It all goes to .prove that what are called the learned pro fession believe /n\ advertising at the expense of the other fellows. Politicians, as a rule, are very much similar to these other pro fessional brothers. They want nice things said about them, and all their bad faults omitted, and think that their party paper* above all, is the one to expostu late their glory gratis. Remember it is the business of •the newspaper to advertise you and through this medium it lives, so if you think any space in its columns is of value to you, show your appreciation by paying for the same, and thus help a good thing along. —VVE notice that politics are beginning to make a stir, especi ally with the opposition.

According to John Attaint*, It Should lie July SS. On tlie 3d of July, 1770, John Adarins, thou 0110 of tlio representatives of Mas sachusetts 111 tlie Continental congress, wrote to liis wife Abigail: "Yesterday tlie greatest question was decided which was ever debated in America, and a greater perhaps never was nor will l>e decided among men." In a second letter, written tbe same day, be said: "Hut the day Is past. Tho 2d of July will be tlio most memorable epocha in tbe history of America. lam apt to be lieve that it will bo celebrated by suc ceeding generations as the great anni versary festival. It ought to Vie com memorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to (Jod Al mighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this con tinent to tlie other from this time for ward, foreverniore." When the resolution was taken up on the 2d, all the states, except New York, | voted to accept it. Thus, on tho 2d day of July, 1770, tbe independence of the thirteen united colonies from tbe throne of Oreat Britain was defi nitely decided upon. The 2(1, and not the 4th, may bo called tlio true date of the separation. We could with propri ety celebrate the Fourth two days ear lier. That tho participants in tho work considered the 2d as the true date is shown by the letters written by John Adams, quoted at the beginning of tlie article. The popular fancy, however, seized upon tlie 4th, the date of nerept ance of Jefferson's more dramatic dec laration of tlie reasons for the sepa ration, as the proper day to celebrate. The debate upon the document was continued until the afternoon of tho 4tli, and, says Jefferson, might have run on Interminably at any other sea son of the year. But the weather was oppressively warm, and the hall In which tho deputies sat was close to a stable, "whence the hungry flies swarmed thick and fierce, alighting on tbe legs of tho delegates and biting hard through their thin silk stockings. Treason was preferable to discomfort," and at last the delegates were brought to such a state of mind as to agree to the Declaration without further amend, ment. It is a mistake to suppose that tho document was signed by the delegates on that day. It is improbable that any signing was done save by John Han cock. the president of the congress, and Charles Thomson, the secretary.—Paul J.eland Ilaworth in Harper's Maga zine. STAGE REALISM. Why Joe Jefferson Didn't Ilftve ■ Ileal 1)»K Schneider. It was the privilege of the writer years ago to attend a reception at which Joseph Jefferson spoke on tho drama. LLis treatment of the subject was interesting, the utterance of a man who knew the art of which he .spoke. liut the most interesting part of the hour came after the completion of the formal address, when an oppor tunity was given to the audience to ask any questions they wished of. Mr. Jefferson. Soon the familiar topic was introduced, the effect of the modern , elaboration and realism in stage set ting. Mr. Jefferson at once rose to the question. He spoke somewhat rapidly, with a quaint humor and sympathetic charm that were irresistible. He char acterized the modern fashion of stage setting as "a tribute to tlie weakness of tlie human Imagination." "I am of ten asked," he went ou, "why I do not have a real dog Schneider. But If I did none of you would be satisfied. You would g) home saying, 'Well, Schnei der never looked like that dog!' You love Schneider because j*ou have made lilin out of a piec<* of your own heart. And then," meditatively, "if I had a real Schneider some one in the gallery would probably whlstlo to him at tho critical moment, and he would bark uud spoil tlie play. While if he knew hl3 part perfectly and did Just what Schneider ought to do"—pausing and with his delightful smile—"Schneider would be the hero and not Hip!" Then, with a twinkle of the eye, he summed tip tho whole matter with the quiet re mark, "Realism with a tall to wag in the wrong place is a dangerous tiling." —New York Post. BAR HARBOR.

