The Hitchcock bill regarding pri
inary elections designates the second
Tuesday of January for holding pri
maries to nominate men for the local
offices, and the second Tneeday of June
for nominations for county and state
offices. The primaries for both parties
are to be held at the same time and
place by tho general election officers,
from 7a. m. to 7p. m.; the ballots are
to be furnished by the County Com
missioners; the Sheriff is to give public
notice, etc., etc. —just as for a general
election, and with severe penalties for
briber}-, or the use of money to influence
voteTs. „ .
The preyailing sentiment at Harns
bnrg is said to favor one of these bills
' - the Cooper or Hitchcock-and one cf
them may become the law within the
next few weeks. If this takes place
the date for our next county primary
may be changed and if the Hitchcock
bill becomes the law the date fixed for
the primary will be changed by the law
and that fixed for the State convention
—Jnne #th-will have to be changed to
a later date, to allow the election of
delegates, June 12th. _
While the bills are pending in the
Legislature everything political may be
said to be "in the air."
, There is a growing sentiment in this
country against the use of money for
obtaining nominations, and as either ef
these bills,' enacted into law, will at
least partially correct the abuse it is
more than probable that one of them
will become the law for primary elec
, tions.
The Senate of Ohio passed a 2 cent
railroad passenger rate bill by a unani
mous vote, last week. Railroad legis
lation—rate, rebate and government
ownership-will probably become a
fad now.
Gen. Groevener is in danger in his
Congressional district, as there is dis
position to set him aside for another
man. He is now in the seventy-third
of his age, has spent the last twenty
years of his life in the House, and is
perhaps the most picturesque as well as
one of its most useful members. He is
one of the two Republican members of
the Committee on Rules, who, to
gether witb the Speaker, govern the
. House as a schoolmaster would his
pupils. He is fluent and witty in
debate, and is a veritable cyclopedia of
knowledge. He is an ornament to the
House and a credit to his State. The
The people of his district ought to be
proud of him, and they would certainly
lower their standing in the eyes of the
country as an intelligent an appreciative
people if they were to cast him adrift
in the midst oi his usefulness after hav
ing seryed them and the country with
so much distinction for twenty years.
Speaker Cannon is particularly con
cerned about the talk of defeating
k General Groevenor for renomination,
H and caused a petition to be circulat
■ ed among the Republican members of
the house appealing to General Gros
jW venor'i constituents to stand by hiui
r am l B ee that he goea back to the
sixtieth Congress.—Ex.
IIARKISBURC NOTES..

Republicans. The question as to whom
he favored for the next governor was
put to 158 of them with this result;
John Stewart, of Franklin, 9*; John
„ Weaver, of Philadelphia, 24; John P.
Elkin, of Indiana, 18; Louis A. Watres,
of Lackawanna, 9; Philander C. Knox,
of Allegheny, 4; scattering, 10.

the House, Tuesday.

lection of fees, commissions, etc., by the
officers and employes of the department
aince May 21, 1891, and the final dis
position of the same. The committee to
be appointed is also to investigate as to
how the salaries of the several officers
and employes of the department are at

THE editor of a respectable N. Y.
weekly was acquitted, last week, of a
charge of libel preferred by a local
judge, fcr asserting that he was one oi
the editors of another weekly- an al
leged society journal given to scandal
and blackmailing. The editor proved
the truth of his charge and gave good
reasons for publishing it. The "list of
jmmunes" that was developed in Court
-men who had paid the scandal sheet
thousands of dollars for not writing
them up, was an astonisher. On Satur
day last a criminal charge was made
against one of the editors of the scandal
sheet, and he was held for Court.

