The Itch for Publieity. We often smile at the desire of some humble citizen to see his name in print. The country editor, especially, knows how severe is the pressure on his col- ums from various citizens often non- subscribers, for the glorious privilege of reading “Si Perkins” or “Melinda Maloon” in the Bugle. But are the rich, the haughty, the “sassiety” lights exempt from this same human desire? Not if the revelations of the recent blackmailing scandal in New York can be taken as evidence. Incidental to the case, it appeared that a great many wealthy persons with well-known names paid royally for admission to a book to be called “America’s Smart Set.” It is said that the first subscriber to the work was John Jacob Astor, who paid in $1000. Mrs. Howard Gould also paid $1000, as did Clarence H. Mackey. And all this for the strictly commercial right to ap- pear in an alleged work on society. The rural gentleman surely has the laugh on his urban confreres.—Press and Printer. Bedford County Humor. The Hopewell woman who threw a tumbler of water on a crowd of sere- naders who were entertaining the neighborhood from a point near her room window, went to bed and slept peacefully the remainder of the night. When she woke up she learned that she had thrown her false teeth out with the water and that they had been broken to pieces on the pavement. A Bedford woman gave ag an excuse for not attending a society affair that she “had nothing to wear.” She must have been short of clothes, indeed, when she didn’c have the little that is needed for such an occasion. About two-thirds of what some peo- ple call sticking up for principle, is nothing more than bull-headedness. People in love are proverbially silly, but the worst case comes from Mis- souri, where a young woman commit- ted suicide because she feared the young man she was to marry was too good for her. If she had waited until a while after the ceremony she would have known better.—Everett Republi- can. Slightly Mixed. Two correspondents wrote to a country editor to know respectively, “The best way of assisting twins through the teething period,” and “How to rid an orchard of grasshop- pers.” The editor answered both questions faithfully, but unfortunately got the initials mixed, so that the fond father of the teething twins was thunder- stfuck by the following advice: “If you are unfortunate enough to be plagued by these unwelcome little pests, the quickest means of settling them is to cover them with straw and set the straw on fire.” While the man who was bothered with grasshoppers was equally amazed to read: “The best method of treatment is to give them each a warm bath twice a day and to rub their gums with bone- set.” Thought it Was the Same. An old woman living in Gardiner, Me., had occasion to call a doctor, ac- cording to the Boston Herald. He found her only slightly indisposed, and left a powder for her to take, with the following directions: “Take what you can get on a ten-cent piece every three hours.” Next day the doctor found his pa- tient alarmingly ill. “Did you take the powder as direct- ed?” he asked. “No, not exactly. I did not have a ten-cent piece, so I took what I could get on two fives.” All Rightin Case He Heard. . “Well,” said the cheerful wife, who thought she had a soprano voice, “if the worst comes to the worst I could keep the wolf from the door by sing- ing.” “T don’t doubt that would do it,” re- plied the husband, who bad suffered much, “but suppose the wolf should happen to be deaf?’—Ladies’ Home Journal.

"Tis well to woo, ’tis well to wed, For go the world has done Since roses grew and myrtles blew, And morning brought the sun. But have a care, ye young and fair— Be sure ye pledge with truth; Be certain that your love will wear Beyond the days of youth. For if ye give not heart for heart, As well as band for hand. You'll find you’ve played the “unwise” part, And “built upon the sand.” Tis well to save, ’tis well to have A goodly store of gold, And hold enough of shining ‘stuff— For charity is cold. - But place not all your hopes and trust In what the deep mine brings: We cannot live on yellow dust Unmixed with purer things. And he who piles up wealth alone, Will often have to stand Beside his coffer chest and own "Tis “built upon the sand.” "Tis good to speak in kindly guise, And soothe whate’er you can; Fair speech should bind the human mind, And love link man to man. But stay not at the gentle words, Let deeds with language dwell; The one who pities starving birde Should scatter crumbs as well. The mercy that is warm and true Must lend a helping hand, For those who talk, yet fail to do, But “build upon the sand.” —EvL1zA COOK. THE VOTER. 1. Now Smith is glad and joyous, for it’s nearly time to vote, He recollects a lot of things and makes his friends take note, ,. He holds a bunch of petty spites against the candidates; He has no use for some of them, and some he fairly hates. These grudges he has cherished for a year and maybe more. And now Smith’s chanee has come at last to even up the score. II. A candidate for sheriff once ignored him in the street, A candidate for auditor onee missed him in a treat, A proud judicial candidate is chesty, so Smith thinks, A eouncilman once voted for Smith's rival’s crooked kinks; And Smith remembers all these things, and lots of others, too, And now that ‘lection time is here, Smith knows just what he’ll do. —(Cleveland Leader.

