--Belva Lockwood OF Washington, D. c.,
lectured in Cassler's Rink last Tuesday
evening under the auspucies of the Wealth.
erly Lecture Course Association. Her sub
ject was Tendencies of Parties and Ma
tions." Fully four hundred people were
in the Rink to hear the "queen of the
American Bar" The lecture was a sue
cess financially and otherwise, and the AS
sociation feels very much encouraged in
their venture. Eli. Perkins will probabl!
be the next lecturerer. A specia
train was chartered for parties from
Beaver Meadow and Audenrled and tn
lecture was well patronized by the citizen
of those towns. Mrs. Lockwood is a re
markable woman and she has crowded
houses wherever she goes.

Fire at a Bull Fight.

CITY OF MEXICo. April 4-Dispatches
form Celaya give details of a frightful cal

A panic seized upon the vast ass emblaee

TIE plaza was constructed of wooden masts,

majority of the people escaped without
injury, being able to force an opening per-
mitting an exit at different points, but many
women and children jumped from the top

ALTHOUGH the Democrats did not
succeed in carrying the Rhode Island
election last week they Iednced Blaine's
majority o: over 5000 three years ago,
TO less thar 1000 for TAFT, the RepubIi-
can candidate for Governor. 4 reduc-
tion Of 1000 in the Republican majority,
and that too on full vote, don't look
much like a victory for the grand old
party, so called. 10 addition to tbs il
is a consolation to know that the Con-
stitutioual Amendment aboIishine the
property qualification for voters of
foreign birth was adopted, thus placing
thousands of foreign born citizens On
the registry lists. Heretofore in that
State every foreign born citizen was
required TO cgSs S,3I SIC. worth of taxed
property Before he could vote for State
officers. There are over 81 600 such
citizens in the Safe. but as tney could
not vote even il they were naturaiized.
only a few except those having the ne
cessaIy property have taken the trouble
TO be naturaliZnd. 1t Is estimated that
about 5000 of these foreign born citi-
zens had paid the necessary taxes and
were qualified TO vote az the late cleo
tion, and that 1000 others had been
naturalized, but could not vote owing TO
the property qualification. The law

shot by Ht. Girl. Bro,ner

PARIS. Tenn, April 7.-Kennedy Porter
son of Ex-Governor Porter, was shot and
probably fatally wounded here Thursday
night about IL O'Clock by Will Edmunds
The origin of the difficulty is supposed 70 be
the attention of young Porter to Edmunds,
sister. which the latter objected to. and had
frequently threatened TO kill him il he did
not desist. Porter had been out driving
with Edmund's sister that night, and had
returned the team to the stable and had
started up Depot street towards the square.
when he met Edmunds about the Blanton
House. who told him that he was going to
defend himself.
Edmunds then fired. the ball, a 3S-ealibre,
striking Porter in the left breast Just below
the collar-bone, ranging downward. On
hearing the threatPorter drew his pistol, but
too late. On being shot Porter fell and was
soon after removed TO his fathers residence,
where he now lies in precarious condition.

Bright, of Huntingdon, were summoned

POwderly on the Right Track.

General Master Workman Powderly,
OF the Knights of Labor, is moving in
exactly the right direction when he asks
for an educational fund for the proper
instruction of workingmen on all Ques-
tions which affect labor.
That ignorance has cost the working
men OF the country many millions of
dollars, Is a fact so Latent that none
can dispute ii. a want of thorough.
practical knowledge of the best methods
OF promoting the interests of organized
labor, has caused two-thirds ot all the
labor strikes Of the country, when clear
headed and discreet direction would
have won for labor vastly more without
strikes than has been won even by tho
few strikes which were in any degree
successful.
When Eckley B. Coke was a witness
before The House strike committee in
Washington a few weeks ago. after his
examination had beer gone through
with, he was asked wAat he could sug-
gest 10 tranquiiiZe labor and harmonic
it with employers. His answer was
Better common schools" Those three
words express a volume on the labor

become more and more intelligent the
more valuable is their labor, the more
wages they command aud the easier are

ment, not passion and prejudice inspir-
ed by demagogues, always rules in such
cases and just as education shall in

THE Washington correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Times says the President
IS giving much attention TO the selection
OF person of the requisite abilities and
experience for the Chief JustIceship.
He has determined, the correspondent,
says, not to make a promotion from
among the present Associate Justices OF
the Court, nor viii be take any one from
lis Cabinet. He has considered the
merits of the many persons whose
names have been brought to his atten-
tion, but they are beyond the age upon
which he has fixed. The President has
intImated to those who have conversed
with him that he intenGs TO select a
suitable person, not over sixty, and
would prefer TO find ore OF fifsy-fiye.
He evidently does not intend 20 ac

