LAST EDITM, IS HE FAVORED? TUE NEWSPAPER MAN'S STORY A Few Timely Remarks on Shoes and Clothing. Tub following from an exchange Is bo it pntire: "Never was harbored a more absurdly false idea than the one so oncn neara expresaeu mm, newspaper men have tree passes on rail' tU Vctn to theaters, shows, IVHUO w.

with equal amount of service, would be a good deal of money in uie pocKeia ui iuc newspapers, tuey uo not is hardly fair when they are themselves tho givers, if any one is, that they should be stigmatized as 4 dead heads by the ignorant and thoughtless." 44 Tiikhk was a time when a man's foot muis a last," said the citizen to Gossip, 44 but that time has gone by. The big shoe factories in this country make shoes to fit anv loot now, and all a man has to do is to send his own order to the shoe store and his shoes arc sent home at once no trouble and no delay. Six years ago I went into a shoe store in this city and told the clerk the size of shoes I work and the width. He handed me a pair of shoes, which I put on at once and they fitted perfectly. When ever I want a pair of shoes now I send to the store, they know my size and what I want, and there is no trouble over securing well fitting shoes.

Quite different from tho time you used to stretch yourmade t6 order shoes on your feet and suffer the tortures of the condemned until they were stretched enough to allow them to be worn eomfortably. The same is true also in clothing. Gossip was conversing with a well dressed citizen who always keeps up with the style and wears clothing of a fashionable cut. fcJald he, 44 1 don't pay very much for a suit of clothes for business and every day wear, and consequently can afford to buy half a dozen suits a year. Clothing is made now a days on scientific princi ples, and you can be fitted in almost any store.

I purchase a suit at small cost, but of well made and fashionable goods, put it on in tho private room in the store set apart for that purpose, and walk out with it on. A man with a small income can afford to be well dressed now, for clothing was never bo cheap. Good, fashionable clothing, I mean. There is no excuse for a man being shabby now. Of course, when when I want a fine suit or a dress suit I fmtronize the merchant tailor.

Every man ias his measure at the merchant tailor's." Gossip met a prominent citizen and large tax payer this morning who said: "Here is a point in favor of Judge Simon ton, why don't you make it." Have you noticed that in the report of Secretary of Agriculture Edge it is stated that the rate of taxation in Dauphin county is the lowest in the State, in our county only six mills and in Susquehanna eighteen mills. This is certainly strong evidence that the administration of criminal justice in this county by Judge Simonton has been economical, and Gossip cheerfully admitted this point was well taken. With smlloa to day she's humming o'er And sluglng goes about her labor They've told Tier that her hat cost more Than did tho one worn by her neighbor." Tariff Pictures. Tho total of all public debts in tho United States national. State, county, municipal and school has been reduced from $84 04 per capita in 1870 to $32 25 Iicr capita in 1800.

Oh, yes, wo lave prospered during the last twenty years of protection and Republican financiering. New rorle ITess. HIS ELECTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNANIMOUS. rhlladslpbla Times, (Dem.) The Democrats of tho district committed a palpable error in not giving Judge Simonton a unanimous re election. He is one of the most competent and upright judges of the State, and despite all the efforts and combinations which may bo made asainBt him he will doubtless carry both counties by large majorities.

The people of all parties should resolutely vote for the best candidate for judge, no matter what party shall present the candidate. It is tho one oillce that partisan politics should never be permitted to control, and every honest citizen can have no interest in tho election of judges beyond tho choice of the most competent and upright man. Let the people be honest with themselves iu the election of judges, and they will thus maintain a thoroughly creditable and Bafe judiciary of Pennsylvania. QUAKER CITY NOTES. Tho Record.

TIS A VERY MKKKY TH1XQ." 'TIs a very merry thing, In the days of Spring, By the woodland side to rove And hear the little vows. That are sung upon the boughs, By the young birds making love. Oh 'tis merry, merry, merry. On the daisied bank to lie, While the stream la babbling by, At your teet, at your leet And to hear the wood dove's call, Echoed by the waterfall, 'TIs most sweet, 'tis most sweet. 'TIs a very merry thing, PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Bailey, of Johnstown, who has numerous friends in this city, was married vesterdav in the cathedral to District Attornev Frank O'Connor. The wedding was a very large one, and was attended by friends from all parts of the State. FIRE IN A GREEN HOUSE. The Flames Believed to Have Been of Incendiary Origin. About 1 :45 o'clock this morning the fire companies embraced in the district which includes Box 41, were called to tne vicin ity of Twelfth and Bailey streets to ex tinguish the names which were rapidly consuming the green houses oi Wm.

