Representative Wilson, of Westmore land county, after much dubitation. yesterday reluctantly named Mr. John R. Bryne, of Scottdale, as the person ' who had offered him $5,000 to cast his j vote for M. S. Quay for United States j senator. Mr. Bryne was the Republican candidate for senator in tho Westmore- -1 land district. It is not probable that the sessions of the bribery investigating committee t will be much further prolonged. The f committee has succeeded in bringing to (: light a mass of testimony to show that I: corrupt inducement was offered in the shape of cash and preferment to mem- *' bers of the legislature to procure their votes for M. S. Quay for United States senator and for the passage of the Mc- t Carroll jury bill. The committee has not been able to i trace the bribe money back to the J pockets from which it was brought 1 forth for purposes of corruption, nor to 1 uncover any instance were bribery was actually accomplished. But it has ( done enough to show the infamous \ means by which it has been sought to newly impose upon the people of Penn- t sylvania a repudiated and discredited ' public servant. Where the work of the committee shall end the work of the courts of jus tice should begin. If the people are to be first robbed by machine plunderers, and if afterwards their cliosen represent atives are to be seduced and swerved from their sworn duty by the division among them of the proceeds of the rob bery, our scheme of self-government will be turned into a reproacli and a rotten ness. For a Seven Month*' .School Term. From the Philadelphia Press. The measure before the Pennsylvania legislature, proposing an increase of the minimum school term from six to seven months, will probably become a law. There are opulent school districts in the rural sections of the state that do not accord a fair proportion of the year to the education of their children, and this condition will influence legislation. If there is necessity for nine months' schooling in each year for towns and cities it is only fair to presume that to a reasonable degree the advantages should be given children of the country dis trict. In 1872 the minimum school term was made live months, and in 1887 six months. Last year over 800 school dis tricts in Pennsylvania, representing some 200,000 children, only had six j months 1 terms of school, and in a ma jority of these districts there were suf ficient funds in the several treasuries to have had the additional month of schooling in each district. The state now contributes live and one-half million dollars per year toward the support of the public schools, and through the new method of dividing the appropriation authorized by the legis lature of 1897, the rural districts or townships of the state receive increased allowance to what was before paid them. In view of the increased appropriation to the country districts, it was reasonable t® expect that the taxpayers so favored might help themselves by adding to their school terms, and thus contribute pro portionately to their own good.

Economy in .ill things is often ovoi looked, and if only more considerntioi were si veil to this subject quite a con bidet-able sum of money might be savei annually. The careless manner it which a large number of ladies trea their gloves is an instance in poiu and perhaps the following hints ma; serve to show how the reasonable can of kid gloves would result in a reduc tiou of expenditure:— In the lirst place, it may be pointet out that rough handling is specialty disastrous to kid gloves, and it 'ver; often happens that a new pair is spli ami ruined by jerking them on in i careless fashion. Always put on t new pair of I:i<l gloves for the firs time long enough before they are to !>• j worn to allow in due deliberation it the task. When a pair of liue glove are bought the purchaser should insis that they be fitted on in the shop then if there are any flaws they will in detected before the goves are paid fo and taken away. In putting on a glove be careful b get each linger straight. Coax eael one 011 by rubbing gently with tin thumb and first linger until the finger; are down to the very ends. In taking the gloves off turn tin wrist over the lingers and take liold o the ends of the lingers through tin wrist. It wears a glove out badly 1< pull it off by catching hold of tin linger tips. Pull the glove into shupi and lay aside carefully. Silk shouh be kept to match each shade, auc gloves should be mended as soon as j i break appears, for the old proverb "J stitch in time saves nine" is especially appropriate to these articles of attire Glove mending is delicate work, wliiel requires both skill and dexterity, am when well done pays admirably for tin : pains taken. Glove powder shouh. 1 form one of the adjuncts to every toi let table, and a pretty glove stretchei another. Buttoning gloves should never bf done in a hurry. The wrist should be carefully and gently pulled straight and the buttons insinuated gently ink the holes. Use a glove buttoner al ; ways, it ruins both the buttonhole* and the linger tips to button their j without. After purchasing a new pair ol gloves always sew the buttons on be j for wearing them. The annoyance ol; having the buttons drop off will tliec ! be averted. —Woman's Life. Newest Dfoicnn in Hlf>ve*.

Keep your children busy at some wholesome work or play, and this is more to the young mind than long homilies on vice, which only tend to direct their attention to it. Ily occupy ing their time every minute of the day they will be more thoroughly helped uud cleansed than would be possible in auy other manner. The majority of parents do not re alize the importance of the duty laid upon them or else they are too lazy or incapable to attend to it. The first duty of the rich is to be Industrious and to inculcate habits of industry in their children. If they are taught to keep constantly busy in some useful and ennobling employment. the chances of their evolution into honor able men. and women are a million times increased. The making of collections and the hard study of almost any branch of natural history are likely to interest children. The making of machines, the intricacies of music, the manage ment of a printing press, are all useful in keeping the young mind occupied in a wholesome, healthy manner. The Girl Who Can Draw Damons. The young woman who can draw her own designs for embroidering and painting Is fortunate. In this way she secures something original, and by buying the real flowers with which to match her silks and paints gets natur al flowers and not imaginary ones. It is after all a bit difficult to Improve upon nature in the matter of foliage! fruits and blossoms. A handy utensil for cleaning knives is formed of a wooden handle having a flat umlersurface. on which a sec- 1 lion of cork is cemented to assist in applying the polishing powder to tin blades.