NOVEMBER'S VOTE TO BE A TEST Sympathles of the National Adminls- tration Are Strongly With the Party Organization In This State. [Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Sept. 12. Every vote cast for the Republican ticket in Pennsylvania at the approach- ing election will not only be a vote of endorsement of Republican principles but a vote of confidence in Roosevelt as well as an additional guarantee to the national administration that the great Republican organization of the Keystone State stands firmly and loy- ] ally by the president . The scandalous conduct of the new insurgent-Democratic combine in Penn- gylvania make it essential that the honest Republicans of the state shall assert themselves at the next election. A member of the Union League has received from President Roosevelt a personal letter which absolutely dis- poses of the rumors circulated by as- sistant Democrats in this city and state to the effect that one or more members of the president's cabinet will figure in opposition to the regular Republi- tan cause. While such reports would ordinarily be regarded as too ridiculous to neces- sitate denial, the repeated announce- ments from iasurgent and Democratie newspapers that Secretary Bonaparte will make a speech or write a letter to be used in the present campaign in the interest of the anti-Republican candi- dates prompted the correspondence which brought forth the letter from the president to one of his personal friends in the Union League. Roosevelt's Interest In Pennsylvania. . Not only does President Roosevelt make it clear that Secretary Bonaparte will not figure ‘in’ the Pennsylvania campaign, but Republicans who have been curious abeut the foundation for other stories indicating that the presi- dent's sympathies are not fully with the regular Republican organization in Pennsylvania are given no excuse to be longer in doubt as to the attitude of the federal administration on the ques- tion of loyalty to the Republican party in the Keystome State. President Roosevelt fully realizes that the twe Republican United States senators and the 31 Republican mem- bers of the natienal house of represen- tatives from Pennsylvania have been heartily in accord with his administra- tion, and they intend to stand by him ia his future efforts for the develop- ment of the country’s resources under Republican policies. He also knows that the present contest im Pennsylva- nia will have a far-reacliiiigg effect upon the great struggle for the election of congressmen next year. Lines Must Not Be Broken. “Should the Republican HMnes be broken in Pennsylvania this fall dis- astrous results would surely follow in the congressional election next year,” declared Chairman Andrews, of the Re- publican state committee. There are several elose congressional districts in this state, and it may require the most strenuous work in the approaching con- gressional campaign to hold Pennsyl- vania’'s record of having the largest Republican delegation of any state in the union on the floor of the national house of representatives. “The great manufacturing and indus- trial interests of Pennsylvania which are so dependant upon Republican su- premacy,” continued Chairman An- drews “will rot allow factional bicker- ings or the work of a few aspiring and reckless individuals to imperil the elec- tion by a large majority of every one of the candidates on the Republican state ticket next November. “Insurgent and party wrecking or- ganizations formed to advance the per- sonal interests of a clique of wealthy and ambitious men cannot get a foot- hold in Republican Pennsylvania this fall to endanger Republican success in the great struggle of next year when the vital interests of the commonwealth will be so deeply concerned.” Gordon-Weaver Combine. In the Machiavellian game that fs being played in this city te further the insurgent movement, former Judge Gordon's fine hand has been disclosed from time to time. In line with the circulation of re- ports that Secretary Bonaparte and possibly other cabinet officers would be Rheard from during the course of the campaign in favor of the so-called “re- form’ agitation was the attempt to have it appear that Presiden Roosevelt sought a conference with Mayor Wea- ver on his return visit to Wilkes-Barre. It is known that this much adver- tised ‘“‘conference” had no political sig- nificanee. The fact is, there was no “conference” between the president and the mayor of Philadelphia upon any subject. Mayor Weaver met the presi- dent as thousands of other citizens greeted him during his visit to the coal regions. There was not a second dur- ing their meeting at which there were not several other persons present and in hearing distance. It is now declared that Mayor Wea- ver's visit to the coal regions was de- liberately planrad for political pur- poses by the Gordon outfit, and that the speech which he delivered to the delegates to the convenion of the Cath- olic Total Abstinence Beneficial Union was carefully prepared with a view to advancing the interests of the men back of the Independent campaign in this city and state. It has been boldly charged and not Senfed that Gordon wrote the speech which Weaver made. It was a bril- Mant literary effort. Weaver is not a good scholar, as texts of his annual reports to councils “have shown. No one whe knows him can believe he wrote that Wilkes-Barre speech. The people are beginning to under- stand the significance of the Gordon- Weaver combination and they are go- fng to vote accordingly. Gordon represents the old insurgent Democratic combination that has re- cently been rehabilitated and which is seeking to get control of the Re- publican organization in Pennsylvania. He is using the patronage of the Weaver administration to that end. A MAN OF THE PEOPLE Laboring Interests of the State Rally Around Plummer. RECALL HIS PLUCK AS A BOY Career of the Republican Nominee For State Treasurer Appeals to the Masses. [Special Correspondence.