If there be any truth in the statement
of Regidor, Aguinaldo's emissary now in
London, there will be family disturbance
for Monsignor Chapelle to settle when he
reaches Manila. Regidor asserts that the
Luzon friars, having placed themselves
under the protection Of Otis, are calmly
appropriating the property of the secular
priesthood. The Philippine natives. it
should be remembered. are as devoted to
the secuIars as they are bitterly inimical

MANUFACTURERS NEED CARS.
Busfness Isampered by Lack of
Hauling Facilities.

READING. Pa. Oct. 31.-An inadequate
supply of cars and motive power is causing
great Inconvenience to the manufacturers
Of eastern Pennsylvania and number OF
large concerns in this section are threat
ened with the necessity of temporarily clos
ing down on account of lack Of fuel and
raw material. Several of the large iron
furnaces are now using anthracite coal In
stead of coke because their supplies of the
latter are exhausted and the other furnaces
will shortly be forced TO Go the same unless
large quantities of coke are received from
the western part Of the State.
The chief reason given for the scarcity OF
cars is that the New York Central Railroad
will not send any south of their line nol
permit the Beech Greek or Falls Creek
roads TO do so. as they require all in making
shipments to the lakes which cannot be de-
layed until freezing weather.

reported that the European powers are
about to ask us to select port and hinter-
land on the mainland, confine our CONNER
cial ardor to the same. and stop claiming
ancient privileges along the whole shore.
Probably this is solution to which we
will have to consent. As Great Britain is
said to be a party to the movement, it
cannot be regarded as unfriendly.

AN EGYPTIAN FUNERAL BARGE.

Exhibition of an Antique Craft In n
Chicago Museum.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 31.-Visitors to the
Field Columbian Museum today sought out
the transportation department of the big
building in Jackson Park and gazed at
recent acquisition, a peculiar shaped boat,
propped up on stays in one corner of the
room. This crude craft, built by the Egyp-
tians over 1000 years ago, was usued as
a funeral barge during the reign of King
Usertesen III.
1t was discovered near the pyramid Of
the former ruler, many miles above the
mouth of the Nile.

We are apprehensive that a recent social

serious effect upon Mr.. Hanna's rheuma-

reflect that Republicans in Ohio. who do

miral Dewey in the Presidential chair, may
want to compromise en- helping to make
his brother in-law governor.

In one way and another the inferior character
of many French army officers becomes matter

occurred recently at Auxerre, where pub

COUNTY MASS CONVEN
TON

Democrats will decide who shall
represent them in the Democratic
State Convention at Louisville
June 81. The candidates befor,
them will be those vieing for the
nomination for Governor. Othei
positions of almost equal impor.
lance will, we fear, be lost sight
of, The Attorney General is ar
important place; a good man, one
thoroughly qualified should fill it.
We know of none better than Mr..
Scott, of Frankfort. Then there
is the Office Of Treasurer. We
have good men asking for that po-
sition. Ford, Of Middlesborough,
and Hager, Of Ashland, are prom
inent in the race and our people
are about equally divided be-
tween them. One Of the most
important Of all positions to which
the people elect is that Of Super
intendent Of Public Schools. This
position demands a man Of eXpe-
rience with teachers and school
teaching, and no man offering, in
our judgment, is better qualified
than our brother of the quill. Nc
Chesney, Of Livingston county.
A gentleman thorou ghly equipped
for the position is he.
This county is for Chenault, Of
Madison, for Auditor, and will so
instruct
1t is the duty Of every Demo
crat to give expression Of his
choice next Saturday. This
county is for Stone or Goebel.
Every Stone supporter should be
at the Courthouse promptly at 2
o'clock p. m. 1t should be a fair
count between these gentlemen;
We hopeit will be, and the one get
ting the highest number Of votes
should receive the first instruction
and the other the second. Having
confidence in the people we say
it will be so. We believe the
choice Of Montgomery county is
Capt. Stone, and If he does not
receive the instruction of the
county with the majority Of the
votes for him it will be their fault.
We therefore urge the friends of
Mr.. Stone to be present, every
one Of them. Likewise do we urge
the friends Of Senator Goebel to
be present, for it is the choice Of
the entire people Of our county
that we would have. Also if
there are votes for Mr.. Hardin
they should be known and if their
candidate has no showing, they
should have a second choice.
Next Saturday we look for a !
rousing Democratic meeting, in
which there will be order, with
the majority ruling, Montgomery
county, we believe, will instruct
for the best men for State officers
and will send representative men
as her delegates to the State Con-
vention.

"When Pa Gets Sick" by Miss
Berthe Tsulbee was exceedingly well
acclaimed, in a charming manner, all
her own.
Miss Minnie Turner Hall in her
treatment of the character of Lady
Macbeth showed true appreciation of
that most enigmatic of characters.
Much was expected from Mr..
Tsulbee on account of the great
reputation he has already won for
himself as q declaimer of the first
rank and on account of his name
Woodson Hedden Taulbee. His dec
lamation, pyramids Not All Egyp-
tian," was no disappointment. From
start to finish the audience was held
in close, spell-bound attention and at
the end round after round of earnest
applause was his reward.
A farce rendered by Misseses Eliza
Samuels, Beulsh7Shankland, Esther
Taulbee, Julia Clark and Messrs.
James French, John Arnold and
Charlie Kirkpatrick, gave evidence of
great histronic power on the part of
the young people. Their interpreta-
ton OF their characters gave the live
liest pleasure of all. Miss Esther
Tauibee especially deserves great
praise for the charming and vivacious
manner in which her part was per-
formed.

Shadow of Thy Wing"
"Antonio and Shylock" were dis
cussed by Miss Mamie Maxwell Ow.

by Miss Ella Mcintosh, in a truly
beautiful manner, won the admira-
ton of all. The chorus was sung by
Misses BERTHE Taulbee, Mabel O'Rear
and Emilee Hibler.
"Shakespeare's Most Pathetic
Scene" was treated with true appre-
citation and delivered in a most win
some manner by Miss Bertha Alice
Anderson.
In cleopatra and the Messenger"
by Miss Dannie Bell Scott and Mr..
Woodson Hedden Tsulbee, Mr.. Taul-
bee again showed his great adapta-
bility to the noble characterization of
classic writing. The scene was given
with much success by both perform
ers.
Miss Matte Elrod Tabb's essay on
"Marc Antony" was well written,
well read and much enjoyed.

most thorough knowledge of their
subjects. We predict for them brill

the talented young ladies of our town,
completely won the large audience by
