A meeting of the Republican Standing
Committee was held la the rooms of the
Suonnndoah Republican League last
evening to consider matters pertaining to
the coming spring election.
Mr. William T. Trezlse, representing
the Shenandoah Republican League, pre
sented a report made to that organization
by a committee appointed to make a can
vass and asceri a n the sentiment as to a
retention of the title - "Citizatjs Party,"
or the adoption of "Republican Party."
The report strongly favored the retention
of the old name and set forth reasons at
s 'me length. After discussion it became
a jparent that there was quite a difference
of opinion among members of the Stand'
ing Committee as to the name and it was
finally decided to leave the matter open
until a full attendance of committeemen
can be secured.
It is more than probable that the old
name will be retained, but It is Ueslreu
that all the committee men shall have an
opportunity to consult with their con
stituents on the questiou. Inquiry thus
far made shows the majority sentiment
in favor of the old name.
Whether or not the name Is changed
the Crawford county syslem of conduct
ing the primaries will be given a trial
this year to see If it will not at leist re
duce the imposition that is practiced by
the Democntlc voters. The blanks have
been secured. By recording the names of
the voters the Republicans, or Citizens,
as the case may be, will be in. a better
position to call repeaters to account and
show who vote at both primaries.
The Standing Committee will meet
again next Friday evening, at 6:30 o'clock,
sharp. The meeting will be held at the
same place, in the Shenandoah Republi
can League rooms, Refowich building. It
is expected that all candidates aud pro
spective candidates for office on the Re
publican or Citizens ticket will be in
attendance. The committee desires their
attendance to consult on some very itn
portant preliminaries that must be
arranged. If the primaries are to beheld
as those of the Citizens party it will be
necessary to secure signatures to a nam
bor of nomination papers, and us at least
two members of the committee have de
clared that they cannot do this work It Is
essential that there shall be an under
standing between the committee and the
candidates as to who will do It.
There is no spare time on hand and
something definite must be done at the
next meeting of the committee. The
nomination papers must be filed by
February 1st, which will be only two
weeks from next Friday.

A Poor Show.
The production of "The Outcast" at
Ferguson's theatre last night tired the
audience. The plot of the drama was
flimsy and one of the most important roles
was botched by the Impersonator falling
to remember his lines. Fortunately the
entertainment was a brief one. A number
of specialities were Introduced but they
were out of date. The audience expressed
disgust with "Sweet Marie."

All attempts to trace tbeinlsrreant who
caused the wreck on the Lehigh Valley
railroad, near Packer No. 4 colliery, on
Saturday last.have failed, but there seems
to be a universal prayer that he will soon
lie caught and punished as he richly de
serves. The company will no doubt ful
fill the duty It owes the public by exhaust
ing every source that may tend to lead to
the capture of the culprit. Train wreckers
are ol a class second to none in tlio
criminal world and this case savors of
pure maliciousness.
In a historical sketch of St. Paul's
church, an old Philadelphia fortress of
Methodism, the Press of that city makes
favorable mention of tho present pastor
of the church, Rev. Charles Roads, who
Is an ex-reaident and ex-school teacher of
this borough. As our readers take a deep
interest in the affairs of Schuylkill
county people (especially those of Shen
andoah) who attain high posltioLs on the
ladder of fame elsewhere, a brief bio
graphical sketch of Rev. Roads will be
appreciated here, especially by old resi
dents who remember Rev. Roads as a
young man. Rev. Charles Roads was
born near Reading, Pa., in 1855,,and after
attending tho public schools graduated
with honor from tie Lebanon Valley
College. At an early age he connected

ot the Methodist churches at Lower
Merlon, Bryn Mawr. Lancaster city and
Mt. Joy; he participated In the noted re
vlvals at the two last places. He served
five years at the Nineteenth street church.
Philadelphia, leaving a most successlul
parish, built up by his Individual
efforts. He is of modest demeanor
and a tunny disposition, and ban

spiritual improvement of the young
people. At the great convention of the

Carter's New Play.
The claim is made for Lincoln Ji
Carter's new scenic play, "The Tornado,"
that Its realisms are of such an imposing;
nature that even the pictorial matter used
in advertising the play do not do the
piece justice, that the Bcenes depicted by
the posters are actually so much mora
Impressive when seen, as Mr. Carter
presents them In hie play, that one must
acknowledge that for once the printer's
Ink has not overdone things. This, ot
course, Is a novelty In theatrical advertis
ing. But he promised that there should
bo nothing but novelties in"The Tornado,'
and Mr. Carter has shown in the past
that he knows how to build astonishing
things for the stoge, so we will wait and.
see his new play at Ferguson's theatro
to-morrow evening, before we commont
further.
