PHILADELPHIA, Friday July 10, 1885
LII you want to take a last
look at the cobwebs and raf-
tiers and roof OF this old
building, better hurry up.
The builders are swarming
all over the old aerial spaces;
floors and ceilings are
shooting across; pillars have
risen all over and pierced
the roof on their way to the
stars; it is dark in the midst
of daylight; but look over
yonder where the eclipse
has passed!
What! business suspend
ed? By no means. There's
more going on in the dark,
with noise of hammer and
smell of fresh paint, than we
ever saw before in Iuly.
And with reason.
But we close at one o'clock
on Saturday-don't forget
that.

The DEMOCRATS OF PENNSYLVANIA
thought they had q candidate who
would win sure when they rushed Into
the press and trumpeted It over the
country that TerrenoeV. Powderly, the
head officer OF the Knights Of Labor,
had consented to head the serried ranks.
This report was put In circulation by
'he politicians, but now Powderly
speaks for himself and says tha. he
docs not want the office, and more, tina,
be would not have 1t. Mr.. Powderly,
no doubt, sees and knows that there is

hence his emphatic refusal to be a

The Philadelphia Press referring to the
case says: match this for grinding

you cannot, remember 1t Is part OF the
law Democratic Pension Coumis-

case Is this: Mrs. Shaw, an old COL

sons In the Union army, one OF whom
was killed in battle. A little while
ago she applied for pension, to which
hls uesth entitled Der, and although IL
was SHOWN that she had recei we'd his
bounty OF 500 when he entersd the
service, Commissioner Black de,,dad
snac AZ tne woman WAS slave al the

dependent upon him for support and
therefore could not claim a pension,
a more heartless decision oould not
well be rendered. Com mi.aiopar

to put your fingers in
liquids that made them

and if you worked out OF

Just forty years the 10Th of June,
1915, was played the first match game
Of base ball. 1t occurred in HObOken.
n. j., though both the contesting clubs
belonged in New York. This original
match game consisted of only four
innings, the rule then being that the
club first making twenty-one runs in
even innings should be the victor. The
rules did not provide for the calling of
esther balls or strikes, and hence, if
player reached his first base in safety,
his successor at the bat would stand
idly at the hOme-plate watching the
pitcher and catcher as they tossed the
ball back and forth, and waiting for
the latter to let a ball go past him. and
so enable the baSe-runner to reach
second, then third, and then home. He
never made any attempt to strike the
ball until the run had been scored.

Powderly as a Digger.

Il shall never forget an incident
which happened a few weeks ago al
Scranton. 1 am having a new residence
built and when not otherwise occupied
have been exercising myself with a
shovel and pick digging trench around
the building. One evening while so
engaged 1 noticed a strange young man.
with an inquisitive look on his face and
a grip sack in his hand, skirmishipg
around the premises as though look
ing for some one he was unable to
find. He soon departed, however, and
/ thought no more of the affair until I
reached home, when a member of the
family laughingly enquired if 1 had seen
any one while at work. Further infor-
nation developed the fact that the
young man with the grip-sack was a re-
porter who had been sent by my wife to
the new building in quest of me. He
had returned to the house shortly after
with the information that 1 could not
be found. He was then asked if he
had not seen a man there engaged in
digging. lie said: Yes l saw an old
baId-headed fellow digging a ditch, but
find Powderly any where L
think he is about the only reporter who
ever set out TO see me and failed to do

Victoria. 1t was formerly part of the
Arctic relief vessel Resolution, which
went in search of Sir John Franklin.
Papers are piled in a seemingly confused
mass all over the top of the desk and
hide the leather cover, but they are
kept in place by cunningly wrought
paper-weigh:s of every conceivable
shape and pattern. In writing the
President uses steel pen and redwood

poodle dog Hector, who thinks that.

There are numbers of towns in Yer
mont where no democratic vote was
ever cast. Lincoln belonged for years
to this class. But one year, as they
were counting the vote, the old citizens
who had control of the ballot box were
amazed and Mortified to discover in it a
Democratic vote for governor. There
was hasty consultation among the
Judges, who were all staid and cOnser-
yatiye men. Then one of them rose up
solemnly, and holding the ballot to
sight, said impreSSively; I'VE have
found in the box ballot for the Demo
cratic candidate for governor. Did any
one cast it?" There was no answer.
"We thought it was mistake" said
the Judge, and he threw it on the floor.
