The explanation thus made by Mr..

had with reference to his expenses, and

SINGING TO THE CATTLE.
The Cowboys Use Hymns to Keep the AMI,
mails From Stampeding.

The Cowboys Use Hymns to Keep the AMI
mails From Stampeding.
When a lot of cattle are gathered up there
is always danger of a. night stampede, and
if this occurs it is very serious matter, for
not only will the herd become greatly scat
tered, but also many Of the steers will die,
says a New Mexico cattle man in the St.
Lonis Globe-Denoerat. More timid animals
than stampeded cattle it is difficult to i'm
agine, and once thoroughly stampeded
scores of them will run until they drop dead
in their tracks The signs of an approach
ing stampede are familiar to every man who
has been much on the trail. First few
cattle will begin to low, or rather to utter a
sort of roar. AL through the herd single
animals will get up and begin to move
around, The others become restless, and if
something is not done to check them the
whole herd will within short time be rush
ing headlong over the plain.
The most soothing influence that can be
exerted is the human voice, and when these
ominous mutterings are heard every one on
night watch begins to sing. 1t may well be
imagined that cowboy music would have
anything but quieting effect upon musical
ears, but it amply satisfies the cattle. AS
soon as the songs are heard the nervous ami
mails become quiet, enc by one they lie
down, and soon all are at rest, fairly sung to
sleep. A peculiar feature of the singing is
that every cowboy, no matter how rough
and lawless, knows a variety of hymns, and
it is with church music that the stampede is
prevented

mon to make sport at the expense Of the
'play-day soldiers" is well known, and
many persons believe that the large appro-
priations of money made by the State for
the maintenance of the militia is like
So Much Money Lost
The annual encampments are usually held
at spots remote from the big cities, and
there is no opportunity to disproye this
sentiment. This year the encampment will
be within easy reach of everybody in this
county, and it is believed the militia will
profit in the end through a better opinion
of its efficiency among the public at large.
Two of the most prominent business men
in Pittsburg have undertaken to help care
for the crowds. One will establish suffers
tents all through the encampment for the
benefit of the soldiers The difficulty of
former years in getting anything fit to eat,
and at reasonable prices, will be entirely
obviated. The other business man will put
up an enormous restaurant in the fields
under roof for the public at large. The
Valley Railroad will put in a steam pump
with which to supply drinking water to
both soldiers and civilians. In every way
it is hoped to make the attractions of tho

perfect old grannies could hardly be found

Yet they succeed in some way in hanging on

State, and quite as tiresome, still unhappily
hangs on at 62. Barbour, of Virginia, was 70
when elected, and will not be heard of dur

scarcely done so much as to vote. He is

atone for this in hard, practical work, and
in refraining from consumption of time

Pittsburg 10 miles; from Parnassus miles;
Valley Campmeeting, mile; Kensington,
.0S mile; Creighton, IL miles; Tarentum,
miles; Tarentum Campmeeting, miles;
Freeport, 10 miles.
The proximity of the soldiers to two
campmeetings will be observed The re-
ligious season at Valley Camp begins in the
middle of July, and will be concluded by
the time the National Guard arrives, but
the cottages are always occupied far into the
fall, so that more or less social interest and
intercourse will be maintained by the 20
odd families on Valley Camp and the Guard.
The religious services at Tarentum Camp,
however, begin on August II, and will be
on while the soldiers encampment lasts.
Where Bishop Bowman Died.
Right at the edge of the brigade grounds
is located an historical monuments About
80 years ago the celebrated Bishop Samuel
Bowman, of the Episcopal Church, was
walking to Parnassus from a church where
he had preached. He fell dead in his
tracks, either from heart disease or SUM-
stroke, and on that very spot a rugged stone
monument was erected to his memory by
the Episcopal Church.

