WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Fromour Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, March 11, 1905.
Editor P'csa:—
There is 110 doubt that a San
Domingan treaty will be confimed
by the Senate but it will be so little
like the original treaty first sub
mitted as to be unrecognizable by
its authors. The history of this
treaty is somewhat curious. The
Secretary of State who has during
his eight years management of the
department achieved big reputa
tion as a diplomatist was ill and
away from the department during
the San Domingan negotiations.
An Assistant Secretary or shall we
say a journeyman in diplomacy
bungled the job. The President
who thinks more of results than
of verbiage and whose time was
much occupied with other matters
permitted the paper togo to the
Senate as presented and it is pro
bable that he is as grateful as he
should be for the careful scrutiny
and amendment that it has receiv
ed from the body of lawyers and
strict constructionists.
The death after three days ill
ness of the venerable Senator Bate
of Tennessee is so far the most
conspicuous fatality of inaugura
tion day exposure. There are
may other less notable victims.
It is impossible under usual Fourth
of March weather conditions that
there shall not be many deaths
from grippe, pneumonia and other
deseases from exposure. When
one remembers that a simple vote
of Congress might change the day
ot Inauguration from chilly and
boisterous March the Fourth to
sunny April tho thirtieth, the day
on which the first President was
sworn in it is impossible to regard
Congress as other than guilty of
man slaughter through laches. On
every fourth of March at the Inau
guration ceremonies hundreds of
thousands of people unaccustomed
iiO exposure are in the weather
from five to ten hours, often with
out food and it cannot be other
wise than that many of them must
succomb.
The National Congress of Moth
ers is now in session in Washing
ton and delegates from twenty
states in the Union have been reg
istered. The greatly increased
numher-of Mothers' Clubs repre
sented indicates the growing
strength of the organization which

welfare of children of all classes. |
The Congress will be in session ten J
days and will be addressed by some j
of the best known educators in the I
country. Professor Stanley Hall, ]
the Author of "Adolescence" will j
speak and Monday evening l'resi-;

dress on his favorite subject of i
Race Suicide. The Delegates will;
ba received by Mrs. Roosevelt and j
will also be given a reception by |
Mrs. Henderson wife of ex-Senator j
John 15. Henderson. There will
be a model kindergarten and nurs

Mrs. DuJiois, wife of Senator Du-
Boisof Idaho.

The Observer.
It seems that the story of the trip to
Washington to see the inauguration
has not yet been told, and it has been
put up to the Observer to tell it.
The trip began with a watch-meet
ing in the Pan-American station at
midnight on tho 3rd inst. The sixteen
Cameron county pilgrims, with one or
two commercial travellers and the
waiting train crew, made up the as
semblage. For the most part it was a
Quaker meeting. The most Quaker
like person present was Mr. Harry S.
Lloyd, silent and all but invisible in a
corner, his conscience on the wrack
because of the unpropitious weather
prevailing without. Occasionally a
sally from Judge Huntley or a quip
from Mr.Henry Aucliu,broke the sole
mnity of the gathering. But the pre
vailing atmosphere was one of gloom,
so much so that one of the party was
moved to say, "We have the Observer
with us and Mr. Laßar, All that we
want now is a doctor and a druggist."
Punctually on the hour—exactly one
hour late—the train from Buffalo
steamed in. Within twenty minutes Mr.
McNarney had the last of his charges
tucked safely away for the night.
There was no dispute over lower and
upper berths, as the thin men, like
Messrs. Lloyd, Gregory, Taylor and
llobßon, chivalrously declined to run
the risk of sleeping below such heavy
men as Judge Huntley and Mr. La
Bar. The Observer's sleep that night
was neither sweet nor dreamless.
Once he thought that he was at home
burning gas into the small hours as he
wrote on copy for the PREPS. This
peaceful and pleasant occupation was
disturbed by a heavy, muffled knock
ing on the front door, and the Obser
ver awoke with a frightened start to
find that the brakes were beingapplied
preparatory to one of the numerous
stops with which we were favored dur
ing the night. A few minutes before
we were due in Washington, the Ob
server peeped out from below his
window curtain to find that the train
was reposing comfortably under the
shed at Harrisburg. This comfortable
repose was maintained an hour long
er, and was frequently resumed dur
the remainder of the crawl. It was in
the midst of one of these restful
periods, when the hour for administer
ing the presidential oath had struck,
that Judge Huntley remarked plain
tively, "This is no disappointment so
far as we ourselves are concerned, but
just think how distressing it must be
to the President!"
Break fastless and lunchless, (save
for a few sandwiches and also a swal
low of c offee—said to be hot—indulged
in by a few), afflicted with thumping
headaches and temper aches, the party
alighted 011 a back street, a good mile
from the station, and in a few minu
j ten were lost in the throng on Penn-
sylvania Avenue. It was a case of
so. live qui pent, for the hour of the pa
rade was at hand and that was all that
was left for any of us to see. The
Observer struck the Avenue just west
of the Capitol and saw the detachment
of artillery, which formed the head of
the parade, marching past. The Ob
server stood for a few minutes, gazing
at the thrilling sight and then hurried
along to the Sixth street station for the
purpose of checking his bag. This
office the checkman declined to per
form, as "we are all filled up.'' And
indeed the parcel room resembled the
store room of a tannery. Thence the
Observer hastened to a building to
which he had a ticket to the third
floor, where he enjoyed an excellent
view of the whole parade. Most of
the other members of the Cameron
county party were here also, through
the kindness of our congressional and
legislative representatives. Numer
ous visitors from our district were in
| the room, among the number some
I friends of Governor Higgins who
greeted him with shouts of "Ilig
i gins ! Higgins 1 Olean !" as he rode
' past at the head of tho New York
, militia. Governor Higgins was less
stiff in acknowledging plaudits than
was Governor Pennypaeker.
The parade was well worth seeing
and hearing. The Observer has only
to shut his eyes to hear in memory the
' imposing din of the drum and fife corps.
If it shall ever be the lot of the Observer
to march into battle, he hopes that there
will be a loud screaming of fifes and a
heavy thumping of drums to nerve
him to the fray.
About five o'clock the Observer in
company with several others started
up the Avenue towards the White
House Progress along the thronged
pavemtnt was very slow, so we pur
sued a zjg-zag course, resuming the
Avenue n(*ar the Treasury building.
We hnp e( ] get somewhere near the
front of theV President's reviewing

