We hear much of proposed trolley lines, these days, and it may be inter esting to know that there are something over thirty-thousand miles of trolley line in the conntry today, or about what all the steam roads of the country amounted to forty years ago. These trolley lines usually pay good dividends, and the mileage is rapidly increasing, though at present, there is a great field for inventors in the use of electricity, as only about fifteen per cent of the heat developed from the combustion of the coal is now made applicable. The action of the Pennsylvania Rail road in determining to convert most of the heavy traffic lines of the Long Island system into electric roads is an event of unusual importance. It fol lows fast on the decision of the New York Central to use electricity entirely within the city limits of New York. It is perhaps the more significant because only three years ago, after a very care ful examination of the subject, electri cal engineers and railway experts came to the conclusion that there was no economy in making the transfer from steam to electricity. Since then there have been a number of inventions by which the so-called third-rail system has become not only absolutely safe, but mnch more economical than steam. AT a private ship-yard near Seattle, Wash., last week, the new battleship "Nebraska" was successfully launched. She will displace 15000 tons of water, is 441 feet long, and her contract price is 18,738,000. Her battery will be similar to that of the "Connecticut." POLITICAL. The Republican county candidates left Butler, Monday morning, for a tour of the northern part of the county. In New York the Democrats seem to have abandoned all hope of electing Parker, and are confining their efforts to the governorship. Gilt campaign buttons with Parker's portrait haye been ordered for distribu tion in the East and silver ones in the West. The Pittsburg Dispatch says tMa is a delicate tribute to the candi date wiio is tnnning on a telegram in one section and a platform in another. The Republicans in York state now have matters well in hand and are per fectly confident of winning, both in state and nation. The foundations for a ' whirlwindfin ish" having been laid since the national candidates were nominated, the last four wqeks of the campaign will be de voted to speech making, proselyting among the partisan voters, appealing to the independents, and that greatest of all political work—inducing the citi- KAM, first to register and finally to vote. The turn events have taken in Wis consin, the Republican national com mittee having asked the LaFollette fac tion to assist in a meeting practically removes all doubt as to this state being in doubt. Encouraging reports from Indiana and Connecticut also set at rest any fear as to these states, being other frhnn Republican. The Merecr county Prohibs filed both certificates of nomination and nomina tion papers with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, neither was accepted by him, and they applied to the Dauphin •county court for a writ of mandamus. William Randolph Hearst, who is president of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, has come to the sur face from somewhere long enough to ]«ue an address to the organization. "Every member," he says, "will render a great service to his party, and, what is far more important, a great service to the Nation, by expounding and advocating earnestly from now un til election day the principles and the beliefs which constitute the force of the Democratic party." Yea—but what are they—these prin ciples? The Hon Tom Watson, candidate of the People's party for President of the United States, is disgnsted with the Democrats as a body. Of course, he has no love' for the Republicap party, either, but he concedes that the Repub licans at least have principles and pol icies, while their deponents have noth ing which they can call their own. That) is why he is disgusted. Accord ing to his view of the situation, the Democratic party died at St. Louis when Bryanism was rejected. National Chairman Oortelyou is not making any loud boasts of what he is doing, but he is conducting a vigor ous campaign and has the situation well m hand. His confidence of Mr. Roose vel's election La not of the frothy kind, but is based upon the moet substantial grounds. At a recent visit to the White House, he said to Mr. Roosevelt: "Mr. President, I believe yon will win, and you will win without a promise, expressed or implied, having been given a corporation, interest or in dividual in exchange for their support. " The Canadians will have their elec tion on Thursday, November 3d —five days before ours. Both parties there Liberal and Conservative—are now committed to the protective policy and the main issue of the present election is the question of public ownership of railroads. Both parties are committed to