THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Although a mini pervades political
affairs Rt the present limo, the coming
campaign promises ti) be conduct -d
on whirl-wind lines, at It'ast in so fur
ns the republican side of it is con
cerned. Probably never before has
such a galaxy of able speakers been
summoned together as those who
have signified their willingness to
speak this full. Kver since the ad
journment of Congress, Colonel
Casson of Wisconsin, sergeant-nt-arms
of the house of representatives,
has been working indefatigably with
lliis end in view, nnd, judging from
u letter he wrote recently to o friend
in the department of agriculture, his
work has not lx-cn in vain. This
formal campaign will le opened by
the secretary of the treasury who
w ill address an immense audience in
Itoston on October 8. Secretary
Wilson will speak in Iowa, and the
attorney general has promised a
number of brilliant speeches on the
trust question, although time and
place has not yet been determined.
The three great leaders of the house,
Representatives Payne, Dal.ell and
Grosvenor, w ill lie heard in Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and West Virginia and
probably in several other states.
Speaker Henderson will be provided
w ith a private car and will elucidate
republican doctrines in almost every
doubtful state, if any state can be
properly called doubtful. Represent
ative Littlctield of Maine, whose
reputation as a powerful and persua
sive orator is well-known, will go to
California to assist in the good work.
Representatives Land is and Watson
w ill take the stump and work with
exceptional energy. Representatives
W. A. Smith, Corliss and Hamilton,
all of Michigan, will be heard in
many states outside their own. The
great meetings to be held in the
large cities will be cared for very
largely by prominent senators,
Messrs. llanna, Foraker, Spooner,
Quarles, McComas and others having
promised every assistance. The re
publican committee lias been econom
ical in Its expenditures for literature
w ith a view to conserving its funds
for the purpose ot enabling the lead
ing exponents of republican policy to
explain by word of mouth the bene
fits to be derived by retaining a
strong republican majority In Con
gress. Mr. Murat llalstead will
address New York audiences on the
Philippine question and Mr. Ferdi
nand Ziegel, president of the Com
mercial Travellers' Club, will address
Swedish, Polish and German audi
ences. In the light of the vigorous
campaign which will be conducted'
by the republican leaders the efforts
of the democrats seem somewhat
futile.
Mr. W. A. Wishard, solicitor of
internal revenue of the treasury, has
just returned from Indiana and de
scribes tlte situation iu that state
in glowing terms, lie says that a
full corps of state officers, with the
exception of governor and lieutenant
governor, will be elected and that he
regards the prospects of every repub
lican candidate as good, notwith
standing that the campaign has not
actually opened. Mr. Wishard bases
bis sanguine predictions on the fact
that the democrats are badly divided
and are fighting among themselves.
He says the tree silver democrats and
the gold deiuoci'aU cull never unite,
that they are both absolutely tena
cious of their own views and are sus
picious of each other. In fact, he
states that iu ninny Instances the
hatred by the silver faction of the
gold faction is more bitter than that
felt for the republicans. Under these
circumstances, there will be much
scratching of ballots and the republi
can ticket w ill be elected by a major
ity of from 15,000 to 25,000.
would have made for its longer life
in the state, but the Tillmaiiisiii is
disgusting to tin; bi tter element and
that the sooner the voters appreciate
that their only alternative is to elect
democratic candidates, the sooner
the state may be placed ill the repub
lican column. W hile Senator 'nil
loan's nephew was defeated at the
primaries in tiie eu'iK-inittoiial coii-te.-t
and in that defeat u certain
amount of pr-siige will be lof t to the
"pi o hfui k senator" nevertheless the

