Every Democrat owes it to his party and his citizenship to attend the coming election and urge others to go. A man may say "Well, one vote doesn't count for much," but one vote at each poll means over 5,000 in the state. Tho Business Men's League of Phila delphia has announced that it will prosecute a vigorous campaign against election frauds. Ex-Judge James Gay Gordon and Ex-District Attorney George S. Graham have been retained to man age tho legal end of the fight. It is every citizen's duty to vote. If the man who never votes only when he is coaxed or hauled to the polls were to be deprived of the right of suffrage, he would consider It a severe punishment; but there isn't much difference between tho man who cannot vote and the man who can but does not. "Farmer" Creasy declares that if he is elected state treasurer he will dis regard Stone's veto and pay the school appropriation in full, unless prevented by tho supremo court. The ablest law yers of the state consider Stone's veto illegal, and if it is, the treasurer would bo but doing his duty to disregard it. The plea of tho Quay machine is that tho ticket must be elected by a large majority In order to bolster up McKin ley and the Philippine war; but if, the state should go Republican by a large majority, McKlnley and the flag wouldn't bo In It. The victory would then bo a boasted vindication of Quay and his machine. Every farmer in the state ought to support "Farmer" Creasy for state treasurer. Ho is a farmer who tills the soil, and not a political farmer, as Gen eral Gobin, who likes to draw four sal aries at the same time, falsely alleges. Mr. Creasy has a farm of one hundred and forty acres, and he has earned his livelihood by work on the farm. Gov ernor Stone says nobody questions his honesty or his stability to make a good treasurer. What more could be want ed? So strong is the feeling against Har nett in the southwestern counties where most of the Tenth boys live that the Republican county chairmen have asked Reeder to keep him out of their counties entirely. Secretary Oster maler, of the Allegheny county organi zation, when asked a few days ago whether Barnett would speak in Pitts burg, said: "I think not, I never heard any one mention the idea of bringing Barnett here. We want big fellows or none at all." The machine has had no end of trouble with its ticket. First, Adams, the machine candidate for judge, was shown to be the associate of rascals to such an extent that he wilted and re tired. Now, Barnett, who was to turn tho state upside down on account of his dazzling military splendor, is charged with being a skulker in time of danger, who only left the safety of the ditch when the battle was over. Barnett may stay on the ticket to the finish, but he will not reach the treasurer's desk unless the voters of Pennsylvania have lost their senses. Night after night on the platform with Barnett are men, garbed in tho uniform of the Tenth, signing ditties in Harnett's praise, describing in the lower register tho blood-stained and corpse strewn plains of Luzon, and in the upper register shrilling request for votes. These songstors havo been passed off, with Colonel Barnett's connivance, as war-worn heroes from the ensanguined Orient, moved to their musical efforts by pure devotion to the gallant officer who led them against the terrified foe. It turns out that this "Barnett Quintet" is a fraud. At least two of its uniform ed members are not soldiers at all. One's occupation has been bottling beer, and another Is a professional vocalist from the vaudeyille stage. STORY OF THE PLAY. SynopiiiH of Daniel Sully's Drama, "O'llrlen, the Contractor.' 1 Mr. Daniel Sully will appear as "O'llrlen, the Contractor," Monday evening, November 6. The story of this Interesting plav Is brietly told as follows: James O'Brien, who has ob tained a charter for the construction of a railroad running through the coal and Iron districts, and uniting the Atlantic with the lake region. The completion of this road will throw into bankruptcy a rival line, which although long estab lished has been ill-managed. At the opening of the play the president and directors of tills organization are hold ing a meeting to devise means for delay ing the completion of O'Brien's road until the time allowed by his almost expired charter elapses. "They tempt his chief engineer and foreman to New York and offer them heavy salaries to quit work on the new line and bring witli them a thousand of O'Brien's laborers 011 contract at double wages for the established road. The success of this design would mean ruiu for