the construction of a new trans-con tinental railroad, to give the wheat fields of the Canadian northwest an outlet independent of any connections with the railway system of the United States. The Liberal party proposes to permit private enterprise to build anil operate the road with government aul and under government regulation Mr Borden has declared in favor of public ownership of the enterprise. It ex pected that the Liberal party will w in, and that Sir Wilfrid Lauvier will be re turned to power. The construction of the new road and the general policy of which it is a part will have an import ant bearing upon American interests, not yet appreciated in this country. THE battleship Georgia was launched at Batb, Maine, Tuesday. She is simi lar in size, and will be in equipment, to the Connecticut and Nebraska. WAR NOTES. The news from Manchuria is surpris ing—the Russians hnve stopped retreat ing and have begun advancing. Kuropatkin issued a stirring address to his army a few days ago, and began an advance all along the line—about forty miles long—attacking the Japa nese outposts, who retired before him giving np one position after another. This news comes from Russian sources and at the same time the Chinese repoit that a Japanese army is getting to the rear of the Russians No news what ever comes from Japanese sources The Japanese generals and statesman are laboring under no illusions with »e --gard to the arduous nature of the con flict in which they are engaged The victories they hbve won and the advan ces which they have made do not blind them to the fact that the Russians can not afford to admit defeat until they have strained every nerve and exhaust ed every ret-onrce in an effort to retrieve their sadly damaged prestige. It is very well understand at Tokio, and it must have been understood there before the momentous decision was reached to sub mit the pending controversy to the ar bitrament of arms, that the Russians would make a most desiierate and deter mined struggle to enforce their numeri cal superiority, and to justify the repu tation upon which they have for so many years been living, and npon the strength of which so much of their territorial ex pansion has been made. The Success which the Japanese have achieved must surely have exceeded their most sun guine hopes, but they do not fail to re alize that the real test, the test of en durance, is yet to come. They are preparing to meet it in a spirit of patient confidence and stern resolution. The Miniver of Finance, announced, last week, the intended is sue at an early date of another domestic loan, which will it is expected be readi ly and eagerly taken, while additional revenue is to be raised by an increase of taxation. It was the estimate of the veteran statesman. Count Oknma. the leader of the Progressive part} - , express ed at % meeting of the United Clearing House of Tokio, that the war could be carried on for two years at a cost to Japan of one billion dollars, and he did not entertain any doubt as to either the ability or the willingness of the country to provide the money. The cost to Rus sia would be at least three times as great, and the speaker laid much stress npon the weakening and disabling in fluence of the corruption by which ev ery department of the Russian Govern ment is notoriously pervaded. He thought that this would inure material ly to the Japanese advantage and this is an opinion which all competent.and dis interested observers share. Altogether there is reason to believe that the Japanese will be able to stand the strain better and longer than their opponents Many things are in their favor, and chief among these things is the patriotic enthusiasm of the masses of their people. Whether Kuropatkin by his advance is merely putting up a bluff to cover his retreat to the position at Tie pass, or whether he really means to attack the Japs the rolling of the tide of war beyond Mnkden will bring joy to the hearts of the Chinese, foi it is a holy pity, whose very earth is so sacred that the city constantly suffers from a dearth of fuel because the government will not permit any coal mining operations in that region, for fear of disturbing the deities and ancestral spirits in their subterranean haunts. It is the ancient capital of the Manchu dynasty end all the paraphernalia of regal state are still scrupulously preserved. There is a temple of heaven, in which sacrifices are offered as at Peking, but by the emperor's proxy. In adjoining parks are beards of sacred spotted deer, and Mongolian parks containing palaces and temples, and tombs of milch cows for the emperor's service, in readiness for his visit at any time, even should that visit be deferred for more centuries. There are thousands of acres of ancient emperors of the Manchu dynasty. The visits of the emperors to Mukden have been discontinued for 130 years, but their "shadows" are always there by means of pictures, and the rites of em peror worship have never ceased. The palaces, as at Peking, are an extensive group of richly adorned towers and pa villions connected by magnificently em bellished avenues and monumental gateways. In one place there is a wide paved avenue flanked by colossal statues of elephants, horses, cows and camels, and white marble pillars with carved clouds encircling them as if they were the pillars of heaven. A white marble tablet nearly 30 feet high, on the back of a marble tortoise, bears an inscrip tion commemorating the deeds of Tai Tsung, the Manachn conqueror of China, who compelled the Chinese mi n to wear the queue, but could not make the Chinese women cease deforming their feet. The Chinese government made frantic appeals to the command ers of both armies not to disturb the an cestral spirits by fighting around the sacred tombs, and both promised to re spect the holy places. GREAT BATTLE RAGING. Yestesday's dispatches stated that tie two armies had come together and that a great battle was raging. The reinforcements lately received ty the Russians aives them the numerical superiority, and the Japs had contract- ! ed their lines to about twenty miles. In the artillery duel preceding the battle, the Japs seem to have had the best of it, driving the Russians from several of their positions. During a fight at one village clouds of dust pecu- j lar to the conntry and the season blind ed the combatants. This morning's dispatches say that, a great battle is raging near the Yentai coal mines, with result yet in donbt. At the meeting of the Cabinet in Washington. Tuesday, the violation by Russia of her treaty obligations to us, by the seizure of United Sfatts wail watte." on board the British steamer "Calchas" was discnesed and Russia will be asked to explain. One of the sriznies made by the Yal divostock fleet during its brief period of pernicious activity in Japanese waters was that of the British steam ship Calcinis, boned from Seattle to Yokohama with a cargo of flonr and general merchandise. It was understood at the time that the seizure was made upon the ground that the flonr was contrabrand of war, but since then the Russian Government, receding from its original position upon ! this point, has admitted that provisions ! are only to be treatod as coutrabrand i when it can be shown that they are in ; tended for belligerent use, and the flonr , taken from on board the Calchas and : confiscated by the Russian authorities j has been paid for by them. It transpires, however, that tho ves sel itself is still being detained at Vla divostok, and that its release is being resisted by the Russian crown advocate upon the ground that it contained mail addressed to the Japanese Government c x>mmnnicating information of value to the enemy. Under these circum stances, the owners of the Blue Funnel Steamship Line, to which the Calchas belonged, notified the Postmaster Gen eral at Washington that thev must re fuse to carry auy more mail for Japiin so long as the war continues. Snch interception is a distinct and fl* grant violation of treaty obligations and an act of unfriendliness which this conntry cannot without a loss of self-respect fail to resist and to resent. Under no circumstaces is mail in tran sit upon a neutral vessel subject to be treated as contrabracd. The mail for Japan, which the Russian authorities seized, wos at ths time of its seizuie constructively in the possession of the Uuiled States, for which the owners of the steamship Calclws were acting as agents aud neither the Russians nor any one else had or could have any right to tamper with or detain i. 1 . SPEAKING of the war-correspondents the Sunday Gazette says it is a "fact that the only correspondent who has really distinguished himself is the un fortunate Butler lad \vho was shot and killed. The rest of them haven't been permitted to come close enough to get killed; some got no fuither than Tokyo and one actually remained in Berlin, wheie be is probably waiting for the Yellow Peril. When the late Stephen Crane was sent to report the Grecc- Tnrkish war, the paper empol>ing him sent another man along to see that Crane did not get lost, strayed or stolen. The papers have neglected similar pre cautions in the present war. and Mar shal Oyania is generously seeing to the ccsrespondents' safety himself. The correspondents don't like this, their employers don't like it, the great public doesn't like it. But what are they go ing to do about it? Matthew Arnold's humorous picture of "Disuiark at his horse's head, the crown prince folding his stirrup, and the old king of Prussia hoisiting Russell into the saddle," li:is not influenced Japanese politeness or Russian military etiquette Both are keeping the war correspondent at a dis tance and under the censor's watchful eye, and it is apparent that