Philadelphia, Dec. 12. To the Republican electors of Pennsylvania: The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly iiosen representatives, will meet in State Convention Thursday, April 23d, 1896, at 10 o'clock A. in the Opera House, citv of Harrisburg, for the purpose of nominating two candidates for Repre sentative at large in Congress, and thirty two candidates for Presidential electors; the selection of eight delegates at large to the Republican National Convention, and for the transaction of such other business as may be presented. The representation to which each Legislative district is entitled is indicated in the an nexed schedule.

By order of the State Committee, M. S. QUAY, Chairman. Attest: B. REX, W.

R. ANDREWS, Secretaries. FOR SOUND MONEY. The Republican State Convention tomorrow must declare unequivocally for pound money, must not halt Sn Hie decla ration, aind must make the note loud and dear. There must 'be no eqari vocation nor shilysha Hying; no evasion of flie is sue, bnt simply an emphatic declaration for sound moner.

That It? all. The people will not ask anyUhing else. Any rhing short of that, however, will not satisfy them. This is Pennsylvania's opportunity to s'how her eomtenipt for the free silver craze. The man who doctors his milk or creattn to make it keep rom souring in the warm is running a big risk for a few paltry pennies.

He ought to know tfliat the last Legislature passed a. law to reach him, and hat the officers of the law are on his track and will see that if he is guilty tihat he gefts the penalty of fine or imprisonment. Doctoring mifk 61s, in paln words, poisoning milk, and it fis a crime tibia tfie victims in nearly every case are little chiVlren, who are carried off by hie greediness of a few men who are willing to commit a. crime of this dharac ter for gain. The Legislature oif last year diM imteth that was reprehensible, but Bit wiped out a great deal of that which was cenlsuraible wlhen it passed tihe laws relating to pure food and adulterated milk.

Some of the favorite sons will be content to go'as delegates at large to the Sil Lonis convention. That is all right, just so. there is no bad blood. The New York Court of Appeals has righted what was seemingly a wrong, but which may have been considered otherwise by a jury. About a year ago an Italian in New York betrayed an Italian girl, and when she insisted that he keep his promise to her and marry her, he laxighed in her face and called her a vile name.

The poor girl, smarting under her great wrong, secured a sharp knife and nnder pretense of caressing her faithless lover, cut his throat. She was tried and convicted and sentenced to be electrocuted, but her friends took an appeal and the court has ordered a new trial. There are a good many people who sympathise with the girl, and think that a reformatory institution instead of the death chair would be the proper thing, and they will make an effort to secure the girl's acquittal. It is to le hoped that they will succeed. And now the women of Brooklyn have began a crusade ag'aiinst the high ihlat and the big bonnet in the theater.

They hlave requested the owners of theaters to post notices in the lobbies asking ladies to remove their high headgear on enlterSng the theater, and to have rooms where the bonnet or hat can be checked. This is a step sa the right direction, but the good women of Brooklyn will find members of their own sex who will be so rude as to disregard the request, and solely because they wlsh to show the flower gardens perched upon their heads. The only way to compel the disappearance of the big hat and 'high bonnet is by Iaw, sudh as they have in Ohio. That touches the spot. Harrisburg is going to 'have a real o2kl fashioned Fourth of July celebration, with picnic, fireworks, speeches, addresses and everything that goes wrtih itihe eeMbrafion, nokl we are going to have a big time.

Last year a celebration of this character was projected ami successfully Carrie! out, and thousamls of peopto spent tine day En a rational manner enjoying the time in a family way, afnd being all the beicter for it. This can be repeated wiith profit this year, nml we wish the project much success. The "Telegraph" to day begins the printing of a mystery story from the pen of a Jady who needs no introduction to its readers. Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones has been a frequent contributor to the columns of ithe "Telegraph," and always in a (bright, clever way.

Her story of "The Letter will be read with interest by the patrons of this newspaper, and they iwill be profited theasefby. The Alabama Deniocrates declared for free silver at the rate of 16 to 1 And thus is more misery added to Grover's cup. He had an idea that the convention would declare for sound money, but the Alabama Democrats are not taking orders from Cleveland this year and they turned him down. On the question of silver the Democracy are hopelessly split. The live wire was responsible for an other death in Philadelphia yesterday.

Some day they will arrange the live wire so that it will not deal death at 1flie touch. It is a wonder that the scientists have not made some effort in this direction. Chairman 'Gowdy, of the Indiana Republican State Committee, hiaa come out for McKinley, and says he SbdEeves 90 per cent, of the Republi cans of Indiana are demanding the nomination of the Ohio man. The Ohio jimmy seems to have been used to some effect in Mr. Harrison's State.

