Politics not only "makes strange bed fellows, bat also induce* politicians to do strange things. Messrs Penrose and Durham of Philadelphia, the present stat* "bosses," having the City by the revolt aga.nat the e^e of the gas works and feanng the spread of the revolt over the state, fixed upon judge John Stewart of Franklin county on account of his unimpeachable char acter and established judicial attain ments. as apolitical make weight to stem rtln* i"'i' u,i4r r 'l' lD! ''" against their management of the party, and induced Gov. Pennypacker to ap point him to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Bench caused by the death of Justice Dean; and Judge Stewart will accept the appointment with the under standing that the State Committee is to ] nominate him for a full term of twenty one years. Judge Stewart has been a leading figure in independent movements in this state for a quarter of a century. In 1882 he was the independent candi date of a revolt against the Cameron regime; and his candidacy was an im portant factor in the election of _ Patti son. Before that be had been a vigor ous critic in the Legislature of jobbery and subservience. In succeeding years he became reconciled with the party organization, but it has never been heard that by doing so he compromised his integrity or involved himself with the misdeeds that are perpetrated in the name of the organization. There is no doubt that Judge Stew art on the Supreme Bench will be an upright and independent Judge, far above being swayed by the wishes of political powers or the influences that •re sometimes exerted-to affect judicial action. His service on the lower bench has demonstrated his full qualification for the appellate position. It is doubt fnl if a selection couli have been made within the State more unexceptionable in its character or containing a better guarantee of ,tbe integrity of the Su preme Court. Whatever the motives that have con trolled the Governor and bis advisew in making this nomination they deserve credit for a first-class selection. The greatest measure of hope for the purification of Philadelphia politics may be found in the latest order of Mayor Weaver in which he says that all em ployes of the city must report the number of voters registered from their homes, supplementing it with the recommendation that they should not be engaged as landlords in boarding bohsee. State Chairman Andrews baa called upon the State Committeemen to meet in Philadelphia, next Wednesday, June 21st, at 2 p. m.. for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court, and quotes Rnle 6 of the State Rule* as his authority for so doing. WAR NOTES. All the world—the diplomatic world- Is wondering at President Roosevelt's success in bringing about the necessary preliminaries to peace or a truce be tween Russia and Japan. Both countries have agreed to appoint peace plenipotentiaries and name a time and place for their meeting. Russia is already beaten, badly beat en, in war ; and the destruction of Line vitchs army—her last hope—will make her borders liable to Japanese ag gression, both by land and sea. If she had an honest government there would be no trouble about concluding a peace, but the Jip» will probably be very wary in dealing with a government founded upon and maintained by Fear, Force and Fraud. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has decided that there shall be no further delay in the effort to secure legislation fixing railway rates and Congress will be sum mooed to meet in extra session on MonJ day, November 18.

The Schools of Butler County (Extracts from ex-County Superintend ent Painter's last report to State Superintendent Schaeffer.) "I hereby submit my sixth annnal re port of tne" schools of iiutler county. The year just closed, as a whole, was very satisfactory. The teachers, with but few exceptions, were faithful and tried to succeed. In this work as in all other places in life some few always fail; yet we do not wonder at that, for wben we come close to the work of the teacher and stndv it carefully and see it in its trials and difficulties, we are surprised that more of them do not fail eacn year, The attendance of the pupils in most sections of the county was good, though some few districts were careless in this matter, and the attendance was not what it should have been. Poor attend ance means poor progress for any pu piL It is also contagious and one or two families afflicted with it may spoil the report and progress of a whole school. It therefore rests upon pupils, parents, directors and teachers to re duce this habit to the minimum. Fifteen public examinations for teach ers were held during the year. Mid were attended by four hundred and fifty ap plicants. ; f wo hundred and thirty pu pils successfully passed the diploma ex amination. This was the largest class of pupils ever graduated from the schools of this county and we think it is a partial outcome of an earnest effort that has been made to encouroge our boys and girls to complete our common school course and then to take some higher education. Through the press, in public meetings and in my visits to the schools I have brought this matter before our young people and their pa rents every time I could do so, and bv taking note of the students now attend ing our normal school, and the several academies and high schools of our county, we see more young students en rolled" than usual in each of them. Eighty of our teachers were be ginners and eighty four of them had taught for five or more terms; and by a careful calculation I find that the wages paid onr teachers this past year, on an average, were fifteen percent higher than those paid six years ago. This steady increase in wages was not due to the minimum salary law for that law changed the wages of only three townships of this county. This question of teachers wages is one of vital importance to our schools and I have regarded and treated it as such daring my superintendency. Wo want no poor teachers, and we can't expect to get and hold good ones very long an less they are fairly well paid for their work. I again visited every public school in the county and called at several of them the second time. I attended and took part in fifty educational meetings during the year and, judging from the attendance and interest shown in most of them, I feel safe in here reporting the school sentiment in this county as very good. Our three township high schools did ?;ood work. These schools are growing n favor in our county and the work of organizing three new ones has already been nearly completed. Daring my sui»erintendency 1 have endeavored to place good pure litera ture in the hands of our young people The teachers were examined each year as to the books they were reading and the ones thev wanted their pupils to read. School libraries were advocated and through the efforts of our people more than two hundred libraries have been placed in the schools of Bntler county during the last five years. In closing my work as superintendent of the schools of Butler county I do so with a clear conscience, having done the best I could for the good of the schools. 1 made my mistakes in the work but meant to wrong no one. And now I wish to thank directors, parents, teachers and pupils for the many act* of kindness shown me during the year" I acted as superintendent. It was only because of your help that my work was of any benefit. I bespeak tor our newly elected sup erintendent, Prof. Pentield, the same kind treatment you gave me, and my heart's desire is to see our schooln everywhere prosper in the future even more than they have done in the past Yours very truly, HOWARD I PAINTEK.

