IT Is probable that Gen. Han
cocks personal command never in,
cluded more than twenty thousand
Republicans, only about one-half OF
whom are now alive. If all of these
in personal loyalty to their old chief,
should vote the Democratic ticket
tbs Fall, they would not be numer-
GUS enough in any doubtful State to
turn the balance, and their combined
vote would make but a feeble show
for or against either party.-Herald.
Gen. Hancock commanded during
the war upward of 100000 men. If
the Herald's surmise is correct, the
glory of overcoming the rebellion
belongs chiefly 10 the Democratic
soldiers.

INCREASE IN THE YIELD OF LANCASTER
AND YORK COUNTIES.
YORK, July 22.-One of the mosl
noticeable changes in agriculture in Penn
sylvania during the last few years is the
great increase in the growth of tobacco
especially in Lancaster, York and Berks
counties. Collector Wiley reports that
the total amount of internal revenue
collected within this district has increas-
ed over 38 per cent within the last four
years, the total having grown from $770,-
5o2.59 for the the fiscal year ending June
30, 1915, to $1,064, ,642.47 for the yeal
which closed with last month. A portion
of this increased is attributable to greater
diligence and faithfulness in the force
employed to collect the taxes, but most
of it Is due to the great increase in the
tobacco crop and in the number of man.
ufactories employed in preparing it for
the market. Five years ago the tobacco
crop of Lancaster county did not pro-
baby exceed $250,000 in value, that of
York 100000; now the value of the

Alfred B. Carlin, a bachelor, re-
ported to be worth not less than $4 :,
600, 900 was the king of stock breed
ers in Australia, and lived in way
becoming bis great wealth on vast
estate near Wagga Wagga in that
country. His name will be remem-
bered by those who were interested
in the famous Tichborne trial, held
in London six years ago, as the most
conspicuous witness for the claimant
to the Tichborne estates-appearing
as the man who first employed Ar
thur Orton as a herder on his alleged
arrival in Australia, and whose tes-
timony as to the personal appear
ance of Orton when he first saw him
corresponded with Lady Tichborne's
description of her son and heir, as
she knew him before he left home.
Shortly after his death, however, "a
will was produced by his attorneys,
Brown and Silsby, in Wagga Wagga
directing the sale of his property
and payment of the proceeds to his
nephew, William J. Carlin, young
man residing in Philadelphia.
1t appears that the deceased left
his home in England when he was
about 20 years of age, and was sup
posed to have gone to China on a
merchantmen, shipping as a common
sailor. Nothing was heard of him
afterward and he was given up as
dead. About fifteen years ago a let
ter was received from him by the
father of the boy who now comes
into possession Of his estate and of
whose existence he was then ad-
yised. This was the last heard from
him until the recent advices of his
death. William J. Carlln, who may
now be said to be one of the wealth
lest young men in America, is about
81 years of age, unassuming in his
| ways and of boyish appearance.:-
The young man states that until he
received the above letter he never
knew that he had an uncle living in

TWO SMILES FROM PARIS.
Philadelphia Telegraph. Paris Letter.


Here are two anecdotes that recently
drifted past On the stream of chit-chat at
dinner party. An American gentle =
man, while taking walk in London one
day, chanced to behold in grocer's
window an immense pile of hams stamp
ed with the name and address of dealer
in Chicago, while overhead hung q pla-
card inscribed: "Best Canadian hams--
shilling pence per pound" The pi o.
prietor of the establishment ehanced to
come to the door. and the gentleman
called his attention to the incongruity Of
selling Chicago hams as q Canadian pro-
duct. "Ah, yes, yesp exclaimed the
grocer with an air of conviction, "Chica-
60 is in the United States; had forgot
ten that"
Next comes the story of an illiterate
damo who possessed very fine gallery
of pictures, including specimens of the
old masters as well as of the modern
school. She was one day engaged in
showing off her art treasures to visitor,
seasoning her discourse with small facts
relative to the artists whose works she
possessed. "Now, that picture" she
said, pointing to large neurological
scene, CHATS by Rubens. He's dead"

believe, never in this country, was produced
last evening for the benefit Of b. Capoul to
fair audience. It was unfortunate that the
management provided no Ibrettos. in the case
of Il work entirely unknown except through
two or three Of its erias which have been trans
planted to the concert-stage and arc -aforlts

audience that it WIS sung in q language which
could give little clew to the progress OF the
story, except to those who may have accidently
discovered the plot on the inside OF the program.

chiefly interests us. Hcrold was prolific
