POLITICAL.
The last public utterance of ex-
Ripper Recorder A. M. Brown, of
Pittsburg, to the effect that Governor
Stone was the custodian of the fund
raised to pass the infamous ripper
through the legislature last winter
has gotten that garrulous old has
been into a peck of trouble. If what
he says is true he knew all about the
Illegal and disgraceful means used to
pass the bill, and if he was half as
honest as he now wants people to be
lieve, he should not have accepted of
fice at the hands of Governor Stone
or any other corruptionist connected
with the gang. The trouble with the
old major is that he did not become
honest soon enough. Remorse of
conscience, such as Brown is now
experiencing, comes too late to be of
benefit to the people, unless he tells
the whole story. He will hardly do
that, as a lot of other "reformers"
now patting him on the back would
be in the hole as deep if not deeper
than Goldbrick Bill. —Clearfield Re
publican.
"The Philippine Tariff measure
passed the house of representatives by
a party vote. It is one of the most
shameless pieces of legislation ever
proposed by any party and ought to
seal the political fate of every man
who supports it. England, in her op
pression of American colonies, never
was guilty of anything more tyranni
cal, and even Spain, whose despotism
aroused our country's armed protec
tion in behalf of Cuba —even Spain
lacked the refined cruelty which the
Republican leaders practiced with
seeming enjoyment. While the West
Indies were under the rule of Castll
lians they enjoyed free trade with the
mother country and had representation
in the imperial parliament, but the
Filipinos, after co-operating with us
against Spain, bought like chattels
from a vanquished foe, were placed un
der the control of high-priced carpet
bag officials. They are to be shut out
of commercial intercourse with the
states by the high tariff wall con
structed to enable a few American
manufacturers to grow rich at the ex
pense of the rest of the people, and
are denied representation in the legis
lature which taxes them. The Demo
crats in the house will greatly
strengthen their party by great opposi
tion to the measure."—Wm. J. Bryan
We said, the other day, that Presi
dent Roosevelt had evidently been im
posed upon by the Pennsylvania sena
tors when he nominated their man,
Baylor, for consul at Dawson, Canada
If Mr. Roosevelt found that Say lor had
been hooked for this appointment by
President McKinley, and if he sent the
name in without other information as
to the character and antecedent* of the
appointee, we can understand how the
mistake came to be made. The en
dorsement cf Quay and Penrose ought,
perhaps, to have been considered aa
a suspicious circumstance, but under
the press and rush of business and the
necessity of seeing an average of 100
visitors per day the natural suspicion
which attaches to a recommendation
irom that quarter might have been
overlooked. Now that the bad rec
ord of the man, however, lias been
brought to light, the president should
promptly withdraw the nomination.
The naming of Saylor as consul at
Matanzas by Mr. McKinley was one of
the most deplorable appointments of
the latter's career. The good people
of Philadelphia are not easily shocked
by the doings of their politicians, but
the appointment of a man who has
just been detected in attempting to
twindle the state while serving on an
investigating committee of the legis
lature. stirred them mightily. They
sent a dolegation to Washinojon to
remonstrate with the president
against this galling indignity, but in
vain. The would-be swindler was
appointed consul at Matanzas. The
war with Spain swept away a great
many abuses of one kind and another,
and it was supposed that Saylor's
consulship had gone with the rest, but
now it appears that he was only re
served for a more important position
at the capital of the Klondike, where
the disgrace of his appointment will
he more conspicuous and glaring than
it could be in a second-rate Spanish-
American town. —New York Evening

