Philadelphia, Oct. 9. —From every county in the state come expressions of approval of the appointment of Gen. Frank Reeder as commissioner of banking by Governor Stone to succeed the late Col. Thomas J. Powers. Stal wart Republicans recognize this ap pointment as a timely recognition of a brave soldier, a staunch party man and a faithful and successful worker in the cause of Republicanism. Gen. Reeder's selection, of course, does not meet approval of th" insurgents, whom he has been fighting since they entered upon their conspiracy against the reg ular Republican organization. He is naturally a fresh target for their vituperative abuse and slanderous edi torial assaults. His record as a public epirited citizen of Pennsylvania can not be detracted from by the malicious onslaughts of the yellow journals who are but part and parcel of the insur gent political machine. Governor Stone has taken occasion to tell the public what he thinks of the subsidized .. papers that have been attac king t v. rything Republican hi this state for ;n.me years and he has shown that lie is absolutely in difi'eieut to their attacks.

M. Nichols, boldly advanced a system by which he would do away with the almshouses in Penn sylvania and substitute what he emphat ically called ' 'industrial villages, "where the poor would be made to work and thus contribute to the cost of their sup. port. The paper made a marked im pression. After the Mayor's address N. P.

Havana, Oct. 10.—Governor General Wood says that Cuba now offers great opportunities to Americans who will come here and settle. Land is cheap or can be rented on a small royalty of pro ductions. Returns would be quick. He recommends the cultivation by immi grants of tobacco and fruit and the rais ing of cattle. At the palace today representatives of every mercantile gnild in Havana joined in presenting to Governor Wood an ad dress expressing gratitude for what he has done in the way of reforming the mercantile registries. The address was accompanied with a pen mounted with diamonds and rubies. The Board of Trade and the richest commercial houses of the city were represented at the func tion. By order of the military Government, and through Senor Gener, Secretary of Justice, trial by jury was inaugurated in Cuba today and the writ of habe as corpus was established. Commissioners representing the Church and the State have been appointed to determine the property rights of the former. Banker Routs a Robber. J. R. Garrison, Cashier of the bank of Thornville, Ohio, had been robbed of health by a serious lung trouble until he tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. Then he wrote: "It is the best medicine I ever used for a severe cold or a bad case of lung trouble. I al ways keep a bottle on hand.

Bituminous Traffic Helps Railroaders. Reading, Pa., Oct. 10 —Hundreds of railroaders, who otherwise would be thrown out of work by the stoppage of anthracite shipments over the Reading Railway, are now employed in bringing through soft coal from the West. Only seventeen cars of hard coal were sent down the road to-day. The average be fore the strike was 1400 cars daily. A Fiendish Attack. An attack was lately made on C. F. Collier of Cherokee, lowa, that nearly proved'fatal. It came through his kid neys. His back got so lame he could not stoop'withont great pain, nor sit in a chair except propped by cushions.

There was a colored baptizing at Sandy Bottom, Billville. The last con vert togo under the water was an old colored woman, who all the while had been seated in a rickety buggy drawn by an ancient mule who hfld been through the civil war. She came up out of the water all right, but after proceeding a short dis tance on her way home the mule be came unmanageable and upset the bug gy In the middle of a deep creek. The old woman, with drenched gar ments, clung to a "foot log" Just ns the parson who bad recently baptized her rode up. He heard her r,wearing at tho refrac tory mule In vigorous terms; then, tak ing her In his own buggy and driving to dry land, he said: "Sister Ca'line, you hez done los' all de salvation what come ter you by de fust baptism; so you must stop right heah en be baptized over ergln." "No, sub!" was the reply. "I ain't gwlne in dat water no mo't Didn't dat ole mule baptize me de seeon' time?"— Atlanta Constitution. There's a story of a farmer and his son driving a load to market. Of the team they were driving one was a steady reliable old gray mare the other a frac tious, balky black horse. On the way the wagon was stalled and the black horse sulked and refused to pull. "What 11 we do father?" said the young er." "Well" said the father, "I guess we'll have to lay the gad on the old gray.'' That homely compliment to women: The gray mare's the better horse" suggests how often when there's an extra strain to be borne it is laid on the woman's back. How often she breaks down at last under the added weight of some "last straw.''

It Is "A man who :' wears a siiU hat, and if he has no other i j title Insists upon having 'Esq.' added to l j his name when letters are addressed to r him." i The west end Londoner of social - j pretensions accepts this definition in - | practice. Summer and winter, in rain i i or shine, he wears a high silk hat in ) the streets of London and carries it , 1 into the drawing room when he pays I an afternoon call. It is only when he - takes a train for the provinces or for » the continent that he ventures to use more comfortable headgear. lie also expects to have the distinc tion of "esquire" when a letter is ad t I dressed to him and is highly offended t if he finds on the envelope the prefix m "Mr." As a matter of fact the num ber of English gentlemen who are le , gaily entitled to the mediaeval honors II of "esquire" is insignificant. It Is a • self assumed title which signifies noth s ing that is substantial in rank or priv ilege. In common use in London "esquire" simply means that the person so ao dressed does not choose to be assocl ! ated with tradesmen and ordinary working people and that he Is a 'gen ' tleinan" who invariably wears a Bilk hat.—Youth's Companion. 1 1 r A ChtncNc Solomon. 9 | Three men appeared before a judge Jin Ilonan, China, and each laid claim -j to the same woman as his wife. Not . | one of them would retire in favor of the other two, but each Insisted that ■ justice should be done to lilm. Finally ? the judge exclaimed, "Well, if you three men cannot come to some agree ( ment nothing remains for me but to Di'der that the woman shall be killed, 1! as there is no other way In which the r j matter can be satisfactorily settled." i j lie then called for a large cup of wine, ' ntul when it was brought he poured ln t , to It some dark nowder and compelled • | the woman to drink it. Excited as she ' ! was, the woman speedily began to feel ' j the effect of the strong liquor. She | stammered when she tried to speak, ; and her flushed cheeks were an lndica ' ! tion to the observers that the poison 1 was working and that her end was ! near at hand. P i This was the climax for which the 1 Judge had waited. When he saw that t; the woman was apparently dying, be called one of the three men who claim • ! ed her as wife and bade him remove her from the courtroom. This man, " i however, showed no inclination to do so, and the judge thereupon Insisted 1 that he renounce all rights to her. This I he willingly did and so did the second { 1 man. Only one claimant was now left, and he agreed to remove the woman ! and to care for her until she died. Sat i isfied that he was her real husband, i j the judge called him and said: "You manner. Have no fear for your wife, ■ I since she is In no danger of death.
