REPORTS OF FACTIONAL IN'TERKST Dr. Swallow was not at the Methodist Book Rooms this afternoon when a "Telegraph" man called to learn whether there was anything new to be said on his side in the suits for criminal libel begun against him yesterday by Capt. J. C. Delaney and Representative W.

F. Stewart, secretary of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools Commission. There was a story on the streets this afternoon to the effect that certain prominent gentlemen, who have been identified with the anti Quay organization, would come to the relief of Dr. Swallow in his fight against the State officials. It was stated that eminent counsel would lie provided and that the investigation would not to be allowed to end until every charjte made by Dr.

Swallow has been thoroughly ventilated. These reports could not lie verified in the absence of the editor of Ill Pennsylvania Methodist. Dr. Swallow said yesterday that his local counsel, E. W.

Jackson. would be ably assisted and to day those mentioned as likely to lie engaged in the suit on the side of the de fendant were Congressman Simon P. Wol verton, of Sunbnry, and Thomas Vale, of The hearing on Tuesday evening will take place before Mayor l'attersou. that time leaving been fixed to accommodate District Attorney Graham, of Philadel phia, who has been engaged by the State officials, in connection with local counsel There is a report that Dr. Swallow will.

waive a hearing and furnish bail for court. As both sides seem anxious to push the matter the case will likely be called at March quarter session court. ARREST OP DR. SWALLOW. Governor Ilaatlnga Said That There Wu ao jmer louie to nur.

Speaking of the arrest of Dr. Swallow, editor of the Pennsylvania Methodist, on charges of criminal libel, Governor Hastings said: There should be no misunderstanding about the purpose of the arrest of Rev. Dr. Swallow, it is not a case or persecution In any sense of the word. On the other hand, it ia the only method left by which the truth or falsity of the allega tions which he has made in his paper can be speedily ascertained.

Dr. Swallow proposed impossible conditions in his article for revealing the sources of his informa tion and the evidences of wrong doing. such commission as he demanded could be legally appointed or empowered. The Legislature has refused to pass a esolution calling for an investigation, Rev. Swallow having been regularly sub poenaed to appear before the joint com mittee oi tne eenate ana nouse investigating the cause of the fire, declined to give the source of his information or any facts whatever to establish the guilt or innocence of the parties against whom the allegations of wrong doing were made.

and, therefore, the only method left to obtain the evidence which Dr. Swallow as serts is in his possession was to invoke the aid of the established tribunals of the State, the courts. 'In the trial of thte actions wnicn were nstituted (and they will be pushed to a speedy trial), if Dr. Swallow substanti tea the charees which he has made in his editorial utterance, he cannot be regarded but in the light of a public benefactor and entitled to the respect and commendation of the people of the State. If, on the other hand, he shall fail to make good his allegations before judge and jury, it will at least have given the accused officials an (vnnortnnirv to vindicate themselves ana stand before the community freed from the suspicion of blame.

I am deeply in terested in the matter ot navmg tnese statements verified or proven false and the surest and most effective manner of readi ng this end is by the process adopted by the accused officials." Dr. Swallow Mast Adiv. r. Philadelphia Times. The fact that lioei suits are tnreateueu against Dr.

Swallow may excuse him in withholdins his information from the committee of the Legislature, but he cer tainly could not do so without the committee civintr its assent. Under the law he is required to answer any legitimate question relating to the subject of in quiry: and as many ot nis accusations were directly in the line of the investigation ordered to be made bv the joint com mittee, the law is mandatory that he shall answer every question propounded to him for the purpose of eliciting information as to direct or indirect abuses in the manage ment of the State Treasury That the committee has power to compel him to answer or punish him for contempt will hardly be doubted. The public charges were made voluntarily, and they were so pointedly specific that he should be ready at a moment's notice to vindicate the truth of the charges, he has publicly made affecting prominent officials. The fact that Dr. Mwallow proposed an impossible tribunal before which to try his crave charees.

does not relieve him in any degree from testifying before a committee of the legislature. The man who makes grave charges of perjury and thelt against onicials cannot cnoose a inminai eimreiy outside of all judicial and legislative authority, Itefore which to vindicate his cause. hen he made tne damaging ac cusations against the State officials they stand and summon him to responsibility for his art ion. while none will take note of the tribunal he demanded liefore which to present his cause.

