The effort of any newspaper to
build up town is practically nullifed
unless it is backed up by business
men. A stranger turns from the news
columns Of a paper to its advertising
pages, and if he fails to find the busi-
ness card of the merchants and pro-
fessional arms, he comes to the con-
clusion that the publisher is not ap-
preciated, in which case it is-a good
place for him to keep clear of. No
town ever grew without the active as
sistance of its newspaper. Nor can
papers grow and build up their local.
ties without the assistance of the
town. Business men should realize
this and remember in giving support
to the newspaper that they are not
only building up their own business,
but helping to support that which is
steadily working for the growth of the
whole town.-FraRkAm TranScribk

Danger in Rope Jumping.

Timid mothers who fully realize
the dangers of the foot ball field for
their sons rarely appreciate the perils
of the apparently harmless jumping
rope for their daughters And yet
the latter has its victims every year,
and though they are not so numerous
as those of foot ball it would probably
be found, if complete statistics were
available, that the mean total reaches
a figure sufficiently startling. One of
the first deaths of the season from this
cause occurred in Brooklyn, N. Y,
last week, where a little girl of 9 years
died from the effects of too prolonged
indulgence in rope skipping. Jump
ing rope may or may not be good
exercise for girls when taken in mod
Grafton, but it is very easy to overdo
it, and when rapid and protracted it
is severe strain on children whose
hearts are weak or who may be other
wise delicate.

c. P. Jadwin, of Scranton, has in
connection with his son been engaged
in arranging the details of a "horseless
carriage" which promises to be pro
nounced success. The carriage is
practically completed and the test will
be made within a weeks time. The
motive power will be gasoline, which
will be generated from oil. One in
teresting feature will be the cheapness
with which the motive power will be
obtained. 1t is estimated that twenty
five cents worth of oil will supply the
power for twenty successive hours,
thus placing the cost at one cent per
hour.

What appears to have been fend-
ish attempt to poison the entire popu-
lace of Rockville was made there last
week, Some scoundrel put a great
quantity of Paris green in the village
well, from which nearly all the citizens
drink. The town is five miles west
of Harrisburg, and the wholesale
endeavor to assassinate the people
has caused much alarm and excite
ment there.
The discovery was made by Jacob
Tibbins, the village blacksmith's son.
The pump stands by the roadside
under a great tree in front of the
village inn. This morning Tibbins
when going to work felt thirsty and
pumped up cupful of water and
drank it. 1t did not taste as usual,
and while he was cogitating over the
matter he grew deathly sick. A doc q.
tor was sent for and with his stomach
pump he saved the young mans life.
An Investigation was made and traces
of Paris green were found in the cup.
Then it was discovered that large
quantity of the poison had been thrown
into the we'll. The residents of Rock
vile are greatly excited and are on
the hunt for the villain. The pump
was great stopping place for Harris
burg people who drove up the river
road. There is no clue to the identity
of the poisoner.

NAVAL REPORT BOARD.
Movement to Expedite Business of Naval
Construction,

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Be-
cause the naval appropriation bill
now pending before the house, ask
ing provision for the building of
four battleships, allows only 80
days for the preparation and is
suance of advertisements for pro-
posals, Secretary Herbert has
taken steps already to determine
the features of the new ships. To
this end he has appointed report
board to deal with the question of
the best character of main battery
for each ship, undoubtedly the
most important feature Of battle
ship. The board will consist of
Rear Admiral John G. Walker,
Commodore Lipithian, Captain
Cooper, Chief Engineer Edward
Farmer and Constructor j. j.
Woodward, with Lieutenant s. A.
Stanton as recorder. This board
will meet at the navy department
on the 31st instant, and proceed at
once to consider the installation of
the main batteries, not only for
the new ships to be authorized by
congress, but on the Kearsarge
and Kentucky as well. The board
will be put in possession of all the
information contained in the Of
fetal reports Of the main batteries
of ships now in service, and If nee
essary will board the Indiana and
make practical tests of her battery.
The naval board of construction
has decided to recommend to the
secretary Of the navy the allow
ance to the Cramps Of extensions
Of time Of Is months, In the case of
the battleship Iowa, and II
months, in the case Of the protect
ed cruiser Brooklyn. The request
for extensions Of the time allow
ance by contract for the compile
ton of the ships was based on al
legations that delays beyond the
control of the builders have fol-
lowed changes in the plans for the
supports ordered by the navy de-
partment.
The board has perfected the
plans for the renovation Of the
cruiser Chicago, for which pro-
vision is made in the naval appro-
priation bill.
The present battery of six-inch
guns will give place to II five-inch
rapid fire guns, and the engines
and boilers will be removed, and
in their place will be fitted new
machinery, which will raise the
speed of the ship from II to 10
knots an hour, and the horse pow
er from 5000 to 5000, while adding
300 tons of coal carrying capacity.

