NOTES AND CONTENTS.

Many persons showed their patriot
ism on the Fourth.
Miss Blanche f. Hewitt, of Will
Transport, Md, is visiting Miss Lille
Russler, on Liberty street, this city.
Thanks, Lot, but you should have
said inferior instead of superior
knowledge. Pleased to know you and
all other friends enjoyed the day so
pleasantly.
We learn the audience of Uncle
Toms Cabin was elegant and the per-
Torrance remarkably poor. Remem-
Der Barnum's words about how the
American people like to be humbug-
ged.
The delivery of the mail is not much
of a snap judging from the flushed
faces of the carriers last week. The
territory to travel is in some instances
rather large, which necessitates miles
of travelling.
Some regretted tie Fourth of July
had not come two weeks earlier as
that appeared to be the day set for an
elegant down pour of rain 1t spoiled
the patriotic speeches, but it made
many bushels of corn and vegetation
1t was bountiful supply and very
acceptable, cooling the air and making
one feel as though life was worth liv
ing.
1t has been useless during the past
few weeks for Martinsburg people to
inquire if it has been "hot enough for
YOU" Everybody believes that re-
duction in the expenditure of solar
energy would be as acceptable as ice
cream, soda water, or lemonade, and
good shower of rain to refresh and
revive the covering of mother earth
would be nearly as acceptable as the
surrender of the Spaniards. We
would like to have both.
The small boy and the fire crackers
were very conspicuous in every por-
ton of the city. They played their
part to perfection, with no cessation
of noise. The trades displayed
were quite elaborate and made good
showing. The procession with our
two excellent bands was fine to say
the least. but the man on stills was
out of sight Some thought his pro-
peling power was entirely too long in
comparison with the upper portion of
his makeup, although he might make
good Spanish soldier, as he could
make such lengthy strides in re-
treat.
No. we gave no description of our
visit to the Gettysburg backgrounds.
1t is sail, seeing is believing. 1t
will excel any description made, and
the opportunity was afforded to all,
and so cheap to see for themselves,
that we presumed those who did not
attend, had no desire to see or hear
from those who had accepted. New
ertheless all had day of real enjoy
ment, and Providence permitting we
expect to go again, about next June.
The interests and sights there are
never ending, yet when the thunder
ing of cannon. the continuous roar OF
musketry, and the clanking OF sabres
was so distinctly heard, we were eX-
ceedingly anxious to vacate the little
village, when death and destruction
was lurking on every side. What
change has been wrought since then.
Monuments mark the spots OF fallen
heroes. Breastworks are almost in
distinct The village has grown, its
population having more than doubled
itself, and its inhabitants are happy
people who are always willing to treat
stranger in that style of good old
Pennsylvania hospitality. RALF.

Americas natal day was the one
dav in the year when all America re-
ioiced. Patriotic America was happy
because Sampson had smashed Ger
vera and Dewey was reinforced.
Young America was jubilant because
once in his life he could make noise
without let or hinderance. Business
America enthused with the thought
of advertising his wares and at the
same time manifesting his love o.
country. Feminine America was al
her prettiest, gowned in white and
decorated with red, white and blue.
Agricultural America had holiday
and the generous rain during the
afternoon refreshed his corn and pc.
tatoes and oats and garden sass
PersDiring America gave a great sigh
of relief when he ceased to mop his
marble brow. The Day Of Days was
a day OF Joy of gladness. OF congratu-
1ation. of exhilaration, of lightness o.
spirits, of the elimination Of anxious
expectation, OF exultation, gayety
,nirth merriment and testlvity, OF eX
uberant outpursts of patriotic tervor
There was but one,cloud in our nation
al skv-mourning for the brave heroes
that had fallen in defense of the Star
Spangled Bauner-but the rainbow o
promised liberty to the oppressed
made our grief less poignant.

Farmers Break the Buggy Monopoly

1t is claimed that for years buggy
manufacturers have secured exorbitant
prices for their goods, but recently,
through the combined assistance of the
farmers of Iowa, Illinois and other
states SEARS, RoEBUCK Il Co, of Chica-
20, have got the price of open bug
gies down to $780, Top Buggies,
90 rs; Top Surries, S43.75 and upwards,
and they are shipping them in immense
numbers direct to farmers in every state.
They send an immense Buggy Catalogue
free, postpaid, to any one who asks for
it. This certainly is a big victory for
the famers, but a severe blow to the car
riage manufacturers and dealers. IL

WHAT TROOPS WILL cor
Speculation Rife on Subject of Porto
Rico Expedition.

