WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. 5, 1903.
Editor Prcsß
Congressconvenesatnoon to-day
and will bend its energies with ex
ceptional application to the accom
plishment of the great amount of
work which remains to be done be
fore the end of the session. With
the parliamentary ability for which
he has long been famous, Senator
Quay has managed to preserve the
-t:il us of hit territorial bill which is
still the unfinished business. The
early hours of the session will
doubtless witness an earnest at
tempt on the part of the republi
cans in the Senate to administer to
the Omnibus bill its coup do grace
but it will require exceptional abil
ity to catch Mr. Quay off his guard.
Meanwhile, an opposition measure
which provides for the admission of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory as
one state has been introduced and
will be used as a foil for the more
sweeping measure.
There is intense interest in the
fate of the Cuban treaty. At the
last Cabinet meeting it was deter
mined to force the issue; in eo far
as the administration has the power,
and to make a vote for its ratifica
tion a test of loyalty to the presi
dent. Nevertheless there are some
Senators who regard the bill as the
first step in a movement which has
for its ultimate end the lowering of
the Dingley tariff and they are, as
yet, strongly apposed to the con
vention. Senator l»latt of Con
necticut, returned to Washington
early with a view to getting a grasp
on the situation and of furthering
the interests of the measure of
which he is a known champion.
Senator Scott is one of those be
lieved to oppose the bill, although
he refused to acknowledge his op
position when approached by your
Correspondent, <)n the 7th, a hear
ing will be given to the friends of
the New Foundland treaty its op
ponents having already been heard.
It is not regarded at this time as
likely that the treaty will be rati
fied, however.
The most interesting political
feature of the week is tlie publica
tion of Senator Hoar's anti-trust
bill which, if not an administration
measure, conforms closely to the re
commendations of the President
and the Attorney < Jeneral. It pro
vides for publicity for tlio usual
form ol" trusts and prohibits combi
nations in restraint of trade. Al
ready, serious opposition has de
veloped in the person of Kepresenta
tative Jenkins, chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, the support
of which committee must be secur
ed before the bill can come before
the House for consideration. There
are many who regard the bill un
constitutional but it may be passed
if only to test the law.
Secretary Hay has practically
concluded negotiations with Dr.
Herran, the representative of Co
lombia and is now awaiting the de
cision of the Colombia government
in regard to the treaty which will
authorize the construction of the
Panama Canal. The terms of the
treaty as they now stand provide
for an initial payment to Colombia
of s 10,000,000 and an annuity of
£loo,ooobeginning in ten years and
continuing hereafter for all time,
or as long as the I'nited States shall
maintain the canal. It is believed
that these terms are personally satis
factory to l)r. Herran, the Colom
bian Minister, but he l -ars that
they will not meet with the ap
proval of his countrymen. To sign
a treaty which did not meet with
their approval would Imj dangerous.
It will be remembered that when
Senor Andrado, the Venezuelan
Minister, secured the intervention
of the I'nited States in the Vene
zuelan boundary question his
countrymen were so pleased that
they elevated hint to the presidency
but when the decision of the court
of urhitratiiou failed to satisfy all
the . leinamU of the Ycnc/ticlaiiK,
Cartro led a revolution which de
posed Andrade and compelled hint
to flee to Paris for bis life.

Searching for Santa Claus, Under
Table Illumination.
Some wiseacre has said that men are
easier to wait on than women when
they join the ranks of holiday shop
pers. The statement is accounted for
on the ground that a man seta out with
the idea that he knows exactly what
he wants, yet never gets it. A woman,
on the contrary, seldom knows what
she wants, but she .always manages to
tlnd it before she relinquishes her self
imposed round of department counters.
It was with the delightfuly vague de
sires of the latter class that one woman
boarded a Broadway car during the
holiday season. The windows along
the way were decorated with holly
wreaths, the shops were full of Xmas
allurements, and on most of the promi
nent corners Salvation army lassies
rang bells, to call attention to numer
ous kettles on tripods, which were
labelled "Christmas dinners for the
poor.'' Into these bright-hued pots
dimes and dollars were showered by a
merry, good-humored, generous throng
bent on searching for Santa Claus.
Some found what they took for him
at Wanamaker's, and hundreds paused
in the rotunda to gaze at the great
group of statuary, which represented
King Santa Claus and his court in a
gold-columned temple, over which
played irridescent lights that enhansed
the splendor of the scene
Others came by chance upon a genu
ine flesh and blood Kris Kringle at the
corner of 14th street and Gth Ave lie
paraded up and down in front of I
Macy's old stand, attracting a crowd
by his outlandish costume. With quip
and joke he advised the laughing
throng that Macy had followed the
march of fashion, atul moved up town.
Those who reached the point indicated
at midday witnessed the interesting
movement of some monstrous bronze
tigures on the Herald headquarters,
which struck the hour of twelve with
clock-like precision.
The moments of the afternoon slip
by unheeded while eager shoppers tlit
from store to store, and the electric
lights are springing into life when
tired, but unsatisfied, they retuctantly
board cars, and spend "a succeeding
hour in hanging onto swaying straps,
and submitting without a'murmur to
being jostled by a mob who are con
tinually ordered by the conductor to
achieve the impossible feat of "Move
up in front."
Xmas morning did not dawn—it
snowed down, to the high delight of
the small boy who found a sled in his
stocking. The parks resounded with
the hilarity o{'coasters, and every slei«h
that could be begged, borrowed, or
bought was putin requisition to make
the most of the rare sleighing season
in the city. The automobile was tem
porarily relegated to oblivion, and New
York entered with spirit into enjoying
an old-fashioned pastime.
Meantime thousands were wending
their way to the Grand Central Palace,
where abundant dinners were distribut
ed to all who applied. If any body in
New York lacked a good dinner Xmas
day, it was his or her own fault; for
charitable people saw to it that plenty
was provided for all who chose to eat.
And those who bore baskets home were
given five cents for car fare, llats off
to the generous, even if naughty city !
The news boys lived up to their time
honored Xmas custom of dining oil pie
before turkey. At the tables of the
well-to-do the popular pie was of the
"Jack Horner" type, it formed an at
tractive centre piece to the banquet,
and at a signal from the hostess each
guest pulled a ribbon, whereupon the
traditional plum, in the form of a pre
sent, fell to his or her share
At one ultra fashionable banquet the
table was of heavy plate glass, and an
electric light under the glass top illu
minated the room quite enough, not
withstanding the fact that it was vtiled
by damask. I may add that no men
dropped underneath that table as a
consequence of imbibing overmuch.
TOOTED IN.
There is a well authenticated report
that about half a century ago people
used to hear the Trinity chimes on the
birth of a New Year. Habit isso strong
that throngs still cluster round the
historic edifice on New Year's eve, for
no other purpose except to listen to
the sweet-voiced bells "ring out the
Old and ring in the New;" but nobody
but the bell ringer ever hears the
chimes nowadays, and it is only a high
sense of duty that keeps him playing
to the irreverent masses in the street
below,who drown his music with thous
ands of tooting horns and hundreds
of steam whistles, in addition toa whole
lot of devils' fiddles, electric buzzers,
and noise provoking instruments.
Many of the girls wore strings of sleigh
bells for belt-*, and some of the young
men had cow bells sluug over their
shoulders, wlu-n litn.'i descended on
Hroadway in a pandemonium ol sound
that made it necessary to take the
chimes on trust, since the only know
ledge that they were discoursing music
was gleamed from reading the pro
gramme, and consulting •> watch

