POWHATlI AN PIPES.
Made From Peculiar Kind Of Virginia
Clay and Made Sweet by Fire.

Made From : Peculiar Kind Of Virginia
Clay and Made Sweet by Fire.
The old coasting captain was gazing
upon a crudely shaped red clay pipe
which he smoked at the end Of long,
many jointed reed stem, while he filled
the ears Of the observant Jersey man
with its praises
0If you want the sweetest pipe in
the world, he said, you must get one
OF these. They are the original Pow
haitian pipes, made in Powhatan county,
Va, out Of a peculiar blue clay which
IS found there in little nodules and fin
ished in a peculiar way.
The genuine Powhatan pipe can
never be found north Of Baltimore, and
It is easier to get one in Norfolk than
IN Baltimore. If you begin smoking
one, you will discard your meerschaums
and brier woods and smoke nothing
else. When 1T gets strong, you merely
put it into the fire and burn it sweet
again. The imitation Powhatan pipes
would crack to pieces if you try to burn
them sweet, but the genuine can be
thrust in safety right into the bright
GOALS. although, Of course, it is better
to let them heat more gradually
Under the stimulus Of this praise the
observant Jerseyman sent to a friend in
Norfolk for half a dozen of the pipes
After time he received them, with a
bill for Is cents for the pipes and SIS for
the trouble of finding them.
: sG7f r,o,, ho/3 ~ 81 - H.
sold two for quarter" his friend
wrote, IT should never have got the
right kind for you. Invent to almost
every tobacconist in Norfolk hunting
for them. Each one showed me pipe
which looked about the same as these,
but was only 10 cents. Finally, one
day, after I had about given up the
search, I happened to mention it to a
longshoreman. There is only one shop
in Norfolk, he said, where you can get
the genuine Powhatan pipe. That is
little place down along the river front ;
He gave me the address, and there I
found them. - >s.$ .<s#.--5
The observant Jerseyman has smoked
the Powhatan pipe many times since
then, and he still believes the old cap
tain's praise was warranted. On the
caution label which came about each
pipe it is said that the peculiar quail
ties Of the genuine pipes are due to the
fact that they are finished by hand pol
ishing instead of a glazing, thus leav-
ing to the clay all of it's natural porosi-
ty and absorbent qualities.-New York

HAPPENS ONLY IN NOVELS,
British Emigration as English Writers See
49,. 1t and as It Really Is. .t.z..

; s.
England no doubt loves us dearly,
but the English authors have not yet
discovered that fact in it's entirety.
Clark Russell, Max Pemberton and An
thony Hope, to say nothing Of Conan
Doyle and Rudyard Kipling, will have
it that all Americans are Yankees, al
though they would resent the charge
that all Englishmen are cockneys
Another symptom of the drift is in
relation to emigration from Great Brit
ain. Statistics show that an enormous
number Of people come to this country
from Great Britain, but the novelists
never heard Of it. Micawber and his
interesting family went to Australia
and got rich. So did every other emf
grant that Dickens sent abroad, unless,
like Martin Chuzzlewit and Mark Tap
ley, they were sent to this country to
point a moral and adorn tale All
English writers resemble Dickens in
that respect. In their stories the emf
grants all 60 to Australia, Canada, At
rica-anywhere but the United States.
This trait comes under the head of
"loyalty to the crown They know per-
fectly we'll that the British emigrant,
unless assisted by a British society,
takes himself and belongings to this
country, and even if the society kindly
lands him in Canada he takes the first
chance Of skipping over the border. The
only time he goes to the ''colonies'
with cheerful alacrity is in the pages of
a British novel. Chicago Times-Her-

NEW WORDS NEEDED.

English Demand For Such Combinations
as ':Killment" and 'Tovist."
There is one thing that has not yet
been ''treated'' by the universal i'm
prover-that pest who tries to set every
thing right-and that is our English
language. None but foreigners have as
yet had cause to complain of it, every
Britisher seems to be satisfied with it
except me.
Now, why aren't there, more words?
We have something like 10000, but
that is not enough, and we often expe.
rience difficulties on this account.
For instance, when bus topples
over in the street the newspapers boom
out with long winded headings about
"the falling over of bus, - "collapse
Of a bus" or "the overturning Of a
bus" etc. But these are more or less
clumsy. Clearly it's the word cover
turnsion" that is wanted. "The over
turnsion Of bus'' hits the situation
perfectly.
Then, again, if you want to say that
hundred Gordon highlanders were an
initiated by an Arab tribe, you could
considerably shorten your sentence by
. the concise expression, ARAB killment
Of 100 Gordon highlanders.
Thousands Of colloquialisms could be
modified in similar way. The awk-
ward word photograph could be changed
to 'fotofy,'' puncture to punk" Gig
arctic to "cigette," situation to "si-
ton" or "sitment,'' and so on. a.
In more sentimental matters new
words would be a decided boon. A man
somehow can't help blushing when he
calls the woman Of his heart ''sweet-
heart, - 'lover'' or "intended. They
are ugly words. my GIRL" of course,
is low, and "fancee'' is avoided because
it cannot be pronounced properly.
"Lovist, "spilcer" Or thatcher" are
infinitely more tasteful and convey the
proper meaning.-London Answers.

Swayed by q PLAY.

An impressive instance of play that
Influenced 9. human life comes from one
Of the northern towns, where a very
striking play was being performed in
which the disastrous consequences fol-
lowing on the love of two men for the
same woman were realistically present
ed. A young engineer who had coiceiv-
ed violent affection for girl who had
resented his attentions in view of the
fact that she loved another man, who
CHANGED to be the engineer's bosom
friend, witnessed this play one even
ing, and it made a very deep impression
on him, as it seemed almost to have
been written to apply to his own I'M
happy situation. Act by act the tragic
story was unfolded, jealousy Of the dis
appointed lover ending in crime and
punishment, and when at length the
curtain fell the engineer had come to a
decision. He went home, packed up a
few necessaries and a week later set
out for Australia, where, by a lucky
stroke year later, he made mighty
fortune. He attributed all his success
to the play in question, for had he never
seen it he would never have gone away
from England, and perhaps some awful
occurrence might have arisen from his
unrequited passion London Standard

The army officers trunk, which is an
article Of limited but regular sale in
peace times, being sold chiefly to regu-
lar army officers, is a stout, well made
trunk Of rather generous proportions,
SO divided inside as to afford spaces for
both military and civilian attire. There
is place for an officers chapeau and

room for the different clothing, and the
trunk is large enough to admit a sword
laid diagonally. A trunk Of this sort is

Broadly speaking, the essential differ

carry their loads or prin cipal portions
thereof low down IN the hold; whereas
warships have to carry their heavy bur

sampsOn's San Juan Report.

WASHINGTON, May 2I.-The navy de-

wAsHINGToS, May 30. The military
invasion of Cuba has begun. Unless the
orders of the War Department miscar-
ried, at an early hour this morning the
troops that have been gathered at the
Gulf ports began to break camp and
march aboard transports waiting TO car
ry them to the enemy's territory.
About . of these ships, the biggest
and fastest that could be obtained, suita-
bic for the purpose, had been gathered
ready to receive the troops. They will
accommodate about $1,000 men, for in a
short voyage like that from one Of the
Gulf ports to Cuba it is possible with
safety and comfort to carry lauch larger
number of men aboard ship than would
be admissible in the case of a cruise to
the Philippines, for instance.
How many troops started this morn
ing; where they took ship; where they
are bound, are questions which the di-
reeting spirits of the campaign refuse
positively to answer.
NO INFORMATION FOR THE ENEMY.
They have no desire that the Spanish
should have opportunity afford them to
gather forces to attack our soldiers as
they land. Therefore, nothing Of the de-
tails of this first movement could be
learned.
There is suspicion that the start will
be made from Tampa and Mobile, and it
is probable that in such ease the fleets Of
transports will converge at Key West to
move under the conveys of warships
which Admiral Sampson has provided to
insure the troops during the passage
across the Florida Straits against attack
at the hands of some stray Spanish
cruiser or gunboat.

DESTINATION NOT YET DIVULGED.
VOLUNTEER RESERVES WILL SOON SEE SERVICE.

1t is probable that there will be no less
than four separate military expeditions.
and that these will be landed at four differ
ent points. Whether Puerto Rico is one
of these points or not cannot be learned.
Before the entire force which it is pro
posed to use in Cuba can be landed the
transports must make four separate vOy-
ages across the straits.
THE INSURGENTS PUT IN SHAPE.
Arrangements have been made to util-
ize the services of the insurgents TO the
largest possible extent. The Govern
ment already has sent expeditions to a
large number of points on the islands
and landed arms for the insurgents.
Most of the parties succeeded perfectly in
their object, and it was said at the War
Department to-day that a sufficient num-
Der of the insurgents have been armed to
constitute very effective supporter the
troops as they land.