If the elixer of life was ever discov ered, certainly tlie suinnier shirt waist lias been dipped in it. Every season h predicted as its last, and each succes sive season sees it resurrected in brighter hues and greater variety than ever before. The women said, when it was hinted that large sleeves would he discarded and tight ones the mode. "That kills the shirt waist. As soon as you put tight sleeves in it then it begins to break away at the arm holes and becomes useless. Last year's medium sized sleeves proved satisfactory, and this year's first display look as though they might he proof against any ripping or giving away process. Wliite promises to lie prime favorite in the summer shirt waist. This may lie accounted for by the terrible experi eiiec in pale violets, blues and pinks, that have returned front the laundry a muddy white aud utterly unfit for wear in street or house. The washable silk wnist. which gave such satisfaction last year, promises to he greatly in demand for tlie coming season. Women Worker* in England. The prevalent idea lias been forsomc time that the typical English woman is. almvc* all things, domestic, and it lias been mentioned that the pushing, bustling, fin do siecle American girl might profitably study the shrinking, clinging femininity of her English cousins. The American woman bus al so proudly claimed that she was the pioneer in women's occupations ami that there are more trades and profes ! siotts open to women in America than anywhere else on the globe. A book just published in England, I ttpou perusal, will soon take this con i celt out of iter. Among the numerous occupations may be uoted the follow j ing: Feminine architects, fanners, plum : liers and gardeners. Women divers.cat I drivers, pilots and letter-carriers tig ! tire conspicuously. There was a time when a thirty-mile tramp would have terrified any woman not bred in Eng land. but the present rage for golflug ; has altered all that, and we may soon see American girls valiantly earning their living as letter-carriers, having received their training on the golf 1 links.

Verne's granddaughter Horteuse was betrothed to M. Moran, t became necessary to celebrate the invasion by a little family supper. But when Mine. Verne had counted hem all, she found, to her horror, that hey numbered thirteen. She be thought her to invite M. Roden, the •lire, who had christened little Hon 'en sc. So M.

Ami now all was well again. The ladies were adding the finishing '.ouches to their toilettes in the dress ng room, when suddenly screams were leard to resound through the house. The maiden aunt. Mile, liosine, had .'aught her dress on fire. It was ex tinguished before she was hurt; but lie dress was spoiled, her nerves up iot. and she could not and would not •einnin to the supper. Mine. Verne was In despair. Sud lenly she remembered her notary. A •arriage was at*the door. She tossed in a hood aud shawl and hurried iu ;o it. It was only five minutes' ride to lie building in which the notary's ifiice was located—a many-storied edi lee, of which he occupied the second loor. On the first wore situated tlie apart nents of M. Moran—Hortense's he rot bed husband. As she hurried past heir door Mine. Verne glanced toward hem and saw a lady dressed in black ipeaklng to a servant, who, at the mine instant, shut the door in her 'ace. Mine. Verne, having mounted the itairs, was doomed to a disappoint uent. The notary was in, but he was uiffering from an attack of the gout, -lowever he could give her the-direc ion, to a quortohzieme, who, if he was lisengaged, would be happy to hire limself out for supper time. As she reached the foot of the stairs, lowever, she paused. A woman, lressed in black, sat upon the lower >ne, rocking herself to and fro and lioaniiig. She touched the figure upon .s shoulder and said: "My poor child, vhat is the matter?' "I have come from the country; I im an orphan; I have no relatives; I •ame to find a friend who promised me everything; I know no one here, k'esterdny 1 spent my last sou. Is here anything f'-r me but the river? Suddenly an idea flashed upon the nadame's mind. "At least you shall earn your sup >er," she said. "Come with me." She hurried the girl into the carriage md drove away with her, explaining is they rode the emergency in which the found herself. "You will wear a dress of my grand laughter's, she said. "A black lace vliich may be thrown over your own. And with these words she led the jirl into her home upstairs into her iwn apartment, where she adorned her n haste and led lier out to the table lie lovllest guest there —loviler far •veil than the golden-haired Ilortense. Absorbed in her duties as hostess, tfadame Verne did noi notice, as the fibers did, a strange tiling that took ilaee as M. Moran seated himself and ;hineed toward the strange guest. As heir eyes met each turned deadly pale, md each seemed to And it impossible o look away. Once only did the strange girl speak n a whisper to ..lm. Verne. "This is a betrothal feast, madam*?" "Yes, my child." "Your granddaughter, the beautiful 'oung lady yonder, is to marry M. )etave Moran?" "Precisely; in two months.' After this she said nothing more. At last they were about to leave the able, and the old grandfather arose, le had something to say to the young •ouple—kind admonitions to him who vas about to take her into liis keep ng; but lie ended thus; j "But I give her to you gladly, my j lenr Octave, for I know you to be an | lonorable man; and I believe you will ! ;ive her a heart as pure and fresh and til unwritten as the one she gives to j 'ou, a heart worthy of her acceptance." j As he uttered the last sentence Oe ave Moran had slowly turned his face, .s though attracted by son* mesmeric nfluenee. toward the stranger. Their •yes had met and fixed in a strange ' itare; the other guests were all star ing at them. Suddenly Octave Moran started to lis feet and dashed out of the room. There were thirteen at the table. Something flashed into the hand of lie pale woman, at whom all gazed , ind she fell forward upon the table, i When they lifted her they found a ] lagger buried in her heart. | Death had been more prompt with lis thirteen than usual.