the Irish contractor. Tho engineer, how ever, refuses these glittering offers and remains loyal to his employer; and the poor man happens to be no less a per sonage than O'Brien himself. The Wall street financiers, thus foiled in their original plan to delay the com pletion of the new road get out a court injunction on some technical point of law against any further work 011 it. They arrive on the scene at Rocky Gorge and search for tho contractor in order to serve him with the restraining papers. As O'Brien is nowhere to be found, and as time is precious, the at torney of the rival road, with the as sistance of a detective employed by them, proceed to bribe the workmen to strike. The laborer through whom this scheme is effected again happens to be O'Brien In disguise. When the strike among the men occurs it is precisely at the period in whicli the golden spike that denotes the laying of the final rail and the finishing of tho Rocky Gorge road is being driven. Induced by offers of high wages from the enemy the laborers stop work. There are two gangs of men, Italians and Irish, busily engaged building a real railroad track. O'Brien, desperate at the delay, excites the national jealousy of tho two races, praises tho Irishman's loyalty to those who have befriended him, heaps con temptuous epithets on the Italians, and finally wins tho day by calling on his countrymen not to desert O'Brien. The Irishmen grow enthusiastic under his eloquence, and go back to work on the track with such Impulsive efforts that a minute before the charter of the road legally expires tho eloquent and pa triotic laborer pulls off his false beard, and in his proper character of James O'Brien calls for three cheers for the completion of the road. This does not by any means finish the play, as in the next act, O'Brien appears in all the glory of eyoning dress at the magnate's mansion 011 Fifth Avenue, 111 answer to personal telegrams from the various members of the opposing syndi cate. asking a purchase prico on his completed road. The discovery of the loss of the fortune of Mrs. Van Buren, with whom he has fallen in love, because of the blow the completion of his line has struck to his opposers, places him in a position for serious thought. He quickly decides that sho must have her entire fortune back, and with this end in view consults with her brother, who is none other than the president of the opposition road. Through this meeting matters are pleasantly straightened out, and O'Brien receives as his reward the hand of tho woman he loves. As is usual, the play ends happily and sends the audience home with pleasant re membrances of "O'Brien, the Contrac tor." BRIEF ITEMS.

The smaller a man's mind is the less he seems to know it. For a merciless critic commend us to the unsuccessful author. The man who is In love with him self has no fear of being Jilted. The rooster Is a thly bird. He invari ably carries a comb with him. Men sometimes worship women be cause they are unable to understand them. Culture doesn't always make a gentleman. Some very large beets are cultured. Tne water shark bites a mail's leg off but the land shark merely pulls it. The man who doesn't talk has less repenting to do than the garrulous in dividual. The man who lives only to amuse himself has the hardest kind of task to perform. The frankness with which a 17 year old girl refers to herself as an old maid Is certainly amusing. The wise man never boasts of his knowledge, but the man who thinks he is wise does nothing else. A bachelor says that wise married men are often as anxious to get out of matrimony as single fools are to get In The great trouble with the average man Is that he wants to handle the rudder all the time instead of taking his turn at the oars. UNCLE CALEB'S WILL. "You mean that you can't put your self out to give your mother's brother u night's lodging!" said Caleb Cheverel, bitterly. The March wind, bearing dust and grit and bits of flying paper on its restless wings, came whistling around the corner, lifting the old man's faded comforter's ends and turning his blue nose a shade bluer still, while Mrs. Larkins, his eldest niece, stood in her doorway, filling up the aperture with her ample person in such away as to suggest the familiar legend, "No ad mittance!" Mrs. Larkins was stout and bloom ing and cherry-cheeked, dressed in sub stantial alpaca, with gay gold brooch and eardrops, which bespoke anything but abject poverty. Uncle Caleb was thin and meager and shabbily dressed, with glossy seams in his overcoat and finger-ends protruding from his worn gloves