Woodstock, Va. March,
Farmer Kelsey, a prosperous
young man, rode into Edin
burg yesterdays arG hitched
his horse in front of Holts
mans Hotel. A few minutes
later an old man came a.
round the corner and, seeing
the horse, deliberately nnfas-
tened the saddle and disap
peare.l with it. Farmer Hell
sey, an hour later, mounted
his horsr bareback, and set
ont to capture the thief. He
over-tooK him fOnrmiIps from

knoWlriged that hp took the
saddle and had sold it for
two dollars.
III you don't believe me-"

But ! shAn't walk, he added
"W"ll, get on the horse and

more for it, but did not try.
He was SO frank and arpar-

had half resolved to forgive
bin, when the old man sud
denly applied his cane vigor-
ously to the horses size and
the animal plunged off wildly
down the road, and disap
peared, leaving Kelsey a vic
tim IF misplaced confidence,
minus both saddle and horse.
He looted it back to town,
and then asyStemltic search
was made for the aged thief,
which was kept up for twen-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Rsgulac Correspondent.


Secretary Gresham are hav.
ing az much trouble with the
influential jlngo element in
the United States nswith the
Pandora's box of applica.
tions which has been dumped
upon the Department OF
State. The jing0ists can see
no excuse tor Spain not hHv-
ing made thr apology de-
nanded (althongh 1t is pat
ent to all cool heads tn ut
the delay is caused by the
change of minister) an d
would like to see the Pr,Si-
dent send Il feet over 20
Seize Cuba ut once. The
same hot heads also inter
prct the MOnr0d doctrine to
mean that tn. United States
should attack Great Brit
ain, it that county carries
out it's threat to ca npel Mic
aragna by force to accede to
it's demands. Fortunately
fur the country neither the
President nor his cabinet
has any touch OF the lingo
fever; consequently the mum
erons foreign complications
are being handled in 4 bnSi
ness and common sense way.
No further demand will TO
made upon Spain until it's
new ministry has been given
ample time to reply to that
already made: then the d..
mHnd will bp renewed in ~
tone that will neither bring
the APOLOGY by cable, or wal.
Asto the Monroe doctrine:
President Cleveland does not
interpret that doctrine to
mean that this country will
prevent European power
from assisting upon honor-
able and proper treatment
in it's dealings with the coun-
tries nf Central and South
America. President Cleve-
land thinks 1t was originally
intended by President Mon
roe to insure fair play for the
comparatively weak coun.
tries of South and Central
America, and to prevent the
absorption of their territory