COL LABOR ATSON
Philip Herbert, briefless barrister
ami struggling author, applied lo his
friend David Hold for work to help
him over u slack season. Iteid obtain
ed a commission for him to collaborate
in writing a novel with a Mrs. Endl
cott, a rich young widow, who devoted
a considerable portion of her time to
literary work.
The lady, who had been extremely
businesslike in arranging terms with
him, soon revealed a quality of tem
per and disposition which considerably
aggravated the difliculties of his work.
"Really," she said one day, "Mr.
Herbert, you are incorrigible. In the
last installment of the story which 1
have received from you I And you have
deliberately departed from my written
instructions and from the carefully
drawn up synopsis of the plot with
which 1 provided you. This is not the
tirst nor"—
"Excuse me, Mrs. Endicott, but will
you kindly tell me in what essential
point I have failed to observe your in
structions.'"
"I warned you before," continued
the widow, "that the lovemaking in
the story was to be held in check until
we had reached the twentieth chapter,
yet in the iifteenth you turn the hero
into a mere moonstruck, philander
ing"—
lie started to his feet, saying ab
ruptly:
"I (juitc understand you, Mrs. Endi
cott, and there is no occasion for an
other word of explanation. I have in
deed come here expressly to tell you
that I must relinquish all further
share in your literary project."
His altered tone and manner seemed
to embarrass her, and she held her
head down as if anxious to avoid his
gaze.
After a moment's pause he added,
while placing 5 sovereigns and a slip
of paper on the table before her:
"I received £25 from you, Mrs. Endi
cott. I now return £5 and give you an
undertaking to repay the balance with
in three weeks from the present date.
The relinquishment of the work which
you engaged me to do involves, in my
opinion, an unwarrantable breach of
our agreement, and I must pay forfeit
accordingly."
"Oh, Mr. Herbert, I hope you will
not"-
Hut words were useless now, for the
handsome though somewhat haggard
looking young man had abruptly left
the room the moment he had iinislied
speaking.
Ten days after this unpleasant inci
dent the widow called upon Mr. Held,
her lawyer, a benevolent looking man
of sixty, who, instead of greeting Mrs.
Endicott with his usual cheery smile,
bowed gravely as she entered his
room, an unmistakable expression of
disappointment in his shrewd yet kind
ly face.
"What's the matter?" she asked,
with a familiar nod, for the lawyer
was an old and valued friend.
"I was just now thinking about my
young friend, Philip Heroert, and"—
"The very person that 1 wish to
Rpeak to you about," she said quick
ly, and then in a few words told him
of the collapse of her arrangements
with the young barrister, adding that
she had written to his address at the
Temple inviting him to resume his
suspended work, but had received no
reply to her letter.
"Nor are you likely to receive one,
Mrs. Endicott. Mr. Herbert is very ill.
lie must have recently suffered a se
vere mental shock, I fancy. At any
rate, one of the best and most amiable
of men is now so ill that liis life is
despaired of."
Mrs. Endicott dropped her veil and,
rising to her feet, muttered a few
words inaudibly and then left the law
yer's office and hurried to her carriage.
That evening when David Reid call
ed at the Temple to inquire as to the
condition of his sick friend the char
woman, Mrs. Lorrigun, a bibulous and
plethoric person, who was Herbert's
only attendant, informed him that a
professional nurse had arrived at the
chambers only an hour before to take
charge of the sufferer.
After three weeks of acute suflfering,
pale and emuciated, the young barris
ter was able to sit up in bed and con
verse with the doctor, whose parting
words to him that night were:
"You owe your life mainly to your
nurse, Mr. Herbert. You must always
remember that."
The professional nurse came at 10
p. in.
"Did a lady call here while I was ill,
nurseV" suddenly asked the convales
cent, waking from a refreshing sleep.
"No, sir."
"Fact is, I owe a lady some money,
and if she should call"—
"She is not likely to call for it sure
ly," said the nurse in a low voice.
"She may do so, for I always found
her very harsh and exacting." After
a pause he added: "And yet, nurse, she
is dearer to me than anybody else in
the world. I love her."
"Why, did she treat you badly?"
"Well, I fancy she guessed my secret
and resented uiy presumption, for she
is rich and I am poor, though heaven
knows no sordid thought ever tuinted
my love for Hose Endicott."
There was a pause, and then a con
vulsive sob broke from the nurse, and
she started to her feet.
"Have I said anything to offend you,
nurse?" he asked anxiously, grasping
her hand and pressing it gratefully to
his pullid lipa
She bent over him and looked into
his eyes, the dim light from the fire
playing upon her face.
"Mrs. Endicott!" he exclaimed in a
•one of alarm.
"No, Philip; your Hose for life."
Another View of It.
"It's hard to be poor."
"Not necessarily. A great many peo
ple find it easy enough."

Chic Parisien.
Woman's Lonla XVI. Coat.
Louis XVI. coats, with all their pic
turesqueness of big revere, hip pocket
laps, turnover cuffs and lace trim
mings, are among the season's favored
designs. This highly effective model is
cut in the most fashionable lines and
is adapted to velvet, velveteen, hand
some cloth and silk, either with skirt
to match or in contrast. The original
makes part of a costume, the material
for which is hunter's green velvet, and
is trimmed with bands of mink and
large jeweled buttons, the rest being of
brocade and the rovers, collars and
cuffs of Irish crochet over white satin.
The waTst portion fits snugly and in
cludes single bust darts. The skirt is
seamed on at front and sides, but cut
in one with the back, and the pocket
laps are attached at the seams. The
vest ulso is closely fitted and is joined
to the fronts, which are extended to
turn back and form rovers. The sleeves
are in coat style, with roll over, flaring
cuffs, and the neck is finished with a
deep turnover collar.
Combination Party Gown,
As party gowns are such expensive
luxuries, the girl of limited income
cannot afford more than one, which
must answer for all dress occasions.
Being to all intents and purposes an
evening costume, it is of course made
decollete, so in order to make it suita
ble for other affairs that demand an
elaborate but high necked gown the
economical young woman has several
yokes and pairs of sleeves made of net,
chiffon and lace to give variety to this
combination gown. The pretty lace
yokes that may be purchased so cheap
ly just now are the very thing for
these useful accessories when they can
be matched in other lace from which
the sleeves may be made.
A Stylish nioane.
The last blouse is of raspberry red
cloth, with a perfectly plain stretched
back and the front adorned at either
side with a cluster of small tucks,
while the low cut neck and the crossed
fastenings are edged with a baud of
BED RASPBERRY CLOTH,
white taffeta piped with black taffeta.
The collar and plastron are of cream
lace, and the tucked sleeves are finish
ed with tucked cuffs trimmed with
bands of white taffeta pipeu with
black.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Gown With the "Flare."
In spite of the curtailing of the walk
ing skirt the reception gown still re
tains its elegant proportions, in many
cases the tiare which was formerly
supplied by the shaped frill being pro
duced by a series of gores to the
ground, which convey an impression of
height and are very graceful.
A SBRP Reply.
"Are you enjoying your holiday this
summer, Willie?"
"Yes," replied Willie.
"Do you miss your school much?"
"Not much. But I fancy mother
does."

