Jupiter riuvius got in a little late with liis
sprinkling can, but liis record for July will make
up all the deficiency of the previous months this

Among other it-forms which Secretary Moody
has introduced in the Navy Department is an or

government expenses. Hereafter, employees of
that department must supply their own papers

Following the footsteps of Morgan and other
American capitalists, the Colorado potato beetle
has invaded England, and the board of agricul
ture has honored it with a leaflet in colors, which
is Iieing sent to funnel s throughout Great Brit

taken over Jroin the states in vessels.
An etlort is being made at lied ford to enforce
an act for the protection offish by preventing a
wealthy manufacturer from mailing a branch of
the Juniata river a sewer for the poisonous re
fuse of his works. It is time that the rights of
the people living along such streams should be
considered by those charged with theenforccinent
of the law. It is said that tons of fish are being
ground to atoms iu the turbine wheels of a York
Haven paper mill. There oiiht. to be some way
of stopping that sort of thing.
Kx-( iovenior ratlison is receiving very little
encouragement from the old soldiers in this fall's

the young soldiers who participated in the late
Spanish wars, have not forgotten his treatment

His veto of the soldiers' burial act in 1885, which
became a law, notwithstanding liis objections, is
etill fresh in the minds of every patriotic voter.
That law lor which every member who voted
for its passage, is justly proud, has been a boon
to the family of every poor soldier now bleeping
under the sod, and every day iu the year some
dependent family is reapiug the benefit oi this
humane legislation, which the then Chief Ex
ecutive of the State strove to defeat.
Spare the rod and spoil the child is one of those
old-timers which has no terrors for the Shamokiu
school directors. They have just adopted a rule
abolishing the rod. Those if us who were wont
to have a daily administration of hickory in the
good old day before corjiore.il punishment became
alxsolete have no fault to find with the Shamokiu
directors, but there is such a thing as being too
gentle with the youth. Many a good man attri
butes his virtues to the fact that he received
plenty of tho gad during the haleyou period of
youth. Aside from its usefulness as a corrective
the rod is beneficial in loosening the hide and
some boys are hide-bouud when they are most
mischievous.

The so-called uuion party had another meeting
at Harrisburg last week and formed a new or
ganization oil another basis. The ticket named
before is to be withdrawn and a convention held
to nominate a new ticket, lhe object of the
Union party is to unite the labor organizations
into a political body and lift into power some

This is the old and oft, repeated cry to reform
polities of designing demagogues, which never
accomplished anything and never will amount to
anything. Parties come and parties g , and
those formed ou the basis of political wrecks are
very short-lived at best.

