SUAYISM DOOMED.
TTie baffled Quay combine has run
out the mud machine and raised the
black flag. This Is a sure sign of
coming defeat. The boss never loses
his head when things go right and the
way to renewed triumph Is clear. But
a campaign of costly blunders is cul
minating in a disastrous break-up:
hence the tactics of desperation. The
people have understood the confidence
game that was to be played. The de
coy has been uncovered.
Fennypackerism has been thorough
ly exposed. The candidate of the ma
chine has told on himself. He has not
dared even to make feeble protest that
he Is his own master. He has fearfully
dissipated his party strength at every
step. It is seen that a grand smash
Is just ahead. So orders have gone
out to use forbidden weapons; to strike
in the dark; to use slanderous false
hood; to mislead the Ignorant; to
arouse prejudice and passion; to slay
in vengeance.
This is the meaning of baseless at
tacks on the Democratic candidates.
This is the secret of tho mercenary
activity of certain cheap elements, al
ways In the political shambles. The
printing pr.u has been prostituted to
•erve dishonorable purposes. The
tempter Is abroad, seeking to use con
scienceless election ofiicers and po
litical workers. Venal voters will be
corralled. A last desperate stand will
be made, but in vain.
Let every intelligent citizen calmly
consider the purpose which inspires
all this wicked work. Let him regard
the "last cards" now being thrust into
his face as the product of social out
laws. They will stop at nothing.
They have ample resources. They de
spise the law. They will rule or ruin
—lf they can. The pirates are on
deck; but the battle has beeu fairly
fought, with clean hands, and with a
full vote on the part of honest citi
zenship, I'ennsylvanla, on Tuesday
next, will be freed forever from the
blighting control of Quaylsm.
The Quay hirelings stop at nothing.
Their base attempt to "work" the min
ers' convention showed how desperate
they are. Only the most degraded
politicians would thus Impudently
meddle with the affairs of honoßt work
men. The miners know how they have
been betrayed aforetime. They will
do their own thinking and their own
voting. They know that Governor
Pattlson signed more labor bills than
Beaver, Hastings and Stone combined.
Let no young man begin the duties
of citizenship by casting his first vote
to sustain the power that has cursed
Pennsylvania for a generation. Stand
up for pure politics and honest gov
ernment. Vote for Pattlson and the
whole Democratic ticket and you will
make no mistake.
Pattison and Guthrie have made a
magnificent canvass. They have vis
ited nearly every county, made about
two hundred speeches each and faced
upwards of 200,000 people. Such
earnest and faithful work will tell Im
mensely on election day.
See that every polling place Is well
manned on election day and every vote
brought out. This will mean a great
victory for the people.
Earnest effort all along the line will
ensure an honeßt legislature. Look
t the figlit iu every district.

1 " AND LIVER TROUBLES.
DUTY OP INDEPENDENTS
Tha Veteran Philadelphia Reformer,
H. C. Lea, Urges a Full Vote
For Pattlson.
Henry C. Lea, distinguished politi
cal writer and representative business
man, in a letter to Secretary George
E. Mapes, of the Union party of this
■tate, makes a strong, clear argument
on what he considers the plain duty
of independent voters in the present
state fight. Prompted by the Dauphin
county court's declaration that all cer
tificates of nomination from the Union
party's state convention are Invalid,
Mr. Lea writes:
Since the decision of Judge Simonton
has deprived the Union party of a col
umn on the ballot, It would seem that
means should be taken to remind inde
pendent voters that their object can
be attained by marking either in the
column of the "Ballot Reform" or of
the Democratic party.
Not a Vote Should Be Lost.
It is of the highest importance that
In the approaching election not a vote
should be lost of those who desire the
overthrow of the machine. It is rare
that in the politics of Pennsylvania
such an opportunity offers of emanci
pating the city and state from the foul
domination which has rendered them
throughout the land the type of all that
disgraces our institutions. This is a
critical period in which partisan feel
ings should be forgotten. There are no
national issues at stake; the contest is
confined strictly within the boundaries
of the state, and the result will be
simply to determine whether we are
to be emancipated or are to continue
In bondage to the machine.
Should Stand By Pattison.
