WASHINGTON NOTES.
The Ohio River & Lake Erie Ship
Canal bill passed the Senate, Monday,
by a vote of 41 to 11, and now goes to
the House for concureuce
:> The fight in the House over fbe meat
■ inspection bill ended Monday, ill ®
compromise, -arranged by Speaker
Cannon and the President, and after
warda ratified by the unanimous vote of
the members of the Honse committee
on agriculture. The amendment agreed
on may be incorporated in the agricul
tural bill in ths Hontfe under suspen
sion of the rules and the agricultural
bill sent back to conference.
It is the general understanding that
the Senate will take the amended in
spection scheme and that the sharp
controversy over the matter is at an
end.

President Roosevelt signed the Okla
homa statehood bill in the presence of
several persons, last Saturday, using a
gold pen to write Theodore, and an
eagle quill pen to write Roosevelt. The
? measure also provides that Arizona and
New Mexico may be admitted to state
hood as the state of Arizona, provided
the people of the territories vote in
favor of admission, on the terms sub
mitted to tfaem by congress.
It is probable that the railroad rate
1)01 will be so amended an to remove oil
f ' pipe lines from the list of common
carriers. That is the result of the
agitation started last week ip behalf of
the independent producers of oil. many
of whom are also the owners of inde
pendent pipe lines.
Under the bill as it now stands pipe
Uimm us made common carriers and are
forbidden to carry freight of their own
# production. Those provisions were
aimed primarily at the members of the
hard coal trust and the Standard Oil
Company. The independent oil men
bave convinced a number of Congress
men that the Standard is so small a
producer of crude oil that the pro
visions of the bill applicable to the
pipe lines will hurt them a great deal
more than they will hurt the Standard.
The Honse passed the meat inspection
f§ measure, Tuesday as agreed upon by
the President and the Speaker, without
i division. The President accepted the
elimination of the provision requiring
W dates on canned goods labels, and con
sented to the coat being placed upon the
»■ Government instead of the packers,
i- The Speaker withdrew the court review
p : '" clause and that permitting the appoint
ment M inspectors tor one year without
dvil service examination, and agreed to
the insertion of an amendment giving
!': inspectors the right to enter packing
plants at all times, whether the same be
is operation or not.
POLITICAL.
||! Vance 0. McOonhick of Harrisburg,
Guffey's choice for Democratic nomi
nee for Governor, has declared for
Emery.
v The Standard Oil Co., according to a
dispatch from Philadelphia, is after
Lew Emery, and will spend a million
to prevent the Democrats from nomi
nating him.
Up In the "ahoe string" Congressional
•' district, composed of Venango, MSrcer,
Warren, Forest and McKean counties,
PjMr. Wheeler, the nominee of forest
county sectored the nomination last
Week, in the same manner as did one of
the Beaver county men in onr old
Congressional district. There were
' three ofttferees from each connty and
Mr Wheeler had those from his own
county and two from Elk, (when he
needed them) so he induced the Mercer
county men to trade votes with him,
and when the proper time came his two
Elk bounty men voted for him, giving
Mm eight in all, and making him the
nominee. It was these tricks at Con
gressional conferences that always made
as favor the popular vot9 of the whole
district— time and ordinary common
aanee to settle the equities—but we
never expected Butler connty to be tied
to a connty to which we are not con
tiguous, and which has double onr vote.
None of the votes cast at the Re
publican primary election at Arnold in
Westmoreland county on June 2. were
tabulated in the official vote. The
committee on contests and protests ap
ppinted at the fcounty convention, met
and decided to throw ont the votes cast
at both polling places.
Ex-Governor Francis' enthusiastic
tribute to Bryan as a national leader for
1908 shows the drift which is sending a
a large portion of the gold element of
the Democracy over to the silver chief
of the canvasses of 1890 and 1900.
Bryan will be feted in New York by the
fold Democrats on his arrival in this
country in Angnst, after his swing
around*the globe. Madison Square
Garden, the largest ball in the city, i*
to be used as his greeting place. Prom
inent Democrats of all factions of the
party and of all sections of tbe country
will be invited to tbe gathering.
> OKLAHOMA came into the Union as
the 40th star, and with abont one mil
lion of a population.
SAN FRANCISCO had four slight
shocks, last Friday.
A Magnificent Victory.*
The magnificent victory of George
F. Huff over Edward E. Robbing at the
primaries in Westmoreland for nomina
tion for Congress and for this district is
of the record-breaking kind. Mr. Huff
bad a majority of 0774, 22:1 more votes
than were cast for Mr. Robbing The
candidates live in Greensburg. Mr.
