A remarkable freak in moon phases
was noted in the month of February,
1866, month which has gone into
astronomical annals as "the month with
out full moon" In that year January
and March each had two full moons, but
February none. A writer in leading
astronomical Journal uses the following
language In describing it, "Do you
realize what rare thing in nature it
was? II has not happened before since
the beginning of the Christian era or
probably since the creation Of the world
1t will not occur again. according to
the computations of the astronomer
royal OF England, for-how long do you
think? Not until after 2, 500, 900 years

bridge a portion of the ice on which he
was standing broke away from the main

GENERAL DANIEL II. HASTINGS, of
Bellefonte, will be the next Republican
candidate for governor of this state,
without opposition in his own party and
the Republican bosses of this county,
seeing the handwriting on the wall, are
smiling the breeze and getting into line
General Hastings was a candidate for
governor in 1890 when his services to
the citizens of the Conemaugh Valley in
1882 and "his public spirited efforts in
developing the coal region of Northern
Cambria" were good deal fresher in
in the minds of the people of Cambria
than they are now. But in 1890 Sena-
tor Quay ordered the nomination of
George W. Delamater for governor of
Pennsy lvania, and Delemater, who was
a stranger to the people of Cambria, got
the votes of this county's delegates at
the Republican convention. They
tossed Hastings overheard without
murmer; his services to the citizens of
the Conemaugh Valley" were forgotten;
"his public spirited efforts in developing
the coal regions of Northern Cambria"
were as if they had never been; all were
discounted for the expectant blessings
that were to flow from that truly gosd
man, Matthew Stanley Quay, for subser-
viently doing his bidding.
Now things are changed; Hastings is
on the ascendant. He can be nominated
withou the aid of Cambria's s Republi
can delegation, but he will feel gratified
when he reads one of the resolutions
passed at Mondays convention. If for
no other reason, it shows that he is on
top. Here is the resolution.
ReSOired, That we cordially endorse
the candidacy of Gen. ID. II. Hastings
for the office of governor, and the del
egates this day elected are hereby in
Structed to so act and work as to secure
his nomination. We feel special in
terest in his candidacy by reason of his
services to the citizens of the Cone
maugh Valley in May, 1899, by reason
Of his public-spirited efforts in develop
ing the coal region of Northern Cambria
and by reason of his devotion to the
principles and traditions of the Republi
can party.
General Hastings may feel thankful
to the Republicans of Cambria for the
votes of her delegates at the next Re
publican state convention but away
down, deep, in the bottom of his bowels,
he cannot help but know that Cambria's
delegates are his because he can get
along without them. The Especial in.
terest in his candidacy" and the fulsome
fiattery bestowed upon him by the reso-
luton are because of a falling market
with no purchasers and in the hope that
thrift may follow fawning"

Violated the Election Laws.

MAUCH CHUNK, Feb. 26.-James w.
Maloy, proprietor of the Lansford
Record, was arrested to-day, charged
with the violation of the election laws.
Maloy had the contract for printing a
portion of the official ballots of Carbon
county for the recent election. The
county commissioners certified to the
Democratic ticket in the West ward of
Landsford, and later another nomina.
ton paper, purporting to be from the
Democratic party, was filed by Maloy.
The latter was not certified to by the
county commissioners. In printing the
ballots Maloy placed the double set of
nominations in the Democratic column.
The penalty for offenses of this nature,
on conviction, is a fine not exceeding
81 900 or Imprisonment not to exceed
five years or both. The prosec utor In
the case is John b. Breslin, a promi-
nent Democrat of Lansford. Maloy
furnished bail for a hearing tomorrow.

On Archbishop Ireland's Plan.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 25.-The board of
directors of the Riverside school, in the
West end, determined last night upon a
new departure in their management of
the public school. Five Sisters of Mercy
Catholics now teaching in the st. James
parochial school, will be transferred to
the public school and the parish school
closed. The Sisters have passed an ex-
animation and received certificates from
the Central Board of Education. The
Sisters will wear their regulation garb,
but will not wear their rosary while in
the schoolroom. The Bible will not be
read in the school, and no sectarianism
will be tolerated The combination of
the two schools was for economy. The
management will conform strictly with
the school law in every particular.
About ten per cent. of the pupils in the
district are Protestants.

