Patterson. TIIE FOURTH OF JUXiY. The Fourth of July is never an old story. The best sign for the future of the country is the ever recurring evidence that patriotism burns as brightly in the hearts of the American people today as when the old liberty bell proclaimed freedom "throughout the land." The Fourth is and has always been something more than a holiday. The celebrations, the flags, the fireworks and even the firecrackers are eloquent of the real meaning of the Day of Independence.

The foreigner who arrived, perhaps, but a few days ago hangs ont an American flag. He cannot speak a Word of the American language, perhaps, but the flag speaks for him. It tells that he is grateful for American protection, that he wishes to show that he, too, rejoices in the greatness of the great vepublic. The boy with the firecrackers may seem an annoyance; but do not drive him away. Those firecrackers echo the patriotism that is swelling youthful breast; they tell that he also is proud of his country and will do the best he can some day in its behalf on a larger field.

For Americans, and especially those whose ancestors endured privation, danger and death that independence might be won. the Fonrth of July is, in deed, a day rich in memories and crowded with heroic associations. The nation is great and prosperous. It is the cool and calm truth and not merely a boast that the United States of America is the greatest nation oa the face of the globe. It has a larger population of the intelligent and civilized races than any other country in the world.

In the event of which happily there is no United States could raise a larger force of efficient and intelligent soldiers than any other country. We have no vast military camps or conscripted army, but no nation on the globe conld compete with the army that could be raised in the event of necessity. In a potential sense, therefore, the United States is the greatest military power in existence. As for the navy, the United States has shown what can be done, and the history of the country is proof that we need fear no power on the ocean. In material wealth and resources the United States has no superior, and even Oreat Britain recognizes that the scepter of commerce and industry is following the star of empire to the west, Amid all this evidence of the greatness and prosperity of the nation it is 'hn by the Fourth of Joly of the struggles and the sufferings, the heroism and the sacrifice that made this greatnees possible.

As the Israelites, when in the full enjoyment of the promised land, went out at regular intervals in tents in order to keep in mind the desert journey of their forefathers, ao Independence day should keep forever green in American memory the brave men of the field and of the statesmen who wrung from obstinate and powerful Britain the acknowledgement that these were frefe, sovereign and independent States. And may the go down unnumbered ages, carrying to every human heart the lesson then taught of the inalienable rights of man. city of Lodz, in Poland, now a 1 part of Russia, and the chief textile 1 manufacturing town of that section 1 was the scene of a great riot, last Fri- day. Fifty people were killed and hundreds wounded. The rioting con- tinned on Saturday; Cossacks fired into the crowds, and altogether two thous- i and people were killed and wounded.

ON Thursday last, sitting in Phila- delphia, the State Supreme Conrt declared the "Cook Greater Pittsburg" bill to be unconstitutional, and the friends of annexation or consolidation will now resnt to the "Gbehring Act," 1 1 which gives the people of Allegheny city a separate vote on the question. The bill was declared to be local and special legislation forbidden by Art. 3, Sec. 7 of the Constitution. NINETEEN men, nearly all prominent in New York, Cleveland and Chicago business and professional life, were killed by the wreck of the Twentieth-Century Flyer on the Lake Shore, near Mentor, on Wednesday night of last week.

The wreck was caused by an open switch, and the train, which has been running on an eighteen hour schedule between Chicago and New York, was put back to its twenty-hour schedule. The Pennsylvania lines between N. Y. and Chicago are shorter than the New York Central's, and it will retain its eighteenhour schedule, thongh it has the curves and grades of the Alleghenies to contend with. FRANCE and Germany are fussing over the trade of Morocco, an almost barren country of northern Africa, chiefly noted for its outlaws; and it is known that Germany hurried many troops to the frontier la6t week, while France took occasion to reinforce some of its most important points.

Nothing seems to have been said of the respective navies, although they will doubtless I play an important part should war be declared. The French navy has almost double the number of guns on German ships, and the Frenchman is by no means an inefficient fighter on sea. To counteract this the German army has a war footing of 5,602,000 well-drilled soldiers, while the war footing of France is men. Each country can boast of well-drilled soldiers and efficient officers, France having devoted much time and money to keeping its defences in the best of order since its last defeat by Germany, while the work of the German army has never been permitted to fall below the high standard maintained for many years. Neither has been engaged in serious warfare for a number of years, and what might be accomplished in the field is to be demonstrated.

