THE STATE CONVENTION.
The Republican State convention met
fn the Harrisburg Opera House, last
Thursday, was in session for several
hours, and the results are an admirable
platform both on protection and
money, the nomination of
Galusha A. Grow and Samuel A. Daven
port for Congressmen at large;
the selection of eight delegates
at large to the National Convention, one
of whom Gov. Hastings is expected to
make the speech nominating Quay for
President at the St. Louis convention, al
io alternates at large, and a list of elec
tors, one of whom is Mr. Abrams of
Butler.
Mr. Quay and his friends had arranged
everything the day and night before.
The convention met at 10 A. M. Mr.
Leach called it to order, H. K.
Boyer was temporary chairman, the com
mittees were appointed, and the conven
tion adjourned for dinner.
After dinner Messers Magre and Flinn
made a fight for their delegates in the
Bth Legislative district of Allegheny Co.,
but were defeated as it was expected they
would be; the report of the Committee
In Permanent Organization named Audi
tor General Mylin for Permanent Chair
man, and he was elected and escorted to
the chair, and, like Boyer made a speech
lauding Quay; and General Bingham read
he platform as adopted by the committee
on Platform.
As General Bingham finished, W. L.
Schaeffer, of Delaware, immediately of
fered the resolution providing for a popu
lar vote on the election of United States
Senators as a minority report of the
Committee on Resolutions.
Mr. SchafTer took the platform on be
half of his resolutions and made a strong
•peecb of ten minutes in which he reiter
ated the arguments presented in com
mittee, but in greater detail. He argued
its adoption as the only available way in
vhich the people of the State could ex
press directly their choice for Senator.
A. J. Colburn, Jr., of Lackawanna,'
spoke against the minority report. He
presented no arguments other than
those offered in the debate in committee,
but confined himself to an elaboration of
the declaration that it was an unwar
rantable interference with the rights and
prerogatives of local Republican and dis
trict organizations.
General Harry Binglitm made a speech
against the report in a similar strain and
then a vote was taken on which the yeas
and nays were called. One of the strik
ing features of this part of the proceeding
*as the number of delegates who dodged
the vote. The result of the roll call was
ayes 72, nays 186.
The Philadelphia delegates voted solid
ly against the resolution, and so did dele
gates from Chester, Dauphin. Lancaster,
Luzerne, Montgomery, Northampton.
Northumberland, Schuylkill and York.
It was at this point that the mast ex
citing events of the (lay transpired.
They began when Congressman John B.
Robinson rose in his place at the head
of the Delaware County delegation an <1
offered the resolution, which had been
defeated in committee, indorsing Hon.
William McKinley, of Ohio, as Pennsyl.
vania's second choice as follows;
"Resolved, in the event of the retire
ment of the Pennsylvania candidate for
President indorsed this day, Hon. Mat
thew Stanley Quay, after all honorable
means have been exhausted to promote
his nomination, the delegates-at-largc
from this State are hereby instructed to
vote for and support the candidacy of
that Napoleon of prosperity, Hon. Wil
liam McKinley, of Ohio."
In an instant a political pandemonium
reigned. Wild cheering on the part of
the McKinley men on the floor and in
the galleries was answered by cries of
"Quay, Quay," and hoots and groans
from the friends of Senator Quay, Con
gressman Robinson remained standing in
his place enjeavoring to lie heard still
further, while the turmoil surged around
him on every side.
It subsided an instant, and then Silas
W. Pettit, of Philadelphia, who sat in the
front row nearest the stage, sprang to
his feet and moved that the resolution be
laid on the table. Just as quickly W. F
Stewart, of Philadelphia, was on his feet
and moved that the motion to lay on the
table be in turn laid on the table.
H. K. Boyer. who had remained on the
stage as a parliamentary expert when
General Mylin became permanent chair
man, was urging the latter that the
Stewart motion was unparliamentary
when the cheers of the McKinley men
and the answering shouts and groan* of
the friends of Senator Quay began again
and drowned everything.
