Local Institute.

The Local Institute for South.
Eastern Sullivan met at Sonestown,
on Friday evening, Jan. Both. EA
ercises opened with singing by the
Committee on music, who rendered
several choice selections in ex'
cellent style. Declarations "Eu-
logy on Garfield" and "The Victor
of Masengo" by E. j. Mullen.
Prof. Becht, principal of the
Muncy schools delivered an excellent
address on "Practical Education. y
He emphasized the need of a train
ing that fits pupils to grapple with
the affairs of life, but would not at
tempt to train specialists in the
public schools. Too much is some.
times expected in this direction.
The address was replete with good
thoughts, and was we'll received by
CHe AnSClCuCe.
Saturday, the program was taken
up and discussed in an interesting
way. The teachers manifested a
readiness to advance opinions and
answer questions, which speaks well
for their professional zeal. The
discussion of the question "Should
the higher branches be taught in un-
graded schools" was excellent (; and
that on ''The Teaching of Punctua-
tion," went to the very marrow of the
subject. An explanation of cube
root with cubic blocks, by Miss
Anna Karge made that difficult sub
ject appear plain and simple.
Nearly every teacher in the dis
trict was in attendance; and the
meeting was a decided success.
The committee on resolutions
made the following report, which
was adopted:
Frst:-We, the teachers of La.
Porte, Davidson and Shrewsbury
desire to express our thanks to
Prof. Becht for his evening lecture
and able discussions before our In
stitute.
Second:-We return our thanks
to the people of Sonestown for the
use of their church, and their kind
hospitality.
Ihird:-We tender our thanks to.
The committe on music for their ex
cellent selections.
Fourth:-We tender our thanks
TO President Albert, and Supt.
Black for their interest in the In
stitute.

The Republican party OF Pennsyl-
vania is heartily disgusted with the
doings of U. S. Senator j. Don
Cameron for the past weeks. He
voted against the election bill which
approved the right of suffrage to
every man, entitled, whether he be
resident of Mississippi or Pennsyl-
vania. He also invested in one
hundred thousand dollars in silver
and then voted for free coinage
bill calculated TO make that bullion
worth many more thousand dollars
to him. The low sense of honor
that permits man to blind himself
to the baseness of deliberately in
teresting himself, personally and in
the result of legislation that partly
depends on his vote, deserves the
aggressive and emphatic condemna-
tion of decent public opinion and
Judging from our many exchanges
this condemnation has, in this in
stance, been placed exactly to the
man who deserves it. The Philadel
phia Inquirer is the only organ ol
our exchanges that upholds Senator
Cameron and we fear that, that
journal hasn't mind of its own.

We publish the Annual State-
ment Of Sullivan county elsewhere
in this issue. The tax payers of
our county will perhaps consider
this book of information of more
value to them this year than ever
before, owing to the much talk con-
cerning the Indebtedness of our ex-
County Treasurer to the several
townships, boroughs and county.
This is everybody's business and
everybody has a right to express
his or her opinion. While it is true
that Treasurers Of former years have
to some extent been found indebted
to the county yet never has this
amount been shown by the auditors
statement to be one fourth the in
debtedness of our ex-Treasurer.
However, Mr.. Lorah complains and
says that the audit is wrong and
has turned the document over to
the court for correction and that as
soon as the court passes upon it,,
he is ready to settle the same. Mr..
Lorah had perfect right to ap-
peal to the court and should he pay
off the claim after the alleged wrong
has been adjusted, the people will
thank him for carrying it to the
higher tribunal as much good and
| information will be derived there's
| from.
The amount of Mr.. Lorah's in
debtcdness is as follows:
Road funds, to twp. and boros ....... $3176.7l
School and building funds to twp. &
boros .,......... .................. 50l5.oO

pAcIFy1NG THE INDIANS.
Agents Directed to Inform the Red Men
of the Governments Plans.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The COM
missioner of Indian affairs has sent to
the agents of the various Sioux reserva-
tions letter giving synopsis of all
existing treaties and arguments between
the Sioux and the government, including
the Indian appropriation acts passed
during the last congress. The commits
sioner directs the agents to state to the
Indians that Agent Cooper has been in
structed to proceed to Pine Ridge and
find out definitely what persons suffered
loss of property during the late trouble
and as soon as this information is re-
ceived the $4,000 which congress ap-
propriated to make good these losses
will be paid to them.
They are also directed to explain that
agents have been requested to report to
him what Indians are ready and entitled
to receive from the government COWS
and other stock, and, as soon as this in
formation is received, stock will be pur-
chased and sent to them. The Indians
are also to be told that the superintend-
ent of Indian schools is now investigat-
ing the matter of establishing a large
boarding school at Rosebud, improving
the boarding schools at Pine Ridge and
elsewhere, and of locating and building
thirty day schools provided for, and that
it is hoped, before the opening of the
new school year in September, all this
work will either be completed or well
under way.
/ Agents are also instructed to inform
the Indians that probably within the
next month a commission will be ap-
pointed to settle the boundary
line between Pine Ridge and Rosebud
and orders had already been given for
the establishment of sub-issue stations
at convenient places. Larger and better
cattle will also be furnished the Indians
The commissioner directs that agent.
state to the Indians very fully and EN-
phatically that renewal of disturbances
will postpone the payment of money anC
furnishing of supplies.

