VETERANS, ENCAMPMExT.

1t was a big time that the veterans Of
the Juniata Valley Veteran Association
had at their fourth annual encamp-
ment ut MiffiintOwn last week, from
the IIth to the 14th inclusive. The
camp was well chosen on the Schweier
farm adjoining town, on limestone
synclinal back that slopes north and
south and points toward the west.
Squire Wilson, Henry Hawk, III. H.
Snyder, John Pannebaker, VIM. Rod
gers, Harry Moore and Others, were
dilgent i'm getting things in shape for
the occasion and when they were
through the grounds were dotted with
1l0 large tents. The streets of the
camp had hydrants, a turn of the
spigot of which brought out the purest
of water, piped four and half miles
from Shade mountain. The camp was
lit with electric light. Such camp
was treat to look at and sojourn in,
and it was appreciated. The first or
ganiZation of veterans came from Mid
dleburg, Snyder county. The Mifllin-
town drum corps escorted them from
the railroad to the camp where salute
was fired in honor of their arrival.
The Snyder county veterans were
noted for their soldierly qualities when
in the service against rebellion, and
their march on Tuesday showed thai
they had not lost the military step ac.
quired generation ago. From that
time on veterans arrived from all part.
of the district, ''by ones and twos. ,
The electric lights had just blinked out
in brilliant flash, and the Merry &C
Round had just started one of its thre<
tunes, and every one on the ground
had just begun TO feel as if a pleasant
evening outside Of tents was to be had
when rain began to fall. Every one
ran for shelter. Rain kept falling til
every one got to bed and between thai
time and Wednesday morning the
weather cleared and

Democratic orators and writer's
are comparing the expenses OF the
affairs of the State OF some years
ago, with the expenses of recent
years, and then hold up their hands
in aStoniShment. OF course they
are astonished, but they have
looked on one side Of the house,
and are like the man who was
shown a house that was entered
from two different streets. ..That's S
a nice frame house." he said when
looking at the building from that
street. Then he was taken blind
folded to the other street and stop
ped in front of the house he bad
looked AT on the other street. Tie
bandage was taken from his eyes,
he looked at the house and said,
s'that is nice brick house. That
is the way with the democrats
when they look at the past and say,
the government was run for 81
much, they look at it now and say
the government is run for so much
what a difference in the price.
Yes fellow democrat there is u diff
ference. Look back and see the
first Court house erected by your
fathers in Juniata county for only
four thousand dollars, and then
look at yourselves erecting "a Court
House for sixty thousand dollars.
That is the difference in living III
the twoditierent times. ThecOuntry
has grown eXtravagant, everyone
has become eXtravagant, democrat
and republican, and what they got
along with in the past they do not
want to get along with i'll the pres
ent, and here yOu are abusing the
republicans for the things you are
doing yourselves, in all private and
public affairs. The fathers used
to run their farms with few farm
ing implements, now some of the
farms are 50 st Jcked with all kinds
OF implements that the machinery
is worth as much as the farm. Why
don't YOU blame that on the repub-
licanS. The fathers used TO SOW
flax and with their wool was spun in
to thread and yarn by their wives
and daughters and female help in
the house, and the thread and yarn
was woven by the home weave into
fabrics for clothing for the family,
now the clothing is all bought ready
made. Why don't they blame
that difference in the expenses fol
clothes on the republican party
So the matter of extravaganza o
living runs through every depart
ment of life of the people, and thu
man who takes to talking to tn,
people on such matters and tries t.
twist it to make them believe tn
republican party is responsible TO
the eNtrayagant times, should &C
quaint himself with the facts of TIL
every day life of The people so tina
he can handle his subject intelli
gently and in accordance with tn
facts in the case. Vote the repul

everybody that was not of the New England states called the New Eng flanders Yankees, and during the civil war everybody north of the Mason and Dixon line was called Yankee
 As to the word Lieutenant Auburey wrote in 1777: "The lower class of these Yankees-apropos it may not be amss here just to observe to you the etymology of this term is derived from a Cherokee word, EanSke which signi- fies coward and slave, This epithet of Yankee was bestowed upon the inhabi- tants of New England by the Virgini- ans, for not assisting them in war with the Cherokees, and they have al ways been in derislon by it. But the name has been more prevalent since the beginning of hostilities; the soldiers at Boston used it as a term of reproach; but after the affair at Bunker Hill the Americans gloried in it, Yankee Doo- dle' is now their paean favorite of favorites, played In their army, es- teemed as warlike as the 'Grenadier's s March,. It is the looms spell, the nurses lullaby.
 After our rapid successes we held the Yankee in great contempt; but it was not little mortifying hear them play this tune when their army marched down to our surrender"
 Such is the history of the etymology of the word Yankee. ."-Charlotte Ob- server

