The fire ruins at the rear of one of Louis

IN gathering wood, a number of school boys

Special to EVENING HERALD.
Pottsvilc oct. 5.-County Chairman w.
II. Xwei2ig, of the Prohibition party, to-day
received official notice from the state depart
ment at Harrisburg to the effect that the
nomination papers filed by that party for
candidates for Congress, Senate and Legisla-
turc were defective, and that tho names of
these candidates would not appear upon the
ballot. The nominee for Congress is S. G. NJ.
Holloreter, Of Shenandoah Senate, Thomas
V, Morgan, Gilberton First Legislative
district, John r. Lawson, Shenandoah ;
Fourth district, L. j. Skelley, Pottsvlle ;
Robert Keller, Schuylkill Haven Rev. N.
A. Barr, Cressona. In the Second and Third
districts no nominations we're made.
The department has ruled that each sep
crate paper containing signatures of citizens
must he sworn TO by at least five of the sub
scribers, and that one general affidavit made
to all the papers, attached together, is not
sufficient. 1t appears the papers filed by the
Prohibitionists did not comply with this
ruling of the department, and in that re-
spect they are defective and the names of the
Cdnuluhtos Will hOJ appear upon Uhe DalIOJ.
Yesterday was the last day for filing nom
inaton papers. An effort will be made to
remedy the mistake. The additional afiida-
Wits will be forwarded to State Chairman
Jones, and he will take the matter up with
the department
The action of the department has depress-
ing effect upon the Prohibition leaders, as
thnU N tipip ta1 1ar F,r bn;
didates, especially their nominee for Con-
gress. This ruling, however, does not effect
the remainder of their county ticket whose
nomination papers are filed with the Comfy
Commissioners.

SENATOR PENR0SE'S CHARGES.
Mr.. Wannmaker's Alleged Efforts TO
secure Senatorshlp.

EGCNfe u NtIhIOfsnlDs
Huntington, Pa, oct. 5.-United
States Senator Penrose and Colonel
w A. Stone, Republican candidate for
governor, We're the speakers at an en-
thusiastic county meeting here last
night. This was Senator Penrose's first
speech In the campaign. He devoted
most Of his attention to Mr.. Wanna
maker, saying In part:
During the selection Of the Repubi-
ran candidates for the legislature in
1896 Mr. Wanamaker was a candidate
for the United States senate, and made
overtures to influential gentlemen in
the Republican organization to obtain
their support. A representative of Mr..
Wanamaker went to Pittsburg, where
he sought out prominent Republicans
in the endeavor to interest them in
Wanamaker's behalf in the senatorial
campaign.
Sometime in the spring of 1896 l met
Mr.. Wanamaker's representative, with
whom l was previously acquainted, at
Pittsburg. l went with him to the resi-
dence Of Richard r. Quay, at Swick-
ley. A conference ensued In regard to
the political situation in Pennsylvania.
During that conversation Mr. Wanna
makers representative stated that
John Wanamaker wanted to be United
States senator, and he CWanamaker)
was willing to put up about $3.50, 900 If
Quay and his friends would make him
senator. The same gentleman said II
this was done Mr.. Wanamaker would
not interfere with the political patron
age of the state, but would agree that
Quay should control the senatorial APP
pointments, as all Wanamaker wanted
was the social advantages which the
senatorship would bring to him."
Mr.. Penrose proceeded to discuss al
legged attempts of Wanamaker agents
to bribe Legislators to vote for the ex-
postmaster general for senator.

ed of the first and most important instinct of leadership. I recall the feat of one ne- gro-a color sergeant of the Tenth cavalry, believe. In the charge on San Juan Hill he carried the guidon Of his troop, and was ordered by his captain to keep near him, holding the guidon aloft where 1t would be well in view. From that time on the captain and all the following troopers found 1t hard to keep up with their guidon, plunging ahead through the high spear grass, up the steep hill, straight for the pitiless Spanish fire from the hill tops When the old sergeant reached the crest of the hill, together with the first of the Rough Riders, he waved his tattered red and white guidon aloft as an encourage ment to his fellow-troopers, and he stood theTe with his little flag his figure clearly silhouetted on the ridge, until the inevita- ble happened, and he fell wounded twice. For this act of conspicuous gaantry this particular colored soldier was recommend ed by his superiors for an honorable men, tion. Had he been one of us, he would have been promoted to lieutenancy on the spot.

