AS was to have been expected The Tele-
gram yesterday had fit Of Mysteries over
the Outrage" at the State House yester-
day. The outrage consisted In trying
TO get the State House into q condition
of cleanliness in order that the Legis-
la.ure which will meet next Tuesday,
may find every thing in readiness for 1t.
The constitution of the State provides
that the General Assembly shall meet at
the State House Oh the last Tuesday In
January. Unless convened in extraor-
dinary session by the Governor 1t can
not legally meet there before
that date. 1t is customary to clean the
State House the week before the Legisla-
ture meet, and this custom has been
followed with never failing regularity
for years. In obedience to that custom
work was begun Monday morning and
will be completed in time for the open
ing of the lawful session of the Legisla-
ture.
The Rump House that met yesterday
has no legal existence. BY its own act
it has lost whatever legal status it ever
possessed. 1t had no right there yester-
day and it had to put up with the con-
ditions that existed. Naturally, The
Telegram, which daily gives evidence
of its objections TO cleanliness, objects
to the annual house cleaning operation,
but it may rest contented in the know
ledge that the work will be completed
in ample time to permit the meeting Of
the lawful assembly.

before IL Is actually here. A
tax ON sugar would have been by far
the better way of taking the bull by the
horns, but the income tax men cooked
up little scheme aud succeeded In hav-
ing all sugar put on the free list, thus
getting it out of the way OF their own
little pet measure.
They succeeded and the road is now
clear for the infamous income tax. BY
this shrewd manipulation Congress is to
be forced into adopting the income tax,
unpalatable and un-American as 1t is.
The infamous war tax must be i'm
posed on the people is the ultimatum of
the Democratic Ways and Means Com
mittee.

MILLENNIUM AT HAND.

1t is not the optimist alone who sees
the tide of public opinion inevitably
setting in against pugilism. Even the
devotee of the ring has recognized the
fact. He is obliged now TO hold his en-
tertainments in ambush, one eye on
his opponent and the other on the police.
Brutality is gradually being educated
out of the masses. The defenders OF the
so-called manly art are merely sporadic
and their enthusiasm is mostly born Of
an itching for the revenue that accrues
from the fight. This is at least the more
charitable view TO take of the matter.
There are few today who love pugilism
for pugilism's sake.
The change in public sentiment has
been marvellously rapid. IL is but few
years ago that both branches of Parlia-
ment actually adjourned TO witness a
fistic encounter between an English
and an American champion. Such
n procedure today would be
visited with the reprobaiion it deserves
Law making bodies are. now legisla,ing
against the practice instead of braking
the wheel Of state while the members go
out aud bet on the result Of the fray.
II Governor Mitchell carries the day
the profession" might as well accept
the inevitable. PugIlism, in America
at least, will be dead.

The NKws regrets that II was unable
70 supply the demand for copies last
evening. The press was started up
again after $50 o'clock and several
hundred extra were run off, but by 2
o'clock these were gone and the result
was number of newsboys, newsdealers
and customers were disappointed. Five
hundred extra were printed this morn
ing for the benefit OF those who want
copies aside from their news interest
%, for instance, the many who are keep
ing file Of the Moody page.
The publishers submit that they were
not tooroughly awakened to the aston
ishing strides making in the circulation
of THE NEWS which seems to increase
in seomstrical progression. The pub
fishers feel that they are turning out a
pretty good newspaper for ONE
CENT and that the people are
responding accordingly, but when
tho extra demand for one evening
exceeds the extra demand of the even
Ing before by from so to 100
per cent. that Is something that
no amount Of confidence in their news
papsr producing powers could anticipate
without more self assurance than they
are accustomed to indulge in.
In the future, however, drawn from
axperience. The NEWS Companv will
segard - . fact a prospective increase
In the demand for The News something
beyond what their most sanguine ex-
pectations have hitherto led them to
look for. They don't want to print any
moro papers than the people want to
buy, but they viii see to It from this on
that the people are not disappointed in
securing copies.

An exhibition OF exceeding beauty and
Interest to the host of admirers OF this
daintiest and ioveliest of wooden fabrics.
In the threatening times Of last fall it re-
quired courage to place import orders
for summer nearly year ahead, but we
had faith that few choice things selected
withspeciai viewto the demand OF our trade
would find eager buyers and encouraged us
to place the order. Now the goods are
here. The quantity is less than usual, but
the selections are more even than usual
confined to the fetching and most excu-
sive things, and those who would have
the prettiest aud most exclusive of these,
when the time comes TO wear them, must
avail themselves OF this early opportunity
to make their choice.
Nothing but an inspection OF this beau
tiful display can give an idea of the many
beauties of design comprehsnded from
the most quiet production to the brilliant
novelty effected by the girl OF the period,
such as Satin Bands, Silk Stripes, Silk
Warp, Swivel Dots and plain Batiste
effects, each contributing to the attract
iveness of the showing. ,s

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
The Infamous Income Tax.

N Y. Press.
The solitary argument OF weight that Is
used In behalf OF the tax is that England
imposes 1t. But this Is q price paid
by Englishmen for the supposed advan-
tages OF free trade. A tax upon widows
or federal tax for maintaining poor
houses could be justified upon similar
grounds. Englishmen are creditors OF the
whole world. They have more than
so, 600, ,0O, 900 invested in various parts Of
the globe. Their government cannot
reach this property to tax it in any other
manner than by taxing the income.
Thus England has justification
for such action which we cannot have.
In fact, no justification can be discovered
for the proposed scheme of Prof. Wilson.
1t is wholly scandalous and indefensible,
and 1t will do much to strengthen the
purpose of the American people to defeat
the Democratic party at the polls in No
vember next.

MOUSE AMONG GIRL TEACHERS
Several lads with wicked intentions in
their heart aud a mouse tied by long
string nearly disrupted the county
teachers institute at West Chester, Pa.
The boys concealed themselves in room
in the Assembly building with doors
opening upon the hallway, where the
hundreds of school teachers, nearly all
of whom are girls, passed on their way
to and from the sessions. After mousey
was securely tied one boy peered eau
tiously out the door, jerked back his
head and exclaimed
"Here come two daisies. Now see
'em jump"
When the rosy-faced school marms
got opposite the door the mouse WI
headed toward them and let out. In
stantly there arose two little screams
and skirts were clasped tightly about
their knees. Ankles twinkled in the
air as the two instructors of youth sped
up stairway.
Then the boys pulled back the mouse
and moment later an elderly maiden
approached. A suppressed snlcker told
that the lads expected some real fun.
Out went the mouse. "Oh, horrors" f"
cried the school teacher, as she rushed
back toward the door. Then she saw
the string and passed. One time the
mouse got all mixed up among a bevy
of pretty teachers. Any on-looker
could at that moment easily have
learned what is the fashionable color
for Chester county hosiery. The girls
scattered, but all were afraid to pass.
Bolder ones came along the hallway
resolved to beard the mouse in his lair.
1t looked for while as if the audience
in the institute would be small. Sew
eral men teachers happened along,
killed the mouse and ordered the boys
out of the building. An attempt was
made at the institute Friday to have
the next session held at Coatesville.
