AN ENORMOUS OWL.
He Measures From Tip to Tip of Wing Be-
tween Five and Six Feet.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH;
LATRoBE, October 12.-It is said by old hunt
ers that south of Mechanicsburg there is an
enormous owl that measures from tip 20 tip of
wing between and 6 feet, and uses its claws
to open fence bars. The region along the
Loyalhanna is full of hunters, but thus far the
owl has succeeded in fooling them all.
1t is claimed by some that his owlship re-
fuses to condescend to chickens, but lunches
on young lamb and has even an eye on several
young babes in the neighborhood.

EXTRA AND ODD SIZES

Time was when ready-made
clothing was builtupon a single
scale of sizes, the only differ
ence in size being that, taken
as a whole, in every particular,
each garment was a size larger
or a size smaller than some
other one. But this is all
changed now, and in Mems
sizes alone, between SO and So
inchbreast measure, there are
fiftydistinct sizes and styles of
garment. Clothing such as we
sell rs gotten down to a fine
point as to fit, until we can
safely say we can fit anybody
not actually deformed. A lean
man with a fat pocketbook, or

IN disposing of THE REPUBLICAN
I desire to say to those who have
supported and aided me In my eff
forts to establish Republican paper
on solid basis. that I thank you
with all my heart, and will ever hold
you in grateful remembrance. Hay
ing secured the object aimed at, I now
feel that can retire from the oner-
Gus position of editor and publisher
and turn the paper over to more
vigorous hands. My health is such
that I feel the necessity of getting rid
of the cares and worries incident to
the publication of a political paper.
And now allow me TO return my
sincere thanks to all my patrons, and
to ask that you continue your pat
ronage to my successor, knowing
him to be worthy of your encourage
ment. JAS. A. HAYDEN.

Mr.. Archer was registered in the

with which he must have felt this

but merely bowed his head in token
that he heard what was said to him,
and bore himself as if he had ful y

as any other prisoner would have
been.
Mr.. John T. Ford. who was pres

From Free Trade to Free Coinage.

By an easy progression the Demo-
cratic party has followed its advocacy
of free trade with advocacy of free
coinage. The one would have ruined
the industries of the country and
haye placed our working people in
competition with the poorest paid
laborers of the world. The other
would accomplish the same purpose
by a different method-driving out
gold and making us a silver basis
country. 1t is necessary only to
glance southwark to the silver coun-
tries on this continent and consider
the condition of their people to see
the evils that would follow in the
train of silver free coinage here. That
the Democratic party has committed
itself to this policy. the proceedings
at Washington during the last two
weeks have abundantly demonstrat-
ed. In the Senate and the House
alike the almost solid Democratic
vote has been cast for free coinage.
In the Senate Mr.. Vest announced
that the apostle of Democracy, Gro
yer Cleveland, was convert of free
coinage, while Mr.. Mills, the apostle
of free trade declared in the House
that the Democrats would give the
country free and unlimited coinage
of silver. AS for the Republican
party, it can very well afford to meet
the Democracy this fall on the free
trade and coinage platform. created
by the Democratic leaders. and abide
the result in confidence.-Ne,o York

THE passage of the Federal Elec-
tion bill by the House of Represen-
tatives marks another step in the his
tory CT the Republican party and
carries out another pledge of the Chi
cago platform to secure free and fair
elections in every section of the coun-
try.
The cry of the Democrotic press
against the measure only served
to strengthen the determination of
the Republicans to redeem their
promises made to the people and to
make 1t possible for the will of the
majority as expressed at the ballot
box to be the supreme law of the
land.
The part taken in the contest by
our able Representative is source
of qualification to his friends as well
as to every citizen of the District who
believes in fair play.

A SPECIAL meeting of the Mary
land Democratic Editors AssOcia-
ton was held at the Hotel Rennert,
Baltimore, Saturday last, at which
an address to the Democratic voters
of the State was issued. The address
urges harmony and concord III the
party and says that State affairs and
State matters are to be laid aside and
the campaign now approaching is to
be fought on national issues alone.
A casual glance at this remarkable
document is sufficient to show the de.
sire of its authors to draw off the at
tention of the people from the Archer
steal. the painful inefficiency of the
Governor and Comptroller and the
shortcomings of the majority in the
last Legislature and to place the par
ty in good fighting trim for the State
campaign of next year.
We believe the intelligent people
of MARYLAND will decline to have
their attention and recollection drawn
away from these things; we believe
that no Juggling with words, no plat
itudes emanating from some of the
very men who have profited by the
misrule and misuse. probably, of the
peoples money will woo them from
their determination to forever rid
the State of the base oligarchy which
has so long held despotic sway over
her fortunes and her destinies and
made it an easy task through the
ignorance and cuIpable neglect of her
chief officers to rob her Treasury of
vast sums of money wrung from the
hard earnings of her people.
No, gentlemen, the people have
not forgotten these things. They will
respectfully decline your polite and
carefully worded invitation to do so.
They will see you later, and the
vials of their long pent up and right
eous wrath will be poured upon your
DEVOTED heads.

