The picnic held on the church grounds. will be their school studies, as their average after the examinations prior to the closing oC the school at the of the term, shows Anna had an average of 98 and Watkins 96. The latter also received a prize book for rapid progress in penmanship. The "kid glove" farmer of West Bristol first statement that confronted Senator Rice was to the affect that he was disregarding the party rales which allots the nomination by districts.

Senator Rice laughs at 4 this idea. He claims, in the first place, that there is no rule of that kind and that if any such thing is implied in the party laws it Has never been observed and is not applicable to the Senatorial nominations. Senator Rice in his statement to Republicans says that his friends have urged him to be a candidate and he cites his past record In the House and Senate to justify their demand and the confidence of the people. There Is no doubt as to Senator Rice's record and honesty of purpose while a member of the Legislature. The two things that are under consideration here are his known opposition to Quay and the State administration and the fact that it is the popular impression that the nomination belongs in the lower end.

Upon this latter question Senator Rice and his opponents would never agree and only a decision by the county convention would determine It to the satisfaction of all concerned. Whether it would Influence the coming convention is a matter of conjecture. As to Senator Rice's anti-Quay proclivities and opposition to the present State administration the thing cute both ways. If he is for Pennypacker he cannot be heralded as the candidate of the insurgent faction for the party will be united for Pennypaeker, who is the choice of Senator Quay. There will not be, and should not be, any faction in Bucks county this year.

Looking at the matter from both sides it would seem this way: Senator Rice will encounter a disadvantage in the generally accepted party rule governing the nomination. He has already been honored with office in both branches of the Legislature. By some stalwarts he will still be regarded as an insurgent. In his favor are these facts: He has an excellent record. He will command the support of former Independent Republicans.

There will be a hard fight among the other candidates. As to how the beam will tip in the end remains to be seen. An event in which society people were interested took place on Wednesday last when John B. Lear and Miss Helen James, both of Doylestown, were married in the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Robert M.

Labaree performing the ceremony. The large auditorium was thronged with nearly 400 guests. The chancel was beautifully decorated and the wedding was a very pretty one. The bride is a daughter of Mrs. Louis H.

James and the groom a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lear. Both are very popular. Mr.

Lear is engaged in business in New York City, where they will reside after a wedding tour in New England. An examination of candidates for appointment to the U. S. Military Academy took place here at the Fountain House on Tuesday afternoon followed by a cometitive examination Wednesday. Congressman Wanger was present and gave a dinner Tuesday evening to the gentleman conducting the examination, the candidates and other friends at the Hotel Pollock, which was a very informal and delightful occasion.

Commencement exercises at the National Farm School began on Saturday last and continued until Thursday, quite an elaborate programme having been pre- TULLVTOWM. The announcement of State Senator Hampton W. Rice that he will enter the lists in the contest next fall for the Sena- torship is being brushed aside by his opponents with the statement that theSen- ator is not ellgable because he comes from the middle district and the nomination belongs to the lower end. Mr. Rice, as a matter of fact, has the same rights as any other citizen to apsire to the Senate.

Neither is there anything in the rules for the of the Republican party in Bucks county that provide for the customary rotation of candidates among the three districts of the county. The eastern has simply been established by precedent, that Is all. And even though the rules provided for the customary rotation, it is very questionable whether they would stand against the decision of the Republican convention. Mr. Rice's position in the county today is similar to that of Mr.

Wagner six years ago, when he was nominated in tlia face of a strong sentiment In favor of the nomination coming to Bucks county according to long established precedent. The argument then used by the Bristol coterie, who then favored Mr. Wanger but whlce now is opposed to Mr. Rice, was that when jou have a good man in legislative halls it is bad policy to remove him for an untried man. Now Mr.

Rice is giving them a dose of their own medicine and just how it will suit them remains to be seen. No man who has represented Bucks county has a cleaner record than Hampton W. Rice. Anyone who has taken the trouble to make Inquiry will find that he has a strong following among the Republicans of the county who are not politicians. There is no doubt that he could strong man before the people and that if nominated he would attract a large independent vote in addition to the regulars.

