THE CITIZEN. WILLIAM C. NEGLEY -- Publisher THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15. '?9S Peace Treaty Signed. The American and Spanish commis- ( sioners signed the treaty of peace at ; 8:30 o'clock Saturday night It consists ( of 17 articles, it having been found ad- , visable to subdivide two or three of the , articles agreed upon at the last preced- , ing session. The Americans were at tired in evening dress when they enter ed the chamber of the foreign office, where all the meetings have occurred, as they were to attend a dinner gi% en by the Dnc de Loubat. while the Span iards wore black frock coats Montero Rios, president of the Spanish commis sion, was bundled in a huge overcoat, for he bad just risen from a sick bed. The interpreter. Arthur Ferguson, read first the English and then the Spanish version of the treaty. Two copies were then passed around the table, the com missioners signing them in the onler of their rank: William R. Day, Senator Cushman K. Davis, Senator William P. Frye. Whitelaw Ried and Senator George Gray- Senor Montero Rios. Senor Abarzuza, Senor Garnica, Senor ; Villaurotla and Gen. Cereroy Saons, each commissioner signed its opponent s , treaty. Both were tied with the Span- , ish and American colors. When the seals were prepared to be \ affixed, attendants were sent scurrying ] for ribbons of the French tri-color, with , which the documents were sealed as a j compliment to the French hosts of the commissions. The last seal being impressed, the commissoners rose, and, without form- , ality, each member shook the hands of < all his antagonists and exchanged as- ] bti ranees of sincere personal esteem, i The Spaniards afterward commented i acridly upon what they termed the bad , taste of the Americans in mustering a crowd of attaches to gloat over the con , summation of their downfall and to scramble for relics. The United States peace commission- \ era rested Sunday. They unofficially informed the Spaniards that they would be glad to have the two commissions ; dine together. The reply, which, like the invitation, was conveyed diplomati cally through a third party, was that the Spaniards would be most pleased, but feared it wonld be inadvisable, be cause it might be misconstrued at Madrid, where already much feeling existed against the commissioners. Several members of the United States commission were inclined to publish the , text of the treaty, but Senator Frye made a strong plea yesterday for the observance of courtesy toward the Unit ed States Senate, and his arguments prevailed. Further details have been learned as to the wording of the treaty, 1 which provides that Cuba is to be relin quished and that Porto Rico are to be ceded. The Americans are to pay for the repatriation of the Spanish troops from all the colonies. The Spaniards . are to return all prisoners held by them. They are to retain possession of all mili -• tary stores and munitions of war in the Philippines and of such ships as have not been captured. The commercial treaties between the two nations, which the war ruptured, are to be renewed at the convenience of the two nations. The • protocol makes nearly 600 type ' written pages. The United States commissioners have been almost overwhelmed with offers of dinner* in England, prompted by the desire of prominent Englishmen to emphasize the Anglo-American en tente, but they will remain in Paris nn til the day before sailing for the United States. They will make formal calls upon President Faure and high officials there, to thank them for official hospi tallity. Unofficial hospitallity to the United States commissioners has been Ostentatiously lacking in Paris. TREATY'S TERMS. Extraordinary precautions are main tained by both the peace commissions to preserve secrecy as to the contents of the treaty. Each commission has two copies, but even the commission at taches are not permitted to persne the documents.

