PARTY INA(M
State Chairman Penrose Receives
Many Cheering Reports.
YOUNG REPUBLICANS AROUSED
They Are Lining Up Throughout Penn
sylvania For Roosevelt and Deter
mined to Poll a Great Vote In No
vember. Special Correspondence.
Philadelphia, Sept. 29. During tlio
last 24 hours Senator Penrose, as
chairman of the Republican state com
mittee, has been getting In touch with
the situation In the state and he Is
verv much eratined with what he has
learned regarding the condition of the
party organization and popular senti
ment In the several counties. The
senator returned on Sunday from a
hunting trip in British Columbia and
was naturally Interested In political
developments during his absence.
The state chairman found on his
desk reports from every Republican
county chairman in the state that had
been made in accordance with a re
quest sent out some time ago by Sec
retary W. R. Andrews for a prelim
inary canvass, and in every instance
he had occasion to be pleased with
what he read.
"It is indeed gratifying," said Chair
man Penrose, "to find the men identi
fied with the party organization
throughout the state manifesting so
keen an interest in the approaching
election. There is every reason to be
lieve that the Republican county com
mitteemen and the party voters gen
erally recognise the importance of our
getting out a full vote in November,
and that they are determined to let
nothing undone to accomplish this re
sult" ALL FOR ROOSEVELT.
Senator Penrose was particularly
pleased with the reports regarding the
convention of the State League of Re
publican Clubs held at Wllkesbarre,
which marked practically the opening
of the state campaign, and regretted
that unforeseen circumstances had
prevented him from being present. The
large attendance and the enthusiasm
witnessed at this convention must be
taken as additional evidence of the
ardor with which the young Republi
cans of Pennsylvania are entering In
to the spirit of the campaign with a
view to preparing for the presidential
election of next year.
They are all for Roosevelt, and they
want it known that they are going to
see to it that he receives the nomina
tion to succeed himself In the White
House. They stand solidly with the
Pennsylvania Republican organization
on this issue.
After reaffirming their fealty and de
votion to the principles of Republican
ism, as set forth In the state and na
tional platforms of the party and in
dorsing the state candidates, the club
men declared:
"We give our most cordial indorse
ment to the splendid administration
of President Theodore Roosevelt, who
so fully exemplifies and reflects our
ideal of American citizenship in both
private and public life, and we com
mend his courageous, sound and pa
triotic administration. We congratu
late him on the success he has already
attained both at home and in his for
eign policy, and pledge him our earn
est support in his future labors in be
half of our great country.
"We also congratulate the people of
Pennsylvania upon the safe and con
servative administration of our state
affairs, Governor Pennypacker having
already proved himself a wise, prudent,
firm and conscientious executive.
"Believing in organization, we pledge
ourselves to the service of our party
and our country In the battle of 1904
for the maintenance of protection to
American labor, a sound financial pol
icy and the development of American
Influence for commerce and civiliza
tion." MASSES ARE AROUSED.
That is where the Young Republi
cans of Pennsylvania stand in this
contest
Many members of the State League
are farmers or business or profesional
men, who take but an occasional In
terest in politics, but that they are all
now aroused to the importance of the
campaign cannot be questioned.
The sentiments of the Republicans
of Northampton were eloquently ex
pressed a few days ago by their county
convention, which among other things
set forth:
"The general prosperity of the coun
try, which has been realized from the
Republican tariff laws bajed upon the
cardinal principle of protection, must
not be disturbed by vicious tariff tin
kering, which is threatened by the
Democratic party in its usual disposi
tion to lead the country into the chan
nels of free trade and commercial de
pression. "That the administration of Presi
dent Roosevelt, in its true American
ism, its great achievements. Its ad
vanced patriotism, is worthy of our
highest commendation, and we proudly
recognize the wisdom of placing in his
hands the standard of the Republican
party as its leader In the presidential
contest of 1904.
"The administration of Governor
Pennypacker deserves the unqualified
commendation of the people of the
commonwealth, and we especially con
gratulate the people of the common
wealth upon the passage of the "good
roads law," whereby a considerable
portion of the revenues of the state
are devoted to the construction of Im
proved state highways."

