tumorous grpartramt. Webster And The Plow.?Daniel Webster, when at home at Marshfield, would never speak on politics when there; but be would talk to the assembled neighbors and guests on matters pertaining to farming. On one occasion some Boston friends presented him with an enormous plow to use on his farm. Webster gave out word that on a certain day it would be christened. The day arrived, and the surrounding farmers for miles came to witness the event. A dozen teams with aristocratic occupants came down from Boston. It was expected by everyone that Webster would make a great speech on the occasion, reviewing the history of farming back to the time when Cincinnatus abdicated the most mighty throne in the world to cultivate cabbages in his Roman garden. "The plow was brought out, and ten yoke of splendid oxen were hitched in front. More than two hundred people stood around on the tiptoe of expectation. Webster soon made his appearance. He bad been calling spirits from the vasty deep, and his gait was somewhat uncertain. Seizing the plow handles and spreading his feet, he yelled to me in his deep bass voice ; " 'Are you ready, Wright?' " 'All ready, Mr. Webster,' was the reply, meaning, of course, for the speech. "Webster straightened himself up by a mighty effort and shouted : "'Then, let her rip!' "The whole crowd dropped to the ground and roared with laughter; while Webster, with his big plow, proceeded to rip up the soil. The same plow can now be seen on top? of the Faneuil Hall market in Boston and is1 a conspicuous object for miles around." ?Lewiston Journal. His Own Tbap.?There is a young man in the pension office who is buying a house on the installment plan at a town somewhere between this city and Baltimore, and his dear little wife lives out there. It is his wont to come in early of a morning and go out again on the 5.80 train when his day's work is done. A few days ago he met an old friend from Chicago, and yielding to the entreaties of that old friend, he decided to spend the evening in town. He was so afraid wifie would feel hurt if she knew that he had deliberately planned an evening's good time without counting her in, that he manfully resolved to deceive her. Accordingly as he came away from the office be went to a telegraph office and sent this message to her: "Unavoidably detained. Missed 5.80 train. Will be out later." It was a great deal later when he reached his happy home. Wifie met bim at the door, and there was a look in her eye that every married man learns to know and instinctively to dread. "Did you get my message precious ?" be asked, as he kissed her tenderly, holding his breath meanwhile as a precautionary measure. "Yes, dear," she made answer, and when a woman calls her husband "dear" that way, you can cut loose from the weather bureau and prognosticate a few things on your own hook. "Yes, dear, I received your message. Here it is." There it was, sure enough. It was marked as plain as plain could be, "Received at 4:23." He hadn't thought of that.?Washington Post. Lies In The AppLiCATiON.?"Cuba," said one of the national committeemen?it wouldn't be fair to give his name?"in her present attitude reminds me of the man out in my part of the country who was going over a covered bridge one night. He came across a fellow tied to a post and all but insensible. "'What are you doing here?' he asked. "'Why some robber got me, tied me to this post, took all the money I had, except $30 in my inside vest pocket, and ran away." " 'Did you hollow ?' " 'Yes, I hollered like thunder ; but nobody heard me.' " 'Sure nobody heard you ?' " 'Yes.' " 'And can't you get away ?' " 'No, I'm tied fast; I can't get away.' "'Well,' said the man who was crossing the bridge, 'if that's the case I guess I'll take the $30 myself*' "And that's about how it was when the Indiana fellows got into Cuba.? New York World. Settled Out of Court.?a barrister riding his bicycle on a path was caught by a policeman. The gentleman at once came off the path and tried to reason with the policeman. "You arn't really going to run me in for this?" he asked. "Yes, sir. I can't help it." "Well, come in here (a public house close by), and we will talk about it." The policeman followed the gentleman, who ordered two glasses of beer, one for himself,, the other for the policeman, both of which were finished before he again remarked. "Surely you are not really going to make a fuss about this ?" "I must, sir. It's my business." It A "U. t HPUam of fVio Damn fimq if. rail 1 XXLI ; LliCU Ctb tuv ouiuu vimv >v ?* * be my business to report you for drinking beer while on duty." The policeman's expression suddenly changed.

