Harrishurcj, Nov. 9. Now corner
the startling announcement that tin1
gubernatorial candidates will have
to fight thoir own b.ittlos, Sjnator
Quay being reiKirted to have dcclareil
that he will take no part in the cam
paign whatever. List week State
Treasurer Haywood spent a few
hoars with Quay at the lattor's homo
In Bjavor, and when Interrogated
as to how Quay felt on the situation
said that "he wilt keop hand off
th3 coming flrht for governor, as
most of tho aspirants are friends of
his." It is a wall-known fact that
Stone, Widonor and Cjnnell have all
done successful work for tho famous
sonator, and when they announced
themselves as candidates it put
Q lay in quite a pre lioamint, for it
wa3 generally understood that Stone
would have hli support, but since
then, the readers of those lottors are
well aware, there have been strange
developments, and owing to thiis
Quay has decide ! to do his work un
der cover. His lare number of
"faithful" lieutenants in the state
will be made familiar with tho
situation, and although not receiv
ing their instructions direct, will bo
given full knowledge as to what they
are expected to do and for whom it
shall be done. Quay has again gono
to his Florida retreat and will re
turn at the convening of Congress,
so nothing of interest can be ex
pooted from him for a few weeks.
Since Congressman Stone has estab
lished headquarters in Pittsburg and
flooded the state with personal ap
peals for support, it is reasonable to
suppose that Connoll and Widener
will not forcibly intrude thomselvoa.
However, it is not disputed that
they will entor the oontoyt, not with
tho expectation of being nominated,
but in order to koop up thoir popu
larity and insuro rooognitiju .at
so.ne future time. My prediction is
that Stone will go into tho oonven
tion noxt year and after a few
favorites' nainos are presented and
withdrawn he will receive the un
animous endorsement of the con
vention. DECISIONS IN LAW.
An opinion given by Deputy At
torney Genoral Roeder to Auditor
General Mylin decides that when a
lioonse for an opera house is paid the
person paying the license does not
have to pay treasurer's foes or a foe
to an appraiser, as has been the cus
tom in a groat many placas.
In the case of the State against
tha World Benefit Association, of
West Virgina to havo the associa
tion's lioonse revoked in this state,
Judge MoPhorson, of the Dauphiu
county oourt, ordered that tho li
oinse heretofore granted to the as
sociation to trausaot business be
horoby revoked and annulled. Tho
association was represented to
be in unsound condition and it whs
represented that the Post Office De
partment at Washington has ad
judged it to bo fraudulent and re
fused to deliver mail to the home
offioeat Wheeling and the branch
office at Philadelphia.
Deputy Attornoy General Rjeder
has decided that the business of the
Philadelphia Underwriters' Associa
tion, an association of two fire com
p vnios is illegal. It app ) vrs that
the Firo Insurance Association and
tha Insurance Company of North
America organized tho Underwriters
Assosiation about a year ago merely
to reduce the number of agencies
and lessen office expenses. Persons
holding policies in tho Underwriters'
Association will not lose on account
of tha decision, for each of the two
c Jiupauies concerned will issuo poll
ties for half the amount carried
with the Underwriters.
WILL TEST CATTLE,
When the State live stock sani-
'tary board mot on Friday, arrange
ments were made for the enforce
ment of tho new law regulating the
importation of cattle into Pennsyl
vania. The law provides that dairy
cuvvs and neat cattle for breeding
purposes shall , nfu-r January 1,
, 1 vj-t, ,o crtuniiuxl and tented with
tuberculin before being permitted
to coma into this Stale except when
shipped In quarantine to destina
tion Hud examined at the expense of
tho owner by some one appointed by
tho board. This law wns passed be
cause a groat many tuberculous cnt
t!e had been brought into the State.
This resulted in much expense to
1 10 State and loss to tho owners. In
accordance with the act the board
has decided to erect at tho veterin
ary department of the UnivorsityT)f
Pe insylvnnia a building for thee
tests.
