NEW YORK OFFICE, 150 Nassau J. Shannon, Mgr. UNION NEW STORY OF CONSPIRACY A new story of the hatching of the conspiracy which resulted in the independence of Panama was printed yesterday, and while it relieves the Administration of the charge of directly conspiring against a supposed friendly government it leaves it open to the indirect accusation of being an accessory before the fact. That, however, is sufficient for the purposes of these who are striving to besmirch the Administration. According to this entirely new story the revolutionary plot was hatched in New York.

where so many plots are prepared, and its plotters laid the tails before Secretary Hay, who until that moment was unaware of any conspiracy against Colombia. Even then, according to the story, the Administration did not become a coparcener with the conspirators, it merely asking that the proposed uprising be delayed until Colombia could have opportunity of repenting for her action against interests of Panama. Dr. Herran, Colombian the Minister, became aware (the story doesn't say how) of what was going forward within a few days of the plotters' alleged visit to Secretary Hay. and the Minister cabled his government to be prepared.

Like everything else that has been printed in accusation of the Administration, this story lacks confirmation. Nevertheless the opposition press continues to say that the conspiracy was nursed into life by the Government of the United States for selfish Their own story doesn't purposes. prove that much. Old Boreas doesn't seem able to quite make up his mind as to whether he wants to come here or not. But Harrisburg is closed to no visitor.

ALLEGED ELECTION FRAUDS After every election the poor Democratic press cries "fraud!" It cannot conceive that its party is so weak that it is a comparatively easy matter for the Republican candidates to get 250,000 majority. In accordance with the annual custom a Democratic newspaper says that in the last election 100.000 fraudulent votes were polled for Republican candidates. If that was true the casting of those votes was like painting the lily. In a State whichalwayscasts a tremendous Republican, vote fraudulent balloting is as unnecessary as two tails to a cat, even admitting that fraudulent votes are ever cast. They were especially unnecessary in the last election.

It was an "off year," particularly for Democrats. There was not much of a Democratic party in the State, and what there was of it did not fight hard enough to tax the ordinary reSources of the Republican party. Under the circumstances the services of the mythical stuffers of ballot boxes, the impersonators and the repeaters were not needed. In fact, the Democratic party is outclassed and must go and get a reputation before it can meet the Republican party with better chances of success. Now is the time to remember the charitable institutions of the city.

Give freely and often. These institutions are doing a quiet and effective work for unfortunates and those who are stewards of the Lord's bounty should remember them generously. Perseverance Lodge, the mother of Masonic bodies in this part of aylvania, celebrated another birthday anniversary last night with a feast of wood cheer. It is not too late to correct the mistake that was made in the awarding of a contract for the paving of the hill section of Market street with sheet asphalt. The Barber Asphalt Company would probably substitute some other material for that part of the street rather than take the responsibility for making a dangerous toboggan slide.

Highway Commissioner McConkey certainly has the power to hold up the work until a reasonable arrangement can be made to assure safety. Philosophers tell us to be of sunny temperament and laughter-loving, for man can in the long run make his own world as he wants it to be. But, alas! the philosophers are not practical men. There is no man who would not rather be sunny than morose; and there is no man who does not love a laugh. But the philosophers, not being practical men forget that a man's estimate of the world sometimes depends upon the of liver he was born with, and for which he is in no way accountable.

By all means let us have the East Capitol Park. The project is not altogether new, but it is new enough to need pushing, PROPERTY DESTRUCTION IN STRIKES The right to strike--the quit work for real or imaginary grievances, for good or bad reasonscannot be denied to any man. Labor is the workingman's capital and it is his privilege to invest it wherever he may choose and upon such conditions as may please him. And it is his undoubted privilege to withdraw that capital whenever that course shall seem to him desirable or advisable. But the right to strike does not carry with it the right to destroy property.

In some industries there is seldom 3 strike of considerable proportions which does not have its tale of violence and destruction of property. As an example, the strikers in Chicagostreet car men who have made various demands which their employers do not see fit to grant -have assaulted non-union men, attacked cars, endeavored to blockade the lines and have cut wires to prevent the operation of the road. There have been collisions with the police, who from all accounts have been unusually forbearing during the progress of this strike. Chicago has been notorious for strike riots and the indications are that the present difficulty will add to the tale. All the property destruction during strikes is on one side.

