[Special Correspondence. 1
Reading. Sept. 6.
Pennsyl-Pennsyl Pennsylvania!
Pennsyl Pennsyl-Pennsyl-vania!
Pennsyl Pennsyl-Pennsyl-vanla!
She's going to blaze the way!
For Teddy and Fairbanks, too!
(To air of "Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!")
The campaign song will be
■ung In every section of the common
wealth after the convention of the
Btate League of Republican Clubs,
which Is to be held In Reading on Sep
tember 21. 22 and 23.
Already enthusiastic Republican
clubmen who are preparing to attend
the convention are singing this song
at home, and they expect to Join In a
mighty chorus when they get together
In the convention from every county in
the state and formally open the presi
dential election in Pennsylvania. The
convention of the clubmen this year
promisee to be the greatest In the his
tory of the league, and much of the
credit for the success of the conven
tion v4HI be due to the active co-oper
ation of Chairman Penrose and Secre
tary Andrews, of the Republican state
•ommlttee, who have given every as
alstance possible to President John R.
Wiggins and Secretary John Kelley
and the other officers of the leaguo and
the members of the local committee
of arrangements.
Benator Penrose made a personal
appeal to Chairman Cortelyou, of the
Republican national committee, and
Chairman Babcock, of the Republican
congressional committee, to send
speakers of national reputation to the
league's convention, and they have
promised to comply with his request.
As the result of Senator Penrose's
visit to New York, Candidate for Vice
President Charles W. Fairbanks, of
Indiana, and Senator Joseph B. For
aker, of Ohio, are among others who
have been assigned to address a mass
meeting under the auspices of the
State League, which will be held in
the Reading Academy of Music on
September 21. It is expected that
there will be a number of other dis
tinguished Republicans from other
states to address the meeting In addi
tion to many of the leaders of the Re
publican organization of Pennsylvania.
Senator Penrose, Senator-elect Knox,
Governor Pennypacker, Attorney Gen
eral Carson and a host of others havo
been invited to be present. Every Re
publican member of congress from
Pennsylvania Is expected to attend, so
that the gathering will bo a notable
one.
There will be music and fireworks
galore and special excursions to Mount
Penn and other points of attraction In
and about Reading will be arranged
for the entertainment of the delegates,
alternates and other visitors to the
convention. Secretary Kelley estimates
that at least 25'! clubs will be repre
sented, and that the number of visitors
who will accompany the delegates will
be the largest on record
The convention of the club league
will be the lii.iu arntion of a brilliant
series of Republican mass meetings to
be held under the auspices of the Re
publican state committee Senator
•led Philander C. Knox who has just
returned from a trip abroad, had a
conference wHh Chairman Penrose last
week and agreed to speak at a mass
meeting to he held In the Academy of
Music in Philadelphia, under the direc
tion of the Manufacturers' Club of that
city. This will he one of the largest
demonstrations that will he held in the
state during the campaign. It Is pro
poiied to have a tremendous rally of
employes of the various manufacturing
plants In the Quaker City that have
prospered under the protective tariff
and which would be jeopardized in the
event of the election of a Democratic
president and of a Democratic con
gress favorable to the Democratic Idea
of free trade.
Capital and labor will figure con
spicuously in this meeting which Is
likely to be one of the most unique
features of the presidential contest
A large delegation of active Repub
licans from Allegheny county were In
conference with Chairman Penrose
last week relative to a series of mon

pose to hold In Pittsburg and vicinity
They submitted a list of orators they
desired, which among others includei

REPUBLICANS CARRY
STATE OH VERMONT
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Ver
mont, Sept. 7.—With eleven towns out
of 24fi cities and towns yet to be beard
from, later and revised returns today
indicated that the Republicans carri
ed the state of Vermont yesterday by
a plurality in the neighborhood ol 31,
800. This is a Republican gain over
I'JOO when the plurality at the state
election was 31,312.
The total figures for all but eleven
towns give Charles J. Bell, Republi
can 41),815 for Oovernor and Eli H
Porter, Democrat 15.D79.0r a plurality
of 30,836 for Mr. Bell. The vote for
Congressman ran slightly behind that
for the head of tho state ticket Con
gressman Kittiedeg Haskinsand David
J. Foster being re-elected.
The latest reports indicate that the
next stato Senate will be solidly Re
publican, the Democrats losing their
present five seats and that the Demo
crats will lose about 10 representa
tives.

