FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 20, 1807. Mnrtin in the Governor's Cabinet. From the Philadelphia City und State. In common with the rest of the state, Philadelphia politically has been thrown into a condition of amazement by the i extraordinary changes in the executive , department in Ilarrisburg which cul- j ininated in the appointment of David j Martin as secretary of the common wealth in place of General Frank Boeder. I The governor's falling out with Quay has I ended in a practical discharge of the | Quay men In the gubernatorial cabinet. ! The gauntlet has been thrown down for a bitter contest in the Republican party at the next election of governor and United States senator, the like of which 1 perhaps this state has never known. For a few days after the political dif- : ferences at Ilarrisburg became known, j popular opinion among the respectable and independent voters of this city favor- | ed the governor. His vetoes of the per- ' nicious bills fostered in the last legis- j lature were still in the public mind, and , the people did not agree with Senators j Penrose and Quay that the reason given I for requesting the resignation of Secre- ! tary Reeder and Deputy Attorney-Gen- ! eral Elkin was a trivial one. These oilicials had signed an indem nity bond for §20,000 to reimburse State ; Treasurer Haywood for money paid out to men employed without authority for ] the plain purpose of paying political : debts. Mr. Haywood apparently did not object to paying out state money for un- ; authorized purposes, but he wanted to be personally guaranteed against loss. This a number of Quay politicians, in cluding General Reeder, Mr. Elkin, and others, agreed to do. The bill providing for thoso places was vetoed, and Governor Hastings strongly objected to members of his own official family indulging in such quos- ' tionable practices. Thus, when thogov ernor stepped out in defiant opposition to the Quay element, he was applauded ; by those who deplore the present condi tion of affairs in this boss-ridden state. > Now the applause has suddenly ceas- j ed. The. governor has seen fit to ignore j the better class of citizens and has ] chosen for his new secretary of the com- | monwealth a petty politician of the worst I type, opposed to Quayisin but closely | akin to it, the former undisputed master j of Philadelphia, David Martin. This i astute politician has accepted with thanks, and tho people are aghast. Perhaps Martin has an equal claim to office with Messrs. Quay and Penrose; but something better was expected from the governor. So surprised were men identified with the city's true Interests that they would not venture to express opinions, and the opinions of politicians identified with either Quay or anti-Quay faction are valueless. Some advantage may result from the fight, but It seems doubtful, and there are those who say that the wily Mr. Martin will feather his own nest, make peace with Quay, and that this state will be further than ever from redemption. How long will the people endure being thus plundered, tricked and ignored? Go on Record at the Ballot-Box. From the Wilkesbarrc Newsdealer. Will it bo natural, do you suppose, for tho foreigners, whether of the blood of those shot down by assassins, or any other nationality, to vote the Republi can ticket this fall? They may be ignor ant. and unintelligent, but they know that the sheriff who led tho murderous work is a Republican, that nine-tenths of the deputies who did the cowardly shooting were Republicans, that the Republican press of the state laud and defend thu action of the sheriff and dep uties. The foreigners know all this from information, and as men they can not be true to themselves unless they record at the polls their votos against the Republican party. -VIIY HE IS A BACHELOR. Romance of a St Louis Stroot-Car Conductor. le Fell In Love with u Fair rumen- Rer WhoMe Marriage Interrupted IIIm Drenin Hut Not His .Sim ple Faithfulness. We are not likely to think of romance in connection with the anan who rings up fares. lie is mortal like ourselves, however, and, being so, is a target for Cupid's darts. There is a tall, man vhose hair and mustache show the frosts of age, who couJd tell an interes't ing story of an unprofitable attachment if he would. You remember the tender little love story that appeared in magazine form a year or two ago and which maidens cried over and ladies speculated upon at afternoon teas? It was as tantalizing in its way as Frank Stockton's vexa tious question, the lady or the tiger? Did Luke know? the ladies asked each other, and the answer was according to the temperament of the speaker, for the author had left it a mystery. Luke, a bluff, lovable backwoodsman, tells a comrade about the sojourn of a family of wealth and culture in his neighbor hood one summer long before, and about the lovely girl of queer actions. Everyone who reads the story us the author makes Luke tell it knows that the girl loved Luke. There it ends, with no promise of hope's fruition. The gray-haired conductor was tell ing the story to a friend who stood with him on the platform the other day. "That man is one in a thousand," j said the friend afterwards to a St. Louis Republic reporter. "lie has the high est kind of an opinion of women. He bows at their shrine as he would at that of a far-away saint, lie is a bachelor and always will be on account of the strangest kind of a love story you ever heard. "11c is a college man and has a lot of energy, though you might think he was lacking in anything like ambition. After he graduated from college there was no opening in professional or busi ness channels to him, for he was a poor boy who had worked his way through college. "The support of his mother and a younger sister then devolved upon liim. j He had a chance to get work as a street j car conductor, and as that was the only HER LAST RIDE. thing that presented itself, he, like a sensible man, accepted it. lie had been at work not more than three months j when he noticed a sweet-faced girl who 1 rode on his car two or three times u week. She was one of the girls who radiate sunshine. She smiled ut every one, including the conductor, llis life had been a hard and