The Pittsburg Times says that John
Shepler, farmer living in Jefferson
township, Allegheny county, Pennsyl-
vania, has horse with rather inter-
esting career. The horse is more than
thirty-seven years old, having first
seen the light of day in the stormy per-
iod of 1862, ON May 21st AT the age of
twenty-five, when the average horse is
either gathered to his ancestors, or is
pointed out as a family heirloom, this
gay stopper won race at Homewood
park, pacing against a horse owned
by John Vaughn. He made the mile in
2:30 Mr.. Shepler claims that the steed
can show three minute gait now, for
distance of quarter of a mile. The
horse is looking fat and sleek and has
been used as a family horse all his life.
He was driven from the Shepler farm
to Pittsburg, sixteen miles, and return
the same day last summer by Mrs
Shepler.

Education doesn't do everything. Ed
ward Everett Hale relates the exper-
fence of gentleman of his acquaint-
ance who has taken pleasure for many
years past in sending through the wo-
mems colleges young women selected
from the public schools by their teach
ers as being specially fit for the higher
education. This gentleman has paid
the whole expenses of these young wo-
men through their college course, at a
charge of many thousands of dollars.
This year dozen of them, more or
less, graduated at different colleges.
OF that number one wrote to him to
thank him for his generosity and to in
vite him to her commencement All
the others took their diplomas without
one word to him or any expression in
any form OF gratitude!

THE Mask STRIPPED OFF.

The debate in the British Psriia-
ment on the causes Of the Transvsai
war swept aside the pretense ths'
Great Britain had acted for the sake OF
the Uitlanders or because OF the dyna-
mite monopoly. and put the affair on
the stark basis Of Imperialism. The
leader of the opposition announced
that 'sour natural position in south
Africa has placed upon us the duty OF
seeing any impediments to u "
supremacy removed :" and Lord Sails
bury. the Premier. went so far as TO
say that i've are compelled to decide
whether the future Of South Africa
will be a growing Dutch supremacy Oh
a safe, perfectly established suprem-
acy oil the English people,"
This clears the ground Of all subter-
fuges and enables the worlds public to
see that the British deliberately drove
the Beers into a war for the sake OF
conquering their land. 1t is, as old
President Kruger said in his Scrip
tural phrase: 'The British Ahab
coveted the Naboth's vineyard OF the
Boer." All the talk about the suffrage
and the dynamite monopoly and oil
municipal reform in johannesburg
was merely so much dust-rsising to
conceal the real intent OF the Salisbury
Government. The issue is now square
ly drawn. It lies between the British
local majority Of wealth and the Dutch
local majority Of numbers for the para
mount position in South Africa.
In such a fight, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, God speed the Beers.
1t is not q contest between civilization
and savagery, but between two white
civilizations, the more respectable one
of the two being the Dutch. Moral
right is entirely on the Boer side, and
no small degree of physical might to
back il. In the fighting so far done,
the Beers have rendered an account OF
themselves, aver upon British admis-
sions, which shows that their old-time
valor has in no wise diminished. The
white flag is already flying at Colonel
Baden-P owell's stronghold of MAIZE
king. 1t may be displayed on the spires
of Kimberley before the week is out.
Alter that, who knows what may hap
pen. especially if the Continental
powers, undismayed by the calling
out of the British militia, should go
half way to meet England's nervous
apprehensions?

noon yesterday administered the oath
Of office TO Governor Pingree and the
state officers elect 4 large audience
witnessed the ceremony The inaugural
reception of Governor Pingree, the new
state officers and justices of the su-
preme court, held last night at the
capitol, was one OF the greatest social
functions ever given here. Despite
counter attractions at the hotels in the
shape of senatorial and speakership
contests fully 5000 people passed
through the line OF notables who were
assisting the governor to receive. Near
ly all the members-elect OF the legis-
lature were present, but neither of the
senatorial candidates put in an appear
ance.
The senatorial situation remains un-
changed, both the Burrows and Pack
factions claiming to be confident of
victory Treasurer Thompson, of the
national Republican congressional COM
mittee, and Warner p. Sutton, former
consul general to Mexico and recently
special commissioner To Porto Rico,
were among the arrivals here last night.
1t is said they come to do what they
can to help Senator Burrows. Last night
the Burrows men showed list of six
ty-one names signed to their call for a
joint caucus to nominate a senator to-
morrow night, with eight more names
they claim will be added.as soon as the
members arrive. This, & it is claimed,
settles the senatorial contest in favor
of Burrows, although the Pack men
say they will be able to control some of
the votes signed to the Burrows call.

