Thursday, Dr. Willson and Miss Keeler removed Mrs. Lancaster to the Williamsport Hospital, where she died seven minutes after being admitted. While at this place Mrs. Lancaster refused to give her name except to her attendants, who would reveal nothing as to who she might be.

Reader.-yofthe 1 tern let's go over together the prosperous and bad times commenc ing with the year 1880 when Harrison was elected. I'nder this administration the country was prosperous. Next came Cleveland, with a Kepublican Congress, and as the laws of the Harrison ailminice tralion could not be changed, the country was still prosperous. Next came llarri son again with promises of a McKinley bill. This promise, with others, was ful filled and during this administration the country was more prosperous man ever before. Next came Cleveland again with a promise of a Wilson bill. This prom ise was carried out and who does not re member with what dire results? Soup houses were established in every city ol prominence, placed, that the poor should not starve. You remember it so well that it isn't worth while to speak of it. Next came McKinley with promises of a Ming ley bill, with prophesies from the Demo crats that times would keep growing worse until we hail 10 to 1. Out of nine pledges in the platform of IS9G seven have been fully redeemed. What was the result ? The country has been more prosperous even than during Harrison's last admin istration. During this eighteen years where has the policy ol the Republican party resulted in other than benefit to the people ? Is it policy for us to make a change from good times to an experiment, boast ed of by the |«rty who has utterly failed in the past ? w. M. C.
