P. H. SECHLKR Prospect,
The Turkish Legation at Washington
gave out the following official communi
cation Monday. "The Imperial govern
ment will not permit any distribution
among his subjects, in his own territory,
by any foreign society or individuals,
however respectable the same may be
[as, for instance, the Red Cross society],
of money collected abroad. Such inter
ference no independent government has
ever allowed, especially when the col
lections are made on the strength of
speeches delivered in public meetings by
irreconcilable enemies of the Turkish
race and religion and on the basis of
false accusations that Turkey repudiates.
Besides, the Sublime Porte is mindful of
the true interest of its subjects, and dis
tinguishing between the real state of
things and the calumnies and wild ex
aggerations of interested or fanatical
parties, will, as it has done heretofore,
under its own legitimate control, allevi
ate the wants of all Turkish subjects,
living in certain provinces, irrespective
of creed or race."
THE Venezuela Commission met in
Washington, Saturday, Justice Brewer,
presiding. The credential issued to each
member of the body states the President's
expectation that it will avail itself of all
possible sources of information, will ap
ply to the matter all pertinent rules of
municipal and international law, and
will report to the President the conclu
sions reached, together with the evidence
and documents considered, with as little
delay as may be compatable with the
thorough and impartial consideration of
the subject. Within these broad lines
the Commission is to fix upon its own
course of procedure, and it is understood
that it is to act in entire independence of
the State Department. Its investigations
are likely to extend over several months,
and it is probable that the country will
not learn much about them until they
are concluded.
DURING 1894 3,315 patents relating to
electricity were granted in Great Britian,
the United States and Germany. Of
these 1,130 were British, being ,one
twentietli of all British' patents; 1,704
were American, and 481 were German.
If electricity is still in its infancy, it will
be interesting to know how many patents
there will be when it grows up.
Dr. Jamison and his followers not
slain in the battle, are yet held prisoners
by the Boers. It was almost a matter of
course that when England found her
absorption of the gold fields of South
Africa thus blocked by the open de
claration of Germany and by the uncon
cealed opposition of France, Russia and
Italy, the British populace should hotly
proclaiui their readiness to meet the world
in arms. The logic of the situation ac
tually leaves Eugland for the time being
at the mercy of the weak South African
Republic, and it is reasonable to expect
that the shrewd leaders of that Govern
ment will gladly embrace thia opportu
nity to escape from British suzerainty.
That will be a bitter pill for England to
swallow; but it has been prepared by
Englishmen, and at present the other
great European Powers evidently mean
to see it accepted, however distasteful it
may be.
FIFTEEN thonsand tons of starch hav<?
been made from potatoes tliis season in
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota.
This enormous output necessitated the
use of nearly three and a half million
bushel* of potatoes.
I THE new state of Utah will elect two
rj.tr- «♦- ■ is strom;
| The government
was inaugurated at Salt T.-tHn- n. ..—rrror
week amid great rejoicing. Utah is the
forty-fifth State in the Union, to which
she had long sought admission. Polyg
amy was, of course, the objection for a
long time, but the new constitution for
ever prohibits this and it will be enforc-,
ed.
THE picturesque upper suspension
bridge at Niagara Falls will, within the
next year, be replaced by a new and
more modern structure, for which plans
are now practically completed. It will
be a steel arch bridge, 1,240 feet long
and 40 feet wide, and over 4,000,000
pounds of steel will be needed for it.
ENGLAND'S policy of reaching out af
ter the earth and the fullness thereof, and
of trampling upon the weak whenever it
is necessary to gain a point, is meeting
with serious set-backs of late. The Em
peror of Germany's letter to the Boers is
regarded in England as being much more
of an insult to the dignity of the British
Government than President Cleveland's
message on the Venezuelan question.
England s aggressive movements in the
Transvaal have arrayed all Europe against
that country.
WHILE the European nations are en
gaged in making faces at each other, and
he United States is looking after Venez
uela. the Turks continue th eir regular
occupation of killing Armenian Chns
tains.
The towns which have occasion to com
plain of the quality of their drinking wa
ter may find some mitigation in the tact
that the Philadelphia Inquirer prints a
copy of a letter written with the settlings
of the city water, which is said to make
a very fair quality of ink.