At this point Congressman Robinson
again took the floor and endeavored to
be heard. He was recognized at last on
a point of order. Mr. Robinson's point
of order was made as follows:
"It is a peculiar parliamentary pro
ceeding when the specially selected and
great particular aj*>stle of reform in
Philadelphia ( referring to Mr. Pettit)
comes here ami attempts to shut down
fair di(»ussion——" here Mr. Robinson's
further remarks were drowned in one
great burst of groans, cheers cat calls
•nd cries of "Quay! Quay!"
Every attempt 011 his part to proceed
was drowned by the turmoil until at last
be marched down the aisle with one long
forefinger pointed at the president and
his voice growing with suppressed excite
meut and anger he exclaimed:—
I want you to know, Mr, President,
that I have rights in this convention
which I propose to maintain."
In the midst of the racket and noise ex-
Speaker Boyer in a low tone excitedly
urged Jere B. Rex to begin the roll call.
He began, but between the incessant
pounding of the chairman's gavel, tin.
uproar iu the convention and the yells of
"Quay, Quay," "McKinley, he's the
•tuff," the attempt was vain.
Robinson meantime did not change his
position. His face grew flushed and
when the first lull came in the noise he
again yelled with upraised hand. "I'm
a Republican delegate in a Republican
Convention,"
Then there were more groans and the
tumult began all over again. Finally
there came scattering cries of "Give him
a chance," "Fair play." "Give him a
show.'' The demonstration for the first
and only time riled the serene temper of
the chairman aad he emphatically ex
claimed: "The chair cannot be bull
dozed. Order, order."
At last Robinson was permitted to
speak. He did not again attempt to re
new his point of order, but moved the
indefinite postponement of Mr, Petitt s
motion to lay the McKinley resolution
on the table. Almost before the conven
tion was aware of it Robinson was on
the statre and had l>egan to speak on his
motion to indefinitely postpone. It was
to say the least a clean parliamentary
move and was recognized as such.
Congressman Robinson began by ask
ing the chair to protect him in his rights
as a delegate, and continuing, said that
if any man in the State, and he said it
with "modesty, in the past year had help
ed Quay to the position which he now
held it 'had l)een himself. No man there
fore could question his fairness to-day.
He wanted the gentlemen who had re
ceived such splendid indorsement from
the convention to go to St. Louis with
the hearty support of the State as Penn
sylvania's candidate for the Presidency.
•'I am for his nomination for the Presi
dency," said Mr. Robinson. He then
told how he had written the Delaware
County resolutions indorsing Mr. Quay
and had then passed. Behind it all,
though, there was a disposition to favor
Mr. McKinley. and after all honorable
means had been exhausted to secure Mr.
Quay's nomination, he did not want to
have the vote of Pennsylvania taken
away from the people's second choice.
He called attention to the fact that
Senator Penrose in a newspaper inter
view some months ago had declared that
he was for McKinley. Only a few days
ago out in Crawford County Senator
Andrews had been instructed to sup)K>rt
McKinlev as second choice, and he had
no doubt but that it would give Mr.
Andrews great pleasure to do so to-day.
Cheers and laughter greeted this re
mark. He simply wanted by this resolu
tion to have the wishes of the people of
Pennsylvania respected at St. Louis.
Senator Penrose took the stage to re
ply. He received a remarkably warm re
ception, the galleries cheering him as
the next Governor of Pennsylvania re
peatedly. He made a forcible speech
and it was solely owing to him that the
McKinley tide did not rise higher. He
took up Robinson's statement about his
declaration for McKinley and said that
he had stated that out of half a dozen
candidates then-mentioned, he had said
that McKinley was acceptable to him.
He repeated it now.
He said further that he hoped the re
solutions would be voted down because
it would weaken the splendid compliment
already paid to Senator Quay. He paid
a brilliant tribute to Senator Quay's abil
ities and leadership, and said that he
was not inspired by factional purpose or
hope of personal aggrandizement.
Congressman Robinson tried to inter
rogate Senator Penrose, but he would not
permit it. To prevent parliamentary
complications Mr. Boyer here suggested
that if Messrs. Robinson and Petitit
would withdraw their motions a direct
vote could be taken on the original reso
lution.