Some Interesting Facts in the Life
of the Judge.
13 A VERY MODEST GENTLEMAN
He I a Grand Army Man and a Sur
vivor of Gettysburg His Famous
Defense of Pennsylvania and Penn
cylvanians That Awoke Criticism.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Philadelphia, July 13. The candi
dacy of Judge Samuel W. I'ennypaek
cr for governor Is bringing to the sur
face) a vast number of clever, Inter
esting and characteristic stories of
his life Men who have known him for
years never funded that there was
bound up in his personality so much,
that, In any other man with less mod
esty, would have kept his name con
tinually before tho publie.
Judge I'ennypaila-r is not only a
learned and upright judge, but he Is
an antiquarian, a member of a num
ber of learned societies, the author of
a number of legal works, a historian
of the Pennsylvania Hermans, 'a mem
ber of the Ciiand Army of the Republic
and a member of at least half a dozen
of the great patriotic and hereditary
foiloties fif the United States. Above
all, he is a companionable, modest
man, who has never presumed upon
his distinction in public or in private
life. A capital nud characteristic
story of his good nature was published
some time ago, as follows:
Judge I'eiinypacker's summer home
Is out in Montgomery county, onthe
banks of the Pcrkiomen. It was owned
by his ancestors and was once the
headquarters of General Washington,
Tho region around the I'erkiomen Is
very popular with fashionable Phila
delphia summer boarders. On tils way
to and from his farm these summer
days no one would suspect that the un
obtrusive gentleman, deeply engaged
la the perusal ot a bonk or magazine
In the eir seat was the distinguished
Judge pennyp acker, of Philadelphia.
Going out homo the other night, seat
ed directly behind Judge iVnnypaekor,
was a fashionably dress.-1 woman from
tho city, who carried a small hand
satchel, an I hail beside her in tho peat
a very larire dress Milt case.
As the traiu approached Colli-;
vllle, the vi. man began to cot rradv
to leave tie- car. As the train slow
up she reached over the back of the
yeat. tapped Judge Pennypacker light
ly on the shoubb-r, and said:
"I wish you would carry ray dress
suit case out for me, please."
The judge, who was busy reading a
magazine, looked up, and thinking
some mistake had been made, re
sumed his book. The woman persist
ed, and again tapping him on the
rhouldcr, said sharply, with something
tike command In her tone:
"I wish you would carry this dress
suit case for mo to the platform."
Laying down his book, the Judgo
arose, seized the grip, caroled It out,
sat It down on the platform and was
about to reenter tho car, when tho
woman ofTered him a piece of silver
for his trouble. The judge raised his
hat and laughingly said:
"No, I thank you; It was not a
trouble, but a pleasure."
As the train pulled away and the
woman was told who her distinguished
burden bearer was she became so
flustered that she walked all the way
to the hotel instead of going In the bus.
Judge- Pennypacker's full name Is
Simuel Whltaker Pennypacker. On
bir fri'Vr's iMdc he Is a descendant of
I . ':!('. !i-;rieberker, who was sur--eui-
lor tr-f i'enns. and who came to
tins '--i;i 'i y ih"' latter part of tho
rei :.. oy.th renturv. On the same
;,' !-e ; dose. -tided from Samuel
Rlchrrclson. cn early settler In Phila
delphia, a provincial counsellor, a
member of the assembly, and a Judgo
of the court of common pleas, quarter
sessions of the peace and orphans'
court, his commission for tho latter
odlce dating from December 11, 1CS8.
By the marriage of Samuel Richard
son's eon, Joseph, to Elizabeth, daugh
ter of John Hevan, who came to this
country in H',83 with a party of Cymric
Quakers and settled In Merion, the line
is preserved intact. The Pennypack-
ers and their kin on collateral lines
have been residents of Eastern Penn
sylvania for over 200 years.
Samuel Whltaker Pennypacker was
born in Phoenlxville. Pa., April 9,
1843. He is a son of Dr. Isaac Ander
son Fennypaeker, who was graduated
In medicine from the University of
Pennsylvania in 1S3.", and was profes
sor of the theory nnd practice of medi
cine in the Philadelphia Medical Col
lege from 1S.-.4 until his death is Feb
ruary, ISM'.
Judge Pennypacker received his
early education in Saunders Institute
In West Philadelphia, a famous old in
stitution in Its day, and at the Grove
mont Seminary at ProenlxTille, Pa.
He began the study of lav Ik th of
fice of Hon. Peter McCall, ml ftlUdel-
phia, who was his office preceptor; al
though at tho same time, la 1S64, he
entered the law school of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, from which he
was graduated in July, 18R0, with the
degree of bachelor of laws.
It was the year before he entered the
university that there occurred one of
the thrilling episodes in his history.
In IS'!."! Lee's army was sweeping up
from Virginia and Maryland to over
whelm Pennsylvania. Young Penny
packer answered the call to arms and
enlisted In the Twenty-sixth Pennsyl
vania Emergency Regime nt. His first
experience with war was when ho met
the enemy on the bloody field at Get
tysburg. Judge Pennypacker has al
ways been closely and earnestly Iden
tified with the Grand Army of the Re
public, and In was elected com
mander of Frederick Taylor Post, No.
19. of Philadelphia.
His position as a member of the bar
was recognized even at that early age
and in lSi;9, when only 23 years of age
he was elected president of the Law
Academy of Philadelphia.
In the ensuing twenty years. Judge
Pennypacker as a member of the
Philadelphia bar, advanced steadily in
his profession, gradually fitting himself
by experience and contact with tho
world for the high place that was wait
ing for him. He was admitted to the
bar of tho Supreme Court of the United
Statrs in 1887. and during the same
year received from Franklin and Mar
shall College the honorary degree of
Doctor of lAvra.
In 1887 Judge James T. Mitchell, of
the Court of Common Fleas of Phila
delphia county, was elected to the su
preme court of Pennsylvania. The fill
ing of this Important place fell to the