No thinking man can doubt that tho
election of Mr. Pattison —with the rec
ord behind him of two eminently hon
est and conservative gubernatorial
terms —would prove greatly more ser
viceable to the community than that of
his competitor, who represents the ma
lodorous influences that placed him in
nomination. Nor can anyone deny that
this would be a substantial service
rendered to the Republican party by
relieving it of the odium which it has
Justly incurred by its leadership in this
state. Nor, moreover, can any Repub
lican apprehend future disaster to his
party, through its defeat in November
on these purely local issues, seeing
that the position of the state, in a pres
idential election, is one which does not
admit the possibility of a question.
This is BO absolutely safe that, on
R urely local issues, the warmest Repub
can can permit himself the luxury of
independent voting.
UNION PARTY VOTE 9
Chairman Hicks Advises Use of Ballot
Reform Column For State
Candidates.
Advice to Independent Republican
voters to turn in for Pattison, Guthria
and Nolan, the candidates on the
Democratic and Ballot Reform state
tickets, is given in a formal address
Issued by State Chairman Hicks, of
the Union party. He says we recom
mend:
First —That the members of the Un
ion party vote the Ballot Reform state
ticket—Pattison, Guthrip and Nolan—
in the Ballot Reform column.
Second —In counties where there are
Union party legislative and county
tickets, vote for the Union party candi
dates in the Union column, so that
such votes may be counted as Union
party votes, and nreserve to the Union
party the right to make nominations
hereafter, by having polled the neces
sarly percentage of the vote. Where
there are no Union party legislative
and county candidates vote for the Bal
lot Reform or Democratic legislative
nominees, excepting such as have made
objectionable records in past legisla
tive sessions.
Third —Vote for such Ballot Reform
or Democratic judicial and county nom
inees, where no Union party column is
presented, whose public and private
records commend them to the support
of the anti-Quay Republicans.
Fourth —Vote for Republicans for
congress. Where there is more than
one Republican candidate for congress,
vote for the one whose election will
give the most creditable representation
in the district and most emphatically
repudiate Quaylsm and prove most ad
vantageous to the cause of reform.
By following this course, Union par
ty voterH and independent citizens gen
erally will demonstrate:
First—That tills is not a fight upon
the part of the independent Republi
cans to weaken the Republican na
tional administration.
Second —That it is purely a state con
test for good government, c*lean poll
tics and opposition to the thieving com
bination which has for its sole and sel
fish purpose the robbery of the people
of the commonwealth and the cities
therein.
Third—That in spite of any conspir
acies the people can find away, even
though it be inconvenient, to resent
and oppose the course pursued by the
Republican machine of Pennsylvania.
THE BALLOT REFORM ISSUE
Pennypacker Dodges, While Pattison
Points to His Official Record.
Chairman Woodruff, of the Joint
committee for the Promotion of Elec
tion Reforms, recently wrote to the two
gubernatorial candidates, Messrs. Pen
nypacker and Pattison, concerning
their attitude toward the ballot reform
bill and personal registration bill ad
vocated by the joint committee.
Mr. Pennypacker replied very briefly
thnt ballot reform Is a question to
which he has given much attention. He
states further that the preparation of a
ballot reform bill is now in the hands
of a committee appointed for that pur
pose.
This letter is taken as meaning that
the Republican candidate, before com
mitting himself, wants to know what
will be done by Senator Quay's "Bal
lot Reform Committee," or by Quay.
In striking contrast with this saying
of practically nothing on the main is
sue of the state campaign is the follow
ing reply from ex-Governor Pattison
to Chairman Woodruff:
No Mistaking Pattlson's Stand.
"I received your letter requesting as
fully and clearly as possible my opin
ion in regard to the Important ques
tions, 'Ballot Reform' and 'Personal
Registration.'
"Permit me to refer you to my inau
gural address to the legislature in Jan
uary, 1891, when I recommended the
Australian system for adoption, and
also 'personal registration.' During
the four years, in every message to the
legislature, suggestions were made for
the improvement of the ballot system
of our state. I would quote these at
length, but I am sure you have them
at hand. If not, I will be pleased to
furnish you with copy.
"I hold the same opinion as to ballot
reform and personal registration whjch
I expressed to the legislature from time
to time."
The SPORTING WORLD
Career of "Booln'' Darnell.
