On account ot "the distrust and appre- I hension concerning the financial situation I which peryade all business circles, have al ready cansed great loss and damage t* our people and threaten to cripple our mer chants, stop the wheels of our manufactures, bring distress and privation to our far mers and withhold from our workingmen the wage of labor," President Cleveland has called for an extra session of Congress, to convene on Monday, August <th. The bankers and importer* of the coun try are determined to have the silver pur chasing clause of what is called the Sher man law repealed. This law provides for the purchase by the National Government of four and a half million ounces of silver each month; and though it makes a foroed market for that amount of silver, the pro duction of that metal has increased so rap idly, that with the natural decrease in val ue, the actual or intrinsic value of ono of our silver dollars is at present but 52 cents. Repealing the Sherman law will still fur ther decrease the value of silver, and as the majority of tho Democratic members of both Houses favored free coinage at the last session, which is the longest step that can be taken in the opposite direction, it is not likely that the Sherman law will bo re pealed unless it be after a tremendous fight. So look out for music, and lots of it, at the coming session of CongTess. TnE Christian Endeavorers had an in teresting time at the close of their conven tion in Montreal last Sunday. On the previous Friday, a speaker from India made some ill-timed remarks regarding the Roman Catholic church, which, re peated over the city excited tho resent ment of the French-Canadians and caused a mob of some fifteen thousand people to assemble around the great tent in which the convention was held. A riot was fear ed, but it was averted by having a thous and militiamen guard the delegates as they emerged from the tent. Worthy of Our Best Efforts. Our people are taking a lively interest in the movement to secure the location at Butler of the State institution for feeble minded persons. It is worthy of their best efforts; and we may win. But certain it is we cannot win without an effort. We understand four plots of land near town are being prepared, each containing 500 acres or more, to send to tho State Commissioners or show them when they como here. This is the way to do. Let thero be a neat draft or map of each offer of each 500 acres, showing tho different farms or parts o( which it is composed. This should be done up in business shape, giving the number of acres in each piece, with the Owners name, and the price ask ed. The State Commission may not be able to personally see and examine each and every location offered, and therefore it is very desirable to have a good plot of each to hand to them. These they will want at examine at their leisure. As to price, we hope our peoplo willing to sell will not frighten the Commission away with too high figures. A fair price should be asked, the worth of the land,and no more. So far as we have learned there is no disposition on the part of any to ask more than the real value of their land. It would be foolish to do so, and would only lessen our chances of securing tho insti tution here. THE town of Pomeroy, lowa, was visit ed by a tremendous cyclone last Friday evening. Fifty-threfc persons were killed outright, seventy-fivo were fatally injured, and one hundred and fifty were injured. Scarcely a house was left standing. Harrison on the Extra Session. "Do you think that the calling of an ex tra session will bring immediate relieft" was asked of ox President Harrison, and ho answered: "I hardly think so. The country is in a state of distrust. Who knows what Con gress will do in August? Will it repeal the Sherman act or will it notf AVill it at tempt to legislato on other subjects! Will it put into legisation the declaiations in the Chicago platform* If it should do so, it would shake tho business of this country from centre to circumference. I do not see how any free trader or tariff reformer can expect tnat this country can pass from a high tariff to a low tariff without con vulsion. Meanwhile all is uncertainty. I do not say that I regard the conditions as greatly alarming. But it is easy to see a ghost fourteen feet high, and it is easy for people to exaggerate the prospects of evil. I, for one, do not wish to embarrass my successor by attempting to magnify tho present difficulties. The Republican party has never been a calamity party and has never made capital for itself out of its country's woes. But I said last fall that the Chicago platform adopted by the Dem ocratic party was essentially destructive, and the distrust among the people at the prospect of having its promises carried out shows that they aro of the same way of thinking. "A great many people aro relying upon President Cleveland's conservatism. Well, fas I have said before, it is an excellent thing to have a good driver to handle the reins and brake, but tho kind of horses that draw tho team must be taken into consideration. How those Southern aud Western members who have shouting for free coinage, wild cat banks, and other wild schemes will act in the traces I can not say. The President's duty will be done, however, when he