WINDMILL JAKE S" HOUSE DEMOCRATIC MEETINU
Courtesy of Philadelphia Record.
One of the oldest houses In Pennsylvania was torn down at West Lafa-yette
the other day tomakeroom for Improvement. The home was familiarly
known as "Windmill Jake's." -It is said to have been built by Jake's an-cestors
in 1700. Jake was one of the first windmill manufacturers In Amer-ica.
He also made some very unique weather-vanes. Much of his handiwork
Is still In evidence in Montgomery County.
During the Revolution, "Windmill Jake" abandoned business and Joined
Washington's army. When America won her Independence, he again be-came
a windmill builder and prospered more than before. The death of
his wife In 1X10 broke the spirit of this Industrious mechanic and It Is said
that he died of a broken heart In 1812. One son who survived Mm, was

An American law Journnl has quoted
the charge to a Jury delivered by a cer-tain
Judge Donovan as the shortest on
id. The Judge said:
"Gentleman of the jury, if you Ue-ueve
(lie plaintiff, find a verdict for
plaintiff and fix the amount. If you
believe the defendant, find a verdict
for defendant. Follow the officer."
Bui an F.ngllsh periodical caps this
brief charge by quoting a shorter one
delivered by Commissioner Kerr. He
said to n Jury:
"That man says prisoner rohbod
him. The prisoner says he didn't. You
settle It."

these charges to Juries, the Hon. Mich-ael

THE CAMPAIGN CLOSED IN THIS
BOROUGH AT AMEETING
LAST NIGHT
The Democrats of Plymouth, Wei I
held a political mass eting at Hotel
Barrolt. last evening. This was tin
only open air meeting held in ibis vi-cinity
during me campaign.
About four Hundred i pp. usam
bled to hear the distinguished speakers
Michael Morle.y, Coiiiinitl, r of
the district, opened the meeting ami
introduced Prank Tracy as chairman.
Mr. Tracy in a neat tpeoeh accepted
the chair and Introduced as the lirst
speaker Candidate Cor Assembly,
Thos, v. Smith, of Noriistown, who
confined ins remarks to trusts ami the
school appropriations, lie was fol-lowed
by ex-County chairman B, 1".
Kane, who was received with an ova-tion.
Mr. Kane opened his speech with
the subject most vital of all inter-ests
at present existing lu the Demo-cratic
party In this and many other
districts of the County—the subject Ol
party harmony. He said that in a
great party organization, like tin
Democratic party it was Impossible Cor
all to be ln strict unison hut that the
conventions of a party established its
principles and after that convention all
good members should unite ln the
common cause of its success, lie al-so
said ho knew that every Democrat
on election day would cast aside the
factional strife that has ,.\isici| within
Its ranks and do all in their power to
eieet tin, ticket nominated in their
convention.
He also, urged his hearers to sup-port
the platform as adopted at Kans.i>
City anil expressed his sympathies and
the sympathies of the Democratic par-ty
for the Filipinos, whom be compar-ed
with the American Colonists of 17-
76 In their struggle for liberty, as he
also compared the Porto EUcana. Then
he came to the Sugar Trust, who be
claims elected McKlnley ill Is:n; and
is to-day the power behind the Ad
ministration, ami by its contributions
of millions of dollars to Republican
i ampaign funds, have forced Congress
to impose n duty of 15 per cent, on all
imports from Porto Kirn.
On expansion, he contends that the
Democratic party does not oppose il.
but opjta«es liiipernlistie expansion by
approving of expansion on our own
continent only and predicts that in 19
nil we will be seizing islands in South
Airlra and In 1901. will conquer Is-lands
In Australia when we will be
placed on the same basis as lei many
and will be compelled to maintain a
large army ln which every oitisen
who has attained the age of 20 years
is compelled to perform military ser-vice.
After making another strong plea
for a united Democratic vote. Mr.
Kane, amid great applause retired and
wns followed by Assemblyman Lane-bre