DEATH OF JUDGE s. 4. YORK Occurred Saturday Night After a Shor,
 Illness

The death of ex-Judge Samuel A. York, one of New Haven's most promi- nent citizens, occurred Saturday night at his residence, 139 Edwards street, the cause being exhaustion, incident to hemorrhage of the stomach. He was taken suddenly i'll last Thursday morn ing and from the first attack it was realized that there was small hope of his recovery. On Thursday evening a second hemorrhage occurred, and af- ter that Judge York sank rapidly until the end. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the family residence on Ed wards street.
 Judge York was born in North Ston- ington, Conn.,. in 1889, and prepared for college at the Suffield academy. He entered Yale in 1859 and graduated from the academic department with honors in the class of 1863. In the same class were ex-Secretary of War Will liam c. Whitney, Prof. William G. Sumner, Henry B. Payne of the Stan dard Oil company, Rev. Leander T. Chamberlain, Samuel Cooper, cousin of J. Fennimore Cooper; George w. Os- born and Julius Twiss. After his grad uation MT. York accepted the position in the quartermaster's department in the army and went to Chattanooga, the headquarters of the army at that time.
 He left the army just before the close of the war and entered the Albany (N Y.) law school. After the completion of the course there he engaged for some years in the practice of law in Kalamazoo, Mich., and it was while To- cated there that he married Miss Helen Osborn, daughter of the late Minott A. Osborn Soon after this MT. York re- turned to New Haven and became an editorial writer for the Register. In 1873 he was clerk of the general assem- bly and at the next session of the legis- lature was clerk of the state senate. In 1875 he formed law partnership with William c. Case, and in 1876 was elect ed judge of probate, a position which he filled for ten and one-half years, un- til January 1, 1887. His partnership with MT. Case wax dissolved h April, 1876. In 1886 he was elected nSayor on the democratic ticket and served two terms.

SOME FACTS ABOUT CHINA
BISHOP GRAVES OF SHANGHAI ASKS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Has the U. S. No Interest in the Tragedy
 That Is Being Enacted in the Division
 of the Empire re--Anticipated Results of
 Russian and French Control of the
 COuntry--W What Keeps China Backs
 The Berkeley association of Yale was addressed at the Trinity Episcopal church last evening by the Rt. Rev. F. R. Graves, bishop of Shanghai, China, on the work and opportunities in that country for university men. His treat ment of his subject was especially in- teresting and timely, now when all eyes are turned toward the kingdom of the Celestials. He said at the outset that we know that when Russians in the north and the French in the south part of China shall have gained control of those portions of the empire our books, our newspapers, our teachers, our missionaries and our merchants will be barred out. In regard to these things what are we to say to the inter- ests of humanity? Can the United States see the great tragedy consum- mated with the idea that we have no interest at stake in China?
 He said that China had riches and men and the men are of intelligent bent, but is helpless to prevent the di- vision of her empire and can raise an army of but handful of men to defend 1t. One of the causes of this is the ut ter stagnation of the country which keeps the people in ignorance and dark ness, and allows corruption and injus tice to flourish In the largest degree. There is no such thing as freedom of conscience, or of commerce and educa- ton and development. All have been crushed out by the ruling class by force and injustice and torture in ju dicial examinations. Another reason for the condition of the country is the demoralizing and decayed religious systems of the people which have be- come so bad that the educated classes refuse to accept them. Then China has turned back on great opportunities when she refused to accept Christianity on the several occasions it was present. ed to her, although there were many Christian Chinamen at all those times But China obstinately turned it's back and sunk lower and lower in it's sin.
 China has great interest for the anti quarian for it is the most ancient of nations. It also has a large and on the whole very creditable literature of it's own. It has able students, too, who are very critical, although the line of their research is very limited. Her industrial classes are very industrious and patient and conservative. China has merchants who are very rich and who deal with the traders of England and America on more than equal terms and they bear high reputation for hon. esty. He urged, in closing, the young men to consider China as possible field for their life work and especially as missionaries.
 Bishop Graves also preached at Trin- ity church in the morning on China" in very interesting manner.

 Historical Question.

An Interesting Contribution to This
 Historical Question.
 Major w. A. Guthrie, of Durham, in addit ion to being an able lawyer, an astute politician and an admirable gen. tleman otherwise. is fond of literature of the best class. He likes to search through rare books and papers. Some years ago at the sale of the effects of some aged citizen he bought two rusty- looking volumes for mere trifle, along with other books. On examining the books he found them to be Travels Through the Interior Parts of America, in a Series of Lectures by an Officer of the British Army" They are the let ters of Lieutenant Thomas Aubrey. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Saratoga during the Revolutionary war From there he was sent as a prisoner to Boston, and later was farched with many other prisoners of the British army, who had been cap- tured at various places, to Charlottes- Virginia. and a member of the Conti- mental congress, had rendered his plan- tation and negro quarters to the con- gress for a prison camp. From this plantation Auburey wrote many of his letters. All the prisoners were paroled. This officer spent his time in riding about the country around Charlottes- vile. The letters were to 9 friend of his in England. Later the letters were published in two volumes and were dedicated to the Earl of Harrington, Viscount Retersham and colonel of the Twenty-ninth regiment of foot They begin August 8, 1776, and run to Octo- ber 30, 17S1.
 The letters are full of interesting and instructive reading. In volume IT., page 46, written from Cambridge, New England, November 20, TIT, is a history of the word Yankee.
 Before the Revolutionary war the Virginians called the New Englanders Yankees; from then to the civil war
