HARRIBBURQ LETTIR Harris Libel Bult—A Damning Record Against Corrupt Politics. Harrisburg, Feb. 24.—Nothing has occurred since the adjournment of the last corrupt legislature to Inspire so genuine and general a feeling of dis gust for machine politics as the re cent suit of Harris vs. Meek, on the charge of libel. The case should be reversed, for it was Harris who was in reality on trial and proved guilty substantially. That rake ofTs and bribes in various forms were demanded for getting ap propriations for charitable institu tions was known to a few on the in side, and suspected by many, but it was like a peal of thunder from a clear sky to have placed In evidence in open court a letter from the state treasurer-elect that he demanded SIOO for helping to get an appropriation for a hospital, of which four-fifths of the patients are from Harris' own county. It was his sworn duty as a member of the house to aid in getting the appro priation, and he violated that oath if he took anything beyond his salary for his efforts. He claimed on the stand that he spent four or five days hard work on the floor of the house for the bill. Even if he did it was a part of the duty for which he swore to take nothing but his salary. But the truth is he didn't Mpend four days, nor four hours, work for the bill as can be proved. He said further that he went to Harrisburg especially to see the governor to in duce him to sign the bill. The fact is he was on his way to Philadelphia, traveling on a pass and stopped off at Harrisburg as he would perhaps have done If there had been no Phillipsburg hospital in existence Politicians of the machine stripe are cursing Harris soundly for his stu pidity in bringing a suit which has done so much to confirm what the peo ple already believed —that the last legislature was as corrupt as Judas, and that Harris was selected as the candidate for state treasurer because he had been a most subservient tool for the machine. Harris evidently de pended on the favor of the court to win his case. Any man with a particle of discretion in his make-up would not have rushed into a trial In which evi dence of his own wrong doing would likely be brought to light. He per haps thought the court would rule, like the speaker of the last house, and shut off everything that would In any way hurt his own case. He little dreamed that damning evidence, not from the lips of a political opponent, but deliberately penned by his own hand, would confront him, as Ban quo's ghost appeared before Macbeth. Busch's testimony on the stand, in which he declared that he falsified the records of the house under penalty of losing his position, is but more evi dence of the damnable proceedings of the last, house. Neither Clerk Garvin, nor Speaker Marshall, nor anybody else, has come forward to say that Busch testified to what was not true. He but stated what is already known, that bill after bill was passed last win ter at Harrisburg by falsifying the record. Harris was nominated by a conven tion which unanimously Instructed him to vote for Col. Irvin for United States senator. The delegates to the conven tion were themselves unanimously in structed to require this pledge of their candidates for the assembly. Harris, true to his record, says that he was released from this pledge by Col. Ir win; but the truth is he was not so released, and evidence can be adduced in support of the fact as clear as the evidence that Harris demanded money from the trustees of the Phillipsburg hospital for aid in getting their appro priation. Harris is neither better nor worse than he was at the time of the elec tion, but people know him better. The fact that he ran away behind in his own county last fall shows that he runs best where least known. Truly, the people of Pennsylvania ought to repent in sack-cloth and ashes for their consummate folly In electing such a man to take charge of the money of the state. NORMAN. OASTOnZA.

Little four-year-old Annie had been to church, and upon returning home her aunt asked what the minister had snid. "He didn't say anything for people who stay at home," was the pert reply. One evening little Clara, having re peated her regulur prayer, surprised her mother by adding, "I'm ever so much obliged to you, Ix>rd, for all you have doue for me, and I'll do as much for you some time." "Now, Julia," said the teacher to a small kindergarten pupil, "suppose I divide tills apple Into four equul nr'ts. What would one of the parts be call ed ?" "A piece of apple," was the prompt reply.

