our Summer Homes

We begin ibis week the Publishing
of series Of cuts illustrating the
hotels, boarding houses, and various
places of Milford and vicinity. The
charms of our waterfalls and syl-
van retreats have been sung by
poets, painted by artists, and sound
ed with the eloquenee of orators,
and yet to be fully appreciated,
these must be seenina all their beauty
and freshness There are few places
so admirably adapted for health Civ
ing and pleasant recreation as this
valley with its sparkling water, pure
mountain air, and perfect roads.
The scenery is fine. Nature has
been profuse and lavish in her gifts,
she has made every advance to the
seeker of health and outdoor en-
jOyment, she charms away care and
soothes the weary with her every
varying smiles and surprises of new
beauties. There are walks and
rides in every direction, and at
every turn a change in thepanorama
of mountain, vale and river views.

The American Economist of March
25 presents in the form of a pictor-
ial supplemental unique and inter-
esting array of drawings and car
toons selected from the files of that
paper for the past three years. The
illustrations, several hundred in
number, emphasize in a peculiarly
forcib1e manner the strength of the
doctrine of Protection as an active,
living political issue, and also dem
onstrates with what vigor and ag-
gressiveness this doctrine has been
expounded by the American Tariff
League.

CONGRESSMAN KIRKPATRICK EXPRESSES
HIS VIEWS.
In an interview published in the

from the Eighth Pennsylvania Dis.
trict gives his ideas in unmistake-
able language. He says ;
at is the duty of this Govern
ment on the grounds of humanity,
and that interest we have always
taken in the affairs of this continent
to directly intervene. The condi-
ton of the island, the utter failure
of Spain to govern and control
and the desolation and destruction
of life and property that is going on
there justify us in directly inter
vening, and if our intervention is not
accepted by Spain, to intervene ef-
fectually, even if force is necessary,
1t is no longer civilized warfare that
is being carried on in Cnba and time
and the conditions existing there
demonstrate the utter inability of
Spain to maintain her dominion over
the island. l am therefore in favor
of direct intervention, peaceable if
possible, forcible if necessary. We
are sustained by the precedents and
practices of the civilized nations of
Europe under similar conditions.

stone state.
HARRISBURG, March 2S-Renewed
activity in State politics is the cause
Of considerable bustling on the Hill
and since the Lancaster County
primaries nothing but the probable
chances of thevarious gubernatorial
candidates has been discussed, Sec
retary of the Commonwealth Mar
tin is of the opinion that although
the county stood by it's old friend
Quay, he was severely rebuked, for
the majorities were nothing in COM
parison with those of a few years
ago. Senator Kauffman's defeat
considerably surprised everybody
for it was thought that his record
as an antagonist during the last ses-
sion of the Legislature had won for
him many friends, but instead itap-
pears that Quay's lieutenants had
things pretty well in hand, and they
succeeded admirably when the fact
is taken into consideration that the
opposition had thoroughly travers-
ed the district meetings having
been held nightly at which Mr..
Wanamaker and Mr.. Kaufman al
ways managed to be present and
attack the Quay organization. How
ever this had little effect and the
result completely checked Mr.. Wan
amakers day dreams. Had it not
been for his advisers insisting upon
his remaining a candidate it is more
than likely that the Postmaster
General would be out of the fight at
this date. Since the strong pres
sure has been brought to bear, how
ever, he has decided to remain in
the race to the finish, and is conf
dent of securing the nomination
Since the establishment of head
quarters in Philadelphia with COM
petent men in charge and the know
ledge of having secured the dele
gates in several counties, he is sim
cere in his statements to the effect
that he has a good show of being
the nominee. If it should occur,
however, that he lacks strength to
secure the required number of votes
he will do all in his power to assist
some of the numerous candidates
who claim to be standing on their
own merits, and not the tool of a
corrupt organization, just in order
to prevent any further tyrannical
domineering by his adversaries.
While General Wanamaker is
making all these calculations Col
onel VIM. A. Stone continues fight
ing his battle on individual merits,
and is so elated over his recent sue
ousses that he pays no attention to
trash utterances aimed at him. The
Colonel is improving in health and
in a few days will again be able to
take personal command of his cam
paign and 1t is needless to say that
he will make serious inroads on the
fences of opposing candidates, for
his popularity continues on the in
crease, this proving his assertion of
some time ago that he is the peoples
choice. OF the delegates already
selected Colonel Stone has a nice
majority and his nomination next
June is a foregone conclusion. Sem
ator Quay has not yet announced
allegience to any candidate.