If current reports are true there will soon be an end to the councilmanio fight. Should the rumor be true every citizen ef Tnllytown will be glad that this fight, which should never have occurred, will be ended and the interest of the borough will be properly attended to. Much 1m- portant legislation should be taken up by the council at once. It is expected that the Western Union Telegraph Company will have to abandon its poles along the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and will shortly want to flood the main street of the borough with telegraph poles from one end of the street to the other. In other localities the authorities receive so much' per annum for each pole and there is no reason why the borough authorities should not exact some penalty from this company, thus bringing a source of revenue from a wealthy corporation that can afford to stand the expense.

It is also claimed that the trolley company desires to have some legislation. The two above items with the proposed manufacturing plant which will probably located in the boraogh should be of importance for our borough fathers to get together. Oome, gentlemen, bury the hatchet and be men. George Miller, one of the most popular of Tullytown's citizens, died at his residence on Main street last Tuesday week, after a lingering illness. The funeral services were held last Friday afternoon.

The sermon was preached by Rev. B. F. Pittman, of the Christian church. The interment took place in Tnllytown ceme- Frank Latton and friend, of near Oroy- don, were Sunday visitors in this place.

E. TRIMBLE'S PERN'S MANOR. Farmers are busy gathering their turnip seed, which promises to be a fairly good yield. The frequent rains we have had of late gives the farmers a hard task to fight the potato bugs. Miss Jane Seidensticker, of Trenton, was a visitor at the home of her parents from Saturday till Tuesday.

June Is called the month of roses, perhaps that is one reason why there are more nuptial knots tied in June than In any other month. Ivlns Moon, while harrowing on Tuesday morning, had one of his horses seriously hnrt by falling on the harrow which caused a bad wound. A veterinarian was quickly summoned, who dressed the wounds and pronounced not necessarily dangerous. Joseph, son of Joseph Chapman, acted according to the words in (he Scripture, where it "it is not good for men to be alone," and took to himself a wife, which he found in Bertha, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

William Leedom, of the Manor. The knot was tied in Philadelphia on last Saturday. May happiness and prosperity go with them. On Wednesday, June 18th, I. Moon took a trip to Oatnden and while there he was married to young lady oi that city.

In the evening he brought his bride safely home. A number of his friends gathered and gave them some fine music in concert to celebrate the event, after which they were invited in the house, where they spent a pleasant evening together. FftLLSINOTON. William Davis, of Bristol, was here on a business trip on Monday. Charles Comfort and wife are in New York state for a short visit Barton, of Philadelphia, township while out driving with his colored coachman on the rlvec road, was seen executing some fancy gestures on Wednesday night in his efforts to lash a dog-with his whip.

As the dog was in no way interfering with him the motive must have been actuated by a spirit of viciousness seldom seen In this part of the township. CORNWELLS. Cornwells public school will close June 25tb. The P. S.

of A. lodge is having a very fine step built in front of their hall. A young sport of Oornwells shot at a crow and killed a valuable dog belonging to Mrs. Dungan. The Sorosis Olnb of Ladies gave a picnic at Charles B.

Vandegrift's home at Eddington on June 21th, TheEddington Band escorted the 2d regiment soldiers from Oornwells to the St. Francis Industrial School, where they are going to encamp a few days. Rain interfered largely with the bread, pie and cake sale which was to be held on the lawn of the Methodist Church last Saturday evening, yet a fair sum was realized despite the unfavorable conditions'. On Sunday evening, the regular service will be held in the church, beginning promptly at 7.15 and lasting one hour. Subject of the sermon "On the Race Course ol Life." Interesting and helpful service.

The pastor appeals especially to non-church-goers to be present this Sunday evening. Oornwells damp, No. 530, Bnatleton Camp, No. 32, and Taoony Camp, No. 356, Patriotic Order Sons of America, will meet for divine worship in th hall at Oornwells next Sunday morning at 10.30 o'clock.

Rev. William John Bawden, pastor of the Oornwells Methodist Episcopal Church will preach to the members of the camps. The service would be held in the Oornwells M. E. Church but the building is too small to accommodate the num- be that expect to attend.

