The Hon. Roger @. Mills voted for the
Bland silver bill. Yet last fall the anti
silver Democrats and the Mugwumps
were supporting Mr.. Mills for Speaker
on the ground that he was opposed to
free coinage, and that if he was elected
Speaker free coinage bill would get no
consideration. Either Mr.. Mills's sound
money supporters were deceived them
selves or else they were trying to deceive
the public.

An Old Letter Full of Interesting Facts
Found in Alfred Court House.
To the Editor Of the Press:
In the Office room of the clerk of courts
at Alfred is a small package of papers
that were once the property of the late
Judge Holmes. How the package got
there is unknown, as none of the papers
seem to have any bearing upon court
matters, and relate more to private than
public affairs. At recent visit the gen
tlemanly occupant of the office, who has
had charge of the court records the ten
years last past allowed me to make a
copy of one in the package which con-
tains, it seems to me, matter of public
interest, and which hand you for pub
LEGATION. 1t is in the form of commu-
nication and is addressed on the outside
to s'Hon. John Homes, Boston," The
inside reads as follows:
LANCASTER, Oct. II, 1914.
Dear Sir:
now devote few moments, in an
swer to your several inquiries, relating
to the conduct Of the British while they
remained in Bangor. plain statement
of facts must suffice-language being in
adequate to give you but an imperfect
idea OF their outrages. AS the Enemy
approached the Town flag Of truce was
sent out to the land, as well as naval
forces, to ascertain upon what terms the
Town must capitulate. The answer to
each was, unconditional submission,
public offices and property to be given
up, the People of the Town to give up
their arms and parole themselves, and
private property should be most sacredly
respected. to all of which the Town
agreed. But they had not been in the
place two hours before they commenced
a scene of plumber and havoc, which the
most savage Goth would have shrunk
from. The principal stores were broken
open and stripped of everything. What
they could not take away they destroyed.
Dwelling houses were entered, furniture
broken, clothing of every description
stolen, even women's stockings and in
fant's apparel. The several Law Shops
in Town broken open, libraries and pa
pers torn up or carried away. But one
Office out of five escaped. The inhabi-
tants not only had to supply them with
provisions, &C., but they were forced to
cook for them-dig potatoes, and draw
water for their Soldiers. The vessels,
about 10 sail, they took, and solemnly
agreed to navigate them to Castine, and
then let the owners ransom them; but
before they got out of sight of the Town,
they saw them in flames. They took 20
or 80 of the best horses and agreed to
return them when they embarked their
troops at Hampden, but they were car
ried to Castine, and few only have been
recovered-in fact in almost every in
stance, when they pledged their hands
as Gentlemen and Officers they violated
the pledge and with as much ease as they
made it-and in the little village of Ban
gor they destroyed something like 10000
dollars of private property. besides the
Bond of $1,000 dollars which the Select
men gave to launch the vessels on the
stocks and deliver to them at Castine.

MIR. REED AND THE BLAND BILL.
[New York Post.1
There is one man on the other side of
the chamber who has won golden opin-
ions from all sorts of people, namely, ex-
Speaker Reed. From first to last he has
fou ght the Bland Bill on principle, not
on grounds of mere party expediency.
He has battled against the measure in
order to beat it, not merely to ''put the
Democrats in hole" Whatever step
was parliamentary and calculated to
prevent the bill from becoming law he
has advocated and urged upon his party
associates. In this he has shown the
highest party wisdom.

FORT SANDERS,
And What Troops were in 1t at the Time Of
the Charge, Nov. 80, 1868.


TN your issue of Aug 10 is a communica-
ton from S. A. Raulett, Adjutant of the
36th Mass, in which he says, Lets have
the Fort Sanders affair correct" So say
we all. But in this letter he makes 10 men
ton of the Goth Mich. as having any hand in
the defense Of the fort; when, if loss is any
test they were more exposed than any other
regiment in the fort, losing at the time two
killed and eight badly wounded, in addi
ton to ID missing That was in the outside
picket-pits between the charging columns of
Longstreet and the fort.
The following is list of the troops in the
fort at the time of the charge ON the morning
of Nov %, 1863: The 10Th N. Y. (Highland-
ersj about 125 men. of the First Brigade; four
com panies Of the goth Mass about 70 men, of
the Second Brigade; four companies of the I'd
Mich, 90 men; three companies of the Goth
Mich, go men, of the Third Brigade First Di-
vision, Ninth Corps. There were Beniamins
and part of Buckley's and part of Raemer s
batteries. These are the troops who did the
business, exactly, and do not forget it.