D. Badger, the florist, who has his store room at No. 10 North Fourth street. Before the progress of the fire had been stopped, the stable and upper portion of the buildings were entirely destroyed and over 8,000 plants therein ruined by the smoke, entailing a loss of between $1,500 and partly covered by insur ance. Mr.

Badger, who had paid his usual visit to his green houses about 11 satisfied everything was all right then, as he took extra precaution against too much heat by placing cinders on the fire, and firmly believes the conflagration was of incendiary origin. Eliza beth H. Waltman, who resides at 1 weltth and Bailey streets, looked over towards the green houses after Mr. Badger's visit and saw a tiny speck of flame at one end of the building, far enough away from the boiler and fire box to disprove any statement that it could have arisen from that particular locality. WILL GIVE A STREET PARADE.

City Grays, Cadets and Troopers to Appear saturaay jsvemns. Orders have been issued to the members of the City Grays, Cadets and Governor's troop to assemble at the armory of the former on Saturday evening next, at 5:30 o'clock, for the purpose of making a short street parade. The Grays will wear their State uniforms, including great coat and shako hat, while the troopers will also don their State uniforms, including white gloves, great cbats, shoes and carbines, obtaining the same at their armory to morrow evening. Captain Hutchison has also requested every member who has qualified as a marksman to report to him at once in order to verify his score. During the Grays' bazar, which opens Saturday evening, a roll will be kept at the ticket office where each member will report and receive credit for his attendance, but no member, will marked present unless he reports in his cap and blouse.

FARM VALUATION AND TAXATION. The State Board of Agriculture has concluded its collection of statistics relating to farm taxation for the present year, and Secretary Edge has arranged the data already collected into a table which will show the number of farms returned from each county, the total estimated value of the farms, the total amount of tax paid on each, the ratio of the assessed to the real value of farms in each county and the average rate of farm taxation in each county in the State. Thus far 7,566 farms have been returned their estimated actual value is $50,171,194, and the total amount of tax paid upon them is $421,090 80; this indicates an average rate of 8.3 mills. The taxes are all based upon the rates for the year 1890, and show a variation from 6.1 mills in Dauphin to 18.62 mills in Susquehanna. Secretary Edge reports that there is a growing tendency on the part of county commissioners to use full value as the basis of taxation.

The table shows that in five counties the assessed value is one fourth of the real value in fifteen counties the assessed value is one third of the real value; in five counties the assessed value is one half of the estimated real value. That is to ay that properties are valued at their actual or real value and one fourth, one third or one half of this amount taken for the assessed value iupon which the tax rate is levied. Twenty five counties appear to use the estimated real value as a baBis for taxation. Wedded JUtst Evening. The wedding of Miss Annie F.

Zone, daughter of Wm. L. Zone; and Mr. Harry A. Selin, took place last, evening at the residence of the bride's parents, No.

410 Harris street. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. W. Dalbey, and the attendants were Wm.

Zone and Miss Carrie Selin, the usher being Mr. Edward Nye. The bride was handsomely attired in a cream cashimere robe. Many beauti ful presents, of a useful character, were bestowed on her by friends. Mr, and Mrs.

Selin will at once go to housekeeping at 110 Linden street. A Great Band. The Austrian Juvenile Band, which appears at the Opera House next month, is something quite novel and wonderful even from a musician's view. There are 40 of the boys, called from the various military band schools of Austria, Hungary and Bohemia. Each is a solo player, havingbeen under one master five years, and their repertoire is certainly unusual for any band but of the highest grade.

A former Harrlsburar Married. Dr. Walter S. Rink, youngest son of Rev. William Rink, former pastor of Ridge Avenue M.

Jones ancf will remove with his family to New York in November. Harrisburg will lose a good citizen in Mr. Westbrook, but private interests take him away. CAPITOL HILL. Governor Pattison lias received addi tional letters from the signers of the petition respecting charges against certain York officials.

S. Hirsh writes that he thinks it all a political scheme and he wants to be "lett out in the fcold or outside the breastworks in future proceedings. Jacob Stair and Amos Hoffman also protest that they have no evidence to present. One of them says he doesn't believe the charges against the mercantile appraiser. V.

K. Frey sends newspaper clippings, without names or dates of papers, giving the character of the charges, and says he has evidence to prove them. Nothing, however, is submitted. Mr. Hirsh is offended because the petition was presented to the Senate through Senator Gobin and not benator Brown.

In a sensational editorial article the Al lentown Democrat calls upon State Senator Milton C. Henninger or county, to resign, because, as the Democrat says, he cannot prove what he asserted in the Senate, that there is corruption in the mercantile appraiser's office in Lehigh county. It is reported that resolutions will be in troduced in the Senate calling Governor Pattison's attention to the fact that he must send all appointments to the Senate for confirmation during the time that the Senate is in session. There's considerable comment over the Governor's position in this matter. Attornev General Hensel has been making notes of the argument of Mr.

