2 I'HIDAY EVEMNG I The Popular Philadelphian For Speaker. A STALWART REPUBLICAN 'Dalzell is Regarded as a Chronic INSURGENTS DINE TO NIGHT Philadelphia May 12. The candidaev of Gen. Henry H. Bingham for the Speaker of the House of Representatives con itinues to meet the approbation and the enthusiastic support of the active Repub licans of this city.

The leading Republicans of interior counties who have been in town within the last few days have ali expressed themselves as being in full sym tathv and heartv ar ord thi a ticn to honor a progressive, eloquent and able representative of the Keystone State. General Bingham has been one of the most aggressive and capable members of the House of Representatives on the Republican side for many years. Pennsylvania has been honored with the Speakership in the election of Muhlenberg, Grow and Randall, and General Bingham is generally recognized as being particularly well equipped for this honor. Represents Stalwart Republicanism ine caiKUoacv at lieneral is looked upon as emphasizing the principle of stalwart Republicanism. Reprcsenta tive John Dalzell, of Pittsburg, has been mentioned for the Speakership of the House, no' doubt, by men who have not considered the; question of his attitude toward the organization of ths Repub'ic an party of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Dalzell is 'about as much worthy cf consideration for this honor by the Republican organization of Pennsylvania as would be the Honorable William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Dalzell saw fit to repudiate the Republican organization of Pennsylvania in the recent canvass for the United States Sen atorship. He cast his lot with the insurgents.

He accepted a nomination for the United States Sena torship from the men who bolted the Republican caucus and became an independent candidate against Col. M. S. Quay, the unanimous nominee for that office of the Republican caucus. waizni noiirr.

Dalzell is looked upon, therefore as as much entitled to consideration from regular Republicans in this matter as would be any Democrat, Prohibitionist or other minority candidate. Dalzell has rr claim to recognition from the Republican caucus to consider the question of the next candidate to be supported for the next Speakership of the He publicly and flagrantly violated all the principles and traditions of the Republican party last fall and winter by his indorsement tnd support of the insurgents' campaign against the candidate of the Republican caucus for the United States Senatorship, Colonel jjM. Quay. Having thus publicly shown his disregard and indifference to the time honored usages of the Republi i 1 1 .1 i i i loyalty to the caucus nominee, Dalzell and his friends are now looked upon as tak ing themselves beyond the limit of recog nition.by the men delegated by the Republican organization to administer the affairs of the State. Fllnn's Prcnlinr Function.

William Flinn, the chief of insurgents at the recent session of the.JegiB lature, proposes to give a dinner this evening in this city to the men who with him placed the chances of their future political preferment at stake, blindly bolted the Republican caucus nominee on the United States Senatorship and supported several independent candidates for that honor. Flinn, backed by the power of the im mense municipal patronage and perquisites if the city of Pittsburg, is am independent power in his own right. No matter what the Republican State Convention may do, he is free from local interference. But the members of the Legislature who followed his leadership and who live in districta where the' untrammeled sentiment of the Republican party is expressed at the are now very seriously concerned as to whether they will continue to misrepresent, the Republicans of their respective localities. Flinn and his coterie of cueus bolters have been repu dated in every county in which delegate elections have been held, and the issue has been fairly raised.

There is not a single district in Philadelphia where a contest could be made, upon its merits, where the candidates running upon a platform of "Jarty regularity would not win. Armstrong for lury. Senator William B. Meredith, of Armstrong county, who was in this city yesterday, voices the sentiments of the Republicans of his district, when he says: "In our section of the State we strongly believe in majority rule. There is no diubt that there will be an overwhelm 1T1 or ma isvt i xr .11 xl i 1 ucicgaiucs in uue Dll eail State Convention who believe and who will sustain this principle.

They will be in. absolute control and will select the officers of the convention and wil name the candidates who will be here in this principle. The insurgents nut a lot of in Armstrong county, but all. the boodle they can produce will not prevent a triumph of stalwart Republicanism and an indorsement of the men who voted for Colonel Quay for United States Sena tor."

Heb. 10:29, 30. Ps. 111:5, 89:34. A covenant is a mutual agreement be tween two or more parties.

