Hits the Nail on the Head.
The Philadelphia Press "hits tlie nail on the
head" when it says: "If the Republican news
papers in the 17th Congressional District re
present the popular sentiment the renomination
of Congressman Mahon is certain. There is
little or no advocacy of any other candidate, and
the only name po far presented in opposition is
ex-Senator Hummel, of Snyder County.
Andrews a Candidate.
It comes from Eiie that the announcement of
tlie candidacy of Wesley It. Andrews' for the Re
publican nomination for Governor will be made this
week. Mr. Andrews is the private secretary to
Senator 15oise Penrose and is one of the score
tanes of the Republican State Committee. He
ia a Journalist by profession, long identified
with Stale politics, and a man of rare literary
attainment, and has an influental following.
SENATOR F0CHT EOR GOVERNOR.
From the Philadelphia Item, March 81.
Tlie early bird catches the worm principle
npieals to State Senator Ken Focht, of Union
county. He has, in a sort of a hand-bill, made
the announcement that he is in the field for the
Republican nomination for Governor, which wil
be ripe in 1000. Senator Focht is a newspaper
man, the proprietor of the News, a Republican
organ of Union county. He has sat in the Lower
House of the Legislature three terms, was nom
inated for a fourth but went down in the Quay
Senate. The country politicians who meet under
the roof of the Hotel Walton, have during the
week, been discussing the candidacy of Senator
Focht, and on all sides there has been expressed
great admiration for the nerve that has been dis
played by the young politician and statesman in
thus staking out his claim so far in advance.
Senator Focht enjoys confidential relations with
Senator Quay a& with the narrow circle of men
who shape the policy of tlie Republican State
organization. During the last session of the
Legislature it was he who was entrusted to intro
duce the Rapid Transit bill, which, at the time,
gave the people the bump, and which was as
much of a surprise in Ijegislative circles as it
was to the dwellers of Philadelphia. He also
stood fur other big legislation and is regarded an
adroit, hard knocker on the floor. As General
Elkin is populary known as the "Plough Boy
from Indiana" Senator Focht will 'possibly be
6tyled in the campaign the "Printers' Devil of
Union." At all events, Senator Focht is an
avowed and skittish candidate fot the range
nomination, and will lose no time in beginning
the work of pipe laying and wire stretching.
He is a business partner in several railroad
projects of the Scnuton millionaire Congressman
Uncle Bill Connel!, who will undoubtedly give
the lad a life and may assist in financiug the
campaign. There are no flies on Focht, and he
gets all that is coming to him. At the age of
seven tec u he was the editor and part proprietor
0f the Lewisburg News, which he still owns,
and he has been in all fort of political skirmishes
and pitched battles from a kid in the teens. In
his campaign for the Governorship iu 1906 he
will be fourty-tliree years old, so it can be seen
that he is yet a spring chicken.
once more," so that each word that Helen Keller
writes goes through her fingers at least five times
It will be 'a satisfaction to everyboby to know
that the publishers of The Journal have recog
nized in a substantial manner the extraordinary
ability and patience which Miss Keller has
shown in her work.
WOMAN'S HOSIE COMPANION.
The first authoritative article on the remark
able experiences of Mies Ellen Stone, the Ameri
can Missionnry, will be contained in the May
number of the woman's home oompxiox, with
heretofore unpublished pictures. The author
is the Rev. J). James L. Barton, corresponding
secretary of tlie American Board of Foreign
Mission, which organization took foremost part
in securing her release from the Bulgarian bri
gands.' He tills in a graphic aud thrilling man
ner of the events which led up to Miss Stone's
captivity, the awful fate which threatened her,
how the rirnsom for her release was raised, as
well as ti c. statement of the cuiious part the
aflair played in the diplomatic history of the
world. It is an article of more than ordinary
interest.
LITERARY NOTES.
THE LADIES HOME JOURNAL.
Not one person in ten thousand of those who
will read Helen Keller's own story of her life, when
it liegins in an early issue of The Ladies' Home
journal, will have the least conception of the
amout of hard work required to write the story.
First of all Miss Keller puts down her idea3 "in
Braille," as the blind express it; that is to say,
iu the system of "points,' raised ou paper by
means of a stylus and slate devised to aid the
blind; these "points" being, read afterward by
passing the sensitive figures over them. When
all of the Braille work has been completed Miss
Keller goes to her typewriter and uses these
notes as a guide to the rewriting of the story.
As soon as a page of matter is typewritten it
is, so to speak, lost to Miss Keller, who has to
depend upon her faithful teacher, Miss Sullivan,
to repeat it to her by spelling out each sentence
by meaus of the hands. It is a ted ions task, es
pecially as some of the pages have to be read a
gain and again, with changes here and there, be
fore Miss Keller is satisfied. Then, when the
proofs are sent to her, all this slow process of
spelling word after word has to be gone through
KEVIEW OF REVIEWS.
The April Review of Reviews contains an in
teresting description, from the pen of Dr. Robert
L.Dickinsou, of the new Lying-In Hospital re
cently completed in New York at a cost of
$1,350,000. This magnificent structure, the
gift of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan to the society of
the Liying-lii Pospital of New York City, is
built with such a lavish use of the most modern
scientific devices that it may well form the model
for future American establishments of the kind.

NATIONAL.
Henry D. Muir, the new Chicoga poet, did
good work there for ten years and nobody in
Chicago knew or cared anything about his verses,
The March "National" gave two pages to his
newest book, ami lo! the Chicago papers sent
their reporter-1 to interview him, strangers wiote
for copies of his poems, and curiosity seeker
have invaded his retreat at Gross point, Illinois,
in such numbers that he finds his new celebrity
almost as trying as his prior failure to win the
applause that every poet craves. Nothing like
puuncuy. ,
mcclure's.
Now that MuChire.' Philips & Co. have ac
quired the rights of "A Gentleman from Ind-
iana," they arc the publishers ot all Booth
Tarkingtou's works. "Monsieur Beaucaire,"
which is following predecessor closely in sale",
having now reached the 75,000 mark, was a
McClure-Philips book from the start. The
same firm will publish his new novel, which is
soon tocommuue serially in McClure's Magazine.
This last is a story of Iudiana life at the time
of the Mexican War.
