The Washington Monument. The unveiling by President McKinley of the magnificent equestrian statue of George Washington, will be one of the most imposing occasions of recent j years held in Philadelphia, and it is | probable that vast throngs will be at traded to that city by the gorgeous military and bicycle parades which have been planned to follow the unveil ing. The city will be in gala attire, the ships in the harbor will be dressed for the holiday, and altogether Phila del phia will show a most attractive ap pearance. Besides President McKinley and his Cabinet, many foreign repre sentatives will attend, as will also the Governors of New Jersey. Delaware Maryland. The Governor of Pennsyl vania will head the division of the National Guards of the Commonwealth The splendid monument stands at the Green street entrance to Fainnount Park. From an oblong platform six feet six inches hi<*h of Swedish granite cud reached on four sides by thirteen gters, symbolical of the tbifteen original States, rises a pedestal bearing an equestrian statue in bronze of General Washington. The father of his coun ry is represented in the colonial nm onn of the American army, a large military cloak being thrown artistical ly around his commanding figure While dignified, the whole conception is full of animation. In his left hand Washington holds the reins of his horse one oi the animal's fore feet being rais ed in the ar-r of moving. At the four corners of the platform are fountains, served by allegorical figures of Ameri can indians. representing four rivers— the Delaware. Hudson. Potomac and Mississippi. On the sides each of these fountains is guarded by typical Ameri can animals, eight in all. At the front and back of the pedestal are two alle gorical groups. That on the front represents America, seated and holding in one hand a cornucopia, in the other a trident, and having at her feet chains just cast off. She is in the act of re ceiving fTom her victorious sons the trophies of their conquest. Below this group is an eagle supporting the arms of the United States. The group in the back represents America arousing her sons to a sense of their slavery. Be low are the arms of Pennsylvania. On the side of the pedestal are two bas re liefs one representing the march of the American army, the other a Western bound emigrant train. On one side the pedestal bears the inscriptions "Sic Semper Tyrannis." and "Per Aspera ad Astra," on the other, "Westward the star of Empire Takes Its Way. Surrounding the upper portion of the pedestal is the legend, "Erected by the State Society of the Cincinnati of Pennsylvania," The equistrian statue, the figures and the bas relief, as well as the numerous other ornamentations are of bronze, while the platform and pedestal are of Swedish granite. Pro feasor Rudolph Slemering the artist $250,000. AT the Tennessee Exposition grounds last week an airship ascended,apparent ly without much difficulty and under perfect control of the inventor, sailed a distance of fifteen miles, and came back to within four miles of the starting point, when one of the propeller broke and the daring navigator was forced to descend to the earth, which he did in safety. It is said that the inventor does not claim to have built a j>erfect ship, bnt says he has demonstrated that his vessel can be made to sail tinder ordinary conditions, and that it can be control ed POLITICAL NOTES On Monday postmasters for this conn ty were appointed as follows- Butter cup, Robert Poppleton; Carbon Centre.

With the aid of seventeen Democrats, the Quayites of the House succeeded in passing the Kipper bill on second-read ing, last Thursday. Wednesday even ing Quay wired Durham, Andrews, Key Her and other of his friends in liar risburg to get it through in second reading next day, and they with the chairman of Democratic State com mittee, Garman, worked all night, call ed it up out of order next day, and got it through. Garman was severely criticized by Democratic members of the House for his action. Our mem bers, Moore and Dindinger, voted against it. On Friday Elkin's direct inheritance tax bill was greatly ;imended in the Senate. On Tuesday (lovemor Huntings said he would veto any bill regarding citief, that had l>een formally denounced by the city council. Several bills includ ing an amendment to the game laws passed the Senate finally that day, and the Hamilton ro;ul dill passed the House yesterday. Does Senator Quay Meditate Treachery. "The report has Iwti in the air for some time that Senator Quay's mnch discussed haruiony scheme is not a plan erf harmony at all, bnt is nothing more or less than a surrender of the reform forces in the Bepublican party to Chri= Magee, William Flinn and David Mar tin and a restoration to power of the old Combine in Pittsburg and Pliiladel phia. These rumors have of late as sumed such shape that it is not longer possible to ignore them. There are evidences that such a plan is on foot. We are loth to believe such a report | and will not until the evidence is posi tive. but at this time we feel called up on to enter our formal protest in the name of all the Reform Republicans of the State and especially of this city and to announce that if such a scheme is undertaken it can have but one result— the political downfall of Matthew Stan ley Quay. If Senator Quay fondly im agines that it is possible for him sceret ty to make deals with his enemies and the enemies of the party of reform m this State, he is the more deceived His leadership has been followed, not from any personal liking for himself, but simply because be has put himself squarely on a reform platform anil has so far led the Anti Combine forces. So