Porto Rico Uuder the American Regime,
"While the Porto Ricans display their:
share OF worldly wisdom, and the Span
iards are little better, there are instances
where the true man speaks. Thus in
speaking with leading merchant, of
Ponce" writes the war correspondent,
Peter MacQueen, IN the National Maya
zine for October. II asked him if the
people were really go, delighted with the
new regime. We'll; frankly, no. he re-
piled, the mass will welcome any change,
but it is quite question whether we
shall gain by annexation to the United
States. I have lived in America. Now
the Spauiards taxed us heavily, but when
they got their money they went off and
let us alone. The custom house officers
stole nearly everything from the govern
ment. But then we have yet to SEQ how
the American custom house officers will
act. Spain knew us and we knew Spain;
there were few complaints. The church
tax was not heavy, and I never went to
service. We do not want the negroes
enfran chised till they are better educated.
Then the money question is going to be
bad for many Of us here. We shall suffer
if the American government makes our
dollars worth only fifty cents TIE man
who uttered these words is highly re-
spected citizen, speaks English we'll; and
understands America as we'll as Spain -

Sunday School Convention.

The people of Marienville did what
they could to make the third annual con-
vention Of the Forest County Sabbath
School association a success. The royal
words of welcome extended by the presi-
dent, DIR. fowler, were made emphatic
in the many acts of kindness by the poo
pie. The weather was very warm, but
this did not hinder the attendance of del
egates and those interested, and a real
oarnestness in the meetings. The prin-
cipal instructors were Gen. Secretary,
Rev. Cbas. Roads, and Mrs. ]. Wood
bridge Barnes. This was DR.. Roads first
visit to Forest county, but he surely will
be welcome if he comes again, as his
whole life seems centered on the study
of the Word of God and its relation to
s. s. work, and he is able to present his
thoughts in very pleasant way. Mrs.
Barnes need not be introduced to a Tio-
nesta audience, and we need only to say
that she did not disappoint the people of
Marienville. Revs. Miller, McAninch,
Blackburn, Stewart, Earseman, DR.. Porter
and Mr.. Ritchey did much towards the
interest of the meetings by their discus
sions on the different subjects. Papers
were read by Mrs. Josiah Work, Mrs. w.
w. Kribbs, Mrs. A. j. Wallace, and Miss
Mamie Morrow. One of the pleasing
features of the convention was the choir
which rendered some delightful music
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows Pres, DR.. fowler; V. Pres, f. r..
Lanson /; Rec. Sec., o. f. Miles Cor. Sec,
and Treas, Mrs. NJ. V. Patterson Supt.
Home Department, Mrs. James Gilillan /;
Executive Committee, Il. f. Ritchey,
Mrs. Clauges, Arthur Weant, Mrs, w. G..
wilkins, Josiah Wcrk. Miss Anna And
erson, and the officers. The time and
place of holding the next annual meeting
will be fixed by the executive commit
tee.

Drowned i'm Clarion River.


Bert Hutchinson, son of a widowed
mother living near Tylersburg, Clarion
county, was drowned in the Clarion riv-
er, at Thompson's eddy, below Cooks
burg, on Sunday last. In company with
number of friends the young man left
home in the morning to spend the day on
the banks of the river. About noon they
concluded to take bath, and one of their
number, young man named John
Campbell, getting beyond his debthi was
drowning when Hutchinson went to his
assistance, neither being expert swim
mers. For time it seemed both would
drown, but after great efforts on the part
of others, Cambell was gotten out, but
Hutchinson went under and was drown
ed in about 10 feet of water. His body
was soon recovered, but life was extinct.
The remains were brought to his home
and the funeral was held yesterday. Tho
young man was aged about 21 years, and
was well thought of by his neighbor as
sociates.

Letter From Private Geo. Birtcil.


Through the kindness of the Woman's
Relief Corps we are permitted to publish
the following letter from our young SOL
dier friend George Birtcil =
CHICAMAUGA, GA, June 8, '9S.
Ladies of the w. r. G. and Friends of
Tionesta:-
received the box you expressed to
me. 1t was in fine condition, nothing
being spoiled or broken. / can not tell
you how thankful am to all of the kind
friends and ladies, and / doubt whether
you can know how greatly everything
will be appreciated by Inc and my COM
rades. We were living on short rations
until few days ago, and there is no
danger of any of us being afflicted with
the gout from eating too much fine food.
We get enough to eat now, and they have
sunk we'll for our regiment so we have
plenty of water, though it is not the good
water you have in the dear cid hills of
Pennsylvania. We have very fine
camp, but it is very dusty having had
but one shower of rain since our arrival,
and the weather is very hot. We don't
have to drill for few days, having all
been yaccinated a lew days ago, and our
arms are very sore. 1 don't think it will
be very long before will be at home to
thank each one Of you personally. Chas.
Leonhart sends thanks and kind regards
to his cousins. We are very anxious to
be moved to the front. Camp life is be-
coming very tiresome 10 all of us. Please
excuse poor writing and dirty paper.
My knee is my desk. Thanking you
again, reniain,
Very truly your friend
