FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY. JACOR M. PAINTER, of Butler. FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR. FRANK E. McQUTSTION, of Butler Cervera and Augiistl. Admiral Cervera arrived in Madrid last Thursday. The marked coolness of Admiral Cervera and his officers tow ard the Minister of Marine, Senor Aunon. was much commented npon. Senor Annon and his staff, in uniform, met Admiral Cervera and his party, at the railroad depot The Admiral bait ed before the Minister, saluted and said, stiffly. "I am at the order of your excel lency. I shall present myself at the Ministry to-day, as is my dnty." The Admiral then started to leaye, after embracing Captain Eulate, the former commander of the \ iscaya, and his other comrades. The Minister of Marine offered the nse of his carriage to Admiral Cervera, but the latter de clined to accept it, and entered another carriage. In an interview the Admiral said he had a clear conscience regarding Santi ago. Nations, he said, grew great by ' their victories and not by their defeats, however glorions they liMght be. Spain had lived in a dream, and she now had to face reality. The Admiral added that his warships were not de stroyed in battle, but by fire. General Toral, the Spanish command er, who surrendered his forces at Santi ago de Cuba, has also arrived there. He did so without attracting any atten tion. He is now sick in bed. General Augusti, the former Captain Genera] of the Phillippine Islands, who just arrived at Victoria, Spain, from Manila, in an interview is quoted as discussing the Phillippine question in an interesting manner. He is al leged to have said: "Before I left Spain I knew the situa tion in the Phillippine Islands was grave. Senor Moret, the Minister of the Colonies in the last Cabinet of Senor Sagas to. remarked to me that if war with the United States broke out there would be a terrible stateof things." Continuing, General Augusti de scribed' Admiral Montejo's fleet as some "old wooden ships," and said they "came to Manila practically pursued by Dewey." He then said: "Our batteries fired at the Ameri cans, but our guns were mounted on false plates, and after the first shots they became useless. At daybreak we were in the power of the Americans and an hour afterwards the Spanish fleet had ceased to exist. "Dewey summoned me to surrender. I refused and he threatened to raze the town. I replied: " 'Raze it, but so long as I live the Spanish flag will float on the ruins of Manila. "Then began the terrible time of the siege and the anguish of the blockade. Famine stared us in the face. In the meantime, hostilities were conducted ' throughout the provinces, but, save in isolated cases, humanely. Dewey re peated his summons to surrender and I again refused. Dewey then bombarded the town and Manila surrendered. But considering my presence no longer nec essary, I asked the Government for per mission to go home, as my position had become by no means easy. I think I have done my duty as a soldier and a Span iard." The Ministerial newspapers protest against the supposition that the United States will keep the Philippine Islands. They mantain that Spain's rights to these islands are incontestable and that she is "resolved to defend her rights with the greatest energy." POLITICAL. The re-convened Democratic Conven tion of Allegheny county re-nominated John S. Robb for Judge, and objections have again been filed to the nomina tion. At the Republican State Conven tiou at Saratoga, N. Y., Tuesday, "Teddy" Rosevelt had 753 votes for Governor to Gov. Black's 218. Teddy's home is at Oyster Bay, and he led the charge at Santiago. THE first word that has come to Washington from the American mem bers of the peace commission since theii departure, save a brief announcement of arriyal in England, was received at the Navy department, Monday, being a cablegram requesting that Captain Bradford, chief of the equipment bureau, be sent at once to Paris to as sist the commission. The Game Laws. The hunting or game season opens on Saturday. Oct. 15th, this year, and the woods in some parts of the county will be full of hunters that day who will leave their homes the day before. The season is anxiously looked forward to by a number of our "shots," one of whom takes his gun out of its case every day, to ran his eye over the sights. The game laws now read as follows: Quail and patridge. from Oct. 15 to Dec. 15. Pheasants, ruffled grouse and prairie chicken, October 15 to December 15. Wild turkey, October 15 to December 15. "VJoodcock. month of July and Octo ber 15 to December 15. Rail and reed bird. September 1 to November 30. Plover, July 15 to January 1. Geese and ducks, September 1 to May 1 Elk and deer, November 1 to Novem ber 30. Squirrel, October 15 to December 1». Hare and Rabbit, November 1 to De cember 15. Under the laws no more than 10 pheasants, ruffled grouse, two wild tur keys , 10 woodcock or 15 quail may be killed by one person in one day and no more than two deer in any year. Mar ket hunting, bnying, selling and ship ment of game birds and animals are prohibited. The killing of tho birds oth er than game birds is prohibited. De coys may be used in hunting ducks and geese only. All game must be shot with a gun. Dogs must not be used to hunt deer or elk, or to capture or kill them in the waters, streams, ponds or lakes. The use of ferrets for hunting game is prohibited. English and Mon golian pheasants are protect _>d for five years from Jnne 4, 1897. Killing or wounding or catching with