here think of his action In per
mitting a Democrat to go to the legis
lature where a Republican could read
ily have been elected. Mayor Ash
bridge Is certainly standing by the
stalwarts. The bolters of the sena
torial caucus will have, to get In line
or they will be eliminated from poll
tics. OTHER BOLTERS .REPUDIATED.
Philadelphia Republicans In this
matter are simply in line with the reg
ulars in every county in tho state. The
latest develcpments in Bucks would
surely indicate this. The three mem
bers of the hotire from this couuty,
Messrs. Edwards, Winner and Wilkin
son, bolted the senatorial caucus and
voted with the insurgents from the
outset of the session. In the heat of
the fight, in order to bolster up the in
surgents' cause, these three men with
a grand flourish of trumpets Issued an
address from Harrisburg In whlcn
they declared that their actions were
Indorsed by their constituents and
that, in order to prove this, they there
with announced themselves as candi
dates to go as delegates to the Repub
lican state convention. They said they
confidently counted upon a vote of ap
proval of their course on the senator
ship from the Republicans of their
county. Sinctt they returned home
these bolters have awakened to the
real conditions. They find that the
people are not with them. Should they
be candidates at the primaries they
would be beaten by an overwhelming
vote. Fully cognizant of the sentiment
of the county, Messrs. Edwards, Win
ner and Wilkinson have Just Issued a
card over their signatures which
reads:
"TotheRepublicansof Buckscounty:
In the Interest of party harmony we
respectfully announce the withdrawal
of our candidacy for delegates to the
state convention."
The friends of tho senator, who had
made up their minds to accept the
challenge and muke a red hot fight
for their defeat, feel jubilant over the
bad. down, and say the handwriting
on the wall alone was the cause of the
three b-iters caving themselves from
an overwhelming defeat.

Republicans to the fate convention

t,i0a lutuiay seems to pursue
the bolters. In Bradford county ,wher
two out of three members of the homse
bolted the caucus, the stalwart Re
publicans elected a whole delegation
to the state convention, which may
explain why neither of the bolters
from this county attended the dinner
given to the Insurgents by boss bolter
Flinn. One- of them, Representative
Manley, Is credited with having de
clared that in view of political condi
tions at home he thought It better to
"lie low." In Mercer county the regu
lars had another decisive victory at
the primaries, much to the chagrin of
Representatives Martin and Caldwell.
The latter has since publicly announced
that he has retired from politics. Re
publicans of Butler, Blair and other
counties have also turned down their
caucus bolters.
Three counties held primary elec
tions on Saturday last, Cumberland,
Adams and Northumberland, and In
each of these counties dolegates to Uie
state convention friendly to the regu
lar organization wore triumphantly
elected.
QUAY HONORED AT HOME.
Colonel Quay has within the last
week been honored again by his neigh
bors of Beaver county. They elected
him without opposition as a delegate
to the Republican state convention. As
his colleague they sent as a state dole
gate former Congressman Townsend.
The Republican committee of Beaver
county met on the same day and
adopted resolutions commending Rep
resentatives Brieker and Harrold for
voting for the Republican caucus
nominee for senator and Indorsing the
action of the governor in appointing
Colonel Quay to the vacancy. The
Beaver county Republican convention,
which met on Saturday last, was one
of the most enthusiastic gatherings
ever held In the county. After nom
inating the county ticket the conven
tion adopted the following:
"Resolved, by the Republicans of
Beaver county, through the county
convention here assembled, that we af
firm the principles laid down by the
last Republican national convention.
That we most heartily endorse the ad
ministration of President McKlnley
and congratulate the people that
through his administration pros
perity has come to the whole nation,
and the standing of Americans is
higher today among the nations of
the world than ever before;
"That to our gallant sons from this
county, who are doing service under
our flag, we send love and greeting,
with the prayors that they may safely
return to homes, loved ones and
friends;
"That we approve the action of our
representatives in the legislature of
our state In their support of Matthew
S. Quay for United States Senator.
"That we Indorse the state adminis
tration and commend the action of
Governor Stone appointing M. S. Quay
to be a United States Senator;
"That we extend our congratulations
to those declared nominated, and
pledge to them the support of all Re
publicans in the county."
That would seem to indicate that
those who ought to know Colonel
Quay best appreciate him most.
OBSERVING WASPS.
They I tie I.nndmnrks to Guide Them
lliirk to Their 1'rejr.
Thero can bo 110 doubt whatever thnt
wasps havo landmarks by which they are
guided in their expeditions. Here is on
exceedingly Interesting account by Mr.
Belt, one of our contributors, of tho ma
neuvers of ono of these wonderful crea
tures: "A specimen of Pollstes camifex (I. e.,
tho sand wasp) Was hunting about for
caterpillars in my garden. I found one
about nn inch long and held itout toward
it on tho point of a stick. It, seized it Im
mediately and commenced biting it from
heud to tail, smm reducing tho soft lxidy
to a mass of pulp. It rolled up about one
half of it into a ball and prepared to carry
it off. Iking at tho time amid n thick
mass of a lino leaved climbing plant, it
proceeded, before flying away, to tnko noto
of the place where it was leaving tho other
half. To do this it hovered in front of it
for a few seconds, then took small circles
in front of it, then larger ones round tho
whole plant. I thought It had gone, but
it returned again and had another look at
the opening in tho dense- foliago down
Which tho other half of tho cuterpillar lay.
It then flew away, but must havo left its
burden for distribution with Its comrades
at the nest, for it returned in less than
two minutes and, making ono circle
around tho bush, descended to tho open
ing, alighted on a leaf and ran inside.
"Tho green remnant of tho caterpillar
was lying on another leaf lnsido, but not
connected with tho ono on which tho wasp
alighted, so that in running in it missed
It and soon got hopelessly lost in tho thick
foliago. Coining out again, it took on
other circle and iKiunced down on tho samo
spot again, as soon ns It came oppnsito to
it. Three small seed pods, which here
grew close together, formed the marks I
had myself taken to noto the place, and
these tho wasp seemed also to havo taken
ns its guide, for it flew directly down to
them anil ran inside; but, tho small leaf
on which tho fragment of caterpillar lay
not being directly connected with any on
tho outside, it again missed it and again
got far away from tho object of Its search.
It then flew out again, and the same
process was repented again and again.
"Always when in circling round it came,
in sight of tho seed pods, down it pounced,
Blighted near them and recommenced its
quest on foot. I wos surprised nt Its per
evernnco and thought It would have given
up tho search, but not so. It returned at
least half a dozen times and seemed to get
angry, hurrying about with buzzing
Wings. At last it stumbled across its
prey, seized It eagerly and, as there was
nothing more to coino bock for, flew
straight off to its nost without taking any
further note of tho locality. Such nn ac
tion is not the result of blind instinct, but
of a thinking mind, and it is wonderful to

