PUBLIC OPINION
Opinions From Various Sources On Po
litical Questions of the Day.
Every time Mr. Sibley forgets his
Republicanism he manages to say a
lot of patriotic things The Com
moner.
There is no reason to question
Chairman Donnelly's declaration that
"Ex-Governor Pattison and the Demo
cratic city committee are working in
perfect harmony and in mutual trust
and sincerity." Certainly this ought to
be true, and wo have a right to assume
that it is true, notwithstanding ap
parently interested efforts to create a
different Impression. Philadelphia
Times.
The Pennsylvania state building at
the Charleston Exposition, which cost
$11,325 to build, has been sold at auc
tion for $135. It was a characteristic
machine job when built, and its sale
was of the same character. It Is Impos
sible to secure honest dealing as con
cerns the state in anything the people
at Harrisburg of the Stone administra
tion put their hands. The track of dis
honesty and theft trails after them
from the cradle to the grave.—Pitts
burg Post.
Mr. Guthrie has done more than any
man in the state to promote ballot re
form. He has labored with equal as
siduity and success for municipal re
form and governmental Improvements
of every kind. As lieutenant governor
ho will be a part, and an Important
part, of the legislative branch of the
government, and his presence thero
will be an inspiration to effort and a
basis of hope for all citizens of the
commonwealth who desire honest elec
tions and just returns. Harrisburg
Star-Independent.
The record of the presont adminis
tration at Harrisburg has convinced
thinking men that partisan success
does not always insure the best re
sults in office, and that a proper re
gard for the operation of the organic
law of the state and the rights of the
people are more desirable in an execu
tive than his devotion to any particu
lar brand of machine ijolitics. The
nomination of Mr. Pattison as the
Democratic candidate for governor
will invest the state campaign with
a degree of interest that it would not
otherwise possess Scranton Truth
(Ind. Rep.).
The nomination of Quay's candidate
for governor means, if it means any
thing, that ballot-box stuffing is to be
perpetrated In Philadelphia. The prac
tices of Salter are to be continued and
perfected. It has been made possible
In the past by an acquiescent bench,
and the judicial courtesy will be in
voked this year to help Pennypacker.
If the judges had been faithful to their
obligations and Just to the community
the practice would have been broken
up long ago. But they have encouraged
ballot-box stuffing by making it as dif
ficult as possible to convict the per
petrators of the crime. Bellefonte
Watchman.
When Judge Pennypacker, away
hack In November, wrote his panegyric
of Senator Quay in which he estimated
that gentleman as a greater statesman
than Daniel Webster and the posses
sor of gifts equal to those of Shake
speare, he thought he was simply pay
ing the profligate tribute of a blind in
fatuation to a kinsman who had been
kind. It marked him a fool, for be
sides showing an intellectual infirmity
it revealed an indifference to political
immorality which was disgraceful to
the bench. But it may be assumed
that he neither expected nor desired
other reward than a sign of apprecia
tion. Such an infatuation is equally
satisfied with a kiss or a kick.—Harris
burg Star-Independent.
At Centralla yesterday morning fire
broke out 111 a row of houses. The ho9o

yr-i. in. Q.. V^}
The coolness between Mrs. Went
wortb and Mrs. Drewelowe was begin
ning to occasion remark. Tliey met
frequently, for Mrs. Drewelowe was
the gracious mistress of a beautiful
Euclid avenue home, while just around
the corner, upon a short and unpreten
tious side street, stood the smaller
house rented by Professor and Mrs.
Wentwortb.
Tears ago they had been girls to
gether in the little village of Mayville,
when she of the stately mansion had
been only Maria Duzenbury, daughter
of the most shiftless man In the vil
lage.
In those days Mrs. Wentwortb had
lived on no side street, but In the state
ly white pillared mansion which
crowned the highest hill iu Mayville
and which was pointed to with pride
as the home of Judge Titus. Fate
plays strange tricks! After the death
of the judge, when the lawyers were
quite through, somehow there was lit
tle or nothing left for the daughter, al
though one of the lawyers took ills en
tire family abroad within the year and
the other built himself a new house.
The trouble began at the Culture
club. Mrs. Wentwortb had felt sure
she bad detected a most peculiar smile
upon Mrs. Drewclowe's face at the
precise moment when she stood up to
read her paper on "Egyptian Archi
tecture." Then, later In the afternoon,
Mrs. Itoberts, also of Euclid avenue,
had leaned over nnd said laughingly:
"Mrs. Wentwortb, Mrs. Drewelowe
says she doesn't believe you ever wrote
that paper. It was so good she thinks
your husband must have written It."
