FINE WORK FOR ROOSEVELT The Democrats Are at a Loss For Ammunition and Many Are Mak ing Little Show of Fighting. Pennsylvania editors continue their effective work in the canipain for Roosevelt and Fairbanits, and they ar9 not leaving the Democrats any ground to stand upon in the contest in which th<» minority party Is so heavily han dicapped. There has been a constant and scathing fire from the Republican batteries, and in many cases the Demo crats have not even dared to respond. Here are a few of the latest shots at the opposition: Vote For Republican Congressmen. Suppose that the present Republican house of representatives should give place to a Democratic majority and John Sharp Williams should become speaker of the house, who would most likely displace Mr. Sereno E. Payne as chairman of the ways and means committee? Possibly Bourke Cockran. Possibly Champ Clark. Possibly and probably some southern Democrat who has always been and always will be a free trader in spite of Mr. Clark's declaration that the Democratic party never was and never will be a free trade party. To prevent any such a possibility vote for your Republican congres sional candidate. Williamsport Ga zette and Bulletin. A Party Without Sense. The Democratic party, as a party, has no sense. It never had. For eight years it has putin its time predicting things any sane man knows could never come to pass. The Democratic campaign keynote has become a yawp Instead of a promise. It is facing a prosperous country once more with all of its predictions discredited and not a single principle on which to ap peal for votes. The reason the voters are not interested in this campaign is because the Democrats have nothing of interest to offer. —Northeast (Erie Co.) Breeze. Democrats Are Unhappy. The Democratic campaign is not many weeks old. but that it has been unsatisfactory from the Parker point of view is evident. Ther* have been three changes In the important post of commander-in-chief. Taggart was elected to the office of national chair man; Belmont, with Parker's conni vance, took the power out of Tag gart's hands, and now the astute and unscrupulous Gorman succeeds Bel mont as the virtual leader of the cam paign.—Meadvllle Tribune Republican. Tariff the Supreme Issue. A good many important questions are to be considered in the national campaign, but protection to American Industry is still paramount. When the Democratic platform, adopted at St. Louis, declared that "protection is robbery," it made the tariff the su preme issue of the campaign.—Scran- ton Truth. A Timely Warning.

The strongest argument the Repub licans have in the present campaign is their appeal to the business inter ests of the country. There is really little.

PRELIMINARY HEARING [Continued from First Page. | pany's property and after being struck by a tie. Amnion Keiser, an operator at the D. L. & W. station,testified to finding the key hole of his station door plug ged with cinder and having to enter through a window. He gave 110 new testimony except that he admitted that the engine of the Scranton train was waved back with red lights before ties were placed in front of it. Diiuiel Blizazrd, a section foreman, who was next called, testified as the others did and added liis own experi ence of hitting a man when the ties were being thrown and in turn being hit. For a while after that he was ob livious to what transpired. 011 cross examination he professed ignorance of a car of pick handles being on the train trom Scranton and a load of Italians figuring in the case, and in response to a direct question said he received no order that night to remcve an ob struction from the track, but was sup posed to work without an order. Dennis '^iueen,another section fore man, gave his version of the frog-iay ing. J. E. Adamsou, chief special agent of the D. L.it W.,told of arriving on the Scrauton train and signalling the engine togo ahead to the crossing at Mill street at the time ties were being placed 00 the rails by citizens and workmen. In the course of his testi mony it developed, 011 cross examina tion, what a difficult matter the serv ing of the injunction on the railroad people was,the man who tried to serve it being thrown from the engine. The witness, replying to question, said there was too much noise for him to hear instructions given the wan to serve the injunction. He denied any knowledge of an attempt to throw Mr. Pascoe over a safety gate. After tell ing of tli3 running forward of the en gine to stop the work on the frog he replied to Mr. Scarlet's question as to the danger of muning into the crowd and whether he would have stopped the engiue by saying: "I don't know what I would have dono." "That's a very good answer," the attorney re plied. E. M. Rine, division superintend ent, told of the railroad men having acted under his orders ami like the other witnesses gave an account of the happenings of the night of the twenty second. Asked if the engine was tak en from the track as soon as the in junction was served, he said it was 011 the track from 3:55 to 5:80 a m. He denied trying to throw Mr. Pascoe ov er the safety gates and said: "No, I did not strike him, I'm a gentleman." The witness told of Mr. Pascoo's men lowering a joint that was necessary to be put down before tlie engine couH leave the crossing. The engine was uuder Mr. Rine's order to run ou the crossing, the order being givtn at mid night. He denied knowing th it trains later rail over the crossing at unusual speed to knock out the frog and said he gave an order to have tin 111 go as usual when told they were going too fast. Division Engineer Ray next took the stand and explained maps and plans for overhead crossings by Mill streit, Perry street or an alley route and gave j figures to show that from an engineer ing stand po:nt the overhead crossing was possible, although Attorney Scar- ' let clearly set forth what the blocking up of 008 feet of Danville's uiaiu street j would mean and showed that even the ! turning of a load of hay :u a thorough ! faro tiius obstructed would be a com- ] plicated process. Citizens would be i inconvenienced by the inability to get . off at store entrnttces and oue of the j routes proposed would run directly I through the vaults of tiie First Na- j tional bank. The track would have an elevation ot 18 feet and the curs would have togo down a sttep grade and strike the Bloom street track nearly at right angles, which the attorneys for the trolley people contend would be more dangerous than a grade cross- j ing with guard gates and a watchman, j Attorney Scarlet objected to the at tempt to show that another route than the Mill street one could be used. However, when Attorney Hinckley called on experts for testimony they favored the Ferry street line. En gineer Baker of New York,a projector of several elevated roads, and Thomas ' A. Wright, of Wilkesbarre, general superintendent of the Wilkesbarre Mountain Valley Traction Company, gave expert testimony to the effect that so far as engineering work goes the overhead crossing is possible. Mr. Wright gave as a rough estimate $14,- 000 for tho cost of the construction of an overhead crossing, not accounting for right of way or incidentals. Improving Foust Brewery.

