Coray Says Roll is Padded .

Representative Coray of Luzerne,
the fighting leader of the Seventy
Six" has issued n card about the pay
OF legislative upernumeraries, tc
which the governor and State Treas
urcr Haywood are invited to reply.
Mr.. Coray says:
In regard to the items for salaries
CT the officers and employees of the
senate and house, l believe that the
governor says that he has been fur
nished by the state treasurer with
a detailed statement of the officers
and employees and their compensa-
tion authorized by law, amounting
to Sl0G,396, which amount the gov
ernor approves.
IF the syato treasurer has sub
mitted such n statement, | assert
and am ready to prove whenever and
wherever called upon to do so that
that official has padded his state
ment to the extent of over $40, 900.
suspect that is about the amount he
has unlawfully advanced to super.
numeraries and is hedging to pro-
tect himself from loss. l stand by
the figures l submitted on the Roor
of the house"
Coray is the man who openly
charged on the floor of the house
the last night of the session that the
expense list of the house and senate
was padded. As result of his
speech and newspaper investigation
and agitation the governor vetoed
about $25,000.

A Business Man Talks to a Farmer

"No," said the hardware man tc
the farmer, as he tied up thc pack
age of nails in the paper, Gas you
say, people talk about the low price
of what they sell, and don't say a
word about the low price of what
they buy. Take those nails, now.
What do you suppose Those nails
would cost you ten years ago? just
about six cents a pound, and now
you can take this lot of better goods
at 3 cents and the extra wrapper
thrown in. That's not much, you
say. Not SO much on little lot of
nails, perhaps, but 10 cents isn't
much on tie bushel of potatoes you
brought in just now,. that's >.all the
difference in price from ten years
ago, and yet you grumble at the low
price. It's not the pound of nails
that hurts you. Everything in my
store has gone down the same way.
Your wheat and hay and chickens
and butter and eggs bring you sub
stantially the same prices they did
ten years ago. You farmers forget
that you have things to buy as well
as things to sell. Want to buy Il
plow this year? There's Il dandy
for Sl2. Ten years ago I'd have
asked SIG for it. There's 81 saved
to you at one clip. There's better
planter than the one ! sold you
ten years ago for S60-a whole lot
better. Take it along for $40. Re
member that binder you bought of
me ten years ago for $3.50? Must
he worn out, ch? I'll sell you 80
per cent. better one to-day and
throw of the $50. You farmers
don't know when you are well oil.

THE ENGLISH JUBILEE.
Mary Hill.rd Loines, Brooklyn. ny.

| Mary Hillard Loines, Brooklyn, NY.
Any American who visits England
this year will be struck by the signs
on every hand of the glorificstion of
q woman's reign. On June %, will
be completed the longest reign of
any sovereign in Christendom. Pso-
pie from every quarter of the globe
are coming to do honor to a woman.
The shop windows for months past
haye been full of medals, coins and
souvenirs of every description to
commemorate the Queens "Dia-
mond" Jubilee, as it is universally, If
unreasonably. called. Streets on the
route of the great procession are full
OF advertisements Of seats to let on
the eventful day at fabulous prices.
One enterprising speculator has even
bought and torn down building,
all but the ground floor, in order to
erect in its place an amphitheatre of
seats to look upon the notable and
noble gathering to assemble in front
of the venerable st. Pauls.
And so it seems a fitting time when
all are praislng the peace, property
and progress of England under the
sixty years of Victoria's reign, to
bring before the House of Commons
on the following day, for the third
reading, the bill providing for the
Parliamentary Franchise of Women.
Little by little, the women of Eng
land have gained some of their po.
litical rights and now are seeking
for the full suffrage accorded only in
the colonies of New Zealand and
South Australia and in the Isle of
Man.
AS we look for our past history in
the records of the English race. so
do we look to the present develop
ments in political progress in Eng.
land, to show us what the future has
in store for the women citizens of
this country.
While an English woman is the
honored sovereign of a great coun-
try, shall her American sister, the
sovereign of her home, than whom
no woman in any land is more re-
spected, be deprived of her full citi-
zenship?
Shall we not strive to make theory
and practice agree and exemplify the
true democratic principles that tax
alton without representation is ty-
ranny" and that women are the po-
litical equals of men.
Therefore. watch for the proceed
ings in the House of Commons on
June 23rd, and if the Englishmen
honor their sisters by voting them
full suffrage, we can ask it more con-
fdently OF our brothers.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, IA receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from
imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidnevs is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purposes,
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back of
and very close to the bladder there's
fore any pain, disease or inconveni-
ence manifested in the kidneys. back,
bladder or urinary passage is often, by
mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided. To find out corr
rectly, set your urine asida for twenty
four hours. Il sediment or settling
indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of DR. Kilmer'r Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, and bladder remedy is
soon realized. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. At drug.

There are hundreds Of boys from twelve

up in the worst possible way, and without

from school, loaf on the street corners

swiftly qualify themselves for careers or

The problem Of what to DO with them
has been troubling the children's guardians
for a long time.
After long consideration the propriety
of a farm school has presented itself as a
fair solution OF the difficulty, and Mr..
William II. II. Hart, colored man, who
owns farm I'm the neighbOrhood OF Fort

guardians in the work OF instructing
colOred boys to become agriculturists.

it might as well be called a number of other
things 50 far the plot is concerned. 1t
is simply an Irish stew of topical songs,
dances, witticisms, character sketches and
general kicksy- wicksiness, full Of spice and
movement from beginning to end; besides
a tramp in a wonderful costume, who gets
some of the best rounds of appla use in his
topical songs, and who is impersOnated by
a Washington boy, Nat NJ. Wills. when
Mr.. Wills did his remarks about current
events in the first act, the audience seemed
to feel quite hurt that he had to leave the
stage at all, but the play had to go on, and
SO, after an encore or two, he re tired. The
Irish parts were played by John 7. Tierney
and Mark Murphy. Mile. Loretta, Marguer-
