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

Porto Rico.

Philippines the same treatment as to
American for ten years, Spanish ship
ping to be treated as coasting vessels.
Article 10 stipulates that the obliga
tions of the United States to Spanish
citizens and property in Cuba shall ter
initiate with the withdrawal of the
United States authorities front the is

Quay Trial Delayed.
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

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.

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.

A quorum answered to their names

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

Mr. Vest introduced a resolution pro

I' iiioniille Local Institute.
Saturday. 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.
