PHiilt Itf STATE
IS NOW AN ISSUE
Pennsylvanicns Glory in Record
o! Republicanism.
ECHOES OF HOME WEEK FETES
It Is Predicted That the Vote at the
Coming Election Will Emphasize
Loyalty of Keystone State to Cause
of Protection.
[Special Correspondence.J
Harrisburg, Oct. 5.
Tliere has developed in the present
political campaign in Pennsylvania a
remarkable condition which will un
questionably result in the polling of a
large vote for the nominees of the Re
publican party.
A sentimental phase of the canvas?
which has been the subject of wide
spread comment is the outgrowth ot
"home week" celebrations which have
been held recently at different points
throughout the commonwealth.
It is manifested in an unusual dis
play of state pride, of love for the
grand old commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania and admiration for its traditions
and glorious record.
The home coming of so many former
citizens of the state aj the gathering;
held during the last few months gav<
an opportunity for the people to con
trast conditions in Pennsylvania with
those of other states of the Union.
There were comparisons made which
could not b''t reflect credit upon the
administration of affairs in this state
Upon every hand there were heard
words of commendation of the splen
did administration of Governor Stuart
and of the conduct of the various de
partments of the state government
which do not come directly under the
jurisdiction of the chief executive.
Pennsylvanians Point With Pride.
Pennsyivanians are pointing with
pride to the many wise and useful
measures passed at the last session o'
the legislature, among which may be
noted the strict laws to prevent the
manufacture and sale of adulterated
food stuffs and drugs, and for the
protection of retail dealers from th<
crimes of such manufacturers as vio
late the law, the continued appropria
tion of the magnificent sum of sls.
000.000 for common schools, liberal ap
propriations for hospitals, charities
and public roads, ample provision for
the care of the indigent insane, pro
visions for carrying on with vigor and
effect the fight against tuberculosis,
and the careful and business-like ex
amination and investigation of insti
tutions receiving state aid.
The passage of the "Jones dirt road 1
bill." giving the respective townships 1
a liberal portion of the road tax paid
in cash, and the appropriation for the
payment of the 15 per cent formerly
allowed, has been the subject of favor
able comment in the rural districts.
State Without a Debt.
The fact that Pennsylvania is the
only state in the Union which is prae
tically out of debt has been the sour
of gratification to every citizen of the
commonwealth.
It is also the only state in the Union
which collects no state tax upon real
estate, horses, sheep, cattle, farm in>
plemcnts or other personal property
of any kind save only money at in
te-rest.
These and the many other condition.-"
in the administration of state affair:
commanding general approval are be
ing considered by the voters in the
present political canvass.
A Power In National Congress.
When former Pennsylvanians upon
visits home from other states, particu
larly some of the western states, dis
cussed the recent exhibition of the
power of Penis.vlvania in the national
halls of congress in the shaping of the
tariff legislation, they could not but
speak in terms of admiration of the
work of Senators Penrose and Oliver;
and their Republican colleagues in the j
national house of representatives in
protecting the great industrial inter j
ests of Pennsylvania, in fostering the i
farm and dairy interests, in giving spe
cial safeguards for the tobacco grow
ers of Lancaster and neighboriti"
counties against foreign competition
and in other ways guaranteeing to the
wage earners, capitalists and business
men of the state a condition which it
is predicted will inaugurate an era of
unexampled prosperity.
With Republicans serving the people
with extraordinary fidelity, both in j
state end national offices, the leader' |
of that party find that the candidate-j
nominated by the recent Republican j
state c uvention are meeting with as
surances of loyal support upon every
hand
They are accepted as the represen
tatives of the party which has demon
strated its ability and its purpose to
administer the affairs of the govern
ment in the interest of all of the peo
pie and for the common good.
Pennsylvania, according to all re
ports received here, is going to give
an exhibition of civic pride in the vote
at the coming election which will her
aid to the world the fact that the Key
stone State continues to be the citadel
of Republicanism as well as the home
of protection.
It Went Back.
In one of our old towns, which has
recently been the icene of a pageant,
a party of Americans were being con
ducted over the ancient abbey.
The ages of this part and that were
pointed out by a learned attendant,
and at length, "That arch,"says he,
"may possibly go back to William the
Conqueror."
"Don't you like it?" said a guest
promptly.
The attendant explained that he did
riot understand.
"Doesn't it suit you? Why are yon
•ending it back, anyway?"— London

