I 4UN l AN HONEST JUDICIARY Judge Yerkes' Declaration Aa to th* Duty of Members of the Bench. In his acceptance of the Fusion nom ination for the supreme court, Hon. Harman Yerkes thus farcibly writes: "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 12th inst. informing me of my nomination by the Union Party for the office of justice of the supreme court of Penn sylvania. "This nomination coming to ma as the unanimous expression of confidence from a convention composed of repre- : sentative Republicans of the highest | character, I regard as a very great honor. "In reply to your expressed belief that, if elected. I will fill the office to the satisfaction of the people of the commonwealth, regardless of political affiliations. I can only respond in the - terms of my acceptance of the nomina tion for the same office by the Demo cratic party. My election will not be a partisan victory. The office for which you have named me is non-political, and I would belie my record of 18 years upon the bench and would betray and insult my supporters if, in the event of an election, I could degrade myself by cherishing a partisan or political purpose in the execution of any duty j of my office, or If I should stoop so low as to allew myself or my office to be used to the prejudice of or to the favor of any party, class, Interest, enemy or friend. "As a judicial officer I never have considered any man's position, class, trade or occupation, circumstances, friendships or enmities, and, God will ing, I never will. My only pledge is that, if elected. will devote all ray j strength and ability to a faithful dis charge of the duties of my office. I will obey and uphold the constitution. I will endeavor to Interpret the law justly, relying upon its sound princi ples. following established rules, and giving due weight to reasonable pre- : cedents. "Whatever opposition may he incited against my candidacy by any class, corporation, organization or individ uals. as a result of a strict adherence In the past to these just rules of Ju dicial duty and conduct, I shall observe j thorn. I have an abiding confidence that the whole people of Pennsylvania, realizing at this time as never before the necessity of upholding the admin istration of the courts in promoting law and order, will endorse her judi ciary in every effort to maintain the highest standard of duty and impar tiality. "I accept your nomination upon the assurance that the contest for my elec tion will be made not for partisan ad vantage but in the interest of all Penn sylvania. "With great respect, I am, "Your obedient servant, An Ancient Cnrcrn. Father Karner, who is assisted ' financially in his underground research es by the Austrian Imperial Academy i of Science, reports that he has discov ered in Eseito, In Hungary, nn artificial cavern of large size, with rooms, pas sages and steps. From writings and cuttings on the walls it appears that in 3680 many Hungarian nobles took ref uge here. A woman's name, with the date 1738, is also visible. On the ground in the lowest vault a prehistor ic urn, with fragments of other an cient vessels, was found, showing that j the cavern had been occupied in an- i dent times. I'an-Amrlcttn Kxpnsltion.

Chevalier, the well known artist who accompanied the late Duke of Kdinburgh on many of his travels, was once going from Dunedtn to Lyttelton, New Zealand, by steamer. Anxious to catch the earliest glimpse of the coast he went on deck at dawn and was alarmed to see that the vessel was beading straight on to the laud. Calling the officer's attention to the fact, he was told that It was only a fog hank. The artist maintained his j point, but the second officer looked i and confirmed his mate. The artist then said: "Well, gentle men, I will back my artist's eye against your sailor's eye, and I say that what you mistake for a fog bank is a low range of hills, and there Is a range of mountains appearing above them." But he was only laughed at, until the captain coming on deck found in the growing light that the artist was right and the seamen wrong. The ves sel was out of its course, and there waa only Just time to avert disaster. The helinsmuu was dismissed In dis | grace and the course given to the new steersman, but the vessel's head still I pointed landward—the compass was all i wrong. | The cause was discovered later. A commercial traveler had brought n box i of magnets on board and deposited | them in a stern cabin, causing what might have been a fatal deflection of the compass. I To return to the question of inter pretation, the artist was dealing with the appearances which his eye was trained to see and his mind to inter pret. A speck on the horizon might hare remained a mere speck to him long after the sailors had interpreted the speck into n vessel of doflnlte rig. There can be little doubt that the trained eye is accompanied by a sort of mental seeiug, an Instinct outrun ning optics. THE CHICKEN YARD. | No henhouse that is frequently dust ed with lime will be infested with lice. I.line purifies the quarters and dries them. It is cheap and should be used ' plentifully. Always have the nests so low that the hens can step In rather than be 1 obliged to jump down. If the fowls get too fat, opts as a sin gle food are one of the best grains that can he given to lessen fat. Mating birds to breed to a feather is a high art, to be ucqulred only by long practice, aided by close study. A flat perch is beat because of being tbe most comfortable to the feet and the best support to the breast. There are three breeds of fowls that are pre-eminently valuable us egg pro ducers. These are the Mlnorcas, Leg horns and Black Spanish. A medium sized active nmle Is twice as valuable as one that Is large and extra heavy. If large size and weight are desired, select large hens, but the male should be active and vigorous. When a fowl has canker and the. mouth and throat are sore and ulcer atcd, wrap a soft rag around a lend pencil, dampen It slightly, dip in chlo rate of potash and swab out the mouth clean and inject a drop of turpeutlue. W hat Comes After SulcideT On the whole, it is something of a pity that some of these fellows who cut their throats, blow out their brains or swallow poisons in order to rid them selves of their troubles cannot come back, so they might tell others who are troubled Whether relief lies in that di rection or not. It Is more than proba ble that what they then could tell would deter other reckless men and women from following In their foot steps, and for that, if for no other rea aon. their retifrn would be welcome. As Hamlet Implied, it is better to bear the ills we know than to tiy to those we know not of, and there isn't much doubt that the suicides are not long In finding that out.—Philadelphia Inquir er. The IVHCK Legend. Almost all fruits and flowers have their legend. One about the peach co DIPS from Japan and tells how a poor, pious old couple were searching for food by the roadside. The woman found n peach, which she would not eat of, though starving, till she could share it with hor husband. He cut it exactly in half, when an infant leaped forth. It was one of the gods, who had. he said, accidentally fallen out of the peach orchard of heaven while playing. He told them to plant the stone of the peach, and It brought them happiness, friends and wealth. How a Plant Protects Itnelf. One little plant of South Africa pro tects Itself by assuming a curious like ness to a white lichen that covers the rocks. The plant has sharp pointed green loaves. These are placed close together, with their points upward, and on the tip of each leaf Is a little white, scaly sheath. The resemblance of tbe smooth surface these present to the lichen growing on the rocks, be side which it is always found, is so groat that it is not till you tread on it that you discover the deception.— Fortnightly Review.