"The Letter BY Mabel Cronise Jones. Written for The Telegraph. CHAPTER I. Valentine Harrington, lawyer, philan thropist and millionaire was dead foully murdered in his own home. The murder was not discovered until many hours alter it occurred.

When Mr. Harrington, usually the soul of punc tuality, Tailed' to appear at tne eignx o'clock breakfast, Ms daughter became alarmed and thurried to his room. There was no response to her knock; opening the door of father's bedroom, a merely oursorv sla.nce told her that her father had not retired at all the nigh't before. Overpowered by a vague terror, she passed on into 'his private study. There, isintimfir ibefore his desk was her father his eyes fixed and staring witlh the awful vacancy that death alone can Impart.

He was dead shot from boaiind; there had been no struggle, no resistance; death had been instantaneous. itiis daiugnter cries brought the household to her side at once, and in less than (hour the coroner, pnvsicians and police were irn possession of premises. The medical examination allowed that dieiath had occurred from a bullet piercing itihe lungs. The deed had been committed some time before midnight; probably albout ten o'clock. The investigations oif the coroner and police were remarkaibly it appeared that all of tne servants ex cept the footman and one maM had avail ed themselres of permission to attend the wedding of a girl who 'had formerly been dhoimbermaid in the house.

They had not returned uinltil long past niidniglht, and at that time it was evident from the medical testimony that the erime had already 'been committed. The footman, an old man who had been In Ithe employ of the family for twenty years, and who seemed thea rt broken at the tragedy, said tihat Mr. 'Harrington, after the late dinner on the evening before had left orders that he should not be disturbed Iby any callers. He (had gone directly Jto his strady, carrying a bundle of papers in fhlis hand, and in all probability had never left the room again. This portion the footm'an's testimony the coroner found amply confirmed by the story of Mrs.

Onslow, the only chlld of iMr. Harrington, who, with her husband, was temporarily making her home in the house of her childhood. Mrs. Onslow, as ciistomiairy, had gone into her father's study early in the evening to read to him and help Ihifm with his somewhat burdensome mail. He had sent her away, though with m'amifest reluctance, making a light jest albout an important case whith (he was obliged to go over itihat might.

Mrs. Onslofw left hian unwillingly and never again saw him alive. Mrs. Harrington had died many years before, and the fanilily consisted only of iMr. iloiring'ton, his daughter and son in law, and the servants.

Mrs. Onslow, shortly oifter leaving her father, had summoned to the drawing rooni to see some callers, and had remained there until Malf past lfeven. Her 'husband had beea with her a portion' of the time; he had probably gone to the smoking room when he left her. "No," she said coldly, in. reply do the insistent questioning of the coroner, had not remained long in the draiwing rooni, and flie had not stated where he was going when he left." "Was it not strange.

tMiit no one had heard the pistol Shot?" "No," Mrs. Onslow replied slowly, "I do not think so. The wind was blowing furiously enough to deaden all lesser sounds. Besides, were having a rather noisy time in the drawing room trying some new songs. Then, too, father's rooms she jaused to still the terror that ic rept to her lips.going resolutely on a moment later "fatiher's rooms were in a wing, at the further part of the house.

Yon did not, then, go to your father's study after the eaSlers left?"

They were rough men. not possessed ol mnven educa tion, yet every one of theni could see that Helen Onslow, despite her tearless and cold csomposure, was suffering as not one woman in ten thousand would. Bfhe was oassing up the sitairs with steady step, when a whisper from one of the men reaidhed her remarkably keen ears. iShle paused, reeled, turned and walked back to the coroner.

He was alone in the Study, and looked somewhat surprised at Mrs. Onslow re efltrance. "I suppose the crime was committed for money?" she asked imperiously. "His jpockets were emptied and all of Ms iewelry is gone his watch, ring, scarf pin, etc," the coroner replied witih a peculiar hesitation "yet, how could a burglar have gained entrance? Your windows around were not open as tibey would 'be in sunimer time; I find on the most careful investigation, that every one was found securely locked and fastened. There as no evidence that any one of them has (been tampered with.

