ME. WOLVERTON
F k OR GOVERNOR.
A HINT has reached us that some
of the surrounding counties have
brou diseasing the uaiue of Hon.
Simon i'. Wolverton, of Sunbury, as
a popular candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor. It
is claimed that state leader, Col. Jas.
M. Guffey, while he has not com
mitted himself one way or the other,
said that "Mr. Wolverton might be
named."
The Intelligencer speaks for Mon
tour's Democrats, and adds many of
the better class of Republicans, when
it says that no other man would re
ceive a stronger vote than would our
friend, Mr. Wolverton.
Mr. Wolverton is an attorney of
State reputation and in public service
has had a very successful and inter
esting career. He is very well known
in this section and his popularity is
surrounded by many staunch friends,
regardless of polities.
He is a veteran of the Civil War,
having raised a company of emergency
men in 1862, of which lie was cap
tain, and served in.the 18th Regiment,
Pennsylvania Volunteers. In 18(i.'i
he was chosen captain of Company F,
36th Regiment, under the call of
Governor Curtain for 00 days' men
to resist Lee's invasion of this State.
In 1876 he was elected to the State
Senate, and releeted in 1880 ami
1884. -lie was elected to serve his
district in Congress for two terms. In
1887 he was nominated by the Demo
crats of both*branches of the Legisla
ture as the candidate for United
States Senator. At the time of the
death of Supreme Court Justice Wil
liams, Mr. Wotvcrton was tendered
an appointment to the vacancy by
Governor Stone, but declined it.
—THE Republicans seem to be cut
ting the gang loose. Neither Senator
Boies Penrose nor the old gang bosses
will be delegates to the State Repub
lican Convention, as the delegation
will be composed of men of extraor
dinarily high standing, in marked
contrast to others that have gone to
Harrisbu rg.
—Tniscis are never so had that
they couldn't be worse. Even the
political grafters whose business seems
to have gone to pot since the last
election may be able to (jnd consola
tion in the fact that there are still
some hen roosts in the country that
are not under lock and key.
—JuixiE ENDLICH, of Berks
county, has just handed down an opin
ion in which he declares that suckers
are not game fish. Of course this
applies only to the piscatorial tribe
because every one knows that the
other kind of suckers are anything
but game.
—TIIE spring election is scarcely
six weeks off and very little talk of
candidates has been heard tip to this
time. It may be possible that there
is more thinking than talking being
done. You know a clear, cool think
ing public can accomplish much.
— IF repoits are true, we must give
Penrose some credit for getting a lit
tle of his till other than through gratt
or direct robbery. Rumor says that
the Senator made a quarter of a mil
lion through a copper investment.
—THE farmers of the country have
been feeling mighty rich since they
read Secretary Wilson's annual re
port, and as for the great American
hen—she hasn't done a thing but
cackle.
—SIB OLIVER LODOE announces
that it will be 20,000,000 years be
fore the sur becomes cold. The ice
man will, therefore, resume his busi
ness in the spring.
Bloomsburger an Italian Mayor.
Joseph Ratti, treasurer anil founder
of Bloomsburg silk mill, was recently
highly honored by the citizens of
Rogeno, Italy, of which place ho is a
native. During a visit to Italy he was
unanimously elected Mayor of Rogeno
as a testimonial of high esteem. Mr.
Ratti is building at Rogouo, at great
expense, a kindergarten which' will
afford educational facilities for 200
boys.
The Joseph Ratti Hospital at Blooms
burg is another of his charities. Last
spring ho purchased a building,and af
ter equipping it with all modern con
veniences for a hospital, endowed it
for the benefit of the residents of
Bloomsburg and vicinity. The Hospit
al is now in charge of five Sisters of
Mercy, from Wilkes-Barre, who arriv
ed Saturday to begin their work at
Bloomsburg. One of the Sisters is a
graduate pharmacist, and will com
pound the medicines used at the in
stitution.
Mr. Ratti now divides his time be
tween his splendid residence at Rog
eno and the one in Bloomsburg, spend
ing six months of the year at each
placo. His estate at Rogono compares
favorably with any found in Italy. He
is a self-made American citizen, and
besides being treasurer of the Blooms
burg silk mill, is a director of the na
tional banks at that place.

