Notable for Their Durability.
A most important feature of the flat,
| indestructable records used on the Co-
| lumbia Disc Graphophone is their dura-
| bility. The material used is a compo-
| sition exclusively controlled by the Co-
{ lumbia Phonograph Company, pioneers
| and leaders in the talking machine art.
| While its peculiar character admits of
its receiving the most minute vibra-
| tions, the composition is hard enough
| to resist wear. For this reason Colum-
bia Disc Records outlast all others
| while they are vastly superior in qual-
lity. Instead of being of being scratchy
| and muffled, they are smooth, clear,
resonant and possessed of a volume
that is truly marvelous. Only those
who own Columbia disc machines and
| the perfected disc records of the Co-
(lumbia Phonograph Company, have a
| just conception of the progressthat has
| been made in bringing this type of ma-
| chines and records to the highest possi-
| ble point of desirability.
The Dise Graphophone is made in
| three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30.
Seven inch records 50c each, $5 per

Coal Run News.
Oct. 27th.—It is with much regret
that your correspondent reports the
closing of Merchants mine No. 2 for an
indefinite period. Their No. 1 mine
was closed some time ago, and as a re-
sult many of their employes have to
seek employment elsewhere. The
closing of No. 2 is greatly regretted by
the miners who worked there, as this
colliery was generally conceded to be
the most desirable in the region to
work in. The electric motor has been
removed to the No. 3 mine, which will
be of great advantage to the miners
working there.
Mr. August Snyder, of Maryland, is a
welcome visitor in our community. He
once resided here, and we are reliably
informed that he intends to move back
to Coal Run again.
Barton Turvey is completing his new
residence and will occupy it in the very
near future.

SENATOR QUAYS
kEAT SPEECH
He Challenges Proof of the Charges
Made By Democrats.
DEFENDS PARTY’S POLICIES
And Points to Its Achievements In the
State For Forty Years.
NATIONAL ISSUES IN CAMPAIGN
There Will Be No Tariff Changes, He
Declares, As Long As Pennsylvania
Holds Her Position In the Republi-
can Ranks—A Great Pittsburg Meet-
ing.
The Carnegie Music Hall, Pittsburg,
was packed to its capacity last Friday
night to hear United States Senator
Quay, chairman of the Republican
State Committee, discuss the issues of
the campaign.
Senator Quay’s speech was one of the
most striking ever delivered by a po-
litical leader. He unreservedly defied
the Democratic assailants of the Re-
publican party to prove their asser-
tions, and declared that the policy of
protection was safe as long as Penn-
sylvania stood firmly in line.
Attempts have been made by Demo-
cratic newspapers to distort the speech
and for that reason it is here given in
full. Senator Quay said:
The conditions in the Republican
stronghold in Allegheny county are not
happy. I remember the fable of the
man who interfered in the battle be-
tween husband and wife, and if I were
to pronounce upon the merit of your
present controversy I would not be
here. Always I have stood for party
regularity. Always since the Republi-
can party was organized I have voted
a straight Republican ticket.
Many of my best friends at times
have disagreed with this policy, but
generallly I have found them dissatis-
fied in the end with the result of their
experiment. In alliances with the Dem-
ocratic party the Democrats always get
the oyster, the Republicans get the
shell. Some gentlemen in Allegheny
county in 1890 assisted to place Mr.
Pattison in the gubernatorial chair
and will remember the bitter repulses
and disappointments they experienced
at his hands.
‘Within more recent years some of
your people in the legislature became
involved with the Democracy in a
lock-up of the.United States senator-
ship at Harrisburg. Since then they
have endured much buffeting whilst
the Democracy thrived and laughed. I
hope my friends in what is known as
the Citizens’ party may do better than
this, but I fear they will do worse.
STRIFE MUST CEASE.
This is certain: The time has come
when the Republicans in Pennsylva-
nia for their. own sakes must cease
intestine strife and form line of bat-
tle for resistance to the common en-
emy. We have recently seen the sheet
lightning and heard the voice of a com-
ing storm in the northwestern states.
We have distened to the utterances of
our brethren in Iowa, Wisconsin and
elsewhere, and have witnessed the dra-
matic and pathetic exit from public
life of the distinguished speaker of
‘| the national house of representatives.
The tariff is the life of Pennsylvania.
This great city is its creature of which
it is the vital and sustaining force. It
is making this region near the forks
of the Ohio a metropolis of industry,
commerce and wealth which will
shortly house a population of mil-
lions.
