was simply making an addition to Its

she had a right to take because of hel
large commercial interests there.

Very respectfully,
A. STONE,
Governor Of PENNSYLVANIA"

Governor Oh P~tnnSyIValId.
The authority mentioned by the gov
rnO says that the governor of any
state may make a temporary appoint
ment during a recess to hold until the
next legislature meets.
This Interpretation is disputed by
those who say that the did not
occur during a recess, but while the
legislature was in session.
Mr.. Quay's acquittal in Philadelphia.
and his appointment TO the United
States senatorship created the great
est excitement in political circles here.
The friends of quay are wild with
glee and say that he has achieved two
triumphs now hat must certainly act
in his favor.

look for a close game. In my opinion
the slightest accident or piece Of good
fortune in tomorow's contest will de-
eide / anticipate an open game with
plenty Of kicking. Blatherwick, who
punts for Denver, Is reputed to be good
for fifty yards every time he battles
the ball and Howell will have his hands
full In the matter Of exchanging punts.
Denver will play straight foot ball,
trusting to fast interference and speedy
endwork rather than tricks TO win.
MY only opportunity Of judging the
team has been from the appearance
they present Every man seems to know
the game. ! consider the game an even
money proposition at best. Personally
| pick the High school TO win, but they
will have to play faster and harder foot
ball than they have done in their other
games this season. Denver viii play a
straight team. The team went through
light practice here and showed clean
team work. They will arrive in Salt
Lake tonight. In my opinion II Is case
Of the best team that will win, every
thing else being equal"

Young Gndley is TOO old to enter

penses while studying for the lieuten-
ancy.
This morning he met young Gridley
at the White House, aud presented him
to the President. Admiral Dewey start

As Admiral Dewey and the young
man were descending the White House
steps, the admiral was saying TO the
son OF his old comrade:
Now you keep an account OF your
expenses, and let me know what they

ran into a group Of newspaper men.
Il shall be glad to give you an item

plclous moisture IN his eyes.

away. 'let the people OF the country
