WASHINGTON NOTES.
In tbe Senate last Friday afternoon
Germany received a second warning,
unofficial, of course, that her scheme
of colonization in Southern Brazil and
dickerine with Denmark for the acqui
sition of the Danish West India islands,
if carried to a conclusion, meant war
with the United States. Senator Lodge,
who is in perfect accord with the Ad
ministration on every important ques
tion and who never discusses our for
eign relations in either a light or jin
goistic spirit, made a speech strangely
similar to the one delivered by Secretary
Root some time ago.
Mr. Lodge was ostensibly discussing
the part of the naval appropriation bill
which makes provision for armament
and armor. He protested against stop
ping tbe building of ships, which would
be the effect of the adoption of Senator
Tillman's amendment providing for
the purchase of armor now needed at
£SOO and the construction of an armor
plant. His reasons for desiring more
ships and desiring them quickly is his
belief that tbe safety of the United
States depends ou the navy.
The inference that Lodge was speak
ing about Germany's schemes was so
plain that Senator Tillman, without the
slightest beei aticn, remarked that it is
a well known fact that the American
navy is superior to that of Germany.
G. H. Gibson has been appointed P.
M. for Eau Claire vice Mrs. L. Stalker,
removed.
Rep. Showalter has recommended G.
F. Flintier for P. M. at Stamford.
In the Senate. Tuesday noon. Senator
Clark of Montana read a defense of him
self and criticism of his enemies and
then resigned his seat: and that evening
the Lieutenant Governor of Montana
(the Governor being out of the statej
appointed Clark to succeed himself.
Whether the "trick'' will work or not
remains to be seen.
A Political Postal Thiet.
Most of the administrative work
hitherto required in Cuba and Porto
Rico has been done either by officers
of the army or by experienced officials
sent out from the departments at Wash
ington. As a consequence it has gener
ally been done honestly and well. It
appears, however, that some outside
appointments were made for the postal
service, and an Indiana person in need
of a job was sent to sell stamps in the
Havana Post Office. The present scan
dal is the natural result.
As now explained, the embezzlement
was simple. When the American pos
tal service was established in Cuba, a
quantity of stamps were sent over for
use there with the word "Cuba" printed
across the face. When the specia'.-
-stsnnps had been engraved for Cuba
these sur-cliarged stamps were with
drawn and ordered destroyed. This
duty was entrusted to the Indiana poli
tical appointee, to whom the opportun
ity was to good to be neglected. Instead
of destroying the old stamps he sold
them and put the proceeds in his pocket.
As these stamps had been officially
cancelled it was not necessary to account
for them. The sudden and large decline
in the receipts from the sale of stamps
called attention to the theft, and the
enterprising Hoosier is under arrest.
The discovery, it may be remarked, was
made.by a military inspector.
The Havanese are said to regard this
affair as a good joke on the United
States, whose officials turn out very
like the Spanish officials to whom they
were accustomed and who were expect
ed to fill their pockets at the expense
of the government they represented.
And this is \\ hat may l>e expected
generally of men who seek a public ap
pointment for what there is in it. If
the administration expects to make a
colonial service that will do it and the
country credit, it will have to find a
better way of selecting its employes
than by the indorsements of State pol
iticians.—Phila. Times.
POLITICAL
Quite a number of Republicans from
this county, besides the delegates, are
attending the Congressional Convention
at Beaver today. The Convention will
select a Republican candidate for Con
gress for this district, and the Butler
postoffice matter will probably be set
tled at the same time. The Convention
to select delegates to the National Con
vention meets at New Castle tomorrow.
As John M. Greer is persistently elec
tioneering for a second term, it may lie
well for people to know that James M.
Galbreath an<' S. F. Bowser will also be
candidates, when the proper time comes
and that H. H. Goucher is considering
the matter.
It is not likely however that they will
liogin electioneering two or three years
ahead o£ time, as they are all men of
some sense of decency, honor and fair
ness.
- Philadelphia lias another sensation in
hands. Mayor Ashbridge's chief of
Police attempted to blackmail John
Wanamaker.and Wanamaker made the
affair public. Ashbridge defends him
self and chief in a public letter.
At a meeting of the Municipal League
of Philadelphia, Monday, strong resolu
tions were adopted demanding an inves
tigation by the mayor, and declaring
that if the charges made by John Wan
amaker shall be substantiated. Director
English should be dismissed, and if the
mayor is unable to disavow responsibili
ty, he, too, shortlygtt out of office.
The Populists led off this year in mak
ing Presidential nominations. At Cincin
nati. Thursday the middle of-the-road
faction nominated Wharton Barker of
Phila and at Sioux Falls the fusion faction
named W. J Bryan. In some respects
there is a hair or two difference in tbeir
platforms.