stand, but were confronted by impass
able ropes. Not having a Nogi or an
Oku with us, we did not venture to
break through the lines, and so were
disappointed in our effort to see the
President.
In a short time the parade was "an
insubstantial pageant faded," and im
mediately the Observer, turned his
steps homeward, that is, to the Sixth
Street Station. Of the terrific jam
there, particularly next the gates, in
which the Observer was held for over
half an hour, of his three hours' ride to
Baltimore standing in the aisle of a
crowded day-coach, of the mental dis
tress which he experienced until he
reached Harrisburg for fear the Buf
falo train had slipped away from him,
of his jov at finding the said train at
Harrisburg at 2 a. m., and getting into
the berth which he had engaged lrom
Washington,—the Observer will say
nothing. Thirty hours after we
started away, the Observer and four
others alighted from the train, above
the Junction, the first of the party to
return.
Washington is a good city to visit,
and an inauguration is a good cere
mony to be interested in; but here
after the Observer will visit Wash
ington when inauguration day is not
nigh; and he will show his interest
in future inaugurations by reading
about them at a comfortable distance
from the Nation's Capital.

An Exciting Raccoon Hunt.
On Friday, March 10th a woodsman
reported to Mr. J. C. Skillman that he
had seen two coons go into a hollow
tree at a place called Big Run ntar
Cameron about three miles from camp.
Mr. Skillman, accompanied by Mr.
Henry Dininny, Wallace Fields and
Maurice Young, taking their dogs and
guns set out for the place to secure the
game if possible. Upon arriving at
the tree they saw five coons go into a
hole about three feet from the ground.
Mr. Fields was soon at work on the
tree with his axe, while the other gen
tleman stood by with guns, ready to
shoot in short notice. At last the trea
fell and the animals were scurrying for
cover when three well aimed shots
killed as many animals and the other
two were soon engaged in a life and
death struggle with the dogs. These
last two were speedily placed horn du
combat and as 110 more coons were to
be seen, the hunters were about to
start homeward when Mr. Fields' eye
caught sight of something glistening
under the fallen tree near the nest.
Upon examination he found it to be a
Mexican silver dollar, dated 1869. It
was nearly as bright as a new one
could be. Upon further search
through the nest the hunters unearth
ed a razor and a box of Brown Herb
Tablets, both of which were in an ex
cellent state of preservation. Whether
this tree was tho hiding place of valu
ables for some old time hunter or
woodsman, or whether the coons with
their well known pulfering instincts
had purloined the articles from some
camp, will never be known. Mr
Skillman will retain the Mexican coin
as a souvenier and pocket piece. The
coon hides aud trinkets can be seen at
the bookkeeper's office in Square
Timber Run.

