The Result at Harrisburg.
The arduous and stormy struggle for
the control of the State convention end
ed in a peaceful conclusion, which was
ir. the nature of a compromise. St.-nator
Quay won his fight for the chairmanship
of the State committee; Governor Hast
ings presided over the convention; his
appointed Judges of the Superior Court
were nominated without opposition; and
these successive steps, when once deter
mined and agreed upon, were taken with
a large measure of harmony.
The immediate fruits are apparent.
The threat and what seemed to many
the imminent peril of two conventions
was happily averted. The danger of an
unfortunate contention over the Judges
and possibly of a divided ticket was
obviated. The Republican party pre
sents a united front in the campaign,
and whatever its family quarrels it stands
together against the common foe. As
has been demonstrated on other occa
sions, its representatives, when they di
rectly face the exigencies of a critical
situation, do not forget the responsibili
ties devolving upon them.
The conclusion was not reached with
out a strenuous and severe conflict. As
the result of that tremendous and earn
est struggle the victory remained with
Senator Quay. In the end it was clear
and unmistakable. Let it be freely and
unreservedly acknowledged. Twenty
four hours before the convention met
Governor Hastings, on distinct pledges
and assurances, had a majority of the
delegates. But it is the heaviest artil
lery' on the day of battle that counts,
and Senator Quay, with his great re
sources, succeeded in overturning that
majority and making one of his own.
The vote of temporary chairman was the
crucial test, and the nominal majority
was thirty. Of this number six were
contestants who had no valid claim, but
who came in under the compromise.
Reducing the analysis to its plainest
terms, Senator Quay liad twelve more
thnn one-half of the convention. It was
enough, and when it became clear it set
tled the struggle. Senator Quay has
won in the greatest battle he has ever
fought with the most prodigious effort he
has ever put forth against the most
formidable opposition he has ever en
countered .— Press.
One of the pleasant incidents of the
week, and one which has not yet appear
ed in any of the newspapers, was the
visit of Mr. Gilkeson upon Senator Quay
at the residence of Mr. Weiss. The ex-
Chairman congratulated the new Chair
man upon his victory, and after a con
versation relating to details of the work
in connection with the headquarters of
the Republcan Committee, said to the
new Chairman that if at any time he
could assist him in Bucks county, he
should not hesitate to call upon him, as
he would be glad to assist in making hi
management of the party a success. —