lot of Governor Beaver, who had beea
greatly Impressed by the eloquence and
legal acumen of Lawyer S. W. Penny
packer, who had appeared before him
to plead the merits of a certain meas
ure that had Just passed the legisla
ture. He was accordingly appointed
judge In place of Justice Mitchell.
He was elected In 1889 to the same
position for a term of ten years, and
I succeeded Judge John I. Clark Hare,
who had resigned as president judge.
When the campaign of 1899 opened the
merits, fairness and ability of Judge
Pennypacker were so generally recog
nized by both political parties that In
August of that year he received the
unanimous nomination of Democrats
and Republicans and was re-elected In
November for another term of ten
years. At present he is president Judge
of the Court of Common Pleas Number
Among Judge Tennypacker's many
Important decisions, affirmed by the
supreme court of the United States, are
the cases of Mullen vs. Doylo In re
Melon street, a case of great Import
ance, which before being finally de
cided had been heard by seventeen
Judges. Another was the Arch Street
Museum case, the Carter will case, the
Irwin will case, Darr vs. the city, in
vohing the right of tho city to borrow
$11,000,000, and Commonwealth vs.
Davis, the defendant In which was the
first person convicted of murder In the
first degree in the City Hall, Philadel
phia. In 1SS6 upon the death of Hon. John
Welsh, former minister to England,
Judge Pennypacker was elected h trus
tee of the University of Pennsylvania
and since then has been one of Its
most enthusiastic friends. In the course
of his historical researches Judge
Pennypacker became possessed of facts
which he embodied in a learned and
convincing brief, whlcn was accepted
by the trustees, showing that me
university's origin should date from
1740 Instead of from 1749.
Reference has already been made to
the societies, learned and otherwise, of
which Judge Pennypacker Is a member
Among the more prominent ones are
the American Philosophical Society, tc
w hich be was elected May 21, 1S8G; the
Historical Society of Pennsylvania,
which with the Pennsylvania German
Society he has presided over as active
president. He is a member of all the
leading patriotic societies, a founder ot
the Pennsylvania Society of the Revo
lution, of the Netherlands Society of
Pennsylvania, and of the Colonial So
ciety of Pennsylvania.
As an author of standard legal works
Judge Pennypacker Is widely known.
He has published Jointly with E. G.
Piatt, Esq., and S. S. Holllngsworth,
Esq., a digest of English Common Law
Reports that was begun by Judge
Sharswood; a volume of Pennsylvania
Colonial cases, four volumes of Su
preme Court Records, known as Penny
packer's Reports, and has aided In the
preparation of forty-four volumes ot
the Weekly Notes of Cases, having
charge of the cases from the Courts of
Common Pleas Nob. 2 and 3, Phlla
delphta.
. As a historian Judge Pennypacker
has shown with equal brilliancy. He
Is a clear, concise and entertaining
writer. Many of his monographs and
historical papers and addresses have
been translated abroad into German
and Dutch. His most imposing work,
possibly, U one recently leaned and en
titled the "Settlement of Cerman
tewn." Judge Pennypacker spent years
in gathering material for this work.
He went personally over tho ground
with the result that it has found high
favor for its comprehensive, thorough
and accurate statements and descrip
tion. Prince Bismark personally (hank
ed Judge Pennypacker for his address
In the Academy of Music, Philadelphia,
in 1SS3 on the Ill-Centenial celebration
of the beginning of German emigration
to America.
Judge Pennypacker married on Oc
tober 20, 1870, Virginia Earl, daughter
of Nathan D. Rroomall. Ills city resi
dence Is on North Sixteenth street,
Philadelphia, and his summer residence
at Schwenksville, Montgomery county,
Pa.
A great deal has been said and writ
ten by the opponents of Judge Penny-
packer about his so-called "Eulogy of
Quay," and attempts have been made
to belittle his candidacy on this ground
The fact is that the paper referred to
was one of the ablest, most eloquent,
and most convincing arguments lor the
dignity and supremacy of Pennsylva
nia In the galaxy or states that was
ever written. 1 he title or the paper
was "Pennsylvania and Massachu
setts," and Its object was to demon
strate the supremacy of Pennsylvania,
and the fact that in every great his
torical crisis Pennsylvania had taken
the lead over many of her sister
states, and particularly Massachusetts.
RIO GRANDE TRAIN ROBBED
Masked Men Get Contents of Safe and
, Valuables of Passengers.
Sallda, Colo., July 15. A report was
received here shortly before noon yes
terday to the effect that the Denver
and Rio Grande Narrow Gauge passen
ger train which left here early Sundry
night was held up and robbed yester
day by four men near Sargents, west
of Marshall Pass. The engineer was
compelled at tho point of a revolver
to stop the train by masked men, who
had climbed over the tender. One of
the robbers addressed remarks to En
gineer Ruland, who did not understand
what was said, and before Ruland could
ask him to repeat hhi remarks the rob
ber struck him a blow with a Winches
ter rifle, breaking the stock of the
gun. His head is badly swollen. No
passengers or trainmen were hurt.
Two safes In the express car were
blown open, but It Is asserted by offi
cers of the Rio Grando Express Com
pany that the robbers failed to secure
any plunder from tho safes. The pas
sengers were compelled to alight from
the cars and line up alongside the
tracks In the canyon, and they were
relieved of all their money and val
uables. Many of the passengers threw
away their money, watches and jewelry
among the rocks before the robbers
searched them. There were many tour
ists among the passengers, and while
It is not known how much the robbers
secured, It Is presumed that the losses
were heavy. .
The bandits mounted horses and dis
appeared in the ravines that lead Into
Marshall Pass. The sheriff at Salina
end sheriffs of adjoining counties and
n dozen posses are in pursuit.
NEW CHINESE MINISTER