Mother* who are seeking the ideal and proper medicine to give their little ones for constipation, diarrhcea, colic and simple feveri will find LAZAKOLA the great family remedy. It is the beet and most effective laxative for children. BEST because it Is safe and made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never gripes or causes pain or irritation. BEBT because It is sure and never fails. BEST because " Children like it and atk/or it." It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent remedies that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT— give them LAZAKOLA. A few drone can be given with safety to very young babies, and will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it, and it also will check simple fevers, break up colds and clear the coated tongue. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhcea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, from the fact that LAZAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of fermentation, aids digestion, relieves restlessness, assists nature and induces sleep.

Antique lace and embroidery form the trimmings of the up to date wo man's costume. For evening wear Is a little lace bo lero with elbow sleeves thnt can be worn over a net or silk slip. It Is the fad of the moment to have different silk flounces that can be but toned on to the upper part of one Bilk skirt. A three piece set for spring wear consists of a large white chiffon boa, muff and hat, each decorated with a touch of black velvet. On the boa there are black satin roses. A simple yet popular adornment for the neck Is a broad straight band of velvet. Sometimes n color to combine with the costume Is worn, but usually the band Is of white or black. The latest novelty In skirt trimming Is to border the edge with n bund of fur. over which falls a slightly gather ed finish of lace in cream or saffron color. A touch of this lace and fur Is also used as the trimming of the bod- Ice.

Before dinner Is served the bride goes to the bnth accompanied by fe male relatives and friends. At night, as the procession of the bridegroom approaches, alms are distributed, and women and chlldreu look on from neighboring roofs. Loud cries from the women welcome the bridegroom on his arrival, while the bride, care fully veiled, mounts the horse await ing her at the door. All the men who have been feasted and entertained Join In the procession, In which lunterns are borne. The bride's departure Is the signal for the discharge of fireworks and a great heating of the big drum. The final ceremony Is similar to one observed by the Arabs and the Copts— namely, the sacrifice of sheep. These are killed as the hrlde steps over the threshold of her new home. One wonders what the Idea Is under lying the sacrifices. Are they Intended as acts of propitiation Inherited from an earlier age, when people thus en deavored "to appease the anger of the gods" or of the spirits of their an cestors?

He was fond of studying chemistry, and one night late, after tne family bad gone to bed, be swal lowed a large quantity of corrosive sublimate In mistake for some add cooling powder. He Immediately dis covered his mistake and knew that death must shortly ensue unless he in stantly swallowed the only antidote, chalk. Timid men would have torn at the bell, roused all the family and sent for a stomach pump. Emmet called no one, made no noise, but, stealing down stairs and unlocking the front door, went Into the stable, scraped some chalk which he knew to be there and took sufficient doses of it to neutralise the poison. Her Lovely Lettuce Dish. "I want," she said hesitatingly as she poised ber basket In front of her pretty chin with a thoughtful air, "to get some lettuce." "Yes'm," said the marketman. "Here's some; very nice It is too." "Is it all that color?" "Why— er—yes'm. All lettuce Is green, you know." "Oh. of course! But It's too bad. I got a lovely blue dish to put lettuce in. but I'm sure green would look horrible In It. I never thought about there not being any shades, you know." And as she turned away the market man was almost sure he saw a tear of disappointment In her eye. ladeatraotlbllity of Cedar. The resistance of cedar wood to de cay has long been famous, and cedar fenceposts often last for generations. A remarkable instance' of the Inde structibility of cedar has been noted In the Btate of Washington, where a forest of hemlocks nenr Acme has grown up over an ancient burled forest of cedars. The trunks of cedar, al though lying In a moist soil, have been almost perfectly preserved for at least 150 years, the length of time that the rings of growth show the hemlocks to have been growing above their fullen predecessors. Catarrh. The word catarrh, as popularly used, means either nasal catarrh or bron chitis. Nasal catarrh Is often helped by snuffing up. so as to carry It Into the mouth, a weak solution of salt and water, repeating the operation several times a day. Where the disease Is very persistent It Is well, when possible, to try a change of climate. In bronchitis the case should be attended by a phy sician. The Drawback to Originality.