That "in the midst of life we are in death" was never more forcibly im pressed on the minds of the people of Bntler thnn it WAS last Thursday even lug, J uue 3, 1905 when the word was passed around—"John Bickel is dead.' He was on'the street and in his store during the day, apparently in his usual health; and was up street that evening, but mentioned then to one or two men he talked with that his stomach was bothering him. He started for his home on N Mc- Kean Street about 9 o'clock: was taken sick on N. Main street, was helped to his home and expired shortly after. His funeral, Monday, was very large lv attended, and he was laid to his eter nal rest in the family lot in the South Cemetery. John Bickel was the eldest son of Philip Bickel, deed., and was born in February of 1843. He passed his boy hood in Bntler. and was but 19 years of age when the Civil War began. He enlisted, in 1862, in Co. K of the 134 th the company of which Ed. Lyon was the first Captain, and of which Will Campbell. Geo. Bowers and others yet living were members—was wounded at Fredericksburg in December of 18C2, and was dischaiged with the regiment in 1863. , Sometime after he engaged with his brother-in-law in the shoe business, dis solved partnership and engaged in the business for himself—and by reason of his cleverness, close attention to details and invariable good nature, has been one of the most successful business men Butler has ever produced. No man engaging in business in this town for a long term of years made more friends, or died with fewer ene mies, than did John Bickel. He is survived by his wife, nee Smith; two song, George and Philip, and one daughter, Mrs. F. G. Holnian; also by one brother, Henry, and three sisters, Mrs. Ruff, Mrs. Crail and Mrs. Miller. The accidental death of his son, Albert, some years ago was a sad blow to him. and he has often complained of his heart and stomach. Lately he has found relief in taking long walks after business hours, but it was that trouble that caused his sudden death. He is dead and buried, out of sight but the genial, good-natured, honest and clever, John Bickel, will live long in the memory of those who knew him. He was in his 63d year. J W Waters, * stranger who worked in the Lead Works, was stricken by paralysis, some days ago, and was taken to the County Home as the Hospital was full. He died Saturday night, and alj efforts to locate bis relations have failed. He was about 50 years of age. Dr W E. James, aged 80, of Bradys Bend, died, Monday morning after several months' illness. Jir. James practiced medicine for the last 40 years at Bradys liend and was also closely identified with the development of the 011 industry in this end of the State.

The mode of living which he was obliged to adopt as a boy he considered good enough for later years, especially -when he saw that by denying himself for awhile longer he might make the experiences and hard knocks he had gained count for more than a mere liv ing. He might have argued that he was doing pretty well to earn SIO,OOO a year and that lie deserved to enjoy it. But he preferred to use his earnings to make more money that some day he might be able to dispense with a sala ried position altogether. And this man had a wife, too, who was farsighted enough to be willing to live on a small sum when it meant an easier road for both by and by.

The utter stupidity of sheep is per haps nowhere more strongly evidenced than in the perfect satisfaction with which a ewe that has lost her lamb will take to a strange lamb around which has been fastened, the skin of her dead offspring. Considering that the skin of the dead lamb is often merely thrown loosely over the back of the living lamb, some times hanging almost to the ground on one side or the other and making the lamb appear the quaintest kind of ani mal imaginable, the ewe's gullibility in this respect is remarkable. There can be no other explanation of her satisfac tion than that she really thinks the muffled little stranger is her own prog eny; otherwise she would give it no at tention whatever. Us appearance does not seem to count, nor even its voice. Its smell is every thing, which may be seen in any flock of ewes and lambs, for while the moth ers certainly appear to know the bleat ing of their own children, the identifica tion is always completed by the ewe sniffing the coat of her lamb. I have been looking at two such quaint families in the lambing pens re cently, and the picture of a sedate ewe placidly attending to two weird little creatures which look as if they have been half flayed Cone of them was ac tually dragging its second skin In the straw; was the most comical study of animal stupidity which could be imag ined.—l.ondon Express.