C. E. Durnell, the young turfman
who recently has become a factor In
western racing affairs, has had wide
experience for a man of his years. He
is only twenty-six years of age and has
followed the turf in America, England
and France. lie has served with
lulSli M 1 I
Bb) lijii (ill ///
C. E. ("BOOTS") DURNELL.
Enoch Wlshard, the trainer for the
stable of John A. Drake; has been a
Jockey, and Is now gathering a strong
stable of thoroughbreds.
Durnell is nicknamed "Boots" and
bears a striking resemblance to Man
ager Clark Griffith of the Chicago
White Stockings. He went to work
for Scoggan Bros. In Kentucky In
1888 as a stable boy and jockey. At
that time Enoch Wlshard was working
for the same stable. In 1803 the part
nership of McCafferty & Wishard was
formed, and Durnell became associated
with the two turfmen as assistant
trainer.
In 1807 he went to California as
trainer for Galen Brown and there
brought out his first horse, Potente.
He next purchased Dr. Slieppard from
Burns & Waterhouse, afterward tak
ing the horse to England.
Durnell returned to America and ar
ranged a partnership with Emll Herz.
The latter Is a native of Germany, nnd
the present Is his first connection with
racing in this country. The firm has
engaged Jockey Buchanan's riding
services for the winter nnd will retain
Jockey Treanor for lightweight riding.
It has not been decided whether the
firm will race in California or New
Orleans.
Concerning "Rube" Wnddell.
Some baseball managers declare that
"Rube" Waddell, the interesting nnd
eccentric pitcher, apparently has no
idea of the "eternal fitness" of things.
He is something of a spendthrift, and
when he wants money he will promise
anything and sign any agreement to
get it. In this connection It is related
that on one occasion when his services
were in demand and he was being bid
for by several clubs he had an appoint
ment with a manager at the hitter's
hotel. They agreed on salary, and the
contract was drawn up ready to sign.
Then Rube insisted on having some
money in advance.
"I haven't a bit of cash," said the
manager, "but I'll give you a check for
$5<X) if you'll sign."
"All right," replied the eccentric play
er; "produce your check."
The manager went in search of a
blank check, and during his absence a
rival inauager entered the office and
saw Wnddell. He also made the play
er an offer, and Rube told him of the
arrangements already made.
"The eheck ain't going to do you no
good," explained the newcomer; "you
can't get no money on it till tomorrow.
What you want is cash In hand. Come
with me and I'll give you SIOO in cur
rency," and he began counting out the
bills.
"That's what I want," assented Wad
dell. He took the money and when
the first manager returned calmly no
tified him that everything was off.
Lord Derby and Crenceus.
E. E. Smothers' challenge to race
Lord Derby against any trotter in the
world for $25,000 is likely to go unan
swered so fur as Champion Cresceus
is concerned. Mr. Ketcham said re
garding the challenge: "I will not race
Cresceus against any horse this season.
His time is all filled, and I would not
consider any proposition for a match
race. In fact, I could not do so if I
wanted to without having to cancel
several profitable engagements, and it
would be a foolish proposition for me
to do that. Whether or not I would
consider a proposition to race him next
year remains to he seen."
Ynle'H Ittinh Line.
The Yale rush line this year has
four men each of whom weighs more
than 200 pounds. These are Glass,
211; Holt, 205; Goss, 200, and Hamlin,
203. This is sure to be one of the
strongest rush lines in the country nnd
will average several pounds heavier
than that of Harvard. For this rea
son the blue will depend on close for
mation plays.
"Major" Taylor May Quit.
"Major" Taylor talks of quitting the
cycle rucing game. The lot of this re
markable rider lias been none V lO en
viable since ho rose Into prominence,
and he is heartily sick of the whole
game.
Lavift'iie Coliik Abroad.
Kid Lavigne, the former lightweight
champion, will leave on a trip to Eu
rope shortly for the purpose of taking
a lung needed rest.
NURSERY NOTES. "
Try Riving castor oil in warm weath
er with plenty of sugar. The baby's
lips will smack over it.
It is much easier to dress baby on
the bed than on your lap. You will
have both hands free and greater lib
erty of motion.
If the baby kicks much in his bath
it will be well for the first month to
bathe him with his binder on. This
will prevent all danger of straining.
