There is no kiss that gives more
Intoxicating thrill than that given by
brilliant clear October.

Until he and his fellow defendants
have had an opportunity to reply to the
charge against them and to refute the
evidence offered by the prosecution.
those who want to be fair will avoid
jumping at the conclusion that the pre-
liminary testimony Is unanswerable.-
Altoona Evening Gazette.
The animus of the whole proceeding
is clearly political in it's nature. Upon
it's face it is an attempt to make polit-
ical capital by the enemies of the Re-
publican party, in the hope of injuring
the political fortunes of Senator Quay
and bringing about the defeat of the
Republican ticket. 1t will accomplish
neither Of these results.-Titusville Her
aid.
Senator Quay's enemies are proving
their desperation by resOrting to his ar
rest on a trumped up charge of con-
spiracy. No man of sound sense be-
lieves the allegation. 1t is a political
move on the part of the senator's enc
mics, and is a part of the conspiracy
entered into to bring about his political
downfall, but it is too thinly yelled to
be effective.-Shamokin Herald.
To hound parties in such a manner
merely from the TACT that they are as
tinguished in public affairs and at the
head of a great faction of a political
party is deplorable and unwise and
fails of it's object. Even the senti-
ment of the anti-Quayites would not
be in sympathy of such a movement
even though some of their leaders were
pushing the suits.-Ephrata News.
This year the honest people Of the
state are fully alive to the situation.
They will vote for William A. Stone,
who has been abused and vilified with
out stint by the men who pose as hon
est men, and whose records are not
without stain. Republicans, take no
stock in these Lam holier-than-t thou
people They are not sincere.-Harris-
burg Telegraph.
The arrest of Senator Quay, his son
Richard Quay and eX-State Treasurer
BENJAMIN Haywood on charge of con-
spiring with John S. Hopkins deceased,
late cashier of the now defunct Peo-
pIe's bank, of Philadelphia, to use pub
lie money of Pennsylvania, looks to
most people like a bungling piece of
political work that will prove BOOM
erang to the people who planned it,

SPENDS HIS LIFE I'm PRISON.
The Unusual Method Of Securing Ma
terial for a Book Adopted by
Russian Author.

Count Rocco Dianovitch has made
the getting into prison the chief bust
ness Of his life for "a of the ~ years
he has lived for the purpose of gather
ing Information for a book he is
anxious TO write on the subject. AT
- he left his home and went into Prus.
STA, where he was arrested for tres
passing. and sent to prison for three
months, working at chair making
from that time to this he has never
been free from the desire TO continue
his prison explorations, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch.
From l3 till he was 20 he was in and
out OF more than 20 prisons in Bel
GUM. Prussia. Poland and Russia. His
first experience of Jail life in Eng
land was in Liverpool. which was one
OF the worst he was ever in, filed
with drunken sailors from all over TIE
world. lie stayed there six days. when
lie paid his fine and got out. the first
time he failed TO serve his sentence
Then he went to Ireland. France
Spain. Italy, Greece and Turkey, then
to Egypt. where the jails are the
worst in the world except Australia;
next to India and Japan. and then tc
America. where he remained for more
than a year. spending most Of his
time in jails and penitentiaries.

QUEER THINGS TO PUMP.

and the End OF n Toll Shaft

There are sometimes brought up by
centrifugal pumps-which are used for
dredging, for pumping up coal from
sunken vessels, and for various other
urposes-tmngs that seem strange to
be handled even by such pumps as
these, designed to pump coal, and so
on. An eight+inch centrifugal pump
used by n wreckipg company of this
city to pump. coal with has brought UP
a piece Of pig iron weighing SO pounds.
A pump with 2Sinch suction used

YELLOW FEVER.
The oIoS1O1s Opportunity to DOstrOy
It Now ,BeiRG Opened to
AReF1c0AA.

The expected has happened, and yell
low fever has attacked our troops at
Santiago. The first reports that were
permitted to reach the public were
dated July IL, on which day there were
IA new cases. Within three or four
days after that the total number of
cases to date was admitted to have
been upward of 300, so that it is certain
that the disease has been among the
troops for some. time, probably having
attacked them almost Immediately
after the landing vas made. ....
The policy of concealment was
wholly justifiable at that time, for
confession of the truth would have
served no purpose in protecting the
home ports, and would simply have en-
couraged the Spaniards to delay sur
render, and would have caused unavail-
ing anxiety and encouragement al
home. 49,.
All the accounts of the epidemic
agree that the disease is in an unusual
~ mild form; by far the greater num-
Der of those attacked recovering after
the normal period of not very great
suffering. Among the sufferers were
very many of the Red Cross surgeons
and nurses, all of whom, so far as is
known, have entirely recovered or are
convalesccnt. Many immune surgeons
and nurses are on the way now to San
tiago, and will be assigned to the fever
hospitals Immediately upon their ar
rival.
Now that there is no human enemy
in our way, our sanitary officers in the
conquered province have an excellent
opportunity to give to the world an
object lesson in cleanliness. And we
are perfectly confident that, with the
filth Of Santiago destroyed the houses
cleaned and disinfected, the infected
huts burned, and our camps removed
to the hills as far as that may be pos
sible. Gen. Vomito Negro will follow
the lead of Gen. Toral and WELD to the
inevitable.
We have always believed that the
chief reward to our country for I'M
dertaking this modern crusade against
the Saracen, and one that will fully
compensate us for expenditure of
blood and money, will be the liberia
ton of our southern states from the
constant menace of yellow fever. We
are fighting not only for the freedom
ofCuba from Spanish tyranny, but for
the freedom of America from Spanish
disease. The accomplishment of the
first object is almost realized, and that
of the second is plainly in sight. -.
It is not expected, however, that this
glorious victory can be won without
a struggle, and we therefore welcome
| the battle which is now on, fearful in
deed that the loss may be heavy, yet
with no misgiving as to the outcome OF
| the contest.-Medica Record.

ORCHARD WISDOM.

Watch q sod orchard. It will begin to
fail before you know it.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be APP
piled to fruit trees, particularly after
they come into bearing. ......
Good drainage, natural or artificial
is essential to success. Trees are i'm
patient of wet feet.
Good tillage increases the available
food supply of the soil and also con-
serves it's moisture. ,.
Only cultivated crops should be al
lowed in orchards early in the season.
Grain and hay should never be grown.
. Even home or cultivated crops may
rob the trees of moisture and fertility
If they are allowed to stand above the
tree roots.
Tillage should be begun just as soon;
as the ground is dry enough in the
spring, and should be repeated as often
as once in ten days throughout the
growing season, which extends from
spring until July or August. -. .
