Christmas, as the poet SAYS, is ''the
day that we love best" and for reasons
known to all Christian and civilized
peoples For almost two thousand
years this festival has had for human
itv a meaning the force and sacreduess
of which has increased with the wears
and the ages. 1t meant and means
much to bum nifty. With it are assori-
ated hallOwed memories. ON no other
occasion do our thoughts wander back
to the long past as on Christmas day.
1t revives our youth, it brings back old
faces and places We love to linger upon.
With the breaking of its dawn the veil
of time seems to rise and we see re
vealed the crib in Bethlehem and all
the scenes in the life of the Saviour to
His death upon Calvary.
Christmas, however, while a religious
festival, is also day Of merrimcnt of
rejoicing. of kindly deeds. People still
take delight in its coming, and as far as
their means Will allow, strive BY deeds
of kindess to make other people happy.
THIS Is the proper way to celebrate
Christmas. 1t is a festival Of love, Of
JOY; SO let love and joy be unconfncd,
and may all our readers and friends in
general share to the fullest extent in
the joys of the occasion.

OUR BANKING LAW.

One by one our banks keep falling.
dragging down with them others, and
involving their customers in financial
disaster. What is the reason? We
are very much given to boasting about
our institutions, and we are not SLOW to
resentany uncomplImentary re fcrcnccs
to them, but there is no DENYING the
truth Of the oft repeated assertion that
our banking system is rotten through
and through. There are honest bank
ers, of course; this we know for a fact.
But the law Is of such a lose character
that banks are started upon fictitious
capital and money is received on de
post and loaned out, in numberless in
stances, upon worthless security. Thus
are thrifty people simply robbed Of their
hard earned savings, with next to no
hope of redress ON Monday last one

PROBABLE MURDER.


Swindt to Kill.
Shortly after three o'clock this afternoon
Thomas Eisenhower deliberately shot John
Swindt in the left back and region of the
heart The shooting took place on the
Lehigh Valley railroad, near the Main street
crossing. Eisenhower was at once seized by
several citizens and taken before Justice
Williams, who committed him without bail.
Swndt was taken to his home on East
Apple alley
Eisenhower was perfectly cool during the
whole affair. He said he laid in wait for the
victim and shot him because he had been
intimate with Mrs Eisenhower and ruined
his home. The weapon used was an ugly look
ing one of 3s calibre. Eisenhower was formerly
night watchman at the Turkey Run colliery
and has been separated from his wife for
some time. As the HERALD went to press
the prisoner was taken to the lookup, heavily
handcufed, and will be held for u further
hearing. 1t has just been learned that
Eisenhower made mistake and shot the
twin brother of his intended victim, William
Swindt. The victim resides with his wife
and children. He is 80 years of age and
bears such a striking resemblance to his
brother that mistake could be very easily
made in recognition.

SENATOR oUAY's CANDIDACY
He Announces That He Is in the Presi-

PITTsBURG, Feb. Ex-senator Quay has
dispellad all doubts as to the sincerity of
the movement in favor of his nomination
for the presidency at the st. Louis conven-
tion through an interview with Frank
De H. Robson, of Cleveland.
Mr.. Robson, who Is the representative
of Mark A. Hanna, Ex-Governor McI[in-
ley's right hand man, called on Senator
Quay at his home in Beaver yesterday and
pointedly asked the latter what his real
position in the presidential race is. The
query was brought about by the numerous
statements that Senator Quay's candidacy
was merely bluff,
Mr.. Robson said the senator received
him cordially and in answer to the lead
ing question unhesitatingly, and without
qualification, said his candidacy was bona
tlde in every respect, and that no was in
the fight to win Should he fail it would
not be because his friends would not work
faithfully to attain their end.
Mr.. Robson was pleased with the out
spoken way in which Senator Quay met
him, but says the Mckinley forces will be
nothing daunted, and will not waver
particle in their allegiance to him.

NEW TRIBES IN AFRICA !
Dr.. Donaldson Smiths Discoveries in
the Dark Continent.
INTO AN UNEMPLOYED COUNTRY
His Discoveries Have Aroused Great Inter
est Among the Learned Societies of
Europe and He is warmly congratu-
lated by the Royal Society.

New YORK, Feb. 17.--Dr. Donaldson
Smith, the young Philadelphia physician
who has recently experienced some stir
ring adventures on his expedition to Lake
Rudolph, Africa, arrived here yesterday
from England on board the st. Louis He
went direct to his home in Philadelphia,
where he will be busy with his book on his
last journey which will be published
simultaneously in England and America.
DIR. Smith contemplates another expedi-
tion to northeast Africa, starting as before
from London.
During his recent trip the explorer had
some magnificent sport, and had some
narrow escapes from big game. He shot
a number of elephants, one with pair of
tusks weighing over POS pounds. He took
altogether more than u thousand pounds
weight of ivory. Over twenty rhinoceri
fell to his gun, thirteen elephants aud sew
eral lions and other big game. During his
travels four of his boys were wounded and
two of his transport camels killed by an
infuriated rhinoceros, and DR.. Smith al
most lost his life on more than one oc-
casion by wild charges of this beast.
During his expedition he fought two
pitched battles, and it will be remembered
the whole party had narrow escape from
being cut up by the Abyssinian army un-
der King Menelik.
DIR. Smith has received congratulations
all around in England by prominent
| scientists and learned societies on the re-
suits Of his journey. Not only did he sue
ceed in penetratinga a country hitherto un-
visited by white men-although several
unsuccessful attempts had been made
but he has made detailed and accurate
maps, to which the Royal Geographical
society attach the highest Importance.
Perhaps of the greatest popular interest
is his discovery of many new tribes whose
existence was previously unknown. Among
these is a race of pigmies the fact of whose
discovery has caused something like a
commotion in scientific circles. These
curious people are Of negro type, are coal
black and absolutely naked Although OF
| great physical beauty with well formed
limbs, they are barely removed from ami
mails and their code of morality is very
lax. Later in life, however, they settle
down and marry. These remarkable peo-
| pie are all between four and five feet high
and live in primitive conical huts. Their
only industry is corn raising and the rear
ing of sheep and goats They are born
hunters. In warfare they use poisoned
arrows, the wounds inflicted by which
| prove fatal within an hour.