THEATRICAL
"A Trip to Buffalo" enjoys the dis
tinction of being one of the most unique
productions of the season. Every phase
of the stage routine is Incorporated,
from burlesque to drama. There is as
much music in the piece as the average
comic opera and of a better quality than
many musical productions. The vaude
ville features are among the best obtain
able while the scenic and costume
vestlture is another especially strong
point. The plot is not obstruslve, yet a
connected story is told so as to give full
swing to the comedians. The company
is the strongest at this time it has ever
been.
There are forty people in the cast,
including what has come to be widely
known as the "Beauty Choru9," a title
given because of the personal attractions
of the young women composing it. In
the third act the Fan-American Exposi
tion is pleasingly recalled by a reproduc
tion of a number of the best known
features Including the Streets of Cairo,
the Filipino Village and the Streets of
Mexico. The illumination of the Elec
tric Tower and the Esplanade, the
crowning glory of the Exposition, is
effectively and gives a comprehensive
suggestion of the beauty of the original.

Denman Thompson's "Our New Min
ister" will have one more presentation
at the Grand opera house, this season,
on Tuesday evening. That this latest
product of Mr. Thompson is one to con
jure with is evidenced by the countless
requests of a theatrical managers every
where to book it, for it Is one of the few
genuine money wiuners of the present
dramatic season. Before its first pro
duction in Boston, two years ago, its
managers had only moderate expecta
tions concerning the new piece, but
it did that most astonishing of all
things—surprised its managers, and that
is more than surprising one's mother.
As the "Old Homestead" brought many
dallars to the fortunes of its author so
will be the case with "Our New Minis
ter." The same great cast will positive
ly be seen.

In speaking of "The Fast Mail,"
the Toledo Times of August 13 says:
"The formal opening of the season in
Burt's theatre was most propitious.
Though the weather was certainly not
such as to drive people indoors for amuse
ment, the house was filled upstairs and
down. Perhaps the bill had something
to do with the attendance. 'The Fast
Mail' soem9 never to lose Irs popularity
The scenic and mechanical effects never
pall; the steamboat explosion thrills,
and the express train sutisties w th
unfailing certainty. This time, in ad
dition to the stage effects, there are a
number of clever people in the cast,
who thoroughly pleased the audience by
their good acting and numerous spucia -
ties.
FOR THE CHILDREN
Kitty'* Surprise.
Kitty liked fruit very much. Do you
know any little girl who docs not?
Her mother often gave it to her. hut
she did not like to have her take it
without leave, because she had once or
twice made herself sick by eating too
many apples. One day Kitty went into
the dining room alone. She soon espied
something that looked very nice. Away
up on the sideboard, out of her reach,
was a handsome glass dish full of
beautiful peaches, pears and grapes.
Kitty's mamma had invited some little
girls to spend the afternoon with her,
and this fruit was for her tea party.
She did not tell Kitty, because she
wanted to surprise her.
"Oh, what boo'ful peaches!" said
Kitty to herself. "And such nice
grapes! Dear me, I think mamma
might hal) gib me some! Too bad! It's
real mean! I dess I'll dot some though,
anyway."
Kitty pushed a chair up to the side
board. She looked all around and
listened, but no one was in sight.
Blanche, the white cat, lay on the rug.
and Folly, the parrot, was perched
near the window and seemed as sleepy
is puss. Kitty climbed up in the chair
and stood with her little hoots right on
mamma's nice plush cushion. She
knew she was naughty, but she didn't
care. She reached up and caught hold
af a large cluster of grapes.
"I'll tell mother!" said a sharp voice
behind her.
It was only Folly Gray, but Kitty
was so startled that she slipped, and
aver went the chair. Down went Kit
ty, humping her head and bruising her
elbow and crushing the grapes in her
hand, so that the juice ran over her
nice white apron. She screamed, and
mamma left the pretty dress she was
making for Kitty to wear at the tea
party and ran in to see what was the
matter. You may guess how sorry she
felt that in place of the delightful
surprise she had planned for Kitty the
little girl had made for herself a sur
prise that was not nice at all.
