j '"In the session of lOo, the Legislature,
following a custom aud habit that bad
grown almost into the regularity of law.
elected and placed more people upon the
roll of employes of House and Senate
than the law provided for; finding that
three additional employes wire necessary
for the proper transaction or tae basidess
of the Legislature. That Legislature of
fai.ed to make an appropriation suf
ficient for the payment of thb.se extra em
ployes. The Legislature of 197 enacted
that appropriation, aud tbe Governor of
tbe Commonwealth approved the law
that made it possible to piy these extra
employes.
"M r. Elkin committed an rror of judg
ment in giving a bond, but I bold that so
far as the administration was concerned,
with the approval of tbe act passed two
years afterw ards for the payment of extra
employe of tho session of l-SUo, that he
had an example furnished him by the
same people w ho removed biui from of

ami future Legislatures will be brave
enough, if they need more ofli uals to
conduct their business, to pass laws to
make their employment legal.
" I have known Mr. John Elkin ever

If Tan Keely't Secret t
Philadelphia Prvs.
The investigation which tbe Press has
carried on in the laboratory or workshop
but recently the abiding place of Keely
and b:s famous motor has brought to light
a condition of things w hich affords strong
ly presumptive evidence that tbesecict of
the Keely motor has been discovered. The
conclusion of Mr. Carl Heriug, Professor
Arthur W. Goodspeed, Mr. Coleman Sel
lers jr.. and Mr. Clarence B. Moore, that
the evident liberal use of metallic tubiug
capable of withstanding gres' Treasure,
in connection w ith the presence -f a re
ceptacle capable of giving all the neces
sary pressure, suggests possible fraud,
and the use of compressed air seems en
tirely warranted by the situation.
Kecly had everything under bis own
control in bis workshop. Investigation
in the ordinary sense of the term was not
allowed. He refused U let E iison make
a complete study of his laboratory under
test condition?. No reliable physicist who
ever entered tbe workshop aud saw an ex
hibition ever expressed himself as satis
fied with the conditions, or left iu auy
other than a skeptical frame of mind.
Ztliuski. at the gun tests in l!i.vi, said
"compressed air." Other experts at the
laboratory on other occasions said : "It is
compressed air or compressed gases of
some sort." All this was bitterly donied.
Though Keely confessed to deceiving his
stockholders for the good of the cause, be
stoutly averred that be never deceived bis
visitors, did not nse any of the known
or normal forces of nature, aud bad no
means of utiiu'dng them in bis machines.
"It would seem, however, that secret
tubing would go a long ways toward per
forming most of bis experiments so long
as no one looked into what was in or go
ing on In tbe room below while tbe ex
periments went on in the room above. It
niiy be that all these tubes were innocent
and conveyed uotbing more serious thau
polar negative currents or the sympa
thetic ether; but certainly a little com
pressed air ought lo have proved a boon
wheu the "po'ar negative" got its mass
chord in a kink and refused to work.
Thi testion is therefore, ia compressed
air Keely 's secret?
"I have known for four years the so
called secret, of Inventor Keely," said
Nicola Tesla, the famous electrician.
"When the reservoir aud pipss were
found I knew that the surmise I had long
entertained was correcL I would like to
believe that Keely was not a dishonest
fellow, and believe bim simply to have
been a man who erred so that be w-old
have accomplished no great tbing bad be
lived a dozen lives. Although he evi
dently used compressed air iu his exper
iments it does not follow that he did this
deliberately to deceive. Acting on my
conjecture I have performed most of tbe
experiments reported.and still more won
derful ones to tbe lay mind."

Iu the Urt plairo ail should know that
the method of counting by Arabic cota
! tion is 1 y units aud tens; w e bein oount
- ing 1, 2, 3, etc. up to 10; we then add 10 to
make aud ao jjix to hundreds and
j Ih'tusands J
j One writer snys : "The figures always
J indicate past years, not current years,"
! aud follows the alove truthful statement
with "the Kith year of this century pass
ed tway at.uiid-iiifcht December 31, Kst'S."
j A third-grade sch'olboy would not fall
1 into this error. Counting 100 we must be
' gin with 1 and count to 10, adding each
succeeding 10 until we have 100, which,
multiplied by IS give us l-3. To make
1W we musf add US to lSXl. llc.w can the
writer referred to get nil out of 95 as the
above quotation indicates aud then say:
"the figures always indicate past years?'
On the same principle the wiiter would
accept for i'JX
Again he says: "Wtare not in the year
1S but in the year ixy plus 10 days" '
e iufer that he means that we are 19
days in tbo year K'J. Let us take w heat
to illustrate this point: Suppose I meas
ure the writer 11 M bushels of w beat, and
I do it by filling the bushel measure by
piuts. Wheu I have dipped the measure
full it is 1 bushel, and soon until I get
1S bushels I then begin on the lstHHh
biishel and fill in a pint and one half ; now
I atn about as far w i.h the wheat as w e
are wiih this year 1".'9. After I have fill
ed this IsW-h bushel and then till another
for him he will have 1KW bushels Now,
I must begin on the next huudred by fill
ing another bushel, or. in other words,
the next century will begin on January 1,