Peace and War Notes. Japan has selected her peace commissions in the persons of Messrs. Takahira ami Kouinra, and Russia has named Messrs. Nelidorf and Rosen, all men who have held official positions for the two countries: they to meet in Washington during the first ten days of Augnst. In Polanl and other parts of Russia the Red Flag is being raised and scenes of violence occnr every day.

The Czar may not have a sufficient number of effective troops to defend his Empire in the Far East, bnt there never seems a lack of Cossacks when it is necessary to shoot down the people of some city in Poland. The Russky Invalid, the army organ, supplies an argument for peace in an estimate of the strength of the Japanese armies, which it places at from 000,000 to 600,000 men, including the forces operating in Korea. In the five Japanese armies opposimg General Linevitch. exclusive of cavalry and artillery, it estimates that there are from 430,000 to 400,000 bayonets, which give Field Marshal Oyama a decided numerical superiority over the strength usually allotted to Linevitch's army. The Japanese forces, it says, are divided as follows: General Kuroki, 115,000 to 120.000 bayonets; General Oku, 110,000 to 000 bayonets; General Nogi, 85,000 to 90,000 bayonets: General Nodzu, 40,000 bayonets, and General Kawamura, 73,000 to 80,000 bayonets.

The Novoe Vremya prints an interview, which its correspondent at Paris had with a Japanese diplomat, who says that while nobody, outside of the Emperor of Japan and his principal advisers, is yet in possession of Japan's terms, he believes that they are moderate and will be acceptable. He adds that Japan is anxious to conclude a lasting peace, but that her attitude is not influenced by the slightest doubt as to her financial ability to continue the war, she having anticipated a much longer and more difficult period of hostilities. Yesterday fighting was reported on the Russian right, and Gen. Kuropatkin was reported killed, also 70,000 Russians cut-off by Gen. Nogi's army.

The Russian military experts expect Gen. Linevitch to retreat to Harbin. They think he cannot be surrounded on account of the length of bis lines, but will be forced to retreat. The wave of disorder spreading over Russia reached Odessa, Tuesday, where a strike prevails, with some bloodshed. All the news from Lodz is being suppressed.

At Odessea. yesterday, the crew of a Russian battleship muntinied, and murdered their officers, and a striker threw a bomb into a church, killing a police inspector. Chinese Getting Sptinky. The question of Chinese exclusion from the United States continues to occupy the attention of the Chinese. The extent and depth of the feeling manifested astonishes foreigners and is regarded as an evidence of the growth of a national sentiment of public spirit which five years ago would have been inconceivable.

Among many instances cited as evidence of this, it is said that a Chinese comprador has refused a lucrative appointment with an American company. Advertisements of American goods continue to be refused by the native newspapers, and letters and telegrams from all parts of China, as well as from abroad, are being received at Pekin, urging the Central Government to take a firm stand. Gov. PENNYPACKER is expected to make a number of important appointments, this week. ION PERDICARIS, recently held hostage by Raisnli, Moroccan bandit is devoting his energies at present to opposing French supremacy in Morocco.

He is giving off interviews and magazine articles with astonishing freedom, leaving the inference that he prefers a continuation of the misgovernment, punctuated by sensational kidnappings, that made his name known around the world, to a system of responsible control. EMPEROR WILLIAM of Germany visited all the American yachts at Kiel, last week, and on Saturday lunched with Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt on board the yacht North Star, and dined with Mrs. Goelet on the Nahma, that evening.

The only others present besides the imperial suite were Mrs. Goelet's party, consisting of Ambassador and Mrs. Tower, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, R. W.

Goelet and A. Riggs. IT is expected that the call for a "new deal" in the Republican party in Pennsylvania. growing out of the uncovering of fraud in Philadelphia, will be issued by the Republican County Committee of Tioga county next Saturdav. July 1.