D. G. KENNEDY, Sr
(From the Weekly World of Lawrence,
Kansas.)
One by one we are called upon to
hslt in our daily routine of duties and
business cares and follow the pioneer to
his last resting place.
D. G. Kennedy, Sr., was born in
Butler county, Pa.. May 4, 1821 and
died at Vinland, Kan., January 18,
190 G. When 20 years of age he began
a career as a school teacher, continuing
thi3 profession for seven years At the
ittfo of 97 be iron jnnrricd to Elisabeth
Rosebaugh. who is left with her six
children 5 sons and a daughter. In
1848 he accepted a position as book
keeper in the firm of Chess Bros., tack
factory of Pittsburg, Pa , where he re
mained for ten years. In 1861 he came
west with his family and settled near
Black Jack, Kan., famous in history as
John Brown's first battlefield. Here he
lived until 1892, when he parted with
the old homestead and moved to Vin
land, where his youngest son, D. G
Kenne4y. Jr., is engaged in the mercan
tile business.
When the war broke out he enlisted
and although he was never called out of
the state, he remained on constant
service as a home guard during the
memorable troubles of early Kansas
Mr. Kennedy was peculiarly staunch in
his party beliefs and even in his de
clining years his loyalty to and en
thusiasm for the Republican party was
constant. He knew the biographies of
Grant, Sherman, Lincoln ana many
others almost by heart. He loved his
books and spent the last years of his
life surrounded by them. ISe lived to
see both grand and great grandchildren
and their presence and prattle was his
greatest joy. On Saturday, January
13. "Uncle David" made a business trip
to Baldwin, and although 85 years of
age, was able to go unattended and see
to bis business.
Monday afternoon he was taken ill
with pneumonia and in spite of the best
medical attention the disease ciaimed
him as its victim, He died on Thurs
day at 7 o'clock a. m.
The funeral services were conducted
by Dr. Gragg, pastor of the Vinland
Presbyterian church, of which church
Mr. Kennedy had been a constant and
active member for six-five years.

sides his wife and six children, two
sisters and two brothers survive him

TAMMANY SCCi£YV
Tkt Oriffla of the OrgaaiMtioa in
Ike Tin..- of Je«ler»on.
Tammany was the heir of the spirit
of the Sons of Liberty of the Revolu
tionary war. It was kin In some of its
purposes at least to ihose who were
then beginning the revolution in
France. It was enthusiastic in Its sup
port and approval of that revolution.
Indeed a misty legend has been handed
down from generation to generation in
the hall that the suggestion came from
Jefferson himself, who, called from
France to Washington's cabinet, was
pained to see that aristocracy, English
in its impulse and fostered l>y the So
ciety of the Cincinnati, was rooting it
self so early in our national life. To
crush that impulse, at least to fetter it,
Jefferson gave the hint, and Tammany,
with its tomahawk, stood facing the
Cincinnati and its sword.
William Mooney, an upholsterer, but,
like many of the mechanics of that day,
keenly interested In politics, suggested
that there l>e brought together in au as
sociation those who dreaded the aris
tocracy and who suspected that the
purpose of Hamilton was to force the
government into something like a lim
ited monarchy. Mooney found a good
many mechanics and merchants who
thought as he did, and so a common
puri>ose, the grouping impulse rather
than any cunning planning of one man
for personal advancement, brought
some of the ablest political and per
sonal foes of Hamilton and Jay togeth
er, and with some mystery of oaths
and ritual, the pipe of peace, the feath
ered headdress, even the painted face
and leathern costume, with wampum
for its ornament, these men were
bound in one association as the Tam
many society, or Columbian order.
BURIED LIVING PERSONS.
Horrible Cuntom of Jnpftueno Prior
1o Year <U<i A. D.
Prior to the year G4<! A. I>. the Japa
ue.se had one of the most horrible
burial customs that can be imagined—
that of burying all tlie immediate
friends aud retainers of a prince or
other person of note in a standing po
sition around tlie potentate's grave and
leaving tliem iu the earth up to their
necks to perish of thirst and hunger.
Tlie custom caiiuot be sakl to lmve
been general as late as the (late given,
for the Japanese records prove that in
the time of the Emperor Suhiin (97-30
B. (J.) the burial rites of royal person
ages were so modified as to partially
abolish former cruelties. Speaking of
a young brother of Suiniu, who died
and had his retinue burled standing
around his grave, the old record
