Will Head Republican Orators In
Stumping Pennsylvania.
PENROSE IS WORKING HARD
Thl» State Ha» Been Especially Fa
vored By the Assignment of Promi
nent Men to Speak For the Republi
can Ticket.
[Special Correspondence.]
Philadelphia, Sept. 13.
Pennsylvania Republicans are being
especially favored In the present cam
paign.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
state is admittedly going to give
Roosevelt and Fairbanks a glorious
majority, the national leaders of tho
Republican party have shown unusual
consideration for the Republican or
ganliatlon of Pennsylvania. They
recognize that Pennsylvania is a great
power not only in the Republican or
ganization of the nation, but in the
congress of the United States. Penn
sylvania has next to the largest num
ber of delegates sent from any state
to the Republican national convention.
H«r influence in the national councils
of the party is frequently more poten
tial than that of any other state, be
causo in recent years she has invari
ably Bent a solid delegation to the Re
publican national conventions.
The nomination of Roosevelt for the
vice presidency in Philadelphia In 1900
was the result of the action of the late
Senator Quay, with Senator Penrose
co-operating, In swinging the Pennsyl
vania delegation into line early for
Roosevelt and thus forming an organi
sation which the late Senator lianna
was unable to defeat.
Bo at Chicago, at the recent Republi
can convention. Senator Penrose, the
Dew loader of the Republican organi
sation of Pennsylvania, led the way
for the nomination of Fairbanks for
vice president, the Pennsylvania dele
gatlon being the first influential body
of delegates to meet in caucus and de
cide to vote as a unit for the Indiana
favorite. This started the stampede to
Fairbanks, and his unanimous nomina
tion quickly followed.
Vice Presidential Candidate Fair
banks Is coming to Pennsylvania to
■how his appreciation of the support
which Senator Penrose and his col
leagues In the Pennsylvania delega
tion gave him at Chicago. Although
he Is in great demand In doubtful
states, Senator Fairbanks has accepted
an Invitation to speak at the conven
tion of Republican clubs which Is to
be opened In Reading on September
21, and he will no doubt there reiterate
his acknowledgment of the support
which Pennsylvania gave him at Chi
cago and which he personally made to
Senator Penrose when he called upon
him after the adjournment of the na
tlonal convention.
The young Republicans of the State
League feel highly honored that Sena
tor Fairbanks should come to this state
at this time. They have appointed a
committee to meet him In Baltimore
and escort him to Reading, where he
will address a meeting In the Acad
emy of Music on the evening of Wed
nesday, September 21.
Secretary Andrews, of the Republi
can state committee, says great prep
aratlons are being made by the Repub
licans of Reading to entertain the vis
Itors on that occasion. A delegation
of active spirits on the several commit
tees addressed a meeting of the Allied
Republican Clubs in Philadelphia a
few nights ago. and tiny guaranteed
an enjoyable time for nil of the delo
gates and those who ni.i> accompany
them. The convention will open on
the morning of September 21. There
will be a trip to Mount Penn that
afternoon, and in the evening ther<
will he a grand parade of local and
visiting Republicans prior to the meet
ing which will be held in the evening.
The convention will hold two sessions
the following day.
Pennsylvania, it Is seen, wields a
power In Republican national conven
tions, and she Is second to no other
state in the strength of her Republican
delegation on the floor of congress In
Republican congressional cam-uses she
has more votes than has any other
state. Her Influence in shaping the
action of the Republican members of
congress can thus be appreciated.
It Is a fitting compliment to the Re
publican congressional delegation from
the Keystone state that the veteran
speaker of the house of representa
tives, "Uncle Joe" Cannon, should ten
der his services to help maintain the
prestige of the Republican delegation
from Pennsylvania in congress. Speak
er Cannon has accepted an invitation
i
to speak In York In support 01 tnr
candidacy of Congressman Lefean for
re-election in the York-Adams district.
This is normally a Democratic district,
but Congressman Lefean has carried
it at the last two elections. Speaker
Cannon, in accepting the invitation to
address a meeting in the district of
Mr McLean, wrote: "Next my neigh
bors in Illinois, my home state, I feel
more at home among Pennsylvania
Republicans than among any others.
They are of tho sturdy, true blue, ever
loyal and aggressive school of Repub
licanism that appeals to me. We want
Pennsylvania to continue as the ban
ner Republican state in the country,
and I will do my best to help her keep
her Republican strength in the house
of representatives. Pennsylvania's in
terests are so great; they are so much
dependent upon Republican supremacy
that every Republican candidate for
congress in the old Keystone state
should have the backing of the full
strength of the Republican organiza
tion. local, state and national, to In
sure victory In November."
HISH WARDENS
ARE BUSY
The war that is being waged against
the small army of illegal fishers along
the course of the Susquehanna, by the
State authorities, was continued at
Sunbury, Tuesday, by Fish Warden O.
O. Harmon, who swore out warrants
for the arrest of several parties.
Warden Harmon, it seems, has been
quietly at work in Sunbury for several
days, but his presence was not known
until Tuesday. Tho one defendant is
charged with using fish baskets with
bottoms, between snurise and sunset,
and this is a direct violation of the
law; the other is charged with giggilig
or spearing fish, which, also, is un
lawful. The informations were made
uerore Justice Carpeuter. The one
party has already been arrested, but
the other, thus far, has been success
ful in evading tho officer with the
warrant. A hearing will be held to
day Both parties protest the accusa
ion, olaimiug that they are innocent.
The State fish authorities for sever
al months past have been watching up
illegal fishers all over the State, and
hundreds of arrests have beeu made.
Up in Centre couuty, last week a
foreigner was arrested for catohiug
two fish out of season and it cost him
just SBB.
It is understood that a number of
other arrests are to bo made in this
vicinity.
Aroosod by reports of fish dying by
thousands in the West Branch, Dr.
Joseph Kalbfus. secretary of the State
Fish and Game Commission, visited
Lock Haven Tuesday, and gathered
more than 9000 dead fish from the riv
er banks iu and around that city.
A net taken from the river contain
ed half its capacity of dead fish, one
of them being a five-pound salmon.
The fines on the epocimens collected
would be more than $9,000.
The pollution of the Sinnemahoning
creek, west of there, is said to be re
sponsible for this condition of the riv
er, and Dr. Kalbfus left Tuesday to
seek the trouble.
Hundreds of dead fish line both the
banks of the river, and it is iapidly
becoming destitute of animal life in
that locality.
UNITED STATES WILL
KEEP PORTS OPEN
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Rear Admi
ral Walker,the head of Panama Canal
Commission, declared today on his ar
rival from Colon on tho Panama
steamship Finance that the United
States government intended to keep
the two open ports iu tho canal zone
in spite of any protests which might
be made by tho Panama government.
Ho added that he did not anticipate
any trouble over the making of Ancon
on the Panama side ot the Isthmus,
aud Cristobol, near Colou, the free
ports of entry.
Rear Admiral Walker said that the
work of the excavation was now pro
ceeding twice as fast and with less
men and at half the cost as tinder the
French company. Health conditions,
he declared, were excellent and the
canal construction work was being
rapidly systematized. He declared that
statements which have found their
way into the press relating to politic
al excitement iu Panama were greatly
exaggerated.

