BROWNS
SHOES
COVER
THE
EARTH.

A considerable part of our fall
and winter stock of the celebra-
ted Hamilton-Brown Shoes for
children, ladies and gentlemen
have arrived, and we can say
with all consciousness that no
better values in shoes has ever
been offered to the wearers of sole
leather in York county. In
point of wear resisting qualities,
styles and shapes, they are truly
the shoes of the people, and the
firms name stamped on the shoe,
is a certificate of their faith in
the quality of their goods, and
we are authorized to guarantee
every pair to give perfect salts
faction. The popularity of these
shoes are highly attested by the
fact that last year their sales
reached nearly $6, 900, 900, and
the increasing ratios of this years. S
business indicate tremendous
gains over that of last year, un-
til it now seems that Hamilton
Browns Shoes will literally cov-
er the earth.
The watch word of Hamilton
Brown, the largest shoe manu-
facturers on the globe, is QUAIL
ITY-quality of material and
quality of workmanship, and
considering this essential, there
is no shoe on the market today
which can nearly compete with
them. We have been handling
these shoes for two seasons and
not a single complaint has reach
ed us, and with a tremendous
shoe business like ours, its a
record hard to beat. In price
they are cheaper than intended
limitations. Once a wearer OF
Hamilton-Brown's Shoes always
wearer.

AN IMPORTANT POINT.

I desire to call the attention of all who
expect to buy Drills this season that they
are liable to be disappointed in getting a
machine, and especially the one wanted,
if they wait until they are ready to use
the Drill before placing the order. Last
year a number of would-be purchasers
failed to get Drills because of this fact. Il
will not cost one cent more to buy drill
before August Is than after, and you are
not compelled to take it out until you are
ready to use it. I want the order as soon
as I can get it in order that can have
time to get the machine.
|IF IT IS NOT CONVENIENT
For you to call and examine the Drill,
send for an illustrated catalogue.

When the world is fast asleep
Along the midnight skies"
As though it were a wandering cloud
The ghostly dream-ship flies.
An angel stands at the dream-ship's
helm
An angel stands at the PROV,
And an angel stands at the dream-ship's
side
With a ru wreath on her brow.
The other ang als, silver-crowned,
Pilot and helmsman are,
And the angel with the wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
The dreams, they fall on rich and poor;
They fall on younG and cid;
And some are dreams of poverty,
And some are dreams of gold.
And some are dreams that thrill with
Joy.
And some that melt to tears;
Some are dreams of the dawn of love,
And some Of the I'D dead years.
On rich and poor alike they fall,
Alike on young and old,
Bringing to slumhering earth their joys
And sorrows manifold.
The triendlesS youth in them shall DO
The deeds of mighty men,
And dropping age shall feel the grace
OF buoy9nt youth Ggain.
The king shall be a besgarman-
The pauper be a king
In that revenge of reCompense
The dream-ship dreams do bring.
So ever downward float the dreams
That are for all and me,
And there is never mortal man
Can solve that mystery.
But ever onward in its course
Along the harrted skies
As though It were a cloud astray-
The ghostly drcs m-ship flies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmsman are,
And an angel with wreath CT rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.

A new civil service reform bill has
been proposed at Harrisburg, owing
parentage to Clinton Rogers Woodruff.
IT requires that the governor shall ap-
point three commissioners, with the
term of one of them expiring yearly,
and not more than two OF the mem-
bers to be Of the same political party.
After the third year the term of Of
tice will be three years. Each commits
sioner is to be paid $1,000 year, with
travelling expenses. The act shall not
apply to elective offices, to appoint
ments subject to confirmation by the
senate, to the governors or mayor s
private secretary, stenographer or
messenger, 10 the legislative clerks or
employees. to assistants to district at
torneys or TO city solicitors, to heads
of city departments or to 'one person,
whether called deputy, assistant, chief
clerk or cashier to a city government
head" In all other cases of state and
municipal offices the bill is applicable.
Provision is made for open, competi-
tive examinations relating solely to
matters fairly testing relative fitness.
The appointing power must select
from the three persons graded highest,
and where practicable vacancies shall
be filled by promotion. Preference
she'll be given to applicants who serv-
ed in the army or navy. So far as
practicable, there shall be for each
county, city or borough separate exam
nations under direction of a chief ex-
aminer, to be paid $4,000 year with
travelling expenses, The commission
may employ a secretary at 81, 900 a
year and others assistants that may be
legally authorized, with examinations.
to be paid s. a day while at work.
There shall be no removals, except for
cause, which shall not be either politi-
cal or religious, and which shall he de-
tailed in writing 10 the commission,
with "A copy given to the removed per-
son if requested. No officer or employe
in the classified service shall be con-
cerned in soliciting or receiving, nor
shall any person be concerned in So
Letting or receiving from him any as
sessment or contribution for political
purposes.
This bill, we fear, represents an ideal
rather than near possibility.

Senator Plat and the Fathers.

