A Trick for Halloween F0lIies.

A game that is not entirely new
and yet especially appropriate for
Halloween is known as "clairvoy-
ance." 1t is especially enjoyable for
an evening of mystery, because it
always proves mystifying to the un-
inflated. Take some particular per-
son who understands the game to
play the role of medium, and send
her from the room, an empty chair
being reserved for her next to the
person who is in collusion with her.
When she leaves the room some word
is determined upon by the rest of
the party, for instance "horse," and
when the medium returns her task
is to tell what the word is without
any questions. She is summoned,
sits down next to her friend, and
while all present are seated in a
circle, with joined hands, the one
who was in the room, and hence
knows the word, spells it to the me-
dium by tapping with finger upon
the palm of her hand, the number Of
taps being equal to the number of
the letter in the alphabet. For in
stance, eight taps for H, then quite
pause; fifteen taps for o, etc.
When the medium announces the
word successfully, osenotknowing
the secret cannot underestimate atall,
and it is even more mystifying when
it is explained that tits based upon
some peculiarmental action.-PHEBE

heed to the present frantic appeals
of the Democratic party.
Business failures in the United

tinue remarkably small. For the
week ending September I they were
only 1913, against l3l last year, and
3OS in the corresponding week of
1896, which Mr.. Bryan was telling
people from rear platforms of the
dire calamity in store for the coun-
try in case rf the rejection of his
free-silver proposition.
The money in circulation in the
United States on September l, was,
according to the statements of the
Treasury Department, S25.41 per
capita, against S2l.lS on July /,
1896, just prior to the nomination
OF Mr.. Bryan; yet Mr.. Bryan and
his associates, who are debating the
"principles" of the Democraticparty,
insist that free silver must remain
the leading issue Of the campaigns
of 1899 and 1900.
The TACT that the money in circula-
ton in the United States hasincreas-
ed nearly S450,O00,O0O since MIR.
Bryan's nomination, is likely to
prove quite embarrassing to the
Democratic orators whose leaders
are everywhere insisting upon max
ing tree-silver the leading issue in
the campaigns of 1899 and 1900.

Republicans OF Pennsylvania Have .
National Duty to Perform
This Year,

Repu blicans OF Pennsylvania Have .
National Duty to Perform
This Year.
"The candidates on the state ticket"
says Colonel A. Nevin Pomeroy. OF
the Franklin Repository, represent
the Republican party Of Pennsylvania,
and no Republican who has given the
matter serious thought will think Of
voting against that party this year.
Even II the candidates were not what
they are 1t should be remembered that
they represent q party that has brought
so much prosperity to US, and ono
which has exceedingly grave issues to
dispose Of. The people have placed
the disposition Of these matters In the
hands Of the Republican party. and
they owe 1t to that party to uphold its
hands until the affairs Of 80 much i'm
portance are finally adjusted.
III ever In the history Of the country
II was necessary for the Republican
party to roll up a big majority It Is
this year. No one denies that Presi-
dent Mckinley should be elected next
year. His record Of the past three
years entities him to q reelection; the
future prosperity of the country de-
mands 1t. A reduction in the Repub-
lican vote this year simply gives en-
couragement to the opposition for the
battle Of 1900. The Republican vote
in Pennsylvania this fall should be
larger than 1t has ever been In the
past"

involved. Republicans who want good
government should vote for the Dem
ocratic ticket"
But Republicans recognize the fact
that the greater the Democratic vote
In Pennsylvania this fall the more con-
ISOLATION and encouragement will be
given Bryan to make another desper-
ate dash for the presidency next year.
The greater the appeals Of the Dem
ocratic national committee to Demo-
Gratis OF Pennsylvania to get together
for next years battle the less consid-
tration should Republicans give to the
sincerity Of their campaign cry of this
being state issue contest in Penn
sylvania.
Colonel Guffey is not running the
Democratic campaign in this state this
fall for nothing. No one better than
himself knows that there is not the
ghost of show for the election of
any man on the Democratic ticket in
Pennsylvania this year. He fully real
ICES that Mr.. Greasy. the nominee OF
his party for state treasurer, is prac-
tically unknown to the voters Of the
state. The latter has not during the
few years he served as an officeholder
at Harrisburg done anything to at
tract attention to himself beyond car
rying out the plans outlined by the
managers CT the insurgent Republican
organization. He has not been az
fliated with the active Democracy OF
the state and has neither their sympa-
thy nor hearty support In his present
canvass.
WANTS TO BE SENATOR.
But Colonel Guffey has his own fish
to fry. He would, of course, like to
see large Democratic vote polled this
fall. but he Is more eager to divide the
Republicans wherever he sees 1t may
be to his advantage in his aspirations
for the United States senate. This Is
the meat in the political cocoanut
which Colonel Guffey Is giving his at
tention to in this campaign. He wants
to divide the Republicans as much as
possible. in order to help his canvass
for the United States senate. He has
mapped out great scheme for fusion
tickets for the legislature next year.
by which he hopes to defeat regular
and the house. His address intended
particularly for the voters Of Chester
county, endorsing the fusion movement
In that county this fall, was designed
to further the cause of the combina-
tion OF the Democrats and disgruntled
Republicans. who have fusion on the
county officers. Owing to a similar
combine in this county last fall, the
Democrats succeeded in capturing two
OF the four members Of the legislature
from Chester, which ordinarily ought
to be a stalwart Republican county.
Guffey Is pursuing the same tactics
throughout the state. and whenever he
sees a chance to divide the Republi-
cans locally he gives the Democrats
all the encouragement possible. There
will be show Of fighting for the state
ticket. but with the Republicanism of
the commonwealth aroused and a gen.
eral determination to support tho Nc
Kinley administration in its war policy
the Democrats realize that they have
no chance Of electing any one on their
state ticket. They will. however, in
local struggles do all In their power to
disrupt the Republican organization ip
the hope OF helping Guffey in his sem
atorial canvass.
