THOSE Republican newspapers that
made such great ado over Mr.. Richard
J. Fanning's flop from the Democratic
party in the camp of the enemy have
been singularly delinquent in keeping
their readers posted on the later per-
formance Of that gentleman. Mr.. Fan
ming was the clerk of the supreme court
of Ohio, elected by the Democrats to that
responsible post. At the recent cleo
ton in that state Mr.. Tanning was
candidate for reelection, and not only
was he badly beaten, but he ran far be-
hind his colleagues on the Democratic
ticket. Straightway Tanning professcd
change of heart. In Democracy his
pure vision deserted nothing but cor
ruption; he cut loose from his evil sur
roundings and took the stump for Gar
field and goodness. OF course the Or
gans announced this important CONVEX
sion with a flourish of trumpets. Some
person with an inquiring turn Of mind
got to looking into Mr.. Fanning's official
career and discovered that it had not
been unmarked by the ways that are
dark and the tricks that are vain. With
the prospect of 4 prosecution for NAL
feasancc in Office staring him in the face.
Mr.. Tanning Las just turned into the
state treasury the sum of $3.50 illegal
fees and overdrawn salary. The organs
have not yet heard Of this. Mr.. Fan
ning's room in the Democratic party is
better than his company. He and his
peculiar practices are better adapted to
his new Republican surroundings.

A lad named John Linisbiglcr, aged IL
years, was found near Pottstown a day or
two ago, hungry, ragged and forlorn. He
said his father, Henry Linisbigler,
about two months ago, without any appar-
ent cause, ordered the lad out of the house
and forbade him ever to enter it again,
and since that time he has been compelled
to sleep under hay stack, and for
food had to depend upon what he
could beg and what he would manage to
lay hold ON occasionally in his fathers
house by slipping into the cellar uuawares.
The boy managed to get along in this
manner pretty well until the cold nights
came on, with sleeping under haystack
was not comfortable. Accordingly ho
sought his fathers house for shelter, but
he was put out and the door was locked on
him. When questioned as to his mother and
the balance Of the family, he stated that
his mother had been dead over two years,
and that sister, aged 18 years, two
brothers younger than himself, and a
young Iwoman named Sybilla Seasholtz
constituted the balance of the family.

Two Fra:no Dwelling Houses Burned.
This morning between ono and two
o'clock the residence of Isaac IIabcckcr,
Lititz, was discovered to be on fire, and in
a short time was burned to the ground To-
gether with an adjoining frame dwelling
house, also owned by Mr.. Habcckcr, and
occupied by the families OF Henry Emig
and Jacob Palm, the former of whom Oc-
cupied the lower and the latter the upper
portion of the house. SO rapid was the
spread Of the flames that it was with diff
Guilty Mr.. Habccker and Mr.. Emig saved
their furniture even in damaged condition,
while Mr.. Palm lost nearly of his-having
assisted the others in getting out theirs
until it was too late to 80 up stairs and
save hisown.
1t is not known with certainty how the
fire originated, but it is supposed to have
caught from stove in Mr.. Habeckcr's S
house, as the night being cold, the family
! had kept Il good fire burning up to the
time they went to bed with q view Of
keeping it all night.
Mr.. Habecker's' houses were substan-
tial two story frames, with only q fOur-fOot
alley between them. They were worth at
least $1,000 each, and are total loss,
though partly covered by insurance.
Mr.. Emis is the barber at the Lititz
Springs hotel. His loss is not heavy, but
| he is put to tho Inconvenience of looking
up new homo.
Mr.. Palm is laboring man and loses
nearly everything hc had, and, with his
| family, is thrown out Of a home.
The only fire apparatus in Lititz is an
| old hand-engine and 4 few chemical cx-
tinguishcrs. They could do nothing to-
wards saving the burning buildings, but
prevented the flames from spreading to
adjoining properties.

A New ENGLAND contemporary has
some strong words in regard to the sinsu
lar aspect which the senatorial contests in
New York and Pennsylvania have as
sumcd. 1t is pointed out, with unerrine
correctness, that in each case the "boss >
system comes boldly to the front, and,
practically, one man audaciously assumes
to decide who shall and shall not be his
colleague in the highest legislative body
in the land. The people are to have no
say whatever in the choice Of;the man who

fact, and one that is start!ingly suggestive
of the present condition Of our political
system in the two greatest States Of the

OLIVE LoGAN's ADVICE TO GIRLS
a woman's safeguard is to Keep mans
hand off her. If you need his assistance
in walking take his arm instead of his TAX
ing yours. Just tell him in plain Eng
lish to "hands Off" He may not like it at
first, but will respect you tenfold more
Men will be and do just what women allow
them to do. Men will not do to trust
Give man your arm and you will fnd him
very 'eoutidential, and he will take,a great
many privileges that he would not stake If
he were not permitted to do so. IIe will
give your arm many loving squeexes and
sly twists that he should have no opportu-
nifty of doing, and that opportunity is just
what he Is after. A few more words of ad.
vice and l close: Keep your girls off the
street except on business. Teach them, that
it is unnecessary to goto the postoffice every
time they 60 out. Girls can walk alone as
we'll as boys. Don't allow your girls,
if they must have beau, to 60 with boys
older than themselves. If possible, instill
into their very nature that they are safer in
their own hands than they arc in the hands
of any man.

A THOUGHT.

The summer rose the sun has flushed
With crimson glory may be sweet;
lis sweetcr when the leaves are crushed
Beneath the winds and tempest's feet
The rose that waves upon its tree
In life sheds perfume all around
More sweet the perfume floats to me
OF roses trampled on the ground.
The waving rose with every breath
Scents carelessly the summer air;
The wounded rosa breathes forth its death
Its sweetness far more rich anil rare.
1t is truth beyond our ken,
And yet q truth which all may read
Ii is with roses as with men,
The sweetest hearts are those that bleed
The flower which Bethlehem saw bloom
Out Of heart all full of grace,
Gave never forth its full perfume
Until the cross became its base.
