Tho Summer School.
A remarkable illnstration of the gener
ic tnter«6t o! 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.

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,

A Narrow Escape.
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

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

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
