Treasury Gage after his return from Milwaukee n ml asked tlie secretary to somewhat further elucidate his financial creed ns given to the American Banker's association. Mr. Gage replied that he hardly eared to go into the subject more extensive ly at this time as lie whs just prepar ing his annual report and thnt to so would le to "stent the thunder" from thnt. "Then I understand that an elucidation of those Ideas nnd the methods by whieh they mny he ear ned out will form the chief topic of your report?" was asked. "Not pre cisely. I did not say that," the sec retary replied. "Hut substantially?" "Well, to tt considerable oxtent." "Mr. Hecretary, the papers Opposed to the ndminstration nre charging you with favoring the bankers at the expense of the people and tnat by your system you would put the peo ple entirely in the power of the ban kers." "Of course, that was to be expected. Hut thnt arises from a wrong conception of the facts. Those papers don't, or won't, appreciate that the prosperity of the hankers de pends upon the prosperity of the peo ple, that their interests are identical." "Would you not place in the hands of the bankers the power to inflate or contact the currency at will?" "Mi idea is simply to get the government out of the banking business. That is not its province nnd it is the province of the banks. Hut you must wait for my annual report for further details." Speaking of financial conditions In the west, Mr. Gage said that he found everything extremely satisfactory, thnt there was no evidence "that crop failures would result in an increase of farm mortgages, and In fact the re publican prosperity showed every evidence of continuing at the flood." The secretary further said: "We have right here in the treasury a barometer which is never failing in the demand for bills of small denom inations. We are working our force at the bureau of engraving and print ing two hours overtime and the mill that manufactures the paper on which they are printed is turning out four million extra sheets per day and still we cannot supply the demand. Thnt is the best evidence in the world that the crops are moving smoothly and that money is in general circulation. Yes there is abundant prosperity in the west." President Roosevelt returned from New Haven Thursday morning and on Friday morning held the first fully attended cabinet meeting of his administration, He somewhat sur prised his cabinet by the announce ment that he would write his entire message himself instead of calling upon the various members to write those portions dealing with the work of their respective departments. He further stated that it was his inten tion to state the facts without making recommendations, in regard to sever al of the Important matters congress would have to consider. He mid some excerpts from the message and the Impression of his advisers was thut the paper would be a conserva tive, terse production, probably somewhat shorter than has hereto fore been the case. It is said that he will recommend the establishment of of a department of commerce and industry. Refore committing himself on the reciprocity treaties, it is his desire to learn the views of prominent republi- I can senators, and to that end he has summond a number to the White House. The Hay-Pauneefote treaty will also be liberally discussed. The president has hud a conference with Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, who, it will be recalled, advised President McKinley that the senate was not favorable to any more recip rocity treaties or to any revision of the Dingley tariff bill. What he ad vised President Roosevelt is not known although tt great deal of curi osity attaches to his cull. An iiiiiortant change in the state department is announced in the resig nation of the third ussi-stunt secre tary, Mr. Thomas W. Cridler, and tlin ikiii.i.iiilitii.iit in bis liliiee of Mr. Herbert H. 1). Pierce of Mass uehusetts, now first secretary of the American embassy at St. Petersburg. The statement is nmue that Mr. Crkller's resignation was culled for by Secretary Hay as a result of what hi! considered luck of judgment on Mr. Cridler's part in the handling of claims of American citizens, against the Sultan of Morocco. Secretary Hoot returned to his desk on Wednesday and found many im portant affairs awaiting him, the chief lieing the disposition nt troops for the Philippines. The expiration of terms of enlistment during the next three months will reduce the forces by about 10,000 men, and in view of the recent trouble in Samar and the recommendations of Lieut. Gen. Miles, Adjt. Gen Corbin and (Jen. MacArthur, it has been deter mined to maintain the present strength of nbout 40,000 men until further developments warrant its reduction. No increase is contem plated, hut it will be necessary to es tablish numerous small garrisons in order to effectually police the islands ami maintain order. Senor Huretto, chief translator for the provost mar shal general of Manilla, and a native Filipino, is in Whashington and ex presses the belief that for some time to come a stronger hand than exer cised by the civil commission will be needed, lie says that the Filipinos have so long been used to Spanish methods that they are incapable of understanding kindness and that the strict discipline and military display of the nrmy is essential to their con trol. Representative Hopkins of Illinois, who is in Washington, has made public his intention of introducing, dining tlie first week of the coming congress, a bill providing for the per manent establishment of the census bureau. His bill will further in struct the civil service commission to place on the classified list the em ployes, about two thousand, that are now on the rolls of the census bureau. In a measure the proposed bill is a compliment to the efficiency and bus iness methods of the present director, William R. Merriam, who would re tain his post at a salary of $7,500 per year. Mr. Hopkins, who is chair man of the committee on ways and means, also stated that lie was op posed to all legislation looking to a decrease of the revenue, that with the isthmian canal to build, a river and harbor bill to pass anil possibly some ship subsidies to take care of he considers any reduction of revenue "a very foolish business." It has been made known at tlie navy department that Rear Admiral Crowninshield will be transferred from his position as chief of the bureau ol navigation and that he will lie succeeded by Rear Admiral Henry C. Taylor. Admiral Crowninshield will be given command of the Euro pean station. Writing Compositions. "Children," said the teacher, while instructing the class in composition, "you should not attempt any flights of fancy, but simply lie yourselves, and write what is in you. Do not imitate any other person's writings or draw inspiration from outside sources." As a result of this advice Johnny Wise turned in the following com position: "We should not attempt any flites of fancy, but rite what is in us. In me thare is my stummick, lungs, hart, liver, two apples, one piece of pie, one stick lemon candy nnd my dinner." Baltimore American. Spreads Like Wildfire.