UP IN THE FROZEN NORTH. Soldiers Build Quarters In the Snow. WHERE DAYS ARE SIX MONTHS L0N6 Grand and Beautiful Scenery In th< Mountains and Along Shore?Plenty of Hard Work to Keep On< Busy?Lieutenant Allison Tells ol His Surroundings In Alaska. Correspondence of the Yorkrille Enquirer. Port Valdez, Alaska, June 15.? I have not forgotten that I promised The Enquirer a letter when I was ordered out of the United States, and i would nave written it sunie uuio but for the press of business since ] landed here. On the 16th of April I left Columbus Barracks, Ohio, fof Seattle, Wash ington, pursuant to "Special Orders No. 44, Headquarters Department ol I the Lakes," dated April 13,1900. I bad a delightful and pleasant trip out west over the Pennsylvania, Burlington and Great Northern railroads, arriving at Seattle, Washington, about half past 9 o'clock p. m., on the 20tb of April. On the 21st I reported to General Randall, commanding the department of Alaska, for duty, as directed, and my first order was to proceed to the wharf and superintend the loading of the United States transport "Rosecrans," a transport I hope I shall never see again. I succeeded in getting the supplies for Port Valdez, or at least what was remaining, loaded aboard the transport by the afternoon of April 23rd, at which time my company?Company G, Seventh infantryarrived under the command of Captain Jas. B. Jackson, a Kentuckian, and one of the finest officers in the service. We?Captain Jackson, Lieutenant G. W. Otwell, battalion adjutant, Seventh infantry ; Dr. Arwine, acting assistant surgeon, company G, Seventh United States infantry; 53 civilian employes and myself? steamed out the next morning at about half past 4 o'clock, and I was all right until about 12 o'clock, at which time we left Pudget Sound and rolled into the Pacific, so named, I have always been told, on account of its "peaceful waters." If so, then I want to brain Balboa. I believe he named it. He was the grandest liar this world has ever produced, for during the entire voyage at sea I could hardly tell if we were on our heads or feet. I mean the crew. I had no trouble in telling what I was on, for I don't think I got off my back until we reached Prince William's sound, about 75 miles from Port Valdez. Then I really enjoyed the ride up the narrow sound, about 40 miles wide, and fringed with mountains on either side 5,000 feet high ; but you may just excuse me from the sea. I often prayed that the transport would never come up again when she would make a lunge and the waves from the "peaceful" ocean would go entirely over the deck ; and I fully believe my prayer would have been answered if she had not been one of the best small transports in {he service. She is 860 feet long and a fine boat, bought by the government from the North Pacific Whaling company for $150,000. We steamed into Port Yaldez, Sunday morniDg, April 29, about half past 10 o'clock, fired a bomb to attract the attention of Captain W. R. Abercrombie, Second U. S. infantry, commanding the Copper River Exploring Expedition, who has been, for the last two years, at Yaldez, a small mining town four miles across the bay. We found the captain was in the interior, ^hich fact we learned from an engineer soldier who came abroad the transport and showed us the site selected for the post by the chief engineer officer of the department. .In the afternoon, the commanding officer, the captain of the transport, the superintendent of construction and myself all went ashore to look for a place to land the supplies for the post. We found seven feet of snow, and although the weather was comparatively warm, there was a thick . ? . c ?i? ?? crust OU tup Ui tun buuw nuitu uau formed during the long and cold winter. On the morning of April 30th, we commenced to land and pile on top of the snow the supplies for the post, and succeeded in rafting over one-and-ahalf million feet of lumber and supplies in portion, on shore by the afternoon of May 8th. When you consider all of the stuff had to be rafted, there being no wharf here, by a company of 109 soldiers and 53 civilian employes, and in so short a time, you can form some idea of the idle moments we spent. The snow melted quite rapidly, so when we started to raise the first building on May 15th, we had to move only four feet of snow to get to the surface so we could construct a foundation. The snow has entirely left the ground at the post now, so we expect to get along a little better with the building. We were a little frightened, on May 29th, when we had a heavy snow storm and it lay on the ground until six inches had fallen ; but it all soon disappeared when the sun came out and the hot and long days got in their work. Barring the snow storm and some little rain, we have had very fine weather since our arrival here, the temperature rising at times to eir ; Dut about the middle, of July the rainy season sets in and they say we don't have any more clear weather until sometime in September. Then the winds come down from the cold glacier so you can hardly stand it. Port Valdez is situated at the head of Prince William's sound, about 62? north, on a small strip of land about one mile wide between high tide and the mountains, which rise for 5,000 feet above sea level. The melting snow on these mountains gives rise to thou sands of small waterfalls down the mountains, making the scenery around ; here perfectly grand. Just across the bay is the Valdez glacier, a shining sheet of ice about two miles wide and fully a thousand feet high, slowly t moving to the sea, where it melts as it comes in contact with the sea water. This, in itself, is a beautiful sight and worth any one's time to come to see. I can't imagine why tourists don't come to this country to spend their summers. With all this great country I am not 5 having much fun or pleasure. While * at Columbus barracks, with a good > corps of clerks, I thought I was workf ing awfully hard ; but "I jumped from the frying pan into the fire" when I came up.here. Besides my duties as post quartermaster in constructing the I post, I am the depot quartermaster for this post.

