 Resolved, That we call upon all labor organ izations to eliminate as far as possible from their ranks such mountebanks, who use their organizations to further their own selfish ends
 Whereas, American citizens having been and are being prescribed persecuted and prose. cuted for their connection with the late battles for their right to exist in the late A. R. U strike: be it therefore
 Resolved, That we, the State Federation O, Labor, in convention assembled condemn ir unmeasured and the most severe terms the nc. tion Of the greedy and un-American railroad corporations in discharging men and blacklist. ing them because they had the manhood tt fight for their rights as American citizens; bt 1t therefore
 Resolved, That we tender the heartfelt symp. athy of the organized labor of this state to all members of organized labor so blacklsted anC prosecuted: be 1t further
 Resolved, That we view with satisfaction the decision of Judge Harlan, of the supreme court of the United States, reversing the decision oi the notorious Judge Jenkins, who decided that men have not the right to strike when injured
 The committee on organization and labels submitted this resolution which was adopted, that the utmost care be taken in selecting organizers.

A Question of Economy.

Irrespective of the fact that one wishes to look well, there is economy in having one, or, if possible, two house gowns. More wear is given to frock by sitting than by walking in it, and more bodices lose their shape when their wearer lolls in an easy chair than from her walking five miles in them. Then, too, the house gown is positive rest. One casts off with the street frOck all the worries of the outside world, and starts in to enjoy the pleas ures of home. That the influe nee of the gown is felt cannot be denied; con sequently the wise woman will under stand why she elects to have a dainty, well fitting house gown in preference to loose, ill shaped wrapper, for cer- tainly each has an effect, not only upon the appearance, but upon the mind and morals of the wearer, and, while the wrapper has it's special use, it is cer- tainly not to appear in the drawing room, or, in fact, outs idle of ones own apartment. That the wrapper habit naturally combines with curl papers and other untidy ways cannot be de- nied, and certainly it is one which we should all make every effort to avoid.- Ladies' Home Journal.

Ex-GOv. CURTIN DEAD.

Pennsylvania's War Governor Passes Away
 in His Eightieth Year.
 BELLEFoNTE, Pa., Oct. S.-Ex-Gov. Andrew G. Curtin died at o'clock yesterday morning. His end was peaceful, he having been unconscious during the last twelve hours of his life. All the members of his family were at the bedside when he passed away. MT. Curtin had been in feeble health for some weeks, but his condi- tion grew serious on Thursday last, and from that time he sank rapidly. Death was caused by old age. The ex- governor was in his s0th year. When the case first took on serious aspect physicians were summoned, but they soon abandoned all hopes of recovery, and the death of the old war governor was not surprise.
 Mir Curtin was one of the great 'war governors" and the last survivor of that body of state executives who did so much to carry on the war against seces- sion to a successful termination. In recent years he had been living in re- tired life in Bellefonte, where he was a conspicuous figure, and where his home was pointed out as one of the most in- teresting features of that locality.

 CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Prof David Swing died at ten minutes after o'clock last night of acute blood poisoning, brought on by an attack of jaundice. Yester- day morning Prof. Swings tempera- ture was very high. He gave no signs of consciousness. The physicians att tending him would not say anything, but from their actions and careful at. tendance upon him it was plain that they regarded his condition as being critical, and that there was only the merest shadow of hope for his life. Late in the afternoon the physicians an nounced that blood poisoning had set in, and that the patients death would only be matter of few hours. Every possible restorative was applied in vain, and at ten minutes after Prof. Swing was dead.