The Maine Report.

President Nc Kinley in sending
the report of the Naval Court to
Congress accompanied it with a mes
sage temperate in tone. The report
finds that the ship was blown up
by mine under the port side, but
was unable to find any evidence fix
ing the responsibility on any person
or persons. The President urges
that the matter be deliberately con
sidered. He has simply confined
himself to plain statement of facts
and closes by saying, 81 do not per-
NIT myself to doubt that the sense
of justice of the Sp nish nation will
dictate a course of action suggested
by honor and the friendly relations
of the two governments. 1t will be
the duty of the Executive to advise
the Congress of the result and in the
meantime, deliberate consideration
is invoked. "

able that the next few days will de-

The article is replete with facts
of interest, and no one in this section
is better qualified than the writer of
it to illume the early history of this

to the fact that his life has been
passed in it, makes his facile pen es-
pecially eloquent in portraying the
events which surrounded the pio-

ROMANCE OF THE STAGE.
How Pretty Actress Won Her Lover
and Got the Parental Blessing.

Cumberland, Nd, Nov. 29.-Inex
Rae, pretty young actress, whose
name off the stage was Amalie De
Kalb, and who was born in Cumber-
land, was married a few days ago to
Jack MacWilliams, son of a wealthy
steamboat owner in Jersey City. Miss
Rae had been a member of Weber and
Fields stock company. Mr.. Mac
Williams father, who is a devout
Presbyterian, strenuously opposed the
match, but his son, who was taken
very i'll, sent for Inez, who left her
vocation and tenderly watched over
him. She completely won over the
father and her marriage to the son
followed soon after his convalescence.
She is beautiful young woman, and
had been favorite on the vaudeville
stage. Young MacWilliams is heir
to nearly one million dollars, and is
we'll known in club and social circles.
Mrs. MacWilliams is come from a
prominent Carolina family, and is a
descendant of Baron DeKalb, a hero
of the revolution. She has near rel
atives in Baltimore, and one brother
is with Dewey at Manila, being on
the Baltimore.

Rome, Nov. 3O.-The work of the
anti-anarchist congress began yes
terday and it is notable
that it also marked the be-
ginning of the jubilee of the Austrian
kaiser, the assassination of whose
wife brought about the conference.
The striking character of this meet
ing, though not it's presiding official,
who is Admiral Canevaro of
Italy, is M. de Nelidoff, Russia's rep
resentative. He is the greatest
diplomat Russia has had since de
Giers, and it was his masterful policy
which practically controlled the af-
fairs of the Turk until recently. Ills
hand has also been apparent in the
far east, although more recently in
ternal affairs have demanded his at
tention. Whatever united action as
against anarchists is taken up by this
conference will undoubtedly receive
it's stimulus from NJ. de Nelidoff.
One of the questions to be con-
sidered is: Shall anarchists be extra
d4ted or expelled simply as anar-
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1898-12-05

chists, without having committed any
overt act? And shall state have
the right simply to drive them out
or must it deliver them in custody to
the state of their origin? Upon these
and some cognate questions there will
doubtless be much variance OF
opinion and more debate than upon
all the rest. Another question will
be the prevention of anarchist prop
uganda and the surreptitious circu-
lation of anarchist literature; and the
fourth will be like unto it, namely
the prevention of morbid publicity to
the doings, sayings and characteristics
of anarchists. These two will not be
passed without some debate since
they affect directly freedom of
speech and the liberty of the press.
Finally, the conference will consider
the best forms of punishment to be
inflicted upon anarchists guilty Of
overt acts of criminality. There has
been some dissatisfaction expressed
because the murderer of the empress
of Austria is imprisoned for life and
not put to death. There is, however,
a widespread notion that silence and
oblivion, such as rigorous life i'm
prisonment assures, might and prob
ably would be more powerfully de-
terrent to anarchists than the scat
fold, which gives them opportunity
to pose as martyrs.
