DEMOCRATIC TRICK FAILS
Reports Affecting Republican Nomi
nee For State Treasurer Are
Promptly Exploded.
[.Special Correspondence. 1
Harrisburg, Aug. 1.
Chairman Wesley It Andrews, of the
Republican state committee, who has
•ntlrely recovered from his recent at
tack of stomach trouble, has written
that ho expet ts to open the headquar
ters in Philadelphia about the rnlddlo
of the month He is taking a briof va
cation at Atlantic City, but even while
there he Is keeping up his correspon
dence with party men throughout Penn
sylvania.
The recent circulation of reports by
the Democrats campaign managers
that J. Lee Plummer, Republican nom
inee for state treasurer, would retire
from the contest hits stirred up the
Republicans of !h Ktate, espet tally the
Republican editors, who are exposing
the source from which these absurd ru
mors emanated.
They have served to arouse enthu
siasm for Mr. Plummer and the entire
Republican ticket among many who
would not otherwise be Interested in
politics at this early stage in the can
vass.
Clean, Capable and Honest
"J Lee Pluinnier is (lean, capable
and honest," says the editor of the
flcranton Tribune. "He has made a
record of which any official may bo
proud. There is no reason why he
■hould not receive the earnest support
of every honest Republican in Pennsyl
vania The Democrats would no doubt
like to have the entire state Republi
can ticket retire "for the good of the
Republican party,' but they will not.
They will remain in the field and be
elected by majorities that will emphat
ically demonstrate ttie sentiment of the
people In the interest of fair play and
good government."
"Mr. Plummer Is the party aominee
for state treasurer, has a good public
record and is altogether an unexcep
tional candidate," remarks the editor
of the Tltusvilie Herald. "Mr. Plum
mer will be elected, as will the whole
Republican ticket, by the customary
off-year majority."
Merits Closest Scrutiny.
"Hon. J l*eo Plummer will not re
sign nor be withdrawn as the candi
date of the Republican party for state
treasurer," says the Ebensburg Moun
taineer "This is positively asserted
by Mr. Plummer and the leaders of the
party in the state. Tills conclusion la
a Just and proper on Mr. Plummer
was regularly nominated by the state
convention, which fairly expressed the
wiil of the party In the state and there
is nothing in his private life or public
career that should make him a victim
of the disclosures affecting the integ
rity and prestige of certain Philadel
phia politicians. On the contrary, Mr.
Plummer. as a public man, can without
fear Invite the closest scrutiny and in
vestigation "
"If Plummer were displaced by an
other man would the protesting Demo
crats then vote the Republican state
ticket?" aska the editor of the Har
rLsburg Telegraph. "They would not.
"Are all the Democrats who do most
talking about the impossibility of re
form within the Republican party and
the necessity for a political revolution
that will land them In oftlce actuated
by unsHflhh motives? We guess not.
"Attacks on J Lee Plummer by the
Democratic enemy reveal only the ene
my's fear of Plun.mcr's succeae "
"There has at no time been any rea
son why Mr Hummer should with
draw," says the Johnstown Tribune.
"As to hi"? party fealty there Is no ques
tion. nor la there any that be waa the
choice of the oublicans in the state
for the nomlr."t on AH to his ability
and hone.:ty in public life no one h;LS
dared to utter a syllable derogatory,
while no man In the service of the state
today has a cleaner record In private
life.
"Just why mi'-h a man should retire
from a politi«.:l battle f:>r tha office of
treasurer f>f 'li- state, or why h« should
h« ackcd to retlr • Is something that
ha* not been enplalned. even by those
who circuited the atorles that such
wan the <■««•* Hh will ntay In the Weld,

will show the fallacy of such tale# "