The present tariff fulfills all national
requirements and oppresses no person
or interest. It needs no revision. Re-
vision of the tariff means reduction of
the tariff. Reduction of the tariff
means reduction of the profits of the
manufacturer. Reduction of the profits
of the manufacturer means reduction
of the wages of the laborer. Reduction
of the wages of the laborer means loss
of business to those who supply the
laborer with the necessities and c¢om-
forts of life.
NO TARIFF REVISION.
We in Pennsylvania are satisfied
with existing conditions, and as to re-
vision, will have none. Agitators may
cry “Revision!” “Revision!” but there
will be no revision while Pennsylvania
maintains her commanding position in
the Republican party and nation—a
position she can only maintain by ab-
solute harmony in council and unity
in action among her Republican voters.
The present campaign of the Democ-
racy in Pennsylvania presents a spec-
tacle unique in its effort to obliterate
the evidence of the existence of that
party and the memory of its mis-
deeds.
They merely scold and defame pub-
lic officials, befoul the reputation of
the state which shelters them, bark
at Quay and vouch for their own in-
tegrity. You have all heard their
cries of agony evoked by the con-
sciousness that their fellow men were
=0 much worse than they. I need not
recapitulate and I reply. It is false
that any member of the last legisla-
ture was paid to vote for Mr. AMarshall
for the speakership of the house. If it
is true, who was the member who
paid him and what was the amount
paid?
It is false that any member of the
senate or house of representatives was
paid to vote for me for United States
senator. If it is true, who was the
person purchased, who paid the money
and what was the amount paid?
A LIE NAILED.
It is false that I was elected by any
coalition with Democrats. My major-
ity of 12 included just one Democrat,
who voted against my express wish.
It is false that the vote of a single
delegate was purchased in the late
Republican state convention.
If it is true, who was the delegate?
What was the amount paid and who
paid it? It will be remembered that
the same charge was made by a dis-
tinguished and defeated candidate for
governor before the Democratic state
convention, which met at Altoona in
1898 and nominated Mr. Jenks.
It is false that Samuel W. Penny-
packer was my “self-selected” candi-
date. There were two men in Penn-
sylvania who were absolutely hostile
to the suggestion of Judge Penny-
packer’s name; one was Judge Penny-
packer, the other was M. S. Quay. It
was very certain.that the broad-minded
leaders of the opposition would make
a personal campaign upon the ground
that the great-grandfather of Judge
Pennypacker was the half-brother of
my grandfather, and the prospect was
not pleasant. Judge Pennypacker him-
self preferred the bench to the execu-
tive chair.
+ As to legislative corruption, there
may be evil spirits in the legislature,
as in all civic and military bodies, but
to denounce a legislature as corrupt
upon the newspaper assertion of the
corruption of one or two of its mem-
bers, is as equitable as to charge that
the people of Pittsburg were thieves
because a thief had been arrested on
your streets.
HENSEL MUST GIVE NAMES.
I see that my friend Hensel has ex-
perienced a sudden attack of Quay-
phobia and that he is in travail be-
cause of corruption which will only
be brought to light upon the chal-
lenge of Senator Penrose or Senator
Quay. Whatever the case and who-
ever the criminal, I challenge Mr. Hen-
sel to produce his charge, his specifi-
cations and his proof. If he does not,
he fails in his duty to the public.
The peripatetics of the opposition
produce but three cases of alleged cor-
ruption at Harrisburg which they
claim were fully established. First,
there was the scandal on the Clarion
Normal School. It was asserted that
$2,500 had been paid to the legislature
for an appropriation to that institu-
tion.
I have seen no statement anywhere
to establish that it had been actually
paid, nor by whom, nor to whom it was
paid. The only member of the legis-
lature named in its connection were
two Democrats, one of whom has been
renominated.
It was alleged also by the same co-
terie of scandal mongers that a hid-
eous case was made out against Mr.
Harris, the present state treasurer.
Investigation disclosed that Mr. Har-
ris when a member of the legislature
went to ‘Harrisburg after the legisla-
ture had adjourned at the request of
the officers of a Clearfield county insti-
tution to represent them before the
governor, and had rendered a bill for
$100 or $200 for that service and other
extra legislative services in their be-
half which the institution had refused
to pay. That was the extent of the
horrible case of corruption in Clear-
field county.
Again it is said that my friend,
David B. Oliver, is cognizant of a case
in point—indeed, I have read his
speech, which was direct and perti-
nent, but Mr. Oliver does not disclose
the identity of {ae heavy villain in the
case nor the attendant circumstances.
