Iican Clubs there is going to be a great
gathering in this city on the occasion
Of the reception and dinner to United
States Senator Matthew Stanley Quay
On the 14th inst The chances are that
they will have to stop receiving sub
scriptions to the dinner earlier than
was anticipated, as the capacity of
Horticultural Hall will be too small
20 accommodate all those who wish to
attend.
The reception, which will be given
on the same evening in the Academy Of
Music, will be one of the most bril-
liant and interesting functions ever
held in this state. Arrangements have
been made for the distribution of the
private boxes, so that the wives and
| other female relatives and friends of
the party leaders can have a chance to
witness the spectacle and listen to the
sloquence of those who have been in
vited to address the immense throng
which is sure to be there
Besides Senators Quay and Penrose,
among those who will make addresses
are Governor Stone, President Moore,
Of the State League of Republican
Clubs, and other we'll known Republi-
cans. These speeches will be made in
The Academy of Music.
While the dinner is being served in
The adjoining hall there will be a mu-
steal entertainment given in the Acad-
smy, for which very attractive pro-
gram has been arranged.
Information regarding cards of ad-
mission to the reception can be had by
addressing ]. Hampton Moore, care of
City Hall, Philadelphia, and about SUBJ
,criptions to the dinner from ]. Martin
Rommel, Betz Building, Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA NOT ENVIOUS.
| 1t is becoming evident that upon So
Der second thought many Philadel-
! phians believe mistake would be
made If the bill were passed for the
removal of the state capital from Har-
'isburg to Philadelphia.
There is no particular reason why
there should be a change from Harris
burg to Philadelphia" says the Phila-
| 1elphia Inquirer. "In these days of
! rapid railroad trains Philadelphia is
as easily reached from all parts of the
| state as is Harrisburg, and this city
would welcome the legislature, should
| It come here and erect a fine building.
| But Harrisburg has been the capital
| for many years, the interest of its cit
! Izens are largely involved in that fact,
| and to change the site would be great
hardship resulting in considerable pc
| cuniary losses to them. 1t is mucn
| better to let the capital remain where
| it is
"But one thing is certain. Pennsyl-
vanians do not care to put up with
barn for capitol building They have
| got pride enough to demand that their
state shall hold up it's head with the
| best of them. A start has been made
upon the new building. 1t Is true that
| 1t Is as yet a mere she'll, but this shell
ls composed Of iron and fire brick, and
in indestructible. What is needed is to
| give the rough brick exterior face of
| granite or of marble, to add on wings,
lear out all the temporary stairways
and f1imsy committee room furnishings,
and to turn out completed fire proof
| structure.
"The plans for the building are
known to all those who have taken the
trouble to look into Smull's Handbook.
The picture of the building as it will
ook when completed is familiar, and
there has been no attempt that has
amounted to anything to call the arch
tectural plans into question. For
P5,000,000 a noble structure of which
The entire state can be proud can be
provided, and this sum the senate has
agreed to.
LAS matter of fact, there is no par
.icular opposition to the expenditure
Of this amount, but lot of insurgents
who feel that 1t is incumbent upon
them to raise a racket about every
hing oppose the bill because under it
The governor is to name the commits
sioners who are to superintend the
building operations.
THE STATE MISREPRESENTE
Every patriotic Pennsylvania must
1eplore the latest contemplate tactics
Of the insurgent newspapers in seek
ing to create the impression that the
interests of Pennsylvania are being
neglected at the Buffalo exposition.
| The facts are that a commission of
some of the most representative men
Of the state has been appointed, an
appropriation of $35, 900 has been made
and there is already under way and
nearing completion a magnificent state
building located in one of the most at
:ractive sections of the exposition
grounds The building will be the
