The annual congresses of the society

the first serious attempt to recover the
history of their people from the mass
of American history, where it lies
embedded with that of the English
colonists, and to place it on a separate
footing like that of the Puritans, the
Rugenots and the Germans. The
Scotch-lrish elements are distinctly
Presbyterian in their origin, though
they have in these latter days differ
entiated into other sects. They, how
ever, remain steadfast to protestant
traditions.

Oats appear to be a very good crop.
The straw is very short-so short in
some instances that great difficulty is
experienced in reaping-but the stand
IS thick and the heads we'll filled. The
quality o. the crop has been undoubt-
edly injured to some extent by the rust,
which made its appearance during
latter part OF the month, but the dam
age is not believed to have been seri-
Gus.
Pastures have furnished abundant
feed for cattle, which are in excellent
condition. Small fruits of all kinds are
abundant. Apples of a good market
able quality are scarce. The crop is
rather short and the quality poor.
Potatoes are only fair crop in most
counties. The potato bugs have been
very troublesome and lately a kind OF
blight has appeared, which has in
jured the quality of the crop to a con-
/ siderable degree. Tobacco is reported
to be in excellent condition and the
outlook for a good crop is very prom

done to the crop in Vernon county by
hail, but no serious damage ms oc-

Reading, Pa, Aug. 31.-By d vote
of 81 to 20 the state democratic CON-
mittee last night adopted a resolution
declaring vacant the seat of William
F. Harrity, the Philadelphia member
or the democratic national committee.
The committee met in the rooms of
the Americas club, by direction of
the executive committee, to consider
the question of vacancy in the ma
tIOnal committee. The proceedings
we're exciting from start to finish and
one of the state policemen was called
On to eject Timothy O'Leary of Pitts
burg for interrupting the speaker.
State Chairman Garman presided ex-
Cept for a short time when he surren-
dered the chair to w. r. Brainton
of Lancaster to speak upon the reso-
buttons. Immediately after the meet
ing was called to order, John B.
Keene of West Moreland offered a res
olution, that vacancy had been ere
ated and now exists in the member
ship Of the national committee by rea-
son of the voluntary withdrawal from
politics and from participation in the
deliberations of the committee of the
late incumbent, William F. Harrity,
and that Harrity, not being in accord
with the principles of the democratic
party, James M. Guffey of Pittsburg,
who so Loyalty supported William J.
Bryan, be and is hereby selected to
fill the vacancy" A warm debate fol-
lowed and then Chairman Garman, at
the request Of Charles ?. Donnelly,
read the correspondence between him
self and Harrity. Garman followed
with a long argument in favor of the
resolution. More heated argument fol-
lowed and one of the members sug-
gested the reference of the question to
Bryan. A vote then followed with the
result stated. The action of the state
committee will undoubtedly result in
an exciting time in todays conven-

NOT A PRETTY POLL.

Elizabeth, N. j., Aug. "a parrot
owned by DR.. W. G. Rosenthal, of SIS
North Broad street, fashionable part
OF this city, has become a subject Of
investigation by the board of health.
Roosevelt S. Sanford, a prominent
commercial and club man, has COM
planned of the parrot being nuisance
and says that the bird ridicules him
Dy screeching at the top of it's voice
''Ah, there, Rosie! Stay there every
time he goes out or enters his house,
which adjoins Rosenthal's residence
1t is said that the bird has been
taught to call out in this manner by
it's owner. Mr.. Sanford, who is cashier
of the Farmers Loan and Trust COM
pany, asserts that if the board of
health does not kill the bird or cause
it's removal he will commence legal
proceedings against his owner.

THURSTON'S INTENTIONS.
Nebraska Senator to Practice Law in
New York City.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 31.-The an
rCuncement of Senator John M.
Thurston in the republican state con-
vention that at the end of his sena-
tCrial term he would not be a candi-
Gate for reelection is the political
sensation of the hour in Nebraska. He
stated plainly that he was financially
unable to maintain home both at
Washington and Nebraska and that
political pursuits had not the same
charm for him as the practice of his
profession.
1t is matter of common knowledge
that Senator Thurston has suffered
financial reverses since his election and
that the lucrative law practice he had
has dwindled to nearly nothing. Sen
ator Thurston's speech left the impress
sion that he would return to Omaha
when his term ended, but 1t is we'll
known that he will remove to New
York, where an opening is to be made
for him in a prominent law firm, with
an assured income of not far from
Sz5,0 600 year.

