Washington Notes. The Senate passed the bill granting the widow of the late Secretary of State Gresham a pension of $ too a month. Congressman Phillips presented the petition of the \V". C, T. U., of Centre ville for the passage of a Sunday rest bill for the Distnct of Columbia, The Republican chaff was sorted from the wheat Tuesday, whan Senators Car ter and Mantle, of Montana: Dußois, of Idaho; Teller of Colorado, and Cannon, of I'tah, voted again with the solid Dem ocratic and Populist strength of the Sen ate against taking up the tariff bill. The four "jack rabbit" Republicans who had voted against taking up thc.bill on 13, gained a recruit to-day in one of the new Senators from I'tah, and the motion to proceed to the consideration of the House measure, which was made by the venerable chairman of the Finance com mittee, Mr. Morill, of Vermont, was de feated by a vote of 33 to 22. To the credit of the other silver Republican Senators, it must be said that they stood by their party, all of them either voting to take up the bill, or being paired to that effect. Had the five Republicans voted with their party the motion to con sider would still have been defeated, but only by one vote, which is exactly the majority the Democrats and Populists have when voting solidly together. But this is no excuse for their coarse and es pecially does it not excuse Senator Carter, of Montana, chairman of the Republican National committee. His position inten sifies his party treachery. For Pure Soft Drmk. Secretary Fdge, of the department of agriculture, has announced that the term "food" as is expressed in the pure food law, includes all articles used for soft drinks as well. He says he will give spe cial attention to the adulteration of soda water, milk, mineral water and other drinks of like character. He urges that druggists and others in ordering their supply of syrups and other ingredients for next season's trade to to take pains to see that they secure only syrups which are perfectly pure and wholesome, a«; they will be held to a strict conformity of the law by the de partment. Two agents of the depart ment are now at work in Philadelphia looking after adulteration of food pro ducts of various kinds. They have col lected a large number of samples which have been turned over to a chemist for analysis. Wouldn't it be funny if both the Re publican and Democratic nominees for President should be from Pennsylvania? Abraham Lincoln prided himself cn the fact that he had 110 policy. "I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day," he said, " as each day come." Mulatto women are donning male uni forms i.l Cuba and entering the army. In other words, the cuban women are throw ing themselves into tbe breeches. Concerning that comet which is mov ing toward us at the rate of 1,600,000 miles a day, the probability of its hitting as may be inferred from the estimate that comets strike the earth altout once in every 15,000,000 years, but we are a Jittle at a loss as to when the last oue did. There's sad truth, not to the credit of human nature, in the remark of an un known exchange that men are like hogs in many respects. When a hog (jets an ear of corn, every other lioj; will trot along behind him and squeal and tvhiue and be;; and toady for a bite, but let the front hog get in a tight place with his head fast in a crack, and every sou of a sow will jump 011 him and tear him to pieces. Just so with men. As long as a man is prosperous aud has money, lie ca.i't keep friends off with a base-ball bat. The moment he is unfortunate lie is snubbed. When he goes up-grade, the world falls in behind and pushes. When he starts down grade, the world steps to one side and greases the track. That Fall of Dirty Snow. The more we see ami hear of it, the more wonderful seems the mystery of the discolored snow which fell on Tues day night, nth inst. The next day nearly everybody noticed a dirt, yellow ish cast on the half inch of snow that had fallen during the night; contrasting strongly with the whiteness of the for mer snowfall that lay beneath. It was thought at the time that the discolorat ion was the result of local causes; but wit.nn 24 hours it was known that the same phenomenon was observable throughout Franklin county and also Crawford and Mercer counties. Mr R. S, Clarke, ot Franklin c 't>, gathered the snow from an untouched space of a few square feet and melted it. The residuum, when dried, was atwut a taUlespoonful of a cinnamon brown or chocolate colored powder It is exceed ingly fine- finer, in fact, than any onh \ nary earth dust. When inspected through a magnifier it is metallic an.. cont -ins farbon. Mr Clarke enlisted other mathemati cal talent, and on a careful calculation based on the yield of a certain number of square feet in this city, it was found that in the counties of Venango and ( - raw " ford alone there fell the enormous total of so,ooo tons of this powder. Where did this wondrous precipitation come from? That question is now engag ing the attention of scientists A nu li ber of specimens have been sent to the Smithsonian Institution for analysis. A. Greenville a ball of snow the aze of a man s head yielded an ounce of the fine heavy powder. Mixed with water it makes a dark, inky fluid. Mr. Clarke, suggests the most tenable theory we have heard. On the day be fore this powder fell an enormous meteor burst over Madrid, Spain, at a height of 20 miles, with such force as to break windows and shake down walls. The dust of this metear, tome on upper cur rents, was caught and precipitated here. —Franklin News.

Harshness De gets rebellion and antagonism. Only by untiring patience and unvarying gentle ness can the most and best be brought out of a child, and, in all discipline the end sought should be the highest deve lopment. The marble worker brings hammer and chisel to his hard and unre sponsive work, but ?he who has for her task the development of a thinking soul should bring only sweet and gentle in fluences, lest it be marred in its unfold ing. The Brice Road. The New Castl6 Couraut of last week contained the following: Considerable conjecture has been caused among local railroad men by the opera tions of an engineering corps which has been operating near New Castle Junction and this city for a veek past. Last 1 ues day the corps appeared at the Junction and began to run a line up the Shenango toward New Castle keeping between the Lake Erie track and the river as far north as the "fan-tail." At this point the line crosses tbe tracks of lbs Pittsburg 4 Western and shoots off to the northeast. From this point the track- keep right on toward Butler. The members of tbe corp are very reticent as to their actions, but. oue of them is known to have remarked that the lino would run through Butler. From where the stakes start from the Pittsburg & Western tracks at New Castle Junction to the point from which it epproaches these tracks there is a break, and it can not be told from what direction the line is to approach the JuLction. A little con sideralioa will show that the Brice people are the only ones who could be putting this line through The line of tue trice railroad, or Pittsburg Akroui Western, as it is known, extends from Youngstown to this city by the Hickory Creek route, coming out rear the Lawrence Junction. It is reasonable to suppose that the line would extend across the river by the Junction, and would strike tbe Pittsburg tfc Western tracks at about the place where tbe stakes start irora the PitUbur* Western trucks. There cau bo little doubt that tbe Brice line will extend from this city to Butler, thence south to 1 ltts line nacses cltXiatl—to Bri ton. Institute at Renfrew. The institute held at Renfrew Feb 15 was called to order at 10:30 by D. N. Bul fonl. After singing America, Rev. Price led in prayer. The address of welcome was given by Rev.