More Than Six Hundred Prominent Penaiflvanluu Da Him Honor. At Horticultural Hall, in Philadelphia, last night, a distinguished company of Pennsylvaniansr more than six hundred eat down to a banquet tendered by the Republican State League in honor of United States Senator elect Boies Penrose. Isadore Sobel, president of the Republican League, presided, and 10 his right gat the distinguished guest. Senator Penrose looked in splendid health and upon his entrance to the hall was greeted with, hearty applause. Among the distinguished men at the head of the table were Congressman Hicks, of Altoona; Congressman V.

A. Stone, of Allegheny; Congressman J. B. Robinson, ex Judge F. Carroll Brewster, James Elverson, State Treasurer Haywood, Congressman H.

de B. Clay, of Virginia; Judge Audenried, Judge Penny packer, Allen B. Rorke and other notable men. The always regal magnificence of Horticultural Hall was still further enhanced last night by the art of the decorator, and the scene was unquestionably the most magnificent banqueting picture which the city has shown in recent years. The spacious marble stairway approaching the hall was aglow with delicately hued azaleas, great palms and drooping vines, and in the center of the floral setting was a portrait of Senator Penrose.

Inside the banqueting room was a scene of dazzling magnificence, the tables showing a perfect blaze of gorgeous color, in contrast with thie vast expanse of anowy linen, flittering glassware and silver service. On each one of the aeven lone tables in tne gridiron were lavisn plateaus of carnations, roses, tulips and daffodils and handsome vases of floral irems. Vases towering high and tilled with huge bunches of pink carnations alternated with silver candelabra and the table decorations were finished with profuse sprays of smilax and asparagus vxiie lie piartormi oenino tue chairman a table was gorgeously banked with niuk and white azaleas and palms, in the center of which was placed a splendid life sized oil painting of United States Senator Uuav. which, nail Been sent on trom 1 lar risburg for the occasion. Above in the galleries were more palms, and the hand some silken banner ot the 1 enrose Re publican Club, bearing a portrait of Sena tor renrow.

un eitner uie or tne nail was a large crayon portrait of Penrose, framed in a tri colored keystone, and at the end of the room, in the center between the entrance doors, was a flag trophy from the Penrose Club, showing the national. State and city colors. Thtrouchout the service of the dinnet there was the liveliest spirit evinced among the participants, the seating having pro vide. I that tne men irom eacu section ot the State should be seated together, there by providing the fullest chance for social eniovment. Orchestral and vocal music enlivened the evening and during thie din ner many imtriotie? airs were rendered and sung with much vim.

A pietty souvenir menu containing a handsome portrait of Mr. Penrose was distributed and the boutonnieres were roses of varied hues, fastened with a metal pen. Senator Penrose was the first to sieak. The mention of his nrme by President Sobel was the signal for an ovation which was with difficulty subdued, only to breai; out again and again. Then the orchestra played "Hail to the Chief." and the stalwart Senator, looking every inch a man, with suppressed emotion viewed the scene.

which might well be accounted a triumph such as is met with by but very men in a single generation. The token of personal regard was certainly the greatest ever accorded a P.hfiladelphian in the memory of the oldest man present. Letters and telegrams of regret were re ceived from the President elect, the Vice President elect, Senator Quay and otheis. Among the speakers was Senator McCar rell, of this city, who soke briefly. lie said that it was a subject of great con gratulation, that after the difference of opinion and sentiment wnicn nad markf the contest, now over, all could unite in honoring the man who had been chosen Senator.

It was a matter for general re joicing that so able a man had been so honored by the General xne election of Mr. Penrose to the Senate would aid the great victory which had been won last November. In closing he said that the Commonwealth might rejoice that in its borders it could see looming up Peace, Prosperity and Penrose. Much of the credit for the great success of the dinner is due District Attorney Meade D. Detweiler, of this city, wno wus secretary of the League Committee of Arrangements and whose fine taste was displayed in the decorations and souve nirs.

Signs of Returning Prosperity With the Advent of the McKinley ministration Washington, Feb.

27. The entire people, even the majority of those who voted for Bryan, are at this moment watching the gas of returning prosperity which will follow the inauguration of William McKinley next Thursday and feel cheered by the outlook. The reports at the Treasury Depart meuit also show a tendency to a lively ex vrt trade in American manufactures. The export of American steel rails into the very heart of that industry in Europe, it ia claimed will exert a wonderful stimulus upon the American export trade, as it will attract the attention of the nations of the world to American manufactures and will explode the notion largely en courased and expanded upon bv the Eng lish manufacturers, that our wares are inferior and expensive. The passage of the new tariff act will lie followed by reciprocity arrangements which will won make themselves feit in the various fields of American industry.

