GOVERNOR STONE IN CAMP
He Inspected Pennsylvania National
Guard On Battlefield Of Gettysburg.

Gettysburg, Pa, July 15-The feature
of the camp of the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard on the battlefield yester-
day was the arrival Of Governor Stone,
who will remain here for the rest of
the week The weather was very
warm but the soldiers stood it well.
The governor was met at the railroad
station in town by Adjutant General
Stewart and Lieutenant Colonel Elliott,
assistant adujtant general of the divi
sion. Accompanying the governor
were his secretary, Mrs. Stone, Miss
Jean Stone, Miss Watson of Williams
port, and Mrs. T. C. Gerwig.
Some idea of the size of the camp
may be gained by the fact that it took
the camps of the First and Second
Brigades. The commander-in-ch in
spected the Third Brigade during the
afternoon. The troops were at quarters
and the party was cheered by the SOL
diers as It rode through the grounds.
The governor was greatly pleased with
the appearance Of the men and the
camp.
Governors Day" will probably be
Friday. Secretary OF War Root and
Adjutant General Corbin are expected
to visit the camp on Friday. The Sec
retary will be rendered a review.

As a historian Judge Pennypacker
has shown with equal brilliancy. He
is clear, concise and entertaining
writer. Many of his monographs and
historical papers and addresses have
been translated abroad into German
and Dutch. His most imposing work,
possibly, is one recently issned and en-
titled the Settlement of German
town" Judge Pennypacker spent years
In gathering material for this work.
He went personally over the ground
with the result that it has found high
favor for its comprehensive, thorough
and accurate statements and descrip-
ton. Prince Bismark personally thank
ed Judge Pennypacker for his address
in the Academy Of Music, Philadelphia,
in 1888 on the Bi-Centenial celebration
of the beginning of German emiGration
to America.
Judge Pennypacker married on Oc-
tober 20, 1870, Virginia Earl, daughter
Of Nathan d. Broomall. His city resi-
dence is on North Sixteenth street,
Philadelphia, and his summer residence
at Schwenksville, Montgomery county,
Pa.
A great deal has been said and writ
ten by the opponents of Judge Penny
packer about his so-called "Eulogy of
Quay" and attempts have been made
10 belittle his candidacy on this ground.
The fact is that the paper referred to
was one of the ablest, most eloquent,
and most convincing arguments tor the
dignity and supremacy of Pennsylva-
MIA in the galaxy of states that was
ever written. The title of the paper
was Pennsylvania and Massachu-
setts," and its object was to demon
strate the supremacy of Pennsylvania,
and the fact that in every great his
torical crisis Pennsylvania had taken
the lead over many of her sister
states, and particularly Massachusetts.

The so-caled union party had another meeting
at Harrisburg last week and formed new or
ganlzation on another basis. The ticket named
before is 10 be withdrawn and convention held
to nominate IL new ticket. The object of the
Union party is to unite the labor organizations
into political body and lift into power some
defuuct politicians. These men hope to benefit
through to disturbed condition among the labor
ing people, hence this agitation for new party.
This is the old and oft repeated cry to reform
politics of designing demagogues, which never
accomplished anything and never will amount TO
anything. Parties come and parties g, and
those formed on the basis of political wrecks are
very short-lived at best.

Philadelphia, July 15.-The candi.
dacy of Judge Samuel w. Pennypack.
er for governor is bringing to the sur
face vast number of clever, inter-
esting and characteristic stories Of
his life. Men who have known him for
years never fancied that there was
bound up in his personality so much,
that, in any other man with less mod
esty. would have kept his name con.
tinually before the public.
Judge Pennypacker is not only a
learned and upright judge, but he is
an antiquarian, a member of a mum.
Der OF learned societies, the author of
a number of legal works. historian
Of the Pennsylvania Germans, a mem.
Der of the Grand Army of the Republic
and a member of at least half dozen
of the great patriotic and hereditary
societies of the United States. Above
all, he is cOmpaniOnable, modest
man, who has never presumed upon
his distinction in public or in private
life. A capital and characteristic
story OF his good nature was published
some time ago, as follows:
Judge Pennypacker's summer home
is out in Montgomery county, on the
banks OF the Perkiomen. 1t was owned
by his ancestors and was once the
headquarters of General Washington
The region around the Perkiomen is
very popular with fashionable Phila.

In 1887 Judge James T. Mitchell, Of
the Court Of Common Pleas Of Phila-
delphia county, was elected to the su-
preme court Of Pennsylvania. The fill-
ing Of this important place fell to the
lot Of Governor Beaver, who had been
greatly impressed by the eloQuence and
legal acumen of Lawyer S. w. Penny
packer, who had appeared before him
to plead the merits of certain meas
ure that had Just passed the legisla-
ture. He was accordingly appointed
Judge in place OF Justice Mitchell.
He was elected in 1889 to the same
position for term Of ten years, and
succeeded Judge John /. Clark Hare,
who had resigned as president Judge.
When the campaign of 1899 opened the
merits, fairness and ability of Judge
Pennypacker were so generally recog-

August of that year he received the
unanimous nomination Of Democrats
and Republicans and was reelected in
November for another term Of ten
years. At present he is president judge
of the Court of Common Pleas Number

first person convicted of murder in the
first degree in the City Hall, Philadel-