A provincial clergyman during his
sermon caught tight of n member of
his congregation wearing a very wor

brightened, and during the remainder
of the service hts appearance betokened
a perfect freedom from care.
"I am pleased to think, William," re
marked the clergyman after the serv
ice, "that my words helped you some
what tliis morning. I noticed during
my discourse that your face lit up and
the sunshine of smiles chased the
clouds of worry away. Now, what
portion of my sermon appealed so
strong to you, eh 7"

couldn't tit it in no how.
"Then I happened to catch a word or
two of what you said about the prep

"If we cannot be happy," says Sir
John Lubbock, "the fault is generally
In ourselves. Eplctetus was it poor
slave, and yet how much we owe to
him! 'How possible,' he says, 'that a
man who has nothing, who is naked,
houseless, without a hearth, squalid,
without a slave, without a city, can
pass a life that flows easily! See; God
has sent you a man to show you that
it 1B possible. Look at me, who am
without a city, without a house, with
out possessions, without a slave. I sleep
on the ground. I have no wife, no chil
dren, no praetorium, but only the earth
and the heavens, and one poor cloak.
And what do I want? Am 1 not with
out sorrow? Am I not without fear?
When did any of you see me falling In
the object of my desire or ever falling
into that which I would avoid? Did I
ever blame God or man? I>ld I ever
accuse any man? Did any of you ever
see me with a sorrowful countenance?
And how do I meet with those whom
you are afraid of and admire? I>o I
not treat them as slaves? Who, when
be sees me, does not think that he set-3
his king and his master?' "

Some years ago a fierce war waged
In India between the English and Tip

English officers were taken prisoners.-
Among them was one named lialrd.
One day a native officer brought in
fetters to ho put on each of the prison

had been severely wounded and was
suffering from pain and weakness. A
gray haired officer said to the native
official:
"You will not think of putting chains
upon that wounded man?"
"There are Just as many pairs of fet
ters as there are captives," was the
answer, "and every pair must be
worn."
"Then," said the noble officer,"put
two pairs on me. I will wear bis as
well as my own."
This was done. Strange to say, ltaird

AIDING NATIONAL COMMITTEE
State Committee Is Co-Operating With
the Members of the National Com
mittee In the Campaign For Roo«»-
velt and Fairbanks.
[bp. i ial < orrespondence. 1
Philadelphia, Sept. 6.
A fitting compliment was paid to the
Repuliii iii organization of Pennsylva
nia last v, k by Chairman Cortelyou,
of tin Republican national committee.
It w is upon the occasion of Senator
Pi m visit to the national commit
tee hea ! I'mrt'Ts in New York, when
the snlij- : of suite organizations wa»
uud« r consideration.
"Penn. ylvania Republicans have the
finest, most compact and most loyal
Republican organization in the coun
try," : l id Chairman Cortelyou, "and I
vish that other states would
copy the ni I hods and manifest the en
thusiasm and the ardor which is being
shown by the Republicans of th® Key-
Btone tate In the present campaign."
Senator Penrose visited the national
chain :11 upon a special invitation
from Mr Cortelyou, who desired to
talk over a number of matters of im
portance in connection with the presi
dential campaign. Their interview was
a most cordial and satisfactory one,
and Chairman Cortelyou was assured
that h" could always count upon Penn
sylvania foi men and money, as occa
sion demanded.
As chairman of the Republican state
commit! "e, Senator Penrose has organ
ized a corps of spellbinders, whose ser
vi• • placed at the call of
Chain: an Cortelyou for duty in the
doubtful states, and he has already
done considerable effective work ir aid
ing tin members of the advisory com
mittees named by the national chair
man to collet campaign subscriptions
for the presidential contest. Pennsyl
vania is sc. ond only to New York In
the amount of money contributed to
Republican campaigns, and with the
co-operation of State Chairman Pen
rose the representatives of the national
committee who are soliciting contribu
tions in (his state will, it is believed,
be able t< make gratifying reports.
Information received at the state
headipiart* is dally indicates a general
disposition among Republicans to help
make good Senator Penrose's predic
tion that Pennsylvania will even sur
pass the record-breaking majority of
301,000 for McKinley by giving Roose
velt at least 325,000 majority. It was
this statement to Chairman Cortelyou
that brought forth his very complimen
tary reference to the Republican organ
ization of Pennsylvania.
No one nr.' thoroughly familiar with
conditions in this state can appreciate
the ramifications and the sturdy char
acter of tie Republican organization
of Pennsylvania. As it stands today it
has stood for > • ars, over loyal to the
principle of Republicanism and ever
steadfa; t to the Republican nominees.
This organization was not built in a
day It is the result of the careful,
j watchful Inter, st of men of intelligence
and activity men who have labored
1 hard to < incnt the various Interests in
I the f--' veral counties and who have
; welded together into a compact body
(ho brains and the brawn of stalwart
Republican! tn of every section of the
commonwealth.
The on tni/.atlon of Pennsylvania
today repi nts hundreds of thousands
of Repu! ii voters who are In touch
with the preeinet. committees and
throii. h them the county organizations
and the stat -ommlttce. These voters