When Acadia was finally as a result of that long war relinquished to England it was given to Governor Bernard, but as this gentle man when the Revolution broke out was loyal to King George tho estate was confiscated. Meanwhile M. Bar tholomew Gregolre and his wife, Maria Theresa, who was tlie granddaughter of the original grantee, revived the claim of Cadillac, and It was allowed.

He Deliberately Blocked Legislation Favorable to Workingmen, Repeatedly Violated His Pledges, and His Friends Boisterously Applauded the Epithet, "The Miners Be Damned." The official report of the legislative J committee of the United Mine Workers for the Second district of this state J covering the session of the legislature j of ISOS, would make exceedingly inter esting as veil as peculiarly appropri ate campaign literature at this time. At a convention for the district held in Altoona in 1904 certain legislation of interest and advantage to miners was outlined and endorsed. A committee consisting of Edward Fisher, James Hamilton and George B. Parks was named by the convention to present the proposed legislation and urge its favorable consideration. The report in question is the official account of their labors, experiences and opera tions in Harrisburg. The proposed legislation consisted of three measures, the hope of the pas sage of which has long been cherished by the miners not only of that dis trict but in all ports of the state. They were respectively an employers*" lia bility bill., a bill providing for the ex amination of mine superintendents, foremen ai*l miners, and a bill for the appointment of a commission to re vise the mining laws generally. The minors hail been promised all these measures and the committee of the Second district entered upon their dut ies serenely confident of success. They knew exactly what they wanted, pre- j cisely how to convey their thoughts to others and had the fhdustry and persistence necessary to achieve re sults. Failure of Fond Expectations. But the gentlemen of the committee soon realized that their fond expecta tions were destined to be disappoint ed. The machine managers sitting in the seclusion of the Boas mansion were serving the corporation:! rather than the people and promptly issued orders for the defeat of all the bills. They were not to be executed in a brutal ; manner, it is true. On the contrary, the greatest delicacy was to be exer cised in the operation and the influ ential gentlemen of the cominitteo were to be "jollied" along in the most soothing manner. The committoo ! worked night and day and argue ', in- 1 cessantlv while the legislators listen- I or] attentively and professed tho deep- ' est interest in the subject. But,the In- j tercet was not in the passage of the measures. It was in the defeat of them without betraying the purpose j in advance of the event. In other I words the scheme was to kill the pro- | posed legislation while professing . sympathy for the policies expressed . in the measures. It was to fool all the miners all the time. Two of the bills, that for the ex amination of mine superintendent! and foremen and that for the revision of the mining laws carried appropria tions and having been referred to the committee of which J. Lee Plummer was chairman, that gentleman receiv ed most of their attention. He was profuse In assurances of friendliness but never reported any progress with the work. Finally the reasons of fail ure in this respect were revealed in on accidental way. Representative Smith, of Indiana county, had been urgent for the bills at various timo3 ami at a meeting of the commltte im» portuned with unusual ferver where upon Chairman Plummer rebuked him sharply and threatened his legislative interests. This so incensed Smith til At he left the room. Report of the Committee. The official report of the miners' committee is signed by Messrs. Fish er and Hamilton and is voluminous and explicit. In part it says: "March 28. —Up to this date none of our bills has been reported from the several committees, but ever since we submitted them to their care we have used every effort and every possible means we could think of in urging their consideration in order that they might be presented before the house. "The liability bill had another hear ing today. National Secretary Treas urer Wilson spoke in behalf of the bill and showed the necessity for the passage of such a bill. The house hav ing an afternoon .session all further hearing on the bill was postponed un til 8 P. M. The committee reconvened Hi. 8 P. M. when the opposition to the liability bill was again given a hear ing. "When the hearing wa« finished the committee went into executive ses rion. Many of the committee were not* present when the vote was taken to pave the bill sent to the house. The Motion to pmsent was lost by two votes. Th*» bill vas then referred to a sub-committee for th« purpose of con sidering it and referring it to the Com mittee again on Thursday. "March 29.--l3oulton informed your committee that MeWhlnney had waiv ed H U&arlng on the other three bills, claiming that IhP commission bill would cover all. The eoijwjission bill is still in tho hands of the appropria tions committee. Plummer Sj'jgesls a Corrupt Bargain.

