Report Believed to Be True.


The State Department has not yet been
advised of the acceptance by the British
government of the alternative proposition
sui mitted to it, after the rejection of the
invitation to come into the international
cor ference. to have a meeting of British,
Canadian and United States experts on
the seal question. 1t is believed that the
news is true, and that Ambassador Hay
will advise the department as soon as an
agreement has actually been reached An
intimation that the invitation Is to be ac-
cepted might not be regarded by him al
sufficient in the present aspect of the case.
The discovery made by Editor Stead of
the intention of the United States. falling
to reach an agreement for the further pro-
lection of the seals. to destroy all of them
on the Pribyloff Islands, Is supposed at
the State Department to have been based
on the debates in Congress last year and
on the fact that Representative Dngley
submitted bill to that end. The destruc-
tion of the seals was proposed as an ex-
treme measure in the event of a failure
to reach an international agreement with
Great Britain for their protection and pres
ervation.
Should Initiate Russia.
Mr.. E. ]. Phelps, who was United States
minister to Great Britain when the Bering
sea question was under consideration, and
later one of the United States representa-
tves at the Bering sea court of arbitra-
ton at Paris, was asked today for his
opinion on the present phases of the Bering
sea case as developed by the coming con-
ference between the United States, Russia
and Japan. Mr.. Phelps said he did not feel
at liberty to speak of the subject in detail
But l will say" he added. that Russia
has done, according to published reports
what in my opinion, we ought to have done
In 1883, and what 1 advised our government
to do"
The action of Russia referred to by Mr..
Phelps is that of establishing a rigid sys-

Buckner Orphan Home Entertainment

The entertainment given last
night by the Ladies Aid Society of
the Olive Street Baptist church at
the west side Assembly Hall was
quite a success, in every particular.
A large crowd out and the program
was carried out, except in one or
two instances, where sickness pre-
vented. All who took part in the
exercises did well-were often APP
plauded.
Proceeds for the Home amounted
to about $40 in money we learn and
fully as much more in clothes. We
are truly glad it did so well.

GladnesS Comes

iAJith a better understanding OF the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
iii important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended TO the most skilltul
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Why Not Print the Bond.

Attorney General Nc cCormick con-
cluded his crushing rejoinder to Mr..
John =. Elkin's defence of the IA
nous indemnity bond with these
words:-
1T is not very material whether
the bond was intended to indemni-
fy the Treasurer against Legislative
action or Executive veto; but, since
a question OF fact has arisen as to
the conditions of the bond or agree
men5 of indemnity, it can readily be
settled by giving copy thereof to
the public"
That suggestion goes to the heart
of the issue. Why not publish the
bond! The signers contend that it
was perfectly right and proper.
They insist that there was nothing
wrong about it and no reason for
concealment. They assert that un-
der the same circumstances they
would do the same thing again.
What possible objection, then, to
giving the bond, or agreement, as
they prefer to call it, to the public?
That would settle The dispute. Mr..

Grange Encampment.

The Pennsylvania Patrons of Hus-
bandry, more familarly known as
the Grangers, held their annual
meeting last week in Centre county.
The Grange is one of the most i'm
portant societies in the county.
When it was organized the aim
was to effect some revolutions in
trade methods, to dispense with the
middleman, who bought and sold,
but was not n producer, and other
impossible hopes were entertained.
Gradually the Granger learned that
the man who distributes is as nee
essary as the man who produces,
and that the railroads that carry are
not the foe but the absolute neces-
sty of the farmer. Perceiving that
there is no room for any great revo-
lutions the Changers turned their
attention to adapting themselves
more to the conditions they found.
The farmer was brought into closer
contact with his neighbor. Better
methods were discussed at Grange
meetings. A new interest was
awakened among the older popula-
ton of the farm and the younger
members of the farmers families
were turned from the loneliness OF
isolated farm life to the more social
atmosphere of the Grange.
AS factor in changing CONNER
cial practices the Grange was power
less, but it had an effect just as good
as the most hopeful Granger could
have asked when it set men to
thinking about how to make the
farm yield more and better returns
through better aud more intelligent
attention to detail as we'll as to CEN
eral principles of farming. The
Grange brought to every communi-
ty where one was located new en-
thusiasm which has never been
wholly lost. 1t stimulated a demand
for Grange and farm literature aud
the Grange literature became ulti-
mately farm literature.