acting upon any proposition affecting
that district Me b lievos that the men
who labor year in and year out in the
Interest of the party are the men to be
consulted.
As chain ian of the state committee,
he believes that every young Repub
lican ambitious to be a factor In his
party's organization should follow this
course, and he has advised many young
men since the opening of the present
contest to at once get in touch with
the committeemen from their respec

throughout the «ampaign. He holds
that this is tin only way for a young
Republican to ! • eome a power In his

MARCHING
TO MUKDEN
MUKDEN, Tuesday, Sept. 6.—Part
of the Rassiau army which is coming
to Mukden by wagon road is in danger
of being oat off. All day and night
Monday the Japanese in the hills on
the east road, shelled the Russian
troops. ID the Japanese
infautry attacked a large force of Rus
sian infantry and artillery which had
taken to the hills running parallel to
the Japanese, in protecting the Hank
of the retreating army.
Troops,guns and transports are pour
ing into Mukden by train and road.
Considerable transport was left be
hind.
The roads are in a frightful state
owing to tho heavy rain Monday. The
main Russian army pushing northward
is evacuating Mukden.
KELIEVE KUROPATKIN
MAS REACHED SAFETY
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 7.—l:4ft
p. m—From the latest advices receiv
ed by the war office the authorities
now believe that the dauger of Field
Marshal Oyama catting off General
Knropatkin has practically passed.
According to their calculations the
whole Russian army should reach
Mukden tomorrow night.
Generals Karoki and Knropatkin
have been marohiug northward along
paralell lines.both armies being great
ly hampered by heavy roads, the Jap
anese in a rough region and the Rus
sians along a fiat country but em
harassed by the high Chinese corn,
which prevented marching on the side
of the main roads.
No difficulty is being experienced
at ttie Han river, a few miles south of
Mukden, where bridges had beon pro
vided for crossing the stream. There
has beeu oonstaut lighting at the Rus
sian rear and along the eastern wing
but so far as is known by the war
office nothing of importance has occur
red since the retreat began.
|The general staff naturally is retic
ent about Kuropatkin's plans, especi
ally whether he intends to stop at
Mukden. His deoision probably will
depend upon the intentions of the Jap
anese. Contingent preparations will
probably be made to evacuate Mukden
and there is considerable evidence that
Kuropatkin, if compelled togo north
will make a stand at Tieling, where
the Russian* wintered last year. Tiel
ing is forty miles north of Mukden.
At this point there is a uarrow defile,
with the Liao river on one side and
mountains running almost down to the
railroad on tne other. Steps are being
taken to guard against a possible at
tempt to out the lino there.
The report that the sailing of the
Baltic squadrou had been postponed
until November is officially denied as
also is the report that several of the
ships composing it developed defeots.
The squadron will sail for Libau Sun
day. Exaotly when it will sail thence
is not known.
Although the report that Rear Ad
miral Ouktomsky in command of the
Russian fleet at I'ort Arthur, is to be
court martialed is untrue, the Admir
alty has decided to recall him,probab
ly placing Captain Wiren of the arm
ored cruiser Bayau in command It
has been realized all along that Ouk
tomsky lacked the requisites of a com
mander of a fleet under such difficul
ties but owing to the impossibility of
sending a flag offioer to Fort Arthur
he is allowed to remain in command.
The admiralty is greatly dissatisfied
with his action in returning to Port
Arthur, August 10, in the face ot the
order of the late Admiral Withoft not
to do so and this led to the decision to
supplant him.