Shaplev and Judge Orvis on the question of the Senate's jurisdiction, and he may vet agree to enlighten the benate on tins important question. Congressman Brosius was a looker on in the Senate a short time this morning. He was en route to Bradford to do some campaigning. udge Simonton has been an interested listener to the arguments before the Senate in the cases against the State officials. Representative Rush Gillan, of Cham bersburg, and 44 Tombstone Tewksbury were on the hill to day.

It is probable that the Senate will ad journ to morrow afternoon until after the election. The meeting of the Board of Pardons, announced to be held last evening, has been postponed for the present. HOW TO VOTE. There are Six Boxes and Six Tickets, the corn The ticket to' be voted for at ing election is as follows: One headed State, with the names of the candidates for Auditor General and State Treasurer, to be deposited in a box to be provided for that purpose. One headed Delegates at Large, with the names of the persons nominated for a Constitutional Convention, should one be Held, to be de posited in a separate box.

One headed Judiciary, with the name or the Judge to be voted for, to be deposited in a separate box. One headed County, with the names of the candidates to be voted for, to be deposited in a separate box. One headed District Delegates, with the names of the candidates for the Constitutional Convention, if any is held for this county, to be deposited in a separate box. A separate box is required tor the bal lots on the question of holding a Constitutional Convention. Each voter is entitled to vote for or against a Constitutional Convention, and the tickets for and against the same will no doubt be provided by the county committees.

Election Day Next Tuesday, HIS RETIREMENT WOULD BE A PUBLIC LOSS. Lebanon Report In printing the sketch and portrait of Judge Simonton on Saturday this paper in no way identified itself with that gentle man's fortunes, nor those of his party, neither of which would we for an instant consider. We are not concerned with whether Judge Simonton has an office, nor yet whether the Republican party has a judge. These are questions of very little importance. We look at the matter entirely from the people's point of view, and in so doing we are bound to see several things.

We see that Judge Simonton is a "man of high character and of rare judicial ability; that he has served the people with eminent fitness, and, if the estimate of the Supreme Court be a guide, with fairness and justice. Seeing this we believe his retirement would, be a public loss; and that is our conclusion of the whole matter, and to reach it it is not necessary to detract from the qualifications of the other gentleman who is a candidate for the same office. Headquarters In Harrisburg. The Lebanon Times says The post of fice at Columbia was entered on Monday night and about ip 300 in money and stamps stolen. Two suspicious charaters, supposed to have been the robbers, were tracked to Harrisburg, where all efforts to locate them failed.

The manner of breaking open the safe was the same as was employed by the party who robbed the post office in this city. It is believed that a fang ot burglars is temporarily located in larrisburg. from which point they swoop down upon such places as promise to repay tnem well tor their trouble. It is believed that the thieves who operated on the post office went in the direction of Harrisburg and that they are at the present time in that city. Prison Inspectors Get No Fay.

When the Senate convened this morning, President Pro Tern. Gobin in the nimir n. nnmmunication was read from Lieutenant S. A. Wolf, U.

S. as fol lows: "Fridav. October 30th, at 10:30 xr TTis "Excellency. Governor Robert Pattison. will review the hattalion of adets, from the Pennsylvania State Col We in front of the Executive Mansion.

We would be exceedingly pleased to ex tend the same courtesy to the benate, it can so arrange its business as to De present at that place or at some other to be designated by yourself." On motion of Senator Thompson the invitation was accepted and the Senate will be present at the review. Judge Orvis on Jurisdiction. Orvis resumed the argument this morning in benair or tne accuseu puk 1 officials, his law being He said it remarks and conclusions oi applicable to both cases. would be a difficult thing for him to dilate unon the law ques tions involved without repeating in large mensiirp. the able and exhaustive presenta ion of the constitutional points covered in the speech of Mr.

Shapley yesterday. Judge Orvis, however, went into the question of iurisdiction and discussed several points of the argument of Mr. Shapley 4'rorn a different point of view. An officer elected by the people, he said, could not be removed except by death, resignation, the properly constituted judicial power, or some department having judicial functions. He cited the case of Commonwealth vs.

Gammell and other authorities in support of this position. In a cool, calm and dispassionate manner he went to the very roots of the constitutional structure of this Government and showed wherein the power of impeachment and removal was originally vested. He outlined the difference in the distribution of the legislative, executive and judicial powers under the earlier Constitution, and the clear and distinct distribution ot judicial power under the more recent Constitutions, showing that the Senate as now convened in executive session nas no power whatever to deal with the cases against the accused State officials. It is not sitting as a high court of impeachment and no charges have been made by the House of Representatives, as required by the Constitution. He enforced and emphasized the leading points of Mr.

