FOR AN HONEST BALLOT.
From the Republican platform.
Unequivocally and with emphasis this
convention declares for a pure and hon
est ballot in the state of Pennsylvania,
and for the enactment of such laws or
the amendment of existing laws as will
most effectively and speedily accomplish
this most desirable purpose. The Re
publican party of Pennsylvania stands
prepared to aid any or all other parties
in remedying any defects that may exist
in the present system of popular suffrage
or to advance any new plan that will
vouchsafe to the people an honest ballot
and fair count.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says Judge
Pennypacker can be placed before the
people with the confidence that they
will find in his personal character and
capacity the kind of ability and fitness
which Pennsylvania should recognize
in the choice of a Governor. His whole
career, public and private, is a guaran
tee that he is fit to administer the Gub
ernatorial office cleanly and efficiently
as a public trust. In the course of the
canvass none of his opponents has cast
the shadow of a reproach upon his sterl
ing probitj. The Democrats in Penn
sylvania would have been particularly
gratified at the nomination of Elkin.but
ambition for the place at the head of the
Democratic ticket will rapidly decline
since the Republicans go into the cam
paign with a candidate as unassailable
as Judge Pennypacker. A man conspic
uously fit for the office; an easy winner
at the polls—that is the sum and sub
stance of the practical argument for his
nomination.
Mr. Depew has recently been making
observations and conducting inquiries
with regard to the probable action of
the Republican National convention
that will assemble in 1904. He is con
vinced as the result of these observa
tions that the people are with President
Roosevelt, and will insist on his nomina
tion to succeed himself. The politicians
may be against Roosevelt, but Mr. De
pew believes the people will compel his
nomination regardless of politicians.
"The sentiment is widespread," said the
Senator, "that President Roosevelt is
making a good Chief Executive, and the
people say he must have another term."
Robert Emory Pattison is going to
lead the forlorn hope in the campaign
against Judge Pennypacker. Well.
Homebody must take the drubbing and
having been honored by his party several
times the former Governor probably
feels that it is his duty to stand the
lambasting.

Head It in His Newspaper.
George Schanb, a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, < )hio. is a con
stant reader of the Dayton Volkszeitung.
He knows that this paper aims to adver
tise only the best in its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had suf
fered with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says:
"After using the Pain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, 'I feel as
though born anew,'and before using the
entire contents of the bottle the unbear
able pains had entirely vanished and
she could again take up her household
duties. He is very thankful and hopes
that all suffering likewise will hear of
her wonderfull recovery. This valuable

THE SOLDIERS
AND THE POLICE
A man who wore a soldier's uniform
has been in this city for several days
looking for work. Yesterday the
police were looking for liim but he
could not be found and ir is supposed
that he has transferred his search for
employment elsewhere.
Daniel Lanflas is another old soldier
who ran afoul of the Danville police
and who has bade farewell to this city.
He came here Saturday evening wear
ing the clothes of a civilian, but with
a rare fund of army stories that were
told to all who would listen.
Lauflas, according to I»is stories,
fought with Roosevelt at San Juan
hill, was a veteran of the Porto Rican
campaign, served in the Philippines
and traveled miles on the war vessels
of the nation. Put with all his ser
vice for IJucle Sain none ot the coin
of said 11. S. lined the exchequer of
this hero of many battles. By 11is wit
he gained some money and much of
the ambrosial fluid which inebriates.
Twic® he was arrested for begging and
was allowed togo on a promise to be
f*ood.
He claimed to have work here but
this story was disproven. He finally
concluded that Danville had absorbed
all his wondrful stories of the wars
and left for other parts.