like ancient rosebuds coming out of their calyx. "I'm very sorry," said Mrs. Larkins, stiffly; "but we have but one spare room, and that is at present occupied. Of course I should be glad to do ull I could for you, but " "1 understand, I understand," said Uncle Cheverel, turning coldly away. "I'll go to my niece Jenny. I wish you a very good evening." Mrs. Larkins closed the door with a sigh of very evident relief. "I dare say Jenny will take care of him," she said philosophically. "Jenny has a smaller family than 1 have. But I don't see why he came up to London instead of staying peaceably down in Tortoise Hollow, where he belongs." Mrs. Jennie Eldertop, Mr. Cheverel's youngest niece, had a smaller family than her sister Rebecca, but then she had a smaller income as well. She had just finished a vigorous day's cleaning when Uncle Caleb was announced. "Oh, drat the man!" said Mrs. Elder top, wringing her parboiled lingers out of a basin of steaming soapsuds. "What sends him here, just now of all times in the world?" And she went down stairs ungra ciously enough to the Btreet door, where her huaband was welcoming the old stranger. "Come in, Uncle Cheverel!—come in!" said honest Will Eldertop. "We're all upside down here —we mostly are, now that the spring cleaning is going on. But there's room for you if .you don't mind the children and their noise and a little smell of whitewash in the spare room. Mrs. Eldertop's welcome was by no means so cordial. She looked, to use a common expression, "vinegar and darning needles" at the visitor, while in her inmost soul she calculated the probability of the cold boilei ham and turnips holding out for once more at supper. "Come, Jenny, don't scowl so," said Mr. Eldertop, when Uncle Caleb had gone upstatrß to wash his hands and face. "Ain't he your uncle?" "A good for nothing old vagabond," said Mrs, Eldertop, acidly, "without a half-penny laid up ahead." "For all that he's your guest," said her husband, "and you're bound to be civil to him. And here's his overcoat now, with a zig-zag rent in it. Just mend Tt while you are waiting for the kettle to boil." "I won't!" said Mrs. Eldertop. "All right," retorted her lord and master. "Then I'll take It next door to Alexia Allen to mend." Now, Miss Allen, the talloress, who lived In the adjoining house, was pretty and buxom to look upon, and Mrs. El dertop had nursed comfortably a jeal ousy of her for the 'aat four years. "You'll do no such thing," said Jenny, tartly. "Hand it here." And she threaded a needle with a black silk and thrust her finger into a thimble, very much as a determined crusader of old might have donned sword and shield for some encounter with the Moslem. "What's that?" said Mr. Eldertop; for a folded paper fell from the pocket of the garment as his wife turned it up side down. "Some tomfoolery or the other," an swered Mrs. Jenny, brusquely. "I fancy you're mistaken," said Mr. Eldertop. "It's the rough draft of a will." "But he has got nothing to leave," shrieked Mrs. Eldertop. "I'm not so certain of that," retorted Will. "Just look here, Jenny! 'I give and bequeath to my two beloved nieces, in equally divided parts, the' sum of £IO,OOO, at present invested in consols, and—" "Go on!" said Mrs. Eldertop, breath lessly. "Read the rest." "There is no rest," said her husband. "That's the end of the paper. It's only a rough draft, I tell you. And now, what's your opinion of Uncle Cheverel's fortunes?" "He's been a miser all along," said Mrs. Eldertop, her face growing radi ant. "Making up poor mouths and traveling around the country with all this money in the funds. A regular old character —Just like those one reads about in novels. Put it back. Will— put it back. We've 110 business to he prying into Uncle Caleb'H secrets; hut what a blessing it is he came here in stead of stopping ut Rebecca Larkins." And when Uncle Cheverel came down stairs he was surprised at the sweet smiles with which his niece Jenny wel comed him, "Been mending my coat, eh?" said Uncle Cheverel. "Thank'ee kindly, Jenny. I caught it 011 a nail yesterday, and I was calculating to sew It up my self, when I could borrer a needle and thread." "I'm glad to be of use, Uncle Caleb," beamed Mrs. Eldertop. "Johnny, put on your cap and run to the grocer's for a smoked mackerel for your uncle's breakfast. I hope you found your room comfortable, Uncle Caleb?" Before she slept that night Mrs. El dertop put on her bonnet and shawl and ran round to the Larkins' mansion to Impart her wonderful tidings to Sister Rebecca. "You don't say so," cried out the as tonished matron. "Gospel truth!" said Mrs. Eldertop. "I saw it with my own eyes." "He must come here," said Mrs. Lar kins, resolutely. "Not If I know it," said Mrs. Elder top. "He's my guest and my guest he shall remain." "But if I'm to share equally with you," said Mrs. Larkins, "I ought to show him some attention, the dear, generous-hearted old man." "Lest he should alter his will," phrewdly remarked Sister Jenny. "Ypu arways were a worldly creature, Becky!" 