Victories.

warts at the primaries on Saturday
made very good showing considering
the fact that the organization in the
county has been in the hands OF the
Huff managers. 1t is declared THAI
many Democratic votes were cast for
the insurgent element. Despite this
fact, 1t seems that Cyrus e. Woods won
out for state senator and that at least
two of the four candidates for the
house, and possible three, will be regu-
lars. The result in Warren county is
that L. c. Baker, a stalwart Republi~
can, is nominated for the assembly
He will of course go into the Republi-
can caucus and abide by it's action.
In Venango two regulars, w. H. Cor
ring, of Oil City, and John p. Emery.
OF Franklin, were nominated for the
assembly by 1000 majority. Joseph
Sibley will be nominated for congress
in this district. La Clearfield county
the stalwarts elected their entire dele
CATION to the state convention, The
result in Center county, where Hast
ings a short time ago had everything
his own way, is very close. Every
delegate to the state convention from
Montgomery county will be stalwart
The state delegation from Cameron,
Northumberland and Dauphin counties
will also be in line. The Acheson ee-
ment carried the one delegate to the
state convntion from Greene county.
On the whole tie regulars have great
occasion to rejoice. as they will have
the coming state convention by a two
thirds vote.

Another Article Tabooed.

If man refrained from eating things
which from time to time are placed un-
der the ban by doctors the chances are
that he would soon starve to death. A
Spruce street physician who is dieti-
clan to the extent of being known as a
crank on the subject is warning all his
patients not to eat celery, which has al
ways been regarded as not only harm
less but actually beneficial. This doc,
tor claims to have discovered that the
soil in which celery is grown is laden
with germs of enteric fever, and that
in the ordinary process of washing it,
Is impossible to remove all of the soil,
any portion of which, he says, if taken
into the system, would contain enough
germs Of typhoid to fill an hospital!
And now his patient patients are won-'
dering what is to come next.-Philadel-

The Twins.

Oliver Herford repeats with great de-
light a story James Whitcomb Riley
tells about twins. These particular
twins live near Mr.. Riley out in Indian
apolis. Once not loLg ago one of them
was very naughty, and to punish her
the mother made her stay indoors all
day. To add keener edge to her dis
grace, favors were showered on her sis
ter. Sister was dressed up in her very
best. Sister was given new parasol,
and went prancing proudly up and
down the front walk In the grearest
glee. Presently one Of the neighbors
came by, and paused at the gate to
speak to the child.
you're one Of the Brown twins,
aren't you?'' asked the neighbor.
"Yes'm," answered the little girl.
(which twin are you?" the neighbor
inquired.
The child gave her skirts proud toss
'Oh," said she, complacently, I'm!
the good little twin that's out walking" -;

Fresno Prunes.

The prune association, unless the
packers come to the rescue again,
is likely to go to pieces today, and
all because it's president is an honest
man. He contracted with the packers
on the condition that the growers
should sign 80 per cent. of the crop,
and the packers should dispose of it.
He has over 80 per cent-more than
enough to make a bluff of calling it
80 per cent, provided he were in the
bluffing business, but he will not claim
more than he has, nor fulfill any less
than the full letter Of the contract.
1t is an honorable failure, if it is
failure, but let us hope that it will be
a success. Let the packers extend the
time for the signing until a few per
cent. more are obtained, and then, if
the 80 per cent. mark is still not quite
reached, let them go on with what
they have. They can make it succeed,
and next year will get 95 per cent.
more easily than they got 50 this year.
And success so obtained, on a basis of
frank honesty and mutual confidence,
has in it no germs Of failure, to mul-
tiply and plague the organism later
on Fresno Republican, May 10.

Training q Nose,

Mothers should care for the noses of
the children and see that they grow
properly. The soft tissues of the or
gan can be nodded in early life. A
thick nose can be made thinner by reg
ular treatment, such as compressing ii
daily, either with the fingers or with
instruments made with strings and
padded ends, so as to clasp the nose. A
clothespin has been used and so ad-
justed as to bring about the right
amount of compression. Many noses
are wrung and twisted out of shape
by the vigorous use Of the handker-
chief. The delicacy of the structure
Of the nose is not appreciated.-Har

