THE MAN FROM NOWHERE.


Fix at Present.
Tho boundary line question at present
seems to be an affair which the Pennsyl-
vania people do not understand. The
county commissioners OF Delaware
county held a meeting on Friday after
noon. and as the law on the subject is not
very explicit they instructed Assessor
Crossan not to rick his life In placing y
valuation upon the johnson farm until
further advised.
The farmer who is raising most obiec.
tions to being classified as q resident of
Pennsylvania is John Johnson. of London
Britain, although he claims that his prop
erty ID In Delaware, SO Ills said. Mr.
Johnson's principal defense for his con.
duct is that the work OF tho Boundary
Commission 10 unconstitutional, the
Governor having named as member of
their body q State official. which IL con.
trary to law. However, 1t Ia asserted that
the delaware authorities refuse to recog.
nize hr. johnson as a resident OF that
slate, as they refused TO permit him to
vote at an election some time ago A
gentleman familiar with tine situation
states that ons of JohDson's principal
reasons for desiring to remain In Della
ware is because he has aspirations to be-
come member of the Legislature OF that
state. and besides the school facilities for
his children are better than they other
wise would be.
The law creating the com mIssion seems
the Secretary of Internal Affairs is linal,
but Secretary Stewart evidently didn't
agree with this view OF the case. he is
evidently OF the opinion that the Legisla-
lures OF both States should approve of the
commissions work, and he has this TO say
In his last report:
SECRETARY STEWARDS OPINION.
''The result OF the change In the location
OF the line between the States of Delaware
and Pennsylvania would be to cede 20 the
former State several hundred acres Of
land 1t is claimed by some persons that
tue commission under the act referred to
had the power to make such transfer of
territory. but that position would hardly
seem to be tensbie In the absence OF speci-
lleu authority III TINT direction, for IL can
never be claimed that the Mason aud
corner of the state OF Maryland TO Inter-
sect the circle OF New Castle, was ever
considered the boundary line between
the States Of Delaware and PonnBylvaDie.
Indeed. we know Of no evidence to in.
dicate that such q line was ever run prior
TO Its establishment by this commission.
LII, however, the Legislature of both States
should PASS law adopting this line as
Indicating the boundary between tho two
States, and the aot should lie approved by
Congress-. 1t would undoubtedly settle for
all time the limits OF the territory Of the
two States with referonco to each other.
This matter Is no doubt Of suilicens inn
portance to demand the attention OF the
next Legislature"
ANOTHER QUESTION.

down. along The line. says that another
aud more serious question arises, and that
Is: Has tho Legislature or Governor the

BISHOP QUINTARD REFORMED HIM
How Mr.. Harris QUIT Swearing When He
Was Governor of Tennessee.

Bishop Quaintard, of Tennessee, has
recently come into popularity by bung-
ling in a marriage ceremony in which
Kitty Cheatman, the actress, figured
as one of ''the contracting parties. {"
Kate did not think the bishop perform
ed the ceremony with quite sufficient
regard for the conventional details of
the job, and insisted on being married
over again by another minister.
During the war the Bishop was at
tached to the Confederate army as
chaplain. Senator Harris was the war
Governor of Tennessee, and the two
men came into close contact during
those times and grew to be warm
friends. 1t is to the Bishops religious
influence that the Senator ascribes the
complete reformation of his temper
and his predisposition to use violent
expletives. All who have the pleas
ure of knowing the Senator from Ten.
nessee are aware how deep the Bishops
reform must have struck into the sub
soil of his converts moral nature. Be
that as 1t may, Senator Harris cherishes
the Bishop because he sincerely believes
that to him he is indebted for giving
up his habit of invoking the dark angel
of destruction whenever his hardy tenn
per broke into open rebellion.
Governor Harris was reviewing a
body of troops The men looked rag
ged and badly cared for. The Cover
nor began to rave and fume and to use
all the expressive adjectives in his vo.
cabulary. Just as he was consigning
the whole army to the eternal fireworks
the chaplain tapped him on the arm
and demonstrated in sincere spirit of
Christian charity for using such Ian
guage.
"Governor, Governor" he said, ap-
pealingly; "this language is not be-
coming to Christian soldier and
statesman. Learn to control your tenn
per, my brother. How can you hope
to command those troops if you can
not command yourself?" Z
The Governor was struck all of a
heap by the good chaplain appeal.
He reflected for an instant, then he
grasped his hand. rr
'You're right, chaplain, y. he said,
with a show. "I'll never use another
oath. III be a lamb from now on"
just then his eyes fell on the passing
troops, and his eyes flashed with their
old fire-"but I'll be id if don't
courtmartial the whole staff first. y

The Close Relation Of Capital and Labor.


