MIR. Qnay is just now turning his atten-
ton tc the patronage OF Cumberland coun-
ty, his State, which, at present, is con-
troiled by Democratic Congressman.
He is said toihave already secured a protu-
Use to have an inoffensive Republican par
tisan substituted, for an offensive parti-
SAN Democrat for the postoffice at Ship
pensburg, the best place in the county.
Mr. Quay has always been quoted as In
favor OF a clean sweep. 1t is strange that,
with the President talking the other way,
it is so easy % fire Democrats when occa-
sion and politics require it.

Whatever can be made out OF the tariff
in the South is being largely worked and
to advantage by Alabama ana Georgia
Congressman. One of them was at the
Navy Department the other day to urge
the American Government to assist
in breaking up the armor plate
trust by giving the South chance
to fill contracts which the Car
negie Company persistently refuses to fill
except on It's own terms. Mr. Roosevelt
is reported to have said, although not som

would be IN time supplanted by the South

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The quiet MI Penrose of Penns ylvania,
can, on occasion, exhibit a rare degree OF
activity and energy. He made himself
famous at tie extra session by protesting
against the sinecure job OF announcing
his pair on the frequent tariff votes.
No sooner, however, had Mr.. Mckinley
come hack to Washington than Mr.. Penrose
ran over and shook the plum tree with
good effect. He secured two appointments
on Saturday, which win proba bly, be an.
noupced today John T. Shaw consul to
Baranqula and A. j. Seyfert as consul at
Stratford. NOBODY appears to know where
either place is, but it is plain that the en-
ergetic Mr.. Penrose found both of them
and the fact that they are worth s. 500
apiece in payment of back political debts.

DR.. Urquhart was at st. Elizabeth's Satur-
day. He said OF his observations. among
other things, last night:
Il find that New York is doing most eX-
ceilent work in her asyluIns for the in.
sane, andalso ner criminal institutions. The
reformatcry at ElIhira, the one the New
York World attacked few years ago. Is
certainly one OF the finest systems in the
world. The young criminals there are not
only kept in excellent bodily health by
careful attention, but they are taught
trades and taught To enjoy work so far as
that is possible. They are furnished posi-.
tions when they leave the place. If any
thing can reform the criminal this kind OF
treatment @in do It. DIR. Cowles of Wager-

MOODY'S SUCCESS.

Evidence OF Telling Work Revealed-Ser-

PnTsBURG, Dec. 6.-Evangelist Moody
stood on the rostrum in the lecture
room of the Young Mems Christian
association Sunday and thanked God
that he had been sent there. He had
been appealing to and instructing an
audience of some 400 young men, ana
his work had Immediately borne fruit
The famous preacher was moved
nightly. At the conclusion of his
little sermon he asked all those who
earnestly desired to lead a Chritian life
to say, ~ want my sins covered" A
solid silence filled the rooms. A second
request failed to break it.
Again he asked, aud from far cor
ner came the entering wedge. II want
my sins e.vered." A moment later
another spoke, and others fol owed,
until when Moody announced that he
would pray for those who thus asked
tor grace there were few who dld not
respond. 1t was the greatest triumph
Moodv's visit
More than 5000 people heard the ser
mons OF sunday in the old First Pres
byterian church. The crowd sweled
and swelled, and the overflow stood and
shivered on the stone steps at the en-

Hawaiian treaty with it. The first bill
ON the calendar is Senator Gears
measure for providing for the adjust
meEt of the Pacific railroad debt, but
the sale of the Union Pacific doubtless
will have the effect of causing the tenn
porary withdrawal of this bill and the
substitution of others. OF the 300 bills
on the calendar about 200 are private
pension bills, and all of these probably
will be disposed of at one sitting wien

Thomas drank two bottles Of laud-

and is in a precarious condition. The
attempt on her life was caused by
disappointed love, as is shown by a
letter she wrote to David Scott. In
thisxnote she forgives him for lifting
her, and her only request is that he
will attend her funeral and kiss her
at the grave. The girl claims she
and Scott were betrothed, and yester-

whether the match could not be con-
summated. She was turned away,
and Immediately planned her death
The girl came here from Dunbar

THE SENATE CONVENED.
Hawaiian TIE, 10 BE Taken Up Very
Early for Action.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Vice President
Hobart called the senate to order at
noon. \ committee was appointed to
notify the president. After the COM
mittee's return the presidents message
was rece ved and read.
1t remains for the senate to decide
whethe it shall engage seriously in
the work of the session or begin sys-
tenn of delay intended to throw all i'm
portant questions over beyond the
Christmas holidays. The indications
are now for little more activity than
usual during the pro-holidav session.
This is largely due to the fact that the
supporters of the administration and
advocates of annexation are very
anxious tc secure the earliest possible
consideration of the treaty with Ha-
wall.
Senator Davis, chairman of the COM
mittee ON foreign relations, announces
his purpose of pressing annexation at
the earliest possible moment, but 1t is
probable that the matter will not be
taken up seriously until the comm ittee
can have a meeting and decide upon
details of procedure. The committee
will be called together ON Wednesday
for this purpose. One point which the
committee will be called upon to decide
is whether to proceed to ratify the
treaty of annexation or to annex the isl.
ands by resolution. The annexationists
have lost some votes during the vaca-
ton, and there is now apprehension
that the two thirds vote necessary to
assure the ratification cannot be Sc
cured.
No satisfactory canvass is possible
until all the senators arrive, and it it is
then made manifest that the necessary
two thirds vote cannot be secured it is
likely that the proceeding by means of
resolution whlrh would require only
