be the largest gathering of the kind eY-
er held in Pennsylvania. Preparations

larlv and in every way is turthering the
arrangements for. the big convention.

Endeavorers. y large choir of five hun
dred voices is being trained and the
committees on entertainment and'recep-
ton are doing everything in their pow
er to insure the comfort of the visitors
On the second floor of the market build
ing is large hall which will be used
Jointly by the entertainment and recep-
ton committees. Here all delegates

quarters for the State Committee.
Near the convention hall are several
large churches which will be used for

and put in readiness for the opening OF
the convention. The general commit
tee has regular headquarters at Il
South Second street, where vast cor
respondence Is being conducted and
where the various committees meet al
most nightly.

New York City Beyond Spain's
Reach.

The people of New York City need
have no fears about being bombarded
by Spanish warships. The land fortifi-
cations around it, without the assist
ance of the navy, would be ample protec
ton against any fleet that might be sent
here. The guns of warship like the
Vizcaya cannot throw a shell further
than eight miles, since it is impossible
to get very much elevation for an 8 or
10 inch gun in the turret of ship.
No warship could lie outside the Mar
rows and shell New York. az some peo-
pie imagine, for the distance is too
great; and moreover ship attempting
to perform any such unkind act would
be under heavy fire in close range of
the batteries OF Forts Hamilton and
Wadsworth. the latter of which has a
commanding position well suited to re
sist attacking warsbips. New York
city is to be congratulated upon the
means of active defence available for
safety and security from foreign enc,

ONE of the most peculiar and misun-
derstood faculties of man is the sense of
smell Animals have it in a keener de-
gree. Humboldt says that the Peruvian
Indians could tell in the darkest night
whether person approaching was 4
European, a negro, or an American In
dian. In those who are deprived of the
other senses, the power of analyzing
odors is sometimes abnormally develop
ed. The Scotch boy, James Mitchell, a
blind deaf mute, could distinguish the
individuals III a room into which he
was led. John Mossman, deaf mute
of Parkersburg, West Virginia, was
able to locate oil wells vita the certain
ty that a setter finds partridges His
nose brought him fortune of FIVE hun
dred thousand dollars as fees for pro
fessional smelling Some odors cling
to the surface of things, as the odor of
game, which rarely rises much above
the ground. Others are rapidly diffus-
ed through the air. Why is this? No
one knows One of the most singular
things above the sense of smell is that
it is not subject to illusions. Sight may
be deceived. One may imagine he sees
things which are not before him; he
may hear roaring in his ears when
there is no sound, but it is said that
even the insane are not subject TO olfac
tory delusions. There are no ghost
smells If this is true, what is the raa-
son, what is the explanation, of the
phenomenon? Again, why are the
earth and fields so much more fragrant
in the morning than at noon, when the
strength of most odors is Increased by
heat? Evidently science has not dis
covered everything vet

sToNEs BROKEN PLEDGES.

Mr.. Wanamnker at one of his meet
ings early in the campaign stated that
William A. Stone was not a safe man
to elect governor because he had vio-
lated a solemn pledge to vote, as del
egate 70 the last national convention,
for the candidate WING was the choice
of the people. His constituents In AL
legheny City overwhelmingly instruct
ed him to vote for William Mckinley.
He ignored their desires, broke his
pledge and voted for Quay for presl-
dent,
w. A. Stone at o subsequent meet
ing denied this, and Mr.. WaEamaker
convicted him of a false statement, as
follows:

Saturday night, in an endeavOr to ex-
plain the statement that l made that
had been informed that he had violated
his written pledge to the people of his
home district when a delegate to the
national convention among other things
Mr.. Stone said:
Now let me give you the facts. The
convention which nominated Mr.. Nc
Afee and myself az driegates to the St.
Louis convention was composed of $50
delegates. After nominating US 1t
unanimously instructed us to vote for
Senator Quay. That convention had
the full right TO instruct US, and it did
so. After the convention the county
committee, which is controlled by

rule reauiring me TO sign paper

New Mexico and Arizona.