AHERICAN CONSUL
SAFE IN HARPUT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The Am
erican consul at Harput has reported
to the State Department that he has
visited Bitlis and is now in Moush.
He says that the governor goueral of
the latter province paid him a visit on
his arrival and offered him an escort
to visit the Sassun mountains if he de
sired.
The Consul states that the District
of Sassun is tranquil and pacified and
the strategic points are garrisoned by
infantry detachments and permanent
barracks erected. The survivors of the
massacre are in destitute condition but
are attempting to rebuild their burn
ed villages with a little government
aid. The consular corps at Bitlis esti
mates the number ot massacred and
dead from exposure, and hunger, etc.,
as 3,500. The American colony at Bitlis
appears to be in no present or prospec
tive danger.
In the Monsh district insurgents have
adopted a guerrila form of warfare,
ambuscading troops and bodies of
Kurds. They demand certain reforms
which concern chiefly mattors of local
administration and economio questions
not involving the integrity of the Em
pire. A number of villages have been
plundered and burned and many per
sons killed and maltreated, and anoth
er massacre is dailv expected by the
armenian population which is in des
titute circumstances.
About 15,000 have lost everything
and are stai ving, many being ill and
wounded. Small contributions toward
their relief have been received through
the American board of Commissioners
for foreign missions at Bitlis but much
more is needed
DONNELLY BELIEVES
STRIKE WILL LAST
CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—The voting by
the local unions interested in the ques
tion of whether the stock yards strike
shall be declared off or not, is over
and the ballots are to be counted this
morning. The result will be first made
known to the conference board of the
Allied Trades Council and after that
body has taken "final action" it will
be known definitely what tlie strikers
are going to do.
"I think the proposition has been
defeated," said President Donnelly.
"Of the 1,285 beef butchers," he said,
"750 met aud 1)9 per cent, voted to re
main out on strike. The teamsters
have announced their intention to stay
out despite the action of the other an
ions."
Tho beef loaders, 200 in number,
voted unanimously to continue the
strike.
It was stated by the packers that
there were no desertions from the un
ion ranks when their establishments
opened today.
Cass Schmidt, vice president of the
Butcher Workmen,said it was estimat
ed that no more than 25 per cent, of
all the strikers throughout the coou
try voted ou tho peace proposition.

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis

and both need the same great remedy.

tho crowd, rather disgusted to see noth
ing more thun a little smoke and a bro
ken basement window, had dispersed.
But. says tho Chicago News, a number
of small boys still hung about the
house, apparently expecting a fresh
outburst of tho Are.
They were as quiet as ten or twelve
boys gathered together under such ex
citing circumstances usually are. They
scuttled up and down the steps, peer
ing Into the window and shouting the
result of their observations. They ran
up the front steps and peered inquir
ingly into the vestibule.
Suddenly the front door opened, and
a little woman came out It was plain
that she had not entirely recovered
from the shock of the engines and the
smashing glass, hut she made a heroic
effort to speak calmly.
"Now, boys," she said, "go right
away, If you please! There is nothing
here to Interest you! This Is Just a lit

A class of normal school girls were
asked to pretend for one day that they
did not know how to read, in order to
bring home to them the Importance
of reading In education. They were
asked to make a list of the things that
they would have been prevented from
doing during that day If they had not
the ability to read. The lists were read
in class the next afternoon. Borne
very properly said that they could not
have learntnl their lessons for the next
day, could not have read the papers to
find out the hour for the musicale the
night before, could not have read the
catalogue to find out what the pictures
were at the art exhibition, etc. But
the eternal feminine finally cropped out
In one list which concluded with, "I
could not have read the slKn In M. &
G.'e store saying that they were hold
ing a bargain sale In shirt waists and
would have missed buying a dandy at
a very low price."—New York Times.

All Idol's Long Sleep.
In Pegu may be seen an English sen
try keeping guard over a Burmese
Idol. The Burmese believe the Idol Is
asleep and that when he awakes the
end of the world will come. The sen
try Is there to prevent any one from
entering the pagoda, which Is his place
of repose, and awakening him. His
slumbers have lasted 6,000 years.

The followiug circular is being sent
out by Philadelphia liquor dealers:
"If you will not stand up for your
own cause, do not expect others to
champion your interests. The liquor
question is fast becoming paramount
iu the politics of the state, and it bul
needs unity, determination and per
severance on tho part of all retail
dealers to win a full measure of theii
long-denied rights. Heinz, the picklf
man, and Carnegie have each put up
$15,000 for the temperance people to
fight us. They are going to push a
local option law. The liquor dealers
must get ready for them,for they mean
to break us if they can."
