Literary Note from The Century
Co.

DR. S. WEIR MITCHELL has for
many month been gathering material
for his romance, Hugh Wynne. Free
Quaker" which is to be the leading
serial of The Centu1y during the com
ing year The novel is a story of the
Revolutionary War and of Philadel-
phia society during the period from
rz53 to 1888. The Historical Society
OF Philadelphia gave d. Mitchell free
access to its great collection of family
letters, deposited in its fre-prooi
rooms by nearly all the older Phila-
delphia families-the Shippens, Nc
Keans, Logans, etc. Among these
family archives, with their intimate
revelations, and in the old gazettes,
Dr. Mitchell found much of his ma
,terlal. He also visited and studied
all the localities of his story except
Yorktown.

A CARD.

To the Popocrat candidates on the
Popocratic county ticket of Berkeley
County:
l have four Goldbug Democrats in
my pen, nice, fat and sleek, and ready
for the market. They have repented
in sackcloth and ashes, and | will
bring them before you, to crave your
pardon. When taken up by me they
had the appearance OF workmen but
since their incarceration have become
millionaires and bloated bordholders.
One says ehas been the "Lickspittle
for the clique long enough" and
humbly asks if on his beflded knees
he can only vote the county ticket.

..oUp COUNTRY FIRST"
National Democratic Tieeting 2 Flat
tering Success.

tering Success.
No more appreciative or intelligent
audience ever assembled in Martins
burg than, that which honored the
Sound Money Democratic Club, last
Saturday evening.
The leading society ladies Of the
city were present, nearly all those Of
Democratic proclivities, wearing a
spray of golden rod. while many Re
publicanl ladies added a Mckinley
and Hobart silk badge to their floral
decorations. The attendance of lead
ing business and professional men
was decidedly noticeable. The occa-
sion was enlivened with music by the
City Band, which favored the audience
with several patriotic airs while the
people were packing the Central Opera
House.
1t was the first effort of those Demo-
Gratis who have not been converted to
Populism, and even the Pops admit
that the effort was most successful.
AS announced in the last issue of the
Herald, Hot Isidor Rayner, OF Bal
tifnore, and D. c. Westenhaver, Esq,
of this city, were the orators of the
occasion and right royalty did they
perform their parts.
The meeting was called to order by
Col ]. c. Frazer, who, after compli-
menting the audience upon its splen-
did appearance, presented DR.. John
B. Snodgrass as chairman Of the meet
ing. The Doctor accepted the honor
with thanks and in his pleasant and
urbane manner introduced Mr.. Ray
ner, who at once plunged into his
subject, and for two hours held Brya Il
and his alleged principles up to the
scorn and ridicule of the audience.
All of the sophistries of the free
coinageites were exposed and their
theories torn into tatters.
When Mr.. Westenhaver stepped
to the front, one was reminded of wal
times when brave, true men offered
their services and lives, if need be, to
their country. A hush fell upon the
audience and every ear was strained
to catch each word. He was not
abusive, but his earnestness was ap
parent to all. He is naturally leader
and for years his advice has beer
sought in the conduct of every cam
paign. He clearly proved that he and
his friends could have no selfish motive
in doing as they have done, as they
have no hope Of electing their ticke1
and could not in reason expect any
thing from anyone else. He spoke
for half all hour and received an ova
ton when he closed
Among those on the platform We
noticed DR.. j. w. McSherry, DR.. w
T. Henshaw, Mr.. w. L. Jones, Mr.
Henry ]. Seibert, Mr. J. B. Clary, Mr.
w. T. Stewart and others.

that 1000 Italians had left Asmara to

STIRRED NO RESENTMENT.
Washington officials Not Excited
Over the Valencia OutbreaE<

