Prncrful Und in the Idfe of PruilIvnnia'n War (iovrrnor. IiELLKFONTE. Pa., Oct. T.-L'x-G j ernir Andrew G. Curtin died at 5 o'clock this morning. His end was peaceful, he having been unonscbu3 during, th? last twelve hours of his life. All the members ef his family were at the bedside when he passed away. Mr. Curtin had been in feeble health for some weeks, but his condition grew serious on Thursday last, and frim that time h sank rapidly. Doath was caused by old age, the ex-governor being in his eightieth year, combined with laervou.J tnuble which, upon reaching th; vital point In the brain, ended hi3 life. "When the ca.3e first took on a serious aspect physicians wers summoned, but they then abandoned all hopes of recovery, and the death of the old war governor was not a surprise. Andrew Gregg Curtin was born In P.ellefonte. Center county, April 22. 1S13. Hi3 father. Roland Curtin, emigrated from Irelind in 1733 and in 1507 established near Belljfonte one of th firt manufactures of Iron in that region. Andrew studied liw in the Dickinson college Uw school, was admitted to the bar in 183 and soon became prominent. He early entered politics as a whig, laboring for Harrison's election In 1840 and making a successful canvass of the state for Clay in IS 44. He wis a presidential elector in 1S4S and a candldatp for elector on the whig ticket In 1852. In 1854 Governor Pollock appointed him secretary of the commonwealth and ex-officio superintendent of common school, and in the discharge of his duties Mr. Curtin did much toward reforming and perfecting the school system of th state. In hia annual report

I of 1S53 he recommended to the legislature the p-?tibli?hment of normal schxds, anil his sugeejtion. wis adopted. i In lstio Mr. Curtin was the republican ; canditiate for governor. The democrats. though divided In national politics, were

united In Pennsylvania, but Mr. Curtm was elected by a majority of 32,000. He advocated the forcible suppression of peeedon and was cne of the war governors who were most earnest In the support of the nationa: g-overnment. He responded promptly to the first call for troops and when Oen. Patterson, who was in command In Pennsylvania, a?ked for 2-j.oOi) mora tnwps they were Immediately fu ml. shed. Gen. Patterson's requLitlon was afterward revoke! by the secretary of war on the pround that the troops were not needed, but Jovernor Curtin. instead of disbaodin-r them, obtained authority from the le!iiLitur.' to equip them at the state's expense aji d hold ilvm subject to t.ie call of the national government. ThLs body of men beam known as the "E'enn."ylvanla Iteservtis." anl was accepted by the authorities at Washington a few weeks later. Governor CurtLi was yntlrinsy In his effrirt-s for the comfort of the fcoldiers. a-wtri.' sr carefully the numerous letters sent him from the field, and originated the system of care, and Instruction for children of th oe slain In battle, mäkln? them wards of t,ht, state.

VHITNEY IS LOYAL

Writes a Letter to htate Chairman lllnck. ley. NEW YORK, Oct. 8. The state democratic committee Is tonight sending out a letter written by ex-Secretary V. C. Whitney, dated at Roslyn, L.. I. The letter is addressed to Mr. Hinckley, the state chairman. Mr. WhP.ney explains why he did not accept either the chairmanship or a membership on the state committee, stating that it was not from an indisposition to as.Mst in the campaign, but from reasons purely private. He reminds Mr. Hinckley that he two years acto refused a yimilar position on the national committee for precisely the same reasons. He added that he de.lred to remain !n th ranks. Mr. Whitney said that if he ever felt inclined to break away from any rulo which he had made for himself it was during the present campaign. He thought that never before in the tiistory of the party had there been a time when leniocrats should sink party differences and .tand togeth r for the common good as like the present occasion. Mr. Whitney said that he might criticise in detail the manner in whloh th? party had, during tne patt year, performed the trusts given to its keeping, tut the present was not the time for discussion cf differences. It was ai time, he thought, for an attack upon the common enemy. New York state he believed to L3 the pivotal state, and defeat here would mean discourage.r.er.t for democrats and encouragement for republicans throughout the entire country. Mr. Whitney said that he would not attempt to di-guise the fact that there is a gixat deal of disaffection in the party ranks. He said that many considered the stat2 organization management narrow and arbitrary. He did not propose to quarrel with anyone for manifesting this feeling, but wished to iemind ail that tai policy of the republican leaders had been even more dictatorial. II id they .-howti a disposition to meet the ind pendent voters of the state and city of Ncv York half way they cou.d, in all fairness, appeal to the people on a non-partisan b i.-ds. Instead of doing this they have insisted tint the T.imniiny hall iiiiciiine shall be öu ' M-ded by even a republican machine.