: of 111 Fated Expedition.
: Professor Donald McMillan of
Worcester. Mass., topographer with
! the Peary expedition, although he did
} not goto the north pole, had, after
I Peary himself, the most interesting ex
t | periences of any of those in the party.
Remains of the expedition under
| Greely during his ill fated attempt to
j find the pole in ISSI to ISS4 were dls
i covered l>y the scientists at Fort Con
; ger, on Lady Franklin bay, in latitude
| 81.44. Canned vegetables, including po
tatoes, hominy and rhubarb; some pem
! ; mican and tea and coffee were diseov
: ered in great quantities.
"They were still food, too," said Pro
fessor McMl'.lcn. "1 know, for I ate
I some of them myscl. Sergeant David
; U. Bralnerd's trurl; was found intact.
; I used it as a shelter in taking my ob
servations to protect me from storms."
i In May, )88:', the Greely party had
j reached 83.24 in north Greenland.
! j They were on their return when the
! winter set in, and t'.ev camped at Fort
j Conger. Here the party became des
| perate and split. Seventeen of the
1 1 twenty-fire members, under Lieuten
ant Kisllngbury, started off alone in
1 an effort to reach civilization. Limited
to nine pounds of baggage and food
each, they were overcome by the ele
i ments, and all perished. The remain
der of the party who remained at Fort
' Conger were rescued by Admiral (then
Lieutenant> W. S. Schley, U. S. N., in
t 1884.
Boy'-* Gift to Explorer Found.
Among the re'ics found at Fort Con
ger were many documents relating to
the expedition. Including records in the
' handwriting of Greely, which had been
I left behind on the arrival of the res
cuing party One of the finds was a
text book, and another was a temper
ance hymn book. Both had belonged to
! Lieutenant lilslingbury. The flyleaf of
the first bore Kisllngbury's name and
was inscribed:
To my dear father, from his affectlon
j ate son, Harry Kisllngbury. May God bo
! with you anil return you safely to us.
Lieutenant Kisllngbury never return
. j ed to his son, who is still living in the
. j west. This book, which, with tho
| hymn book, was shown by Professor
| McMillan, seemed to have been used
j by students of Assumption college,
I Sandwich, Ont,, bearing the names or
} several, with the dates at which they
had used it. The words "llarry Kis
lingbury. Fort Custer, Montana," were
also written on tha flyleaf. Lieuten
ant Ivlslingbury was stationed at Fort
Custer when he received leave of ab
sence to take part in the Greely expe
dition.
The song book bore the dedication:

Were Coat Grcelv Left.
"We found Oreely's coat on the
1 ground near the camp," said Professor
! McMillan. "Here is one of the but*
! i tons." And he produced a gilt button
! Mir from the uniform worn by the ex
( plorer. "The coat was in such a good
i - '.ate of preservation," the professor
| went on, "that I wore It. It served to
| ):eep out the cold too. Between the
, \ pages of an old magazine bearing the
date ISSO 1 found, too, several photo
graphic plates which had been made
I by George B. Rice, official photogra
pher of the expedition. The plates, of
course, were spoiled by their long ex
posure to the elements."
| A bit of grim humor was contained
in the discovery of a batch of "dope
sheets" of the trotting races held in
the United States in 1881. These were
decipherable, and one might still see
1 the marks where the member of the
! party whose interest in racing was
| carried into the arctic had marked Ilia
selections. Yet further Insight Into
j the life of the party during the long
! winter night was furnished by a uote-
I book which contained the draft of a
| speech which was evidently delivered
j at a banquet held during the long peri
od of inactivity. The speech began:
"Chairman and gentiemon thank
God there are no ladies," aud was fill
ed with semi-humorous allusions to va
rious members of the party and their
peculiarities and hobbies. The speaker
said he was sorry to see so few faces,
but added that stress of weather had
prevented many from being present on
'i 'lks most "auspicious occasion,"
Strange Musical Instrument Found,
i That the dreary neriod of waiting
: was uot without other bits of brigbt
i uiss was iudicated by the finding of
an ocarina, a perished musical instru
ment once a favorite with those whose
c: r for music was stronger than their
dc sire l'or harmony. On this instru
ment was inscribed the latitude, 83.24,
! and the date. May 0, 1882.
i Other evidences of the haste with
which the party had abandoned Its
headquarters were articles of wearing
apparel scattered about, bits of gold
braid, fur garments which had been
worn out, sewing outfits, buttons, etc.
Professor McMillan also brought
back souvenirs from camps of polar