already too familiar with the determined and
gallant assault Of the Confederates and of the
terrible and bloody repulse for me to 20 into
full details of the engagement. 1t was a sick

covered with the slain. II was costly under

From the Goth of November up to the 9Th OF
December was a time of anxious watching.
One-half of the men were kept in the trenches
day and night. On the morning of December
5 Longstreet was missing. He had changed
his mind. He did not want what he could moi

FARMERS, ATTENTION !
A SPLENDID PAPER VERY CHEAP.

The american Farmer is the oldest agri-
cultural paper in America, having been
published in Baltimore since 1919.
Last Winter it passed into the hands of a
new management, who have greatly enlarged
and improved it. 1t lis now superb journal
of 80 large pages, with a handsome cover,
and finely illustrated. 1t is issued on the
1st and 18th of each month, and gives a
larger amount of better reading matter for
the money than any other agricultural paper
in the country. Ali the leading agricultural
writers contribute to it, and great amounts
of money are constantly being expended to
secure the best available information on all
farming matters
The american Farmer is thoroughly non
partisan in politics. but is strong advocate
of protection upon every farm product which
comes into injurious competition with those
of foreign countries. 1t is particularly
earnest in its support of the tariff on wool
and the development of the sheep-raising
industry of this country until our own
farmers will supply every pound of wool
and mutton that our people require. 1t
deyotes considerable space every issue to
information in regard to sheep-raising and
the discussion of matters of interest to flock
owners. Besides this it has departments
devoted to Dairying, Poultry, Bookkeeping,
Horses, Swine, Grain-growing Stock and all
branches of farming.
One of it's peculiarly valuable features is
that it publishes in every issue the latest
issued maps of the Weather Bureau, giving
the temperature and rainfall all over the
country for the previous two weeks. This
information is of the utmost Importance to
every farmer in Judging the probable course
of the market. 1t is precisely the informa-
ton that the grain spectators have been
securing at great expense, in order to shape
their operations. By means of these maps
the readers of The american Farmer are
given Just as reliable information as to the
condition of the crops everywhere as the
spectators and operators have, and thus
are placed in exactly as good position to
Judge the course of the market.

BUSINESS IN SAN DIEGO.
News Notes of Affairs in the Border
Ctr

The San Diego Union of yesterday
contains the following items about bust
ness matters in that city:
United States Marshal George E. Gard
fled three additional attachments yes
terday with the county recorder. The
first was fled early in the morning
against Warren Wilson for s1O,O39.55
and attorneys fees amounting to. $1,000.
Also an attachment against the San
Diego Gable Railway company including
about 100 lots ON University Heights.
Also its roadbed, switches and the rails
thereto attached, extending from L
street in Horizons addition to the termi-
nus OF its road in University Heights.
Also all its franchises, privileges and
rights of whatsoever nature.
The affairs of the Evening Sun are
still in an unsettled condition. Marshal
Gard yesterday morning put an attach
ment on the printing establishment
where the Sun No. 2, issued by Warren
Wilson on Wednesday, was published,
and last night the Sun No. was issued
from another printing Office, but in a
very much reduced form. At 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon an injunction was is-
sued against Marshal Gard, ]. r. Wade,
Walter G. Smith and w. E. Simpson in
structing them not to issue the Sun No.
l, but later they were given permission
to issue it, and about O'Clock it ap-
peared in its usual form.
In the course OF some extended re-
marks about the savings bank depart
ment of the California National, Attor-
ney-General Hart said yesterday that its
affairs are in very bad shape. There
was about $4,000 of the city's money
deposited in the savings bank, and over
$6S, 900 county funds in the California
National. The encouragement says
these deposits were illegal, and he de-
clares that if the county officers will
stand with him he will make the officers
of the two banks pay the public money
in full. "Think OF it," he said, with
assets on the books representing 1927 900
there was but $625 cash to be found"
