1t is now in order for the partisan

EVIDENCE OF THE CONSPIRACY.

In our Geographic columns this
morning we published the indisputable
= evidence of a conspiracy on the part
of the State Republican bosses, with
Gov. Atkinson, Secretary of
State Dawson and Internal
Revenue Collector A. B. White
at their head to deprive the
people of this State of the fruits of
their we'll earned victory for good
government at the recent election.
This evidence is indisputable and
speaks for itself. 1t is in the shape of
kilograms from Messrs. Atkinson,
Dawson and A. B. White, to defeated
Republican candidate to permit con-
test in his name, although he was
plainly defeated by an undisputed ma
jority Party interests demand con-
test in your case" wired Gov. Atkin-
son to Captain A. N. Pritchard, of
Warrington, defeated for House of
Delegates by Major Ash, Democrat, by
80 votes. I'VE will pay all expenses, -
added the Governor. Wire Kendall
to proceed Immediately"
This is as plain case as was ever
brought to light in the annals of
crooked politics. Capt. Pritchard was
plainly defeated and admitted his de-
feat and was satisfied with the YER
dict, which he never questioned and
knew no reason for questioning. Yet
because his successful Democratic
opponents majority is comparative
ly small the INSCRIPTIONS State bosses
see an opportunity to steal the vic
tory from the people, and they pro-
propose to seize it,
There is another telegram of similar
purport from Secretary of State Daw-
son and Collector A. B. White-re-
spectively Chairman and Secretary of
the Republican State Committee.
The Republican State Executive Com
mittee request you to allow the use
Of your name in contest proceeding to
protect the interests of the Republican
party. All costs and expenses will be
paid by u.s." Thus spoke Chairman
Dawson and Secretary White. They
still had ample funds left from the
campaign and having failed to cor
rupt the election they are anxious
to turn these funds to post-election use
in overturning the will of the people
as plainly expressed at the polls. Ant
it is only because Captain Pritchard
is an honest man and declined to be-
come party to the nefarious work
that another Infamous farce of a con.
test, without the shadow of foun-
dation or right, has not been begun
in this instance.
This is sample of the trickery tha
has been practiced by the bosses, des
perate in defeat, ever since the clos.
ing of the polls, to reverse the will o.
the people. Luckily the Democrat,
majorities have as rule been too
large to be disposed of by the count
ingout method, else these efforts tt
steal the Legislature might have me
with better success.

THE ORGANS METHODS.

Readers of the Intelligencer, who con-
fine their reading to that sheet, have
not yet seen Mr.. Roosevelts singing
letter of rebuke to Mr. McKinley's
"Whitewash Board sent out by the
Associated Press last Saturday.
This document has created a sensa-
ton throughout the country. 1t fell
as a bomb among the fake investiga-
tors whose whitewashing methods Mr.
Roosevelt exposed, while he plainly
showed them their neglected duty to
the American people and the families
of the officially murdered volunteers.
But not line or word of this letter
or even reference to it has yet ap-
peared in the columns of the Intelli-
gencer.
Republicans looking for the news
need never expect to find it in the
hidebound and INSCRIPTIONS organ of
Fourteenth street when it is not in
conformity with the partisan notions
of that sheet, which is a political or
gan before it is a newspaper
The Intelligencer thus regularly
swindles it's readers by garbling or
suppressing political news and facts

and which would, if printed by it, con-
Wet it of partisan falsehood and mis-
representation in the very eyes of its
readers

Kirmess.

In some portions of Germany the
kirmess, or church mass, formerly
danced in honor of the dedication of a
church, is now observed with the special
character of harvest home. 1t marks
the close of the years labors and is cele-
brated by three days of music, feasting
and dancing with partners chosen or al
lotted, according to degrees of comeli-
ness, at the preceding May festival.
In southern Germany the end of the
harvest is marked by the sickle feast.
The last sheaf is carried in triumph to
the barn and placed on the floor, while
the younger couples dance around it.
One half Of it is then decked with rib
bons and hung aloft, while the other
half is burned. It's ashes are treasured
as a remedy for rheumatism and are
sometimes used in making amulets or
charms. The peasants leave for Wodan,
or ''the old one, few ears of corn
and small number of apples, it being
considered unlucky to strip either field
or tree entirely bare. -Lippincott's.

