Sinfully took the Cake.

A special from Slippery Rock says: "a
breach of discipline that would be funny if
it were not for the serious consequences
involved for the offenders developed at the
Normal School here yesterday. The stu
dents got a ration of cake at the Sunday
evening tea. Knowing that the cake must
be in the cupboard. Sunday morning G. F.
Dumblat, Todd Goodle. Frank Foulk and
J. G. McMillen, rooming in the gentle
mems dormitory left their beds at oclock
and in reckless disregard Of the sacred day
and the pain and penalties sure to follow
detection, broke and entered the pantry in
the boarding hall and did sinfully and
surreptitiously steal, extract and eat eight
cakes. Principal DR.. Maltby did the de-
tective work that practically convicted
these men of cribbing the cake.

The Proposed Site for the High School.


Section ] of the act of assembly author
izing and regulating the taking, use and
occupancy of certain public burial places
for common school purposes, reads as fol-
lows
SEc l. Be it enacted, &c, '"rhat when
ever the board of directors or controllers of
any school district in this Commonwealth
shall deem it desirable to occupy for pur-
poses of common school education any
ground therein used as public burial
place, or conveyed in fee to a municipal
corporation to be kept as public burial
place. such board may, by resolution pass
ed by the affirmative vote of at least fonr-
fifths Of all the members thereof, and duly
entered on the minutes, declare its inten-
tion to take, use and occupy the same for
the, purpose aforesaid, designating the
same in said resolution by metes and
bounds: Prorided, No more than one half
acre of ground shall at any one time be so
taken, used or occupied: 4nd Prorided,
This act shall not apply to burial grounds
of religious societies, churches or congre-
cations, or of private corporations or asso-
Citations. nor to portions thereof devoted to
public use or the burial of the poor, ncr
to the burial grounds on or connected with
almshouse properties"
Then. it goes on to provide for viewers,
damages, judgment, etc., and acting un-
der the law the School Board of Butler
at its especial meeting of Saturday evening,
by vote OLA 10 2, resolved to occupy
or obtain control of the old cemetery loc
facing on Mexican and North sts., for
school purposes, and will petition Court to
approve of their resolution, appoint view
ers, etc.
The lot in question was decided by the
Cunninghams to the borough for burial
purposes nearly hundred years ago, no
interment has been made in it for many
years, it has not been kept in order, and is
now and has for many years been an "eye-
sore" The few bodies remaining in it
could easily be removed, and the lot
wonld then be one of the most central and
therefore the most available in Butler for
a High School or Tor general school pur-
Poses. ;------>

HARRISBURG, Feb. 8, 1894.
DEAR SIR:-School text books purchased
by Boards of Directors at the expense oi
their respective districts as authorized and
required by the Act of Nay IS, 1893, P L,
page 49, 'are for use in the public schools. 4"
The books cannot, therefore, be used un-
der any conditions, whatever, in private
schools of any kind. The directors have NO
discretion in the matter, except what the
law gives to them; and inasmuch as the
law itself limits the use Of the books to the
public schools. the directors cannot con-
sistently nor legally permit the use of free
textbooks in private or subscription
schools.
The patrons of the schools are to be COM
mended FOR the progressive spirit shown in
the desire expressed to have better educa-
tional advantages for their children than
are offered by short terms of school. The
proper course, however, to pursue in all
such cases, is to extend the term of the
public schools and thus give all the chill
dren the advantages of longer annual
terms, aud free text books as well as free
tuition.
This liz the correct solution of the whole
question and il in accordance with the
spirit of the laws governing the operation
of the public school system. Where free
text books are in use, the schools must be
free also. open to all children alike without
any conditions or restrictions which the
law itself does not authorize.
Very respectfully.

