Hand blackmailers' notice upon Sena
tor Penrose that unless he withdraw
Mr. Tener within As hours it would
publish certain exposures to prove the
latter's unfitness for the governorship
Aside from the fact that Senator Pen.
rose has neither the power nor the
authority to withdraw Mr. Tener and
that the miserable creatures making
this threat knew Mr.. Penrose would dc
nothing of the sort, the effect of this
preliminary publication was to sub.
ject Mr. Tener to grave suspicious
without redress or the opportunity tc
defend himself for two whole DAYS
during a critical stage OF the state
canvass. Here was the real infamy
OF this wretched sensationalism
though the story as it finally appeared
is hardly less shameful in construc
ton
THE whole affair. however, turn:
out TO be flash in the pan" There
is nothing TO show either culpability
or wrcngdoing, unfitness or dishonesty
on MIR. Tener's part"
Upon every hand citizens are de
nounCing the authors of the attack
and the fact has been demonstrated
that the unwaTranted criticisms have
helped rather than hurt Mr.. Tener il
his canvass for the governorship.
Bitterly resenting the work OF the
journalistic mud-slingers, Republicans
everywhere are evincing a keen inter.
est in the campaign and are deter
mined to emphasize their contempt for
the slanderers by rolling up great
vote for Mr.. Tener and the full Repub
hcan ticket on election day.
From the methods now being re
sorted to by the Keystone Party man
ayers almost anything may be antici
pated in the way OF despicable cam
paigning in the closing days of the
canvass. The masked man with still
letto is abroad and Mr.. Tener has been
picked as the victim. Every conceiv.
able form of malice and venom will be
employed in the desperate game tc
elect Berry governor.
These men recognize the strength
OF Mr. Toner with the people and they
are driven to desperation and thug.
gerry in their mad attempts to stem
the tide of popular sentiment that is
sweeping Mr.. Tener on to victory.

death penalty. The day came and the
man was taken to the place of execu-
tion. Six members of his regiment,
armed with rifles. one of which con-
tanned a blank cartridge, took their
places as executioners. The mans

CROSSES STREET LIKE CHILD
Dog Puts Paw In Mistress Hand
When Dcdging Traffic.

A dog that carries his mistress bag
and one that carries his masters news
paper or cane have been familiar sights
to New Workers on Fifth avenue. A
dog that crosses the crowded street
walking close beside his mistress with
his paw in her hand has not been seen
often enough to cease to attract at
tention.
Mistress and dog regularly cross
crowded thoroughfare in this way. paw
in hand, close together. People watch
them as they stand together on the
curb waiting for a chance TO cross.
With perfect unconcern they start
forth side by side when the chance
comes. When the opposite curb is
reached the dog drops TO a quadruped
once more.