Eve Mnasnce.

Whenever your organs Of sight feel
weak, do not claw at them with the
knuckles, so to express it. You must
not massage your eyes the same way
you would the stronger parts of the
body. They need help from the hands,
but this help must be administered in
very gentle and delicate method.
John Quincy Adams had way of
treating his eyes, which, it is said,
preserved their vision to old age, with
out the help of speotaeles
This was to place his thumb and fore
finger each upon an eyelid and gently
rub them toward the nose number of
times each day. The action encourages
circulation of blood in that locality,
does away with the tiny spots that
sometimes float before the vision and
prevents that flattening of the lenses
which causes dimness of sight at GER
tain focus
1t is wonderful how much good can
be done the eyes of people of all ages by
using this simple exercise IGOR Is min
utes each day.
If you are where it may not be CON
venient to measure time, as in the dark,
it is well to count the number of passes
made by the fingers over the eyes until
you have reached the number that you
have demonstrated by experiment that
time will allow.-New York Ledger,

wonderful Pumping Engines.

The standard attained by the per-
Torrance of modern pumping engines is
pretty high, as was illustrated by an
incident which occurred not long ago
here in New York, where some large
pumping engines that had recently been
set up and were working at rather high
speed and almost absolutely without
noise were inspected by an expert in
such matters who hailed from an inte-
rior city He remarked, Well, those
engines work very nicely now, but wait
until you get to pumping water at that
speed and then you will hear something
from them probably.
His establishment may perhaps be i'm
agined when it was demonstrated to
him that they were at that moment
pumping water and had been continu
ously doing SO for 48 hours. American

Only a Step From Royal Maenifcence to

Only Step From Royal MaGniicence to
Crowds of Half Naked Workers.
One of the strangest contrasts in Ma
pies is to walk from the royal palace,
with its fine marble staircase, up the
new Corse Re d'Italia and to climb in
to. the steep streets around the Church
of San Soverino Sosio.
These streets are the dwelling places
of the dyers, and one steps from regal
magniticence into crowd of seminaked
people, who are busily dipping great
hanks of cotton or wool into seething
caldrons. Aselsewhere, the work is car
ried on in the street, and little streams
of water-red, yellow, brown and black
pour over the rough stones and gath
er in multicolored pools, while on low
benches against the walls women are
washing clothes, standing in the dirty,
soapy water that splashes over from
their tubs
The passersby walk heedlessly through
the dye and soapsuds while the chill
dren find pleasant occupation in throw
ing mud of every variety of color at
anybody who chances to be wearing
light colored garments. 1t is veritable
feast of color from the merely spectacu-
lar point of view, but visit to these
streets leaves a bodily as well as
mental impression.
Very often in the depths of these sor-
did alleys one comes across a forgotten
old palace, built when carriages were
unknown, its great court Of honor
crowded with booths, its vast halls fill
ed with heterogeneous collection of
men, women and children, fowls, goats,
sheep and occasionally a donkey, all
living together in the happiest proxim-
ity. The massive old walls are hidden
beneath centuries of dirt; the wood
work has, for the most part. disappear

They Help One Another.

A singular custom prevails among
the Tartars or Kurds. If man gets in
to dificulties-th that is, loses his cattle
or other movable property-he pours a
little brown sug6r into a piece of col
ored cloth, ties it up and carries one
such parcel to each of his friends and
acquaintance. In return he is present
ed, according to circumstances, with
COW or sheep or a sum of money. He is
thus at once set on his legs again. The
same method is adopted when young
man wishes to marry, but is not in
position to satisfy the parents of his
intended bride in the matter of the
bashlyg ''-thaG is, marriage dover
Only in this case he does not go round
himself, but sends friend or servant.

When Shafter was senior colonel of

The request was granted, but later on,
in looking over the same records, the

on the identical pretext. Shafter said
nothing, but a couple of days afterward