It is a thing to be ever remembered and never to b3 broken when once made unless the covenant contemplates a wrang action. The covenant the Christian makes never contemplates a wrong action for it is made with God who never plans for the doing of but only for the doing of that which is right, perfect, and holy. When man then makes covenant with God he covenants to do these things that, are just, holy, upright, honest, honorable, holy, and so no covenant made between God and man ought ever be broken by man it nerer will be broken by God. These who enter into this covenant are ealled God's people, or sometimes God's covenanters. From this term came the term so much used in Scotland? Arnold says: "We are not to separate God's covenant with us and ours with Him so as to understand the two as independent.

Indeed, it will be found necessary to put the two in clos8 connection, for no pledge can be kept which does not tear out the. idea of the divine element in the covenant." So far as that divine clement goes, God covenants to do two things for His children concerning sin; to forgive and to fortify. All sins He will 'remember no more and He will 'cause them to walk, in His and to 'keep His With such a contract signed with Gcd's name, there is no reason why any one should refuse to undertake the Christian life, or to take the vows of the Society of Christian Endeavor." The prominent element in God's dealing with man has been seen in every covenant He has made with him, in that God has ever shown a readiness and purpose to do good to man just so far as man has been willing to receive good from God. The promise made to Noah that as long as the earth stands there shall be heat and cold, "Summer and Winter, night and day, seed time and harvest, is one that all men accept gladly, and act upon their faith in the promise. They depend upon its fulfillment.

They believe in the orderly following of season upon season, and in the reign of law in the physical world around us. But the higher blessings of the spiritual life blessings covenanted by the same God who has established the laws of the universe these higher blessings men are not ordinarily ready to receive, nor to appropriate this covenant to themselves, and while God is willing to do His part and to pour out the Holy Spirit upon them, to keep them in perfect peace, yet men are not willing to permit Him to do to them this best, this highest good. Let all Christian Endeavorers defend upon the covenant God made with them, and depending on it and remembering their covenant with God study to show workmen approved of God, 500 IX PRIZES.

The penalty will be imprisonment at hard labor. As teamsters, mechanics and most laborers are accustomed to work in undershirts, with short sleeves, the decree is likely to cause commotion among the lower classes.

For years the phonograph has been the great wizard's pet. He has spent all his spare time in vain attempts to eliminate the metallic, rasping quality of its tones. Leon P. Douglass, a young Chicagoan, who looks about 20 years old, has in doing this by a remarkably simple invention. "I worked for somethinglike ten years on it, and tried a hundred complicated arrangements, and then a very easy solution of the difficulty occurred to me," said Mr.

Douglass. He has enlarged the cylinder, or "record," of the Edison machine five times its former size. By this he accomplished two things dispensed, in great measure, Math the unnatural and harsh tone, and increased the volume of its original strength. The trouble with the talking machines heretofore has been that the little ball which caught in the irregular tone grooves of the cylinder would touch the high points and skip the low ones. The result was like picking out all the thin, harsh tones of the human voice and blending them into the phonograph voice.

Mr. Douglass reasoned that by enlarging the cylinder the size of all the points of contact could be proportionately enlarged, so that the ball, in passing over the recorded surface, would touch each one. The result has been very satisfactory. The machine repeats words and musio quite realistically, and stands other tests as well. STRANDED IN WASHINGTON.

Discharged Volunteer Army Officers Selc Places In the Regalar Army. Several discharged volunteer army officers who are endeavoring to secure appointments in the regular army furnish a counterpart for the army of office seekers who become stranded in Washington and move slowly but surely down the toboggan slide qf adversity. Many of these officers came to Washington immediately after being mustered out with the hope of securing permanent positions in the army. Some of them remained there, putting up at the best hotels, hoping by some hook or crook to land in the army. Gradually their funds became low, and, like the ordinary office seekers, they were compelled to seek cheaper lodging.

They rapidly dropped from the first class hotels to the boarding houses, becoming seedier in their personal ap pearnce all the time. To day there are a number of these unfortunates there who stillcling to their uniforms, but have discarded their caps, shoulder straps, and buttons, and have lost the military bearing of a few months ago. In these unfortunates few people would recognize the military heroes of a few months ago who marched home as a port of the victorious army to the plaudits of the nation and the folks at home. From the present outlook none of them will succeed in securing remunerative po sitions, and a few soldiers who are willing to serve their country will probably join that great army which is constantly talking about the ingratitude of republics.

