A Century too Soon; A Story of
Bacon's Rebellion.

Those wlo have read the volumes
of this series, so far issued, declare
that "a Century too Soon" is de
cidedly the most interesting, both as
to the historical incidents which are
full of excitement, and the fascinat-
ing romance with which they are in
terwoven. The period covered by
the book is a period all too briefly
described by American historians,
and for this reason is all the better
suited for the ground work of an
historical romance.
Among the English colonists in
America at this time, the two princi
pal classes were the Cavaliers and
the Purtans. The former we're
"Ring's Men, or royalsts, the latter,
as rule, republicans. Sir William
Berkeley, a tyrant and loyer of
royalty, who declared that he "thank.
ed God that there were neither print.
ing presses nor public schools in
Virginia." because these were pro-
motors of personal liberty and
popular advancement, was Governor
OF Virginia and leader of the Cava.
Tiers. A clash between the classes
was the inevitable outcome of Berk.
ley's tyranny and selfish greed.
Bacon's rebellion, falling on the very
eve of victory. because of the bril-.
liant rebels untimely death, came
just one hundred years before the
great revolution, which achieved the
independence of the American
colonies.
The story is entirely different in
style from any IN the preceding
volumes of the series, and the interest
never relaxes. The merry Cavalier,
the sedate Puritan, the snake-eyed
aborigine, and the half civilized
negro, all play important parts in the
story. The reader seems to : live
among the people, the scenes, and
the events of the time, so wildly and
naturally are they portrayed.
John Stevens financially embar-
raised through the extravaganza of
MS luxury loving wife, starts for
England to collect money owing him
there. His shipwreck on q desolate
aud unknown island with only one
companion, his Robinson.Crusoe,like
existence, the wonderful adventures
which befel him and the mysterious
developments which followed absorb
the readers attention.
The illustrations are graphic in
portrayal of the text, and are exceed.
ingly well executed. The index,
given at the close of the volume, is a
ready key to its many historical in
cidents. Price $3.50. Funk & Wag.

If the farmers would drop their
old party affiliations (Which therefore,
have brought them nothing but dis.

from their own ranks every officer in
the State and Federal government,

and suited. At present the farmers
of the United States have as little
representation in their own govern.

The News makes the following an.
nouncement.
State Senator John s. Writ of Cecil
county is candidate for denomination
For some years past Mr.. Wirt's leader
ship in the local politics of Cecil county
have been practically undisputed. This
year, however, he will meet with de-
cided and strong opposition. Mr.. C. C.
Crothers, one of the leading lawyers of
Elkton and the candidate of Cecil
county for the Congressional nominal
ton last year, has announced his in
tention of contesting the primaries with
Mr.. Writ, and fierce and vigorous
political fight is already beginning, in
which the chances of victory are de
cidedly with Mr.. Crothers, who has
heretofore been one of Mr.. Wirt's most
active supporters.
There are about dozen lawyers in
the county and about $4,000 other PEG
pie. and we behold the spectacle of a
couple of this guide of dozen, virtual
ly assuming to preempt the state sena-
torship and completely ignoring the
great business and wealth producing
population of the county as though
they did not exist
Before the election four years ago one
of them was employed by the whiskey
ring to engineer liquor license back into
the county and the other lent his infiu-
ence to change the law in the interest
of the liquor party, and successfully
managed their case. And now the PEG.
pie almost unanimously are anathema-
tizing their acts and declaring in most
emphatic terms their disapproval of this
legislation. Are they going to allow
these self constituted candidates to die
tate their choice of law makers again
and sanction the acts they so loudly
condemn by permitting either of them
to be nominated and then submissiyely
vote for him like whipped ours? With
this condition of affairs the people of
Cecil may well ask like Mr.. Cobb, "Mr.
Speaker where was L at?"

our son Joseph's life as that the sun shines,
Five years ago on board ship our three boys
were vaccnated. Joseph had very sore arm,
so bad at one time that we were afraid it would
have to be taken on. AT length it seemed to get
we'll, but about two months after, he began to
complain of soreness and pain in the vaccinated
arm. He had occasionally shown some signs of
scrofula, but nothing serious. His arm, how
ever, grew worse and worse and became swollen

own Gold MINED hui Lack money.

Prospecting for gold has received q
great impetus through recent events
which have thrown SO many men out of
employment. Not only have silver min
ers and smelter men gone to prospecting,
but mechanics and laborers who have
had mining experience in former years
now find their knowledge of minerals of
utility in the change of occupation forced
upon them by the closing down of mills
a1d factories. Whatever else may be
the result of the additional labor devoted
to gold prospecting, it is sure to be the
means Of the discovery of valuable gold
leads and the enrichment of individual
prospectors.

to have been thoroughly explored are

The reports which arrived by the last
steamer to the effect that the United
States would establish protectorate
over Hawaii and that an election would
be held, created great excitement here.
The American colony announced that
they would not be coerced into any
farce of an election which would give
the native element control over the
foreigners.
The public here are pleased with the
appointment Of Minister Mills. but the
annexationists criticise the appoint
ment of Ellis Mile as consul-general and
the provisional government has been
considering the advissbility Of request
ing the United States to recall Mills
appointment. Hell objected to on ac-
count of the preference to the Royalist
cause which he displayed while here as
Mr.. Blount's secretary. The annexa-
tionists cay if Mills be sent here he will
be mercilessly snubbed.
An official dispatch received from
Washington states that the Hawaiian
legation there has been assured by
Blount and Senator Morgan that some
action favorable to annexation will be
taken by the United States.

He will remain here week and pro-
coed to San Francisco on the next steam

trouble, Stevenson thinks the Ger
mans are not capable of maintaining
peace in Samoa. and that the presence
of an American man.o of-war there is
very desirable. Stevenson says he Ia
now engaged on several new stoiiea.

New YORK, Sept. 28.-Over $4,000
people went to Gutenberg today to see
the match race bssween Tammany and
Lamplighter, the greatest S-year-old
racers of the year, for purse of $4,000
and a side bet of $25O0. The horses
were in the best Of form and the track
as fast as any in America. Lamplightsr
was ridden by Taral and Tammany by
Garrison.
Lamplighter led by length and q
half all the way until the turn of the
oval, less than half mile from home,
was reached. There Garrison moved
Tammany up until his head was at
Lamplighter's tail. Tarsl did not urge
his colt until the stretch was entered
and he saw Garrison after him in dead
earnest, swinging around the wide turn,
Garrison leaned over his colts neck and
Tammany began to move faster. With
in 10 lengths Tammany was head and
head with his rival, Faral used whip
and spur but it was no use. Garrison
also cut Tammany ruthlessly though
there was no occasion to do so. Marcus
Dsly's great colt easily went to the front
and finished three lengths ahead OF
Lamplighter. Enthusiasm was not go
great as it would have been had Lamp
lighter won, but Garrison was carried to
the Jockeys room in floral horse shoe

proved his superiority over Lamplighter
in the race. Fractional time: Eighth,

The baseball Season.

The remarkable interest in baseball
this year is causing universal comment
In spite of the fact that the financial
condition of the country is in deplor-
able state, the attendance at the ball
games increases rather than diminishes.
1t may be that our weary merchants,
politicians, doctors, lawyers, scheolboys
and clerks rush to the games to get
away from business, mental or school
worry. AS a money broker said yester-
day, the only places where cash seems
plentiful are at the ball games and the
dry goods stores. Most of the clubs In
the major and minor leagues will make
money this year, and the chances are
that there will be no changes in the cir
cult next season. So it looks as If the
10 club league had come to stay for an
other year at least. t.--New York Tribune