" " PERIOD OF LIQUIDATION.
Probable Limit cf Iti Extent Subject
of Grave Disquiet on Wall Street.
New York, Sept 29. Wall street
spent another gloomy day which was
devoted mostly to trying to discover
where the unending stream of liquida
tion came from and what caused it.
The sou rce of selling orders is a
mystery and Inferences usually drawn
from the personality of brokers em
ployed are almost invariably wrong.
The conditions which prompt the
liquidation and the probable limits of
Its extent are consequently the sub
ject of grave disquiet and apprehen
sion. Comptroller Ridgley's opinion
expressed before the Maryland and
Washington bankers that "a large per
centage of loaning power has gone in
to unproductive Interests" formulates
the dread of Wall street over the pres
ent situation.
The reaction in the iron and steel
Industries, the high interest rates, es
pecially on mercantile paper, and the
curtailment of production in other
lines, caused the fear that over exten
sion has spread to industrial and com
mercial lines, representing additional
"unproductive interests," to be follow
ed by liquidation and contraction.
The present course of the banks la
directed towards conserving the com
mercial and Industrial needs for cred
its and to this end they are inexorable
to all promotions and financing pro
jects. The miscarriage of these pro
jects Is still the cause of most of the
liquidations. ' ' "
Inquiry amonp the very highest
financial Interests elicits statements
that nothing of a serious or untoward
character Is apprehended.
Davis Poisoned Candy Case.
Glens Falls, Sept. 29. A second per
son Is now suspected in the Davis
poisoned candy case and Important de
velopments arts expected in a day or so.
Chief of Police Buckley secured the
package of candy yesterday and an
analysts of It will be made. He also
examined a package of anonymous
letters which Mrs. Davis had received
which were lnsultins In character and
evidently written in a disguised hand
Well Known Writer Dead.
Chicago, Sept. 29. Henry D. Lloyd,
the well known writer on economic
subjects, died at his home In Wlnnet
ka. Mr. Lloyd was born In New
York city May 1. 1817. He took an ac
tive part In the organization of the
Young Men's Municipal Reform As
sociation of New York In 1870, which
contributed materially to the over
throw of the Tweed machine In that
year. He came to Chicago In 1872.

THEIR BLU
Republicans Are Eager to Meet the
Democrats On State Issues.
ARE PROUD OF THEIR RECORD
State Finances Never In Better Condi
tion and Every Department of the
State Government Is Managed With
Signal Ability and Economy.
Special Correspondence.
Harrisburg, Sept 29. The Republi
can managers have called the bluff of
the Democrats In the present canvass
and announced that they are ready to
meet their spellbinders upon any Issue
they may present.
The Democratic state platform was
built entirely upon what were termed
"state issues." Owing to the wide dif
ference of opinion among Democrats of
today as to what the Democratic party
In the nation really stands for. It was
deemed wise to avoid further disrup
tions in the party by attempting to
place the Pennsylvania Democratic or
ganization on record upon any of the
great national questions which divldo
the parties.
Never in the history of the Democ
racy have their leaders been so much
at sea as they are today.
They are floundering about afraid to
attempt to land anywhere, and they see
the young men of the country just en
tering into citizenship looking upon
them with expressions of disgust and
contempt and refusing to have any
thing to do with them or their party.
With the presidential campaign to be
waged next year, the "first voters" nat
urally have their minds directed to
fundamental principles of government
and the lsues which have divided the
national parties in previous elections,
but when they turn to the Pennsyl
vania Democracy they discover that
there Is no settled or fixed policy with
which the party organization is di
rected. They are told that "national
Issues are not being discussed this
year; It Is all state issues."
LET STATE ISSUES BE DISCUSSED.
While believing that the campaign
this fall is actually a preliminary skir
mish of the national contest next year,
and that the returns of the election
in November will have a positive In
fluence In shaping the lines for the
presidential struggle, the Republican
campaign managers in Pennsylvania
have expressed themselves as ready
and eager to meet the Democrats at
their own game. Let state issues be
freely discussed, they say.