EARLY CLOSING
BY MERCHANTS
The early closing of our stores for
the summer will 00l go into cinet
until July 7th,the Monday succeeding
the Fourth. The Clerks' Union had
decided upon July 3rd as the date for
closing at six o'clock, but this met
with some opposition 011 the ground
that in view of the holiday following,
July 3rd will he a very busy day in
the stores and closing at o'clock
would be attended with inconvenience
to customers and loss to the merch
ants. The day following the Fourth
will be Saturday the one day which
under the proposed terms forms au ex
ception to early closing.
The merchants have not as yet all
signed the agreement. A few are still
waiting to see what their competitors
will do in the matter. Early closing,
during the summer however, lias been
accomplished hero in the past and
there is little doubt but what when
the 7th. of July arrives the merchants
will fall into line and close their
stores as desired.
The clerks deserve to succeed. Dur
ing their agitation of early closing
they have shown a conservative and
deferential spirit, receding time and
again from their position in order to
bring their movement into harmony
with the views of their employers.
During the heat and the long days of
summer the position of a clerk is by
no means an enviable one. The few
hours of rest and recreation they ask
have no doubt been well earned by
their devotion to duty. They have
the sympathy of the public and the
merchants who fall in witli early clos
ing follow a course that can not but
command approval.

In the Army at 10 Years.
The Wilkesbarre Record has this to
say in a recent issue:
Charles Peter Harder, postmaster of
Danville, Pa. was in town last Wed
nesday on a short visit and called upon
Postmaster Halm, who extended him
many courtesies. He was accompani
ed by Samuel Johnson, a well known
druggist and Republican politician of
Montour (!ounty.
This city is Mr. Harder's birthplace.
He removed from here to Danville
with his parents when a boy. He was
born forty-nine years ago on Franklin
street and is said to lie the youngest
Grand Army man in the United States.
While this might be doubted by many,
it is a matter of fact that he entered
the army of the late Rebellion at the
age of 10 years and <> months as a drum
mer boy in the 187 th Regiment, under
Col. Pearson, and remained until the
close of the war. The regiment at
that time was made up in Danville
and surroundings by Col. Joseph
Ramsey, who was the recruiting offic
er. There was some objection to tak
ing him at first, but he, proved to be
so determined that they finally consent
ed to let him go along. lb; lias been
married and has three daughters. His
father, who has since died, was Peter
Harder,a well known contract plaster
er in this city, at that time residing
in the house he owned on Franklin
street, now the residence and property
of Ex-Judge Harding. Postmaster
Harder is a second cousin of Charles
B. Metzger of this city. Mr. Harder
pointed out with pride many of the
old structures left here. He thought
his parents made a mistake in moving
away, as they owned property on the
public square and other places that is
now very valuable.
Drove to Chestnut Glen.
A hack party of ladies from this
city was driven out to Chestnut Glen,
Mrs. J. H. Johnson's summer home,

