Til Tammany Meeting.
When Lender John C. pheehan o( Tom
ninny Issued on Invitation to the general
pnbllo to be present at the out of door
gatherings, he prohnhly little espeeted the
vast orowds thnt mode two tblrds of Un
ion squBro, two blocks of Fourteenth
atreot In front of Tnmmnny hnll. th pln7B
and Fourth avenue absolutely Impassable,
At an early hour Tammany hull was
Jmntned to the doors, nnd the polloe were
wrestling with the thousands outside who
were demondlng ndinlsston, whloh, when
they did not get It, drove them to the
various stands erected at vantage points
within the space of six blocks of Tam
many hall. The small army of policemen
fought and struggled with the orovd to
keep the streets open for truffle but they
soon gave It up and allowed them to stand
mnssod In front of the stands. The police
who esoorted Mr. Bryan through the lines
had tu fight like tigers, the people refus
lng to move even when the horses almost
trampled upon them. But Jupltor Pluvlus,
who had threatened moisture all day, but
who It was hoped would defer bis visita
tion, took the place of the police force In
dispersing the crowd.
Boon after Mr. Bryan entered Tammany
ball a driving rainstorm started, and It
was not long before at least half the
orowd had sought shelter. Many of them
went home, but many others sought near
by shelter, waiting for the candidate.
Hon. J. W. Keller was presented as the
presiding officer of the meeting, and he
accepted the place with a brief, but ring
ing speech on what he regarded as the
evils of the gold standard. The names of
MoKlnley and Mark Hanna were greeted
with a sibilant storm as fierce as the en
thusiastic outbursts which met that of
Bryan.
When Mr. Keller had concluded, a set ol
resolutions were read and adopted with a
whoop. After ('coloring the unswerving
lanoe of "the Dcmocraoy of New
olty" to Bryan and Fewall and
kig the usual denunciation of gold
and tke corresponding adulation of silver.
Mr. Bryan Compliments Tammany.
After the rending and adoption of the
resolutions Messrs. Bryan and Sewall were
esoorted to the platform amid wildest
cheering and the waving of banners, hats
and handkerchiefs. The audience sang
In ohorns the"tetar Hpanglod Banner."
When quiet was restored, Mr. Bryan be
gan his speech. His voice was rather
hoarse, bnt strong and penetrating. He
began with a tribute to Tammany Hall's
unfaltering Democracy and said:
"I recall the foots that I was present on
this platform on a Fourth of July several
years ago, when I was Invited by you to
take part In your annual celebration of
the great anniversary of our oountry's at
tainment of glorious Independence. The
constitution of Tammany Hall requires
that on eooh anniversary of that groat
event there shall be read from Its pint
form that Declaration of Indopendonoe
Which our forefathers ottered."
Here Mr. Bryan's speeoh was Interrupt
ed by a tremendous burst of cheorlng,
whloh lasted several minutes.
When Mr. Bryan had finished, he show
ed signs of exhaustion. Mr. Sewall, the
candidate for vloe president, was Intro
duced, and, while many of the audienoe
were leaving, made a few remarks of
thanks for the reception. Many peoplo
crowded upon the stands to shake hands
with the candidate.
It was arranged that Mr. Bryan should
peak at the stands erected In front of
lam many hall, on Fourteenth street and
at Union square, bnt the storm and the
candidate's physical oondition prevented
tne carrying out ol this part of tbe pro
gramme.

