A PAssAGEwAY CLOSED.

The passageway through the Congre- gational sheds has finally been closed and now the man that goes that way in crossing toward the Center school will find himself confronted by an eight-foot fence. It is almost too bad to have this path closed as at all seasons of the year 8 great many people besides school chill dren used it, and especially during the summer months people going to and fro in visiting the Evergreen cemetery. Now they will have to go around by Mrs c. T. Hickox's or else by the resi- dence of H. P. Welton. This in time will become natural but for the present it comes hard, especially if one gets as far as the fence and then has to turn back. 4 man said last week that he sdid not often swear at church ssociety, but just then he was ready to swear at the society and everyone who had anything to do with putting up the fence.

THE PEACE TREATY RATIFIED

The treaty of peace regotisted between the commissioners of the United States and Spain at Paris was ratified by the United States Senate on Monday, the vote being 57 ayes to ? nsys, or one vote more than the two-thir6s ms sj9rity neces- sary to secure senatorial concurrence in a treaty document. The vote was taken in executive session. No vote has been taken in the Senate since that on the re- peal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man law that has been followed with as close interest as was the vote of Monday. The anxiety wss due not only to the mag nitude of the question at issue but also to the uncertainty which attended the matter up 10 the last moment. IL marked the close of one of the most bitterly fought contests known since the homo able body came into existence. The de- tailed vote on the ratification of the treaty was as follows:
