A Rather Killed the Children.

ATHENS, Ga, Aug. 25.-A Madison
county farmer named Wilson went to
the mill 10 day, leaving his wife and
four children contented and happy.
Two hours later he returned to find his
wife lying on the floor insensible, with
the four dead children about her.
When restored to consciousness the
mother said she had taken the baby to
the spring, leaving the other children in
the house. Hearing their cries she put
the baby down and hurried back to the
house, where she found two dead, the
other dying.
The living one said they had been pok-
ing their fingers through the crack in
the floor and hen had been pecking at
them.
The mother went back to the spring
after her baby and found it had fallen
in the spring and been drowned. The
third child had died when she got back
to the house and the mother swooned
away. Investigation showed that the
supposed hen was a rattlesnake.

where the Fashions Come From

Fa shion is called a tickle jadc"-and
yet early every style Is designed with
some special object in view. Often the
manufacturer has created some new ma

whose special designers will study the
goods, its color and texture. and its com

While experimenting with the material
they create some new STYLE To attract at
tentiOn: these designs are reDroduced in
colored plates and sent 10 all prominent
dealers TO give them an idea of the value
of the new material. If these styles are
liked they become the fashion.
Sometimes "a dress made for some lead

Most large establishments in Paris have
special artists who furnish them each
month with certain number of new styles
suitable for the season and the new ma

and the garment made up accordingly.

Ex PRESIDENT CLEVELAND writes Sec
retsIy John d. Worman of the Demo
cratic Society of Pennsylvania as follows:
The Pennsylvania plan for the for
nation of Democratic societies through
out your state meets my hearty approval,
and it is hoped that my friends every
where will adopt it and proceed at once
to form their local organizations. am
satisfied that effective cooperation and
dissemination of Democratic principles
can be more certainly and speedily Sc
cured in this way than in any other that
has been suggested, and it will afford me
pleasure to render you all the assistance
in my power in the prosecution of your
work. l trust that in Pennsylvania, at
least, the resolution of the State Demo
cratic committee passed advising and
enioining the people everywhere to en-
roll themselves in primary Democratic
societies, will be promptly and generally
obeyed."

THE Allentown Democrat, has com
piled the following catechism which
every one ought to study:
Whom does the tariff benefit?
Rich men.
How does it benefit rich men?
Rich men own the manufactures
and by means of the tariff get higher
prices for the goods they manufacture
How does this tariff effect laborIng
.men?
They lose by it,
In what way?
They are the chief consumers and are
obliged to pay higher forwhat they con
sumo.
But they receive higher wages ON ac
count of the tariff, do they not?
Not as a rule. In the ore beds and
stone quarries of Lehigh county these
miners and stone workers ae now get
ting only so cents per day of eleven
hours work, and where they do have a
slight increase of wages it is far below
the increase in cost of living.
Are not the workingmen better Oft
under tariff protection?
No they are worse off, forth reason
just stated-the balanceis against them.
The tariff greatly increases the cost of
living and does not increase their wages.
But the wealth of the country in
creascs under the tariff, does it not?
Yes, in the aggregate, but the in
ere ase is in the hands of the few, there
by dividing the people into two classcs
the rich few and the many poor.

Millions In Iron.

The Itaska Iron Mining company was
formed at Chicago on Tuesday with a
capital stock of $1,000, 900. Some t, :
500 acres of mining property have been
purchased. This property is mostly
located from IS to 100 miles from Du-
luth. Extensive mills and works are to
be erected. and an attempt will be made
to prove that the iron ore can be handled
where mined and shipped as the finished
product cheaper than the raw material
can be shipped east and there handled.
Should this prove To be the case, the
Itasca Iron Company is expected TO prove
a strong competitor with the Carnegie
company and all others of that class
At the same time and place the Rar-
rett Mining Company, with capital
stock of 81 ZOO, 900, was also organized
to operate near the Bethesda Range,
alongside of the Itaska Iron Company's
works
Among the men interested in the
companies are Ex-Governor Campbell
and Allen w. Thurman, of Ohio. New
York capital is behind the scheme,

THE first cost of a sewing ma

THE first cost of a sewing ma
chine is but trifle compared to
that which the final posSessor Is
compelled to pay. 1t is plainly
the middlamen that must have
the profits that keep up the high
prices. In view of this it Is a
pleasure for us to say that We
have finally secured the right to
magnificent machine-"The
Columbla"-that We will be able
to have on exhibition on the main
floor of our building some time
daring the present week. We
claim and know that we
can show that ths COLUMBIA"
is the nearest to perfec-
ton of any machine in the mar
ket successfully combining SIM
plicity, durability, reliability,
speed, strength and beauty.
Some of these eXcellencies are
automatic bobbin winder, double
4-motion drop feed stitch regula-
tor with scale, spring ,ensloh
cylinder shuttle. self-setting nee
die, elf-threading shuttle. ex-
tremely light running and quiet,
and strong and exceedingly hand
some. We will be able to sell
this incompatible machine, we
are still more glad to say, at less
than half the popular prices, from
the fact that we will have no rent
to pay, will employ no one to 60
from house TO house to solicit,
and other advantages we possess
for saving expenditures, all OF
which will be taken off the price
of the machine to our customers.
Every machine is guaranteed for
10 years to be exactly as repre-
sented, a point to be considered.

ONE effect OF the industrial troubles of
the present summer has been to direct
attention to the militia system of the
several states. Aside from that of our
own state, which is confessedly unri-
vailed in perfection of organization
and discipline. the test of experience has
shown that there is room for improve
ment in various important essentials.
A well regulated militia being indispen-
sable to the maintenance of public order,
it will devolve onthe Legislatures of va
rious states to see that their respective
military establishment shall be put on
proper footing for future emergencies

Ind er Wreck and Water.

