DAUPHIN COUNTY, the southeastern border
of which is a portion of tho northwestern
boundary of Lancaster county, celebrates the
centennial of its organization as well as the
founding of its chief city, Harrisburg, on
Monday, September IA. Among its founders
there must have been a goodly leaven of
French blood from the fact that the county
derives its name from the Dauphin of France,
the title under which the heir presumptive
of the French throne was known. Elaborate
preparations are making for celebration
worthy OF the county and state capital. The
programme will occupy four days, the formal
exercises being preceded by the delivery Of
commemorative sermons or discourses in the
Harrisburg churches ON Sunday, September
a. Monday will be observed by q closing of
the schools, delivery of historical addresses,
reading of centenary of poem etc. On Tues
day there will be parade OF the military,
Grand Army and the civil and social
societies or organizations in the county. On
Wednesday occurs an industrial display and
procession, and on Thursday grand parade
of the firemen Of the state. There will also
be a notable antiquarian display on Wedncs-
day. The work of organizing the centennial
Is in competent hands, and it will no doubt
be brilliant success. 1t will have deep
interest to Lancaster countians, owing to the
close historical relations existing between the
two counties.

Puss In the Piano.

From the Hazleton Plain Speaker.
Last evening, while the family OF Jacob
Drumtra, who reside on Wyoming street,
were sitting in the dining-roOm they heard a
tapping on the piano. On entering the par
lor where the piano was standing the room
was found unoccupied. The members OF
the family then returned to the apartment
previously occupied by them. They had
not been seated long before the noise
was resumed. Mr.. Drumtra was then in
formed of the mysterious sounds, 1t be-
ing intimated that some invisible visit
ant was haunting the room and drumming
on the instrument The gentleman, how
ever, determined to enter the room and ascer-
tain, If possible the cause of the tapping.
After remaining there short time the
strange performance began again. Mr..
Drumtra quietly lighted the room by turn
ing on the gas, and close investigation re-
vealed the fact that one OF litter OF young
kittens that had recently been bred In the
house had found its way into the piano. and
as it crawled over the strings, produced the
strange sounds. Upon the lid being raised,
the infant feline bounded out OF Is captivity,
mG.e scared than injured.

Law from Lawyers.

= !. n yeCssl eor.e " 5;eunno7n
= 81 q Is e sDaef, of
- z eshd Democrat, and ex-Chief
Justice Agnew, a lifelong Republication
the proposed consolidation Of the South
Pennsylvania and the-Beech Greek lines
with the Pennsylvania, in defariSe of the
fundamental lawof the state. 1t is barely
possible that the people may teach the
Ring managers, who sneer at the provisions
of the constitution as rubbish" seri-
GUS lesson before it is all over. The Ne
publican leaders may serve the corporations
with great personal prcEt; they MP
smother appropriate legislation" in the
legislature, and they may kick anti-dis-
elimination resolutions under the table in
their state conventions; but they will
doubtless find it more difficult to deal with
the swindled and aroused people when they
come to vote on straight issues.
How absurd are Mr.. Chairman CoOper's
harmless little campaign slips about Miss
Cleveland's book, and similar topics,
when we consider the tremendous in
dignation of the people, rising like a
whirlwind in the southern counties
over this last outrage of railroad
monopoly! The issue in Pennsylvania is
the enforcement of the constitution, and
the freedom of land, labor, and business
from lawless and ruinous corporate ex-
actions.
We commend the opinions of Messrs.
Baer and Agnew to Attorney General Cas-
sidy. He may possibly find an opportunity
Of repairing somewhat the grave error of
tha bills of 1888, enabling railroads to in
crease their bonds and stocks to $500, 900
per mile and granting other extraordinary
privileges, in the ostensible interest of free
railroad competition but really for tie ad-
vantage of this intruding Vanderbilt
swindle.

As to Some Mistakes.


An occasional mistake by the president,
: cabinet minister or the head Of some bu-
r6au, In appointments made, is seized upon
with great avidity and paraded with much
flourish by the Republican newspapers. If,
a. usually happens, the appointee COM
plained against u promptly suspended to
await investigation or IL, being discovered
to be unfit, his appointment is promptly
revoked, the circumstance islaid hold of to
prove the weakness and lack of dlscrimi-
nation Of the administration. On the other
hand, 1t is evidence Of its strength.
It is high compliment to the president
and bis advisers that the lofty standard of
prevailing public criticism should be the
measure of their appointments. Time
was, but recently, that such scrupulous
care was not expected in Washington !;
that 1t is now looked for is the best test of
public confidence in the administration g
clean, firm and high-minded purposes.
That appointing powers should be occa-
si0nally fooled is inevitable They must
depend largely on heresay as to the qualifi-
cations Of candidates; and some of the
best men, it seems, will yield to
personal solicitation, to local demands
and to what they consider political
necessities, to recommend persons whose
appointments are not the very best for the
public service. On the other hand, dis
appointed rivals and politicians, inspired
by mean motives, too often exaggerate the
demerits of appOintees and grossl,
color if they do not fabricate, oh
jections to them. But, on the whole
the administration has been singularl,
successful in avoiding serious mistakes
its tardiness in making some expected ap
pointments is easily explained by the diff
. culties attending the selection of the bes
I man between contending claimants; an,
it has been vindicated by the wisdom o
nearly all its appointments and the popula
approval which has followed them. 1t
readiness, however, to correct mistake
= When shown is quality that is only secon'
TO its sagacity in avoiding errors.