Huff carried every ward and had a ma
jority of over 600. He carried 80 of the
44) boroughs and 20 ont of the 31 town
ships. The former gave him enough
votes alone to nominate him. Mr. Huff
carried his opponent's home town, West
Newton. The papers in Westmoreland
Were outright for him. with three ex
ceptions, but he carried the three towns
where these papers are located. Elimi
nating the votes in the industrial cen
tors, including those of tbe coal region,
Mr. Huff still would have over 3500
majority.
Their I*roperty or Our Lives?
It would be ridiculous to contend that
President Roosevelt is always right,
bnt he is right oftener than the average
statesman, and in this controversy with
Chairman Wadswortb, of the house
committee on agriculture, concerning
the meat inspection amendment, he is,
to quote from the letters of both, "very,
very" right.
Mr. Wads worth and some of his col
leagues make a great ado about the
"propertv rights'' of the beef barons, as
if property rights were something above
the right of men to life itself.
The right that any man has in prop I
erty is based upon an agreement among j
| men. It is no higher than this agree
ment, which is their law. It is granted
to him that he may have an equal op
portunity with his neighbor to live and
enjoy the fruits of his toil.
In return for this privilege he has of
possessing property he is under obliga
tions to the rest of the people of the
community in which he lives that he
shall not use this property to the
jeopardy of their lives, to the injury of
their health nor to their harm in any
way.
When he does he forfeits his right to
the property that he hold* through the
sufferance of those he sinned against.
He puts himself and his property be
yoij'l the common protection guaranteed
under the agreement that men make
with each otk?r when he violates that
agreement.
Property rights are not sacred as these
beef trust representatives in congress
are now contending. They are snbject
to the rlsht of man to live and he msy
protect his life even to the destruction
of the right of property.
The issue that Wadsworth and the
other representatives of the beef trust
have raised in may be properly
entitled, "The beef barons' property, or
the people's lives?''
And in this which is the sacred or the
higher right?
There is a law recognized by men the
world over as the first law of n\an. It
is known as the l»w of self-defense.
And there is not a syllable in that
which says that when you invoke it
against men who poison the food yon
eat you must respect their "property
rights," which in this case is the gain
they make through the poisoning
The time may come when the Wads
worths in congress and their trust em
ployers will learn that that law is high
er even than tbe constitution itself. —
Leader.
RUSSIA is slowly, but snrely, ap
proaching a revolution. The Donma,
Monday, resolved to pay no attention to
a message from the Czar, dismissing it;
mutinies continue in army and navy,
also massacres of the Jews in the
central districts and a financial crisis
is imminent. The situation is similar
to that preceeding the French Revolu
tion.
Govern or iTocli W ill NT o t Hang
50 Men.
In replying to the open letter written
by Rev. R. A. Ellwood of Leavenworth,
in which the minister demands that the
Governor sign the death warrants of the
60 or more first degree murderers now
under sentence of death "at the will of
the Governor," Governor Hoch on
Tuesday said:
"I shall not decree that these men be
put to death and furthermore will never
decree the hanging of any man. Do
you suppose that if I had a man on the
gallows with my hand on the lever
ready to spring the trap I'd do it? Sup
pose I should say to that poor creature.
'Do you believe in the immortality of
the soul?'and he should answer 'Yes.'
" 'Do you believe in heaven and hell
and that you will go to one or the other
of these places?' and he should say 'I
do.' Do you suppose I would spring
that trap and say 'Go to hell then ?
"Indeed, I would not. What a beau
tiful spectacle it would be to see 50
men, all in a row, hanged at the same
time!
"What a spectacle we have here!"
continued the Governor. "A minister
of the gospel, whose work it is to teach
tenderness, thoughtful consideration of
others, and who is snpposed to emulate
the example of the Savior, suggesting
that the State demand an eye for an
eye and a tooth for a tooth. He had
better read the remainder of the
Savior's injunction along that line."
ACC'IIJENTB.
A son of Charles Eberle of Glenn ave.
was badly bitten on the face by a dog,
yesterday.
John Tnmla had a leg broken at the
new Thorn Creek viaduct, yesterday.
Theodore Frederick was crushed to the
ground at a well in Summit twp. last

Alonzo Hutchens. the victim of the
gas explosion in his bouse on the morn
ing of tbe Bth inst, died at the Hospital,
last Friday morning He was 82 years
of age, and is survived by his wife and
six children.