At the meeting of the executive com
mittee of the centennial on Monday ev
ening in the office of the chairman the
sum of fi'iO was appropriate.l to tne
committee on Decorations for the erec- j
tion of the arch over Main St in tront ;
of the court house and decorating the >
same complete, and also decorating a ■■
speakers and a baud stand and the
front of the Armony Hall. These are
all to lie built and ready for use by the
first of June. Geo. A. Troutmau will
erect the arch and decorate the speaker s
and band stands and the Armory Hall.
1 .1. McCandless will see to the erection
of the stands. The decoration of the
Court House was also considered and is
to be decorated by Geo. Troutman as a
separate matter from the others.
Provision was made for the care of
such relics as are being sent or brought
in. Anv not placed in any of the stores
can be taken to the armory hall and
Captain Ira McJnnkin will be found
there and direct where to store tliem.
The local relic committee was enlarged
bv the addition of N. C. McCollongh,
L. E. Christley and Geo. A. Troutman.
Any of these, with W. L. Graham, C.
E. Cronenwett or any others of the com
mittee here, can give inforinatian as to
relics and care of same. It is under
stood that the different committees in
the different towns and townships will
look after and bring in their relics in
their own way most convenient to them
selves. But any sent previous to June
12, first day, will be looked after as
above.
The committee also ordered a row of
seats to be placed around the Diamond
in such manner as best for comfort of
visitors. Messrs. McAboy and Lowry
were on motion appointed a committee
to procure the erection of these seats in
time for nse of same.
The committee adjourned to meet
on Friday evening.
Tbe old four liNsse coach was the only
means of public conveyance between
Butler and Pittsburg, Mercer. Franklin
and other places,for many years. Like all
other things it has had itsday.nnd when
the railroad OHM it retired. The man
ner of its construction made it have a
rocking movement, and it was a very
easy and comfortable thing to travel in.
Nine persons could be seated inside and
often might be seen two sitting with
the driver, and a half dozen on top. 111
the rear end was the "boot, or baggage
place, and it was always packed With
trunks and freight. When the people
of Butler celebrated the introduction of
the first railroad, the West Penn. into
this town, one of the old stage coaches
appeared upon onr streets, dressed in
mourning.and created great merriment.
That was the last seen here of the old
stage coach. But we learn there is to
be one at the Centennial. Through the
kindness of Major Phipps of Franklin,
Pa , knowledge was obtained of one in
that place the use of which could be
had for the Butler Centennial parades.
Arrangements have teen made to have
it here. Mr. William J. Mitchell of
Jefferson St., has taken charge of the
matter. He is an old stage driver and
knows how to handle a coach and four,
and he will do it in the good old fashion
of the days gone by.
Mr. Eli Graham of this place has in
his possession a "Patent" for a tract of
land in what now is Jefferson twp.. one
of the 300 acre Depreciation tracts of
land issued to soldiers of the Revolu
tionary war, and bearing date of June
*7, 1780, when said lands were yet in
Westmoreland county. • This is an in
teresting legal document and will be
among the relics at the Centennial. Any
such documents can be deposited in
Armory Hall if brought in before the
opening days of the Centennial.
Mr. George A. Troutnian is filling
the show windows of the store of A.
Troutnian & Sons with relics, intended
for the Centennial celebration. He has
several very interesting ones there
which will in due time be removed to
Armory Hall. And here we might
state again that the Armory lias been
secured for the deposit and safe care of
relics, and all bringing or sending any
in before the opening day can take them
,to the Armory and they will be cared
for. At the Armory persons can in
quire of Capt. Ira McJnnkin and he
will give any information required in
the matter.
A Day in tlie Hospital.
Our first Sabbath at the Butler Coun
ty General Hospital was ushered in »y
the sweet songs of a red-breast from a
bough of the hickory tree, nigh the
front of the building. Soon after we
were greeted with the smiling face of
Miss MeNickels, our night nurse, who
is kind enough to satisfy any unless
they are regular hospital bums. When
she has taken our temperature and
counted our pulse she vanishes as com
pletely (for the next twelve hours) as if
she had gone up in a chariot of tire.
The next incident worthy of note is
breakfast, which is good enough to sat
isfy an epicure. The next event is the
appearance of Miss Leech and Miss
Lowry, whose beaming countenances
are an index to their kind hearts, whose
great ambition seems too be to make
the patients as comfortable as possible,
and to feel at home. After they have
put the ward in order, administered the
medicine and made everybody as com
fortable as possible, they are off to some
other wards to render like services to
other unfortunate human beings who
are not able to help themselves. Last
but not least of the regular routine of
each day is the appearance of the benign
countenance of the Superintendent.
Miss Emma J. Limberg, who calls to
see that everything is in order and that
everybody is as comfortable as possible,
so ends the regular routine of each day.
