Terms oF Susscriprion.—Until further notice this paper will be furnished to subscribers at the following rates : Paid strictly in advance.......c.ccuuu.....n Paid before expiration of year. Paid after expiration of year..... Pension Sharks Dissatisfied. The pension sharks and claim agents are growing impatient because the President doesn’t turn Commissioner H. CLAY EVANS out of the pension office. During the cam- paign, we are led to infer by some of the statements made by these treasury looters, the promise was made that EVANS would be turned out. Now that the election is over and the fruits of the contest safely garnered, the President is afraid to fulfill his promise. He has heen trying for months to find some place which EVANS would like better, in the hope that the offer of it would entice him into resigning. But he has been unable to find such a place. The complaint against EVANS is that he won't throw the doors of the pension office open wide enough toadmit every hounty jumper, camp follower, deserter and strag- gler whose name ever got on the roll of the army. Colonel EVANS, who was a gallant soldier himself and while willing to be generous with all the real goldiers who are suffering on accouut of service, doesn’t believe in desecrating the roll of honor by putting on it the names of men who never earned the right to be there, and that doesn’t suit the Sunday soldiers and politic- al military men whose stock in trade is the promise of pensions to stragglers in re- turn for party service. According to the Pittsburg Post one of the prime workers in the movement against Pension Commissioner EVANS is THOMAS G. SAMPLE, Superintendent of Public Printing and Binding at Harrisburg. Now it is barely possible that SAMPLE wasa soldier, but if he was he has been paid a thousand fold for any service he may have rendered. Ever since the close of the Civil war he has been pulling at the public teat except when it was more profitable to or- ganize ‘‘rat”’ labor to defeat strikers. At present he is probably enjoying the fattest snap in the State, for he gets a good salary for doing nothing but work politics for the machine. Democrats to Meet in Erie. Rilling and Guffey Want State Convention There. Delegates can Nominate Candidates and Then Take a Lake Trip to Buffalo—Hardenberg Not Ready to Quit the Senate. HARRISBURG, May 6.—There; is now every indication that the Democratic State convention to nominate candidates for * State Treasurer and a successor to Justice Potter on the Supreme bench will be held in Erie. The Democratic State committee is to meet here immediately after final ad- journment of the Legislature to fix time and place for the convention. Ex-Chairman John 8. Rilling and J. M. Guffey are in favor of Erie. Reports from many other Democratic leaders indicate the lake city as the next convention place. It isprobable the convention will be he 1d the- last week of July or the first week in Au gust. Erie can be made to serve the doub le purpose of political business and visit- ing the Pan-American exposition. Excur- sion rates will be given those attending the convention in Erie and excursions will be run by lake from there to Buffalo. A large summer pavilion has been tendered the committee in which to hold the con- vention. Contrary to general expection Senator E. B. Hardenberg, of the Susqnehanna-Wayne district, did not ‘resign his seat in the Senate to-night in order to allow him to assume the officer of Auditor Gener- al to-morrow to which he was elected last November. Auditor General McCauley’s term ex- pires to-morrow, but Mr. Hardenberg de- sires to retain his seat in the Senate for party reasons until the adjournment of the Legislature. He has asked the attorney general for an opinion as to whether the present deputy Auditor General can act as Auditor General until be is ready to as- sume the office himself, The Ballot Reform Conference. HARRISBURG, Pa., May 6.—The ballot reform conference between Col. Guffey and Senator Quay, came to a “close after mid- night without reaching a definite agree- ment. Both parties agreed that the party circle should. be dropped and that the party columns should remain as they are on the present ballot. The’ Democrats insisted that no person shall be entitled to assist more than ten voters to prepare their bal- lot and that before a voter can secure: sistance he must make affidavit that he can- not read and write or that he is physically unable to prepare his ballot.” The Repub- licans objected to the feature requiring the voter to make affidavit as to his disability and promised to take the matter under con- sideration and report later. The original Demoeratic proposition was that no person could assist more than three voters. : Qualified ns Auditor General, HARRISBURG, Pa., May 7.—Senator Ed- mund D. Hardenbergh, of Wayne, resign- ed his seat today in the Senate and qualifi- ed as Auditor General, to which: office he was elected last November. He succeeds Levi G. McCauley, of West Chester, whose. term expired at noon. Mr. Hardenbergh was anxious to retain his seat until the close of the legislative session and was giv- en a written opinion by Attorney Gefen Elkin that it was optional with him wien he entered upon the duties of Auditor General. To avoid possible complications, however, the Senator handed his resigna- tion to President pro tem Snyder and filed his bond and assumed charge of the depart- ment. EE —————— Charles Foster a Bankrupt. Former Secretary's Liabilities $741,000 No Assets. ToLEDO, May 8.