JUST now there is universal
democratic graduation over the
splendid showing that Cleveland
is making as a pension reformer.
He split on that rock a few years
ago and it may be that his party
will run against this very rock
and knock hole in the bottom of
their craft before the present voy-
age is ended.

THIS is the season of the year
when it is for the interest of the
creditors to be as lenient with
their debtors as it is possible for
them to be. There is good money
this year in giving an honest debt

ces possibly permit.

THERE is not reasonable doubt
that all classes of labor must rule
lower, at least for a season, under
the present financial pressure.
Under these circumstances it is
not wise for the mine and mill
hands to refuse to accept continued
work at lower wages. 1t is only
thus that the mines and mills can
be operated at present, and re-
duced time is better than closed
mills.

SATURDAY, JULY 80, 1898.

SOME of the friends of Stanford
University seem afraid that the
institution is not as certain of re-
ceiving its expected endowment at
the hand of Mrs. Stanford, to
whom the Senator left his estate,
as it would have been if he had
lived. This fear is grOundless.
That institution is as dear to the
heart of Mrs. Stanford as it was to
her husband. 1t was a mark of his
supreme confidence in his wife
that the Senator gave when he left
his immense estate and the inte-
rests of the university to her care.
She will not abuse that confidence.
THE Democrats have already
nominated Mckinley, Harrison
and Lincoln as the. next Republi-
can candidates for the presidency.
They are too previous by half.

nomination when the time comes,
and at this stage of the proceed
ings it looks as if they would do
their own electing as well. That
presidential seat will not be filled
by Democrat four years hence.
THE announcement by Uncle
Sam that he will not receive any
immigrants from Italy, because
the proper precautions are not
taken in examining into the
health conditions of the ships that
are leaving her infected ports, is

safety Of this continent demands.
Those ships will find our ports
closed to them upon their arrival.

turn in season. AS the state was
not able to announce the holding
of the camp until within a few

little tough.

gentleman TO ride for any considerable dis
tance, especially when the train is running
at the rate Of forty miles an hour on a cold,

But this is what recently happened to
such a couple all the way from Ballston to
Saratoga, and the probable outcome of the
incident will be an after-Easter marriage in

The couple In question had gone to Balls
ton to take tea with mutual friend, and to
return by the p. NJ. train. Being a little
late In reaching the depot, and finding the
train under motion, by desperate effort the
young woman gained the steps to the rear
platform Of the last car, and the young man
followed her.
The train was now moving a ra pid speed,
and the young couple. carefully clinging 10

the inside of the car. But they soon dis

TETE-A-TETE WITH A COON.
Eckman Crawled Into a Hollow Log
and Soon Repented His RasIIness.


shamokln Cor. Philadelphia Press.
During the last two months John Horn
berger of Rush Township had good deal
OF poultry stolen by foxes. Yesterday
morning he secured the services of David
Eckman. one of the cleverest shots and
hunters in the State, ana the men, with a
couple of dogs, tracked fox several miles
into the mountain. As each dog wanted to
pursue its own path the men separated.
Inside of an hour Eckmau's dog stopped
at large hollow leg and Immediately en-
tered. In few seconds sounds of furious
conflict were heard, For a while the dog
barked loudly, and then scraped about the
interior as though wishing to get out. Eek
man feared that some wild beast had been
unearthed, and not caring to lose his dog,
stripped almost to the skin, and, placing a
knife between his teeth, crawled into the
log twenty feet.
He found the dog In the embrace OF large
raccoon. The coon started TO bite and
scratch Eckman, and the hunter tried TO jerk
back, when, to his horror, he found himself
wedged in. The more he struggled the
worse became his ENHANCEMENT. All this
time the beast clawed and sank its teeth
into the face and head of the man, who felt
his strength departing. His hands were in
position making it impossible to use his
knife. He tried to sink his teeth into the
eyes Of the coon. and succeeded in binding
one optic. This made the beast more fu-
riOus.
Finally, Eckman thought It best to remain
perfectly quiet. Burying his head under
the body Of the dog, who lay utterly ex-
hausted, Eckman feigued death. The ruse
was successful for. after the coon had
smelled the hunter for few minutes, it re-
treated further back in the interior. For
six hours Eckman remained motionless, his
wounds aching terribly. at last he heard
faint cry from without. aud kicked against
the side Of the trunk. Finally a hambeau
appeared at the entrance. Horn berger,
who bad started to hunt Tor his companion
heard the noise inside the trunk, and. pro-
curing pine knot. lighted it and started to
explore. Finally lie reached the hapless
hunter. and after hard struggle succeeded
In pulling him loose, together with the dog
Once outside Eckman and his dog were ex-
amined Their skin was frightfully torn,
but no vital spot had been touched Eek
man begged his rescuer TO get the coon. The
trunk was fired, and soon the beast darted
from the entrance, when Hornberger threw
rope over his neck and took 1t alive to
