mm Original. la tho days when Mexico was in a Chronic etato of revolution Stgnor Her rero lived on his hacienda doing his boat to avoid being entangled In any of tho various Btrlfes that succeeded ooo another for tho possession of tho government, for to bo on the wrong pldo meant death. Dona Marina, Her turn's eldest daughter, was courted by Blgnor Juan Bustaniejite, n neighbor ing ljQelenda owner who had done a great deal to establish tho government then in power. He was more than twlco Marina's age and was especially dlsagreeablo to her. But she was urged by her family to accept him on the ground that If she declined him be might seek revenge by Impugning her father's loyalty to the government. But Dona Marina loved Phlllppo Mendoza, tho son of a neighboring planter. Urged to give him up for Bustamentc, through fear sho consent ed, but not for long. Sho confessed to Bustamentc her love for Mendoza nnd bogged him to release her. Ho did so at once, with many expressions of grief and wishes for her happiness. By this courso Marina turned what had been feared for her father against her lover. Bustamentc, thinking that If he got Mendoza out of tho way Marina might yot become his wife, secretly accused his rival of plotting with one who was known to bo fomenting a now revolu tion. Mendoza was arrested and taken no ono know where. As goon sb the news of the arrest reached tho Herreras, not suspecting Bustamento, Marina Implored him to use his Influence with the president In behalf of her lover. He promised to do so and set off at onco to the capital os tensibly for tho purpose. Ho knew very woll that Mendoza would have been executed beforo his arrival, for ho had so arranged with tho government. What ho wished was to conceal his oyn part In the murder and gain credit with Marina that would benefit his suit ln;tho future. There is a law in Mexico that one executed shall bo left where he falls till friends or relatives como and take away tho body for burial. But at Men doza's execution thero was no one to claim the body. Bustamcnte had ar ranged that ho bo taken to a distant province from which tho news of his execution would bo long in reaching his friends, especially Dona Marina. Mendoza was taken out in tho gray of the morning and was stood up be fore eight soldiers, who at the word of command fired a volley at him. He foil. The commander of tho firing party took a look at tho body and saw that it had several wounds in the thorax and two in the head, any ono of which might be expected to kill him. Tho sol diers were marched away and a writ ten report handed in that Phlllppo Mondoxa was dead. .But Mendoza was not dead. Notwith standing his wounds after the firing party had marched away he revived. For a tlmo he supposed that he had awakened in another world. Yet thero above him was the same blue sky ho had lived under, and he could hear cat lie lowing. Making an effort, ho raised tttmsolf on his elbow, looked about him and down on his blood stained cloth ing. Then, making another effort, he got up and walked several miles to n hospital. He could not keep the secret that he ttad. been executed, and word soon reached thoso who bad been charged njlth his execution. Fearing that they would be blamed for neglect of duty, they proposed to shoot him again, bt bpfore they could agreo upon this course the news of the strange case reached the governor of the province Ho had been on the bench, and the only thing in tho world ho respected Was the law. He took the matter un der consideration, at last deciding that Mendoza had been executed, had been reported dead and was therefore dead. That Is, ho was dead in law. Therefore thoso who had been ordered to execute him had nothing further to do with him. Ho was without legal cxlstenco In the republic of Mexico. No further report of tho matter need bo forwarded to tho government, for thero was noth ing to be said about one who had been reported legally dead. Ono evening as Slgnor Bustamcnte was returning from n visit to the Her rera hacienda ho heard a voice from bushes beside tho road ordering him to halt He stopped, and a man step ped Into the road a short distance be fore him. His cheeks were hollow, bis Hps were thin, his eyes were wild, his face was white. Bustamento saw his rival, or what be considered hi rival's ghost "Aro you of the living or the dead?" "I am dead legally dead. But that you shalt not again have mo executed I am a firing party to execute you." The ghost raised a rifle and shot his enemy dead. When Mendoza appeared at the Her rera hacienda no one thero knew what bad become of him. Ho told tho story of his execution and that ho had exe cuted tho man who had brought' it about Ills visit was brief, and no ono except tho Herreras know that ho had been there. The slayer of Bustamento was nevor known. Soon after all this occurred a new leader of tho party op posed to tho government arose, march ed to the capital, took It, executed every moraber of tho government and was proclaimed president. Ho was nono othor than Mendoza. When it was found that tho now president was straugoly given to par doning malefactors the people said, "How can ono who is legally dend kill 'others?"

