President McKinley nttondod tho Momurinl day ceremonies nt Arling ton cemetery, where nddressos were delivered by Representative Dolli vor, of Iowa, and Hon. Webster Davis, Assistant Secretary of tho Interior. Mr. Tracey L. Joffords was orator of the day nt the Sold ior's Homo Comotory, nnd tho nil dress nt tho special gor vices nt the tomb of (ton. John A. Logan was dolivered by Mr. J. S. Wnrd At Congressional cemetery orations wore delivered by Senator Cannon, of Utah, nnd Hon. J. A. Frenr, of Wisconsin, and President Lincoln's Gettysburg address was read by Capt. W. O. Protsingor, of tho D ) partinontof Texas G. A. K. At St. Elizabeth's cenntc.ry Mr. T. J. Put nam wns the orator. At Oak Hill cemotory tho oration was by Re presentative W. H. King, nnd nt Harmony cotnetery by Kov. Goo. W. Leo. The Sonato has made good progress In considering the tariff bill by para graplis, nud tho rule adopted by the Republicans to have the stooring committeo ngroo each night upon the nature of the paragraphs that are to be voted upon tho next day is working like a charm. The Com mittee has been sustained in every vote tnkon by tho solid Republican vote nnd in every instance has also boon supported by some Populists or Democratic votes. Tho tendency of the stooring committee has boon to raise tho duties above what they wore in the amended bill reported to the Sonato, and it now looks as though the bill would not differ vory widely from the Dingloy bill as passed by tho House when it bo comes a law. There has boon so much Ropubli can objection to tho Increase of tho tax on boor and to the proposed duty on ton. that both may bo struck out of tho tariff bill and the rovonue that they would have realized be provided for in some other way, probably by a tax on bank checks, doeds, mortgages and other convey ances, but this has not yot boon fully determined upon j it is only being discussed. Senator Aldrioh, speaking for the sub-cominittoo that prepared the amendments to the Dingloy bill, in cluding tho sugar schedule, in roply to Senator Tillman's sensational in sinuation, mado the most positive denial that tho sub-oommittee was influenced by the sugar trust or its agents, and stated that only one man outside of the throe members of the sub-oommittce (himself and Senators Allison and Piatt of Conn.) knew what tho contents of the sugar schedule were before the bill wus reported to the Senate. That man was Senator Jones, of Nevada, who is a member of the Finance Com mittee, having been originally put on the committee as a Republican and left on as a Populist, after his announcement that he had become a member of that party. Sonator Aldrich also stated that tho sub committee would welcome the most searching investigation of the man ner in which tho sugar schedule was prepared. The Somite will de cide, probably this wook, whether the Tillman resolution, directing nn investigation by a special committee of five Senators, shall be adopted. It is probable that it will be, al though nothing wius accomplished by the other sugar investigation by the SvUiate three years ago, and the head of the sugar trust walked out of court last week on a verdict of " not guilty " when ha was triod for contempt in refusing to answer questions asked by members of the Senate Committee. Sjnator Morgan made an exhibi tion of himself, and was compelled to take his seat by Senator Gallinger, who was presiding over the Senate at the time. Mr. Morgan has a b id case of Rood on his brain. He vio lated one of the rules of the Sonato by specifically referring to the othor branch of Congress and its failure to act as Mr. Morgan thinks it ought to act upon legislation that has boon acted upon by the Sonato. It is denied at the State Deport- tnuut that the Sultan of Turkey has refused to receive lion. James Ii. Augull. formerly president of the University of Michigan, ns U. 8. minister. The stories to that effect probably originated with those wiio nro interested in having thnt very thing occur nnd who have been try ing to fill tho Turkish minister's mind with distrust of Mr. Angoll, in order to bring it nbout. It is stated that Dr. Angoll has engaged passago on a steamer which sails from New York June 11th nnd expects to start for Constantinople on that day. Representative Lewis, James Ham ilton Lewis he writes it, of the State of Washington, the man who hnd tho temerity to attempt to help Jorry Simpson get periodic illy tumbled over by Speaker Rood, is nbout ns near to being the " talking mo chine " ho is called nt ciy nun who ever sat in either branch cf Con gress.