gold democrats who realize that so
long as such men can control the
party the currency of the country
would not be safe in tlielr hands.
A building which promises to lie
one of the most beautiful in the city
of Washington is nearing completion
and will be ready for occupancy in
October. It is the Carnegie library,
for the building anil establishment of
w hich Mr. Andrew Carnegie donated
to the city of Washington 1.150,000.
The building which is an Imposing
structure is built on massive lines
with little attempt at ornamentation.
In addition to a reading room for
adults, one for children and a news
paper room, it contains accommoda
tions for approximately (300,000
books. Every attention has been
given to the lighting and ventilation
anil the niassi veness of the walls is
a guarantee that it will remain a
boon to Washingtonlans and a monu
ment to the great benefactor many
years after his generation shall have
passed away. The committee which
lias the matter in charge is making
arrangements for elaborate dedicatory
exercises and it is anticipated that
Mr. Carnegie will himself be present.
The death of Congressman deUraf-
fenreid of Texas will be a matter of
regret to all who have come In con
tact with the genial Texan. Mr.
de Graffonreid's death came very
suddenly, while be was staying at a
Washington hotel, away from friends
and family. He was a powerful
man the picture of health. In fael,
he was generally known as "the
Rlack Eagle of the Piney Wyods,"
a title for for which he had a reat.
The news comes from New York
and Is generally credited, that the
great anthracite coal strike will end
on next Tuesday. The fear that the
price of coal would be seriously en
hanced by the forced idleness of the
mines has been an occasion of worry
to the repubican leaders as they
feared It might have some effect on
the fall elections but that fear Is dis
sipated by the encouraging news in
regard to the mines.

Han Off a Bank
As Frod Long of Port Jer
vis with a lady was driving
over the approach to the Mott street
bridge on the Milford sido late Tues
day night the horso Bhied against
the insufficient railing snd fell. In
its efforts to get up it plunged down
the steep bank taking the wagon
and its occupants to the bottom.
The lady was somewhat bruised but
the man and horse escaped injury.
It is a dangerous pi mm and the won.
der is that the accident did not re
sult more seriousl v. Perhaps this
will be au incentive to the commis
sioners to take some action looking
toward saving the county a possible
large bill for damages.

Vaudeville at tb Bluff Houss
A very amusing entertainment
was afforded at the Bluff House last
Saturday evening which was highly
sueonssfnl both In nttendanr-e and
the fun enjoyed. The several ac
tors were happy in the roles essayed
and all were applauded to the echo.
Mr. Ganzonmuller, the manager,
was particularly funny in his parts
and was highly commended. He
was ably assisted by Mr. Philip C.
Hevilich. Mr. E. A. Taylor acted
as stage boy with kinka nd knots
on his legs and he took the part to
perfection. The show was for the
boncfit of the Bluff House orohoBtra
and the silver collection taken, (52,
evldoncod the appreciation of the
audience, which numbered about
350.
The coon songs were excollent,
the dai-cing by Miss N. Mack was
an especially good foaturo, the cake
walk by Miss Mack and Mr. Gnnzen
mullor was the very pootry of Af
rican contortion und the soul of
darkey spiit. The piano solo by
Miss Cunningham showed fine ex
pression and the touoh of a master,
the elocutionary effort by Miss Mar
ion Brown was an effeotive render
ing, and Geo. Bull's singing was
greatly appreciated.
The entire programme was as fol
lows :
Overture by the Bluff House or
chestra. '
Piano solo, Miss Cunningham.
Miss Marion Brown, elooutionist.
Spanish dance, Miss N. Mack.

Cocoa Hulls as a Stock Food
The Pennsylvania experiment sta
tion has recoutly received for exam
ination a sample of ooooa hulls of
fered for sale as a cattle food. This
is the first appearance of this ma
terial in the Pennsylvania cattle
food markets that has oome to the
station's attention. The husk makes
up 12 to 20 per cent of the entire
bean, of which the Unitod States
imports over forty million pounds
annually. These hulls are used to
a considerable extent in preparing
coatings ot cheap oonfeotionery, and
for making a cheap drink. Their
use as a cattle-food has been little
studied. The sample received had a
ohooolate brown color arid the ooooa
odor and flavor. Albert fed ooooa
bull to steers, in quantities increas
ing from one to twenty pounds, and
found they soon were fond of it and
that its feeding value was interme
diate between that of meadow hay
and wheat bran. It promises to be
a desirable addition to our list of
commercial feeding stuffs, though
not of sufficiently high grade to
warrant its purchase at a price.

