PENNSYLVANIA.

PITTSBURG, November 5.-Ideal cleo
ton weather is being experienced in
Plttsburg and throughout western Penn
sylvania today. A fair early vote was
polled. The selection of a state treasurer
and several co-oficers Is being made.
PHILADELPHIA, November 5.-Clear
weather favored the voters In this cit,
today Because of the lack of interest
only a fair vote was polled during the
morning hours. There seems to be more
interest in the fate Of the $1O.OOO.OOO loan
proposition than in the contest for the
state or city Offices The reform element
is making fight to defeat the PROPOSE
ton. The polls opened at Z am. and will
close at pm. ,. 60.
Beautiful autumn weather prevails
throughout Pennsylvania, but the voting
for state treasurer. the only state Office to
be filed. is rather light. There are warm
contests in several counties where Judges
or other officers are to be elected. and in
these districts fairly heavy vote is being
polled- Otherwise 1t Is the quietest state
election in years.

Archbishop Murphy of Tasmania, the
record prelate who has just entered on his
ninety-third year. is a humorist and the
fact may account in some measure for his
remarkable longevity. He was held In
high esteem by the late Pope Leo XIII.
There was a bond of affinity between
them, as both received their miters from
Gregory XVI almost simultaneously. At
the age Of seventy-nine DR.. Murphy Wis
tied Rome. and at the close of a cordial
audience Pope Leo remarked: We'll. my
dear brother. 1 suppose this is our last
meeting In this world" But five years
later Dr. Murphy thought he would have
one more run around the globe. and pre-
sented himself at the Vatican as pert and
smiling as Of yore. He reminded Pope Leo
of his pessimistic prophecy, and slyly add
ed: so you see you are not infallible af-
ter ALL This is said to have been one of
the few occasions on which Pope Leo