Any clubwoman knows this is a most
grievous insult.
Mrs. Wentwortb gave charming little
teas in a modest, side street fashion,
and the bitterness rankled in her heart
to such an extent that she left Mrs.
Drewelowe off her list the next week.
Then there was an elaborate social
function at the Euclid avenue man
sion, and Mrs. Wentwortb did not re
ceive cards.
But the climax was reserved for Eas
ter morning iu the vestibule of the Eu
clid avenue church.
Mrs. Drewelowe and Mrs. Wentwortb
met, nnd, remembering the sacred
threshold, bowed less coldly than
usual, then gasped and stood trans
fixed. Taking In every flower and
knot of lace, they realized that their
beautiful new Easter bonnets were ex
actly alike.
Their husbands, balancing their hats
carefully in one hand and with the
other holding each a vestibule door,
were courteously awaiting tliem. They
had cordially shaken hands, for it ill
became dignified men to notice wo
men's small quarrels.
Mrs. Drewelowe was first to recover.
"A beautiful morning," she said in her
sweet, even tones, and a bar of purple
and yellow flashed from the window
across the violets In her bonnet us she
turned and swept after her husband.
Mrs. Wentwortb bowed In silence,
biting her lips in vexation, and raised
a delicately gloved hand up to see If
her bonnet, that bad cost her so many
economies, was really upon her head
or upon that of rich Maria Drewelowe.
She felt that now, as ever since they
had lived in the city, Mrs. Drewelowe
had the best of her.
A little path had opened through the
garden of spring millinery across the
congregation, and through it she saw
Mrs. Drewelowe turn nnd stare direct
ly back at her, smile In a superior way,
then whisper something to Mrs. Rob
erts in the pew just behind, whereupon
Mrs. Roberts laughed most Immoder
ately, considering the time and place.
The hot blood rushed to Mrs. Went
worth's face In such force as to make
her quite dizzy. She knew what Mrs.
Drewlowe had said as well as though
she had heard every word.
"Annie Wentwortb, never content
with running after me, has managed
iu some way to copy my bonnet, and
don't you think, Mrs. Roberts, It Is an
outrage'/"
Alas! Annie Wentworth, daughter
of Judge Titus, to be thus openly flout
ed by a Duzeubury!
It was bad enough to be reduced to
living on a side street, to watching her
In the lead of the most exclusive set in
the city, but to be accused of copying
her clothes —that was the last straw.
Move! Indeed they'd move the Ist of
May! She would resign from the Cul
ture club! They would go where she
might never meet this regal, queenly
daughter of aimless, shiftless old Du
zeubury or her husband, who bad made
his fortune in kerosene.
The minister soared away In mag
nificent flights of oratory, but Mrs.
Wentworth's mind constantly returned
to the problems of how the bonnets
came to be alike and what Mrs. Drewe
lowe had whispered to Mrs. Roberts. At
last she solved the first question. Mrs.
Drewelowe had discovered her treasure,
the little milliner who made It possible
for her, the wife of Professor Went
worth. to appear for $lO In bonnets
which looked ns though they had cost
$.lO, the poor little relic of better days
who lived In the old tumbledown brick
building belilsd the cathedral and who
had a wonderful knack for copying
expensive bounets. To place her old
est customer in such a humiliating po
sition! Mrs. Wentworth turned cold
nil over with the remembrance of the
whisper. Oh, the letter she would
send with the bonnet straight back to
that traitress!
She was quite hysterical by the time
the last amen was prououueed and
hurried the dazed professor home at a
rapid pace. Patiently lie listened to
tho time worn complaints—the wreck
of her father's estate, the bitterness of
seeing Maria Drewelowe in her beau
tiful home while she must live In an
obscure corner.
'tenderly he soothed her and bathed
her throbbing temples. Years of wed
ded life had taught hint the futility of
argument when his wife's mind was
made up. lie remembered, too, that
for love of him she had refused Henry
Drewelowe back in the old sunny dnys
at Mayville.
Unable to be up the next morning,
nevertheless she managed to indite a
bitterly accusing note to the little mil
liner und dispatch it with the bonnet
by a messenger hoy. Several dnys
elapsed, and no answer came. Finally
in desperation she gathered her
strength ami, boarding a downtown
car, was soon mounting the steps of
the old brick building behind the ca
thedral.