Under these circumstances the pastor of the church very willingly consents to hold the service in the hall. The public are most oordl- 507 Bath Street. IOO04 E. BQRHEK, Optician. 0.

Prof. Faville, Dean of the institution, has tendered his resignation to take effect on July 1, a matter of regret with the management, as his efficient work in the beginning brought the school to its present high standard.

The class comprises six graduates. The commencement exercises of the Doylestown High Scnnol will take place this, (Thursday) evening in Lenape Hall. A large audience always assembles to witness this interesting event. There will be fourteen graduates, the largest class in the history of the school. Toe address to the graduates will be delivered by Dean Penniman, of the University of Pennsylvania.

The Sons ot Veterans broke camp last Thursday and by Saturday all had departed. The best feature of the week was the parade in which various military and civic bodies participated. The visitors appeared to enjoy their stay here and the citizens were glad to entertain them so it may be assurred that their presence was mutually pleasant and prott table. Register of Wills Fellman has appointed Charles S. Kratz, of New Britain township, as Deputy.

Mr. Kratz was formerly employed as a reporteron the Republican. He began his work as Deputy Register on Monday. Raxt Contrast. In a careful review of political conditions the country over, the Washington correspondent of the Boston Transcript undertakes to set forth the probabilities in regard to the next congressional elections.

"The prediction is rather freely made," he says, "that the Democrats will carry the next house; this is by no means an unusual estimate at this stage of the campaign, but," he adds, "it will not do for either side to relyon generalities in forecasting the coming congressional contest. It is different from any other that- has been fought since the civil war. There will be 886 representatives elected, of which 193 would be an even half. The south, not Including Maryland or West Virginia, will contribute about 118 Democratic The thirteen distinctly southern states will have, under the new appointment, 125 seats; the Republicans now have nine representatives from this belt, two each from Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee, and three from Kentucky." The correspondent estimates that the Democrats, to gain control of the house, must gain 25 seats in northern states, and, viewing the field as a whole, it appears to him doubtful if tery. Mr.

Miller was of New England birth and came to Tullytown to reside when a young man. He married Elizabeth Shafer, of this place. For many years previous to his last lingering illness he was employed Leedom's mill at Bristol. A widow and four children survive him, who are joined by many friends in mourning Mr. Miller's loss.

O. P. Chamberlain and A. R. Wagen- knight were visitors at the Review of the Sons of Veterans encampment at Doylestown on Thursday last.

While there Mr. Chamberlain did good work in fathering his candidacy in the fight for the legislature. The harvest season is on and the farmers are busy harvesting their grain and hay crops and while the outlook at the present time does not bespeak an abundant harvest, still the high prices will compensate for the smallness of the crops. Walter Carman, who has quite ill for several weeks is improving in health and will probably be able to return to work in a short time. The friends of Miss Carrie Oarlln, who has just undergone a serious operation, are rejoiced to hear that her health is improving.

Dr. Franc Conner, of Philadelphia, made a visit to Dr. Read on Sunday last, coming from Philadelphia it bis new Mrs. 0. B.

Norcross and Miss Norcross, of Philadelphia, were visiting in Tolly- town on Monday of this week. Miss Marion Burger, of Philadelphia, was the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Stanfleld Smith last week. A. R.

Wagenknigbt made a business trip to New York on Tuesday. Dr. Babcock, of Philadelphia, was visiting Dr. Read on Sunday last. Mrs.

L. Harvey Dan Held was presented with a handsome planp on Saturday last from the- warerooms of BlaaiusA Sons, Philadelphia, Banker Charles Smith, of Philadelphia, brought up on his One yaoht a number of gentlemen, members of the First Oity Troop, and wore the guests of Bromley Wharton, Eeq, on Sunday last. They had a delightful time and enjoyed the scenery along the banks of the Nesbamlny creek, which flows at the base ot the meadow at "Sunbury," the country residence of Mr. Wharton. "A rolling stone gathers no moss," is an old saying and a true one.