It is generally believed here by prominent Itepublh ans who are gathering in anticipat on of the inauguration of the new regime, that the labors of the administration and Congress will not only be directed to the unloimr of "the dastardlv work of tho moribund concern about to make its exit, but will by wise legislation restore confidence and anticipate every moans by which the highest prosperity may be obtained. The ai)Troiria tion bv the State of Rhode Island of ten thousand dollars for tno proter monumental and commemorative marking of the presence of their Continentals at Valley Forge during the fearful winter of 1777 8. recalls the fact that this np time little State was also the first to respond to the act of Congress in vitinjr each Start in the I'nion to place in the old Hall of the ItepreKenta tivca in the Capitol at Washington, statue in marble or bronze of two of their deceased sons who had lieen citizens thereof and had been illustrious for their historic renown in the civic or railirary service as the Sraitea may determine worthy of national commemoration. The subjects elected by "Little Hhody" were Itoger Williams, founder of Rhode Island. nd founder of civil and religious liberty in America, ami Nathaniel Gmw, Major tiem rnl in tin Continental service, pledging the service of his sword to his I'juiiiry.

It was made by a woman without genius or exM rience anil should lie withdrawn from the place, where it now stands the butt of ridicule, and stood up in a corner out of sight as a monument to th' iMtnmission which employed such un skTed hands to defame one of the sturdy military characters in the war for American independence. It would be doing justice to the State for its legislators now in t.

inaugurate a movement to recall this abor t.on and replace i't by a work of art. It would also be well for this same Legislature to pass an act inviting the thirteen original States to place some suitable milk within the sacred precincts of Valley Forge in commemoration bv art of the pri seiict there of their heroic sons. These sites should be granted for such purpose fno of expense, the spleen ion of the location to be agreed nxu by the JStmte com miss oner of the Valley Forge Park and the representatives of the State proposing ti) make such commemoration.

This is a mistake. It is administered from the platform iu front of the Capitol and in the presence of the many thousand people who always assemble to witness this interesting ceremony and to listen to tht inauirural ad dress.

The ceremonies within the Senate chamber are limited to the swearing in of the Vice President elect and the newly elected Senators. All this transpires before the arrival of the President, the President elect and the Presidential party at tne tjapitoi.

He also presented various slides, which were carefully examined by the teachers.

Several specimens were exhibited under the microscope, which were also examined by the teacher present. Kvery person I was highly elated with the talk.

Corbett T.rta TTp In Timlsalaic. Carson. Feb. 27. James J.

Cor httt. acting upon the advice of Billy Delaney, decided yesterday to let up a little in his work. Delaney fears that Jim will do entirely too much in practice, and Cor liett's recent performance easily justifies his apprehension. Corbet worked for an hour and a Quarter yesterday morning instead of two hours as usual, and yesterday afternoon's session was also shortened. Corbet said: "While I think I am the best judge of what sort of work I should do and how much I ought to crowd into a day.

I am convinced that Delaney knows a whole lot about training a man for a fight, and I shall give in to him to a certain extenj." At quarters, where Jeffreys had a lively ten minutes with Jim. Corhett worked up some great short arm tactics with him, and had instructed him to go at him as roughly in the clinches as he knew how. In the heat of argument Jeffreys landed just once a glancing straight left on the. chin, but it didn't have the force of a full flesh blow. However, it surprised and he was a bit nettW.

Whn Woods came on he received some slamming that even his pneumatic armor couldn't make pleasant. Fitzsimmons said yesterday: "If it keeps warm the snow will all Ik gone lie fore Sunday, and then it will be so much the lietter. I don't like to run owpr snow and ice. as I am likely to slip and sprain a tendon, and you know what that would be. My cold is all right now.

It bothered me a little at first, but it does not interfere with my work and will soon disappear if this warm spell continues." Referee Siler is Incoming palpably concerned regarding his peculiar isisition as St. Patrick's Day moves nearer. "I desire that there shall be no question in the public mind as to what constitutes a foul in my judgment." he said resterday. "Each will Im conally informed beforehand.

LXVL, NO. 48. MniTfliririHrlhiFiMrfrdii 1 A News 0. vo Hone People Read It cccccccccccccccccccci Column. I Some English towns have entirely abolished the calling of various wares on their streets.

