'The Republican marjorlty of the Senate will be properly held responsible by the country for tin character of the tariff legislation to exacted ;it this session, and also for prompt action. The business of tiewhole country is uttering from the uncertainsty about what will be done. Two great bodies are divided by a definite line of thought on this subject, with a few exceptions on both sides of the chamber. The Hepublican party cannot evade the responsibility and there Is no disposition on the part of that body to avoid it.*• In a speeeh yesterday afternoon St' i ator Aldrich said In a somewhat dramatic manner: WASHINGTON, I>. April Senator Aldrich had another session with Senator Elklns hist night, making the third since the latter's remarkable speech of Monday. If there had been ay doubt as to where the West Virginia Senator stood, it was clearly removed by th*' facts of yesterday afternoon A DINNER PARTY FOR YOUNGSTERS Margaret K.

The Post: "Miss Florence Fisher has the role of Madeline. The girlish unrest, the quick repentance, the .sudden discovery of an unexpected depth of love for the family she had been so ready to abandon, were excellently portrayed by Miss Florence Fisher." The Independent: "Mlsh Florence Fisher, as the erring daughter, not only enriches the present, but promises much for the future, in her youth, talent and lively intelligence. Her emotionalism, of a high degree, is restrained by taste and artistic intuition. so that her work is distinguished by the selection of that happy medium between ov6r-acting and under-acting."The Kansas City newspaper critics are unanimous in proclaiming that "The Family," the new Henry Miller play, In which Miss Florence Fished of this place, has one of the principal parts, -and which had its initial production there last week, is O. K. Of* Miss Fisher's work, the Journal critic says: "Miss Florence Fisher, who is remembered for her excellent work with Nazimova earlier in the season was consistent as an erring daughter." imittee that has charge of subscriptions has been maent progress the past few >thls morning report $29,-v 135,000 needed to land the i ing into account the fact : jbscriptioris are coming in lounts the situation is most | fceptance of the proposition to ifllk mill In Punxsutawney is nuch importance to "string" (Therefore, take it as no joke i are told that there are ir towns in this section that le to see Punxsutawney "fall In the proposition, not bejy'wlsh the town ill, but bepy would like to take a fall themselves. FAREWELL PARTY FOR ED. CHAMBERS >< move It was most deeply interested in 'he fort. As the Hamburg's stay in Gibraltar is limited to two hours, the reception commluee immediately took the party on an automobile sight-seeing tour which included the Governor's resident . the Admiralty building. the Xaval Hospital, and the barracks. Tin- crowd awaiting Roosevelt's ;ip pearance evidently surprised him. for he waved his black slouch hat like a school boy. At Roosevelt's n quest the reception was robbed of its official character, which aided, rather than retarded, the heaviness of the greeting. General Sir Frederick Forestier Walker, Governor of Gibraltar, Richard I. Spraguc, the American Consul, took Roosevt It and his s>% Kermit in charge the moment the Hamburg's gangplanks were lowered. There were thousands at the pier and the cheering began before ltooscvelt's robus: figure appeared on the deck. By United Press. GIBRALTAR, April — Theodore Roosevelt landed in Gibraltar at te.i o'clock this morning and. for nearly two hours, was the center of an enthusiastic demonstration i:i which England took advantage of her first opportunity to pay her respects to the distinguished traveler.

This course, he said was abso* lutely necessary in a country with a government like ours. lie «aid it was followed in every country with a party government. Crazy Snake's wife and daughter came to Col. Huffman - quarters yesterday and were given passes that permitted them to go where they wish. All otlu r Indian- . aptured have been given similar passes and released. Col. Hoffman reduced his forces in the field yesterday from 170 men and oflh « r> t«» 100, fe eling that the smaller number is sufficient for every purpose.

The Spirit generally records about 100. family tllttings on April 2, but this year there are not more than onethird that number. If the old saw, "It's easier to move than to pay rent," holds good, then most people are paying their rent. West End householders are the least given to moving, and, but for a change In the ownership of one property, there would have been but one flitting in that part of town. Following is a roster of the comings and goings on April 1. l!>08, including a few before and afters: Daniel Peffer, from Oil City Into the John Ernest house. East Mahoning Street. Business locations in the main part of Punxsutawney are about as difficult to secure as office room in Wall Street, hence, when anybody moves there is a scramble to get in. While Freas' Cyclery »<* Supply House is moving out of the Hess Raffetto building, M. H. Hess, one of the proprietors, is moving his butcher shop in. That Punxsutawney householders and business men and firms are pretty well "sot" In their ways, that is, that they are not given to moving on All Fools' Day is evident from the figures compiled yesterday by The Spirit. Only two business firms shifted yesterday, both, however, into their own buildings. OPENING OFFICES IN SMOKY CITY Special to The Spirit NKW YORK. April _ 'I'M. Mara Laurel Lodge IT,> »; 7l*.

