Lrmt Wednesday Senator McNicbol of Philadelphia introduced a bill repealing the old "Bine Laws." . The Committees were announced in | the House and Capt. Hays is Chairman | of the Committee on Military Affairs and a member of the Appropriation and four other Committees; while Dr. Hockenberry is on the Medical and Forestry Committees. Each old member got places on six committee*, and each new one on two. The State Board of Charities has made out a budget for the considera tion of the Appropriation Committee, mlr«, in all, for $9,406,923. Of the State Institutions the Institution for the Feeble Minded at Polk leads the . list with $402,000, and the others are scheduled— Western penitentiary. $215,- 500; Huntingdon reformatory, $205,527; Morgaoza Reform school, $117,588.03; Dixmont Insane hospital, #36,200; War ren State Insane hospital, $106,000; Mer cer State hospital, $17,000; Connellsville State ho#p«t*l, $22,025; Erie Soldiers and Sailors' home, $120,000. This is followed by a long list of semi- State institutions in which the Butler hospital appears for#10;000; Kittanning, $5,500; New Castle, $80,000; Allegheny General' $300,000; West Penn. $120,000, and to on; also help raging from $2,000 to SIO,OOO for a lot of homes and socie ties On Tuesday Senator George W. Mc- Nees of the Anostrong-Bntler senatorial district, secured the appointment of Porter W. Lowry of Bntler. as clerk of the Senate, and Armstrong county was therefore given the "go-by" in the dis tribution of the "plums," all of which is laid to the factional fight Senator McNees had with the other Republican leaden of this county, who opposed his candidacy to the office be now holds, •ad who are held responsible for his de feat at.his first effort to become Senator several years ago.— Kittanning Times. After waiting for more than one year for the added pay provided for by the Moon Judges' Salary Act of 1904, the judges in commission at the time of its approval by Gov. Pennypacker will be paid. State Treasurer Mathues issued an order last Thursday that the judges be paid without further delay. Mr. Mathues also gave orders to cash the warrants issued by Auditor General Snyderbelore suit was brought by Jas. W. M. Newton of Philadelphia in the United States circuit court, in that way to test the legality of the recent decision of Justice Thompson of the State Su preme Court, that the act applied to all jndges in the State. The auditor gen eral will issue warrants to the judges for their back pay as fast as they file their requisitions and the warrants will be promptly cashed by the State Treas urer. Rep. Hays has asked the House for $30,000 for the Butler Hospital—double the amount allowed by the Board of Charities; and Rep. Hockenberry has aaked for $75,000 for the Slipperyrock Normal. An Allegheny Co. State Senator has introduced a libel law that is almost as idiotic as Pennypacker's. A measure, said to be ready for intro duction in both houses of theLegislatnre, provides for a board of three members in each judicial district with salaries ranging according to population from $350 per year in the smallest counties to $5 ,000 a year in counties like Allegheny and Philadelphia. The boards are to be appointed by the Governor and are to serve for five years from January 1 next, when the bill is to become effec tive, The commissions are to enjoy all the authority and rights now enjoyed by the courts of law in license cases. The clerk* of courts in the various dis tricts are to be clerks to the commission. Washington JNotcu. On Friday last the Senate confirmed the nomination of E. D. Robinson as Postmaster of Butler, who will take charge of the office as soon as bis bond ii approved. On Saturday the House passed the In dian appropriation bill, and Speaker Cannon appointed a committee of seven including Rep. Palmer of this state, to present to the Senate the impeachment case against Judge Swayne of Florida. The Hepburn railroad rate and rebate bill was introduced in the House that day. Senator Smoot had bis inning last week, and the witnesses for the defense were heard, and they are making Smoot appeal in the light of a reformer—a fierce and unrelenting opponent of polygamy. The opinion among the Mormons who are in Washington aa witnesses is, however, that Senator Smoot will not be permitted to retain his seat. The sentiment throughout the country is such, they argue, that the average Senator will vote to unseat Smoot whether he thinks be ought to or not He will be afraid of being regard ed as an upholder of Mormonism. And it is altogether possible that they have properly diagnosed the case. The aver age Senator likes his job, and public sentiment sometimes cuts a figure in the •lection of Senators. But not often. The Senate organized for th 6 trial of Judge Swayne, Tuesday, with Senator Piatt of Connectisat presiding. REIGN OF TERROR IX RUS SIA. Late events in Russia are illustrative of the saying that '"Whom the Lord wishes to destroy he first