the Spartan mothers in her determ-

General Cassius M. Clay, at White

foot, but her physical condition was
such that she had travelled less
than mile when she was forced
to return to the home of her sister,
Mrs. Kelly, and obtained tho loan
of q horse TO ride to Whitehall.
She stopped on the way at the home
of her brother William, who lives
on the road to General Clay's and
about mile from Whitehall. Will

Richardson family that the General
always has despised, and had been
accused by the old warrior of having
kept Dora away from him.
But when Dora told him what

DID HE SWAL-.
LOW POISON.
Nv "A VA~VASu
Alfred Printz, Who Has
Sisters Here. Dies Mys=
teriousIy at West
Chester, Pa.

Alfred Prints, who has several sisters
hero and brother at Frederick, died at
| W Chester Monday night from tho effects
Of what is believed to be dose of poison.
The case is a strange one. For some time
past Alfred had been boarding at the resi-.
dence Of Mrs. CLytle, West Chester. On
Monday night he returned to his place of
abode at about II O'Clock, aud, after
telling his landlady that his brother was
coming to town on the midni ght train
and that he wished to be called ut that
hour, ho sought his bed room.
Scarcely had the clock In the Court
House tower finished tolling tho hour Of
.. H., than the Lytle family were arous.
ed by an unearthly noise enianatinx from
the room occupied by Printz, and repair
Ing thither they were not q little astOnish.
ed to find the young man writhtnG In con.
WILSON'S upon tho floor. Dr.. Joseph
Scattsrgood was hastily summoned and
worked with tho patient for some time.
There was every indication of poisoning.
although not drop OF any kind was
found about the room. All night long and
ali day yesterday young Printz remained
IN an unconscious condition. rousing up
for a moment to take tuinblsr of water.
The room and clothing were searched
but nothing was fonnd to indicate why he
should attempt to destroy his life, and no
reason can be assigned for the rash act
Prntz was not what ono might term an
Industrious young man. although no tried
upon more than ono oc aston to re-
form. but was unable to control bis evil
passions. He spent q vacation of two or
three years at Huntington Reform Atory,
and upon relsase two years ago returned
10 West Chester, where he has since made
bis home.

Offer the Reward.

The Philadelphia Bulletin this after,
noon has the following to say, edi, oriall,r
OF the Dover poisoning cases
Delawaro's Governor would be doing no
more than his duty If ho should offer q
handsome reward for the detection and
conviction of tho person or persons who
mailed the box Of poisoned candy which
caused the death Of Mrs. Deane aud Mrs.
Dunning -:
The crime was peculiarly atrocious and
cowardly In its nature. and Its SUCCESS
widely advertised In the newspapers, will
be likoly to stimulate other niscreant, of
malignant instincts to attempt at imlta-
ton. unless its perpetrators are hunted
down and vigorously punished.
The milling Of poisoned fruit Is easy.
Most people who received such d present.
would consume 1t without suspicion,
thinking that it came from q friends
hands.
The fact that the deadly stuff in this
case was sent clear across tho continent,
makes the task Of felreting out the crimi-
mails difficult one but it should not be
impossible of success. II due vigilance Is
used and expense Is not spared.
AT the Same time, the Delaware author
tiles should do every hing IN their power
to insure the arrest of tho guilty parties.
Murder at u long range Is an industry
which must DO relentlessly stamped out
in this country

We don't want to waste lives and ammu-
milton upon them. but If they force US to

OIL barrels are painted some of them
red and some Of them blue. In shades
of color and degrees of brightness in
dividual barrels vary according to the
freshness Of their paint and the wear
and exposure to which they have been
subjected since painting. There is
nothing very remarkable about a sin
gle oil barrel, but what with their diff
ferent c0lors and shades a great num-
Der Of oil barrels together may form
an object Of decided attraction.
Such, for instance, was a lighter load
Of oil barrels seen on the East River.
1t was big lighter with square ends.
The great mass Of barrels, thousands
Of them piled symmetrically, was OBJ
long at the base, the sides sloping in
ward as they rose, to meet in ridge
running lengthwise of the lighter, high
above Its deck, and halfway up the tall
mast that rose above its centre. The
ends Of this great obfsng pile sloped
back at the same angle as tire silse,
and at each end shorter mast APP
peared through the pile. These two
shorter masts were OF equal length,
and they stood at equal distances from
the tall mast at the middle, so that
this great square-ended lighter, with
nothing whatever graceful in its pro-
portions. was yet with its load and its
fittings an object of perfect symmetry.
And seen thus, with three clear white
masts rising above the pyramidal
mound Of red and blue, whose different
colors and various shades formed
great mosaic, softened by the distance,
the lighter load of oil barrels in tow
Of tug became very easily one of the
most picturesque CT the many inter-
esting things to be seen on q busy
waterway.

The Old and New.


The volunteers who were encamped
at Chattanooga were sitting around
talking about the dangers and trials
of a military life, when an ex-Confed-
crate soldier came lOafing up the lines.
He engaged In conversation with some
Of the recruits and heard their COM
plants about the bruised shoulders
that they had from practicing with the
new army rifles.
"Do they kick?" enquired the John
ny reb.
WELL said one Of the boys In blue,
they seem to me to act more like pugi-
lists The first one | fired off to-day

us to the tip of the chin, and il l

did you ever fire off one of the old
muskets that were used In the civil
war;"

only kicked me, but knocked me down
and tramped on me, and do believe
that If our sergeant hadn't had the

out OF me-"
And after that the canteens were
emptied.

The developments of war have
brought into the possession of the
United States the Spanish islands of
the Ladrones, just to the eastward of
the Philippines. and the end has ar
rived for maritime fiction long held
In honor in all ports Of Asia and Aus
tralia. Every year thousands Of YES
sells clear at custom houses for Guam,
yet none ever goes there-none, in fact,
ever meant to go there. Guam has al
ways seemed such legal fiction that
few have ever taken thought that there
Is such place, and fewer yet have
Investigated the reason why 1t is
maritime Tom Tiddler's ground
When a ship clears for certain
place 1t must 60 to that place by the
shortest route OF sailing. gale and
wreck excepted, and any failure calls
Tor an explanation. Yet there often
arise cases where 1t Is Of advantage not
to declare the port of destination; 1t
may be that thus skipper may avoid
being bothered with mail or it may
b that business rivalry seeks to con-
Geal some point of good trade. In such
cases the vessel clears for Guam, and
sails away to Its secret destination.
Although there is q Guam upon the
charts the vessels which have cleared
for it never lay a. course in It's direc-
don, and the law Ia none the less sat-
1sfed. How it is possible that Guam
can be such a port Is based on the old
traditions Of Spanish exclusiveness
tn the Indies, both East and West. 1t
has only been as a result Of superior
force that the Spanards have 0Teocd
The Indies TO trade, and this century
Was well advanced before the last Of
the old restrictions was removed. BY
some chance the Ladroncs were not
Included, and in accordance with the
laws Of the Indies every vessel calling
Ghere without Spanish leave is forfeit
ID. The penalty of the law has not
been exacted for many years, but the
existence of the law has made possible
the legal fiction OF clearing for Guam.
AS soon as the American forces took
possession of this archipelago tie laws
Of the Indies ceased to have effect, and
Guam lost It's peculiar distinction.
