Oct. 20.—An unex pected move on the part of the no mocracy to put some life into their State campaign during the last week has put the Republicans on guard and stimulated the majority party work ers to renewed efforts to insure a great Republican triumph at the com ing election. With election day but two weeks off from to-day—it falls on November 3 this year—there is little time left for the county committeemen to prepare for the battle of the ballots. While none but gratifying reports have been received by Chairman Pen °"US are closed to get out the largest possible percentage of the enrolled Republican vote. A FINAL APPEAL. A final appeal has been made this week by Chairman Penrose to the six thousand and more county com mitteemen throughout the State to devote their best energies to the cause during the few days of the cam paign. He congratulates them upon their conscientious work up to date and reminds them that the contest is far more important than it appears to be upon its face. The facts are, he contends, that it is the opening skir mish of the great battle to be fought next year when a president, a vice president, representatives in con gress, and members of the general as sembly are to be chosen, and an over whelming victory will have great In fluence upon the more Importatnt campaign next year. There is no attempt to create the impression that the Republican ticket is In danger, but stress is laid upon the fact that the greater the Reptib lican majority will be next month, the greater will be the influence of the election returns from Pennsylvania in moulding sentiment throughout the country and affecting political condi tions generally. Capitalists and wage-cirners are alike Interested in the result, for it may have far-reaching influence in de termining future business conditions throughout the nation. General H. H. Bingham, the "Fa ther of the House." who was in Wash ington last week, was among the call er?: upon Chairman Penrose to-day. General Bingham Is recognized as one of the leaders in congress, and he- is acknowledged to be held in high es teem at the White House anu uy all the members of the cabinet on account of his years of experience and the excel lence of his judgment. INTEREST IN WASHINGTON. "What about Pennsylvania? was a query I heard on every hand," said General Bingham, in recounting his experiences on his trip to Washington "I found a remarkable interest in our campaign. Not anyone suspected for a moment that any of th. Repub lican candidates was in danger, but there was an almost universal desire to know something about the temper of the people, to learn of he interest they are taking in the election, and whether Republicans have awakened to the important bearing the election returns next month will have upon national politics. "The activity of the Democrats throughout the country in what would ordinarily be regarded as < lections of minor importance, and th" desperate battle being fought by Tammany to get control of the patronage and elec tion machinery of New York city, are conditions which are not being over looked by the national leaders of the Republican party Every Democratic victory next month will give addi tional encouragement to the Demo crats. who. hungry for office arid power, are looking ahead in the vain hope that there will some mishap oc cur to handicap the Republican organ Icatlon for the coming national cam palgn "Pennsylvania Republicans must be alort and active and se,- to it that there shall be n > mishap • p!a> • at the election two weeks ii t ■ e in the old Keystone State The u .

ACTIVE AGENCIES AT WORK Club League and League of College Clubs Laboring With the Coming Presidential Election In View. [Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, Oct. 20. —A feature of the present campaign in Pennsylvania is the determined effort of the Republi can committeemen throughout the state to have all the young men who are qualified 10 vote i ast their ballots for the Republican state and local can didates at the election to be held on November 3. Particular attention is being given to this class of voters by direction of Chairman Penrose, of the Republican state committee, who is looking ahead for the presidential election of next year. Senator Penrose is a great be liever in the policy of reaching out for the first voters, no matter to what part> their fathers may belong, and getting them to cast their first ballots for the Republican candidates. He argues that this is one of the best ways to build up and strengthen an organi zation and to increase the majorities of any party. Hy continuing enrolling the young voters there will always be activity and vitality in the organiza tion and there will be no danger of the party suffering from dry rot and failure to keep in touch with the march of progress. It is believed that the efforts made to get the first voters out for the full Re publican ticket will mean an increase of many thousands of votes for the Re publican nominees next month. There are two agencies upon which Chairman Penrose is relying to assist him and the regular party organiza tion In this line of campaign work—the State League of Republican Clubs and the League of College Clubs. Much effective work has already been done through these agencies and more will be done before election day. QUALIFICATION OF VOTERS. i This information bearing upon the qualification of voters is being circu lated by the Republican state commit tee: All persons born or naturalized in tho j United States and subject to the Juris diction thereof are citizens of the United States and of tha state wherein they reside. Every male citizen 21 years of age possessing the following qualifications shall be entitled to vote at all elec tions : a. He shall have been a citizen of the United States at least one month. b.

The jokes were new and wholesome, while the songs throughout were well rendered and encored many times. George W.

The lyric tenor of Harry Leighton pleaded the audience as it has done for years past. The solos and chor uses were well rendered, with preci sion and plenty of volume. The novel ties are no less pleasing than the min strel | art. Among the specialties are the great Knet/.ger, who performs marvelous amhid xtrous tricks with clubs and hoops; Arthur Rigby. in good monologues and the Melrose troupe of acrobats. A large and en thusia-tic audience filled the Empire last night.—Pittsburgh Gazette, Sept. 15, 11)03. Yogel's Minstrel- will soon appear in Danville.

L_ __ ___j PITTSBURG BANK FORCED TO WALL PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct, 21.—The doors of the Federal National .Bank were not opened for business this morning. The following notice was posted in explanaion: "Closed by the authority of the comptroller of the currency. "John B. Cunningham, receiver." Some such action as this lias been within the possibilities for the past two weeks, forcasted by the determin ed raid made upon the institution's stock on the Pittsburg stock exchange. The positive statements, however, of the president, J. A. Langfett, to the effect that the bank was not in need of money and that its losses would not affect its capital or surplus did much toward allaying distrust on the part of its depositors, thus preventing a run. The closing of the bank was decid ed upon at a meeting of the directors last night,which did not break up un til 2 o'clock this morning. At that hour none ol the officials would make a statement and locally the outcome of the meeting was not generally known until the receiver's notice was posted at 9 o'clock. The bank is a United States deposit ory and reported on baud Sept. 9,5.}0, - <•00 of United States deposits. The stock of the company has been i subjected to sharp declines on the Pittsburg exchange this week. On Monday the stock sold down from 115 to So, but was forced up again to 101. All day yesterday it sagged and the closing quotations were SO bid and 85 asked, a number of transactions hav ing been made at 80. Servant girls are decidedly scarce and as a result are commanding high wages for their services in households. The scarcity of domestic help has al ways been felt in the iarger cities, but not to the extent that it is now, and it is not confined exclusively to the larger cities, as right her. in this town housekeepers are exp rieticiug ! much difficulty in securing female help and in fact in a numb r of in stances cannot secure servants. The first death to occur d'< iug the small-pox epidemic at Cent ilia was that near midnight on Mond i/ of .Miss Hattie Hanley, aged eiglitm n year--, a lirst cousin of the Lewis vi rim, the only member of the Hanley 112 onilv to contract the disease.