makes mad. That government trifled with the Japanese and brought about a war in which her army and navy have been continually worsted, and on Sunday it deliberately provoked revolution and civil war. The trouble started in some of the great factories of St Petersburg, owned in whole or ia part by the government, and under its supervision. The work men were dissatisfied with their wages and hours, and "struck" for a settle ment. The strike, under the leadership of a priest, named Gopon. who is said to have accumulated his political ideas in this country, assumed a semi-politi cal character. The strikers announced that they would assemble in the great public square fronting the Winter Pal ace, the official residence of the Czar during the winter mcnths, on Sunday afternoon, with a written petition which they hoped the Czar would re ceive in person from their leader. That afternoon they termed in great squads in different parts of the city,and march ed towards the square, the squad led by Father Gopon numbering about ten thousand. They were not warned to desist, and their women and children accompanied them. On coming near the square they found all the avenues to it blocked by soldiers, and upon their persisting in entering it, were fired upon and killed and wounded by the hundreds. All the processions attempting to enter the square from different directions were treated in a like manner. The people were shot down without regard to sex or age. The killed and wounded were, as a rule, carried away by their friends. Father Gopon was spared by the sol diers, and has since disappeared. That night squads of brutal Cossacks cleared the streets, and all the public squares were occupied by fifty regiments of troops. The highest estimate of the killed is 2,000, and wounded 5,000. Next day all was qaiet in St. Peters burg, but the "strike" was reported as spreading in the factories of Moscow and other large towns. The first effect of this terrible affair will be to shatter the belief of the work ingmen and peasants in the good in tentions of the Czar, and this will pro bably be followed by schemes for ven geance, thoagh at present the workmen mast submit, as tliey have neither arms nor money. It will also hnrt the credit of the Russian government in France and other countries where it has been borrowing large sums of money. On Tnesday the troops had St. Peters burg well in hand, bnt proclamations, said to come from Father Gopon advo cating violence were being circulated, and a reign of terror was feared In Moscow all the large factories were closed, and a big demonstration was being arranged for next day. The comment of the Liberal paper at Moscow, on the official report of the af fair at St- Petersburg, was sensational for that country: "This official report <loes not come from the scene of war, the victims have not fallen on th£ battlefields of Man churia, nor in a fight with a foreign foe. but in a bloody conflict between troops and Russian burghers. Arms and slaughter may avail to put down a peaceful demonstration, but force is not powerful enough to quench the as pirations of the Russian heart, ward off the consequences of Sunday's volleys and prevent the movement for liberty and a justly organized government coming to a full fruition." Disturbances were reported at Ra dorn, and several other manufacturing towns. WAR NOTES. The North .Sea Court assembled in Paris, in the foreign office, last Thurs day, with the French admiral presiding. The British charges consisting of seven teen specifications, alleging a case of unprovoked assault upon the fishing fleet, with the killing of two and wounding of six men, were read The Russian answer describes two small suspicions looking boats, without lights, making towards the fleet, and causing it to open fire upon them, and these torpedo boats disappeared during the firing. Nothing of particular importance has happened in the far £ast during the past week. The Japs are blockading Vladivostcck, and are capturing vessels containing supplies for the Russian army. The Trial or the Recall. It is to be regretted that the people of Pennsylvania do not possess that ad mirable political institution, the recall. Did they have it just now there might soon be a shaking of the dust of Harris burg from a certain pair of boots for ever, and an accession of sanity and dignity in the gubernatorial conduct of the Commonwealth. The recall, which is new in the Unit ed states, is an arrangement by which an elected official may be summarily turned out of office during the term for which he was chosen. Upon the peti tion of a certain percentage of constitu ents, an election must be ordered; and if some other person receives the high est number of votes, the official must vacate the office at once. The institution has just been "tried out"—according to the Arena,—in Los Angeles. Cal., where a member of the City Council was instrumental in hav ing a contract awarded to another than the lowest bidder. The