Iieon Czolgowt, the assassin of Pres ident McKinley, was put to'death in the electrical chair at Auburn, N. Y., prison Tuesday morning at about o'clock. Only four minutes elapsed from the time he was led from his cell before he was dead. He made no statement beyond saying that he did not repent of the deed and was stoical and sullen in demeanor. The body was buried in the prison ceme tery and will be destroyed by the use of acids with which it was surround ed. All the effects of the criminal were burned so that the memory of the assassin may be speedily effaced from the public mind. If he sought lasting notoriety, and it is difficulty to imagine what motive prompted him to commit the crime, he will have failed of his subject. Deserted in his extremity by his former asso ciates, he died an outcast and his name, covered wittr ignominy, will soon.be forgotten. 1 here Is nothing in his life, its end or the memory of it thut will stimulate any one to emulate his example.

In a conversation held recently with Mr. White, a newoomar to our town aud a man of various attain ments and much practical knowl edge, some useful information was gained. At this time of year when ooal and wood fires are being start ed for the winter difficulty is often experienced in securing the proper draught, A piece of ziuo burned in the stove is an easy and inexpensive method of obviating the difficulty, because the fumes arising from the burning zine are of such a nature as to consume the superfluous accumu lations iu the chimney. Mr. White owns a complete set of surgical in struments and seveial times in cases of emergency has nsed them with the efficiency of a stilled sur geon. Died Unrepentant. Czolfcoss died in apparent indiffor- Giico to the crime he had committed. As he was being seated in the chair he looked around at the witnesses with a steady stare and said : "I killed the president because he was an enemy of the good people of the working people. I am not sorry for my crime," he said loudly as his head was pushed back against the rubber headrest and then mumbled, I'm sorry I could not see my father." The current was then turned on and in a few seconds he was pronounced dead. The autopsy disclosed a normal brain develop ment and no indication of insanity. He was just a wicked, senseless, murderous devil.

Out In western New York farmers have hardly begun husking corn. Plowing, gathering the turnip crops, both of whieh seem poor, are occupy ing their attention.

Buffalo Visitors. Visitors at the Pan-American have had beautiful weather for a number of days, and large numbers have en joyed the trip and sights at the grounds.

The exhibits are many of them in teresting and educational and those who have not availed themselves of the opportunity to visit the exhibition have really lost a pleasant and profit able outing.

Promptly at that h'-ur thc bride nnd groom, attended by Theodore Bnker as best man, Miss Pauline W. Bourniquo, a cousin of the bride, ns maid of honor, and Gertrude Wood and Merritt Quinn ns flo-ver girl Hnd boy, entered the parlor to the strains of the Lohen grin wedding march, which was played by Miss Pauline Frieh, and took theit places under a flornl horse shoe ; George Wood and Madge Emerson aided with the aisle of rib bon and Bestric! de Berlilo bore the ring on a silver salver. The bride was given away by her fnther, Charles H. Wood. The bride wns attired in a handsome gown of India silk made en train and trimmed with applique nnd chiffon and she carried a bou quet of white carnations. Her travelling costume wns of black broadcloth. The bridesmaid wore a gown of organdie and the flower girl and ring bearer were also at tired in white, while the groom and best ninii were attired in the cus tomary black. An elegant wedding supper was served at whioh the waitresses were Miuses Jennie B. Goble of Port Jervis, Mary V. Squires of Matamorns and Virginia Bournique.

It is rumored that New York par ties, in conjunction With persons here, contemplate establishing a line of automobiles in the valley. It would seem as though such a project would pay. The machines will carry from 12 to 10 passengers, they can be run at a good speed and can make several trips daily. Riding in them would be more confortable than in stages besides being a saving in time. We hope the scheme will materialize, Next to a trolley or steam roud a line of this character would be a great convenience.