Cassell' THE HAE11IS BURG TELEGEAPIL MAT 12, 1899. SQUEEZED TOO HARD, Miss Boone's Novel Grounds for Action at Law. One of Her Admirers Was Entirely Too Emphatic in Shaking Hands with Her and She Thinks She Should Have Of all the causes on which have been i based suits for damages for many years, says, the Philadelphia Telegraph, the novel perhaps is that advanced by. Miss Edith Boone, who claims $15, 000 as a salve for injuries resulting from squeezing of her hands by Fred erick K. Farrow.

The latter resides at the southeast corner of Twenty ninth street and Columbia avenue, and is employed as a prescription clerk in a drug store near Fifteenth and Jackson streets. Miss Boone, who is 17 years old, lives at 1227 South Twentj' seventh street, the home of her brother in law, Charles Lavender, through whom the suit is brought. The affidavit on which in common pleas court No. 1, before Judge Bregy, a writ of capias ad respondendum was issued against Farrow, who securettoail for $1,50.0, is an interesting document. In it Mr.

Lavender says, in part: "The said Frederick It. Darrow, with great force and violence, caught hold of both hands of said Edith Boone, plaintiff, with his hands, and for a long space of time pressed, squeezed and mashed both hands of her, the said plaintiff, whereby and in consequence whereof the said plaintiff's right hand and left hand were contused, bruished, mashed and and seriously, grievously and permanently injured, so that the same have been cf no use to her; and that as a consequence thereof she, the said Edith Bcone, plaintiff is advised and believes that her right hand will have to be amputated, and her left hand so injured, maimed, contused and wounded that the same will never be of any use to her: arid that said injuries' were so inflicted upon her, the said Edith Boone, pin IT, by him, the said Frederick K. "Tir defendant, purposely, viciously and MASHED HElfc LITTLE HAND. wickedly, and with the intent and purpose of hurting and injuring her, the said Edith Boone, plaintiff." It is also declared that the plaintiff has suffered and will continue to suffer all her life "excruciating mental anguish and physical pain," and will be unable to take proper care of herself or earn her livelihood. When interviewed at her home Misa Boone had one hand completely bandaged and apparently had no control over the member.

The other hand also appeared to be affected. Her sister, Mrs. Lavender, told the following story of the affair: "We have known Mr. Farrow for some time, and while he was working as a dry goods clerk in the store beneath our rooms he took his meals with us as a day boarder. He was here about eight months before the affair occurred.

I always thought well of him and he appeared to me to be a nice young fellow. On March 11, 1S98, a little over a year ago, he came in to dinner, and, after joking with us, seized both of Edith's hands and commenced to squeeze them." At this point Miss Boone continued the story herself. "Fred wouldn't let go of my hands. I asked him to," she said, "for it hurt terribly. He held my hands for ullw five minutes, pressing them very hard, and finally I cried and begged him to stop.

He did so, and a few hours afterward my right wrist swellled a great deal and purple. I showed it to him, and he only laughed, saying that it was nothing. "I went to the Polyclinic hospital soon afterward, and they did all they could for me, but my hands have never been right since. I can't do any work with them, and my right hand aches constantly. They are getting worse instead of better." Mrs.

Lavender said that the physicians had told her that necrosis might be developing, and in that case it was extremely probable that amputation would be necessary. The metacarpal bones are said to have been crushed. Mrs. Lavender stated that Farrow had repeatedly refused to come and see Miss Boone during the summer, and when reproached by her Mrs. Lavender became very indignant.

The defendant, Frederick Ji. Farrow, who is 21 years of age, and graduated about a year ago from the college of pharmacy, was orator of his class, and bears an excellent reputation among all who know him. He deplored the affair, and said that he never meant to injure the girl in any way. "We were always good friends, and I was sort of skylarking with her one day, when the affair occurred. We were in fun at the time, and she only complained of a slight soreness in her wrist afterward.

My case is in the hands of a lawyer, and I cannot say what my defense will ON EVERY BOTTLE Of Shiloh's Consumption Cure is this guarantee: "All we ask of you is to use two thirds of the contents of this bottle faithfully', then if you can say you are not benefited return the bottle to your druggist and he may refund the price Price 25 cents, f0 cents and $1.00.
