H:in ishure. May 29. A decision
v. liih will have far reaching Influence
upcn the politics of this state was
r.iven lat work by Judge Hemphill, of
the Chester county court. In a case In
which there was an Issue aa to the In
loipivt.ition of the rules of the Repub
lican i:u ty in that county. Action was
brought against a judge of a Republi
can primary election who refused to ac
cept the vote of a man who had not
supported the full Republican ticket
at i ho election last November for mem
bers of the legislature. While for years
this man had been looked upon as a
Republican and he had probably al
ways voted the Republican ticket be
fore that time, ho turned In with the
insurgents and voted for the fusion
candidates for the legislature, who In
cluded Democrats and former Repub
licans. When the next Republican pri
mary election was held this Individual
went to the'polls and sought to partici
pate in the election of Republican del
egates. His vote was challenged and
the judueof the election refused to ac
cept his ballot. There were, of course,
cxptessions of great Indignation from
the men who hail worked with him to
defeat the regular 'Republican candi
date at. the preceding election. They
made till sorts of threats as to what
they would do with this Republican
election judge, who had exercised hl3
best judgment as to what he should do
under the circumstances.
l'iist there was a criminal prosecu
tion instituted, but when the matter
came before the grand jury and all the
circumstances in the case were recited,
the bill of Indictment was promptly ig
nored, and nrrain the insurgents were
much cht'grind. They did not give up
the (itit, however. They had power
ful political influence back of them,
with, the ?.T.irtin-FIlnn organization of
the state deeply interested In the out
come of this important Issue as to the
stains of the men who follow the lead
ership of Flinn nnd Martin and vote

other candidates against the regular
nominees of tha Republican organiza
tion, ' ; '

available was retained to make the best
possible presentation of the case In fa
vor of the representative of the In
surgent cause. After the matter was
fully iircued and nil the opinions and
other pmeedents were presented to the
court. .Tu.lge Hemphill took ample time
to carefully consider and weigh all the
facts in the case. His conclusions In
the matter spread demoralization
ani"i the advocates of fusion In every
qu itter of the commonwealth.

"KINPINCS OF FACTS:
"The defendant was the dulay elect

election held. by the Republicans of the
eastern district of Tredyffrin township,
at Stratford, on June 3, 1899. The
pbiintlfT offered to vote at said election,