DIPoLmArIc coRREsPoNDENCE.

What is Being Wired in Regard to the
Americans--Italian Embroglio.
WASHINGTON, "A pril 1.-The Associated
Press correspondent here has perused
the dispatches exchanged between the
government of Italy and the government
of the United State in regard to the New
Orleans lynching. The substance of
them is that Italy asked in the main
that legal process should be instituted
against the culprits, regarding them as
common assassians, Italy likewise asked
for indemnity for the families of the men
killed in New Orleans by the mob.
To these requests the United States
authorities at Washington answered
that the constitution of the United
States gave but limited powers to the
Federal government in regard to inter
ference with various states of the Union,
but the United States government
affirmed its good intentions in the
matter.
The answer from Washington being
regarded as unsatisfactory, Italy in
structed Baron Fava, March 9th, to
press the original demands made upon
the United States government and in
event of his failing to obtain satisfaction
tc leave Washington incog., after con-
signing the cares of the legation at
Washington to the first secretary.

Prospective UnpIeasantness-

Comments of the London Press on the
Prospective UnpIeasantness.
LONDON, April 1.-The St. James Ga
zette commenting on the recall of Baron
Fava says: eff Italy is disposed to send
her ironclads to the Mississippi, Ameri-
cans have no ships to face the Lepanto and
Dsila for forty minutes. The withdrawal
of the em bassador is the next thing to a
declaration of war, and evidently is
meant to convey to the United States
the information that Italy does not care
to be trifled with
The Star says the United States is in
AN extremely difficult position though
the lynching at New Orleans may have
been justifable. The withdrawal of
Fava is the easiest solution of the prob
lem. The Globe thinks that the United
States should be taught a vigorous les
son in diplomacy. They must learn
that they cannot ignore old world ideas.

MARRIAGE BELLS.
Chief Justice Fuller's Daughter Married
in Washington and Miss Ulmar in
I.OndO


London.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-In the pres
ence of large and distinguished as
semblage, and without ostentation or
display, Miss Grace Weston Fuller, the
eldest daughter of Chief Justice and Mrs.
Fuller, was married to Archibald Lap
ham Brown, of Chicago, this evening at
8 o'clock in St. Johns Episcopal church,
by the Rev. DIR. Douglas, rector of the
church. There was no bridesmaids and
no music of any description, save a
wedding march from Lohengrin, and the
church decorations were confined to the
altar and chancel rail. Miss jamie
Fuller, youngest sister of the bride, acted
as maid of honor to her sister, and Mr..
Barnum, of Chicago, an intimate friend
of the groom, was best man. The bride
was becomingly attired in Worth gown
having skirt of white satin with long
court train of the same material. In her
hand was large bouquet of lilies of the
valley and maiden hair fern, while a
diamond pin held long wedding vail in
place. The list of guests who witnessed
the ceremony included:
Postmaster General Wanamaker, Sir
Julian and Lady Pauncefote, Minister
GuZman, of Nicaragua, the Chinese suite,
the Corean minister, Justices Harlan,
Brown, Lamar, Bradley and Brewster,
Senators Cullom and Cockrell and others
well known in official and civil life.
After the wedding reception was held
at the home of the chief justice, where
Washington society was invited to con-
gratulate the young couple. MIR. and
Mrs. Brown left for New. York on brief
tour, and thence will go on trip abroad.

DISCUSSION ATLENGTH
Baron Fava's Recall was Largely of a
Personal Nature---Blaine Warned
Not to Attempt a Brilliant
Stroke
The Italian Situation Assuming Some
Serious Phases---Comments of the
London Papers.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The impress
sion is deepening in the diplomatic cir
cles that there is decidedly personal as
pect to the withdrawal of Baron Fava.
1t is learned that for the last year Carl
ton, United Stated consul at Palermo
made a report to the secretary of state
upon the subject of brigandage in Italy.
He described number of cases of out
rage upon foreign citizens, Americans in
cluded, by Itaian banditti and proceeded
to score the Italian government deeply
for failure to suppress those red-handed
criminals and defend foreigners in Italy.
This report was published in this
country and so aroused the indignation
of Baron Fava, the Italian minister, that
he promptly notified his government of
the nature of the report and announced
the determination to secure the consuls
recall. In Secretary Blaine's absence
he was able to do this. Blaine was
much displeased at the action taken but
was too late to recall the departments
decision. Consequently the relations be-
tween Blaine and the Baron have
become somewhat less pleasant than il
formerly had been, and according to the
gossip floating about the state depart
ment, by some means not exactly de
scribed the Italian government came tc
understand and repress upon more cor
dial terms with prominent United State!
officials and might obtain more favor,
for his government.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-The En-

portance to the recall of the Italian min

been a change of ministry over there.
The new government has learned a lesson
from the British jingoism.''