Senator Sherman has made a furtune
out of his book. He gets a royalty of
one dollar on each copy sold, and 127,-
000 copies have already been sold. As
Sherman is worth several million dollars,
its another case of giving to him who
hath.
John James Ingalls, the picturesque
and fluent ex-Senator from Kansas, wants
to go back to the Senate chamber, where
he was always conspicuous and some
times brilliantly so. Kansas has but one
Ingalls within her borders, and she ought
to exhibit him in the United States Sen
ate.
THE great ice palace at Leadvilie. Col.
is finished and was formally opened to

this work was celebrated with a parade
and speeches by local men.
Great Britain has 316 war ships and
Germany 86. On a week's notice Eng
land could bottle up the Germau navy
in the Baltic and tie up German vessels
in all their anchorages. Emperor Wil
liam is said to have mapped out an easy
way of invading England with an over
whelming force. He should bear in
mind the remark of the great Von
Moltke, who said that he knew ot nine
first-rate ways of invading England, but
hadn't been able to discover one good
way of getting back again. The dis
patch of the German Emperor that caus
ed the war-talk was addressed to Presi
dent Kruger of the Boer republic and
read as follows: I express my sincere
congratulations that supported by your
people and without appealing (or help to
friendly Powers, you have succeeded by
your own energetic action against the
armed bands which invaded your coun
try as disturbers of the peace, and have
1 thus been enabled to restore peace and
safeguard the independence of your
country against attacks from without,
Resolutions on the Death of Clement S.
Easley.
Wo, tho Members of Buffalo Township
Farmer's League No. 101, Department of
Pennsylvania, are again called npon to
put on record our tribute of reppect to an
other brother who has been called to his
final rest. But recently it was to one
somewhat advanced in years, now to one
who was passing from youth into manhood
—Clement S. Easley in his 20th year—
surely we who remain should be admonish
ed of the truth of this, "The young may
die. the old must."
We can truthfully say of the deceased
that he was a yonng man who was admir
ed and respected by all who knew him.
Ee was amiable, gentle and obliging in
his disposition; he •»as dutiful to Bis pa
rents, respectful to his teachers, pleasant
and agrooable to his associates, kind and
considerate to his brothers and sisters.
He was firmly attached to the church of
bis birth and of bis choice, a firm believer
in its doctrines, but, like his father, liberal
enough in his views to recognize others as
true Christians though differing in name.
His first serious illness manifested itself
when ho was a student in Slippcryrock
Normal School. It was of a pulmonary
natnre, lingering and deceptive, but has
tened at last by spinal menigitis. He bore
his sufferings with true Christion fortitude,
and hoping for restoration of health, yet
with a firm reliance in the wisdom and
goodness of Him "Who doeth all things
well."
To his afflicted father and mother and to
his sorrowing sisterf and brothers we ex
tern) our deepest and most heartfelt sym
patnies in this the time of their great afflic
tion; may they be comforted with this
thought; that what is their loss is his eter
nal gain.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread on onr minutes, a opy sent to his
Sarents and that they be published in the
>UTLRR CITIZEN.

Swept Into a Whirlpool.
Prof. E. S. Coffey of San Diego Col.,
lately received a letter from Lake CI ap.Ua
state of Jalisco, Mexico, which says that a
few days ago residents of onetof tbe small
settlements near tbe western end of Lake
Cbapaia were terrified to see a gigantic
whirlpool raging far out in the water.
The water rose in groat sorpentino move
ments, and from all directions nshed to
wards a common center, where a. vast
cavity seemed to exist. At the same time
a heavy rumbling was heard apparently in
the bowels of the earth. The whirlpool
was caused by the sudden sinking of a
large portiou of the lata'a bottom.
T.he disturbance continued for twenty
minutes, and before it subsided it is said
that several pleasure boats wore drawn
ii.To the whirlpool aud disappeared with
their occnpanU, It is estimated that a ;
score of livee were lont,
Tc* the Republicans of Butler County.