Arthur Miller, son of J. W. Miller of
Butler, was caught by the flywheel of
an engine on tbe Vogel farm in Butler
twp., last Thursday night, and hurled
against the side of the shanty with such
force that he went through it. His
back and head were terribly bruised,
his left ear torn off; he seemed to be in
jured internaly. but will recover.
During a row on Fairground Avenue,
last Thursday, two foreigners were,
nearly cut to pieces, and two men were

Geo. Varnum's place, and upset and
broke the buggy, spoiled a basket full
of eggs, and hurt Harlan's side. He wijl
be all right in a few days, but it was a
close call. When these automobile peo
ple see that a horse is scaring they
should stop, end if they do &<rt Ihe law
should touch them.
Flora Emminger of Clearfield twp.,
aged 13 years, jumped over a fence, and
landed on a copperhead, which bit her

fell, landing upon Condren, who was !
seated at the foot of tbe stairway. Miss j
Murry was slightly bruised, but Con- j
dren was picked up unconscious, and ,
with his neck broken.
The Cunningham Brothers—
Founders of Butler.
(Continued from last Week.)
During the time this mill was owned ]
by the Cunninghams and perhap3 for j
sometime after, it was the headqnarters '
or place for all meetings of the people, i
whether political or otherwise. County
and local arfairs were here considertd
and nominations for office were made
at this mill. Samuel Cunningham ap- j
pears to have generally acted as the •
Secretary of these meetings and to have '
been .a man of much usefulness to the I
early settlers. The father of the writer '
from his purchase, in 1807, owned and \
operated the mill until 1832. when he
sold it to the lat9 Gen. Robert McNair,
who with three brothers, the late
Thomas. William and James McNair,
operated it to about the year 1850 Then
it became the property of the late Hon.
William Beatty. The late John Mc
Karns, a son-in-law of Mr. Beatty. at
tended it for a few years, and about
1856 it was purchased by the late
Jacob Walter and the late John C.
Grohman. On Mr. Walter's deata, 1865,
his»son Geo. Walter and Mr. -Grohman
operated it until Mr. Grohman sold his
interest to the late Jacob BOM. and Mr.
Boos and George Walter ope rated it
antil Mr. Walter purchased the interest
of Mr. Boos, about 1880 from which
time it was operated by Mr. Waiter and
his sons until his death, 15)08, aud l- now
operated by his said sous, Albert aud
Edward Walter. Steam was introduced
in it some years ago, by Mr. George
Walter we believe, and it is*now one of
the largest mills of its kind in the coun
ty. It stands upou nearly the same
ground that the first small log one built
by the Cunninghams stood. During the
ownership of the father of the writer of
this it, tradition tells us. was washed
away by a high flood in the creek, 1812.
He rebuilt and enlarged it and each suc
cessive owner added somewhat to it.
During the time of the McNairs it was
burned down by a fire, 1842. They re
built acd enlarged it. A woolen mill
had Le?n ad;led to it by the father of
the write* of this, and this too was de
stroyed by tlie sre of 1842
But, as said, a "mill-house" wss also
built at the time the mill was. This
was put across and on the west side of
the creek. Why it was built there was
doubtless because of a fine spring being
there. It stood right in and among the
rocks of the second row we have spoken
of. There were rocks upon the right of
it and upon the left of it and behind it
A notabre one wa« on its south sido
from the top of which the creek could
be setrti aast qnd north. The face of it
was covered witti the the boys
who liked to gather upon it. The nm
railroad route struck it squarely and it
had to go. The house was a frame one,
square and rather large and well built.
Near it stood large oaks, one of which
can yet be seen. A cluster of butternut
trees also stood near and close to the big
rock vet in the creek. But one of them
yet remains. Other wild native trees,
ferns and wild flowers were profuse
around. Small berry trees, the plum
and the cherry prevailing, were plenti
ful, but these have long since disap
peared. The old and, as we believe, the
first honse of Butler also disappeared
about 1830. Where it stood, the found
ation of it. can yet be seen between the
two railroads tracks passing there. A
mother's kind hand probably caused the
peppermint to grow and spread around
this old first house, and growths of that
pungent and aromatic plant can yet be
found in or near its old foundation, ap
pearing reluctant to leave the spot. We
nave never regarded it a very import
ant matter as to when we were born,
but as to where born, we confess that
we feel it an honor to learn, from tradi
tion, that it was in this first house of
Butler. Three older sisters, one of
them yet living among us, and a younger
brother and sister, both deceased, were
also said to have been born in that old
"mill house." We never pass the spot
without realizing the truth of the lines
of the poet which say. "How dear to
memory are the scenes of our childhood
when fond recollection presents them
to view." But all is changed now. "The
Rocks" are nearly all gone; the last
mill-dam is about goiug, all giviDg way
to further railroad extension and other
improvements, and nothing bnt the
place where the old mill-house stood
now remains.
