Our people will learn something
about the makeup of rugs if they fol-
low the rug guessing contest, now on
at the Leader Department Store.
Like everything else, there are two
sides to rug-a face and back.
The face is composed of pieces of yarn,
called "tufts." Set on end, this gives
the velvet appearance to such goods.
The particular rug, to be given to the
successful guesser, is a nice bottle
green centre, with highly ornamental
border. 1t is made of mohair, a
rich, glossy fibre, and is a copy of the
famous Ta5riz rugs which sell for
from $1,000 90 to $25oo.oo. 1t will
prove a desirable covering for any
floor in Bloomsbury.

To the Democratic Voters of Columbia
County

On behalf Of the Democratic Or
ganization as we'll as all the orga-
nizatiors for reform i'll Pennsylva-
MIA I want to take this opportunity
to thank you for the good results in
this county of the election held
November 5.
The returns are most gratifying
and show that a strong sentiment
prevails in this county among all
parties for Reform i'll the admins
tration of the state affairs.
Owing to the small percentage of
the vote polled throughout the
county the majority for the reform
movement was not as great as
might have been expected; but for
the vote polltd the showing made
has far exceeded the expectations
of all parties.
The county has never given a
larger vote for the reformation of
State affairs than we had al this
election.
We therefore trust that the work
so we'll begun will be continued
and that the fight for reform in this
state will continue until the people
in this Commonwealth will again
possess their political freedom.
Very respectfully,
CHRISTIAN A. SMALL,
County Chairman.

Some of the Causes that
Helped to Defeat the
Fusion Ticket.
DEFEAT IN REALITY A VICTORY.
The Reduced Maiori.y-The Defeat Of Rirq
Candidates Over the State and the Wp.
ing Out Of the Donneliy Ryan m
mex Of the Quay Machine
Causes OF Rejoicing.

Harrisburg, Nov.-The smoke
of battle has cleared away and we
can now clearly see the results Of
the conflict. Many contests have
been waged with ballots as well as
with bullets in which defeat has in
reality been victory. Such was
the struggle on the 5th Of the
present month.
The voters Of the state who place
principle above party were so fully
conscious OF being in the right that
they counted on victory, not being
able to comprehend how an honest
intelligent people could endorse all
the infanly of the last Legislature
and the flagrant corruption in Phil
adelphia. They felt that bribery
and perjury were so common and
so fragrant as to disgust enough
Republicans to drive the machine
out of existence; and hence the
first news Of defeat caused them to
feel keenly the humiliation of being
defeated in worthy cause by un-
worthy men. On a more careful
survey of the situation, however,
the result is seen to be much more
of victory than defeat and affords
grounds for renewed courage and
activity.
THE REDUCED MAJORITY.
Instead of over IIo, 900 majority
which the machine had two years
ago it comes out this year with less
than 49, 900, all of which and 49,
900 more was secured in Philadel-
phia and Pttsburg by the intimida-
tion of voters, repeating, personal
ing and all the corrupt devices
which the machine has used for
years when necessary to secure a
majority. One more such victory
will drive the machine out of bust
ness.
There isn't much doubt that a
full vote this year would have re-
suited in an overwhelming defeat
for the ring ticket. Usually the
majority party gains by full vote
but the reverse would have been
true this year. There are tens ol
thousands of Republicans in the
state who are Disguised at the high
handed outrages of their party
bosses and who were willing thai
the party should suffer the penalty
Tor its conduct and be defeated al
the polls. They thought this re
suit would be accomplished by theiI
staying at home and hence they
did this instead of going to the poll.
and voting as their judgment die
tated.
THE IDOLATRY OF PARTISANSHIP
The average man has sort o
idolatrous regard for his politica
party and even when he knows i
Is as corrupt as Hades he still hesi
tates about voting for the othe,

DR.. Silas c. Swallow was on
Wednesday of last week convicted
of falsehood by committee of the
Central Pennsylvania Methodist
Conference, and suspended from the
ministry of the church. The ex-
pulsion is the result of a publica-
tion in the Pennsylvania MetHOdiSt,
of which DR.. Swallow is editor, of
certain damaging articles to Rev.
Charles V. Hartzel, pastor of the
Vine Street Methodist Church, who
preferred the charges.
DR.. Swallow was the Prohibition
nominee for State Treasurer in
1897, and the Prohibition and Good
Government candidate for Governor
in 1898. He was the presidential
nominee of the Christian Advocate
party last November and was
strongly supported for the presi-
dental nomination at the National
Prohibition Convention at Chicago,
in 1000.

word of further specifications. Others
bear names without Typographical

Mrs. Baumgarten's place"-no town to

SHOOTING IN SCOTLAND.
An Immense Sum Expended Annual
~ In This Form of Sport.

An Immense Sum Expended Annual
~ In This Form Of Sport.
AS to the sums spent on shooting
In Scotland. so large is the total that
it is difficult matter to arrive even
at an approximate estimate. In Perth.
shire alone there are 465 shootings, of
which about four-fifths are let to ten
ants and bring in about E15OOOO q
year, or an average Of f40O a year,
which seems about fair estimate if
1t be borne in mind that this is an ex-
pensive country and that so of it's best
shootings bring f35, 900. or an average
of f7O0 year. In the whole Of Scot
land there are about 1000 shootings.
and as each of them must at least en-
ploy one keeper and one gillie during
the shooting season some estimate
may be formed Of the money expended
In wages and the number Of people
employed.
In the deer forests and on the larger
shootings there will often be from four
to six men permanently engaged and
from six to eight others working for
the shooting season only. In a well
known forest where once spent many
pleasant days there were three for
esters, three gillies and three pony men
out each day. On the grouse ground
there were three keepers, with three
underkeepers, q kennel man and two
carriers going to and from the nearest
railway station, total Of IS men and
five horses, not to mention the ponies
kept for riding into the forest and
those kept to carry grouse panniers.
On this property three rifles could stalk
each day, while three other parties of
two each could shoot grouse, or the
six could combine for driving.-Cham-

- Peculiar Disease That Was killed
VI ~ yentilation.
Il In the tight between the Monitor and
-Merrimac It was found that there was
not sufficient air In the turreted steam
-er for the crew and that the suffocatine
gases generated by the explosion Of
gunpowder found their way below and
rendered 1t practically impossible for
the men to work. Necessity therefore
compelled the introduction Of some APP
paratus for artificial ventilation.
The old methods in vogue for hun
>dreds Of years had been retained even
under the new conditions and but for
the striking exhibition Of direct inter-
ference with fighting capacity would
have remained for many years longer.
In the Monitor was placed a rotary
blower, worked by steam. Air was
thus drawn from one half of the steam
er through q system Of pipes and
forced into the other. Various changes
were made in later ironclads Of this
period. In some the air was drawn
down the turrets and forced through
out the vessel, thus rendering them
more than ever liable to suffocate the
men below in battle, while in others the
supply was obtained through armored
cylinders and forced out through the
turrets.
It was in the early ironclads that a
peculiar disease developed which, be-
ing confined to those vessels, was soon
designated ironclad fever. In this af-
lection the initial symptoms were
much like those of typhus, but in a
short time severe occipital pain was
followed by complete aphonia and this
by coma and death. The introduction
Of ventilating appliances caused the
disappearance of this singular disease,
and in time these metal boxes. almost
entirely submerged, came to be regard