calls Congress together and lays his recommendations be ■ fore them.'' ■ THERE was rioting in the streets of Paris last week, the police were unable to dis perse the crowds, which were charged by tlio cavalry, many were killed and wound ed. Hostility to the police seemed to be the cause df the trouble. THE cold storage building and skating rink on the south western part of the World's Fair grounds was destroyed by fire last Monday afternoon, and several firemen lost their lives. The World's Fair. So much ha* been -aid and written about the World's Fair, now open at Chi cago. and the Fair itself is so vast, so var ied and so complete, that it is perplexing to one of ordinary mental capacity, who has spent a few days on the grounds and buildings to know just what to say of it. Upon entering the grounds and walking to the main Court one at once becomes aware of the magnitude of the Fair, and yet be does not fully appreciate that one point until at the end of the day, footsore and weary, he finds that he has seen but a small fraction of the whole. And again the beauty and elaborate de tail of each of the great buildings, where all are so handsome and so complete is not appreciated until the diilorences in the construction and finish of each is noted. The grtat mass of white ouildings. so varied in architecture and ornamentation, with the lagoon and island park, viewed from cither the top of the Main or Trans portation building makes as pretty a pic ture as one could wish to see, aud as each of these great buildings is tilled with the choicest productions of the entire civilized world the task of eeeing it all within a limited time is a hopeless one. And again after walking through one vast building tilled with exhibits after an other, for several days, mind and body be come weary, novelty palls and the sight seer is as anxiouj- to return home as he was to go. 'Twere better mix a little of the sido show with the main circus, and spend a part of each day in what is called the Midway Plaisance, where Africans and East Indians can be seen in imitations of their native villages, aud where can be found the shops, and streets, and rostau rants, and theaters of almost every civiliz ed and half-civilized Nation of the Earth. The Japanese stores are the most patroniz ed for novelties to take home, while there is almost always a crowd around the 11- months old Chinere baby on exhibition on the second floor of tho Chinere build ing. One of the first things that each and every visitor should do is to go up to the roof of the Main building, where from a heighth of over two-hundred feet one can secure an excellent view -of the grounds, lower part of the city and the lake, and stay as long as he wishes—in which re spect it excells the Ferris wheel or balloon. The elevator fee is 25 cents, while the wheel is 50 cents and the balloon a dollar; and one of your trips between the Fair and the city should bo made in the steamer for the view of the buildings from it. The mmense wharfs at each end of the line are also worth seeing. Volumes conld be wntten regarding the exhibits in each building—the .Main build ing, the Agricultural, Machinery, Electric ity, Mining, Transportation, Horticulture. Art and Government baildings—and be sides these there are the Leather, Fores try, Womens and Fisheries buildings—all till ed with exhibits representing the progress made by the human race in producing everything that man can produce or aid in producing, and these exhibits will be of value to each visitor largely in proportion to the previous information he possesses regarding the subjects he investigates. The displays are almost infinite in number and variety, and at some of them of spe cial interest, such as the diamond washing in the mining building, and tho splendid model of the Victoria in tho Transporta tion building, you will have to get in line and await your tarn to go up tho narrow gangway provided for the spectators. Located at the Xorth end of the grounds are the numerous State and Foreign build ings. every ono of which is worth seeing. Our State building is one of tho handsom est there, and it is tho best place in the grounds to take a rest when fatigue over comes you. Scattered over tho grounds, also, are in numerable, small, but handsome, buildings used for special exhibits. By carrying a map of the grounds in your hand, you can tell what these are when you come to them, and you will also lind diagrams of each of the large buildings of use—for giving you the location of the restaurants and other conveniences in them, if nothing else. All these maps can bo purchased in tho city or near the entrances. The best place to stop, in our opinion, is at ono of the numerous apartment houses or hotels, near the 59th or 60th street en trances, on either side of the Midway Plaisance, over which the railroad passes on an immense platform, used as a station. A good room can be secured for a dollar a day for each adult, and there are numer ous restaurants in each vicinity, where you pay for just what you order from tho bill of fare, one "portion" at the better places being enough tor two. You are away from the noise and dirt of the city down there, the Buffalo Bill and Sebastopol shows are located near tho 60th street entrance, and you