WASHINGTON
will not occur nitrch before the 2nd
or 3rd of July. Afier three months
of uncertainty as to Its fate, the bill
admitting the territories of AriisoDa
and New Mexico to statehood wss
taken op by the Senate on Thursday
and passed, after a brief debate, of
not more than two hours, and thns
two more lnrge territories are added
to what is called the "Sisterhood of
States." All the speeches were fav
orable tn the creation of the two
atHtea, bnt the Democrats of the Seu
ate favored the 'House bilk As
ptisved the bill provides (or the admis
slori as state of the two territories
after a constitution has been adopted
by ascb of them, which constitution
musl. be approved by the President
anil ratified by Congress. There will
tie wild rejoicing in Arizona and
New Mexico, for only a few days
ago hope of achieving statehood dur
ing the present session of Congress
had bean given up.
After the adjournment of Congress
there will be prompt departure from
Washington of the members of the
Cabinet and other prominent rfllrwtrs
connected with the oivil, military
and naval srrvice of the govern
menl. Tfce Secretary of Wrar left
Washington for a trip around the
world. He will visit the Philippines
Russia, Siberia, China and Europe,
sailing on June 28 by tho Pacific
iiail Hteamphlp Line. He is accom
pa hied by hia wife and son. Briga
dier General Edwards, who has
charge of the Bureau of Insular
Affairs, with Mrs. - Edwards and
their daughter, will accompany the
War Secretary. Gen, Edwards baa
often made the trip, on. two occasions
accompanying President Taft, who
was at that time Secretary of War.
The President and Mrs. Taft will go
to their New England home. The
ambassadors and other representa
tives of foreign oruntries will dis
perse to the seashore and monntnln
resorts aud the capital will see them
no more until the middle of Septem
ber or first of October. Many Wash
ingtouiau have left the city to be
present al the festivities incident on
the return of ex-President Roosevelt
after his fifteen months' absence.
It is believed In official circles that
Secretary of State Knox will welcome
tbe opportunity to depart from nat
ional diploma tic life afforded by the
nomination for governor of Pennsyl
vauia wliioh he may receive. It is
suspected that Mr. Knox finds a dip
lomatio life bat little to his liking.
Prior to his coming to Washington
i luring McKlnley's first admimrtra-
t ion, his experience had been entire
ly provincial and local, and it is prob
able that social and diplomatic rela
tiom largely with representative ol
oilier governments, who know Eog
nsh very imperfeotly, the Secretary
binveif being confined to his vernac
ular, make his duties doubly onerous.
Mncb interest is experienced in po
litical and local circles with refer
ence to the appointment of a Justice
f tbe Supreme Court to succeed
Ju-tice Moody, who, it Is understood
Kill probably never be able to resume
his duties on the Su rame bench. A
l HI has been introduced In Congress
to pension him. It is expected that
President Taft will be trndnr tbe tie
cesaity of appointing bis successor,
bnd in case he does it will be the
third Justice of the highest court in
the country that he has appoiufed
during the first fifteen months of hia
prenid: noy. It is very probable that
oeford tbe end of his term he may be
called upon to appoint still other jus
tices of the Supreme Court because al
least tbi i of those on tbe Bench are
very near tbe age of superannuate n.
The Senate Is lapidly disposing of
the measures originally proposed In
the meaaage of President Taft. Th
conservation bill was put upon iU
nal passage early last week, and-on
Ihune-luy the railway bill was dis

publish."
Notwithstanding the long distances
travelled and the many public duties
that Mr. Roosevelt has had to meet
during hi European tour, he has
found time thoroughly to read and

will be in this volume considerable
material which has not appeared In '

Science in Farming
The farmer of Pennsylvania are
lowing tkelr faith- tn agricultural
lunation by sending several hun
dred of their Bona to the School of
Agricultuie in The Pennsylvania
State College. The growth of this
school In this state institution has
been remarkable. Th criticism
made of some state agricultural
schools that they train boys wholly
away from the farm will not apply
to Pennsylvania. One hundred and
seventy of the four hundred and seventy-nine
atudenta enrolled In the
School of Agriculture last year took
courses that fit. only for rural life,
while a considerable percentage of
the remaining number, who are tek
ing the four years' college course,
eXi ect to engage in some department
of practical farming.
The Two Years' Course in Agricul
lure attracts young men who have
not been able to prepare for a four
years' course, and it fits men for
practical work only and not for pro
fessional Ufa A booklet has been
prepared for free distribution that de
scribes the work offered in this course
and it presents some fine illustrations
that are descriptive of the work in
the Suhool of Agriculture, Students
are shown engaged in livtack judg
ing, horticultural work and other
practionm. An excellent piotnr of
the students engaged lu military
drill I shown on the last cover page.
This attractive booklet may be se
cured without charge by sending a
postal eard request addressed to
Suhool of Agriculture and Experi
ment Station, State College, Centre
Co., Pa, Every young man who
want to know the science of agrl
culture and it useful application,
and who has not the advantage of