The exact nature of the pro posed move is carefully concealed, but politicians on "the Hill" at Harrisburg, are anticipating something sensational from the special meeting of the Tioga committee, which has been called for that date. ABOUT 80,000 emigrants will land at Ellis Island, this month, and the total for the past year at that one point will be over a million. There has been little change in the general character of the immigrants in the fiscal year about to close. Lithuanians and Bohemians have been rushing here, mainly to work in the coal mines; Poles and Russians come and scatter throughout the country, many settling in sweatshops; Italians crowd in to do manual labor; Swedes and Greeks find their way to the northwest. There are fewer Germans than of former years and Ireland seems to have been thoroughly drained.

Silver to Sell. While trying to dispose of three large pieces of silver, which the police claim are the spoils of many robberies, Christ Fred Banen, aged 30, a Swiss, was arrested on Liberty avenae, Pittsburg, Monday, tickets found on the prisoner are expected to procure goods which victims of recent robberies may identify. Banen. according to the police, leads the dnal life of farmer and burglar. He was arrested last December by the Allegheny police for larceny and served a short sentence in the workhouse, and upon his release went tc a farm in Butler county.

About three weeks ago Banen secured lodging with the family of Mrs. Edward Spangler, 22G Henderson street, Allegheny Several days later Mrs. Spangler missed two silver watches. In a small satchel Benan had when arrested were three pigs of silver weighing close to 2o pounds. At Central station he said the silver had been given him by Mrs.

Spangler to melt. He said he had also melted two silver watch cases with the silverware and admitted having pawned three bars. Detective Rice found a small crucible in the prisoner's room. A Destructive Storm. The storm that passed over a section of the southern part of this county on Tuesday evening.

the 20th, was one of the most destructive on record. It seemed to be caused by the meeting of two or more storms over West Deer township in Allegheny it traveled due north in this county, nearly along the Clinton and Middlesex township line. W. J. Pacoe and Win.

Monks of that vicinity had all their crops mined, their corn and potatoes being cut to the ground. At different points the storm seemed to be a cyclone: a large hickory tree on Mrs. Kyle's place was twisted into splinters. At Jefferson Centre a number of rigs were npset; one rig was blown over upon the boiler house, and then two chestnut trees landed upon the rig; all the windows and doors of one house were blown in, and then some large cherry trees so twisted about the house that the inmates had to cut their way out. Some pieces of woods were so entangled that they were made impassible, and much timber was destroyed.

Barn doors were blown in. and window glass broken by the hail, along the entire route of the storm. The roof was lifted off one barn, and then the sides blown in. From Jefferson Centre the storm took a northeasterly course, passing in tbe vicinity of on through Clearfield twp. to the vicinity of Fenelton, cutting a swath in this county, about half a mile wide and twenty miles long.

Several remarkable escapes are reported, but no fatalities ACCIDENTS. JohnTemar, a foreign laborer, while at work beside a traveling crane in the car works, last Saturday, saw a chain slipping and about to precipitate a load of several thousand pounds of steel on workmen beneath, 'l'emar had plenty of time to leap to safety himself, but instead of doing so he shouted to the others and sprang to the crane to stop the falling mass long enough to allow them to get away. They escaped, but Temar's skull was fractured. Paddy Welsh of the First Ward was hurt in'a mill at Duquesne, Tuesday. James Green of the l3t Ward, an employee cf the Plate Works, and also Councilman, was badly cut on the leg by falling glass.

Tuesday. Victor Pacoe was the victim of a sad accident on the near Bartlev station, He is section boss there, and he stepped from the approach of the local and was run down by the work train. While a boy named Sicblac of near Anandale was cleaning his revolver, Monday, he accidently shot and killed his 8-year-old brother. CHURCH NOTES. Rev.

Fortunatis. pastor of an Italian United Presbyterian church in Pittsburg, will be in Butler, Friday, to examine a class of Italians who are about to join the Butler church. Children's Day was observed in the Grace Lutheran church, last Sunday evening. The church was crowded and the children rendered a fine program. Senator Mitchell's Trial.

At Portland, Oregon, last Saturday the cross examination of former Judge A. H. Tanner, the government's chief witness in the trial of United States Senator John H. Mitchell, charged with practicing before Federal departments while senator, elicited important testimony in favor of Senator Mitchell. It was shown by Tanner's evidence that Mitchell had warned Tanner not to involve the senator in any matters before the departments of the not to receive any remuneration for any services the senator might perform in Washington.

