Americans In educational GXttttcm tb# ambition for intellectual improvement witnessed in the develop mexil of TFEA sanunei school. These novel ADDITIONS to the edu«aatiot»l facilities of country are « modern growth and JVATE WCJDLY Increased ia number during TH» P«T baM «k«en years. The first dis tinctively summer School is credited to Professor Lonis Agacsjz, who in or '6B, established an institution on Penikfse Island, In Buzzards Bay, foe teaching nat -01 al history. A bulletin recently issued by the Regents of New York State gives a list of 180 summer schools, of which <69 are M this «moiry. The summer school, however, as at prtaent orgasked bcgi*s with the Chau (Boqtca Assembly, which was established la IBr> for Bibla teaching o«ly, but which has extended its original scope •ad now includes a wide range of secular fust.ruction. The Chautauqua idea pre yails ia fcearly all, m the principal sub. Jcct of stu4y is the Bibk. In nearly tnry State where there /» schools of Chts kiiarl they are modeleil after the fam ous one ou Chauta*qna lake. At least tttj of tbe* are now in existence. Other religious 4eao«irt#atlons have followed the exajgple, and one of the most nwta bie of tboae recently established is that Ot tlaj Cathalic church, which I* located At Flattsbwrgon Lake Cliamplain. [p forefgn lands the plan of the sum net school was adopted in England Oxford in i&W and by Cambridge iu 1890. There are likewise similar schools at Calit in Frau«e, Upsala in Sweden, |eaa in Germany, Grindewald in Switzcr and, Bardeuig in Turkey and Poshisha la Ja]tan. All of tham are dcslgned to give oppostunititif for summer study un flar compoteut teachers for those who haVe time for it otity during the 1 summer kali'lays. Tie spiritualistic gatherings held at L ily Dbla every yt«ar art hardly to be enumerated atmmg the distinctly smn- MW schools, although the attempt is made to teach the Spiritualistic philoso phy through famous mediums by means of lectures and so-called phenomena of the unseen world. Several States have established branches of the Chautauqua Assembly, which ar» conducted on the (tame general plan. That of Pennsylva nia is one of the most successful of the lot. They all recognize the great assem bly on Lake Chantauqija is their parent stem, and most of them have adopted the term Chautauqua as descriptive of their ends and aims.—Derrick. Political Notes.

This liberates ogygen to generate ozone, which is sure death to bacilli. 'I he new form of treatment is at least interesting and not likely to do any harm. Indiana Clinches It. Indiana repeats anil emphasizes the action of almost all the great Republican States. It did not need this latest tri umph to make Governor McKinley's nomination certain. That result was al ready assured. But the earnest and im pressive endorsement of Indiana confirms the determination and makes assurance doubly sure. It puts the success of Gov ernor McKinley beyond any contingency and furnishes a striking demonstration of the strength and sweep of the popular sentiment for the great protection chief tain. The sinister scheme to use the great name and position of General Harrison as a last support in breasting the McKin ley wave signally failed. It did not have his countenance or the approval of any of his true friends. Had General Harri son consented three months to be a can didate or had he even remained rilent and passive, there would have been a powerful sentiment for his nomination. The profound respect everywhere felt for his splendid statesmanship and lofty character, the constautly growing appre ciation of his strong and successful Ad ministration, the universal sense of safety with his steady and experienced hand at the helm, all this would have made him a great factor in the contest. But he de liberately withdrew because he did not wish to be a candidate, and every Ameri can knew that he meant what he said The attempt of baffled managers, who sought to destroy Harrison in 1892 and who are still implacably hostile to his whole high conception of politics, to use him to beat McKinley as they attempted to use Blaine to lieat Harrison four years ago, was as unfair to him as it was con temptuous of the people. General Harri son refused to be a party to any such game. Had he said the word Indiana would doubtless have declared for him or held herself in readiness to act for him in the Convention. But he stood stead fast to his written word. When he with drew the Republicans of Indiana caught ' the infectious enthusiasm for McKinley which spread all over the country. Now here has it received stronger expression. The Indiana deliverance for McKinley is in some respects the most glowing and fervid which any State has put forth. It