Privateering Defined.

The Republican is requested to explain
once more what privateer is. 1t is a
ship owned and manned by private per-
sons, but specially empowered by a state,
to wage war against that states enemy
at sea. The commissions from govern
ment granting this war power to private
vessels are called letters OF maruue. Priv
ateers are generally too light in their
armament, for they are equipped at priv.
ate expense, to fight war ships OF a regu-
lar navy, and they conhne their oper
atoms almost exclusively to capturing
the enemy's deienseless merchantmen.
Privateering is generally conducted for
the money there is in it, since when an
eremy's ship and cargo are captured
they become very largely the property OF
the privateersmen. AS privateering is
a war simply on commerce, and easily
degenerates into sheer piracy, the inter-
ests of the commercial world have de-
manded its extinction and it has become
substantially extinct. In the Declaration
ofParis oi1S56 England, Russia, France,
Prussia, Austria and Sardinia (ltaly)
agreed that "privateering is and remains
abolished" The United States never
signed the agreement, nor did Spain, but
the United States is against privateering,
and has already announced that it would
not be the presidents policy to grant
letters of marque in this war. Ii Spain
commissions privateers she will do it in
defiance of all the great maritime
powers.-[Spring6eld Republican.

evening. A trial performance had been
given in Washington after which the
play was withdrawn for the purpose of
revision. 1t was presented last night in
its revised form after two weeks OF care
tul rehearsal by the company. The pub
lie judgment is that it needs still more
condensation. Those who have never
read and appreciated the different books
from which this play is drawn, will prob.
ably enjoy it much more than men and
women who have familiar appreciation
OF Ian Maclaren's stories. Itis fortunate
also that the play-going public was in.
formed beforehand that DR.. Watson ap-
proved OF the dramatic use to which his
characters were put, else they might re-
sent the freedom with which miracles are
worked-such miracles as could scarcely
be believed by his admirers had they az.
peared in the Drumtochty Bible. The
play as whole does not bear a very
striking resemblance to the stories from
which 1t is taken. Characters and inic-
dents are used from BESIDE the Bonnie
Brier Bush" 1.-THE Days of Aud Lang
Syne" and kate Carnegie" They are
connected by narrative threads OF for
eign and somewhat improbable nature,
very Inferior in thought and language to
the inspired work OF Ian Maclaren. 1t
was noticeable that wherever the dia-
logue was by Maclaren the play was
bright, but when it was the work of the
dramatists, it was dull and worse than
commonplace.
The play has to do chiefly with the hui
initiation Of Lachlan Campbell and the
flight and return Of Flora Dread of a
marriage with melodramatic villain
drives her from home; for she is engaged
to be married to Lord Hay whom she
deeply loves. She goes to London and is
found by old DR.. Mcclure in the neigh
borhood of Westminster Abbey. Though
sick, he gives no heed to her physical con-
dition until she is safely in her home in
the Glen. He then makes his famous ride
for the London physician.
Mr.. Stoddart (Lachlan CampbelD is
magnificent. He is the whole piece and
saves the whole performance. He is
himself Scotch and so can make the part
more liellke both as to dialect and the
spirit. For many years he has been con-
sidered the greatest of character actors,
and is now almost the last of the old
school OF which Jefferson is type
His present work is pronounced the
triumph of a glorious career. One of the
critics commenting rather severely on the
play this morning, says: "It Maclarer
could behold this revelation of his own
superb work, Stoddarts noble art might
recompense the -humorist for the
fustian thrust upon his gentle savages o
the Glen"
The play will be success but rather
through the efforts of the interpreter
than the constructors. 1t will be an as
sured success, says one, when the dra
matists condense themselves and put il
more of Maclaren."

News to be Relied Upon.

In such times as these through which
the country is passing it is particularly
gratifying to read newspaper whose
news can be relied upon as accurate and
faithful reports of events and conditions.
Conspicuous among such papers is the
Bos on Journal. Its pithy announce
ment that THE Boston Journal prints
facts" is borne out day by day. Not
only that, but it is showing notable
enterprise in getting all the news of the
time and in so arranging it in the paper
that the reader may turn at once to
whatever part of the news he may wish
first. The daily dispatches from
Coolidge" the Journals Washington
correspondent, and his reviews of the
situation as it progresses, have been dis
tinctly able and authoritative. Coolidge"
writes in very interesting style, bring
ing out the chief points of the news in a
manner such as only newspaper cor
respondent trained by long years ofcx-
perience in the work can do.

Severe Accident at BENIN gton.