FRANCIS WANTS NEW TRIAL, j
Sixty-seven Separate Reasons to be
Advanced by Attorneys.
A now trial for Stanley Francis, I ho {
promoter of the Storey Cotton Com
pany, was asked by his attorneys,
Henry J. Scott ami J. Joseph .Murphy
before Judge Holland in tlie United
States District Court, In the petition
there are G7 separate reasons cited
why the convicted man should have a
new trail.
In speaking of the proposed appli
cation for a new trial United States
District Attorney Thompson said yes
terday:"l do not think the applica
lion will be considered favorably by
ihe Judge. Francis is getting his de
serts, and we are only sorry we are
not able to meet out justice to the
rest of the Storey Cotton people. Ii
using fh • mails to defraud were only
an extraditable offense we would have
had Latiiuere some mouths ago, as
the postal inspectors have lo ated
him almost since he lied, and some of
the others, who are sojourning in
13tirope. We may bring Latiinere to
trial yet, for he seems to be in a fair
way of being brought to Philadelphia
to answer an indictment of embezzle
ment found by the Grand Jury here.
If he is extradited, tried and found
guilty on that charge we can then try
him on the charge of using the mail 4
to defraud."

Mr. Savage is the owner of the pac

Havana, Jan. s.—Domingo Beconrt,
<an old negro and Victor Molina, a
Mulatto, were garroted at the prison
here today. Both men were regarded
as "witches" .by their associates.
Their crime was the hideous murder
of a while baby, Zoila Diaz, for the
purpose of procuring Ihe heart of a
white female child which the
| "witches" prescribed as a poultice
for a certain woman as a cure for
j barrenness. The child's body was

(i hidden looked up from the pan In
which the bacon was sizzling. The
start he gave tumbled the bacon into
the lire, und the wild efforts to right
the pan before the evening meal was
spilled upset the coffee pot and put out
the blaze.
Instead of expressing an opinion
upon the happenings of the moment
Gladden sprang to his feet and hurried
to the beach Just as the light canoe
grounded on the shore.
One look into the bright face under
the red Tamo' Shanter and Gladden
was glad that the-bacon had been spill
► ed. He had been in camp for six weeks,
and even an ugly woman would have
been welcomed at the camp. To have
I this graceful guest at his supper was
r something he would not have imagined
possible ten minutes before.
' "Welcome to camp,"he said hosplta
j bly, extending his hand to assist her to
step over the side. To his surprise she
' refused his aid and sprang #o the shore
•' as lightly as a bird. With a haughty
* glance she swept past him and into the
: hut. Another moment and she stood
before him again, her eyes ablaze.
! "Where are the others?' she demand
ed. "And where are all our things?"
} "There are no others," he laughed. "I
am afraid that the limited population
3 of this camp does not permit the ap
. i ointment of a reception committee;
. tinless, indeed, you are willing to rec
> ! agnize me as such."
5 "What have you done with the otb
: ! ers?" she repeated. "Have you killed
) 1 them or have you merely driven them
| away?"
Gladden laughed. "There lias- been
1 I no one here for six weeks," he declared.
"There was this morning," she cor
_ rected. "When I left togo over to
. | town there were six here besides the
' ! guides. Now not even the things are
" left, and you have the audacity to camp
) right here. I suppose you thought that,
since you had made away with them
* | all, there was no danger of detection,
' for a few days at least. I suppose
1 you will have to kill me now to keep
1 lrom being exposed."
"Don't you think?" asked Gladden,
"that you may have made a mistake?
Camps look very much alike to per
sous unaccustomed to the woods. Per
haps you nre on the other nrm of Uiu
lake."
"There Is no mistake," she insisted.
"I steered by compass."
"Do you know how to use the com
pass?" he persisted. She looked at him
in disdain.
"Is it necessary to Insult me'/" she
demanded. "Why don't you kill me
and finish off the work you have com
menced?"
"That's a good idea," assented Glad
den, recalled by tlio last half of the
sentence. "The work I had commenced
was the getting of supper. If you are
as hungry as 1 am you will regard me
as a life preserver rather than a mur
derer."
"Without another word he went
about the work of kindling a fresh Are.
As he knelt over the twigs the girl
made a rush for the boat. lie reached
the canoe first.
"See here," he said firmly. "You are
lo:it already. I cannot have you Btlll
further confused Just because you im
agine that this is your camp and that
I have slaughtered the whole family, to
say nothing of the guides, for the sake
of your canned goods. Sit down and
rest, and after you have had supper I
will try to find you."
The girl followed him back to the
fire, cowed, but unbelieving. Skillfully
Gladden fanned the fire into a bright
glow and set the pot on. Then he
sliced fresh bacon and set out the
plates.
Presently the smell of the browning
bacon began to till the cauip, and the
girl's face softened. She did not re
alize how hungry she was until the
bacon began to fry. For the first time
she took notice that this young man,
in spite of his evidences of city breed
ing, was not only decidedly good look
ing, but skilled In woodcraft, and fear
nave way to admiration of his deft
l'eas.
"I guess you can eat that," he said
.last, as In- placed some of the bacon
■ax a plate and poured a cup of coffee
for her. Silently she accepted the food
and Gladden smiled softly to himself
us he saw the way she ate. It had
been his experience that girls were al
ways more reasonable ufter they had
been fed, and already she was unbend
ing visibly.
"Are yon convinced that 1 am more
human than you were willing to be
lieve at lint?" he asked as the plates
were at last cleared.
"Perhaps there has been some mis
take," she grudgingly assented, "but I
was so careful to steer by the compass
ihat 1 canfiot see how any mistake
could be made."
"Perhaps you turned east instead of
west," he suggested. "The camps are
on the west lake because there Is a
mail delivery over there. That is why
I chose the east lake."
"Uut this Is the west lake," she in
sisted. "Tly» village Is to the south. I
turned west."
"You turned east," insisted Gladden,
"since you are on the west lake at this
very moment."
"Look!" she cried. "The other lake
is over there." She pointed across the
point to where the river formed a strait
between the lakes.
"That Is the west lake over there," i
he assured her. Kor answer she drew ;
from her belt a tinj compass, gorgeous
in Its gold case.
"See!" she cried triumphantly. "Here
is the north. This must be the west I"
"I am al'rald," chuckled Gladden,
' that you are under the impression
that the south Is the north. That noo
dle is pointing directly away from
what you call the north."
"Certainly," wi.s the prompt re
spouse. "I mi) afraid you are not very

