nominating two candidates for Congress
at-large; 32 Presidential Klectors; and
selecting eight delegates to the Republi
can National Convention to be held at
St. Louis, June 16th.
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.

Be patient with the little ones, they
are like tender plants; a harsh word or
cruel blow leaves its imprest, while a
whipping has ruined for life * an y a
bright but nervous child. 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.

IS JTSMOKIAM.
At a special meeting of the School Board
o! Scott township, Allegheny county. Fa.,
held on this 21st day of January, 1896, the
following was unanimously adopted.
Whereas, God is his infinite wisdom aid
allwise providence has seen fit to call from
our midst our dear friend and Principal,
Prof. Samuel B. Mifflin, we feel a sorrow
in our loss that cannot be luliy expressed
in words.
We deeply leel tbe loss of a faithful
friend, always cheerful and and
while wo will ioiss his genial presence and
wise counsel, we know the darkest shadow
baa fallen upon tha hearts and home of
tho bereaved latuiiy, where his life was