The Denver Republican, the best and most influential newspaper m the Rocky mountain region, has the following good words for the above territories:
 'lt Is a pleasure to see the evi- dences of reyiving prosperity in New NJ, xico and Arizona. They are the two great southwestern territories, aud in respect of their natural resources, they are much alike. The conditions which are expected to have a good effect upon one will favor the development of the other. Both are asking to be admitted as states, and in each case the request should be granted.
 The most marked mineral devel- opment in Arizona in recent years has been in connection with copper mining. Tn New Mexico attention has rather been given tO prospecting for gold. The success of the gold hunters in New Mexico has thus far been very good, and this may be said of many of those who in Ari- zona have searched for same min eral. The gold discoveries in New Mexico have been chiefly near the Colorado line. In Arizona they have been toward he southwestern cor ner of the territory.
 "Whether We speak of agriculture, or horticulture, cattle raising, or the product of wool, It is true of both these territories that nature hss made it practicable to pursue these industries within their limits, with profit and at low cost. The climate is, in the highest sense of the word, favorable to the produc ton of temperate zone fruits; and, m addition, 1t must be said regard lug Arizona, that Tn the Salt river valley and othe- localities, the pro- ductlon of certain kinds of tropical fruits has become an extensive and lucrative industry.
 Every body who knows anything about them IS assured of the great ness of the future which awaits these territories. But the people who live there are anxious to see the coming bright future hastened in every practicable way. What will most aid them in the realization of this desire is the adoption of means whereby capital would be inyested in the development of natural re- sources and the way opened for the settlement of large population of home seekers from the north and east. There should be a systematic effort 10 bring capital into their part of the southwest, aud doubt less 1t would be wise in this connec- tlon to secure as far as practicable, the cooperation of the Atchison, Topeka X Santa Fe aud other rail- roads that are interested in the growth and prosperity of these two promising communities"

An Arknn.n. Tornnhn.

FoRT SM1H. Ark, Jan. 12,-One of the most terrible storms that ever struck this section of the country tore through this city shortly before midnight last night. Everything Is In confusion as a result of the great destruction of life and prop erty, and as yet it is impossible 10 give anything like an accurate esti-
 timate of the number killed or in- Jured. Fifty persons are reported dead aud as many more missing,
 homes have been wrecked by the score and hundreds of people are
 without food and shelter. The storm struck the city III the south ern section, right at a point where the two rivers come together, and near the old fort. From there il spread over the whole city dipping down and scattering destruction here and there. There is a rise in the city towards the east, to meet the hills on that side, and most of the damage to property and losses of life was through that section. The tornado, after passing through the residence district, di1 its worst work in that portion of the business district in which the older build ings are located. and the total of ths damage done amount up very rap idly although many buildings were partly or wholly ruined. For this reason 1t is possible that S500,CC0 will cover the loss of buildings and including the new S5O,O00 high school building. winch was in the path of the storm and was badly wrecked, Many peo- pie in the outside districts were killed in the crash of falling build ings. All nurses and physicians that can De pressed into service are being utilized and scores are find ing employment in the hospitals of the city, where the injured are being taken. The morgue IS being taxed to Its utmost capacity and addi- tional bodies are being brought in every few minutes. Altogether the scene is sickening.

SIT. sarEsnt's Surprise Party.

MT. and Mrs. George G. Sargent, If Francistown, New Hampshire dropped into Prescott yesterday af- ternoon, from the south bound train, and gave their son, Geo. NJ. Sargent, general passenger agent of the :. F [. X r. railroad, a genuine surprise party. NIT. Sargent had no previous intImatlon whatever of the yIsit he was to receive from his parents till he was confronted with their pres ence, but of course the surprise was a very agreeable one to him. As general passenger agent of the rail
 road company, one of the duties of Mir. Sargent IS to eXpatiate on the attracIiveness of the country through which the road runs and to dtlate on the salubrity and comfort of the climate. He had no doubt been flooding his parents with this sort of literature and they probably concluded to take him unawares, so that he could not arrange with the weather clerk, in advance. for some choice samples of weather to order for their visit. But, be that as it may, they struck the town m a snow drift and the mercury fell to ten de- grees below zero the first night of their visit here. While everybody here knows tha: this IS exceptional weather, that excuse, to strangers, has very "chestnuty" ring and Mir. Sargent has been explaining ever since their arrival. He will keep himself posted daily on the weather cond tions in Phenix and the very first favorable opportunity that presents itself he will take his father and mother down there and try to square himself.