NEW YORK LETTER.
Furs, Flowers, Fads, Fancies, and
Fashions Galore.
Our fine weather continues; a sharp
day now and then, but mostly bright.
We are nearing the season of niceties
—strawberries, sunshine, flowers and
other delightful things.
Now that the excitement of the In
auguration is over; that President
Roosevelt has had the time of his life;
that everybody knows what Mrs.
Roosevelt wore; how Miss Alice look
ed; when Vice-President Fairbanks
took his oath of office, and how things
went generally, we are settling back
into our usual groove. Let me eay
right here, that ladies are buying furs
as briskly as though it were early
December instead of March. Well,
they come in handy for late Spring and
early Fall wear, as well as for mid
winter. And when C. C Shayneis sell
ing off his magnificent peltries at red
letter rates because he does not want
to move or store them, one had
the incentive doubly intensified to
purchase now. lie sends illustrated
catalogues to all who address his em
porium in West Forty-second street.
He is getting ready to build a much
larger place, though his present one is
large and elegant—but inadequate to
the requirements of his imment-'e busi
ness.
I receive many letters from ladies
asking advice upon various points, and
am always glad to enlighten them
when I can. The majority of them
want to know ifl can tell them how to
remove superfluous hair from face and
arms. I have talked with a leading
chemist of this city, who has, for the
past thirty years, been makimg up a
powder from a private prescription of
his own, for the most refined and ex
clusive class of ladies who will not buy
or use the variua nostrums so widely
advertised. I have seen this depila
tory tried in some very aggravated
cases, and it works like a charm. I
have persuaded the chemist to put it
up for any lady who writes me that
she needs it, and he will supply a good
sized jar of it for SI.OO. Those inter
ested can address me, at r>o East 130tl»
Street, New York.
Mr. Shayne is a public spirited man,
and wields great influence from his
position as president of the Merchants'
and Manufacturers' Board of Trade, as
well as through his personal prestige
and magnetism. He holds that the in
flux of vagabond, thievish and out
cast emigrants is a menace to the pres
ent generation, and to posterity.
The majority of emigrants which
every incoming steamer dumps upon
our shores in rapid succession, differs
widely from the rugged pioneers from
other lands who helped to build up and
better America by becoming, them
selves, Americans.
Mr. Shayne also urges the reduction
of telephone rates—a sore point with
overcharged New Yorkers—.and of
ocean postage—the latter to two cents.
The short white glove is out of fash
ion. Mousquetaire tan Suede gloves,
stitched with black or white, are reviv
ed. The prevalence of the elbow sleeve
will doubtless (cause the return ef the
long, wrinklewristcd glove of Suede.
Irish crochet lacc makes exquisite
bats. Chip hats in pink or blue are
trimmed with velvet bows of the same
color in slightly deeper shade, and big
camellias. A stunning Directoire hat
is composed of tiny frills of pink lace,
and is wonderfully becoming.
The popularity of the flat-front skirt
is as great as ever, the immediate front
being a distinctive panel. Many skirts
are trimmed with self ruffles.
Gowns of linen and cotton, in color,
are embroidered in white; and white
linen gowns have colored bands. The
smartest Summer suits will be of linen,
consisting of jacket and skirt.
Parasols are flinty affairs. One of

Returns After Seventeen Years.

Ileideckc, who resided with hiß wife
and children on Plank Road Hollow,

and other friends, deeded the farm to
wife and again departed. Ho has re
sided in the west a!! these years, while
his wife and childr- n stuck to the farm
and made a good living by hard work.
Wo are glad he has righted the wrong,

Brady for several weeks, has been
blown out and active work has com

workmen have been engaged an d with
in a week the brick work will com

get the plant in shape again. Mr.
Brady has been working day and
night for a week, hoping to prevent a
shut down, which entails an outlay of
many thousands of dollars. The works

Joseph Cloghessey is in jail again.
He is a lad of about sixteen and hails
from Keating Summit, is a son of
James Cloghessey and has a brother
in the Reform School. Last fall bo
spent several months in jail awaiting
trial on a surety of peace proceedings
institute by Joshua Sykes. Joe was
acquitted by Judge Ormerod and Uncle
Sykes ordered to pay about $7:5 dollars
costs. Tiie latter was of the opinion
that Joe had something to do with
burning his handle factory.
Last Friday Joe was in Coudersport
and about dinner time met Sheriff
Stevens between the Court House and
the jail and asked the privilege of
going to the bastile to see some of his
old roommates. He was escorted in
and as soon as the Sheriff could get to
the telephone there was call for him
from Keating Summit. He was asked
by the Constable if he had seen any
thing of Joe.
"He is visiting the jail this minute,''
said the sheriff.
"I have a warrant for his arrest on
the charge of stealing twenty five dol
lars in gold from Mrs. Daniel Smith.
Hold him until I can get there,". said
the Constable.
Joe was somewhat surprised when
the Sheriff told him to hang up his hat
and make himself at home.
Saturday morning Mrs Smith, Judge
Avery and other witnesses came over
and Joe was given a hearing before
Justice Orcutt and held to the March
term of Court.
Among thegold pieces Joe is alleged
to have taken from Mrs. Smith, was a
S2O gold piece given to Mr. Smith by
his mother many years ago.—Couders
