COME ONE!

The object of the Food Fair is to
show what rapid strides are being
made by Manufacturers, Wholesalers
and Retailers towards placing upon
the market and giving to the consum-
ers absolute pure, nutritious and
healthful food products.
These exhibits are the most direct
and impressive way to reach the con-
sumner, and the manufacturers who
have already engaged space to show
their products, gives assurance of the
success of the exhibit.

His Commission S2,000,000.
Henry W. divers PrinccIy Share Of the
Mesaba Range Deal.

The princely commission of So, 1000,
900 has, it is reported, been received
by Henry w. Oliver, the iron and
steel manufacturer of Pittsburg, for
having effected the Rockefeler-C Car
negie ore deal, by the terms of which
the Carnegie Steel Company and the
Oliver Iron and Steel Company Sc
cured lease for 50 years of the
Mesaba Range, Minnesota, and will
soon be able to command the markets
of the world.
The discovery of the Mesaba mines,
the fierce contests for their possession
and the subsequent lease to the Car.
negie-Oliver interests are the subjects
of much animated discussion at the
clubs and among manufacturers, bank
ers and business men generally. Mr..
divers connection with the deal has
become most prominent, and is most
frequently complimented. The story
of Mr.. divers So, 10000 commission
is credited among his closest friends.

A 0ne-sided Legislature.

The Legislature of Pennsylvania
met on Tuesday under peculiar cir.
cumstances. The preponderance of
Republican representatives. is SO great
that if half OF the Numbers should die
or move out of the State that party
would still have a comfortable work
ing majority. In this state Of affairs
the ordinary curb upon unfair, parti-
san legislation does not exist The
Democratic minority is mere appen-
dage, without power to help itself or
to hinder the enemy. There is, in
fact, no restraint upon the majority
in the Legislature, except the limita-
tions Of the Constitution. The Ex-
ecutive veto would prove no stop.
This is both unprecedented and
dangerous. 1t is not only dangerous
to the Commonwealth, but dangerous
TO the party in control. If when the
present Legislature shall have done
its work and adjourned the people Of
Pennsylvania shall be as well off il
person and estate as they are now OF
the day Of its assemblage there vii
be good reason for thanksgiving. Th
noisome struggle over the SenatorshiI
makes cloudy beginning.-PHiIa

PENROSE FOR
SENATOR.
Ne Defeats Wanamaker in the Republican
Caucus by a vote Of 1873 to rs.

The Republican members of both
branches of the state legislature met
in caucus in Harrisburg last Tuesday
night to nominate a candidate for
United States Senator. John Wana-
maker and Boies Penrose both of
Philadelphia, were named, and the
vote resulted in the choice of Pen
rose, he receiving 1873 votes, and his
opponent IS. 1t requires only I2S
votes to elect, so Penrose will be
elected.
After the result was known Mr..
Wanamaker gave out the following
statement for publication
The result is not unexpected. 1t
seems like miracle at the first go
off In such an effort as this to break
76 holes in the slate machine.
No one not inside the committee
of business men who have conducted
this battle can imagine the magnitude
of the forces against us.
The power of an old, watched,
carefully-greased State machine, the
State Committee, It's Offices and
funds. The reflex of the National
Committee through the State Repre-
sentative who used the Office in New
York last autumn in conducting a
campaign against me.
" The assuming in advance and
Distribution Of the places of the Nc
Kinley Administration to control
votes of members on the Senatorial
question were all powerful obstacles
in this battle royal. Who would ever
have thought that few business man
could wage such war practically
within the brief period since the
Presidential election 1t only shows
what will be done with better,
stronger, more persistent organization
d" The nation began in '76, and the
new Pennsylvania may begin with the
votes of the '76 true men who re-
membered the sacred right of the
people in petition and voted withou,
domination.
90 This election is simply the ex
preston of the will Of one man, who
after promising the senatorial office;
to the Governor and other citizen:
use the power of patronage to shut
off whom he pleases irrespective O
the peoples wishes.
1t is rather rough on the greatest
State of the Union, but it is grea
victory for me and for the business
men, as l look at it.
" My sinceresf thanks to all who
have shown friendlness to me, and
have only to add that, while l hold i
is the duty OF every one particlpatin:
IN the party caucus to abide by th'
will CT the majority, it was an erro
to state that the motion to make thu
Senatorial nomination unanimous wa
made at my request

Editing a Newspaper.