Canton, U, Sept. 80. Rain fell here
Inoessantly, and demonstrations on she

ticipated thnt the event would he so end
den Mi Whitney, when he left New
York twe weeks sgo to recuperate, did
pot expect to be mnrrled se soon. He ac
cidentally met Mrs. Randolph nt this place
snd decided only last Thursday that the
wedding should take place at once
Mr Whitney was 111 from a severs at
tack of rheumntletn, and about ten dnvs
ago he telegraphed from Newport, R. I.,
foi s-special car sod a massage attendant
WILLIAM 0. WHITNEY.
and proceeded at once to Bar Harbor He
rapidly regained his health, and after
meeting Mrs Randolph, the two deolded
upon the date of the wedding
There art several features whloh tend
to cast s hale of romnnci over the mar
rlBge a oourtshlp of several years, ths
iuddes engagement and hasty marriage.
Mrs Randolph Is ar old friend of the
Whitney family and has been Intimately
associated with them for the past ten years.
While Mr. Whitney, with bis family and
a pnrty of friends, were passing the sum
mer in Europe, six years ago, the oouple
were thrown much in each other's society.
His marked attention to Mrs. Randolph
on various occasions since has given rise
to the rumor in society that they were en
gaged, bnt society was left to speculate,
foi Mr. Whitney kept his own oo tinsel and
did not confide In his most Intimate
friends It was not until yesterday that
he chose to make his engagement and an
ticipated wedding public.
Mr. Whitney's son, Harry Payne, with
his newly wedded wife, Is now on his hon
eymoon. The oouple will start shortly
from Lenox, Mass , for Vancouver, B. C.,.
where they will take the steamship Em
press of India for Japan. Mr. Whitney's
daughter, Mrs. A. H. Pagot, Is, with her
husband, spending the summer In the
Adirondack. She Is slightly Indisposed,
which prevented her attending the wed
ding. Reports of Family Estrangement Denied.
A suggestion that there was any es
trangement In the family on account of
the wedding was denied positively, as all
the members of the family have been on
the best of terms with the prospective
bride.
Mrs. Randolph's late husband was a
captain In the r ifteeuth hussars, oom
monly called the Queen's Own. She was
originally Mies Killth S. May and ts a first
cousin to Herman Oelrlohs, also to Mrs.
Colonel William Jay. She Is the mother
of two ohlldron, the eldest 13 years old.
Mr. Whitney was born In Conwny,
Mass., July 0, 1841. Hols desoended in
the eighth generation from John Whit
ney, one of tbe leading Kngllsh Puritans
who settled In Watortown, Mass., In ltf35.
On his mother's side he Is descended dl
reotly from Governor Bradford, who came
over In the Mayflower. His ancestors on
the male line were men of unusual
strength of character, among whom were
Brigadier General Joslah Whitney. In
18H8 Yale conferred the honorary degree
of LL. D. on Mr. Whitney. He graduated
from Yale In lsHII, and was the valedlo-
torian of his class, dividing the honors In
English with Professor w. D. Sumner,
now of Yale. He was appointed secretary
of the navy by President Cleveland March
6, 1885. He served two terms as counsel
to the corporation Id this olty, beginning
In 1876. His first wife was Miss Flora
Payne, daughter of the late United States
Senator Henry B. Payne of Ohio, who
died reoontly.
Chaunoey Will Take a Wife.
New York, Sept 29. It is assorted on
good authority that Dr. Chaunoey Mitch
II Depew and Miss Edith Collins, his
word, are to be married lu Ootober. The
report that they were to become husband
and wife bas been printed several times,
but never has been oonlirmed. This time
It Is believed generally about town that
the day for their wedding has been set
Tbe lost time that the report was circu
lated that Mr. Depew and his word were
to be married was when young Cornelius
Vanderbilt married Grace Wilson. Miss
Collins bad been traveling In Europe with
a party, of which Mr. Depew was a mem
ber. Mr. Depew was oalled. borne by tbe
sudden illness of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Sr., and Miss Collins came to the United
State with him. They were constantly
together. A few days after Grace Wilson
became Mrs. Vondufbllt, Miss Collins
sailed back to Europe. Now It Is reported
from the other side that she has been at
tending to her trousseau and that she will
return to this country about the middle of
next month to be married to the doctor.
When Dr. Depew Is asked about the ru
mors, he smiles and says nothing. Mies
Collins Is a greut-granddaugbter of old
Commodore Vanderbilt and is an ex
treuiely distant relative to Mr. Depew.