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK,
July 18.-Speculation was rife throughout
Camp Thomas as TO what regiments will
BY tomorrow noon the First Corps will
have been thoroughly equipped and every
regiment in the corps will be in readiness.
but on account of the latest dispatches
from Washington II Is expected that more
than two divisions of General Brooke s
Corps will be called for. IL is natural
to suppose that the First and Second
divisions as they now exist will constitute
the expeditionary force, but precedents
have proved that the War Department
cannot be relied upon to send brigade
organizations to the front, as they exist
in camp For various reasons. important
changes may be made and the troops re-
brigaded.
In the event that there are no changes
of this character the regiments likely to
be included are as follows:
First Divsion-The brigade now at
Charleston, consisting of the Second aHl
Third Wisconsin, and Sixteenth Penn
sylvania; the Third Illinois. Fourth Penn
sylvania, Fourth Ohio. First and Third
Kentucky, Fifth Illinois. Thirty-frst
Michigan. 10th Indiana, First Georgia.
Sixth Ohio, 15Sth Indiana, First West
Second Ohio. First Pennsylvania,
and Fourteenth Minnesota.
Five carloads OF ordnance stores ar
rived to-day.
In accordance with orders received last
night, the wagon-train OF the Second
Brigade, First Division, First Corps, left
for Charleston this afternoon. 1t is
accepted as conclusive that General
Haine's Brigade. consisting of the Fourth
Fourth Ohio. and Third
Illinois, will go forward not later than
Wednesday.
1t is the opinion of one of the best
officials at General Brooke's
headquarters that the entire force to be
included in the order will leave the park
turing the present week.

A sCHLEY COMMITS SUICIDE.
Cousin of COmmodore's Brooded
over Failure to Get Into Navy.

TAMPA, FLA, July 6-Freeman
Schley, a cousin TO Commodore Schley,
OF the United States navy, died at his
rooms. on Seventh avenue, yesterday af-
ternoon. To-day it was announced by the
physicians that he died from the effects
OF an overdose OF morphine, and inquiry
developed the fact that the morphine was
taken with suicidal intent. Professor
Schley was teacher Of languages here.
and had been for years. He was a man
of pleasing address, good education, and
brilliant intelligence. His family connec-
tons were known here to be Of the best.
and his pleasing manners made him many
friends. He made great deal OF money,
and received large sums from his people,
but spent it all like water. He was
generous TO a fault with his friends, and
his money went this way. For a long
time he had been strongly addicted 10
drink, but, despite this fact, he had a
large patronage, and people representing
the best element Of society sought him for
lessons In Spanish, French, and German,
all of which he taught 10 perfection.
Some time after the war-clouds began 10
lower he decided 10 brace up. and made
up his mind 10 seek place in the navy.
He wrote TO his cousin. told him OF his
intention, and asked for place. 1t now
develops that he received only Indifferent
announcement from the Commodore, and
he had brooded over this matter until X
finally ended by his taking his own life.
j. +. Schley, a brother. is a prominent
businessman OF Savannah. while his
mother lives in New York, and is wealthy.
An uncle on his mothers side was once
Governor Of Georgia, and on his fathers
side he had an uncle who was Governor
OF Pennsylvania.
Professor Schley's friends. who have
been intimate with him, say that his dis
appointment at not getting into the navy
proved upon his mind and despite his |
sunny disposition, he could not bear the |
idea OF being turned down by kinsman. |
He did not show this feeling to the casual |
observer. but keeping IL TO himself so |
long, he finally ended his life.
He left no letter or word OF explana- |
ton. and gave no reason for his rash |
act. He was about 40 years old. and had |
travelled over nearly the entire world !

IGNORANT OF THE SURRENDER.
Notification of Spnniards Outside
Santiago May Cause Trouble.

GUANTANAMO BAY, July II. p. NJ
The problem of notifying the Spanish
troops Of the Fourth Army Corps, outside
of those which composed the garrison OF
Santiago de Cuba, of the surrender OF
General ToraPs forces is likely to cause
some trouble.
The Spaniards at Guantanamo are evil
IDENTIFY still ignorant of the surrender, and
the Cubans under General Perez have
daily skirmishes with the defenders OF
the town, who are apparently trying 10
break through the lines and join the
Spanish forces at Santiago de Cuba.
General Miles, who arrived here on the
Yale this afternoon, says that General
Torai will send officers to the different
garIisons in the province notifying them
of ;he surrender. The Spaniards in Guam
tanamo can be easily reached and they
will be ordered to come down the bay and
surrender. Those inland, however, will
be more difficult to communicate with,
and it will probably be some time before
all the Spanish troops are notified.
