THK suicide record of the world for the
year ending September 30 last, is said to
be 185,000, an increase of nearly 20.000
over 1894.
AT the recent election at Williamstown,
N. J., a voter absent-mindedly voted a
two-dollar bill. The ballot he found later
ou in his vest pocket. The election
board accepted the involuntary contribu
tion, which they expended for cigars.
FREDERICK GOINGS, a young negro,
begged food at the residence of Hamilton
Gelsbert, near Frederick, Md., last Sat
urday. After eating he assaulted Lillie
Jones, who he discovered was alone in
the house. The negio broke her nose
and cut her with a razor. He was arrest
ed and held for a hearing Monday. A
few hours later he was taken from jail by
a mob and hanged to a tree on which, a
few years ago, a negro numed Bigus was
lynched for the same crime.
IX is reported that President Cleveland
thinks the general Democratic defeat all
along the line, was not a condemnation
of him and his Administration, but was
the result of local issues and part
y a revolt against party bosses. It is no
doubt true that the Democratic determ
ination to overthrow Gorman in Mar\ -
land had considerable to do in giving
that State to the Republicans. It is also
probably a fact that the vigorous repudi
ation of the party platform by the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor in Ken
tucky insur ed his defeat and the election
of Colonel Bradley. But the local issues
in those States had nothing at all to do
with the vote in the other States.
PENNSYLVANIA DAY at the Atlanta
Exposition, last Thursday, was attended
by 5,000 citizens of the State, and they
were addressed by Gov. Hastings and
Lieut Gov. Lyons and Justice Williams.
Hastings made an interesting statement
of the progress in the State. The visi
tors were greeted with inusic and cheers.
THE war ships of the civilized nations
of the world, including two of the L nited
States, have assembled in the Mediter
anean for the purpose of forcing the Sul
tan to protect the Armenians. The Porte
has written to the protesting powers in
reply to the latter's demands to know
what steps are being taken to restore or
der in Armenia, stating that 80,000 re
serves have been ordered to Armenia at
once. The Sultan has issued an irade,
decreeing that all persons who have been
wounded or deprived of their property
through the recent uprisings in Asia Mi
nor shall be clothed, housed and fed at
the expense of the state until the situa
tion clears up. The irade extends to the
guilty and innocent alike.
LAST Thursday was the last (lay of the
C. W, convention, at Hartford and con
tributed the most sensatioiial episode of
the term. Mrs. Poteat, wife of the Rev.
E. M. Poteat; pastor of the Calvary Bap
tist church, where the convention is be
ing held, during an address, said: I
would as soon send a son of mine to hell
as to Yale college.
A WASHINGTON correspondent says
that the Republican National Convention
will not be held earlier than the tenth of
next June. That was made certain when
Chairman Carter of the National Com
mittee issued his call fo r the Committee
to assemble in Washington on the tenth
of December to select the time and place
for holding the Convention. From the
talk of members of the Committee and
other prominent Republicans who have
been here recently, the honor of being
the convention city next year lies be
tween Chicago and Pittsburg, with the
chances slightly favoring the former.
San Francisco has some earnest friends
on the Committee; but should they suc
ceed in getting the Convention held there
it would surprise a great many people,
themselves among the number.
DURING the argument for a new trial
in the Holmes case in Phila, last Monday,
Mr. Shoemaker one of Holmes' attorneys
presented the affidavit of a woman, stat
ing that Pietzel had told her that he in
tended to commit suicide. This affidavit
was proven, then and there, to have been
purchased, Shoemaker was arrested on a
charge of subornation of perjury. '
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has issued the
customary Thanksgiving Proclamation,
in which he appoints Thursday, Novem
ber 28, for observance as a day of thanks
giving and prayer.
THE total debt of this State is about
six and a half million dollars, none of
which we believe will come due until
1912. Every year a certain sum is set
apart in the sinking fund to meet and
Say this indebtedness when it becomes
ue. Some of these days, when times
grow better, we shall have a larger snr
plus and be able to wipe out our debt l>e
fore it matures. The amount we owe is
a bagatelle to our great Commonwealth,
but at the same time we might as well be
out of debt as in it.
IT might lie well for those interested in
good roads to investigate the French
system of road tax. In France all car
nages pay yearly tax, ranging from $9.50
to 119.30, according to the size of the ve
hicle. Moreover, not a bicycle can go
on the road until the tax on it has been
paid, which amounts to $1.93 a year.
Bicyclists in this country would be glad
to pay a dollar a year on every wheel if
by that means they might have roads
they could ride over with ease and pleas
ure. It would not be unreasonable at all
to tax every wheel a dollar a year.
A MINNESOTA paper asserts that a ton
of corn will yield 25 percent more heat
than a ton of coal, and says the feeling
against using a food product for fuel
when the price permits JS nothing more
than an empty sentiment.

The Border State Victory.
Within the past year each of the old
border state s has returned a Republican
majority. At the election last week
Maryland returned a majority of 19,016
for the Republican candidate for Govern
or and Kentucky one of 17,000. Last
year Delaware elected the Republican
candidate for Governor by 1321, West
Virginia was Republican 011 the vote for
Congressmen and Missouri elected a Re
publican Judge to the Supreme Court by
Virginia, Maryland and Delaware —the
Republicans have elected a majority of
the legislature, and in Kentucky the
Legislature is a tie.
These changes have affected all these
States alike. They are to be seen and
traced from Delaware Bay to Kansas.
