THE OLD HYMNS.

Theirs lots o music in 'em-the hymns
of long ago,
An when some gray-haired brother
sings the ones | used to know
| sorter want to take hand!-4 think
o days gone by,
ION Jordan's stormy banns i stand
and cast wistful eye!"
There's lots o music in em-those
dear sweet hymns of old,
With visions bright of lands of light,
and shining streets of gold;
and hear 'em notwithstanding, where
Mem 'ry, dreaming, stands,
From Greenland icy Mountains to
lndia's coral strands"
They seem to sing forever of holer,
sweeter days,
When the lilies of the love of God
bluomed white in all the ways;
And | want to hear their music from
the old time meetin's rise
TIL 81 can read my title clear to man
sions in the skies"
We never needed singln' books in
them old days-we knew
The words-the tunes of every one of
the dear old hymn book through!
We didn't have no trumphets then-no
organs built for show;
We only sang to praise the Lord from
whom all blessings flow"
An, so, love the Old hymns, an when
my time shall come
Before the light has left me, and my
singin' lips are dumb,
III can, oDfy Sheat Penn then, I'll pass
without a sigh
"To Canaan's fair and happy land
whore my possessions lie!"

Blood From Leper Injected into Q
Soldiers Veins.

William Lapeer has returned here to
die of leprosy, which, it is feared, he
contracted while serving with his reg
iment in the Philippines.
Lapeer is the twenty -year-old
son of Union County farmer, and
went to Manila with one of the first
assignments of troops. While seeing
The sights soon after his arrival there
he gave -effense to a native aristocrat
whom he met in Il drinking resort
The latter's friends succeeded in sep
arating Lapeer from his friends, piled
him with drugged liquor and carried
his unconscious form TO a house in the
native quarter, where the blood from
a leper was injected into a vein in his
arm. Then he was released. When
he realized what had been done to him
Lapeer was so Mortified that he nearly
died Of nervous shock He fell into
violent fever, and had to be sent home
Local physicians do not pretend to say
what will be the result of the treat
ment to which he was subjected, as
they do not know whether leprosy
can he transmitted. In any case, they
think it will be several months before
the disease will manifest itself. The
patient would be sent to New York for
examination by experts, but is suffer-
ing from nervous prostration and is
too i'll to be moved.--Richland Is. d.

Then he took fine young hen, peel

the best things to eat which the coun-

taken to prevent its dying. Before
long even the doctor couldn't tell
where Herman left off and the chick

was necessary. Enough flesh for a

The members of the Grand Army of
the Republic who were able to attend
the meeting last evening did so, and
it was found there were nine members

ceptions. The sick comrades are

to be in the most serious condition are
Highland, who is suffering from heart
trouble, and Pierce who has the grip.

The Fight Against the Upper Ferry,

Capt. Shaw, of the lower ferry across

proposes to fight the action of the

the fight and feel confident that they
WI win out in the end. The whole
population in the upper end Of Park

show that the only opposition to the
new ferry comes from the owners of
the old ferry, who really have no

All is well and going smoothly with
the Americans at Manila, according to
the censored cable. But is the censor
ed cable to be believed? The sltua-
tion it depicts is in marked contrast
to that known to exist before the cable
censorship began. 1t is a pity the ad-
ministration at Washington cannot
trust the American people, who GER
tainly have right to know the move
ments plans and purposes of their pub
lie servants in this all-important mat
ter.-Wheeling Register.
1t may be right and proper that the
American people should know the
movements of the army and theif pub
lie servants in general, but would ii
not be manifestIy wrong and improper
for them to divulge their plans and
purposes at all times in a public made
up of so many races and classes of peo-
pie as the American public, when by
SO doing they might at any moment
be betrayed by, one of the so-called
subjects of the American government?
Why is that one or two individuals
should raise such an objection to the
action of careful man who has estab-
lished censorship over the press re-
ports sent out of a place where trouble
OF grave nature exists, or if not in
actual existence, may be brewing and
break forth at any, moment? Why
can we not trust the report, especially
when 1t says everything is going well
and smoothly?

