Active Republicans from different
counties of the state who were in at
tendance at the meeting Of the Repub-
lican state committee and the state
convention of the League of Clubs last
week report that there is an unusually
healthy spirit shown in the party or
ganization of Pennsylvania.
1t is noticed that there are more
young men taking a hand in the af-
fairs Of the party than heretofore,
and that they are destined to exercise
q more potential influence in the or
ganization than ever before.
The visits of Vice Presidential Can.
didate Fairbanks, Senator Foraker and
other speakers of national reputation
to this state have been productive of
much good Colonel Wesley r. An.

many years is quoted as saying that ie
does not recall a time when so many
young men figured so conspicuously
In the party organization.
Senator Foraker seems to have struck
a popular chord with his speech at the
State League convention. This was
delivered at so late an hour that it was
not given publicity in the newspapers,
but few quotations from it will show
that the distinguished senator from the
! Buckeye state has lost none of his
originality or his fighting spirit.

CONDITIONS IN PHILIPPINES.
Governor Wright Deprecstes Agitation
Of Idea of Inoe endence.

OF Idea of lnosa endence.
Washington, Sept 27, - President
Roosevelt is in receipt of letter from
Governor Luke Il. Wright of the Phil
ippines In which he discusses frankly
some of the conditions which he en-
counters. Under date OF Aug. 15,
General Wright wrote in part;
The effect of the continued discus
zion as to the capacity Of the Filipino
for self-government and his immedi-
ate or ultimate independence is hav-
ing its effect here and makes our task
more difficult than it otherwise would
be. These people have their full share
of ambition and vanity, and they also
have their full share Of reckless, half
formed characters who are ready for
intrigue in any direction which prom
ises them profit or power. 1t is this
class which has largely given force
and direction to the Aglipayan move
Eent and has recruited its ranks from
The ignorant and dangerous clements
in this general connection | may
say to you as a matter Of information
that the agitation in the United States
for Filipino independence and the
spoken and written utterances OF
prominent men there who are urging 1t,
are all brought here and published In
the native newspapers and are being
made the text for editorials insisting
that the Filipino people are now ready
to become an independent nation.
THE effect of all this is distinctly
injurious. Its tendency is to restore
the influence of the old insurrection
leaders and to make them active In
preaching the old propaganda This
in turn has the effect of demoralizing
and weakening the more conservative
and thoughtful Filipinos who fear that
il they speak out as they really think
they would be considered the enemies
OF their people and lose their prestige
with them. Those Of the most prom
inent and best educated and who
naturally have their ambitions, are In
clined to Join in the general cry"

Especial Correspondence
Harrisburg, Sept. 81
Judge Parker's letter of acceptance,
like his speech to the committee of the
Democratic convention. fell very fiat
Il did not arouse enthusiasm in his own
party, and among Republicans it was
accepted as another evidence of his
unftness for the presidency. The Dem.
ocratic candidate for president presents
no new issues, and he has failed to fa-
vorahly impress the people on anything
he has to say on any subject.
In Pennsylvania, where there are so
many veterans of the civil war and
so many sons of veterans and widows
OF old soldiers. the attitude of the
Democratic candidate on the pension
issue will cost him thousands of votes.
Parker and his party declare that
"the protective tariff is robbery" and
would let down the bars to foreign i'm
portations at the expense of American
manufactured products and would thus
deplete the national treasury, as well
as close the American manufacturing
plants They thus drive the working
men away from them.
Parker fails to take positive stant
on many OF the great issues and leaves
the voters in doubt as to what he woul,
do on questions of grave import to tn,
American people.
Roosevelt has attracted the younl
men to him by his candor and patriot
ism.

