District Political News.

Mondays Congressional Record
contains the following paragraphs,
which shows that J J. Hart was
not quite so luckyas at first thought.
The Speaker; The Chair desires
to correct an error which was made
in the announcement of the commit
tee appointments; and he does it
with the consent of the gentlemen
concerned. The chair intended to ap-
point Mr.. Tracy ,ofDiissouri as a men,
Der of the Committee on Military Af-
airs, instead of Mr.. Hart Of Pennsyl-
vania who is on the committee on
Naval Affairs. If there be no OBJ
lection on the part of the house this
change will be made" There was
no objection, and it was ordered ac-
cordingly.
Howard Mutchler will be a candi-
date for Congress from the old Tenth
District next Fall, and will no doubt
make it, This will give Chairman
Harrity a pain in the left vortex of
the heart, but the people want
Mutchler, and the people ought to
be allowed to have what they want,
although at all times they don't get
it.-Philadelphia Item.

Phix Drew spritSs Like Brownies For
Punoh Years Ago
Mr.. Shaw Of Stockton, Cal, makes
the startling charge that the celebrated
Palmer Coz, the man who has always
been supposed TO have been the creator
of the fascinating brownies, is a plagia-
rist; that he has stolen his ideas from
other sources; that the brownies were
the fancy Of another mans brain and
were disporting themselves after the
manner Of goblins when Mr.. Cox, as
Mr.. Shaw elegantly puts it, twas still
on spoon diet. In other words, accord
ing TO the statement Of this California
Hawkshaw, Mr. Palmer Cox was but 4
years old when the brownies were first
introduced to the public.
1t seems that one afternoon while Mr..
Shaw was rummaging over some old
books in the Stockton Public library he
chanced to run across bound volume Of
The Illustrated London News for the
year 1645. Skimming lightly over its
pages, he was somewhat taken aback
when his eyes fell upon a quaint draw
ing Of one Phiz. In this quaint draw
ing the lineaments and outlines Of the
celebrated Mr.. Brownie plainly appear
ed.
Mr. Shaw then proceeded to investi-
gate further, and succeeded in unearth-
ing a lot more brownies in elderly
numbers Of London Punch. These were
printed long, long ago, when Punch
was funny paper. There were swarms
of brownies in them-Irishmen Indi-
ans, policemen, Cinnamon and soldiers
"all created, says Mr.. Shaw, referring
to the event from which all Californi-
ans reckon time, flour or five years be-
fore gold was discovered in California. :"
Phiz is the pseudonym for Hablot
Knight Browne. he had been an artist
on Punch for many years. and had been
the illustrator Of Dickens "Pickwick
Papers. +" His success had at once estab-
lished his reputation as one Of the first
among the comic artists Of the day.

TO Increase Rex Bssoniss.

If you wish to raise a number of
new plants of Rex or other large
leafed begonias, take a sharp knife
and make cut at the intersection
of the veins. Then lay the leaf,
veined side down, on a saucer of wet
sand, place in a sunny window and
keep damp. Tiny plants will form
at the cuts. When an inch high,
they may be lifted into thumb pots.
This is a very fascinating way to
grow begonias. .-Womankind.

HARRISBURG, Jan. 3.-Funds are
low at the state treasury, and the
revenues of this year will have to
be dipped into to the extent of near
ly $3,0O0,000 to make up the defici-
ency of the year just ended. There
is a balance of over 81, 600, 600 in the
general fund, but the amount due
Philadelphia on the personal prop
erty tax returnable and to state in
stitutions will almost wipe this out.
The balance now is smaller by hund-
reds of thousands than it has been
at this period for several years, but
the state fiscal authorities think the
increase of revenues on account of
improved business conditions will
enable them to close the year in
good shape.

l.. Smiliug,y Confessed.

San Francisco. March Rev. DR..
Brown, after two months silence, has
given his defense to the public. The
story is the most startling which has
vet been told in this sensational affair.
1t was related as u confession to the
ecclesiastical court last night by Miss
Martha Overnann, who is the first in
the case to confess herself Il blackmail-
er. Miss Overmanns manner was
striking. She spoke so quietly that
even the members of the council were
forced to draw forward until their
chairs formed small semi-circle on
the platform. The woman spoke de-
liberately. weaving Il remarkable story
logically and clearly.
She confessed that she was n black
mailer and tried to be Il thier. and she
impaired this astonishing information
with Il smile She confessed that she
plotted the destruction of the man
whose hospitality she now enjoys. She
declared that. to save herself from work
and the possible hardships of poverty,
she conspired with Mrs. Mary a. David
son to ruin the reputation of Rev. DR..
Brown and to biacken her own.
She asserted that she went to the
representatives of II morning newspa-
per with hope of tempting them to
blackniail the accused pastor. and drew
her recital to n dramatic climax by as
sorting with the smile that never left
her face. that she wrote the letters
whicn pictured her own moral and
physical ruin and placed the cause of
her deep distress at the door of Rev.
Dr. Brown. Asserting all this. she de-
MED that there had ever been the
slightest impropIipty in her relations

will have general applica tion through
out the state. The election officers
here. having been elected before the en-
actmnt of tn law of June. 1895. relative
to the increase of pay of Judges and in
spectors of elections. the county COM
missioneTs refused to award them or
ders on the county treasurer for the
amount OF the bills. as provided by the
act of 1899 The disgruntlCd election Of
iicers thereupon took out "a rule on the
commissioners to show cause why their
bills should not he paid in accordance
with the new act.
Judge Bailey decides that the petit
TONERS are entitled to receive pay under
the provisions of the law as it stood at
the time of their election and not under
the act of 1895.