Even the newsboy is not allowed to shout, in vociferous aid ear splitting tones, the iilaines of the various papers wliirh wishes to sell. He may quietly offer his possession to the passerby, but in no ease is he allowed to shout aloud rbeir names and retail the blood curdling items of news which they may contain. The Englishman's matutinal nap is not broken any Sunday morning by the shrill voices of "eager newsboys, each striving to ontsnriek the "other. Xeither can the rural resident drive through these English towns at a snail pace, while their various offspring regale the neighboring citizens with unintelligible accounts of fresh vegetables, ripe apples, et cetera They must plod along in weary silence, and so must the vender of tish or tinware. The milkmen, are ut allowed to ring bells.

They must knock at the doors of their customers and conduct themselve with all possible quietude and eirennispeetion This is one aspect of the case. We may poke a little fun at the staid and slow going English people, but after all, they have much practical common sense on their side. The average length of life of an Englishman is nearly en years longer than that of an American who follows the same pursuit or profession. Medical men will undoubtedly attribute the difference to the unceasing, unending bustle and eon fusion iu which we delight to live. The streets of the ordinary English village are absolutely quiet by half past eight.

There are no crowds to wear out tired nerves and hlasten physical exhaustion. Harris burg is probably a trifle worse than most cities of its size as regards this last matter. Here children of no more than six or seven can be seen on the streets night? of ter night, until 10 and 11 o'clock. It is a poor preparation for their future lives. What they learn on the streets is certainly not lseneficial to say the least.

Many of the English hoteis, even some of those in London, and some of the largest ones, too, have placards posted conspicuously in all the halls and rooms, requesting visitors, or more exactly speaking, ordering them, not to shut doors moisily, and to indulge in any talking in the corridors after 9 o'clock. How would that work in this country? A florist of considerable repute has issued a tasteful little circular inviting people to look up the legends of the rose, and promising that the publicshall shortly hear more from him on the subject. It struck Gossip that the theme was a very happy and prolific one. It is interwoven with the traditional history of many countries and it figures prominently in many daring episodes of the age of chivalry. Gossip has not made any researches on the subject himself, but a few legends recur to his mind now.

There is the expression "sub rosa," the terms synono mous for secrecy and silence. Do you know where i't originated. History has It that long ago in the days when Venice trembled tinder the despotic sway of ithe TJfoges that there was one special room in which the heads of Venice would meet there was any matter of great momen to he discussed. They sat close together in the very center of the room, and talkeu in whispers so that no traitorous spy or servant might overhear their oonversatoin. The ceiling of the room, after the custom of that day was most beautifully painted, and directly above the heads of the official was a gorgeous red rose.

Beneath that rose were discussed the weightiest matters of staite. Men were there condemned to a death, which it was futile for them to try to escape; despotic measures were ruthlessly and secretly planned azid carried out, all "under the rose." Then every one knows the story of the "War he Roses." the rival claims of the Dukes of York and Lancaster to Eng land's throne. The utterances between tt.be two cousins grew more and more intensified, until at last the one turning swiftly to a rose bush that grew in the palace yard, plucked a red rose, saying vehemently "Let all who will uphold my claims, pluck a red rose with me." His cousin, standing by, turned instantly to a white rosebush, and plucking a beautiful rose, challenged his friends to do the same. Thus it was that the red and the white roses became the emblems of two powerful houses. Tine Indians believe that in many rosea are imprisoned souls, which have not Tet found entrace to the "happy hunting of the spirits." In some of the inrSor parts of South America, the rose conspicuously in all religious ceremonies.

la the East, there still lingers aroum? tills flower the mythology of the ancients, and a rose bush which starts up with apparent spontaneity in a person's yard, is tMippoeed to bring the owner boundless good fortune. In Spain (a sequence perhaps of the old Italian legend) a rose is frequently placed at the plate of each guest when some subject of grave importance is to be discussed at an official dinner. The rose signifying, of course, that whatever is said at the table must, under no circumstances, be repeated. And so Gossip might multiply the legends and instances in which the figures eonspieulously, but no doubt each reader of the Telegraph can do this for himself. PERSONAL.

Annual Banquet of the Scotch Irish Society of Pennsylvania. At the Hotel Beilevue in Philadelphia last night the annual banquet of the Scotch Irish. Society of Pennsylvania was spread. Lr. W.