The Republican orators In this cam
paign point with pride to the admin
istration of every public trust that has
been committed to the Republican pirty
and its candidates in Pennsylvania.
The state treasury was never in
better condition and the administration
of Governor Pennypacker meets v-ra
the indorsement of all fair-minded cit
izens who recognize the fact that they
have a thoroughly patriotic and con
scientious executive officer who is ad
ministering his office in the interest of
the whole people.
Every branch of the state govern
ment is being managed ably and econ
omically. CANDIDATE MATHUES' VIEWS
Candidate for State Treasurer Wil
liam L. Mathues, in discussing the po
litical situation, said: ,
"There are no 'off years' In our or
ganization, nor should there be any at
any time in the Republican party.
Sometimes the offices in number and
importance to be voted for are greater
and more exalted, but each year has lis
current duties and responsibilities, and
this year, preceding as it does the na
tional stnif gle for president, should be
one in which this grand old common
wealth of Pennsylvania, In which I wa3
born and in which I live, and which all
of us love and are proud of, should
speak in no uncertain or faltering
tones.
"In this republic of ours Pennsylva
nia occupies the most exalted position,
and I am one of those who are of the
opinion that thissupremacyof our com
monwealth is greatly, almost wholly
we may Justly contend, due to tha su
premacy of our "party. Under Republi
can control in its principal depart
ments almost continuously since I860,
we have advanced marvelously in In
dustrial strength and wealth, aug
mented our manufacturing power until
it leads all other states and competes
with foreign plants in the four corners
of the world. Our state finances are
stable, our credit gilt-edged and the
debt comparatively effaced. Our edu
cational system and its advantages by
reason of the liberality of the state are
unsurpassed and unequaled. Pros
perity abounds, the times are good and
contentment environs our people, and
what is better than all, the outlook for
the future is auspicious.
"There is no cloud as big as a man's
hand on the horizon, save only the dan
ger of Democratic control the recur
rence of those deplorable 'Democratic
times' we all recall, Eome to their sor
row, when the bitter cry of those in the
gainful occupations who sought work
and found it not, went up in distress to
the heavens everywhere over our fair
land. I do not want those times again.
Even many of our Democratic friends
fear them, for they have gotten into a
fashion (a good many of them) of vot
ing with us and for our candidates and
policy. j
"Let us take no Insane leap in the
dark. Putting on our armor and gird
ing up our political loins this year for
the great battle of 1904, let Pennsyl
vania declare In most emphatic terms
that she intends to stand resolutely
and confidently by the McKlnley
policy and the policy of our own able
and aggressive young President Roose
velt and leave well enough alone." ,

THE EPISODE
IN ROOM 222
By ARNOLD BENNETT
Copyright, ltf by T. C. Mcf'lure
The date was the 5th of Xovcmlier.
It was n Friday, nnd yet there are peo
ple who affect to believe that Friday Is
not a day singled out from Its six com
panions for mystery, strangeness and
disaster. The number of the room was
2L"J. The hotel I shall call by the name
of the (Jniiul Junction Terminus hotel.
The Grand Junction is full every
night In the week except Friday, Sat
urday nnd Sunday. Every commercial
traveler knows that, except on these
nights, if he wishes to secure a room
he must write or telegraph for It in ad
vance. And there nre 4(10 bedrooms.
It was somewhat late In the evening
when I arrived In Li . On the spur
of the moment 1 decided to stay at the
Grand Junction if there wns space for
me. It is thus that fate works.
I walked Into the hail, followed by a
platform porter with my bag. The
place seemed just as usual, the perfec
tion of the commonplace, the business
like and the tinspiritual.
"Have you a room?" I asked the
young lady in black whose yellow hair
shone gayly at the otlice window under
the electric light
She glanced nt the ledgers In the Im
passive nnd detached manner which ho
tel young ladies with yellow hair inva
riably affect and ejaculated:
"No. T21."
"Pity you couldn't make It nil twos,"
I ventured, with timid Jocularity. How
could I guess the Import of what I was
saying?
She smiled very slightly with' a dis
tant condescension. "Name?" she de
manded. "Edge."
