Barber. Hnrriaburg, delegates to The Farmers' National Congress to be held in Indianapolis November 10 13. There was a frost in Sullivan county Wednesday night. work at headquarters, that he had un Make Them Either Sweep the Streets doubted faith in the American people, Or break otOne. I ment and honest money were nutting i their faith in the people.

"But," con tinued Mr. Hanna. "the American neo Speaking of tramps, they have different pie are exceedingly busy lot of citi wavs of disposing of them in different places. In Harrisburg they are given lodging and breakfast and turned loose, and they never so much as say "Thankee." That is ail wrong. They should be made to pay for their victuals and lodging.

Down in Alorrisville, Bucks county, the village authorities give Mister Tramp his lodging and breakfast, but he must work for them. After the tramp has reposed on the soft side of a prison bunk all night he is led out and furnished with a broom, and it is gently intimated to him that he shall do a little sweeping before the morning's meal, is furnished him. Of course the tramp kicks about sweeping the street. There never was a tramp who did not kick against work, but if he doesn't do the work he is led back to the lock up and keit there all dav without anything to eat, and before night he is generally willing to listen to reason, and he is mighty glad to grab a broom and make the dust fly. The streets of Morrisville are always clean during a run of tramps.

Now, in Williamsport they do the trick a trifle different. After the tramp has had his sleep on the downy couch provided by the city he is informed that the city expects him to pay his "shot," as the old hotel keepers used to term it. He is given a hammer, one of these hammers with a long handle and an iron knob about as big as a base ball on the end, and he is put to work breaking stone on the streets. Any demurring is met with prompt return to the prison, and the longer he stays in prison the longer he will have to work on the streets, for the length of his work is guaged by the length of the city's hospitality. It is expected that in time Williamsport's side streets will be coated with a beautiful top dressing of macadam, and it will not cost a cent beyond the paying for the stone.

There is something reasonable in the examples set by the two places mentioned. They do not ask something for nothing, neither are they willing to give something for nothing. How would it do for the City Councils of Harrisburg to follow the Williamsport idea and pass an ordinance compelling tramps to break stone on the streets? There are some side streets in this city that are veritable mud holes. It is not the fault of the Highway Commissioner or the Supervisors that the streets are so, but the cause lies in the fact that there is no money to macadam' these streets. The city has a stone quarry and tramps are abundant, hammers do not cost much, and the combination of tramp, hammer and stone would1 undoubtedly work well for the city's unpaved streets.

The practical joker is at it again. This time he belongs to the Pittsburg police force, and he made a victim of a fellow police officer. He rigged up a chair in the station house and connected it with the electric wire so that anybody sitting in the chair would receive a shock, and of course when the victim received a shock it wns great fun for the practical joker to Bee him jump. It happened that the current was turned on pretty heavily when one of the victims strolled in. and as he sank wearily into the chair he received such a shock that he was thrown to the floor with some force, and he did not arise in great heat and demand to know who did the trick, while the others stood around and laughed.

Oh. no. What followed the shock was no laughing matter. The victim lay quiet, and when picked up it was round mat he was a nt subject for the hospital. He was taken there and the doctors reported on examination that he had ruptured the inner linini' of his stomach, and that he would bo a cripple for life.

And if the police commissioners of Pittsburg do not discharge the practical joker it will be a wonder, for they nre pretty strict in Pittsburg. Those people who go away for the summer and do not provide for the dumb beasts they leave at home are cruel in the extreme. Especially should some provision be made for cats during the absence of the family from the city. The other day in the upper part of the city, a poor, puny, starved kitten crawled over the pavement with barely enough life in it to move, and excited the sympathy of everybody. It was not diseased in any manner, it was just starved to death.

It was offered food, but after vainly trying to eat it gave up the attempt, and to end its miseries it was killed. The poor thing had been left at home by some careless family who thought, it they thought at all, that it could forage for itself, but it was not old enough or strong enough to do so, and so it starved to death. Nobody knew to whom the little animal belonged, but all agreed that the children in that family, if there were any, would bear watching. zens. We are sending them literature which gives the full facts of the money issue and the truthful arguments in support of sound money.