—Charles Foster, of Fos- toria, former Secretary of the Treasury, has made application in the United States Court here asa voluntary bankrupt. His debts are set down at $747,008.34 and there are no assets. Relief Trains Arrive. The Hunger of Jacksonville's Homeless People Has Been Satisfied. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 5.—The hun- ger of 10,000 people made homeless by the great fire that destroyed $11,000,000 worth of property in this place was satisfied to- day when the arrival of relief trains ard boats bringing provisions from neighboring towns. Early this morning a commissary was established in the centre of the city and thousands were fed. To-day an order was promulgated under martial law requiring all merchants whose stores were spared by the conflagration to open their doors and sell to all who asked. The streets have been crowded all day with shoppers who lost all in the fire and many stores will remain open all night. It is estimated that 3,000 persons have left the city and every outgoing train is crowded with refugees. Five: carloads of tents were received to-day the property of the State, which are to be used by the homeless temporarily. Another shipment of tents is expected from the government to arrive to-morrow. To-morrow morning the Zimes Union and Citizen will estimate the total prop- erty loss at $11,000,000. These figures are based upon an itemized statement fur- nished by a volunteer committee of citi- zens. Rumors of loss of life are heard on every hand to-night and the river has been closely watched to-day. Many persons have confirmed the report of loss of life at the Market street wharf. Numerous ad- advertisements appeared in the newspapers asking for aid in searching for persons who are missing. As many have left the city for the gulf it is impossible to ascertain who have been lost in the Market street pier tragedy. A committee of Atlantans was here to- day to deliver $1,000 worth of provisions, promising another car during the week. Atlanta also furnished by express 1,000 feet of hose. Martial law is being readily enforced and the town is quiet to-night, although much anxiety prevails because of the threats said to have been made by the negroes that they would obtain provis- ions by force at their first opportunity. In the eastern portion of the city the de- bris is still burning, but no further out- break of the flames is anticipated. To-morrow morning the citizens’ com- mittee will meet to further organize the re- lief work. At a meeting of the relief com- mittee to-day a resolution was adopted offering work to every unemployed person in the city, to be paid for at the rate of $1 per day and rations. The men will be put to work clearing away the debris in the ruined district. It is believed this plan will prove a happy solution of the race situation and will prevent any antici- pated trouble. Grand Master James Campbell, of the Masonic grand lodge of Florida, to-night issued an appeal to the Masonic fraternity of the United States. He asks all Masons to send contributions to W. P. Webster, grand secretary, Jacksonville, Fla. Revised Bills are Handed to China. Indemnity to Powers Likely to be Met by Increased Customs Duties. At Odds Over “Open Door.” PEKIN, May 8.—The foreign Ministers to-day decided to address a collective note to the Chinese Government informing it that a joint indemnity of 450,000,000 taels (about $337,000,000) would be demanded, and asking what method of payment is pro- posed. A reply is expected at the end of the week, which will probably propose to meet the indemnity by raising the custom tariff. It is considered likely that the powers will assent to some such measure in return for concessions on the part of China in the shape of a total abolition of the likin, the placing of import duties on a gold basis, really free navigation of Chinese waters and removal of impediments to navigation aud the tax of Woosung. The Ministers were unable to agree as to the desirability of opening the whole Empire to trade and residence, some of them holding that it would be asking Chi- na to assume too great responsibility, and thas-under the present system of govern- ment it would be impossible to guarantee the safety of the numerous foreigners who would flock into the interior if the Empire were entirely opened. ‘The stand taken by England and the United States was a decided objection to any increase in Chinese customs so far, at least, as the maritime provinces were con- cerned. There is no indication that either country receded from this stand, ‘although the majority of the powers were opposed to it. Mock Hanging Ends Fatally. Two Men Killed By Fastenings Giving Way. DAVENPORT, Ia., May 6.—Emil Mohr and Charles Reis were killed to-day while pretending to hang August Blunck on a pulley rope outside: the Independent Malt- ing Company’s building. Mohr and Reis with Gus Siems were teasing Blunck and wound up by winding the rope about his waist with the avowed intention of hang- ing him. ; The strain on the rope caused the fasten- ings, 60 feet above, to give way. An iron pulley struck Reis on the head, crushing it. A falling scantling brained Mohr. Blunck was slightly injured. .. Democrats Want Eight for Sure. HARRISBURG, May 7.—A joint caucus of 1Democratic Senators and Mem ers was held to-night, at which a committee was ap- pointed to go before the Senate and House congressional apportionment committee and demand. that a bill be drafted which gives the Democrats eight sure districts. The committee is eomposed of Senators Wentz, of Montgomery; Heinle, of Centre, and Cochrane, of Lycoming; Representa- tives Ikeler, of Columbia; Meyers, of Cum- berland, and Wilson, of Crawford. ~~ Soldier's Monument Fund.