President MKeen's Daughters Hasty Flight
From Her Home In Terre Haute, Indiana.
A special from Terre Haute, Ind, says that
city has never, within the memory Of the
oldest inhabitant, received such a shaking
up as 1t did Thursday afternoon, when the
fact became public that Miss Anna Mex cor,
the eldest daughter of w. X McKeen, pr>d-
dent OF the Vandalia railroad, had .6ped
with her fathers horse-trainer, a yorng man
named V. l.. Shuler, better knc~h among
some time Shuler has ber.I paying his ad-
dresses to Miss Mex eer, and within the last
few days confided u come friends his inten-
ton of clipping w;tn her. He had charge of
Mr.. McKee,.s horses, driving the we'll
known bas sHenry, and followed the circuit
last spdng, and was with the trotters this
weeIat Chicago
,shuler telegraphed Wednesday evening to
the night clerk at the National hotel, in Terre
Haute, that he would he down on the early
morning train, which reaches there at 4:i5
O'Clock. He arrived on time, changed his
clothing at the hotel, got Haskeils hack in
front of the house, and drove to the young
lady's residence, which he entered. He and
the hackman quietly carried out her
trunk and placed it on the drivers seat,
and Schuler and Miss McKeen then got INTO
the carriage and were driven rapidly to the
railroad station, where they took the
south-boun $50 train. While their destina-
ton ia not absolutely known. IL is supposed
they were married at Evansville. Miss
McKeen left note for her father, which he
did not get until he reached his office at III
o'clock Monday forenoon. Miss Mckeen
Is about 25 years old Shuler is about 30, and
Is distantly related to the McKeens. 1t has
been known for some time that they were
quite intimate. A handsome personal ap-
pearance Is not one of Shuler's attractions.
Miss McKeen's hand had been sought by q
number OF society young men, and at one
time IL was thought thatshe was about to be |
married to peiSilar young lawyer, men, |
Der of an old family.
President McKeen said Thursday after |

Fred Ashford, an Alabama burglar, was
sentenced to hard labor for five years. He
has served that term, and also five years on
his costs. He has nearly two years more be-
fore his debt on account of his trials ex-
penses are paid. He is paying at the rate OF
live cents per day. " If any device or plan
more devilish in its conception or more
wicked i'm its execution could be concocted

In the late Republican state convention a
resolution mildly declaring for the enforce
ment of the constitution of the common
wealth was incontinently kicked out Like
master, like man. The Chester county Re-
publicans are no better than the rest of them.
In their county convention last week Mr.
w. E. Lockwood offered the following:
Resolped, That the Republicans of Chester
county, in annual meeting assembled, de-
mand the prompt and complete enforcement
of the constitutional provision prohibiting
railroad discrimination, the consolidating of
competing lines of railways and the issuance
to and acceptance by Legislators of free passes
in violation OF their oaths of office.

Try Again.

Gen. Davis appointed an ex-Confederate
soldier, and was obliged to accept his
resignation because of the public clamor
that he was ia fool-or had been seventeen
yearsago
Then he took an ex-Union soldier and in
one short day found that he had got a
knave, and the last man was removed
with more celerity than the first removed
himself.
When the general tries again he should
remember that there are men who served
in neither army, and who yet are neither
knaves nor fools.

A Tramp's FIendish Crime.

A tramp stopped "Wednesday afternoon at
the house of Ezra Golfer a farmer living two
miles from Oxford, N. Y, and asked for
food. When Mrs. Golfer turned to comply
he stepped In, closed the door, bound aud
gagged her and attempted an assault A,
that moment knock was heard at the door
and the tramp answered it He said to a
stranger who asked a question that the lady
OF the house was i'll and must not be dis
turbed. He closed the door, returned, as
saulted his victim and departed.
The husband, returning at sundown,
found Mrs. Golfer unconscious. She was
unable, owing to the gag, to o-call for aid
when the stranger was ut the door. A posse
secured the country for the tramp, but ho
efiectually hid himself

sionS-6u1c5f the association Is to secure pen
D4y and back pay for everybody who ever
was confined in rebel prisons. 1t proposes
TO make bold and shameless raid upon the
state treasury, and does not meet with very
general sympathy from the better class OF
soldiers. 1t is surprising that so decent
man as Senator j. II. Longenecker, of Bed
ford, should consent TO be president OF the
association. 1t is not surprising that misfit
politician and judge like Harry White
should publicly declare that within the past
two months prisoner came before him for
sentence, but learning that the man had been
in prison with him during the war, he took
of two years of his sentence.

THE question OF how to deal with torna-
does has long been puzzling one. These
erratic denizens of the heavens come like
thieves In the night and when they are least
expected. And when they fall upon town
they occasionally lift up houses and lot them
down in n manner that Is at once playful
and horrible. Many intellects have wrestled
with the tornado problem, but with no results
worth speaking of. Now John +. Schultz
writes q letter to the Scientific american
which must end all controversy on the sub
ject. Like all great inventions 1t il simple,
and the wonder IL that 1t was not thought of
before. Schultz's plan is TO blow up the tor
nado with gunpowder. He has observed
that tornadoes move toward the northeast
and he therefore suggests the placing Of a
keg OF powder to the southwest Of the house
or village to be protected. When the
tornado is directly over the keg the powder
is to explode, blowing the tornado to the -four
winds of heaven and thus dissipating its con-
centrated violence. What provision Schult,
makes for keeping all the loose property o
the neigbborhood from being blown along
with tho tornado is not known. There Is one
good point in the plan. 1t arranges for big
sales Of powder In these days when little
railroad building is done, and wars are graft
| fyingly infrequent Perhaps this Is why |
| has such charms to Mr.. Schultz