Mr. Oliver should give them to the
public. He should hew to the line, let
the chips fall where they may.
These are the only instances, so far
as I have found, produced by the scan-
dal mongers to sustain their charges
that the state which gives them shel-
ter and has given them prominence
and wealth is debauched, robbed and
misgoverned.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
And now I desire to present to you
some statistics bearing upon the al-
leged misgovernment of the state of
Pennsylvania, a state whose only
cause to blush is that her own chil-
dren are traducers. I assert that
Pennsylvania fis the best governed
state in this Union—look at her educa-
tional system.
Under the Democratic administra-
tion in 1860 the amount appropriated
for common schools was $280,000. In
1868 the Republicans had removed the
state tax from real estate and in-
creased the common school appropria-
tion to 78 per cent. over 1860.
In 1874 they had increased it 374
per cent. over 1860, and at the last
session of the legislature it was in-
creased more than 500 per cent. over
1874.
From 1851 to 1860, inclusive, the last
ten years of Democratic control, the
amount was $2,411,500.
The amounts appropriated from 1893
to 1902, inclusive, were $15,660,000.
From 1883 to 1892, inclusive, were $21,-
000,000, showing an increase in the past
~~
ten years over the preceding ten years
of over 250 per cent.
The appropriations for salaries of
county superintendents of common
schools from 1883 to 1902, inclusive,
were $1,002,000. From 1882 to 1892, in-
clusive, were $860,000.
The amount paid by that state to its
counties for school purposes at the
rate of $1.45 for each enumerated
youth, was $1,769,939.23, of which the
real estate of the counties contributed
all but $490,735.53, while the tax upon
horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, etc., paid
a large part of the last named amount.
This tax on real estate was in addi-
tion to the local school taxes.
Pennsylvania pays about $4 each for
her total number of pupils, and its
real estate contributes nothing.
During and since the Civil War to
May 31, 1902 Pennsylvania has ex-
pended for the support and education
of soldiers’ and sailors’ orphans $11,-
573,833.93.
Over 17,000 of such pupils have been
admitted to her soldiers’ orphans’
schools and we are now maintaining
and educating nearly eleven hundred.
Another comparison of great import-
ance may be cited.
The state of debt of Pennsylvania in
1861 was $40,448,213.82, or over $13.91
for every man, woman and child with-
in its borders. Today the state debt
of Pennsylvania is not five cents per
capita.
The annual interest on our state debt
in 1860 was $1,960,000. Today it is
practically nothing.
AS TO BALLOT REFORM.
The Republican state committee at
its recent session appointed sub-com-
mittees to formulate new ballot and
primary election laws. Their report
was anticipated at an early date, but
the chairman of one of the committees
has been in the field with the National
Guard, and the other committee, after
giving full hearings to all interested,
is awaiting the report of two distin-
guished attorneys, Hon. Alexander
Simpson and Hon. Richard C. Dale,
who are engaged in the preparation of
a ballot reform bill.
When these committees are ready to
report the Republican organization
will take position. Speaking for my-
self, the Van Dyke primary law, waich
passed the house of representatives at
the last session of the legislature, was
as fair and effective an instrument as
could be framed.
My own preference would be for a
return to the old law, which permitted
every voter to write or print his own
ballot; with a proviso that each voter
shall enter a private booth alone and in
which he shall seal his ballot in an of-
ficial envelope, waich he shall hand to
the election officers. This would pre-
vent espionage upon the voter, secure
an absolutely free vote and rid us of
the present litigious and cumbrous bal-
lot and mushroom parties. I regret to
say that my views do not seem to im-
press the distinguished jurists now op-
erating upon the issue.
HENSEL TAKES WATER
The Democratic Ex-Attorney General
Refuses to Accept Quay’s
Challenge.
The defiance of Senator Quay to
Democratic ex-Attorney General W. U.
Hensel, and Democratic camp follow-
ers generally, demanding that he re-
veal the names of members of the
legislature whom he (Hensel) said
were bribed, was met with a back-
down. Hensel failed absolutely to
name any one.
It was in Philadelphia, at the Acad-
emy of Music on Saturday night last,
and a more complete political back-
down was never seen in state politics.
Hensel was the star speaker at the
Democratic mass meeting. When he
came to Senator Quay’s defiance, ut-
tered in Pittsburg the night before, he
endeavored to turn it aside.
Instead of answering Quay’s demand
that he give the names of the bribed
and bribers, he invited Senator Quay
to make his queries on that subject of
some one else.
