SKETCH OF CHARLES !. REILLY.
The following narrative of the inter
esting and honorable career of a con-
spicuously self made man, Charles J..
Reilly candidate for Judge of the su-
perior court, is from the forthcoming
publication of the proceedings of the
Democratic state convention, compiled
by j. w. Meyer, secretary of the state
committee:
"One of the chief glories of our in
stitutions has ever been the fact that,
no matter how high or humble begin
ming one may have had, they afford all
persons an equal opportunity to rise
in the scale of excellence from the
lowest to the highest position of in
tluence and power in the gift of the
people. The race is open to all corners
on equal terms. Were | to attempt to
enumerate the names and describe the
lives of the great men of humble
origin who have embellished American
history with their achievements in all
departments of human endeavor
would have to rewrite the greater and
most brilliant part of it, Common OBJ
seryation may be epitomized in the
statement that nearly all, if not all,
our great statemen, jurists, scientists
and leaders in finance and trade, be-
gan life and acquired early learning
and experience in the school of adver-
sity. In the rude Mill Boy of the
Slashes' we soon behold the polished

rail splitter the world is compelled to
admire and acknowledge one of the
greatest statesmen and benefactors of
his race in ancient and modern times

Mr.. Greasy headed the opposition, and
by his untiring efforts in the last days
OF the session succeeded in defeating

schemers
QUALITIES AS A REFORM LEADER.
1t was in this session that Farmer"
Crsasy's ability as leader was speci-
ally recognized by his colleagues, and
although very modest in his demeanor
and besides very unassuming in char
acter he was nevertheless against his
desire forced to the front and with
commendable skill led the minority in
the house through the most turbulent
part of the session with much credit.
In the last legislature he was given
the honor of the caucus nomination
for speaker by his party and he won
the esteem of his fellow members for
his leadership on the floor and his
struggles for the rights of the peo-
pie. He was a member of the legisla-
tive committee of the State Grange,
and as such represented the farm in
terests on the floor of the house Here
he championed the tax conference
BILL" which passed the house, and was
in the interest of the real estate own
ers of the commonwealth. In the Same
session he served on the standing COM
mittees on ways and means, agrieul-
ture, appropriations and health and
sanitation.
In the prolonged contest for United
States senator Mr.. Greasy was con-
spicuOus az one of the leaders to whom
the credit belongs for the noble stand
made by the Democratic legislators,
and for the proof given to all independ-
ents that they can proceed in their ef
forts for the overthrow OF Quayism
and the Republican machine with en-
tire confidence in the Democratic
party's integrity Of purpose.

At all the sessions he was an earnest
advocate of all bills that tended to
alleviate the condition of the work.
ingman, and his fight in committee to
restore to the laboring people the
Orme store order bill will never be
forgotten by them. Farmer Greasy
stood by the Bullitt charter bill in this
session when it was in danger.

MR.. CREASY's RECORD.

The Hon. William Trenton Greasy,
Democratic nominee for state treasur-
er, was born Feb. 23, 1856, on the
farm on which he now resides in Cat
awissa township, Columbia county.
He is the son of Nathan Greasy, who
was one of the county's most worthy
and respected citizens. The candi-
dates ancestors were of the earlier
settlers of PENNSYLVANIA and New Jer-

Each American soldier in the Philip
pines costs the taxpayers $l,5o0 year.
This is fiye times as much as the average
wages of American coal miners, farm
hands and common laborers, and these
pay their share and more than their
share of that 81, 500 for each soldier.
The men with the hoes and picks and
shovels won't be able to straighten up

obligations to persons financially ire
sponsible, This bill was introduced
by Quay senator. reported favorable
by a Quay committee, passed by a
Quay senate and when called up in the
house for consideration Mr.. Greasy
pointed out its defects. and 1t was
killed there and then, and not further
heard from in that session.
In short. Mr.. Greasy bitterly opposed
all schemes to loot the terasury, not
only in special measures, but also in
the general appropriation bill. When
the scheme was concocted by the Quay
machine to cut the school appropria-
tion one million and a half each year

MOODY's LIFE WORK ENDED.
Evangelist's Weak Heart Prevent
Further Extensive Labors

The Philadelphia Press of today says:
Dwight L. Moody, the noted evangelist, will
never again be able to undertake any ex-
teEsive or active religious work from the
public platform. Such was the brief but
significant announcement made to a Press
reporter last night by Evangelist Ira D.
Sankey, who for many years has been Mr.
Moody's intimate friend and companion in
religious work
Mr.. Moody has been i'll at his home at
Northfeld, Mass, for some time His
troubles arise from a weakened heart
which has been severely strained by his
arduous labors, dating back over a quarter
of a century.
He has been under the constant care of
physicians for some time, and while they
hope to be able to save his life, his heart
will be left in such condition as to prevent
his undertaking any heavy work in the
future.
The statement of Mr.. Sankey was based
on a letter received by him on Saturday
from Mr.. Moody's son, who wrote that his
father would probably recover, but would
never be able to do very much work in the
future.
