Jefferson and Jackson is understood to
bo a plaything for outsiders in. these
times. "
Spvrrkd on by trust king Havemey
er's statement, the Democratic newspa
pers are jumping into the discussionofthe
tariir issue with a vim which promises
to make free trade "paramount" in the
next campaign.
Eon, the first time in the memory of its
inhabitants, Cienfuegos has passed
through July without a case of yellow
fever. Now that the fover is stamped
out in Santiago, tho health ot Cuba is re
markably good for the season.
Gkn. Toral, who surrendered Santia
go, has been court-martialed and acquit
ted by ono vote. Toral was bottled up
with an exhausted army and would have
had no better luck than Cervero if he
had attempted to cut bis way out.
"It is surprising," writes Mr. Bryan
iu a newspaper article,"that any beliover
in self-government should favor forcible
annexation." Does Mr. Bryan think
that Jellersou committed an act of forci
ble annexation in tho Louisianna pur
chase? The consent of the new inhabi
tants was certainly not asked.
Uses man agrees with Havemeyer,
and that is Colonel Bryan, who is a self
confessed trust buster. Just how a policy
could be framed to meet the views of the
head of ono of the uiost audacious of
the robber class of trusts and Mr.
Bryan is not quite clear. Perhaps there
is something in Haveinyer's philosophy
Mr. Bryen does not quite understand.
This "secret dossier," which is so fre
quently rcfered to in the report of the
Dreyfus trial, is simply a secret bundle
of papers, the word dossier meaning a
bundlo or collection of papers. Of course
the public will sxperience a feeling of
relief when this becomes generally
known Blizzard. Yep, it's all right
now. But we couldn't have stood it
much longer.
Tim Iowa Republican platform has the
right ring : "There shall be no division
among us until all in arms against the
flag shall conf. ss its supreme rights and
honor, and shall know that, even in the
farthest east, it is a sign and promise of
equal law, of justice.and liberty through
out tho land, and to all the inhabitants
thireof." And every patriot will en
dorso this sentiment.
Ex-sksator W. II. Hyde of Ridway,
who represented this district in the State
Senate, sessions of '95 and '97, died at bis
home on Saturday last after an ill
ness extending over a numbor of years.
Mr. Hyde was one of the fort most citi
zens of Eik county, very popular with
all who know him, and deservedly so.
In his death the comunity loses one of
its most valuable citizens, which loss will
long be keenly felt. The faneral took
place yesterday and was largely attended.
"We have .lready two thousand miles
of Occidental fro.itage, with Alaska away
up north and Hawaii away out at sea;
and we couldn't get away from the world
movements in the Pacific if we would.
But we don't want to," says the LeuiH-
villo Courier-Journal. "We are there
now and we mean to stay there. We
shall be thore a century hence unless
some power turns up strong enought to
drive us out. No party that proposes to
lower the national record, or to trail its
standard In the dust, witl be sustained
by the people, or ought to be sustained."
How very true and perfectly pat are
these words from the Punxsutawney
Spirit: It would be laughable, were it
not for the deviltry they do, to read what
some of the country editors have to say
about Algerism, Otisism, Imperilism and
the Philippine question. Their clatter
bag is generally stuffed with the terms
and phraseology of some disgruntled city
exchange which, at first hand, is the pro
duct of a distempered croaker, but when
remasticaied by one of these wild-eyed
vilifiers, who has not even courage
enough to ask a subscriber for a year's
back dues on his paper, and who knows
uo more about the mistakes of the Secre
tary of War, the Philippine situation or
Imperialism, than a native Patagonian
knows bout the Concert of the Powers
or the itismemberinent of the Flowerv
Kingdom, their dolorous cant is as mean
ingless as the ribaldry of a flock of uiows.
Fortunatnly such publications are without
much lasting influence, for before the
evil they commit takes effect on anybody
but the writers, they run out of breath
and copy.