jike weather vanes, you know. They |
point with the airjw head from the
direction."
ilie next instant he was sorry, but !
for a moment Gladden rolled upon the
turf in an ecstasy of Joy. This was the J
explanation. She had steered her j
course by the compasses in exactly the I
wrong direction. There was but one I
camp on the west lake that resembled :
his. That was the Drlscoll camp, and j
this must be Benny Drlscoll's sister, j
lie rose to confront a very indignant
young woman.
"I don't like to be laughed at," she
said in a hjjrt little voice. "If I have '
made a mistake I want togo back to 1
the other lake where they will be kind I
to me."
' My dear Miss Drlscoll," he cried, "I
will take you over to your camp lii a i
Jiffy, but not until you have forgiven
my rudeness."
"You knew who I was all along," she
said reproachfully.
"l Just this moment found out," he
assured her. "I remembered that the
Drlscoll camp probably looked like this
to a new comer to the woods. That is
where you belong. Say you will for
give me, and I'll paddle you right
over."
For answer she ran to the canoe and
sprang into it. Gladden made a leap
and sprang upon the bow Just as with
a sweep of the paddle she cleared the
shore.
"I'm not going to let you go until you
say you are not angry with me," he
said. "Do you suppose I will let you
go in this way?"
She glanced into the resolute blue
eyes and saw therein not only mastery,
but an ardent affection that caused her
eyes to veil themselves beneath the
lids.
"I forgive you," she said, with a little
tremble In her voice, "but please take
me home. lam tired."
lie tied his own canoe behind and
paddled down the lake as the silvery
moon rose from behind the shoulder of
old Greytop and silvered the wind rip
ples of the lake.
Not a word was spoken, but It seem
ed to Gladden that their voices sang in
unison, and he was sorry when at last
the Drlscoll camp was In sight.
They welcomed the prodigal and her
rescuer and made him spend t' e even
ing. Later Gladden, stooping to un
fasten the painter of his cauoe, rose to
face the earnest eyes.
"I am sorry 1 was so rude," she said
softly. "Can I make atonement?"
"Let me come again," he said as he
bent over the tiny hand.
"Tomorrow," she whispered as she
snatcherl her hand away, and as Glad
den bent to his paddle the swirling
waters whispered that she added
"Early," and he had read In her eyes
the message she had seen in his own
earlier In the evening.
The bridesmaids and ushers never
knew why their favors were in the
shape of tiny compasses, but they have
Mrs. Gladden's assurance that they arc
lucky.
Cold Enilurnnce of fcleplianta.
Writing to the Zoologischcs Garten ot
Berlin, Professor Julius Schott stated
that at a local menagerie he once saw
an elephant exposed In the open air tc
the conditions of a temperature below
freezing point, the animal appearing to
suffer no Inconvenience, though evl
dently conscious of an unusual environ
ment. But the palm may be
an Indian elephant named Topsy, the
property of a Mr. Philadelphia, a trav
cling showman. Some years ago, find
ing himself In northern Sweden and the
business of his calling at a low ebb,
he decided to make for Stroein, u
small town almost within the arctic
circle, and attend the annual fair. Foi
the Journey of thiriy-tive miles the ani
mal's body was caparisoned in reindeer
skin, and he was provided with boots
of the same material. The weather
was very cold, the temperature varying
from VI degrees centigrade to 20 de
grees centigrade, and snow lay thickly
around. The inhabitants of Stroeu
and the neighboring P&pps were amaz
ed at tiie unwonted sight. Money pour
ed into the coffers of the enterprising
showman, and when the market was
over and the return Journey made the
elephant seemed little If any the worse
for his experience.
Drilled t'olnn.
Perhaps one of the cleverest tricks
ever played on Uncle Sam's money
marts is credited to a Philadelphia wo
man. She had been engaged with a
gang of counterfeiters and had learned
the secrets of the work. She hired a
room with steam power, and with the
aid of small drills she dug out Ave and
ten dollar gjld pieces, leaving nothing
but a very thin outside shell. This was
effected by drilling through the milled
edge of the coin. She then replaced
the extracted gold with some baser
metal, taking care to preserve the exact
legal weight of the coin, and then cov
ered up with a small bit of extracted
gold the tiny hole made by the drill.
By this ingenious device she extracted
$3 worth of gold from every live dollar
gold piece and $7.50 worth of gold from
every ten dollar gold piece that she
handled, mid yet the coin remained ap
parently as before. This device Is pro
nounced to be the most absolutely safe
and clever of all dishonest practices
that has ever been resorted to in con
nection with money. Success made her
reckless, ami arrest and Imprisonment
soon stopped the woman's operations.—