STUDYING LAW.
The Lawyer'n Oflice Not What It
Once Wan For gluilentn.
Questions roKanllntf the study of law
were sent out recently to inuny law
yers of Illinois bj the T'nlverstty of
IIIIDOIH ami elicited L.UXL replies. From
those It appears that tin- days of study
lug law In a lawyer's office have pass
ed away. Very few t»f the oSices hnvn
any law students at all. Many of the
ablest lawyers expressed the opinion
that study in a law office is an absolute
waste of energy. Nearly all the suc
cessful law Arms declared that they
had no time to devoto to young men
who desired to study law and that such
young men were a nuisance In the of
fice. Tin l only young man they could
use nt all was one who had already
passed his examination for the state
bar and who was willing to work for
nothing for a year or two in order to
get the experience which comes from
a large office. < Hit of the 1,000 replies
only seven favored preparation for the
bar in a lawyer's office.
Another striking result of this inves
tlgatlon is found in the answers to the
questions as to the proper degree of
preliminary education a student should
have before entering the law school. A
majority of the whole number urged
that every one taking up the study of
the law should complete a full college
course. Of the others n majority were
in favor of at least two years in col
lege. There was a practical unanim
ity that the completion of a four years'
high school course was the absolute
minimum which was at all acceptable.
It was the general opinion that, hav
ing once entered the law school, the
young man should give his entire time
to the work of the school and not at
tempt to combine It with work In a
lawyer's office or, indeed, work in any
other place unless that was absolutely
necessary to pay expenses. One law
yer declared that it was a poor school
that could not keep a student busy all
the time, and if a boy found himself In
such a school he ought to leave it for
one which could keep him busy.—Chi
cago News.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
MAIIP I p lour Mind to Seek It neth
er Than Wny For It.
It is a dangerous thing to wait for
opportunities until it becomes a habit.
Energy and Inclination for hard work
ooze out in the waiting. Opportunity
becomes Invisible to those who are do
ing nothing or looking somewhere else
for It. It Is the great worker, the man
who is alert for chances, that sees
them.
Some people become no opportunity
Mind that they cannot soo chances any
where- they would pass tlirough a gold
mine without noticing anything pre
cious—-while others will find opportuni
ties In tho most barren and out of the
way places. Bunyan found opportu
nity In Bedford Jail to write the great
est allegory In the world on the un
twisted paper that had been used to
cork his bottles of milk. A Theodore
Purker or a Lucy Stone sees an oppor
tunity togo to college In a chance to
pick berries. One boy sees an opening
to his ambition In a chance to chop
wood, wait on table or run errands,
where another sees no chance at all.
One sees nn opportunity to get nn edu
cation In tho odds and ends of time,
evenings and half holidays, which an
other throws away.—O. 8. Marden in
Success Magazine.
An Animnl Ometfrf.
In spite of much agitation upon the
subject at various times, lovers of ani
mals have never succeeded In estab
lishing in this country a cemetery as
elaborate as those In several European
capitals.
The largest and most beautiful ani
mal cemetery Is La Necropole Zoolo
ffliiuo. In Paris, or, rather, in the suburb
of Awnieres. Here a large plot of
ground Is laid out for the interment of
dogs and other animals, and here are
erected monuments in every way as
handsome as those over the graves of
human beings In other cities of the
dead.
Borne famous dogs have sculptures to
mark their memories, and dog kennels
In marble are favorite vaults. For
s2.r»o a grave is leased for three years,
and this fee includes the services of a
dog undertaker, uniformed and mount
ed on a tricycle. For!? 100 a grave may
bo leased In perpetuity, and between
these extremes may be found prices to
suit ail purposes. The cemetery occupies
an entire island in the Seine, and,
apart from the rental of graves, the
Company owning tho property makes
a handsome profit out of the sale of
admission tickets to visitors.
The R»ce lie Won.
In the old whaling days a New Bed
ford captain fell in with a lot of his
"townles" in the Pacific, snys the Chi
cago Keeord Ilerald, and after a land
lng for water on the coast of Smith
America, began a boat race oft' shore
toward the ships. The old skipper kept
muttering to his crew to take it easy.
The others Jeerad him as he fell be
hind, but he took It cheerfully.
"The race I'm after Is tho race home,"
he said. lie pointed to a little bigiit in
tho rocks into which the crew could
Just see.
"Ever see that rock In there before?"
he asked. "No, I guess not. That's a
cow whale and her calf up there on tho
shore. It's her nursery."
When the others were fur enough
away to give birn a clear field ho made
for tlie shore. He got the cow and the
calf. The others said very little about
tho race he did not win, for lie was tlie
first man back to New Bedford.