If a man Is a Democrat, let him be a Democrat, and we honor him for it. There is only one Republican party. Then if you are a Republican, be one. These Independents orlnsurgents are a lot of soreheads who ate trying to break up the "grand old man" and the "grand old party." Politicians who jump from one party to the other never amount to much and cannot be trusted. They are in the same footing as a soldier in an army who to the enemy's side.

He is then between two fires and held with suspicion thereafter. Be a true Republican or get out of the party. John Wanamaker became sore because he could not be a United States Senator and there will be lots of others. The Philadelphia Inquirer is authority for the statement that John Elkin is going to defeat Senator Penrose for the Senate if he possibly can. If Mr.

Elkin wishes to retain what little prestige he has, he bad better let Boies Penrose alone, forget his little grievances, take bis little medicine like a man, (tor he was beaten at his own game) and then he will be respected by the people. Then he should stand by the party nominees, work bard to help elect them, and at some future time his turn will come. Everything comes out all right to those who wait. Samuel Ooslin and wife, Jane, were married sixty years on June 6th. They are both in their 80's and in fairly health.

Mr. Qoslin has been established in the agricultural business at this place for over 45 years, ana is still in business. He built the first sausage chopper in this neighborhood many years ago for George Allen, of Bristol. He made several hundreds of the same and sent them to all parts of the west. A model of this chopper was made for Mr.

Gosiln by Joseph Oummons, of this place, was sent to New York and it became lost before he could get it patented. Pettinger of Philadelphia, a short time afterwards made about the same kind of choppers and became well-to-do. Mr. Qoslin has always lived economically, but has met with several business reverses and hasn't much of this world's goods, but has a good name, which is rather to be chosen than riches. He never used profane language, never used tobacco in any form and never used intoxicants.

To this he attributes bis longevity of life. He Is of Quaker origin and is kuown for his simplicity. When he disposes of machinery of any kind it is with the understanding that it will'be all right or no sale. He is well and favorably Icnown by farmers for miles around, sume of whom have dealt with him for almost a half century. A story is told by a customer who had purchased a reaping machine of him, and a few parts were to be delivered the next day.

It was quite a long distance to drive and was about dusk when he arrived. The farmer remarked that he had given him up but his wife said: "I did not, Mr. Goslin, for you HULMEVILLG, Mrs. Barton is visiting her son, Lewis. Charles MacOorkle spent Sunday In Burlington.

"A very heavy political tide would, of course, easily accomplish it; but whether that tide is coming may much be doubted. Tnls all depends upon the appeal which the antl imperialistic issue mojies to the American people." The Savannah (Ga.) News (Dem.) finds several things in nor of the Democrats that are worth noting: "One is that they are united, while the Republicans aro not harmonious respecting their Philippine policy, their policy In regard to lowering the tariff on Cuban products, and the president 1 action in respect to trusts and appointments. It is but reasonable to suppose tnat those who are dissatisfied with the administration will take the opportunity which the congressional elections present to express their dlsatl.iaction with it, feeling they can do so without endangering their party's control of the government. All things considered, therefore, the outlook for Democratic success it very encouraging." School Commenoement- Friends from all over Eastern Pennsyl vanla and New Jersey attended the commencement of the John M. George School last Thursday.

For a co-educational school, it was remarkable that there were no girls in the class. The graduates who had orations were Elbert Norris Pasey, John Newton Kirk, Roscoe Oonkling Magill and George Masters Hendrie. Professor Edward Howard Griggs, of Philadelphia, addressed the class. The diplomas were presented by Dr. Joseph S.

Wit find the keynote to the uniform political success of Matthew Stanley Quay is this, that he is wholly an American. He loves his country beyond all price.

And under the veil of that calm impassive manner, and inscrutable countenance, Instead of a cruel and withering cynicism, rests the strong Impulsive heart and tender faithful soul of a patriot and gentleman. A patient life long toller himself, he has always been the sincere friend of the workman, and has ever shown a true and deep respect for the dignity of labor. He would not aid in crushing the South when the North was victorious, but stood firm as a rock against the radicals In his party. Even to bis most unjust and bitterest foes he hat ever held oat the olive branch of peace and the hand of reconciliation. Strong in his In- ate power he has never take advantage of weak men and would rather himself suffer than bring pain to others.

