ENGLAND is not pushing her claim to the disputed territory on the borders of Venezuela and British Guiana. She knows it is unjust and while that might not deter her, under ordinary circumstances, from taking forcible possession of the land and driving out the rightful owners, she is likely to be careful during the present controversy between herself and the United States. England knows that this countrv's friendship is worth a good deal more than strip of territory in South Amer lea. She may not give up her claim to that strip, but she is not likely to play the bully, as she did with Nicaragua.

IT appears that the world has been doing injustice to the crow, and that he is rather the friend than the enemy of the farmer. In a special investipa- ton made by the department of agri- culture nearly one thousand stomaehs of the bird were examined, and it was found that corn formed only twentv- nve per cent. of the food of adult crows. and that little cultivated fruit was eaten hy them. On the other nand, injurious insects form over twenty-six per cent of the entire food of crows; and they also destroy rab- oits, mice and other pests of that sort

Queer Freaks Performed by Lightning.

QUAKERTowN, Pa, Aug. Given
ty persons were struck by lightning
while attending services in the Meth
odist church here Sunday.
Nearly all were knocked senseless
by the stroke and it is feared that
deaths will result. DR.. Bowman had
just pronounced the benediction at
the morning service when the bolt
struck the belfry, running around
the edifce under the weather boards
and down under the flooring.
Sexton Bauman had his coat torn
from his back, and one of his shoes
was stripped as by knife. Minnie
France was in her pew when the bolt
tore through the floor. Both shoes
were torn from her feet, the crown of
her hat was wrepched away, and her
watch chain was melted into liquid.
James Hoff was Frustrated in his
pew and most of his clothing was
torn away from his body. Horses
broke away from the tie posts out
side the church and many of them
ran away. A veritable panic follow
ed the stroke.
After the excitement had subsidized
it was found that the compound bell
in the cupola was hanging almost by
thread, while fully 100 persons
were directly under it. The church
edi6ee is almost a wreck, as the
lightning penetrated from all sides.

MORE LIGHT FOR CHINA.

The little Japs opened the eyes Of

that there is a great civilized, chris

wall. Light was let in and treaty
made, that opened China, practical.

them and the result is a massacre of
English missionaries and the de-

She Cared for Neither.

GRAFTON, W. Va, August A.
Last night Manche. Hovey and
Thomas McGuinness called on Miss
Bertha Champ, living near Beling-
ton. Miss Champ had not invited
either, and had never shown either
anv decided preference, but both
seemed inclided TO stay, each trying
to outsit the other. Finally, it got
to be very monotonous for Miss
Champ, and she asked them both to
go home. After they got outside
the house they began quarreling
about which should have withdrawn
in favor of the ether, and as the
quarrel proceeded both drew pis-
tolls. Several shots were fired
and McGuinness got bullet in the
neck, the missile lodging in the
muscles at tie base of the brain
He is thought to be seriously hurt
Hovey went to Belington and gave
himself up.

berland Valley League.
Brown pitched for Martinsburg at

Brodie seems to lack judgment at
most critical points in the game.
Coover is a good umpire, butga
US few roasts in the ChambersbGrg
game.
Pap Rainey is good all around
player. He has made some excellent
catches.
Friday being Mont Alto day many
went as far as Chambersburg to see
the game.
The next games in the regular
schedule to be played here are the
l4th with Carlisle and 18th with
Hagerstown. On the same day
Chambersburg and Carlisle play at

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. S.-Jus-
tice Howell E. Jackson of the Su-
preme Court of the United States is
lying critically i'll at his home at
West Meade, near this city, and his
death may be expected at any mo-
ment. Since his return from Wash
ington Justice Jackson has slowly
declined, and though at times has
seemed there was a chance of pro-
longing his lie little or no hope is
left now.

JUDGE GoFF RBVERsEs HIMSELF.

Judge Golf, at Richmond, on the
9th inst, in the South Carolina reg,
istration case dismissed the bill for
injunction. This is in direct contra.
diction of his former opinion which
was reversed by the Circuit Court
judges. He, however, makes it clear
that this opinion is only with respect
to the Supreme Court that oyerruled
him. Thakhe has not changed his
original opinion and never expects
to concede that the equity jurisdic-
ton of the federal courts cannot be
invoked and applied in matters Of
election affecting national interests.
He is right. No state ring of pol
iticians, corrupt and prejudiced
should be permitted to use their
STATE force bill to rob the voter of
his vote for national representatives.
South Carolina must eventually
guarantee and protect every citizen
in his rights to cast his ballot and
have it counted. Any other theory
is despotic and cannot be maintained.
The case, it is said, will go to the ..
S. Supreme Court.

On Tuesday, Chnmbersburg scored
10 to our 2, but even in the first IL
ming with a score of 0 TO 0. Mar
tinsburg despaired of the game, be-
cause Kottcamp was unable to pitch
because Of his hurt hand, Hynes'
shoulder was too sore to go in the
box, and pitcher Brown was away.
We merely played out the game.
Had we been in shape, IN spite of
Schoenhut's strength in the box the
victory would have been doubtful.
The weather threatened, we had no
pitcher, and other discouraging cir
cumstances, left us in poor shape,
and we lost. Kottcamp had nerve
enough, thanks to him, to pitch for
five innings, although in agony over
the condition of his arm. When
compelled to give up, Ratney went
in the box, and surprlzed the people
by keeping Chambcrsbarg down to
six hits. Cremer, Schoenhut, John
son and Lamon made home runs.
Errors to the number of eight, three
of which were costly ones by Brodie,
tell half of the tory,and Kottcamp's
unfortunate injury tells the other
/ half. Score by innings:
