From offished in camps cial figures which I have recently comthe period from May 1 pleted, covering 30, I find that the total to Sepember deaths as a result of the number of war with Spain was 2,906. Of this number 107 were officers. At Santiago of life was 22 officers and 232 the loss This is an average of one officer men. for every ten men. Ar Cardenas one officer was killed.

Since the battles on Cuban soil 61 men have died of wounds received in service. "The total er of American soldiers that have died in camps from disease is 80 officers and 2,520 privates, or an aggregate of 2,600. This is a remarkable record in view of the terrible climatic disadvantages." In his interview Mr. Evans called attention to the large percentage of officers killed, and attributed it to the work of the Spanish sharpshooters in the trenches. He also expressed the opinion that the relatives of the sailors killed in the Maine explosion are entitled to pensions as if the loss had occurred on the field of battle.

These matters are interesting and the 1 latter gratifying, but they are Aside from the purpose of this article. What we especially wish to point out is that the 1 losses in the Cuban war from deaths in camp were not abnormally high as measured by the standards of the past. The Dream of Christian Unity. The advocates cf Christian unity see hope in the action of the recent convention of the Episcopal church. Especially the friends of Christian unity in that body are encouraged to believe that there will be good results in this direction from the liberal rule adopted.

As it is expressed by a contemporary. "By allowing entire congregations to place themselves under the bishop's spiritual guidance it is hoped that they will become in every sense members of the church. Some of the supporters of this resolution believe that by this means all the Protestant denominations will eventually unite." Divested, however, of the enthusiasm which generally surrounds any proposition looking toward the union of Christians, it isn't very promising. It is altogether unlikely that one of the smallest of the Protestant denominations will effect a union of all the other bodies in itself, and that is the real object of the new rule. When it is considered that the membership of the Protestant Episcopal church after an existence of nearly 300 years in this country is scarcely a half million souls, it is to be doubted that the absorbing process will prove very successful merely from a desire to come under the supervision of Its bishops.

The Methodist movement in its various branches numbers upwards of 10,000,000 followers. The Baptist church have more than half as many; the Lutherans number the Presbyterians have upwards of a million: the Congregationalists have about the same membership as the Episcopalians. A moment's consideration of these figures will show how hopelesg the hope expressed for unity from the new departure of the Episcopalian convention. These denominalions are as thorougly alive today as al any period of their history. They are as firmly grounded in their convictions 15 ever and A8 zealcusly engaged in propagating their distinguishing principles of religious faith.

Each one, no doubt, would be happy to have Christian unity an accomplished fact, but each one is filled with the desire to see the union made in own fold. Religconvictions are not like political platitudes. They are vital, and to these who hold them uncompromising. 10 they were otherwise they would not be convictions. They cannot be set aside for convenience sake.

of However pleasing the dream Christian unity maybe it only a dream and we fear as far from realization now It But nevertheless, the 88 ever was. action of the Episcopal convention shows a spirit of toleration which will far to draw nearer together varthe lous denominations in the general work of if Christianity in the detail dogma and discipline.

SCHEUER, Jr. Third C. MACKEY Fourth F. REYNOLDS Don. Smith and the Jennings Case The Jennings case is famous in story If not in song.

It is the chief argument of Cornelius Smith in his canvass for the judgeship. Smith has used it incescantly as a proof of his claim that jusVice cannot be obtained in the courts of Lackawanna county as at present constituted. To make this claim Smith finds it necessary to prevaricate. He misrepresents. He has done it so persistently and there has been so little eftort made to set the public right, that there are a great many persons who believe that Jennings has never been able to obtain a verdict, that the Lehigh Valley company have never paid anything for the injuries suffered by Jenpings.

It is all false, and nobody knows it better than Cornelius Smith, as he is the one who received the money, 040.51, and for aught we know has it yet. In the terrible catastrophe at Mud Run on that fatal October 10, a young nan named James Jennings was inured more or less seriously. He was bout eighteen years of age and a son of John G. Jennings. He was taken to 1 hospital after the accident and in a lay or two discharged.

He had what called a "chicken breast." His father rought suit against the company to -cover damages for alleged injuries to le son. It was claimed by the plaintiff lat the "chicken breast" was the Etit of being squeezed in the wrecked ain. The defendant claimed that the alformation of the young man's east was congenital, that he had it om birth. Evidence was offered to pport both contentions, but a verdict is finally given for Jennings in the of $2,500. The case was No.

37, arch term, 1889. The verdict was ated June 17, 1893. 8 On December 19, 1893, John G. Jenrings receipted the voucher of the Lesigh Railroad company for the amount of the verdict, interest ani costs, in all $3,040.51. He endorsed it to the order of C.

Smith. The voucher was endorsed by C. Smith and paid to him, being stamped with clearing house stamp on December 21, 1803. A copy of the voucher follows: Comptroller's Office, Dec. 16, 1893.