"Tills Representative Smith, of In diana. and Bouiton, of Clearfield, had refused to do up to this time. Smith, of Indiana, accompanied your commit tee Just before the house convened this aft.moon Plummer, and en deavor to get the oill out of committee. At first we couhl Rot no satisfaction. Finally Brother Hamilton informed Plummer that he understood that he, Plummer, was aspiring for the nomi nation, and that If he was successful in securing the nomination and in tended to run tor slate treasurer at the next election, that hfs attitude in con nection with our bills would not entitle him to expect any support from the miners of District No. 2 or the work ers throughout the state. Plummer then promised to give the bill his care ful attention at the earliest opportun ity." Plummer's Attitude Toward Labor Interests. The report continues: "In harmony with the statement made at the com mencement of our report, we desire to present a more detailed statement in connection with the attitude of Plummer in the treatment of oar bills. We slated that one of the reasons we had In view in presenting our report was that the friends of labor and its enemies, both open and concealed, should be unveiled for the future bene fit of all concerned, both to those who might be sent in the capacity of leg islative committees to Harrlsburg and to the voter who might inquire for the record of any candidate serving at present as representative, and who might again solicit their suffrage "In electing him to soma elective office. "Representative Plummer is aspir ing for the office of state treasurer, one oi the most important offices within | the gift of the people of this common wealth. This office should only be flll ; ed by men of the most sterling worth and character. He must by all means bo clean and honest, pure and open and above board, in all his de^ngs. "As Mr. Plummer was tire chairman of the appropriations committee, he I was the principal member of this com mittee with whom your committee ; came In contact in looking after the measures submitted to the care of the appropriations committee. Whether Plummer voiced the sentiments of the majority of the committee In the ma jority of the interviews with us or not we are unable to say, or whether Ills expressions and attitude were individ ual and simply his own personal ex , prossions. "His expressions, according to your ! committee, were not considered as friendly to the legislation submitted by the miners. That he was not open aiui above board your committee thinks the statement already made in connection with his offer to Represen tatives Smith and Bouiton. offering i them to give this bill submitted to his committee consideration if they would 1 support one of the most rotten tneas ! ures presented to the legislature, a I measure so unfair that it had already i been vetoed twice by the governor, I who gave as one of Ills reasons for ve toing It that it was not necessary, and thus created a means for a useless <*«- ! peuditure of money, j Will Continue to Serve the Machine.

"We did not wish to deviate irgm any established rule, even I#' It were possible lor us to persuade the com mittee to do so. If this was their method of doing business and they followed it QUI unbiased, we eons.d ere.l their method fair- but FOR SOME REASON UNKNOWN TO tJS PLUMMER WOULD NOT LET THE COMMISSION BILL COME BEFORE THE COMMITTEE. We demanded an explanation from Plummer for his at titude in connection with refusing to allow tills bill to come before his com miitew, "and tliui, blocking it from com ing before the house. "HE PROMISED TO GIVE IT CON SIDERATION. INSTEAD OF CAR RYING OUT THIS PROMISE HE PROCEEDED TO TURN THE MEM 11ERS OF THE COMMITTEE DOWN WHO WERE FAVORABLE TO THE BILL, EVEN ASKING R IS I'RESENT A- TfVE SMITH, OF GLEN CAMPBELL, HIS REASONS FOR BEING SO MUCH INTERESTED IN THE BILL. To tills Mr. Smith replied that lu 1 con sidered the coal miner-s needed protec tion; that (t w}i» a craft fraught with great danger, both to hea th and life of those engaged In this particular in dustry. The miners demanded this legislation, and in his opinion were In a position, should it become neeesiary. jo (akp cate of themselves an l get their demands enforced in the future. The action" of plummer were biased that Mr. Smith left the com mittee room in disgust with Plum mer's attitu !e. "AIR.