In another moment I was In the ele
vator. No. 221 was the last door but one nt
the end of the eastern corridor of the
fourth floor. It proved to be a double
bedded room, large, exquisitely ugly,
but perfectly appointed In all matters
of comfort. In short, It was character
istic of the hotel. I knew that every
bedroom in that corridor presented ex
actly the same aspect. One Instinctive
ly felt the Impossibility of nnythlng
weird, anything bizarre, anything terri
ble, entering the precincts of an abode
so solid, cheerful, orderly and middle
class.
It will be well for me to relate nil
that I did that evening. I went down
to the billiard room and played a hun
dred up with the marker. To show
that my nerves were nt lenst as steady
as usual that night 1 m:iy mention that,
nlthoiigh the marker gave me fifty nnd
beat tin. I made n break of twenty odd
which won his generous approval.' The
pune concluded. I went Into the hall
and asked the porter if there were nny
telegrams for mo. There were not. 1
notli-ed that the porter It was the night
porter, nnd he had just come on duty
seemed to have n peculiarly honest and
attractive face. Wishing him good
night. I retired to bed.
At 3 o'clock I awoke, not with a
start, but rather gradually. I know It
was exactly 3 o'clock because the strik
ing of a notoriously noisy church clock
In the neighborhood was the first thing
I heard. Hut the clock had not awak
ened me. I felt sure that something
else, something far more sinister than a
church clock, had been the origin of dis
turbance. I listened. Then I heard It again. It
was the sound of n groan in the next
room.
"Some one Indisposed, either in body
or mind," I thought lightly, and I tried
to go to sleep again. Hut I could not
sleep. The groans continued nnd grew
more poignant, more fearsome. At last
I Jumped out of bed and turned on the
light.
"That man, whoever he Is, Is dying,"
The idea, as It were, sprang nt my
throat. "Only a man who saw Death
by his side and trembled before the ap
parition could groan like that."
I put on some clothes nnd went In
to the corridor. It seemed to stretch
away Into illimitable distance, and far
off n solitary electric light glimmered.
My end was a haunt of gloomy shad
ows, except where the open door al
lowed the light from my bedroom to
illuminate the long, monotonous pat
tern of the carpet.
I proceeded to the door next my own
the door of No. and put my ear
against the panel. The sound of groans
was now much more distinct and more
terrifying. I called. No answer.
"What's the matter?" I inquired. No
answer. Then I tried to open the door,
but It was fast.
"Yes," I said to myself, "either he's
dying or he's committed a murder and
is feeling sorry for It. I must fetch the
night porter."
I was compelled to find my way
along endless corridors and down
(lights of stairs apparently innumera
ble. Here and there an electric light
sought witli Its yellow eye to pierce
the gloom. At length I reached the
hall.
"There's a mau either dying or very
ill In No. 222," I said to the night por
ter. ' "Is that so, sir?" he replied.
"Yes," I Insisted. "I think he's dy
ing. Hadn't you better do something?''
"If you think he's dying, sir, I'll call
up the manager, Mr. Thorn."
"Do," I said.
The manager slept on the first floor,
and he soon appeared, n youngish
man In a terra cotta dressing gown, his
is the New and Better Breakfast
Food, bo different from all others
that it pleases everybody. Get a
lacknge to-duy at your grocers,
his Uikeszb Pibb Food Co., Lb Bot, N. Y.
eyes full of sleep, yet alert and am
icus to do his duty. We all three con
1 1 nued our progress to the fourth floor.
Arrived In front of No. 222, we listened
Intently, but we could only hear a faint
occasional groan.
"He's nearly dead," I said. The
manager called aloud, but there was
no answer. Then he vainly tried to
open the door. The night porter de
parted nnd returned with a stout pair
of steel tongs. With these and the nat
ural ingenuity peculiar to hotel porters
he forced open the door, and we enter
ed No. 2'2.
A stout, middle aged man lay on the
bed fully dressed in black. On the
floor near the bed was a silk hat. As
we approached the great body seemed
to flutter, and then It lay profoundly
nnd terribly still. The manager put
his hand on the man's head and held
the glass of his watch to the man's
parted lips.
"He la dead," said the manager.