All this work, with only soldier clerks, is calculated to keep a man quite busy. ) Our days here now Sre continuous. P Of course, the sun goes down ; but it never gets too dark to read without a t light. I am writing this now at 10 o'olock p. m., and it is broad daylight. But, of course, the conditions will be ' reversed as fall comes and the days begin to grow shorter, until we never ( see the sun at all. I understand, however, that it is always twilight here, at least a part of the day, the whole year I round, so we will not be fn total darkness for a long time, as are our less fortunate brethren farther up the coast. [ ' The Indians here are a curiosity. They always come to see us and invariably want medicine from us. They [ call us all "McKinley men." The other day one asked me for some med icine. I was in the commissary at the time, so gave him a pill I made of baking powder. He swallowed it and went away. A day or so afterwards I saw him again and asked him about it. He rubbed his belly and said, "Hot stuff, McKinley man; hot stuff." J. B. Allison. THE MAN TO SAVE CHINA. * ' Kong To Wal, Once The Emperor's Adviser, Now Leader of the Chinese Reform Party. Alnslee's Magazine. "It is probably fortunate that there ' existed at this time the very energetic, scholarly and able Kong Yo Wai, whom the Emperor had taken into his confidence. Kong had been educated abroad. He was a master of political history and an adept in statecraft. His brilliant mind foresaw the dissolution of the empire, which would follow the war with Japan. Prior to the i war be bad addressed many pennons to the emperor urging him to take radical steps to prevent the fatal proi cess, and the emperor, struck with the wisdom of the man, summoned him to his council. What was done through the guidance of the new statesman is a matter of history. Reforms of the most sweeping character were inaugui rated and Kong Yo Wai fell from power, along with his superiors. Through shrewd planning, and by aid of the self-sacrificing loyalty of the emperor, Kong escaped from the plots of the > empress dowager and her adherents, and at once turned bis restless and ; determined ambitions for the good of bis country into new lines of activity. Through Kong Yo Wai's genuis the , Po Wong Woey, or Reform party, was i organized. Seemingly, the influence that had touched the emperor and opened bis eyes to the possibilities of modern civilization had touched thousands of other individuals in similar manner. For many years education and enlightenment bad been making steady, although very slow, progress through the nation. The missionary, the traders, the traveler and the sportsman had been almost every where among the people, and their influence had created a vague yearning i for better things than those of the ancient exclusiveness. Many Chinai men bad been abroad for education, i Many had been abroad in America and Europe in mercantile adventure, and i returned to their homes filled with ideas more or less modern. Many more had felt the effect of the immediate neighborhood of Hong Kong and Macao, Portugal's little island near i Canton. When, therefore, Kong Yo Wai was so dramatically deposed, a spontaneous sympathy for both him and for his ideas came to life in all the eastern portions of the empire. He became at once the nat-, ural leader. Chinamen rallied to him from everywhere. He had but to appear in the neutral port of Macao and make bis purposes known in order to gather about him the nucleus of the great movement now known as the Po Wong Woey. This organization aims to be all that its name implies. It proposes to reform the Celestial empire, overturn the traditions and seclusions that have existed for five thousand years, open the door of the nation to the civilized world, build public schools, construct a great navy, organize a merchant marine and make the nation one of the great factors in modern institutions nnd nHvnnnempnt The nroBTftmmfi is an ambitious one. People older in the ways of civilization than China might well balk at it. But there seems to be tremendous determination in this instance which grows greater with every reverse. Already the membership of the society has extended to over 25,000,000 subjects of the empire, and its influence ramifies through all provinces and all courts. Despite the deposition of the emperor, who was practically an element of the society, the power of the organization presses more closely upon the throne, and it looks as if it might be only a question of , time before the empress dowager either puts into the deposed youth's place a . successor chosen by the Po Wong Woey, or submits to the same fate she has inflicted upon Kwaug Hsu."