In ISS3 and IS9O I was by your votes
honored by being pr'' | C '""
nut recent the nocain*-
tion in the District sras no fault " r E " e
delegation pent to the Convention. The
last convention recited in disclosures
that led to the Philips -McDowell content
that lot us the District and elected a
Democrat. When the nixt time cornea
round, a (treat effort was made to "bury
the hatc'jet" and we were to help
do so, which, after coasultation with
Iriends we did, by yielding our chances
for the time, and Phillips and McDowell
were both sent to Congress. The next
time-1694-on the idvice of friend# we
staid oat. that the uartv usage of "two
terms might be had by the incumbent,
with every assurance teat Butler County
could then have her "two terms. With
this understanding we left the way open,
for others, fully exp?ct'ug th-s arrarge
ment to be carried out this year. For the
last six months we have known ol opposi
tion in the west side of the District to me,
and for what reason we have not been able
to discover. They admit it is Butler
County's turn to have the Congiessman,
but say 'we will defeat Black in tne
convention.'' It seems that' burying the
hatchet" applies to every body but myseif,
and why, 1 know not. Th«-y have said,
"any other good man from Butler County
we will help nominate." sj we have this
situation: Our County is entitled to the
Congressman, I have the assurance of
friends ail over the County that I can have
the delegation from the County again.
The opposition say they will heat me in
the convention, and we suppose ihey will
be able to control enough delegates lor
that purpose. Why, they w*ant to do so
we would like to know. With some other
man as our nominee they say our county
can have the nomination. Is it best for
the County that I keep in the fight to the
eiid and thereby lose the Comity's chances
for this year, by meeting defeat in the
convection, or should I step aside, give up
the hope of representing the people who
have sustained me so well in tho past, let
some one else be presented as Butler
County's man, ar.d thereby get what all
fair men in the District concede is our
right, the Congressman this year? The
latter would seem lo be tho proper thing
under the circumstances I have already
sacrificed much forfht-Jgood of the Countrj - .
When the war was going on I endured'the
privations of a soldier's life beginning at
the battle of the wilderness, was twice
wounded, from the effects ot which I
have not been free a day siace received,
thirty one years or more ago, and my
general health has required constant care.
Pave alwaj s been a working Republican,
giving of my timo and means to help
along the cause and am fairly entitled to
some recognition, bus as the interests cf
the County are always above aud beyond
those ot any one individual the occasion
■eems to demand at my hands still further
sacrifica for the good of the cause, and I
therefore stand aside that I may not be in
the way of our County eetting what is her
right, the Congressman in 1896. Let us
p.ll unite upon some one, a resident of our
County, give him tho solid delegation to
tbe convention, and there work for what
is due our county, the nomination in tho
District. Thanking the Republicans of the
County for the uniform support I havo
received ir. the past, p'.edging my earnest
support to secure a Sutler County man for
Congress, I am still your Republican co
worker.

It is a pleasure, a real pleasure for a
teacher when at the close of a month ho
has tho names of a large number of visitors
to record, and especially when among
those names we find tbe names of parents
of our pupils. It is not only a pleasure to
record their names but it is an inspiration
to both pupils and teachers to see your
smiling countanance iu our school-room.
I was highly pleased and flattered when
at the close of their month I had the
names of some twenty persons to record
on the visitors list. Many of these being
paronts of my pupils and with but one ex
ception all residents ot our town. The
organ is in our room and already I can
notice the change for the bettor in the way
of harmony and conduct.
The effort to obtain it has left an im
pression on each pupil which I trust will
never die. "Iu Unity is strength" what
ever holds good in regard to a school
holds good in regard to a nation. A lesson
which ! trust will make every boy a bet
citizen and every girl a better woman.
Parents help! Your interests and ours
are in common. Help all teachers in mak
ing good, pure, honest, noble men and
women. You who have made a start do
not let it be your last visit but call again
and bring others with you. Your sympa
thy and interest is worth more, a great
deal more than your sileuce and apear
ing acquiesence.
Very respectfully submitted.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
j The arrest of a pair *>f prominent eloper*
I ° sensation ia Altoona la=t Satur-
I i*y. About three months ago David B.
