THE BXJTLER CITIZEN. WILLIAM a WEOLJCY - Publisher. ~ THURSDAY. Jclt 21. 190*. im ptr ymr la Advssce. Otherwise sl-50 REPUBLICAN TICKET. President —Theodore Roosevelt, Vice President-C. W. Fan banks. Supreme Judge—John P. Ellcin. Congress—Hon. Geo. F. Huff. State Senate —Hon. A G. Williams, Legislature —Hon. Thomas Hays, Dr. W. R. Hoc.v-nberry, District Attorney—Samuel Walker, Clerk of Courts—L E. Christley. POLITICAL The gentlemen from Kittanning will be here today for the purpose of re nominating Senator Williams. PUtt says Roosevelt will carry New York, and if he does there will not be a shadow of hope for Parker. Roosevelt can be elected without New York bnt Parker cannot. The electoral college now connts of 478 votes, and it takes 289 to elect. Nearly all the northern states are Republican, all the southern Democratic —and the supposed to be donbtfnl ones are New York, 39; Wis consin, 12; W. Va., 7; Maryland, 8; Colorado, 5; and Idaho, Montana and Nevada 8 each. Bryan is out in a manifesto in which he turns in for Parker—in a way. He finds some points in the Democratic platform on which he can stand—oppo sition to imperialism, the reduction of the standing army and dislike of Roose velt Bnt he declares that a Demo cratic victory would mean "very little in any progress on economic questions so long as the party is nnder the control of the Wall street element," and he holds that the nomination of Parker virtually nullifies the antitrust plank. He has fears of Parker's tariff revision views, charges him with deception in the matter of his telegram, and appar ently does not have much faith in his election. That he does not believe there is much of a chance for Parker is made evident by his refusal to consider himself dead politically. On the other hand, Bryan has great confidence in himself. "As soon as the election is over I shall, with the help of those who believe as I do. undertake to organize for the campaign of 1906," he proclaims, his object being to "defeat the purposes of the pluto crats who are attempting to direct the affairs" of the Democratic party. THEHE is some talk of revising the laws of this state regarding the sale of liqnor; and if that is to be done we sug gest a paragraph requiring that the bar rooms and dining-rooms open and close at the same time. Some Bntler people who arrived at the town;of Huntingdon, this state, after 8 P. M., the other even ing, were informed that the dining toom was closed, and were set around to "Fisher's - Restaurant" for their cappers, while the bar-room remained open till 10:80 P. M. Human Sympathy. When Peter the Great was founding the Russian Empire he sent a commis sion all over Europe seeking a suit able religion for his people. The com mission examined the Roman Catholic, the different Protestant, the Greek Catholic, and all the other forms of religion they could find, and reported in favor of the Greek Catholic, and it was adopted; and is today the state and general religion of the Russian Empire. That makes a sympathy between »■ which grew Great, and Greece which stayed little, and when the Turks "pitch on" to Greece Russia always in terferes and saves them. Hence the sympathy of the Greeks for the Rus sians. Yon can hear it right here in Batler. THE body of F. Kent Loomis, a brother of Ase't. Secy, of State Loomis, was recovered from the waters of the English channel a few days ago. Kent was on his way to Abyssinia, to deliver • copy of a treaty to King Menelek. the negro ruler of that conntry, and in Closing the channel he either fell off or was pushed off the steamer. A Buddhist Funeral at the Fair. Among the unnsnal sights witnessed at St. Louis, last week, was a Buddhist fnnersl—the first one of its kind ever held in America, the Japanese inter preter said. Nao Saito, one of the pretty geisha girls in "fair Japan;" died of typhoid fever four weeks from the day she arrived at the world's fair. The dainty Japanese girl was only 19 years old, and the sole support of her parents in Tokyo, Japan. Several Pittsburgers had watched her quaint dances in the theater and praised her grace of motion. Last week she was buried in St. Lonis, bnt the funeral was strictly a Buddhis tic one. All members of the Japanese colony, some 800 of them, gathered in the lower hall of one of the buildings where Akita, a Shinto high priest, who presides over the temple of Nio-Mon— the temple which has been brought to the world's fair, read the burial service. No American was present during this Worship, not even the undertaker. The priest clad in a scarlet kimona and a green turban, chanted two or three prayers, and then read the burial ser vice in Japanese. After this, each of 70 geisha girls present said a prayer for their yonng friend. According to their belief their pretty companion has start ed over the river of Ten Thousand Years, after which time she will reach the snow-capped mountain of Fusiy ama, the highest point in Japan, where Buddha dwells. According to the laws of Japan some part of the body must be carried back to the fatherland and buried there with sacred rites, so Nao Saito's shining black hair was cut; each girl took a lock of it snd the rest was expressed to Japan. The Japanese colony at the exposition paid the fuueral