M'MILLAN'S NOTED DISCOVERY
Peary Party Member Found Tropic
Fern on Rock Near North Pole.
Professor Donald McMillan, a mem
ber of the I'eary north pole expedition,
has made some important discoveries
tending to prove that the frigid zone
was once hotter than the equator is at
present. He found large numbers of i
vegetable and marine fossils. In a
huge rock split open by frost the per- '
feet imprint of a great tropical fern
was visible. The petrified stump of a
tree eighteen Inches in diameter wns
found, while there were other evi- \
dences of whole forests In a state of

Early Psychotherapy.
In the Epistle of James we find the
early Christian rule of psychotherapy
It was adopted by the early church
and for inary centuries was a rule of
faith and practice in the Christian
church in all Its branches. It is still
a rule of conduct in some of the older
churches, and some leaders in church
es where the rule has lapsed begin to
plead for its revival and for the as
sumption In the church of what are
called its legitimate powers. St. James
said: "is any sick among you, let him
call for the elders of the church, and
let them pray over him, anointing him
with oil In the name of the Lord. And
the prayer of faith shall save the sick,
and the Lord shall raise him up, and
if he have committed sins they shall
be forgiven bim."—Christian Register.

Elsie Ferguson's Great Success In
"Such a Little Queen."
When those much criticised and much
overworked gentlemen, the dramatic
critics, remain to see the last act of a
play on the opening night and then
unanimously agree that a certain ac

hit we may put It down as a fact that
i such is the case. In "Such a Little
Queen," now playing in New York and
soon to tour the country, Elsie Fergu

