Condor is a good town, one o.
the best Of its size in the state. but
it should be better town at the
closeof 1900 than it is now, and il

the town should not fail to secure

been hard at work preparing two
magnificent souvenir numbers of the
Philadelphia Sunday Press, which will
be published on April % and 30. The
former will be Grant Day souvenir

paper or magazine. Superb color pages
will add to the artistic beauty Of the
both editions The front page of the
Grant number shows the splendid monn-

front page of the Dewey number is a

these editions, which will be the hand
soonest ever issued by newspaper.

A Wise Republican,

The Wilkesbarre Record says that a
Republican who has been prominently
mentioned for the nomination of an i'm
portant county office in Luzerne at the
next convention, was asked the other
day about his prospects. His significant
reply was: Il am not making any efforts
just how; If the Legislature adjourns
without electing a United States senator
| will not go before the convention at
all. l want at least about an even
chance of being elected if nominated,
and no Republican will have that il this
Quay and anti-Quay fight is to go on, as
it must on the state ticket. Such IA
fight will be death to the Republican
candidates on the local ticket in close
coun ties like Luzerne."

ONE REGIMENT ON DAUFUsKIE.
All Troops Have Left Now Save the
Sixth Ohio Regiment.

The Sixth Ohio is the only regiment now
in camp of detention on Daufuskie Island
The departure of the Ninth Illinois left
the Sixth all alone. The command will
come up to the city within day or two
and proceed to Augusta, where it will be
mustered out of the service 1t will be
taken to Augusta by the Florida Central
and Peninsular and the Central Railroads
The use of Daufuskie for detention p4r-
poses has been found of great advantage
in the movement of troops to this port
from Cuba. The war. department has been
enabled TO handle the soldiers with far
greater facility than would have been the
case had the original plan of using Sap
elc, Dry Tortugas, Egmont Key and Null
let Key been practicable When il was
found that Sapelo and others of the pro-
posed points for the establishment of de-
tention camps did not offer sufficient IA
cilities Col. j. B. Bellinger, depot quar-
termaster, began casting about for another
plan. He learned the advantages Daufus-
kie offered, and its easy reach enabled him
to give personal attention to the estab-
lishment and maintenance of the camp.
