(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Harrisburg, July 19.—Revelations of
crookedness among followers of the
Quay machine come to light with start-
ling rapidity. The latest came to the
surface last week in the exposure of a
Job to rob the taxpayers through a
discredited “Bird Book’ scheme.
It will be remembered that one of the
principal scandals of the present year
at Harrisburg was the exposure of an
attempt to secure about $53,000 of the
people’s money by the republication of
another costly edition of the now no-
torious “Bird Book.” The bill as it
originally passed the legislature was
harmless enough in itself. It provided
for the publication by the state printer
of a sort of pamphlet on the subject
of poultry and the enemies of poultry.
When the work was about ready for
publication it was discovered to be a
gorgeous volume, replete with many
colored engravings, and which, when
finished, would cost the state not less
than the enormous sum above stated.
It was only the action of the gov-
ernor, prompt and decisive, that halted
the job. Now a companion piece of
knavery pops out. It was evolved by
one who wanted to work up the plates
cf the discredited Bird Book job.
The State college at Bellefonte is a
most worthy and excellent institution.
It has a large and well paid corps of
instructors. Dr. George W. Atherton
is the president of the college. Dr.
Atherton is a gentleman of learning
and executive ability. It is to be re-
gretted that the college has been made
the victim of the schemers’ plots. But
ft has, and the result will be that the
friends of the college must be prepared
to hear it denounced, even though it is
innocent
It is the custom of the institution to
issue a catalogue every year. The
catalogue is unusually a nicely bound
pamphlet, which discusses the progress
of the experiment station and: other
branches of its special work. Taking
advantage of these well known facts,
the schemers in Harrisburg decided to
work into the State college catalogue
a lot of stuff about poultry, birds and
mammals, and brownstone.
ter is the most interesting part of the
exposure.
Just what brownstone has to do with
the State college of Pennsylvania is not
made clear, even in the catalogue.
There is not a vast amount of brown-
stone in this state, and the people who
started to advertise it in the State col-
lege catalogue took good care to see
that the name of the firm owning the
quarries in question was conspicuously
placed in the catalogue, so that any
person desiring to purchase this par-
ticular style of building stone would
not be at any loss to know where to
write for information. Thus the
schemers, part of the same old gang
on the hill at Harrisburg, tried to turn
the catalogue of this state institution
Into a cold blooded advertising scheme.
For this it was proposed to make the
people pay something like $16,000.
There are guilty parties in this trans-
action, There was collusion c¢n the
part of some one, and that guilty one
will yet be brought to account. It will
have to be explained how the person
engaged by the college to prepare the
annual catalogue of that institution
managed to let the old “Bird Book”
gang get the costly cuts and highly col-
ored , plates into the catalogue. How
the catalogue was deliberately turned
into an advertising scheme for a firm
of brownstone dealers. To the lasting
credit of the president, Dr. George W.
Atherton, he promptly and emphatical-
ly denied any knowledge of the affair.
Nobody acquainted with Dr. Ather-
ton would, for an instant, believe him
to have knowledge of any such affair
without exposing it.
mains that some one had guilty knowl-
edge of the transaction.
The above sufficiently demonstrates
that no matter what precautions are
taken the ‘gang’ is always on the
lookout to fleece the people. As fast
as one exposure is made another fol-
lows. There is but one way to end this
systematic robbery of the people, and |
that is to turn the rascals out. The
whole brood must go. The treasury
looters and salary grabbers, along with
the schemers who try to work in their
discredited jobs, costing thousands of
dollars, where no one suspects it.
And the time is coming when the ras-
zals will be turned out.

The Times has a larger circulation by
many thousands than any other daily
newspaper published in Pittsburg. This
is admitted even by its competitors.
The reasons for it are not hard to find.
The Times is a tireless newsgatherer, is
edited with extreme care, spares no ex-
pense to entertain and inform its read-
ers. It prints all the news in compact
shape, caring always more for quality
than quantity, It keeps its columns
clean, but at the same time bright.
Nothing that is of human interest is
overlooked by it. Tt aims tobe reliable
rather than sensational. It believes in
the gospel of get there,but it gets there
with due respect for the facts. Test
any department of it you choose—pe-
litical, religious, markets, sporting, edi-
torial, society, near town news—and
vou’ll find the Times may be depended
ss upon. $3 a year, 6 cents a week.

The Scientific American Navy Sup-
plement.
The Scientific American, which has al-
ways been identified itself very closely
with the interests of the Navy, is to be
congratulated on the extremely hand-
some and valuable “Navy Supplement”
which it has lately put before the pub-
lic. We think that, if the average read-
er had been asked beforehand what
kind of a work he would prefer upon
the Navy, he would have asked for just
such an issue as this.
Both the illustrations and the read-
ing matter are of the straightforward
explanatory kind which is necessary to
put,a technical .subject clearly before
the lay mind. It was a happy thought
to preface the work with a chapter up-
sert a few diagrams by way of explana-
tion of the subtle differences between
cruisers, monitors and battleships; for
after digesting this chapter one is pre-
pared to follow intelligently the detail-
ed descriptions of the various ships
which make up the bulk of the issue.
One of the best things about this num-
ber is that it does not merely give an
external illustration of each ship, but
it takes the reader down below decks,
and initiates him into the mysteries of
the magazines, handling rooms, amm-
rition hoists and motive machinery.
The sectional views of the interior of
the turrets of the monitors are excep-
tionally fine, as are the large wood en-
gravings of the engines of the “Massa-
chusettes.” The last page of the num-
ber contains complete tables of the
new Navy, the auxiliary fleet and the
various naval guns. A handsome col-
ored map of Cuba and the West Indies
is furnished with this issue. We extend
our congratulations to our contempo-
rary on the production of a work which
is well conceived and admirably car-
ried out. This work is published by
Munn & Co. of 361 Broadway, New
York, for 25 cents.

AGED HARVESTERS.
One Who Has Helped Gather the
Golden Grain for Ninety Years.
Everett Republican.
Our venerable friend Squire Samuel
Staily, of Ray’s Hill, was in Everett on
Tuesday last for a few hours. He said
he was going home to help in the har-
vest field on Wednesday, ns is his cus-
tom. For the past seventy-three years
he has performed a like service. Mr.
Staily is in his eighty-sixth year, and
is hale and hearty for a man of his ad-
vanced age.
We thought he was thecldest harvest
hand who would assist in gathering in
the abundant crops this year, but the
Waynesboro Record knocks us out in the
first round by saying that Rudolph
Herr, of Clear Spring, Md., who has as-
sist.d in every wheat harvesting for
the past ninety years, is again in the
field this year. Notwithstanding his
advanced age of ninety-three years, he
cradled for over an hour with as much
sprightliness as many of the young har-
vesters.