expenses and sent a purse to the parents. Thk sudden prospect of the shortage Of meat supplies on the initiation of a strike in some Western packing houses •gain brings us face to face with a serious problem incident to the modern consolidation of industrial interests. BUSSIA has ordered 100,000 breast plates for the army; but it does not ap pear that they can be so adjusted as to be worn on the back, where they wonld be most useful while Kuropatkin is executing one of bis "brilliant ma neuvers. " A THOUSAND bushels of Guatemalan ants, imported into this country against their will and let loose in Texas, are •aid to be eating up the boll-weevil with promptness and dispatch. Thirty million dollars worth of cotton was de stroyed last year by the weevil; Con gress appropriated $250,000 to destroy him and all the Southern States offered rewards; the ant was brought here, the planters were afraid of him, and took Um into Court; then he was let loose, •od be la said to be a success. WAR NOfEH. The week rtarted off with very con flicting reports from the seat of war. One report bad the Russian army un der Kuropatkin entirely surrounded by the Japanese, with a great battle ex pected at Ta-tche-kiao, a small town near Liao-Yang, and not down on the maps Tlie other report had the Jap army and navy brought to a stand-still by the spread of the cholera; Admiral Togo, being one of the first victims: but neith er of the reports were confirmed. Last Satnrday night or early Sunday morning a division of Russians attack ed the Japs at Motienling pass, and drove in their outposts, but the Japs rallied and gave the Russians a terrible beating. The Russian General ac knowledged that his losses exceeded a thousand men. The battle lasted till 3 p.m. of Sunday. The Japs reported their losses at but 17 men. Some Russian war vessels on the Red Sea have been over-hauling British and German merchantmen, looking for goods, contraband of war, and trouble is expected. What is called the "Volunteer Fleet'' consists of ten or twelve or perhaps more merchant vessels which are so constructed that they can in case of need be readily converted into cruisers capable of doing effective service in the capacity of commerce destroyers. In time of peace some of them ply be tween Odessa and Vladivostok, while others are engaged in the tea trade and in carrying passengers between China and the Black Sea. They are also employed by the Russian Government as transports for the conveyance of troops. In war times they are liable to be pressed into the national service, but as the transit of warships through the Dardenelles is prohibited by treaty ob ligations which are binding alike upon the Russian and the Turkish Govern ments, some difficulty has been en countered in placing them where they would do the most good. This difficulty was overcome in the case of the Petersburg by an ingenious but beautifully simple expedient. The vessel was taken through the forbidden water upon the claim that she was to be dedicated to the Red Cross service and while making the passage she bore an eminently peaceful aspect. Nothing was allowed to indicate any other than a purely humanitarian mission. But as soon as the Red Cross ship emerged from the jurisdiction of the Sultan and entered the high seas a radical change was effected in her appearance. The guns which had been concealed in the hold were hoisted to the surface and put in place and in less than no time, so to speak, the hospital ship was transform ed into a privateersman. Since then it has been busily engaged in halting and searching British vessels in the Red Sea and in looking out for Japanese com merce npon which to prey. Its most recent exploit was to hold up the P. and O. boat Malacca while its colleague, the Smolensk, stopped the German steam ship Prince Henry and took from it a quantity of Japonese mail. In spite of the Kaiser's desire to be pleasant with the Czar and cheer him up, German sentiment will hardly al low this outrageous and unjustifiable proceeding to pass without protest and rebuke. Contraband of war consigned to the enemy may be seized on a neu tral vessel and confiscated, but that mail' is contraband has not yet been seriously contended. The whole busi ness is thoroughly discreditable. It will be remembered that during the war in South Africa an organized body of recruits intending to fight for the Boers got away from the United States upon the strength of the Red Cross badges they wore. That was generally denounced as a paltry and contemptible deception, bnt how much worse is it for a government to stoop to such a low despicable trick. The Russians ecein to be doing their utmost to get them selves despised and disliked all round. Jbe lack of common sense which they display at every turn is no less painful than illuminating. Their volunteer fleet with its high-handed proceedings won't do the Japs much harm, but it will make lots of Russian enemies. GRAND-DUKE BORIS of the Russian Imperial family, who cut such a dash throngh this country, a year or so ago, is now under arrest and on his way home. As an officer of the Russian army, he was sent to the front, and be went with three palace cars, tilled with provisions, liquors and sporting women. Their orgies scandalized