Court was called yesterday, Judge Benet presiding, and the other regular officials being in their places. Judge Benet did not deem it necessary to instruct the grand jury in their duties at this term. The solicitor handed the grand jury two indictments; one against Ed Miller for larceny, and the other against James B. Lindsey foi murder. This is the case that happen ed at the Springstein mills, in which Walter Weathers was the victim. The jury brought in true bills in both cases Miller is sick in jail and unable tc come to trial. Lindsey's case was set for 3 o'clock. The court proceeded, however, to get the jury ready. Oc suggestion of the solicitor, each juror called was put upon his voire dire The first was John M. Simpson, who was challenged by the defence. 0. B. Kee was sworn. Geo. B. Foote was challenged by the state. W. M. Stoli was objected to by the defense. E. H, Hardin, in response to the question whether he was opposed to capital punishment, answered that on circumstantial evidence he was, and the court told him to stand aside. Mr. Glenn, of counsel for the defense, suggested that there might be some misunderstanding as to the meaning of the question. While a man might be opposed to the law inflicting capital punishment, yet he might conscientiously find a verdict under the law. Judge Benet said there is no statute in this state applying in this case, that we are guided by decisions of the supreme court based upon the New York statute, and it was made to apply where the law already existed. Decisions also show that the objection is to a man opposed to capital punishment, sfnd not to one opposed to the law for that penalty. The Statement was made?by the solicitor we believe, and assented to, at least by silence on the part of Lindsey's counsel?that the plea of the accused would be self-defense, and, therefore, would not involve circumstantial evidence as to his guilt, as the killing is not denied. The judge cited a decision of Judge Fraser which seemed to exclude the juror. However, with some reluctance, he allowed Mr. Hardin to be presented, and he was challenged by the state. T. M. Saunders was objected to by the state. E. W. Carter was accepted, and sq was A. N. Grant. Lucius Howze admitted that he had expressed some opinion as to the case and was stood aside. Jas. Hamilton, Jr., J. R. Estes, J. 8. Anderson and J. D. Glass were sworn. W. C. Agnew and H. J. McKeown were challenged by the defense. S. M. McDill, Jr., and S. J. Curry were sworn. The state ob jected to W. A. Latimer. E. J. Dye was accepted. The defense challenged T. B. Bell. W. T. Ligon and J. Q. Thomas completed the 12 good and i true men. As the taking of testimony was not to begin then, Judge Benet spent some time very profitably, instructing the jury in their duties, having special reference to the plea of selfdefense. The taking of testimony began at 3 o'clock. Court adjourned at at 5 o'clock on account of the funeral if Mr Tnaonh Wvlie.. As we KO tC V* y W press the testimony is about closing, the defendant being on the stand. ^LANCASTER -Ledger, July 4: -Married, on Saturday last, June SO, 1900, at Flat Creek church, by Rev. T. A.

McDow of Columbia, a son by her first husband. Miss Anna Kennington, daughter of Mr. Geo. W. Kennington, died last Sunday afternoon at the Lancaster cotton mill. She bad been in general bad health for a long time and her death was not unexpected. She was about 30 years of age. Mr. J. Wren Tillman brought-in a sample of grass from his cotton field last Saturday afternoon. The three tufts of wire grass made a sack full and weighed about 25 pounds. The runners were about three feet long. Mr. T. laughed and said be might have gotten a better sample if he had gone into some of his neighbor's fields. Everybody reports crops very grassy. A horse from the Lancaster Mercantile Co's. stables got away trom a aaraey about a mile east of town Sunday morning and made havoc of a brand new $85 Columbus buggy.
