dates for great coach excursions to St.
Louis via Pennsylvania Railroad, ac-
count of the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position. The rates for these eXcur-
sions have been fixed at such low

popular.

WANT PARTY SQUARE
ON BALLOT CUT OUT

The fate of the party square" on
the official ballot of Pennsylvania de-
pends on the ultimate decision in a
case argued this week in Philadelphia.
For eleven years the voters of this
state have been permitted to vote any
of the regular party tickets by single
cross mark in a square or circle on
the ballot, while those who desired to
exercise discriminating Judgment as
to individual candidates of various
parties have been compelled to mark
separately each name on the ticket
In the proceeding pending in court
it is charged that the party square"
is violation of Section of Article |
of the state constitution, which stipu-
lates that elections shall be free and
quail. "

Fourth of July Precautions.

1t is said that during the Celebra
tion of Bunker Hill day in Boston last
week three hundred persons were in
iured through the use Of toy pistols,
firecrackers and other explosives, and
that this has revived talk about the
folly of this kind Of fun.
Whatever Boston may or may not
do, this comes as warning to every
town as to use OF toy pistols OH the
Fourth of July. Wherever statutes,
ordinances or police regulations pre-
vent it these engines of death should
| be eliminated and those who sell them
| should be arrested. The freCraCkers
that contain high explosives should be
treated in the same way, together
W ith the sellers.
any kind of pistol OH the Fourth or
during any celebration. The man who
uses any explosive carelessly-eVen to
the smallest recracker-should be ar
rested. 1t is not necessary to cut off
the use of all makers of glad noises, but
their reckless use should be prevented
or stopped. The police of Harrisburg
will prevent the sale or use of toy
pistols on the Fourth. That should be
hint to the police Of all other cities.

HOW TO SEE FAIR AT
A MINIr1UM OF COST

Seeing the Worlds Fair can be made
the least expensive of luxuries to Dan
Vile people if judgment is used in the
matter of expenditure 1t requires
only economical care to keep a visit
or's daily expenses down to the min
imum cost of living i'll any American
city, with few cents added for ad-
missions and the purchase of souven-
irs.
As in every city and under all cir
cumstauces the scale of hotel prices in
st. Louis has a wide range, but the
visitor has only to determine what
price he wishes to pay and reasonable
accommodation are easily procured. On
the European plan these rates run
from 80 cents to - a day, and meals
can be purchased at cost of from -
cents up.
Boarding houses, where both room
and meals can be had at from 50 to $40
week, are abundant in the most de
sirable residence district of st. Louis.
More than fifty temporary hotels have
been erected.
For the convenience of visitors and
to prevent impOsitions being practiced
upon them by INSCRIPTIONS landlords,
the Worlds Fair management has
compiled and published for free dis
tributiOn complete list of reliable
hotels and reputable boarding houses
where accommodations may be had.
There are more than $50 established
hotels in the city, and all of these have
entered into an agreement with the
exposition not to raise their rates.
Up to this time this contract has
been faithfully lived up to and with
the immense capacity OF all these ho-
tells combined the prices Of private
boarding houses have been satisfactor-
lily regulated. 1t is now not only posi-
bic to get accommodation Of most any
kind, but at the most reasonable figure.
With the restaurants the Worlds
Fair city and the Exposition are both
we'll provided and as the visitor is
mostly upon The 60 while in St. Louis
these are found more convenient than
the pretentious dining rooms of hotels
and private homes.

spectacle, Last Days of Pompeii, -
is controlled and managed exclusively
by Henry J. Pain, the famous pyro-
technist of London and New York
who is unquestiCnably the greatest fire
works manufacturer in the world. 1t
is not to be wondered at, then, that
such marvellous predetermined effects
are produced as are shown in his
Pompeii" spectacle. particularly in
the thrilling eruption scene of Vesu-
vius and destruction of the ancient
Roman city. But it is not alone in
pyrotechnical scenes that Pain sur
passes, for the gorgeous spectacular
and scenic features of Last Days of
Pompeii" have never been surpassed
by any open-air spectacle in America.
Thousands upon thousands of yards of
scenery, mounted on massive frames
and rolls, huge buildings, temples and
arches, covering an area of four acres
of ground. stand as a mimic represent
alton of the city Of Pompeii that lay
nestled at the foot of Mt Vesuvius. its
destroyer.
Following the destruction of the
city, which closes the spectacle proper
will come the principal event of the
night, the $1,000 display of Pains
beautiful Manhattan Beach fireworks
The management promises that this
display of pyrotechnics has never beel
equalied in this part of the state, anC
will be an exact counterpart, piece fol
piece, OF the famous Pain display!
shown nightly at their great display
at Manhattan Beach, New York.

\ long paragraph was adopted i'll
relation to reciprocity. Several votes
were taken on this subject and it was
reconsidered two or three times before
being finally agreed to. 1t is a de-
claration for commercial reCiproc-
ity, which is possible only under a
protective tariff and whenever re
oiprocity arrangements can be perfect
ed without injury to any industry.
The opposition to the reciprocity
plank was led by Mr.. Blythe, of Iowa,
Representative Dalzell and Senator

and Senator Foraker persisted i'll an
effort to secure the declaration. 1t
was urged that reciprocity had been
endorsed by previous platforms and
more particularly in the last speech OF
President Mckinley at Buffalo, and
had been followed by the present ad-
mimstration in carrying out the poll
cies of the Mckinley administration.
| More time was spent on this subject
| than on the remainder of the platform
and the opponents only consented to
agree when it appeared that the fight
might be taken into the committee on
resolutions and possibly before the
| convention As the matter stands now
the subcommittee will report unan-
imously, and it is expected its action
will be RATIFIED by the convention.