"I agree," said Mr. Robinson, turning
to Mr. Pettit, "if the reform apostle from
Philadelphia is willing."
"I am perfectly satisfied," replied Mr.
Pettit, "if the reformed gentleman from
Delaware is."
Mr. Robinson, however, asked to have
an additional teller appointed. He did
not wish, he said, to reflect on the secre
taries, but he thought it best. The re
quest brought forth a full crop of yells
and groans, and Mr. Magee sqrang to the
defense. He exclaimed dramatically
that this was a Republican convention,
and that one of the Republican cardinal
principles is a free ballot and fair count.
Chairman Mylin asked Congressman
Robinson to serve, when he could make
his voice heard above the almost con
tinuous din and clamor. Mr. Robinson
declined to act on the ground that he
was an interested party.
"Are all interested parties dishonest?"
asked Senator Pen.ose sarcastically,
turmug to Mr. Robinson. The latter's
face flushed violently and springing from
his seat he hurried down to where Sena
tor Penrose sat and shaking his fist men
acingly at the Philadelphian, with a
vigorous expletive, exclaimed:—
"I won't allow you or any other mail
to impugn my motives."
In an instant a few delegates, among
them Senator Flinn and A. J. Colburn,
Jr., stepi>ed between the two gentlemen.
Congressman Robinson retreated slowly
to his seat, as the convention again broke
forth into fresh cries for Quay and Mc-
Kinley. W. I. Schaffer took his place
as additional teller on the platform and
the roll was called, each delegate rising
and answering his vote as his name was
called. The vote was 65 to 178.
A summary of the roll call showed
that the delegates from Bradford county
part of Lackawanna, Fulton, Monroe,
Somerset, Sulliv<n and Susquehanna,
dodged the vote.
The delegates from Adams, Bedford,
Berks, Bucks, Columbia, Cameron, Car
bon, Chester, Clearfield (2), Clinton. Co
lumbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Elk, For
est, Franklin, Juniata, First, Second and
Third Districts, Lackawanna, Lebanon,
Luzerne, Mifflin, Montgomery, North
ampton, Northumberland, Perry,Schuyl
kill, Suyder, Tioga and Wyoming voted
against the resolution. The other coun
ties, with here and there a break 011 the
part of one or two delegates, voted for
it.
This ended the fight on the platform,
and at 4:45 it was finally adopted. Can
didates were then elected as follows: —
Congressman at large—Galuslia A.
Grow, of Susquehanna, renominated,
and Satnuei A. Davenport, of Erie.
National delegates at large—James S.
Beacom, Westmorland; Governor D. H,
Hastings, James Elverson, Philadelphia;
Francis J, Torrence, Allegheny; Dr. T.
L. Flood, Meadville; W. W. Griest, Lan
caster; F. H. Barker, Cambria, and
Joseph Hosier, Montgomery.
Alternates at large—Senator A. Arthur
Kennedy, Allegheny; J. B. Raymond,
Altoona; C. W. Miller, Venango; Sena
tor Boies Penrose, Philadelphia; Senator
S. J. McCaxrel, Ilarrisburg; F, E. Hollar,
Cumberland; and Charles 11. Plank,
Berks.
State electors at large —Joseph Whar
ton, Philadelphia; Alexander E. Patton,
Clearfield; Lyman D. Gilbert. Harris
burg, and William Witherow, Allegheny.
The last act of the convention was to
re-elect Senator Quay as State chairman
by acclamation.
Thk Platkokm Committee.
This Committee conristed of one mem
ber from each Senatorial district in the
state, J. F. Whitworth of Kittanning, be
ing the member from this district.
On motion of W. I Schafl'er, of Delaware
County, all of the resolutions were first
i read before action was taken on any.
Senator Penrose objected to this, but fin
ally withdrew his objections, ar_d the read
ing proceeded. Those submitted for con
sideration: Submitting the matter of the
selection of a United States Senator to the
ohoice of the people directly at the polls
at primaries, advocating the more adequato
protection of American shipbuilders; urg
ing the neecessity for State aid in tho Im
provement of the Delaware River; indors
ing William McKinley, of Ohio, as the
second choice of the Pennsylvania State
delegation; requesting the Legislature to
enact legislation in conformity to the bills
known as the reform bills, endorsed by
State Committee; the same resolution,
only as applied to similar bills represented
for the same object by Senator Flinn; the
platti.rm ou which the part}' will go before
the people in November.
