THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR. LETTER Gossip of Importance and Interest From the National Capital, -CUR BUDGET OF TIMELY TOPICS The Herald's Special Correspondent at the National Capital Writes of the Latest and Host Absorbing Events at Washington Governmental Forecas- Washington, Aug. 18, pro posed Cuban loan of $86,000,000 is stil commanding considerable attention from the officials at Washington. It has been indirectly the occasion of a renewal of the gossip in regard to extra session of Congress to be called in November for the purpose of ratifying a treaty with Cuba which has caused no little anxiety in regard to Cuba's future. The State Department, in the absence of A GOOD MOTHER DEAD.

Airs. Ottilia Miller Passed Away at Her Home on Bald Eagle Avenue. Mrs. Ottilia Wirshing Miller died at her home, 1340 Bald Eagle avenue, at 12.30 o'clock Thursday, from a compilation of diseases originating in an attack of pneumonia in November, 1900. Though ailing for many months her affliction did not take dangerous form nn til two weeks ago.

She was aged at death 61 years, 3 months and 19 days. The deceased was the widow of Adelbert Miller, who died in Tyrone January 3, 1891. She was born in Heustren, Germany, on the 35th of April, 1841, and came with her husband from her native country direct to Tyrone in the year 1869, and had lived here since that time. She is survived by three sons and one daughter viz: John August Ambrose and Matilda Miller, all residing at the family home in Tyrone. One sister survives and resides in Germany.

She was a member of St. Matth- Briefs of News of Real Local Importance.

Hazel Arietta, daughter of James and Mertie Dickson, died at the home of her grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Madison, at Birmingham, Friday evening last, aged 7 months and 8 days.

Secretary Hay. referred the news of the proposed loan to the Treasury Department on the ground that, being a financial matter, it came under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Treasury. Secretary Shaw, after giving the matter some consideration, decided that he had no jurisdiction and returned the papers to the State Department, and it is now held that the United States has no authority in the matter pending the ratification of a treaty with Cuba which shall make the provisions of the Platt amendment binding on both parties. In the meantime, Senor Quesada, the Cuban minister has expressed surprise and regret at the attitude assumed by the press of this country in regard to the loan. He says that in the first place the Vias" so tar, otfly Biased the Sennate and still awaits the action of the House and the signature of the President.

Moreover, he regards it as extraordinary that the friends of Cuba should assume that her government would act on other than business principles. He says that if the loan is finally negotiated provisions will have been made for the payment of the interest and the setting aside of a sinking fund. He believes that a part of the loan scheme includes the assessment of an internal revenue tax, similiar to the war revenue tax recently collected by the United States, and by that means sufficient funds will be raised to make the loan a sound business proposition. Mr. Quesada contends that the business interests of Cuba will be served by the negotiation of a loan, that assistance can thereby be rendered to the sugar planters and a large sum of money will be placed in circulation which will make for the general prosperity.

While the minister is too diplomatic to put it in just these words, his position is largely this; the United States has rofused to Cuba the reciprocal concessions for which she asked and has said to her: "We have done enough for you. Now shift for yourself." Cuba is now preparing to shift for herself along lines that her best statesmen regard as advisable, and it seems peculiar ews Catholic church, and was a Christian woman faithful to her religious professions, and a devoted and painstaking mother in the care of her family. The funeral was held Saturday morning. Services at St. Matthews church at 9 o'clock by Rev.

For Huntingdon County Soldier.s At the annual meeting of the Huntingdon County Veteran association at Alfarata park, Alexandria, yesterday. M. S.

Lytle presented a resolution, which was unanimously adopted providing for the appointment of a committee of five to consider the subject of permanent memorial to the soldiers of Huntingdon county who fought in the Rebellion, We transfer from the Morning Tribune Mr. Lytle's remarks in support of his motion to our own columns, as fellows, for the benefit of our Huntingdon couuty readers: Instead of a shaft of marble or granite and the usual statuary, I favor a memorial hall, a building emblematic of the services of those who defended the union, and, at the same time, useful to this and coming generations. It would be built partly by appropriations made by the county, the duty of caring for and preservihg it would devolve upon the county authorities, and it would thus be a perpetual memorial, to endure as long as the county, the commonwealth or the republic. But this memorial should have some special features essential to the character of the building, which -would call for popular support in its erection and in furnishing and fitting it for the purposes intended. The Grand Army of the Republic should be largly considered in the design for the structure, and should have a place in it as long as the organization is in existence.

It should contain an assemblage hall, of sufficient capacity in which free lectures might be given and meetings of a social or educational nature, or in any way for the public benefit, may be held. ID it should be a public library. This could probably be obtained by private contribution after The funeral of the late Catharine Goheen was held Wednesday after-, noon, Rev. J. H.

Bergstresser and family returned from a weeks' visit with friends corded in seventeen counties, the recorji- that the United States should step in and attempt to interfere with the plans they adopt as for the best interest of Cuba. It is regarded as extremely likely that the president will call the Senate in extra session and that he will present for ratification a treaty which will confirm the provisions of the Platt amendment aud at the same time make the tariff concessions on Cuban imports which he advocated at the last session. On the other hand, Senator Burrows has made it known that he does not regard it as within the power of the Senate to modify the existing tariff schedules without the concurrence of the House and that fact is likely to receive the careful consideration of the president before any decisive action is taken. There is current a report to the effect that Mr. Roosevelt will reverse the policy of President McKinley and will lend the assistance of the Administration to Mr.

Addicks of Delaware in his efforts to become a senator from that state. So far it has been impossible to secure any positive confirmation of the story but it is evident that the Republican organization is in serious straits in that state. Unless Mr. Addioks and Col. Dupout arrive at a settlement of their differences in the near future it is feared that the Democrats may secure the control of the legislature and possibly send two Democrats to the Senate.