There was no answer to her first
knock, so she rapped again. A faint
inonn came through the open transom.
Then she turned the knob and entered.
The room was In disorder; most of the
little furniture It had contained had
mysteriously disappeared. Only a bed,
a chair and a table remained. Upon
the table lay two opened letters, and
beside them sat a bonnet box securely
tied. Upon tho bed lay the frail figure
of the milliner, her face hot with
fever. At this sight Mrs. Weutwortli's
wrath vanished, and she stood by the
bedside only a sweet, helpful woman,
her heart wrung with pity.
There was a rustle of silk lined gar
ments outside In the hall, then an Im
perious knock, and when Mrs. Went
worth opened the door she beheld u
second Nemesis in tho form of Mrs.
Drewelowe. The latter bestowed a
curt nod upon Mrs. Wentworth, and
that softened and already repentant
woman stepped aside and allowed her
to advance to the bedside. Mrs. Drewe
lowe heard her own name and Mrs.
Weutwortli's mingled, falling incoher
ently from the parched lips. After a
moment she turned and faced Mrs.
Wentworth.
"Annie Wentworth, tills Is our work.
I wrote her n very harsh note Mon
day morning, accusing her of copying
my new bonnet, which I bought In
New York three weeks ago. She was
In the house doing some work, and I
felt sure she must have seen it through
the treachery of the maids."
"And I," sobbed Mrs. Wentworth,
"sent back my bonnet Monday morn
ing with a scandalous note—perfectly
scandalous!"
Then they sought tho landlady and
demanded an explanation of her neg
lect. She surveyed tho two ladies with
rising anger.
"Sure, ma'ams," she said, "an' I'm
a lorn widder myself with five chllder
to support, an' she's hack on her rent
three months. It's all along of her
havin' to go on to Noo York an' git
her bad brother out of Jail, an' she's
sold her furniture nil' clothes an' gone
without fire an' enough to eat to make
up. Then, on top of that, two women
—folne ladies in sasslcty—writ her two
of the meanest letters you ever see in
your life, an' then site went clean out
en her head. Tlicy was all about a
bonnet she see when she was in Noo
York an 1 copied for one of 'em, an' she
said the other one must have been on
an' bought the identical bonnet, for it
bad Jest come over from I'urco, an'
uobody'd had a chance at it.
"Them letters done it. Mighty moan
women, if they nre sasslcty women, as
would let loose an' abuse"—
"There! You have explained suffi
ciently," Icily interrupted Mrs. Drewe
lowe, ber face quite crimson. "We will
liny the rent duo you nnd take charge
of your roomer at once." And she
drew out her purse.
When the little milliner had been
safely tucked 111 the white hospital
bed and Mrs. Wentworth was seated
In the Drewelowe carriage rolling
home, she suddenly exclaimed, "Ma
ria, what did you say?"
"When? What do you mean?"
queried that astonished lady.
"Why, Sunday In church, when you
leaned hack and whispered to Mrs.
Roberts?"
Mrs. Drewelowe was lost In thought
for some time and then said: ,
"Oh, I know. I told her that, nftor
nil her Instructions, tho ulglit before I
hnd forgotten to make the mustard
plaster for Henry's chest as she ad
vised, nnd the poor man was blistered
so dreadfully that If It hadn't been
Easter morning lie would not have
tried to come to church."
It was a fashionable hour, every
body was abroad, and the dignified
Drewelowe conehmnn felt quite hu
miliated by the penis of merry laugh
ter which rippled from the aristocratic
Drewelowe equipage.
An Unofficial Oriler.
Thomas, tenth earl of Dundonnld, nt
Ids death vice admiral In the English
navy, tells In his "Autobiography of a
Seaman" of an incident on board the
Hind, on which he served ns midship
man. The pet of the ship was a parrot,
tho aversion of the boatswain, whoso
whistle the bird learned to imitate ex
actly.
"One day a party of ladies paid ns a
visit aboard. By the usual means of a
'whip' on the yardarm several had
been hoisted on deck. The chain had
descended for another. Scarcely had
Its fair freight been lifted out of the
boat alongside when the parrot piped,
'Let go!'
"The order was Instantly obeyed, and
the unfortunate lady. Instead of being
comfortably seated on deck, was soused
In the sea.