" ' I "Tin' using of this epithet by Plum mer and his friends was repoited to Mr. Greenawalt the following morn ing by one of the members of the committee who remained and was friendly to the miners. "Next morning Smith went to Plum mer and asked him if his attitude of the nrevlous evening was to be consid ered au an indication of the policy he intended to pursue in connection with the miners' bill; if he, Plummer. in tended to stand by his actions of the j previous evening. Mr. Smith threat enod to report his action to your com mittee, coupled also with the threat, ' which seemed to be the only thing I that could be used to get him to prom- ; ise fairly, that if his attitude was re ported to the committee it would do Plummer considerable injury. Plum-. 1 mer again promised Smith that he ! would have the bill reported out the following week, the house having ad journed for the present week. Plummer Is Unfriendly to Labor. "After tlie house reconvened and the bill was not reported by Plum mer's committee, we came to the con clusion that it was a continuation of his old policy of evasion. We then de termined to get after some of the Re publican politicians who were consid ered to be Plummer's superiors in the ?arty. They also elicited a promise j rom him that he would take action 011 j the bill Immediately. He delayed this until the time was too short to get it through the senate. "PLUMMER'S WHOLE ATTITUDE JN CONNECTION WITH THIS BILL WAS ONE OF EVASION AND UN FULFILLED PROMISES. "Your committee would be charit able to all men, and In rendering this report it is not our desire to present any charge against any person or per sons who did not concede to all our wants und requlrempnts. Every man has a right to his individual opinion, and your committee would honor every man who renders an expression of his individuality. We would not judge and condemn any man as being un favorable to us and the measures com mitted to our charge simply because he did not coincide with us in all our methods and measures; but in report ing to the officials and the executive hoard of this, the strongest representa tive organizaion of labor in Central Pennsylvania, we are passing our un biased opinion on Mr. Plummer's at titude toward the laborer by using his attitude to us and our hill as evidence. WE WOULD SAY TO OIJR FELLOW CRAFTSMEN IN DISTRICT NO. 2. WHOSE SERVANTS WE WERE PTTRiNO OUR ATTEMPT TO SE CURE THE PASSAGE OF THE VAR IOUS RILLS, THAT MR. PLUMMER IS NOT FOR US.

When the time came for the presentation of resolutions, Represen tative Hchofleld presented the follow ing resolution: *• 'Resolved, That house bill known as the general liability bill be taken out of tne hands of the judiciary com mittee and come be!ore the house as a committee of the whole.' " "Hoth Scofleld a"' l . Garner mt.de lengthy and very sfJfeeches in favor of tiie bill and the resolution. Garner named the judiciary commit tee the 'legislative graveyard.'. It is needless to say, with the antagonism shown by those who were antagonistic to the hill and the methods used by those who were representatives of the entire people In the practice of their retarding policy, with the evidence submitted,, that the bill was over whelmingly defeated. The vote stood 14 for placing the bill on the house calendar and 111 against. .Influential Outsiders Appealed To. "On April 4 we interviewed Smith and Bouiton and they interviewed Plummer and secured the promise from Plummer, as previously stated. "April 6 —Still no report from the committee, but we were assured that it would be reported out that night hetore the house convened. Evening again came, with Plummer's promise unfulfilled. "April G —Brother Hamilton went to Captain Delaney and asked him if he could not do something to get the bill out. Dolaney stated that there was hut one chance left. He would see Durham. "April 7—Delanay reported that he had seen Durham and Durham had no tified Plummer to discontinue his op position to the bill. This Plummer promised to do, stating, however, that It was Impossible to report before Monday morning. "Your committee, realizing that the session was too far expended to en courage any possible hope of getting the bill through the senate and to con tinue staying