Vm of Both Hands
There are people who can use
either band for most purposes and
it seems a very sensible accomplish
ment. Where one hand is used the
other can take up the work and so
more can be done without fatigue.
A writer in one of the magazines,
who has been studying Gorman
methods, affirms that in this as well
as in some other matters the Ger
mans assuredly beat us. He says :
"In the boys' mechanioal depart
ments in the Gorman sohools much
of the work is done by the left hand
under compulsion. The boys are
taught to plane, saw and hammer
with the luft band as well as with
the right. The scholar is also taught
to draw large circles on the black
board, first with one hand and then
with the other. Man boasts that he
is the highest animal, and he is the
only one who cannot use all his
limbs with equal facility. Man uses
his eyes equally well and also his
legs, except that most people kick
with the right foot, but how few
can use more than one baud to ad
vantage. And this is so simply be
cause of lack of early training."
Doctor Could Nut Huip Her
"1 had kidney trouble for yeais,"
writes Mrs. Riymond Conner of
Shelton, Wash., "and the doctors
could not help me. I tried Foley's
ivulucy Cure and the very first dose
tiitve u.e relief and I am now cured.
I cannot nay too much for Foley's
Kidney Curs," told ut Armstrong's
di n st an.

Tuesday night but the proprietor
bring awakened frightened the man
away. A sash was almost entirely
out ont.
Senator Piatt of New York assorts
that the strike will be settled before
the middle of this month but gives
no reasons for his declaration. To
outsiders there are no indications as
to the time when it will terminate.
The Deer Park company's beer is
having a large sale in town and is
becoming a general favorite with
those who use the beverage. If yon
will drink beer it is safer and heal
thier to use the best brew and that
is the Deer Park.
Erie detective, Frank Klly,
brought two men giving the names
of Thomas Payne and Oliver 8. Lan
sing down to jail Monday on a com
mitment from Henry Dewitt, Esq.
They are charged with stealing a
ride, carrying burglar's tools and a
police club.
Dr. C. W. Roberts is pushing the
improvement of his place. A liber
al use of paint renovates the fence
and buildings, (he rooms for the
chemical baths are being completed,
the tubs have arrived, the porte
ooohere is being built, and every
thing betokens rapid progress.
A fire last Saturday morning in
Port Jorvis burned the block bound
ed by Pike and King streets in
which was the Delaware House and
stables, the stables of Donahue, the
paint shop of Barlow, the undertak
ing rooms of Carrigan and a couple
of residences. The buildings were
all old and highly inflammable. The
loss is estimated at about ('6,000.
There was some insurance but not
nearly enough to cover. Eighteen
horses wcro burned in the stables.
A Narrow Escape
President Roosevelt narrowly es
caped severe injury, and perhaps
death, Wednesday morning while
riding in a coach with several gen-
tlomen from Pittsflold to Lenox,
Mass. The dray was hit by an elec
tric car and Secret Service Agent
Craig, who was riding in the box,
was killed, D. J. Pratt, the driver,
bad his skull fractured and after
ward died, Socrotary Cortelyou was
out about the head, Governor Crane
was somewhat bruised, and the
president was cut on the right side
of his face. He however soon after
proceeded on his journey to Bridge,
port from whence he will return to
Oyster Bay.
A Boi l Wild Rid for Life
With family around expeoting him
to die and a son riding for life 13
miles to get Dr. King's New Discov
ery for consumption, coughs and
colds, W. 11. Brown of Luesvillo,
Ind., endured death's agonies from
asthma but this wonderful medicine
gave inijtunt relief and soon cured
him. lid writes: "I now sleep
soundly every night." Like mar
velous cures of consumption, pneu
monia, bronchitis, coughs, colds aud
grip prove its matchlnss merit for
l all throat and lung troubles, (luur

