A STPIORO MAN'S TRUE WORDS. Tfoo maa behind the speech never was mix)* elcarly and effectively shorn than in the address of the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor at Reading. Every citizen of Penusylvmia should read this can did and truthful statement of the condition at public affairs In this state. In overy sentence there Is convincing evidence of truthfulness and sincerity, united the highest courage and patriotism. Mr. Guthrie has studied th# questioM of tho day with an un prejudiced mind and the unselfish purpose to render some service to the canse of political regeneration throughout the commonwealth and the restoration and maintenance of goo'd government for the benefit of all tfae people. Although a life-long and consistent member of the Democratic party, In this discussion of the Issues of the hour he rises above mere partisanship and like bla distinguished colleague on the Erie ticket, he makes his ap peal to truo patriots, no matter what thehr views upon ordinary party ques tions. Hs has been foremost in co operating with his fellow citizens of Pittsburg In making war upon the po litical Philistines of that long mis governed cfty, and therefore has earn ed the right to speak earnestly and successfully to the voters of the whole state, urging them to strike a final blow at political despotism and cor ruption. Mr. Guthrie, like every thoughtful man of the time, understands the real destructive character of the political machine represented by Quaylsm, and he wlsoly and justly points out that It ran only be overthrown through the leadership of the opposition party, which has upon many occasions de monstrated Its trustworthiness and toaragnpus determination to fight tho pvojile's battles to the end. There never has been two stronger men pre sented for popular support than Pattl son and Guthrie, who will next week begtn a campaign tour that will be memorable hi political annals. What they site • the platform will repre sent alesLi-baadcd conviction, the very cssonae at patriotism, and their utter ances vrtfl wmbody the thoughts of good aMlzene of every class. ¥V>e tide against Quaylsm and Its counterpart. Pennypa'ckerlsm, Is rising every hqsri; end the prospect of a great victqry me Subject. George E. McNeill of Boston, known from one end of this country to the other as the futher of the eight hour movement, has been chosen by Gov ernor Crane as the labor representa tive on tho Massachusetts commission authorized by the recent legislature to urge upon all the other states in the country the ndoption of uniform eight hour laws. The commission Is to con sist of five members, nnd Its duties nro to "examine the subject and promote the object and Interests of the work ing classes and endeavor to promote the uniformity of legislation making eight hours a legal day's labor through out tho United States." Just how the commission will accomplish Its objects is not known, but considerable litera ture will undoubtedly be circulated lu other states in an endeavor to reduce working time to eight hours a day for all. A Prosperous L'nlon. The annual report of tho Amalga mated Society of Carpenters and Join ers shows the organization to be In a very prosperous condition. Twenty three new unions and 2,020 new mem bers Joined the organization during the year. The total income for the year was $1,840,135. The total expenditures were $031,010, leaving a cash balance on bund of $908,525, $400,000 of which Is invested in government bonds. The principal items of expense were: Strike benefits, $170,775; old age pensions, $107,545, and out of work benefits, $220,535. There are now 824 local unions connected with the organiza tion. Holler Milkers nnil Shipbuilders. Briefly summarized, the work of the fifth annual convention of the Brother hood of Boiler Makers and Iron Ship builders of Amerlcn, recently held In Baltimore, may be thus told: The brotherhood adopted the eight hour day, and June 18, 1003, was set as the time on which its enforcement should be begun. On tho wage question It wns decided to permit the local organizations to adjust the matter for themselves. The present wages are from $2.50 to $3.50 a day. Miners Not Coward*. I would not go down iuto tho mines to recruit a regiment of cowards, but there is just where I would go to re cruit out and out Spartans, who would stand to their guns till the last one had fallen, if the general they followed had proved himself worthy to be de feuded.—D.