Why should this be so? It is incomprehensible, but true, that many people turn indifferent ears to stories of destruction by strikers. That is common, The same men would be horrified and send up cries for vengeance should the employers destroy the property of strikers. There is 110 difference in so far as the exercise of any right or privilege, conceded Or assumed, is concerned. Yet nobody ever hears of employers smashing strikers' furniture while strikers destroy the emplovers' plant. Charges against General probably go no farther than charges.

The American people are becoming too confirmed in the habit of accusing the men who serve them. DOWIE'S KISSING ORDER Dowie has issued an order that there shall be no kissing in Zion City, and no doubt Dowie believes that this order is being obeyed. Belief brings contentment to the believer, even if what he believes isn't so. An esteemed contemporary, ing to be sarcastic. is merely truthful when it says: "Nobody will believe that there could have been any necessity for this order." Of course there wasn't.

There was no more necessity for it than for an order that all the inhabitants of Zion City shall part their hair on both sides. Because Dowie is too old for sweet favors, shall there be no osculation in Zion? A kiss is a little thing, but it has led to mighty events in homes and in nations. The fear of penalties has not prevented the meeting of lips and Dowie will be impotent to prevent it in the city over which he rules as a patriarch. He can no more separate youth and osculation than he can prevent flames from burning. Dowie began his crusade wrong.

He should have ordered the Zionists to change nature, to be born again, without affection or love, without the supreme passion that makes home and family ties. Could he do this there would be no kissing. As he cannot do it, we'll bet there is kissing under somebody's nose in Zion City this minute. Senator Morgan has relieved himself of some sharp criticisms of President Roosevelt. In doing so he has pleased, himself and not hurt the President and the people are of the same opinion still.

Let it not be forgotten that this city needs a City Hall and needs it badly. It is a disgrace to the city that its officials are scattered all over the place. The civilizing influence of the cable is so great that the newspapers are now able to report the social functions of the natives in the South Seal islands. REMARKABLE FEAT OF MEMORY Congressman Olmsted's Memorial Address a Great Effort in More Ways Than One The unveiling of the portraits of Judges Pearson and Simonton at the Court House yesterday was an impressive and dignified ceremony. The memorial addresses were worthy the distinguished subjects and the chosen orators were all heartily congratulated.

These addresses will furnish part of the imperishable record of the Dauphin Bar Association and set down for future historians the eminent abilities of the two jurists who did so much to bring honor to the local court. Congressman Olmsted's address was remarkable not only for its literary quality and complete marshaling of the important facts of Judge Simonton's distinguished career, but also as a brilliant feat of memory. In his eloquent and interesting remarks the Congressman referred to the "wondrous powers of memory" of Judge Simonton and the audience which listened intently to every word he uttered were lost in admiration of the wonderful memory of the speaker himself. His address covered several thousand words and not once did he consult a note or hesitate for a fact or figure. He gave dates of births and weddings and deaths, the number pages of legal reports containing decisions to which ne referred and names and places in the most remarkable way.

This is not the first instance of Congressman Olmsted's rare powers of memory, but it was so exceptional las to excite general comment. The ceremonies throughout were characterized by a quiet dignity which comported with the occasion and the committee of the Bar of which James M. Lamberton, was chairman. was cordially complimented. The portraits were speaking likenesses and were much praised.

POLITICS IN PENNSYLVANIA Break Between Insurance Commissioner Durham and Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia Mayor Weaver and Insurance Commissioner Durham have parted company over the selection of a Republican candidate for receiver of taxes of Philadelphia. The break came yesterday after: a three hours' conference between the Mayor and Insurance Commissioner and all efforts to patch up a truce are unavailing. Mr. Durham declared positively for State Senator William H. Berklebach for Receiver of Taxes to succeed Captain John W.

Davidson, who is the Mayor's choice for renomination. Thirty-five of the forty-one ward leaders in Philadelphia have pledged their support to Mr. Durham, which practically assures the nomination of Senator Berklebach. Senator Quay arrived in Philadelphia last evening from Washington and spent two hours with Mr. Durham and James P.

McNichol, the Philadelphia leader's chief lieutenant. Neither of them would discuss the purpose of the Senator's visit or what would be his position if there should be a fight between Weaver and Durham. Wholesale resignations of high city officials may follow as a result of the break between the two leaders. Durham is still in bad health and his many friends in Harrisburg are afraid if he makes an active fight it will impair his health. He controls the Republican organization in Philadelphia and Weaver's friends admit the nomination of Berklebach is assured.