government has received advices,
which show that Audley Coote,
chief promoter of the Franco

has met with a severe rebuff in his
negotiations in Hawaii in connec-
ton with the proposed American
Japanese cable. His application
for exclusive cable landing on the
Hawaiian Islands was refused.
Mr.. Coote then assured the
Hawaiian government that suffi-
cient capital had been secured in
Japan to build the line at once
and he asked 10 be delegated to
Hawaii at the case OF the contract
with the Japanese principles on
the basis of draft contract which
he submitted. This proposition
was also declined, as beyond the
power Of the government to accept.

GRAND COUP.

son FOrces-Lively Afternoon Ses-
sion Promised

AUSTIN, Tex. March 26.-Spe-
cial.-When ten o'clock came this
morning it found the situation at
the republican convention in a
very complicated condition.
Last night at midnight the Nc
Kinleyites began working on the
negroes and that their work was
effectual was evidenced by the
fact that by ten o'clock the McKin-
ley faction had all the center Of the
hall packed with their men, with
enough white leaders sandwiched
between them to see that they de-
livered the goods.
Chairman Quincy came ON the
rostrum nearly an hour late and
quickly took in the situation, and
hesltated about calling the con-
vention together, and Immediately
sent out his emissaries for re-
cruits.
At eleven o'clock he announced
that the credentials committee
would not be ready until twelve
o'clock at the earliest hour and
suggested an adjournment until
that hour.
The McKinleyites kicked, but the
motion prevailed. 1t is given out
that a big row is on in the creden-
tials committee over an effort on
the part Of the McKinleyites to get
out minority report, with a view
of getting a packed convention to
adopt it.
At noon every indication is that
the convention will not meet for
several hours, and it is doubtful
if session will be held this after
noon.
At two o'clock convention
adopted report from Credentials
committee practically putting the
Reed-Allison faction in charge Of
the convention.
Also elected Quincy permanent
chairman.
The Mckinley men are raising
pandemonium and it looks as
though they were fixing to bolt.

CHAUNOEY DEPEW SPEAKS.
He Thinks Motion Will Be the Presiden
tial Nominee.

Los ANGELES, Cal, March 90
A special train arrived in this city
last evening bearing Cornelius
Vanderbilt, G. NJ. Depew, John
Hahn, Jr., and John Harrington,
all intimately related to the VAN
derbilt railway interests.
When asked for the views on the
presidential situation Mr.. Depew
said:
at is generally conceded that
on the first ballot at the republi-
can national convention Mckinley
will receive more votes than any
other candidate. This, however,
singles him out as the one man
dangerous to all others, as often
happens in national conventions.
Numerous combinations will
doubtless be made in order to
counterfeit the influence OF his can
didacy upon wavering delegations.
This Is where the real work comes
in to divert attention from one who
is ahead, to others whose chances
at first are secondary.
"If Mr.. Mckinley could secure
the nomination on the first ballot
that would settle the whole trouble,
but / am confident he will not
have the votes necessary to get at
that stage, and that he will be
forced in the end to abandon the
field. Every indication fsvors the
presumption that Mr.. Morton will
profit from this failure on the first
ballot Of Mr.. Mckinley and that
the presidential candidate will
come from New York. At these
critical points it is always the case
that the preferences of the delega-
tions OF the doubtful states are
given special consideration. New
York gave Cleveland a plurality OF
10000 and Morton a plurality OF
5000. This shows the change
able nature OF the voting OF the
Empire state. 1t will be consider
ed at st. Louis and the republicans
OF New York have no fears regard