good literature in convenient form and
at moderate cost, gaining on ever
widening circle of readers and there
by turning countless, minds from
thoughtlessness and possible trlvallty
into new channels In which they have
developed new force as a power for
good. From this turning of many
minds of home dwellers Into studious
thought bus resulted in a large meas
ure the Woman's Club Life and other
literary movements of today which
with the passing of time become ever
a more potent factor In the life of wide
spread communities.
Thus In this fitting observation of
the first quarter centennial of popular
education In America, Chautauqua
will receive a tribute from the com
monwealth cf minds whose boundaries
are known by no physical confines.
llnll of C'lirltt.
The year of Chautauqua's Quarter
Centenial marks another noteworthy
event in Us history In that it Introduces
with the erection of the Hall of Christ
an era of permanent public buildings
and of a definite scheme in the ar
rangement of tL.ir sites. This Hall
Is to portray in every significance the
life of the Master. It is to be con
structed cf terra cotta and white brick
and its outlines will be of classic pur
ity. The fund for Its erection came
from many Chautauquans. Miss Helen
Gould, a member of the Chautauqua
Literary and Scientific Circle of '99
giving It an Impetus by the unsolicited
gift of her check of J.VOOO. This was the
first manifestation of a deep Interest
in Chautauqua upon the part of Miss
Gould who has recently shown her
faith in the institution and her belief
in its necessity In the field of popular
education by a subscription of $25,000
toward Its endowment.
Thus the beginning of Chautauqua's
Second Quarter Centennial will find Its
absolute permanency not only sym
bolized by the first of a series of struc
tures built to endure the flight of years
but assured by the nucleus of an en
dowment fund now in hand and which
Is destined to grow until Chautauqua
hall have become Independent of mere
ly local or temporary conditions.
An rt-prrcrilfiitrit Atirntlmice.
The united attractions of this 25th
anniversary with its remarkable series
of lectures, entertainments and sum
mer schools, has already had Us ef
fect towards bringing what Is expected
to prove an unprecedented attendance,
and the general offices at Cleveland are
receiving Information of the coming
of parties from all over the country.
These parties usually number ten or
more, thereby securing special railway
rates and are largely from Southern
states In which interests In Chautau
qua seems to be rapidly growing-. .
The catalogue of the summer schools
has already been Issued, announcing
the work of that Important department
for 1S99'. The scope of this work may
be inferred from the fact that four
teen schools at Chautauqua offer one
hundred and twelve different courses
under seventy-three Instructors. The
lecture schedule for 1899 Includes the
names of many speakers distinguished
In the various departments of life.
Among them may be mentioned Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt, John Flske, Dr.
Edward Everett Hale, President G.
Stanley Hall, President John Henry
Barrows, Hon. John P. Dolllvar, Hon.
George R. Wendllng, ex-Governor
Robert Taylor, Bishop Charles B. Gal

Many old soldiers now feel the effects
of the hard service they endnred during
the war. Mr. Geo. H. Anderson, of Ross
villo, York county, Penn., who saw the
hardest kind of service at the front, is
now frequently troubled with rheuma
tism. "I bad a severe attack lately, "be
says, "and procured a bottle or Chamber
lain's Pain Halm. It did so much good
that I would like lo know what you
would charge me for one dozen bottles.
Mr. Anderson wanted it for his own use
and to su ply it to his friends and neigh
bors, as every family should have a bot
tle of it in their home, not only for rheu
matism, but lame back, sprains, swell
ings, euts, bruises and burns, for which
it is iinequalcd. For sale by all drug