NEW SUITS INSTITUTED.
Two large important actions have
1m'o;i brought before Attorney Gen
eral McCormick. The South Beth
lehem gas and woter company and
the Lehigh cool and navigation
company petitioned to have him act
for the Commonwealth in an action
in equity to restrain the Consolid
ated steel and wire company and
other manufacturing concerns at
Allentown from polluting the Le
high river by refuse 'from their
works. Tho Allegheny county light
ompany applied for a writ of quo
warranto to compel I. Jackson &
Bro., Pittsburg clothiers, to show
cause by what right they furnish
electric light to parties outside of
their building.
F.CnO OF THE RIOT.
ft
Tho fact that eighty-throe men
will be called for trinl at one time
in Luzerne county on the charge of
murder is of national interest and
importance, as it will establish a
precedent and define tho duties and
powers of sheriffs Tho trial is set
for November 15th, and is the re.
suit of the wholosale slaughter of
striking miners nt Hazelton by Sher-
iff Martin and his deputies, who are

The choir of Rov. Thos. Dixons
church refused to sing last Sunday
out of sympathy with Professor
Agramanto, their leader .because the
pastor in a sermon the previous
Sabbath advocated the election of
Seth Low for Mayor. The Cubans

American Beaut).
Women of
America ha ve a
type of beauty
peculiar to
them selves.
The climate,
habits, and so
cial peculiari
ties, have com
bined to pro
duce a type of
wo manhood
quite distinct from the woman of
other countries. It has Deoome al
most an everyday occurrence for
the nobility and royal blood of
Europe to cross the water in search
of an American beauty, for the
United States has become famous
thrruchont the world. The Ameri
can beauty is a peculiar product of
this country. She has, nowever,,
one formidable enemy, not only to
her beauty, bnt to her health as
well. That enemy is indigenous to
the climate and soil of the United
States. It is called catarrh. Al
most every woman has it in mild or
severe forms. Our climate makes it
well-nigh unavoidoble. It is the
only natural enemy the American
woman has. Not only is the united
States the home of catarrh, but it is
also the home of the now world
famous catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na.
The medical profession has at hmt
succeeded in devising a remedy for
the well-nigh universal disease.

Winter Wheet Crop.
Up to Oct. 23rd tha acreage of
wheat planted east of the Rocky
Mountains was smaller than that
harvested this year. In some states
planting has oontinued but the
prospect is that the seeding this year
will not exoeed a breadth any larger
than that harvested, and that is de
oidodly less than the average for a
series of years. Tho situation of
that planted is phenomenally poor
Much of the sowing was delayed
waiting for rain, and finally when
sown in the dry and dusty earth the
seed has frilod to sprout, and where
it has done so at all it is uneven and
dying out. The American Agricul
turist says that never in the history
of winter wheat growing has the
prospect at this date been so poor,
and the possibility of growth suffi
cient to carry the plant through even
an ordinary winter, is not encourag
ing. Without good rain? and a
month of growing weather this
oountry faces, if pot a certainty, at
least a strong probability, of the
greatest winter wheat failure in its
history.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
War
Scares Are Numerous
this Country,
in
Intrnctlons to Cunsnl General Ine Ro
port of Pension Commissioner The
Successor to Senntor Gorninn Result
of the Kecent Klectlon.
President McKinloy nnd the mom-
bors of his cabinet would doubtless
be much amused at the persistence
with which now war scares are
launched through the columns of
the yellow journals, Jf the subjeot
were not too sorions nd important
to be regarded from a jocular point
of viow. Seeing how easy the
scares' have been floated and with
what avidity they have boon pushed
along by tho gullible, a gang of
Wall street speculators got up one
and according to tho financial re
ports, they succeeded in floocing
thousands of easily frightened spe
culators out of largo sums of money
by using thoir war scare to hammer
down prices of speculative stocks.