Shapley's argument and cited additional authorities to support his position that the courts only have the power to pass upon enarges oi misue meanor or malfeasance in office. Two Propositions. His main propositions were, first, that no citizen elected to office, commissioned and oualified. can be lawfully removed from that office without being impeached, or indicted in court, tried and convicted; second, that the Senate in extra session, nor the Governor, nor botn are autnonzed to try and determine the question of the guilt or innocence of any officer for crimes and misdemeanors in office. At 12 :30.

at the suggestion of. Judge Orvis, who desired a rest, the Senate took a recess until 3 o'clock this afternoon, when he will conclude his argument, which is regarded as a very able legal presentation of the important matters in volved the pending proceedings. Will Have a Walk Over. Philadelphia Press. In the Dauphin Lebanon district Judge Simonton will have a walk over, although the Democrats thought it would be worth while to run Levi B.

The Democrats of the district committed a palpable error in not giving Judge Simonton a unanimous re election. He is one of the most competent and upright judges of the State, and despite all the efforts and combinations which may be made against him he will doubtless carry both counties by large majorities.

WAsnixGTOx, Oct. 29. The President intimated to day to the correspondent of tne elegrapit that the selection of a bee retary of War would not be made for some time and that the announcement would not be made until after the meeting of the Senate. Secretary Proctor, in alluding to the matter later in the day, said: "It is very iiKeiy mat 1 shall remain until aticr the meeting of the Senate, louknow am subject to the orders of my superior." There is no authority that 3Ir. Elkins has been selected for 3Ir.

Proctor's place as secretary of War. It is well known. however, that his relations with the Presi dent are very intimate. He contributed largely to securing tho nomination of Ben. Harrison in 1888.

and the President looks to him as an important factor to and in securing his renomination. The President is also aware that 3Ir, Elkins has been a life long political friend of 3Ir. Blaine. In the event of the selection of 3Ir. Elkins for the War Department it would indicate that the President intends to take active steps to head the ticket of 1892, and it will be understood that 3Ir.

Elkins proposes to further his interests to that end. It would further indicate that 3Ir. Elkins does not believe that 3Ir. Blaine intends to enter the political arena, nor will he permit his name to go before the convention. DkB.

Election Day Nxt Tuesday. OSEGO AND MOBRISON. A Housing Reception In Erie LAst BUt. Erie, Oct. 28.

The Republican cam paign, which was practically opened by uaizcn, reached the zenith ot its enthusi asm to day upon the arrival of the war heroesGeneral Gregg and Captain 3rorrison, tne itepuoiican btatc nominees. The event created great enthusiasm among the soldiers and sailors of this city, and they have escort, and had secured music in honor of the nominees as soldiers. The Central Opera House had its capacity taxed to the utmost. Giles D. Price, who had contested with General Gregg for the nomination for Auditor General, presided, and.

in his opening address distinguished himself. The unimpeachable character of the Republican nominees was eloquently dissertated upon. 31r. Price, in speaking of loo great party submissiveness, said that this was not the Republican party's greatest danger. While he would not say that bolting was never justifiable, there was certainly no condition that would justify it at this time.

The chairman was most enthusiastically applauded for his patriotic utterances. When General Gregg was introduced that vast audience rose and there was great applause. It was a fitting greeting to the hero of Gettysburg. Then the great leader of armed hosts in the past reviewed the evidence" of prosperity as he had found them existing in the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania in' his tour. His eloquent references to the defense of the Union principle and his tribute to the martyred Lincoln evoked prolonged applause.

His address was then the fraternal talk of one battle scarred veteran to another, for the house was full of them. In closing he asked the Republicans of Erie city and county to stand by the principles which nad made the party great. DRAWBAUGH REFUSED. Commissioner Klmmomls Decides AKalust Ills Application for Telephone 1'utont. Washington', Oct.

28. Commissioner Simmonds, of the patent office, to day rendered a decision on an apjK'al from a decision of the board of exaininers in chief, denying patentability to the subject matter of an application for patent for telephones, filed by Daniel Drawbaugh April 3d, 1881, the same being in continuance of his original application, filed July lGth, 1S80, on the ground that the invention in controversy was put into public use and on sale by Thomas A. Edison and others, and for more than two years prior to July 2Cth, 1880, the date of the filing of the original application. This application has been pending in the Patent Ofllcc for more than eleven years. After an exhaustive review of the whole case, the commissioner finds "that the improvement in controversy was in public use and on sale for more than two years prior to the time when Drawbaugh filed his application for patent under consideration and that for such reason he is not entitled to a patent therefor, and the decision of the examiner in chief is affirmed.
