rhree-pay Tour TO wn.hlngton.

Washington at present is the cynosure OF
all eyes; not only because it is the Nations
Capital and of the interest which attaches to
the deliberations of Congress, but the bril-
liant Presidential reception on New Years
Day formally opened the season Of fashion
able festivities, and it has now become the
great social centre of the country. Brilliant
minds, waving for the time the cares of
government, ahaudOn themselves to the gay
whirl Of the social world. Receptions, din
ners, balls follow each other with bewilder-
ing rapidity.
The state of tho Cuban question and the
possibilities of Congressional action is also
claiming attention, and the never-dying in
terest which attaches to the many depart
ments Of the Government is attracting its
usual number Of visitors.
The three-day personslly-conducted t. VI
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
which leaves New York January 81, affords
the best opportunity of visiting the National
Capital at this season. The party win be
under the care and guidance of an eX-
perienoed tourist agent, and the program in
Washington has been prepared with an ac
curate knowledge Of the location and best
time to visit each of the principal points Of
interest.

portati0n in each direction and accommOda-
lions at the best Washington hotels, will be

To see Florida is a pleasure; Co visit it is a
privilege; but to spend a fortnight within its
borders is an epoch. There is a great ~satisfac-
ton in witnessing the ripening of tropical
fruits in their own native land, and a peculiar
joy in wrestling with old oceans waves when
lakes and rivers at home are all icebound.
One appreciates the wonders of modern in
|Vention and railroad development upon
leaving the neighborhood Of good skating one
day and finding himself in the vicinity Of
good bathing the next. Yet this can be done,
and the man who prefers hunting or fishing
will take his accoutrements along with him,
for Florida extends a cordial invitation to all
spOrtsmen.
Whoever would exchange for two weeks
the uncertain climate Of the North for the
delightful and S%pring-like sunshine of
Florida should take the persohally-conducted
Jacksonville tour Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road which leaves New York by special train
January 20. Excursion tickets for this tour,
including railway transportation, Pullman
accommodations Zone BERTH, and meals en-
route in both directions while travelling on
the special train, will be sold at the following
rates New York, $4,000; Philadelphia,
$500; Canandaigua, S52.S5; Erie, S54.85
Wilkesbarre, S50.35 Pittsburg $500, and
at propOrtiOnate rates from other points.
For tickets, itineraries, and other informa-
ton apply to ticket agents, tourist agent at
1895 Broadway, New York, or to Geo. w.
Boyd, Assistant General Passenger Agent,
Broad Street station, Philadelphia.

THAT CANTON VISIT.

There has been much speculation as to the
object and result of the visit of Senators
Quay and Penrose to Canton, but as neither
Of the two gentlemen named nor Major Nc
Kinley will talk for Publication the public
has no definite information. 1t will be re-
membsred, however, that what might prop
erly be termed the first official announce
ment that Senator Quay would support Mr..
Penrose for the succession to Don Cameron in
the Senate, in preference to the many other
candidates, came from Major Carson in his
Washington dispatches to the Philadelphia
Ledger. That was on or about the first Of
December,
In view Of this fact Major Carson's version
Of the recent visit Of Senators Quay and
Penrose to Canton may be accepted as the
nearest to correct Of the many that have APP
peared in the newspapers. Mr.. Carson in his
careful way says Quay and Penrose went
to Canton on their own motion, but were
none the less welcome. It is currently re-
ported that tho primary purpose Of the visit
was to urge the name of Governor Hastings
for Cabinet place, and the two Senators,
while declining to talk with any dehniteness
about their interview with the President
elect, give out strong limitations that the
object Of the visit was to place the name Of
Governor Hastings on the eligible list for a
Cabinet place.
There is reason for the belief, however,
that Msssrs. Quay and Penrose went to Can
ton more for the purpose Of keeping out a
certain gentleman, whose name has been
prominently mentioned in this connection,
than with an expectation Of putting a man
in the Cabinet. Mr.. Charles Emory Smith,
Of Philadelphia, has been named by the
President-elect as one who was moro likely to
be placed on the list Of Cabinet Ministers
than many Of those whose names have boon
paraded with frequency and conspicuous
ness in the newspapers. The two Pennsyl-
vania Senators may have said nothing against
the selection Of Mr.. Smith as the repre-
sentative from Pennsylvania, but they I'M
doubtedly named Gov. Hastings in the eE-
pectation that this would be accepted as q
protest against the selection Of that gentle
man."
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1897-01-22

THE selection of Mr.. w. R. Andrews, who
is at present secretary of the Republican
State Committee, to be private secretary of
United States Senator Penrose, is an evidence
that the latter believes in rewarding ones
friends. Mr.. Andrews has a wide acquaint-
ance among the Republican leaders of the
state, and he has plainly shown that he is
well equipped for so exacting a position by
the manner in which he has performed the
duties of his present position. Mr.. Penrose
is certainly to be congratulated upon securing
the services of one SO thoroughly equipped.
Tho HERALD extends its congratulations to
the present secretary of the Republican State
Committee.

How do the restrictive clauses Of the State
Constitution trip up the heels of the careless
legislator and conserve the peace and order
of society (! The decision of Judge Hemphill,
pulling the string out of the tail Of the Pure
Food law, is not based upon any denial Of
legislative authority to deal with food adul-
t]erators as they deserve, but upon the fact
that the statue was defective in its title. The
law was so drawn as to punish persons guilty
of selling adulterated foods without reference
to whether they had or had not guilty know
ledge Of the spurious character of the goods.
1t allowed the makers of such food to escape
but not the vendors. The design Of the law
was good but its construction was so faulty
as to make it a matter Of qualification that
the author Of the bill, the legislators who
passed it and the Executive who approved il
did not discover tho technical blunders Of
their lawmakers. The people pay very dearly
for the plumbers of their lawmakers, but il
sometimes happens, as in this instance, that
a blunder turns out to be a benefit.

One thing is certain 1t will not do to
fool with a bad cold. No one can tell what
the end will be. Pneumonia, catarrh, chronic
bronchitis, if not consumption, invariably
result from a neglected cold. It is surprising
too, that bad colds arc so often neglected
when one remembers how easily and at what
little expense they may be cured. Cham
b]erlain's Cough Remedy is always prompt
and efectual, and costs but a trife; rs or so
cents is a trihe as compared with the disas-
trous effects of a neglected cold, Mr.. Abner
Mercer, of Dilworthtown, Chester County,
Pa, in speaking of this remedy, said Some

THE Health Board of New York city has
decided that consumption is an infectious
disease and hereafter will treat it Sin the
same way that the milder contagious diseases
are treated. This means the physicians
must report to the sanitary bureau all cases
coming under their observation. 1t has taken
the medical fraternity a long time to make
up its mind that the disease which destroys
moIo human lives than any other is infectious
and not hereditary. Having arrived at this
point perhaps medical science may now be
expected to find a cure for this scourge Of
humanity.