"Luckily for licr, the men were on the
watch and quickly pulled her out, nnd
luckily for the parrot tho boatswain
was on shore, or this unseasonable as
sumption of the boatswain's functions
might have ended tragically for the
bird."
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
The Deilruum Cnmile.
A woman who has u country cottage
says that whether one has gas, gaso
line, lamps or electricity in one's house
it Is always well to have a candle in
each room. When u big storm comes,
either the electric light wires and poles
will be blown down, connections or
machinery stopped, power house flood
ed, or In some way the gas or electric
light Is cut off.
For some purposes, such ns carrying
from one room to another and keeping
in a bedroom to make a quick light In
case of sudden emergency, candles are
safe, clean, convenient and cheap. Any
one who once adopts the custom of
keeping n candlestick in each bedroom
will never abandon it Have low, plain
candlesticks, easy to keep clean, not
easily broken nnd with a saucer shaped
base, broad enough to catch all the
drips and impossible to upset, and you
will be glad a dozen times a year that
you have them, and if you never allow
a lamp carried from one room to an
other you will be less apt to collect
your insurance.
For llall>'o Comfort.
When there Is a baby in the house,
his comfort during the warm weather
should be considered before anything
else and every effort made to keep him
healthy and good linturcd. Ills meals
should be given regularly nnd his diet
confined to the simple articles of food
that you hare found to agree with him.
Even then he is apt to have an attack
of summer complaint, nnd it is well to
have a remedy at hand, especially if
you live some distance from u doctor.
The following remedy has been used
for years and has proved very effec
tive. It is composed of equal parts of
camphor, peppermint, laudanum and
rhulmrb. When they are well shaken,
put one drop in a teaspoonful of water
and give a dose every hour or two until
relieved. A tea made of wlntergreen or
peppermint is good for the colic.
Self IlentliiK Sadiron.
The Improved llntlron shown In the
drawing seems to have been Invented
especially to aid the busy housewife
who has a large ironing to do on a hot
summer day, as she can keep right on
with her work long after the fire in the
range has gone out nnd the room has
cooled to a more comfortable tempera
ture. Besides, there Is no changing of
Irons to replace the one rapidly cooling
through use, the one iron doing all the
work without change and being ar-

ranged to keep the temperature of the
smoothing surface at just the right de
gree to suit the operator. The iron
comprises a hollow chamber formed In
the easting. In which a horizontal tube
having perforations on the underside
and a feeding tube connecting the
burner with the globelike reservoir
above. Tho reservoir Is supplied with
any volutile oil and In passing to the
burner Is adapted to be transformed
Into gas through the action of the
ilame, which also impinges agyinst the
comparatively thin undersurface of the
Iron to maintain the proper tempera
ture. By adjusting the valves the llow
of the liquid from the reservoir and
the pressure of the gas entering the
perforated tube can be easily altered.

Attractive IlntlirooiitN.
It Is readily possible now to have not
only a pretty but even novel bath
room. Wall papers come in patterns
specially designed for bathrooms.
There are tile papers, but in the way
of fanciful designs there is, for exam
ple, an imported frieze culled the es
tuary, which Is an artistic panorama
of ships passing along a narrow strip
of water, with trees and banks in the
foreground. Tiles are eminently clean,
and a bathroom which has a tiled dado
in white and green or white and delft
blue will always look Inviting. The
walls should be painted in a solid color
or papered to harmonize with the col
ors in the tiles. If the tloor be cov
ered with oilcloth, a tile or other de
sign in the colors of the room can read
ily he selected. All the accessories of
the bathroom, such as soap dishes,
sponge receptacles—every conceivable
requisite from a towel rack to a tooth
brush holder —now come In nickel,
which greatly Increases the possibili
ties of making the domain devoted to
the health promoting and refreshing
morning dip an apartment most at
tractive In appearance.
To Find Partners.
After racking her bruin one hostess
evolved this method of finding part
ners and places at her luncheon for u
bride to be. Each guest entering the
parlor wns given a pretty saucer or a
cup. Partners were found by match
ing saucers with cups. When the guests
came to the table, each found at her
place either the saucer or the cup
which matched her own again.
A Itlrnclitni? Hint.
When pillowcases and other articles
have become discolored by being dried
Indoors In bad weather, soak them for
four or five days in a large pan of clean
cold water, turning them about each
day. Blue lightly and finish in the usu
al way. They will be beautifully white.