1 "No more than yourself!" said Mrs. 1 I.arkins, bristling up. "But it's my , family I am thinking of, Jenny. I'll tell you what —I'll come around and see him to-morrow." "But don't you breathe a syllable about the will," said Mrs. Eldertop, In a mysterious whisper. "Oh, not for worldß," said Mrs. Lar kins, fervently. During the next week Uncle Cheverel was overwhelmed with civilities. On Thursday a new suit of clothes arrived, with Mrs. Larktna' best love and com pliments. On Friday Mrs. Larkins came with an open barouche to take dear Uncle Caleb for a drive In the park. And on Saturday Mrs. Eldertop burst into tears and declared she should never be happy again If her mother's only brother didn't pledge himself then and there to make his future home with herself and Will. Uncle Caleb looked a little puzzled. "Well," said he, "If you really make a point of it—but I was intending to meet Cousin John at Gravesend." "Dear uncle, promise me to stay here always," cried Mrs. Eldertop, hyster ically. "Just as you say. Niece Jenny," as sented the old man, complacently. Mrs. Eldertop felt that Bhe had car ried her point. But when Mr. and Mrs. Larktns came on Sunday afternoon to press a similar petition, Uncle Caleb opened his eyes. "My Importance seems to have 'gone up' In the market," he observed quaint ly. "I never was In such demand among my relatives before. But I can't be in two places at once, that's plain." And he decided to remain with Mrs. Eldertop, greatly to the indignation of the Larkins family, who did not hesi tate to hint boldly at unfair advantages and undue Impartiality. But just as Mrs. Larktns was rising to depart, with her handkerchief to her eyes, little Johnny Eldertop came clamoring for a piece of paper to cut a kite tall from. "Go along," said Mrs. Eldertop, Im patiently. "We have no paper hers. Go to Amelia." "Hold on, little chap—hold on!" said Uncle Caleb, fumbling in his overcoat pocket—he had been just about starting for a walk when the Larkins party ar rived—"here's a bit as is of no use to nobody." And he produced Ihe "rough draft" and bestowed It on Johnny. "One side's written on," saM he, "and t'other ain't. It was lying on the floor in Mr. Watkin's law offlct. when I stepped in to see If Joseph Hall was employed there as porter still. An old chum of mine Hall was in Tortoise Hol low. I can't bear to see even a bit of paper waated, so I axed the clerk if It was of any use. He said no—it was only a draft of Dr. Falcon's will. Dr. Falcon made a new will every six months, he said, so I just picked it up and put It In my pocket. Everything comes In use once in seven years, they say, and this Is just right for little Johnny's kite tail." Mrs. Larkins looked at Mrs Eldertop, Mr. Eldertop stared into the spectacled eyes of Mr. Larkins. Uncle Caleb chuckled benevolently aa little Johnny skipped away with the piece of paper which had been freight ed with such wealth of anticipation. The Larkinses took leave without any unnecessary formula of adleux, and Mrs. Eldertop took occasion to tell Uncle Caleb that perhaps he had better prosecute his original design of the Grave Send visit. "Because we're expecting company to-morrow," Bald she, "and our beat room will be wanted for a while. And." She added within herself, "I will take gocaj care H shan't 'be empty again Just At present." So Uncle Caleb Cheverel went to Gravesend, where Cousin John waa as poor and warm-hearted as himself, and lie was never Invited to return to Lon don again. Five years later Uncle Caleb depart ed this life and left behind him £20.- 000 in consols—willed to John Clark. To his "dear nieces," Jane Eldertop and Rebecca Larkins, he left £5 each to pay for the trouble he put them to when he visited them. To say that there was joy In the nieces' households when the will was read would be to say What Is false, for, If the old man could have guessed at all the unkind things that would be uttered regarding him, I doubt if he would have left them even £5 each. Quail In a Print Shop. Yesterday morning a quail flew Into the Star office, perched himself upon the press and assumed a look of perfect satisfaction.