On Saturday last Justices Green and Williams of the Supreme Court granted an order allowing Senator M. S. Quay. Richard R. Quay and ex-State Treasur er Benjamin J. Haywood, charged with conspiracy to misuse funds of the state, to argne a petition for a writ of certio - rari removing the proceedings from tho Court of Quarter Sessions to the Su preme Court. The rule is returnable Jan. 7. and stays all proceedings. The trial was to have begun Monday, and one effect of the rule will l>e to take the case out of the hands of District Attor ney Graham, whose term of office will expire with the present year It mav also carry the conclusion of the trial beyond the date for election of a United States Senator. Jan. IT. Should the case come to trial after Jan. 7th the duty of prosecution will devolve npon P. F. Rothermel. who relieves George S. Graham as District Attorney. In discussing the latest phase of the political anil legal situation. Represent ative W. Fred Turner, just re-elected for a second term, from Armstrong county, always u Quay stronghold, said: "I do not believe my constituents will stand for any such tactics of evasion and delay. I have always been put in the Quay column, though in the present contest lam pledged to nobody. I had a hard fight for re-election, and had to win it myself. I would have had prac tically no trouble at all if it had not been charged that my success meant the support of a certain candidate for tor the United States Senate. "There are no better people in the world than those whom I represent, and they want things done about right, I do not believe they will be satisfied with the result of a Senatorial caucus held under the circumstances. It was understood that the charges against Mr. Quay would be disposed of before the opening of the Legislature. The Su preme Conrt raling makes a radical change in the situation. '' The cry of "no trial, no caucus' is becoming more general every day throughont the S f ate. Neither legisla tors nor their constituents want to run the risk of electing a convict to the U. S. Senate from Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA wants the govern ment to put a 30 foot channel in the Delaware, from the town to deep water in the bay, at an estimated cost of five millions. As to tlie Primaries. EDITOR ClTlZEN:—Knowing that a free discussion through the columns of the press in regard to the Republican Primary of 1899 would lead to a better understanding as to whether another mid-winter primary is desired or not, I write these few lines in order to set those interested thinking. There seems to be a desire on the pai t of some to force another mid-winter canvass as in 90, while those who passed through that canvass do not care to re peat it. Until 1896 it was a very rare thing to have a primary until May or June, and why so early now ? Those who favor an early primary say that a larger turnout can be had when held early, now that may be true in re gard to Butler and other borough's vote but the country voters will not turnout as well when the roads are at tbeir worst as in the early primary. Some say that the candidates who live in or near Butler nearly every day have an opportunity of meeting many of the voters of the county and placing their case before them, while those who live in the conntry and can not be in Butler every Saturday and on every day during court and on every other day that there is a large crowd in town cannot see the voters without making a thorough canvass, which is impossible with an early canyass and primary. In justice to all, the primary of 1899 should be held at as late a date as pos si hie, then no candidate can say that he had not time to make a canvass, and see every voter in the county if he so desires. Those interested should talk the mat ter over and when the county commit tee meets have a date fixed that will fa vor no one at the expense of another. JUSTICE. Evans City, Pa.

SILEX. WASHINGTON. At Thursday's session of the House bills aggregating nearly s7o,ooo,<H*) for the increase of the am?y and navy were passed, but the President is not to re tain the volunteers after peace has been declared. The anti-scalping bill, passed by the House, wan received in the Senate and laid on the table, a similar bill having already been reported by the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce. When pension bills were brought up many Senators left the chamber ami MR Vest. Democrat, Missouri, raised the point of no quorum. He said that this business of passing pension bills merely by reading their titles and when there was no quorum present had got to be stopped. He remarked that men from the South had felt a natural del icacy about objecting to this procedure, but as recent events have obliterated sectionalism and we are once more one conntry and one treasury they could ob ject to this spoliation he used the word advisedly—without having their motives misconstrued. "We. he said, ''are paying out in round figures $141,- 000,000 annually for pensions, and it is our duty to find out why it is that. 33 years after the close of the ( ivil war. pension claims show so enormous a A quorum answered to their names and 20 pension bills were passed. Mr. Caffery, Democrat, Louisiana, intro duced a resolution declaring it to be the sense of the Senate that the President, enter into negotiations with Great Britain for the purpose of abrogating or modifying the Clayton-Bulwer treaty to the extent the same mav be deemed to prevent the United States from owning, constructing, controlling or operating an interoceanic canal across the Isthmus of Darien. Mr. Vest introduced a resolution pro viding for the aj)pointment of three Senators and five members of the House as a committee to investigate the charges of corruption in the purchase of vessels for the navy and clothing and other articles for the army during the war with Spain. The Nicaragua canal bill was taken up and made the unfinished business, and the Senate adjourned to Monday. PENSIONS Maurice I. Covert, Evans City, sl2; Sarah L.