embodies a succinct and impassioned statement of the salient points in his career and candidacy which appeal to the reason and imagination of patriotic Americans and presents a compact and cogent argument for the camgaign. The whole platform is al>ove the general level in conception and construction. It is especially gratifying to find the Republi cans of Indiana making such an earnest and unmistakable declaration for sound money. Last week's work settled McKinley's nomination. This week's work clinches it. Illinois and Vermont made the for mer memorable in the contest, and now Indiana. Michigan and California cro vn and complete their verdict. With these declarations McKinley has the whole Hue of Northern States from the Atlantic to the Pacific, except parts of New England, New York Pennsylvania, lowa, and oty; or two minor silver States. These localities are divided between four candidates, and in all of them McKinley is the second choice. In other words, he is stronger even here than a&g other one man. In addition he leads among the Southern delegates. Already he has a majority in the Convention. It is idle to 1 make any further resistance to his nom ination. The popular will has been de monstrated in the most unmistakable manner, and the only thing that remains fiir prudent party managers is to accept it in the most graceful way.—Press. Spain in a Tumult. The capture of the steamer Competitor bearing arms and men from this country to Cnba for the Insurgents; the court martial and condemnation to death of the prisoners, and the protest of our Government against the summary exe cution of the prisoners created a great sensation in Spain. The Spanish minister at Washington telegraphed to Madrid that the American government had expressed its satisfaction at the order of the Madrid cabinet stop ping the executions in the Competitor affair. Stocks are lower in Madrid, owing to tbe development in the Cuban situation. ■ There is no public alarm, but a silent re sentment against the Un'ted States in creases, and may explode on any cause when least expected. The people are persuaded that the present protest en courages the rebels and destroys tli»* moral effect of the recent Spanish vic tories and of military advantages so dear ly bought. News of the Laurada affair, increased the indignation. The "Correspondencia t Militar,'* tbe most influential military pa par in Spqin, says: "Against tlie fact that the prisoners were caught red-handed,all the diplomacy of the United States mpst fail. The Com petitor filibusters will receive their due after their new trial. If the United States insist upon protesting against the result, then it will mean that they wish war, and we shall have it." Clandestine proclamations are licing circulated in Madrid inviting the Re publicans to rise in revolution, but the police promptly destroy them, and they are causing little effect. The "Iniparcial" receives from the provinces many telegrams from Spaniards eulogizing a strongly worded article and declaring that no more claims from the United States can be admitted so long as the Americans, in violation of interna tional law, support and supply the relnrls with arms, money and men. Regarding the j»osition of General Wcyk-r, it is generally considered that the matter is not settled,but only licld in aljeyance pending the action of the supreme court and the government, and that if the prisoners are not shot Weyler will resign. At the meeting of the Liberal senators anil deputies Tuesday ex-Premier Sa gasta said: "I will not speak at presene on what has happened in the American chamber*. Although I deeply lament the barbarous manner in which they have acted with regard to Spain, 1 hope the president wil j proceed as the la-ad of a civilized nation should. It is possible that one nation might interfere to end a fight between two independent nations, but in the case of a rebellion 110 country can interfere, unless tlie rebels have established fixed governments, courts of justice ard ac quired territories. In Cuba the rebels are doing nothing but flee, murder and bnrn, and the I'nited States has no right to declare them lielltgcrents. "I hope President Cleveland, following the prudent conduct he has observed on other occasions, will make the rebels un dertand that they must not expect rec ognition of belligerency." King Mknki»HK, of Abyssinia, cuts off th - of his prisoners, but he has issu ed orders to his forces to do no harm to newspaper correspondents. He says: "They are writers, and writing isdivine." He doesn't seem to lie altogether uncivil ized after all, The Presidency. Indiana, Michigan and California went ' for McKinley last week and his nomina ' tion on first ballat is now assured.