Editing a newspaper is a pleasant
business-if you can stand it.
If it contains many advertisements
the subscribers complain that they
take too much space.
If there is a scarcity Of advertising
it is unpopular and the people won't
have it.
If we attend church regularly they
say we 60 for effect.
If we stay away from church they
say we are monstrously heathenish.
If we accept N invitation to a
wedding they say we were only invited
to "write it up"
FIVE go to the Opera House they
say we 60 on free tickets.
If we are seen upon the streets too
often they say we neglect our
business.
If we avoid going on the streets
they say we don't hustle around after
the news.
II we reject a long wihded com
munication its author becomes furi-
ously enraged and discontinues his
paper.
IF we publish lengthy communica
tions our readers say we lack discre-
ton and put in anything to fill up. ,
If we neglect to decorate our Office
windows on the Fourth Of July, they
say we lack enterprise and that there
isn't drop Of patriotic blood flowing
in our degraded barcasses.
| five swell out in new suit o.
clothes and celebrate ground hog day
they say we got our clothes in pay
ment for advertising, and that we are
| by far too foppish.
| If, in our frailty, we sometime:
perpetrate joke, or make staggel
at poor little pun, they say we are
exceedingly light and won't do.
| If we omit any jokes they say we
are poor, miserable fossils.
| If we are single they say we are toe
helpless to get married.
| five are not single they say it is ;
pity for our wives.
If we publish a man who ha
brought disgrace upon his family, th'
friends of the family never forgive us
If we out of goodness Of heart, de
cline to say anything on the subject
the mans enemies are disappointed
and we are branded as white-livereC
|, towards.
We are able to stand these rap
and many more, and are always read
to receive visitors whether accom-
panied by dog or not. Of cours
we do not claim there is any work il
running a newspaper: everyone
knows it is snap.-Er.

Europe and Peace,

An interesting autograph letter of
the late Signor Crispi was sold the
other day at sale in Berlin. Its
contents were as follows: "Some
assert that Europe inclines to peace.
1t is an illusion. The powers who are
thinking of revenge, or who have
ambitious plans, do not plunge into a
war, because they fear it. On the
day when they think themselves sure
Of success, peace will be at an end
and Europe will be turned into a
battlefield" 1t is to be presumed
that the autograph is dated, but the
English correspondent who sends l,
does not mention a date.

A Monster Fox Hunt.
Some 500 Hounds and 1000 Riders to
Follow.

Phenixville, Pa, Jan. 4.-The
Phoenix and Williams Corner hunts
are preparing to give the greatest fox
hunt ever seen in the Schuylkill Valley,
and probably in the State. The event
is TO come off about February and
1000 invitations have already been
sent out. Two large male foxes are
already in readiness to be dropped,
and as they have led other chases
there is no doubt but what they will
make good runs. The first fox will be
dropped at 1880 o'clock in the morn
ing on a bluff near the historic Moore
Hall mansion, where Washington and
his wife were entertained 100 years
ago. The second fox will be dropped
at 2.3o in the afternoon at point
where Washington often forded the
Schuylkill while encamped at Valley
Forge.
The following hunts will participate:
Radnor, Monmouth, Bellwood, Gar
Der, Washington, Rose Tree, CARRIER
Black Rock, Pinkerton, Birdsboro,
Kimberton, Zionville, Gulf Mills,
Anselma, Birchrunville, Valley, Tin
field, Williams Corner, Phoenix, Yves,
Chester, Collegeville and others. Il
is expected that there will be at least
500 hounds and as many riders. Last
years hunt was big affair, but this
years hunt will be the greatest of the
kind ever witnessed in the Schuylkil
Valley.

Watching a Beating Heart.
Its Movements Clearly DiscernibIe by the
Roentgen Rays.

In a recent number of the Lancet
it was shown that with proper appara-
tus and experience the X rays could
be turned to practical account in the
diagnosis of the disease of the heart CT
other internal organs. When focus
tube is placed behind a person so that
the rays pass through the thorax, a
striking effect is produced. The bone S
are very clearly depicted, while the
heart is seen as a definite shadow in
contradistinction 20 the light area
around. This light area is occupied
by the lungs, which are not dense
enough to stop the rays, but allow
them to pass through and give rise to
a fluorescence on the screen. The
shadow Of the heart is not uniform in
intensity, being lighter at the margins
than towards the centre, but the out
line can be clearly seen and its pulsa-
ting movements detected. The lower
limit of the thorax is bounded by a
dark shadow, which corresponds to
the diaphragm, with the liver beneath
it, and the ascent and descent of the
diaphragm with each respiration can
be clearly seen.
Several recent cases of the determi
nation Of the existence of suspected
aneurisms are also given in the Lancet
the enlarged growth of the arteries
showing up quite distinctly on the
Horoscope and proving beyond ;
| doubt the nature of the trouble.

body. According to DIR. Wood the
druggist should refuse to- furnish
any medicine and tell the man TO
consult doctor. Ten to one the
chances are that the man will say
"not much, am not going to spend
two dollars for seeing doctor be-
cause have got little--ache,"
and he will "walk the streets" to the
eminent danger OF his fellow citi-
zens, aud not even with the relief
which the druggists medicine might
give him. The patent medicines,
for the sale OF which the druggists
pay a license fee have on their lables
full explanations OF their alleged
curative powers from ridding man
of his corns to curing his diphteria or
curling his hair. The sale OF such
medicine according to DR.. Wood, if
he is consistent, should be con-
strued az practising medicine with
out license. And how about the
caterers to the "lnner" man, who
are daily consulted by suffering"
citizens? We have seen very pro.
minent member OF the Board OF
Health sail into the Union with his
hands on his stomach and say:
"Cunha, old man, give me some
thing which will relieve me of my
stomach ache" And very good
sized drink OF brandy and black
berry brandy will be handed over

with the cheerful remark: "Here,

do you more good than annexation"