TROt. N I., Sert 87. County Treas
urer George H Morrison, until now one
of tht most Influential and populBr men
Ie Troy, t man It Hit prims of life and
reputed to o worth shout 1300,000 In
Ml own name, wsi lodged ID the Rensse
laet oounty (nil charged with the rmhes-
clement ol f iflO.000, ot practically all of
the money belonging lo ths oounty that
It available at ths present time.
For tome days past rumors have beeD
flying around the olty thnt the county
treasury was In a bad condition, but little
attention wns pnld to them because of the
supposed absolute Integrity of the cGunty
treasurer, who for a number of years had
been cashier of the national hank, whloh
has been declared Insolvent within a week
past, but from which Mr. Morrison sever
ed his ennne otlon more than a year ago to
take the county trnasnrershlp.
It was not until Saturday that these ru
mors gnined any credence, and when It
wns found thnt George Morrison had em
berzlcd nearly every cent In the oounty
coffers, his friends, for he hnd no enemies,
were struck dumb, nnd the first questions
they asked were, "Why did he do lt" and
"What did ho do with the money?" and
the only person who can answer these
questions is the embezzler, George Mor
rison. This investigation was begun at onoe,
and It resulted In finding but 1108 depos
ited to the credit of the oounty In all
bunks In Troy and but a small sum In ths
county treasurer's safe. As near as could
be hastily figured, there should be at the
disposal of the county nearly (800,000. In
the insolvent national bank there Is a de
posit of (40,000, but none of this will be
available for some time yet to oome, and
Kenust-laer county today has possibly 1200
for current expenses.
Rail was fixed at (40,000, and Morrison
was liberated.
The County Will Not Prosecute.
Troy, N. Y., Pept. 80. County Treas
urer George W. Morrison will not be pros
ecuted for his dofulcntlon of the county
money by the county officers, the board of
supervisors. At the meeting of that body
resolutions authorizing the oounty attor
ney tu bring action against Morrison and
calling for the resignation of the default
ing oounty treasurer were defeated, and
while Mr. Morrison, through the courtesy
of the supervisors, will not be proseoated
as far aa the county la oonoerned and will
not be removed from office, he Is left with
practically no power, as another resolu
tion was adopted dlreotlng the finance
committee of the board of supervisors to
borrow (30,000 for contingent expenses.
which amount will be disposed of only on
warrants of the flnnnoe oommlttee.
Regardless of the aotlon of the supervis
ors, Mr. Morrison will undoubtedly be
proxecnted by the city authorities for his
defalcation of the (0,000 of city exolse
money.