Held There to Starve,
Springfield, Ills. Jan. 3.-Mrs. Lucre-
tia Kent, widow, met her death in a
manner horrible in the extreme. Her
fate was not revealed until late Sunday
night, when a friend entering the house
found her dead body. One hand was
pinioned inextricably under a heavy
folding bed. The body was badly de-
composed, showing that death had oc-
Cured several days before. A lingering
death, made terrible in circumstance by
physical and mental torture and by
bodily exhaustion, was the ill-fated wo-
mans lot.
When found the woman's broken
hand was still clasped in the bed as in
a blacksmith's wise. Her badly bruised
shoulder and back told how fearful was
the struggle to release herself from the
trap of death. The face, settled into
the repose of death. still expressed the
agony which she had endured. How the
accident happened will neversbe known
definitely. The woman livedA1one in
the house and that accounts for the
tardy discovery of the body.

HAvERHILL's SOCIALIST MAYOR.
Proposes to Use His Position for the Pro-
pagation OF His Ideas.

Haverhill. Mass, Jan. 5. John c.
Chase. elected on a Socialistic platform.
took the oath of office as mayor of
Haverhill yesterday. In his inaugural
speech Chase assured the members of
the city government and the people
that every atom of power possessed by
the mayor will be exercised in the
defense and support of the principles
of socialism insofar as they may be ap-
plicable to a municipality" He then
submitted the following specific recon-
mendations: First, the passage of an
order establishing the minimum wage
for street employees at 81 for eight hours
work. Second, union wages and condi-
tons to prevail in all brick and stone
masons' work performed under the di-
rection OF the street depagtment- Third.
all city printing to 5ear the union
label"
The mayor then took up the subject
of the unemployed and recommended:
First, that you proceed to secure a
tract OF land suitable for the raising of
food products. and that such OF the un-
employed as desire be permitted to use
said land, the city to furnish proper
seeds and tools Second, the enlarge
ment of the fuel yard at the city farm
to such proportions as will permit all
such fuel as they may require.
Third. the appropriation of such an
amount of money as circumstances may
warrant to be used in providing en-
plcyment directly upon public works
not in competition with the regular
employees of the city, but upon special
works" one of which was the con-
struction of a system of bicycle paths
through all principal thoroughfares.
MayOr Chase pOndemnad the
of contracting with the lowest bidder
for city work, and said the system
should not be tolerated. He. said: Low
bids mean cheap work Cheap work
means cheap men and low wages, and
low wages lower the standard Of citi-
zenship. The city should perform it's
own work and furnish its own material
giving employment to its citizens" The
mayor advocated increased appropria-
tions for educational purposes and
municipal ownership of the electric
lighting plants and street railways.

Lovers.
The entertainment course offered
by the young men is second to none
ever given in Rock Island. Everyone
interested in platform speaking will
hail with delight the appearance of
Talmage, Burdette or Kennan. And
music lovers are to be congratulated
more especially on their opportunity
of listening to the Fadette Woman's
orchestra, that superb organization of
artists so popular in Boston and the
east.
The Boston Herald says: The selec-
tions were played with a degree of
artistic finish and skill that was alto
gether charming, and the young ladies
have no cause to ask consideration for
their performances on account of their
sex. An especially brilliant effort
was made in the Brahms Hungarian
Fantasia in which the players gave
the composition with dash and style
that called out the most enthusiastic
applause"