You can trust, the footman, Mrs. Onslow?" he questioned searching! 'As I would myself," she answered firmly; "you must harbor a breath of suspicion against him. He is nearly frantic witih grief now." Onslow," the coroner said gently, "don't you see that the crime must have been committed by some one in this house? All of the doors and windows were securely fastened this morning. there was a light snowia jc evening, after time for closing the blinds, and I find that 'it lies on the sills of the windows here, all undisturbed. See, the 'blinds are inside ones, and I have ordered the servants not to raise the windows or to brush away the snow.

There is not a print of any kind at any window. No one even attempted to gain entrance thus." "There are doors; a person might have been hidden in the house and slipped out unobserved by the door." "That is hardly probable, Mrs. Onslow. Your house is too thorougly watched to allow such opTKurtunirdes. The only doors not locked and Chained early in the evening were the servants' door anil the front dwwir.

The assassin could not have escaped by the servants' door, for there was no kw in it: the servants had locked the door and carried the key along. By the front door the assassin would narcuy nave dared esoane. because, if I understand you aright, the drawing room was full of guests rrom eariy tii iue evraims uum long after the crime was perpetrated.

The coroner bowed. There was really nothing for ihim to say, and he silently locked tihe two (doors, n'anding ner both keys as they passed out into ithe hall together. As she reacned the little group ot nouice men asuin.

she saw that her huslband had joined them and was engaged in con versation with weni. Nhe walked directly to him, "Dearest," she said distinctly, "will you come wiith me for a few moments? I need you." Gerald Onslww Stowed and fbllowed her up the broad stairs. His mind was filled with wonder. When in their two years of wedded life had Helen ever addressed IhElm so affectionately before, and ito the presence of strangers, too. ffshe piotbatoly had some object in doing so; 5f he had not learned anything else about his wife dur img their married Kfe, he had learned, at last, that she seldom adted without a definite motive.

As they reached her private room, Ihe opened the door for her to pass En, closing at again, and looking steadily down into her face, as she stood in the center of the room, pale and wian. "I wish I could help you.Helen," he said rather sadly; "if we were like other husbands and wives it might be a little comfort to you to talk out your grief to me. As Bt Es It is horrible for you Helen," "Yes. hlonriJble," she assented, shudder ingly, "but as yet I have not realized the awfulness of ft. I have not thought.

I daired nfot. Gerald since you lost all you rmoney in those unfortunate speculations 1 know ihia't you and father have not gotten on so very well together. He was irritated because you would speculate a tiling he always albom'imiated and you Were proud, atnd so you chafed both at Ms strictures and lat our dependence on hlim. But but you are sorry for me, Gerald, in spite of all? say it; let me hear you speak the words," she pleaded impetuously. A great (blaze of anger flaished into Uhe man's eyes as he looked on her, then without one syllable of reply, he (turned on.

his heel and walked away. His wife stood rooted to (the spot for a ew momen ts, then threw nerseix into a cnair, givnmg way to an albamdon of grief that would Wave appalled any onlooker had there been one. Half an hour later she seemed to recollect herself. Goling hurriedly to her desk she dashed off a brief note. "Send the 'butler here," she said imperiously to her maid, who looked almost a's haggard as herself, "and then go down itb the coroner.

He wants to ask you some quests ens." "Oh, Mts. Oinslow," the girl cried in teirror, "I can't go, I don't know anything at all. dt frightens me even to go near the room. I can't, indeed I can't, he "Be s51ent," her mistress commanded, sternly, I cam stand it, you can. It is nothing to ytou after all.

"Yes ma'am," James returned in a subdued tone, so different from its usual hea.T'tiy TesonoMce. that it spoke volumes for the man's mute sympathy. Helen turned aiwaiy almost impatiently.

She Is a Clubwoman and Is Interested In Ijiteratnre.

The mistress of the executive mansion at the state capital of Illinois, Mrs. Emma Ford Altgeld, is a woman well fitted to be the wife of the governor of a great state. She is a woman of refinement and talent and possesses many accomplishments which help her to grace the station which she occupies. Mrs. Altgeld was born on a farm near Mansfield, O.

As a girl she lived out of doors much of the time and became an expert horsewoman. She attended Ober lin college, where she paid special attention to the study of music and literature. She became Mrs. Altgeld in 1878, when her husband was a struggling young lawyer. She shared in his early struggles as well as in his later successes when he became a judge.

The Altgelds were enjoying the comforts of a pleasant home in Chicago when the judge was nominated for governor. In the exciting campaign which followed Mrs. Altgeld was constantly with her husband, traveling night and day for wreeks. When she became mistress of the executive mansion, she found that her social MES. EMMA F.