We are doing this in Chicago, and we are doing it in New York, and this plan of campaign will be continued not only until sundown on election day, but during the next four years. The issue is too great and too all abiding for one campaign. Even after the unsound money forces are overwhelmingly defeated, as I predict they will be, the campaign of education on the money question should be continued. And, as I have already said, we all have the fullest faith in the American people, and in tnem we are putting our trust. Chairman Hanna invited Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt to call on him to ascertain his views as to the probable outcome of the campaign in New York State and in.

New York city. Mr. Roosevelt frankly said that in his judgment New York State would give Mc Kinley the greatest majority it had ever given a Presidential candidate, and, speaking of New York city, he said that the Republican vote in the town would be overwhelming. He did not wish to predict that McKinley would carry New York city; he only wished to say that McKinley would come very near to carrying it. Chairman Hanna was pleased with the tenor of Mr.

Roosevelt's conversation. Chairman Hanna has never had the slightest doubt as to the result in New York State, but he believes that, in a measure, the voters of the Empire State represent the American sentiment, and this, together with other matters, is what he wished to discuss with Mr. Roosevelt. Commissioner Rooevelt is about to start on a Western tour, extending over considerable territory, and lasting three weeks. He said: "We are going to carry the entire Northeast for McKinley solidly, no matter how many tickets there may be in, the field.

It seems evident that ever since Bryan's notable failure in the Madison Square Garden the tide has been steadily turning our way." BE NO THIRD TICKET. Palmer syi the Indiana Convention Will Name No Candidate. Taylorsville, 111., Aug. 21. Senator Palmer was asked what he thought the Indianapolis convention would do.

He replied "It looks to me now as if the delegates would meet, adopt a platform and adjourn." "Without naming a ticket?" 1 think so. "In that event, what will sound money Democrats do vote for McKinley, or not vote at aire "I don't think many of them will take to the woods. I think most of them will vote for McKinley. For my part, I should advise every Democrat to vote for the Republican candidate, rather than vote for Bryan." "Then you would rather have McKinley and protection than Bryan and free silver?" "Yes; I think the doctrine of protection an absurdity; but I would rather see McKinley elected on that issue than risk the country in the hands of Bryan and the free silverites." Senator Palmer said that, although the Indianapolis convention would limit its activity to the adoption of a platform, it would sufficiently vindicate the position of the gold men by the Democratic principles embodied in the resolutions. Mr.

Palmer is probably as much in the confidence of the gold campaign men as any one, and it is believed he speaks with OUTLOOK IN THE VIRGINIAS. An Estimate that 30 Per Cent of the Old Dominion Democrats Will Hi pad late Bryan. Washington, 21. General James D. Brady, one of th three prominent Republicans appointed by the National Committee to have control of the campaign in Virginia, called at the Congressional headquarters and had a consultation with Chairman Babcock.

He arranged for a heavy consignment of literature to he placed at the disposal of the committee in Richmond for distribution throughout the State. General Brady savs the Republicans are greatly encouraged by the outlook in Virginia, and he feels confident that fully 30 per cent, of the Democratic voters will repudiate the nomination of Bryan. Ex Governor Cameron, of Virginia, passed through the city on his way to Petersburg, where he will open a campaign in favor of a Sound Money Democratic ticket. He said: "I believe the Bryan and Sewall ticket will be defeated, and in that event I can see no future for the extreme silver men, who now have control, except in the Populist party. The sound money Democrats will remain as the nucleus about which the party will rebuild itself.

I consider the nomination of a third ticket as an absolute necessity if the party is to remain in existence. GOLD IN JONES' WHISKERS.

He appealed to the veterans to come forward asain and nut down the new spirit of re bellion; and repudiation as raised Dy tne Fonoerats. He said he aid not believe in a third party.

