THE ANNEXATION OF GUATE-
MALA.

The object of President Barrios visit
To Washington. it is understood, was to
open the way if possible for the annexa-
tion Of Guatemala to the United States.
There was a time, and not long ago,
when the extension of our domain was
the ambition of statesmen, but hereafter
the territory added to our republic will
probably come to us at the earnest re-
quest of its inhabitants, rather than at
the solicitation of our own people. Qua
tealala has dispute with Mexico as to
the boundary between them, and Presi-
dent Barrios wishes to secure the good
Offices of the United States to save the
Guatemalans from an unfavorable decis-
ion. As Gen. Grant says, the United
States could not well refuse to decide the
question in dispute if Guatemala and
Mexico both ask such arbitration, but it
is doubtful il the acquisition Of Guate-
ilala would be relished by the majority
of the people Of the United States. It

Invitation.

Strangers are invited to visit
our store, when in Philadel-
phia, to leave packages there,
and to make a convenience
of it generally. is a handy
place, right by the new City
Hall, at the very center of the
city. 1t answers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-
vide for such of your wants
as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
three years ago; made SO by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by ex-
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing got ready for the rest and
retreshment of strangers.
One of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know very we'll that most
of you come to us for a good
share of your supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
intruding goods upon your
attention, when you come to
see the place
But perhaps you are not
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very well; take a cool
er time. It's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba-
biy, lust as well as if YOU
we're on the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts of
things than we can put into
an advertisement. So, what
ever you want, suppose you
drop us a line. Well help
you if we can.

WHEN 'N&RESS MAY ADJOURN.
1t seems to be generally conceded that
the removal of the internal revenue tax
reduction bill from the Senate and The
river and harbor bill from both bodies
increases the chances of adjournment
The Senators and members who said last
week Cbnsiess could ADJOURN by Monday
next said this afternoon that an adjourn
ment was still possible then. but not
very probable. on account of the I'm
known amount of time that may be used
up on the naval appropriation bill, which
proved tn be even more fruitful of de
bate than did either of the bills men
toned There is but one opinion in re-
gard to the tax proposition. and that is
that Senator Beck was correct when he
said the funeral sermons were preached
ON it to-day. 1t goes over, therefore
until next session, though some of the
New England Senators will endeavor to
secure the passage of the knit-gools bill
as Il separate measure as it originally
came from the House. They claim that
the tariff question is not involved in any
way by that bill, but they will likely
lind there is u diversity oil opinion in re-

A great many people are preparing
to go West within the next few weeks.
Some have bought lands, and are going
West to live, some are going to visit
friends, some are going for business
purposes, some are going for pleasure,
and others are going to prospect.
II you are one of these, you ought
to begin now to learn all about the
routes to the point you wish to reach
in the Great West, and this is good
time to remind you that the Great
Fort Wayne Route affords every facii
ity for quick, safe and comfortable
transit, and connects in their new
mammoth Union Station at Chicago
with the big railroads reaching all
points in the West. You don't have
any Omnibus transfers if you travel on
the Fort Wayne Route, and it is rare
case where you have to change cars
more than once. Pullman Palace
Sleeping Cars run on all through trains
in which passengers holding first class
tickets may ride if they want to, but
passengers holding second class tickets
may ride on the same traip, in good,
comfortable ears, and special attention
is given to the comfort and welfare of
of COlonisis with their families mov-
ing West.
If you will apply III person or by
letter or postal card to e. A. Ford,
General Ticket Agent of Fort Wayne
Route at Pittsburgh, Pa, he will tell
you the lowest rate from any station
on the Fort Wayne line to any point
in the West, how much it will cost to
send your freight, how to reach your
destination with fe@est changes, and
what train to take to make best con-
nections.
He will cheerfuliy furnish any in
formation you desire, or, if it is more
convenient you can address any agent
of the Fort Wayne Line, who will be
glad to give you the same attention. 1t
will be to ysur advantage TO transact
your business with the authorized
Agents of the Railroad Company and
give irresponsible outside sharpers 81
wide berth.

About two o'clock Sunday morning
couple of bold burglars entered the
hardware store of Messrs. Baldwin &
Waller, in Etna Block, cleaned out
their stock of revolvers and pocket
cutlery and relieved the money drawer
of some six dollars i'll money. The
amount stolen was about one hundred
and twelve dollars. The entrance to
the store was effected by prying open
the double front doors with Il couple of
heavy chisels, which they stole from
Furry & Sons carriage works, and q
heavy cast iron sleigh shoe. During
Saturday afternoon three suspicious
looking characters were seen about
town, visiting several business places,
taking an inventory of stock and OBJ
serving the lay of the land. Officer
Gibbons had kept all eye upon them
and at about two O'Clock he saw one of
the trio moving in an eastern direction
and followed him. He lost track of
his man, who was acting as a decoy,
and returned just in time to see the
burglars emerge from the store, and
gave chase. but they succeeded in eff
fecting microscope with their plumber.
One of the fellows fired his revolver
towards the officer near Meridian
street, and as he ran, stubbed his toe
against the steps at Kinney's grocery
and dropped his revolver and three or
four of the stolen knives upon the
walk. Beyond these none of the
stolen property has been recovered.

Ida May, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

after painful and somewhat lingering
illness.
1t would be difficult to picture the
grief that is felt and openly manifested
by all her friends, or the bitter anguish
that well nigh overpowers the stricken
family.

unusually bright and active child,
showing great love and aptitude for
study. Truly, death loves shining
mark"
The funeral services were held at the
church in Shalersville, Monday, March
Goth. Rev. Andrew Wilson preached
very appropriate sermon, speaking
words of comfort and sweet hope to
sorrowing friends.
Farewell to thee, Ida. We shall miss
thy bright form and cheerful voice,
but we will bear the burden hopefully,
trusting in thy happiness.
