Commissioner of Pensions, H. Clay Evans, resigned last Friday, and Presi dent Roosevelt la supposed to have re ([nested his resignation. The correspondence between General Miles and Secretary Root, and President Roosevelt's comments thereon about Miles' application to be sent to the Phil ippines to try a peice plan of bis own was sent to Congress Saturday. While the tenor of it has been known, the spirit of bitterness shown by the Presi dent and the Secretary la a distinct sur prise. Tbe House last week, took Mr. John 8; Rhea by the slack of tbe pantaloons anA cast him out. Odinarily people look with suspicion on Congressional contests, because So few of them have any sound basis, but here was a case from Kentucky so plain that no other action than that taken was possible. Mr Rhea did not claim that he got as many votes as bis competitor. He fell back on the infamous Ooebet law, that allowed the returning board to throw ont votes at will, which it did in this case to the extent of giving Mr. Rhea a certificate of election that was In its essence a fraud. By a vote of 12 to 5 the Ways and I Means committee on Monday ordered a favorable report on the bill for a 20 per cent, tariff concession on import* into Ihe United States from Cuba until De cetnlier 1, 1008. The measure will be taken up next Tuesday. Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, the Demociatic leader, tuned the House up to tbe highest pitch last Thursday by offering h resolution for the appoint ment of a committee of seven to Inves tigate the story that agents of the Dan ish government had corruptly spent • %r,O) ,000 to carry throngh the sale of the I Danish islands to the United States. The resolution was adopted ami the Speaker appointed this committee. Messrs Dalzell, Pennsylvania; Hitt, Illinois; Cousins, Iowa; McCall, Massa chusetts, Republicans, and Richardson, Tennessee; Diusrnore, Arkansas; Cow herd, Missouri, Democrats. Mr. Richardson's resolution recited that Walter Christmas, a diplomatic agent of the Danish government, has made a secret report to his government, alleging that that government had con tracted to pay hltn 10 per cent, or about $400,000 of the money to lie paid by the United States for the Islands the $500,000 to lai used in bribing members of (km gress and other citizens of this country. The Htate detriments of both gov ernments deny the truth of these state ments. The mention of Hepresentatlve Dal zell as a candidate for Governor was the subject of general comment In the House, Thursday, and be was congratu lated by hla friends of all parties. Mr Dalzell atill refuses to take tbe matter seriously, and when asked whether or not he would accept the Gubernatorial nomination, replied How can a man who is not a can didate accept or refuse a nomination which has never been tendered him?" PENSIONR - David Cupps, Butler, SOO. Butler's Great Boom The Standard Steel Car Company Locates Here. —. _. ...... I Bntler has had some "booms" in : times gone by but all that has ever hap ! pened to the town will not compare to , what will happen this summer, i The occasion is or will be the erection I on the West side of the tovrn of a tre | iuendou3 works for the manufacture of steel cars—the main buildings of which will cover fifty acres. The negotiations for the land needed were completed, Tuesday afternoon, when the company—The Standard Steel Car Co.—came to the terms of the But ler Co. Agricultural Ass'n, and agreed to pay them SBOOO for their lease (which run for five years more) on the land in cluded in the Fair Grounds. The land purchased or optioned is the . entire strip bounded by the Fair : Grounds and Pearce roads from Geo. 1 Stain m s house south to the creek, the Pickle factory, and the McElroy farm below. The whole of the land optioned by the Co. aggregates about 300 acres, and the prices to be paid are said to be about as follows: George Stamm, about ten acres, in cluding his brick house and brick-yard, | $14,000. C. Duffy, about 50 acres at SSOO an acre or $25000 in all. C. Duffy, Butler Savings Bank, Pil low heirs and Stehle heirs, from 5 to 10 acres each included in the Fair Ground?, i and James Bredin about 20 acres in same at S4OO per acre. James Bredin for some property be low the Fair Grounds, at SSOO an acre. Mr. McElroy's land to the south and west of Fair Ground at SIOO an acre. Mrs. McShane S3OO an acre for :50 acre#. Pickle Factory Hi acres—option in cludes price of building. The entire purchase money to be paid aggregates about SBO,OOO.