GREENvHLE, Pa, Aug. 26.-Edward
Fisher, chief carpenter and bridge build
er of Pittsburg, Shenango aud Lake
Erie railroad, and Milton Diefenderfer,
conductor, left here on a locomotive to
look for washouts in Crawford county,
where there had been a waterspout.
The locomotive had just got on cul-
vert north of Conneautviiie, when the
supports gave away. Fisher and Die
fenderfer were precipitated into the
water, the locomotive falling on top of
them, pinning them fast. For an hour
and half the two men kept their heads
above water before they could be cut
out. All the time Fisher was giving di-
rections to the workmen, but about 20
minutes after he was cut out he died
Diefenderfer cannot live.

/ Mr.. PowDERLY is entirely right, says
the Philadelphia Times, in assuming
| that if the government taxes the people
| to protect American labor in our produc-
| tive industries, the government should
have both the power and the purpose TO
/ enforce the intent of its own laws.
! 1t is known that most if not all of our
/ protected industries receive protection
on their products by tariff taxes levied
on consumers, to double treble, quadru-
pie the additional wages paid labor over
the wages of the same labor in Europe.
This is simply protection to monopoly
and not protection to labor.
When Congress taxes the people for
the benefit of American labor, it should
See that labor gets the benefit of the
taxes thus imposed. Mr. POwderly in
sists that tariff taxes levied for protec-
ton to labor should open such indus
tries to the inspection of the govern
ment; and all such taxes not benefiting
labor, but pOcketed by the employer.
should be repealed.
As. long as labor will consent to be
cheated by tariff taxes on the necessa-
ries of business and life, which are chief
ly pocketed by employers, so long will
this monstrous abuse of taxation con-
tinue. In nearly every important pro
tected industry the tariff taxes are large
ly in excess of the difference in wages
paid here and abroad, and when work
men complain or strike, our free trade
in pauper labor enables protected EN-
ployeIs to substitute cheaper labor for
American workmen. Powderly is right

CONGRESSMAN OATES, in an article in
the September number of the North
American Reriep, discussing the labor
troubles at Homestead and the results of
high tariff, says: 1t has induced the in

stimulus over-production has resulted

created for cutting down the expenses of

the protective tariff disappoinus the Ia
boring man and becomes the parent of
trusts, combines, strikes and lockouts
The manufacturer, no more than the
laborer, can helpit, though he is largely
responsible for it. He asks Congress for
the protection he receives and must bear
the consequences. 1t disturbs and dis

Her screams brought aid, but it took

The sister superior refuses to divulge

Virginia was the most populous state in

Now Virginia is 18th. Virginia was a

which accounts, no doubt, for her fall
Pennsylvania is still second and has not
wavered from that place except twice in
1910 and 1920, when she was third.
New York started in at the fifth place.

THE Republicans have more expedi-
tious way of raising campaign funds,
ssvs the Philadelphia Herald, than the
slow process of handing around the hat
for voluntary contributions from the peo-
pie. The fat frying process brings funds
by the bulk from capitalists who are
grateful for tariff favors and expect
continuance of them. People who have
a large money interest in the tariff don
stop with few dollars when called upon
to contribute for the success of the tariff
party, but give with liberality proper
toned to the profits which they expect
to make out of system that protects
their monopolies.
There is the American Tariff League,
for example a body of gentlemen to
MANY of whom a tariff is matter of
large individual profit. Its 1900 MEM
bers have been called on to contribute
800 each, and this in the aggregate
will amout to $50, 900, a very nice sum
indeed to be placed at the disposal of
Chairman Carter for campaign use.
| The Democrats can hand around the hat
for months without getting fraction of
| that amount.
In addition to the hundred dollar con-
| tributors there are the big millioraires OF
the Carnegie order who clear fortunes
every year from their tariff advantages.
! Each of these will furnish enough to
carry a doubtful state if it can be man,
aged to put the money where it will dc
the most good. The tariff system which
has enriched them was never before IL
| such danger from the indignant actor
of those whom it has plundered. and i
Is necessary for them to surpass theil
former liberality in supplying the cam
paign managers with the Doodle neces
sary for the emergency.
Bigger money than was ever befor'
handled by Republican committee vii

and his assistants, but this should no
discourage the plain, honest people from
making their modest contributions t
the Democratic campaign fund who's
object is to disseminate information IL

WTTH the Democratic campaign Wig
orously pushed upon the lines now laid
out, the Republicans will not be free, as
heretofore, to concentrate their arts and
energies upon New York, Connecticut
and Indiana, with probable dash at
the solid South. They must fight for
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New
Hampshire in the East, aud for half a
dozen states in the West which have
hitherto been practically conceded to
them. The real music of the campaign
has not begun yet.

He replied: Il cannot tell how many

matter is almost wholly in the hands OF
our attorneys. They have the list OF
persons liable to charges and when they

will be entered. | can tell you, however,

made. The attorneys have list of 500
to choose from, and We have evidence

THE CAMPAIGN is booming in Chicago.
One night last week 1000 aliens took
the oath of allegiance and secured their
final naturalization papers. Its claimed
that no great effort to complete the
naturalization of aliens and secure the
registration of foreign-born citizens en-
titled to vote has ever been made in
Chicago, and that as result of the un-
precedented work in that direction now
being done at least rs, 900 names will be
added to the voting lists. Two-thirds of
the new voters are said to be Democrats.