Beiderman, a well known resident of Al
toona, and Mrs. Maude Jacobs, a married
woman from Tyrone, eloped. Mr. Beider
man left a wife and family unprovided for,
and Mrs. Jacobs, once a society belle, left
her husband, William, with a large family
to care for. A warrent was sworn ont for
the arrest of the erring couple on October
8 on a serious charge, and the officers have
been on their traii ever since, but failed to
locate them until lately when they
were found and arrested at a hotel in Mc-
Keosport. They were registered as hus
band and wife under the assumed name of
Mr. and Mrs. David B. Plummer. The
pair were taken to Altoona and immediate
ly sent to jail to a*-ait a hearing. Both
the man and his alleged wife had a large
circle of acquaintances all through that
part of teh state, and when their
misdoings became generally known, great
surprise and utter astonishment were
manifested. Mrs. Jacobs is a brunette,
with a graceful figure, and decidedly
beautiful. She is not more than 32 years
of age, and only a few years ago bad more
suitors than most girls in Blair county.
The escapade i? generally dep'ored, and
the outcome is awaited with interest by
friends of both families.
Lackawanna county can disputo the palm
with Allegheny county for unpunished
homicides. I u sixteen years the records
of Lackawanna show the commission of
4<> murders, and but three men convicted
of murder in the first degree.
Among the most notable featfc attributed
to Schlatter, the "divine healer," who has
been coopering up invalids in Colorado by
the wholesale and setting helpless people
on end, is the following: Miss Fausnatt
of Denver, got him to bless a handkerchief
This she sent to X. W. Baker, of Lewis
burg, Pa , who had been suffering acutely
from rheumatism for years. He placed the
blessed "wipe" over the affected parts, and
as a result he discarded his crutches with
in 24 hours and was able to walk without
pain or trouble. Here's a valuable pointer
tor dealers who are displaying such lashins
of handkerchiefs iu their windows. Just
get Schlatter to bless the nose goods at
wholesale rates. It would then require
the police force aud all the hose of the fire
department to keep the customers in line.
A Pittsburg woman recently traded her
husband to another temalo tor 590 and
some jewelry. If this nort of business be
comes general thero will be, in commer
cial phrase, an active movement in hus
bands. There's plenty of them who in a
lair deal would change hands at a lower
figure than above qnoted, leaving out the
jewelry.
A wave of morality and agitation for
better municipal government is sweeping
over Steubenville. The Ministerial Asso
ciation and tho better class of citizens
are demanding that laws in regard to the
liquor traffic and disorderly houses be
enforced. They also ask Council for a 10
o'clock saloon ordinance, ' which matter
comes up before that body Tuesday even
ing. The suppression of several variety
shows is also aimed at by an ordinanco
before council, which places the licenses
so high that they will be forced out of
existence.
Tbe revelations as to moral rottenness
in certain portions of the city brought out
in tho Hose murder trial shocked tho
entire city.
A number ol Warren girls inaugurated
lei»p year in slashing style. Tbey arrayed
themselves in men't: clothes, donned white
cap disguises, visited a house where a
young man was calling on a young lady,
took ho fellow out, rolled him in the
snow and scared him half to death.
SAXONBURG SAYINGS.
As the timo to nominate a borough
iicket draws near it behooves the Re

Jons D. MARTIS.
The funeral of John D. Martin who was
killed on the P. <s.- W. R. R. on Wednes
day week, occured at Clinton C. P. church
on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The
services were conducted by tho pastor,
Rew. W J. Cooper assmted by Rev. Mc-
Calmot of Glade Run. There was a large
attendance, and the services were very
impressive.
The remaining relatives ol Mr. Martin
are two sifters, Mrs. Rev. Newton Donald
son of Huntingdon, W. Ta and Mrs. T.
A. Hay of Clinton twp.
He was a profound Christian and an
earnest worker in the church, a true friend
to all who knew him, and his life was a
model of Christian resignation, supported
by an ambition to become
A lamp of God's salvation,
Whose rays were won't to shine,
On those with whom he lingered
To teach of love divine.
But, the silver cord was loosened
That he might rest above,
And the golden bowl was broken
To seal his works of love
