II is fortunate. not only for the Re-
publican party OF Pennsylvania, but for
the state itself. that so courageous a man
as Governor Hastings occupies the chief
executives office. He has been swing
Ing his veto axe with splendid effect, and
has not only saved to the state treasury
many thousands OF dollars which were
appropriated by recltlessly cxtrava-
CANT and profllgate legislature, but has
killed number of very unjust bills. The
most important piece Of legislation Of the
latter class was the mercantile tax bill,
which would have proved SO great
hardship to the mercantile interests Of
the state, and the passage OF which
raised a storm of Indignation among the
business men,
In applying his veto power, In all cases
the governor has shown fearless indie
pendence of the political schemers and
bosses that has been positively refresh
Ing. He is being commended on all
sides, outside of certain circle of poll
tlcians, and is popularlzing himself daily
among the people. The mercantile tax
bill, the only excuse for which was a
need of revenue. was proposition to
place a tax on commerce and industry
tribute levied to meet the extravaganza
OF the legislatures, and in standing he
tween these great interests and the effort
to raid the treasury Governor Hastings
has displayed manly courage which
has attracted the attention Of the whole
country. The record he is making for
himself may lead TO great hoheFs from
the hands of an appreciatIve people.
Keep your eye on Hastings.

NANCY NEWKIRkE'S DIMPLE.

Nancy Newkirke the young society
girl whose debut last week in Philadel-
phia was made under such advan-
tageous circumstances-sh received
nine bouquets, one basket and a wreath
from her erstwhile social companions
has a dimple on her right cheek for
which nature disavows responsibility
for when dainty Miss Newkirke first
opened her wondering eyes on this
wicked world, just q years ago, there
asn't a vestige of a dimple on either
cheek. That was her debut on the
worlds big stage and dimples weren't
needed at that time But winter before
last Miss NeWkirke went out sieighing
with party OF ten young folks, chap
eIoned, Of course as was the proper
thing In the West Park, Philadel
phia, the horses took alright, the
sleigh upset aud ten young people were
precipitately and unceremoniOusly
dumped eaIThWard Everybody was
on his or her feet in a few minutes
all except Miss Newkirke. A twenty
minute search, and at the bottom of
the embankment, unconscious on the
ice of the river, Miss NewkiIke was
found She had rolled down the EN-
bankment, her face was covered with
blood that had CONCEALED, and she lay
in a heap, one mass of bruises In an
hour Miss Newkirke was brought home
and doctors summoned. A twig had
frozen against her right cheek, little
knot of the twig having dug into a lit
tie point in place where dimples are
usually worn. For six weeks Miss
Newkirke lay in bed suffering from
bruises and shock, and when she go
up again she mad a full-fedged dimpe.
1t seems that the tWig had dug into
Miss Newkrke's cheek as she rolled
down hill, and had severed a small
muscle in the right cheek. The result
was drawing together Of the flesh at
that point, and an artificial dimple that
even a colnOisseur could not tell from
the real, natural article was the out
come. But there are not many girls
v ho would care to undergo the same
experience as did Nancy Newkirke just
to have a naughty little dimple in her

a GreekD, and as he made his way
through the Stadion the crowd went
mad for joy. The stalwart crown
prince, the president OF the games,
and the still more stalwart Prince
George, the referee, led, or rather al
most carried, this victor before the
royal seat in the Sphendone, and the
usually quiet king himself had mean
while nearly ripped off the visor Of his
naval uniform cap in waving it wildly
in the air. Pity it would have been
had foreigner won this race! None
felt this more keenly than the foreign
athletes themselves. All who were
present will remember the commotion
of the crowd in the Stadion in that mo-
ment of victory as one of the greatest
scenes of their lives. In the gentle
light of the sun of Attica as it in
cines toward the horizon, a light not
known elsewhere in the world, the
magnificent gift of Averoff, the new
Stadion-and yet the old-receives its
real dedication. Athletics were
crowned in it as never before in mod
ern times. Here was inspiration for a
painter.
The one coveted honor Of the games
was fairly won by the Greeks, and held
almost beyond the reach of envy.
Shortly after the winners arrival came
two other Greeks, and then Hungar-
ian. The next five in order were also
Greeks. 1t was a Greek victory with
a vengeance.
The winner who accomplished the
run in the remarkably short time of
two hours fifty-eight minutes and fifty
seconds, is Spyridion Loues, a well-to-
do farmer, twenty -four years old, from
Marousi, a village on the road from
Athens to kephissia, and near to the
latter place He was one OF the latest
entries for the race. Just before going
out to Marathon on Friday he is said
to have taken the sacrament from the
priest of his native village, saying that
he wished to invoke the air of heaven
in his great truggle.-From The New

BRANDED IN A LODGE ROOM
Orangemen Fined for Cruelty in Their
Ceremc les of Initiation.

One of the StrangeSt cases ever tried
in the district court came up this
morning before Judge Enos F. Luce
when an alleged expose was made I'M
der oath upon the witness stand OF the
rites and orGcal5 through which can
ddate must pass to become a full
iledged Orangemar. Six members of
the Orange lodge here were arrested
for assault on Frank A. Prcble during
initiation They were John G. Graham,
G. O. Nickerson, Edward ONeil,
Daniel Tracey, Leander Weatherbec,
and Wilfred Mabie
Preble was the first witness. 1t was
on the evening of July %, 1896, that
he received his initiatory degree He
sw0re that his troubles began the min
ute that he passed the mystic por-
tails" He was compelled to discard
all raiment except his underwear. One
arm was stripped of it's sleeve. He was
made TO wear pair of overalls, winch
were rolled above his knees. Then he
was blindfolded and led into the larger
lodge room by Daniel Tracey and
William Mabie, who acted as conduc-
tors.
There he was compelled TO halt and
get down upon his knees and repeat
the Lords prayer. Then he had to

was struck severely with whips, and
finally posed upon what seemed to him
a stepladder An oh''--'on was i'm
posed, after which the ladder was sud-
IDENTIFY pulled from under him and he
was pitched into a canvas blanket, in
which he was bounced around for a
while. Then he was placed on his
knees again, and several people he
says. literally gave it to him in the
neck" Some more marching followed
and he was made to carry what felt
like a bag o. rocks.
Finally Mabie told him 10 raise his
hand and try 20 find the serpent"
Brother Graham then cried. you did
not find it, but it found you" and then,
he says, a branding iron was applied
twice TO his breast After thai ne was
seated and the rest was easy. He
talked with Mr. Nicholson, another
member, the mex night, and both
agreed that he had been cruelty treat