says: "For many days they died not,
but wept and cried aloud. At last they
died. Dogs and crows assembled and
ate off their heads. The emperor's
compassion wjis lu-oused, and he de
sired to change the manner of burial.
When the empress died, soon after, the
mikado inquired of his officers if some
thing in the way of a change could not
be suggested, and one proposed to
make clay figures of men and bury
them as substitutes."
That this did not entirely do away
with the former custom is proved by
an edict issued in the year t»4C A. D.,
the date given tirst above, which forbid
the burial of living persons and pro
vided a penalty for further adherence
to the awful rite.—St. Louis Republic.
\ SATISFYING STORY.
It Worked Both Way* In Behalf of
the Conp-eMinin.
Some years ago there came to Wash
ington a representative in congress
from lowa who was an ardent cham
pion of the cause of prohibition.
One day a friend from home dropped
in to see the congressman. During the
course of his stay he had occasion to
»w« his pix>k«»tk»iifc, which the repre
sentative much admired. This knife
had in it u hook, "designed," so the
friend said, "to remove stones that
Oil I glit become fastened in a horse's
hoof on a rocky road." Finally, seeing
the intense Hdniiration of the congress
man for the knife, the friend gave it to
him. When the statesman had reached
home and had shown the gift to his
wife she laughed.
"John," said she, "any man who has
served three terms in the state senate,
been lieutenant governor and had two
terms in congress must be a pretty
good man if he doesn't know a cham
pagne opener from a hoof cleaner."
Somehow the story got out and was
copied by nearly every newspaper in
lowa. One day the congressman met
the newspaper man whom he under
stood to be the author of the first squib
in the matter.
"You did me a great service," smil
ingly said the representative to the
correspondent. "All the prohibitionists
are taking my wife's view of my ig
norance, and all the 'antis' are insist
ing that I'm a devil of a good fellow
for imposing so successfully on my
wife. It works in my behalf which
ever way you take It." Saturday
Evening Post.
• A DYED BEARD.
It Probably Changed the Illatory of
the Whole Ilnmnn Riiri.
The most striking case in history of
the importance of trifles is furnished
by the story of Musa, the leader of the
Moslem host which won from Christen
dom in three and a half years domin
ions which It took the soldiers of the
cross twenty generations to win back.
He had a red beard. This was a trifle.
Musa, though a very great general,
was a very vain man, and he dyed his
beard black. This was another trifle.
One of his captains chaffed him on the
subject, and Musa forthwith had him
stripped and scourged. For this, nt
the very height of his conquering ca
reer, Musa was recalled by the caliph
and disgraced. This made it Impos
sible for him to command the Moslem
army at the battle of Tours, on the is
sue of which, as all historians agree,
the destinies of Europe and perhaps of
the whole human race depended.
It Is almost certain that if the genius
of Musa had replaced the incompetence
of the half dozen tribal leaders whose
dissensions made victory impossible
the forces of Islam would have joined
hands from the west to the east and
Inclosed Europe In their grasp.—Lon
don Standard. .
The Firtft Kiiittinir Machine.
Historic mention of hand knitting is
tirst found In the books of the time of
Queen Elizabeth, though it is known
that it was one of the arts of the I'om
pelians. The first machine for knitting
was the invention of one William Lee,
who made application for a patent In
England in 1580. On being refused a
patent by the English authorities he
forthwith departed for France and
soon afterward set up a large factory
at ltoueu. The Leo machine, which re
maliu.l the same as It was 200 years
before, was Introduced in tho colonies
during the Revolutionary war. A
sharp Yankee improved on it and set
up tho first United States stocking
factory at Cohoes, X. Y., in 1832.
The American Chameleon.
The American chameleon, a small liz
ard (Anolis carollneusls), inhabits vari
ous parts of the southern United States.
The little animal has the remarkable
habit of quickly and completely chang
ing Its colors, varying from brown to
yellow or pale green. Its food consists
of insects. The little animal is perfect
ly harmless to higher forms of life, i 3
often kept as a pet and has been worn
attached to a chain as an ornament.
The toes are provided with adhesive
pads, which enable the lizard to run
upon smooth vertical surfaces. St.