American stage, and the critics are

REPUBLICAN VICTORY CERTAIN
Representative Citizens of Philadel
phia Will Be Important Factors In
Rolling Up a Big Republican Ma
jority.
[Special Correspondence.]
Philadelphia, Oct 5.
Within the last few days the so
called reform movement in this city
has been given a serious setback and
there is now no doubt that the entire
Republican ticket will be elected by a
large majority.
The business and professional men
of (he community have entered into
the campaign and have lined up sol
idly for the Republican candidates.
Some of the most representative
merchants and manufacturers have
taken the lead in a movement started
by the Republican Business Men's as
sociation and are calling upon all who
desire honest and efficient administra
tion of affairs to support the Republi
can nominees. Not only will they send
out a special appeal to Philadelphians
to vote for these candiiktes, but th%)
are planning for an immense mass
meting, at which prominent men will
make addressee.
Following the action of the mem
bers of this association, there was a
meeting of members of the bar. the
largest meeting of the kind ever held
in this city, at which resolutions were
adopted strongly indorsing Samuel P.
Rotan, the Republican incumbent, for
re-election as district attorney. Over
one thousand lawyers have signed an
indorsement of Mr. Rotan.
Rotan's Election Conceded.
The effect of the aggressive atti
tude of the business men and the
lawyers was shown in the editorial ut
terances of the independent newspa
pers, which have all indorsed the can
didacy of Mr. Rotan. The only news
papers backing Gibboney, who is Mr.
Rotan's apponent. are the Wanamaker
newspapers, with which his political
fortunes have been linked ever since
he entered the game.
The large registration of voters is
explained by the fact that the support
ers of the Republican nominees have
been unusually active in the several
! wards and have succeeded in getting
I a larger number of stalwart Republi
can voters registered than at any time
since the registration law went into
' effect.
While the Gibboney men are making
• claims of strength upon the returns
from the registration, they are not
based upon facts and are part of a j
campaign of misrepresentation that
has been under way since the primar
ies were held.
Mr. Rotan's public call upon the
j men who are charging election frauds
| to submit their evidence that the bal
| lot boxes might be opened. has not 1
j been answered, and that issue has j
j ceased to be a factor in the campaign, j
The candidates on the state ticket j
I have been receiving ovations wher j
ever they have gone. They spent last I
| week in the northeastern tier and in j
S Mifflin. Union and Snyder counties, j
j They are booked for the opening rally |
j of the campaign in this city tonight. i,
i and tomorrow night they are invited
i to attend the reception to be tendered j
| Senator Penrose by the Workingmen's :
! Protective Tariff League.
Party Lines Are Drawn.
The opposition to the Republican |
nominees in the state campaign is al>- |
solutely confined to the old-time Dem I
ocracy. The lines are sharply drawn !
and Republicans and Democrats are j
I iallying about the standards of their |
j respective parties. There is not a I
trace of factionalism within the Re I
publican organization. The lines are i
unbroken and the stalwart Republican !
hosts will march to the polls in solid j
phalanx on Nov. 2 and vote the full (
party ticket.
Judge Robert von Moschzisker, nom j
inee for justice of the supreme court; I
Senator A. E. Sisson, candidate for |
auditor general, and former Senator :
Jeremiah A. Stober. the party's choice |
for state treasurer, are all men of high j
standing and command the respect of I
all who know them.
While the election of all of them is I
conceded, there is a demand from ]
those who have studied the situation 1
i from a broad standpoint for the exer
else of special vigilance to guard
against the dangers of over-confidence
or indifference in the matter of getting
I out the party vote,
j While this is what ordinarily would
be classed as "an off year." it is, in
fact, a very important year in the po
litical history of Pennsylvania.
With the tariff revisionists already (
opening their campaign to carry a ma [
jority of th" next congress, even if i< ]
shall be necessary to do so with the
aid of Democratic votes, it behooves j
< Republicans, who believe that the
present tariff is going to greatly ben
efit all branches of industry, to by
their votes enter an early protest
against any and all schemes to reopen
the tariff discussion, with the destrut
tion of business interests that would
inevitably follow.

ther gave her that new gold watch?"

GIRL'S HUGE ESTATE
Miss Mary Harriman Personally
Manages 33,000 Acre Farm.
j DAIRY HAS HER SPECIAL CARE
I With Three Hundred and fifty Regis
| tered Cows, It Already Is a Paying
| Concern—Directs Work With Char
| acteristic Enerjjy and Skill—Likely
I -to Become Greatest Woman Farmer.
When an arrangement for the man
agement of the late Edward E. Hani
man estate has been completed Miss
Mary Ilarriman, the dead railroad
magnate's eldest unmarried child, will
become the greatest woman farmer iu
the United States, if not in the world.
She now virtually has control of Ar
den farm, consisting of 20,000 acres.
Close by Arden, N. Y„ her father
quietly acquired beforo his death other
tracts amounting to 19,000 acres. The
exact locations of these tracts is not
now publicly known, as title to them
passed in the name of a corporation
with which Mr. Ilarriman was not
known to have been connected. For
reasons of their own members of the
family do not care at this time to re
veal the holdings. This information,
however, will necessarl.v be made pub
lic with the appraisal of the estate. '
There are now under actual cultiva
tion at Arden approximately 3,000
acres. The bulk of the huge farm is
waste land. Most of this, or about
12,000 acres, will be donated by Mrs.
Ilarriman. as was the wish of her hus
band, to the slate of New York for a
great public park.
Park Lands Heavily Wooded.
These acres are heavily wooded and
contain several lakes of marked nat
ural beauty. This will leave Miss
Mary Harriman at Arden alone a farm
of 14,000 acres to care for. Altogether
she will have supervision of a farm of
33,000 acres.
Already she has taken hold of the
task with characteristic Harriman en
ergy and skilL She Is directing per