During one of the extreme hot days of last week when the tliernometer was fair ly boiling over, a certain well known farmer of Highland township, w as engag ed in plowing. In the hope of cooling himself off as much as possible under the circumstances he not only removed his coat and vest but his pantaloons also. The field in which he was plowing being somewhat remote from any public high way, he was thus enabled to obtain some comfort, although it must be confessed that the appearance he presented would not have afforded a very pretty picture for a fashionable merchant tailors adver tisement. After going a few rounds of the field he began to 'hanker' for a chew of tobacco and remembered he had left his plug with numerous articles in his breeches pockets, whereupon he immedi ately wended his was to the fence corner where his discarded 'panties' were left. When he was about to pick them up he noticed his pen knife lying 011 the ground near by and soon afterward received su. - prise No. 2 in discovering that his pocket lxK>k which with a considerable supi of |money was missing. He immediately suspected the thief to be p young man who had been loitering around in the neighborhood that morning while on Iris way to take the noon train at Clarion Junction. He accordingly secured the services of Constable Dolby and they pro ceeded to the Jnnction where they found the chap suspected and searched him bnt without finding any trace of the missing money. They then returned home and sometime later succeeded in tracing the the theft to a small l>oy in the vicinity who having found a pair of pants without any apparent owner or occupant helped himself to as much of the contents of the pockets as he earen for. The boy turned over the money to the rightful owner and the good housewives about Helen furnace are now making pockets for their husbands drawers as a precautionary measure and all is as merry as republican nominating convention.—Clarion Demo crat. A Snake Story. Daniel Frailey of Eldertown, Arm strong Co., met with an experience a few days ago that he will remember for many a day. While walking along the road near the old Dixon hotel he saw a large blacksnake coiled up near the fence with its head sticking up a foot or so in the air. He struck the snake with his cane, breaking its neck, but 110 soon er had he done so than four other black snakes came through the fence, and in their fury at the killing of their compan ion, set upon him, one coiling around his leg. This one he succeeded in tramping off and killing, while he kept the other snakes off with his cane. As he is an old man and in feeble health, he soon became exhausted, and clutch ing the fence, made his way to the hotel barn, where it was some time be fore he could explain to those present what had happened, he remaining speechless for quite a while at the same time the prespiratiou streaming from him saturated liis clothing and tritkled to the barn - floor. When he recovered enough to explain what had happened, a party started for the scene of the battle and discovered the two dead snakes, one five feet long and the other five feet ten inches in length. The three remaining snakes had retreated to some rocks near by. A GREAT crowd stood on Passyunk Ave., Philadelphia outside of Moyamens iny prison, last Thursday morning wait ing for the announcement that Holmes bad been hung. Holmes or Mudgett on the scaffold denied killing Piet/el, but admitted killing two women.

W.R O'BRIEN ON 107 East Jefferson St. Around the World. In General Grant's lifetime it was con sidered a great feat to go around the world in So days. About five years » o 'o the New York World's correspondent, Nellie Bly, made the trip in 72 days, traveling by the ordinary routes. Now another step has been made in annihilat ing time and space, and the lightning tourist can circle the globe in 65 days, and he is not considered to be doing any thing extraordinary. Cut there is soon to be another great slice cut off from the time. The Transsifceriau railway is !>eing rapidly completed. It will be borne in mind that the nearer the pole we go the smaller around its circumference the earth becomes. The Tr.itissiberiaa rail way will be the most northerly one run ning east and west on the globe. If the traveler, therefore wishes tc go around the world at lightning speed after this great road is finished he will have only to start from Paris by rail and be whirled to Moscow. This will take him some four days. At Moscow he takes a train Eastward through European Russiafl thence on through Siberia till he is set down at the port of Vladivostok, on the Pacific. This will occupy perhaps 20 days, for the route is long. From \ ladi vostok he takes steamer for Yokoliotna, and there another steamer to America, lie crosses America on the Canadian Pa cific and is home again in Paris less than a month and a half from the time he started. The calculation has bsen made that when the Transsiberian rail way is entirely finished the whole glolte trip can be made in less than 45 (lavs. What enjoyment there could be in such whirlwind travel as that, however, is another question. Among the slower, most enjoyable jonrneys around the world are those planned out for excur sion parties and in charge of a conduc tor. The price of these has been brought down amazingly low, some of them cost ing no more than S6OO. Wonderful Fecundity. Some weeks ago the wife of Oscar Lyons living near May field.