"H'ni!" I salil.
"I'm sorry you've been put to any
inccnvfnlcini?," said the manager,
"and I'm much obliged to you."
The cold but polite tone was a re
quest to me to re-enter my own cham
ber and leave the corpse to the man
ager nnd the night porter. I obeyed.
"What about that man?" I asked the
hall porter early the next, or, rather,
the same, morning. I had not slept a
wink since 3 o'clock, nor had I heard a
sound In the corridor.
"What man, sir?" the porter said.
"You know," I returned rather an
grily "the man who died In the night
No. 222."
"I assure you, sir," he said. "I haven't
the least notion what you mean."
Yet his face seemed ns honest and
open as ever.
1 Inquired at the otlice for the mana
ger and after some dlllleulty saw him
in his private olllee.
"I thought I'd Just see about that
man," I begsm.
"What man?" the manager asked ex
actly as the porter had asked.
"Look here," I said, as I was now
really annoyed; "It's all very well giv
ing Instructions to the hall porter, nnd
I can quite understand you want the
thing kept ns quiet as possible, but I
saw the corpse nnd was of some assist
ance to you"
"Excuse me," said the manager. "Ei
ther you or I must be completely mad."
"Do you mean to say," I remarked,
with frosty sarcasm, "that you didn't
enter room 222 with me this morning
nt 3 a. m. and find n dead man there?"
"I mean to say just that," ho an
swered. "Well" I got no further. I paid my
bill and left, but before leaving I went
nnd carefully examined the door of No.
222. The door plainly showed marks
of some iron instrument.
"Here," I said to the porter ns I de
parted. "Accept this half crown from
me. I admire you."
In the course of my subsequent trav
els I once more found myself late one
night nt the Grand Junction Terminus
hotel.
"Mr. Edge," said the night porter,
"I've been looking out for you for
weeks and weeks. The manager's com
pliments, and he would like to see you
iu his room."
Again I saw the youngish, alert man
ager. "Mr. Edge," he began at once, "It Is
probable that I owe you an apology.
At any rate 1 think it right to inform
you that on the night of the iitli of No
vember, the year before last, exuotly
twelve months before your last visit
here, a stout man died In room No. 222
at 3 a. m. I forgot the circumstance
when you last came to see me in tills
room."
"It seems queer," I said coldly, "that
you should have forgotten such a cir
cumstance." "The fact is," lie replied. "I was not
the manager nt that time. My prede
cessor died two (lays after the discov
ery of the corpse In room 222."
"And the night porter Is he, too, a
new man?"
"Yes." said the manager. "The porter
who, with the late manager, found the
corpse in room 222 is now in Ilan
well Lunatic asylum."
"Then you think." I snid, "that I wns
the victim of n hallucination on my
previous visit here?"
"On these matters," said the man
ager, "I prefer to think nothing."
The nablilt as a Gardener.
Among the unpaid gardeners who
keep certain parts of our landscape
trim must be reckoned the humble rab
bit. "Rabbit turf" on the junior
studded slopes of the Surrey bills, or
the verges of the Devonshire cliffs. Is
almost the finest sward existing. The
constant nibbling of the rabbits, which
work steadily outward from their bur
rows, cropping the grass again and
again closer than does a mowing ma
chine, dwarfs not only the grass, but
all other plants nnd herbs. They also
nibble the furze bushes and bunches of
heather Into cushions and blunt cones
and give to the ground which they fre
quent the appearance of being covered
with artificially rounded and trimmed
shrubs and bushes so characteristic of
the sides of downs, nn effect which the
numbers of nut hills aid in producing.
On some parts of the coast, especially
In the sand hills which protect low
lands from the sea. rabbits occasionally
threaten to produce very much more
serious changes in the landscape than
this. They burrow Into the sand hills
and weaken them until they are no
longer the firm barrier that they were.
Over the whole of the coast of Holland
the board which has control of the
dikes and dams has plenary powers to
enter upon any estate In the "duns"
fringing the sea and then and there
to kill, slay and exterminate the rab
bits without asking permission If, In
the judgment of its officers, they are
Weakening the sand hills. Spectator.