Tom Reed's A Republican club serenaded Tom Reed at his home the other night and he made a speech 'in the course of which hesaid: "Here in this district we have a plain cause. The candidate who has been norni naited by (the Democrats is an estimable gentleman and he 'has honestly stated where he is. You know whotni you favor, I am not personally particular about a larger majority. I have in the past been satisfied with what you have given me.

There is something genuine in bimetallism, but in this thing which is now proposed there is absolutely nothing for the peace, comfort and prosperity of the country. "There never was a time when this the Hands of a Goldtoug Magician. New York Sun.

An incident that occurred during the recent vilsit to New York of Senator Jones. Chairman of the Popocratic National Committee, shows that that arch free silverite has an acute sense of humor and can take a joke gracefully. Herrmann, the magician, was walking down Broadway one evening with a friend. They turned into the lobby of the Bar tholdi Hotel and joined a little group of politicians, in the centre of which sat Senator Jones. They were discussing the attitude of Tom Watson and his probable influence on Bryan's campaign.

The magician was introduced to the Senator as "Prof. Alexander." They shook hands and one or two of those present who recognized the magician smiled, but said nothing. "Senator," said Herrmann gravely, "do you think Bryan election is certain?" "I do," replied the Senator. "Ninety per cent. "Excuse me," interrupted Herrmann, "is that the reason you are getting a corner on gold!" and he began raking glittering yellow coins from the astonished free silveTite's whiskers.

Everybody shouted with laughter, and the Senator, realizing that there was a trick somewhere, joined in the merriment. As he did so Herrmann took a handful of gold pieces from his mouth, and, finally seizing Irim by the shoulders, shook him until everybtxly present heard the rattle ami clink of metal. "He's full of it," crkd Herrmann, and added: "No wonder times are hard." "That's enough." said the Senator with a laugh; "I will do the proper thing under ithe circumstances, gentlemen, if the profesor has left me enough to pay for it." tl'KINLKY'S LETTER MOST HEADY.

Pot.tsville, Aug. 21. A sensation was created in Democratic political circles here by the bolt of Hon. C.

P. King, nn elector of this district, which comes on the eve of the sound money Democratic convention here to day. Mr. Kmg will be elected one of the delegates to attend the Philadelphia convention next week. The bimetallists of the Republican party are preparing to spring u.

20. The conferrees of the Twentieth Congressional district deadlocked yesterday, the Cambria county conferrees refusing to go into the conference unless Thropp's delegates from Bedford county were admitted. Somerset and Blair asked that the conferrees of Somerset, Blair and Cambria organize the conference and decide upon the admission of Thropp's delegates. The trouble originated in the last county convention, when Hicks, of Blair county, and Thropp, of Bedford county, were both candidates in this county for Congress. The convention instructed for Thropp.

The Hicks people applied to the court for an injunction, which was granted. Hicks now makes a fight in the conference. Altoona, Aug. 21. Thomas H.

Greevey, a prominent attorney; A. J. Riley, local solicitor for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and Alderman J. A. Doyle have bolted the free silver ticket and come out squarely for honest' money.

However, Cincinnati lost to Boston and the two teams are now a tie. Cleveland is pushing after the two leaders, from whom she has dropped so far took the third straight from Washington. The best tihe Phillies could do with the tailenders was one out of the two, and as New York won again from Chicago in a Garrison finish, the rejuvenated Gothamites are mighty close to the Quakers' heels for eighth pla.ee. By winning Boston draws closer to Chicago and Pittsburg, and those two teams will do well to go west again in the same positions they now hold. St.

CITY INSTITUTE, READY FOR THE TEACHERS High School Preparations Also Going Forward All Right. The city school teachers are getting back to town in detachments from their vacations in the mountains and the seashore that is those who saved enough of their salary last year to go outhof town for July and August. Monday a week the city institute begins and they are looking forward with some anticipation to the affairs, which will be largely in the nature of an experiment, for Harrisburg has never had an institute of her own before, though she has been qualified to do so years ago. It takes only fifty teachers for a city to hold its own institute. This gives the city several comfortable margins to spare.