IJJ Nassau Street. N. Y.. or HE FEARED RIDICULE During the Franco-Prussian war a young Gorman officer named Fritz von Weber was in love with a girl named Zaire, an Alsatian, whose father was a general In the German army. The general refused his consent to the union, lie and Fritz both went to the war. Zaire was sent to the country. When Fritz reached his quarters, he found a friend, one Dr. Max von Pil low, a great joker. Fritz told tTio doc tor all about it. "Fritz," said the doctor, "leave the matter to me. Tomorrow old Hom berg takes his usual ride along the north road. He goes unattended. You must be in the little wood by the spring. He will be attacked by a number of our fellows disguised as the enemy. When he is attacked, you must rush forth and rescue him. In his gratitude Zaire shall be yours." The morrow came. Down the road on his old horse came the general. Suddenly from the wood rode a squad of the enemy—terrible fellows. The general saw them and turned to fly. The old horse was stubborn. He com menced to Jump up and down, and the result was that the general was cap tured. The enemy put a rope about the general's neck. They were going to hang him. The general slied tears. "I am General von Homberg," he groaned. The enemy grinned and threw one end of the rope over the branch of a tree. "I am a father," sobbed the general. The enemy gave a strong pull on the rope. "I—l am still in the prime of life! Don't hang me; please don't!" cried the general. The rope tightened. A shout' was heard—ringing shots, fierce words, the tramping of hoofs. The enemy fled; the general was saved. His deliverer bowed before him. It was Fritz. The general would have preferred hanging. The young man bowed low. "Your pass!" thundered the general. "I—l have none," said Fritz. "Y'ou beard the orders. Return to camp and report yourself under ar rest," suorted the general. That evening Fritz—poor Fritz—sat In his tent. A guard wulkcd before tho door. But all the army rang with the praises of the general, who had that | day met a squad of the enemy and sin gle handed had defeated them. Dr. Max was furious. He imitated the general's horse. lie jumped up and down and snorted. "I'll tlx him!" lie cried. "I'll show him up!" Then he took his pen and sat down and wrote tlie whole story out—the true story. "Tomorrow," said Dr. Max. "I'll send this to my paper unless lie compro mises." He stood before t lie general. "Good morning, general." "All, Dr. von Billow, what do you wish?" "Can I sec you alone, general?" The general's aid retired. "General, we have had enough." "Enough what?" "Enough humbug." "How?" "Tliose men were your own men. I have their account of the affair. It is not complimentary to you. It is very complimentary to Fritz. General, Fritz j must marry your daughter." "Sir," thundered the general, "do you presume"— "Oh, yes," smiled Dr. Max; "yes, I presume. I own a newspaper, you | know. The whole account must go for j ward. In three days the whole world I will be in a broad grin over you and your horse unless"— "Unless what?" j "Unless Fritz marries Zaire." The general hesitated. lie bad been praised, honored—lie dreaded ridicule. "Come down!" cried Dr. Max. "It's 110 use holding out, general. Come down like a man!" The general hesitated, turned, wrig gled, fumed and offered money, but it was of no avail. "Come down!" cried Dr. Max. "Come down! Shall Zaire marry Fritz?" "Yes," growled tho general. "And you will introduce liiiu as your soil In-law at once and release liim from I arrest?" I "No—that is, I mean yes." "And you will give him an appoint ment—make him your secretary?" "I won't!" "Ah!" "Well, I will." OASTOHIA. , Bern the Kind You Have Always Bought ! "-T" I tDRIVING - A commonplace shoes out of the market is what the is doing.