Dr. Porsifor Fr.tzor of Philadel phia who ha j considerable real es tate interests in this county being a mombor of the E.lgemore club and the owner of a coitago noor Milford and who ooca liorally visits our town, has an ortlo in a recent issue of the Legnl Iutelligonoer entitled Standard of Inks. In it ho discusses the characteristics noeossnry for a durable and lasting ink, nnd strong ly roccommetids that a standard for inks to be used in documents to be preserved for a long time bo estab lished, so as to insure the safety of valuable records. He states that the in ks of the past century were much bettor in quality in respect to durability than many of tho writing fluids which began to lie introduced about twonty years ago, when the anilinos were forcing their way into every industry which dealt on color, and many of the anilines of that day have completely adod by this ti mo. We can heartily subsoribo to the sentiments he so well expresses, Our inks soom to b e in one respoct at least manufactured expressly to aid tho sale of pons, whether the ink makers and ron dealers are in league wo do not know, but it is a fact that a pon is, in a vory few days eaten up with tho fluid. Thon too tho ink seems to be sticky nnd in an ordinary stand, soon becomes thick and unfit for use. Big money re mains for tho gouius who invonta an ink which will stand tho tost of time, and will not corrode tho bot tom of a glass stand. A lot of now straw and folt hats at W. & G. Miteholl's.

BUSHKILL BRIDGE LETTING. iilut Meethif of tin- lla.triln mill the Contract A ward !. Hie adjourned meeting to further muidor tho plans nnd accept ft bid )T building the Bu-thkill bridge nnd stone work wax held at St.roudsburg hursdoy May 27. Monroe county wen represented by her three com missioners B. F. Miller, Jacob Hart- man nnd Samuel Roinhart and their clerk Henry Huffim n, Piko by Wal- aoe Newman, JanuM Heller and J. Bensley and Clerk G. A. Swepon- izer. The plans a:id pricjs were the Himo as oitorou nc uie previous mc eting in Pike. For the two first ballots Hartman, Miller nnd Bonsley votod for plan C of the Groton Company, price $1,783. This bridge is 82 foot long with a 16 foot roadway nnd a 9 foot truss. The specifications call for 82 foot bo- twoon tho abutments honoe this bridge would go nicoly botwoon them-to the bal of tho crook. New man, Hollor and Roinhart voted for plan D 1 of tho Pittsburg Company 85 foet long, 18 feet roadway nnd 16 foot trusses. This bridge would rest on the abutment on oithorsido, foot 6 inches, nnd while not so closo a lit would look far handsomer and bo of infinitely more service than one 82 foot long which would just nicely drop botweon On the third ballot Bensley changed his vote to plan A. Groton Company, 82 foet long, price $1,750, and on tho fourth ballot Hartman nd Miller also voted for Groton plan A, and the balloting re mained tho sauio until tho 23rd which was takon S iturday morning when Hartman and Miller voted for plan B Groton Company, price 1,- 520 which was ft very light bridge and wholly unsuitable for the loca tion. Bensley voted for plan A price tl,750 Groton Company of course. On tho 25th and last ballot Hart man voted with .Newman, teller and Roinhart for Pittsburg bridg.e plan D 1 for 1,G87 whilo Miller and Bensley remained true to their an cient lov the Groton at lH,750. After tho 22nd ballot Friday after noon a motion was made by Millor to adjourn to moot at somo future time. This was socondod by Bons ley, but Hartman voted no, with Roinhart, Newman and Hollor, so tho adjournment foil through. Miller nnd Bonsloy thereupon left the mooting, and it became nocos sary to adjourn until evening but at that meeting no ballots were taken a id tho noxt mooting took place Saturday morning. 1 he Pittsburg Bridge Co. agreed in order to do away with some objoo tions ns to a high trass, to furnish heavier bridge for which tho prioo is fl.os.J, and to put it up for the same ns tho one ottered for l,087. In other words tlioy give a bridgo, the price of which is $196 more than tho one spocinou in tho plan. lhe mason work win then con tractod to Palmer and Hartman for $3.44 per cubio yard. A rough os tim ate places the cost of this as bo twc3n $700 and $800. Comment on the above is unnoc essniy. lhe reader can readily dis cern tha trend of the balloting, and it remains for Messrs. Miller and Bensley if they care to do so, and know the motives which actuated them, to explain why thoy persist ently, with one exception on the part of Millor, voted for a higher pncod bridge too short for the place. and with only a 16 foet roadway, when the spt eifications called for an 85 feet bridgo with nn 18 feet road way.