trap, net, snare, birdline, poison or drugs is pro hibited. However, English sparrow, kingfisher, bawk, horned owl, barred owl. green heron or night heron are not protected. Fifteen days' time is al lowed after the expiration of the season to dispose of game. The Parker Twp.. School Figlit. r A large number of the people of Par ■ ker twp , assembled in the Court room Tuesday morning to hear the case » against the school l>oard of Parker twp. on whom a rule had been granted to show cause why they should not lie dis missed from office for not furnishing schools for the Bruin school district. The war began with a dispute be tween the attorneys regarding the old and new school laws; and then about fiftv witnesses were called and sworn for the petitioners. L. C. Miller took the stand and said he had lived in Bruin for about 27 years, his children were grown up, excepting two, who were yet of school age, that no schools were now open in Bruin and no preparations were being made for school there; he was one of a committee to wait on the School Board and ask for schools, but received no satisfaction from them; the School Board had as signed three of the township schools Oak Hollow. Stevenson and Shakeley, for the use of the town children: Bruin was not a borough, the committee had demanded the opening of the new school house, no other rooms in the town were fit to hold school in. toree of the rooms in the new building were 1 equipped and would accommodate about fifty scholars each; the building is of . brick, cost about $5,500. and has fonr rooms, the contractors have been paid; the township bonded and bonds sold to Mrs. Brown of Kittanning, etc." Then the attorneys got to jangling as to whether this proceeding was not for the purpose of compelling the new Board to accept the new building and whether it was proper for the commit tee of citizens to accompany the Board in its search for school rooms etc. The petitioners offered to occupy the new building without prejudice to the Direc tors. Lawl Heydrick certified to the cor rectness of a township map giving the , distance from the bridge in the town to certain school houses —ie. Oak Hollow , 620 rods, Shakely 610, Campbell 640 and Stevenson 460.—320 rods make a mile. S. R. Walker one of the directors, and Secretary of the Board, said the Board had tried to rent Lincoln Hall and Kel , ley's hall but had failed, did not try to rent a club room that had been cou deinned for church purposes, reported to Board that he could not secure a room, township schools opened Sept. 0, the Board was advised by counsel not to open new building; had keys for one hour and took them back to Mr. Kelly. Here Col. Thompson for Directors , admitted the necessity for schools in , the town; Messers Bowser and Brandon for petitioners thought the new build [ ing should be opened; and the Court L said he would make an order directing the School Board to supply teachers and rent rooms, and have the schools in operation by Monday Oct., 10; and if 1 they find themselves unable to do so 7 they are to be here on Saturday morn ; ing Oct., Bth and give their reasons. ! otherwise will be dismissed from office. This seems to be a case of tow» ver ' sus township or vice versa. A year or two ago the School Board of that time bought a large lot in a field below the town, and on it proposed erecting a township high school. The project was fought by the fanners at the time and i a bill in equity was filed but not sus tained. The Directors went ahead and built the building, bonded the tuwn , ship to pay for it, and levied a tax to pay the bonds: but this tax levy has I been declared illegal by the court here. An issue was made in the township . and the new Board of Directors is un favorable to the whole proceeding. 1 They considered the old school building (which the old Board sold and which is now being used for a machine shop* good enough and large enough for the Bruin school district, that the new one was a needless extravagance, and now that the tax levy has been declared il legal they think that the old Board ! should pay for the new building, as best they can. The present board will probably have no trouble in securing a room and start ing a school by the time fixed, and the ; tax levy question will probably go to 1 the Supreme Court; and if the Supreme Court sustains the court here, and the bonds are declared illegal and Mrs. Brown loses her money, then —Who will own the property? There is no prettier spot in Western Penn'a for an Academy than that one, 1 and if there is anything in the posses sion of the key then Esq. Kelly is in great luck. The assessed valuation of Parker twp. for this year is $289,000. Judge Greer's decision on the Tax Levy Case is as follows "And now, September 21, 1898, this case came on to be heard upon bill, answer and testimony, and after being fully argued by counsel on both sides, it is hereby ordered, adjudged and de creed that the school directors of Park ; er township school district, their succes sors in office, their agents appointees ' and employes, and all persons acting ■ by, through or under said directors, be 1 and the same are hereby perpetually en joined from the collection of the tax of eight mills, described in the bill, or any part thereof, which was alleged to be assessed upon the taxable inhabitants cf said township, and the said levy of the said tax is hereby declared irregular illegal, null and void, and it is further adjudged and decreed that the schools 1 directors of Parker school district pay ' the costs of the proceeding."

