To the Republican ntectori of Pennsylvania: After consultation and correspondence with the membert of the Republican State Committee, and by their direction, I hereby give notice that the Rejiub'ioans of Pennsylvania, by their duty chosen representatives, xoill meet in Slate Con vention at Ilarrlsburg, Wednesday, August 19, 1891, at lOo'clock A, .It., for the purpose ofplar ing in nomination candidates for the offices of State ZVa.tnrsr anil Auditor General, for the nomination of eighteen candidates for Delegates' ai-Istrge to the Constitutional Convention pro vided for in the Act of Assembly approved June 19, 1891, and for the transaction of such other bttstness as may be presented. XbtieeU especially dlrectetl to the fact that, in accordance wHhthe provisions of the last men Honed act, each Senatorial district it entitled to a representation of three delegates in said Con stitutional Convention, two of whom only oanbe members of the majority party in said district. The electors of each district are therefore re quested to make proper nominations for dele gates to said convention, the rides governing the nomination of candidates for State Senator to be applicable. In this connection the Cliatrman desires to call the attention of Republican voters to the recom mendation of the Stale Convention of 1832, that 'they allow the greatest freedom in the general participation in the primaries consistent with the preservation of the parly organization," WM. n ANDREWS, Chah man. NATUR ALIZ ATION. The Union League club, of New York city, some weeks ago began nn agitation for an Improvement of our naturalization laws, with the purpose f of preventing the dangers that arise irotu uie use or tue oauot, oy ignorant and dangerous classes of foreigners who are crowding our ports more thickly than ever. A memorial to Congress has been prepared, as that body has the right to legislate In that direction. To secure protection from threatened daugers, the memorial requests Con gress to enact laws that shall restrict the power of naturalization to the Federal courts, which shall require a longer residence In tho Ualted States for the naturalization of Immigrants than that now required ; that all appli cations for naturalization shall be In the baud-writing of the applicant ; and that the applicant must also be able to read and speak as well as write the Eugllsh language. It nlso aiks that any citizen shall be allowed to contest in open court any application ; r and that any court having jurisdiction y jfcsuall navo power to annul any natura- -NEW- CARPETS AND OIL CLOTHS ! aro being received dally nt Carpet Store, 10 South Jardin SI, near Centre Bidding and Preserving Time ! is notu at hand.

AT KESITESR'S. llzatlon papers made in violation of law. We think that this movement is a proper one, mnro than that, it Is a needed one; and in connection with it wo need another movement to shut out certain classes entirely. Hundreds of thousands of naturalized citizens and native-born Americana, sharo this way. Thousands of immigrants reach this laud every month who are as undesirable in overy respect no the Chinese ; perhaps vastly more so. Tho Ilarrlsburg Patriot Is right and patrlotlo in saying, "If wo cannot determine who shall and who shall not enter the country we might as well declare to the world that wo aro help less to coutrol our own aflairs." But our laws as to naturalization ought to be more stringent with those whom we have no wish to exclude from citizenship. A glance at the various laws that have been framed on this subject is interesting. Such laws engaged tho attention of the early law makers. We lluu that au act was passed by tho First Congress, in 1700, requiring two years' residence befole a foreigner could become a citizen. This time was extended, in 1705, to Ave, and In 1793 in the midst of the excitement of parties over preferences for France or England to fourteen j ears. That was perhaps tho wrong time to adopt n measure of the kind, but the measure, if adopted in the beginning, might have been a prudeutone. In 1802 under Jefferson the preeent limit of live years was adopted. The law of 1802 required at least three years' residence before a declaration on oath of purpose to become a citizen of the United States and to renounce allegiance to any foreign prince or state could be filed. This was changed to two years in 1821. The great defect of our naturalization laws is their lack of uniformity in operation. Congress may make u uniform rule of naturalization, but so long as the magistrate who administers tho law may or may not be a federal otilcial there is fining to be great un certainty in tho administration. Then, too, a system so little uuiform as to permit a man to vote on his landing from the emigrant ship, as iu Louis lana, while other states adhere to the spirit of the 'constitution and require at least two years' residence before voting needs overhauling somewhere A longer residence with more vigorous demands as to certificates and regis t ration, seems Indispensable. just received a lot of PINE guaranteed Absolutely Pare by age Free from any for are strictly Pure and of the common Spices.