The Plaque in Vienna.

Vienna is a great city. A million and one-half people occupy tall buildings in marrow streets, and in this great popula- tion the bubonic plague has broken out, coming not in the usual way, but through the cultivation of the plague bacillus in a laboratory of some of the city's scientists.
 Very many have in one way and another been exposed to the disease, and it is feared that it will appear outside the bacteriologi- cal establishment, among the general popu- lation of the city. If it should, riots are feared. The anti-semetic papers are al- ready declaring that Jewish doctors brought the poison to the city, and in the present condition of public sentiment in that city, plague riots are possible.
 At present the plague does not take the form of boils as it does in India and the far east, but it comes in pneumonia form, accompanied 'by high fever and blood splitting. This form is none the less fatal. and none the less infectious.
 The plague first appeared In Europe in 544 when Constantinople was afflicted with it. The great plague of London occurred in 1865, and fin that century there were forty-fivc outbreaks of ''the black death in Europe. It is estimated that 25,0o0,000 peo- pie in Europe alone have died of the dis ease. The latest appearances of the dis ease in Europe were at Copenhagen in TIP, at Marseilles in 1720, at Moscow in 1771, at Malta in 1913, in Silesia in 1S19, and in Bull gravia, in the Russian army, in 1929.
 The period of incubation is short, gener- ally not more than two, three or four days. Hemorrhage into the lungs and from the hugs was frequent symptom of the dis ease in the middle ages. Its duration is from two to ten days, and eonvalescence is slow.

THE NEGRO IN WAR
From Golfers Weekly.


 What doubt there may have lurked con- cerning the qualities of the American negro as a fighting soldier had been swept away by the magnificent conduct of all the col ored troops, infantry and cavalry, when led into fire by their white officers The oual- ity of the leadership may be inferred from the heavy proportion of losses among the officers. The gallant Twenty-fourth alone lost 40 per cent. of its officers in the charge on Fl Clancy. The losses among the men were almost equally heavy. This was the same regiment which afterward furnished eighty volunteer nurses for the yellow fever hospital at Siboney, and when fifty-five of these had been stricken down, replaced them by fffty-five more.
 How these same troops would have be- hay6d without the inspiration of their white leaders must remain an open ques- tion.- As an experiment, I fancy it would scarcely be worth trying.
 Those who insist that the fights of those days were soldiers battles, meaning battles in which strategy and leadership counted for little, must give the oolorsd soldiers their due in the achievement of victory. One of the Englishmen serving with us, I recollect, who had watched the conduct of our black troops with professional curios- ity, reached the conclusion that they were just as good as some of the best native regiments in India, and commented on the fact that these troops invariably do better when led, in part at least, by officers of thsfr own color and blood.
 Our oolored soldiery certainly contained saAEy men who showed themselves possess

wHn MEMPHIS CONVENTION

From the mODi1e lIeul.
 We understand the purpose of the call CTS of the Memphis convention to be to do something to transfer the control of quarantine from the state to the federal au- thorites. If this be the purpose, we are heartily in favor of the convention. Moth ing short of this Is worthy of consideration. It is the only remedy for the evils of the system in force, evils which are intoler- able Even extreme states rights defend- CTS have reached this conclusion. The man with the shotgun is not respecter of state rights, interstate rights or per- sonal rights. He is the whole thing and is pot to be controlled by the powers here- tofore pitted against him. The strong arm of Uncle Sam Is needed to subdue him. One state, while asserting its own rights, disregards the rights of other states. One town, to quiet a foolish panic or gain an advantage in traffic, lays an embargo on another town. Each state has rights" each subdivision of each state has rights the right" to disregard the teachings of Christianity and the right to disregard tho right of others The fact that the author ties of the several states cannot act in harmony under these 'rlghts'' was demon- strated long ago. Agreement between the authorities of the several states is no guar anty of uniform and fair dealing, because no agreement can be enforced. There was an agreement last year. and yet lthe papers of Texas and Louisiana are hlled with charges and counter charges of bad faith. Now let Uncle Sam take hold.
