The New York FiNaNeiey in a New
Year retrospect, claims to be not only
leading bank journal but the first of its
kind in completeness in the world.
That is good big" claim but we
"guess" it will hold good. The FIHanerey
is a correct reflex of the Wall street bank
ers' mind on finance. The true inward
ness of the great banker on business and
financial theory can be learned in the
pages of his New York exponent. This
can never be understood by reading only
the financial columns of the daily press.
Every reformer who is battling for the
new financial system should be reader
of the pages of The FiHaneieY, and know
what the enemy is about, and his views of
the future financial system being battled
for by the banker. There is no lodging
or chicane on the question in The FiHaR-
cier. We believe the system which they
call "honest money" will not stand the
test, and to be prepared to fight it it is all
important to understand it, and The Fl
nancier is the best text book.

FLORIDA.
Personally Conducted Tours via
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad.


1t would be hard to find any
condition of human ailment that a
Winter visit to Florida would fail
to improve, while those who enjoy
good health cannot realize, without
experience, what true enjoyment
there is in life passed under the
golden skies of the Gland of
Flowers"
In order to give the public an
opportunity to visit Florida at a
very reasonable cost, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has ar
ranged for a series of tours to Jack
sonville. Since the system of per-
sonally conducted tours inaugurated
by that company has been in effect,
none but words of commentator
have been received. Its unexcelled
train service, experienced Tourist
Agents and Chaperons, and above
all, it's moderate charges, leave
nothing to be desired.
The tours to JackSOnVllle, allow
ing two weeks stay in Florida, will
leave New York and Philadelphia
on January %, February 4, IL, Is,
and 25, and March 3, 1896. The
rate, including transportation,
meals en- route, and Pullman berth
on special train, is $4,000 from
New York, and $500 from Phila-
delphia; proportionate rates from
other points.
For further information apply to
Ticket Agents, or address Tourist
Agent, 1896 Broadway, New York,

for space should also be made.

TO THE GOLDEN GATE.
Personally Conducted Tours via
Pennsylvania Railroad.

Undoubtedly California offers
more genuine attractions to the
pleasure travelling public than any
other part of the American con-
tinent. The fame of its climate is
world wide, and it is sought even
by Europeans, who find it more
charming than their own southern
slopes. To Americans its worth is
too well known to necessitate de-
scription of the many advantages
to be enjoyed.
Personally conducted tours via
Pennsylvania Railroad will leave
New York and Philadelphia Feb.
II and March IL, 1896. In addi-
ton to the many other points of
interest visited on the first tour a
stop will be made at New Orleans
for the Mardi-Gras festivities, and
four weeks will be allowed in Cali
fornia. On the second tour four
and one half weeks will be allowed
in California. An addition to the
magnificent train heretofore used
tor these tours is q through Pull
man compartment car.
The car, which will be the very
best that the Pullman Company can
supply, will contain nine inclOsed
compartments-two drawing rooms
and seven state rooms-and will be
attached to the special train at
Jersey City and run through to
San Diego, CAL, on the first tour,
and San Francisco on the second,
This will be the first car of its
kind to be run ON a transcOntinen-
tai train, and that it will be
thoroughly appreciated by particip-
ants in the tours is evidenced by
the fact already several of the COM
partments have been reserved.
Applications for space or timer
aries giving all information should
be made to Tourist Agent, 1876
Broadway, New York, or Room All,
Broad Street Station, Philadelphia.

One obstacle the Peoples party has to
contend with, and it is met in all new
parties, is a class of would-be leaders,
who do not possess the first qualification
of the leader. These men are ever on the
alert to assert themselves and claim con-
sideration for long or faithful service in
the cause or some other claim, and if their
self conceived ideas of their qualifications
to occupy the positions to which they
aspire are rejected, they are ready to
smash every thing in reach. Time rele-
gates this class to the rear but they do
considerable damage before they are
elbowed out.

Cruelty to Children.

Miss Lizzie Kelley, teacher OF
Buena Vista public school, Elk
Township, south east of Oxford,
was arrested on last Saturday by
Constable Pollock for whipping two
little boys. The case was heard be-
fore Squire Taylor Of Oxford, many
citizens of the township and
members of the school board at
tending.
Miss Kelley on Thursday whipped
with a heavy pointer little sons of
Arthur Ewing and John Buchanan,
bruising their backs badly. Prior
to this the school board had directed
her to be severe with pupils who
misbehaved, and not let them off
mildly. The other day Miss Kelley
saw young Ewing chewing gum and
young Buchanan cutting his desk.
Calling them up, she made them
take off their coats, and whipped
them soundly. Their parents were
indignant about the punishment,
as the boys backs were blue with
bruises. The suit was brought by
Lewis Buchanan, a brother of one
of the boys punished. AT the hear
ing in Squire Taylor's office young
Buchanan's back was barred, and
the crowd of spectators saw the
bruises. The matter was compro-
missed by the defendant and plain
tiff each paying half the costs.
That school marin belongs to the
old Irish school master regime of
sixty years ago.