INSURANCE MEN
READY FOR PROBE
CHICAGO, Aug 2. —An inner cot
erie of state insurance commissioners
at the invitation of Commissioners
I'oik ot i'eiiiiessee ami Pre witt of Ken
tucky will bold a secret session in Chi
cago today to discuss reforms among
insurance companies ami incidentally
among their brother officials.
The object will bo first to consider
the Equitable ami next to determine
on some policy that will prevent offio
ers of other insurance companies from
taking the liberties charged to Hyde
and Alexander.
Only such commissioners as could
bo relied implicitly have been invited
to the conference which is preparatory
to the animal conventon to be hold
next month at Benton Woods.
At the caucus today certain reforms
are to be recommended which the sel
ect commissioners hope to put through
at the convention.
Commissioner Folk, of Tennessee,
Host, of Wis onsin, Voris, of Ohio;
Vary, of Michigan; Prewitt, of Ken
tucky; Carroll, of lowa, aud O'Brien,
of Minnesota, are li ire.
If is said that even insurance com
missioners themselves are not snow
white that the reformers are to begin
with them. Commissioner Polk, is a
brother of Governor Folk,of Missouri,
an i lias taken the initiative in the
work. It was lit) who recently sent to
the insurance societies of his state a
list of questions which, under penalty
ot losing license, each company was
required to answer under oath.
One of the most importaut of the
measures to bo advocated is that of an
examining board to be made up of the
commissioners of the several states.
This, in the belief of the reformers
will eliminate the possibility of graft
and be more satisfactory in the end.

Bennington Boiler Was
Old And Rotten
SAN FRANCISCO,APR. 2.-A speci
al to the "Call" from San Diego says:
"From ail oilicial source the reliabil
ity of which cannot be questioned be
cause of its connection with the court
itself, it has just become known what
in substance will be the report of the
court of inquiry now investigating the
Bennington disaster.
"It may be stated authoritatively
that the coutt will find that boiler B
of the Bennington exploded, not be
cause of unu.-ually high pressure, but
because the metal of the crown-sheet
and the holts holding that crown-sheet
in place had become "dead," had lost
all life,and nearly all tensile strength,
by reasou of constant use and the fail
ure to renew the weakened place dur
ing the twenty years that the ill-fated
Bennington was in service.
"The court will not ceusure the
officers of the Bennington, but will
pass up tiie matter, aud the responsi
bility, to bight r authority. "

NEW ORLEANS FEVER
OUTBREAK IS WORSE
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 2.—Willi a
large increase in the number of new
cases (luring the past twenty-four
bourn, the fever situation was not as
favorable today as it bis been, though
the health authorities believe tlm con
finement of the serious infection to the
quarter below Canal street is an en
couraging sign President Soucben
was of the opinion that the intense
heat, followed by a severe rain aud
thunder storm, bringing cooler temp
erature, was to an extent responsible
for the increase in cases.
However, in spite of the most rigid
inspection that has been in effect for
a week past concealed ca>ies among the
Italians are here and there cropping
out, au.i the authorities in conse
quence are appealing to the Italian or
ganizations to redouble their tSorts to
oonvince their countrymen that it is
to their interest and the interest of the
whole city tnat there shall be immedi
ate report of all suspicious cases.
The appearance of two or three cases
yesterday among peisons whoso busi
ness does not cairy them into the in
fected districts down town has given
an impression that the disease is
possibly being carried out of the zone
ofjinfeotion through the medium of
street cars. Two or three of the city
lines cross Canal street, running from
the lower end of the city to the up
per. They come and go through the
section where the fever has boon most
severe, and not improbably are pick
ing up insects and transporting thorn
to other sections.
It has been suggested that the auth
orities take action to prevent all street
cars from crossing Canal street.
A very severe rain and thunder storm
prevailed during the night. Rain fell
in sheets and the whole city was thor
oughly Hushed. At the samo time the
dowupour had an ill effect in that it
caused the washing away of oil from
many miles of gutters aud through
overflows caused hundreds of cisterns
to discharge the oil which had been
put into them.
In consequence the ward organiza
tions today began again oiling gutters
cisterns and ponds which had previous
ly been treated.
Another phase of tho controversy be
tween the States of Louisiana and
Mississippi has developed in the filing
of writs of ejectment and injunction
against the Mississippi militia in the
federal courts. The suit was brought
by Albert Baldwin, banker and capit
alist of this city. Mr. Baldwin f-eeks
to enjoin tha Mississippi soldiers from
taking possession of his fishing and
hunting lodge on Pearl river.
It seems that permission was asked
to occupy the place for the militia 011
guard duty on the border, and it was
refused. It was threatened to break:
open the place if permission was not.
granted. Yesterday they broke into
the lodge, aud Mr. Baldwin decided
to bring suit.
Federal marshals will probably be
sent to the scene. Commander A. B.
Booth, of the United Confederate
Veterans of Louisiana,said today that
quarantines had grown so tight with
the fever prevailing here and other
parts of Louisiana that it would bo
practically an impossibility for more
than a handful of veterans to reach
Lafayette for the annual State reunion
scheduled to bo held there this month.
Geueral Booth expects to be compell
ed to announce a postpouemnet of the
reunion.

