THE GREAT WAR GOVERNOR.
'Andrew Gregg Curtin, one of the last
and certainly one of the greatest of the
famous "war governors," died at his
home in Bellefonte, Pa., Sunday morn
ing, October 7th. He was born in Belle-
fonte, Fa., April 22, 1815. His father
came from Ireland in 1793 and estab
lished one Of the first iron manufactories
in the state near Bellefonte in 1807
The son studied law and was admitted to
practice in 1839, soon becoming prom
inent. He entered politics as a whig
laboring for Harrison's election in 1840,
and successfully canvassing the state for
Clay in 1844. In 1860 he was the re
. publican candidate for governor and
carried the state by a majority' of 32,000,
In his inaugural address he advocated
the forcible tuppression of secession.
He foresaw the magnitude of the war,
and when the first call for troops was
made, supplied 23,000 more than was
called for. Although this action was re
pndiated by the secretary of war the
governor obtained authority from the
legislature to equip them at the state's
expense, and they became known as the
"Pennsylvania Reserve," and it is need
less to add were accepted by the govern
ment a few weeks later. In the early
days of the war when even the immortal
Lincoln hesitated about calling for more
troops,Governor Curtin called a council
of the governors and boldly pledged
Pennsylvania to lurnish her quota of
troops however large it might be.. This
action was followed by Governor Tod of
Ohio, and Morton of Indiana, bo holding
up the hands of the president during the
very darkest hour of the rebellion. His
devotion to the cause, his tireleesnesa in
looking after and providing for. the chil
dren and widows of soldiers slain in
battle gained for him the title of "the
soldier's friend." He supported Horace
Greely for the presidency, and subse
quently joined the democratic party and
was by them elected three successive
terms to congress, serving from 1881 to
1887. In his death the country loses a
true patriot, and one of the few really
great figures of those great days.
TLAIN FACTS.
What we said yesterday concerning
the fire and the waterworks made one or
more persons feel sore. We regret that
it did ; but we regret more that the cir
cumstances compelled us to say just
what we did. The very existence of the
city depends on the water supply and
the fire department. Loose or careless
methods in either cannot be tolerated,
and snrely a newspaper that is so tender
of some one's feelings as to remain silent
under the circumstances is derelict in
its duty to the public. The article was
not written to find fault with what has
been done, but to protest against a fur
ther continuance of any system, either
in the management of the water supply
or the fire department, that does not
give us the very best service in both.
The members of .the fire department
all are excellent men, but there is room
for improvement in the department. . A
hook and ladder company is needed, and
when that is provided the boys should
get in and drill. The pressure, and the
full pressure, should be kept on the
mains, especially at this season of the
year. ,
The first five minutes at a fire gener
ally decide whether it is to be a trifle or
a calamity. Let the past go, for we
cannot change it, but the future
we may make for ourselves. Let
as see that we make it as we would have
it. '
We will add, however, that Mr. Nor
man states positively that the full force
of the water from the upper reservoir
was on the mains at the time the fire
broke out. The statement is corrobo
rated by others. We have no reason for
doubting Mr. Norman's word, or that
of others who are in position to know.
This relieves him from any blame in the
matter. Mr. Worsley is positive the
ping was open, but there might have
been something out of fix with it. How
ever the evidence backs np Mr. Nor
man's statement, and as the matter is
past, the less said about it the better.
IT WAS HOOD RIVER FRUIT.
Brother Gourlay, of the Klickitat Re
publican, in speaking of the Hood River
fruit exhibit last fall, says the "largest
and finest apples of that exhibit were
raised in Klickitat county." The larg
est apple of that exhibit was raised in
Klickitat county, . but not the finest.
White Salmon raises apples the same as
Hood . River, but outside of one or two
mall selections, White Salmon took no
part in the exhibit. The finest apples
in that exhibit, where all were fine,
were raised in the foothills, ten to fifteen
miles south of ;the town of Hood River,
and were grown by A. Disbrow and
Dave Cooper. White Salmon could
make an astonishing apple exhibit, but
on the occasion spoken of did not do eo.
As a matter of fact, the White Salmon
country and that of Hood River are
practically the same in soil and climate,
and consequently in productions. The
same may. be said of a portion of Skama
nia county, the Underwood brothers
owning a ranch near the mouth of the
White Salmon that cannot be beaten in
either Oregon or Washington.
HILL ACCEPTS.
Senator David Bennett Hill has been
formally notified of his nomination for
governor of New York and has accepted.
He says he did not want the nomination,
and we believe him. It is no ripe plum
his democratic brethren offered him.
They told him frankly they wanted him
"to lead them in their hour of danger."
Hill was equally frank and gave the
committee to understand that he had
little hopes of winning, and said; "If
we win this contest it will be the party's
victory not mine ; if we lose, it will be
the party's fall which will be involved
with my, own." If there is a man in
the country who can read the political
situation, that man ia Hill, and that he
sees and interprets the writing on the
wall is self evident. He goes into the
fight half-heartedly, but nevertheless
will make a royal battle when once bis
blood is np.
The campaign in New York will be
the most exciting ever fought in this
country. '
The district fair opens today, and we
hope when it closes to note the fact that
it was the best and most liberally pat
ronized meeting the society has held.
Some of our merchants are preparing
exhibits, and others should follow their
example. The fairs heretofore have not
been as succee'ssful as they should have
been, consequently the interest now is
not eo great as it should be. To remedy
this a start must be made some time,
and that time is at hand. Make a good
showing this year, and next year you
will see the results In the interest taken
by other exhibitors and the larger at
tendance. Build the matter up; and
commence now.

WALKING BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
Some Curiosities of Tattooing in the
Islands of the Pacific Ocean.
It is quite common in Fiji and Samoa
for a man. to bear upon his arm or
body a certificate of his birth which is
practically indelible, said a globe
trotter to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat
man. Tattooing is carried on in these
islands to an absnrd extent, and it is
the practice to tattoo on the hand of a
mother the date . of her children's
births. Sometimes also an enthusiastic
father will tattoo the date of the birth
on the child itself, and no matter how
long it lives the certificate will remain
easily decipherable. . k
In some adjoining islands every child,
is tattooed almost from head to foot on '
completing its twelfth year. The re
sult is very remarkable, especially if
the child is growing rapidly, so that
the spaces between the tattoo marks
Increase in size year .by-, year. I re
member one man who joined our crew
when we were shorthanded who had
every available space on his anatomy
tattooed year after year, until he ap
peared to be nothing but a walking1
collection of grotesque signs and sym
bols. In Japan tattooing- is . now pro
hibited by law, but it is still practiced
by superstitious subjects of the mika
do very freely. . .

'Among the

in regard to cer-

none impress me
-more than my

Twenty years
ago, at the age
of 18 years, I had
swellings coma
on my legs,
which broke and
became run
niag sores.
Our family phy
sician conld do
me no good, and it was feared that the
bones would be affected. At last, my
good old
Mother Urged rle
to try Ayers Sarsaparilla. I took three
bottles, the sores healed, and I have not
been troubled since. Only the scars
remain, and the memory of the
past, to remind me of the good
Ayer's Sarsaparilla has done me,
1 now weigh two hundred and twenty
pounds, and am in the best of health.
I have been on the road, for the past
twelve years, have noticed Ayer's Sar