Til err's great howling now going on
In the Democratic and insurgent press of
the State over the decision of Judge
Weiss, of Dauphin conuty, which sus
tains Gov. Stone in his veto of tte pro
poned amendment to the constitution
passed by the last legislature. The prop
osilion sought to amend tho constitution
by providing that voting machines could
be used in this State, a mere whim of
some Cheap-John reformers, and which
the people would undoubtedly have vot
ed down as overwhelmingly as they did
the proposition years ago to amend the
constitution so as to do away with the poll
tax and thus cheapen the ballot. The peo
ple are not spoiling to amend their funda
mental law, if we are to judge from past
election figures, and they were not suff
ering for this lust whack at the constitu
tion. But what is worrying the Demo
cratic and insurgent press most is to
think that thev did not net a chance at
the State's exchequor In the advertising
of the proposed amendment. Hit a fol
low "where ho lives" and you'll hear
him whine every time.
Having an urgeut invitation to spend
Sunday, Aug. 6tb, with my family, who
are recreating at Fluvanna on Chautau
qua Lake, and incidently remembering
that Saturday the 5th was the 24th anni
versary of our wedding day, I arranged
my work accordingly and Saturday eve.
ning at 5:09 p. m. found me at the D. A
V. s. P. depot euroute for camp, as we
till call it in remembrance of the days
when we usod to pitch our tent at "Col
burns," to my mind the most beautiful
spot on tho lake.
The observant traveler is never at a loss
for interesting things and incidents to
amuse and instruct, and the short ride to
Falconer was enjoyed very much, with
one exception. The nude in art I enjoy
very much, but the nude on the banks of
the pond at Russell should be severely
dealt w'th.
From Falconer to the steamboat land-
ins: by street car is an inspiration of
itself. The firmly paved street the entire
distance swept clean as a floor shows the
enterprise of the tine young city of
Jamestown. They employ up to date
methods, keeping a corps of uniformed
sweepers constantly at work, the same
as in the larger cities. Jamestown is a
city of beautiful churches, many of which
can be ween in passing through.
At the boat landing I found a steamer
about ready to leave, and as my excur
sion ticket called "for any point on the
lake" I boarded the boat for Celoron,
though the bulk of the travel is by Btreet
car. The streetcar service is fine aud
the business done enormous. As we
steamed slowly up the crookeu "outlet"
tho breeze was decidedly chilly, and an
overcoat or wrap would have been com
fortable, which rominds me of the re
marks of a Pittsburg gentleman wbo
chanced to occupy a seat with me on the
train. Me called my attention to a well
dressed Jady wearing it fur trimmed
cape, wondering if that was the style in
summer up this way. He had never
been on Chautauqua Lake.
At Celoron I was met by the bride (of 24
years) and two boat loads of shall I in
vent a now word and say bride apples ?
The lake was beautifuily calm and clear
and a few minutes row brought us to the
cottage at Fluyanna.
Thus our camp is a camp no longer,
but a comfortably furnished cottage with
a veranda wide enough for a dining room,
for which we use it. The location is not
so desirable as some, but with one of the
finest springs of water I ever saw flow
ing by the door, and the ease of access
from Jamestown, either by street car to
Celoron or by train which stops within a
few rods of the cottage, or by boat, make
it very pleasant.
Saturday evening we witnessed the bal
loon ascension after dark, which was
quite a novelty to me, the aeronaut tak
ing bis dizzy drop from the clouds amid
explodiug fireworks and the glare of the
electric search light. Sunday at 3 p. ui.
we listened to an able sermon by the
Rev. Bugbee, also a solo by a Pittsburg
lady, wuich was very well rendered.
Sunday at Celoron is not a day of rest
or worship but everything else. This,
however, did not binder us from being
lulled to sleep Sunday evening by a very
tine march by the excellent band at Cel
oron. Fainter and fainter it came float
ing across the ripling water, every part
cloar and distiuct, nothing to mar the en
joyment except the occasional necessity
of adjusting a 6 ft. 4 in. man to a 6 ft. bed.
Home agan Monday morning with
fresh ozone in the luugs, new thoughts
in the mind, aud in every way better tor

REMEMBER THE FAIR.