Labor and capital are so closely al
lied in their mutual demands and in
terests, that the proper respect and pro-
lection of both require the most astute
reasoning, and often necessitate judi
cial tests to show their true relations to
each other and their just claim on our
humane sympathies, as both have their
relative rights.
When it is remembered that all
wealth is the savings of labor, and that
nine tenths, in fact, ninety nine hun
dredths, of the people are wealth own
ers in the truest sense, that they are all
more or less in the possession of the
result of their labor, requiring protec-
ton and security, it will be seen that
any attempt to destroy respect for the
product of labor is the most disinte-
grating element of selfish greed, with
out right or just cause for antagonism,
even when the wealth of the country
is very unevenly divided.
AS we'll mighta civilized Community
instigate war between the sexes, or
children and parents come to battle
against each other, as to incite war be-
tween the rights of capital and the
claims of labor; and it is very evident
that society could not exist without
due respect for both.-From Labor

True Skill in Housekeeping.

It is in making the home comfort
and a pleasure that the real skill in
housekeeping may be exercised. Almost
anyone with ordinary common sense
can lay down fixed rules, and say that
such work must be done at such time;
and if it is possible to carry the plan
out exactly to the hour, or day, she
may seem to be, and will probably
think herself, IAN excellent housekeeper.
But an attempt at such housekeeping
is likely to result in one of two things:
if the mistress is strong willed, she is
sure to make her family extremely un-
comfortable; if she is weak willed, she
will suffer much discomfort herself,
and probably become peevish and fret
full. In either case, she is slave to
her housekeeping, and can not expect
to develop any sweetness and light"
in her household.
A good housekeeper is one who not
only knows how to make plans for her
work, which is, indeed, very impor-
tant, but knows, also, how to make the
order of work sufficiently flexible to
meet all the exigencies of daily life,
without any serious disasters. She
must know how to change her plans
easily, that is, without friction; or
even to do away with them altogether,
for time, if any circumstances should
arise which would make it more desir
able to do so. No housewife can hope
to have pleasant home for her family,
or have herself anything but care.
worn woman, who does not always
provide for the unexpected; and one Of
the important provisions is to always
keep her temper. If the unexpected
happens, and it is constantly happen
ing in all active and hospitable house
holds, meet 1t without any fretfulness,
and it will not be half so difficult to
deal with.-From Household" DEM

A new work entitled "The Quakers

sometime Fellow by Courtesy in the
Johns Hopkins University and now con-
nected with the Bureau of Education
in Washington City, is we'll advanced
for publication. ta
twill appear as an Extra Volume"
in che Johns Hopkins University Series
of Studies in Historical and Political
Science. 1t will be bound in cloth,
will contain about $50 octave pages
with an index, and will be sold for
81 90 per copy. A map indicating in
colors all sections of those States where
there now are or have been settlements
of Friends at any time in the past, and
marking the location of every meeting
house, will be added. rus Y
The effort has been made not only to
write the history of the Society in those
States from its first organization to the
present time, but also to trace its rela-
tiOn to other religious bodies and con-
temporary institutions, and to show
how the opposition of Friends to sla-
very caused them to become prominent
in the settlement of the Western States,
particularly Ohio and Indiana. The
writer has endeavored to produce a
narrative strictly in accord with the
manuscript records of the Society and
of other original sources of informa-
ton. No labor has been spared to
make the work accurate. 1t has been
examined in part and com mended by
such prominent Friends as DIR. James

of Baltimore, by Rufus King and Pro-
fessor F. s. Blair, of North Carolina,
