A LARGE SUPPLY REQUIRED All the Mills In tho Country Could not Moot tho Demand. Tona Requlrod for tho Stato. S election day draws near tho cloud of uncertainty surround ins the Baker ballot lav becomes darker. Thoiois now apossi bllity that before the day arrives tho law will bo declared un constitutional on the ground that many voters, and perhaps tho ftato, will be disfranchised through it. An impression is fast gaining ground tho law is a big farce. Tho election is less than five weeks 08 and men in the paper business have do clared that thore is not enough paper in tho market to mako ono-tonth tho ballots that will bo required in this stale this year, Thoy say it is questionable if all tho mills in tho country, wore they to begin on the contract at onco, could turn out the paper need for such a job in timo, and thoy cer tainly could not bo proparod. ' Tho tickets must bo printed, perforated, gumtnod. numbered and bound in books for sixty seven counties. If but ono ticket is printed for each voter at least 1,200,000, 62x22 inches in size, will be required. Experts figure that about 18,000 pounds of paper will be required for Schuylkill county alono and for tho stato 1,716,000 pounds, or 858 tons. It must also bo remembered that tho tickets must be run through a numbering machino twice and tho law contemplates this work is to be done in six days time. Tho eecrotary of state files his certificatesof nomination ten days before election -and four days before olection tho ballots nmt bo distributed. This is not including tho specimen ballots to bo furnished by the county oommissioneis, an exact pattern of tho offioial ballot. It does not roquiro a .gigantic mind to arrive at tho conclusion that tho chances for the approaching election to be hold under the Baker ballot law aro becoming very slim. STARTLING I The Democrats to Steal the State for Cleveland, A special dispatch from Philadelphia stalos that A. Kevins Pomoroy, editor of the Chambersburg Jicpository, has mado an affidavit there before a notary public that tho Democratic party will endeavor to cast tho electoral vote of Pennsylvania to Cleveland by withholding tho ballots from Republican counties until too lato to be printed for election day. Mr. Pomoroy, in his affidavit, alleges that tho scheme was unfolded to him by State Superintendent of Printing, Grior, through mistaking him on tho street at Harrisburg for a Demo cratio clerk. Republican Stato Chairman Reeder upon being informed by Mr. Pomeroy of his alleged discovery of the schemo of tho Democrats to s'.cal the state's electoral vote, telegraphed Govornor Pattison asking him if the form of the ballot could not bo ro duced to at least forty-six inches Instead of fifty-two as now provided. In his telegram to the Governor, Mr. Reeder, says that if the smallerisized ballot is adopted at least one hundred printing offices in tho state will be able to turn them out instead of only a few as it now the caso with the larger size. Mr. Reeder requested an oarly reply from tho Governor. riles or Hemorrhoids Permanently cured without knife or liga turo. No danger or suffering. No delay from business while under treatment.

