Our readers may not be aware of
the fact that at the last SESSION of the
legislature an amendment was pas
sed to the marriage license law which
was signed by the governor on June
18th. The amendment makes a
marriage license now good in any
county in the state, instead of sim
ply in the county of issue. The
party performing the ceremony
must make the return 20 the officer
who issued the license. 1t would be
well for clergymen and others au.
thorized by the law to perform mar
riages, to make note OF the above
fact, as there is heavy fine for a
failure to properly report within
thirty days all marriages performed.
The act went into effect at'once. In
all other respects the law remains
as it was.

There is vicious warfare being
waged in Pennsylvania against Hon
Matthew Stanley Quay and the citi
zens OF Snyder County are invited
to consider the following facts in
casting their votes at our Primary
Nomination on August third when
Senator Quay and Mr.. Gilkeson will
run as candidates for Chairman OF
the State Central Committee.
l. Senator NJ. S. Quay has for
eight years represented his state in
the Senate of the United States at
Washington, ID. c., and within that
time he has not performed a single
act, not recorded single vote,
which can be criticised as havins
been against the interests Of the
citizens Of his native State.
2. AS United States Senator he
has by his great personal influence
and political prominence secured the
passage of more laws, which direct.
ly benefit our State and our Coun-
try, than has any Senator ever sent
to Washington, from Pennsylvania.
3. As Senator, Mr.. Quay has al
ways been found at his post of duty
and has exercised IA most patient,
watchful and faithful care OF the
the public, political and industrial
interests of Pennsylvania and had it
not been for his wide influence. his
emlnence as a statesman and as n
Senator, this country never would
have had the Mckinley law passed
through the Senate, m act which
meant the saving of millions of dol.
lars to the people of PENNSYLVANIA
and of the United States.
A. In 1888, one year after his cleo
ton to the United States Senate,
when other men who had been
prominent in the political affairs of
our Nation stood back and refused
to lead the fight. Mr.. Quay went to
New York, accepted the Chairman
ship of the Republican National
Committee and won the election for
President Benjamin Harrison. The
people of Pennsylvania ought to be
proud of such II map and Senator
Quay to-day is recognized through.
out the entire United States as the
leading Republican Chieftian who
will be called to the front next year
to manage the campaign for the
election of a Republican Presid ent.
D. Senator Quay is a candidate for
Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, and his success means the
success of the Republican Party in
1896 and the election of Republi-
can President. His defeat would be
a loss to our State and Nation
which we could not repair and would
be the greatest encouragement to
the Democrats of the land.
6. What is this fight against SEN
ator Quay? 1t is selfish battle
made against him by BOSS" Magee
of Pittsburgh the campaign Lobby
ist at Harrisburg and by Bosses
Martin and Porter of Philadelphia.
These City Combines are formed OF
the very worst and most corrupt
politicians ever known and they
want to defeat Senator Quay, who
has always stood by the country dis
tricts, and they, themselves want tt

The bloom or not to bloom, that is
the question.
Whether it is noblcr in the mind to
suffer
The sings and foldings of outrageous
skirts.
Or take up arms, and legs, against our
troubles.
And by opposing end them! To scorch,
to race,
No more; and, by a race, to say we
The heartachc and the thousand natural
shocks
That modesty is heir to; It's consum-
Devoutly to be wished. To scorch, to
race;
To race! perchance to fall aye, there's
the rub:
For in that blooming fall, what rents
may come
To mar my outer garments: there's the
respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns
of style,
The oppressor's wrong, the loud girls
contumely,
The tangle of despised skirts, the lingerie
display,
The indifference of dudes, and then the
spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy
takes,
When she herself might compromise
make
With pair of leggings. Who would
petticoats wear,
To grunt and sweet under weary life,
But that the dread of some untold mis-
hap,
The unfelled seam, the unsubstantial
cloth,
Which tailors use, puzzles the will
And makes us rather wear these clothes
We have
Than try on Others that we know not of
Thus modesty makes towards of us all,
And thus the native hue OF resolution
Is sicklied o's with the pale cast of
thought;
And enterprises of great pith and mo-
ment,
With the regard their currents turn
And lose the name of action.

Gigantic Railway Scheme.

