FIGURES, III polit cal c.n ests, some
times show queer footing ups But in

were more singular than usual. For
instance, Gen. Harry White, in his

standing, White 1890; Patton, l3,
$50 majority for Patton, 1000.

GOVERNOR elect Pattison declined
to attend Democratic jollifcation in
Chester county last week, "unless it
was gotten up by the people regardless
of party bias" This was sensible.
His first appointment, that of his

new Governor is disposed to start

some items of news from our quiet town
might be of interest to your readers, |
send brief account of the closing ex-
ercises of our Academy, held on last
Friday night. The exercise was not
as in former years general exhibition
in which all the pupils appeared on the
stage and participated in the perform
ance, but select entertainment. The
increased number of students in at
tendance this year made the former
exercise quite unpracticable, there being
over go pupils. The public exercises
on Friday night showed wisdom in the
selection, care in the preparation, and
skill in the music, and in the delivery
of essays, declamations and orations.
The performance lasted nearly two
hours. The audience was well enter
tanned and when, at 9 o'clock, the end
of the programme was reached, many
left saying they wished there were
more performances to be enjoyed.
Another new feature of this enter
tainment was two pieces of instrument
cal music, which, though the selections
were difficult, were so well rendered as
to give good hope that this department
will soon take its place side by side
with the vocal training which in our
school has always stood 'par eroel-
le;ace."
Many of those pursuing their
studies here during the term were
teachers, and will go to their winter
work without delay. Others, with
those who are not ready, enter
school till the Winter term, will re.
turn on Nov. 9th. Till then our
little berg will be unusually quiet.

Il DIAMOND SNATCHEK.
The Adventures of Stylish Young Man.

khc -ANScHtUFcS OA u otylISn 1OuuS Mau
"Snatch .em-Billy" Henderson, arrested
in Philadelphia on suspicion OF having
smashed Jeweler Liggins's window and
stolen his diamonds, is one Of the most
desperate criminals in the country, has
served several terms in prison for various
offences. His favorite game is bank
saatching," which consists of grabbing up
bundles OF notes in counting houses and
offices where the greenbacks are handled
in great sums. He was sentenced to five
years in Chicago for robbing firm in that
city of sc, 200 worth Of jcwelry in a novel
manner, but after serving a part of his
time he was pardoned and released
from custody. Henderson was also con-
nected with a big robbery in Philadelphia
several years ago, when 81, 900 worth OF
per cent, bonds were stolen from Grant s.
Aulrs office, at No. 20 South Third street.
He has been confined in all the principal
jails of the country, and is a very desper-
ate man. He has been in the city ut ill.,
tervals for six months, staying at re-
spectacle boarding house on South Ninth
street. While there he made love to the
daughter of the landlady, and she, think
ing he was gentleman and not having
any idea of the bad character he bore,
gave a favorable ear to his suit. The two
were engaged to be married, but William S
attention will be called in another direc-
tiOn and the engagement will be broken.

Handling Him Gingerly.

Our esteemed Republican cOntempora
ries display considerable frankness and
ingenuity in dealing with the latest can
didate of their party for mayor. The
Etaniner holds him to he Il ''cOnsistent
Republican, deeming this no doubt in
accord with its recent declaration that
he was "chrOnic Officehelder.' 1t
seems to hope" he will receive the united
vote of the party" apparently holding it
to be no harm to give little taffy to 4
man whom it has declared twas once
made a candidate and elected because of
his facility for lying, but SO overdid the
business that he was defeated for re.
election
The New Err cannot say much better
for him than that, after entering upon
his second term with majority of AS,
he was defeated for reelection two years
later by majority of 53-notwithstand
ing " some detection among Democrats "
and that many" Democratic votes were
cast for him the change of 5Ol against
him being brought about in two years of
his administration. Nevertheless under
the circumstances nobody else
would take the nOmination-the E.m
considers Stauffer's selection strong.
Under the circumstances " we can
pardon the Ne~ Era's misappreheusion
that concerning the weak point - in
Mayor Stauffer's first two years of ad-
ministration there was an unusual
amount of exaggeration and misrepre-
sentatiOn.' On the contrary, on that
point-of taking illegal fees and drawing
hundreds of dollars from the county
treasury to which he had no shadow OF
right-there was only told the even and
exact truth by the INTELLIGENCER.
Before the election Mayor Stauffer
swore that he had been libeled, but he
strove to prevent the truth of our accu-
sation being legally shown, and after the
election he abandoned the suit behind
our backs, although the editors of the
INTELLIGENCER were amply prepared
to demonstrate to jury the strict and
ample truth of their charge; and this,
too, notwithstanding some of their best
evidence was locked in the old safe -
of the mayors Office and the key un-
happily lost. If Mayor Stauffer's friends
must recall this matter-to his eminent
disadvantage-the truth of history re-
quires that it should be recited correct
ly. Ii he wants it demonstrated before
a judicial tribunal there will be no plea
Of Imitation or atret0is acquit
from this quarter.

The Examiner, with that high appre-
citation for school interests and the
tendencies of modern educational
methods =" which distinguishes it of
late, affects fine scorn for. those who be-
gin educational researches in " digging
out cellars for school buildings" and
the prospect of Seventh ward
butcher - in the school board fills it
with horror. As the Examiners party
has elected Schwebel to the school
board and is running Doerr for council
in the First ward perhaps it will conde-
scend to explain by what "modern edu-
cational method it distinguishes be-
tween a Republican who digs sewers
and Democrat who digs cellars, and