WASHINGTON. March 6.-The news of the
demonstration against the United States con-
sulate at Valencia by the Spanish mob stirred
no resentment whatever among the members
of the house and caused hardly any comment
1t was received as incident of no particular
significance, but merely the outbreak of stu
dents. Chirman Hitt of the foreign affairs
committee. remarked that the action of the
Spanish government in closing two of the
universities to prevent disorder showed it's
condemnation of hostile demonstrations against
the United States. There is no disposition
among members of the foreign affairs commit
tee at present to present joint resolutions for
the recognition of Cuban belligerency, which
the president would be compelled to act upon.
Mr.. Sulzer, of New York, predicts that the
house will take up the Cuban question again
within a month and adopt joint resolutions,
but members of the foreign affairs committee
have a different opinion. 1t happens. curious
ly enough, that the representative of the Uni
ted States at Valencia against whom this DEM
onstration of national wrath was directed is
not a native of our country, nor even nat
uralized citizen. His name Is Theodore Mer-
tens and he Is an Austrian, but was appoint
ed United States consular agent at Valencia
in 1889 from Spain. In other words he was
chosen as a reputable citizen of the place to-
look after commercial interests there be-
cause no American citizen of the requisite
character could be induced to assume the du-
ties for the small compensation paid amount
ing last year to $13550 Including all the
fees.

PATTISON Is MUM.
Will Not Say He's a Presidential
Candidate.


Candidate.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March e.
When asked today whether or not he
is a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency, ex-Gov.
Robert E. Pattison replied: "I appre-
ciate greatly the compliment which has
been accorded me by the mention Of
my name in connection with the nomi-
nation for the presidency by the re-
solutions of the recent gatherings of
the Democracy in Pennsylvania, but
l must decline at this time to discuss
the question:
Gov. Pattison was seen chiefly be-
cause Of what occurred at the recent
meeting of the Democratic county COM
mlttee, Of York county. A member of
that committee offered a resolution
indorsing the candidacy of Mr.. Pitti-
son for the presidency. Prior to this,
the committee on resolutions, to which
was ordered to be referred all resolu-
tions without debate, had reported and
their report had been acted upon The
chairman ruled the Pattison resolu-
ton was out of order, on the ground
that it was too late. EX-Lieut Gov
Chauncey F. Black then stated that
the resolution committees functions
had ended and that it had gone out of
existence, and further declared that
Mr.. Pattison is not candidate"
The resolutions were thereupon de-
cided to be out of order, and the merits
of the case were not passed upon at ALL
The friends of Gov. Pattison complain
that the members of the Democratic
county committee were thus misled,
and declare that York county is a
strong Pattison county. In 1890, Patti
son polled 1920 votes in York county,
and his majority in the county was A.

OUR NATIONAL FORESTS.
Plans for Their Preservation Con-
sidered by Secretary Smith.

WASHINGTON, March GA scheme of vast
Importance to all persons interested in the
preservation of the forest lands in the United
States is outlined in report of the National
Academy of Sciences to the secretary of the
interior, who had asked the academy to recon-
mend feasible and comprehensive forestry
policy. The academy has appointed a
commission of notable scientists to make
an investigation on - the forestry prob
lem in all its phases and Secretary
Hoke Smith will take steps imediately
to afford all possible assistance to the commits
sion and will recommend to congress the ap-
preparation of $25, 900 to cover actual expenses
The committee asks the services of one of the
law officers of the mdepartment, which will
doubtedly be granted. The following points
are to be investigated and passed upon:
First-The question of the ultimate owner
ship of the forests now belonging to the gov
ernment; that is, what portions of the forest
on the public domain shall be allowed to pass
either in part or entirely, from the govern
ment control into private hands.
Second-How shall the government forests
be administered so that the inhabitants of ad-
Jacent regions may draw their necessary forest
supplies from them without affecting their
permanency?
Third-What provision is possible and neces-
sary to secure for the government a continu-
Gus, intelligent and honest management of the
forests of the public domain including those
in the reservations already made or which may
be made in the future?

WINONA, Mimi, March 6.-The res
idence of G. Dollhouse. a carpenter
living five miles from Alma, Wis,
burned to the ground early this morn
ing. Dollhouse, his wife and five chill
dren, varying from two to twelve years,
were cremated in the blaze. When the
fire was discovered by neighbors moth
ing could be saved nor the inmates
awakened. Four Of the children were
boys and the fifth a girl. The seven
charred bodies were found in the ruins
today. 1t is thought the fire caught
from stove or a lamp explosion. There
is some talk that the fire was caused
by robber, who set fire to the house
to cover his tracks, after numbering
the family for money, amounting to
$500, which Mr.. Dollhouse is known to
have had in the house. AS some money
has already been found in the ruins
this theory does not appear probable
From the position in which the bodies
have been found, all except Mr.. Old
house died in their beds, from suffoca-
ton. The fathers body was found
near a window in a. room adjoining
the bed room