By general consent the platform resolu
tions wt-re taken up first by thocommitteu
There was no objection ureed until C. L.
Magee, of Allegheny, rose and stated that
fo far as the general psrty principles en
unciated in the resolutions were concerned
they met his hearty aproval.
The resolution indorsing M S. Quay for
Prenident as Pennsylvania's choice was
not acceptable to him and the people
which he represented, lie would be under
the necessity, he said, ot expressing his
disappioval of them, and closed by stating
that he would oppose it unqualifiedly.
I Robert Browulee, of Lycoming County;
| John Golden and Colonel llenry Hall, of
Allegheny, stated that the view* express
ed by Mr. Magee were endorsed by them.
W.th these exceptions the platform as
presented went through The resolution
concerning the improvement of the Dele
ware River had no opposition.
The resolution submitting the selection
of a United States Senator directly to a
vote of the people was hotly contested.
W. I. Schaffer * was its especial cham
pion. , ,
C. L. Magee objected to the resolution
on the ground that it was an interference
with the rights of the people in the vari
ous Senatorial and legislative districts.
It was an unwarrantable interference with
purely local affairs of the party. He sug
gested that the reS"lution be so moiiliea
that it would not be mandatory, but sug-
Senator Penrose agreed with Mr. Magee
that until Congress passed a geueral law
for submitting the choice of Senators to
the people, there no reason wh}* sue.',
action should be taken. The local organi
zation in the State are sovereign in this
ma*ter, he said, and it would be an experi
ment to attempt to interfere with the per
manent rights of the local organizations to
adopt such a resolution.
Mr. Schaffer took issue with Senator
Penrose. He urged that it was no more
impertinent on the part of the State con
vention (o suggest this than it was for the
convention to recommend legislation for
the next Legislature to act upon. A vote
was taken on a motion to indefinitely
postpone the resolution , an 1 it was carri
ed by the close vote of "22 to -I, as announ
ced by the chair.
C *L Magee immadiately offered the
same resolution in edified to make it sug
gestive instead of mandatory. In advocat
ing the adoption of the amended resolu
tions, Mr. Magee said:—
"I am in favor of this resolution for the
reason that it will giro the people of th s
State an opportunity to say directly who
sl a'l represent them in the I'nited B r ates
Senate. This &tate is represented in she
Senate to-day by a gentleman with whom
I have held intimate personal relations,
and whose friendship I bold as au honor,
but who nevertheless has for years per
sistently misrepresented the people of mis
State on the yital question of a sound cur
rency.
"I refer to J. Donald Cameron (Ap
plause) If Mr. Cameron or any other
man were to go belore the people of this
State upon tbe ba?is of the financial views
t»y Mr. Cameron he would have not
the slightest show ol election."
Senator Penrose in n-ply said that no
matter » hetber tbe resolution was intro
duced for uuncombo or to subserve some
personal interest, he regarded it as an act
in which the party in convention would
violate tiie rights and prerogations of the
party which had fell powe r to act for thorn
sel'es on the subject.
11 was time to come out in open, said
Mr. Schaff. r, in reply. The people hud a
right to say who should he United States
Senator. Now was the time. The issue
is now at baud, and it was lolly to wait
until next Winter, when the Legislature
had assembled aud then have some man
come here to Barrisburg whom the people
did not want aud be elected their repre
sentative in Congress (Applause )
C St'ait Patterson, from a modest rear
seat, stated that he was heartily in iayor
ol a coast itutionul amendment bich
would accomplish tbe result aimed at in
the resointiou. But until Congress acted,
or a constitutional amendment provided
for it, everj legislator had a right to vote
lor whom be pleased lor Unitod States
Senator.
"Haven't the people a right to say who
their representatives shall vote toiT" asked
Mr. Schaffer.
"No," responded Mr. Patterson. "Be
cause their representatives in the Legisla
torb are clothed with discretionary power
as representatives of the people."