ALTGELD. duties had been greatly enlarged. Up to that time she had taken but little interest in society, but she readily adapted herself to the changed conditions. Mrs. Altgeld has a great deal of literary ability.

She has always been a close student, keeping abreast with the times in a manner that no woman who devotes much time to society could possibly do. She has appeared several times on private lecture platforms to give talks on art, music and literature, and she has even written a novel. This is called "The Nortons," and, like the short stories which she has written, it was published over a nom de plume. She is a clubwoman too. In Springfield she is an active member of the Woman's club, and in Chicago she was one of the ladirg spirits in an organization of a similar character.

She has no children and devotes most of her time to the management of her household and to her husband. She takes an interest in but dees not like politics. Altogether she leads a busy life.

From the Cfironicle, Chicago, 111. Notwithstanding the poor are always with us, Thanksgiving is none the less a day of rejoicing. Many charities have been dispensed and through numerous instrumentalities the necessities and sufferings of many a worthy person have been relieved.

Absent members of households reunite at the old homestead and gathered around the festal board recount the incidents that have taken place and the various blessings that have been vouchsafed them they assembled at the last annual meeting by the same fireside. It is a time for memory and for joy. Among the countless families of Chicago there is perhaps, not one to day that feels a deeper sense of gratitude to the Giver of all good and perfect gifts than Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Collier, of 4904 Armour Avenue.

Mr. Collier, who is the electrician at the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad shops in this city came here from Hamilton, Canada, a little more than nine years ago accompanied by his wife and little daughter, their only child Etta, then acred four. Xittle Etta was a bright and beautiful girl, but not a very robust one. For the last fevf years she had been somewhat ailincr, but her condition was not such as to create any uneasiness in the minds of ner parents, who almost idolized her. In the school she was regarded as one of the brightest scholars of her class and was the envy of her class mates.

Although but a little over twelve years of age, her intellect was phenomenal. She was "possessed, however, of a very nervous temperament which is frequently the case with children of her advanced intelligence. Early in the month of June last, owing to a sudden fright, she was thrown into violent spasms, to recover only to be afflicted with St. Vitus' dance in the worst form. The consternation of her parents may well be imagined.

Of course the best pnysicians were summoned at once but their efforts to restore her to her normal condition were devoid of results. She continued to grow worse, her appetite wholly failed and commencing with her right arm her whole right side and lower limb Decame limp, numb, and useless and what little nourishment she was able to take had to be administered by others. To add to the seriousness of the case she was unable to obtain any sleep whatever. It was while in this deplorable condition hovering between life and death with all the prospects of a premature grave before her, that one day on returning home from his duties Mr. Collier found awaiting him a newspaper, which an old acquaintance in Hamilton, his former place of residence, had Bent 10 iiiiu uy mail Tn the local columns be rend of ihn rncp of a certain person he had known years be fore having been permanently cured of the cuuiumiuk oi ma own uauuiiHT was t1 5 1 1.

aprS 2w rnoi of the class that there was no longer any hope to bo held out as it was a malady which in this instance at least was incurable. It was therefore witli a feeling of utter despair that Mrs. Collier first began to administer the Pink Pills. She says a perceptible change came over the little one before even the second box had been emptied and how after having used six boxes her health is entirely restored. In the early part of her illness her intellect was very much clouded.

She had become extremely dull of comprehension hardly realizing the meaning of words when addressed. Seen to day in the cheerful home of the Col Jier'a on Armour Avenue, she is the personification ot health. Her nervousness has entirely disappeared, her intellect is bright, keen and active, her strength has returned and the roses in her cheeks attest to the complete recovery of her bodily health. She is now ready to resume her music lessons and as soon as the schools open after the holidays she will again take up the studies which she so suddenly left off on that eventful June day. The sister in law of Mrs.

Collier, Mrs. Lewis, who was present at the interview emphatically confirmed all that Mrs Collier has said regarding the past and present condition of little Etta, adding that a famous physician in Hamilton invariably recommends Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in such cases as this and many others. Mrs. Collier herself has for a number of years been a constant sufferer from a female complaint which so far has baffled the skill of the doctors, and during a period of less than six months her husband has expended over two hundred dollars in fees for medicines.

She has now begun the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and while it is as yet too early to announce a cure in her case she feels so much improved as to express the belief that her physical troubles will shortly be of the past. These are some of the reasons why the Collier family return thanks on this our national day of praise and festivity. The above is a correct statement of facts concerning my little daughter and myself. Mks.