river is paradise for batEers. 1t is deem
and pretty. The swimming will endear the
eDcampment TO all "the BOYS" from the
city, and the design of the officers in pitch
ing the tents on the river side of the farm
Is to give the men all the water advantages
possible.
Between the tents and the railroad lies
the largest parade ground the brigade has
ever enjoyed. There will be no cramping
or crowding in drills and dress para6es.
The abundance of room will afford the
grandest of opportunities for maneuvering,
and for sham battles, of which there will
probably be two or three during the cam
pagn. At the southern extremity of :he
eneampment is deep forest. Beyond that
are the stately homes of Fairfield, includ-
ing :he country seats of the Bakewells and
KerrS, Of Pittsburg. Between Fairfield and
the town Of Parnassus is the site of the new
manufacturing town of Kensington 1t
possesses but few buildings yet, though ten
miles Of streets have already been cut out
among the fields there, and hundreds of lots
marked ''sold."
The MethodIsts Within Reach.
Just north of the brigade encampment is

NEW YORK, June 20.-Samuel Burbank
is one of the richest and most prominent
business men of Hampstead, L. L Until
Monday last he had remained bachelor in
spite of his wealth and good qualities.
On the day mentioned he married
Miss Lille Oxford, the 1S-year-old
daughter of the insurance broker, Harry
Oxford. A few hours after the ceremony Mr.
Burbank lost his wife and $40, 900 in money,
These losses have become the causes of
three lawsuits Mr.. Oxford, Burbank saws,
wanted to buy the house in which he lives,
and asked Mr.. Burbank for a loan of So, 900.
Mr. Burbank refused to loan the money, but
said that on one condition he would give
Oxford $4,000. Burbank then bluntly pro-
posed that if Oxford could make Lille
marry him he would give Oxford $4,000.
Oxford was staggered for a moment, but
finally said he would think the matter over.
In few days he told Burbank that Lille
was willing to marry him on condition that
the $4,000 was forthcoming Mr. Bur-
bank then formally proposed to the young
lady herself and was accepted. The we'd
ding was set for Monday last, and came
off according to programme. But Lille re-

case the Austro-H Hungarian troops would

advance into South Bulgaria (East Rou-

would attempt to stem
Russia's Advance From the Eastward.
Germany would be bound to aid Austria,
France would seize the opportunity to In

agreements with Germany and Austria un-
der the triple alliance would probably at,

Nobody knows the really effective posi-
bilities Of Russia's armies. 1t Is claimed
men in the field. Austria and Italy could
each array from 1900, 900 to 10000 men.
If war were waged at once, it would seem
that France and Russia might be strong
enough to Withstand the triple alliance.
Italy is in miserable, cat's-paw position,
bankrupting herself to maintain huge
armies for Germany's benefit, when she has
no proper place in the great quarrel and
ought to maintain strict neutrality. France,
rather than Germany, is Italy's natural
friend and ally; but Italy should have kept
clear of all complications
Result of Southeastern Trouble.
If war should break out in the Southeast,
there would also be war between France
and Germany. On this point there is
perfect understanding between Russia and
France.
If war should break out between France
and Germany, it does not follow that there
would also be war in the Southeast or that
any other power would be drawn in. Austria
would be an expectant and ready, but nom
combatant, friend of Germany. Russia, in
like manner, would give moral support to
France.
If, in the case Of Franco-German duel,
the French should be too hard-pressed, 1t is
not a. all unlikely that Russia would cre-
ate a diversion by making movements
toward Constantinople, thus drawing Aus
tria's fire and compelling Germany to work
heavy forces upon her Eastern frontier.
The situation being as 1t is, have the
friends Of peace any encouragement to think
that war can be averted and armaments
gradually reduced by common consent?
Practically, none at all
France and Russia Are Restless.
France definitely proposes to make war
Russia also has distinctively aggressive pur-
poses. One power is consumed with the pas
sion of revenge, the other is possessed of the
spirit of aggrandizement and conquest.
These are deep sentiments that statesmanship
may play upon but can neither eradicate
nor control.
The hugess and stupidest mistake of mod
ern history was the appropriation OF Alsace
and Lorraine by Germany. No possible
benefit could ever have come of it. Infinite
and uneeasing mischief has been and must
be the result A magnanimous neighborly
restoration of those provinces might so affect 4
French sentiment and kindle the flame of in
ternational good feeling as to usher in sort
of millennium. From the business point Of
view, such restoration would be the saliva
tion of Germany. But of course the Ger
mans would not entertain such an idea for
moment. They must therefore face the i
chances of disastrous war, and the war can
not be much longer postponed.
