part Of any foreign power whatsoever to
get foot more Of territory on this
hemisphere, whether by conquest or 10y
insidiously stretching ont its boundary

pie and the British press. 1t is said,

pensioner ON Great Britain. As the son

treated because Of his birth. His man

probably not true. but undoubtedly they
served TO make life bitter for the hap

went to his death. not even having the

his last years We're embittered by the
cruelty and brutality of the attacks on

Campos was apparently recalled from
Cuba because he was not cruel enough
in his system Of waging war. The new
captain general. yaleriano Weyler. is so
well known in Cuba as a man of blood
and terror that Cuban exclaimed when
he heard q the appointment, THE dead
viii rise from their graves to fight him. !
During the last rebellion he was sent 70
Cuba and made himself a terror. If the
stories told Of Polavieja. the new COM
mander Of the Spanish army. are true.
then the red Indian scarcely exceeds him
in barbarous methods Of conducting
warfare But perhaps this very severity

tomake other nations accord the patriots

Value of the Root for Tanning Pur-
 poses.

In bulletin 21 of the Arizona station Professor Forbes says: "As regards the value of canaigre tanning materi- als, the earlier favorable opinions of tanning chemists have been eXcellently supported by the experience of trade. From various sources it lis learned that canaigre chips and extracts have been successfully employed, either alone or in connection with other tan ming materials for the production of a remarkable variety of feathers, includ- ing both heavier and lighter grades. According to the statements of differ ent tanners it is employed in the pro duction of:
 "1. Patent and enamelled feathers for the carriage, saddlery and up holstery trades.
 "2. Patent and enamelled leather for fine shoes.
 "3 Carriage covers and dashboard leather.
 A. A high grade of carriage and furniture leather and a fair grade of patent shoe tipping.
 "5. Upper, grain, or similar light leather.
 "6. East India kips finished as waxed leather.
 "7. Yellow for mittens, horse hides butts, kangaroo, glazed kid and other fine shoe feathers.
 '8. The heaviest sole and harness leather, and the lightest calf and sheep with best results for all kinds"

NEW YORK, Oct. 2-Some of the passengers who landed from the Gun arder Aurania said there was almost an international quarrel on board the previous evening.
 Out of the 673 cabin passengers fully one half were Americans, and among the latter were party of delegates re- turning from the Dublin convention of Irishmen. On board were also twenty clergymen from All Hallows college, Dublin, who have been assigned to par. ishes in western dioceses.

The American f,ction of the audience, and especially the returning Irish delegates, declined and started to sing America"

Z TERRAPIN CATCHING.

Taken Most Ahundantly in Cold Weather
 Because of Their Ono Unvsrying Habit.
 No successful method of catching ter rapin in large numbers has yet been de- vised. A kind of set net is sometimes used, but with no remarkable success. The general statement holds that ter rapin are caught singly. At no season of the year do the fishermen, who make side issue of terrapin, know ex- actly where to look for them. All their movements are aimless, and their only habit which can be depended on is that of burying themselves in the mud at the bottom of the water during the continuance of cold weather.

Pennies Not Legal Tender in i-mcunts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Gems.

More Than Twenty-Five Gems.
 There is a postmaster in little town not far q dstaCt, who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Nfich.) Union, business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with view of teaching h:s inpor- tance, he picked G5 penn ,Cs from the heap, handed out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With a malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose can get one-cent stamp here for penny, can't IF" Certainly" seld the man at the window. "Then give me g. one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and We're impatiently wait 1 ing their turn at the window, but the obdurate buyer Acpc on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered to arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of the crowd.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.

The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby eNclud- ing English commerce from the. larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before and after the Armada, and the struggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisit;on and give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. Oct. 2.-While serving his route this morning, a news- paper carrier discovered the body of . woman lying on the trolley car tracks a short distance outside of the borough limit. The carrier drew the body from the tracks and summoned assistance. An examination disclosed that murder had been done. The woman's clothing was torn, her hair was disheveled and on her throat, plainly visible were the marks of the fingers which had cnoked her life out. From the position of the body it would seem that the slayer of the woman had placed it on the track in the hope that trolley car would strike it and mutilate the corpse SC badly that the crime would be con- cealed.
 The body was identified as that ol Sarah Jane Dolb, aged 33 years, wom an well known here. She was seen last night in the company of three men, for whom warrants of arrest have beer issued.

HARD LUCK.
Miss Snowfall Goes a Wheeling With
 Companion.

She was a buxom lady of color and a novice at wheeling. Her gentle man friend" of the same complexion had invited her for a short ride yester- day morning and their route was down Madison street. People insisted on get ting in front of her at every crossing. Her sturdy companion was ahead of her, pedaling slowly along and whis- ting Just Tell Them That You Saw Me- with variations, and she was de- termined to follow at all hazards.
 Soon the man increased his speed, and Miss Snowball, not to be beaten in this age of female advancement, put on steam and tried to keep up with him. All went we'll until she lost one pedal and the other strayed off of it. self. There was a slight grade at this particular place, and she was soon go- ing at a high speed. As she passed her companion, with the pedals revolving like dynamo wheels, she gasped, "Gawge, ain yo gwine ter help mel" . But "Gawge" was powerless, and on she went, taking on speed in a geo. metrlcal progression. IA large mud puddle was just ahead and directly in her path. She tried to steer around 1t, but the steed, true to its reputa- tion, went sraight at the puddle. There was slide, a scream and a splash, and "Gawge" arrived in time to see his friend arise dripping with muddy water, and hear her remark:

Snowballs Rolled by the Wind.

Passengers on the Flint River divi- Sion of the Flint &5 Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint, Mich, recently reported observing a strange phenom- enon in large, level fields not far from the clty, says the Chicago Tribune Hundreds of snowballs, some of them of colossal size, have been rolled to- gether, it is thought, by the action of the wind. The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take large force of boys several days to do.
 This Cannot Be Disputed.

was Built by the Romans and Is Still in
 Good Condition.
 The oldest house existing in Eng land is the Roman Pharos or lighthouse, which still forms so conspicuous an ob- ject on the cliffs within the precincts of Dover castle. The masonry of this interesting work is composed of tufa, cement and Roman bricks, or tiles, and is in the best style of Roman workman. ship. History and tradition are alike silent as to the actual date of it's erec- tion, but, judging from the style of masonry, and bearing in mind that the erection of such beacon would be a practical necessity when once the Ro- mans had thoroughly established them selves in southern Britain, one may fairly ascribe it to date not much later than the middle of the first century, A. D., following on the expedition of Clau- dius, and the succeeding conquests of Plautius, who brought most of the island south of the Thames under the i Roman domination. To the upper part of this lighthouse was added in Tudor times an octagonal superstructure, still remaining, although in sadly bat tered condition. The remains of lake dwellings, such as have been found at Burton Mere, in Suffolk, and near Glas. tonbury, in Somerset, are supposed by some to date back so far as 1900 B. G.; 1 but, although these are built on piles, they hardly come within the meaning of the question.