THE following double-leaded editorial
from the last issue of the Washington
Sunday Capital, an administration
paper, shows, if the writer is correctly
informed, that the newspaper scandals
of the last Presidential campaign are to
be surpassed during the one now ap-
pIoacEing. The Capital says:
''Intimations come TO us from various
quarters that, in view of the existing
probability that tbs present administra-
tion is TO be continued for another four
wears, the mud batteries of the Repub-
lican press are being loaded up for a
malignant and scandalous assault upon
tbs President of the United States and
some of the members of his cabinet.
II is reported thai, in the hope of infl1-
enciDg the action of the convention to
be held at St. Louis during the first
week in June, there is in contemplation
a grand dump of the mud now being
collected prior TO the meeting of that
| convention. We do not propose to in
dictate what is the purport of the narra-
tives with which these mud machines
are said TO be charged, but we under
stand that for atrOcity and baseness
they have never been excelled in the
history of political warfare ia the Uni
ted States.
at seems to US that il will require a
good deal OF courage for any new spaper
to undertake the publication of the
scOundrelly stuff which is now I'm pro-
cess OF preparation, but it is reported
that encouragement in the work is fur
| nished from high quarters. We hear il
said that two Senators of the United
States are among the abetiors of the
proposed actack upon the head OF the
Government and mis- advisers. Well
all we have to say is that the Constiiu.
tiOn of the UGited States does not for
bid the election of a fool to the United
States Senate. We presume, IL this re-
port be correct, that these statesmen are
so fully prepared for public examina-
tion of their own private lives and fsmi-
ly relations that they can afford to figure
as the patrons and employers of a band
OF expert liars in the manufacture OF
scandals against men for whom the
American people entertain the greatest
possible respect"

THE late Chief Justice Waite died a
poor man, but he left an uutsrnished

can be said at the death of some of the

that he might keep up the style that was

BENJAMIN HARRIS BREWSTER died
at his residence in Philadelphia on We'd
uesday of last week, in the seventy
second year of his age. At the outset
of his career in life he acted with the
Democratic party, but subsequently be-
came a Republican. He stood high in
his profession as lawyer and was an
eloquent ard forcible speaker. During
the first term of John w. Gesry as Gov
ernor of the State, he htld the position
of Attorney General, and shortly after
the assassination of President Garfield,
and the resignation of Hon. Wayne Mac
Weigh, then Attorney General of the
United States, President Arthur ap-
pointed him as Mac Veagb's successor.
The death of Mr.. Brewster recalls his
scurvy treatment by Governor Geary.
and the resulting quarrel nearly twenty
years ago. Geary was candidate for
reelection in 1869, his Democratic op-
ponent being Asa Packer. The returns
from Philadelphia were purposely held
back and Geary was finally counted in
by the meagre plurality of 4, 500. Mr..
Packer was urged by Democrats as well
as Republicans to contest the result,
but as he did not care for the office he
declined doing so. As soon as the So
called Official vote was proclaimed Geary
asked Brewster for his resignation,
which that gentleman at first refused to
give aud wrote bitter letter to the
Governor declaring that the demand
for his resignation as brought about
by certain men WHO threatened to count
Geary out unless he (Brewster) was dis
missed. Subsequently to this Brewster
forwared his letter of resignation to the
Governor concluding it in the following
cut and thrust style
You write to me demanding my re-
signation, and assign no cause, but
leave me open to imputatIons, TO which
l will not submit. / will not permit

nouRced to me as corrupt factionists, /,

lation, To me lt is Indifferent which,

hanchman j. &. SchileS will probably
never forget an experience he had at his
ranch near Piedra Parada during the cod
spell in January. Mr.. Schiles only went in
last summer, and has a comfortable little
house under the shelter of the foothills.
TIE weather preceding the cold spell in
January. he says, had been beautiful, and
be was out on the range every day. On
January IS il began to get cold, and the
thermometer dropped from 46 degrees above
zero TO Is degrees below. On the following
day it went down with lightning rapIdity.
and MS spirit thermometer showed 3s degrees
below at nightfall. Each day for a week
was colder, and the lowest point attained by
the mercury was if his thermometer is ac-
curate, So degrees, which was noted In the
afternoon of January II.
Mr.. Schiles for four days did not leave the
house. On the opening of the third cold
day he noticed hat bear and deer, which
had been unusually plentiful during the
winter, began to come down to low ground.
and on the morning of the fourth day he

out of range. The intense co Id prevented
him from following. and after laying in

weather had passed.
During the day the bears returned and

night the weather was SO cold that Mr..
Schiles was afraid to go to sleep and kept a

night was made hideous. he says, bv the
coyotes and bears. The animals pressed
close against the house and be could hear
them fighting for places particularly near
the two windows from which the light en-
anated. Once or twice one OF :he animals

house as if to brake il in, and the deer were
heard uttering plaintive cries during the
