MR. CUSHMAWS PREDICTION.

q TACOMA, Dec. 3i.-Tomorrow will
usher In the new year OF 1888,
which IL the dim gray dawn OF the
twentieth century. I trust that my
rosy views OF the future have solid
foundation. and are not superlnduced
by the loyalty OF my party and my
friends by which have been elevated
TO an honored position.
In my humble judgment the usher
ing in of the new year marks an epoch
not only in Americas affairs. but In
the AFFAIRS Of all nations-and particu-
larry In reference 10 the American re-
public and Its people.
The fiat money heresy which two
years ago doomed threatening on the
financial horizon, has been not only
obscured. but destroyed. by returned
confidence and an American .ariff, and
without the aid and consent of any
other nation on earth"
The American heart Is today unalter-
ably in favor OF the upbuilding of the
American merchant marine--to the
end that the products OF American fac
tories and American farms may be
carried in American ships flying the
American flag. Can the American
people build an American merchant
marine? / answer that the architects
who planned and the artisans who
built the Oregon can build anything
That floats. In the exchanging COM
merce OF this nation. In my humble
Judgment. lies her future greatness.
We. should have, and will witness,
liberal appropriations for the army and
the navy. to the end that every foot OF
territory Conquered by Amss ican
swords shall remain under the Amer
lean flag.
There should. In my Judgment, be an
American commission appointed TO in
quire into conditions in the Orient
looking toward closer trade relations
and more extensive commerce.
There should be comprehensive
code of laws prepared for Alaska, for
IN the protection OF these interests
lies the enrichment OF the Pacific
Northwest.
There should be constructed imme-
diatety transpaciAc cable
The Nicaragua canal should. and I
believe will, be soon in process of con-
struction.
The new year is To be the commence
rnent of new era fraught with gtgan-
tic possibilities and vast results 10 this
nation as whole. and 10 the Pacific
Northwest In particular. / might in
deed say: "The future is big with fate
to Cato and TO Rome"

Miles an Hour Is About Your
Usual Gait.

Have you ever thought of the distance
you travel while you are out for an
hours stroll?
Possibly you walk three miles in an
hour, but that does not represent the
distance you travel. The earth turns
on it's axis every % hours. In round
figures call the earth's circumference
$4,000 miles, and you must have Travelled
during your hours stroll thousand
miles In the axial turn OF the earth,
saws the New York World.
But this is not all. The earth makes
n Journey round the sun every year.
Put the distance of our planet from the
sun at 92,0oO,OoO miles. The diameter
is therefore 1s4,o0o,Oo0 miles, and the
circumference described by the earth
SIS .OOO, 900 miles. In other words, the
earth travels around the sun each day
1.5s4,000 miles, and every hour-for in
stance. the hour during which you took
your walk-the earth moved through
$4,000 miles.
So, adding your three miles OF leg
travel to the hours axial movement OF
| the earth. this 10 the earth's orbitaI
| journey and that again TO the earth's
excursion with the sun. and you viii
| find YOU have Travelled within the hour

Democratic State Editorial Association.

About year and a half ago, a
number of Democratic editors met
at Harrisburg to discuss the advis-
ability Of organizing a state associa-
tion. At that meeting J. Zeamer of
Carlisle was elected President, and
twenty four editors constituted the
membership. AT a meeting held
last January, p. Gray Meek of
Bellefonte was chosen President for
1899. There are now sixty men,
bers, and the organization is rapidly
growing i'll strength and influence.
Every Democratic editor in the state
should become member. A meet
ing was held last week, Tuesday in
Harrisburg, and the issues of the
state campaign discussed. 1t was
almost unanimously the opinion of
those present, that the campaign
should be fought on state issues
alone, and this sentiment had some
thing to do with the platform ad.
opted by the convention. The next
meeting will be held i'll Pittsburg

Death of a Young Lady.

Miss Minnie B. Savidge, daughter
of Rev. and Mrs. George V. Savidge,
died early Wednesday morning of last
week,at the Town Hill parsonage. She
had been a patient sufferer from
anamia for nearly year and for the
past six months was unable to leave
the house. She was 26 years old and
an active worker in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, to which she be-
longed. Her sunny disposition and
winning ways always brought her a
host of friends wherever the turn OF
the itinerant wheel cast her lot.
The funeral services were held at
the parsonage at ten o'clock Friday
morning and were conducted by Rev.
DR.. Evans, presiding elder. Burial a,
Bloomingdale cemetery. In addition
to the parents sister, Mrs. T. S.
Chaplin, of Berwick, and two brothers
Ralph and Fred, survive .Shiek

CHANCE TO BE A KING.
II Is Only Necessary to Buy One OF
These Islands and Lord 1t
over the People.

Here was n great chance for people
wishing to become independent landed
proprietors. The French government
offers for sale some of the little i-lands
situated at the entrance of the bay OF
st. Malo, on the coast of brittany.
Formerly, when the famous French
pirates Jacques Cartier and Sourcouf
brought down the wrath of the English
on their heads by their acts of daring,
the victims tried to get near enough to
st. Malo 10 throw iirebranGs and to dis
charge cannon into the town. but they
were never able to succeed in passing
the islands.
The French government has taken
away the cannon from the fortified
walls of Gouchce, La Plata, La hon-
fleress and one or two other of these
blocks. The state, which is always
short of money, found it n needless ex-
pense to keep up this property and so
offers ii for sale.
The inhabitants of St. Malo are very
uneasy and discontented at the pro.
ceeding. And not without cause, for
no restrictions having been put upon
the sale, the highest bidder will become
practically their king, be his national
! ,ty what Il may.