Colonel Harry Hall cited tbe precedent
of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A
Douglass, and ttonghl that Pennsylvania
Republicans could not go far astray in
following such an illustrious example.
To this Mr Patterson replied that this
was an argument in favor of his view.
In the case cited the candidates bad ap
pealed to the people there was nothing to
prevent him A vote was then taken on a
motion to indefinitely postpone, aud it
was cairied by a vote of 21i to 19i, the
hail vote being cast by the divided Alleg
heny representatives.
Mr. Schaffer immediately served notice
that he would present a minority report on
the reno.'ntion to the convention.
The resolution indorsing Major KcKinley
a. second choice of the Pennsylvania dele
gation was then taken up. Senator Pen-
Rsse spoke emphatically against it. The
Platform, he said, had given Senator Quay
a handsome send off as Pennsylvania's
favorite son and he was opposed t*> indors
ing another State's son even as second
choice.
It would weaken the indorsement given
to Senator yuay before the people, and he
hoped that no partisan purpose would in
fl ience any body to lend their support to
the resolution. There was practically 110
delate on the question hall a dozen scatter
ing ayes only being lizard in the chamber.
When the proposition to recommend to
the Legislature the passage ol reform bills
submitted by the State Committee in eon
fortuity with Mr. (Quay's ideas came up,
Mr Magee called attention to the incon
sistency of the committee's action in refus
ing to pass the resolution that the people
vote directly on their Senatorial preference,
though it was ready euougb to request the
Legislature to euact legislation w tiich was
entirely outside ol the State Committee's
province. The Flinn hills were indorsed
in a line added to the general reform pi >uk
and the committee adjourned.

For fidelity to th • principles ol Itepu'.i

citizens as a national candidate. The
time has coine wheu the State which has
so long ind faithfully led the Republican
column many justly and properly submit
its own prelerence for the Republican
nomination for the Presidency. In the
presentation of the Hon. Matthew Stanley

recognize one of the foremost leaders —
wise iu counsel, and brilliant aud able in

First of all national issues stands protec
tion, aud first among its advocate* have
been the Republicans of Pennsylvania.
We believe in protection as a right to all
American industries, but as a special favor
to none. It should be neither partial,
sectional nor hypercritical: it should be
as nearly as possible equal and universal.
We are not pledged to any schedules, but
we demand a restoration of the policy of
protection, and we pledge it as soon as the
Republican party shall bs fully restored
to power in the executive and Congression
al departments of the Government, anu it
shall be restored equitably to the tanner
and the amor, to the manufacturer and
artisan.
We demand the restoration of that wise
policy of reciprocity which was framed by
James 0. Blaine and adapted by the wise
and beneficent administration ol President
Hurison to the great benefit of the com
merce of the country aud which has been
abandoned by the present Democratic ad
ministration. We prove the policy of na
tional protection to our i-hipowiiera and
the ship-building interests, by discriminat
ing duties in favor of American shipping,
in order that the American flag be restored
upon the high seas.
The Republican parti has always main
tained the national honor and credit. It
iulorced the resumption of specie payments.
It kept faith as to every debt created for
the preservation of the Union, and has
paid the greater part of it in accordance
with the spirit and the letter of the laws
under which it had been contracted. It
largely reduced thj interest charges upon
the balance of the debt by refunding at
lower rates. It substituted for the fluctu
ating aud inadequately secured notes of
the State 'janks s uniform national currency
of stable value, and of equal purchasing
and debt paying power. Faithful to its re
cord, believing that the people are entitled
to the use of the best money, and anxious
to restore and preserve the iudustrial and
commercial prosperity of the Union, the
Republican parly favors international
bimetallism, an.l until it can be establish
ed upon a secure basis opposes the coinage
of silver, except upon Gcverumcnt account,
and demands the maintenance of the exist
ing gold standard of value.
There should be no statute of limitation

We congratulate the administration of

it reflects tue interest aud views of a great

We reaffirm the declaration contained in
the State platlorra of 1695, looking to need

and the exercise ot the elective franchise.