There are some enterprising Chi

way enterprise, which, if carried out,
will revolutionize passenger travel
between the eastern and western
coast. Regarding bill introduced
in the house of representatives at
Washington yesterday, to incorpor-
ate the National Central Railway
company, G. c. Reynolds, one of the
originators of the project, was seen
at his home. He said regarding the
proposed road:

Looking Toward Peace.

The only change in the diplomatic
situation in Japan since last advice
is the announcement that Chaug
Wing Hwan, China's accredited agent
is actually on his way to japan. He
has been minister to the United
States, Spain and Peru and may be
supposed to fairly understand the
responsibilities of his new position
Shao Yu Lien is now at Shanghai,
awaiting his chief, who is reported
to have started from Pekin week
ago. If it is found these envoys are
authorized to negotiate seriously,
some progress may be made toward
defining the terms of peace.
The capture of Wei Hal Wei
now regarded as foregone conclu.
sion, may, however, again alter the
respect of affairs. The Chinese dig
nitaries move slowly in their own
country, and it is anticipated that
Japan will have occupied the naval
station near Che Foo before the
suitors for peace are ready to leave
their own country.

Hills Opinion as to What Congress

ancial Measures,


Senator Hill spoke at dinner Civ
en- by the Delmonico club, New
York. He said no factional differ
ences should retard immediate legis-
lation for maintenance of the credit
and honor of the government. To
arbitrarily refuse such action now,
because some silver Legislation does
not accompany it is the height of po-
litical folly, equalled only by the op-
position to the repeal of the Sherman
law or the foisting of the income tax
upon the country. 1t is difficult to
discover why the friends of bimetal.
lie coinage should object to elimina-
ting the greenback paper currency
which it is now so generally conced-
ed should be cancelled. Yet most oi
the advocates of silver in congress
with characteristic unwisdom, seek
to regard it as their duty to antago.
nize every suggestion in aid of mon.
etary reform unless coupled with the
full and instant relief which they
seek.

Looking Forward to 1896.

The Commercial Gazette prints
two pages of preference for the next
republican nomination for president
from representative republicans all
over the country. In the summary
it says: "Ohio is for Mckinley and
Indiana for Ex- President Harrison.
The republicans of New York are
holding off, in the end to dictate the
nominee, or drive the best bargain
they can with the man they see is
bound to win. West Virginia is for
the best man, whoever he may be.

of the republicans of Kentucky. AT
the national capital the preponder-

Diaz denied the assertion and stated
that Mexico would have her rights,

SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY.
Woman in Jail Masquerading in

y sensation was created in the
county Jail at San Jose, Cal, Monday
evening, when the discovery was
made that a prisoner booked as Mil
ton w. Matson is woman. She
was arrested at Los Gatos on a
charge of passing bogus checks. For
nearly two years she conducted a
hotel at Ben 1.omond and owed
many debts there. The discovery
was made through the remittance Of
one Englewood to Louisa Matson
through the bank of British North

The woman says she has masquerad-
ed as man for sixteen years but has

DEEDS OF DEVILS,
Armenians Being Prosecuted With
Great Vigor,

AoesS A8OTs
A dispatch to the Telegraph from
Constantinople says the work of per-
scouting Armenians in Armenia and
Asia Minor is proceeding as vigor-
ously as before, adding that the
Turkish newspapers are evidently un-
der orders to keep down excitement
and that it is extremely difficult to
get information from the interor. If
the present crisis is prolonged it is
probable there will be trouble in
Macedonia in the spring, and if it is
serious, Bulgaria, Greece and Servia
will inevitably be involved and the
eastern question will be raised in it's
most acute form.

Emma Stradlych, domestic in
the family of John Murta, of Spruce
street, Helena, jumped out of her
bedroom window at 1 o'clock in the
morning. Mr.. Murta was aroused
by the crash of glass and proceeded
to investigate. He found the un-
fortunate girl crawling around in the
snow outside of the yard, muttering
fearful cries A conveyance was
summoned and she was taken to St.
Peters hospital, where it was found
she had sustained fractures of one
ankle and the left wrist. She had
dressed herself early this morning
and then deliberately jumped out of
the window, crashing through the
inside and storm sashes. She must
have fallen at least thirty-fve feet.
She told the doctor that there
were rats after her and she had to
jump out of the window to get away
from them. She has been in bad
health lately, and it is thought that
her illness had affected her mind.
She will recover.
