HE HELPED FCRSI PARTY Control of Movement by Bryan Demo crats Too Much For Independent Republicans. A series of desertions from the Key- Stone Party last week greatly embar rassed the Berry campaigners. The trouble was due to the fact that the coterie of Bryan Democrats who have captured the Independent organi zation persist in Indorsing Democrats for congress and the legislature. This Is resented by Independent Rapubii cans, few of whom have any heart In the movement since a Democrat, Berry, was put at the head of their ticket. The most sensational break from the Berry forces was the resignation Of former State Treasurer John O. Sheatz, who was one of the organis ers of the Keystone Party and was chairman of Its first committee on or ganization. Sheatz wanted an independent Re publican named for governor by the Keystone Party. He took an active part In the convention, but he and his associates were defeated by the Demo cratic combination headed by Eugene C. Bonniwell, who landed Berry at the head of the ticket. Then they put up Casey and Scully for secretary of Internal affairs and state treasurer re spectively, leaving but one independ ent Republican, Glbboney, on the ticket. He is supposed to be running for lieutenant governor. Too Much Democracy. Following up their victory in the convention the Berryites have indors ed a big batch of Democrats for con gress In resigning from the Keystone county committee of Montgomery, Charles Hober Clark, who was a prominent delegate in the Keystone Party's state convention, wrote a scathing letter In denunciation of the indorsement of Diffenderfer, Democrat, for congress on the Keystone ticket, in which, among other things, he says: "1 will never permit myself to be used for the undermining of the na tional house of representatives of that protective tariff system which, In ray judgment, is of vital importance to the weilare, not only of wage- earners, but of ail the people of the land. I ana confident that the election of a majority of Democrats, or even a ma jority of fanatical tariff revisionists, to the next congress will produce widespread depression of business and millet hurt upon multitudes of in nocent people. My bands shall be free from the guilt if helping to pro duce that great < ai«r>i!ty." On the following day, former State Treasurer Sheet/ sent a letter to State Chairman Thomas L. Hicks request ing that his name be taken from the list of the committee Mr Piieatz u. commenting upon his action «iid he resigned because he is « Republican He found that his business- associates In Philadelphia, members of the Manufacturers' club, the I'nlon League and other organiza tions, are virtually aii going to vote for John K. Toner for governor and the full Republican ticket Many Inde pendents who started out with tne Keystone Party when Mr Sheatz was temporary chairman of the state com mittee of the Keystone Party and for mally opened the state convention, have since cc-me out for Tcnc-r for gov ernor Former Congressman H B Parker, of Tioga, who was earned op the Key stone Party state committee was Bir.cEg the first to decline the appoint, ment He is a Republican who cannot stand for the Berry-Bcnnlweli Demo cratic outfit The Berry movement Is practically without organization.

SOUND WARNING TO WAGE EARNERS What Dsfsccrstic Victory Would M22ii to Pennsyinanians. VAST INTERESTS LI STAKE Prosperity Under Protection and Dis tress and Free Soup Houses Under Cleveland Regime. A boastful and blatant Democracy throughout tiie country Is not on.y de claring that the next house o con gress will be Democratic, bv.'„ !"-e dieting that the successor to .*■ ident Taft will be a Democrat. Late election returns have unques tionably given the Democrats great encouragement, and reports from cer tain states until recently reliably Re publican put the result in November in douht. Thoughtful men. while dreading the outcome, are at a loss to understand how the great American people could return to power a party which has caused so much misfortune and distress, both to tho business in terests and the wage-earners of the Union. It haa only been within the last few weekß that the citizens of Pennsyl vania have apparently begun to real ize the serious nature of the situation, and there are evidences upon every hand that the voters of the Keystone State will not bo oarrled away with the tide of heresy and fanaticism that is sweeping over tbe country. Warnings are going out In every direction that Pennsylvania must stand firm; that this bulwark of Re publicanism must remain unshaken and that every vote must be polled, so that the election returns shall sound a trumpet blast to the world that the sane and sober citizenship of the Keystone State has rallied again around the banner of true Republican ism and protection. Pennsylvania as the foremost indus trial stato has more at stake than any other commonwealth, and her vast army of wage-earners, the workers in the mills and the mines, realize the interest each and every one of them has in a continuance of Republican domination of the affairs