DKNVER. Oct. 4. In his October Pastoral Bishop Matz says the church in Colora.In is parsing through an appalling crisis. "It is." he says, "sectarian bigotry, which, led. cai by a set .of fanatics, bids, fair to outdoo the followers, of Cromwell and the maniacs of the French commune. It is a fact which has called forth the amazement cf the most, remarkable man of our time, that an a?e like ours, and a e-tuntry over which floats the American, Hag should have fostered this A. F. A. monster, which, vvhiid it carries the constitution of the United States in one hand and the bible in the othr. would strangle with its deadly fangs the church whose children fou?h5 so bravely unJer the stars ami stripa against tyranny and oppression. Hut tha fact nevertheless remains, and is indeed, more stransj t,han notion." The bishop urge catholics to voto only for men who are above prejudice, party passions and sectarian bias.

The reason for the strange rctions of Jess, the circus elephant, which went on a rampage early yesterday morning, and, after breaking her fastenings and nearly wrecking the circus, roimed through the streets of Pan Francisco, has been discovered. Jess has always been perfectly docile, and could be handled by any of the circus people. While she was being pursued through the streets this morning by her keepers, they noticed that the animil acted as If frenzied by fright. Finally, when she allowed them to come near one of the keepers noticed something protruding from the end of her trunk. He pulled it out and found that it was a live rat. The elephant had been lying on the j grouid asleep with her trunk stretched r in fror.t of her, and it is supposed that the rat ran up her trunk. When the rat had been removed. Jes3 gave a snort of great satisfaction, and made no further resistance to being led back to the circus tent.

OVATION TO WILSON,

Distinguished Tariff Reformer Returns Home. CHARLESTON", W. Va., Oct. 8. The Hon. W. L. Wilson's home-coming today was made the occasion of a demonstration by his democratic fellow-citizens of the Second congressional district which rather taxed th? capacity of this historic old town, the county seat of Jefferson county. Not only did the democratic voters from the rural districts and towns anl villages of the eastern pan-handle respond to th? call of the local committee arrangements, but the more remote counties of the congressional district were fully represented and not a few old Virginians and citizens of Maryland, and ev;-n of Pennsylvania journeyed by rail to this out-of-the-way nook to assist in the vi lcome to the preat exponent of the democratic policy and to listen to the address he was to make. The arrangements for the events of the day were set on foot, about the time Mr. Wilson sailed on his return voyage, and he therefore had no idea of what was going on until his arrival at New York Saturday. He was there apprised of the arrangements, and as a result delayed his arrival at his home until today In order to meet th? plans of the local committee. Mr. Wilson's party arrived at Harper's Ferry on the main line of the Halt imore & Ohio road on board the Chicigo Expro.-s. at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Ac-'.ompanying Mr. Wilson were tho Hon. John L. Ma. Griw, chairman of the demoeraiiej congressional committee of the uiiliiet; the II n. Robert Henter of Yirtriöii; the Hon. D. T. Hart .on of Manchester. Va.. ar.d the Hon. Fred J.

"While I was in London about two weeks ago I was honored, very unexpectedly to myself, with an invitation by the chamber of commerce to be their guest at a public dinner. I was surprised. I was almost sorry in one sense to receive such an invitation, because I was seeking rest, and I know then as well as I know today that what I woulJ say on that occasion would be perverted and falsified before the American people, and yet 1 did not think I need be afraid to talk to the people of London as I talk?d to the people of West Virginia. So I talked to them just what I say to you tuUay that in the past we had been holding up our tariff to keep them out of the American markets, and now we are tearing down the 'tariff to enable us to meet them in all ether markets cf the vorlJ; and I said to them that not only In tha great products of agriculture, not only in our wheat, corn, cotton, beef and meat products, but In the products of our manufactures th?y might henceforth find us competing with all in all the markets that they sought. Thirty years ago wa beg-an to shut ourselves in from all the markets of the world; thirty year3 ago we called tli? American merchant in from off the seaj and surrendered the oceans to England and other nations to traverse them with their ships. "When last Friday morning in a fierce gale, when I was off the banks of New Foundland on one of these great ocean ships which seemed almost to be able to d?fy the fury of the storm and yet was tossed about like a cork upon the water's, I spit'd off in a los a few fishing schooners and I felt that the men who could venture out in tuch weather in their little fishing boats were the men who could yet restore the American merchant marine upon the seas and carry our flag in safety through to all the ports of the world." Mr. Wilson continued hU tariff argument for fully an hour and wis suee?eded by Mr. Myers of Pennsylvania and the Hon. J. T. McGraw. It was 5 o'clock when the meeting adjourned to reassemble at 7:30, and speaking wa-3 continued until 10:C(V. at eight.

the March of Prepress. Among the wonders of the World's Co!u:v.b:a:i ths grandest was the exhibit of American products. The Exhibition was, ia this respect, an object lesson of the graiadeur and glory of the Republic. Among the exhibits from the United States no article of its class stood so high as Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. The Chief Chemist of the Agricultural Department at Washington, backed by an intelligent jury at the Exposition, found it strongest in leavening power, peerless ia its purity and beyond comparison in uniform excellence. Received Highest Award At the World's Fair. The award is a matter of ofneial record. Nothing could settle so decisively the immeasurable superiority of Dr. Price's over all other powders as the great honor bestowed at Chicago.