nations en gaging in future wars must do the same if they value victory tomorrow more than newspaper headlines today." The Concord Centennial. Though the weather was unfavorable the old church of Concord, near Middle town, was crowded last Tuesday for the Centennial Celebration. Several hnnd red people were present and among them at least a dozen trom Butler, who greatly enjoyed the occasion. Entertainment for all had been pro vided at the church, the program as printed was carried out, several inter esting addresses were made, and the Centennial was a success. SOME vpry able' articles have lately been published regarding railroad acci dents; but collisions due to mistakes by employees, like the one in Missouri, Monday, can only be prevented by the double track. The results of these col lisions. however—the telescoping of the cars and the horrible slaughter of human beings -can be prevented, or at least modified, by building the coaches with steel-frames, as are the Pullmans; and it would not be a bad idea to re quire the heavy Pullmans to be run next to the engines Legislation—both state and national--regarding the con struction, equipment and management of our railroads ttems to Le needed. Wreck of an Excursion Train. The tracks of the Missouri Pacific R R., near Warrensburg Missouri were the scene of a collision and wreck, Mon day, by which twenty-two people were killed outright, seven so badiy injured that they died soon after, and about sixty injured. The account of the acci dent reads as follows: —"The passen ger train, consitifig of two day coaches, a Pullman and a caboose, was loaded with World's fair excursionists from Southern Kansas and Southwestern Missouri. The Wichita passenger train had been cut in two at Pleasaut Hill, on account of the heavy load and a loco motive attached to the front car with out a baggage car as a buffer. Tho ex tra freight had been sidetracked at Montserrat for the first section of the Wichita train, which carried signals that a second section was following. A local passenger train passed and the freight crew took the local for the sec ond section of the Wichita train, and pulled out of the sidetrack Three miles west the freight met the second section. The impact telescoped the tender of the passenger locomotive and the front car, which was full of passengers, and it was here that the i-acrifice of life took place. The scene of the wreck was on the down grade, on either side of which there was a steep rise. Both trains had put on extra steam to carry them np the opposite hill, and when they met at the curve at the lowest point, they were running at P. terrific rate. When the trains met the heavy freight train pushed the passenger engine back into the first coach. The tender of the passenger engine literally cut the coach in two in the center, and never stopped until it had plowed itself half way tbiongh the car and its passengers, kill ing those in the forward end instantly and mangling all within reach in a most horrible manner Half a dozen who were not killed outright were so terri bly injured that they died beforo tht-y could be removed from the debris. Many of the dead were almost unrecog nizable. Arms and legs were dismembered in several cases, and together with bag gage and pieces of wreckage were tum bled together into a confused mass of bleeding, human forms. The next two coaches were also badly damaged, being torn up and windows smashed bnt in these cars the passengers fared better, nil except a few escaping with slight injuries. The Pullman remained upritrht and none of its occupants were huit beyond sustaining a severe shak ing up. Nixon Theatre, Pittsburg. THE TWO ORPHANS-NEXT WEEK.

"When the re vival was recently made at the New Amsterdam Theatre, N.

Erie's delightful sitnation and broad, level regular streets are very pleasing. Old inhabitants say the lake is receding every year and large tracts which used to be covered with water are now culti vated. There is but little water to see frcm the city but the harbor is kept dredged cnt and the wharves were lined with fishing boats and lake steamers. The Oid Soldiers Home, where 600 veterans live, and the Jarecki factories were places of interest. Although Erie more than three times ns large as Butler, prices aud rents on business properties are very little higher than in Uutler. because thtre is so much more room. Every thing seems to be cheaper there except coal and gas. which josts 33 cents per thousand, and is piped over from Cony and Titusville. Etie has two splendid large market houses, where tho farmers take their produce and the housewives hie themselves early each morning and lay in the djijs supplies at more rt-n-ou able rates than tha stores can give. —Along the lake the cornfields and tree foliage was green, showing they had had piaetically LO frost as yet Grapes and apples seemed unusually DEATHS.