long as his leadership justifies itself it will be followed by the great mass of Republicans in this State, but if he at tempts to betray the interests of those who at great personal sacrifice ba\e fought for .eform. he will find it impos Bible. The only thing he can do is to take himself into the Combine camp. He cannot lead the Anti Combine for ces there and he might as well under stand that now as at any time. The Inquirer has led the fight tor re form in this State and particularly in this city, and it will continue to do HO regardless of Senator Quay or any one else. If Senator Qo-vy undertakes to fight the victoi ious forces led by the Inquire r, then the worse for Senator Quay. With all his abilities he will find his personal following shrunk to nothing, if he undertakes to betray the reform. The Anti-Combine forces in this State will never permit Mayor Warwick, David Martin. Chris Magee or William Flinn to take any leader ship in their ranks. That battle has been fought and won and there will be no surrender to these bosses who have so long ruled the two great cities of the State. They have now fa'len from power and they will not be restored by the aid of the Anti-Combine forces. We are happy to say that these views meet the .approval of the leaders and the rank and file of the Anti-Combine force in this city. They have made their fight without the aid of Senator Quay and can do so again. We do not wish to speak to harshly on a rumor but the fact is that these rumors are eo persistent and are related with so much detail of incident as to recent move ments that we take this occasion to protest against them and expect to see a quietus put on them immediately. While Senator Quay, with his known tendency to seek harmony, may have listened to the rejected leaders' pleas for restoration we have no real belief that he has agreed to such an outrag eous proposition as is reported If he d »es do so he will commit political sui -cide. This we should greatly regret, but the cause of honest government in city and State is of more importance than any man, and those who have fought so long and conquered under the »■—« Mii,i,ihi f «,UnHHM.r ,arn nut, men. The Inquirer will stand right where it has always stood and it will not budge one inch for Senator Quay or any one else. The cause of reform has won and it will never surrender." The above appeared in the editorial columns of the Philadelphia Inquirer heretofore the leading Quay organ of the State, last Monday, and it created a decided sensation in that city. PERSONS who are opposed to compul sory vacillation of school children are greatly elated over a decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which de clares the law unconstitutional because "it may l>e objected to as a matter of conscience, and to enforce it might therefore interfere with religious liberty." Jefferson College No. 4. I will ask a small space in your val aable paper to report the closing of Jefferson College, The term of seven months which closed on the twenty ninth of April, was taught by Miss Annette McKet of Portersville. The esteem in which she was held as a teacher and the many friends she had among the patrons of the school and in the community was fully attested by the large audience which assembled at the schoolhonse the morning of the 29th, to hear the school render a well prepared program, which consisted of vocal music, recitations, declamations etc. About 10 o'clock on the eventful day. the patrons and friends of the school began to assemble with their liea.'iy ladened baskets of all sorts of g' >d things preparatory to a picnic dinner which was a surprise to a the teacher They were entertaine 1 until noon by a number of class drills, which were especially entertaining. as they gave an idea of the work done d iring the term. They then adjourned an 1 soon wire en joying the gorgeous display of eatables spread before them, and some time was spent in eating, talking, laughing and general social intercourse and reunion; after dinner they were treated to a very spicy and well rendered entertainment. At the close of school the teacher was made the recipient of a beautiful work basket. She was completely surprised but very heartily thanked the scholars for their kindness and the audience for their good attention. After a touching farewell address by the teacher the happy day drew to a close, as they each wended their way home, they sadly bid adieu to the ended school term, for »ome perhaps the last time. A CITIZEN. A Cheerful Invasion, The home of Mr. and Mrs. .Tno Cald well of Jefferson Twp. was invaded on Friday eveniyg April 851, not by burg lars, but by a jolly crowd of their neigh bors and friends who came in stealthily npon them as the worthy couple were sitting by their cozy fireside enjoying their evening papers, little dreaming of the pleasant surprise that was await ing them. Mr. Caldwell was summon ed to the door by the ringing of the door bell and great was his surprise when he saw the host of friends who had assembled in) hi* lawn awaiting ad mission. Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell (notwittistand ing their surprise) greeted their friends j in their usual cordial manner and al though there were alxmt seventy in number, in a short time everybody was seated comfortably and enjoying them selves. After sometime the women took pos session of the kitchen and th> good things were transferred from thei«' lias J kets to the tables until they fai ly j groaned with their burden. Everybody I present did ample justice to their sup I per and still the supply was not exhaust ! <-d which speaks well for the generosity ! of the jieople of Jefferson twp.