Sambo Can Already Do Many Things His Trainer Has Taught Him Hut He Has Not Yet I.earued to Talk —An Interesting Orang Outang. As nu appropriate climax to a series of experiments In educating a monkey Mr. J. L. Duck, now In Boston, will try to mnkc the monkey talk. The animal Is one of the greatest curiosities In the simian line ever seen. The point to which bis education has been carried Is wonderful. He rejoices In the name of Sambo, and Is a Bornean of the orang-outang species. Sambo eats at the table with as much eompluceucy us a Chrlstlon, and be haves better at his meals than some Christians. In describing his method of teaching Sambo how he must use a spoon Mr. Buck explained that he placed the food In u very deep cup; Sambo's natural intelligence at once showed him the use of a spoon; but he at first made the mistake of bringing the provender from the depth of the cup by means of the spoon and then laying down on the table to be grubbed with his lingers. Mr. Buck cured Sambo of tills habit by placing a hungry monkey at the tuble beside him. When Sambo would lay It down the hungry one would snatch It away. After a while Sambo saw the point, and foiled the thief by carrying the food directly from the cup to his mouth by means of the spoon. The accomplishment acquired there was no more trouble. Sambo was taught the value of cloth ing by being left for a time In a cold place and afterward taken in and warmly clothed. In this way tlie ad vantage of wearing clothes soon be came apparent to Ills monkey mind. What caused Mr. Buck most perplex ity was how to get Sambo to wear a cap, for he seemed to have a rooted antipathy to any kind of headgear. The trainer was almost 011 the point of giv ing up, when one day he noticed that flies were annoying the monkey very much. When they were particularly persistent around his head Sambo would pull up his coat to protect his poll. Inspiration came to Mr. Buck Daubing a little molasses on Sambo's head he left him for a time to be tor mented by the flies, and then placed a cap over his head to show him the use of a covering. Sambo realized the util ity of a cap at once nnd has worn It without protest ever since. By these methods, and wlth'ont the use of the whip that IR considered so indispensable by most trainers of ani mals, Sambo's education was carried on. He can dress himself without assis tance. putting on his shoes nnd stock ings as carefully as an orderly boy. at meal times carrying his chair to the table and sitting up like a regular recognized member of the family, eat ing his meals decorously and daintily, with his napkin tucked under his chin, nnd behaving. In short, with the best of table manners. (Sambo.) Although Sambo is hardly of an age to grasp the advantage of speech, his trainer considers that even 11 year of unavailing effort will not be time wasted, as he is confident that as Sam bo grows older he will learn the lan guage. At Ills present age, 2 years. Sambo Is very nearly as far advanced as most babies, as lie uses the words "Mamma" nnd "Come back." Mrs. Buck has petted Sambo to such nu ex tent that if she leuves the room he will cry continually "Mamma," and on her reappearance will say distinctly, "Come back." ARROWS FROM THE QUIVER.