had evidently lain for an indefinite
period. The point of the pin was dis

surface of the heart The pin seemed
eroded and was broken by the scissors

IN A WHALES JAWS.
Remarkable Experience of an American
Sailor in the North Pacific.

Remarkable Experience of an American
Sailor in the North Pacific.
George Leonard, an acting master in the
United States navy during the civil war,
and stationed on the gun boat Katahdin,
West Gulf blockading squadron, in 1868,
told a story of heroism and exhibited marks
on his body that corroborated his words,
says a letter in the Philadelphia Press. The
year 1850 found Leonard as one of the
crew of the ship Enterprise, a whaler, in
the North Pacific One day he was stationed
in the bow of a whale-boat, a long distance
from the ship with brave crew, who had
sighted whale and made Tor the monster
with all possible dispatch. When within
proper distance Leonard threw his harpoen,
striking the fish hard and deep. In some
manner the line, as il was running out,
caught the body of one of the men in such
a way as to throw him overheard. The man
suddenly sank, whereupon Leonard trans-
ferred his line to a boatmate and sprang in-
to the ocean in aid of tho drowning sailor.
The whale now maddened by his fast.
flowing blood, made rush for the boat.
Remarkable and horrible TO relate, Leon
ards friend had managed to regain the
boat, while he himself was caught by the
whale between It's jaws, his position be ng
inside the monsters mouth, with nothing
protrudrng but one of his arms. In this
manner the man was in reality within the
Jaws of death itself. The whale Instantly
plunged down into the deep, and. IN the
words of Leonard himself, ''the fish seemed
to be going down, down into eternity
itself.n
The imprisoned man, after all of this had
not lost his presence of mind. He mustered
his entire bodily strength-and he was u
powerful man-actualy bracing himself in
such q position as to compel the fish 10
spread its jaws; at the same time, with his
arm that was free, he grabbed the sheath
knife out of It's socket, cutting right and
left. No sooner was there sufficient OPEN
ing made than Leonard forced his body
outside.
Up to the surface he swan, when, most
stran ge to say, he found himself within an
arms length of his boat. He was saved.
The marks of tho whales violence and the
dents of its teeth were very plainly visible
on Leonards arms, and he was always
pointed out by his brother naval officers as

We had man named Burrows in our
mining camp, and he was without doubt the
most notorious Ii + Nevada will ever shell
ter writes q New York Sun correspondent
His fame as liar spread for u hundred
miles around, and men used to stop at cur
camp TO get u look at him. He wasn't
wicked man, and he had no malice about
him, but he was natural born liar. He
lied about his father, his mother, his wife,
brothers, sisters and every body else, and
for every hour in the day he had q new
falsehood. He had a claim of his own and
was fairly industrious, aud so we had no
excuse to drive him out, although his lies
were continually kicking up i'll feeling
among the men. One Gay o lot of earth and
rock caved in on him and inflicted fatal in,
juries, aud a numberof us knocked off work
to be with him in his last moments. You
would have thought the shadow of death
would have brought change OF sentiment,
but it did not. Lying there with only an
hour of life left to him, he told us that he
had been a pirate on the Pacific and where
he had buried large amount of plunder.
We all knew that he was from Ohio and
had never seen any ocean; but he stuck to
it. One of the men finally felt it his duty
to say:
Burrows, you have only short time to
live. You had best spend that in preparing
for eternity

he went off soon after that, and we said
to each other that he had given us the
greatest yarn of all No zone took his claim,
which was accounted a poor one, and it lay
for three months before one of the boys dug
into it one day for the pickaxe buried and
forgotten. He hadn't got the pick when he
came across lump of gold which balanced
S13,2S0 IN coin, and every shilling of the
money was sent on to the widow, as direct
ed. 1t got there to find there was no
widow, but six months later went to sis
ter. In his dying hour Burrows told the
truth about his find, but, alas he repented
of it and lied about having wife.