The distinguishing characteristic OF
practical common sense for which
Thomas c. Plat has long been noted
was exhibited conspicuously in his re-
marks in the senate yesterday ON the
constitutional aspects OF expansion.
Mr.. Platt does not make a fetish OF
tradition. He admires the wisdom of
the fathers, but does not feel called
upon to consider that human wisdom
as applied to problems Of government
began and ended with them. To his
view they were men not greatly diff
ferent from an equal number of rep-
resentatiVe, earnest men of today: they
were brought together by an emer-
gency to provide as best they could a
workable scheme of popular govern
ment, and they met this need with
rare prescience and ability, but not nee
sssarily in any spirit of omniscience.
1t was. he thinks, far from their
thoughts to lay down for remote futur-
ity a lot of innexible policies: their
purpose was rather TO construct a
machinery whereby policies generated
from time to time by the logic of events
in the minds and oonsciences OF a free
people might be put into operation
with the smallest waste of energy and
the least sacrifice of efficiency.
The fathers builded wonderful
mechanism Of government, hut the
merit of it is its continual adaptable
ity to new conditions. The fathers
could not have fOreseen in any detail
the conditions of today; not one OF them
ever saw Il locomotive, a telegraph in
strument or telephone: not one of
them could have imagined that in one
hundred years the thirteen colonies
would grow into an imperial republic.

or all the absurd contentious in the
annals Of parliamentary debate surely
the most preposterous one on its very
face is that sovereignty by conquest
cannot be acquired under a republican n
form OF government. Every page of
our national history speaks either OF
acts or Of results which depend for their
very existence on the sovereignty OF
conquest. BY conquest the great west
was reclaimed; by conquest the north

General Eagan's Defense.

The defense outlined by Commissary
General Eagan is well calculated to
appeal for sympathy. II is a kind of
emotional insanity plea. In substance
the attempt is made to establish that
Eagan took General Miles remarks so
seriously that his mind became tenn
porarily unhinged; that he therefore
was not responsible for his actions.
Assuming that this claim has been full
ly established by the evidence-which.
of course, is point for the court mar
tial to decide-the question might well
he asked whether an officer thus liable
To lose control of himself is a fit man
to have executive charge of so import
ant a branch of the military service
as the commissary department.
Without wishing 10 try this case in
the newspapers we cannot overlook
that on its face, in the best light which
can possibly be cast upon ii, it, makes
an unanswerable argument for re-
organization of the war department
Whether Eagan shall or shall not be
punished for his TRADE against Miles. it
is evident to the country at large that
a system which upheaves into and
continues in responsible executive posi-
tion men of the Eagan temperament is
faulty and in need of repairs. Under
the law as it has been heretofore
Eagan might be utterly unfit and in
competent vet he could not be displaced
until after some extreme derciction
had forced him before a court Of in
duiry or a court martial and ELECTED
verdict of guilty, BY that time the
mischief would have been done: pre-.
vention would be simply a hope. not a
certainty, of the future
This manifestly is wrong 1t should
lie within the power of the general
commanding the army or within that
of the secretary of war TO change these
responsible staff officers at his discre-
ton. If tho commanding general or
the war cretary-whoever is actually
at the head Of the army organization
and directly responsible for work is for
any reason ar unsafe man in whom TO
place great trust, then surely he should
be clothed with authority sufficient to
make change at his pleasure. His
use Of this authority would in turn be
subject to review by the president OF
the United States, who would thus
know at any moment where and how to
locate the responsibility.

Regulating Damage Suits.

A bill in the interest of fair play for
invested capital has been introduced in
the state Legislature by Senator Magee
1t relates to casualty damages and
provides that no action for damages
for injuries to the person. arising from
negligence, shall be brought or main
tained in any of the courts unless the
party entitled to bring action shall
have given notice written thirty days
| from the date of the accident to the
person. firm or corporation to be charg-
ed as the defendant in such action
This notice is to specify the time, place
and cause of the accident" All action
for such damages shall be brought
| within six months from the time Of the
accident
This bill as may be seen. is particu-
larly for the benefit of street railway
companies which now are pestered al
most beyond endurance by bogus
claims for damages or claims which
could be settled amicably and equit-
ably out of court were it not for the
interposition of shark lawyers looking
to the main chance. BY requiring no.
| tiCe of accident to be forwarded within
thirty days the bill enables railway
companies first to ascertain the exact
Facts and then to attempt a settlement
by direct negotiation. 1t may be held
that this would give the railroads an
advantage not now enjoyed by them,
which is true; but it would not give
them an unfair advantage. If injury
is done by an agent of one individual
to another, the one expects prompt
notice from the other and every fair
minded man will say he ought to have
it. The principle is the same when the
defendant is a corporation.
Nor does it modify the equities of the
case to argue that because street rail-
ways are sometimes inconsiderate of
the public or eXtortionate in their deal
ings with patrons they should be treat
cd in law as common prey. There are
ways of disciplining those companies
without resort to injustice. Perhaps
one considerable reason why the street
car magnates Of the United States are
az a rule so curt and unyielding in
their dealings with the public is be-
cause they have to face each year a
growing charge for damage verdcts
continually averaging higher in
amount While some of these NAV be
Just large proportion, as any fire.
Quenter of court rooms knows, repre-
sent prejudices in the jury box rather
than justice or law. Street railways
should not have more than their due
but they can hardly be blamed for re-
fusing to be content with less.