ceed Wu Ting Fang.
Pekin, July 14 Sir Lian Chen Tung,
secretary of the Chinese embassy to
the coronation of King Edward, was
yesterday appointed Chinese minister
to the United States.
New ministers to Russia, France and
Italy have also been nominated. The
selections for these post3 shows that
the dowager empress continues to re
gard the diplomatic service as unim
portant. All of them, except Lien
Chen Tung, are unknown to tho for
eign community.
Wu Not Surprised.
Washington. July 14. Mr. Wu, the
Chinese minister at Washington, was
not surprised to hear of the appoint
ment of a successor to himself, as he
had been expecting an announcement
of this character for some time. He
had received notice that his services
would be required In another capacity,
and for this reason has been prepared
to hear of the naming of his successor
at any time.
The retiring minister, Mr. Wu, has i
been at this capital since April, 1897.
His relations with the administrations
of Presidents McKlnley and Roosevelt
have been of a most cordial character.
The ordinary term of ministers In the
Chinese diplomatic service Is usually
three years, and they are not reappointed.

GOVERNOR STONE IN CAMP
He Inspected Pennsylvania National
Guard On Battlefield of Gettysburg.
Gettysburg, Pa., July 15 The ieature
of the camp of the Pennsylvania Na
tional Guard on the battlefield yester
day was the arrival of Governor Stone,
who will remain here for the rest of
the week. The weather was very
warm, but the soldiers stood It well.
The governor was met nt tho railroad
station In town by Adjutant General
Stewart and Lieutenant Colonel Elliott,
assistant adujtant general of the divi
sion. Accompanying the governor
were his secretary, Mrs. Stone, Miss
.lean Stone, Miss Watson, of Williams
port, and Mrs. K. C. Gerwlg.
Some Idea of the size of the camp
may be gained by the fact that it took
tho party two hours to ride through
the camps of the Kirst and Second
Brigades. The commander-in-chief in
spected the Third Brigade during the
afternoon. The troops were at quarters
and the party was cheered by the sol
diers as it rode through the grounds.
The governor was greatly pleased with
the appearance of the men and the
ramp.
"Governor's Day" will probably be
Friday. Secretary of War Root and
Adjutant General Corbln are expected
to visit the camp on frrlday. The sec
retary will be tendered a review.