Football la 17.10.
We who complain of hoops and whip
ping tops and other games played In
the streets, to the annoyance of foot
passengers, may congratulate ourselves
that football Is no longer to be reck
oned with those. "In winter," \te are
told by an old writer, "football is a
useful and charming exercise. It is a
leather ball about as big as one's head,
filled with wind." We do not know if
this description is Intended to be hu
morous. "This Is kicked about from
one to another In the streets by him
that can get at it, and that is all the
art of it," concludes tills disparaging
writer, who thinks so little of our
beads and our games. There Is an old
print extant of football players in the
Strand In 1730, all In hats, coats and
wigs. This sport among tho traffic
lends a new significance to the words
of the Lancashire poet, "To play at log
gets, nine holes or ten pluues; to try it
out at footballe by the shlnnes."—Lon

Returns With a Bride.
I. Stein, tho Russian shoemaker,
who left for New York on December
•-iB, returned to Danville last evening ■
bringing with him a handsome young
bride.
The present is Mr. Stein's second
matrimonial venture,his first wife dy- i
ing in Danville a conplo of years ago. ;
Tlie wedding took place in New York
on last Tuesday evening, the bride be
ing Miss Annie Miller. Accompanying
the newly wedded couple were the lit
tle son and daughter of the groom, who
following his first wife's death lived ,
with their aunt in New York.
Mr. Stein's bride liko himself, is a
•' native of Russia, although she has been
in America two years. ' They knew
each other in Russia and that their
lives should unite in the bond of mat
rimony in a strange land after so
many years of separation and trial is
iudoed something of a romance.
The groom is a very intelligent
young Hebrew,who fought for a num- t
ber of years in the Russian army. On I
several occasions interviews with him '
were printed in these columns ami
proved very interesting reading by
reason of his graphic description of
life in the Russian Army and his in
telligent forecast as to the result of
the war, which was found to accord
precisely with facts as they occurred.

Darwin g«°ve it as his opinion that

which tend to verify the belief. Ob
serving one morning that the tendrils
of a convolvulus on bis veranda had
decidedly leaned over toward his log
as he lay In an attitude of repose, he
tried a series of experiments with o
long polo, placing It In such a position
that the leaves would have to turn
away from the light In order to reach
It In every case he found that the
tendrils set themselves visibly toward
the pole and in a few hours had twined
themselves closely aruund It.

from shortness of breath after ar.y
li it lo exertion, palpitation of the heart;
and at times terrible pain in the region
of tlio heart, so serious that I feared
that I would some time drop dead upon
the street. One dny 1 rend one of your