recall having been provided for in certain amend ments to the city's charter, twenty-five percent—the required number—of the official's constituents petitioned for an election. The result was the defeat of the incumbent, who, imbued with an i<jlea that public office is a private snap, appealed to the Court. One of his claims was that, having been elected to the office, he had a vested right in it, I and that it could not be taken from I him without due process of law. The i Court sustained the recall, and to this : claim answered that a public office is I not property, but an agency that may at any time be terminated by the prin cipal—the people. The recall, like the initiative and ref erendum —which is working admirably in Oregon—is receiving a great deal of attention from the increasingly large number of Americana interested in good government, and if upon more ex tended test it ia found good, it is likely that it will be introduced in some other municipalities, if not in some States.— New Castle Herald. AN express packnge containing $5,650 in cash, was stolen from the Adams Ex press Co. enroute from Washington. D. C. to New Castle, last Thursday, and a package similar in appearance substitut ed ia ita stead. Firemen Banquet Last Thursday evening lfts tnen, coin prising the Good Will First Ward, Campbell, Springdale and East End hose companies and rescue hook and ladder company sat down to long tables in the dining room of the Standard Hotel, and enjoyed snch a banquet as would throw any epicure into a state of seraphic happiness. Not more than a score of firemen were absent. It was the fire department's first banquet since its organization away back in '7B, and did credit to the "big chief v " Martin H Reiber. and the"big six." Earl Clint on, of the First Wards, James Vogeley, of the Goodwills, James Shaffer, of the South Sides, George Liiuberg. of the East Ends, A. A. Barrickman, of the Rescue?, and Axel Asen of the Camp bells. Through the kindness of Mr. Clinton the hotel was given gratis for the occasion, and to Mr. Reiber belongs the honor of planning the layout After eating. Chief Jacob Burckhai ter acted as toastmaster, and respon-es were made by Col. W. T. Mechlins. Burgess W. M. Kenhedy, Charles M. Heineman. E. H. Negley nnd Lawrence Snyder. Chief Burckbalter then iu behalf of the department, presented Mr. and Mrs. Clinton with an elegant Morris chair, for which Mr. Clinton made acknowledgement in a few well chosen remarks. By eleven a'clock the fun was all over and a train of trolley cars carried the boys up town again. The Legislature. It looks as if the present might be a very important session of the Legisla ture. Several important bilis have already been introduced, among them one giv ing the people the right to vote on the license question, known as a general local option law. Another is the grant ing to street car or trolley companies the right to carry freight. There are are several others we no tice. and the members will probably have to be on their guard lest they are caught up in some scheme contained in some of them. At the beginning of the session an apparently bad move was made in referring all petitions of the people to committees without being read. The right of petition is an in valuable one to our people, and should not in any way be hindered or hidden from the public. N. The West Sun bury Farmers In stitute. The Farmers Institute held at West Sunbury, Jan. 16 and 17 was well at tended and was well worth attending. The chairmen during the different sessions were Norman Glenn. G. B. Turner, 8. S. Campbell, Horace Glenn and N. H. Thompson. W. C. Black, of Balm, Pa., addressed the institute on "Value of Pedigree," and J F. Campbell, of York, Pa., gave instruction on "Profitable egg Produc tion," "Poultry House and Fixtures" and "Commercial Potato Growing." .Prof. Menges, of York. Pa., explain ed "Fixation of Free Nitrogen" and "The advantages of a knowledge of chemistry to the farmer," and gave an excellent address Tuesday evening on "The Necessity for Education for the Farmer Compared with other Voca tions.' O W. Stonghton gave a talk on "Care of the Dairy herd," and Supt. Painter gave a good talk on "The Home and the School." The Hon. R. F. Swartz, of Analo mink, proved to be both instructive and witty. Music was furnished by the local band. Judge Criswell of Venango Co. is a candidate for re-election; and Miller and Sibley are against him, on account of his decision in the divorce 3ase. TRAVELING in Mexico is dangerous. Four Americans and one Mexican were ambushed and killed by Yaqui Indians, in Sonora, just below the Arizona State line, last Thursday. WITH an unpopular and disastrous foreign war on hands, and impending anarchy at home one wonders what the autocratic government of Russia will do ' next, CHINA'S answer TO Rassia regarding the alleged breach of neutrality is a pointed "You're another"—the first spirited communication that has come from that government.

