FOR PEACE.
Bourke Cochran Suggests Mediation
in the Transvaal Difficulty.

NEW YORK, September 13.-Ex-
Congressman w. Bourke Cochran has
written an open letter to President
Mckinley about the transvaal. The
letter in part is as follows: 1t can
hardly be questioned that proffer OF
friendly mediation by you would sui
flee to delay if not prevent the threat
ened invasion of the transvaal.
"A recourse to arms which might
result in kindling fearfully destruc-
tive confagration throughout Christ
endom on such questions as those at
issue between Great Britain and the
Boer republic would be an injury to
civilized society," which all the forces OF
civilization should combine to resist.
A friendly but urgent. tender OF
your good Offices would undoubtedly
evoke a full and complete statement
of the grounds on which the peace and
integrity of the Transvaal are threat
.ened. Such statement would be
powerful obstacle to hostilities for it
would enable the civilized world to
form a judgment on the merits OF the
controversy, and in all probability that
Judgment would impose itself on both
disputants. Public opinion is force
which in these days no nation can dis
regard"

A PATRIOTIC SPECTACLE.

Conterno's patriotic military spec
tacle, to be given at Mozart
Park, Saturday and Sunday, September
% and "a, called Battles of Our Ma
tion," is replete with stirring events
in American history, from the founding
of the nation to the ending of the
Spanish war and the present troubles
in the Philippines. The portrayal of
Dewey's victory, the charge up San
Juan hill, the humiliation Of Ger
veras fleet, the Spirit of '76, the birth
of the American flag, and scenes in the
Philippines, are all of great interest.
Many speciality acts are interspersed
through the performance, and give it
fire and life, several short ballets are
shown, and the singing by the chorus
cannot be better. AS Conterno's band
is one of the best features, rare treat
awaits all lovers of good music.

Interests and characteristics of the Man.
He Made a Fortune Out of a Graveyard.
There is great satisfaction in Wash
ington over the success of John II. NC
Lean before the Ohio Democratic con-
vention, says a correspondent IN tne
Philadelphia Ledger. Washington mas
been Mr.. McLean's home for 10 years,
and he is identified with some OF the
largest business enterprises OF the city.
He is president of the local gas COM
pany, large stakeholder in the Capital
Traction Company, owns one OF the
largest and best hotels in Washington
and is classed as one of the largest
taxpayers of the city. He is probably
the only public man who has made
fortune out of a graveyard. Ten years
ago he bought, at very low price, the
old EIolmead cemetery, in the fasnlon-
able northwest part of Washington, ana
has since, after removing the dead and
grading and sodding the land, been
selling it off in lots at several hundred
per cent. profit. He is popular man
with all classes, for he is at all times
approachable by everybody, and Is
quite as likely as not to make a rich
man wait while he talks to a poor ne
gro laborer or washerwoman in quest
of charity. He is a liberal liver and
giver, has large, old-fashiened man
sion down town and a fine country
place out in the region of Rock Creek.
OF late years Mr.. Mclean has had his
attention much occupied with govt, and
last winter he took a new malady in
the form of what was pronounced par
alysis of the diaphragm While 1t costs
him, doubtless, not less than 100000
a year for his household and family
expenses, he says that his own living
expenses does not exceed $50 year.
for he can eat but three or four things,
and lives chiefly on mush and milk,
which, being of Ohio birth. he likes
well All his life he has been what pol
iticians call good mixer" While
police reporter on the Cincinnati En-
quirer, he became very popular with
the firemen and the police of that city.
AS a result he has for 20 years been
an honorary member of the Cincinnati
fire deDartment He owns the most
singular collection any faddist ever got
together in the shape of a private
rogues' gallery, which the police have
steadily for many years assisted him
TO collect. 1t is said to be the largest
collection of the kind owned by prl-
vate Individual Mr.. Mclean is most
domestic in his tastes, and IS the IN
separable companion of his charming
wife and bright young son. The latter
has a famously handsome four-in-hand
of Shetlanids, which he shares with ev-
cry child in the block where the Nc
Leans live. Mr.. Mclean has an i'm
portant collection OF paintings, and is
a well read man in art and literature.
He keeps a sharp business eye on the
charities of Washington and Cincin-
natl and annually gives many thou
sands quietly for this purpose.

WASHINGTON. September 13.-Informa-
ton reaching officials here is that the
Venezuela court of arbitration, now sitting
at Paris, will conclude its work and render
a finel decision about the first of the COM
ing month. This is due to the desire of
Chief Justice Fuller, one of the arbitrators,
to return to Washington in time for the
opening of the Supreme Court on October
10. Mr.. Harrison has announced to his coll
leagues that he will make only a brief
speech, and this has permitted an under
standing TO close the work about the first
of the month, and to render a verdict on
this important international question be-
fore the arbitrators separate.

Large Increase in Clip Expcctc
Next season in Hills.
Hot Springs, S. D., Nov. s.-The flu
ture of Edgemont, in this county as a
sheep center is practically assured
since the movement to procure the old
wooden mill at Edgmont warehouse
has been almost consummated. There
were sheared in the vicinity of Edge
mont last spring GOA, 900 pounds of
wool, all of which was shipped from.
Edgemont. All indications point to a
much larger clip next spring on ac-
count of natural increase of sheep and
new purchases. The lamb crop which
will contribute to next Springs clip is
conseryatively estimated Mt DO per
cent of the total number of wool sheep
this year. In addition to this increase,
the following purchases which have
BEEF recently made will indicate the
great growth in the herds surround
ing Edgemont: Ii. j.. Reed has in
creased his stock of 10000 for last
spring SO that next spring he will
shear, without the new lambs, nearly
10000 head; John Cans, at Marietta,
sheared last spring 5000 sheep, and
this spring he expects the number will
reach $4,000; d. w. Webster has pur-
chased and shipped in 1900 head; w.
i. Harmon 1000; o. L. Shay, HOO;
John Barber and associates, 1000;
McCoubrey Bros, 1000; H. C. Croft
ford, 500; Harmon Bros, 500; Louis
Harmon, 1,70o; and Snively & Co. will
have their flock. numbering 5000, in
the vicinity next year. Counting
six pounds of wool per head, the in
crease of wool next spring from the
new sheep will be 2,40O pounds;
counting the lamb clip at 40 per cent,
the increase from this source will be
PIT, 500 pounds, or a total increase
over last year of $4,000 pounds. The
total estimate of next springs clip at
1,274,000 pounds is not thought to be
too high.