1 1 Egle, M. W. McAlar ney, Robert Snodgrass and other Harris burgers were present. Every one of the speeches seemed inspired with the Scotch Irish pioneer porridge, which was one of the archaic articles on the bill of fare, and the descendants of the men who had carried civilization into Western Pennsylvania by means of the Bible, the catechism and the long barreled musket, did ample justice to their ancestors from Ulster county. And as an evidence that this fighting quality that made that history had not left the present generation, one of the members, Captain John P.

Green, first vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, electrified and enthused his audience with a scathing denunciation of the present jingoism of the United States Senate. At the conclusion of his remarkable speech he was warmly congratulated personally by many of the member W. H. Hunter, of Ohio, spoke of Ohio's debt to Pennsylvania. Scotch Irish blood.

Judge Stewart made a good speech on the Cumberland county Scotch Irish, and J. W. Woodside also spoke. John K. Co wen an" Marcus A.

Haraia were unable' to be present and speiak, and J. Bayard Henry drew applause when he said that to Mr. Cowen, a sound money Democrat's personal efforts McKinley in a great measure owed the States of Maryland, West Virginia and Kentucky. Impressive incidents were the presentation of a wooden spoon to the retiring president and presiding officer, James A. Logan, and the serving of the pioneer porridge, carried around 'the room in a large bowl and preceded by a man dressed in the historical costume of the pioneer rifleman of revolutionary times.

In front of the president was an exact model of the log house of Rev. Dr. MoMillen, who was one of the first who carried his Bible and his gun inito the Western Pennsylvania wilderness. The following officers for the ensuing year were elected: President, William Rigbiter Fishery first vice president, Justice Henry W. Williams; second vice president, James Pollock; secretary and treasurer, Charles L.

Mclveehan; directors and members of Council. A. K. McClure, T. Elliott Patterson, Rev.

J. S. Macintosh, Hon. R. M.

W. Porter, Key. S. D. McDonnell, Robert Pitcairn, James Pollock, C.

Stuart Patterson, Colonel John Casse Is and William J. Latta. At the close of the banquet Dr. Mc Cook, who had presented three historical papers on the Scotch Irish by title earlier in the evening, requested every Scotch Irishman to forward to the society his genealogical Itree, reaching back to his Ulster progenitors and giving the movements of the family in their settlement in the new country. This will be the beginning of an adequate history of that sturdy race.

THE COMING CONCERT. "St. Paul Will be Snug tor the First Time In This City oil March 18. The old time enthusiasm seems to be taking possession of the members of the Harrisburg Choral Society, and our music loving people. The oratorio of "St.

Paul," which will be sung for the first time in our city, on March 18th, has developed no little fervor in thie society, and from tne reports received as to the demand for tickets it would seem there Is a general impatience to hear that magnificent work of Mendelssohn. Such a concert is in itself an education. "It was a composer of chamber and concerted music," says Dole, "especially of symphonies and oratorios, that Mendelssohn was great. His greatness consists not in those overwhelming effects characteristic of the music of a later day, but in a calm, symmetrical beauty. In this he is unexcelled.

As a man, as a friend, in all the relations of family and society, Mendelssohn stands alone and apart. His letters have endeared him to the world. He is known as few other composers have ever been known." John Dwight says: "It is too much the fashion with young critics, and 'disciples of the to estimate Mendelssohn far below his real worth. But all new fashion bring their own reaction. In this case the reaction will be purifying and salubrious.

A reviving interest" in Mendelssohn's music Will be so much new guaranty against all false, extravagant, or morbid taste. hile music remains music, whatever may be the ups and downs of the fashion, whatever the novelties of style or method, however startling the juggleries of brilliant execution, the genius and the art of Mendelssohn will still hold good. Their fascination may be lost awhile amid the louder clamor of phenomenal newcomers; in more sane reposeful hours, it surely will return withl many a sweet surprise. What oratorio society of high aim and standing, can afford to let "St. Paul" and "Elijah," or the "Hymn of Praise" lose any of their lustre through neglect of frequent practice? Indeed, to ignore all his greatness, is to convict oneself of very youthful bumptiousness of spirit, an arrogant fanaticism of unreasonable modern ness of taste." The "St.

Paul" will be sung with distinguished singers for the solo parts, an orchestra of thirty selected musicians, a chorus of a hundred and sixty or more trained voices, sad the leadership of Dr. Gilchrist, whose work in 5t own best commendation. A rich feast Is before our people. Mr. IIn.Ury Will be CluUraumn.