Dec. 3, was one of those beautiful sunshiny days which has a tendency to make one feel bright and happy, and this seemed to be the conili tion of the hearts of all those who gath ered in the Presbyterian church at Un ionville on the afternoon of this day to attend the local institute held there The church had been tastefully decora ted with pines by teachers, scholars and a few friends of the school, and presented a pleasing and welcome ap pearance. By two o'clock the seats, with but few exceptions, were all filled Friends of education from far and near had gathered together to be entertained and instructed, and we feel sure that not one left the institute who did not feel sure that both instruction and en tertainment had been received in a full measure and running over. The ad dresses were all so interesting and so full of helpfulness that we beg space in your valued paper to quote a very small part of each one as we come to them. The institute was opened by prayer by Rev. Shumaker of Prospect Pa., af ter which the audience arose and sang that grand old song "My country tis of thee. Old it certainly is but, oh, how sweet and patriotic it is, and as one of the speakers later on in the afternoon said: "what heart does not swell at the very thought of. "My country' ti's of thee, Sweet land of liberty. - ' Institute wan organized by electing James T McCandless, chairman and appointing Miss Nannie (tlenn secre tary and Miss Iya Miller, recording secretary. Seven of the little tots then gave a welcome exercise in which each little speaker came forward one by one, with a large letter, and in a neat little speech presented it until the word "Welcome," was formed. We are sure every one appreciated this quaint little welcome judging from the hearty way in which it was received. This was followed by the address of welcome, given by Miss Nannie Glenn, teacher of the primary school here. She extende 1 to all, in the pleasing manner natural to her, a sincere and heart-felt wel come. In speaking to the parents she said. "We are especially glad to see you here. The school is a branch of the home. Too often the teacher knows too little of the home, and the home too little of the teacher.. But howuver this may be, 1 give you all a hearty welcome." Miss Minnie Conn, of West Sunbury. responded to this in an able manner After thanking the speaker in behalf of those present for the welcome accorded. she said that an institute is not a place of amusement only but a place of in struction. Further on in her address she asked the important question "Do teachers realize their responsibility as teachers? We are sowing the seeds now which in future will bear fruit in the heart of some child " Col. John M. Thompson of Butler, was called and came forward amid ap plause. The Colonels addresses are nl ways line but this one was exceptional ly good and as he expressed in words the thought and opinion of so many present it was well received._ He im pressed upon the teachers their respons ibility and spoke of the delicate task and beautiful work intrusted to them For education, he said, go hand in hand. The teacher should In- very careful of his language in the hearing of his scholars, as children can be tanght to talk by example The teaeh er teaches more than book learning and needs to be kind, generous and con siderate, that he may command the friendship of all. Mr. McCandless in preparing liis pro gramme was very fortunate in securing Prof. Cyrus Harper, of Butler, to sing at the institute, lor his singing was ap preciated by all. Mr llarper after Col. Thompson's ad dress, sang that sweet song with the pretty story attached: "The Heaven ly Railroad. " and all joined with him insinging the chorus This was followed by an interesting address by John L>. Mcliride, of Trail Pa., "Eternity, he said, should be the goal of all. and let us as teachers iin print this upon the minds of our pupils Let us all work together, for, "In Union there is Strength Four of the little folks then sanx a little song, entitled Why parents don't visit the school," Hiid we are glad that so many of the parents were present to hear the merry wet* folks give this gen tie little reminder and hope that many more of them will visit our schools now. Prof. Cheesman. of Portersyille, took for his subject, ' Reading between the lines. This talk along this line was very interesting and heipfnl. He said in part: "The importance of read ing is one point that all can see with out difficulty. Every " teacher should lie a method unto himself but he should however, be acquainted with other methods. Let the scholars help themselves, and teach them to bo independent," One suggestion the writer thought particu larly j<ood was that of having the pu pils do some uieuior> work. Iliivo them learn poems, such as "Thanatop sis,' and The Psalm of (jife.'" I'rof. ("hristley, of Butler, gave an address which was full of good points and good thoughts. Home of them were. "The common school lie cause it is common is the foaii'lation of all the work of our nation. The school house may crumble and decay and many as sociates connected with it !»