IN MI;M()RY OF
RRV. DR. McATEE
At the fnueral of Rev. Dr. William
A. McAt.ee, held at the manse of the
Grove Presbyterian church on Tues
day, June <5, an address was made hy
Rev. Dr. James Carter, minister of
the Church of the Covenant,Williams
port. It was a just and worthy trib
ute to the uoblc qualities of the be
loved one who had passed away and is
published that all may read its words
upon the mystery of death and its
measure of the life just closed. The
following is the address:
"The stately dramatic poet of
Greece, Sophocles, in his tragedy of
Oedipus, the King, employs these
words:
"Reckon no man happy till you see
The closing day; until he pass the
bourne
Which severs life from death,unscath
ed by woe.''
"So spoke the Athenian, spelling out
his thoughts in the dim light of heath
enism; but we of today have a better
conception and a better word, illum
ined by the radiance from the cross.
We know more of tlio meaning of life,
of the schooling of suffering, of the
significance of sacrifice. We know
the Father because we have seen the
Son. We conquer the world, because
our citizenship is in Heaven. For us
there is a different definition of life,
au altered estimate of death. They
spoke of life; we think of service.
They spoke of happiness; we think of
blessedness. They sptVke of the shades
of earth; we think of the light of
God's presence.
"The measure of :i man's value to
society is discoverable not so much by
reference to the things which are
seen and touched, as to the things
which can not be weighed in visible
scales or measured by a carpenter's
rule. That measure is determined by
au ascertainment of the investment
and contribution which is his in hu
man joy and comfort and refinement
of soul, in the inspiration and stimu
lation and aspiration derived from
him, in the better understanding of
the heart of our Father, the nearer
fellowship in the suffering of our Sav
iour, the closer following of the Spirit
of God.
"When we speak of our beloved, we
love to dwell on the qualities and out
goings which endeared them to us.
Each has his own memory, full and
sufficient for himself. If one should
speak to another it would but call
forth some different phase of the per
sonality, which to that other was yet
more distinctive and eloquent. The
best estimate of the one must come
short of the knowledge of the other.
Peculiarly must it be thus in the life
of the large-hearted, sympathetic, re
fined personality to which we do rev
erem e this day. Brave and true,
strong and tender, clear visioned and
tolerant, a scholar of rare culture, "Of
vigorous thought, of masterly expres
sion, ready to stand against the entire
World ill defense of the truth beloved,
sensitive as a woman in the affection
ate outgoing of his nature —is it poss
ible to speak of him without omitting
so much that appeals to the memories
of his niter acquaintance that the
effort to characterize one so greatly
heloved, might almost seem an imper
tinence in its incompleteness.
" Vim recall him as the richly in
stant ive preacher, as the affable vis
itor in jour homes,as the sympathetic
consoler in the hour of trial, as the
wise advisor in the day of perplexity.
Hi< friends will ever delight to recall
him in his home,the ideal host,rejoic
ing in all good thoughts and deeds,and
sharing his good things with lavish
unselfishness. For me there shall
ever be memorable that last Sabbath
in his life,as I saw liini brave and pat
ient,self-forgetful, gently considerate
of those at his bedside, rejoicing in
the joy of those whom he loved. His
face comes to me as it lay upon the
pillows, the eager happy eyes, the
white hands on the white counter
pane, the sympathetic quaver of his
cheery voice, his look out of the win
dow to the fresh swaying foliage of
the avenue, his pleasure in the re
freshing breeze, his joy in his Fath
er's world. And so each of us sums
up in some single recollection some
thing more adequately bodying forth
the friend he loved than anything
which could be said or written ; but
all were vain to picture that which
was central in his life, the thought
and allegianco of bis soul to the Lord
of his life, through whom the world
was transformed, and for the love of
whom lie bent himself to the task as
much as lay with him to transform
the world to that peerless likeness.
Christ, with him was first and last,
his ideal, his Saviour, his King. In
Christ was his faith, in Christ his
aspiration, in Christ his hope of eternal
life.
"We stand beside a soldier's tent.
Life and thought have flown away
side by side, the flight not of defeat
but of the upsoariug victor—armor on
to the last, helmet on brow and sword
in hand. His Captain called him to
a higher post, to a larger service, and
this day he stands transfigured in that
resplendent presence. Four days in
Paradise; all the books of earth do
not contain the knowledge gained in
those hours of glory. It is not for us
to grudge to him that rapture of glory ;
we only long to share with him his
deathless joy.
"Nor yet is it ours to crown liim ;
it is for us, like liim, to strive that
we may also In- crowned. For wlu-n
all is said, the crowns ol' tin; laud of
light arc not circlets of gold but. graces

ious development of character? Breth
ren, we count not ourselves to have
reached that royal stature, the perfect
man; hut let us reach upward toward
it, forgetting the things of the past,
and stretching forward to that which
is before, may we so run that we ob

What to Do.
There is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root ts soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases,

best. Sold by druggists in 50c. andsl. sizes.

