OCEAN CITY. Md. August %. 1900.
The season is in full swing. Last Satur-
days trains brought crowd, many of
whom had come to stay for some weeks.
The tides have been more than usually
high and the crowds Of batheG find 1t no
play to keep their equilibrium. Tuesday
we enjoyed view not to be forgotten In a
lifetime-a sight to inspire the brush OF the
marine artist. From early morning the
wind blew a terrific gale, and the waves
dashed the beach 50 as to completely alter
its shape: what was a shelving plain the
day before is today q high embankment.
Crowds walked up and down enjoying the
mad froHc. and 1t was laughable to see
what hasty retreats had to be beaten under
the flying spray. Wednesday morning arose
glorious and calm, silencing the croakers
who foresaw the sure end of the season.
We now feel that the usual August storm"
has passed, and the sportsmen anticipate a
rich September.

PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS.
Speeches by Mr.. POwderly and Ex-
Representative DUNCAN.

Speeches by Mr.. POwder1y and Ex-
Representative DUNCAN.
The capacity of Costello's Hall was test
ed last night by members of the Pennsyl-
yania State Republican Association, who
gave enthusiastic reception to speeches
made by Mr.. I. V. Powderiy, commits
siCner of immigration, and ex-Representa-
tive Irwin DUNCAN of Ohio. President s.
R. Strattan occupied the chair. At the
business meeting, which preceded the
speaking Mr.. Strattan, Charles A. Ecker
and w II. Bayly were elected delegates to
the convention of the Pennsylvania state
League of Republican Clubs. to be held
September Is. in Philadelphia, and fourteen
new members were admitted.
Mr.. Powderly spoke but briefly, but pre-
dicted the election of Mckinley and Roose-
welt as being certainty. Mr.. DUNCAN De-
gan by saying he had been an ardent DEM
ocrat until within the past year and half
but had joined the republican party be
cause he could have no sympathy with
Organism and anti-expansion. The demo-
cratic cry against expansion ana the Slde
show called imperialism were, he declared
only put forward to brighten the timid, but
both subterfuges were absurd. He said
the democratic show of sympathy for the
Beers was simply a pretense with whfch 10
capture the Irish vote, and regarding the
assertion that there was an Anglo-Ameri-
can alliance he declared the only alliance
was one of business and trade. As an
Irishman, he had no fears OF a closer
coalition than that business alliance, and
as England is the best customer for all
products that the United States has. he re-
garded the compact as one greatly to be
desired. He believed, he said, that under
the existing relations between England
and the United States. Ireland is more
certain of home rule than she would be II
this country and Great Britain were to be-
come antagonists, with or without open
war.
The. association adjourned to meet in
two weeks, but before doing so passed
resolutions commencing the action of the

some few years ago an unfortunate cis-

During the winter l and my ia IL
hy OF six were taken with la grippe.
The disease was very prevalent at that
time in the village where l resided,
nearly everyone being sick with it,.
Our doctors treated itas best they could,
bat were very unsuccessful in the treat
ment of it. As soon as my family were
taken sick went to the drugstore and
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na, and we
AN took it according to the directions
given on the bottle; and although our
cases seemed TO be more than usually
violent in the outset, yet our recovery
was prompt, and we were all well much
sooner than those who were treated by
the regular physicians.
Many people died of this la grippe dur
ing this epidemic, and few if any, were
sick so short a time as myself and
family. After we were all we'll we had
one bottle of Pe-ru-na left.

MORE ABOUT THE SITUA-
TON.

We closed our account of the
evidence in the case against Caleb
Powers with Wharton Golden on
the stand and in the hands Of EX-
Governor John Young Brown.
Golden held his own with the EX-
Governor and not link in the
chain Of evidence was broken.
1t was a case Of experience, brains
and a well trained mind against
facts, and facts stood the crucial
test,
Governor Brown was penetrat-
ing and searching wherever he
was led to believe the witness
might be weak, but such attacks
but strengthened the Common
wealth's evidence. Defense press
ed witness to give name of the
man to whom Powers turned over
the key to his office on that eventful
day, but he could only give a de-
scription. The Commonwealth
had knowledge Of the man and
would not have made any arrest
lad it not appeared that he was
arranging to shake Frankfort dust
from off his sandals. 1t turned
out later that this man was a ste
nographer in Secretary Of States
office. He was subsequently ar
rested and notwithstanding a
speedy trial was talked Of when
he ran up against it there was a
change of mind and Mr.. Youtsey
tarries a prisoner. Golden's i'm
plications are backed by interwov-
en- circumstances and there may
be others who will have to endure
prison life for a while and may be
a far more excessive punishment.
From this and other evidence it is
expected that surprises will be the
result of the grand jury investiga-
tons now in session. Democrats
shall continue in strict accord with
law and will use their best endeav-
ors to avoid any clash.