The attendance at the institute sessions will be compulsory just as are the county ones. Bach city instructor will get two dollars a day for sitting on seats in the High School assembly room and learning how to do things. Every day they will hold out a small white card for the doorkeeDer to punch, and if there are not five holes in, the card at 12 o'clock on Friday, September 4th, there will be two dollars deducted from their salaries when they get their first month checks, City institutes come high if you are a teacher and do not yearn for knowledge. City Superintendent Foose has had en tire charge of the arrangements for the session and has completed a list of instructors and is now engaged in finishing the daily programme. The institute will last from Monday at 2 till Friday at 12.

The factulty will consist of State Super intendent Sheaffer, Dr. B. T. Jeffers, president of the York Collegiate Institute; Dr. M.G.

Brumbaugh, president of Juniata College, at Huntingdon, and profes sor of pedagogy at the University of of pedagogy at the West Chester Normal School; President W. P. Dick, of Metz ger College, Carlisle; Prof. A. C.

Roth ermel, filling the chair of natural sciences at the Kutztown Normal School, and Profs. E. G. Rose and Olin W. Miller, who will teach the teachers to warble sweet singings.

This i3 a goodly array of mind improvers, and the city institute will not lack capable men at its head. There will be morning and afternoon sessions, but no evening lectures. This feature of the county institute will be wanting. There are no pay tilings to be held. On the Monday after the Friday the sessions end the public schools will open and the teachers will have had a week's preparation that will have effectually have proved a good thing, Making the High School Schedule.

Principal Landon, of the High School, is still absent from town on his vacation in the country. Under the suggestion of City Superintendent Foose he has written to each of the newly elected High School instructors asking their prefer ences for departments of work. This will enable him to make out the year schedule of recitations more intelligently. This duty which every September falls upon the principal, is an arduous task, and in volves much careful consideration, lhose superintending the High School, how ever, are gradually getting the work divided into definitely specified departments or chairs, so that this assigning of work is yearly becoming less complicated, in a few years the college plan will be in full voeue. that of having teachers elect ed, to fill a definitely defined position.

Looking more like a prosperous tiller of the soil than an ex Governor and present United States Senator from South Carolina, "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman sat in the smoking compartment of the dining car on Atlantic Express this morning, chat ting with several fellow travelers. He wore a thin black alpaca coat and a closely woven straw hat encircled by a broad band of black crepe.

The hat with its upturned front brim was tilted back on the head as the redoubtable Senator, who so loves Senator um and President Cleveland, peered through his black rimmed nose glasses with his good right eye at the card handed him by the "Telegraph" reporter.

Judge Martin Rell. of the Blair county courts, handed down an opinion in the case of Constable John Roe, of Altoona, against the county commissioners for costs for serving subpoenas issued in the oyer and terminer court which will cause consternation among the constables. Roe had charged his fees under the fee bill of 1893 allowing constables 50 cents for subpoenas and 10 cents for each mile traveled. The commissioners refused to pay the bill and the case was appealed. In his opinion Judge Bell decided that in serving such subpoenas the constable acts as a deputy sheriff and is entitled to only 15 cents for subpoenas and 0 cents for each mile traveled.

It is expected that the constables will combine and hereafter refuse to serve such subpoenas. Charles Engle's Sixty Seventh Birthday Last evening Charles A.

From the Chicago Record. During the vacation time public school boys find that they have more spare time on their hands than spare nickels in their pockets. The average boy seldom is the possessor of much ready cash, for the average father of the average boy gets a small salary and has a good sized family. This condition of affairs causes the vacation, boy to look around for opportunities which will permit him to earn the large round dollar which is raising such a rumpus now. An effort was mad a the other day to find out what the Chicago boy did when he wanted some spending money, and these are some of the business enterprises in which he is actively interested Making and selling kites, value 1 cent to 10 cents each.

Making and selling pinwheels. 1 cent each. Selling lemonade 3 cents a gless, in front of the boy's home. Cleaning and oiling bicycles, 5 cents a bicycle. Pumping np bicycle tires for lazy wheelmen.
