TOUCHES OF BEAUTY
Greet you at every turn. The
old rambling buildings are as
plain as a greenhouse without.
A step and you are in the
midst of the brightness of
Spring. Merchandise from
three continents contributes
most of the beauty. 1t has
been CLEANED by a corps of
globe-trotter5 especially for
Philadelphia shoppers. No
wonder that such unmatched
collections of goods should
tempt women from far and
near to become RhlIadcLbAla

live. A bright style-hunter
says she has made her last
trip to Paris, for a day at
Wanamaker's is as instructive
as six weeks stay in Paris.

Free School Books were defeated by Dem
ocrats two years ago, and the only reform
IN election methods allowed by them in a
score of years is the sO-called Australian
Ballot. The Republican members were all
new at legislative work and it is remarkable
the amount of good work they have been
able to get through with.
Mrs. Jennie Friel, wife of Capt. Daniel
Friel of Queenstown, was killed Friday by
being thrown from dog cart. She had
started from her home to go to st. Peters
Church to decorate it for Easter. In driv-
ing through the gate in front of her resi-
dence one of the wheels struck the post,
throwing her to the ground. She was car
RED into the house unconscious and died in
about an hour.
The DoINGs OF THE LEGIsLATURE.-Th
american UniOn"ha the following to say
about the late session of the Legislature;
Republicans and Democrats who cast
their votes to elect Governor LOwndes and
the Legislature which has just adjourned,
can review with feelings of satisfaction the
record that was completed on the 30th ult.
Four important pledges were made by the
Republican convention which named the
Republican candidates and the Governor.
A Re-assessment law; a Free School Book
law and a Civil Service. All of these pledg-
eS have been carried out as fully as 1t was
possible to do against the opposition OF
Democratic Senate The first three have
been carried out by the enactment of laws
and the people are to decide whether or not,
the merit system shall be introduced
throughout the state. No man who is not
blinded by partisan prejudice will deny that
this is a creditable record The Democrat
ic record shows that that party has deceiv-
ed the people no less than four different
times and for eight or ten successive years
on the assessment issue alone. Farmer
Brown made his campaign for Governor
upon that issue, and then defeated reassess-
ment at both sessions during his term.
1t will be an agreeable surprise to
persons subject to attacks of bilious