Tanner said that there was no understanding with Frederick Kribs that the money paid by Kribs to Tanner was in return for the services of Mitchell, and that the had no direct knowledge of the sources of his monthly remittances, his share of the earnings of the law firm of Mitchell Tanner. Tanner said that never to his knowledge did Mitchell ever see a check from Kribs to the firm for services renderec. Tanner testified that at the time of the changing of the original contract of 1897, which occurred in 1901, Mitchell was deeply involved in official business, and that the senator was shortly afterwards taken with a severe illness. The evidence of the Senator's private secretary, Harry Robertson, Monday, was against him. Senator Mitchell did not take the stand in his own defence, Tuesday, and the attorneys engaged talked to the Court and Jury.

Reunion of the Sechler Family. On last Thursday, June 23, 1905, a company of fortv-two persons assembled at the home of A. Sitler.

The well bridged over and the tools had to be run. When this was done it let go and the pressure was so great it lifted the tools out of the hole. The first hours production was 35 bbls. It was making 20 bbls. an hour Friday and was reported the same Saturday.

Some ten days ago the casing in this well had to be pulled on account of the water breaking in. One of the plugs driven in at that time was never recovered and it came out after the shot. This plug seems to have been retarding its output. Palm Co. are drilling on the Miller farm, adjoining Alameda Park.

Cold lJlooded Man. "Man is the coldest blooded animal there is," said a well known doctor.

"Man's low temperature," the doctor went on, "is responsible for more than half his ailments. Your normal temperature is US 1 degrees F. It is only when you have a bad temperature that you get as warm as any of the lower is so say, when you are in a high fever, with a temperature of 102, you are at the normal heat of the cat, the dog, the ox, the rat, and so on. In the coolest of seas the porpoise is never cooler than 100 degrees. The bat, the rabbit, the guinea pig.

In the days before the ports of Japan were opened to foreigners, before telegraphs, railroads and electricity had found their way into the island empire, the infrequent mails were carried by post runners, who wore the merest apology of a loin cloth and blue ami white rags around their heads. They wore for the most part an elaborate suit of tattoo, with a red star on each shoulder, the mark of their calling. The letters were incased in a waterproof package and secured to the end of a bamboo pole. With this over his' shoulder and a pair of fragile sandals on his feet the runner started on his long journey, making from 75 to 100 miles per day. The distance they covered seems Incredible, but the men were trained to speed and hail remarkable endurance.

Hill of the Folnon Plant. Close to the frontier of Nepal Is the mountain of Sandook-Fhn, which means in the Tibetan language "the hill of the poison plant," or aconite. This plant is so abundant and so deadly in its effects that all sheep anil cattle passing over the mountain are muzzled by their drivers. An English traveler saw at its foot great heaps of discarded bamboo nnrazies. Curiously enough, only those cattle that are newly imported from the plains are fatally affected.

The natives believe that the sheep of the district learn to shun the youngest leaves, which are the most virulent. A more likely explanation is that they grow habituated to the drug by taking It in small quantities. Royal XlKlit For more than 400 years a body of men known as the Monteros de Espinosa have enjoyed the exclusive privilege of watching over the sluirbers of the kings and queens of Spain They are bound by tradition to be na tives of Espinosa and to have Tfrith distinction in the army. One 01 these is on guard at the door of the bedroom of each royal personage in the palace, and the others, armed with huge halberds and wearing felt soled shoes, tread silently all through the night along the corridors and halls. Their service begins at midnight and ceases at 7 in the morning.

Crass Ignoranee. An east side lcindergartner was about to give her class a lesson, with The Kitten" as the subject. She began by 6ayiug: "Our lesson this morning will be all about the kitten. Now, can any little boy or girl tell me which grows on the kitten, fur or feathers?" A dead silence followed for a minute, when one little boy said in a loud voice: "G-o-o-d gracious! Hain't you never seen a kitten?" An Exception. A New York banker tells the story of two Irishmen who discussed the "nationality of the American states." Said Fat, "Faith an' be jabbers if this grate countliry ain't overrun wid th' Irish, an' yit out of all th' states In tli' Union not wan has an Irish name." "Sure an' yer wrong," replied Mike.