The eminent conductor, Walter Damrosch and his New York Sym phony Orchestra, opens a two weeks' engagement at the Pittsburg Expo sition, on Monday afternoon, Oct. 10. The days of the wonderful Ex- Bosition are* fast Hearing a close, as ae present season will reach an end at tne conclusion of the Damrosch ! engagement. The conductor fjives his final concert on Saturday night, October 22. and on that day the doors of the Exposition will close until next season. Damrosch is well known to all real lovers of music and has been heard in Pittsburg frequently. It is a well known fact that when Victor Herbert last year resigned the con ductorshlp of the Pittsburg Orches tra. considerable effort was made to secure Damrosch as his successor. Word of this readied New York, where the musician is very popular and immediately there arose a storm of protest against Damrosch's leav ing the nv tropolis. Negotiations between the managers of the Pitts burg Orchestra and Mr. Damrosch wi r conducted for some time, but lie was coo.polled to refuse the very flattering oiler made him, owing to the fact he was so much in demand in New York. Damrosch has with him a fine orchestra of carefully eicked music ians and the melody that they will create, will be of the best attainable. The New York conductor is consid ered one of the bl s' musicians and orchestra leaders in America and his engagement in Piitsburg never fa Is to attract huge audiences. During the past season of the Pitts burg orche-tra Mr. Damrosch con ducted two of the concerts at Car n< gie Music hall and was greeted with considerable popular enthus iasm Th s was one of the rare occasions that a Pittsburg audience heard Damrosch i utside the music hall at the Exposition. The con ductor and his orchestra have been coming to the l'ittsburg Exposition for years and Damrosch's name is always closely associated with the Exposition. In addition to having one of the best orchestras in the world at tne Exposition next week, there are countless other attractions such as the toboggan, the theatorium; the Egyptian Temple of Mirth, the elec trical wonders of the World's Fair, and countless other equally Inter esting and popular amusements. TEAS THAT AW WORTH FORTUNES Twelve Hundred Kinds Are lu China's Show at the World's Fair—The Most Populous Nation of the World Fur the First Time Makes an Exhiul: Worthy of Her Greatness. Many expositions of stupendous char acter make up the World's Fair of ISJO4. Each part is a vast and distinct 6liow. Each building shelters many acres of wonderful things—wonderful because they are the choicest of their kiud. Every nation on the globe is represented. Every state and territory Is here with its best and making the most of its greatest opportunity. The fact that China has not been a large exhibitor at world's fairs gives to her great exhibit here a prominence quite exceptional. It Is a wonderland of ingenious productions. We know China best by reason of her extensive exports of teas, which have found a vast market in the United States for generations. Iler commercial interests therefore prompted her to make a dis play of teas that we should not for get. In sealed glass jars China displays In the Liberal Arts Palace some 1,200 kinds of tea. Young Hyson and Old Hyson have a string of tea relations longer than the genealogical chain of a Plymouth Rock. They are neatly se lected "chops," in tlie language of the tea farmer, and these classes do not embrace medicinal teas, which are quite another lot in the rather modest number of 400. The teas exhibited vary in price from a few cents a pound to some rare and exclusive kinds that are worth their weight in gold, the tea in the latter cases being placed on one side of the scales and pure gold on the other— that is to say, the tea of this expensive kind is worth about §2O gold an ounce. Only a very small quantity of this ex clusive leaf is exhibited, and it is grown In carefully guarded tea planta tions or gardens right under the shad ows of the great wall of China. Its cul tivation is prohibited for any use save for the imperial family of China and a few of the favored high officials. Mention has been made of the word "chop" in connection with tea. and it may be Interesting to the everyday reader to know what the word actually signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va rious districts of the Chinese empire on NORTH ENTRANCE PALACE OF MINES AND METALLURGY, WORLD'S FAIR. large areas of ground which are often mistaken for single plantations. This is hardly ever the case, as the large tracts are very often owned by hun dreds of different men, whose individ ual plots of ground bearing the tea plants are carefully mapped out, so that each individual owner may culti vate and pick his own crop of tea. Each owner likewise markets his own tea and puts his own special mark, or "chop," on the packages. Hence the term "chop" signifies an individual growth or picking of tea by one owner. Iu an area of tea land of, say, a thou sands acres, all apparently under one ownership, there may be sqme forty, fifty or more owuers of the plantation and consequently a like number of "chops" of tea. It must not be Imagined that all these different owuers of the tea get the same price for their commodity—far from it, as each of these Individual tea growers has his own secrets for im proving the quality and flavor of tea. Take, for instance, the Ainoy and Fu chau districts, whence most of the tea for the United States comes. The own ers of "chops" of tea varying from 10 to 