Where we see her face no more. It wan hard from her to part, Yes, it almost broke onr hearts; And the tears in torrents ran, For we lost our Edna dear. Edna stay with Christ on high, We will all go by and by; And we will meet to part no more On that ever blissful shore. As she lay upon her pillow, Knowing death was. oh, so near; Not a murmuring word she uttered, Jesus banished every fear. Brothers, sisters, sorrowing parent, She has only gone before, You may all be reunited Once again on Canaan's shore. A FRIEND. Obituary. Ex-Judge James W. Coulter of Pueblo, Colo., died last week.

A trade journal tells a story of nu adventure which nearly cost oue of Its eorr*fspou<leiits in India his life. Ihe Indian merchant was a wealthy man who had got on well with the natives, but two of bis servants had had a quarrel over a girl whom they both wooed. The merchant interfered in the fight. The unsuccessful suitor, Laj, began to make trouble, and his rival, the husband, warned the merchant against him. Nothing happened for gome months. Then the merchant went away ou business. On bis re turn he was told llxat Laj bad been caught in bis bedroom and locked up. In the past this meant trouble. The merchant called his servants and had a thorough search made of the house. They examined every trunk, bureau and bedstead, every picture, statue and crevice in the wall and crack in the tioor, expecting to find a hooded cobra or other poisonous reptile. They scru tinized every knob, handle and gar ment to see If it had been smeared with poison or with juices which at tracted venomous creatures. Then they searched the wine cellar, the pan try and the storeroom. But they found nothing. The merchant was tired and after eating went to the cabinet where he kept his cigars. It was a large case of teak and plate glass, with an old fash ioned silver Indian lock. As he was about to insert the key in the keyhole I.aj's successful rival, who had been active in the search, cried, "Look out, sahib; some one has been meddling with that lock!" They examined the keyhole and found traces of wax. When they opened the case the merchant found everything apparently untouched. Five boxes of cigars were unopened. ll* had opened the sixth before he went away and removed a faw cigars. As he took this box up be noticed on it the marks of fingers. The cigars looked as If thay had not been disturbed. He was about to take one when he noticed that somethii? was wrong with the head. A secoLl and a third were like the first. In each a small, almost imperceptible rose thorn had been inserted, and on it was a dab .of brown slime still moist the same color as the cigar. "Do not touch them, sahib," said the Indian. "They are poisoned." The merchant sat down and wrote a note to the police. In half an hour an oflicer appeared with Laj under guard. The merchant stated the case to the officer and, taking one of the cigars, tended U t« Laj, with Ui« command, "Take it and waka U. u The man turned gray and refused. His guilt was proved. An Epicure In Condiment. It was in the dining room of a coun try hotel, the Chicago Kecord-Herald says, and the brisk waitress held a. glass pitcher above some steaming buckwheat cakes she had placed before the guest from town. "Sir'p?" she asked. "If you please." "Will you have it raound and raound or in a puddle?" "Beg pardon?" "Kaound and raound or In a puddle:' "I—l—in a puddle, I think." The golden stream began its sticky descent on the center of the cakes, and as she poured the waitress Included the guest and her work in one friendly con templative glance. "Some prefers it raound and raonnd, but I like it best in a puddle myself," she said graciously, as she shut off the stream of sirup with a dexterous turn of her wrist. A Nest of Criminal*. A spot practically unknown to civ ilization on the shores of the Red sea at Midi is the home of pirates and slavers, a regular nest of criminals. The place Is inhabited almost entirely by men, for the sheik who holds ab solute control there allows only the best of his warriors to marry. It pays no tribute to the Turkish government, for it lies (it the end of a long, narrow harbor Inaccessible to vessels. It seems probable that it will continue Its ca reer unchecked. Vocation nnd Avocation. "Uncle Ephraim, what do you do for a living?" "I preaches an' I raises punk ins, boss." "Which pays you the better?"
