Of sensational rumors have been afloat.

that the Wnnamaker people were getting

and preparing interviews with Legislators
friendly TO their cause. The Penrose peo
pie have decided TO hold the caucus next
Tuesday evening the day on which the
legislature organizes The day has not
yet been officially announced. The Wan
maker people are opposed to holding the
meeting until near the election, which
does not take place till Jan. 10. Senator
Quay claims the Penrose people will have
l5O votes in the caucus and that the young
senator will win on the first ballot.
Ward r. Bliss, of Delaware, reached
Harrisburg last evening, and announced
that he would vote for Congressman John
b. Robinson, of Delaware, for senator.
Bliss has decided not to go before the
caucus as a candidate for speaker This
assures the unanimous election of Henry

Although accustomed to sudden deaths,
seldom have the people Of this community
been as greatly shocked as they were when it
was announced on Thursday afternoon that
Miss Jennie Thomas had passed away of
heart failure during an illness of but two
days, which otherwise would probably not
have proven very serious. The deceased
was born in Satington, Pa, July Goth, 1886.
Most Of her life was spent within the bounds
of Schuylkill county, throughout the whole
of which she was well known While at
times she was great sufferer, yet she always
seemed possessed of a quiet peace and joy.
In the community she will be missed not
only as a beautiful example of christian
charasteri but also as one of its most helpful
members, 1t mattered little where want or
suffering were found she sought to alleviate
it, even though a comparative stranger to
those in need. For almost twenty years she
has been a consistent member of the Presby-
terian church of this town, during the most
of which time she was a teacher in the in
tant department and treasurer of the Sab
bath school. She was also member of the
choir and the regular organist at the mid
week prayer meeting. Here the place made
vacant by her death will be noticed for many
years. But the greatest void will be felt in
the quiet Of her own home where in spite of
her great suffering she was always joyful,
hopeful and helpful. From her quiet chris
tian home life there went forth an influence
akin to the sweet perfume of a crushed rose

"Mysterious'' Billy Smith is keeping
in trim SO as to be in readiness in the
event of receiving match with Tommy
West, whom he expects to meet shortly.
Billy is also figuring on going to San
Francisco in few weeks to fight George
Green.
Tom O'Rourke, the widely known pro-
moter of fights and manager Of fighters,
arrived in New York from San Francisco
on Saturday. He was accompanied by
Joe Walcott and George Dixon and he
will probably arrange bouts for them to
take place before some of the local sport
ing club.
Paddy Purtel, the Kansas City weltet-
weight, whom everybody was defeating
in this country last year, and who is
now in England, where he has been
sweeping all comers before him, has been
matched to box Arthur Askcrs, OF Leices-
ter, England, for a s., 800 side bet and
purse offered by the Olympic Athletic
Club, of Birmingham.
The idea of bringing off the Mccoy
Creedon bout in Canada has been aban-
doned, the managers realizing that the
obstacles were too great 1t has now
been definitely decided to put the men
in the ring at the Eureka Athletic Club,
in Long Island City. The day OF the
contest, December l3, remains unchang-
ed. Creedon is actively at work training
in Chicago and Mccoy is now at New
Dorp, Staten Island, fitting himself for
the contest.

MISCELLANEOUS,

Captain Goodrich, of the Harvard
crew, has received word from Yale that
the course at New London has been
chosen for next Junc's races with Har-
ward. Last year, when Harvard and
Yale made their fve-year agreement,
Yale had to row at Poughkeepsie, ON
account of Harvard's programme with
Cornell. 1t was agreed, however, that
this year in the race with Harvard, Yale
should haye the choice between New
London and Poughkeepsie.
So successful has been Dartmouth Col
lege in athletics this year that there is a
strong sentiment in favor Of seeking an
athletic alliance with Brown and Cor
nell. The Dartmouth boys find no glory
in beating Amherst and Williams, and
these colleges themselves are not avcrse
to breaking off their triangular league
with Dartmouth. Brown is said to be
ready for such an alliance. Corncll, on
account OF its distance from Brown and
Dartmouth, might hesitate.

MILFORD, Pa, Nov. 2S.-There is some
txcitement in the vicinity If BossarolS-
vile, down the valley, over Il strange
animal which has made its appearance.
Those who have seen it describe ii as a
Cross between II tiger and a panther,
probably a leopard.
1t is thought that it has escaped from
some circus. The animals tracks are
entirely out Of tn" run Of iour-Eooted
beasts seen in this section. Dogs howl
fcrcc!y at it, but the beast is not fright
rned.
1t makes its appearance at night only,
coming apparently from some mountain
lair and goes from house to house, SEEM
ing to scent places where bntchoring has
taken place. Its cries are wirrd and
thrilling.
4 gang OF men has been watching for
it every night, but it always appears At
some other place near by.