BANKERS OF U. 5.
IN CONVENTION
NEW YORK,Sept. 14.—The conven
tion of the American Bankers' As
sociation opened in this city today
with several hundred delegates being
present from all parts of the country.
President F. C. Bigelow delivered an
address: He said iu part:
Gentlemen of tho Convention: —
However much prejudice there may
appear to be at times against bankets,
our business is of the utmost useful
ness and importance, aud the right
pursuit of it in its broader and better
aspects requires all the courage and
all the conservatism we can command.
We meet in the thirtieth convention
of the American Bankers' Association.
This covers a period of grotesque aud
whimsical financial legislation; some
of our ablest men were infected with
fragments of the silver bacillus and
engaged for years in frantic attempts
to restore the breaking fortunes of sil
ver; some had too much seuse to es
pouse free coinage; but they sought
refuge in tho shifting sand of bimeta
lism. This is all forgiven and forgot
teu now. History, experience aud
logic have killed lumetalism and it
will never vex the world again.
In 1875 we had 1000 members aud our
dues amounted annually to $11,600. Iu
1885 wo had 1,395 members and our
annual dues were $10,500. Iu 1895 we
had 1,570 members and our dues were
about #13,000. Early in this year we
had about 7,000 members and our dues
were $73,000. From this date looking
forward to the coming year, we have
now tin oiled 7,500 members and our
increased dues will bring in an annual
iuoomo of $122,000.
This association was formed for
mutual protection from enemies with
out and within. An enlightened self
interest is the best spring of all hu
man action ; and the most manifestly
valuable work of this association has
beeu that of its protective commit
tee, dealing with attacks from crimin
als, forgeries aud the like.
We have until now collected $5 a
year dues from small banks, and we
have spent at the rate of over $5 a
year ior each bank in tIIM admirable
work of the protective committee.
This has grown with tho years, and
the intelligence of it has appealed to
us all.
I would repeal the limitation ou re
tirement of national bauk notes. If not
all at once, I would certainly increase
the limit to six millions aud after
wards to twelve millions a month.
I would allow the secretary of the
treasury under warrant of law to de
posit all internal revenue, and all
customs receipts in national banks, on
approved security.
While I think the limitations of tho
national bank act as to strictly com
meroial banks, in the matter of real
estate, are wise and prudent. I think,
at the same time,small banks iu coun
try districts can well he allowed to
carry a certain percentage of paper on
real estate security; and I think times
of trial hate shown in this country,
that such paper so secured, has been
entirely safe, and as convertible as
ordinary investment bonds.