Death of David Fearod.
David Penrod of S.oyes'own, who was
taken lo the Memorial hospital, Johns
town, a week sgo for treatment for a
diseased leg, died at that institution Sat
urday evening at .Y.'Sn o'cbH-k. His death
was due to hoart failure resulting from
the sh ."k of a for ed amputatifiu of his
leg.
Penrod's erudition was considered bo
serious to permit ainputotion and the dis
eased leg was being treated iu the hope
that Mr. Penrod would giin strength.
Saturday moruing be was being placed in
position on the operating table, prepara
tory to having the 12 lance.!, when the
member broke off lietweoi the knee and
thigh, only the shreds of diseased llsh
holding the parts together. This made
amputation imperative and shortly after
II o'clock Dr. Hannan, agisted by Drs.
Sheridan, Haight and Kris amputated
the leg at the hip. Penrod rallied and
seemed to be getting along remarkably
well until i-'iO p. 111., when he died sud
denly of heart failure. The physiciaus
regard it as a very unusual case and were
surprised that he lived so long when the
disease was so far advamsod. The bones
of the leg were practically rotted away.
The disease is known as n-rosis
Penrod was 57 years of age. His re
mains were renliveJ t Lis late horns at
Stoyestown Sun lay morning from whence
they were interred Monday afternoou.
Spain's Sunken Ships Floated.
Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat of
the eeiitury has been tbe raising of some
of the Spanish warships w hich w ere ap
parently shot to Lieces at Santiago. It
seemed utterly impossible to float them
because of the terrible dam 'ge ir flicted
tyonrguns, but the task has been ac
complished. Diseases of the bluod,
stomach aud liver frequently wreck the
health so that there appears to be no
chauceof recovery. But when Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is taken, the disordered
system is speedily restored to its old-time
vigor and tone. The Bitters will regulate
the liver, bowels and digestive functions
and purify the blood. You can buy this
remedy in auy drug store, and under no
circ-umstanees should you accept any
thing said lo be "Just as good."