UNDERSTOOD SIGN LANGUAGE. products of Decomposition lit Tain ted Food Which Threaten Hu man LJfe. In these days, when preserved pro visions are being so largely manufac tured to meet tbe equally large de mand for such articles of diet, and when, by the aid of the refrigerator, we are supplied with meat all the way from the antipodes, we find that we have a new danger to face. This is the liability, owing to accident or neglect during the preserving process or dur ing transit, of the food changing for the worse, or, as we say, "going bad. Unfortunately, such tainted food is not readily detected, and the uncon scious consumer is, therefore, open to the risk of being unawares seriously or fatally poisoned. Tainted food contains the products of decomposition which arc technical ly known as ptomaines. Beyond the fact that some of these ptomaines are highly poisonous, very little else is known about them. They are still the subject of investigation, and so far wo are only able to gather that ptomaines are alkaloidal in character, and are the active principles of nnimal tissue In the same way as such alkaloids as quinine and other similar drugs are the active principles of the cinchona and other plants. The symptoms of ptomaine poison ing may be acute, or they may be vague and undefined. When acute, the svmptoms usually set in a few hours after partaking of the tainted food. The patient complains of nausea, or feels faint. Headache usually accom panies the nausea, which terminates In a fit or fits of vomiting. This sick ness is often very violent and uncon trollable. The patient complains of great pain in the abdomen, and noth ing appears to relieve this distressing symptom. Meantime the temperature and' pulse rise, and all the symptoms increase in intensity. Distressing retching takes the place of sickness, and not infrequently the patient's aspect is that of one in great agony. Put every one of these symptoms may differ in quality and intensity in dif ferent cases, so that it is only the ex perienced eye that can. from a survey of the whole symptoms, recognize the case as one of evident ptomaine poi soning. Sometimes this poisoning is slow, the symptoms are not violent; the pa tient complains of lassitude and weak ness. There is also loss of appetite, and in consequence the patient gets rapidly weaker. In a few days a rash may break out over the body. Th,e character of this rash varies, and is usually a source cf much indecision as to the real cause of the illness. Often boils break out on the face and neck, ar.d this in an adult ought to indicate probable poisoning of some sort. Not infrequently ptomaine poisoning from the outset shows no other symptom than that of loss of strength, followed slowly by loss of consciousness, de lirium and death. As a rule, the real cause of such slower cases is not rec ognized. They occur among the poor, and especially among those given to Intemperance and loafing Such indi viduals are not overcareful what they eat to satisfy the craving for hunger, and therefore frequently fall victims to this poison. Very little carc is taken to discover, or, rather to trace, the cause of illness in such people. Tt is not unnaturally put down to the vic tim's bad habits and intemperate liv ing.—Household Words. DO YOU KNOW? Anions tlie Many Tliiiijrw Eiirntlnl to Good House ivlveft Should Know. That a clean apron worn while hang ing the clothes keeps them clean. That a pair of white gloves or mit tens arc a comfort to hands taken from hot suds to haiii* clothes in zero weather; also a close-fitting jacket and hood to keep one from patching cold. That the line, as soon as its duty is ended, should be reeled up and placed in a bag until next time. That clothes when brought in should be separated and folded at once; if al lowed to lie together many wrinkles ac cumulate. That clothes carefully folded and sprinkled are half ironed. That dish towels and common towels can be ironed just as well in half the time, if folded together once as if ironed' singly. That sheets folded across, bringing the wide and narrow hems together, then folded agair. then ironed across both sides, are finished quickly and look as well as if more time was spent on them. That pillow slips should be ironed lengthwise instead of crosswise if one wishes to iron wrinkles out instead of in.—Leisure Hours. i»i:A'i us.