There is nothing children love much
better than small furniture, made for
them. Little chairs they often have,
but low tables are more rare. They
should have them also.
Mothers make the memories that are
to be the inheritance of their children
during all our lives. What a tribute
to mother love it is, when the silver
haired man or woman says: "We did
have such good times when we were
children!"
It is always a good sign for a baby
to sleep a great deal, and delicate and
puny infants who sleep much become
strong and healthy children. Even
babies who are large and thriving at
birth, unless they get a great deal of
sleep, become weak and sickly.
Facial Mn.k.
I have been asked about the value
of medicated face masks, and have
learned the efficacy of n homemade
mask in a ease of severest clogging and
inactivity of the pores. The girl who
tried it made a mask for herself from
two old linen towels, worn very thin.
She made her preparation of oatmeal
boiled to a pulp and mixed with butter
milk. Spreading this on the towels,
she made two flat poultices, widen
covered almost all of her face except
the nose, and, trying it on, she went
to licr room and took a nap of two
hours.
When she awoke her skin looked
fresher and fairer than for a long time,
and, encouraged, she persisted in the
use of her mask, making a fresh one
every day. At the end of a week her
skin was like soft silk, and naturally
she has sworn by her method ever
since. This oatmeal and buttermilk,
or simple bread and milk, or even oat
meal and water, cannot but be ben
eficial to the skin, cleansing it, whit
ening it nnd making it softer and
smooth. Such is the only "facial mask"
I would ever advise.—Exchange.
ClreuNC Spota.
Many a housewife who thinks she
knows the best way to eradicate
grease spots, the most common of all
stains, finds that within a few weeks
after treatment the garment has an
unsightly ring where the spot was.
This was due to the fact that when the
stain was rubbed and the grease loos
ened, it, lacking an absorbent, spread
itself into the surrounding fabric. This
is the right way to remove a grease
spot: Tuke benzine, gasoline, turpen
tine or, best of all, ether, and moisten
a inrge riug around the grease spot,
gradually working toward the center.
When tlds is reached, immediately sat
urate two pieces of blotting paper with
the spirit, place one beneath and the
other 011 top and press with a weight.
By this means the grease will be ab
sorbed as soon as dissolved.
Tarnished Silver.
An enterprising housekeeper bus
made the discovery that the applica
tion of the ordinary oil used in polish
ing hardwood floors is most effective
in cleaning tarnished silver. So many
of the cleaning materials used for this
purpose are injurious to the hands and
keep one's nails and the skin about
them in a constantly dry, harsh con
dition that any simple suggestion like
the above is most welcome. The oil
should be applied with a flannel cloth
and the article given a brisk rub after
ward with another cloth. Candlesticks
and pieces of the silver service, with
beading, curves and crevices out of
whicli it is often so difficult to remove
the pastes and powders, will be found
practically easy with this simple treat
ment.
China With tlie Children.
There are many conscientious fa
thers and mothers who make them
selves and their children miserable by
taking youthful foibles too seriously.
It is an innate propensity of a child
possessed of the average good health
and spirits to make older people laugh
with him, not at him, but at the tilings
that seem amusing to his own sense,
and the mother who lias the blithe and
ready humor to enter into his fun be
comes ids most fascinating companion.
lie heeds licr rebukes and bends to
her correction without 111 feeling where
sternness would arouse his pride and
ire, for he is assured that she is ready
to share all his innocent pranks and
that her disapproval lias no foundation
in impatience or injustice.
1)1 nI iiK Tnlile Centerpiece.
A fern dish with a few growing
plants therein is a pleasing everyday
centerpiece for the dining table. It is
an easy matter to procure one of these
dishes, for the china and even the sil
ver ferneries arc not expensive, while
shallow dishes to lie found in the Jap
anese shops and departments ure not
only cheap, but are effective. At small
cost these may bo tilled with ferns nnd
by the exercise of a little care will fur
nish the ever welcome lilt of "living
green" in the dining room.
The Kflfeet of Miihl on OrcNH.
In choosing an evening dress we
should certainly take into considera
tion whether it is intended for day
light, electric light, gas or candle light,
for all these different conditions have
a great effect. Colors look totally dif
ferent in gas and electric lights. The
former is disguising; the latter shows
every inaccuracy and nothing so much
as a badly matched color and tones
which the French say "bite."
