THE BAKER ballot law, under which
the recent election was held, provides
that any political party which polls 3
per cent. of the entire vote of the state
at the election next preceding at which
any state was voted for, may make and
certify nominations. The totals in the
state are as follows: For supreme
Judge, Dean (R,), 5lO,292; Heydrick D),
A4e,OO1; Briggs P.), 22,3o2; McCombs
Peoples Party, 7O31; Triest Socialist
Labor, $40; making total of 9S6,l66,
and 8 per cent. of this total would be
1885, so that the Prohibitionists fall
1892 below the number necessary to
give them the right to nominate can
dicates. While we have very little
sympathy with the Prohibition Party
SIS partisan organization, yet the fact
that thoy are political party can not
be disputed, and they have sometimes
even in Pennsylvania held the balance
of power. They are, therefore, entitled
to have their candidates placed upon
the ticket in the regular way and with
out the difficulties that now stand IN
the way This is one feature of the
Baker ballot law that should positively
be amended in the next legislature.

Capt A. G. Weissert, commander
in chief of the G. A. r., has just settled
a question that for long time kept
the organization in a state of ferment
Almost since the formation of the
Grand Army there has been trouble
south of Mason and Dixon's line when
ever colored post was about to be
organized Charters have often been
refused by the state department,
where colored veterans made applica
ton. A protestscame TO the order the
other day from e colored post in Texas
, saying that neither of the departments
Z, of Louisiana or Texas would issue {
charter. A letter had previously beer
received from the department of Texai
e citing the same instance and asking
for instructions. Capt Weissert i'm
. mediately ordered the charter to bI
issued and declared that unless thi
was done he would take steps to fore
the white veterans TO obedience o
!. drive them out of the Grand Army.

PENCIL PHOTOGRAPHS
or WELL KNOWN METHODIST
CHURCH WORKER


shoemaker, Newspaper Worker, Physician
and Pastor.
1t is pleasing for me this week to
present the pencil photograph of the
esteemed pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church, to the ADVOCATE
readers.
REV. GEORGE W. DUNCAN.
The subject Of this sketch, George
Washington DUNCAN, was one of a
family of seven children born to the
late Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin DUNCAN,
native Philadelphians who moved to
Monroe county, this state, where Mr..
DUNCAN first saw the light of day on
the 2nd Of May, 1s49. The father of
George DUNCAN followed the business
of shoemaking and in later years also
| that of halter; the former trade was
learned by Mr.. DUNCAN following the
early years of school life. lie was less
than twenty-one years of age when he
bid good bye to home and friends and
iourneyed to Philadelphia, where for
a time he was a sort of general utility
man in daily newspaper Office in
| Germantown. His objective point, how
ever, was to become a physician, so a
little while later we find him reading
medicine with DR.. Walker, and then in
1876 he graduates from the Hahneman
Medical College, Philadelphia. For
five years he followed this profession
when in 1881 the NJ. E. conference in
session at Philadelphia, licensed him
to preach. His first charge was at
Tannersville, Monroe county, where he
was stationed for three years; then he
filed a charge at Richmond, North
ampton county, for three years, follow
ing which for three more years he
: filed a charge at fremont, Schuylkil
, county; and he is now filling his fourtl
consecutive yearly appointment here
in this city. Rev. DUNCAN IS married
to Emma, daughter of William Nc
Donough, also of Monroe county
l They have two children, Robert, whit
r is in Baltimore. Md. and Miss Mary
who is at home.
/, During the past year Rev. q. W
I DUNCAN has had charge of the NJ. +
= church at Packerton also. He is
hard, earnest, sincere worker, and is
= preacher who "has something to sa
o and says it right when he does say il.
g During his pastorate the NJ. +. churc
b has been enlarged, remodeled, improy
n ed and beautihed, until it is safe t
o say that it is one of the prettiest an
e contest edifices in this town or Vale!
It The church building at Packerton ais
e has been greatly improved and remoC
'f eled through his eXertions Beside
l. his church work Rev. DUNCAN has SUI
o ceeded in establishing a free readin
n room in the NJ. f. church.
s. His reappointment to the charl
d here at each conference for four COZ
re secutive years, something altogeth'
If unusual shows that both himself an
% family are fully appreciated by h
n congregation. The conference limi
le the reappointment of pastors to OF
es charge for greater length of tin
lg than five years, and it is the espresso
IS, wish of his congregation that whC
,e conference reassembles it will rea
TO point him to the charge here.

A scranton Man Gets $4,000 for Being
Injured at Mud Run.
The last echo from the great Mud
Run disafter on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad on October 10, 1888, whereby
GO persons were killed and over 100 in
jured, was the payment the other day
by the railroad company $4,000 to
Andrew McGurren, Of Scranton, in
settlement of his claims for damages.
OF the many claims for damages for
injuries and loss Of life filed against
the company all were settled long ago,
except that Of McGurren, and with the
payment of this the great catastrophe
passes into history. This cost of the
accident, one Of the greatest in Ameri-
can railroad history, TO the Lehigh
Valley Railroad approXimates s2OO,O0O
ranging in amounts from a few hun
dred dollars 10 $1,000, 1t is a remark
