Dollar and Heap of Trouble.

When gathering tickets on a train, 4
goOd-natured conductor noticed a passen-
ger fumbling and fussing in every pocket
for his ticket, which he apparently held
unconsci0usly between his teeth. En-
loving the embarrassment of the traveller
along with some fellow passengers in the
adjacent seats, he finally, much TO the
astonishment of the gentleman, reached
forth his hand, took the ticket, looked at
il, punched il. smiled, then proceeded
down the aisle TO the next car. When
he closed the door a passenger, who had
enjoyed the situation, said TO the late
holder of the ticket, "A pretty fair sam
pie of Observation-Disclosures ehT Don
you fool yourself" was the reply; the
ticket was two weeks old, and l was suck
ing the date off it." Now this anecdote
has nothing earthly TO do with Conductor
George Mckinley, of 1853 Washington
street. New Castle, Pa, but it serves TO
Introduce him to the reader, and makes
him in a measure acquainted with good,
reliable authority on the question he dis
eusses below. Mr.. Mckinley says: The
jolting and jarring of train in travelling
a thousand miles each week caused my

SEVERAL of our fellow townsmen
who attended the recent Bourse meet
ing in Philadelphia, called for the pur-
pose Of making John Wanamaker a
candidate for Governor, have taken ex-
ceptions to the HERALD's speaking Of
the organization then formed as the
Taxpayers Union. and call the HER
AID editors falsifiers for so doing. The
following are the resolutions adopted at
the Bourse meeting and published in
the Philadelphia Press of the day fol-
lowing. We have II from the "faken
organ itself, could higher authority be
asked for, that Charles Emory Smith
is the editor of the Press, and that it is
thoroughly Republican -
Resolved, That we deem II expedient
to form ourselves into permanent organ
izati0n under the name Of The Republi-
can Tax PAYERS Union
Resolved, That in furtherance Of this
determination the president. vice presi-
dent and secretary this day chosen be and
are hereby continued for the year.
Resolved, That the president is auth
orized 10 appoint an Executive Commit
tee of nine members, who shall assume
control of and shall conduct the ensuing
campaign"
If it was merely conference" of
Republicans to protest against Senator
Quay's leadership, why the necessity
OF eleeting officers to serve daring the
entire year? Is not General KOontz,
the Somerset county veteran, as those
who do not know him term him, now
in Philadelphia arranging for the APP
pointmsnt of an executive committee,
as provided for in the above resolutions?
"a rose might smell as sweet if called
by another name" but why repadiate
the name adopted? 1t certainly is an
inappropriate name so far as the presi-
dent and members from this county
are concerned, but perhaps they were
not consulted when the name was Sc
leeted. They might as well, however,
march out to sure defeat under bar-
ner inscribed Taxpayers Unionists,n -
as one Inscribed Independ aais," "
"Half-breeds," "Kiekers," "F.lk.rs. "
or "Mugwumps"

A Fatal Pin Prick.

MILLvILLE, Y. J., Feb. 1s.-Thomas
Campbell, residing in the outskirts of
this city, is dying from blood poisoning,
caused by a pin. Three weeks ago, while
working in pair of loose shoes. he wore
blister on his heel. At night he foolish
ly pricked the blister with pin to let the
water out. He complained of being ill
three days ago. He was told to seek med
ical assistance, but he refused, saying that
he could not afford TO quit work, as his
family needed the money. His condition
grew steadily worse until he was no long
er able to work, and when a physician
was called he pronounced it a case of
blood poisoning. His relatives have been
summoned, aid there is very little hope
of his recovery.

The Ruined California Grape Crop.

The partial loss to the grape crop this
year, caused by the heavy rains, is esti
mated to exceed l,OO0O 900. Farmers and
vineyards all over the northern part of
the State have suffered, and shipments of
the fruit 20 the East are proportionally
small. At least one quarter Of the crop
is lost. While this is true, it is equally
fact that lost and failing strength may be
restored tc the weak and nervous by the
persistent, systematic use of the great ma
tional tonic, HOstetter's Stomach Bitters,
which renews the tone and harmonious
activity of the stomach, liver and the
bowels, counteracts tendency to rheu-
matism and kidney complaint, and pre-
vents malarial disorders. Convalescence,
after exhausting diseases have run their
course, is often timeous and tedious. Re
covery is greatly accelerated by the use of
the Bitte-s, which improves the appetite
and iniparts renewed vigor to debilitated
physique. A wineglaSsful before meals
creates a hearty zest for food.

ASSISTANT Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt says ''the United States is a

naval power among the great nations"
This is an effective answer to the igno-
rant writers and takers who say that
the United States would be an easy prey
for Germany and the other nations of
Europe in a war with any of those
countries. The fact is, in the quality of
its vessels aud in general fighting
strength, only two nations of the world
England and Franee-are ahead Of
the United States. However, the naval
strength OF the United States is far

Ithaca n. Y. April S-Corncll. Pennsylvania
and Columbia have not yet decided whether
Poughkeepsie Saratoga will be the place for the
intercollegiate regatta. to be held on July l. In
a general way Saratoga Is preferred By all three
competitors. The fact that II the Saratoga course

will have 10 be transported by land will cause
great Inconvenience TO all. and unless this matter
can be overcome there Is probability that Pough-
keepse will be chosen. II. however. launches can
be secured on the lake the chances are that the
crews will favor Saratoga.
At present Cornell is considering the advisability
OF asking TO have the distance Of the course short
ened one mile. This would mean a three-me race
instead OF four miles Courtney strongly favors
the proposition TO reduce the distance and II Is
likely that Cornell viii mako the request OF Penn