If the same man is nominated for a single office by five parties there is no reason at all why his name should appear five times in as many different columns.

This causes confusion, makes the ballot far larger than there is any necessity for and facilitates sharp practice in multiplying nominations and in combining unrelated tickets in a single column." The Press is right. Chicago grand juries frown on people who throw eggs of undoubted antiquity at speakers whose sentiments are not in accord with the opinions of their audience. A true bill has been found against seven individuals who have been engaged in this stale amusement and the case is attracting wide-spread attention among many people who have never expressed any strong intentions of thus announcing their view on publib questions. The Lesson of History One week from yesterday the voters of the state of Pennsylvania will be called upon to select a man as their chief executive for the next four years. It is.

of course, a matter of vital interest what manner of man he shall be. But the question which confronts the people of Pennsylvania is a larger one than can be contined to the mere personality of any candidate or any set of candidates. The history of Pennsylvania politics in the last two decades contains a couple of chapters of striking application to the present situation. It may be interpolated at this point that no state in the union is more closely allied to the Republican policy in its interests, and in the social and economical relations of its people. It may also be brought to mind, that it the entire history of the country there have been but two elections of a president when the winning candidate did not receive the electoral vote of Pennsylvania.

Those two occasions in and 1892. In both years Rewere. publican candidate was defeated. But it is a curious circumstance that at both times the executive branch of the state government in this overwhelmingly Republican commonwealth was in the hands of the Democracy. It does not need a highly philosophic mind to see a relation between those circumstances.

Twice since the initial triumph of the Republican party has that party been defeated in a national election. Twice has the banner state, Pennsylvania, turned its back on its principles. In 1882 and again in 1890 through factional differences and from listening to the siren voice 01 Democratic reform promises, apathy and indifference handed this state over to the minority. On both occasions th victory was a rallying point for the national Democracy. The fact that the sterling Republicanism of Pennsylva nia had yielded to the attack of the enemy, gave them the courage for A general assault, and so filled them with enthusiasm that despite the fact that Pennsylvania herself returned to th Republican fold, the Democrats sueceeded in naming a president in eacit of the succeeding national elections.

There is one way which the Republicans of the state can encourage the Democrats to hope for a similar sucin 1900. Defeat Colonel Stone, the Republican nominee for governor. This will give impression to the country, right or wrong. that the state of Pennsylvania has repudiated the Republican party, that it is ready to receive the Democracy with all its in- of cubus industry-wrecking policies. It will nerve the Democrats for another two general charge years hence, and In the light history and experience is something be dreaded.

If this unhappy result brought about, if Penn- sylvania's industrials are to be jeop- ardized, none but the Republi- cans this state will to blame. They In their power to check the enemy in first line of attack, and to drive him back demoralized and disheartened so that he will return the charge two years hence without enthusiasm and without hope. Let the Republicans consider their solemn duty in this matter. An Independent Judiciary. A circular which is being distributed by the supporters of W.

W. Lathrope, Prohibition candidate for judge, and which bears the signature of A. Thomason as chairman of the Prohi- bition party, contains the following: "No Republican is running for Judge In this county.

Written for The Republican. Mrs.

Fannie Miller of Glenburn was born in Northampton county, in 1815. Her maiden name was Dershiemer, and she was the eldest of a family of 10 children. She became the lawful wite of Andrew Miller in 1837. They started on their matrimonial journey in life with a limited outfit for housekeeping, and with only 13 cents in lawful money of the' realm. The first 10 years of their married life was spent in the Wyoming valley.

In 1847 they started with a team and covered wagon for the far west. In that unique and novel manner they penetrated the then wild west as far as Wisconsin. Mr. Miller, not being favorably impressed with the country, and finding that his wife was manifesting strong symptoms of homesickness, he son turned the faces of his team Pennsylvaniaward, and paused not on the journey, only to make necessary stops, until their feet were firmly planted on the soil of their native state. The entire round trip was accomplished inside of ninety days, at a cost of only $60.

In the spring of 1852 Mr. Miller bought the Joshua Ager farm in what is now Overfield township, Wyoming county, where by industry and the practice of close economy he secured a competency in about 40 years. Mr. Miller died in 1891, leaving his family in comfortable circumstances. John B.

Miller, the only living son, resides on the homestead farm and is proving hiself to be a faithful copy of his honored sire in the accumulation of property by agricultural pursuits. Mrs. Miller is leading a quiet. retiring life with her amiable daughter, Mrs. Henry W.

Northup, on his fine farm in Glenburn, where she in her old age is permitted to enjoy the familiar sounds of crowing. cackling, gobbling fowls, the lowing of a herd of fine cows, the neighing of good horses, where the flavor of excellent fruit in their season greets her olfactory nerves, and where the products of the farm and garden are daily spread out before her to tempt her palate and satisfy her hunger. Few old ladies are blessed with a home as pleasant as is Mrs. Miller. W.

