A NEW 80NQ FOR THE CAMPAIQN Chairman Penrose Procurea Speak ara of National Prominence For the State League's Convention at Reading. [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 ster mass meetings which they pro pose to hold In Pittsburg and vicinity They submitted a list of orators they desired, which among others includei Candidate Fairbanks. Speaker Joe Cannon. Senators Penrose and Knox Governor Pennypacker, Attorne> G< n eral Hampton L Carson, Charles Em ory Smith and General Thomas J. Stewart. County Chairman Ford and City Chairman Leslie informed Chairman Penrose that Allegheny county will give Rooaevelt and Fairbanks the larg est majority that has ever been given to any Republican national ticket They informed him that the parly united in Allegheny, and that the greatest enthusiasm prevails among the rank and file of the party organ! *ation Several of the active spirits of thr State League of Clubs were in R< ulins during the last week They reportc that the condition of the party organ! ration in their respective locnliti' > I v*ry satisfactory, and that R* pubfl cans generally intend to give loyal and cordial support to the entire Republl can ticket 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. Old H tin Good. A provincial clergyman during his sermon caught tight of n member of his congregation wearing a very wor rled look. Suddenly the man's face 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" "To tell tin; truth, sir," replied Wil liam, "I wasn't payln' so much atten tion to your preachin' as 1 ought to hev done; 1 was balancln' up tlie week's cash in my mind und found my self two and threepence short. I wor ried and worried about that money, but couldn't tit it in no how. "Then I happened to catch a word or two of what you said about the prep arations that man made for his prodi gal son, and It came into my mind like a flash of lightnln' that I'd spent two and threepence for a new horsewhip to give my boy Jim a thunderin' good hldln'.

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?' " Tin- Two Palm of Fetliri. Some years ago a fierce war waged In India between the English and Tip poo Sahib. On one occasion several 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 ers, the wounded not excepted. 15aird 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 live*] to regain his freedom lived to take the city but his noble friend died In prison. ONE WEEK'S TREATMENT FREE!

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. YOUTH WAS SHOT BY A COHPANION WEST CHESTER, Pa., Sept. 7. Edward H. Hughes, aged six years, of Cheyney, near here, was shot and in stantly killed today by his cousin, James Robb, aged 8 years. The body was literally torn to pieces by a heavy charge of hird shot. The two hoys were playing about the Robb residence when they found the gun. Neither knew it was loaded and Robb point ing it at his cousin,pulled the trigger. The "quietest" wedding on record will couie oft at Harrisburg on the 15th of September, when Miss Emma B.

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 tle private Are!" Whnt She Would Have Unt. 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.