ANOTHER star, the forty-fifth, is to be
added to the flag. The new star will
represent Utah, and the order for its ad
dition to the national colors was issued
by Secretary Lamont on Tuesday. The
st ar will be placed to the right of the
fourth row from the top. Utah will not
attain Statehood until the fourth day of
next July, but all the flags hereafter con
tracted for and issued will contain the
star, heralding the admission of that ter
ritory into the Union.
The Slump in Wool.
The present tariff law has practically
destroyed the wool and sheep industry,
and the twenty millions of dollars or
more per annum that should go to our
farmers for wool and sheep, goes to
foreigners. Is there any wisdom in this?
Theodore Justice, the well-known wool
dealer, writing on the subject, says:
The Hecord and other Democratic pa
pers have lieen rejoicing in the enormous
increase in our imports of wool and
shoddy. This has been made necessary
by the shortage in the American clip,
which has been brought about by the
slaughter of countless numbers of Ameri
can sheep by the discouraged wool grow
ers, the price of whose wool during the
two years following Grover Cleveland's
inauguration declined 50 per cent. As
the American people must wear clothing
and as the population is increasing we
need more rather than less wool, and we
are forced to go to foreign nations for
our supply, with the effect of increasing
the foreign tide, thus eventually increas
ing the cost of clothing to the American
people. When our clip is entirely de
»trov»d we shall be compelled to buy
more wool aud shoddy of foreign nations,
and the price of clothing will probably
be higher tlii.ll it was under the McKin
ley law with the wool growers whose
flocks are destroyed without means to
buy. The quantity of wool sheared in
1895 and available for consumption in
1096 or for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1896, is 264,000,000 pounds, as against
364,000,000 pounds in 1893.
WHAT an immensity the post-office
business of this country lias become? It
is sta'-'x! that the people of the United
States use on an average 12,000,000 postage
stamps of all kinds each and every day
of the year, or a total of about 4,380,000-
000 per annum. Such figures made it
almost difficult to grasp the magnitude
01 the postal service.
Niagara Finally HJrnessed
After almost five-years of work and the
expenditure of over #3,000,000 Niagara
has finally been harnessed and power
generated by the monster 5,000-horse
power dynamos. Ths Cataract Con
struction Company are now sending out
the electricity for commercial use. The
first power was delivered to the I'itts
burg Reduction Company located at Ni
agara Falls. At the Reduction Compa
ney's works the pots used in the making
of aluminum have been tested and the
real work began on Tuesday.
The power from the power house is
sent over copper cables laid in a conduit
to the aluminum works. Everything
was found to work perfectly and great
#ati»factiou was expressed by the vllicere.
Can't Work Under Sixteen
There will be a boom in the demand
for common labor all over tlie State
shortly after this week as the result of
the enforcement of the factory laws regu
lating the employment of children under
sixteen years of age. Beginning with
September there will l>e a strict enforce
ment of the law by Factory inspector
Campbell, and thousands of boys will t>e
out of work. The law is a companion of
the new compulsory school law, and
thousands of children under sixteen
years who have worked in mills, facto
ries and shops will have to go to school.
The number of children employed in the
mills and factories of Pennsylvania is
not known as their indentity is not easily
discovered through a pay roll, but the ag
gregate will run away up in the thou
sands. The change will work hardship
in some cases as the children are very |
helpful to their parents, but the enforce
ment of the law leaves no discretion to
employers. The weeding out of boys in
the iron and steel works especially, will
provide for the employment of many
laborers.
A. quaking of the earth was felt at
New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington
and other places, last Sunday morning.
An Awful Accident.
Friday last was another big day at the
grangers' exhibition at Williams Grove,
near Carlisle, it being Grand Army Day.
Ten thousand veterans and families were
on the grounds from all sections of South
ern Pennsylvania. Addresses were made
by Congressman Stahle, and other lead
ing Grand Army men. That afternoon
a sham battle took place in an adjoining
field, and was witnessed by 10,000 old
soldiers.
During the battle a sad accident took
place. A young man, a member of the
Harrisburg Sons of Veterans, while the
cannon was about to be exploded, passed
its mouth, and the entire load of powder
went into the lad's face, burning it be
yond recognition. He will lose the sight
of both eyes. His hands are also badly
burned. Two Grand Army men received
injuries.
THE people of Pennsylvania are to be
congratulated. Whether the late row
will prove advantageous or harmful to
the Republican party is a matter of doubt
and debate among thoughtful men; but
whatever its ultimate result, it has had
at least one good effect. It has placed
an eminent politician and representative
of the State in the ranks of the political
reformers. Senator Quay is for good
government and purer politics. He says
so himself, and therefore it must be so.
IT is said that the tobbaco crop in this
country bids fair to be the finest ever
grown in this country. The texture of
the leaf appears to be fine and silky, and
if there are no destructive hail-stortns
the crop will go upon the drying-pole
in the very best condition.
AT Boston, last week, the Knights
Templar agreed to hold their next trien
nial conclave in Pittsburg.
Soldier— Boozel Reunion.
Tbe annnal reunion of Co. B.
and other members of the 134 th regiment of
Pennsylvania Yols. was held at the home
ot Mr. John Boozel near W. Sinbury,
Butler Co. on Friday August 30.
The refreshing rain which had been
earnestly prayed for during the many dry
days through which we lately passed,
came at last in all its fullness early upon
that morning much to the disappointment
of many men, women and children of both
Butler and Lawrence counties. The word
had been sent abroad that on that day
there would be a soldier and neighbor
hood reunion at the home of John Boozel,
and notwithstanding the continous falling
of rain, over two hundred rigs arrived
loaded with men and women, also many
ot the good things of life especially suited
for the innerman. We think five hundred
a low estimate for the number of persons
present, and had the day been a fair one
the number would havo much more than
doubled that amount.
Shortly after the hour of noon the hun
gry multitnde were busily engaged in a
work which none but onrselves can do for
as, and to say that the cakes weie grand
and the pies were delicious, and the collee
was good, and tbe bread was tine, and
waiters were attentive, and tb*»t every
person present was well filled and truly
happy, are facts well known to all pres
ent.
Dinner over, the members of the West
Sunbury band rendered a few pieces of
patriotic music, which did credit to the
band and were highly appreciated by all
present. And just here I would say that
the music throughout the entire program
was well selected, well played and kindl>
received by all. The meeting was thu.j
called to order and in the absence of the
President, Mr. Harlan BOOK of Euclid P
0. was unanimously chosen as president,
and your correspondent as Secretary.
Kev. J. H. Breaileu of W. Sutibury was
called upon and led in prayer after which
the president, Mr. Book made a grand
address full of honest, patriotic truths fit
ting for the occasion. He called to mem
or® many sad remembrances and experi
ances fresh in the mindß ot tbe boys in
tilue, who Blood by his side in the heat ot
the battle when the very life of our nation
was at stake in those sad days which tried
men's souls. Mr. Samuel Glenn ot West
Sunbury was then called forward and in
his own familiar way, on behalf of Mr.
Boozel and family, welcomed his com
rades, lriends and neighbors in words so
warm and kind that all must have lelt
that they oame from his heart as well as
from his lips. Among many other good
things Mr. Glenn well said, that we have
no soldiers, but that we have now and
always have had honest, patriotio men,
who were ready and wilting to delend our
country and their homes. Mr. David
Kennedy of Harlansburg then spoke and
pictured in glowing terms scenes and
trials through which he and his comrades
passad. Rev. J. H. Breaden followed and
nis usual fanny story once told, he then
addressed the audience in words lull of
truth and meanicg. One strong hit lb-
Rev. made was this, that the last week id'
August 1895 will go down in history s.s
the time of two noted events» namely tpe
great Republican Convention at Larris
burg, and tbe Boozel Reunion. Mr Xels.m
of Lawrence county then spoko in a very
pleasing manner, after which the secre
tary was called forward aud in his own
way tried to offer a few remarks concern
ing the soldiers and also a few to those
who were not soldiers. For we deem it
fitting indeed that those of us who bear
not the name of soldier should ever re
member that the liberty of hody, mind
and of aoul which we now enjoy were
bought with the sorrow, the blood and the
lives of our noble soldiers, who unwilling
ly left behind them kind homes and lov
ing families and died upon the battle field
or in the sickening prison pens.
These soldier reunions should stir up
tbe blood of every honest patriotic citizen
inoir laid today and should call upon
all men and women who love liberty aud
prosperity to come forth regardless of tho
rain and thus join in paying honor and
respect to the dead and living defenders
of our country. Mr. Boozel was one of
the 134 th regiment who volunteered to
go to bis cou it y's rescue, and was a sol
dier of whom it was said by bis comrades
could load and fire his guu faster than
anv of his comrades near him. He fought
in the battles of the Wilderness, Chancel
lorsville and Fredericksburg.and in which
he was slightly wounded three times. Mr
Boozel is now 04 years of age, '.s healthy,
alw ay s busy and respected and loved by
all who know him. The next annual re
union will be held at John McCurdy's of
Harlansburg on the last Friday of August
I£<)6. Yours Respectfully.