Delicate Operations Are Often Neces sary For Injnred Volumes and Much Ingenuity Is Required at Times—How Book Surgeons Work. In every up to date public library tbero la a quiet corner used us a book hospital, where worn, aged and maim ed volumes are sent for treatment and often surgical operations. The women and children of the library—that Is, the novels and juveniles—are found In the hospital the most frequently, and often they are beyond cure. But the skillful library worker has all sorts fit devices for making broken down books uppear fresh and new ngaln, and often a re markable cure Is effected. If a book were cast aside the minute Its back was broken or were not given proper treatment when a leaf became loose, the library would soon find Itself doubling expenses for duplicates of old volumes and with little money for new works. Careful treatment, on tho oth er hand, will add years to the life of a book and will materially lessen the ex penses of a public library. Tills hospital is fitted up in a very simple manner. There nre shelyes upon which the lnvnlld books nre placed un til treatment can be given them. Then there ure other shelves where they are pluced to convalesce nnd sometimes to regain consciousness after a serious surgical operation. There are operating tables nnd neat little boxes In which there are rolls of block percale nnd yards of white percale, sheets of pnr atlln paper, long strips of thin but flue quality paper, narrow rolls of gummed paper, bundles of grass cloth, balls of string, sandpaper, coarse thread and white mull. lu snug little corapnrtments Is the medicine, consisting of glue and paste. Th surgical Instruments lu a little cue* consist of a pair of forceps, a small wooden paddle, a thin wooden board und papers of needles. Then there Is an Instrument of torture—a heavy press which Is generally applied at the close of an operation. There nre all sorts of complaints among the books, nnd tho most preva lent Is the broken back. This comes from the book assuming an unhealth ful position, such as leaning up lazily against other books, resting on Its front edges or lying flat on its side. A vigor ous use of paste und glue often cures this complaint, but lu some cases a del icate operation Is resorted to. Then the cover Is stripped entirely off the back, nnd the title is carefully cut out. Next the paper back of the book Is peeled off. A piece of grass cloth Is then applied and firmly glued Into Its place. The old cover, with the exception of the title, Is pasted on again, nnd then the book Is tleij up with strings und left 011 the shelf to recover a little. When Btrong enough, a black percale back Is carefully fitted over the old back, nnd the old title Is pasted on the outside. Small lingers Injure the complexion of the books greatly, nnd sandpaper Is used a great deal on Juvenile fiction invalids. The edges of the book are rubbed with this rough paper, taking off the dirt and the yellow appearance. Itough edges of leaves nre frequent also In this branch of literature. These leaves nre carefully trimmed off, and a thin strip of nice quality paper Is pasted on to muke a clean, regular edge. "Butting" Is a method of operating that Is not used by all book surgeons. This consists ItVpladng with the wood en paddle a turn line of glue 011 the edges of a torn leaf nnd then pressing them tightly together. It has been demonstrated thoroughly that this but ting holds the torn leaf Just as firmly as and Is much more satisfactory than the old method of pasting gummed transparent paper over the torn places. The loose leaves nre 11 frequent source of annoyance to the book doc tors. The remedy for these bother some leaves Is a hinge of percale or paper, which holds the unruly page in place after the heavy press has been brought to bear on the book. In such cases the tliln board is always used to slip Into the volume, so that It will keep Its shape properly. The operation which requires the most skill is the sewing of the signa ture or division of a book back Into place. The needle and coarse thread are pushed In and out of the holes In the signature and the binding, and when It becomes awkward to use the fingers the slender forceps are used to draw the needle In and out. It is part of the work of every public library employee to take a hand in the hospital department, nnd ingenuity supplies means to remedy every com plaint thnt is conjured up by even the most erratic book. The book doctor trusts wholly to her own wit and skill ful fingers to effect a cure, and there are few cases that are hopeless.—New York Mail and Express. Cat off. "Poor child!" exclaimed Mrs. Good art. who had been touched by the ap peal to the extent of n quarter. "And how did this accident happen to your father?" "Why," replied the bright little girl, "he begged so much money one day that he got drunk and was sent to Jail." "But you told me his arms were cut off." "Oh, no, ma'am! I said 'alms.'"— Philadelphia Press. By Tliclr CrcntH. I'erhap*. She—So you have crossed the ocean sixty-four times. You must be getting used to It. He—Yes. considerably.