in Harrishurg. when, in the estimation of your committee, the purpose of our mission could not he accomplished at this session, was only a needless expenditure of time and money, loft for home." PLUMMER HAS NO CLAIM Life-Long Republican Denounces the Republican Candidate For State Treasurer As a Toady of the Gang. (Robert J. Bolton in Philadelphia Public Ledger.) The writer has voted the Republi can ticket on national questions for 40 years, for about 25 years has Just as conscientiously voted against the various rings and gangs who have steadily robbed this city and state as a corrupt and criminal combination masquerading under the stolen name of the Republican party. The time for which he has long hoped now seems to bo coming; a bright ray of light Is shining ahead, and to win, all that Is needed is individual effort and con centrated energy. While the City Party Is mainly In terested In the city offices, still the writer fails to see any reason why any voter who prefers purity in city affairs should vote for corruption Instate af fairs by supporting for state titasurer that toady of the gang, Plummer, who was forced upon the party by the Pen rose gang r.olely as a reward for his conduct in the state legislature. Plummer has no more right to the nupport of any Republican who owns himself than has the stool pigeon tick et concocted by Durham, McNichol, Lane. Martin and the rest of the de spicable gang who have brought the puce.honored party of Lincoln in Philadelphia down to be a reproach throughout the length and breadth of the United States. Mayor Berry, of (JJjostcr, the candidate of all parties, Who are against the Penrose gang, Is the peer of any man on our City Party ticket and just as deserving of elec tion as they are.

South Africa'* Flr*t Fln«ln Were Paid For la Cowi. South Africa's lirst diamonds were paid for in cows. The story is told by" Joseph li. llobinson, one of the wealthy pioneers of that country. In 1870 ho gave eight oxen and a wagon loaded with sugar and tobacco to a native in exchange for a twenty-three carat gem. "The news spread like wildfire through the countryside that a white uian was giving away wagons and oxen for bits of stone," he says."l set all the natives who came to work to seek for diamonds on one side of the Vaal river, and I brought up my own fifty men to hunt for diamouds among the bushes apd scrub on the other sido of the stream. I had bought the land on both sides of the river, so that I was working on my own property. Next morning at sunrise, when I was having my coffee, I was startled by a loud hullabalooiug, and, looking out, I saw the whole gang of my men -rushing toward mo In a state of wild excitement. "One of them had found a diamond of good size. They all had come to see what I would do with it. 'What will you give mo for it?' said the finder. 'I will give you ten cows,' I replied and sent the man into the herd to take his pick. lie marked ten of tho best cows as his own. The men had never dreamed of making such a bargain. Ten cows for a bit of stone! Off they went again and found dia monds every day. They became rich, and I accumulated a good store of precious stones. "After we had accumulated a large quantity we decidod we would bettor send them to London. We made a bolt full of small pockets. In each of which we placed a diamond. When the belt was filled my partner girded It about his body and started for Cape Town, lie never took off the belt until he reached I<ondon. And It was in this wny the first consignment of African diamonds reached London." JnpHnrae Sworda. Unlike the famous blades of Toledo and Damascus, Japanese swords are not flexible or elastic. They are un cqualcd for strength and hardness and hold a very keen edge. Japanese stee! is said to excel even Swedish stool in purity. The manufacture of the swords Is a very elaborate process. Some ceremonials and superstitious practices are intermixed with the scion* llfiu operations. Tho sword hardener is regarded as the most Important per sonage connected with the manufac ture. It Is his name that Is inscribed on the hilt and his reputation that en hances the value of a sword. Those who snape the blade, sharpen and Adorn it are of miuur importance.. Stationery for Farmers.
