A GERMAN MASON'S WINDFALL.
Receives $15,O0O From Anonymous
 Sender.

Berlin, Dec. 16.-A master mason named Jacob, living at the town of Bentschen, recently received an envel- ope from the United States containing a draft fof SCOTS marks, with nothing to show who the sender was. Jacobs parner disappeared with 12,000 marks belonging to him in 1869; all effort to trace him was frui.lees, but Jacob tray eled with some Americans while ago, and in course of conversation mention ed his loss and the delinquents name. One of the Americans mentioned that he knew a Chicago mulu-n1illionaire of that name.
 Jacob thinks that his fellow traveler on returning reminded the Chicago man or the 12,000 marks, and that the 60, ,07S draft represents the 'borroWed' sum with interest.

GERMANY AND OUR MEATS.
The Food Inspection bill, as Drafted,
 Not Satisfactory to the Agrarians.

Berlin, Dec. 16-The meat inspection bill will come before the reichstag at this session, but it has not been finally drawn. The first draft was made in last February, but the federal govern ments rejected it as too drastic. A sec ond draft, which was made in June, was sent to the chambers of commerce and discussed conf1dentially, and proved unsuitable. The bill now in course of preparation has only slight resemblance to the original Its essen tial feature is the submission of all food products whether home or inn ported to government inspection The AgrarianS do not approve of this, be- cause it does not discriminate against the United States. 1ne government is waiting to see the Agrarian strength before it will modify the bill.
 The stand taken by ihe American embassy is that our meat is good enough to welcome examination, so long as it is not merely vexatious. A lGauIng Agrarian organ comedies that in eastern Germany American hams and bacon are fetching the same price that foreign hog products command. Owing to the laxity of inspection on the French and Belgian frontiers, Ameri- can meat is sometimes introduced which would not be recognized as wholesome by the United States gov ernment inspectors.

GOVERNMENT FOR OUR ISLANDS.
Representative Tayler Thinks Congress
 Should Legislate Cautiously.

Washington, Dec. 16.-"I hope there will be no precipitate legislation about our colonies,' said Representative Rob- ert w. Tayler of the Eighteenth Ohio
 district yesterday. Mir. Tayler repre- sents practically the same district that Major Mckinley used to represent in congress. He is chairman of elections committee No. 1, and was eleo,ed in November for a third term. 'I am by no means an ardent eXpansionist," con- tinued MT Tayler although I agree with the statement attributed 10 Judge Day that we lost the opportunity of giving up the Philippines when Ad- miral Dewey failed to sail away from Manila bay It seems to me that we should proceed with great caution. Nothing can be lost by continuing the military government in al our conquer ed islands for a year or so. Most of us have some notions about the gov ernment of these islands, but lime will give us all much better ideas of what will he be-Ss- in governing these new de- pendencies."
 Representativ Tayler managed the contested election cases before his com- mittee 1ast year, both with dispatch and rare discretion, attracting the fla vorable attention of both sides of the house. Out of seven contests, only one was reported favorably, and the house agreed with the committee report by good majority. As for the contests that are promised from North Carolina MT. Tayler says he has as yet given them but little consideration, and does not feel that he ought to make any comment on them.

lnIsly recurring small wars. The risk tried from GA deaths in 1000 in South Africa in 1879 to 1 in 10000 in Egypt in 1885. The average mortality during the period extending from 1879 to 1885 was 15 in 1000. AS regards the risk in national wars, the companies as sume that 20 per centum of the British army in active service die of wounds or hardships.

Benson's Car Line.
| Twenty members of 'the Odd Fel'
ows and Rebekah Lodges Of Weston
visited South Londonderry Monday
evening, the men attending the regu.
lar meeting of West River Lodge
and the ladies visiting with Rev. aud
Mrs. w. A. Evans, Both visitors
land the visited made the best Of the
occasion and enjoyed it hugely. At
the Lodge room the visitors were
called out and some happy speeches
we're made. At Mr.. Evans the
ladies made no speeches and, Of
course, did not talk any but, never
theless, they made it pleasant for all
concerned. The party brought lunch
with them and with the aid Of Mrs.
Evans, who was unremitting in her
attentions to her guests, a nice spread
was laid ready for the male portion
Of company when Lodge was out.
The visit with Mr.. and Mrs. Evans
was much enjoyed on both sides from
the fact that all were acquainted and
all were members of the same frater-
nity and many of them members of
Mr.. Evans congregation while he
was stationed at Weston. 1t was
not until midnight that the party got
uuder way for home.
This visit, besides being pleasant
n all ways, solved the problem of
comfortable winter travel, thanks TO
L. E. Benson, sole inventor and pat.
entee, without rails or electric motors.
Mr.. Benson constructed a car SKIS
and placed it on a two horse sled,
1t was then carpeted and a stove set
up In this, with seats arranged on
each side, ten OF the party came down
as comfortable as bug in rug.
Altogether it was a unique affair as
well as promoter of comfort and
emphasized the fact that yankee
pluck and skill can do for our mount
ain roads what the electrics do for
more favored localities.