Sandyston is not the only town
having trouble In school matters.
Deckertown B of E. met and ousted
its President, and the principal en
gaged by the Old Board, and hired a
new principal. Hore we have hired
enough teachers to run our schools,
but some of the teaohers accepted
other schools, and one or two will
ge married so that abont one half of
our schoola have ns teachers, and in
oneof.onr schools fully nlne-tenlhs
of th patrons are not lb favor of the
teacher engaged. Snch action Is det
rimental to the school,

aronnd bis premises, and he has
some.
Most people charge for their stone
fences, etc. Another thing, the tel
ephone lines will have to remove
some of their poles, as they will bi
in tho way.
It is with pleasure that the patrons
of the mail route from Milford to
Brtmchville saw John Hoffman Id
charge of the mail on Saturday. Kind
and affable to all he makes an ideal
mail arid stage driver, and it is ru
moied that he will have charge of
this route.
Farmers complain that It had been
too dry, and now it is too wet. The
people cannot cultivate their corn on
account of the reoeut rains, and so
ninch of it has been replanted,
Mrs Montrose of Newtou is stay
ing with her daughter Mrs J. J.
Vansiekle at Layton, but will move
with her 'daughter to Bevans this
week.
Mrs. Montroe had a leg amputated
nesr the body, bat is in good physic
al health otherwise.
The Grange, at Layton, was to
bave bad a suit on the 14th inst, but
was adjourned to the 23rd. What is
tbe matter it issue I have net
learned.
The Grange dance on the evening
ef the 16th Inst waa all that conld be
desired. Their rooms were crowded

prevailed.
Will Cose, of Newton, will take
full charge of the Bevans hotel on
Tuesday of this week.
Mrs. Pierson will dispose of her
personal effects on tbat day, and Mr.

The terrific, wind and rain storm on
Saturday leveled many trees, and a
good many gardens were badly dam
aged. Well, we are In sight of the new
road from Tattles Corner to Layton.
The Contractor haa engaged rooms
for himself and family at the Lavton
hotel, and if report la true will com
menca work at Layton this week. It
ia thought tbe road will be ohanged
a little In order to save the beautiful
row of maples alongside the road
from G. E. Harsha to the village.
Their Inferiority Proven
Direct, positive and convincing
proof of the great superiority of the
white over the colored raoe is shown
by the subjects (elected for their
dissertations at recent college com
mencements by candidates for liter
ary degrees, At Columbia. N. Y.,
such subjects as "Tbe Phytogeny of
Certain Centbidae". "The Bellum
Civile of Petronias.' "Grammar of
the Coos language of Oregon" and
"4 and 6 Acetamino Arebantloranils
and Quiuazolinea Derived there
from," while at the Tuscagee Insti
tute presided over by Dr. Booker
Washington the topics were "Manag
ing a Dairy." "The advance of the
Boll Weevil." "Growing flowers
for an Occupation" and "My last
Summer Work,' Each of the above
was illustrated by fit tage settings
and Ibe speakers were attired to cor
respond with the toplo. After read
ing the above no one can hesitate to
declare that Ilia colored students in
universities are in the dark ages
while their white compeers are fully
abreast of the strenuous times.

j ROOSEVELT'S
RECEPTION
Perhaps in years no more marked
evidence cf popular regard has beeu
shoWD any citizen of this country
than was accorded last Saturday In
New York when ex President Roose
velt returned after an absenco of 15
months. The bay was covered with
craft of all descriptions from yachts
lo the gigantic war vessels which
thundered a mighty welcome. The
din of ifeam whistle, the roar of tbe
irt ns, tbe ringing of bells, and th
acclaim from tens of thousands of
throats greeted him as h landed at
the Bnttery. The parade up Broad,
way between ranks of citizens who
were prcs nt to do him honor waa
like the return of tome mighty ool
queror .after achieving success in
saving his cour.try. This spontane
ous welcome proves huu the most
popular figure in the nation to-day.
Abroad he wus everywhere greeted
in a most cordial manner by crowned
h?ads and civic and learned bodies
vied with each other in demonstra
tions of regard. Amid all he has
borne himself as a true American,
not puffed np or vaunting bnt digni
fied and impressive not alone In man
ner but in ppnecb. Probably hia
strength lies in his directness and
.siocerityr Some msy oavil at his
methods, aud decoy his outspoken
manner bat all feel that he is a man
of straight forward purpose and hon
est intentions, a manly man and an
example to be imitated. Shonld he,
as no other man today, or perhaps in
this goLerulion can, set himself to
the task cf bringing among tho
nations an agreement whereby tho
vast armies aud navies which are so
burdensome to the people and so
great a tax on prosperity may be re
duced aud the men now supported in
idleness be emp'oyed on farms, in
workshops aud mines, and the power
'.f steam now used to propel warships
nd destroyers be utilized to turn
the wheels cf commerce and oarrr
the products of catkins one to the
other hia name would go down in
history in a light before which all
others would pule and grow dim.
The world is advancing bnt the bnr;
len of warlike preparations weighs
like an incubus on the people and
aiust increase unless some giant
mind can bring about Ibe consensus
of opinion which will curtail the ex
pansion of armies and make Dread
naughts peaceful bearers of oliva
branches.
Marvelous Discoveries,
mark the wonderful progress ol tho
jge. Air flights on heavy machines,
telegrams without wire?, terrible
war inventions to kill men, and that
tvonder of wonders Dr. King's New