FAITH IN EYE STONES FOREIGNLRS USE THEM TO REMOVE SPECKS FROM THE EYE. The Way the StoneH Travel and Do Their CleaiiNliiK Work—They Are t'nleareouw Coin-ret IOIIM a nil Are Obtained From the Crawfish. The druggist was examining a dozen small objects that looked like tiny brown and white agate marbles split lu half when one of the men who had bought cigars asked hint what they were. "They are eye stones," said the drug gist, with a smile. "Great Scott!" cried the man who WHS supporting the cigar case. "L>o you mean to say that you keep those things?" "Yes," said the druggist, and there was a note of sadness in his voice; "we keep them. We keep tliem because we can't sell them. "In h store like this,"he continued after a moment's collection, "there Isn't much demand for them, but In a place where foreigners form the majority of the customers these stones, like leeches, sell like liot cakes. If you get some thing in your eye you monkey with it for awhile, and tlien If it won't come out you goto an oculist. That's the way it is with most people nowadays, but the foreign born residents—the Italians, the Hungarians, the Slavs and Poles and some of the others—have so much faith in the virtue of these stones they hie themselves to drug stores and get eye stones. "You know and I know that in these stones themselves there Is no life, but you can't convince some of these for eigners of that fact. They insist that because the stones 'travel around' in a person's eye, or, rather, under a per son's eyelid, they 'must have life.* It is true that if a man—or a woman, for that matter—puts an eye stone un der his or her eyelid it will 'travel,' but that is not because there is any life in these things. It Is due entirely to the action of the eye. As the eye turns it moves the stone, and it is that which makes it 'travel.' When you put one of these things into your eye the stone becomes sticky from the moisture, and as it 'travels' It brushes against any thing that may be on the eyeball. Now, If this foreign substance Is a si>ock of dust or something that isn't embedded in the ball it will adhere to the sticky stone and coiue out with It. "With some of these foreigners there Is nothing that is more serious than the getting of something in their eyes and the using of these stones. It is all very solemn to them. They seem to think that they cannot use these stones un less they goto bed and tie up their heads. As soon as one of them puts an eye stone under Ills eyelid he places a lot of bandages over his eye and lies down. If the stone behaves as any self respecting eye stone should behave, it 'travels' about the eyeball, making a complete circuit, and works its way out, and if it does its work in the prop er way it brings with It whatever may have been in the eye unless, as I said before, the substance Is imbedded there, as small pieces of steel often are. In that case the stone won't budge it, but that fact doesn't shake the confidence of some of these foreigners. If it means anything to them, it is simply the fact thut the stone is 'no good,' and that is generally taken as proof that the drug gist who sold it Is a 'skin.' "There is no doubt that in many eases these stones do all that Is expect ed of them, but few persons aside from the foreigners fool with them, because there are other and quicker ways of getting rid of whatever there may be In one's eyes. It usually takes a long time for one of these stones to get around an eye, and, while It doesn't hurt to have It there, the troublesome speck remains on the ball and keeps up Its fine work all the time that you are waiting for the eye stone to do its stunt. As a general thing, it is a simple mat ter to remove any foreign substance from a person's eye. If you catch hold of the eyelash and draw the lid down and out and then roll the eye, it's dol lars to doughnuts that you will soon be rid of the pain producing atom, and if that fails it is j_' in ■.■ ally easy to re move the speck with the corner of a handkerchief. If that doesn't work, any eye ston i n'l ! : • I> :-he of much use, and in such a<■ •• w • person will goto an oruli-i 112 ■ J I tut some of the fn.-.-'-ri ■ \ :i - ! do that until they have ;:, .i u * . !y ..tie but Several eye stone-;. . ■ • 1 I said before, if the 'h!;i it is the druggist and :i I • that are to blame."