the army and had a bad effect on its discipline. Gen'l Kuropatkin ordered him to send the women home, and Boris struck him. Then the Commander-in-Chief reported the affair to the Czar, and Boris, arrest followed. There are some two dozen of these Grand Dukes in Russia; their income or birthright is $500,000 a year from the public treasury, and it was the doings of just snch fellows as Boris that bronght about the French Revolu tion over a hundred years ago. Butler County Schools. One more school year has now passed into history. Some of the school events which occurred in this county during the year just closed will long be remem bered by at least a few of us. At the beginning of the school year work wa? plenty, wages were good and as a nat ural result many of our best teachers left us, and the schools thereby suffer ed. One great educational need today, is to raise the teaching profession to as high and remunerative work as are the other trades and professions of life. Is this important, noble work not worthy to stand side by side with any trade or profession? Until this elevation and dignity is given this labor so long may we expect our best teachers to keep leaving the work. The minimum salary law was a step in the right direction and we slight all wish it had been a h'glier step than whjkt it was. We held, last year, 17 pnblic examin tions and issued 320 provisional certifi cates, 12 professional and refused 90 ap plicants; 110 pupils passed the required examinations and were granted public school diplomas. We believe that the move of teachers and pupils should always be upwards and therefore in all our examinations have tried to make the requirements lead that way. It is not a pleasant thing, I aoi sure, to refnse a certificate or a diploma to any who apply for the same, but we also know that some un pleasant things are also duties and from these we do not turn. As has been our custom, we again called our teachers together in a one day meeting just prior to the opening ol the schools. 1 was ably assisted in that meeting by Hupt. Fruit of Mercer county. Sunt. Allen of Lawrence coun ty, Supt. Gibson of Butler, Prof. Green of West Sunbury and Prof. Hall of Bntler. In these meetings we attempt at least to say and offer a few things that every teacher must meet before she goes far into her work. About 150 teachers were present. In addition to this meeting I had planned to hold one evening meeting in each township of the county, whilst viiiting the schools, to which ]>atrons, teachers and pupils were invited. The plan was meeting with universal satis faction, as far as 1 could learn, and would have been continued all winter had I not taken sick. We know that .he work was heavy, but yet I think he results were good and justified the effort. . . Because of the fever epidemic in Bnt ler our Teachers' Institute was put back until February S-12, 1904. None but the very best instructors ba.i been employed or our institute wonld have been a failure, through the lateness of the date and the absence of of teachers: bat from the words of so many I am convinced that a more suc cessful and more appreciated institute was never held in this county. Our first annual Directors' Conven tion, as required by the late law. was held in Butler Nov. 27. and was attend ed by about 125 local directors. This we think was a large number to attend a meeting in a town which at that time, because of the fever epidemic, was shunned by everybody. A very good program had been ar ranged and was carried out by local di rectors ably assisted by Hon. John Q. Stewart of Harrisburg and Supt. James Fruit of Mercer conuty. Last year we had 310 teachers of 23<> were females, 71 were beginners and 95 had taught for five years or more. Eleven new school rooms were built and several houses were repainted and refurnished. We need some advance work along this line of fixing up our school property in many places. I take it that no ground can be too rich nor smooth for the play ground; no floor can be too bright and clean no walls can be too richly decorated, and no house made too much home-like for our boys and girls whilst in school, for they are worth more than gold. The most important lessons for life are to be learned in school and are not found in our text books. Such princi ples as truth, politeness, respect, mod esty. love and virtue are hard to instill in boys' and girls' hearts when the sur roundings and environments are not what thej- should be. A little money carefully used in cleaning up and beau tifying school properties would aid very much along this line. The three township high schools were more successful this year than last,both in attendance and the kind of work done. Commencement exercises were held in the Penn township ami Franklin township schools. The former graduat ing a class of ten and the latter a class of six. The Muddycreek township school did excellent work but had no arraduates this year. Each year we name two days to be especially known as visitors' days, at which time most of our teachers made special efforts to get the parents into their schools. Some parents visit their schools without this extra inducement, but yet so many do not that we are led to think that some good comes from this