a peculiar accident occurred at the Mt.
Tacoma Manufacturing Company's mill in
Tacoma on the morning of February b,
which is reported in the West Coast Lum-
logger in the employ of the mill, was di-
rected to split large cellar log lying upon
the carriage. as it was too large for the
saw. Tuttle stood upon the log and drove
a number Of wedges into it, when the log
suddenly parted and the unfortu nate man
in endeavoring to get out of the danger,
slipped and fell into the opening between
the halves. Before he could escape the
pieces closed in upon lin leaving only his
head outside. A number of workman Saw
the accident, and the unconscious man
was released by prying the log apart. at
first it was thought that he had su ffered
internal injuries, but after few days of
rest be was able to resume work again,
John Rodgers, resident OF Indiana,
was killed few nights ago by a number of
members Of the Mulberry reflective as
sociatlon, an organisation of farm,rs of
his county recently formed with the
purpose Of making horse stealing and other
modes of thieving which have been quite
prevalent for long time, unpopular.
While Warren Thompson With his family
was absent from home, thieves entered the
house and made away with quantity of
meat -four and other provisions. John
Rodgers was suspected. Farmer Thomp
son called the association togather and it
was decided to watch Rodgers house for
the appearance of the thief with his plum
der. Fifteen men accordingly concealed
themselves al various places about Rod
gers premises and at IL o'clock Rodgers
made his appearance. 1t was asserted that
he was loaded with tho stolen property,
At any rate an attempt was made to arrest
him. Rodgers resisted and drew a revol-
yer. The next instant bis body, riddled
with bullets. was writhing on the ground.
He lived about ten minutes

Washington Notes.

On Thursday the Democratic members
of the Senate Finance Committee finished
their tinkering of the Wilson bill, and re-
ported the bill to the whole committee.
Sugar is taken off the free list and a tarlff
of one cent pound put on it, 40 cents
ton is put on coal and iron ore; wool and
lumber are left on the free list; 90 per cent.
ad valoremis is put on clothing; glassware
is raised for 80 to 40 per cent the income
tax remains part OF the bill, etc.
On Friday President Cleveland relieved
the suspense that has been overhanging the
postmastership of Pittsburg for the past
year by sending to the Senate the appoint
ment of John G. O'Donnell. ]. ]. Finney.
the celebrated detective, was appointed
postmaster of Tarentum.
The Senators were all studying the
amended Wilson bill, and some Democratic
Senators were said to be dissatisfied.
Senator PETER created sensation by asking
for acommittse to investigate the charges
that certain Senators had been specializing
in Sugar.
On Monday by strict party vote the
Democrats on the Senate Finance Com
mittee refused to give even five short days
to hearing at which workingmen, farmers
and manufactures might state their object
ions to the Wilson bill. And this in the
face of the fact that five weeks had been
spent in fixing it up SO as to suit the Sugar
trust, the lead trust, and those Democratic
Senators like German, of Maryland, and
Pugh and Morgan, of Alabama, to say
nothing of giving opportunities to other
Democratic Senators to juggle with the
sugar duties and make fortunes in the
New York stock market
The Republican Senators on the finance
committee began their dissection that day.
Part of the schedules were gone over and
their faults shown up. But the Democrats,
while not defending their work. made no
changes.
On Tuesday Chairman Amos Cummings
of the Naval Committee introduced reso-
luton in Congress calling on Secretary
Herbert for full information concerning
the much talked of armor plate contracts.
Mr.. Cummings said that the object of
the resolution was to get all the facts in
the case. Said he:
The House wants to know the truth and
the country wants to know it, and this is
the way to get it. We want all the infor-
nation the Secretary of the Navy has, and
more, if there is more behind it. / know
what the course of the Navy Department
has been in the affair, and there is nothing
in it to its discredit. If anyone is entitled
to blame it is the Carnegie company, which
is responsible for the trouble.
On Wednesday the Senate passed the
Bland seignorage bill; refused to consider
the sugar investigation resolution; and the
tariff bill was yet being discussed by the
Finance Com mittee.

and equally so, for one against Rawl-
ins. frankie is "brighter'' man says
the Tri5., and it would have the voters
remember that fact but it msgnani-
mously says Rawltns is fine lawyer.
Joe's fine lawyership and good, sound,
old-fashioned horse-sense served Utah
pretty well last session and may be
safely trusted to do it again next. An
but frankie IS magnetic, winsome"
man. So is Ed. Loose, but Ed. wins
some at poker, but still for ail:that We
ton't propose to send him to congress,
But Joe's lieutenants in the country
are bad men. According to the Tri-
hume, all of Joe's friends in city and
country are bad men, wretchedly had,
and Joe is good in Washington. For
that very reason Joe's bad friends IN
the country and cities of Utah, mean
TO send him back there.

If Powers succeeds in rounding up
the editor of the Tribune in debate,
which we very much doubt, the fur
will fly. Reminiscence, lachrymose
gymnastics, nor even Virginia City
recollections, will help the Tribune
man out. Political philosophy, politi-
cal history, political facts, not fanctes,
will be the weapons for such battle.
Goodwin hath them not, and Powers
bristles all over with them, and he has
the trick of presenting them in most
forcible way. By all means let the de-
bate come off in Provo.