ATTEND ANDES AT LAKESIDE ECLIPSED SATURDAY. 10,000 PEOPLE ON THE GROUNDS. The Open-Alr Eisteddfod a Glori ous Success Thousands De lighted by the Events of tho Day-Prlzo Winners. Never in tho history of East Mahanoy Junction or since. Likoside park has been established has there been so many peoplo on tho grounds as on Saturday Inst. Tho attendance whs close upon ten thousand, ecilps'ng all previous "ecords and exceed ing tho expectation of tho most ontlinsiss- lio members of tho commlttoe. When iho railway arrangomonts wero made by tho committee, thero woro some who hositatod in requesting stRtion agent Davics, of tho local ,P. & R. station, lo havo 1,000 tickets on han i for the people of Shenandoah and Win. l'enn. Mr. Davics iisposod of 1.C00 tickets. In addition to this thorn woro hundreds who drovo to Lakeside from town, and as many more went via tho Lehigh Valloy railroad to .Vtahanoy City and made connection with the P. & R, A large number walked to tho park from Delano. Twelve hundred tickets woro sold at the Mahanoy City P. & H. depot and Ashland and Qirardvlllo sent down twenty car loads. Tamaqua and Pottsvillo nlso eont largo crowds and llinorsyillo was well represented. Lans- ford, Summit Ilil), Munch Chunk and Coal Dalo sent about two hundred people. Those places would have sent at least a thousand if tho New Jorsey Central Kail road Company had nctod wisely. Tbo people of tho place asked for special ralos and tho company magnanimously (y lacked 16 conts on tho regular rate for special trains. Tho eisteddfod was to havo oponed at 10 a. m., but owing to tho difficulty experi enced by tho railway company in handling tho unexpected throng some of tho trains arrived upon tho grounds late and it was after 11 o'clock when tho nxorcisos began. Capt. Edward Eeeso, of Cenlndia, who Is chairman of the general committee, was made ohairman for tho day and V Watklus, or ubunaudoan, uctod us secre tary. Just before the opening address was made the Grant Cornet Hand played a selection that was enthusiastically ap plauded by tho immense throng on and about tho grand stand. Mr. Roeso opened tho exercises by mak ing a brief and very appropriato add rose, which provoked a storm of applause. Prof. David V. Price, of Ashland, was then introduced and under his conductor ship the hundreds of voicos joined in sing' ing "Uen Wild by Nhadau ("Tho Land of my Father)." Thon the band contest was announced The Grant Cornet Hand was given a clear Hold. Tho Mt. Carmol band was on tho ground, but did not wish to participate TheCenlralia band had withdrawn and the Lansford band wAout of the contest on account of the difficulty with tho Now Jersey Central Railroad concorning rales. As tho Grant band took a position in front of tho grand stand it was royally recoived. Stalwart Prof. Zoilz struck up tho prizo selection, "Solitudo," in admirable tl.ylo. Tho audience, took overy noto with great interest and when tho conductor's baton fell for tho last time tho applause was as tho roar of cannon, Men cheered and ladles waived ihoir handkerchiefs. Tho band had struck tho chord of success. Prof. William Apaiadoc, of Chicago, III., tho adjudicator for the day, in making his adjudication on tbo solection, compli mented the band in tho highest terms. He said he had heard many bands in tho coal legions, but tho Grant Hand had Impressed him as the best of all. lie thon rn&do a tochnical analysis of the piece as rendered and concluded by saving "I haven't the slightest hesitation in saying that the bnd is very worthy of the prio." Again a storm of applause broke forth and it con tinued until after tbo band hadrotired from tho platform. The next thing on the programme was a male duett, "Tho Two bards," for which thero wero three entries. The contest was for a prizo of 10 and J. J. Prlco and P. T. Evans, singing under tho name of 'Two Welshmen," won it. Thero were flvo entries for the soprano solo, "Ye Breezes that Blow," for a prize of 5. The prize was divided .hot ween Misses Annie "Wynno and Ellen Jenkins, of Mahanoy City. For the 16 prize offered for tbo trio, "O, Restless Boa," there wore four entries and tbo adjudicator divided it between Miss Annio Wynno and Reos Rower, of Mahanoy City, and J. J. Prlco, of Shenan doah, as ono party, and T. J. Davis and P. T. Evans, of Win. Penn, and Miss Mary Jenkins, of Shenandoah, as tho other party. "The 810 prizo for tho violin solo with pian6 accompaniment whs also