Thompson Opposed to Swallow.
An Independent GubernatoriaI Movement to
be Started Soon.

A forerunner of opposition to DR..
Swallow as a candidate for Governor
on an independent or fusion ticket
next year is furnished in an interview
with William r. Thompson, who after
a canvass of 80 days polled $4,000
votes on an independent Republican
platform in his recent candidacy for
State Treasurer. Mr.. Thompson says
DR.. Swallow should not run for Gov.
ernor next year, and adds:
"The independent political forces
in the state will undoubtedly get to.
gether before the holidays and prepare
for an early launching Of their cam
paign. 1t is true that fusion seems
difficult and the reformers in the Re
publican ranks will not accept PattSon
or any Democrat who has the free sill
yer tant. Dearly as we Republicans
would welcome a straight business ad
ministration in Pennsylvania, we will
not buy it at cost of free silver
Governor. That leaves Pattison ou,
of it"

stamp-Collectin

The collecting of postage stamps,
and the preservation of the same as
curiosities, began Immediately after
the issue of the Mulready envelopes,
and the IS4o one-penny black and
two-pence blue adhesives. The first
published notice of such collecting is
said to have appeared in Punch in
I84I.
The first government to follow the
example of Great Britain was that OF
Brazil, which issued the large-hgure
stamps in 1S43. Other countries
slowly followed, until the growth Of
commerce, made possible by railroads
and ocean steamers, and the conse-
quent increased domestic and foreign
correspondence, caused most of the
other governments to introduce the
same system of prepayment by stamps
early in the SOS. AS the number OF
different stamps increased, more and
more persons became interested in
obtaining copies of the different varie
ties but probably the most efficient
agent in stimulating curiosity and
eventually collecting, was the appear,
ance of the triangular Cape of Good
Hope stamps in 1858. The shape
was so odd and the design so beauti,
full, that Judging by present prices
it would seem as If almost every copy
used was saved. No one who collected
stamps as curiosities was satisfied unit
he had one or more of these handsome
postal labels.
AS time went on, boys and girl:
became interested in stamps, and
rivalry began as to who could make
up collection of the greatest mum
Der of varieties. Many of the boys
could get a large number of the stamp:
of one or more foreign countries, ane
by trading these with one anothe
could increase their collections materi
ally. The usual basis for such trad
ing was stamp for stamp, and thu
many rare stamps went into the hand
of children who had no idea as to thei
future value. Unfortunately in those
early days of philately the custom wa'
to paste down the stamp on pages o
old blank books, and very few stamps
remained whole after one or two re
ovals.-Harpers Round Table.

Miss DE Kalb Surprised.
"Woman in Black" in Consultation With
Her Attorney.

With the arrest OF James A. Glenn
mer all the parties in the triple con-
spiracy are now at the mercy of the
law, and further statement may be
expected, from the lips of Miss De-
Kalb, since there is nothing to be
gained by her continued silence.
J. P. Hale jenkins, counsel for
Miss DeKalb, visited his client in her
prison cell Friday evening, with the
crushing intelligence of Clemmer's
arrest. What passed during the inter-
view Mr.. jenkins declines to divulge,
further than to say that she expressed
herself as greatly surprised. At his In
struction the prison warden refuses all
callers access to the woman in black.
Mr.. Jenkins evidently believes that
the turn affairs have taken means
trouble for his client, for he has de-
clared off trip to Florida that he
contemplated taking this week. On
his return Miss DeKalb was to have
had further hearing. Up to this
time her lips have been sealed and
she feigned surprise that the authori-
ties should make such diligent effort
to fasten on her a crime of which she
declares she is innocent.
District Attorney Strassburger fell
| citates himself on the outcome of his
incessant labors in trying to reach q
| solution of the mystery surrounding
the murder. He is sanguine of hi
ability to convict Clemmer and Lizzie
De Kalk and place them in the cate
CORY with Kaiser.

you must take internal remedies.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
and acts directly on the blood and

in this country for years, and is a

Here's Another One.

A confidence "crook" with very
plausible story has been operating in
towns in the northern part of the state.
He may come this way and it is best
to be prepared for him. If a man who
claims to be an agent of a patent hair
restorer and dandruff remover, calls
at your house with satchel and a
broad, bland smile, turn the dog on
him. If you haven't dog hit him
with a stove lid. His story of the
virtue of his "wonderful" hair restorer
is refreshing but the stuff isn't. 1t is
only water and weak acid, and Its
only virtue is that it acts as sort o
mild scalping knife.

shielded from time to time through
the winter. By leaving the stalks
whole until time for feeding, their
aroma is better preserved, and the
shredded fodder is then more palata-
table. We used shredded fodder
mixed with drIed brewers grains, and
steamed for the horses and colts which
are running out along with one feed
of hay a day. BY using shredded
fodder for cattle once a day, we saved
one feed of hay, and found that it did
not decrease the milk flow. The top
and bottom of stacks we cut for bed
ding, and it makes most excellent
material for that purpose"

Indian Packers at Dyea.

arrangements 1Or packing are mace
with Isaac, "Chief for the Chilkoots,"
as the sign reads above his cabin, but
outside men can be hired. The Indian
mems dress is picturesque. Some
wear the gayly colored Mackinaw
jacket Others blue denim garment,
half shirt, half coat others still a loose
coat of blanket, the sleeves or patch
across the back being made of the
striped ends, and as the blankets used
by these Indians are of the most
brilliantly assorted colors, the color
effects are distinctly striking. For
head-gear they wear little common
felt hats or bright wool toques or
colored kerchiet. All possess rubber
hip. boots, but when packing they
wear only moccasins outside Of "Si-
wash" or blanket socks, and some
times an oversock to the knee. Indian
fashion, dogs and children, men and
women, crowd into their dirty abodes,
which smell of spoiled fish. The dogs
are not so numerous as / expected,
nor yet SO quarrelsome and noisy.
The Indians train them not SO much
for sledge- drawing as for packing
small loads on their backs, and it is
not unusual 10 see an Indian with one
or two medium-szed dogs, with little
pack on each side, sagging nearly to
the ground, trotting along with his
luncheon. When an Indian is pack
ing he ties his single small blanket
upon his back under the pack. A
stout stick to balance with and to
assist in climbing completes his outfit.
Twenty or thirty Indians will take up
packs and put whole outfit over at
one lick. They are not trustworthy
and are wholly unscrupulous. They
do nothing even for each other with
out price, and have carefully noticed
that they make no distinction between
themselves and whites even for the
same service. If one engages them
at a certain price and some one offers
them more, they lay down their packs
and take up the new ones; or if on
the trail they hear of rise in the
scale, they stop and strike for the
higher wages. Some of them speak
good English. Indians from Sitka
say these fellows are wild Indians,
and look upon their ignorance OF
letters with some contempt. But il
ignorant OF letters, they are shrewd,
hard traders, who are making money
fast and saving it. They have strong
prediction for gold, but at the same
time, as our silver friends will be
pleased to know, silver is IN no less
favor with them. In fact, it seems tc
be hard money they want. | knew ar
Indian to declare solemnly he coule
not change fve-dollar bill, showing

is indeed serious one. There is moi
