SHORT WASHINGTON ITEMS
Of course Russia don't have to read
the petition carefully.
About the average democratic
progress has been made during the
past week In the Issue hunt.
It is learned that President Castro
captured three revolutionists in the
gallant charges made last week and
the week before.
It is believed that the New York
Commercial Advertiser started the
wild rumor that the Bryan editorial
pump was sucking Hand.
An agreement has apparently been
reached between Hussia and this
country whereby Manchurinn ports
are to be opened by the Chinese
authorities to American trade.
The Washington Post prints an
editorial under the legend '-Cleveland
and the Third Term." Oh yes, it
will be remembered that there was,
some weeks ago, a Cleveland third
term boom wandering around loose.
It is now proposed to grab up the
Cleveland sentiment en masse and
leave it over onto Mr. Olney. It is
understood of course that the transfer
will not be made until just at the
moment of crystalization, when the
product can be most easily gotten
hold of.
The announcement that F.urope
would receive a visit from Mr. Bryan
to study the currency question was
refuted with indignant shouts by his
friends. What! Should Finance
himself study finance? But when it
was found that the Nebraskan was to
study European sociological questions
the threatening lioters dispersed.
The lobby which compelled congress
to repeal the army canteen law
against the protests of army officers
and all others who had any practical
knowledge of the question, has instal
led itself in Washington ready for
business the coming session. The
lobby is now engaging in a crusade
against the proposed establishment
of a federal opium monopoly In the
Philippines.
There Is strong talk among poli
ticians of selecting a republican
candidate for vice-presidency from
Ohio, either Judge Taft or Colonel
Mvron T. Ilerrick. Should Ohio
secure the candidate and Mr Hanna
continue as chairman of the national
campaign committee, as it is now
believed he may care to do, Ohio will
continue to be quite close to the
centre of the political map.
While the end of the postoffice
investigation is said to be in sight
the overhauling is still going on
systematically and vigorously. Drafts
and checks are being traced. Grand
juries of the different cities are hear
ing witnesses and now and then new
charges develop against already
implicated officials. All in all it
looks as though thorough sanitary
methods were being employed to
cleanse the foul hole.
It seems to have been a false alarm
given out that Columbia was ready
to quit monkeying and get down to
business on the canal question. The
opposition appears to be as strong as
ever, whether it is transcontinental
railway Influence, Columbian greed
or what, it looks as though we
should have to turn to Nicaragua in
earnest, where, In fact, a good many
people think we should have gone
- originally to start the digging.
People of Washington are having
a hot time of it. It has been decided
that restrictions shall be placed about
the district auditor's ofllce so thut
no more 173,000 embezzlement! shall
be allowed, government franked
envelopes are no longer to be used for
private purposes and automobiles are
now required to be numbered so that
speed violators cannot escape the cops
And then there is the postoflice
matter. With any more restrictions
public office holding and pleasure
seeking won't bt worth while at
tcmplim;.
The Oldest Paper
The oldest newspaper iu the world
is tho official Chinese Kin-Pan
which was founded about 1,100
years ago. Up to the year 1301 it
appoarbd once a month and the
reading mutter nun ted chiefly to
court life. Since 1030 up to 1S7C it
was a daily.
Working Niyht and Day
The busiest and mightiest little
thing that ever was made is Dr.
King's New Liver Pills. These jails
change weakness into strength,
listlussin'DS into frin-ry, tiraiu-fng
into nn ni..l jiower. They're wou