divided. The contestants were Master Richard llonry Jones, of Wm. l'enn, and Miss Salnmo Goetz, of Ashland, Evan L. Jones, accompanied Master Jones, his brother, and Hiss Ode was accompaniod by I. M. Laubersteirof Ashland. Llew Ilorbert, of Sunton, was then In troduced. Ilia appomnee was a signal for an outburst of heart applause which tho famous basso very rrdestly acknowledged, lie sang "The Slpper" with old-time fervor and repeatedho success he achieved when be sang In Sinandonh a few months ago with Prof. Jaws Sauvaga. He carried the immense lliron with him and could only cut off the lame by giving another song for an encorr Air. Herbert is ono of tho most popular Hgers that havo visited this soction for yew. Ho was on the pro. gramme for threeongs during the day, but the audienoo as not satisfied until ho gavo six and, eve. then, there was a de mand for more, Ut owing to the length of tho programme, ix had to bo sufficient. There was an itermission from one to two o'clock nod he seoond part of the pro gramme was optiod with tho singing of two bass solos b; Llew Herbert, ono being given far an onore. Six competites answered for the tenor salo, "Sword f Bunker Hill," and the prizo of ?5 wosiwarded to Master Genrgo Henry Phi lip. a lllllo boy of Wm. Ponn. Tho Mahanif City choir and Shenan doah Clioral thion then competed for the 8100 prize oH'eod for tho best rondition of " f ho Surnmoi" by n choir of not less than fifty and not nore than sixty voices. Prof. Apmadoc awirded tho prize to Mahanoy City. "God is nSdrlt," a quartette, for which a prize of $20 as offered, brought out two competing pirtios ono l-om Mahanoy City and the other from Shenandoah. Tbo for mer party win. In makiai tho adjudication on "Tho Summer" Ilof. Apmadoc paid to a glow ing tribute ti tho memory of Gwent, tho composer of tho picco, and who died re cently at 'Nilkes-Harre. Iu tho coupotillon on tho baritone solo, "The Nobli Hoy of Truth, thoro wero flvo competitors and tho prizo of 85 was awarded to Thomas Rossor, son of Reos Rosser, of Mahau-y City. Then the "Qaarry men's Cboius," one ol the leading prize selections of the day was announced and tho Shenandoah Gleo Troupo and Hayden Gleo Club, of Maha noy City, atibwured to tho call for com- petltois, Tho Shenandoah party was awarded tho prize of 875. Alter Llew Herbert had delighted tbo audicni'n .ltli twa tnoro mtfg competitors fer tho cbiof prizo of S2C0, offered for tho be t rendition of tho "Hallohijub Choru by a parly of not less than fifty and not more than sixty voices. The Centralla Choral Society, Shenandoah Choral Unin and Mahanoy Cily Choir responded and the prize was won by tho lattor. Prof. Apmadoo made an address in which he called nttenlion to tho g'oat o'eloddfod to bo hold in Chicago in 1693. He also called attention to tbo eisteddfod to bo held at Mahanoy City on Labor D.i.y and the ono to bo hold in Shenandoah on CbrlslniHS Day. Prof. Apmadoc then led in the Unitod choirs and audienco in sing ing "Budd Murdd o Khyfoddodau," alter which ho closed tho greatest musical festival over held in Schuylkill county by awarding tho prizo for tho "Hallelujah Chorus" to Mahanoy City. KT3TKDDFOD ECHOES. Tho success of tho cifloddfod will prob ably lead lo the organization of a peirua nont Schuylkill county eisteddfod organiz ation. Thero wero but fow prominent men of tho county who failed lo appear at tho festival. Llow Herbert says that Charloy Schoppe, ot the Grant Cornet band, is an excellent baritone player. He says he watched tho music during tho band contest and Schoppe did not miss a noto. it was too bad tho Thlid Brigado Band of Pottsvillo and tome other musical organlza tions did not appear to compete. Nothing would havo delighted tho PotUvlllo people more. Mabanoy Uliy was on deck as a prizo winner. Capt. Ted Keetowas in high gleo, "I'm glad it's asucoais," ho said. Several weeks ago some parties predicted that an open-air eisteddfod would be rank failure. Somo of tho same parties aro now to tho front in favor it a perma' uent county ciatoddfod committee. A 8600 prise would draw on Scranton, Wilkes-Htirro, Plymouth and other distant points next year. The expenses incurred in arranging tho eisteddfod were large, but the oommiltoo will more than clear them. Llew Herbert has been engaged to sing at Plymouth on Thursday evening with Prof. James SnuvagQ and son, Herbert is fast ap proaching tho top round of the ladder of fume. Just Ono Week Moro.