IN the Philadelphia Record of Saturday
last the following editorial, which con-
taIns more truth than poetry appeared.
1t used to be said of General Butler, Ca
leb Cushing and other Democratic lead
ers in Massachusetts in ante-war times
that they kept her Democratic vote cons
veniently small in order the more easily
to manipulate the party organization for
the purpose of securing the delegates to
national conventions. When the other
states of the Union had elected a Demo
ly claimed a share of the spoils as "A re-
ward for their share in the nomination.
They resembled certain birds that, as
naturalists tell us, follow the track of the
lion to pick up his droppings.
Whether this be true or not in regard
to the old Democratic leaders in Massa-
chusetts, it is certain that the story apt
ly illu strates the condition into which
the Democratic party in Pennsylvania
has fallen in these latter days. An alert,
vigorous and aggressive party organiza-
ton that but few years ago contested
every inch of ground with its political
rival has become inert, fiaccid, imbScile
and utterly respondent. In this hapless
condition the Democratic party in the
state serves no political purpose save to
grind out delegations to party conven-
tions for promoting the personal ambi-
tions and private interests of the mana
gers of the machine. The Pennsylvania
Democracy, once so powerful in the pub
lie councils, has become a mere pawn on
the chessboard of national politics.
1t would be unjust to attribute the en-
Pennsylvania to vicious and mischiev-
Gus management of the Democratic Or
ganization. Within recent years the
Republicans have made large gains of
voters in the mining and manufactur-
ing regions of the state from importa-
tiOns of foreigners. But the managers
Ol Jlle TlCheIy DtIlOCTdllC machine nave
been too intently watching their own in
terests to make the least effort to coun-
teract this movement. SO long as they
could manipulate party conventions in
the state and the city, what ,did it mat
ter to them whether the Republican
majority in Pennsylvania should be
%, 900 or $50, 900 votes In the AFRO
gance inspired by sudden acquisition
of power, they have resented honest
criticism of party management as per
sonal injury; and they have undertaken
to taboo every Democrat in the state
whom they could not bend to their pur-
poses. Witnessing the use made of the
organization, thousands of independent
Democratic citizens have refrained from
exercising the suffrage.
In the condition to which the Demo-
cratic party in Pennsylvania has been
reduced the only alternative is to mend
the management or end it.

AT the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers association,
held in New York, last week, resolu
tion was adopted requesting the govern
m ent to return to the old system of
fractional paper CURRENCY. The publish
ers believe that stamps in denominations
of cents, 10 cents, % and 80 cents are
much needed in business transactions,
particularly those carried on by mail
Silver coins, they contend, cannot be
safely intrusted to the mails, while pa
per money of the same denominations
can readily be placed in envelopes

a DISPATCH from Carlysle, Pa, on
Wednesday says: Charles Salyards, who
was sentenced to be hanged tomorrow
(Thursday) for the murder of Policeman
Martin, attempted suicide this morning.
He was taken violently i'll, and when the
Jail physician was called he found that
the condemned man had taken a mix
ture of match heads and vinegar There
is little hope of saving his life. He can
not arise from his cot, and it requires
considerable effort to arouse him suffi
ciently for him to talk intelligently
The indications are that it will be neces>
sary to carry him to the gallows to-mor
row. He broke down completely and
for the first time was glad to see minis
ter. He says he is ready to forgive all
and has told the sheriff that he has no
fault to find with him for the part he
must take in the execution.

PARIS, Feb. 26.-The Paris edition of
the New York Herald says that person
calling himself Prince Toozcoswaren has
succeeded in swindling French and Ger

the extent of nearly $500, 900, and has
fled, it is believed, to America. He is

RumOrs OF a Fight.

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 27.-Rumors of
a battle between Russian and German
troops on the frontier have been current
In military circles in Moscow for several
days. One version of the reported fight
Is as follows: A division of Russian
Dragons saw party of Prussians
Uhlans making target of frontier
post on which the Russian arms were
displayed. The Russian commander re-
quested the Prussians to cease firing at
the post. The Prussians ignored the re-
quest. A skirmish followed in which
several men on both sides were killed
The Russians pursued the Prussians for
some distance after the fight.

NOrkmen Ont ON strike.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Two hundred and
fifty uuion workmen employed IN the
stock exchange building, now being
erected, struck this morning in sympa-
thy with the carpenters, who have been
on strike on that building for the past
ten days against a reduction of wages.
lhe contractors agreed to copcede all
the demands of the carpenters union
this afternoon, but another difficulty
confronts them which will further delay
the settlement of the strike. The trade
and labor assembly. representing the
piasterers, electrical men and other union
workers, who struck this morning in
sympathy with the carpenters, has now
made additional demands, and until
these are conceded the strike is as TAR
from settlement as ever

y SPECIAL from the city of Mexico,
under date of Tuesday, says that con
gresham Wilson's condition has not
undergone any material change. The
very best medical skill in Mexico has
been called in to the case, and the dis
tinguished American will have the best
care and attention. That Mr. Wilson
may not be disturbed the governor of
the state of Jalisco has issued a decree
forbidding bands of music on the streets
of Guadalajara, and locomotives are not
permitted to whistle in the town limits.

Working Hard at the Gay lord Mine

WILKEsBARRE, Feb. 23.-The search
ers continue to work hard at the GAYLORD
mine, but they are meeting with little
headway. They have reached what is
known as Cannahan's gangway, but to
reach where the unfortunate men are
supposed to be buried they will have to
go over 200 feet of the plane, and to
timber this as they go is dangerous
task. a number of men, headed bv
Ike Carroll, went down into the No <
shaft and from this place they entered
into the Gaylord on the No 2. plane
They report the mine to be in a very bad
condition, and it is their belief that the
men will not be found in weeks.