The trains carving the third cavalry
to the front caused great deal of excite
ment. At all stations there were large
crowds of people. At Manchester a
drum corps and number of old veterans
from the 6. A. X. Post were lined up,
As the first section of the soldiers train
was pulling out of North Bennington,
William Howard, who was helping fire
the salutes from an anvil bored out for
that purpose, met with a serious acci.
dent. 1t had been heavily loaded and
taking red hot iron he stepped almost
in front OF it and touched it off. The en-
tire charge entered the calf of the right
leg, tearing it badly. He stopped over,
pulled out the wad and then fell to the
ground. Fortunately no bones were
broken. The physicians think that the
limb will be saved.

Modest HerO's Work.

A number of boys were playing Oh
the bridge which spans the river at
Toms River, N. j., when Ma rtin
Schwartz, eight years old, was dared
to cross the structure outside the guard
rail. Boy like, he took up the chal-
lenge, and was accomplishing the feat
when another boy thumped his hands.
He let go OF the guard rail and fell
into the stream. The water at this
point is about twenty feet deep, and
the boy came up for the last time just
as Mr.. Bush, of Elmira, was crossing
the bridge to take the train for New
York. Mr.. Bush sprang over the rail,
grabbed the lad, swan with him to
shore, left him in the hands of the ex-
cited crowd that had begun to gather,
and with his clothes dripping wet ran
for his train, which he caught as it
moved out of the station.

No time for fowersl Who has it?
Certainly few living IL The country,
where soil is plentiful. True, farmers
wives are busy if any class of women
are, but there are always few spare
moments which might be lost or used
to less advantage. Even if few extra
steps are taken at certain seasons
the pleasure when blooming time
comes is SO restful as to fully repay
the labor.
The old-time garden, with multi
plicity of work entailed by lack Of
improved implements, found time and
space for at least the lilac and snow
bail. These are equally valuable to
the modern grower who has little time
to devote to flowers, for after they are
once established almost no care is re-
quired save the annual pruning and
fertiliZing. During their blooming
season the profusion Of blossoms is
certainly ample compensation for the
time and labor expended.
There are now many other shrubs
to be obtained that are equally hardy
and thrive with as little care, some of
them even more desirable thaa the
favorites OF generation OF two ago.
The white lilac, for instance, partakes
OF the good qualities of its better
known sister, while ta many the color
is preferable.
She syringa is deservedly popular,
its delicious odor being as highly
priced as the exquisite purity of the
blossoms. Late frosts sometimes nip
the flower buds, but there is cur
rent saying thai when there are
peaches there will be "mock orange
blossoms.
The spireas in their numerous
species furnish most artistic decora.
tions, the blossoms varying from the
plum-leaved bridal rose to dainty
plume-like panicler.
In midsummer, Wien there is q
dearth of flowers, the hardy hydrangea
is loaded with its immense panicles,
as large and even more graceful than
those of the tender hydrangea. as they
are somewhat elongated rather than
spherical. They are at first pure
white, gradually assuming a pinkish
blue, and remain fresh for weeks
They may be cut and dried for winter
bouquets, retaining their original
form and much of their beautj. -

When young the plants should be
cultivated every week or ten days and
this work continued until the growth
becomes so large as to prevent it.
Weeds should not be allowed to get a
foothold. Every grower emphasizes
this as an essential requisite to sue
cess. Not only are the plants stunted
and the growth lessened through the
competition of weeds, but the quality
of the oil is much deteriorated by the
diffusion of the juices of other plants
in the process of distillation. The
mint should receive a shallow cultiva-
ton and the surface kept level. A
common two-horse corn cultivator
with small teeth is good tool for this
purpose. Usually one hoeing and
six civilizations will suffice. After
the wedding season is over, there will
still be some weeds which should be
destroyed. Weeds along highways
and fences which will mature seed
liable to be carried by the wind should
be cared for. Like mint, many weeds
contain oil in their foliage and when
distilled the oil mixes with mint oil,
rendering the latter less valuable.
Fire weed is probably the worst of all;
rag weed, smart weed, boneset, golden
rod are all known to contain a certain
percentage OF oil. Sheep sorrel is
damaging owing to its tendency to
choke out the crop.-American Agri-
culturist.

The characters number about four

turns the wheel, and the second stops
1t at the required letter, which is then
brought down to the paper. The ma
chine is complicated, but the inventor
(Dr. Sheffield) hopes to make 1t more

New Use for Peanuts.

A new use for peanut is developing as
the peanut butter industry becomes
better understood. The product of the
peanut answers in the place of ordi.
nary butter for the table use, and is
said to be excellent for shortening pur-
poses, and for gravies, sauces, etc. In
point Of purity it is well designed for
the use of vegetarlans who strenuous
ly object to anything animal. There is
already considerable demand for this
butter substitute, and 1t is very prob
able there will be an enlarged market
for the nuts. At present the product
of the United States is about 100000
bags annually, and that Of the world
is G00,000,000 pounds.-West Coast