In the Lebanon county fight of last week Gobin weakened and the Elkin delegates were elected On Bunday it was reported from At lantic City that Gov. Stone was willing to remove Recorders Brown and Mur phy of Pittsburg and Allegheny "In the interest of harmony he is will ing to appoint Attorney W. B. Rodgers and ex-Delinquent Tax Collector Samuel C. Grier. This proposition has been made to Rodgers and Grier through Senator Since Governor Sume 1 betrayed the Bigelow-Ollver faction mo»y has insisted that all the Flinn ad herents should be eliminated from politics. Dnrham in the past month has grown yery active in Allegheny county politics. He still wants Elkin elected Governor, and believes that the only way in which Harmony can be established is by ripping out any person connected with the Stone alliance. Durham has made this prop osition to the Pittsburgers whoiji Re corder Brown has attempted to deal out. Among them are County Treas urer McClure, Register Edwards, Depn ty Register Mackrell, Judge Rodgers and County Commissioner Murray. f HenaterN by u Popular Vote. It is not to b*i expected that the Unit-• ed States Senate will adopt the resolu- j tion providing for the election of the ! members of that body by popular vote. 1 The States may send petition after peti- j tion to the Senate, but that fact will _ make little difference. There are so many sticklers for old time oostoms that the change does not seem likely to oome with the consent of the Senate j not for the present, at least. There igr but one way to force the much needed reform,and that is through the demands of the Legislatures of two fbirds of the States for a Constitutional Convention charged with the duty of formulating an amendment to the Con stitution, which would take effect when ratified by two-thirds of the Legisla tures. Several States have slready made this demand, and lowa is falling into line, the latest Commonwealth to do so. Public sentiment is so strong upon this matter of the popular election of Senators that it is only a question of time when the convention will be held, unless the Senate meantime shall join the Honse in taking action itself.

Jeweler nnd Gr«duata OptlcUn j ' »at TJ 1' r <a rt I Ku'l -r ) ■ A NEW HIVE COVER. A Combination of Tin Top and Tent (anwin Side*. The tent apiary probably solves tbe much written about hive cover. Bee keepers need not be told that material from a tree which grows by its ability to absorb water from the air an<l earth does not lose its affinity for water even years after seasoning, when atmos phere or other conditions favor absorp ! tion. It is practically useless to try.to keep bee hives from sympathising with the ! air surrounding and within theui el ' ther in a dry or damp climate. With the present higli price of good lumber economic considerations would not seem to Justify further experiments I with wooden hive covers. No hive is ! complete without an outside cover that i will protect the hive proper against ' heat anil rain, l'ainted wood costs ( more if of choice and valuable kinds 1 than tin and is of no comparative value. Lightness, however, was the great incentive to their adoption. That my apiary has had no other cov ers than the tin top and canvas sides since leaving tbe cellar last April is evidence that it can be used. It may be further observed that such J tents are a great pleasure In handling j when necessary. They weigh not more than four pounds and are very easy to manipulate. Of course my hives are not like any others in use, but any hive having a tin top and a narrow curtain around It to fall down over the sides would do away with all warping fea tures so much written about. The interior of my hives are practi cally solid and would stand the ex posure as well as any. but I use the outside arrait: wnent because I think It pays. The top or roof is an unplaned pine board an inch thick and seventeen inches square. The tin roof is formed at l lie sides like a squaw tin pan liy turning down the edges an inch and a half on all four sides. This tin is fas tened to tlie board with nails driven thrcugh the rim into the edge of the board. The tent cloth I use is the com mon tent cloth rt» ed In tents for hunt ers. etc. It is split in two lengthwise and cut into pieces long enough to go loosely around the hive and sewed to gether so as to form a tube or bag with open ends. It i fastened into or on the cover with strip of lath long enough to make good corners. This lath secures n shallow chamber across the top of the hive three-eighths of an Inch high, dead air space. A frame of lath or pieces tbe length of each side is fastened to the lower .edge of the cinvas so It will drop loose ly over the interior or main hive. No point Is required If the tin Is good enough so it will not rust. If the tin re ceives a coat of oil every spring. It won't rust ;rnd will not absorb the sun's lieal. It seen:'- strange that some of those beekeepers; that have had trouble with combs r.i"ltiir; down In the sun have not tried HTipnlnte I tin for n roof or even t id"* of tin.

The trees represented is n< arly aa pi --slide all conditions of expo: ire. As to the results, expressed In | •:ik!h of sugar, the difference In favor of south and east sides of a tree Is quite pronounced, amounting to three-tenths of a pound.

On typic:.) hiij» day It seems unqucs tionaMy tri;e that a south exposure will \ • M the inost sap. On a cloudy day, v'beli nil sides of a tree v.arm up equally fast, It Is more nearly an even thing.