wonderful discovery

Upper Augusta, Pa.
1 fed "Diehl's Condition Powder" to
my chickens according to directions
and found it the best I ever used. When
1 to feed it my chickens were sick
with the ronp. I have seventy-five
chickens now. and yon never saw a
finer lot. They have fine red combs
and lay lots of eggs all through this
cold weather, 1 also fed some to my
hogs; it kept them healthy and gave
them a good appetite, helping them to
fatten. I say upon honor that it is the
best powder in tne market.
Yours truly,

"Diehl's Horse, Cattle and Poultry
Powder" is far superior to anything of
the kind I have ever used, and can re
commend it to all. Am confident that
using a reliable powder and keeping
stock in good health is a most profitable
and economical investment t<> the own-
Oi, and I want no better powder than
yours. T. 11. E tic Alt.

CHELSEA'S NOTED BUNS.
All London I #i'd to Vlnit Mrs. Hand*
on Good Friday.
However religious observances .may
change in England, the eating of hot
cross buns 011 Good Friday is not likely j
to die out. Still, enthusiasm in this j
particular has considerably declined j
since the days when Mrs. Hands kept |
the Chelsea Hun House at the corner
of Jews' row, now I'irnlico road. Sr
many people were in the habit of flock
ing there on Good Friday in order t<
pat hot cross buns that on one occasion
f.r»,000 persons assembled there, and
£250 was taken in the day for buns
alone. After this the Inhabitants 112
Chelsea protested against the noise and
disturbance this caused, and Mrs
Hands, fearing to be restrained by tli<:
law, issued in 1703 a quaint proclama
tlon, stating how, "desirous, therefore,
of testifying her regard and obedience
to those laws by which she is happily
protected, she is determined, though
much to her loss, not to sell cross buns
on that day to any person whatever,
but Chelsea buns as usual."
This Mrs. Hands was something of a
character in her own way. The royal
family and many of the aristocracy
used to visit her in the morning, and
Queen Charlotte even presented her
with n silver half gallon mug contain
Jug 5 guineas. The house remained in
the possession of her family for some
time, as Sir Richard Phillips, writing a
few years before its destruction, men
tions. After admitting that for upward
of thirty years he had never passed the
house without tilling his pockets, lie
goes onto say, "These buns have af
forded a competency and even wealth
to four generations of the same family,
and it is singular that their delicate
flavor, lightness and richness have nev
er been successfully imitated." When
Ranelagli was closed, the Bun House
declined in popularity, though as late
as 183i> 24,000 buns were sold on flood
Friday alone.- London Chronicle.
POWERFUL VOICES.
Some lllntorftc* Sh Who Ante
dated the Famous Stcutor.
The question has often been asked,
"Who was the most loud voiced man
of history?" The answer usually is
that It was Stentor, of whom Homer
says his voice was as loud as that ot
fifty other men combined and from
which we get the phrase "stentorian
voiced." But we have record of two
historic "slirit kers" anterior to Ilomer.
We read where Simeon and Levi fought
against the twelve men of the city of I
Sarton and that Levi beheaded one
man with his own sword. In chapter
Its, verse 41, of the book referred to the
story is related in the following words:
"And the sons of Jacob seeing that
they could not prevail over the twelve,
Simeon gave a loud and tremendous
slniek, and the eleven remaining men
were stunned by the awful shriek."
In chapter .s!'. same book, verse 19,
we tind the following account of the
battles of the s;iiis of Jacob with the
inhabitants of the city of Oaasli. It
seems as though the battle was both In
the front and in the rear and that the
warriors on the wall were throwing
sptars and hurling stones upon the
sons of Jacob. What next occurred, as
related in chapter and verse above
cited, is recorded in these words:
"And .Itn'.ah, seeing that the men of
(Jaasli were getting too heavy for
them, gave a piercing and tremendous
shriek, and all the men of (Jaasli were
terrified at Judah's cry. and men fell
from the wall at the sound of his pow
erful shriek, and all those that were
without as well as those within the
city were greatly afraid of their lives."