of tbe state and the nation. A Pennsylvania Tariff. The tariff is more of a vital issue today than It has been at any time In the last decade. The tariff act recently framed and now in force were drafted with partic ular reference to the fostering of Pennsylvania interests, with Senators Penrose and Oliver and a united Penn sylvania Republican delegation un flinchingly adhering to the policy of protecting the business and industrial enterprises of their home state, until the bill becamo a law with these in terests all protected. If this tariff, with the few minor changes proposed, shall be allowed to stand. Pennsylvania wage-earners and Pennsylvania capitalists can look for ward to an unprecedented period of prosperity. But the advance agents of business demoralization, of dosed mills and mines and of shut down factories and workshops of every description are abroad in every state. They are preaching Democracy and disseminat lng false and misleading doctrines, and especially are they holding out false hopes to the workingmen, upon whom they count to swing the elec tions in every debatable district. To the Democratic politicians they are holding out promises of postmaster ships and other fedeial patronage. Tbey make no mention of the sor rows and sadness that followed the last national Democratic triumph in this countrx. They do not tell of tbe popular distress and tha destruction of manufacturing, commercial and all other lines of business brought about througli the enactment of tho Demo cratic tariff bill. They show no pictures of the free soup houser that had to be established by charitable individuals and.in some cases by municipalities where thou sands of men women and children were out of employment for many months, many of them in a starving condition, children without shoes or clothing, and families evicted for non payment of rent. Pennsylvania voters will be called upon at the coming election to send men to congress who will stand by the Taft administration and resist every effort to change or amend the tariff, especially those provisions Inserted to protect Pennsylvania capital and Pennsylvania wage-earners Elect Republicans tc Congress. Pennsylvania must elect Republican congressmen to block the schemes of the Democrats, who will without doubt be sent from many doubtful districts in other states. Pennsylvania must, by the size of her Republican majority for John K Tener, nominee lor governor, and his colleagues on the Republican state ticket, emphasize the l'ealtv of this state to the cause of Republicanism end tne loyalty of tne Republican* or tbe state to the national administra tion. Should the Democrats be successful in November In electing a majority of the members ui t!io neirt national house of representatives, a disastrous period of two years to tbe mercantile end manufacturing Interests would in evitably ensue, and If this period be followed by the election of a Demo cratic president a calamity would be fall the country far greater than was experienced following the last Demo cratic presidential victory. Warnings now going out to wage earners from the most intelligent of the men affiliated with labor organiza tions point out that now is the time to avert the disaster. Business men, appreciating the com mercial and Industrial heights this country has reached during the last twelve years, and the scope and mag nitude of our foreign trade, demand that Pennsylvania shall remain stead fast to the cause of Republicanism for their own protection and the safety and salvation cf the millions of citi zens of this prosperous commonwealth. Pennsylvania, the Gibraltar of na tional Republicanism, it is predicted, will roll up a tremendous Republican majority on N'ev 8 and will send prac- j tlcally a solid Republican delegation J to congress MARK TWAIN'S CLOTHES. The Great Humorist Always Had • Relish For Personal Effect. At the time of our first meeting Mark Twain was wearing a sealskin roat, with the fur out, in the satis faction of a caprice or the love of strong effect which he was apt to in dulge through life. Fields, the publish er, was present I do not know what droll comment was in Fields' mind with respect to this garment, but probably he felt that here was an original who was not to bo brought to any Bostonian book in the Judgment of his vivid qualities. With his crest of dense red hair and the wide sweep of his flam ing mustache Clemens was not dis cordantly clothed in that sealskin coat, which afterward, in spite of his own warmth in it, sent the cold chills through me when I once accompanied it down Broadway, and shared the immense publicity it won him. Clemens had always a relish for per sonal effect, which expressed itself in the white suit of complete serge which j he wore in his last years and in the j Oxford gown which lie put on for> every possible occasion and said he' would like to wear nil the time. Thnt [ was not vanity in him. but a keen feel-1 lng for costume which the severity of our modern tailoring forbids men, though It flatters women to every ex cess in it.—'W. P.

