A Hlil.i0nsire's Hard Eate.

How sadly deficient some people arc
Of any sense Of humor when the subject
is themselves! Take the Duke of Devon
shire, who delivered speech at the
opening Of "Passmove Edwards
House" for epiloptics. So long US he
kept to the epileptios the duke managed
well enough, but before he sat down ho
must needs set on the subject of him
self and the sorrows of the poor mil
liorQre:
ut might perhaps be considered pre-
sumptuous for ono who was reputed to
be rich himself to offer advice to other
rich men which he had not taken him
self OF was not himself prepared to fol-
low, but pClhaps he might be allowed to
point out that there was some difference
between those who happened to be in
the possession Of wealth inherited from
several generations and those who had
created their own fortunes. Their prede-
cessors, in cases like his own, had gen.
orally contriyed to find quite as many
channels by which wealth flowed out as
by which it flowed in, and those who
had for the benefit and advantage of
their successors created great estates, en-
failing much labor In administration
and many responsibilities, had not left
to their successors legacy of unmitigat-
cd advantage"

Mr.. EDIroR:-Having resided In VIII
mingtOn from 1879 to 1898, | am in hopes
you will communicate this letter to all tho
Republicans throughout the State. There
is an element in the Democratic party,
which is more feared by the party man.
ayers than the Gold Democratic Voters,
who will have nothing to say until election
and vote tho Republicon ticket, without
any remarks on the matter There arc
hundreds Of those men in the city of vii.
mington, who will vote the Republican
ticket
Ii the Republican party will get together
and have ono ticket, the Electoral tlCkrU
for Mckinley and Hobart, these mon will
vote il. But if there are two, as there are
at present, they will not vote at all, for
none Of them desire to throw away their
vote. am in hopes, Mr.. Editor, they
will be given chance to vote that way.
Two factions in any political party can
fall is an important one. We have been
asking for reform and II new constitution
if our party continue to be divided, we are
good for hundred years more of
Democratic rule. | hope Mr. Editor,
that you will publish tho Same for tho
benefit OF my Republican friends
know but one party, the party Of
Lincoln and of Grant Garfield, Blaine
and Harrison
Mckinley and tho whole Republican
ticket. You want to rule your city, and the
only way it can be dCno is to unite these
two factions of the Republican party.
Go to the polls on the }rd of November
and bury the Silver Democratic partyi
and it will be party of the past.
am Respectfully Yours,

HOMESTEAD. Pa, Sept = Prompt
action by the police authorities yesterday
prevented probable lynching here. Early
in the morning four negroes broke into
the residence of William Marsh, a promi-
nent picture dealer, for the purpose of
robbery and probably more heinous
crime. They entered the sloeping apart
ment of Mr.. Marsh's three daughters, and
upon discovery one tried to strangle Miss
Annie Marsh. The father came to tho
rescue and the negroes fled, One of them,
Isaac Mills, jumped from tho second story
window and was so badly hurt that he
will probably die The others we're or"
rested and crowd Of about 300 planned
to lynch them, but the officials smuggled
them out of town and lodged them safely
in jail In Pttsburg.