Harriafcarg Letter.
Harrisri'ro, Jan. 22, 1M.
Pp.xrlsl enrraqxindenre of the Hera!d.
As long as the Senatorial question re
mains unsettled tbere will be lit'le if any
legislation paxsed. Every bill that
has beeu introduced in the Senata
aud House is viewed in the light of a
"snake" by one or the other of the fight
ing factions the "bolters" being so sus
picions that some law inuring to the ben
etit of Senator tj-iny will be rushed
through that it is believed they would
not vote the usual appropriation to tbe
public schools while tbe deadlock con
tinues. The best evidence of this being true is
the cry set up by the "bolters" against a
bill introduced by Senator MeCarrell,
which restricts the right of District At
torneys to stand aside jurors to felony
cases only. Tba same bill has been be
fore the legislature on several former
occasions whan it was endorsed by a
majority of tbe Common Pie s Judges of
the State, by leading attmieys, and by
the lesL newspaper sentimeuL
There is not a citizen of the State who
has been called upon to do jury service
who does not realize the unfairness of tbe
present law, which gives the prosecuting
attorney the right to stand aside jurors
until he guts a panel filled with 111 eu of
his own choice. The Commonwealth
should not ask for auy advantage in the
trial of a luisd jmeauor, but it would be
hard bo imagiue a mora unfair and surer
way of railroading a defendant to prison
who had happened to incur tho ill will
of the prosecuting attorney, than this
The defense should be giveu in all fair
ness the same number o( challenges as
the Commonwealth.
Another meritorious bill that has been
introduced seeks to regulate tbe method
of granting teachers' professional certid
cites. It is proposed to make the exam
inations uniform throughout the State,
tbe examination questions to te prepared
by the Superintendent of Public In
struction. I'nder the present njfcthc.d,
whore lo-.il committees eond-iet the ex
aminations, it is possible for teachers who
do m t poms tbe required q;ialiua' ions
to teach a graded school, to score pro
fessional certificates Professional edu
cators throughout th) Cmin in wealth
are aroused and th" probabilities are that
the bill w ill Icciinea law.
But, tbe making of laws for the benefit
of the people of Pe-nusy! vani 1 is a miuor
consideration iu th eyes of the repre
sentatives w ho hare l-een ser.t here fr
that purpose. The sole toric of conversa
tion is the sjccessiou to Senator Quay.
As an evidence that the bolters are
prepared to vote for a Democrat for United
States Senator, the speech of Represents
live Koontz at a c-a.iins of bolters and
Den.oerats culled for tbe purpie. of pro
testing against a ruling by the Lieutenant-Governor,
is pointed to. "He is,"
said Mr. K'XHitz, referring to the Demo
cratic candidate, 'one of the ablest law
yrs in the State of Pennsylvania, and
the Republican paity bus so right to go
sneaking iu the dark w hen such men are
presented."
This declaration caused tKii.iter nation
in tha ranks of the "bolter," who were
dismayed to have such high encomium
pa.-ed up m the Democratic candidate I y
one of their steering cimmittee, and not
a word in commendation of John D il.ell,
C W. Stone, John Slawart or the other
eminent gentlemeu for w hoin the 'bolters'
have been voting for S niator. Flinn and
Martin exchanged significant glances
while the Democrats applauded vigor
ously when Mr. Koontz resumed bisseaL
A straw indicates the way the wind
blows Koontz may return to bis con
stituents carrying tbe banner of Jeuks
and Guff'ey. Stranger things bare b p-p-?ned.
U U generally believed here that Mr.
Kooutz's 0. ilea cue would like to support
H lay. but M r. Kendall hovers ouslatitiy
in Kooutz's shadow, and in the hojie of
escaping tha opprobri.nu of being a
"Me-Too," cast his vote for C. W. Stor.e
for Senator.
Tbe a'.-tion of Senator Weller, in voting
for the confirmation of A'torney-General
Elkin, was a biow to tbe "Ixdtors," that
even "li," Flinn has beeu unable to
satisfactorily explain. Mr. Flinn has
pronounced eulogies over the poliCcal
remains of Senator Boyd, of Fayette, and
the other D-jimx-rats who voted tor
Elkins' continuation, but he bus refrain
ed from denouncing Senator Weller in
public Weller, it is said, formed au ac
quaintance of "Bos" Martin, when the
Philadelphia chiefiain was imbibing tbe
waters of Bedford Springs last summer,
and listened to the cooing e-f the gentle
David under tho shade of the crimsor
maples until be i willing to run counter
to the voice of his constituents at a nod
from the municipal dictator.
Senator Siineman, of Cambria, is ex
tent with the pronouneod stand he hs
taken in favor .f S-nalor IJ'iay. He has
received seveia! reams of telegrams from
Blair county f.isioiii-,ls directing him
how to vi te, but he sys ho was elected
by Republicans and w iil not take orders
from tho enemies of the Republican,
party.
There is no telling at this time when
the deadlock will be broken. Senator
Qnay bas returnei to Washington, lear
ing bis campaign in the hand" cf State
Chairman Elkin. Wanny bas gone back
to Philadelphia to spend Sunday, but will
return on Monday to assist the Demo
crats smash tbe "machine" that bas giv
eu him so many sleepless nights and
throttled bis ambition to sit iu tbe United
States Senate.

If there never was any good reason
why Senator Quay should be elected
certainly tbere is one now. One hundred
and twelve Republicans out of one hun
dred and sixty-four havedeclared by bal
lot that be is their choice. Is it reason
able for them to give way to fifty-two
Republicans ud eighty-four Democrats?
Xo saue man would think so. Let tbe
fight for Quay Le fought out if it takes
ail summer. Franklin Repository.

In Bradford county, Representative
Piollet was defeated for renominalion
last year, and the Wanamaker machine,
which strongly opposed bim, claimed the
result as 'a victory for the people," and
"a rebuke to the bosses." And now Mr.
Lewis who defeated bim at the primar
ies, is the only one of tbe three Bradford
Representatives who supports Quay. In
this be contends that be is carrying out
the w ishea of a lar.e inajoril) of bis con
stituents, as well as the instructions of lbe
comity convention. H's colleagues,
Messrs. E ltnistou and Manly, though in
structed for Quay by the convention, re
mained out of tbe caucus, and are count
ed as following Buss Martin In opposition