The Cow Decided. A peasant living in the village of Predeal, near the Hungarian frontier, lost his cow. About two months ago ■ he happened to be standing at the | railroad station watching a train load ' of cattle auout to be sent across the I frontier. Suddenly he gave u shout. > "That's my cow!" he cried, running! toward one of the cars. The trainmen only laughed at him, and he went before the magistrate, j This good man listened to tiie peas- j ant's story patiently. Then he pro nounced this judgment: "The cow shall j be taken to the public square of Pre- j deal and milked. Then if it goes of its ' own accord to the plaintiff's stable it 1 shall belong to him." The order of the court was carried j out. and the cow, in spite of its ten ' mouths' absence, took without hesita- j tion the lane which led it a few min- j utes later into the peasant's stable.— 1 Chicago News.

HIRED APPLAUSE. Th» Great Rachel Made the Claqua Earn Its Money- Speaking of applause In theaters, a theatrical man relates the following concerning the great actress Rachel: "It seems that upon a certain open ing night Rachel received enthusiastic applause, hut on the second night it WHS BO noticeably slim that the actress felt deeply grieved and bitterly com plained that the claque was not doing Its duty. The leader of the hired 'ap p'-u'.se makers' on hearing of her dls pli-nsure wrote her a letter in which he endeavored to excuse himself from any blame. " 'Mademoiselle—l cannot remain un der the obloquy of a reproach from such Hps as yours,' ho began. 'The following is an authentic statement of what really took place: At the first representation I led the attack in per son not less than thirty-three times. We had three acclamations, four hilar ities. two thrilling movements, four renewals of applause and two indefi nite explosions. In fact, to such an extent did we carry our applause that the occupants of the stalls were scan dalized and cried out a la porte! " 'My men were positively exhausted with fatigue and even Intimated to mo th:it t hey could not ngaln go through such an evening. Seeing such to be the case, I applied for the manuscript, and after having profoundly studied the piece I was obliged to make up my inind for the second representation to certain curtailments in the service of my men.' "The writer thus goes on at some length to assure the actress he will try to make future amends and re quests her to believe In his profound admiration."—Exchange. TALKING IN FIGURES. Significance of Certain Numbers In the Telegraphers' Code. "In the telegraphers' code numbers have special significance of which the general public is not aware," remarked a veteran key night the other day. "Most everybody knows that 30 means 'good night,' or the end of a story, but few outside the profession know that 31 is also a code sign. Rail road operators, however, know that this call is a signal to the operator at the other end to come back and repeat train signals to the sending operator. It also has another meaning, 'Train order to be signed by conductor and engine driver.' Nineteen, on the other hand, means that the train order is not to be signed by conductor or engine driver. Twenty-four has also the lat ter significance on some roads. "Five is simply an interrogation point and in the vernacular could bo translated 'Anything doing?' Thirteen si, nitles 'Do you understand?' Twen ty :ive means 'busy,' but nobody seems to know how it came to have that slg i nificance unless perhaps it means that ; the operator Is still in the midst of his work, beiag some distance away from ! 30. "Seventy-three means 'best regards,' | and newspaper men and operators em ploy this expression constantly. Of i course 23 has come to mean in this numerical language just what it does in ordinary parlance, 'skiddoo,' 'va moose' or 'butt out' or any of thethou ' sand and one other equivalents."—New I York Herald. The Governor's Quick Wit. ! While talking to a former governor i of Illinois, who was noted for the quickness of his wit. an I'nglish tour ist spoke with special fervor of a sight he had seen iu another state. "I attended a Sunday service for ' the inmates of the state prison," he , said, "and I learned that of the 20S ; persons now confined there all but twelve voluntarily attend religious , services held in the prison chapel twice each Sunday." "Most extraordinary." said the gov ernor musingly. "I am sorry to say it is not so with us. Hut then," he add ed soberly. "In Illinois, you see. most i of the respectable people do not come to prison."—Lippincott's. A Misplaced Title. Among obvious misnomers one Lon don theater is to be found.

Among common animals few have been less studied in their life history than the mole. An English natural ist, Mr. Lionel E. Adams, says that under the "fortress" which the mole constructs above the surface of the ground will always be found a series of tunnels ruuning out beneath the adjacent field. A curious feature al most Invariably found Is a perpendic ular run penetrating about a foot be low the bottom of the nest and then turning upward to meet another run. 1 A mole is never found in his nest, al though it may be yet warm from his body when opened. Guided by smell and hearing, a mole frequently locates the nest of a partridge or pheasant above his run and, penetrating It from below, eats the eggs. The adult mole is practically blind, but there are em j bryonic Indications that the power of i sight in the race has deteriorated. WIGS AND BhMnUS.