PEKIN, May 5.—The United States cav- alry and artillery left Pekin this morning to march to Ton Ku. Imposing farewell ceremonies attended their departure. Sir Alfred Gaselee and other British generals, with their staffs, were present, and the British commands- sent a detachment of Baluchis, who escorted the Americans out- side the city gates. General Chaffee publicly thanked the cavalry and artillery for their services in the international relief expedition and for their behavior since, which has been, he said, a credit to themselves and their na- tion. The infantry headquarters’ staff will leave by rail as soon as the transports ar- rive at Taku. With Three Voices. Does the Pan-American Speak to the Visitor. Its Buildings Present a Valuable Lesson in Architec- ture ; Its Exhibits are a Materialized Encyclope- dia—Educational Amusement. The true function of an exposition is education. The purpose and the end of all its ministrations should be the development and the ripening of each soul which comes within the scope of its influence. Young or old, man or 7 RR TR pe es sts A EE DR. SELIM H. PEABODY, [Superintendent of Liberal Arts, Pan-American Exposition.] woman, gentle or simple, each visitor should gain and should be conscious of gaining an enlarged appreciation, sub- jectively of himself as a living and sentient being and objectively of the world as his sphere-of living and know- ing, a realm fuller of sweetness and light. His respirations should be quick- er, his inspirations deeper and his as- pirations loftier and nobler. To this end the Exposition speaks to its visitors with three voices—through its architecture, its exhibits, its amuse- ments. The Pan-American Exposition will address its expected ‘throngs in all these voices. In ‘its architecture must be included the whole external equipment — its buildings in their artistic and symmet- rical arrangement and grouping, the beauty of their style, the exuberance of their decorations, breathing afresh the genius of the Spaniard ‘and the Moor in graceful forms and gorgeous colorings; the landscape effects, blending the har- monies of forest and lake, of fountain and tower, of cascade and castle and culminating spire—of all that is lovely in nature with all that is refined and ennobling in art. Here, as at Chicago, the architect holds high carnival. If at the Columbian exposition we found the chaste purity of the lily in a presenta- tion “unequaled since the days of Phid- ias and Praxiteles,” the fairies who join bands in the Pan-American clothe themselves with the chaste hues of Titian and of Murillo, unequaled since the days of Venice and of the Alham- bra. Another dream of beauty will hang in the eastern sky, paralleling the visions of delight that linger on the western horizon, Who can doubt the educative effect of these architectural lessons within the hearts of the American people? It is, however, not enough to have evoked, like a mirage floating over the plains, these phantasmagorial delights which fill our lives with joy and our memories with dreams. The president of the French republic in the decree which laid the foundation of the expo- sition of 1900 declared the purpose of that great enterprise to be “a presenta- tion of the works of art and of indus- trial and agricultural products”’—an as- semblage of exhibits, That is without doubt the central, the formative, idea of the Pan-American Rxposition. Without exhibits there can be no ex- position. Each new and well arranged exposi- tion is a new edition of a world’s en- cyclopedia construeted by a scientific and exhaustive arrangement of ma- terial things, It is also a landmark. a | a universal exposition. Three Free Trips to the Great Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo. The Watchman’s Unparalleled Offer of a Summer Outing. Opportunity Open to All, Young and Old, Rich and Poor. The Chance of a Life Time to See Buffalo, the Great Exposition and Niagara Falls Without a Cent of Expense. The great Pan-American Exposition which will open at Buffalo on May 1st is expected to surpass, in many ways, the mar- vels of the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893. Already the attention of the entire civilized world has been directed to- ward it and millions of people from all parts of the globe will gather there this summer to enjoy the wonders of this grand show that is being especially designed to usher in the New Century. Are you going? If not, why not? The trip need not cost you a cent. The WATCHMAN will send you as its guest for a week and guarantee you one of the most delightful times you have ever had. The only conditions