We believe the last issue of the NEW
DOMINION to be best we ever read
We don't know If 1t Is that we have a
new editor or the local correspondence
were few. We are glad to read that
our absent editor is having such a
pleasant tour.
II. A. Dickinson has bought 10, 900
pit ties of the Pridevale Co. and is
having them shipped.
Mrs. George Robinson is visiting
her sisters Misses Hattie and Ida Ley.
Miss Costello gave her scholars a
spelling school Wednesday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. LAWRENCE Hildebrarid
were visiting Mrs. HIS sister, Mrs.
Oliver Majors last Sunday.
Wayne Thomas is slowly recovering
from serious illness, and Mrs. Matte
| Majors is better at this writing.
Our schools are nearing the close
and all have been progressing finely
so far.
Rev. Warner will begin a series of
meetings at Zion this week.
Wood Grove school tauget by Miss
Mary Costello celebrated Washington's
birthday. The room was nicely deco
rated and an interesting program rem
dered by the school. James Farrell
former teacher of this place, but now
of Fairchance,,, Pa, Lawrence Hide
brand and Willie Pugh favored us
with few remarks. Willie was a
former pupil of this school, but now
graduate Of Madison College, Union
town, Pa. He is brilliant young
man and we were pleased to listen at
his eloquence. Then lots were cast
who should raise the flag over the
school house-ladies or gentlemen.
The ladies won, and Misses Maggie
Manning and Anna Rude had the
honor Of raising the stars and stripes.
Miss Costello is to be complimented
for the way in which she had heI
school to perform. We believe in our
teachers cultivating and using our
home talent and not depending upon
| foreign talent on such occasions.
There is so much talent buried in a
place like this just for want of cultiva.
tion, as neglect of the teacher. We
earnestly request every parent to read
the column, ''Some Rambling
Thoughts, by Memo, in the last issue
of the New DOMINION, and reflect
upon it. If our youth of to-day was
brought up in the way they should
be, it would not be long until the
loafer that occupies the store box and
whittles and engages in the gossip OF
the whole community to pass away
the golden moments God has given
him, would be seen no more.
For more than hundred years
the Shakers have been studying the
remedial properties of plants. They
have made many discoveries, but
their greatest achievement was made
last year. 1t is cordial that con
tains already digested food and is a
digester of food. 1t is effective in
removing distress after eating, and
creates an appetite for more food SC
that eating Becomes a pleaure. Pale
thin people become plump and
healthy under its use 1t arrests the
wasting of consumption.
There never has such a step for
ward in the cure of indigestion al
this Shaker Cordial. Your druggis
will be glad to give you little bool
descriptive of the product.

are not brought forth hundreds at a
time in a hive from one common
Queen bee, but in small, very small,
groups whereby each individual in
the family may secure the care ne
cessary for creature so feeble at
birth and yet so potent in possibili-
ties. TO bring before your vision
the lamentable results where the
personal touch is lacking 1t is only
necessary to mention the spirits less

children. a few children of varying
ages under one authority is the nor

therefore even look upon the teacher

solutely unfair to expect her to coun-
teract all influences, home and

am not deluding myself with the
idea that these words are to enter
only the homes of ease and refine
ment. They are to 60 into thous
ands where it is not always easy to
make both ends meet; where life has
possibly rasping influence upon
the overburdened mother and the
overworked father; where the equiv
er-full'' of children is blessing very
thoroughly disguised. And because
such homes are after all the recruit
ing place Of American life and flu
ture American progress, must be
very plain here. | dare to say from
knowledge of both ends Of society,
that it is quite possible if not more
so to find in such homes the virtues
of patience and perseverance, of self
forgetfulness and tenderness, of love
and unity developing under hard
conditions, rather than under the
influence of boundless wealth and
opportunity. So the poverty of the
home where even the lamp is dis
pensed with so as to save expense is
not left out in these suggestions.
~
The main thing is, the Spirit OF
the home. Even of illiterate and
hampered by vices, parents real
love for the things that are pure and
right will'outweigh all things else

poses are merely covered with We
neer of book knowledge and deport

VILE WEEDS IMPORTED.
Pests Brought to America in Grass
and Clover Seed.