The Sleepers
By Edmund Gale JeUett

They brought John Rardin to my
house three days ago, along toward
evening. He had been found lying
unconscious beside the road a short
distance from the town.
I found upon examination that two
ribs were broken and he had probably
sustained severe internal injuries.
Consciousness returned to him last
night for the first time.
At about three o'clock this morning
I returned from a patient. AS | came
through the hail. l heard him speak.
/ took a lamp into his room and went
to his bedside.
Doctor" said he, Il must tell you
my story. There are other lives to
save
sat down by the bed to listen. He
began:
1T was about five o'clock in the
afternoon, that l was making my way
down the gorge, when l caught the
smell of smoke. l stopped and looked
about me in surprise. Sure enough,
little streak of smoke seemed to come
out of the mountain, little to wind
ward. While l hesitated, man
stepped from behind a big rock that
seemed to lean against the mountain,
and called out: Hello, stranger, come
up and have some supper with us!
The smell of the smoke had awakened
my hunger, and l accepted his invita-
ton.
MY host was rather understood and
past middle age, with dark brown
skin and an exceedingly bright eye.
He gave his name as Langdon, and
led me to a cave, the entrance to
which was partly hidden by the great
rock.
LAS l approached, dog came growl-
ing at my heels, but he was called
off. Two men were in the cave, en-
ployes of Langdon. They were get
ting supper. AS 1 became accustomed
to the gloom of the cave, / noticed it
had the appearance Of an artificial
room. How far it extended into the
mountain l could not see, for par
tition of logs was built across it some
thirty feet from the entrance.
THE entrance itself could be closed
by means of few hewn planks.
Along one side of the cave were
four rude cots; on the other side a
roughly made table. Evidently the
place had been occupied some time.
ITO make long story short, Lang
don told me he had Staked claim
not far from the cave, and | agreed
to work for him for three dollars a
day.
After supper L felt unusually
drowsy, and wondered if the air of
the cave wasn't the cause of it. The
other men were evidently affected in
the same way. Langdon noticed it
and said. IF you feel sleepy, you'd
better go to bed So we turned in

Young Journalist Took Col. Watterson
TOO Literally.
Col. Henry Watterson, the editor,
believes in good English, and not only
writes it himself, but tries to get his
young men tc write it also.
A bright young fellow who went to
report a national convention with
Col. Watterson turned in an article
one night that was loosely written and
somewhat slangy.
The colonel read it with portentous
froVs1s. Here, here, young man." he
said, this will never do You must
Improve your STYLE"
What can l do to improve it, Colo
nel?" the young man askd.
Read, sir, read; read books
Eyes, Colonel, but what books?"
Read Thackeray; start with Pen
Dennis ="
That night there was much excite
ment. Important news developed. Col
Watterson waited for his young mans
report. 1t came to be T. o'clock at
night, and he had not submitted a
line. The colonel started on a search
and found the young man in his room
with his feet on a table, smoking a
cigar and reading a book.
Here, sir" shouted the colonel,
what are you doing? Where is your
article? You have written nothing
that l can find. What are you doing
here loafing in this manner while the
paper is waiting for the news?"
why, colonel the young man re-
piled with panied surprise, Il am car

The Way to Catch a Man.

Supposing that you meet n man,
And like him for a fact.
How are you going TO lead him on
To the proposing act?
1t takes lot of tact!
This is a fact,
Don't write him notes. or telephone,
But make him wonder why
You let him utterly alone
To pine, and wait, and sigh;
Leave him to die,
Or even cry.
And write you notes each day.
And tell, you that you are so slick"
He cannot stay away.
You must act gay,
And simply say:
"YOu are a villain, but your art
Is useless here, beware.
You cannot break my tickle heart,
Nor turn my golden hair!
Try, If you darei
l do not care!'
And by this time he's on his knees;
The tears drop from his eyes:
He begs for you TO take MIN, please;
With you his heaven lies!
Don't feign surprise!
1t is unwise!
Now when you get him. make him walt,
Don't fall into his arms, not yet!
A fish will bite the fyest bait.
And that's the fish you'll get!i
Don't kiss him yet,
Lest he forget!

ton, and sought his companfan. He
was in the same condition, and mad
dening horror possessed me.
Il shouted. No response but the
echoes returned three times. AS /
waited l began to realize how much l
needed a<natch to relight the candles.

the sleepers and found no matches.