"We earnestly recommend to tl\e consider

State Convention —McKinley.
As was expected Senator Quay ruled
at the Republican State Convention held
at Harrisburg last week. This was not
only expected but there was a general
disposition to submit to his wishes as he
was in the position of a candidate for
President. But the members of the Con
vention, knowing the sentiment of the
Republicans of the State, had a right to
make known their second choice, in case
Quay could not lie nominated. This
second— in fact first—choice of our
people was so manifestly for McKinley
that a resolution to that effect was offer
ed in the Convention. Senator Quay
and his friends prevented its unanimous
passage, but the sixty five votes it re
ceived were enough to indicate, under
the circumstances, the wishes of the
masses of f the Republicans of Pennsylva
nia. There will be some Pennsylvania
votes for McKinley as first choice, on
first ballot, and we have no doubt all the
delegation from this State will be for
him as soon as it is seen our own "favorite
son" cannot win. The two delegates
from this county to the State Convention
carried out the instructions of our County
Convention in voting for the McKinley
resolution, and their action is approved
and commended by the Republicans of
Butler county.
Political Notes.
Newton Black is the member of the
State Committee for this county.
The N. Y. Mail and Express summary
of the PreMdential contest up to Saturday
last was as follows —"At State and dis
trict conventions held for the week end
ing April 25, 104 delegates were elected,
of whom 56 are fcr McKinley, 18 for
Quay, 9 for Reed and 21 are so far as
known unpledged. The vote as it now
stands on instructions or expressed pre
ference is: McKinley, 394'. Reed, 103;
Morton, 59, Quay, 50; Allison, 35: Brad
ley, 16: unpledged, 50: total, 707. It will
be seen that the Ohioan now has 394 f o
his credit, with 263 as the total strength
of his opponents, a majority of 131 for
McKinley.
"Only 215 of the delegates to St L ouis
remain to be chosen, if the maximum
estimate of the membership of 922 is ac
cepted. McKinley now only lacks 67 of
a majority on the first ballot, and to get
these he may draw from the 50 already
elected but unpledged, as well as from
the 215 yet to be chosen.
"At the rate of progress so far main
tained next week will assure him the
nomination on the first ballot, and leave
him a comfortable margin to make up
for the broken pledges and slighted in
structions upon which the opposition has
counted."
A review and recount of. the vote of
this county was made the other evening
aud a few mistakes were fonnd in the
figures, none of which change results.
In Middlesex twp. Jas. A. McMarlin had
17.8 votes instead of 78 as the tables show,
and in one precinct where Geo. Graham
is given no votes he had 44.
At the Democratic convention in Allen
town, this week, Steve Markham was
named as one of the delegates to the
Chicago convention; Pattison was named
for President as the unanimous choice of
the convention; Cleveland's administra
tion was indorsed, and sound money
favored as follows:
"We are in favor of a firm, unvarying
maintenance of the gold standard. \V hile
we favor the most literal use of silver,
consistent with the enforcement of a gold
standard, we are absolutely opposed to
the free coinage of silver and to the com
pulsory purchase of silver bullion by the
government.
Vermont went for McKinley yesterday;
and the McKinley men are in the lead at
Springfield today.
Butler County Left Out.
At the National Delegate district Con
vention, held at New Castle last week for
this district, Butler County was left out,
not getting one of the four delegates to
the National Convention to nominate our
next Republican Candidate for President.
And all this was done in the face of the
fact that Butler County was this time en
titled to one of the principal delegates-
Four years ago Beaver anil Lawrence
Counties got the two principal delegates,
and this time they belonged to Butler
and Mercer Counties. Mercer got her
right, but to accommodate Senator Quay,
Butler was deprived of hers and Mr.
Quay of Beaver sent. This although an
ontrage on Butler, we with others were
disposed to overlook at present But
now we see it announced that Senator
Quay is not going to the National Con
vention as a delegate from this district,
butwill give his right to one of the alter
nates, which means giving it to Beaver
or Lawrepce County. In all fairness it
should be tfiven to Butler County.

The news of the death sentence passed
on Hammond, au American citizen, as a

Island Items.