Rterulta Called For From the Rank and File of the Great Army of Penn sylvania Republicans, and a Prompt Response Is Anticipated All Along the Line, With Vlotory In November Assured. Spoclal Correspondence. Philadelphia, Sept. 29. Colonel Wesley It. Andrews, as chairman of the Republican stato com mittee, has sounded the slogan to Re publicans of Pennsylvania for the In auguration of a campaign for the clos ing days of tho stato canvass which must appoal to every stalwart Repub lican In the land. The colonel, himself a veteran of the Fremont campaigners In the cause of truo Republicanism, has called for a revival of the spirit of tho olden days, of a recruiting of the Re publican hosts as In the momorablo struggles in which tho "Wide Awake" clubs, by their partlotlsm and party fervor, stirred tho nation from end to end, and for an expression of senti ment which shall be emphasized by bringing "Old Glory" to tho front ns tho Republican forces march on to victory. Colonel Andrews has Just addressed tho following letter to each of tho chairmen of tho Republican county ommlttecs throughout Pennsylvania: A Call to Action. "Dear Sir We have reached a period in tho national campaign when party lines aro tightly drawn, the Is sues well defined, and tho voters arc rallying around the banners of their respoctlvo parties. "Republicans of Pennsylvania havo reason to bo proud of their candidates and all can consistently and cordially endorse the platform upon which they have been nominated "It devolves upon the county chair men, in tho closing days of the can vass, to marshal the Republican hosts In their respective bailiwicks, and 1 suggest that wo have an old-fashioned canvass, along tho lines of the cam paign of 1860, when tho young men of the country gathered in "WIdo Awako clubs," supplying at their own ex pense their uniforms and making demonstrations at all political meet ings in their neighborhood. "What was dono in 18G0 can bo dono now. "Tho country is fully as patriotic today. "In later years contributions have been depended upon to moot expenses, but in the old times each man not only contributed his tlmo, but also his share of the expenses of the meetings which were held. "These thoughts are suggested by the calls upon tho Republican stato committee for financial assistance to provide for meetings, with which it is not posslblo to comply. This prompts tho Inspiration to rocall tho faith of tho fathers of the Republican party, who, without outside aid of any kind, rallied everywhere and over threw the Democratic party, then strongly entrenched in power, and elected the immortal Lincoln, through whom the Union was saved. "What was done in 1860, I repeat, can be done now. "In this day, when in Philadelphia and Pittsburg and elsewhere the past Is being recalled In Founders' Week and llko celebrations, it is fitting that an old-fashioned marching and sing' lng campaign bo inaugurated to rouse the voters throughout tho length and breadth of tho stato. To Have Campaign Glee Clubs. "Additional interest will be given to the meetings in many localities if musical program shall bo arranged In connection with tho practical work of expounding the principles of tho party and discussing tho Ilvo issues of the campaign. "In such cases, you are advised to enlist the services of one or moro soloists, and, where posslblo, a quartet or gloe, to Intersperse the proceedings with musical selections. "For this purpose there will bo for warded to you a compilation of cam paign songs, written to popular tunes, which can be distributed among the audiences that all may Join in tho singing. Anthem For Pennsylvania. "In connection with this collection of songs Is presented tho new stato anthem, 'Pennsylvania,' In the chorus of which all loyal Pennsylvanlano can readily unite. "It was given with great success at the recent gathering of the Stato League of Republican clubs at Wilkes Barre, and tho convention adopted a resolution ondorslng a proposition to mako It the 'Official Song of the Key stone Btato.' Tho aim of the composer Is to give what has long been lacking, song that shall be typical of tho 1 commonwealth, and which shall be uome as affectionately associated with Pennsylvania and Pcnnsylvanlans, i wherever thoy may be, as have 'Mary- ! land. My Maryland,' 'My Old Kentucky Homo' and llko state souga to the ' citizens of tho states with which they j ire respectively Identified. , "Let this uud tho souks lauding th I party and Us candidal be sung upon I all appropriate occasions.

Wore Bry anlsm (with his superficial nnd wild cat ideas of banks, currency and finance; his hostility to all corpora tions and his determination to destroy all manufacturing industries, which ho denominates as trusts, by Inaugurat ing another Gorman and Wilson tariff bill for rovcniiQ only, and strike down tho protective principle) to dominate the country, surely tho majority of tho people would not rule. The adminis tration, with his extraordinary views of his powers as president, and with his vagaries and chimerical theories of government, would bo in a urate of chaos and tho collapse of all Indus trios, of the farmer and the wage earner, would bo such as to cause n further trend toward socialism and an archism, Keystone Gazctto.

Tho reports show that the several Granges throughout tho county, with ono or two exceptions, to no in a healthy, and prosperous condition. They also show that JIopoGiango had taken in tho largest number of now memln-ia for tho quarter just ended.