to midnight, the skyscrapers in that

HAMILTON.
The death of MRS. ELANORE HAMIL
TON, Saturday, January 3rd, at her late
on East Fourth St., from acute
pneumonia, came as a sad surprise to
many of our citizens. Her sickness was
of only a few days duration and though
every effort was made to stay the pro
gress of the subtle malady, her extreme
age, 78 years, rendered them unavail
ing. Mrs. Hamilton was born in Rex
ville, Stuben County, N. Y. Thirty-five
years ago she removed to Emporium,
where she has since resided. She is
survived by four children all of whom
were at her bed side when the end
came: Mrs. S. A. Harris, Buffalo; Mrs.
R. W. Lewis, Patton, Pa.; Mrs. C. 11.
Horner, Glade Run, Pa.; and Mrs.
George Seaver, of town. Mrs. Hamil
ton was a person of unbending integ
rity. She was possessed of a high sense
of honor and honesty as between
neighbor and neighborandever sought
to observe the spirit and practice of the
golden rule in her relation to those
about her. She was thoroughly un
selfish, seeking to promote, not so
much the ends of her own comfort
and ease as that of others.
She was a true anil devoted mother,
ever ilesirous that her children should
do right and to that end faithfully em
ploying all her energies.
Accepting and trusting in Christ as
her Savior, she died in the comfort
hope and peace of the gospel.
Funeral services were held at her
late homo last Tuesday afternoon, her
pastor tho Rev. O. S. Metzler officiat
ing. There was a largo attendance.
Interment was made in Newton Ceme
tery.

At Olivedale, McKean county, on
December 23d, Mrs. Edward Burdick,
aged 29, in order to defend her honor,
shot and instantly killed John Ryan.
It appears that Ryan who was in a
semi-intoxicated condition attempted to
commit an outrageous assult on the
woman, when she,fired the fatal shot.
Coroner Hall, of Bradford, visited the
scene of the tragedy and empaneled a
jury, who 011 hearing the testimony of
several persons, brought in a verdict to
the effect that Mrs. Burdick was justifi
ed in killing tho man. Ryan was 30
years of age and had been employed
in that vicinity.

Wrong Again.
The political editor of the Indepen

dreamed that the poor tax-papers are
liable for the costs connected with the
election contest in this county. We
thought every school boy knew better,
yet the wonderful wise and never-go
wrong chap of the Independent would
like to fool his poor followers with such
stuff. Anything to tool the people ap

Supports the Curfew Law.
From the Christian World and Evan
gelist:
It will probably surprise many of our
readers to know that fully throe thous
and cities, towns and villages in the
various states of the American Union
now have a curfew law. Many ofthem
where it is enjoyed report a decrease
in the arrests and commitment of
youth to the station houses, jails and
raform schools of GOto 80 per cent.
President Hoagland, of the National
Curfew Association, who gives these
facts in the Church Economist, states
that in some localities the curfew law,
which obliges the young to be off the
streets at 9 o'clock in the evening, has
increased the attendance in the Sabbath
schools and most notably that of the
boys. We are also told that some
months after the adoption of the ordi
nance at Lincoln Neb., the city couuci)
there endorsed a resolution commend
ng the ordinance to the officials through
out the country generally and statingat
the same time that there had been under
the curfew a decrease in the commit
ments of youths to station houses, jail*
and reform schools of eighty per cent.
In this view of the matter the curfow
law seems to be salutary and benefi
cient, although its enforcement in larg*
cities would probably not be practj.