} Harrisburg, Sept. 12, It has been a source of gratification to the friends ot J. Lee Plummer, the Republican nominee for state treas- urer, to find that on every hand work- fngmen of Pennsylvania are express- ing keen interest in his candidaey. Mr. Plummer is recognized as a man who has worked his way up from very humble circumstances and who is en- titled to the consideration and sup- port of every Pennsylvanian who ap- preciates worth and merit in a fellow citizen. ‘What may be termed the “labor vote” {is practically solid for Mr. Plummer. The name of “Plummer” was heard oa many lips in the great popular demonstration of Labor Day. Out in Pittsburg, where the labor parade was the largest ever given in that section of the state, many of the leaders in the labor movement are among Mr. Plummer’s staunchest supporters. A Labor Editor's Tribute. In a special edition of his paper pub lished for Labor Day the editor of the Labor World had this to say about Mr. Plummer: “In another part of this issue of the Labor World we publish a brief sketch of the career of J. Lee Plummer, Re- publican candidate for state treasurer of Pennsylvania. The facts of this sketéh prove Mr. Plummer to be in truth a remarkable man, both as to mental ability and moral fortitude. His great and creditable success in life shows that he is not such stuff as dreams are made of. He is typical of those immortal Americans who have sprung from the lowly cottage or cabin and rocky paths of ill-requited toil to become great publfe blessings. “From a wage worker's viewpoint there is much to be proud of in the early struggles of J. Lee Plummer. He was compelled when at tender years to ‘get out and hustle’ to support the family. His father had met with a serious accident when on public duty. Young Plummer worked with a will and with hope. He soon displayed marked ability and he became a ‘prominent man’ before he had at- tained his majority. True to the Masses. “It is natural that such men of tal- ent as Mr. Plummer should reach im- partant public offices of trust. He has been no exception, and to bis credit let it be recorded that he has been true to the interests of the masses in the performance of his duty. Ag chairman of the committee on ap- propriations, his work exists as a monument to his fidelity to the best: interests of the people. His sympathies and efforts were for the poor, the very poor. Doubtless his struggles in early life prompted him unswervingly in this direction. His policy as chairman of the appropriations committee re- garding free beds in hospitals and the treatment of the insane poor cannot but win for him the help of the work- ers for wages. His noble effort to have the state care for consumptives un- able to help themselves is another proof of his strong desire to aid and uplift struggling humanity. “Such men as Mr. Plummer, em- bodying all the sterling qualities char- acteristic of the truest Americans af- ford the very best examples to the sons of the wage workers. Depend upon it, they prove that poverty is not a barrier to success when determina- tion and honesty of purpose are em- ployed. Thus it is that these examples should be encouraged by those who benefit most by them, that is, the workingmen themselves. “Let the honorable and progresstve course of the quondam newsboy he continued. His past gives assurance for the future. He comes from the ranks and is one of the people.” Andrews Is Satisfied. Republican State Chairman Andrews is entirely satisfied with his reports from the counties, says the Pittsburg Gazette. They indicate the usual “off- year” plurality for J. Lee Plummer, or more. There is no good reason why this should not be so. Mr. Plummer is a man of high character, who has the heartiest support of all Republicans fn Blair county, where he resides. He is well qualified for the position to which he aspires. His opponent, Mayor Berry of Chester, is not so well equipped for the place. He is a self-seeking pol- ftician, a place hunter, a chronic can- didate for office who is willing to be nominee of any party that has a chance of success—Prohibitionist, Free Silver- ite, by turns—Mr. Berry is anything for rn office and mot much in one.

All passenger trains of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to and from New York City now have direct ferry connection with 23rd Street Terminal, in addition to Liberty Street; the South Ferry Terminal having been discontinued. Twenty-third Street is the most pop- ular terminal of the great metropolis because of its convenience to the hotel, theatre and shopping district. In the recent remodeling of the terminal building a glass roofed canopy was constructed fifty feet wide, under which the cross-town cars of 14th, 23rd, 28th and 29th Street lines pass, so that passengers are protected from the weather leaving the ferry house, and also avoid the annoyance of street traffic. All baggage destined to New York unless distinctly marked Street,” or otherwise. A complete electric cab service has also been established for the transpor- tation of passengers and baggage at very reasonable rates. The importance of 23rd Street is most graphically brougkt to attention in the August number of the “Book of the Royal Blue” published by the Passen- ger Department of the Baltimore & Ohio, under the title “Into the Heart of Gotham.” The interest centers within a mile radius of 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue and Broadway.
