BY patronizing home enterprises you
keep your money at home, and it re-
mains in the channels of trade and is
distributed through the whole range of
local business. 1t is twice as profitable
to you and your neighbor, and comes
back to you again in course of time.
The sections that patronize their own
industries are the sections that prosper.

STEALING ANDRE PRISON.
Relic Hunters Carrying Away Every
thing on Which They Can
Lay Hands.

Nyack. N Y, Nov. 27.-Unless Charles
A Pike, the new owner of the old '7e
stone house, in which Major Andre was
imprisoned at Tappan has men to watch
the partly fallen building every hour of
the day and night there will be very lit
tie of the historic structure left for him
to convert into a public resort, such as
he now has in contemplation.
The relic hunters who make daily pill
erimages to Tappan threaten the total de-
moIition of the old house, and Mr.. Pike
fears that even the ground will be dug
away after the building is gone. He has
had to erect a fence about Is feet high
in front of the ruins, and even this does
not prevent relic hunters from getting
through and stealing about everything
they can lay their hands on. Part OF one
of the doors has been carried away, sew
eraI locks have been removed, and bricks
innumerable have been taken from the
Dre1nises Even residents of Tappan, who
were born within sight of the old build
ing and have looked at it nearly every
day of their lives, have Joined the army
of property destroyers, and yesterday sew
eral of them were peddling bricks from
Andres prison at 70 cents each. As the
stock becomes exhausted prices will prob
abIv get higher and it will be no wonder
if the American citizens of Tappan who
live within stones throw of the old
house will be paying $40 each for the
bricks.

have the merit of being just by repairing
an error
1.-The outcome of every act of justice is
a triumph. Circumstances to which 1 do
not wish to allude, al the present time,
prevented the ministers from listening to
him. From that moment he knew no
peace. 1t had been said that he clutched
the truth; and can he hold it without
proclaiming it be other than public
enemy?
"Stoically at first, for fifteen days with
out end he held to his promise t. keep
silent, always in hope that he would not
be compelled to usurp the part of those
whose duty alone it was to act.
Il know nothing more sublime than the
silence of Scheurer- Kestnar during the
three weeks when a whole people. in de-
spair, suspected and abused him. The
least violent expressed doubt as to his
sanity. Was he not an old man in his
second chiIdhood-one of those whom in
cipient senile weakness causes to believe
anything?
Others, madmen and ruffans, simply
said he had taken a bride. Simple enough
the Jews had paid million to buy his
conscience. And to think that no uni
versal roar of laughter greeted this stu
pidity.
"A judicial error is a thing much to be.
regretted, but always possible; judges are
sometimes mistaken. And soldiers may
make mistakes. How does that compro-
mise the honor of the army?
THE only fine thing to do where mis-
take has been made is to correct it, and
the real fault would only begin on the
day when one would be obstinate in wish
ing not to have been mistaken, even in
the presence of the most decisive proofs
LAS a matter of fact, the whole diff
Guilty is there. Everything will be well
as soon as one is willing to admit that one
possibly has made a mistake, and that
one afterward hesitated before the ans
noyance of admitting it.
Those who know will understand me.
AS for dangerous diplomatic complca-
tions, that is a searecrow for cockneys.
No neighboring power is concerned in the
matter and this fact should be loudly
proclaimed.
I'VE are in the presence of an exasper~
alton of the public mind irritated by the
most odfous of all newspaper campaigns.
The press is a necessary power, and, in
my opinion, does more good than evil, but
yet certain newspapers are guilty of mad
dening some and terrorizing others, liv-
ing on scandal to triple their sale Idi-
otto anti-semitism famed the flames of
this folly.
''I fancy that in the proud silence of NJ
Scheurer- Kestnar there was also a desire
to wait until everyone had consulted his
conscience before proceeding to act
when he spoke of his duty, which,
even on the ruins of his high position,
fortune and happiness commanded him to
do what was right as soon as he knew it,
he uttered this admirable word else he
could not have lived well.
THAT is what all honest men concern
ed in this affair should say-that they
cannot live unless they see justice done.
Truth is on the way, and now nothing
can stop it,

GERMANY is MODEST.
She is Willing to Let the Chinese
Keen Pekin.

London, Nov. 27.-Special dispatches
received here from Shanghai. say that
Baron Won HeyIxing, the German minis
ter to China, has presented to the en-
nese government the demands OF Ger
many for reparatiOn for the recent
murder of German missionaries and the
destruction of German mission proper
ty. These demands include the discoV-
cry and execution of the murderers OF
the missionaries, Mes and Hennle; the
punishment of the implicated othclals,
the reconstruction of the Mission build
ing the payment of an indemnity of
600 600 taels to the relatives of the VIC
Tins, and also the payment of heavy
indemnity to cover the expenses OF the
German naval expedition and the
maintenance of the German force at
Kaio Chou bay. The Chinese govern
rnent replied that Kaio Chou bay must
be evacuated before the demands can
be discussed. Baron Won Heyking re-
fused to consent to this and a deadlock
was the result.
The foreign diplomats, the special
dispatches further announce, say that
the German conditions are impossible
of acceptance and they assert that they
were only presented to enable Germany
to retain Kiao Chou bay and to extend
northward her hold of Chinese terri
tory.