Ho got out of patience one Sunday when the missing button had made him late for parade and exclaimed: "Bother the woman! I'll see if I can't give her a hint this time any how." He then took the lid of n tin black ing box about three inches In diameter, drilled two holes in it with a fork and sewed it onto the neck of the shirt that was next to be washed.

If he was a novice at loveuiaking he was certainly no novice at chess, and he soon had the fair maid hopelessly beaten. "Ah!" he exclaimed as he put her In a hopeless corner. "You're In a tight corner now, Miss Mabel." She looked at hlni with those beauti ful eyes of hers and then said: "I hadn't noiieed any compression, George. Ilnvo I no escape?"

An absurd and reprehensibly destruc tive practice is the building of fires be neath a tree "In order to get the draft," says a writer lu the Rpringfleld Repub lican. The fools that do this kill great trees for nothing but a campflre. There is no sense In that wretched practice. A tire for camp cooking should be built in the open, and nothing is easier. A bare rock is the best place, and if you are to cook by it put up a barrier of loose stone Just extensive enough to make a fire as large as a kitchen stove would hold, put a flat stone over these walls, and you have all you want. You can fry bacon and your corn cakes and boil your coffee on that stone. This is as good for winter as for summer. And if you want a hot old campflre clear a space of all combustibles and begin small, gradually adding a stick or two, and the heat beneath will soon grow so strong that you can keep it up fora» many hours as you please.

In "Human Hearts" he has constructed a play that will never grow old. The theme of the play is Hope,aud has not some author written, "Hope springs eternal in the human breast?" Hope, the one bright ray of sunshine, that breaks through aad illumines the clouds of despair that almost over whelms poor Tom Logan. The hope of a good, pare woman's love; the hope of brighter, better days; the hope of an honest man, unjustly accused of crime, that the criminal will ba de tected and his good name restored.

QUO WARRANTO PROCEEDINGS Argument was heard before Deputy Attorney General Fleitz yesterday on the petition of the Danville and Sun bury Street Railway Co. for a writ of quo warranto directed against the Danville and Riverside Street Hail way Company and the Danville and Bloomsburg Street Railway Company, requiring the latter to show cause why thf*y should not be dispossessed of their charter rights. A decision is not expected for some days. Both the petitioning and respondent companies wers chartered under the Focht street railway act of 1901. The Danville and Snubury Company allege that the Danville and Riverside com pany never attempted to exercise any of their charter rights, nor to make use of the provisions of the franchise granted them by the borough of Blooms burg. They also claim that the original charter was defective in that it con tained a clause permitting the Dan ville and Sunbury Company to use 2,500 feet of the route of the Berwick and Bloouisburg Street Railway Com pany, which clause the Supreme Court lias declared to be unconstitutional. Tiie Danville and Bloomsburg Com pany sets up the defence that because of the unconstitutionality of this clause they were justified iu getting out a charter for the same route before the required two year limit had expir ed. The Danville and Sunbury Com pany secured their charter after the expiration of the two year limit. The suit means much to street rail way interests iu general, and involves about 1250,000 already expended by the Danville and Bloomsburg Company whose line between Dauville and Bloomsburg was only opened for travel this week.—Harrisburg Patriot. The Danville and Bloomsburg Com pany were represented by Hon. Grant Herring of Bloomsburg,Ex-Judge KOTII of Reading and James Scarlet, E q . of this city.

A., Attorney General Moody said: "Everywhere that the Young Men's Christian Association has come Into rivalry with the saloon the latter lias been worsted and the people of Lynn can make no better investment in be half of the young men of the city than to give liberally toward the fund for the erection of the proposed structure. Many of you will remember that I was once prosecuting officer of Essex county, and as such I probably knew 1 more about the trials and temptations of our young men than auy of you, and I tell you that you will find the costliest Young Men's Christian As sociation building that you can erect for your young men, where they will be brought under good influences, cheaper to support than a courthouse and district attorney. God has given some men a taot or indefinable some thing which enables them to accumu late wealth, and this money is giveu them for a purpose—to help their ♦el low men—and in the Y. M. C. A. there is the grandest of opportunities for using money." Will Never Work Again.