WASHINGTON, July 2-Some interest
ing statements and words of warning to
American farmers are given in a report on
pure seed Investigations submitted to Sec
rotary Wilson. 1t says that thousands of
pounds, probably tons, of grass and clover
seed are shipped annually into the United
States which contain all sorts of vile weed
seeds. In this way such pests as the Rus
Sian thistle, Canada thistle, wild mustard
chess, dodder, wild daisy, trefoil and plan
tain were introduced here. Nearly every
year witnesses the advent of additional
pests of this character brought to America
in the same manner The difficulties In the
way of eradicating such seeds when they
are once established in a community are
well night insupera BILE. The wind, stock and
railroads. it is cited, scatter them far and
wide. n large amount of cheap seed, it is
said, is now being sold novelties at fancy
prices through manipulation of the name,
and the report says that the German cof-
fee berry" which many seedsmen are now
advertising as a cheap substitute for cof-
fee is really the common SOFA bean, which
can be bought cheaply almost anywhere.
The lack of suitable places for impartial
tests by both the seed dealers and buyer
has been met in Europe for nearly thirty
years by the establishment of seed con-
troll stations now numbering about one
hundred, and on whose tests guarantees
are based. Several experiment stations in
this country have taken this matter up. and
recently a committee from them had a con-
ference a the Agricultural Department
concerning methods and apparatus. For
three years the department has been in
vestigating the quality of agricultural
seeds. The testing in itself is an immense
task. and already this year over half
million of individual seeds have been
counted out and tested, and a small trial
ground has been started at Kensington,

quently sell five or six alleged different
varieties of an article out of the same bin.
A collection of 15,0C0 Walls of seeds from
nearly all parts of the world has been made
at the department to assist in identifying
the foreign seeds found in commercial use,
and the department will thus be able to
give warning against new or dangerous
pests. Horticultural literature, it is said,
is full of quack recommendations for treat
ment, and special studies are now in prog
ress by government experts which are eX-
pected soon to develop important results.
The report urges careful selection by pur-
chaserS, and says if good seed cannot be
obtained otherwise, legislation will be nee
essary to shut out seed wares filled with
bad seeds. The report says most of the
imported seed could be successfully raised
here opening new avenues of profit to
American husbandmen and 1t particularly
points out sugar beet and hairy vetch seed
as capable 81 being made an important in

OFF FOR HIS OHIO HOME.
President Mckinley Will Spend the
Fourth ut Canton.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-President Nc
Knley left the city at 7:10 p. m. over the
Pennsylvania Railroad for Canton, O.,
where he will visit his aged mother and
take few days of rest. With him were
Mrs Mckinley, Assistant Secretary and
Mrs. Day, Mrs. Saxton, who is Mrs. Nc
Kinley's aunt and Miss Mabel Mckinley.
The party occupied the Pullman car Hasel-
mere, which was attached to the rear of
the Western express. Canton will be
reached at 1890 tomorrow morning, and
the return to Washington will be on Tues
day. This will be the Presidents first visit
to his home since the Inauguration, and he
has expressed a wish that it be quiet one,
devoid of speech making and demonstra-
tions. The Presidents party reached the
railroad station about fifteen minutes be-
fore train time, where they were greeted
by Secretary Porter. Taking each an arm
OF Mrs. Mckinley, the President and Mr..
Porter assisted her to the special car,
which was rich with the perfume of choice
flowers that had been sent by friends. The
President was attired in draD trousers and
sack coat and vest and beaver hat. He
loitered around on the platform of the car
almost until the time the train started and
then waved an adieu to those standing
about

hours the police and military were repeat
edly obliged TO clear the streets. Detached
parties of Mohammedans stoned Europeans
wherever they found them in some cases
dragging them from their glarries. All
Geographic lines were cut and the buildings
containing Europeans were besieged.
There were many narrow escapes The
rioters shouted war cries and vile epithetS
and grossly insulted the European women.
In several parts of Calcutta it is still dan
gerous for Europeans to go about and it
is likely TO remain So owing to the nature
of the compromise by which the riot
brought to an end.
The trouble is greatly increased by the
absence of the higher officials most of
whom are now in the hills. Those who re-
manned behind hesitated to undertake the
responsibility of extreme measures. The
result was that the troops were not al
when exposed to every kind of indignity
and insult. Their behavior and sef-re
straint under the circumstances were ad-
mirable
based upon the unconditional surrender of
the land; but ii is believed that this con-
cesSiOn will prove standing menace to the
safety of Europeans as the rioters Will
celebrate the victory throughout all India
In spite of the cessation of the riots the
situation is regarded as extremely grave
and it is felt that, unless official is
invested with plenary powers during the
absence of the governing authorities Eu
ropean citizens will be compelled to act
on their own responsibility
LONDON, July 2 - The newspapers of
this city express anxiety at the occur
rences in India, intimating that the mass
of the natives there are less content under
British rufe than was generally believed
and that rebellion of unpleasant proper
lions may be threatening. Constant COM
municatiOns are passing between the In
dian and home governments.

TRANsvAAL RAID INQUIRY.
kilograms Exchanged by Miss Flora
Shaw md Cecil Rhodes.