No wonder Matthew Stanley Quay has sturdy faithful No wonder the people love him I He taught hit protege, Mr. Elkin, to always take sides with the people, to stand by the miners in our state and see they were cared for and protected, and his reason for setting him aside in the recent Gubernatorial Oonvention was because he realized that the people wished for and required at the present time an older, wiser and more experienced man than Mr. Elkin to' govern them. And so Quay has honored with highest honor Bucks County and Us wise leaders, Col. B.

F. Gilkeson and ex-Congressman Robert Yardley, because Bucks county is with Pennypacker and the people. Yes) the Quay headquarters are now all over the county. The Quay headquarters at Newportvllle In other days and other political conditions, fulfilled their purpose. But now it is well that the Ivy grows and the rats in the roadways are covered.

All things have their dafwhen the end is accomplished. What have you to regret, and why are you sorry. Behold the tun of victory shines on the Republican Then take yoar place in the ranks with the rest of at and be contented, and, even more hereafter realize the delightful joys of the prodigal's return with a generous pity for the unwise man who has saved us the.trouble and lived to write his own epitaph: What though wit tickles, tickling it unsafe, If still 'tis painful tbo' It makes us laugh. Who for the poor renown of being smart Norristown, June there was an unusual scarcity of railroad transportation not a few left today for Erie to participate in or to witness the nomination of a Democrat candidate for governor. Generally, there Is little interest manifest In the outcome.

As a prominent Democrat said today when asked to predict the nomination: "I confess I do not know. It will make but little difference who is named, since Judge Pennypacker is the Republican standard bearer." That is the one sentiment. No matter how much the friends of Elkin would have liked to see him named the fact remains that in this section of the state, at least, Pennypacker is the strongest candidate that could have been placed at the head of the ticket. He certainly will be the salvation of the Republican county ticket. It is a ten to one shot that the present legislators oouIO be re-elected if nominated.

Pennypacker will certainly roll up a tremendous majority in this county. The appointment of a Register of Wills to succeed R. R. Freed, Mint Coiner, which has been banging fire for weeks, is expected to materialize this week. And MoGlathery will get the plum, notwithstanding Deputy Whitehead hat qualified.

Robert Miller, spoken of as a candidate for assembly from Norristown, has only been a resident of the county a few months, although he has been employed by the Reading Railway here for years. It IB said that his name does not appear on the registry lists of the county. The opinion it that he will have to wait a little longer if he wants political preferment. This practically leaves the county-seat field to John H. Rex, for assembly.

Mr. Rex during the present building season has expended $65.000 In materials and wages, so that he it somewhat of a workingman's friend. The assembly situation in the Upper Sobuylkill has not cleared, Messrs. Ebert, DeHaven and Williams are still struggling for place. The lower end Is also stirred by candidates Hunter and Ambler, for assembly, and Miller for Senator.

The more the merrier. Speaking of senatorship, Mr. Roberts, of Lower Merion, seems to be forging to the front a candidate while Mr. Heebner, of Lansdale, is holding his own. J.

P. Hale Jenkins, of Norristown, who wat Bjjken of as candidate some time since scrutinize propositions like the pn one with Home caution. An examination of the figures In their bond circular, with tbo application of ordinary common sense, will get tho real facts. Tho circular states that thny nre operating about 5,000 telephones in Now Jersey, with tho following results! Gross income from rentals and tolls $80,300 Expense of operation, maintenance and depreciation 36,440 Net earnings $43,860 5 per cent interest on $600,000 bonds outstanding 80,000 Surplus (or profits) $18,800 This surplus is stated to be 2 1-3 per cent in excess of the interest charges. I suppose this moans 2 1-3 per cent on the stock, so that tho outstanding stock It probably same amount at the bonds.