lonely one, und it is no wonder that the sight of the gracious girl and the delicate scent of her favorite perfume set him dreaming. He began to think of the days when he was established in a profession and j might meet this girl as an equal. He noted the birdlike turn of her head and the tendrils of hair on her neck with a : lover's delight. If he had been more of j a clod and less of a dreamer thi .. , wouldn't have happened, but as it was he was made ecstatically happy by the ' opportunity to raise her umbrella or pick up her handkerchief. "One week he missed her. Another passed and she did not appear. He overheard a conversation one day that gave him the information he desired. She was ill at her home. He learned the i address. Next day some exquisite red roses cheered the sight of the sick girl. No card accompanied them. Every day the gift was repeated. ! "lie did not see her again until one evening when she returned from the city with a number of friends. "When the merry party alighted the pretty girl looked shyly ut the con ductor. She had a warm heart that often led her to forget the less im portant conventionalities. She had bade adieu to the cat at home. Why I not to this quiet, stern-looking man I who, she vaguely remembered, had ul | ways been kinder than his duties re quired? llesides, she was so happy to i night that her heart overflowed with I kind impulses. 'Good-by,' she said, softly. 'I shall not rid*; cn your lixv; again soon. We go to Cleveland to live, j I was married to-day!* "The hand pressure that returned hers was gentle and respectful. The man's face was ashen, lie said not a word. He was surprised. 'Perhaps I ; should not. have done that,' she whis- I pered to the bridegroom. 'Nothingyou I do could be wrong, dear,' he whispered, i and neither thought of the conductor j again. I know him well, and I was | at a lons to account for his moron ness j and the premature whitening of his j hair. It was long afterward thr.t he 'old mo this in a burst of confidence. It was the death of the man's an: bit ion. That happened 15 years ago. He is a street ear conductor still, | robably al ways will be. He seems to have no de sire to become anything else."

PARROT SELLS PAPERS. How a lirlffht Bird Earns Ills Living: In New York. Grandpa Jenks' farm, where Flo and Harry were visiting, was not far from New York city. One morning Grandpa Jenks said: "Ilarry, to-day we'll take Frolic to see a parrot that is smart enough to earn his own living." "Where shall we find such a parrot?" cried Ilarry. "Every day, on the New York side of the ferry, I pass a place where a par rot does a thriving business," was Grandpa Jenks' reply. After dinner Grandpa and Flo and Ilarry und Frolic went over the ferry inlo New York and there, near the ferry, almost at once the children no ticed a throng of men and boys around a little booth at a street corner and all seemed to be watching something curious and amusing. As they drew nearer they saw that the booth was a news stand—a news stand that ap peared to be tended only by a fine green parrot. The green parrot walked about over the piles of newspapers, calling out: "Paper, sir? Paper? Extra Sun?" Grandpa Jenks and his young people stopped to look on. Every few mo ments some man would come up. take a paper and toss two cents into a little box upon which the green parrot kept an eye all the while. Atsueh time the bird stopped, nodded his head and said: "Thankee." Then he began phouting again: "Paper? Extra Sun?" "Is it possible, that the parrot keeps the stand alone?" cried Ilarry. "Sup pose somebody should cheat him by taking more than one newspaper with out paying for them, how would he know?" "No one better try It," answered grandpa. "Once a boy tried to steal two Telegrams, but the parrot pounced upon him and gave him such a pecking and mauling that he was glad to drop them. But of course the parrot has a partner. Don't you see him?" In the rear of the booth there was a lad of about Harry's age. He had noth ing to do, however, but watch the papers and the box, and to come forward and make change now and then. Grandpa gave Frolic some pennies, and pointed to the two piles of papers, "PAPER, SIR? PAPER?" to show that he wanted one of each. Frolic knew how to buy tilings. Be side he had been observing the scene closely, lie Hew from Harry's shoul der to the stand, and in bis blue cloak and cap. and hopped along on one leg, holding the money tightly clasped iu his other claw. The parrot newsdealer was very much surprised to see his queer cus tomer. and was on the point of driving liim off. But when he saw the other parrot gravely drop the pennies into the box, just as all his patrons did, he smoothed down his feathers again und said "Thankee," as usual, while Frolic dragged away a paper from each pile in his beak. Ilarry and Frolic were talking now with the boy, who told them the bird's name was Ned, and Frolic thought he would be friendly, too. "How do you do," he called out politely. The other bird looked him over sharply and then croaked out: "No time to chat! You clear out! Paper, sir? Extra Sun? Telegram ?" Presently, a messenger boy stopped to watch the droll newsdealer. Ned's bright eyes always saw whatever was going on. As soon as he caught sight of the boy's uniform, he screamed: "Hie, Buttons, hurry along! No idling here!" "Oh, please!" put in Frolic. Ned cocked his eye at him. "You clear out!" he croaked. Then, turning to the messenger boy again, he re marked: "Come, hurry along! Hurry along!" till the little fellow had to go.— Mary Catharine Crowley, in Little Men and Women. Rescued by Hln Sister. New Jersey boasts of a ten-year-old girl who is both brave and quick-witted. She lives on a farm, and while she was playing with her little brother, uged four, the latter fell down the well. Waiting but an instant to call her mother, the girl seized the rope that is used to pull up the pail, and jumped down. When she struck the svater, £o feet below, she caught her brother by the hair and hoisted him into the buck et. Then she held on to the rope while her mother turned the windlass, soon bringing the two children to the sur face, none the worse except for a thor ough wetting. Little Girl's Clever GUCMN.