To the sight of the world Franklin
comff as the agont of certain revolted
colonies of England to seek material
aid to sustain the hard pushed rebel
lion, but to the enlightened eye of his
tory he is an envoy from the new world
to the old, addressing to its half awak
ened heart and conscience the soul
stirring Invitation to be free. No fitter
choice was ever made by any nation In
any age. There was too heavy u sea
running to have any incompetence on
the quarter deck.
An Interest which we can scarcely
comprehend was taken in that day In
natural science. Franklin was by uni
versal consent the greatest natural
philosopher of his time. He was hailed
as the confidant of nature, the play
mate of lightning, a Prometheus un
punished. The brightest constructive
and critical energies of the best minds
were devoted to the solution of politi
cal problems, and here, they said, was a
man who had founded many states up
on the principles of abstract justice
and had consolidated them at last
into a superb model republic, for this
hasty generalization had seized the for
eign mind, always too apt to regard
leaders instead of masses, and it was
long before the millions of Americans
got their due abroad.
Thus it came that the great heart of
liberal France went out at once in a
quick rush of welcome to Franklin, ne
was the point that attracted the over
charged electricity of that vast and
stormy mass of active thought. He be
came the talk of the town. They made
soups about him. They published more
than engravings of him, so that his
fur cap and spectacles became as fa
miliar as the faco of the king on the
louis d'or. The pit rose when he en
tered a theater. These are not trivial
details. Those spontaneous honors paid
to au alien citizen by a people so long
the victims of degrading tutelage show
ed the progress they had made toward
liberty. In honoring htm they honored
themselves. They vaguely felt he was
fighting their battle. They read in his
serene and noble countenance the
promise of better timos. —John Hay's
•'Franklin In France" in Century.
Klngaler'i "W<itn nrd Do."
Kingsley wrote "Westward Ho" to
the booming of guns in the Crimea.
The country was ablaze with excite
ment at the news which came—the
storming of the heights of Alma and
the charge of the Light brigade. Kings
ley longed to be at the war. "This
war," he said, "would have made me
half mad if I had let it. It seemed so
dreadful to hear of those Alma heights
being taken and not be there, but God
knows best, and I suppose I am not fit
for such brave work.
"But I can fight with my pen still
(I don't mean in controversy; I am sick
of that), but in writing books which
make others fight. This one is to be
called 'Westward Ho.'"
"Westward Ho" was written in 1854,
when Kingsley was thirty-five. He
had broken down and gone to Devon
shire for his heaith. He had gazed on
the waters which witnessed "the ter
rible and glorious pageant" of "the
bright days of July, 1588, when the
Spanish armada ventured slowly past
Berry head, with Elizabeth's gallant
pack of Devon captafns following fast
in its wake, dashing into the midst of
the vast line, undismayed by size and
numbers." Then he went to Bideford,
and there produced "Westward Ho."
Files and Music.
"Piano playing will drive flies from
your apartments," declared a man who
expounds odd theories. "That sounds
like a joke, and, of course, there are
some kinds of playing that will chase
human beings from a room, but seri
ously I mean that music is objection
able to insects—in fact, all sounds an
noy them.
"Whoever saw flies in a boiler shop?
No one that I know of, because the vi
brations caused by the continuous
pounding are as deranging to the in
sects ns are the atmospheric disturb
ances resulting from electric fans. Ev
ery one should be familiar with the in
tensity of the vibrations produced by
the strings of a piano. For instance,
many persons, no doubt, have noticed
that a loose glass In a picture frame
will buzz when a certain note is struck.
Well, when the strength of the sound
wave which causes the ill fitting glass
to hum. though it may be a dozen feet
away, is multiplied a score of times in
a second, as Is the case when a spirited
piano performance Is In progress, the
effect of the vibrations on the extreme
ly sensitive insects may be Imagined.
They simply can't stand a prolonged
sound."—Philadelphia Record.
Little Thinhtb.
It is no great task to play the piano.
Still In playing some intricate passages
the hands must move far more rapidly
than the performer realizes. In Web
er's "Moto Perpetuo," for instance,
4,1541 notes are Hounded In less than
four minutes, or at the rate of twenty
each second. li\ one of Chopin's
"Studies" there is a greater demand
made, as for two and one-half iftinutes
twenty-six notes are struck each sec
ond.
In following the printed lines in a
book or paper the eye In the course of
a lifetime covers some 5,000 miles, and
the ordinary correspondent pushes u
pen over twenty to twenty-five miles
of paper In the course of threescore
and ten years.
The waiter in a restaurant covers
from eight to fifteen miles a day with
out leaving his place of service, and in
eating a full meal one's jaws exert a
force of several tons in the mastica
tion of food. A man winks 6,870 times
In a year, and the energy he wastes in
shaking fcands In that time would lift
eight tons one foot from the ground.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS,
When a man is loaded you always
know It, but it's different with a gun.
Keep telling a boy he never will
amount to anything, and he generally
won't.
A six weeks' engagement will put a
lot of conceit into a man, but six min
utes of married life are sufficient to
take It out.
It Is wonderful how many have
watches considering how few there are
in the world lo whom time really seems
to be of any value.
Perhaps a man's eyesight grows poor
er with the years as a merciful way
of preventing liini from seeing his
wrinkles and gray hairs.
We suppose a uian is called "wo
man's protector" for the reason that
he protects her from others imposing
upon her, preferring to do it all him
self.—Atchison Globe.
Prnliinß the Lazy Man.
It must be admitted that some of
the best work that has lived has been
done by Indolent men. This is espe
cially true as regards literature. The
finest description of a sunrise was
written by the poet Thomson in bed.
Coleridge was one of the most indolent
of men, yet his work Is, of its kind,
uuapproached. One of the most Im
portant Improvements In the steam en
gine was due to the indolence of James
Watt. Many other examples might 1>«
quoted; but, as a general rule, it is
fairly correct to say that work which
Is the outcome of meditation or pro-
observation Is best performed
by people whose natural iudolence
makes them careless of the strife and
bustle in which an active temperament
would tend to Itnnrerse tbrav: — I'pbt