In view of so serious a situation, it is possible that the president may decide that the good of the party as a whole demands that he render such assistance to the friends of Mr. Addioks as will secure his election. The report was sent out, one day last week, that Senator Scott of West Virginia had been deputed to support the contest of Mr. Addioks, but the senator denies that, nevertheless, the officials in Washington regard it as extremely likely that the fear of losing two senators to the Democrats has impelled the president to throw his assistance to the man whom he regards as the stronger in the fight. The Ebensburg fair opens Tuesday.

the building was erected, or if not, then by the method provided by law. In such a building could be preserved the names and records of the men from Huntingdon county who offered or sacrificed their lives for their country, and relics of that great war, which may yet be gathered. In these respects such a building is to be preferred to a monument. But the surviving soldiers of the war cannot of themselves secure the erection of this memorial. They can do much to secure it, but they must have the aid and co-operation of the people of the country, whose money, to a large extent, must pay for it.

If we cannot obtain their help it would hardly be possible to make the project a success. For this reason petitions must be circulated through the county, as provided by the act of assembly authorizing the erection of soldiers' monuments, to see how far the people will favor and encourage it with their signatures. To do this would be the duty of the committee and subcommittees provided for in the resolution. Road Laws. The act of assembly approved March 28, 1900, merits more consideration than it seems to be receiving in any localities.

The law provides that the owner or occupant of land abutting on any highway in any township shall, during September of each year, out and remove all briars, brush aud weeds, and in case of failure to do this the township committee shall cause such work to be done and the owner shall pay such expense incurred with costs, if suit is necessary before a justice of the peace. The law also fixes a penalty against any person who shall place in any public street or highway of the state broken glass, bottles, loose stones or other materials that are a nuisance and liable to ing fees alone amounting to $500. tracts of land in this -county located Logan and Catharine townships, are included in the mortgage.

During the summer 1901 a few people born In Gentre county but living; in Blair county suggested the pleasure of a reunion Centre county people who had come to this county to reside.

That making fires by hunters who are standing on deer or other runways' is positively forbidden. "Resolved, That it shall be considered a standing order to all of our forest officers who may be charged with the execution of these resolutions, to immediately summon a constable and arrest those who are in violation of laws or regulations providing for the safety of the forestry reservations, as is provided for by the act of April, 9,1897 P. 29 entitled, "An act to authorize constables and other peace officers, without first procuring a warrant, to arrest persons reasonably suspected by them of offending agaiusc the laws protecting timber lands." "Resolved, Thatevery forest officer of the state be notified that he is to afford all proper facilities to parties camping on state lands, so long as said campers respect and protect the property of the commonwealth, and that said law-abiding campers shall have the right tp.move point, on said reservations, without hindrance from any state forest officer The Hard Working Hen. There are many reasons why the hen, and not the eagle, should be the national bird. Among them is the growing discontent our best feel for the eagle, whjcb bird has never given thorough satisfaction because of its low down nature.

The eagle is a cowardly creature and never makes war except on weaker things. It never earned an honest dollar in its life, and its daily food is stolen from some poor bird too small or too weak to defend itself and its property. Moreover, the eagle swoops down upon children, lambs and other innocent things and bears them to its home in the mountain crags. This alone is sufficient to oust it from the position of being the bird of America and prevent its picture from continuing on our dollar, says the Chicago, Daily News. The hen, however, is a sweet-tempered, hard-working, productive creature.

She is identified with our home life and our domestic and national prosperity. She lays 129,000,000 worth of eggs every year, or four and fraction eggs for each individual in the laud. When the eagle is loafing around waiting to steal something to eat, the modest hen is attending to business. And after a life of activity, laying eggs cackling, laying more eggs aud hatching little chicks, she gives up her life that the American boarding house may thrive and wax fat. How much better the hen than the vice-chairman, and J.

W. Smith, retary. The reunion was held Sept. 3 1901, and about 500 people were there to renew friendships of childhood or school days, or make new ones. There was a good time for everybody.

Officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows animals. And any overseer of highways who places crushed stones or gravel on the roads, of an inch and one- half or more in diameter, and omits to cover the same with fine earth or screenings, shall be fined 30 for snob offense. President, Frank S. Musser first president, Mr. Wagner, both of Altoona second vice president, A.

B. Strnble, Tyrone secretary, J. W. Smith treasurer, Adam Buoher, Altoona. The president appointed all who are willing to work on the general committee which is headed by the officers of the association.

This year the reunion will be held next Saturday, Aug. 38, in Glasgow's grove, a short distance west of Bellwood. All ex-Centre county people living in Blair are urged to go, because there will be recreation for all. Every ope may take as many friends along as if desired. The Tyrone and Altoona trolley lines will carry the people to the entrance to the grove.

bald eagle for our national bird. As a just recognition of her supremacy in the money producing industries she should displace the eagle. The domestic side of her life long since endeared her to every home in the Union. Oalm, gentle, somewhat coy, she is nevertheless a strong, courageous, unoomprioms- ing foe to all the eagle is. We hope to see her visage stamped on our moneys and become the national bird of freedom.

The Aid Society of the United Brethren church will hold an exchange, Saturday August 80. The place where it will be held will be announced later. A guess cake will be given away to some one.

The smooth raised edge around the face of modern coins, and inclosing the device as a frame incloses a picture, not only adds a great deal to the beauty of the piece, but serves a double utilit- He occupied purpose, first to protect the design Mr. Schwab from wear, and second to afford a horizontal surface so that tjhe coins may be piled up vertically one on top of another without danger of toppling over. As soon as the raised edge is worn from a coin it loses its clear beauty of design and fast degenerates into a mere characterless disk of metal..
