Mrs. Mary Newman Brister, who
was born in Trappe, Montgomery conn
ty, Pa, on June s, 1850, has oelebrat-
ed her one hundredth birthday. She
was never sick in her life until last
year, and then she had fever, which
prostrated her for q short time. She
is now in excellent health. She lives
with her son and daughter, Lewis Bris-
ter and Miss Ann Brister both very
old people and the last of ten children
Mrs. Brister's maiden name was Fry.
She twas married lin Philadelphia in
1900 to George Brister, who was FIVE
years bis senior. He vent to war in
1872, and was at the battle of New
Orleans. He died in 1850 George
Fry, Mrs. Bristers, father was potter
but followed the business of transporting
goods by pack horses from Philadelphia
westward. He was born in Bucks
county in 1870, and was in Braddock's
campaign against the French and In-
dians in 1855. In 1888, at the age of
l03, be started from Philadelphia to
walk to Indiana to visit relative who
was living there. He walked all the
way to Cincinnati whence he wrote
back to his family. That was the last
ever heard of him.
James Hillman a we'll to-do and re-
spectacle farmer, living between Or
wigsburg aud Landingville, is the au-
thority for the following remarkable
story: Mr.. HiIlmsn has on his farm
fifteen acres of timber, which Is joined
to two pieces of woodland of about the
same size. One morning during the
early part of last week Mr.. Hillman's
attention was attracted by large focks
of crows which came from the South,
and as if by common consent settled in
the woods mentioned above. During
the ensusing three days the crows were
reinforced By new aIrivais.until seven
thousand were present, and the noise
they made attracted the attention of
the people for miles around. Sentinel
crows we're posted on the fences around
the woods and through them the ap-
proach Of man was quickly communi-
Gated to the body of the crows. The
crows remained in this patch of woods
until Monday morning, when they all
left about the same time taking their
course Of fight in northwestsrly di-
rection They left the woods IN focks
containing two or three hundred each
at intervals of five or ten minutes, and,
the departure of one of these focks,
was the signal for loud and prolonged
caving on the part of those remaining
behind. They all departed in the same
direction, and the last flock took to
wing an hour after the first started.
Since then there has not been a crow
seen in the neighborbood. Mr.. Hill
man says that during their stay in his
woods the crows did not commit any
depredations on the neighboring corn
fields, and but few of tfiem ventured
beyond the confines of the timber.

Republican Platform Adopted at
Chicago.

The Republican party, in National
Convention assembled, at the end of
twenty years since the Federal Gov
ernment was first committed to its
charge, submits to the people of the
United States this brief report of its
administration. 1t suppressed rebel
lion, which had armed nearly a mil
lion of men to subvert the national
authority. Itreconstructed the Union
of the States with freedom instead
of slavery as its corner stone. 1t
transformed 100000 human beings
from likeness Of things to the rank of
citizens. 1t relieved Congress from
the Infamous work of hunting fugi-
tive slaves, and charged it to see that
slavery does not exist. 1t has raised
the value of our paper currency from
3S per cent. to the par of gold. 1t
has restored upon solid basis pay
ment in coin for all the national OBJ
legations, and has given us currency
absolutely good and equal in every
part of our extended country. 1t
has lifted the credit of the nation
from point from. where 6 per cent.
bonds sold at 86 to that where A per
cent. bonds are eagerly sought at a
premium Under its administration

The Greenbackers held National
convention at Chicago last week In
the opening proceedings it was stated
that they proposed to organize on
their own hook, which may be accept
ed that in the past they were organ
lied on some other ones hook-pos-
sibly a Democratic hook. The next
remarkable thing was to ask that the
picture of the late United States Sen
ator Chandler, Of Michigan, be re-
moved from the hall. The discus
sion took in the broad field of . gen.
ersl denunciation of corporations,
banks and riches, which for o while
led the listeners and readers of the
remarks to believe that filthy lucre,
money, is to be abolished from the
earth by the reform Greenbackers !;
but, ,,ias! how disappointed, for they
all came IN with the inconsistency
that they wanted to make so much
money for the country that every
body will be rich. 1t was a good
deal humorous to hear how they de-
nounced money in one breath and
then in the next breath hear how they
proposed to flood the country with
what they denounced. General B.
Weaver was nominated for President,
and E. j. Chambers for Vice Presi-
dent.

IT is a mistake for teachers to be
continually holding up to scholars
and children the offices of the coun-
try as the places above all others to
seek for. Official life in this country
is not of much account, for at best
its lasts only few years. In most
cases it is transitory, lasting 3, 4 to
8 or II years To point a child to a
place or Office of a dozen years as the
goal of his life is not Just the thing
to do. If an Office comes and gathers
one up, as in the case Of Garfield, it
may be a source of qualification
Garfield was poor boy, but trained
himself to useful occupation, and in
tellectuai requirements, thereby un-
consciously preparing himself to hold
the chief office In the nation. Boys
should not be taught to seek Office,
or make official life the object of their
ambition. The best people seldom
get into Office; they understand how
transitory official life is, and care
nothing for it. Boys should not be
encouraged to hunt office it is inf
nitely better to train them to study,
and industry, as Garfield was trained,
and then if an Office comes along,
they may enjoy it.

dangerous to the dearest interests Of

the question of woman suffrage,
which had been brought before the
convention by Mrs. Spencer, of Wash

received instructions before leaving
California from his wife, who warned
him against having anything to do
with woman suffragists, and declared
that if he had anything to do with
them, when he returned, instead of
greeting him with kiss, she would
greet him with a fiat-iron." Mrs.
Spencer said she was glad to know
who was the head of Dennis Kear-
ney's family.

DEMOCRATIC papers, IN writing OF
Chester A Arthur, the Republican
candidate for Vice President, say:
Arthur is an unknown man he has
never been in Congress, or in the
Assembly, and for that reason he is
not fit to be Vice President" That
is tough piece of argument, and
must make the average Democratic
politician feel bad, for they, one and
all, incline to feel themselves able to
hold any Office, from that of consta
BILE up to the Office of President.
Then again, it is probable that the
men who wrote that way of Arthur
have been in a State Convention, or
perhaps in a State Legislature, or
perhaps in Congress, which they be-
heve schooled them sufficiently in
State craft to make them each a great
ruler. But Democratic writers have
expressed great concern for Mr.. Ar
thur because when the Hayes ad-
ministration came in he did not re-
tain his position in the New York
Custom House. Suppose that argu-
ment to be applied to all who go out
of Office on the change Of an admin
istration. Then what becomes Of the
Democratic office-holders that were
put out on the change Of admistra-
tion7 Again, they express alarm, that
I'm ease Garfield should die when in
Office, the government will not be
properly administered Of course it
is qualification TO have the Demo
cratic writer's manifest concern for
good government, but the manage
ment under the last Democratic ad-
ministration-that of James Buch-
anan-was such terrible disaster to
the country, that perhaps a more
modest criticism on the management
OF the affairs of nation would be
more becoming in the erring brethren.