White House at ) o'clock this afternoon,
between the President aud his two war
Secretaries, Alger aud Long, and Major
General Miles, in command of the army.
Vice President Hobart, who accompanied

with him to luncheon. was presenta part
of the time, and Secretary Day, who had
just returned To Washington, also drop

entire situation, naval and military, had

WASHINGTON, May 29.-General orders

structions for the government of armies
of the United States in the field, have
been re issued and are being sent to the
various commanders for their guidance
during the conflict with Spain. The in
structions cover almost every conceivable
feature of military conduct and usage in
time of war. Military necessity admits
of all direct destruction of life or limb of
armed enemiCs, and of other persons
whose destruction is incidentally una
vOidable in armed contests. Military ne
eessity does not admit of the infiiction of
suffering for the sake of suffering or for
revenge, nor Of manning or wOunding

confessions. Ii admits of deception, but
disclaims acts of perfdy.

Political gossip.

From Saturdays Harrisburg Telegraph.
Senator Quay will come 10 Harrisburg
during the next forty-eight hours for a
conference on the political situation with
State Chairman Elkin and other lieuten-
ants. The Senator has his friends guess
ing on the contest for Governor, and they
are anxious TO know whom be will sup
port. Senator Andrews and others close
TO the Beaver Statesman claim Colonel
William A. Stone is his first choice and
that he will ask the delegates to vote for
him. Several State officials who have
seen the Senator within ten days say he
declined to indicate his choice, except 10
say that he favored a soldier tieaet.
This is taken to mean that neither
Charles w. Stone nor John Wanamaker
will be nominated if he can help it. As
it looks now, Colonel Stone viii be the
nominee for Governor; Senator 5. J. NJ.
McCarrell or Senator Goblin of Lebanon
for Lieutenant Governor; General James
w. Latta, of Philadelphia. Secretary of
Internal Affairs; William Porter, of
Philadelphia, Superior Court Judge; Ga
lusha 4. Grow, of Susquehanns, and
Samuel 4. Davenport, Congress- at Large.
State Chairman John p. Elkin, Of In
diana, will have no opposition for re-
election.
Auditor General McCauley's boli stand
for Colonel Stone rather indicates that
Quay favors the Alleghenian. Major
McCauley spent Sunday with the Senator
at Washington discussing the political
situation. When he returned Monday he
called meeting Of the Chester delega-
ton, of which be il chairman. aud reso-
lutions were adopted endorsing Stones
candidacy Lancaster's twelve delegates
may vote for ex-Lieutenant Governor
Watres, of Scranton, who will be here
Monday. Mr.. Waters is not an svowed
candidate, but he wants TO be in position
to get into the fight if there is a chance to
win. Quay's friends on Capitol Hill say
the Lancaster delegates will be for Col.
Stone if their votes are needed to nomi-
nate him. Adjutant General Stewards
cohorts have not yet lost hope of his
nomination. They claim he is the most
available compromise candidate, aud
talk of trying to stampede the convention
for him.

THE result of the primary elections
in Bedford and Somerset counties, says
the Altoona Tribune. Is in accordance
with the previous predictions of those
who had their ears to the ground du-
ring the last week. The people of this
congressional district are specially con-
cerned about the congressional struggle
which ends with each county in the
district presenting a candidate. Blair
has endorsed Congressman Hicks, Cam
bria will stand by Alvin Evans, SOM
erset has declared for Mr.. Kaoser, while
Joseph f. Thropp seems to have car
ried Bedford. This indicates q pro-
tracted struggle and possible dead
lock to the end. The Tribune has said
some earnest words in opposition to
the cOnferee system, but il appsars to
suit the politicians and no serious eff ,rt
has been made to supersede il by bet
ter and more rational method We be-
lieve steps were taken in this county
some months ago TO arrange confer
ence between representative Republi-
cans of the four counties at which re-
form might be attempted, but nothing
came of it. The bitterness and diseon-
tent wrought by these prolonged and
exasperating contests are well calcula-
ted to produce irritation and breed dis
content, which feelings may eventuate
in the defeat of the party. This would
be downright calamity and should be
avoided by the leaders OF the organiza-
ton.