Harold Holmerdloger, of Now York city, Is dying the death of a suicide at Mercy hospital, Wilkesb&rro. lie was married three mouths ago to Miss Lena Solomon. It was a brilliant affair. The couple went to Now York to live. Last week the wife returned to her parents' home In YVilkosbarre. The husband followed and tried to get her to go back with him to New York. She refused and he then shot himself. There was another settling of the surface in Tripp Park, on the outskirts of the Scranton. This settling first ap peared a week ago and affected fifteen acres. At that time the track of the Lackawanna Railroad was affected, but in was pooslble to move cars over the af ected roadway. In some places the cave in of tho roadway was as much as six feet. The amount of damage ca: not b* accurately estimated at this time. OASTOniA.. Bears the /y The Kind You Have Always Bought Several members of Company K, Eighth regiment, got Into a row with the deputies at Indian Ridge colliery, Shenandoah, last night. It Is said they called the deputies namos and several of the latter attempted to arrest them. Almost the entiro company got after tho deputies and chased them. Nearly all tho members of Company K, which Is frotn St. Clair, are strikers. Henry, brother of James J. Moran, Esq., of Pottsvllle, Democratic candi date for district attorney of Schuylkill county, died at Contervillo, Elk county, this week. This is tho second of the Moran brothers that service in the Philippines caused death within the last six months. OASTOniA. Bear, the /f Kind You Have Always Bought The strike of 175 carpenters, brick layers, plasterers and hod carriers was declared ofT Saturday by tho Shamokln Lumber Manufacturing Company agree ing to discharge a few non-union men unless they joined the Carpenters' and Joiners' Union. Thestrlke was Institut ed last week. A. S. Van VVicklo & Co. have granted permission to Hanks township school board to pick coal from culm banks in order to procure sufficient anthracite to heat the school rooms of tho district. OASTOniA. Bears the /Q Tho Kind You Have Always Bought luilcc Michigan'* Water. Lake Michigan has no visible Inlet. YVhere, then, does it get its replenish ment? From the Rocky mountains. Through rents und crevices, down in to caverns at the roots of these moun tains, pour ever the waters from melt ing snow. Four thousand feet they sink to strike a gravity Incline that levels with their floor under Chicago. Under that city and elsewhere on the west side of Lake Michigan—this is the proved theory, theory as good as proved —the snow covered Rocky mountains are constantly sending their waters to supply flowuge and evapora tion that are ever going forward in the watery expanse. The Chi none Way. In it* war with England and France in 1850-60 China was easily conquered nnd forced to a Jiunilliating peace. The Peking Gazette, the ofllcinf organ of the government, however, reported the following concerning that treaty of peace: "As the western barbarians have ad mitted their wrongs and humbly so licited for peace, the emperor in his infinite goodness has granted their prayer and, moreover, has made them a present of a large sum of money (in demnity of war) to enable them to be gin an honest life, so that they may not again be driven to murder und rapine." A"Way of Explaining It. Wife—Why, John, just see what a stupid blunder the newspaper has made in its account of our silver wed ding! Don't you remember I wrote it out for tho reporter that we had spent together twenty-five years of married happiness, and the stupid typesetter has gone and made it twenty-five years of marred happiness. Isn't It awful? Husband—Oh, well, dear; don't he too hard on the poor fellow. Perhaps he's been married twenty-five years himself.—London Tit-Hits. Precaution. "Do you think you can give my daughter the surroundings to which she is accustomed?" asked tho parent "Well," answered the young man, "I won't guarantee that You see, Clnri bel has talked the matter over and says she's tired of the neighborhood." —Wusliington Star. Ill* Occupation. "Haven't you any occupation?" asked the woman at the kitchen door after listening to his tale of woe. "Yes, ma'am," replied Tuffold Knutt; "I'm a hunter." "A hr.nter? Of what?" "Grub, ma'am."—Chicago Tribune. If a woman is good and old fash ioned, she has an uneasy feeling when Inside of any house unless she lias an apron on.—Atchison Globe.
