HARRITY AND HEYDRICK.

II it is true, as stated, that National
Chairman and Secretary of State Harrity
has found a candidate to take up the
dropping banner of his party in ex-Judge
Heydrick and that he proposes to make
that gentleman the standard bearer of
the state Democracy this year, the uues-
ton of the next Governorship is settled.
General Hastings will have foreman
worthy of his steel, but he will defeat
him by a majority which will not fall
much short of the handsome one given to
Hon. Galusha A. Grow last February.
Lookout, however, for surprise Judge
Heydrick may take it into his head that
Mr.. Harrity and the state administration
cannot toy with him at pleasure, and the
Democracy may have to cast about for a
more available man; and in such case
they will take up pronounced protec-
zionist whose Democracy has never been
offensive and whose craftsmanship and
well-known executive ability will, with
his popular views on the tariff issue, make
him a favorite from the moment of his
entry. Is it impossible to find such a
man in the Keystone State | do not
think the woods is full of them, but some
very knowing Democrats think they can
discover such one, who can, with the
tariff issue eliminated from the canvass,
make it very lively for the Republican
favorite, the hero of Johnstown.

Some are here to-day and gone to-mor-

goes on forever-plying his soaking bust
ness.
There are chronic office holders who,
like Dickens Oliver Twist cry for more ;
with this difference-little Oliver needed

Messrs. Losch and Phillips postponed
their Shenandoah trip until later on.
They will be welcome at any time to this,

the same-over their own signatures
We nominate d. c. Henning, Esq, for
chairman of the next Republican county
convention and ask him to admit none
but delegates and accredited newspaper
representatives.
Notice to candidates 1t is not too
early TO set up delegates and announce
yourselves in the newspapers; it is much
too soon to go around with a brass band,
as many are doing.
The naming of Chairman Whitehouse
for Congress is looked upon very favorably
In some circles, and it is also regarded as
betokening the withdrawal of Mr. Losch
from the field at a certain time.
"Never look a gift horse in the mouth"
may be very well applied to the candidate
who is named for an Office which has not
been looked for. The honor and distinc-
tion is meant for some good purpose,
The speeches of Messrs Brumm and
Shoener at the First Defenders banquet
should have been published in full by one
or the other of the four enterprising
county seat papers. The fact that they
were both good efforts and that both men
are prominently before the public Just
now, warranted full reports.
1t is most pleasing to note the contin-
uance Of naming good men for Office this
year. 1t proves that our efforts to have
ing deep root. In this connection it is to
be hoped the solicitations of Councilman
McElhenny's friends to get him to stand
for Sheriff will be successful. We regard
your popular restaurateur as not only en-
tirely competent but the kind of man
who would make successful run.
The editorial in Saturdays Despatch en-
titled, "Where Reform is Needed !" is very
much to the point on the necessity "of
deyising some plan that will result in the
selection OF better men to serve as Jurors
We are pleased to have the Despatch's co.
operation in this move and heartily com
mend the whole article, especially the
closing sentence which is "The notion
that the office of Jury Commissioner is a
sinecure at the disposal of both political
parties, must be dissipated and men
chosen who Will perform the responsible

A Veteran C0nauctor ON the whims of
Passengers.
No one but the experienced passen-
ger conductor knows just how whimsi-
cal and cranky the travelling public
really is. A traveller may have some
peculiar fad or notion when he is on
the road, but he never dreams that
there are thousands of others just like
him, Or perhaps worse. In years of
experience the conductor rubs elbows
with all sorts of people, and in spite
of himself becomes mind and face
reader who takes back seat for no
one except the professional.
"Yes, travellers are superstitious and
cranky" said a veteran knight of the
punch recently in response to a
query. II think the average passen-
ger conductor deals with more oddities
daily than the curio collector of q
freak show. AS to superstition, 1

Chairman Tom Carter OF the repub

incident which shows that your true
Virginia gentleman's love for cock
fighting has not lost it's edge since the
days when Lord Fairfax's fighting
cocks held high carnival.
One night, while Mr.. Carter was on
his way to a meeting of the republican
national committee at Louisville, the
train stopped at a small town in Vir.
ginia and typical Virginia planter OF
the old school boarded the sleeper. He
carried a well-loaded meal bag in one
hand and a carpet bag in the
other. He was careful to see
that the meal bag was placed
under his berth, but allowed the por-
ter to place the carpet bag in the end
of the car after he had passed bot.

gentlemen in the smoking-room.
At ten o'clock the passengers were
asleep in their berths, but the first

over the hills when all were awakened
by loud ''cockalorum" in the car.
The passengers showed their heads out
between the curtains, the porter was
aroused from his nap in the smoking
room, and the train conductor, with
eyes half shut, made his appearance in
the passageway.
"What's going on in here anyway" :"
asked the conductor.
II reckon that's the hallylula's of my
black and red Spanish, sah," replied
the Virginia gentleman from between
the curtains.

