( From Our Regular Corrospnntlant.)
Washington, April 12. President
MeKinley returned from his little
outing much improved. Thoweiith
cr was more or less disagreeable
during the entire time he spent on
tlio Dolphin, lint ho pot what he
went nfter find what ho needed most
rest, ilo wilt nt hit desk to tin. y
looking fresher tlmn for scvcnil
weeks.
Jerry Simpson made nn ntten)t
1 1 prove that ho was a liiiiK-r ninn
tlmn the entire House, hut. ho only
proved himself n monkey. ilo
thought, or rnllicr ho thought thnt
ho thought, thnt he could compel
Speaker Heed to appoint tlio Com
mittees nnd the House to go iiheiid
with miscellaneous business, nl
though n mnjority had decided thnt
the legislation of tht extra session
Hhonld ho confined to passing the
left-over appropriation bills and the
tariff hill, both of which tho House
has done. Jerry mule the point, of
'li t qivinim" to prevent, the House
adjourning from Saturday to Wed
nesday, but Speaker Heed had no
difficulty in counting a quorum, and
Jerry found himself down while
tho House adjourned. Whether ho
intends to get himself knocked down
every tinio the Houso meets just for
the notoriety there is in it, is yet to
lx? seen. It is evident that Speaker
Iteed regards Jerry merely as an
"amusing little cuss."
Secretary Alger, under whoso di
rection tho $200,000 appropriated
last week by Congress for tho relief
of sufferers by tho floods in tho
Mississippi vnliey will ho spent lost
no time in putting tho machinery of
the War Deimrlment to work in or
der that prompt relief might lie x
tonded, wherever needed. It may
bo a hard thing to say,- but it is
strictly true that tho Cleveland ad
ministration was responsible for
much of tho damage dono by tho
Mississippi river floods, by its policy
of delay in spending money appro
priated by Congress to . strengthen
and raiso up tho levees along the
Mississippi river at, those points
where United States Engineer ofli
cers had reported tho necessity of
such work. Reports are on file in
tho War Department lrom Engineer
officers, mixta after Congress had
appropriated tho money, urging that
contracts bo mado and tho work
pushed ou these levees, but it was
the Cleveland-Carlisle policy to hold
back appropriations as long as possi
ble, and these floods came beforo the
levees had lxicn completed A num
ber of the breaks are at tho points
reported weak by tho Engineers and
ordered to bo strengthened by Con
gress. For all tho damage done by
these particular breaks, the Cleve
land administration is clearly re
sponsible. President MeKi nicy's announced
policy of reinstating nil ex-Union
soldiers who were dismissed from
office by tho Democrats for no other
reason thnn their politics, is being
carried out in nil of the government
departments as fast as tho bends of
the departments can get around to
tho eases. In the cases of the chiefs
of divisions, the Democrats are being
given better trcatmout thnn they
gave Republicans. They are allowed
to remain in office, in a lower powi
tion, instead of being dismissed, as
o many Republicans were under
the last administration.
A Republican Senator shaking of
the talk in regard to tho appoint
ment of Hon. Theodore Iloosovelt
to be Assistant Secretary of the
Navy being likely to make trouble,
said : "Roosevelt mny make trouble
in the Navy Department, but if be
does it will be in tho interests of a
better administration of its affairs,
just as be has ninde trouble for tho
law breakers of New York city who
bail long enjoyed police protection.
I notice that in rill tho trouble
stirred up by Roosovelt, ho has al
luid tho support of those who be
lieved in showing up or-d reforming
wrongdoing wherever found, and 1
am willing to stand behind all the
trouble he makes in the Navy De
partment." Mr. Cleveland's order reducing
the number of Pension Agencies,
w hieh was to go into effect on the
1st of next September, will never go
into effect. Pension Commissioner
Kvnns has ascertained by investiga
tion that instead of saving money, as
Mr. Cleveland claimed, it would cost
more to support tho consolidated
agencies. Ho said on the subject:
'While I have no authority tospeak
for the President, I have excellent
reasons for believing that the order
will net go into effect, and that the
eighteen pension agencies will re
main a-t they are." Commissioner
Evans also says that Mr. ( 'leveland's
order placing Pension Examining
surgeons under the civil service
rules will be revoked, except bi the
eases of examiners who receive $:t(0
n year or less. j

A bill has passed the Houso re
quiring constables to make returns

Our Supremo Court has decided
that tho same law applicable to
vehicles in approaching railroad
crossings must bo observed by
wheelmen. They must "stop look

to insure the protection of tho law.