As the plant was probably built for tho bonds, the stock Is doubtless all "velvet." Sol judge the syndicate got 100 per cent In stock for its promotion and offers us 20 per cent of It for taking up their bonds. But from the above figures we get for their company of 5,000 telehones the following results: Outstanding stock per telephone $120 00 Outstanding bonds per telephone 120 00 Grose earning per telephone 16 06 Expenses of operating, maintenance and depreciation per telephone 1 29 Net earnings per telephone 8 77 Bond interest per telephone 6 00 Profits por telephone 2 77 Now, I shall undertake to show that these figures aro simply absurd, and that the Inter-State cannot possibly operate at anything so low an expense. Let us take, for example, a telephone company of about the size of our locrl company und situated as we are, In a good town, with both overhead and underground lines, and with, say, 1,000 telephones In operation. A low estimate of the cost of such a plant, well built would be $100,000, or $100 pro station.so we will put its bonded debt at that amount. Now lot us get at the annual expenses: Per Total.

Tel'ph'n There must be, for day and night service, at the very least, 10 operators at $4 per week, $2,600 00 $2 60 And not loss than 2 linemen and Inspectors at $15 per week, 1,560 00 1 canvasser and collector at $12 per week, 624 00 1 56 1,000 00 1 00 600 00 1 superintendent or manager at Rent, beat and light at $60 per month, Maintenance, battery'and wire up-keep, station and line supplies and repairs, 1,000 00 Incidentals, stationery, printing and postage, insurance and legal expenses, 1,000 00 Taxes, local and State, 2 per cent, on gross income, 1,000 00 60 1 00 1 00 1 00 Total actual expenses, $9,384 00 $9 88 But provision must be made for reasonable depreciation charge. Oall this only 5 per or $5,000 00 $5 00 (Which makes no allowance for accidents or conflagrations), And finally 5 per cent. interest on bonds, 6,000 00 6 00 seems to have dropped out entirely. S. R.

Is he indeed only Apotheosis of the past or he like Achilles retting in bit tout white the war rages round the mighty walls of Troy. We listen in vain for the sound of his bogle bora among the bills. Does It lie broken and ratted by the Bide of the river that ever flowt downward to the tea? David E. Stretch, the well known Trenton druggist, will give up the branch post-office in his store on the 1st proximo.

It is a thrifty branch for the Government, but a losing affair tor Mr. Stretch. For the same reason W. H. Millburn resigned an agency last week.

Mr. Stretch says that ne received from the government $100 a year, less the payment of $1.25 for He was required to invest In stamps about $120 a month, besides Issuing many orders and attending to many other requirements. The popularity of the agency had grown to inch an extent that at times it required the entire attention of one person. Making grand total of expenses, $19,384 00 $19 38 It does not need a telephone export to convince anyone that these figures are fair and reasonable; indeed, I know from my own experience, and that of this company Will confirm it, that the business could not possibly be done at so low an expense. Now then, when you deduct thll expense of $19.38 per telephone from the gross earnings which the Inter-State say they are making, and which I have shown above, of $16.06 per telephone, how much is left? Where will the -dividends come from? And doesn't it make their statement of operating, malntenanoe'and depreciation expense of $7.29 per telephone, look like thirty cents? Moreover, when you come to estimate the expenses of a company like the Inter-State, with Ionic trunk lines to maintain at well at local exchanges, the cost will be much larger than for a compact local company.

The Paterson, Passaic Suburban Co. was built to promote our local interests. It has no bonds, and its stock was designed to be attractive for local investors. Why should we exchange it for these Trenton chromos and have our clean little property buried under a $5,000,000 mortgage, at the rate of $200 per telephone? If it offered a sure advantage, we might entertain it, but the only certainty I can see for those who accept this offer is that which comes to the proud purchaser of a Barber: "Will yon have anything on you faoe when I have finished sir?"

The popular view of relation of the blood to buman character and conduct it marked in many a familiar expression. We speak of there being "bad blood" between people at enmity, of "blue blood' as indicating ancestry, of "black blood" at describing a treacherous nature, and In many another phrase mark our belief that in the mental, moral and physical man, 'the blood it the life." The one basis of a healthful, happy and useful life is pure blood. With the blood pore, disease has no permanent lodging place ID tha system.