affidavit his vote was rejected as It waa
also when offered a second time, and
tor the same reason.
"The plaintiff had generally co-operated
with and supported the Republi
can party and had been considered and
treated as a Republican, having been
elected by that party inspector of elec
tions, assistant assessor, and from 1S81
to the present time township auditor,1
but in 1S98 had opposed the election of
Governor Stone and actively supported
the fusion legislative ticket, composed
of equal numbers of Democrats and Re
publicans, in opposition to the regular
Republican nominees.
"As Judge of the election, the de
fendant, when plaintiff's vote was chal
lenged, had a sworn and judicial muy
to perform, via.: to determine whether
under the rules of the Republican party
he had or had not a right to vote, and
this he did, and as far as the evidence
discloses conscientiously and without
malice or any animus whatever.
TOINTS OF FACT.
"The following points were present
ed bv the defendant:
" 'the court is respectfully requested
to find
"1. That under the rules of the
Republican party of Chester county,
plaintiff was not entitled to vote at tho
Republican primary election held June
3, 1S99, after being challenged until
he had made (Da declaration to sup
port the party; (!) an affldlvit that he
voted the Republican ticket at the last
general election.
"'2. That in refusing plaintiff's
vote defendant performed a judicial
act. In which he would not be answer
able for a mistake of judgment or a
mistake of conclusion.
" '3. The plaintiff had failed to show
that the action of the defendant In re
fusing plaintiffs vote was willful or
malicious or that such a refusal was
unlawful or illegal.
"'4. That plaintiff had failed to
prove a clear and Intentional derelic
tion of duty by defendant.
" '5. That defendant In refusing
plaintiff's vote was acting within the
limits of his Jurisdiction as Judge of
election of the Republican primary
meeting, and incurred no legal liability
for a mistake of judgment
" '6. That plaintiff's action can not
be sustained and judgment must be
entered for defendant.
"'7. That Judgment of non-suit
must be entered against plaintiff.'
"We do not deem Its necessary to
pass upon these points seriatim, as all
that are material to the Issue will be
found answered In either our find
ings of fact or conclusions of law.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. ,
"The Important legal question pre
sented is, Can this action, under the
evidence, be sustained?
"Under the provisions of the act of
Juno 29, 1881, to regulate the holding,
etc., of primary elections, the defend
ant was required to take and subscribe
to an oath or affirmation that he would
'impartially and faithfully perform his
duties In accordance with the
rules and regulations adopted by the
Republican party of Chester county,
for the government of primary elec
tions, meetings or caucuses,' and the
samq net subjects him to a heavy fine
'If he shall willfully disregard or vio
late the provisions of any rule duly
made by the Republican party of Ches
ter county for the government of tho
primary elections of the party, or If
!ie 'shall knowingly reject the vote of
any person entitled tc vote under the
rules of said party,' or If he 'shall
knowingly receive the vote of any per
son or persons not qualified as afore
said. "When, therefore, the plaintiffs vote
was challenged It became thedutyof the
defendant, under his oath or affirma
tion, as Judge, to determine whether
It should be received or rejected, and
this In accordance with the rules of the
Republican party of Chester county.
"He was consequently compelled to
construe those rules, which he did (and
it is not questioned) by holding that
plaintiff was not entitled to vote unless
he would make affidavit that he 'voted
the Republican ticket at the last gen
eral election.'
"That affidavit the plaintiff declined
to make and his vote was rejected."
After citing a number of precedents
in both this country and In England,
to sustain his position, Judge Hemp
hill directed that Judgment be entered
by the prothonotary In favor of the
defendant.
INSURGENTS DEMORALIZED.
This decision has spread consterna
tion In the ranks of the Insurgents.
Men who take an interest in politics
usually like to be Identified with one of
the great political organizations. They
believe in certain Axed principles and
they wish to be regarded as supporters
of the party representing such prin
ciples. Even some of the most ardent advo
cates of fusion at this time, when put
to a test, admit that they would not be
Identified with the Democratic party
under any circumstances. They are,
however. In opposing regular Republi
can candidates for the legislature giv
ing the most valuable assistance pos
sible to the Democratic machine In this
state. It is hardly possible that Penn
sylvania can become one of the doubt
ful fitates In the approaching presi
dential campaign, but If there shall be
a question of the Republicans contin
uing In control of congress, Pennsyl
vania and her delegation In the na
tional senate and house may be an
important factor In deciding whether
he nex t Republican administration
shall be barked by a Republican con
gress.
It is therefore Important that every
legislative district that can be carried
by the Republicans this fall shall be
won, so that there shall be no ques-
tlon of the election of a Republican to
the United States senate to succeed
Colonel Quay. The running of fusion
tickets may imperil the election of
many of the candidates of the Renub
Ucan party for the state senate and the
house, and It Is therefore essential that
the lines of the Republican organiza
tion shall be held intact and that ev
ery effort shall be made to defeat the
plans of the fusionists who seek to
draw Republicans from voting the full
Republican ticket. There will be a full
delegation to the national house of
representatives to elect and the fusion
campaign- will -undoubtedly place In
Jeopardy several of the congressional
districts which should be carried by
Itepunitcans.
I consider it not only a pleasure but a
duty I owe to my neighbors to toll them

