Denmark"
With one accord they cried out, "Ca-

Just then a little girl, to whom the
schoolmaster had whispered something,
stood up and raised her hand.
"Do You know a%nother?" asked the
king.
"Yes-Frederick vi"
"What great act did he PERFORM"

1t is the purpose of the people of

WHY Do We Ynwns

There can be little doubt that II of
the objects of yawniDg is the exercise of
muscles which have been for a long
time quiescent, and the acceleration Of
the blood and lymph flow which has in
consequence of this quiescence become
sluggish; hence its frequency after one
has remained for some time in the same
position-for example, when waking in
the morning.
Cooperating with this cause is sleepi-
ness and the shallow breathing which ii
entails. This factor, as we'll as muscle
quiesoence, is apt to attend the sense OF
boredom which one experiences in listen
ing to u dull sermon; hence it is that
the bored individual is apt to yawn. At
in the case of signing, the deep breath
which accompanies the act of yawnine
compensates for the shallow breathing
which is SO apt 10 excite it. New York

FANTASTIC IDEAS ON THE PHILIP
PINES.

From some of the arguments advanc-
ed against the annexation of the Philip
pines it might be supposed that the peo-
pie Of the United States are without ex-
perience in dealing with territory oc-
cupied, to some extent, by wild tribes
of men AS this has been a part of our
business ever since the government was
founded, and was a main occupation of
II colonial forefathers. it is strange
how the notion could be given serious
thought. The Filipino savages, on ac-
count Of their distribution on islands,
Will be much easier to control than the
stalwart red men who roamed over a
continent. The problem Of uncivilized
races has been an intimate part of
American expansion from the first ap-
pearance of white men upon the eastern
coast. 1t is by no means probable that
the untamed natives of the Philippines
viii be as relentless as Apaches, as dog
ged in fighting. If to reduce savages to
subsection is wrong, then the whole
movement of the worlds population
throughout history is to be condemned.
The long march Of the higher races is
an abstract question not debated in
craftsmanship or diplomacy. 1t is ac.
cepted as something beyond the contro,
of parties or governments, as a tide, in
fact. in human destiny.
Another idea of the Utopian order is
that we should convert the Philippines
into a republic and stand by to see that
they are governed wisely and are safe
from outside aggression. This is a plan
to add to the difficulties and pile up the
responsibilities. Not long ago we abb
sorbed the republic of Hawaii because
it found the position of a small indie
pendent state in tine Pacific uncertain.
insecure and a disadvantage generally.
Every danger to which Hawaii was ex-
posed would be intensified in the case
OF a Philippine republic. 1t is in the
midst of European territorial seizures.
The government OF the republi. of Ha-
wall passed into the hands Of white men
through the incompetence of the a
tives. We should have fought for Ha-
wall ii any foreign nation had attempt
ed to take 1t. Founding a republic for

AFTER THE CONVENTION.
Committee of Boomers Met Last
Night in the st. Charles Hotel.
They Will Have Another
Meeting Tonight.

If the state firemen's convention isn't
secured for Scranton for 1899 it is not
the fault of the joint special commit
tee of councils and the flremen and
citizens now aroused in the spirit of
bringing it here. There was a gener-
al meeting of all those interested at
st. Charles hotel last night and
so large was the attendance that the
reading room was insufficient to hold
them all.
From the reports of committees and
individuals intrusted at the last meet
ing with certain duties in connection
with arranging for the Scranton boom
AT the convention in Lebanon next
month, it was inferred that all details
of the general plan are well under way.
The finance committee reported salts
factory progress in its soliciting of
funds to defray the expenses of the
booming at Lebanon. The committee
has S447 and hopes to get the balance
of the amount needed during the next
few days. one donation of 800 was
from Congressman William Connell.
Bauer's band of thirtyfive pieces,
the Century hose company, about sew
enty-five citizens and eighteen or twen-
ty firemen delegates will represent the
city at Lebanon. The great expense
involved may be inferred from the cost
of the band alone. Transportation for
thirty-five members. their pay for -four
days, and hotel bill for that period
will alone amount to a good sum. In
addition, the cost of souvenir badges
printing. Courtesies and other inciden-
tai expenses. altogether 5000 or l,00(
will have to be considered.
1t was decided to purchase 10OC
badges. The design will show a white
| medallion, containing on one side q
| mule, mine car and driver boy, anc
on the other side a verse emblematiC
of the Electric city and suspended from
| the medallion a rabbits foot.

PENNSYLVANIA DAYAT OMAHA
Preparations Made to Welcome the
Keystone State Visitors.

The following address to the people
of Pennsylvania will be read with in
terest by prospective visitors to the
Omaha exposition:
The Trans mississippi and Ihterna-
tional exposition at Omaha has set
apart the 5th day of October, 1898, as
Pennsylvania Day. The citizens of
Nebraska who claim Pennsylvania as
their native state have organized a
Pennsylvania club in the city os
Omaha. This club has at the present
time about one thousand members, and
there are over ten thousand native
Pennsylvanians residing in Nebraska.
The Pennsylvania club members send
greeting to their fellows in the Key
stone state, and ask them to attend the
exposition on the 9TH of October; on the
day following the club will hold in the
city park a grand basket picnic for all
Pennsylvanians who may wish to par
ticipate. Many prominent citizens have
signified their intention to attend. and
orators of national reputation will de-
liver addresses. We are assured that
Governor Hastings and his staff will
be present at that time.
The exposition is well worthy of a
visit 1t surpasses all other eXpositons
except the Worlds Fair, and in some
of it's features is even more beautiful.
1t is filled with wonderful exhibits of
the plains and mountains and the
Trans Mississippi country. During the
week of October 5. in addition to the
other attractions, there will be show
of live stock. gathered from all parts
of the United States. which in variety
and importance cannot be eXcelled
There will be an assemblage of over
one thousand Indians gathered from
the tribes of the west who will par
| ticipate in war dances, sham battles
sports and contests of physical endur-
| ance. Their native villages have been
transplanted upon the exposition
| grounds.
During that week, the knights OF
| Ak-Sar- Ben will hold their grand
| Mardi-Gras festival. on Tuesday night
they will give their annual parade OF
over forty floats, said to surpass any
thing of the kind ever attempted
| Thursday night, the wonderful cleo.
| trical street procession can be seen
and Friday night the bah presided over
| by the king and queen of the Ak-Sar-
| Bens will be patronized by the society
| people of western cities.
The railroads have granted a rate OF
one fare for the round trip. Good ac,
| commodations can be had in the city
at from 81 TO $3.50 per day. Informa
| tion can be had on application to the
| Pennsylvania headquarters as to hotels
and boarding house rates.
/ The club will do all i'm its power tC
make your stay i'm the city comfort
able and pleasant. and extends to yol
a hearty invitation to be present, anc
promises you warm welcome.