held at Harrisburg, Pa, and was the
eighth in the history Of the society.
: The Scotch-Irish, as they are Known
in America from their Scotch descent
and their residence in the north of
Ireland, represent the colonial move
ment of the eighteenth century as the
English did that of the seventeenth
century. Early ScotchIrish immigra-
tioI to New England was attempted
in 1886, but a general migration was
not successful till about 1909 and
then it took a southern direction.
Though many eventually settled in
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire
and Vermont, the main streams poured
into the middle and southern states,
through the ports of Philadelphia, New
Castle and Charleston Patrick
Henry was of this descent. A large
proportion of the signers of the declar
alton of independence and five of the
governors of the newly created states
were Scotch-Irishmen. To the army
and navy they have given Andrew
Jackson, Zachary Taylor, Sam Hous-
ton. George Rogers Clark, Andrew
Dickens, StonewaH Jackson, Commo-
iore Perry and Matthew c.. Perry, to
craftsmanship, Clay and Calhoun; to

POLITICS IN SCHOOL.
Missouri Professor of Political Econ
onmy May Lose His Job.

Columbia, Mo-, Aug. 2S.-There
may be a vacancy in the department
Of political economy OF the Missouri
state university if the investigation of
the head professor in that department
results adversely to him. Dr. Frederick
Charles Hicks, formerly professor in
the University of Michigan, but since
1892 a member of the Missouri univer-
sity faculty, is charged by ultra free
silver men with teaching erroneous
doctrines to his students. The accusa-
tons against Dr. Hicks are threefold.
1t is alleged, in the first instance, that
he is at heart a protective tariff advo-
cate and has taught this doctrine to
bis students. In the second place it is
charged that he is a believer in the
gold standard and has used his posi-
ton to indoctrinate his classes with
opposition to free silver. Lastly ne is
said to be a Hamiltonian and to decry
the Jeffersonian theory of republican
government at every opportunity.

yUNOER TWO MINUTES
STAR POINTER BEATS RECORD
WITH LITTLE EFFORT.
HORSE WORLD GOES WILD
Great PAGER Makes a Mile in 1:59A-
A Great Race Day For Readville-
McClary Uses Words Instead OF
Whip to Encourage the Famous
Stallion.

Readville, Mass, Aug. 29.-The cir
urday in a blaze of glory for Star
Pointer gave this race track the
worlds record and wrought the large
crowd Of spectators to an intense pitch
of excitement. The track was in eX-
cellent condition and the famous
PAGER, with hardly an effort, paced an
exhibition mile in l:59A. This won
derful performance was witnessed by
5000 people. 1t was most wonderful
Joe Patchen tried with Geers, last Oc-
tober, and failed by ~ seconds. The
day was perfect for the record break
ing. Not a breath of air was stirring
Y hen the horse came out with a run
ming horse to make the trial for the
worlds record. The first two scores
were not satisfactory, but the third
tine there was no hesitancy. Nc
Clary nodded for the word and off the
PAGER went. The first quarter was in
80 seconds, and then, as McClary called
on the PAGER to move to the second
quarter, there was a great cheer Cor
he was beating minutes all to pieces,
and got to half in 59%, with the Sec
ond quarter in 29% seconds. The third
quarter was the fastest of the mile
The distance wos covered in 29A Sec
onds, a 1857 gait. Around the turn
Pointer seemed to waver the smallest
fraction of a second, but McClary had
him right almost before one could see
it, and then he straighte-ed into the
stretch, runner moving up even closer.
Both PAGER and runner were asked to
step along. Mccarthy laid whip on
the runner, but McClary spoke only a
word of encouragement to his horse.
At the draw-gate Star Pointer was
reefed a little, but coming stronger
from the distance the great pacing
stallion appeared to freshen in the
last few strides and finished like lion
in the record breaking time of /: 59 Il
A mighty shout went up. Hardly had
McClary got the horse to a stand-still
before the crowd had him on their
shoulders and he was borne down the
stretch to the judges stand and there
he was introduced to the throng. A
fairer mile was never timed; not a
watch in the stand but what agreed
with the time announced, willie on
the other side of the stretch the
watches in the grand stand caught it
even faster. Since 1894, when Rob-
ert paced mile in 2:011a, the horse
world has been looking for the z
minute mark to be reached. Billy
Andrews, with Gentry, got a chance
at the mark at Rigby track, at Port
land, but on Pointers day rain inter-
feled. Gentry came very near it and
took the crown which Saturday was
wrested from him. Time by quar-
tiers: 80; 59A; 1.29; 1:59A.
