friend, the Dubois Courier, clipped an
article from THE STAR concerning the
election Of Frank j, Black chief Of the
fire departments and Mayor Peter Rob
ertson assistant chief, and used the
above quotation AS u heading over the
clipping. Had we said Burgess Robert
son the Courier would not have acknowl-
edged that it did not know what every
body else does know, that Reynoldsville
has Mayor. Blackstone gives the fol-
lowing definition for the word burgess:
San inhabitant Of borough or walled
town, or one who possesses tenement
therein; citizen or freeman of bor-
ough. A representative Of a borough
or town in parliament" Webster says.
"a magistrate Of a borough" Mayor,
according to Webstcr's definition, is
"tho chief magistrate Of a city or bor-
ough." This being the definition Of
the word, mayor, it is right and proper
to say that Reynoldsville has mayor

An elaborate study of "The new admin
istration at Washington" by Albert Shaw,
appears in the April Review of Reviews.
Dr. Shaw draws an interesting comparison
between the American and administrative
systems, pointing out the distinction be-
tween "ministry" and cabinet" in both
theory and practice; he also treats quite
fully of Mr McKinleys process of cabi-
building, its various difficulties and
adjustments, and outlines the noteworthy
characteristics of the Presidents official
family as finally selected both individual
ly and in ensemble. The article further
defines ''the larger executive group at
Washington various assistant secre-
taryships, and important bureau headships,
and so far as possible the reader is inform
ed as to the personnel and status of these
important offices for the coming four years.
Altogether, DR.. Shaw has made in this ar
ticle an exceptionally useful contribution
to current history.

LATE NEWS.
Twenty-Five Killed.
A Death-DeaIing Tornado at Chandler,
OLInhOma.

Deatn-Dealtng IOrnauO ht Chahdlery
Oklahoma.
A tornado which struck Chandler, Ok
lahoma, Tuesday evening, destroyed every
building in the town but four. At least
% persons were killed outright, ii were
fatally injured and 10 wounded. Chandler
is an interior town, 30 miles from Guthrie.
The storm came from the southwest about
6 o'clock without a moments warning, and
sweeping across the town, first demolished
the business district, then laid low the resi-
dence portion, and passing on spent itself
in the open prairie. The courthouse, in
which court was in session, was taken off
its foundation and the building nearly
crushed. Many of the wrecked buildings
took fire and holocaust followed. Many
of those injured and buried in the ruins
were burned to death before help could
arrive.
The night in Chandler was terrible.
With scores of its inhabitants dead or dy-
ing and the remainder too utterly panic
stricken to render assistance in the dark
ness, the rain poured down upon the desc
late and homeless population all during
the weary hours of the night and added
horror TO the situation. Many injured
cried unavailngly for help and lay in the
wrecks Of their houses till daylight made
it possible for them to help themselves or
when aid from surrounding towns arrived.

The New pr,.ldent in the white House

The New President in the White House.
1t is evidently a fact, apparent to every
body in Washington and to all visitors to
the White House, that William Mckinley
has begun his life as President in a very
simple, approachable and democratic way;
and this has produced highly favorable
and friendly impression of the new admin
i,tra,ion. People who have business at
the White House are cordially received,
and the new President has the happy fac
ulty of making each visitor feel that he is
personally glad to see him. Not every
visitor finds his requests granted, by any
means, but each leaves with the pleasant
feeling that he has been treated like gen
tleman. \ new departure, which seems
to be especially gratifying, is President
McKnley's course in showing his conf
deuce in the people by going about freely
without police attendance. Every after
noon, after the business OF the day is over,
he goes out for a walk, accompanied only by
his private secretary or by some personal
friend whom he has asked to 90 along, and
he seems to enjoy the greetings of recog
milton which he receives. In this respect
he follows the example of Gen. Grant and
President Harrison, who went freely among
the people on the streets. President Cleve
land, on the contrary, feared assassination,
remembering what befel Lincoln and Gar
field. He was never seen about the White
House grounds, he never went out walk
ing, and his exercise was taken in luxu-
rous carriage followed always by two de-
tectives in light carriage. Detectives
were always on guard at the White House
as well as at his summer home at Gray
Gables. They always stood near him at
public receptions and accompanied him on
his journeys McKinley's way, on the
contrary, is to don the armor of an every
day American citizen, and everybody will
hope that it may prove an effectual safe
guard.
1t is also noted that a general spirit of
"accessibleness' marks all the heads of
departments under the new administration.
1t is said particularly of Mr.. Gage, the sec
retary of the treasury, of eX-Gov. Long,
secretary of the navy, of Postmaster-Gen-
eral Gary, and of Mr.. Wilson, the secretary
of agriculture, that red tape is discarded by
! them, that they meet all of their own sub
ordinates freely, and that within all posi-
bic and reasonable bounds they are ap-
proachable by the people who have any
good reason for wishing to see them per
| sonally.

the plumbers of Washington lawfully COM
bne to keep up the wages of their craft
and deny the right Of any man to learn the
plumbers trade? If traffic association is
illegal because it unreasonably restrains
traffic, are not labor associations illegal,
which assume not only to determine the
rate of wages, but deny as well the right of
employers to engage such labor as they
please?
The officers of the Joint Traffic assoc a.

consideration. The officers of the asso-

President Mckinley has decided to send
a special commissioner to Cuba, the sup.
posed purpose of whose mission is to in
vestigate and report upon the death of Dr.
Ruiz. But it is understood in Washington
that he will also study and report to Presi-
dent Mckinley upon the general situation
in the island. Judge VIM. Il. Day of
Canton, Ohio, well-known lawyer, and a
close personal friend of the President, is
the man chosen to perform this task. He
will leave for Havana within few days
1t is said that the resignation of Consul
General Fitzhugh Lee will not be accepted
at present, as his services to the govern
ment are very valuable under the condi-
tion of things now existing.