Of the tract of land spoken of, 800
acres, owned by the Cunninghams, they
gave to the County of Butler, when
formed, about 77 acres off its north end
for the purpose of procuring the seat of
Justice here, or County seat as it is call
ed. This north end of their land ex
tended to a line somewhere between
Jefferson and North streets. Exactly
where we cannot state. Bnt from where
we were shown, when a boy, were the
northeast and northwest corners of
their tract we incline to the opinion the
line would be near North street. Ex
cepting about ten acres reserved by
them for what was known as the "Com
mons", near the mill, all had been laid
out into lots and generally sold before
Samuel Cunningham conveyed all re
maining to the father of the writer of
this, as stated. The first Robert Gra
ham gave the balance of the ground up
on which the northern part of our town
now stands. His descendants are yet
among us.
When the streets of the early Jowu
came to be named its people very
nneperly named one of them "Cunning
nam." This was a deserved honor, and
when we look at the names then given
to other streets the honor will be the
more apparent. We have Washington.
Jefferson -nd Monroe streets, so named
after three of our early President*.
Then wo have, McKean and Mifflin
streets, named after two of the first
Governors of Pennsylvania. Then we
have Wayne street, named after Gener
al Wayne, second only to Washington
in Revolutionary service. Then we
have Penn street, so called no doubt
after William Penn. Thus to have the
name of Cunningham associated with
such other illustrious names was a
great honor, but not too great—the
name "Cunningham" deserved it. Their
gifts to tbe connty and to tbe towu were
generous and large. This street "Cun
ningham" is the only enduring monu
ment left to their memory and should
be preserved by our people as such.
While Butler lasts it should last. John
and Samuel Cunningham were single
u<bu and Jeft no descendants here to tell
us who tliey werf and what they did.
Let the name of this street "Cunning
ham" therefore ever remind us of tl;enj
We should not close this urticle with
out making reference to the fact that
through the Cunninghams mainly, xviw
the first road loading from Butler to
Pittsburg made. This road was a due
north arid south one and went direct
sonth from our Main street. It went
straignt up and down, over bill aud val
ley, without regard to obstacles arising
from the lay of the land or nature of
the country. It passed through about
the dividing line* of Jefferson and Penn
and of nJlinton and Middlesex town
ships. Trace? of it ,can yet be seen. We
have some recollection of seeing old
Mr. Robert Graham driving hij team
upon it at a steep place near present
Hospital, So steep was the ground that
he had to rest liiw horses, four bays,
every few rods. TI.IH road gave way,
about 1881. to the old Turnpike road,
that wound more around the hills; and
this old "pike" gave way in time. 1858
U> present Plankroad that was still
more g'raneil 'eveled. These roads
were in their tlrno ti.:, OTiJy ones for
reaching Pittsburg. Loolc 'at tiiw dif
ference now Two railroads running
pow. and two trolley or street car ones
touting, with electricity as their motive
power, to earry people, and perhaps
freight soon, to PiHstturg. What next?
If in the al>ove we have given to our
people any knowledge of John aud
Samuel Cunningham, who did so much
lin founding the town of Butler, and if
we have in any way aided in keeping
alive their memory with onr future
people, we have accomplished our pur
pope in this writing. The removal of
Ihc rej£?i ( ns of John Cunningham to
their new 'resting nbjee will probably
cause his grave to be knovyu i..;' his
memory preserved for another hundred
years. But for how much longer after
that ? Who can tell ?

I If there is one occupation which
i Englishmen are unanimous in con
j demning as degraded and degrading it
1 is that most fascinating, most difficult,
j delicate and important work, the train
ing of the mind. In what are humor
ously called "the higher walks" of
teaching there are respectable salaries
to be earned and agreeable rooms or
houses for occupation. Here, purged
of the dross of utility, a man may once
more take rank as a gentleman, and
if he becomes head of a house the su
preme uselessness of his position com
mands universal and silent respect.—