The Supreme Court of Ohio has
handed down an opinion sustaining
the action of the lower court in saying
that the shade trees in front of a
mans property are. his property and
may not be removed without his con-
sent unless they are ahindrance totraf-
fic. This is as it should be. Hereto
fore il a telephone, telegraph, or cleo
trio light company wanted to string a
wire and tree was in the way, they
would, without asking anyone's con-
sent lop off the offending branch, or
-.hew, down the tree. Under the pres
ient ruling they will have to be more
careful and it will no doubt add great
ly to the appearance of some of the
streets in the suburban towns of this
state as we'll as in all of the smaller
towns of the state. There are seldom
too many trees in a. town for the com
fort and welfare of the residents, and
where there are any, they should be
fostered and not offered up as a sacri-
fee to the all pervading desire of cor
porations for money.

Two Views of the War.

Commander John D. Ford, who was fleet
engineer of Admiral Dewey's feet at
Manila, returned last week to his home at
Baltimore. He plainly states the real
situation of the American forces in the
Philippines. He says that when be left
Manila on May the Americans held not
quite as much ground as they did during
the first part of August last year, and their
lines were restricted to the suburbs of
Manila.
He also says: AS it is now, it is all we
can do to hold our own. The insurgents
are constantly encroaching and though
raids are made, the natives driven back
and the line thrown out, we can't hold the
ground because we have not enough men.
OF the Filipinos as men and soldiers
Commander Ford says: The Fllipinos
pictured in the sensational papers are
not the men we are fighting; they are
entirely distinct and separate The fell
lows we deal with out there are not ignor-
ant savages fighting with bows and arrows,
but an intelligent, liberal, loving people,
full of courage and determination. The
idea that the Filipino is an unciviIized
being is mistaken one. They have the
intellect and stamina to govern them
selves.
AS for their condition now, as far as
| can see, they are stronger, more deter
mined and more skillful in the art of war
than when the fighting out there started
and they increase in strength and knowI-
edge, having nine or eleven million OF
people to draw from They are armed
with Mausers, the best rife in the world,
and are far better marksmen than the
Spaniards. At first they shot high and
missed, but now they have caught on, and
aim low with deadly effect"
Brigadier- General Charles King, who
returned from the Philippines short time
ago, in a letter to the Milwaukee journal
published last Sunday, states that the
capability of the Filipinos for self govern
ment cannot be doubted, and if given a
fair start, they could look out for them
selves infinitely better than our people
imagine.
He says they rank far higher than the
Cubans or the uneducated negroes to whom
The United States has given the right of
suffrage.

After acknowledging that prosperity is
not as great as he at first believed it to be,
Mr. PieTson derives SO me satisfaction from
the fact that: "At the corner Of Broad and
Delaware streets, in Wood bury, the county
owns in its corporate right, a splendid prop
erty, on which stands magnificent Court
House, and substantial Sheriff residence
and Jail, which could not be duplicated for
twice the amount of all the county &
bonded and floating indebtedness Every
dollar of the cost of this valuable property
has been paid in full"
What that splendid property" has to
do with increased values in Gloucester
county, Mr.. Pierson does not venture to
tell, because it has no relation to the county
wealth. The money 10 place those build
ings there was brought here in a bunch
twelve years ago, and has at last all gone
back, with interest.
The money of the people has simply
been taken and placed at the corner Of
Broad and Delaware streets, it is of no
greater value as county asset, where it is,
than it was before it was planted there.
Ia connection with this subject of values
we will quote from a pamphlet published
by the State, entitled AN abstract of the
Ratables of the State of New jersey for the
year 1868"

AZ evsrnment that condones
Crime

Captain Oberlin NJ Carter, of the U. s.
Engineer Corps, was in February, 1897.
found guilty of stealing (for himself and a
ring some three million dollars of Govern
ment money while in charge of some works.
The crime was so flgrant and deliberate,
and the proofs SO plain, that the court mar
tial of army officers Though some of them
were his personal friends) found him guilty
and sentenced him TO disgraceful dismissal,
heavy money restitution as be is very
rich, and six years imprisonment.
The conviction was found and penalty
imposed more than two years ago Just at
the time Mr. Mckinley entered on the
Presidency yet the convicted crimi-
nal is still in the full enjoyment of the
hOnors and large salary of his Government
commission, and there is no present pros
pect that the President will take any action
in the matter until be and his advisers
deem it safe to pardon their Influential
friend, the criminal. We notice that
recently Senators SeweIl and Tom Platt
were in Washington working for a free
clearance for Carter Another week it is
some other delegation Of eminent Republi-
cans, who thus give the President and HE