(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, May 29. United States
Senator Doles Penrose, commenting
upon the probable attitude of the Penn
sylvania delegation to the Republican
convention on the vice presidential Is
sue, said today: "There has been no
attempt to get tho delegates from
Pennsylvania to the national conven
tion pledged or committed to any can
didate for vice president. It may be
accepted as a fact that the Influential
Republican leaders of this state aro
anxious nnd eager to do what Is
thought best for the success of the Re
publican ticket this fall. The opinion
is general that the delegation to the
national convention from Pennsylvania
should defer action upon the matter
of the vice presidency until they shall
have an opportunity of conferring In
Philadelphia with the party leaders
from all over the country, and especial
ly the close friends of the national ad
ministration. We In Pennsylvania
have no concern about the result of the
presidential election In our own state,
but we are desirous of doing that which
will strengthen the Republican organi
zation In the so-called doubtful states.
We want to strengthen the national
ticket, and it is believed that the
wishes of President McKlnley and
those whose opinions he values should
be concurred In by the delegates from
our state. I am free to say that It will
be a pleasure for me to vote for any
candidate for vico president whoso
nomination shall be regarded as most
desirable by the president. I am con
fident that shold there be such a pref
erence so Indicated the delegation from
Pennsylvania will be a unit in support
ing such a candidacy."
Senator Penrose Is a delegate from
his congressional district, and he will
co-operate with Colonel Quay In all
matters. The Beaver statesman, who
will be chairman of the delegation. Is
the leader of Pennsylvania's "big
eight," the delegates-at-large.
During his visit to this city last
week. Colonel Quay, as the member
of the national committee from this
state, had a long conference with Col.
George N. WIswell, sergcant-at-arms
of the Republican national convention.
As a member of the executive commit
tee of the national committee Colonel
Quay Is In touch with the Influential
men in the national committee, nnd ho
will participate In all the conferences
regarding the detail work of the con
vention and the framing of the plat
form. A MAGNIFICENT HALL.
All the arrangements for the conven
tion have been completed by the local
committee of arrangements, and the
hall was yesterday formally transfer
red to Chairman Manley's sub-committee
of the national committee.
Since Contractor Dietrich, on April
9, essayed the task of making the nec
essary alterations to the auditorium
Saturday was the first weekday that
found nil hammers still In the great
hall. So far as Contractor Dietrich was
concerned the work of the convention
hall was finished, and the great struct
ure now awaits only Its gala day attire
of flags, hunting, pictures and flora and
plant decorations to put it in shape for
the memorable scenes which next
month are to be enacted within Its
walls.
To one who entered the great struct
ure yesterday afternoon It had a sin
gularly Impressive appearance. Its 15,
080 chairs were all In place, but, save
three or four policemen and a couple
of firemen guarding it, the great build
ing was deserted. As the visitor en
ters the doorway In the rear of the
hall the appearance of the magnificent
hall is deceptive, for the thousands of
seats to the left and right of him can
not be viewed at a simple glance. But
If he stand In one of tho corners of the
hall Its Immensity will become at once
apparent.
AMPLE SEATING ROOM.
The convention hall Is 310 feet long
and 288 feet wide. The alterations
which hnve Just been completed have
required 400,000 feet of lumber. The
chairs, which aro to be occupied by the
926 delegates, nnd a like number of al
ternates, allow a seating capacity of 20
Inches In width. The visitors' chairs
are so placed as to afford the occupants
a seating space of 18 inches In width
In the section reserved for representa
tives of the press are 500 chairs. The
press tables are six feet in length, and
each will be occupied by three men,
On the stage are two sections of seats,
each section containing 243 chairs
The section on the right of tho speak
er's platform will he occupied by mem
bers of the Republican national com
mittee, and that on the left by the
speakers and distinguished visitors.
The side aisles are four feet In width
and the main aisles vary from six to
eight feet.
All visitors to the convention hall
will enter by the main entrance In the
rear of the hall. A large number of
exlt3, however, have been provided. Of
these there are eight on each side of
the building and four In the rear. It Is
estimated that the entire building can
be cleared In five minutes.

CHAUTAUQUA'S BEAUTY
Historic Spot Donning Graceful
Garments of Summer.
Approaching Season Expected to n On

Stona For tha "Hall of Christ" Using
Arranged For.
Chautauqua has discarded her robes
of winter and Is fast putting on the
vestments of the summer season. Her
giant trees of many kinds are casting
their graceful shade, while the green
grass everywhere makes a velvety car
pet. Forest, lake and sky vie with one
another in wooing to the Chautauqua
shores the health seeker as well as
those who see In this histories spot, a
place to breath pure air and to enjoy
the restful scenery. Chautauqua has
come to mean the Mecca for students.
teachers, literary workers and all
classes of people who wish to combine
pleasure and recreation with Intellect
ual and spiritual profit.
Unless all signs fall, the approaching
season will be one of the most success
ful In the history of the Assembly. A
number of costly Improvements are
being made at Chautauqua In prepara
tion for the coming season. Last year
Chautauqua was visited by forty-one
thousand (41.000) people, the largest at
tendance In the history of the organi
sation. This year the famous resort
expects to accommodate fllfty thousand
(50,000) students and visitors. By the
1st of June ground will be broken for
the "Hall of Christ." An appropriate
corner laying stone ceremony Is being
arranged. The Hall was planned by
Architect Paul J. Pels, one of the de
signers of the Congressional Library
building at Washington. The Hall will
cost between $35,000 and 140,000.
A power house Is under construction
which will Increase the electric and
pumping power 2 1-! per cent. The
new bridge, which Is now complete, has
been built over a deep ravine, connect
ing the North and South sides of the
grounds, makes available about 25 acres
of additional building space, and pos
sible the opening of a splendid boule
vard driveway which Is being project
ed to encircle the Assembly grounds.
The hotel has undergone extensive re
pairs and an auxiliary waterworks sys
tem has been Introduced. Many new
cottages have been erected and old ones
remedied and Improved. The water for
public drinking purposes this summer
will be obtained from deep artesian
wells. The college annex building will
be opened In time for this season's
classes. The administration building
has been enlarged to provide for the
Bureaus of Publication and Extension.
The Improvements arranged for and
still Incomplete will cost about $130,-
000.
The Advance Number of the Chau
tauqua Assembly Herald whloh has
Just been issued and contains the com
plete program of the coming season, an
nounces among other attractions a
course of lectures by Professor Bliss
Perry. Professor Perry, who has re
signed his professorship at Princeton
to accept the editorship of The Atlantic
Monthly, Is not only a charming writer,
but a most fascinating lecturer. He
has been one of the most successful
lecturers on the staff of the University
Extension Society of Philadelphia, and
Is now entering field of summer lect
uring. Mr. Allyne Ireland, whose contribu
tions to the magazine, and whose little
volume on the South African question
have attracted so much attention, Is
also a successful lecturer. He has
spoken at Wellesley and at Cornell
University, and Is announced for a
course of lectures at Chautauqua next
summer. He will speak upon "Tropi
cal Colonies."
It Is probably within the truth to
say that no one woman exerts more
personal Influence for social betterment
In the United States than Mrs. Maud
Balllngton Booth. Her charming per
sonality, her high ideals, her indefin
able enthusiasm affects all who come
within the spell of her speech. We note
that she Is once more given a prominent
place upon the Chautauqua platform,
where she has already appeared mora
than once.
Miss Susan B. Anthony must arouse
the admiration of all who are moved
by pluck and persistence In discourag
ing circumstances. Miss Anthony re
tains her remarkable vigor of body and
mind, and urges as enthusiastically as
ever the social changes which she has
so much at heart.
We are interested to note that Chau
tauqua again extends a welcome to
Miss Anthony, who Is to speak next
summer, In company with two of her
lieutenants, Rev. Anna H. Shaw and
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt.
To save the great waste of a three
months' vacation, Chautauqua has this
season provided a Vacation School for
young people. This will combine an
Intelligent use of the summer months
with the advantages of out-door life.