Publish the Laws.
Among the things which the Legis
lature failed to do last winter was the
passage of a law providing for the
publication, from session to session, of
the new laws. It was decided in one
of those famous conferences at Har
risburg that the bill should slumber,
ami it slumbers still.
But the people will have something
more to say about the worU of the
next Legislature, and it is practically
certain that provision will be made
for the printing of the new acts of As
sembly in a sufficient, number of news

supposed to obey laws concerning
which thousands of them have no

Summer lours—Niagara Won
derland.
For generations Niagara Falls has
been the great objective point for
tourists in the United States, and de
spite the prophecies of many savantj,
it is likely to continue so for many
more generations.
In early years a Niagara Falls trip
was very expensive,the property ov\n
eis, guides, cihinen, etc., vying as to
who could quickest, drain the pockets
of the tourists. Hut this is all chang
ed, the state of New York 011 the one
siiH and the Province of Ontario en
the other having reserved for Public
Parks the hest situations adjacent to
the Falls, with free admissions and a
low rate of charge for licensed car
riajes being rigidly enforced bv the
Park Commission.
One special expensive trip was the
view of the rapids, but now the Nia
gara Gorge Railroad Co. running a
line of trolley cars on each side of tho
Rapids, affords a fine view of the
whirlpool, etc.
One special ]>oiut of Niagara Falls is
that it does not fall 011 the senses af
ter one view, on the contrary, new
beauties are discernable as often as
visited and many persons assert that
the best of its beauty is not seen un
til the third or fourth visit.
In contradistinction to the old sys
tem of expensive, wearisome travel
ling necessary ro visit Niagara in for
mer years, the Ten Day Ten Dollar
tours by the lloading-Lehigh Valley
route are very noticeable. Special
trains leave Heading Terminal 8:30 a

I RICTION WILL
PREVENT CASES
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—The fact
i« <|uitf) evident that there is friction
between tlie department of justice and
the agricultural department because
jf the mauiier in which the
tion <if the scandals has been carried
on in the la'ter.
The department of justice officials
are miffed, it seems, because tlie agri
cultural department indulged itself in
a pronounced flare of trumpets that
Kuccecded in frightening awav those
whose presence here is absolutely in
dispensable to a successful prosecution
of the charges.
Then, having tied things up in a
knot, it deftly shifted the matter and,
responsibility for same to the depart
ment of justice by demanding crimin
al prosecutions. At least that is the
department of justice view of the
situation.
Assistant Attorney General Mc
lieynolds to whom the case of George
T. Moore has been reforred, is not at
all hopeful that a prosecution will lie.
or that anything more will come of
tlio matter. Nor do his associates
promise themselves any more staitling
results from the grand jury investiga
tion pending in the matter of E. S.
Holmes.
Attorney General Moody is expected
in the city tomorrow, and it is believ
ed'to be his mission to endeavor to es
tablish a more harmonious relationship
between the two departments.
Although it is likely that one, or
possibly two indictments may be re
turned against Holmes unless further
evidence can be adduced than that
wbiciigtiie grand jury has been able to
do, there is serious doubt that Holmes
could bo convicted in trial.
It is understood that thus far the
only direct testimony against Holme*
secured by the grand jury is for brok
er Van Riper, of New York.

Governor Sends Gut Letters.
Governor Hennypacuer nas sent out
in accordance with the law enacted
by the last Legislature letters to the
Governors of the various States asking
them to co-operate in the assembling
of a congress of delegates to draft a
general law governing divorces. The
object of the congress is to fiame a
law which shall correct the divorce
evils so rampant in this country and
to secure the passage of this law in all
the States of the union.
A dispatch received from Trenton,
N. J., says that Governor Penny
packer's letter has been reooiveil by
Governor Stokes, hut that he has tak
en no action as he believes that he
will be unable to accept, the invitation
without authority from the New
Jersey Legislature.
If is estimated that Harri-burg's
fight against last winter's outbreak of
sma'l pox cost f2;5,000. As there wore
about 200 cases the average cost per
case, therefore, fell a trifle short of
SBO.