LONDON, July AT the resumption to-
DAY of the sittings of the parliamentary
committee appointed to inquire into the
Transvaal raid four kilograms exchanged
by Miss Flora Shaw, colonial editor of the
Times, and Mr.. Cecil Rhodes, then premier
of Cape Colony were produced. The first
from Miss Shaw asks for the date of the
commencement of the plans, owing to the
necessity Of instructing European CORE
spOndents kbf the London Times so that
they might use Their influence IN favor Of
Mr.. Rhodes. The second dispatch points
out the danger, the European situation
was considered serious. and protest from
the other powers might paralyZe the gov
eminent. The third message says Mr.
Chamberlain (the secretary of state for
the cOlonies) lis sound in case of the IN
reference of European powers, but have
special reasons to believe he wishes you to
act Immediately"
One dispatch from Mr. Rhodes to Miss
Shaw says: Inform Mr.. Chamberlain I
shall get through all right if he supports
me. but he must not send cables like the
one sent to the high commissioner. I'll win
and South Africa will belong to England 3"
Miss Shaw denied ever having given the
Colonial Office any information regarding
Colonel Rhodes. Regarding the cable mes
sage saying Mr.. Chamberlain was sound ."
Miss Shaw explained that the secretary of
state for the colonies had publicly declared
his attitude on the subject of South At
RIGA
Mr.. Chamberlain said that this idea Of
Miss Shaws was probably gathered from
the Colonial Office that IF there was go
ing to be an uprising he wished the Jo-
hannesburgers would hurry up about it &"
M Chamberlain explained that this was
Fairfield, and that Miss Shaw had taken it
seriously.

HindOOs May Revolt.

BOMBAY. July 2.-The assassins of
Lieutenant Ayerst, of the commissary
corps, who was shot and killed by con-
cealed natives while leaving the Governors
reception at Ganeshkind, on the evening of
June 22 jubilee day. Plague Commissioner
Rand being dangerously wounded at the
same time, are still at large The agrees
sive attitude of the natives prior to the
shootings was remarked. There were whis
perings of impending disaster to Euro
peans, and it is thought that the whole ma
tive community. including the police had
foreknowledge that something was going
to happen. On jubilee, night a delayed
anonymous letter arrived at Commissioner
Rand's bungalow, saying: You VIII die
to-day and the Queen will die two days
after. Many others will follow and the
soldiers, will all be killed. Threatening
letters have been received by other Euro
peans. During the progress of the plague
prominent Hindoos made violent accusa
lions against the British soldiers, charging
them with ravishing the women and rob-
bling and ill-treating all who came in con-
tact with them. The allegations that the
Brahmins are responsible for the murders
which have recently occurred are repu-
dated vigorously. There is the gravest dis
quiet in official circles.

Exchange of Weather Reports.

WASHINGTON, July Am important
arrangement has been completed between
the United States and Mexico for an ex-
change of Weather Bureau reports. The
United States is interested in securing in
formation of storms that come into this
country through Mexico and Mexico is es-
pecially anxious TO get advance information
of low temperatures working toward Mex
lean territory. An effort will now be made
to secure some like arrangement by which
formation of storms in the West Indies can
be secured. The bureau now has reports
at irregular times from the West Indies
where there are nine meteorological sta
tons But it is DESTROYS to nave a daily
Geographic report, such as is received
from stations in this country. The West
India service would cost about $4,000 per
annum. The Mexican service is secured
with cost of not over $500, and possibly
not more than $500 per annum-

THE CALCUTTA RIOTS.
Cause of the Uprising of Mussulmans
More Trouble Brewing.

CALCUTTA, July I'm the fighting
which took place yesterday in the suburb
Of Chitboro between the police and the
rioters many police were injured A party
of twenty-four members of the native po-
lice was so roughly handled that all of
them are expected TO die of the injuries
they received. The rioters suffered heavily
but they carried off their dead and
wounded.
A compromise on the plague measures
having been arranged between the authori-
ties and the rioters, the disturbances have
ceased. The absence of rain is causing the
greatest anxiety throughout India. The
rioting arose out of the growing practice
of the Mohammedans of Selling and refus-
ing TO pay rent for certain so-called
mosques built contrary 10 the tenets of the
Mohammedan religion on the ground be-
longing TO infldels. The demolition of a
mud hut, so-called mosque led to the
outbreak. The rioters were continually re-
inforced in response TO kilograms sent up
the country, in which they appealed TO
all true Mohommedans to come to the aid
of their eo-religionists. For forty-eight

MAY ASK HIS PASSPORTS.
The Japanese Minister, 1t Is Said, May
Soon Be Recalled.

CHICAGO, July 2 A special to the
Times-H from Washington says Toru
Hoshi the Japanese minister, is likely to
be recalled at an early date. While officials
of the Japanese legation here claim to be
in ignorance of any such probability, we'll
informed opinion in State Department cir
cles inclines to the belief that Mr.. Hoshi
will ask for his papers within a short
time. The reasons for the minister's recall
are two-fold, not the least potent of which
government and of the minister personally
toward the United States over the Ha-
waian difficulty. Tine minister himself
feels insulted because the State Department
did not apprise MIN of the negotiations
which led TO the signing of the treaty
for the annexation of Hawaii, and. while
the Japanese home government is inCensed
on account of this and what it terms a lack
of consideration of its right in Hawaii in
the framing OF the treaty itself, the condi-
ton of japanese politics affords a second
reason for the minister's recall.