To Correspondents.
We have received a communica
tion from Dinginans in regard to the
School House at Coles, which is well
written but in no :i.i;n.s accompanies
it, under our rule not, to publish
anonymous communications it is
withheld. Correspondents must un
derstand that unless Iho name is
given, not for publication neeo-i-sarily
but as a guaranty of good
faith to the Editor, wo canrtot
print, their efforts, much ns wo
would liko to, or h nvover moritori
ous newsy or well written they may
bo. This rulo is well established
among newspapers, frequently nl
luded to, nnd wo wonder why thoso
who n rouble to write will persist in
ignoring it. If through ignorance
wo beg them to read the papers, if
by carelessness to cultivate more
methodical habits, nnd if wi'fnllv
done wo assure thorn. theif persif-;
tattoo will not avail. We nro glad
to receive letters on subjects of local
or general interest, but roniomber
the namo of tho writer must, yen,
verily, must, in nil cases accompany
tho letter. Just put it on a little
slip if you do not wisli to have it at
tached to the letter, and it will never
be seen by other eyes than our own.
Stranger Than Fiction.
Tho Blairstown Press in demon
strating that truth is stranger thnn
fiction relates an incident of Mr.
Snover who was the recipient of iflO
from somo conscience stricken chap
who stole monoy from him some ill
years ngo and now to ease bis mind
returns it with interest. Tho other
is tho case of tho Frodonburg girl of
Delaware township who nnswored
an advertisement in a newspaper
for a wife, met the advertiser,
niarriod him nnd departed for tho
West, nnd is now happy and rich.
The father ami mother wo believe
drove to their western homo to join
the daughter. It m;iy have all
turned out ns pictured, but we once
hoard a man of experience remark
when some one was relating a lucky
incident which sonnded rather in
credible. "Well a fool for luck and
if you don't want to be classed in
that crowd just avoid taking any
such chances."

Mrs. Emma Bell E'lett, wife of
Henry M. Kllett, of Noniaivick, died
quite suddenly nt her homo on Fri
day, April Dili, a little after noon, at
the advanced nan of (is years.
Mrs. Kllett bad enjoyed fairly
good health during the winter, until
n few days since, when the weak-
ness of age became apparent, and tmli;;; ZZ ' "

Mrs. Kllett was a woman of well-
balanced mind, and strong domestic
tendencies. The home, nnd fmuilv
felt the kindly influences of her firm,
hut loving guidance. She imparted
to her olTspring strong physical
powers, as well ns active mental
faculties, and their consequent suc

there had not. been a death in the
family for over years, that, bein.r

New Hymnals.
The New Hymnals of the Pres
byterian Congregation were used
last Sunday. Samie murmurs are
I heard because a number of books
without notes wero supplied fair use
in tha pews. Possibly in the in
terest of a higher musical education
among tho members it might have
been as well to have supplied them
with the notes. Then too there are
many city people who perhaps
would bo better pleased with such
books, and the service might have
been, to that extent at least, rend
ered more attractive.

Hoi Glass Bottles Are Mads
Have yoa ever seen glass bottles
made? It is very simple when you
know how and havo the necessary
tools. A big kettle is filled with
(,'lass, whiih is melted until it is
like molasses and is red hot. Then
a bio; lump is taken upon a long
piece of iron pipe and is dropped
into a mold. The man who drops
it in blows through the pipe to
make tho bottle hollow, and then
tho mold is opened and the bottle
is taken out. A neck has to be put
on it another bottle bus to be baked
to make it strong. There are many
boys of only 8 or 9 years working
upon the bottles to smooth the tops
ready for the neck.