hnrhnrinn, who lives only for the

It is a function of our public
schools to train pupils to lead in
such movements ns will best perpet
uate the State. For this reason, each
succeeding autumn, yon the pupils
aro enjoined by public proclamation
to turn asido for one day and con
sider t he relation which the wood
lands of tho Commonwealth will
have to your prosperity when you
nro tho citizens and rulers of tho
Shite. For this-you are askod to
encourage, by your example, the
planting of trees, which will grow
into a sourco of woalth and power.
Thus you may transmit influences
or good, not only to tho next gen
eration, but to those which succeed
it.
A waste acre which produces no
thing is a reproach to any country,
as much as a wasted life is a dis
grace to him who baa led it. There
fore, lend tho weight of your charac
ter and example to the public duty
of covering the barren hills and
mountain tops of the State with
trees, whose leaves will distil mois
ture into the air, whose trunks and
bark will furnish material for our
industries, and whoso roots will aid
in producing frosh soil to replace
that which is washed from our fields
down the streams and rivers into
the ocoan.
If you, in your day and genera
tion, fail to do this, the order of na
ture will be violated and a penalty
will inovitably be invited upon tho
land for whose prosperity you will
be responsible.
The abundance, in future of the
matured fruit of orchards, forests
and fields, will be in proportion to
your individual activity in tree
planting and in forost restoration.
Trees may be planted both in the
spring and in the fall of tho year.
In accordance with a time-honored
custom, I appoint Friday, Ootober
23, 1896, as Autumn Arbor Day, and
earnestly urge directors, superin
tendents, teachers and pupils to ob
servo the day with appropriate ex
ercisos, both by the planting of
trees nnd by the dissemination of
information on the growth and care
of troes and their value to present
and future generations.
Nattian C. Schaeffer,
Superintendent of Public Instrc
tion. OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
There is no better levelor of caste
in the universe than that of our
common schools, where the rich.the
poor, the high and low mingle to
gether on the plane of equality. A
poof man's daughter plays with a
rich man's son, without a thought
of tho difference which wealth plays
in the social world. Our common
school system is not as perfect as it
should be. When the time comes
when it is possible for every child in
the land to secure a practical educa
tion without leaving home, then our
schools will be more useful. Among
the most urgent needs is that of the
consolidation of school districts so
as to provide better facilities in
country districts. Without an in
crease of taxes schools could be
consolidated, and thus give the
scholars better facilities for securing
an education. No fchool should
have loss than two teachers ; for in
all districts are scholars from six to
sixteen years old, who must be
taught according to their ability. In
every school are children learning
their letters and from that up to
those who would like to study high
er mathematics. You soe how im
possible it is for one teacher to do
the work that ought to be done in
the district school. Two teachers
CJuld do this work woll. For years
Massachusetts has tried the plan of
having less districts, and hiring tho
scholars brought to school in wagons
from the outlying districts, and it
has proven a great success.
A NOTABLE BIRTHDAY.
Last Saturday marked the centen
niul anniversary of Washington's
farewell address, and commemora
tive exorcises were held in many of
the public Bchools throughout the
State. If the idea had boon carried
out upon a national scale it would
have been all the better, for there
never has been a time since the ad
dross was delivered when tho coun
try had greater need of Its pntriotio
injunctions than at the present, and
there is no bettor placo for its pro
pagation than the school-house.
ROYAL CHILDREN AS PUPILS.
A teacher is a sovereign, not of
ten however, does an instructor
have royalty represented among his
pupils. A woman teacher has just
died in Hawaii, and of her scholars
it is said that six have ascended a
throne. Thnt Country has seen
royalty roduced to its lowest nnd
meanest terms, and it is possible
that the teacher in question found
the truest kingliness among her
scholars in some of the humble souls
whoso development she wotchodnnd
furthered.
The school house at Long Mead
ow, in Delaware township, hns been
rebuilt this summer, by John and
Marion Dotey, nnd was ready for
occupancy ou the 21st inst. The
work has really been well done and
the building is now a comfortable
one.
Here is a question from the Sep
tember numlxjr of the Normal In
structor, the answer to which will
appear in the October issue, and
which I analyze as found below,
with tho result appended. Th6re is
some difference in opinion concern
ing tho price, but whether right or
wrong, l see it in the way I have
solved it, at present, anyway.
A laborer hired out for one yenr
for 216 nnd suit of clothes. He
quit at the end of 10 months, and re
ceived 175 and the suit. How
much was tho suit worth ?
Had he stayed 1 year,
He would have received $218
plus the suit ;
For 10 months he received 1175
plus tho suit.
In 1 month he was entitled to 118,
plus 1-12 the suit ;
In 10 months he was entitled to
tl80, plus 5-6 the suit ;
But he accepted $175 and the suit :
Hence 1-6 the price of the suit
equals the dir. bet. $180 ana $175,
which is $5, and once the price of
the suit equals 6 times $5, which is
$30. Kiro.
" I. Sickles," in the Dispatch,
last week gave a question, taken
from the Instructor, " or, at least,
one similar to one given in the last
issue of that excellent publication.
It roads ns follows : If A and B to
gether can do a piece of work in 13
days, and A can do as much as B,
how long will it take each to do it ?
Since A does only as much as
B, it is evident that B does once or
4-4 his own work,
Hence :
Once (or 4-4) B's work - B's work,
And, 3 4" " A's "
And 7-4 B's work - the work
of both,
Hence the work of both togother-
7 parts, of which A does 3 pnrts.and
Js does 7 parts : or A does 3-7 of the
work, and B 4-7 of it.
Had either done 1-7 of the work B
did in 1 day, it would have taken
him 7 times 12 days, or 84 days, to
completo the work alone ;
And, since A did 3-7 as much as
B did in 1 day to complete the work
alone he would require as many
days as 3 is contained times in 84
days, which is 28 days ;
And B would require (84- : - 4 - 21
days.
The same in brief :
Let 4-4 - B's work in 1 day ;
3-4 - A's " " 1 "
7-4
work of both in 1 day
13 days -:
U- I - t Ui A 1 ' i . I .
4-7 - 21 da B reg. (

At every return a new woman I find.

Cleaning Preparation. The fol
lowing will bo found an excellent
cleaning preparation : One - half
drachm ether, one-half drachm
chloroform, one drachm alcohol, one
piat of benzine. Shako well and
with a soft rag clean leather belts.
To clean gloves, pour a small
quantity of the preparation in a
bowl or dish and wash them, rubbing
them well. Then rinse in the pre
paration till they look clean. Pull
them into shape, and if white, hang
in the sun, if colored the sun is apt
t fade them. Let them hang in
tho air a couplo of hours. Pull
through your hands and you will
find them as soft and nice as now.
This is an excellent cleaning pre
paration for anything. Do not uso
near the fire as it is very inflamma
ble and it must be kept corked ns
you work with it, as it evaporates
very quickly.

its good none of Us bad, by
having it made with digestion
aiding; ingredients as in
KEYSTAR : greatest raising
strength, no bad effects. No
usa to clog the stomach with
what never helps make flesh
and blood.
KEYSTAR is the one all
digestible baking powder. Just
right for best baking results ;
harmless to a delicate diges
tion. $iooo forfeit if made
with alum or other bad. Fresh,
sweet and pure, all foods raised
with it digest so easily that
you are quickly surprised with