Reference is el Course Made to tlie
Great One at Oil City.
The Fair at Oil City a year ago was ad
mittedly the greatest one ever given in
ibis section. All wbo attended were
more than pleased. The managers prom
ise a better one next month, and are
making elaborate preparations for an ex
position such as was never before seen
in Western Pennsylvania.
They are making an innovation which
will bo appreciated by the public. In
stead of one "Big Day," when all suffer
discomforts in consequence of the crowd,
they have determined to have "Four
Big Days." They intend that the first
day's program shall be equally as good
as that or any other day.
Last year the Directors introduced
novel feature in a continuous vaudeville
stage performance, in front of the grand
stand, and this year some other Fair As
sociations are copying the idea. The
stage performance will be given again
this year, but in addition to this the man
agement promises several other new and
novel features, the nature of which they
do not care to disclose just yet as they do
not wish to lurnish ideas for other Fair
Associations. Romember the dates, Sep
tember 12, l:S, 14 aud 15.

The importance of the central location
of Oil City, and the faith that la invited in
ila perminent prosperity, has been shown
in the manufacturing plants that have
been located here without the necessity
of ottering any financial inducement,
which other towns ot tho same size have
been compelled to use.
One of the most Important of these In
dustries has been in opperation here for
rite past few days, and very littlo has
been said of it, although it promises in
time to assure a great growth, and give
employment to the Highest type of skilled
workmen. The new concern is styled
the"Morck Optical Company,"and has iU
beadquartors and factory in the National
Bank block, and its business is the grind
ing of all kinds of complicated lenses for
the eyes or optical appliances, and the
manufacture of, various styles of spectacle
eye-glass frames.
It is a well-known fact that thero Is
nothing of this kind tobe found outside
of the larger cities of the East or West.
To ootain a set of lenses that are differ
ent fiom those generally in use, it has
been necessary to send the prescription
to Philadelphia or New York, necessitat
ing much extra expense and an a noy-
ing wait.
The labratory and manufacturing de
partment of the Morck Optical company
has been tilted up with the most perfect
appliances for grinding and general man
ufacture of this class of work that could
be found in the c ountry, and the power is
furnished by a complete electrical outfit.
With this company it is simply a case of
"lenses ground while you wait." There
is no possible case that cannot be fitted
with glasses, with the facilities that are
to be found here, and no difficulty in the
fitting of glasses so great that it cannot bo
overcome.
That this statement is not exaggerated,
it is only necessary to review the reputa
tion of the gentlemen who will carry on
the business of the company. Dr. Aug
ust Morck, who will be the master hand
in the new company, although voung in
years, has gained for himself a reputation
for excellence in the profession that is
much more than local. In addition to his
experience as a skilled optician, he is
also the inventer of the bifocal lenses.
which have been praised and adopted
not only in this country but abroad as
well, and secured for him honorary
membership in tho leading society of in
ventors of France.
He has secured the services of Mr. Na
than Morgan, late of Queen it Co., of
Philadelphia, the leading optical manu
facturing concern of the country, and a
man who is beyond criticism, and a'most
without a peer, in this class of work.
Already the new company bas done
consideerble work in making new and
complicated lenses, and these orders have
not all been local. One of these illustrates
the possibilitos of the mechanical depart
ment. It was a prescription for a set of
compound lenses received from Warren,
Pa., at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
By the time the afternoon train left for
that place, at 3:30, the lenses were com
pleted and on their way back to Warren.
Had the order been sent to one of the
manufacturing concerns In the East, the
lenses could not haye beon back inside
of three or four days. In addition to the
saving of time, tuere is a big saving of
money in favor of the Oil City factory, as
the expenses of operating are less here
and the express charges are obviated.
With this new cancern, Oil City is re
markably fortunately situated for the
scientific care of the eye, its deformities
and its affections. Among its surgeons
are found some of the best oculists in the
procession, and many cases from a dis
tance have been brought here and sue
cassfully treated.