ONE PnaijjiNT. 1 A Telephone Decision. The Berliner patent decision handed down by the Supreme court at Washing ton Monday may practically wipe out local telephones in the Lnited States, unless some one makes an invention which will not be an infringement on the Berliner transmitter. The Bell people declare it will dispose of their rivals. Supt. Campbell of the Home Telephone Co.. of Pittsburgh de clares it will not. that the expired Bell patents are good enough. It is not such cheerful information to rival concerns, however, as it involves almost $3,000,000 in the Pittsburg dis trict, including the western tier of conn ties and two in Ohio and West \ irginia. all covered by the Pittsburg branch of the Bell Telephone Company. Mr James Stoakes. secretary of the Central District Company, was asked what the coi poration would do to stop competitors from doing busidess. He said no plans had lieen made, but the company would undoubtedly clean out all rival concerns in their district and institute suits for damages. The extent of competition with the Bell Company is greater than is luiagin ed at tiist sight. Mr Stoakes thought that councils had passed ordinances in almost eveiy town where their company was operating or a move had been made by local capitalists to get fran chises for independent lines. The Bell people say all this must end. They claim it is absolutely impossible to op erate a modem telephone without the induction coil and magneto electric transmitter, covered by the Berliner patents. The following towns have systems all of which, it is claimed, will have to be destroyed, as nothing less will satisfy the Bell Company Johnstown, about 400 phones; Latrobe, 100; Greensburg, 250 Kittanning, 100; Blairsville, 100; Indiana 100; Butler. 300; Greenville, 100- Sharon, 150; Sharpsville, 100; Mer cer. 100; New Castle. 350: McKeesport, 500; Carnegie, 70, and in several towns plants are being erected. SOME one has figured out that the Senate of the United States, consisting now of eighty-eight members, has 430 employees, or five assistants to each senator. With such an array of help the Senate ought to pass a tariff bill in less than three months. Japan keeps about $2-">,OOO,<HX) of gold on deposit in London all the time, but that is only half as much as she had there a year ago. She is spending her money for ships, machinery and other supplies, which she needs in the dev elop meut of her great industrial enter prises at home. The English papers of Thursday,com mented very bitterly on the rejection of the Arbitration treaty by the U. S. Sen ate. The Pall Mall Gazette, said: "In its amended foiin the treaty was not worth preserving, but the pi.nciple, like the soul of John Brown.goesmarch ing on. President McKinley backs it. and his advocacy is worth having. GKEECK has bowed to the inevitable, and the powers are now straightening out matters. Wedding Concerning the wedding of J. W. Watson, son of Wlll. Watson of Mt. Chestnut, the Seattle Daily Times of May Ist says: A very pretty wedding occured on Monday evening April 26, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Blowers, 011 \ es ler Way nea'- Lake Washington, it be ijnf the" marriage of their daughter Ada a most impressive manner by the Rev. W. H. Selleck of the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, in the presence of the parents and sister of the bride. The bride looked charming in a beauti ful and elegant gown of heliotrope silk trimmed with lace and carried a bou quet of bridal roses. After receiving the congratulations of all present the bridal couple led the way to the dining room where a delightful wedding sup per was served, immediately following which thev departed on the steamer Kingston for Victoria and various points down the Sound. Quite a large number of beautiful and appropriate wedding presents were received, several coming from friends in the east. Mr. Watson is well and favorably known here, holding an important position with a prominent mercantile firm of the city, while his fair bride is one of Seattle's most gifted and accomplished musicians. After returning to the city they will be at home at 55204 Yesler Way Pittsburg Timeslets. There is more trouble for Quay since Wanamaker is a candidate for modern tor of the General Assembly. We suppose the Sultan thinks he is very generous in allowing the Greeks to keep the clothes on their backs. Greece might as well place herself in the hands of a receiver as to accept such terms as have been proposed. They have found a bird that was a passenger on the air ship up in Mercer county. How can we longer doubt? There are few "reformers" who can see how it is possible for a man who has a chance to steal to refr.iin from it FAIR VIEW. J. D.

About eighty persons assembled to gether at the house of Charles Swartz lander, in Fairview twp., al>ont two Utiles northwest of Millerstown, this county on the »"> just for the purpose of celebrating with himself and wife the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding. The aged couple are the parents of Messrs S. M and W. J. Swartzlander, of Butler. They are still enjoying good health, and for their age are well preserved. Addresses congratulatory of the occasion were delivered by Mr. Perrin, of Butler and Rev. (.'. F, AH house, of Baldwin. The couple were the recipients of many handsome gifts. Their children are three sons, the two mentioned above and Harvey, who lives with his parents. There is only one grandchild, this daughter of S. M. Kw'iftzlander.

Fifteen students of Grove City col lege have been expelled because of a celebration Saturday night of the vic | tory won by the college base ball club i over that oi Washington and Jefferson. The enthusiasm was tremendous, and at 11 o'clock Saturday night. 200 stu dents assembled on the campus, and after raising a terrific racket there. mare 1 led through the town blowing tin horns, veiling and making other diabol ical noises. This was not sufficient, however, and the college armory was raided, where 2.'*>o blank cartridges and 50 poands of powder for the artil lery department were stored. Nearly all the explosives were used up by the students and several were badly burn ed with powder. The disorder did not cease until the constable, with a num ber of deputized citizens. appeared on the scene. The students were in too great force to permit of arrests, but were finally dispersed. The faculty took prompt action, and the 15 expul sions followed. The students are in dignant over this, and more trouble is threatened.
