In military prisons an offender is some
times sentenced to carry cannon balls from
one place to another and pile them up all
day long. That is all. Perhaps IT does not
seem very terrible but 1t soon wears his
life out. 1t is practically death sentence,
and he knows it, he would rather be shot
Many a sick man feels the same way about
the burden of disease that he is Juggling
back and forth from day to day. He would
as soon be down with mortal disease. 1t
will come to that sooner OF later.
A mans life can be dragged out by
dyspepsia and liver complaint. The ex-
perience of Mr.. J. T. Cardwell of Fall
Greek Depot, Pittsylvania Co., Va, shows
how DR.. PieTces Golden Medical Discov-
cry saves people from consumption by
waking up their nutritive organism and
giving 1t power to supply pure, healthy
blood, which drives out blood poisons and
dead tissues aud builds up sound, whole

England Speaks.

Anent the assertion that other
European countries would back Spain
in her refusal to surrender the Phil
ippines, the London Times, on Mon
day, is out in an editorial in which
occur these significant expressions:
"No power will attempt to hinder
the transfer of the PHILIPPINES. Their
loss cannot be great to Spain, who
had practically lost the entire archi-
pelagO before the United States
interfered."
The Times is we'll understood to
represent the government of Eng
land.

President Mckinley A Virginia Mason.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-"I am
Virginia Mason" the President is
quoted as saying to the delegation
from Virginia that called on him
to invite him to be present at the
reburial Obsequies of George Wash
ington.
After the surprise this remark oc-
casioned had worn off, the President
explained how he happened to be-
come Virginia Mason. 1t was in
1865, when he was camped in Vir-
GINA. He had many friends, and in
due course of the year matters were
so arranged that Major Mckinley
was admitted to the Masonic order.
He entered through the Lodge at
Winchester, the sacred mysteries of
the order being revealed to him by
Confederates, and Confederates con-
Quoting him through the labyrinth
of Masonic reasoning. He had al
ways cherished memories of that
night in Winchester as it seemed to
him, he said, to be the beginning of
the union, which was to he culmi-
mated later. He might have added
which had been eliminated in his
own administration.
He told the delegation, which was
headed by Senator Daniel, that he
would promise to be present at the
Washington celebration but he would
not promise to make an address.
The Virginia Masons are making
preparations on very extensive
scale for this event. 1t does not
take place until December ii, 1899.
They propose to conduct the funeral
services over Washington, carrying
out in detail the services which were
held over President Washington one
hundred years ago. The celebration
will take place at Mt. Vernon, and
while it will be national in character
it will be under the management o.
the Masons of the Old Dominion
State. The President was very much
interested in the program as pre-
scented to him, and was especially
pleased at the idea of repeating thu
Masonic burial of the patriot dead.

1t is certain that the United States
government will not pay Spain ex-
ceeding $2O,OOO.OOO for the Philip
pine Islands, or rather for the better
ments for which Spain owes legiti-
mate debts, and for which our gov
eminent, through the Commissioners
at Paris, made offer.

A XALuARLE FIND.

One Of our citizens was surprised, the
other evening, on seeing bag lying in
the middle of the road, showing signs of
life. Was it possessed by a witch? Our
hero marched boldly up to the writhing
sack and fearlessly seized hold of it
when a grunt and porcine squeal answer
ed his grip. He carried the pig home
and put him in a safe place, and it was
not long before farmer from an adioin.

the young scion of ham which had, un-
beknOwn to him, tumbled from the rear

THE FIRE DISTRICT LIMITS.

The committee on fire dis riot limits
appointed at an open meeting Of the Cit
liens CLUB held several weeks ago, have
completed their labors and will recon-
mend the following: Commencing at
the southwest corner Of the old GENE
terry and running northwesterly in a
straight line to southwest corner of the
D. F. Hannah farm, then in q straight
line to the junction of the road in front
of Jerome Fl. Woodruff's, then straight
to the Charles E. Lockwood residence,
then to the northwest corner Of A. W.
Woolson's main factory, then to the
stone bridge east of Andrew Fox's fac
tory, then to the junction of the high,
ways east of the M. Hemming way &
Sons factory, then straight to the place
where IL commenced. The committee,
which is composed of some of Water
towns best men, have devoted good
deal of time to the consideration of this
question and have arrived at the conclu-
sion that the above boundary is the best
suited to the present needs of the people
in the center who are in favor Of having
fire district. 1t would add greatly to
the town to have street lights and public
waterworks, not to speak of sidewalks.
But under the present conditions tax
could not be laid that would be ain any
wav fair. II a fire district is formed
those W bo are benefited by the improve
ment will have to pay the taxes and
those outside will be out of it. This
seems to be the only solution of the diff
ficulty of getting improvements.

A MISTAKE SOMEWHERE.

a mlS LANE SOh l. w hhhEs
The Washington correspondent of THE
BEE, last week, quoted a remark made
by some one who attended the entertain
ment at the hall on the Green ON Tues
day evening of last week as they came
out after the entertainment, which can
scarcely be credited. II there was one
from this place there, who did say after,
sit was almo3t as good as New Preston
can do'' it Is Edesired to know who it
was. At two or more entertainments
given here, the past winter, the people
of Washington have responded by their
presence we'll and were heartily appreci
ated therefor. When Washington was
ready to give an entertainment at their
hall and distributed notices about this
place announcing the fact, several
thought it to be a good way of showing
their appreciation of Washington's
patronage here, to attend their entertain
ment and IN the case of all whom we have
converted, those who did attend felt
fully repaid for all effort in doing so, but
not one it is believed attended that enter
tainment to criticise or compare our
selves with ourselves or cast q shade of
ridicule on the players or to conclude
how much better or worse they played
their parts than New Preston is capable
of doing, and it does seem as though
some one must have grossly misinter-
preted the motive of New Preston on
that night to attribute such remark to
any from here who was there. 1t seems
more like the Imagination Of a malicious
brain which would be more glad to have
line drawn closer betwixt the districts
voting, in paying current expenses, in
saying who shall be in authority and
direction of the towns business. Why
not be together in the way of social
pleasure, impr ovement and entertain
ment? Such remarks, when made or re-
ported only tend to discourage thoze who
would be friendly, from attempting at
tendance where they believe their motives
and presence is to be SO misconstrued
and criticised. New Preston during the
past year has had some very fine amateur
entertainments, all amateurs ex-
cept Mrs Denslow of Marketable, who
has most kindly and arduous1y directed
and trained the participants to do as we'll
as possible insome of the entertainments,
but by no means does that cast Washing
ton in the shade or cause q remark to be
made such as that attributed to New
Preston, last week. It is not for A or
B to say which did best. All did well
Tor the pleasure and benefit of those who
heard them. So let the matter remain.
Al went Washington 60 come and see
ne. All wish the privilege OF going and
seeing bow Washington does without
feeling on the part OF airy that the came