March 24tii was indeed a gala day for
Island Independent School. The weather
was all that could be'desired and a large
crowd assembled to do honor to the occa
sion, it being the closing of another suc
cessful term of school. The commodious
school roum had been ro tastefully decora
ted with evergreens and other artistic de
signs that it presented a very inviting ap
peaiance. Mr D. P. Williams and his
pupils di I everything possible to make
iheir guests comfortable.
The forenoon was spent in usual school
work and we think we express the senti
ments of the visitors when we say the
classes all did themselves oredit. It was
remarkable the aptness with which the
advanced classed solved difficult problems;
it proved very clearly the fact that they
had boen und'er oarefnl training during the
term. In justice to him we voice the opin
ion of the citizens of the district when wo
say he is a good instructor in every sense
of the term, a leader in everything that is
elevating and ennobling. But before we
were scarcely aware the h°ur so desirable
and enjoyable, the dinner hour had arrived
The school sung "America" after which
Frand Carrie, one of the pupils, asked the
attention of the audience for a few mo
ments, and in a neat little speech present
ed Mr. Williams with a handsome shaving
ease, a gift from the school. Mr. Williams
was completely surprised but responded in
an impressive manner. Preparations were
then made and dinner served, which was
haartily enjoyed »a all good dinners are,
alter which Mr. Flndley photographed the
school.
The afternoon was spent in listening to
recitations, declamations and essays, in
terspersed with music. Prof. Cheesman
being preterit gave a short speech, ether
addresses by citizens followed, all speaking
in high appreciation of the exoellent ser
vice rendered the school by.Mr. Williams.
He then presented to the board of directors
a handsome 200 pound bell costing $25,
previously put in position on the sohool
building, the same being a gift from teach
er and scholars. Mr. H. Book responded
in behall of tie board of direotors. This
ended the exercises of the day and we
were all invited to return for the evening
entertuinment.
The response was general and a orowded
house wan the result, bat good order and
good felling prevailed. Declamations, re
citations, dialogues, tableaues and essays
were well rendered-some were excellent,
but we refrain from making any distinction
except the !ast declamation by Mr Wil
liams which was the best we have ever
listened to.
This ended the second term of school
successfully taught by Mr. Williams and
as we believe in retaining anything good
and good instructors for our ohlldren are
the best investment tax payers can make,
we say, come again.

Pointing Them Out.
(Harrisburg Telegraph. 1
The man who knows it all was in the
convention last Thursday aud he had a
seat on the stage. The man who knows
it all was accompanied by his cousin from
the country,ami he entertained the cousin
by pointing out the celebrities. When a
little red-faced man wearing a broad
brimmed slouch hat entered the hall the
man pointed him out as Boies Penrose.
"Yes, that's Boies" he said, "and that
big mail with the long hair falling down
over his shoulders, that's Matt Quay. Oh,
I know 'em all. See that little lellow
with the black whiskers? That's Tom
Cooper, and that man with the Burnsi de
whiskers is Harry Bingham. Over there
in the corner with the plaid check suit is
Silas W. Pettit, everybody knows him—
e is president of the Philly base ball
club. That little fellow with the blonde
mustach is Charlie Voorhees—he's a
bird, I tell you. There comes Izzy Dur
ban", that big oue-amied man with his
coat sleeve pinned across his breast—he
lost his arm at Gettysburg. That fat bald
headed man is Christ Magee—Christy is
a daisy,and he runs the machine in Berks
connty. That's his side partner, Billy
Flinn, that man that looks like Christy's
little brother. When them two fellows
get together they make things hum.
There is Frank Willing Leach, that big
mar with the blonde side whiskers—tell
you what, he's a fighter. He got Matt
Quay down in the Lochiel Hotel the
other night and if Jere Rex hadn't pull
ed him off they say that murder would
have been done." And just then the
newspaper men who were trying to write
all fell down in a dead faint.
FOUR of the leaders in the late revolt
against the government of the Boer
Republic in South Africa have been
sentenced to death. One of the con
demned men is an American by birth,
named Hammond. The news of the
condemnation created a sensation in
London, is it upsets Secretary Cham
berlain's diplomacy.