A Venerable Board of Directors.

The annual meeting of the Conowingo
Bridge company OF Cecil county, was
held on Monday last. The old board of
directors was re- elected-Jacob Tome,
Levi X. Brown, James c. Bell, Richard
B. Mccoy and James S. Patterson. Few
bridge companies or any other organiza-
ton have such active and aged and
wealthy directors. Mr.. Tome, aged
eighty-six years, is the millionaire banker
of Port Deposit, James c. Bell aged
eighty-two years, is millionaire residing
in a fine mansion at Conowingo, from
which a beautiful view of the river is
obtained. He winters at Conowingo and
summers at his residence at Hudson, N.
Y, Levi K. Brown, aged eighty-two years,
resides at Goshen, Pa, on ancestral land.
He is prominent member of the Society
of Friends and is the correspondent of
Nottingham Quarterly Meeting of Balti-
more Yearly Meeting. One of his sons,
William H. Brown, is chief engineer of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Richard B. Mccoy, aged seventy four
years, resides at Dublin, Md. He was a
member of the Maryland Legislature of
1859 and other terms. Mr.. Mccoy was
largely instrumental in raising the
Seventh Maryland Regiment. He is one
of the original incorporated directors of
the bridge company by charter, in 1856,
and has continuously served in it since
that year. His place of nativity is Balti-
more. James S. Patterson residing at
White Rock, Pa, is the youngest
member of the board.

Foraker takes Brice's place as Senator
from Ohio. Bushnell, the second leg to
the tripod, has been installed Governor,
and Mckinley, the third leg, is waiting to
be nominated for President. The two
former of the triple Ohio alliance have
got their portion of the deal, and McKin-
ley, in all probability, will get-left.
We hazard prediction that before his
Senatorial term expires he will be as far
outside of the republican party as Jones
of Nevada. Foraker is not the man
to stay in a party when it begins to
show unmistakable signs of collapse.

Tours to the Golden Gate and Florida
via Pennsylvania Railroad


That the public are quick to
recognize the advantages of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
perfect personally conducted tourist
system is eXemplified by the annual
increase in the number of partici-
pants in tours organized under that
system. Aside from this, the grow
ing desire of Americans to see the
wonders of their land is also an
important factor in advancing this
healthy sentiment in favor of travel.
This seasons tours to California
will be conducted in all respects as
those of preceding years, and will
leave New York and Philadelphia
February ~ and March II, 1896.
On the first tour a stop will be
made at New Orleans for the Mardi-
Gras festivities, and four weeks
will be allowed in California. On
the second tour four and one-half
weeks will be allowed in California.
In addition to the tours to the
Golden Gate, a series of tours to
Jacksonville has been arranged.
The tours will leave New York and
Philadelphia January %, February
4, II, Is, and %, and March 3,
1896, and allow two weeks stay in
the Gland of Flowers

MYSTERIOUS Accident.

A fireman named Joseph Burke
on one of the P. w. & B. trains
met with a probably fatal accident
on Saturday evening. When his
train was about two miles from
Elkton it passed a train south
bound. Just then something struck
Burke, broke his arm and mashed
his skull. Engineer Brockman saw
Burke about to fall and caught
him. The cab windows in the
engine were also broken. Just
what caused the accident seems to
be a mystery. The injured man
was taken to a hospital in Will
mington.

Burning of the EIkton P. E. Church.


On Sunday morning last about
half past ten O'Clock when the
church bells of the town were all
ringing and the people were start
ing for church, the Trinity Protes-
tant Episcopal Church of Elkton
caught fire by the dry evergreens
which were used to decorate the
church during the holiday, taking
fire from the heat of the stove pipe.
The flames were first discovered by
the rector, Rev. William Schouler,
who was in the chancel of the
church preparing for the morning
services.
The evergreen decorations ex-
tended from one end of the church
to the other, and the building,
having high arched ceiling of hard
oiled wood, the arches were soon
one mass of flames.
The fire company were on the
ground in a few minutes after the
alarm was given but the dry pine
wood under the roof burned like a
torch and in few minutes the
whole interior of the church was
filled with smoke and flames. There
is nothing left of the building but
the bare walls and the floor which
was soon covered with water that
protected it from the fire.
The walls are of Brandywine
granite. The silver chancel service
was saved, it having been at the
house of Rev. Mr.. Schouler. The
large pipe organ, costing over a
thousand dollars, all the chancel
furniture, memorial windows and
tablets were destroyed.
DIR. John H. lamar, representing
the trustees and congregation of the
Presbyterian Church, has rendered
the Trinity congregation the use of
their chapel to hold services in
until the church is rebuilt, which
will be commenced Immediately.
There is about $500 insurance on
the church, organ and furniture,
which only partially covers the
loss.