God, I don't know anything about this.' Tile people were kh wrought up that lie was not believed and had no chance or. trial." "While he was at my house, Mary, in a tit of insanity, killed Mrs. Brennan. She did it in broad daylight and cleared up everything, putting the body In the trunk. Jim came homo at 2 o'clock and did not notice anything. Mary never said a word. The trunk was Mary's and Jim paid no attention to it. "Jim will be saved. There will be no court of appeals. With Mary's confession and other new evidence we will keep in the Supfeme Court and he will get a new trial and acquittal." "What is Mary's true version of the crime'.'" was asked. '•■Well, she simply said that she did it. Jim did not know it until the Sheriff came. He never knew what she had in that trunk, on that Thursday morning I had Jim at My House, about half a mile away. He came over to work for me at 8 o'clock and stayed until 2 o'clock. "Jim has been heroic. His loyalty to that woman, in my opinion, is Just marvelous. The story that there was no affection between them is not true. Jim loved her so much that for her he went even to the place where he is today. Her tirst words were: 'Jim, I came to ask your forgiveness. Please ask your relatives to forgive me, too, for I have wronged them." , " *1 forgive you. Mary,' said my brother, and he asked me this afternoon to give Mary's wish to the others. For myself, I agree with Jim that Mary was not in her right mind. She was never accountable, and I think Gov. Hughes made a mistake in not having her examined. Her death was unjust and the State should never have allowed it. AUBURN, N. Y., April 2.—Mrs. Michael Doran, sister of Jim Farmer, whose life may be saved by his wife's confession on the. threshold of the detoth chamber. has VMtcd the man in the condemned row. and on coming out said: Confession ol' Wll'e on Threshold of Death Will Likely Clear llim.

'The Republican marjorlty of the Senate will be properly held responsible by the country for tin character of the tariff legislation to exacted ;it this session, and also for prompt action. The business of tiewhole country is uttering from the uncertainsty about what will be done. Two great bodies are divided by a definite line of thought on this subject, with a few exceptions on both sides of the chamber. The Hepublican party cannot evade the responsibility and there Is no disposition on the part of that body to avoid it.*• In a speeeh yesterday afternoon St' i ator Aldrich said In a somewhat dramatic manner: WASHINGTON, I>. April Senator Aldrich had another session with Senator Elklns hist night, making the third since the latter's remarkable speech of Monday.

The Post: "Miss Florence Fisher has the role of Madeline. The girlish unrest, the quick repentance, the .sudden discovery of an unexpected depth of love for the family she had been so ready to abandon, were excellently portrayed by Miss Florence Fisher." The Independent: "Mlsh Florence Fisher, as the erring daughter, not only enriches the present, but promises much for the future, in her youth, talent and lively intelligence. Her emotionalism, of a high degree, is restrained by taste and artistic intuition. so that her work is distinguished by the selection of that happy medium between ov6r-acting and under-acting."The Kansas City newspaper critics are unanimous in proclaiming that "The Family," the new Henry Miller play, In which Miss Florence Fished of this place, has one of the principal parts, -and which had its initial production there last week, is O. K. Of* Miss Fisher's work, the Journal critic says: "Miss Florence Fisher, who is remembered for her excellent work with Nazimova earlier in the season was consistent as an erring daughter." imittee that has charge of subscriptions has been maent progress the past few >thls morning report $29,-v 135,000 needed to land the i ing into account the fact : jbscriptioris are coming in lounts the situation is most | fceptance of the proposition to ifllk mill In Punxsutawney is nuch importance to "string" (Therefore, take it as no joke i are told that there are ir towns in this section that le to see Punxsutawney "fall In the proposition, not bejy'wlsh the town ill, but bepy would like to take a fall themselves. FAREWELL PARTY FOR ED. CHAMBERS >< move It was most deeply interested in 'he fort. As the Hamburg's stay in Gibraltar is limited to two hours, the reception commluee immediately took the party on an automobile sight-seeing tour which included the Governor's resident . the Admiralty building. the Xaval Hospital, and the barracks. Tin- crowd awaiting Roosevelt's ;ip pearance evidently surprised him. for he waved his black slouch hat like a school boy. At Roosevelt's n quest the reception was robbed of its official character, which aided, rather than retarded, the heaviness of the greeting. General Sir Frederick Forestier Walker, Governor of Gibraltar, Richard I. Spraguc, the American Consul, took Roosevt It and his s>% Kermit in charge the moment the Hamburg's gangplanks were lowered. There were thousands at the pier and the cheering began before ltooscvelt's robus: figure appeared on the deck. By United Press. GIBRALTAR, April — Theodore Roosevelt landed in Gibraltar at te.i o'clock this morning and. for nearly two hours, was the center of an enthusiastic demonstration i:i which England took advantage of her first opportunity to pay her respects to the distinguished traveler.

This course, he said was abso* lutely necessary in a country with a government like ours. lie «aid it was followed in every country with a party government. Crazy Snake's wife and daughter came to Col. Huffman - quarters yesterday and were given passes that permitted them to go where they wish. All otlu r Indian- . aptured have been given similar passes and released. Col.

The Spirit generally records about 100. family tllttings on April 2, but this year there are not more than onethird that number. If the old saw, "It's easier to move than to pay rent," holds good, then most people are paying their rent. West End householders are the least given to moving, and, but for a change In the ownership of one property, there would have been but one flitting in that part of town. Following is a roster of the comings and goings on April 1. l!>08, including a few before and afters: Daniel Peffer, from Oil City Into the John Ernest house. East Mahoning Street. Business locations in the main part of Punxsutawney are about as difficult to secure as office room in Wall Street, hence, when anybody moves there is a scramble to get in. While Freas' Cyclery »<* Supply House is moving out of the Hess Raffetto building, M. H. Hess, one of the proprietors, is moving his butcher shop in. That Punxsutawney householders and business men and firms are pretty well "sot" In their ways, that is, that they are not given to moving on All Fools' Day is evident from the figures compiled yesterday by The Spirit. Only two business firms shifted yesterday, both, however, into their own buildings. OPENING OFFICES IN SMOKY CITY Special to The Spirit NKW YORK. April _ 'I'M. Mara Laurel Lodge IT,> »; 7l*.
