The death of Highly Esteemed Young
Man.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Mahlon Hershberger died at his
fathers on the 18th of Febuary 1897,
four miles south of Grantsville, and
was inferred near that place on the
18th. He had been i'll for several
months with a complication of all
ments, the result of an attack of
measles and grip. Everything in the
line of skill, nursing and attention
We're give to save a precious life, but
f1'in vain.
He was thirtytive years and three
months old; the Oldest child of Ed
ward and Susanna Beachy Hershber-
ger, was never married. The beauti-
full parental home was his lifelong
abode. Robust in physique, but
aimable, gentle and loving in disposi-
ton. He was brought up in the Am
ish faith and lived up fully to the
scriptural ways of that well-meaning
church, and so he left the world
He had no enemies because he made
none-deserved none All were his
friends, because he was worthy of
their friendship. Obedient to his
parents and e1fectionate TO his sisters
and brothers; indeed kind and re
spectful to every one.
He Will be greatly missed, not mere
ly by his surrounding family and
numerous kindred. but by the com
munity in which he quietly and up
rightly lived his whole life.
The funeral was largerly attended.
Among the mOurners were DR.. G. J
Beachy and his excellent wife, of
Cumberland. The doctor is the un-
Gle of the deceased and brother of
Mrs. Hershberger. 1t was noted that
th0re was an unusual amount of sor-
rowing at the funeral. Many were
the expressions and signs of regret
for a loss not soon to be forgotten or
regained. Besides the parents the
departed left two brothers, Gordon
and James. named after two worthy
uncles; and two sisters, Lizzie and
Annie A more blameless family of
children cannot be found in any com
munity.

If the statement made by the
woman who came to Davis house on
Friday is correct, this is the fourth
time he has been married. His first
wife died number of years ago. The
second he procured a divorce from
just previous to marrying wife No. 3.
Wife No 3 was Miss Lettie g. Collett.

November, 1894 The fourth wife, if

stop-over Privilege at washington.

A ten day stop over at Washington,
ID. c., is now granted on ali through
tickets between the East and West,
via Baltimore & Ohio h. r. Stop
over will also be granted on the re-
turn journey made on round trip
tickets, within the final limit of such
tickets, but not exceeding ten days.
Passengers will deposit their tickets
with the Ticket Agent at b. & O. r.
r. Station in Washington, who will
retain them until the journey is to be
resumed, when they will be made
good for continuous passage to desti-
nation by extension or exchange.
This arrangement will doubtless be
greatly appreciated by the travelling
public because it will permit the hold
ers of through tickets to make brief
visit to the National Capital without
additional outlay for railroad fare.

\ live double chicken is q freak of
nature that is exciting considerable
interest among the farmers of Smiths
Landing, Atlantic county New Jer-
scy. The chicken has four legs, four
perfectly formed wings, two separate
bills, but only one head and lays two
separate eggs at q time. Several
museum proprietors, it is said, have
endeavored to procure this peculiarly
built fowl, but Mrs. Henry Gouldey,
the owner, refuses to part with it for
any amount.

a Farmers Boy Fighting for Cuba.

Preston county, w. Va, has real
genuine volunteer in the Cuban army
George Nine, son of David A. Nine,
of Amblersburg, not far from the Gar
rett line, is now with the patriots and
fighting under the flag with a single
star. George is past twenty-one years
of age, and up until the first of last
month had made his home with his
parents, and assisted his father with
his business. Mr.. Nine is a wealthy
farmer and merchant
George has love of adventure, so
on the second of January he drew
$500, which he had deposited in a
savings bank, and announced that he
was going to Cuba to join the army.
He left home, although his parents
urged him to give up the project. He
went first to jacksonville, Fla, then
to Anthony ,on the Indian river, where
he expected to get in with an eXpedi-
ton fitted out for Cuba. His party
made three attempts to get away from
Florida, but each attempt proved un-
successful, but at last he got away,
and his letter home, she first one since
his departure, tells OF several thrilling
attempts at getting away. He says
it is next to impossible to give those
who guard the coast the slip. The
company in which Nine enlisted were
in hid lg along the Indian river, in Il
safe T, reat. He is promised pay at
$50 pt month for his services as a sol
der, whether he gets it ornot, his
interest in the cause of the Cubans
will keep him from turning back.
His parents are confident that they
will see their boy again, and do not
seem at all worried at his departure TO
Il land fraught with dangers.
All Kinds of Trouble.
Suppose yourself and a few friends
were very hungry and were about to
be served with fine, big turkey, by
colOred waiter. Suppose further
that when the waiter was about to
enter the dining room he stumbled
and dropped the platter upon which
he carried the turkey. What effect
would that have upon several nations
of the world?'
Suppose you tell
at would mean the downfall of
Turkey, the overthrow of Greece, the
breaking up of China, the humilia-
tion of Africa and the disappointment
of Hungary"

EX-President Harrison has written
of "A Day With the President at His
Desk" for the March LadjeS' Home
J0urHC2. The article is said to be
singularly interesting in the detail
with which it describes the wearisOme
routine of the President. 1t is said
that General Harrison, in this article,
has delivered himself with great di-
rectness and Vigor, relative to the an
nOyances that are visited upon a
Chief Executive by persistent office
seekers, and he suggests unique plan
by which the Presidents burdens in
that direction could be greatly light
ened, and he be enabled to devote
more attention to more important
matters. A feature of the article that
will have a timely interest to those
ambitious to serve the country under
the incoming administration, de
scribes very fully how the President
makes appointments to office. "a
Day With the President at His Desk
is unique in being the first time that
the daily life of the President has been
described by one who has filled the
exalted office. Articles upon the So
cial and domestic life of the President
by General Harrison will follow i'll
successive issues of the Journal.

ENEMIES OF Tue TURK.

Some timely Information about
Greece is printed by the New York
Sun:
Greece has a population of 2,1S7,2OS.
Il is called "Hellas' by its people.
The mean temperature Of Greece is
Ga degrees Fahrenheit
No part of Greece is 20 miles from
the sea or 10 miles from the hills.
About one-half of the population are
agriculturists and shepherds.
1t has an area of 24977 square miles.
II is the only country in the world
whose armies are provided with the
Gras guns and paper-coyered cart
ridges.
The Greek flag is a white cross on
blue ground-the Bavarian colors and
the Greek cross.
Greece is more thickly populated
than any other country in Europe,
with the exception of Sweden and
Prussia.
It has few rivers and many hills.
None OF the former is navigable, and
many of the latter are fortified
Its present boundary limits were de-
termined by an agreement among
Great Britain. France. Russia and
Turkey. concluded at Constantinople
on July q. 1882.
Only about 10000 of the inhabitants
speak any language other than Greek
and only about 10000 profess any re
ligion other than the orthodox.
The chief characteristics of the av-
erage Greek are his inquisitiveness,
fondness for excitement, love of dis
cussion. desire for knowledge. an apti-
tude for learning and aggressive pat
riotism.
The climate has two striking pecu-
liarities-the heat in summer and the
cold in winter are far more intense
than those of any other country in the
world lying in the same latitude. Cell

through the Morea in March he found
Summer in Messenia, spring in La
coma, and winter in Arcadia, without
having moved beyond a a radius of

The lower tracks will be used for an