SHIPS CHINA AND SILVER.
There Is Enough of Ii to supply All
the Residents of n Good
Sized Town.

Helen G. Candee gives an interesting
view of housekeeping on an Ocean
Steamship in Ladies' Home journal,
thus describing the vessels china and
silver: There are thousand spoons
for soup, the same number for tea, and
half that number for coffee and dessert.
The heaviest fork drawer contains
thousand dinner forks, and next to that
is the same number of breakfast forks.
For raw oysters there are 300 forks pro-
vided, and for fish about the same num-
ber. Knives follow closely the same
figures, 1000 each of dinner and break
fast sizes, 600 for dessert, and 260 for
fruit. The pantry is lined with shelves
which are fitted with racks in which
stand high piles of china, secure from
the motion of the stormiest sea. The
plate-warmer holds many of them, but
there are enough left to stock china
shop. There are 200 cups and saucers
for coffee, tea and bouillon; there are
over 400 water tumblers, and other
glasses in smaller proportion. The
plates of the popular size number 2,2oo,
and the soup plate es are only 49,"

IN THE MIDST OF ALARMS
ncuIties of Poker Playing in
the Gas Region.

'In the west the unexpected is apt to
happen" remarked an eastern man who
had just returned from business trip
through the northwestern states, land
no one expresses or apparently feels
any surprise at the most unlooked-for
events. Vow, where could such an oc-
currence happen, for instance, as the
following except in country like ours;
"At the hotel where ] was stopping
in town in Indiana n party of men
were seated at cards. Draw poker was
the game, and the betting was lively.
~ the last drawing one Of the party
found to his satisfaction that he hsld
straight flush, but just at that mo-
ment there was sharp report: second
one, much more violent than the first,
tore open the floor OF the smoking
room, and the party of men dropped
| into the cellar.
at was an explosion of natural gas,
n little episode which frequently hap
pens, | am told, in the gas regions. Al
| though considerably bruised, not one
| of the party fortunately was seriously
| hurt, and each man held with charac-
teristic western imperturbability his
| cards.
| "T cau,' said the holder of the
straight flush, as if the unpleasant lit
tie occurrence of being dropped sudden
| ly into the cellar had never happened,
whercupon the others showed their
hands by the light of their fuses, and
assisted the lucky winner TO find the
stakes, which were scattered all over
the ground"

LAKE MICHIGAN S DIRT WAVE.
Twice a Year "a Long Line OF HUB
bish Appears Along the
West shore.

Did YOU ever notice the dirt wave?'
asked an old fisherman at the Sixty
ninth street dock the other day, as he
pointed to long black streak on the
lake, which looked like the line of the
horizon.
"A peculiar thing is that dirt wave,
continued the old man, examining his
hook, land for many year I've been
puzzled about it,"
Upon being asked to tell something
about the dirt wave by the Chicago
Democrat reporter, he said:
well, that wave comes about twice
year as regular as the season, and
never fails to reach this sde'of the lake
during the month of April. Where 1T
comes from / can't exactly understand,
and how the rubbish which it carries
sticks together is mystery to me.
"You will notice." he continued, that
as far as you can see in either direction
| the dirt wave reaches.
''The dirt doesn't travel as fast as
| common waves, another thing | don't
| understand, and it'll be "a hours be-
| fore it reaches the shore"
What is the dirt composed of?'
"Why, just common rubbish. Sticks
wooden boxes, old newspapers miXeo
up with sort of mortar of dust anc
,aarine plants. I'll bet that wave is lO(
,lilcs long"

Decision on Side Path Law.

A legal point in connection with
the side path law has been raised up
in Bradford County. Application
was made to the court for a man
damus to compel the County Com
missioners to levy the tax on BIZ
cycles at once, and Judge Dunham
granted rule on the Commission
ers to show cause why they should
not do so. The position taken by
the commissioners is that under
the law the sidepath commissioners
cannot enter upon their duties until
the first of January after their ap-
pointment, (Which will be next
january and that they, the county
commissioners, cannot levy the tax
until the recommendation, by
the sidepath commissioners, has
been made to them, and such re-
commentator by the sidepath com.
missioners can not be made until
they have entered upon the duties
of their Office. In some of the
counties of the state the tax has al
ready been levied and the new law
put in full operation, but it is quite
possible they have been a little fast
for the Bradford county commission
ers seem to have the law on thei
side, although if the wheelmen arr
willing to pay the tax, nobody els'
ought to complain.

There is no sense" says one of
our exchanges, in the haphazard
way in which a patient is sent away
from home to exhaust his strength
and spend his money in the hope
that a change of air will do him
good. There is no use in sending
person away to die. Many physi-
clans are not as considerate about
this sort of thing. 1t is true that
there are some cases in which the
influence of climate is a potent fac
tor in the treatment of certain dis
eases but not half so many of them
as is generally supposed. Generally
a physician advises a patient to GO
away simply because he cannot cure
him. Quiet and rest at home, plenty
of sunshine, good food and pure all
are worth more than a change ol
climate that is so frequently reco
mmended as cure-all nowadays