are these : You must get a few new subscribers to the WATCHMAN between now and J uly 1st. At that time the three persons who have secured the greatest number will be awarded the WATCHMAN’S trips. There is no trickery by coupons in this plan. All we want to know is the names of the persons undertaking to secure the trip. As they send in new subscriptions they will be credited with them and on July 1st the announcement of the winners will be made, with the number secured by each one. This will show to all contestants that the award has been fairly made. No matter how many new subscribers are secured, the prizes will be awarded just the same. new names, with the accompanying $1 for each one of them for a year’s subscription in advance, If a person sends in only two and if nobody else should care to enter the contest he or she will be sent to Buffalo just the same as if hundreds of new ones had been secured. The chance is open to every person in Centre county. And a very little trouble might win some one of them s they have never taken in their lives before. ist Prize. To the person securing the greatest num- ber of new subscribers to the WATCHMAN at $1.00 per year in advance between now and July 1st, 1901, we will give railroad transportation, board for one week at a good hotel and tickets of admission to the exposition grounds during the entire week. Winner to select the time of going. 2nd Prize. To the person securing the second high- est number of new subscribers to the WATCHMAN before July 1st, 1901, we will give railroad transportation to Buffalo and tickets of admission to the exposition -.ground, good for one week, during the great Pan-American Exposition. “comm st uch a trip as 3rd Prize. To the person securing the third highest number of new subscribers to the WATCH- MAN, at $1 per year in advance before July 1st 1901, we will give railroad transporta- tion to Buffalo and return at any time dur- ing the great Pan-American Exposition. milestone in the history of the world’s progress and the development of man- kind. No one may expect, no one should desire, to read through from first to last the marvels presented in As well expect to memorize the Library of Congress or of the British Museum. But, were the exposition or the library truly uni- versal, every man should find therein the latest utterance which the world can give upon any subject within the scope of human inquiry. Unless this be the fact the exposition is in some degree deficient in the fulfilling of its whole duty. Its duty may be express- ed, less exhaustively, perhaps, but with more practical truth, thus: It is a place not in which anybody will learn all it can offer, but in which anybody may enlarge the scope of his informa- tion. How far the Pan-American Ex- position can realize this criterion of completeness and of excellence will depend upon the area of space at its | disposal-and the skill of its officers in | the management of that space. It looks now as if it will become not an encyclopedia of all knowledge, but an ‘edition; de luxe of the most excellent selections. In this phase of the Exposition will be found its most instructive value. Whether it will also be the most edu- cative will depend upon the individual who is the recipient. The Exposition has a third phase, _| rendering another element of education through its power of amusement. Amid the whirl of sounds and scenes in the exhibit departments mind and body ac- quire intense fatigue which craves rest. The toil of simple observation becomes wearisome. Music becomes a restful solace. The magician’s wand lends new life to tired limbs. There was some froth in the Chicago Midway. But regarding the Midway after the lapse of seven years one is convinced that out of it came more enduring and practical information and education than there was of mere ephemeral foam. Years of travel leading to some of the remotest quarters of the earth would have been required to give even the casual observer ‘so much insight into the manners, customs and conduct ‘of peoples differing from us in race, color, religion and habits of life and .. thought as might have been gathered in a single journey up and down the purlieus of the Midway. An excellent condition of the Midway was its con- centration. While it was of the expo- sition, it was wholly by itself. Some things shown illustrated the processes of important business methods, like the making of glass or of lace, the cultur of ostriches, the work of the diver n the depths of the sea. Some showed] mediaeval structures, like the Castle of Blarney, the Streets of Old Vienna and of Constantinople. Some were wholly given to hilarity, like the Streets of Cairo, filled with innocent fun. These very scenes may not be repeated at the Pan-American, but others equally in- structive, equally interesting, equally amusing, will be shown. Above all, around all, will be display- ed the effects of scientific manifesta- tions, particularly of electricity, with such exuberance of force and such va- riety of effect as the world has not heretofore seen. The picture may not be overdrawn. The most marvelous anticipation will be realized. ~~ . 