THE EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL
When the weather is fine the little spot I
west of town, known as the Butler Fairl

EVANS CITY.
Last week was a busy one in Evans
City, and tbe people old and young were
kept on the go to see all that was going
on. First came the Colored Minstrel
Troupe whoso plantation andjother songs
together with daucing and various comic
performances was enjoyed by the fun lov
ing portion of the town.
Then came the I. 0 0. F., rennion,

valuable priz«s were won by the visiting
wheelmen.
Then came the Union Sabbath School
pienic at Rock Point; in which all the
schools of the place (seven in number)
participated. This was a day of pleasure
and from the manner in which the after
noon was spent on tbe grounds, I think
a day of profit to all those interested in
Sabbath School work.
Next came the circus and merry-go
round with their attractions. The merry
go-round at this writing is still here and is
being liberally patronized by the y< ung
tolks.

Living Made With The Nose
There are many trades and professions
in which well developed organs o! sense are
more or less essential. A perlect sight
mast be possessed bv the engine
driver and signalman: a delicate sense of
toach characterizes the expert typewriter
and pianist: and a sensitive palate is in
dispensable to the tea taster. But it is
less frequent to Lear of lucrative employ
ment being obtained by persons possess
ing an unusually keen sense of smell.
Nevertheless, the prolessionai "smeller"
does exist, and performs very useful func
tions. Any person visiting Lhe barrel
cleaning department of one of onr large
breweries may find him busy at work,
applying his nose to the bunghole of barrel
after barrel.
It is necessary thet every barrel before j
being tilled shocld be perfectly free from j
the moulds which always make their ap j
pearance in those returned from the con
sumer: as even minute quantities of these
growths would cause the beer to stout or
turn sour. The barrels are cleansed by
placing a quantity of hot water in them,
together with a spiked iron chain; alter
which they are caused to rotate in a pe
culiar manner by special machinery, the
motion shaking the front chain into every
corner. Alter this effectual scouring
they are rinsed out and steamed for some
time to destroy any moulds present; and
are then passed on to the "smellers."
These men, who have the benefit of •x
--perience in addition to their delicate sense
of smell, can immediataly de'.ect the pre
sence of the least quantity of any injur
ious growths that would spoil the liquor.
If the barrels are judged by the smeller to
be perfectly clean, ha passes them on to
the tilled; if the reverse, they are returned
to be re-steamed.
Hundreds of barrels thns pass thronh
the hands and under the nose ot the smel
ler iu a day; a small breathing interval be
tween eacli one being necessary to pre
vent the olfactory organs lrom losing
their penetrative power.
Of all positions connected with a brew
ery. that of the "smeller" is one of tbe
most difficult to fill satisfactorily. As a
good man saves a large snm for the brew
er by insuring that no liquor snail go
wrong in the barrels, his wages are justly
higher than those of the other workmen,
His nose is indeed his fortune.