effort. When parents and teachers fully un derstand the relation that really exists between them in the school and home: when they remember that the one cannot exist without the other, and that he who neglects the one thereby wrongs the other—then I think the matter of school visitation will largely solve itself. Because of the long siette of sickness throngh which I had to pass I was not able to get into all our schools this year. I was to see over 200 schools, several of which were visited after my sickness. And here I wish to pnblicly express my hearty thanks for tne many kind words and loving deeds shown to my self and family by so many dear friends during my late illness. Human sympathy is a strong cord and helps support many a one in time of trouble. Directors and teachers, pupils and patrons, the ministry and the press of this county, yon, each and all, have my thanks for the interest you took in our schools this year. We look upon education as the hope and fore-runner of advanced civiliza tion, and with this ideal in mind it should be your purpose and mine to giye our hearty co-operation in all things that tend towards elevating our schools. All teachers are cordially invited to attend the educational meeting and hand-shaking at Alameda Park on Sat urday, AUK. 20, at 10 o'clock. Yours yery truly, HOWARD I. PAINTER. ACCIDENTS. Miss Tillie, daughter of Cal. Logan of Jefferson twp. fell from a cherry tree a few days ago and broke her arm. J. Herman Starr the grocer was thrown from his wagon and into the ditch, at the B. O. crossing on South Main St. Monday afternoon, and had one leg broken. The express due h*'re at 4:35 hit his wagon and demolished it. James L. Oesterling, the carpenter, fell from a roof in Centre twp. Tuesday morning and was seriously injured: Henry Yetter and his son Arthur, 10 years old, were drowned in the canal near Grand Rapids. 0.. last Saturday. The boy was seized with cramps while bathing and the father jumped in to save him. The father had a cork leg and this proved snch an impediment, that he WHH unable to control his own movements and both] were drowned. Heat and lightning killed nine people in this country. Monday and seven were drowned that day. Jesse Keiswanger of Harmony fell from <1 roof at the pump-station, break ing his right arm. Mrs. Lizzie Kahle.aged !10,of Slippery Rock, made two unsuccessful attempts to commit suicide at Oil City, last Mon day, first by swallowing chloroform and then trying to hnrl herself from a sec ond-story window of the Oil City hos pital, where she is confined. Domestic troubles are said to have unbalanced her mind. The Butler county authori ties were notified and have arranged to take her to the State hospital at North Warren. She conducted a private school at Oil City. Mrs. Kable's first attempt of self-destruction was made in the'office of a doctor. Dnring tae absence of a physician from the room she opened a medicine case and drank the drug. When he returned he found her on the floor in agony. It is said she was deserted by her husband two years igo. Two large excursion trains were wrecked, last week causing a loss of thirty five lives The one at Mid vale. N. J., was caused by the negligence of the telegraph operator, who failed to set the block for a train closely follow ing the one that was wrecked, and that at Glen wood, IU., by the setting of a wrong signal, which put the excursion train on the same track with a slowly moving freight, into the rear end of which it ran. During a thunderstorm near Youngs town Ohio Monday a heard of 21 cattle which were ready lo be shipped to market, took refuge under a tree on the farm of J. A. Kline. The tree was struck by lightning and wheu the own er went to the field he found that one stroke of lightning had killed the whole herd. They were insured. What Shall We Have for Dessert?

"I thought I knew my business until I took a job holding copy in a mapmak !ng establishment," said a veteran proofreader. "The change from the rush of a morning newspaper to the leisurely work of an encyclopedia was queer enough. It was three weeks be fore I began to feel that I was earning By salary. It takes about two weeks to read the proof of a good map. If it is a business atlas, particularly com prehensive as to small towns, we linger over a proof and its successive revises for a month or sis weeks before the final electrotype is made. In mapmak- Ing it Is not only essential that every town should be in the map, but that it should be in precisely the right place. The man who is buying a map or an atlas has no use for it unless it gives accurate information about the city or town where he was born, where his wife was born and where he was mar ried. The first thing a prospective pur chaser does when shown a new atlas by a canvasser is to look up one or all of these points. If his native town or city Is not there he won't bother to take another glance at the book. If it is there, but not in its precise location on some river or bay, he does not hesitate to say he has no high opinion of the atlas. The motto of our business seems to be 'Get it all in and get it in right' " NAMES OF NUMBERS. Why Twelve la Called a Dozen &n prosody J to bi-11, trii 21 John Korcbt, money borrowed 2SOO 00 A.
