"It Is ln«leod gratifying," Bald Chair man Penrose, "to find the men Identi fied with the party organisation throughout the state manifesting BO keen an Interest In the approaching election. There Is every reaaon to be lieve that the Republican county com mitteemen and the party voters gen erally recognize the Importance of our getting out a full vote in November, and that they are determined to lei nothing undone to accomplish tills re sult" ALL FOR ROOSEVELT. Senator Penrose was particularly pleased with the reports regarding tl# convention of the State League of Re publican Clubs held at Wilkeabarre, which marked practically the opening of tho state campaign, and regretted that unforeseen circumstances had prevented him from being present. The large attendance and the enthusiasm witnessed at this contention must be taken as additional evidence of the ardor with which the young Republi cans of Pennsylvania are entering In to the spirit of the campaign with a view to preparing for the presidential election of neit year. They are all for Roosevelt, and they want It known that they are going to see to It that he receives the nomina tion to succeed himself In the White House. They stand solidly with the Pennsylvania Republican organisation on this Issue. After reaffirming their fealty and de votion to the principles of Republican ism. as set forth in the state and na tional platforms of the party and in dorsing the state candidates, the club men declared: "We give our most cordial Indorse ment to the splendid administration of President Theodore Roosevelt, who BO fully exemplifies and reflects our Ideal of American citizenship In both private and public life, and we com mend his courageous, sound and pa triotic administration. We congratu late him on tho success he has already attained both at home and In his for eign policy, and pledge him our earn est support in his future labors In bo half of our great country. "We also congratulate the people «112 Pennsylvania upon the safe and con servative administration of our state affairs, Governor Pennypacker having already proved himself a wise, prudent, firm and conscientious executive. "Believing In organisation, we pledge ourselves to the service of our party and our country in the battle of 1604 for the maintenance of protection to American labor, a sound financial pol icy and the development of American Influence for commerce and civilian tlon." MASSES ARE AROUSED. That Is where the Toung Republi cans of Pennsylvania stand In this contest Many members ef the State League are farmers or business or profeslonal men. who take but an occasional In terest In polltlca, but that they are all now aroused to the Importance ef the campaign cannot be Questioned. The sentiments of the Republicans of Northampton were eloquently ex pressed a few days a«o by thetr county convention, which among other things aet forth: "The general prosperity of the enna try which has been realised from the Republican tariff laws based upon the cardinal principle of protection, must not be disturbed by vicious tarif tin kering. which Is threatened by the Democratic party In Its usual dlsposl tion to lead the country Into the chan nels of free trade and commercial de pression.

Mr. Charles Townsend, the noted dramatist, has woven together one of the most inter esting and delightful pure stories of noteworthy scenes and incidents, Ih<- fore, during and after the great flood of IHSU. The play is a decided depar turn from anything that has ever been presented in this i ity. The story is consistently told, tlie comedy is irre sistible, the pathos and sentiment blend well together, and a vein of strong, sensational and dramatic action is brought to the surface, that, holds the auditor until the fall of the curtain. Tip scenery and electrical effects, whirh are carried, complete, aiemag nificont, and the mechanical effects, particularly the great Hood scene, is a perfect revelation in stage mechanism. A large, capable company of players interpret the characters. When a new production can achieve a continuous run outside of the metrop olis it must possess more than ordin ary merit. Yet that is precisely what Willard Spenser's new comedy opera, "Miss Hob White" did in Philadel phia. More than that: its run carried it far into the torrid spell aud the au dience at the closing performance was fully as large as at the opening. It is not at all improbable that it could have still been running smoothly along in the city of Brotherly Love if the at tempt had been made. "Miss Rob White" will be seeu in this city at the Opera House on Saturday night and the same elaborate production that tickled the theatrical palates in Phila delphia will be on view during its local engagement. No attempt at curtailment m any particular will be made. The gorgeously picturesque scenery, the beautiful kaleidoscopic dressed,the brilliant,sparkling electric and calcium effects, all will be seen here just the same as if "Miss Bolt White" was to rem tin among us in definitely. That Mr. Spensei's melo dious musical score will receive just treatment enough cannot be douhted as Messrs Nixon it Zimmerman with their aceustomed liberal management have supplied the most important com ponent parts of an orchestra which : '"A % A 112 they carry with the company. 1 lie en tire band will be directed by Clarence Itogersou, the well known musical director.