Hanna to Explain His Position Senator Hanna is expected to make a final statement regarding his position respecting the Republican nomination for President at a banquet to be given after the meeting of the Republican national committee at Washington on December 10th to fix the time and place for holding the next national convention. Senator Hanna is to be the guest of honor at the banquet at which President Roosevelt and other distinguished Republicans are expected to be present. The Senator repeated to-day that he had not thought of the nomination for himself and that he would not accept it if offered him. Senator Platt, of New York, gave out an authorized interview last night at Washington in which he declared that New York and the entire Republican party is overwhelmingly in favor of Roosevelt. Mr.

Platt and Chairman Dunn, of the New York State Republican Committee, had lunch with the President yesterday and assured him of the support of the New York delegation. Governor Odell. of New York, will be the President's guest this evening at dinner at the White House. A BOOKS AND MAGAZINES "The 'by Elliott Flower, L. C.

Page Publishers, Boston, 12 mo. cloth $1.50. There came recently to our table this capital story of municipal politics which depicts conditions to be found in every city in the country. It it a delightfully strong romance and at the same time an essay on political reform and the difficulties which confront every politician, the intrigues, the shams, the frauds, the honesty and dishonesty political life. To a large the story seems to have been drawn from life but enough of fiction is interwoven to make the tale one of interest to the general reader.

The love interest centers around a girl of high ideals who inspires a wealthy young man to enter a local campaign. It is a story in which the man of the world, whether he has dabled in politics or played it as a regular game, will find much that is familiar and true to life. "Count Zarka," by Sir William nay, L. C. Page publishers, Boston, 12 mo.

cloth, $1.50. In this book. Sit William Magnay continued in a field in which he has been a successful author. His book of last year, "The Red Chancellor," was considered by the critics as one of the most dramatic novels of the season. "Count Zarka" is a lively romance of adventure and political intrigue.

It is in a fectitious kingdom of central Europe that the scene of the story is laid, but under such a thin disguise that it may be recogniz-1621 ed as one of the Balkan States. The character of the mysterious Count Zarka, both hero and villain, is strongly developed and the story as a whole is one that is well worth reading. WITH THE STATE EDITORS Wilkes-Barre Times: The steady growth in the tramp population and the numerous crimes that are committed in districts deficient of police protection, will, we believe, soon justify the establishment of a constabulary system so that closes sections of the State may be in touch for police purposes. Erie Dispatch: A large standing army is not needed, but a strong navy is an absolute necessity and there should be steady expansion in our naval strength. Pottsville Republican: Our telegraphic news shows that Gen.

Wood is making a record as a warrior while his enemies at Washington are trying to defame that record. Chester Times: The motions of this administration are a little too rapid for some of the chronic kickers against it. They cannot keep up with it. Philadelphia Press: The street car strikers in Chicago are of the opinion that if the police were withdrawn and they were permitted to smash all the cars the strike would soon be over. Pottsville Republican: An exchange says if you want a turkey must hustle for it.

There was a time when we used to raffle for it. Baltimore One Price The Home of Good Clothing An Overcoat For Your Boy?

Except for just a few errors, which naturally creep into a first trial at such a performance, the drill was accomplished without any confusion and with the best of order prevailing. The drill was under supervision of Principal Baer, the originator. of the scheme, who was assisted by Prof. Swain, who instructed the pupils in army quick-step, which is used throughout the drill.

The drill was ordered just prior to the closing hours and after the pupils had been notified. At the sound of the gong, the pupils went to their respective recitation rooms, where they prepared for their hasty exit. At an unexpected moment, the signals for the start was made. The on the first floor emptied their quota first, the pupils walking in single file. There was no confusion and at no time were there more than three lines of students in one hall.

The girls used the Forster street exit and the boys the Plum avenue and Capitol street doors. A short drill with the fire hose demonstrated that the supply was inadequate and that some sections of the top floors could not be reached, notably, the chemical laboratory, where danger of fire is probably more than other portions of the building. The necessary hose will be obtained. CIVIL SUIT AGAINST MINISTER WITHDRAWN Suit has been withdrawn by Dr. J.

The case came up Jerauld's, Nov. 24th, 1903 Going Home Thanksgiving? in buying at Jerauld's, 310 Market St. Of course you are.