• forgotten, but the lessons learned within its walls shall never lie forgotten. Von should teach the . hild self work, self indu pendcnce This b"K''ts enthusiasm Miss Clara Johnston. uf Butler. read an essay on "our attainments Hhe .closed with these words: 'Heaven is not reached in a single! bonnd Dm we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the rani ted skies. And mount the summit ronml by round." Rev. Shumaker was next on the pr , i gramme and pave a humorous address j I which kept the audience laughing for some time. In his remarks he said j that the teacher i- responsible for th>' ' conduct of the scholar both in and out ; of the school room < "hildren are very I imitative and will imitate the teacher j in both language and dress. This was followed by recitations by Ralph Holman. MacVarnum, and Ab bott Miller, who said their little speeches very nicely. The afternoon session then closed with a song by Mr. Harper. Visitors were then taken to the different homes for supper and en tertained until time for the evening meeting. Evening Session. Long before eight o'clock had arrived seats were packed full and many were obliged to stand during the entire even ing. The crowd was estimated at over five hundred persons, yet not with standing the crowded bouse the order was perfect. While waiting for the hour for lieginning to arrive. Prof. Harper entertained the audience l>y singing the pathetic song. "Somebodys Darling" and when encored and brought back again sang the jolly -ong "Keep in de middle of de road, which started the most sedate to langhing. At eight oclock the evening meeting ojiened with a welcome song. Prof. Christ-ley then in a pleasing manner in trodnced James T. McCandless. chair man of the institute and principal "f the schools here Mr McCandless gave an able -nd interesting discourse which was enjoyed by all. "Not how much but how well was very practically discussed by I'rof. \\ . G Russell of Batler He handled the subject in a very able manner and made some excellent points. "Accur acy,' he said, is the golden thread that bind- all that is good m education, again it is the mark of good training in a man This life is made up of trifles and the little trifles are the se cret of your success. The teachers po sition is not one of gold but it is one of galden opportunities. Recitations by three of the little folks, were next, followed by an exer cise by twelve little maidens who told us what they are going to do when they grow up. Prof. Harper, sang a song just for the little folks, but the big folks enjoyed it just as much and all laughed very merry. Prof. Howard Painter, of Chieora, gave an excellent address on "Discip line", "In the first place", _he says "discipline means order. Keep the school busy, and do not require too much of the pupils but have them do what they do thorough and well. Al ways say what yon mean and mean what yon say. He closed with these words. "The true way to discipline your school is to be kind Each smile will become a gem reflecting your char acter." A quartette was next sung by Misses Jennie McCandless and Clare Thomp son and Messrs Thomp-on and Camp bell, of Mt. Chestnut This was fol lowed by a recitation by Hattie Glenn which was pronounced splendid. Rev. Shumaker was then called and respond ed promptly. As usual his discourse was interspersed with funny savings. Miss Blanche Holman recited, "Trou ble in the amen corner," and received a goodly share of applause. Little Esther Glenn is a nice little speaker and did exceedingly well when she said, "And if you're not careful you'll get a whipping too." A song with a whistling chorus greet ed the audience next and the whistling Messrs Campbell and Thompson did was all right. Miss Gertrude Skiles gave a nice reci tation followed by the song. "Why parents don't visit the school, which was repeated by request. Mr. Harper Hang. "The Star Spangled Banner, and then three girls with one boy for book agent gave a laughable exercise. As might be expected the book agent had to retreat. A good-night song then (dosed one of the best local institutes ever held in Bntler county. Everybody went home feeling that th« ir time had been well spent. Mr- McCandless is certainly to be congratulated nti the excellent pro gramme which he had arranged, 'I he speakers secured for the occasion were fine and their addresses were highly appreciated. Miss Glenn deserves praise for the excellent training of the little folks, anil Mr. Harper and the speakers thanks for the interest manifested and their part in making the institute the decided success it certainly was.