1 Seu: H. PEABODY, Superintendent of Liberal Arts. Lighting the Exposition. ' | When people read that over 300,000 incandescent lamps will be used to il- luminate the rrounds of the Pan-Amer- ican Exposition, few will stop to con- sider that electric lighting has made about all its growth during the last 20 years. In 1881 an incandescent light machine that would supply 250 lamps was considered wonderful. Iersistency of the Flavor. A western correspondent sends us this story, which may be taken with a few grains of salt as to the material allega- tion contained therein: A country customer had bought some fish at a village grocery store—swhether codfish, mackerel or herring is not 'neces- eary for the purposes of the story—and at her next visit to the store she entered 9 complaint. . ; “They tasted,” she said, “exactly like English breakfast tea.” “I’m not surprised, ma’am,” replied the grocer, “Those fish were caught in Bos- ton harbor.”—Youth’s Companion. !

Foster, years ago prominently identified with journalistic and business enterprises in Bellefonte, died at his home, 1205 north ' Second street, Harrisburg, Pa., at 8 o’clock on last Thursday evening. After years of active life in business spheres and dis- tinguished service to the government in military affairs he broke down on March 26th, 1900, and with the exception of a few weeks, during which he was able to be about, was confined to his bed until death released him of suffering from cancer of the stomach. Maj. Foster was born in Mifflinburg 73 years ago and his early life was spent in Union county. When a young man he clerked in Duncan’s store at Millheim and later conducted and owned a store at Cen- tre Mills, Centre county. He was also in the]mercantile businessin this place and in company with the late S. T. Shugert found- ed the Centre Democrat. Major Foster had a brilliant military record, being the hero of two wars. He served through the Mexican war and enlisted again when the Civil war required men for the defense of the flag. He served as a major of the 148th Pennsyl- vania volunteers. During the Mexican war he received a bad wound in the side. Of late years he has been in the employ of the State, hold- ing an important clerkship in the Depart- ment of Internal Affairs. When a young man he taught school at Aaronsburg and there met Miss Joanna Ettlinger, of that place, whom he mar- ried. She survives him with their two daughters, Elizabeth, who is now a teacher in the Carlisle Indian school and Margaret, at home. He was a brother-in- law of J. G. Kurtz, of the old Central Press of this place. Services were conducted at the home of the deceased by Rev. Luther Dale, pastor of the Messiah Lutheran church in Harrisburg. The body was then taken to Mifflinburg for interment on Mon- day. Brief services were held at the Kurtz home in that place before burial was made. goo by I JOSEPH A. GREEN.—Joseph A. Green, a retired resident of Milesburg, died at the home of his cousin J. Miles Green, on last Thursday afternoon, from the affects of stomach trouble, with which he had suffer- ed for some time. : He was a son of Gen. S. Miles Green and was born at Barree, Huntingdon county, in January, 1843. It was then an iron center and the Greens were among the early day iron masters. Joseph was educated at. Lanrenceville, N. J. and when the war broke out joined the 125th Penna. Vols. and later the 13th Cavalry. Being of revo- lutionary ancestry it was but natural that he should achieve honor in the service and it was while serving as a lieutenant of cav- alry that he was taken prisoner and confin- ed in Libby prison. After his exchange he served as Adj. of parole camp and later was chief of staff with Gen. S. M. B. Young in the Shenandoah Valley. ; ads Upon his return from the army he engag- ed in business.at Barree, but when the great slamp in the iron business made it no longer profitable the brothers Col. G. Dor- sey Green, of Briarly, Joseph and their sis- ter Miss Hannah E. Green, of Milesburg, came to this county and located on the fine farm now occupied by Col. G. Dorsey | Green, alone.