Mc Briae, aged 50 years. Mr. Mcßride was taken down with typhoid while visiting his sister, but as he was a strong and robust man his death was unexpected. He was buried in Harmony cemetery. Grove City. A widow and eight children, six boys and two irirls. are left to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father, one who was always ready with wise conn sel and whose loving care had made their home a haven of love and affec tion. Mr. Mcßride was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, a sincere Chris tian. always gaining the confidence and respect of neighbors and associates. He will be greatly missed by his family, relatives and acquaintances. Robert Mcßride was born in County Antrum, Ireland, Sept. 4. 1848, died Sept. li), IS'JH. When !) months old his parents came to America and settled in Pine township. Mercer Co., where he was reared and educated. He was one of the early students of what is now Grove City College. He was a faithful student and always loyal to his teach ers, and he was always loved by them He afterwards taught school with great success. He kept constantly iu mind that he was training the soul of the child, and how to develop the soul was his constant study all through life He united with the Harmony United Presbyterian church when he was 19 years old. Dr. Kerr was the pastor they were always devoted friends. Iu I.s? 1 he was married to the daughter of John Mcßride, of Butler Co., which proved a happy union. After marriage he moved from Mercer Co., to Franklin twp., Butler Co. On certificate he joined the Muddy Creek Presbyterian church, Rev. Samuel Williams being pastor, who proyed a life long friend. Shortly after this time he was elected elder and was loved by all. In 1897 he lifted his certi ficate from Muddy Creek church and placed it with the Cnionville congrega tion because it seemed more convenient to attend there. His wife and eight children survive. Six sons, two daugh ters. He also leaves an aged mother, two sisters and four brothers to mourn his loss, as he was a kind counsellor to all. It was through a desire to educate his family that he moyed to Grove City last spring. Now we may all say: Our circle is broken, One chair is left vacant. One bud from the tree, it memorv is taken. A Friend. "The Ansnacment of u \ unnt Laif j er Orer the Challrr of Two Ulrl Hate*. "When I learned the deaf-mute sign language, a few years ago,** said a young lawyer recently, "it was for a definite purpose, and since then, inci dentally, it has furnished a good deal of amusement to me. There are not many deaf mutes in his city, and when, in coming down on an elevated train this morning I discovered that the cross seat opposite me was occupied by two young women who were con versing in sign lar.gnage, my interest was at once excited. They were ncat looking girls, and as I settled in my seat I discovered that they were hav ing an animated conversation on a cer tain young man whose merits and de merits they were frankly discussing, never dreaming that anyone else in the car eounld understand them. Sud denly one of them noticed that I was looking intently at them, and with her fingers she said to the other girl: " 'Don't look up just now; but in the seat across from you is a young man on whom you have made an impres sion. He isn't bad looking.' "I glanced idly out of the window to give the girl a chance to inspect me, nnd with difficulty i suppresseAa smile. She looked me over critically, and then with her fingers she said: "'You saw him first. He is yours. I don't 'ike blonds myself.' " 'lt was you at whom he was look ing.' came the reply. "'No; he was looking at you. I don't like his mustache. .Tust look at him now, conceited thing! ne is curling it.' " 'I think his mustache is very nice.' said the first girl. "Don't look in his direction so frequently or he will sus pect us.' " 'lie looks too slow to suspect any thing. Besides, I can see him by look ing' in the mirror, and he doesn't know it. I am going' to size him tip again now.' and' as she turned toward the mirror so did I, and I caught her glance square in the eyes. The young woman flushed a bit and then pretend ed to be looking out of the window. The girl who admitted that I was not bad to look at nudged> her friend and with her nimble fingers said: " 'His clothes fit him xvell, don't they? Wouldn't he be angry if he knew that we were talking 1 about him. I think that he is nice.' "It was with difficulty that I could prevent myself from acknowledging this compliment in sign language, but I didn't want to spoil the fun. The second girl looked at me again by way of the mirror and then said: " 'He is staring at us too much. Let's look at his shoes and embarrass him. He will think that there is something wrong with them.' " 'All right.' said my friend, and- two pairs of eyes were turned on my shoes, which I knew were all right. Being forewarned, I was not embarrassed, and I thrust my feet a little forward 1 so that they might be in full view. " 'lt's no go,' said the second girl, 'and in a long experience it is the first time that I ever failed at this trick. He does not even look down at his shoes. I will bet that he is awfully conceited.' "They kept up a very free discussion of my appearance, and when we reached City IIa!l station I arose to go out and they followed right behind. The car had been well filled and the girls were in a hurry. I stepped to one side and in sign language said to the one right behind me: " 'Excuse me, lam sorry to be in your way.' "That girl rend my hands in amaze ment, and I would not have missed the expression of her face as her «yes met mine for anything. It was a blush to remember. Without explaining to the other girl, who was behind her, she grabbed her arm ar.d hustled her about face and' out of the other door. As I reached the platform I saw the girl wliom I addressed explaining it to the other girl, whose face indicated that she was struggling between mor tification and mirth. Just as they turned toward the bridge both of them looked back at :ne. I smiled and raised my hat. They laughed and on they went. It was a pleasant little enter tainment for a down-town trip."—X. Y. Sun. Man I font Duties. The fault-fir ding disposition is at the root of the fault-finding habit of speech.