There was yet one chance of find
ing matches. My instructive fear of
the dead was overcome by thu greater
horror of those two helpless sleepers-
dead in life-hopelessly doomed, for
the master mind had gone out, and
there was none could waken them.
made my way back to Langdon and
found matches in a pocket.
"One by one l scratched them on a
stone. l obtained a slight phosphor-
escent glow-not one would burn;
they were wet.
Il wiped my hands on my handker-
chief and threw, it away.
Then an insane terror seized me.
Out OF there! anywhere! Oh, for the
light!
MY hand touched a pick. grasped
it, and felt my courage return as l
rose to my feet.
Carefully 1 felt my way along the
wall, till l came to what was, as
nearly as 1 could Judge, the opening
through which we had entered the
chamber.
Il thought only of the men behind
me and the open sky somewhere
ahead.
AT times fearful sense of uncer-
tainty as to whether l was in the
right way came over me, and short
ened my already labored breathing.
AT length 1 came into a larger
chamber. l could touch neither wall.
Was this the river bed? 1 found the
wall to the right and followed it,
keeping to the right. l remembered
| had kept to the left on coming in.
Once l became desperate with the
fear that l had missed the quarried
passage. l turned back, and felt of
the wall with my hands. Not finding
it, turned again and kept the wall to
my right. How long 1 had wandered
l do not know, when faint sound ar
rested my attention. I listened. The
dog-it was the dog. In moment
more 1 came upon the passage. Above
the frightened bowling Of the dog
became conscious of some other sound
"a steady rumbling. The dog
crawled whining to my feet.
THE rumbling increased to a roar,
the mountain trembled. 1 rushed to
the entrance. tore aside the barricade
and sprang out into the starlight.
Then came the avalanche-which
hurled me to the spot where 1 was
picked up unconscious

"At the supper table Langdon be-
gan to suggest various things to us.
Ny fellow laborers were very suscept-
them under control.
Have some more pork and peta-
:oes, said Langdon. l took more.
Isn't it just as well to eat your pork
with your fingers?' l ate my pork
with my fingers.
Time to quit and get to SLEEP
again We went and lay down Cd
the cots, while my heart beat wildly
with excitement.
Without arousing his suspicious,
had succeeded in keeping free from
his power.
''Langdon quickly covered up the
remains of the supper, put the barri-
cade across the cave entrance, and
then went to the back of the room.
Come, get your TOOLS he said.
Il followed my companions through
a door in the log partition at the back
of the room. Langdon, who carried a
lantern, gave each man a pick, ham,
mer and cold chisel. Then he led the
way back into the darkness and or
dered us to follow.

three hundred feet, when the lantern
suddenly moved to the left and disap-
peared, and at the same time the
command came, Turn to the left al

channel of a subterranean river, for
we occasionally came upon pools Of
water.
I'VE followed the river channel for
a quarter of mile, l should judge,
when Langdon led us again to the
left, into very narrow, tortuous
passage.
Finally Langdon stopped with the
exclamation, Here it is, and 1 be-
came aware that we had entered a
large chamber. Work here he Or
dered, as he lighted a candle and set
it on great quartz rock, which
showed here and there, glints of gold.
Il set to work with my cold cLisel
getting out the nuggets. The others
were likewise set to work.
'Langdon went to the wall, and
having selected jutting piece of
gold bearing quartz proceeded by
means of hand-drill to make hole
preparatory to blasting.
Now that several candles were
burning, 1 could see the opposite wall
of the cavern about fifty feet away.
THE wall near us presented a mag
nificent sight. Along it's side ran a
seam of quartz which cleaned here
and there with the yellow metal.
AT my feet was mass of broken
rock from which the gold had been
taken. I noticed among the splinters