There is au old story which goes dowu
from gcneriition to generation iiuiong
the merry Viennese of how a gay young
uobleniHii wou a curious wager, says St.
Paul's Budget. He declared that it was
quite possible to be taken up by the Vi
cuna police without committing any
crime whatever. To prove this t'ouut
Sander appeared one day, shabbily dress
ed, at uu obscure inn, ordered some re
freshments and paid with the Austriuu
equivalent of a llH note, which he pulled
out of the shaft of his dilapidated top
boot. This was quite sutliclent to bring
a guardiau of law and order upon the
scene, who took the "prisoner" to the
uearest police station iu order that ho
might justify the possession of so much
wealth.
Th Vienna of today Is vastly different
in most respects from the Vienna of the
time of guy Count Siindor. This, how
ever, does not prevent similar accidents
from hapix'uiug. 1 litis the icrinan pa
pers arc just now full of righteous indig
nation because a (eruiiin was taken up
the other day by an Austrian detective
when he tried to change a 100 note at
midnight in n Vienna cafe. It was only
at the police station that the detective
could be convinced of the fact that even
nn honest man might occasionally have a
100 note in his possession ami that It Is
eveu possible he may wish to exchange It
at a restaurant.
But even this recent occurrence did not
sutliee to quench the seal of the Viennese
detective. Only n few days after the ep
isode with the (icrinan t'ru-sus a foreign
er drove up to a Vienna night enfe, sat
down nnd ordered a bottle of champagne.
Night cab, champagne, foreign neeeut
these were quite enough to cause such
emotions that the baud ceased playing
for a moment. However, the stranger
was jovially Inclined: treated everybody,
the musicians Included, to champagne,
ices, etc., nnd nil went on merrily till a
hand was laid upon his shoulder and n
low voice said Into his ear, "lon't make
a fuss nnd come with me nt once."
"I with you!" the stranger exclaimed.
Is it to another cafe you wish to take
ie?"
"Xot exactly," was the reply, "You
come to the police station with me and
explain who you are nnd where the
money comes from which yon are scat-
ering about so freely.
The "criminal, offering the man of
law nnd order n seat in his cab, did as he
was biddeu, and once more the Vienna
police hud to eat humble pie and beg par-
Ion of the stranger, who, so far from be
ing fraudulent, or worse, was only a
Russian trying to get rid of some of his
groat wealth iu the gayest capital of
Europe.
It is to be hoped that the zeal of the
Austrian detective will, after this, be
ended with n little more discretion thnu
has hitherto been the case.

A biography of (Jciieral lluller tells
this story of the general: ''He was In
company with Lord Charles llcrcsford
coming down the Nile, and as their bout
approached the first cataract n sharp
discussion arose as to which was the
proper channel to take. The soldier nil-
?!sed one, the sailor another, but In tne
end Butler's channel was followed with
perfect success.
" 'You see, 1 was right,- tne general
exclaimed exultantly.
" 'What of that?' retorted Beresford.
I knew It was the right one myself, nnd
I only recommended the other because
I knew you would oppose whatever I
anlill'"