"Well, get him out of here mighty

BY this time all the passengers in
the car were yelling to the CONDUCTOR
'"That's right. You're right. Put .em
out. We can't Sleep"
Then the Virginia gentleman got out
of his berth and said:
'Gentlemen, appeal to you as gen.
tlemen to let that black and red Span

plantation on that last main at Maiah
Gordon's place, an this black an red
Spanish must win back foh me to-mor-
row tonight. Iappeal to you as gen.
tlemen, let this cock stay with me till
he gets his spurs on in the pit at the
majah's place."
The conductor turned out to be fair
minded man, and at the solici.s ton of
u few fair-minded passengers he left
the black and red Spanish to finish his
morning salutation.-Chicago Times.

"HANDs OFF,"
Tho Remark OF Little Girl Who Was
Viewing the Old Statues.

Viewing the Old Statues.
A very charming and witty widow
residing in Washington gave her little
daughter q NEUROLOGICAL primer sew
eral years ago, and the child imlnedi-
ately became'intensely interested in the
romantic stories of the gods and god
desses. Long after she had exhausted
the primer she was ceaseless in her de-
mands to have her appetite for Incl
dents, which happened in the Elysium
fields and thereabouts. satisfied. One
day her mother thought it would be a
good idea to take her hearts delight
over to the Corcoran gallery and show
her the statuary and casts and other
logy for their subjects.
While pursuing this pleasant pur-
pose the pair came upon the Torso re-
clining legless and armless upon its
massive pedestal. The mother was
stumped to explain to her daughter
what the SCARED and broken mass of
plaster signified other than being the
dismembered remains of grand hui
man figure. The little one, however,
quickly helped her parent out of her
predicament. There was large pla-
card on the base of the pedestal bear
ing the forbidden words Glands Off .
The little miss looked at what she
deemed was the title of the work will,
an expression of scorn, and the same
sentiment was indicated in her inflec
tion when she spoke. ''Hands off. ~ she

PROPER ARTIFICIAL HEAT.

Some Of the Things to he Considered In
Warming n Room or House..
In providing ourselves with artificial
warmth it is not sufficient to regulate
the amount according to our personal
feelings. Other things must he con-
sidered. For example, persons in. a.
crowded hall will variously criticise
the heating of the room. To some it
will he ''suffocating;" others will make
objections if there is anywh ere an
opening through which fresh air may
be admitted to the room. These
idiosyncrasies must Ike attributed part
ly, if not wholly. to the effect of ''crowd
poison" upon different systems. To
persons in a weakened condition an
impure atmosphere may be just as
agreeable as one which is over
heated; and as they experi-
ence no symptoms of nervousness or
uneasiness, they can not appreciate the
necessity for a new supply of air. On
the other hand, persons of robust ma.
lures, not able to Withstand the lack Of
the customary supply of oxygen, fume.
perspire and exclaim about the ''terri-
bic heat of the place." Heat, pure and
simple, and within bounds, should
never be obnoxious to anyone. The
harvester, laboring under the hot sun,
perspires freely. and may safely be said
to feel the heat somewhat. Yet he does
not appear to lose strength under it's
influence. Some would say that it might
be good for many weakened persons if
their systems could enjoy the similar
advantages of quicker circulation
without prOStratiOn.
In providing artificial heat we should
remember two important things-that
it should be as pure as we can
make it, and that it should
never be obtained at the expense
of the atmosphere that imme-
diately surrounds us. With these
facts in mind, we shall be led to give
our sanction preferably to the old
fashioned fireplace, which creates a
continual current up the chimney,
compelling change of old air for new;
and secondly, to the modern improved
furnace. which passes into the room
fresh air from the outside of the build
ing-air which is changed from cold to
hot while passing through the heater.
Especially to be deplored is the heat

pliances. as in this operation not only