WHAT THE SGRIBES SEE AND HEAR Rev. William Powiok Preacbes the Last of a Series of Interesting Sermons in tbo Methodist Episcopal Church. The closing sermon of the series on the "Voyago of Life" was delivered last night in tho Methodist Episcopal church. A brief account was given of tho feeling.. wiih which-passengers view the other shore and of tho various landmarks that pass un der swift roviow botweon "Tho cow, tho bull and tho calf " and Liverpool, and of tho manner in which passengers are landed at Queenstown and Liverpool. Ono of the thoughts suggested by theeo things is that death Is an arrival as woll as a depirturo. Having a desire lo depart and to bo with Christ." Nevertheless from tho earthly side it can never bi anything else than a departuro. "Not that wo would ho un clothed but clothed upon that mortality might bo swallowed up of lifo." Our ar rival puts an end to life's perils. The most c mfldont seaman is never quito certain what tho outcome may be till ho is actually In port. So there is just enough room for uncertainty in tho voyngo of lifo lo keep our hope from rising abovo and beyond "hope," until it ripens into fu 1 fruition on tho other shore. The samo apostle who wroto "I am persuaded that noithor death nor lifo shall bo ablo to sepomlo mo from tho luvo of God," also wroto keep under my body." Arr val on tho oilier side cloars up our ideas concerning it All tho guido books ovor written cannot givo such a clear conception as a glanco of the ojo. Yet upon reading tho guido book n the presonce of tho object described we find ourselves unablo to improve tho de scription. So with our old guido book, tho Biblo. It now soems full of obscurLy loo accounts ol neavon teem very mys terious, but whon wo- read them on the banks of tho rivor in the clearer light heaven.wo shall be ready to confess thatthe book could not bo improvod. The dilli culty now is not a lack of light but a lack of sight. The vocabulary of earth cannot expross tho full glories of heavon. God Is limited in his efforts to niako them know by our finite faculties. In answer to iho question "why do not aniiels and spirits silence our doubts by spoaking to us In un minliikable tones" the question was askt wuy do not wo speak to tho myriads of animalcule in tho drop of water so us to make thorn understand that thero is a lar ger and grander sphere of lifo abovo them in which we livo and move and havo ou boing ? Tho answer is becauso of a want of apprehension on tboir part. Tho su may shiuo but thoy have no eyes. "Wo may talk but thoy havo no ears. Wo aro limited in our correspondence with them by the limitations of thoir nature so it wiih God and angels and tho disembodied spirits of just men mado perfect in the! correspondence with us. As arrival at Liverpool broaks up tho friendships that have been formed during tho voyago by tho passengers who separato novor to moot again so with our arrival on tho other fide ol Jordan. Familius will moet lortholtu limo at tho judgment. Who can paint th anguish of that moment when tho Judgo shall say como yo blossod depart ye cursed and parents aro turned to tho right and ch idron to the loft or vice vorsa. Tho last tears that will course down tho choeks of tho glorified will bo wbon they clasp hands over the impassable gulf and part to meet no more forover. Theeo are doubtless tho tears that God shall wipe away from all fices. A 1'rouilnent Contractor Mlisjiiff. Attleboho, Mass., Aug, 17.