FIkEHEN'S TREASURY
Tim auditors* of the State Firemen's
Association,with which the four com
panies in this city are connected, met
at Reading this week and audited the
accounts of A. L. Reiohenbach, of Al
leutown, the treasurer of tlie horly,
and found a healthy state of affairs
existing.
The presence of more than SI,OO
in the association's treasury speaks
well tor those who have had charge of
the finances during the past few years
since when the collection of dues lias
been handled in careful, methodical
manner. By this means the treasury's
reserve has been increased in five years
from $541.1(5 to $1,31)4.1)3,5ure1y a large
gain when it is remembered that the
body was 20 years old when its trea
sury contained the first amount nam

Easy on T h?ae Children.
Be a little lenient with the chil
dren during tho first few weeks at
school.
They have troubles of their own
It is pretty hard to give up the easy
going days of vacation and change all
at once to tho stern regime of the
school room.
Have you forgotten how a wrench
of the heart camo to you years ago
when the school bell rang and you
must go away from the bine sky and
the trees and glass to sit upright at a
desk and compose your face into fixod-
noss over a book ?
Everything was now
The school house walls had boeu
cleaned and there was a new black
board. But most of all—the now
teacher! She might be one of tho-e
rare maiden souls who could smile
herself straight into your heart at the
first meeting. But usually tho new
teacher was an enigma. How you
studied the face, noting every shade
of expression from frown to smile.
Authority sat on that face. Would the
authority be tempered with justice
and kinduess?
You laugh at the mutuory now? It
' was a very real anxiety when your
feet baroly touched the school room
1 floor.
What a blank iu your mind about
last year's lessons! How the sicken
ing sense of failure tortured you when
the boy or girl next you made a suc
cessful recitation. Surely the new
teacher would put you down il dunce.
J Ami how tirod one's back got in
those first days. You fretted like a
wild animal newly caged, but unable
1 to manifest your dire discomfort. You
' simply couldn't study. Betimes your
head was muddlod and there was a
blur of water in your eyes.
J Poor little croaturo. Have you for

' Don't scold the youngiters in the

and nervous, kiss aud comfort her.
After a little while when the cliil
' ilren have settled into the routine.yon

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 Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for Its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

New Pore Food Movement.
The activity ot the State Pure Food
Department has had the effect of stir
ring the retail grocers and provision
dealers to the point of formiug a de
fensive association, the purpose of
which is to protect its members when
they get into trouble because State in
spectors find impure food on their
shelves. This new association was ex
plained tally at a meeting of the
Merchants' Association of York the
other evening, and it must be said that
if it keeps up to its promises and
ideals it will be a material aid to the
authorities instead of a hindrance as
its name seems to imply at first read
ing.
Under the present plan, the merch
ant who sell impure foods is prosecut
ed, while the guilty manufacturer es
capes. As one of the promoters of the
movement says: "We are of ten impos
ed upon by manufacturers who claim
purity tor their goods when they are
adulterated. The merchants Bhould
not be made to suffer for the manu
facturer's dishonesty." Therefore the
association will pursuo the manufact
urer or jobber who got the retailer in
to trouble aud see that he is properly
punished. The association also will
keep the membership posted regarding
tho tricks of adulterators as much as
possible and thus guard agaiust trou
ble.
The plan on the whole seems to be a
good one. Granted that the retailer
does try to keep in stock none but pure
articles it does seem rather hard that
lie should be made to suffer when ex
amination of his stock starts the mach
inery of the law in operation. How
ever, as the law now stands, the State
authorities have no alternative. They
must prosecute the man in whose
hands the impure goods are found aud
if the latter wants to reach the real
culprit he must pass the suit aloug.
And always to reach manufacturers
aud wholesalers outside of the State it
will be necessary for the Pennsylvania
retailer to buy under a guarantee.
This will make it possible to start
civil suits where pure food laws do
not reaoh.
Charles Battaglia, tho well-known
Italian padrone, is an important per
eouuge in this locality just now where
there is such a demand for hauds.
Mr. Battaglia yesterday stated he
has now one hundred aud fifty of his
countrymen at work in this immediate
vicinity. The largest number are em
ployed on the trolley line and the
State Highway; others are working
for Mr. Rogers on Mi'.l street, while
others are employed by Caldwell,Bar
j ry & Leonard on the river bridge,
112 The most of these Italians are recent
t arrivals in this country. Few have
any idea of the English language nor
of American institutions ; neither will
they be very quick to learn owing to
their clannish habits, which keeps
them out of touch with our native
population.
A certain farmer who lives on the
outskirts of Berwick has been con
templating for a number ot years on
tho powers of the crops. This year his
fruit trees were loaded down and his
fields heavy with grain aud com. Tho
other morning his son was standing'by
his side surveying the bountiful har
vest. "Father," lie said, "How does
this strike you?" The farmer gazed
1 sadly at his son and theu replied "It's
all right my boy,but its most gol deni
ed exhaustive on the ground."