The Philadelphia Press had this to
say of the Hensel fiasco:
“Disappointment was the central
feature of the Democratic meeting at
the Academy of Music last night. The
big auditorium was only half filled at
8.30 o'clock, when the managers, who
had been hopefully awaiting the ar-
rival of more persons, reluctantly
forced their star attractions onto the
stage and called less than 1,500 people
to order.
I'he chief disappointment, however,
was for the comparatively small num-
ber of persons present—most of them
had been attracted by the Pittsburg
challenge of Senator Quay to former
Attorney General Hensel to be spe-
cific in his charges of corruption and
name the members of the legislature
who were bribed, the amounts they re-
ceived and the men who paid them.
Following the many charges of bribery
and this bold note of defiance to the
Democrats from Senator Quay the ex-
pectation was general among those who
went to the Academy of Music last
night that Mr. Hensel would say some-
thing sensational. He did not, how-
ever.
The Press then gives some quota-
tions from Hensel’'s back down speech,
refusing to give names or specific
facts.
. What Mr. Hensel failed to say was
that all rumors of bribery concerned
Democrats, members of his own party,
and for that reason he did not dare to
mention names.
This ended the Democratic sensa-
tion begun by Pattison, Hensel & Co.,
and promptly squelched by State Chair-
man Quay.
House Raided.
Last Sunday the house of Charles
Koontz, in West Salisbury, was raided
by Officers Christner, Joy and Walker.
Complaint was made by people living
near Koontz, alleging that there were
positive indications of an illict drinking
joint in Mr. Koontz’s house.
On Thuesday evening the defendant
was arraigned before Esquire Samuel
Lowry for a hearing. A representative
of Tre Star was present at the hear-
ing, and the evidence brought out was
about as follows:
The officers swore that they found
Koontz, seven other men and a boy in
the room, some of the men quite drunk
and a number of them playing cards.
The officers further testified that they
found in the recom four full kegs of
beer snd one keg on tap that was about
drained ; but they said they saw no one
drinking beer, although there was evi-
dence to that effect, such as foamy
glasses, a pitcher, and the drunken
condition of some of the men. The of-
ficers also said, upon being questioned,
that they saw no money or anything
else of value used at the card table.
The boy who was present swere that !
he had been drinking beer in the room,
but said that no one gave it to him. “I
just helped myself,” he said. This
was about the extent of the evidence,
but the Justice deemed it sufficient on
which to hold Koontz for court and re-
quired him to give bail for his appear-
ance there in the sum of $1,000. The
bail was furnished by members of the
Meyersdale Brewing Company, for
whom it appears Koontz is an agent.
Upon the evidence offered at the
hearing, Tar Star must admit that it
does not look like a very strong case;
but we are told that when the case is
heard by the court, evidence will be of-
fered that will show conclusively that
Koontz has been running a pretty
tough joint. As to the truth of the al-
legations, we know nothing, but time
will likely tell who is in the right. We

How One Woman Makes Fuel.
Here is the manner in which one
housewife has to a certain dergree
overcome the pressing question of fuel,
says the Utica Observer:
She took four common bricks and
placed them in a pail. Over the bricks
she poured a gallon of kerosens oil and
let them stand until the bricks had ab-
sorbed all of the oil they would take
up. Then she took out two of the
bricks and placed them in the Kkitghen
range and set fire to them. They burn-
ed fully two hours. and the fire that
they made was one by which it was
possible to do any kind of cooking or
other work requiring considerable
The lady says in this way it will
be possible in her home to get along
with the cooking, washing and ironing
without resort to gas. There was no
unpleasant odor or any trouble what-
ever, for the oil just blazed away like a
stove full of good wood.

" The Miserable.
God pity the heart that is aching
With grief for the loved and lost;
And pity the heart that has purchased
Its ache at a fearful cost;
God pity the heart that is bleeding
With shame for a brother’s fall—
God weep with the heart that is lonely;
Its ache is the worst of all.
God pity the life that is worthless
And, knowing it, burns with shame;
O pity the innocent children
W ho bear a dishonored name;
God pity the world-weary sinner
When all of his pleasures pall;
But weep with the heart that is lonely—
Its ache is the worst of all.
God pity the wealthy and idle
Who've nothing to do but live;
God pity the poor who would help them
Though nothing they have to give;
Give pity to unhappy people
* Wherever their lots may fall;
Then weep with thegheart that is lonely—
Whose ache is the worst of all.