H. SEAMANS of Benton was born in Connecticut and will be 83 years of age November 14, 1898. He came with his parents to Abington when he was 2 years of age. He bought the place where he now lives and moved into the woods in 1844. His wife was Junia Townsend.

They had one child only, John Seamans, who was instantly killed by being struck by a locomotive at the South Branch crossing of the L. W. R. R. near Factoryville about eight years ago.

Mrs. Seamans died some seven years ago. Of W. H. Seamans it can truthfully be said that as a neighbor, citizen, husband and father, he has through life thus far by the exemplification of correct principles pertaining to all those different characters secured the reputation of being a model, manly man.

He is a staunch Republican and a firm believer in the doctrine, tenets and faith Universalism. Mr. Seamans has, by industry and strict economy, acquired a nice property. He has always ben generous and kind to the poor, and when he dies the poor people of his community will, in case they cherish in their hearts a sense of gratitude, mourn the loss of a true friend. Only two sisters survive him.

Mrs. Osena Capwell of Factoryville and Mrs. A. H. Read of California.

PHINEAS STANTON was born in South Abington and will be 81 December 14, 1898. He was the eldest of 10 children and is now the only one living of that large family. He was the son of Samuel and Polly Stanton. Fiftytwo years ago he married Eliza Caroline Wiedman, and 50 years ago he purchased the farm in Benton where he now lives, and cut down the first tree ever felled thereon with an ax. In his young manhood he was a skillful axman and for many years of his early married life he was the possessor of a fine, well-broken ox team.

He was always a man of good morals, with no relish for law suits, and on the whole a. very good man. I never heard him use but one oath, and that was simply no oath at all. It was "by which he sometimes, under peculiar circumstances, would fire off with an empositiveness. and with a very nophatic ticeable, soulful unction.

He is the father of four living children, to wit. Mrs. Willard Bailey, Mrs. Moses Holley, Albert Stanton and George W. Stanton, the popular funeral director of Factoryville, Pa.

DEACON JOSEPH CHASE of Fleetville, was born in Rhode Island March 2, 1810. He was next to the eldest of 11 children, now has but one brother and one sister living, Hiram Chase of Fleetville, who in feeble health, and Mrs. A. W. Gardner of Factoryville, the mother of Dr.

H. D. Gardner of Scranton. Mr. Chase's parents came to Abington from Rhode Island 1817.

In 1832 Joseph married Mahala Phillips at the residence of the bride near Abington Center, The ceremony was performed by Rev. John Miller. In 1833 they began housekeping in the woods the place where he now lives. Mrs. Chase having died he inter-married in 1855 with Amelia Holford.

Rev. Elnathan Baker of Benton Center, allas Fleetville, tied the matrimonial knot. This proved to be a congenial. pleasant alliance. But in 8.

For the present adieu. PARDON M. GREEN is my only living brother. He resides on the old homestead farm two miles east of Factoryville. He was born the 20th day of October, 1838.

He thinks that one of the most important events connected with his life occurred on that day. Therefore he cherishes the recollection of that day and is always willing to have his birthday celebrated. He thinks all the more so inasmuch as it so happened that Nellie, his first born, was born on the same Gay of the same month, and later on, his second son, Ernest, came into existence on the self same day. An unusual coincidence. Three births in one small family, on the 29th of October.

A triple birthday party came off at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Green last Saturday, October 29, 1898.

I had no invitation, but I managed to happen along there about noon and I unceremoniously walked right in just as any other cheeky unbidden guest would have done, and found myself among a score or more of merry-making, musically-inclined, jolly, rollicking members of the fiddling fiddler's family. Say! Pard plays the fiddle well, and Nell; well, she at the organ, makes the music tell. in "charm to soothe the savage breast," as I know full well by personal experience. Oh! that dinner. Huldah is a.

good cook. Sister Huldah is. Roasted chickens in abundance and other viands to match. No sick people around that table. Not even one with a weak stomach.

All partook freely. I gorged myself. Others did the same. I assisted in clearing off the table until I reminded myself of the young lad who did not have liberal and palatable rations at home that my niece, Mrs. Arthur Dean, of Waverly, tells about.

The boy was present at a certain church festival once on a time, and was being treated to a square meal by a generous friend of the lad's family. The hungry boy ate voraciously, proving conclusively that the capacity of his stomach was entirely out of proportion to the rest of his corporeal system. He finally paused to take breath, whereupon one of the waiters approached him and said, "Charley, can't vou eat any more?" Straightening himself up and after drawing a long breath of relief, he replied, I can chaw yet, but I can't swaller." Well, the record last Saturday was Pard Green, 60 years, Nell Reynolds, 35: Ernest Green, 23. We certainly had a jolly good time. Fun and music galore.

Two or three stories, perhaps four, possibly more, were told by L. B. GREEN. Fleetville, October 30, 1898. DALTON.