can reach the city if you wish, by any of the numerous railroad trains in fifteen 'minutes, or by the cable or electric cars in half an hour. The arrangements made for handling the vast crowds are perfect. Both of our railroad systems are giving us good service to Chicago. Tbe Pennsyl vania affords both day and night trains each way, and the Chicago Express on the 'P. Jfc W., which stops at Callerv at 4:15 p. m., (our time) arrives at Chicago at 7: 40, their time, next morning. It is a lone ride, and the price paid for a berth in a sleeper,(s2.so) is money well spent. The bertns are large enough for two persons of ordinary size, and that expense can be divi ded. If you do not wish to go into the city you change cars at South Chicago, and go directly to the grounds. Coming home on the B. A- 0. and P. A- W. one is forced to take a night train or olso endure a long lay over at Akron, O. The best train is one that leave* Chicago at 4:55 p. m. It is a vestibule train with dining car attached, but it does not Btop at Callery junction, which makes it necessary for passengers to Butler to get off at either Xew Castle junction or Ellwood and wait 40 .minutes for the local train from New Castle to Alio gheny to como along. (By all means get off at Ellwood, and go up to the hotel and get your breakfast il'you wish, for New Castle junction is one of the most disconso late places on Earth, a fitting rival for Blairsville Intersection.) The local train makes close connection at Callery and you are in Butler at 9:30 a. m. A Birthday Party. It was our good fortune to be at a birth day party Jnne 28, 1893, at the home ot Mrs. Anihal Pryor of Hooker, when the old friends and neighbors of Mrs. Pryor assembled to celebrate her G3rd birthday. Early in the day the smiling faces of meu, women and children were seen coming t>> Mrs. Pryor's, and with grateful hearts and well filled baskets thoy preparod to lavish thoir respects upon one so worthy. A fter spending somo time in pleasant con versation, a table was spread weighted with the many good things to satisfy the appetite. Dinuer being over, the mi-et ing was called to order; Mr. Robert Ham ilton was chosen chairman, anil E. (i. Troutman, Secretary. We then listened to a very appropriate address bv the chairman, followed by tho presentation speech by Rev. J. 11. Breaden. A number of valuable presents were presented to Mrs. Pryor. A responsive address was made by J. C-. Christie, thanking tho people for the rerpect they showed to Mrs. Pryor. The meeting closed with tho benediction by Rev. Breaden, and all went home with as grateful hearts as they came.glad they were there and hoping Mrs. Pryor might live to enjoy many such ccaasions. SKC'Y. Petersville Items.

EDITOR CITIZEN—I wish to make men tion through your valuable paper ol the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Keister which took place on July Gtb,1893. they being married liftj- years on that date. The morning was a bright one and as tho sun gradually crept higher and higher so did the relatives and friends of the abovo named parties gather to the wedding w ,th well filled baskets aud their faces all aglow with joy and pleasure. The principal features of the morning were the wishing of the aged couple happiness, renewing old acquaintances and forming new ones, bu- while thus enjoying themselves the dinuer was not forgotten, as quite a num ber of ladies were fast preparing a meal that was fine enough for a queen; but just as dinner was announced we were treated to some fine music by the choirafter which the older folks present were all comfort ably seated around the table, and so on until all were perfectly satisfied that life is not always a failure. Their children and grand children were all present, the children are J. C. Keister of Euclid, Mrs. Laura J. Mcßurney of Portersville and 0. F. Keistcr.of Prospect.

Quite a number of the citizens of Ea*t Brady went to Kittanning on the 3rd to be present at the sale of tho Brady s Bend Iron Co's. property, but the sale was ad journed till Aug. tst. The East Brady Rtvicv says that the reason for this delay is known only to the trastees and their attorniesand cannot bo learned, and to ad vance any theories would be extremely foolish, si) that all we can do is to wait and hope that when August Ist rolls arouud the sale will be made without fail and that the title to the 59 acres in East Brady un der dispute "will be settled before the sale takes place and the whole business adjust ed for good. Although everyone believes that the titles to lots here are good, yet at the same time there is a cloud over them that should be removed and they should all join together in having the obstacle re moved and things put to rights. An at torney has been employed to take charge of the matter and those who wish to have their properties among the list to be look ed after by this attorney should see to it and pay their share of the expenses in curred by the employment of said attorney. Two dollars is the sum each lot owner has been assessed and this amount can be paid to either Drs. Longwell, Robinson or Wallace of this place. By not giving the matter attentioh now you may bring con siderable trouble upon yourself in ttio fu ture by this negligence. Have all the Requirements.