equal, so far as our mental capacities
are concerned. Most of us have inher7
tied some peculiar and undesirable pre-
dilectionS-some for music, SOME for
languages, some for mathematics, some
for the acquisition of wealth, and so
on. But you may set it down as an un-
deniable fact that the young man that
has inherited the love Of work is going
to live the most satisfactory life and is
going to do the most good during his
brief span on earth. Genius has been
defined as IAN infinite capacity for TAX
ing palms," and while the definition has
been attacked by some philosophers
ehere is the best evidence to prove it's
correctness. Demosthenes is generally
orator we have record Of. AS young
man, he was not only an awkward
stammerer, ridiculous in gesticulation
and rhetoric, but his early utterances
gave absolutely no promise Of origin
ality Of idea. How he overcame by
patient study and practice not only his
physical defects, but acquired the
learning which found expression in his
grafton. "On the Crown" Is we'll
known history. The greatest scientists
Of modern times-for instance, Lord
Kelvin, Helmholtz, Robert Mayer, to
whom we owe the doctrine Of the con-
servaton Of energy-were or are al
most recluses in their devotion to their
vocation. Given a mind of ordinary
normal strength to start with, some
equipment of early training and q
healthy ambition, any young man may
reasonably hope to succeed if he has
the industry to pursue persistently the
purpose he has chosen. He need not
bother to ask himself whether he has
genius or has talent. The capacity for
hard work is true genius. He may be
quite sure, however, that unless his
ambition includes something outside
Of himself, the winning of it will give
him in the end no satisfaction. That is
one OF the curious laws Of life, one Of
the compensations that tend to equal
iEe In a way the conditions of existence.

sake Of money or power, you might just
as well be breaking butterflies.

Some troublesome questions are
doubtless destined 10 find solution
through the courts. In case which
has just been brought to trial in Indi-
ana, an association of master plumb
ers in Indianapolis, in order to secure
a monopoly of business, drew the lead
irg dealers into an agreement not to
cell plumbers supplies to any except
the members Of their own combine"
An outside plumber brought suit
against a dealer who had refused to
sell him the goods needed in his busi-
ness. The Judge decided that such
discrimination in trade is against pub
rc policy, and that the complainant
was entitled to damages for the incon-
yenience aid loss he had suffered.

At Yale. Charles Andrew Carver.

st Yale, Charles Andrew Carver, of
Chicago, has broken all records for
strength tests. A comparison of the
physical proportions Of young Carver
with tie best types Of ancient Greek
sculpture at the very best period shows
that the American undergraduate to-
day is as good man as the winner Of
the Oly1npian games twenty-three hun
dred years ago. Mr.. Carver could
stand up beside the "Discobolus" or the
Gladiator with the Strigil" without
being at any perceptible disadvantage.
The most gratifying circumstance in
connection with these strength records
is that they represent nothing acci-
dental or exceptional. but are the re-
suit Of 8 widespread niovemea; in ia
yor OF systematic physical culture
whicE has now been going on in this
country fer more than genera ton,
and which has developed q higher
standard OF strength-and presumably
OF health-among tens and hundreds
of thousands of our young people. The
atIletes of today are the healthy sons
CT healthy parents. They are steadily
improving the American physical type.
And IN estimating the outlook for our
physical development 1t must also be
borne In mind that the athletic girl
who is ''fsr finer, ripper and real than
ell the nonsense Of your stone ideaP'-
has also come to stay and is helping
Ter athletic brother in giving the solar
p!exus blow to the gloomy theory of
'degeneracy."

A queer, case came up in the Senate
recently, illustrative of the mixed rela-
ton which Cuba bears to the United
States. Mr. Stewart presented a petit
ton from certain citizens of that island
in regard to the landing of a cable
there, and moved that it be referred
regularly to the Committee on Military
Affairs. Mr.. Morgan, OF Alabama,
called attention to the Senate rule for
Kidding the presentation of petition
from citizens Of foreign country. Such
a petition must go through the State
Department. Mr.. Stewart argued that
these petitioners did not come under
tie head Of foreigners, because Con-
grcss had power to legislate on the sub
sect concerning which they appealed,
and this view finally prevailed.

In the morning and is not concluded un-
til much after twelve, and the Sunday
school of the Tabernacle branch is held
in the Peoples Palace at noon. 1t is said
that the rules for dismissal could be
made to apply to these members, against
whom there is no indictment except that
they cannot attend communion service
There is another set of people against
whom action will be taken, rumor has it.
1t will be remembered that at the begin
ming of the Tabernacle trouble some of
the members chose to make it a personal
grievance against Mr.. Scudder. These
members refused to attend communion
service when Mr.. Scudder was present to
serve communion. Among those were the
deacons, and Mr.. Scudder was obliged 10
take to the Tabernacle deacons from the
uptown church to serve communion. 1t
is said that the rules of dismissal could be
used to apply to these members and every
one is now agog to know whether it is the
intention to SO interpret the resolution or
whether it is to apply only to members
who have ceased all interest in the
church work.
A News" reporter saw Mr.. Frank Hall,
of the Board of Trustees, this morning,
in regard to the application of the resolu-
ton. He said he was not at the meeing
last night and he knew nothing of the
resolution but hec ould not see how it
could apply to Tabernaclers.