It hal como to my knowledge, and my informant appears to be thoroughly re liable, that Jamos Patterson, who is a can didate for tbo Legislature in this district, is holding himself out among certain people as an independent candidate I wish to stato right hero that Mr. Patterson is not an independent candidate, but the candi date of tho Prohibition party. If ho holds himself out as an indopondont candidate he sails under false colors and is a traitor to tho party at whoso hands ho received the nomination. Ho was not ashamed to ac cept tho nomination as a Prohibitionist and certainly should not bo ashamed lo make his canvass fairly and openly as a Prohibitionist. Again, I am told that Mr. Patterson is holding himself out to certain people as a Republican with somo claim upon the "Welsh voters. Ono stone will do to kill tho two birds In th!3 case. Tho record of Mr. Patterson is that ho stood at the polls and worked for Robbins, tho Democratic candidate for tho Legislature against Hon. William E. Jones, tho "Welsh Republican candidate. I am not disposed to give Patterson any undue notoriety, or treat him unfairly, nor do I propose to let such reports as I havo referred to pass without proper notice. Of course Patterson's claim is that ho is in the Held for Patterson, but any intelligent votor can see that his candidacy is nothing less than a tool for the defeat of tho Republican candidate An aged couple residing in tho Gata- wissa Valley mado sorrowful complaint to ono ot our townsmen a few days age. It appoars that sovoral years ago their daughter married and after becoming the mother of two children she died. The children woro raised and cared for by the old couple, who became very much attach ed to them. Recently tho father maniod again and took the children from the grandparents. It is said tho grandmother has grieved so much over tho parting that sho has become completely broken down and her friends fear the worriment may re1 suit fatally. I chanced to drop into "Jimmy" Dough erty's hostelry on South Main street the othor evening and was agrooably surprised to find tho great change ho has made in the place. Upon entering one is struck with the idea that ho has dropped into one of tho magnificent city cafe's of modern timos. Tho walla are lined with immense heavy plato glass panels with handsome black walnut frames. The panels aro forty in number, in iront ot the immense panels at tho back of the bar are hundreds of delicate glass of innumerable colors and designs, formed in seven pyramids. From tho handsomely docorated flro proof' ceiling droop two elegant chandeliers loaded with oxquisito glass pendants and tho arc lamp suspended between them is draped with a lovely shroud of delicately cut glass pieces. At each end of tho bar is fixed a handsomo chandelier. Tho place is certainly elaborate and costly in appear ance and must havo cost the proprietor good sum. Mr. Dougherty calls tho cosy place "Tho Bijou." It certainly is a little jewel. "WALKER, ltededlcutlon.

OUR ANOTHER SWINDLING SCHEME EXPOSED DECREES OF TITLE TO ESTATES IN ENGLAND. ISSUED BY A NEW YORK SHARPER Ho Worked Upon Many of Our Town People Hla Methodo, Postmaster General Wana maker is After Him. OR some timo past resi dents of this town havo been receiving from an agency in New York, held out to the public 89 tbo "Dominion Bureau,1 circulars and letters nforming them by tho deaths of ancostors thoy havo became heirs to properties In England. Tho correspondenco was con ducted for the agency by "Joseph Loger.' Among tho town pooplo worked upon was Matthew Parker, of "West Coal street. Ho received lottors and circulars by tho dozens informing him that ho was heir to certain proporty in England. Mr. Parker ignorod all the communications until a month ago, when ho showed threo papers, ho had just received from Leger to a Herald re' porter. Ono of tho fjapers was a letter head with tho following legond printed at tho top, "Supreme Court of Chancery, Thore was nothing to incidate whero tho court was located, or what its jurisdiction was. Tho body of tbo document was written miserably and set forth that a3 th rlghtB and titlo of Matthew Parker to tho estates in question had been established had beon decreed by tho eald court that upon tho said Parker paying tho amount of incruod taxes ho would bo declared the owner in fee simple of said proporty. Accompanying this document wa3 lotter from Leger, written on a note head oi the "Dominion Bureau," informing Mr; Parker that as tho bureau had succeeded in establishing his title to tho property and only the payment of tho taxes was required to give him full title it would bo nothing more than fair that Parker should pay $35 to tho agency to roimburso it far its trouble and costs. Tho letter also contained ooquost not to send abank check or post office money order, but tho good old cash The Herald warnod Mr. Parker not to comply with tho requests in tho letter an that tho advice was sound has been shown by recent developments; Postmaster-General "Wanamakor has ordered that no registered mail matter delivered to Joseph Leger or tho "Domin' Ion Bureau, ' at JNo. -lol Eighth avenue. Now York City. Tho post office author' lties last month suspected that Xieger was making false protenslons to being a ropro tentativo of tho Chancery Court of Eng' land. A man named Joseph J. Ott charged that Loger had demanded 35 to socuro him an estato, but ho had received no services in exchango lor his cash. Leger has not been seen since tho post office in spectors began to hunt for him. A large quantity of mail addressed to him has ac cumaiated at the post office. It is said a number of town people hold Legor'a "decrees" and that somo of the trips made to England during tho past year havo been searching expeditions for tho "estate."