They have been accomplished by the vote
of the most intelligent class and the most
prosperous communities in all five States.
It has sometimes been charged against
Republican victories in the far South that
the vote which won them came exclusive
lv from those who labored with their
hands and was unduly influenced by con
siderations of color. We trust the day is
far distant when any right-minded man
will think the less of a ballot because it is
cast by a hand hard with toil or darkened
by the act of the Creator, but not even
this captious objection can be raised to
the great political change in these border
states. .
Wherever there is a mine or a factor}-,
wherever cities are growing and new
hamlets coming into existence—there, in
all these States, the Republican vote has
been heaviest and the Democratic defeat
most complete. But it is impossible to
attach a mere partisan importance to
these victories. They do not show that
in the next Presidential election either
Kentucky or Missouri will vote for Re
publican electors though the elections
this vear and last do leave West \ irginia
and Delaware debatable States and Mary
land worth a struggle. The change in
these States is not from party to party.
It is deeper. It is effected by the causes
which create parties and which underlie
them and their acts.
The border states for ten years past
have been the scene of great economic
changes. West Virginia, for one tring,
in ten years has trebled its coal output
and that of Kentucky has nearly doubled
while Missouri has increased its coal pro
duct in ten years just five-fold. All these
States have made a like industrial ad
vance. They have increased their manu
factures, they have diversified their in
dustries and they have added to those
whose livelihood and prosperity depends
upon a sound currency and protection to
native industry.
These changes, silent and unseen, have
revolutionized these States. Bland last
year and Blackburn this thought they
were running in the Missouri and Ken
tucky of ten years back. They were not.
Their States have repudiated their un
sound financial views. The boundary
of honest money was once Mason and
Dixon's line. The elections sLow that it
uow lies south of the border states. So
on all the greater economic issues. These
victories have not been won on mere
party lines, important as these are. They
stand for more. They stand for the
steady uplift by which States are redeem
ed from barbarism and turned into thriv
ing industrial communities. They rep
resent the advance of men, the creation
of wealth, education, civilization and en
lightenment. If this change and advance
has been made visible by Republican vic
tories it is because on the whole the Re
publican party in all its history has stood
for the progress of humanity, the eleva
tion of the people and sound increase of
national wealth. —Press.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
One of the Urge crib? for Allegheny
City's new water works at Montrose was
sunk in the river last week It is 900 feet
long, 32 feet wide and Gleet deep. The
length of the entire crib will be 2,500 feet
The river bed was dredged 10 feet, and
the crib will be four feet below the river
bed. The government compelled this sub
mergence, so as not to obstruct navigation.
Tne material used in making the crib is
Hemlock, which will not rot under water.
From this great filter, influent pipes will
run to the pumping station, and thence
tho volume will be -hot throng h a five-foot
conduct to the Mt. Troy reservoirs.
Miss Anna Bowers, wdi was bitten by a
mad dog at her home on Brush Creek, died
after three days o! terriole suffering, Her
case was a singularly sad one Tne dog
which bit her had beon chasing chickens
and ttien ran into the lilM* to the horse-.
Miss Bowers followed aid at the door was
a'tacked and bitten "'J the hand She
seized the dog by the neck and her brother
came and shot it. It is said that not bing
was done to gnard otf hydrophobia, .vhich
made its appearance a few weeks later.
The accounts of her sufferings are pathetic
indeed. She had tilled the p.ace of mother
to nine younger children, and her anxiety
for them durug the lucid intervals
touching in the extreme. Her sufforing
laste I thiee days until death came to her
release.
John V. Humes, ol Tarentnm, aged 60
years, father of a largo and respected fami
ly. and a member of the Meth idist Episco
pal chnrct . was jailed last week, on an un
bailable offence, charged against him by
W". J. Stale}', of the same town and church.
Staley has' a daughter, Mabel, aged 8
years, and Hume ■ is alleged to have shown
her a great deal of attention. The motuer
and her aunt, according to the information,
put a watch on Hume.- and discovered him
mistreating the girl. To this evidence was
added the revolting story told by the child.
Some time ago the B'.airsville people
very liberally .subscribed SI2OOO as a bonus
which they agreed to give the Whitney
i.ilass Company in consideration oi the
company purchasing the West I'enu Glass
Works and operating them 10 months in a
year. Thw Whitney people purchased tlio
plant for a song and started the works.
But they only operated them a short time
and then shut down. How this was not
what the subscribers to the bonus fund
wanted and was not in accordance with
the agreement, and they stopped further
payment of the bonus. This did liot suit
the Whitney Company and they made a
demand tor the balance of the bonus and
threatened to sue for it. But the company
failed to consider the article or agreement
entered into with the subscribers in which
the company agreed to operate the works
straight along, 10 months each year, 'liave
no compahy store, &c, and when they
talked about enforcing the payment ot the
balance of the bonus, the people kicked
and proposed to issue an execution and
sell the plant. This was a course the
glass company had not counted on aud
they now propose to wipe out the agree
ment with the bonus committee and oper
ate ihe plant as they please, establish a
company store, sell lots. <tc.

QUALITY and QUANTITY.
How Goodf That is one of the questions ever confronting the buyers of Dry Goods.
The other is, How UucaT Some dealers continually harp upon the quality of their
goods and try to give thein a flcititious value by asking an extraordinary prioe. Others
talk quantity only and sacrifioe worth to bulk. Our plan is to give the belt quality in
the largest quantity. More goods and better goods tor a dollar than any store in town.