200 chests of 50 pounds each bring samples of their goods to the various foreign merchants for sale. These lat ter turn the Chinese tea growers over to the good offices of the foreign or American professional tea taster, who passes on the goods as to price. The tea taster has the samples infused, not boiled, in his presence and passes upon the quality, flavor, twang and manner of curing, fixing a price accordingly, from which there is never any varia tion aud which the tea grower must ac capt or go elsewhere to gjspose of 142 wares, in a single tract or tea land Uke the ono cited above the price ha» I tanged from 14 cents, the lowest, to J cents, the h'lgbest. per pound ■ among slrty-one different ten produ- • ear*. A matter of great moment that also figures in the price of tea is that very often tea from the same dis trict will have the various "chops" blended together in order to produce special flavors. WAQE EARNERS AT THE FAIR Prominent Men Planning to Help Workers See the Qreat Exposition. Wage earners of America are to see the World's Fair by tens of thousands nnder the auspices of the National Civ ic Federation. A new bureau of the Federation has just been established at St. Louis upon the World's Fair grounds. Back of the movement are Grover Cleveland, David R. Francis Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius N. Bliss and others. Plans are making to have a vast number of the wage earners of the United States see the World's Fair, the most glorious spectacle of the age and the most Influential factor in the education of the American citizen. The bureau is in charge of Miss Ger trude Beeks, secretary of the Federa tion's welfare department, of which Mr. 11. 11. Vreeland, head of the street railway system of New York city, is chairman. The bureau headquarters Is in the east end of the Palace of Trans portation, on the ground floor. The Ex position management is in hearty ac cord with this movement on the part of the Federation to induce the large manufacturers and other employers of labor to provide ways and means for the wage earners of America to visit the Exposition. President Francis is displaying personal interest in the un dertaking by affording the Federation every facility for the consummation of its efforts, and in this connection he has directed Theodore Hardee, assist ant to the secretary, to co-operate with Miss Beeks and Ralph M. Easley, chairman of the Federation's executive touncil, in every possible way. The Exposition management has also equipped this bureau with clerical as sistance and a full supply of World's Fair literature. The bureau will be used as headquarters for all wage earn ers coming to the Exposition under its auspices. The aim of the Federation is to make it feasible for the largest pos sible proportion of wage earners to vis it St. Louis and see the World's Fair. It will see that they are met at the de pot by responsible persons and con ducted to suitable lodgings, where they will be treated fairly. There will also be furnished, free of charge, appropriate itineraries indicat ing the points of interest to be seen within a limit of one week, which is about the average time each party will spend here. It will also indicate the objects of special interest to various craftsmen In their particular lines, so that they may devote as much time as possible to the objects of peculiar Interest to them. These and many oth er efforts will be made to help all wage earners to enjoy the benefits of this great Exposition comfortably and at an expense within their means. CONCERTS BY MASSED BANDS Prizes Aggregating $30,000 to Be Dis tributed at the World's Fair. Never were musical events In Ameri ca planned upon such an elaborate scale as those of the World's Fair.

The list of composers includes Wngner, Gou nod, Offenbach, Verdi, Salnt-Saens, P'- zet, Strauss and Leoncavallo. Old Lawi of Scotland. On the statute book of Scotland is still au act passed in 1825 ordering that "na man play futeball," because it in "esteemed to be unprofitable sport for the common gude of the realrne and defense thereof." There is also a statute against alien immigration, pass ed In 1426, and authorizing "all his majesty's subjects" to "take, appre hend, Imprison und execute to death the said Eglptiaus (gypsies), either men or women." Probably It Woolil. In a Sunday school the class was under a question on the sacraments. The sacrament of matrimony was tak en up, and a seven-year-old startled her teacher when replying to a ques tion as to the necessity for this sacra ment by answering: "No. Matrimony Is not necessary to salvation, but should a favorable opportunity afford it would be sinful to neglect it." Unfair. **l s'pose It's nil right," said Mr. New rich. "But it doesn't seem fair." "What doesn't seem fair?" "For Matilda to scold because I want to eat dinner hi my shirt sleeves. I don't make auy fuss about her party dresses, an' they haven't any sleeves at oil." Forstreneaa. Little five-year-old Edith was taken to a dentist, who removed an aching tooth. That evening at prayers her mother was surprised to hear her say, "Forgive us our debts ael we forgive our dentists." \ Cynical. "Why," said the sweet girl, "do they say that love Is of the heart?" "To show," said the old bachelor— "to chow that the brains have nothing to do with It." Every one has to clap his hands in applause when he doesn't mean it, but It Is a pleasing sort of hypocrisy.— l Atchison Globe. LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. Clerk's Notice in Bankruptcy.
