' Sharpsville furnaces which have been HOSTS 0F DEMOCRACY. Platform Adopted 'by'tlie State Con- vention at Reading. ‘ GOLD STANDARD DENOUNGBD A an... anionic Principle Reiterated—Sym- pathy For Cuba and the Miners—In- vestigation of the State TreBS-‘ urer’s Office Demanded. Reading, Pa., Sept. 1.—The following is the platform adopted today by the ' Democratic state convention in session here: We,‘ the Democracy of Pennsylvania, in convention assembled, heartily re- affirm and reiterate the principles of the Democratic party as expressed in the platform adopted by the national convention at Chicago in 1896 and ap- proved by 6,500,000 free and independent voters. We are firmly and unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, which has been the direct cause of the financial distress that has fallen up- on our people since its adoption, and we are in favor of a complete and immedi- ate return to our original specie basis as it existed prior to the demonetization act of 1873. We congratulate William J. Bryan, the glorious champion of a righteous cause, on his masterly leadership in support of their principles. We denounce the Dingley tariff law as a measure designed and passed in answer to the demands of trusts and monopolies, every important feature of which is a refuge for the protection of some trust or combination existing in opposition to the public good and in violation of the common law. The schedule is in brief an assessment upon the individual citizens of the country for the benefit of trusts in return for money advanced to carry the recent election and add enormously to the bur- dens of labor by increasing the costs of the necessaries of life without enhanc- ing in the least respect the wages of labor. ' A Good Word For Cuba. ~We abhor the character of the war- fare waged by the government of Spain against the inhabitants of the hapless island of Cuba, in which the humane methods of civilized warfare have given place to savage atrocities committed upon unarmed civilians and defenseless women and children. The ruthless na- ture of the conflict waged as well as the danger to our own peace inevitably re- sulting from the further continuance of such a system of anarchy so near our border renders immediate armed inter- vention by our government imperative. .IWe ask the honest people of this com- monwealth togxamine the legislative and other records of Republican action. in Pennsylvania since the assumption of unlimited power conferred at the last election, the gross extravagance, the flagrant-corruption, the total neglect of everywpublic interest, the abject servil-. ity to monopolies and every form and Species of jobbery, the utter disregard of constitutional mandates, thg reckless hampering with finance and taxation, the' exhaustion of the treasury by prof- ligate expenditures, the consequent suf- fering of public schools, charities and other objects-of wise public care, to-‘ gether with the scandalous fury of the factions enraged over the spoils of the prostrate commonwealth and of its sev- eral ring ru‘ed cities. We esr- "~“‘\ call attention to the mancfr‘m 11.1 of the state treasury de— partmrrt and demand an investigation of the Doc 'rs and accounts of the state treasurer. a full statement of the re- ceipts and expenditures, a complete ex- planation of the deposits of the state funds, semfrities held, bondsmen thereon as required by statute and an itemized report of securities held by such favor- ed banks fcr said funds and the amount of contributions made in consideration of such deposits to the campaign fund of the party in power. ‘ Sympathy For. Miners. We sympathize with the miners of the commonwealth in their unequal strug- gle to obtain a fair compensation for their daily toil and declare that the an- cient and Anglo-Saxon right of trial by jury‘ought to be preserved, and we de- plore the tendency of certain federal and state courts to detract from this right by an unwarranted extension and abuse of the remedy of injunction in differ- ences between capital and labor. We hereby ratify the selection by the Democratic state central committee of James M. Guffey of Pittsburg, who so ~loyally supported the Hon. William J. Bryan for the presidency, to fill the po- sition of national committeeman from Pennsylvania on the national Demo- cratic committee. We desire here to record our appreciation of the efficient performance of his duties by our state chairman, John M. Garman, and his fidelity to his party and its principles. Struck by a Locomotive.

A Prominent New York Broker’s Life At. tempted by a Jealous Female. New York, Sept. 1. —The life of George B. Moore of the real estate firm of Grif- fen & Moore was threatened by Julia McGrau in Moore’s office at 26 East Forty-second street today. In the scuf- fie that occurred a revolver that the wo- man flourished was exploded, and the bullet imbedded itself in the floor. The woman was arrested and taken to the Yorkville police court. Moore lives at 55 West Eighty—second street and is prominent in the real es- tate business. He has had trouble with the woman before, and, according to the story told by the police, she had de- clared that she would not permit Moore to carry out an engagement of marriage which he recently contracted. The wo— man is also known as Julia Campbell. She has lately made a number of visits to Moore’ s office, and the police say that she was so disorderly that Moore swore out a warrant for her arrest. After that she kept away until today. Moore had scarcely reached his office when he saw the woman approaching. He sent an office boy out for a police- man, and Patrolman Houghtaling re- sponded. The woman had entered the office when Houghtaling arrived. She had drawn the revolver and was strug- gling with Moore. with all her might. Moore said in court that he was alone when the Woman walked in and that she put down a box and said, “I have brought back the things you gave me during our acquaintance.” She then upbraided Moore for his treatment of her, he said. Policeman Houghtaling said that he started to separate the pair, when the “Email broke away and, stepping back a few feet, pulled a revolver and fired at Moore. Moore then made a complaint in the police court against the woman. He said that he thought she was insane. He said he had known her for a number of years and had been friendly with her in Cincinnati some years ago, but had refused to have anything to do with her for three years. “She has tried to shoot me and her- self three times,” Moore said. “She im— agines that I have done her some great personal injury, but that is not so.” When the woman was taken before Clerk Anthus, she said that she had tried to kill herself, as life had become useless to her as a consequence of her acquaintance with Moore. Magistrate Brann held the woman to await an examination into her sanity. The magistrate said that if the doctors at Bellevue found that the woman .was not insane he would cause her arraign— ment for assault with intent to kill. Tube \Vorks Start Up.

The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as a distinct improvement in bicycle tire construction. It has the following ad- vantages: While punctures in it can be re- paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in- jections, as well as in any other single-tube tire, it can be permanent!) repaired by using the quick-repair strip inside the tire. See cut No. 1. (/C% No. 1». By injecting M. & W. quick-repah cement through the puncture, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb. as in out No. 2, the repaia No. 2. strip inside' is picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in out No. 3. The Morgan o& Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is , guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every riderhas heard of tires that “leak like a sieve.” Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. Ask any bicycle dealer whether other tires last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. Morgan "'& Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the Morgan §z Wright free repair shops, located in ‘he principal cities. N. B.-—When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it,» may ’amage it considerably.\ She resisted arrest . Health is Happiness. 1 Health is at the bottom of happi- ness. The man or woman who is per- fectly well, enjoys life like a child.

If they knew of all this suffering, their hearts would go out in sympathy. ,Dv Ilavid Kennedy's E Favorite Remedy makes sick people happy by mak- : ing them well.