As long as people will swallow any
sort of a crazy story that unscrupu
lous nowspapors may chooso to
print, it will bo impossible to stop
tins sort of thing. Of late, tho Navy
Department cannot ordor a vessel to
bo repaired or tho General of the
Army cannot discuss tho nood of
additional coast defenses without it
being taken in somo quarters to
mean that war is expected in a few
days. The only remedy is for sensi
ble people to exercise their sonso in
the choice of the ne wspapers they
rend. As a matter of fact, while
tho yellow journals of New York
and the speculators of Wall stroet
wore hysterical over tho alleged
danger of war, the President and
his Cabinet wore quietly attending to
the routine duties of their position,
not dreaming ot such an awful thing
as war. It would be expecting too
much of perverse human nature to
expect that this country would
never again engage in war, but it
can be truly said that there is no
danger of the good people of the
country going to sleep some night in
peoco and waking the next morning
to find the oountry at war. Presi
dent McKinloy desires no war, and
expects no war with Spain or any
othor country. Peace and prosperi
ty are what he wishes continued.
The keystone of tho instructions
given to Consul General Loo, who
will return to Cuba this week with
the expressed intention to remain
until the war is ovor, was watchful
ness of the persons and interests of
American citizens in Cuba, and in
order to impress those instructions
the more strongly upon the mind of
Generul Loo, thoy were given in
porson by President McKinloy.
There are no new developments con
cerning tho relations between this
country and Spain and none are ex
pected in the immediate future sen
sational rumors to the contrary not
withstanding. The annual report of Hon. H.
Clay Evans, Commissioner of Pen
sions, has boon made public. It
shows the net increase in the total
number of pensioners for the year
endiug June 30th, last, to have been
5,337, and tha total number draw
ing pensions on that date 976, 014.
There are still seven widows and
nine daughter of revolutionary
soldiers drawing pensions. Among
the important recommendations of
the report are tho publication of
a complete list of pensioners, and
the adoption of legislation by Con
gress that will prohibit the pay
ment of a pension to tho widow of
any soldier of the war of tho rebel
lion who shall marry after tho date
upon which such law shall go into
effect.
Washington Republicans aro
much interested in the selection of
a Republican successor to Senate
Gorman by the Maryland legisla
ture. Location makes that interest
perfectly natural, but in addition to
that is the fact that four of tho gen
tlemen who are being talked of as
probable candidates are as well
known to Washington people as any
citizen of Washington. They are
Judge MoComos, who was put upon
the bench of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia, by Presi
dent Harrison, after having made
an unusual record in Congress for
the length of time he served ; Post
master General Gary, whoso busi-noss-like
administration of his great
department has made him hosts of
new friends and admirers ; Gover
nor Lowndes, who has always been
popular in Washington, and Rep
resentative Mudd, whose qualities
as an all-around nervy iolitioal
fighter have made him liked by the
rank and file of the party. Others
have been named in oonneotion with
the Sonotorship, but it is this quart
ette in which Washington Repub
licans are most interested. With
such men to ohoose from, there is
no likelihood that the Maryland
legislature will make a mistake.
Now that the entire results of last
week's election are discernuble, it is
seen that our friends, the enemy
have been at their old game of
shouting viotory when there is no
victory. About the only plaoe the
Democrats won anything substan
tial was in New York city, and, un
ess Tammany has changed for the
bettor since it was hist in power
that victory will, in the end be
harmful to the Democratic party at
large. The Republicans have gained
another Senator and learned some
useful lessons on tho nooeaaity of
party hurmony that will bu certain
to bear results in tho future. Sno
eess of the party, not of an individ
ual, is tho motto can never be de
parted from without danger.

A Deer Visited Milford.
Last Friday a deer came slowly
ambling up one of the streets of
Milford and after being "shooed"
out of two or three door yards along
the way by ladies, it went up 011
the farm of Col. Lewis just outside
tho Borough and laid down. Borne
sportsmen pursued and finding it
there shot it. Probably tho poor
animal had been chased by dogs un
til tired out, and was slowly return
ing to its haunts, when overtukou
ami killed.