Driving Park Races
Thongh the attendance was not
large the sport at the races last Sat
nrday was never better. The first
race especially was hotly contested
and the horses as woll as the drivers
entered fully into the sport with de
termination to win. The horses
were handled by experienced driv
ers, particularly Rusty, Who was
driven by Hon. L. J. Martin, than
whom there is not a more export
enbed turfman in this section, and it
bocame evident that thoy were on
the track for business, and that both
knew how to do it.
P. C. Herrlich was starter, M. L.
Stontou and J. II. Van Etten judges
and Dr. W. B. Kenworthey held the
watch.
The third or 3-minnte class did

A Fad or Rich Women
Some curious and interesting facts
are revealed by the annual report,
just published, of the treasurer of the
"Massachusetts Association Opposed
to the Further Extension of Suffrage
to Women." The most striking
thing about it is the small number
of persons who have contributed to
the association, and the large size of
thoir contributions. It shows the
correctness of the popular belief that
the anti-suffrage association Is run by
a little knot of rich women who are
exceedingly comfortable themselves,
and are therefore inclined to think
that all women have all the rights
they ought to want.
The receipts of the anti-suffrage
association f r the past year were
(2,310. This amount included only
fourteen donations of less than five
dollars apiece. Nearly a third of the
whole was given in lump sums of a
hundred dollars each.
Comparing this with the report of
the treasurer of the Massachusetts
Woman Suffrage Association, one is
struck by the much broader basis
upon which that society rests. Its
receipts for the year were (3,420,
only about a thousand dollars more
than those of the anti-suffrage associ
ation, but this (3,420 was made up of
contributions from more than twelve
hundred different persons.

Prohibition Alliance
The monthly meeting will ag.iin
be held at the home of E. S. Wolfe
next Monday evening.
The alliance idea seems to meet
a wide spread demand for some
means of uniting the foes of the
liquor traffio It has had a wonder
ful growth since its inception a
trifle over a year ago and there are
now over thirteen hundred alliances.
The work of the late Sheriff Pear
son of Cumberland oounty, Maine,
in praotically banishing the liquor
trafllo from that oounty, including
the city of Portland, so enthused
the prohibition sentiment und creat
ed such a demand for more work of
the same kind, that after the recent
death of Pearson the republican
governor of Maine appointed one oi
Poaraon's most active deputies to
fill ouf the term, notwithstanding
the strongost efforts of the ring pol
iticians to secure the appointment of
a mirfi of the "can't do it" stripe.
When Pearson took the office a year
ago last January he simply an
nounced that liquor sellers would
have to quit and if there was to ho
any shooting ovor it his doputios
had been instructed not to come in
seoond in any such action. They
quit as auy rther criminal does
when he knows the officer intends
to enforce the law.
Josh Westhafor of Loogootoo,
Ind., is a poor man but be says he
would not ba without Chamber

stiff and swollen joints, ooutracted
muscles, stiff nock, sprmus and
rheumatic and muscular pains. It
has also cured numerous oases of

I often wonder if it would not be
a great accommodation for every
business place to be open twenty
four hours a day seven days in the
week.
In no other town do business
places koep opon as ninny hours ns

Mrs. Amelia Rosnnkrans of New

Of course it will. Election is draw

Brothor Warren is worried about

Does it pay to keep any domesti'o

The new Bryan cabinet has not
yet been slated. Tho cabinets
which were to havo been, of 13.H1
and 1900, will require some chang
ing for 1904, since sovornl of tho
members have slid over into tho
ootopi class.
The Honorable James Griggs, tho
new democratic oraolo, seems to
have suddenly subsided. Possibly
he is simply giining headway for
another series of full head on rush
prognostica toons of democratic vio
tory. The first sign of sagacity in tho
democratio party was tho spectacle
of Mr. Gorman and Mr. Hill in con
ference at Saratoga. They are ri
vals of course, but thoy are not as
devoid of sense as somo of the party
loaders.
The democracy is beyond doubt
sorely in need of a leader, but it is
in yet greater need of a few funda
mental principles which will mean
the same thing north, south, east
and west. The party has not such
a resource today.
An indication of the enormous
amount of business that tiio rail
roads of the country are doing in
performing their part of the coun
try's commorciul activity is seen in
a statement of the Baltimore V Ohio
