THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
They Endorse Bryan and Arrange
Fusion With the Populists.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 10.-The Dem
ocratic State convention re-convened
for the purpose of filling vacancies on
the State ticket caused by various resig-
nations since the Chicago convention,
met to-day and transacted its business.
The silver men were in complete con-
troll and they passed resolutions en-
dorsing Bryan and Sewall and the
Chicago platform.
The Populist overtures for fusion
were accepted and the two parties will
work together in close Congressional,
Senatorial and representative districts.
Three of the four electors-at-large
had resigned and their places were
filed by Thomas Sterrit and Louis M.
Ireland, Populists, and Thomas G..
Delahanty, of Philadelphia, Democrat.
The convention was undoubtedly
hearty in it's support of Bryan and
the Chicago platform, much genuine
enthusiasm being manifested, but
there was also much confusion and
wrangling and some show of bad
blood. The lack of opposition to the
Populist fusion was surprising to the
old leaders in attendance.
A protest against what they describ-
ed as revolutionary proceedings" was
filed by twenty gold delegates, and
most of them refrained from partici-
patton in the proceedings.

Many people give but little heed to
the first attacks made by rheuma-
tism. Unless the pain is very severe
they argue that it win be time
enough to look for cure when the
trouble grows worse. Thus fear
full mistake is made. A small
quantity of water will put out a
house on fire while the blaze is
small. But after it is nearly con-
sumed it is too late, even with an

In the year 1S41, an Oxford graduate

far East a small fold of extremely thin
paper, which was manifestly more
Opaque and tough for its substance
than any paper then manufactured In
Europe. He presented 1t to the Clar-

of Arthur q. Miles, who showed 1t to
Mr.. Frowe, and experiments were at
once set on foot ut the Oxford Univer-

The first attempts were failures, but
success was achieved, and Aug. "A,

Bible, similar In all respects to the
twenty-four copies printed in 1S42, was
placed on sale.
This was the first oxford Bible pub

ing, the demand was enormous, and be-
fore very long a quarter Of million
copies had been sold. The paper, when
subjected to severe rubbing, instead of
breaking into holes, assumed texture
resembling channels leather, and a strip
only three inches wide was found able
to support quarter Of hundred

be said, Is known to only three living
