that Assistant Secretary John NJ.

Secretary Smith declines to talk
about the matter, but there is
every reason for believing that the

correct.
Secretary Smith retires of his
own vohtion and because having
learned that neither the President

SOME FREE COINAGE VERSES
BY THE TRAMP POET


There's Niger in the wood pile
Andat hidin' he's not tryin';
He is making fat dollars,
And his name is Billy BRYAN.
There is methol in his madness.
And he's talkin' through his hat;
And there's many that believe him.
Not KNOWN where they're at.
Oh, his head is filled with glory
And he's reachin for the place
Where he'd shine in song and story
As the savior of his race.
His gospels based on silver,
With its Judas faint of sin,
And for tloice times thirty pieces,
He'd scoop his country in.
Oh, he's pat with CLOWN speeches
And he quotes the scriptures well.
But the deyil, says the poet.
Can do the same in NebrasSa.#
But the Niger in the wood pile,
The boy orator of the Platte,
Can bet his fiat dollars
That he's talkin' through his hattie
For the honest brow ofLabor
VIII put on the holy seal,
And be led to crucifixion.
Than betray the commonweaI.

THE LAW DEFINED.
Punishment for Violating the New
Election Law as Laid Down by

- Learned Judge

/
Judge McSherry, in giving his in
structions to the grand jury, thus
lays down the law governing cleo
tons:
Recognizing the vital necessity
of protecting the absolute freedom
of the voter against every sinister
and improper influence, from what
ever quarter 1T may come, the Leg
islature of 1896, by section SO Of
chapter 292 enacted: eff at any
election hereafter held in any city
or county any person shall, by
force, threat, menace, intimlda-
ton, bribery or reward, or offer or
promise thereof, or otherwise un-
lawfully, either directly or 'indi-
rectlY' influence, or attempt to in
fluence, any voter in giving his
vote, or attempt to prevent CT him
der, or attempt to hinderd, any
qualified voter from freely eXercis-
ing the right of suffrage, or by any
such means induce or attempt to
induce any such person shall, upon
conviction thereof be punished by
imprisonment in jail or IN the peni-
Tertiary for not less than six months
nor more than five years. q
''This is the literal transcript of
section So of article SO of the code
except as to the punishment. I'm
der the code q fine and imprison-
ment in jail were imposed, while
under the act of 1896, the fine is
omitted, but the Imprisonment
may be in the penitentiary or the
jail.
''The terms Of this statute are
broad and sweeping. They cover,
and were intended to cover, every
case that can possibly arise, and
they were meant to reach all species
of intimidation which cunning
ingenuity could invent. 1t makes
no difference in what disguise the
intimidation, the threat or other
unlawful means resorted to be
clothed and it matters not how IN
directly the attempt to hinder the
voter from freely exercising the
right of suffrage be eXerted; every
device is within the statute and a
resort to any scheme will incur the
severest penalty prescribed.
eff creditor threatens to call in
his mortgage debt or to demand
payment of a promissory note or
other claim unless the debtor vote as
the creditor wishes, the creditor
thereby makes himself amenable
to the law. If an employer threat
ems to dismiss or discharge his
employe or to cut down his wages
unless the emploYe shall vote as the
employer requires, the employer, by
that threat, no matter how covertly
or indirectly made or communlca-
ted, renders himself liable, upon
conviction, to serve term of five
years in the penitentiary, and it
makes no difference who the en-
ployer may be. He may be pri-
vate individual or an officer, agent,
superintendent, or boss of cor
poration or of a firm. These in
stances are sufficient to illustrate
the scope of the law, though others
might be given. If resort be had
to any means of intimidation, the
guilty party will be answerable un-
der the law

WAYNESBORO, PA, Sept. IA
unique marriage ceremony was performed
here at the Reformed Mennonite Church
yesterday, by which jacob Frantz and
Miss Annie Stauffer became man and
wife.
A large congregation filed the editice
at $3.50 O'Clock. Bishop Jacob S. Lehman
Of Cham bersburg preached sermon about
two hours in length, which was announced
as being short account of the hot
weather. 1.-The Duties of Husband and
Wife" was his theme. AT Its close the
contracting parties, who had been seated
on opposite sides of the church, came for
ward and presented themselves at the
altar. A series of questions was pro-
pounded, and these having been an
swered affirmatively the young couple
were pronounced married. Both resumed
their seats and the church services were
concluded.
Courtship by members of this church is
pursued in manner peculiar to them
selves. Until the engagement, which IS
several weeks before the marriage, the
bride and groom have no communication
with each other. When brother in the
church wants to marry sister he does not
make his wish known directly to her, but

secret. The minister, if pleased with the
match carries the brothers. message. Th
sister is usually surprised, as this is sup
posed to be her first intimation of the
plan. If the proposal is received with
favor the negotiations are carried on by
the minister.
The ceremony always takes place in a
church. No invitations are issued, but
bans are proclaimed from the pulpit two
weeks beforehand. During this period the
groom is permitted to visit his intended
without the intervention of third party.
After the wedding a dinner is always
served, after which bride and groom 20 to
their respective homes ana remain apart
for several days. The marriages in the
church are generally happy ones, and
there is no record of any of the members
ever suing for q divorce.-Baltimore Sun.
