and afterwards was adopted by Mr..
Bryan, Mr.. Taft did not say that at

The Standard Oil Company di-
rectors have just issued statement
i'll which they appeal for sympathy
against the persecution" which
they are suffering at the hands of
the present administration, which
is the first Republican administra-
ton which ever had the nerve to
prosecute the great octopus Among
other things, their statement, al
though it does not actually state
falsehood, is SO worded as to con-
vey the impression that the report
of the Commissioner of Corpora
tions on the Standard was issued
in order to increase the fine i'm
posed by Judge Lands. The facts
are that the report of the Commits
sioner, although ready before, was
withheld from publication until
after Judge Lands had pronounced
sentence, in order that there might
be no appearance of trying to in-
fluence the court improperly. The
intimation of the Standard direc-
tors is characteristic of the work of
the high-priced press bureau which
this corporation is now maintain
ing and which has tried so sedu-
lously to deceive the people into
the belief that to the unselhsh
effort of the Standard is due the re-
duction i'll the price of oil which
has taken place within the memory
of present day consumers. 1t does
not seem likely, however, that the
most clever press work can arouse
much sympathy for the Standard
Oil Company.

Tour State With Travelling Schools.
Deputy Secretary Martin Has Completed Ar
rangements for Remarkable Agricu'tu-
raj Instruction.

Deputy Secretars of Agriculture
Martin has announced that he has
completed his arrangements to put
into operation his plan for the crea-
ton of travelling schools for the in
struction of farmers in horticulture
arbor culture, poultry, farming and
dairy work. He hopes to place one
i'll every congressional district in
the State.
These schools will be large vans
which will travel from place to
place, equipped with maps, books,
diagrams, pamphlets for distribu-
tion and chemical apparatus for
demonstration. They will be model
ed upon the New York State plan,
the work being done under the
farmers institute division, it being,
in fact, farmers school on wheels.
The first four wagons are almost
ready and will be placed in the con-
gressional district comprising Mont
gomery, Chester, Adams and Brad
ford counties. AS rapidly as other
wagons are equipped they will be
placed. The addresses will be de-
livered at separate meetings from
the wagons their routes being an
nounced and advertised before
hand.
A complete corps of instructors
has been selected for the first wa
gons among whom are some of the
most learned men in the country.
If the plans of Secretary Martin
are realized there will be tour
through this and adjacent valleys,
as we'll as every other agricultural
section of the State, next spring.

BEER AND CIGARS BOTH ILLEGAL
Candidates Cannot Treat While Seeking Votes
Says Erie County Court.

In a sweeping opinion handed
down by Judge Walling, Of the
court of common pleas, at Erie, it
Is declared that Mayor Michael Liep-
bel, Jr., OF that city, is serving lille
gally in Office, and application will
be made to the attorney general to
have him ousted all for election
cigars and beer.
The case is a peculiar one, as a
feature of the opinion is that the
'olrt holds the giving of cigars or
living of drinks by the candidates
- his representatives for campaign
=. .rposes, is violating the corrupt
practices act.
The matter has been in litigation
for some time and created interest
throughout the State. Mr.. Liep-
bel was accused of securing his
election through fraud, and charges
to this effect were made against
him by a number of leading citi-
zens.
During the trial the Mayor bit.
terly fought the proceedings and it
looked for time as if the opinion
would be in his favor; but, contra
ry to expectations, the decision
confirmed the allegations set forth
by the complainant.

A Magazine Worth Getting Acquaint-
ed With

The publishers of Libpine0Hs
Magazine report most gratifying
increase in its circulation during
the past summer-though the Sum-
mer months are season when the
circulation of periodicals usually
shows a falling off. Libbmeokfs
good showing is probably due to
the exceptional quality of the fic-
ton which has appeared in it of
late. The September number shows
no let-up in the efforts its publish
ers are making to please the public.
1t opens with novelette, which is
sure to attract attention both for
its own intrinsic merit and on ac-
count of the author. Carolyn Wells.
Miss Wells has Won an enviable
reputation for her humorous work.
and now proves that she can write
serious fiction just as we'll as that
Of more frivolous type. The
novelette, is entitled "a Chain of
Evidence" and the plot is based on
murder mystery which we be-
leave to be unique in fiction, al
though scientists affirm that the
possibilities thereof are by no means
exaggerated. How the mystery is
solved and the criminal entrapped
forms narrative that is so absorb
ingly interesting that the reader
will feel genuine regret when he
comes to the end.
A notable contribution among the
shorter stories is Elsie Singmaster's
"The Long Courting of Henry
Kumerant," a Pennsylvania Ger
man story in which humor and
pathos are adroitly commingled.
Captain Lloyd Buchanan's offering
is tragic sketch of the Boer War,
entitled "The Reporter Who Made
a Story" "You," by Prince
Vladimir Vaniatsky, is love story
of singular sweetness and charm.
"The Passing" by Jane Bel6eld,
is an emotional monotone of rare
beauty. VI It's KIND, II IS perfect.
"The Girl from Tres Posos," by
Elliott Flower, is tale of love and
adventure in the Southwest. May
Harris's "The Sophisticated Mr..
Lettredge" is fresh, dainty. and
mirth-provoking.
Two essays of exceptional quality
are Queen Dolly" by La Sale
Corbell Pickett, and "Shelley," by
George L. Knapp.
Other brief essays are Gas to
Child Labor Agitation" by George
Allan England "Pessimism in
Modern Fiction" by Sarah D. Up
ham and "The Animal Story"
by f. l.. Sabin.
Some tuneful verse and the usual
complement of jests, jingles, and
anecdotes, complete the number.