Then comes the tiresome part of hos
pital life, all the patients iir the ward
but myself are able to get out 011 the ve
randa or to walk around and bujoy
God's bright sunshine and pure air.
This Sabbath morning I am left alone:
first I was greeted by the smiling face
of Col. O. C. Redick, who spent a few
minutes in social conversation and then
left, the balance of the forenoon was
spent in looking over the Sabbath
School lesson for May K>.
After dinner I was very agreeably
surprised by a visit from two of my
daughters, who helped me pass away
the afternoon until 4 o'clock, when they
left uie for home. Soon after their
departure 1 was favored with a call by-
Mr. Reiber and a lady with whom 1 am
not personally acquainted, but whose
call was appreciated just the same, and
whose call was probably shortened by
the appearance of our genial friend,
W. C. Negley, of tb ■ CITIZEN, who
spent half an hour with 11s and on leav
ing gave us a paper which we enjoyed
until the fading twilight warned ns
that our first Sabbath day at the hospi
tal was about over: HO after a reasonably
good night's rest 1 concluded to tell my
friends about bow I had spent the day.
so while 1 was writing this I bad a vbit
from the attending physician. Dr. At
well. who is a pleasant, jovial fellow
and if yon want a leg taken off be can
do it as easy as yon could take the head
off a chicken for a Sunday dinner.
I will just sav to the readers of the
CITIZEN that if any of you are not well
and have not got every convenience you
need at home yon can get it here at the
reasonable rate of one dollar per day,
which includes all charges.
J. P. DAVIS,
May 13, 1900. Isle, P. O.
.V Small-pov Itiot.
For sometime past it has been known
that cases of small-pox have existed in
Turtle Creek and other towns, east of
Pittsburg, that were not reported to the
authorities, the people prefering to at
tend to the cases in their homes. Hos
pitals. however, have been established
in some of them, and on Saturday last,
the attempt to remove some patients, to
a hospital in Turtle Creek, resulted in
a riot, a mob of about 3000 people resist
ing. The lire company squirted water
on the crowd, until their hose was cut:
and at midnight the Sheriff and some
deputies arrived. The patients were
placed in the hospital (an old school
house) but further trouble was expected.
Where Are We At?
On the Connoquenessing creek: half
waj between Pittsburg and New Cas
tle." To begin with an historic spot,
where from the start history and money
have always been made. The present
population numbers 2,000. Oil pro
ducers and operators, business men who
face tiie problems of the day and stand
for the ri-rlit even tlioifgh they stand
alone, glass manufacturers. County and
State representatives, make up the
active population.
Our towns are ideal as to place of
residence. The hills and ridges sur
rouning them are beautiful; we have
:in abundance of never failing pure
water: the surrounding farms bounti
fully supply us with good food: non
malarious atmosphere: social, church
and educational advantage folly up-to
tlie-end-of the century ideas. These
are a few things about our villages.
Zelienople and Harmony. But we
much prefer you to see things for your
self. We hope yon will come to the2:srd
annual Butler County Sabbath School
Convention to be held here June 7 &
We anticipate bith pleasure and profit.
C>ur hands will lx- extended to greet
vou. Our homes will be open to you.
Our table* will be spread for you.
The services of the best County and
State Sabbath School workers have been
secured.
The union choir is preparing special
music. In fact everybody is enthusias
tic. hard at work, and success is sure.
Come, and yon will meet friends, make
friends, and come in social contact with
others. Aside from any religious
opportunities and advantages, people
like to go where others go. At Conven
tions there are opportunities for social
converse and culture such as are univer
sally valued and enjoyed. Then, again,
l>eople almost universally love music.
Tliev love to sing, to hear singing, and
to learn to sing. There are opportuni
ties for gratifying and cultivating our
musical taste by attending conventions,
which are of no small value to ui* all.
There is every reason why you should
attend. Talk it up in your Sabbath
School. Send a large delegation. We
will provide for you all. Come for a
blessing and to be a blessing. P.J S.

Sunday's papers brought the surpris
ing news that'the Boers had abandoned
Kroonstad, and that the English had
occupied it without a fight. Numerous
kopjes in the neighborhood of Kroon
stad afforded the Boers tbe opportunitv
for making a strong opposition. But on
the other hand, military experts pointed
out that the country behind is so open
that a protracted resistance involved a
serious risk of tho Boers retreat being
interfered with by the large forces of
British cavalry.
There were 110 details beyond the fact

rived clearly manifested the popularity
of the General, for the sentiment of the
country was aroused in bis favor by the

patches. Therefore the new- is bailed
everywhere with quite as much satisfac
tion "as was the news of tbe occupation
of Kroonstad by Roberts the other <lay.
Driven out of Biggarsberg the Boers
will have 110 choice but to fall back
through New Castle upon the enormous