UNDIGESTED SECUBITIES
They Result in a Rich Man's Panic
in Which the Public is not
Interested
The bulls and bears of the stock
market have lately been having a
monkey and parrot time down on
Wall street. Stocks have been ham
mered np and pounded down and
what, has been termed a rich man's
panic has been in progress.
Tho whole secret is simply this :
In the consolidation of largo corpor
ations millions of dollars of stock
have ben issued which represented
absolutely not one dollar of value.
It was water pure and simple. The
syndicates which undertook to un
derwrite these vast sums, that is to
float these stocks by selling them to
the public, found that tho small
investors throughout the country
declined to buy. Tho "undigested
securities," as Mr. Morgan termed
them, were not in publio demand,
the poople declined to put their
hard dollars in Morgnneered stocks
so they were left on the hands of
those who issued and undertook to
float them. On 'the one side the
bulls, for purposes of their own, at
tempted to force the pricss up and
on the other hand the bears as a
gamble tried to keep them down,
and the stocks became a game of
shuttlecock between the two gambl
ing interest. If the publio having
money to invest would confine its
purchases to l'gitimate securities
having intrinsic valne and lot the
stock issues composed wholly of
fictitious value severely alone it
would not be shorn of its money by
the gamblers of Wall street and
would have no interest in their
manipulation of the market, in
which tho welfare of the lambs is
not for one moment considered.
The Pope is Dead
After a straggle for life which
amazed the world and while whisp
ering blessings on those at his bed
side, Pope Leo XIII died Monday at
four minutes past four in the after
noon. The government of the
Catholic church has passed into the
bands of the College of Cardinals,
with Cardinal Oraglia at the head,
until tho coming conclave shall elect
a successor to the dead Pope. The
funeral services will last for nine
days and began Tuesday after the
Pope had been officially declared
dead by the cardinals and tho body
had been embalmed.
He was born March second, 1810,
at Carpinetto, a mountain village,
not far from Rome, and was a son
of Count Ludovico Pecci and Anna
Prosper! Bugi. He was educated
in a Jesuit school in Rome and in
1830 Vincent Pecci, that being his
name, matriculated among the
theological students of the university
and in 1832 received his degree of
doctor of theology . Ho was mado a
cardinal in 1854, in 1877 he was
created camerlango or Vioeroy of
Rome in the absonce of tho Pope
and in 1878 he was elected on the
third ballot by the Cardinals Pope
and took the Dame of Loo.
Amendments did not Pass
Owing to negloct of the last legis
lature to pass the amendments to
the constitution previously adver
tised they will not be voted on this
year and if it is desired that they
should become law tho whole work
must be done over again inasmuch
as the constitution provides that
amendments shall rocoive favorable
action from two successive legisla
tures before they are submitted to a
popular vote, Tho amendments in
question provided that tho discharge
of a jury for failure to agree, or
other necessary cause, should not
work an acquittal ; nnd that all local
bills should be submitted to a vote
of the people affected before being
presented to the legislature for pas
sage. It cost the state 130,000 to
advertise these proposed amend
ments after their pasMtge by the
legislature in 1901.
Growth of Libraries
As showing the stupendous
growth of libraries in this country
it was stated at the twenty-fifth
annual meeting of tho American
library Ubsociation held at Niugara
Fails tbut since May 31, 1902, the
enormous sum of tlO.lSUG, 407.61 had
been donated to American libraries.
Of this sum Mr. Carnegie is credited
with having given tS.CT'J.OOO.

Small Fruit Culture
The department of agriculture of
Pennsylvania has just issued bullet in
No. Ill on small fruits, their origin,
culture and marketing by Prof. Geo.
C. Blitz.. To all raisers of fruits
whether for market or home u.e this
bulletin would be of much value. It
gives methods of cultivating, propo-
gating, pruning and remedies for the
diseases which infest vines and canes.
It also gives best varieties to cultivate.
The total value of small fruits
raised in the state is est! mated at
11, 208,827 raised on 5G07 acres. The
total average estimated in Pike is 14
on which is raised 2,5M worth of
small fruits or at the rate of f 182.57
an acre.
Monroe county has 27 acres in small
fruits on which are raised fS,727
worth or at the rate or f;S23.22 an
acre. Will some one explain why
the small fruits in Monroe are worth
$1 40.05 more an acre than in Pike.
Unless it be that our friend Schwarz
has taught the people of that section
how to do the trick, for no one knows
better than he just how to make
small fruit funning profitable as his
success has fully demonsi rated.

A MYTHICAL FORTUNE
Many Vcny,) Chasing a "Shyinary."
Pwre of Ptythifal
Fort r.r. p
For several years heirs of the
Whitakor family, the American
branch of which originated in
Chester county, hive been in juir
snit of a monster fortune of two
hundred miilion dollars said to he
lying in tho Bank of England. One
member, Rav. . (4. Whirnkor, hns
been ardent in hi efforts to collect
money from !; ties interested as rel-al-ies
some foiiitcen hundred in all
and nt various times has rec?ived
sums to nid in trneitij; the fortune,
A letter from the chief accountant
of tho bank says there is no such
sum, nor in fact any amount what
ever on deposit there belonging to
Whitaker heirs.
Tho alleged foundation of the
fortune is that. John Whitaker of
Dowinrjtow n, a robust torv, had in
1776 loaned King George HI one
million dollars which amount he
was paid for a farm of loo acres nenr
that town nnd which has since been
accumulating nt compound interest.
That any such sum was paid for a
farm of that size at that time is
sufficiently absurd and the state
ment now by tho bank ofllcials that
the fortune is a myth should pre
vent further imposition. The offic
ials ot the bank further say that
there is less than JI1000 JOOO
rcmaining in the bank unclaimed.
This should ft. at rest the numer
ous stori'M that lnrua fortunes await
jn-ojier claimants who have only to
establish their identity and relation
shij) to secure fabulous sums from
the van ts of the Bank of E-igland.
