Thanks.

We, in behalf of the Rector and con-
CATION of Emmanuel church, desire to
express our thanks to all those who
took part in the entertainment given
at the opera house, last Thursday
evening, and we especially desire to
express our obligations to those who
are not in any way connected with our
church for the willing aid and assist
ance, which tended largely to make
the evenings programme such sue
cess. We also wish to thank Mr..
Pelkey for his generous patronage.

Cooper on Ballot Reform.
From the Media American"

IiOih lHc htNld
From every section of the State come
stories of the wrongs against voters
and candidates by the blanket ballot
law. 1t has become a menace and a
nuisance. In this county over 1000
voters showed their fear of it in various
ways, and refused to vote for all offices
for fear of vitiating the ballot. 1t can
not be understood, even by lawyers,
except after long and careful study,
and it has confused the courts and led
to a variety of decisions, some of them
contradictory.
Under the genuine Australian sys-
TEN there would be but a single column
and the names of the candidates for
the same office would be collected
under the title of that office. Any
candidate, by simply filing nomination
papers, would have place in that bal
lot, and to place his name there would
require but n single line, not an entire
column. There would be no use for
courts and no opportunities for tech
nical decisions antagonistic to the
spirit of the Constitution and of the
law. The booth is all right, for it
preserves secrecy, but no man should
be permitted to aid another in marking
his ticket unless the voter is blind
Inability to read is the mans own fault
Now the aid called in is as rule to
cb thot tho xyntnr tho
which he gets for his vote. A simple
ballot will not discourage honest men,
and will check the work of dishonest
ones. Let all the press of the State
unite in demand for simplification
of the ballot.

"Score One for Aunty."

A good story is related at the ex-
pense of "Bob'' Ingersol. The colonel
was recently talking with an old color
ed woman in Washington concerning
religious matters 'Do you really be-
lieve, aunty," said he, "that people
are made of dust ?" eyes sah de

Five Snow Storms.

A well known farmer of Dauphin
county has established a weather
bureau and predicts severe winter,
basing his views upon the manner in
which the muskrats are building their
nests. Professor De Voc, who fore
casts weather by natural instinct and
the saw in his slab mill, has scheduled
twenty-one cold days for December, in
Guiding five snow storms and one day
of zero weather, the 24th.

Woes of the Non-Advertiser.

The none-advertising merchant
goeth forth to his lair at the raising
of the sun and 10, no man interfeareth;
he standeth around all day like bot
tie of castor oil, and the people with
the sheckels come out to his shanty.
He advertiseth not his wares, and his
name is forgotten on the face of the
earth. Who hath stale baking powder
without end? He that knoweth not
the way to the printing office.

AmuSen1entS.

The novelty of a lot of acrobats
chased by detective, going one after
another head first through a second
story window, is certainly a very
laughable concert. The Brothers
Roger, who will appear at the Opera
House, Emporium, Dec. 12., in Next
Door, were doubtless aware of this
feature as fun maker when they en-
bodied it in their curious spectacular
production of that name. The skit is
full of features including the trick bath
house, the mysterious trunk, the
haunted house, the funny mule and
the trick wall action, as everybody
knows the brothers are great acrobats
and as supple as eels. There is a good
variety of songs and dances, pretty
music and pretty girls. The support
ing company is one of the very best.
Admission, 35 cts; reserved seats,

A Burning Shame.

The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press, in his letter
upon the opening Of Congress, said:
"Sincere regret was everywhere ex-
pressed by Pennsylvanians and by
members from every state in the Union
that so able and useful member as
Charles w. Stone should have been
made the victim of Northwestern
Pennsylvania politics. 1t is generally
agreed that with two or three excep-
tions any other member of the State
delegation could have been better
spared. Mr.. Stone takes his defeat
philosophically, and could not but feel
gratified to-day with the kind express
sions of his fellow Congressman
While you are looking around to see
what you can find for suitable present
for husband or son, you will miss it if
you fail to call at N. Seger's. He has
many handsome articles in addition to