The story of "Missßob White" revolves around an election bet made by two young millionaires and the loss of which compels them to mas querade as tramps for two mouths and to earn their own living duriug that time by their wits. Mr. Harry Belman who enacts the role of "Tracy" in "Tracy the Ban dit" has been specially engaged for this season's tour. Having been ac quainted with the original he plays the role true to nature, knowing that anyone who has ever seen the better side of Mr. Tracy's nature could not but know that with all his depreda tions and crime he still was human, and a real human being is what he makes him. With the aid of a brilli ant cast Messrs. A. O. Dorner & Co. mean to make this their best season. Added features will be Nebraska Pill and his troupe of Cowboys and trained dogs and horses.

All drug ELDEST BOY WILL LEAD THE WAY DANNKMORA, N. Y , S pt. 30 - Wardeu Deyo displayed his sympathy for the distracted foster mother of the condemned Van Wormer boys in a most practical manner, evui though ho could not grant her request for a final interview. This denial she very reasonably conceded to be for the best, and her greatest distress appear ed to be in the fact of her inability to convey the bodies to her home town of Kinder Hook for burial. She pite ously appealed to Warden Deyo to know if there were not some fund from which the Statu could meet the expenses. He assured her that there was none, hut promptly added that he thought the matter could be arranged. Ho thereupon produced his purse and handed her a generous contribution to which Hev. Father Belangerpromptly added. They will undoubtedly see that the remains will be shipped to the bereaved mother's home. Mrs. Van Wormer was anixous to know what kind of caskets would be provided and Warden Deyo told her that they would be the best the prison could afford, as there is no undertak ing establishment hero. "Oh, I am so grateful to you for what you have done tor me," the mother sobbed, "and I thank you froiu the bottom ot my heart. I haven't much more to live for now and I do so want them to have a Christian burial.'' The preparations fort he electrocution are progressing in a satisfactory way. Each of them naturally wishes to be the first to meet death in the chair. Burton, the second in age, has declar ed his willingness to submit to any arrangement which the other two m ay make. No definite arrangement as to who shall make the fatal inarch first has been made. Present indications seem to point to Willis, the oldest, as the weakest in heart and nerve. He alone has made no expression as to bis preference iu his future fate. Fied, the youngest, has repeatedly said that he would rather goto the chair than end his life in prison. Put ton has emphatical ly declared his preference for the life term. Since their conversion to the Roman Catholic faith Father Belanger lias been with I hem a great deal of the time and in Ins ministry the boys have found the greatest comfort. That their professions are sincere. Father Bel anger, Warden Deyo and all who have listened to their interviews with the priests are convinced. He will attend them to the list, moment and at th ir own request will administer their tirst and last communion during the moin ing hours before the execution. Albany, N. Y., Sept. 210.—Mrs. Estella Van Wormer, stepmother ot the Van Wormer boys, returned from her fruitless visit to Dannemnia at .'1 o'clock this morning aud went to the home of ane of her nieces,who accom panied her to the prison. She was completely worn out by her long jour ney and will remain here until after the dav of the execution. It was learned here today that Mrs. Van Wormer made a second appeal to Governor Odell Monday night through the kindness of a friend. The frieud, a woman, went to the Executive Man sion to plead for an interview, hut the governor had gone to New York. She was to ask the governor to stay t lie ex ecution of the boys tor a rather pecul iar reason. Mrs. Van Wortuer says that there is a possibility of there mains of Mrs Hallenlteck, widow of Peter Hallenbeck, the mu.'dercd man, being exhumed and the contents of her stomach examined. Just what she hoi>es to have proven by this is not known and has no bearing on the case of the boys, as the widow's death oc curred after the boys had been tried, but iu her desperation Mrs Van Wormer thought it might be an excuse for another stay. It is probable that additional funds will be laised here to help in defray ing the expenses of shipping the bodies to Kinder Hook. Au Inch of Truth.
