nrs. J. n. Campbell.

M. Lille Stevenson, wife of j.
M. Campbell, of Port Deposit, died
in Baltimore Sept. IL, at noon,
where she had gone for special
treatment about three weeks or so
ago. Her death was caused by
bronchial tuberculosis and although
she had been very frail for quite
awhile, her decease was not looked
for so soon.
Mrs. Campbell was born in Dun
cannon, Pa, and was in her 42nd
year. Her first home after mar
riage was in Rising Sun, where she
lived for four years, moving thence
to Oxford for two years, then to
Barnsley four years and last spring
to Port Deposit.
She leaves q husband and four
children to mourn her loss, two
boys and two girls, the youngest
being three and half years old.
The Oldest daughter, Florence, died
last winter during the great biz.
card and this perhaps FASTENED the
mother, as she was not in good
health at the time.
The deceased was member of
Tome M. q. church of Port Deposit.
Her funeral was held on Thursday,
services and interment at Hopewell.

Runaway at Camp.

While driving to the colored
camp north of town last Sunday
evening, Robt. Henderson, colored,
and three dusky damsels exper-
perienced a runaway. One of the
girls jumped from the carriage and
struck her head against the bridge
abutment at Hunters mill, and
received a severe cut. Another
made a flying leap a little further
on and skinned her arm. The third
girl and the driver remained in the
carriage until the team was stop
ped at the camp ground and es-
capped injury. Henderson then
turned the horses in the road and
started back to gather up his load
The animals again became unman-
agable and he turned them into the
hedge fence where they stuck until
taken out by parties who were
going to camp atoot.

We have received a copy of the
Elkton fair catalogue, which is a
neatly printed pamphlet gotten out
by the Appeal office.
The attention of exhibitors is
called to the fact that there is no
entrance fee in any department, ex-
cept the payment of $3.50 for a
male exhibitor and 81 for female
exhibitor, this emitting to ticket
for the four days and to enter as
many articles or animals as desired,
as this applies to livestock as we'll
as to all other departments. To
stockholders there is no charge
whatever to exhibit.
Manager Wilson L. Coudon is
completing arrangements for the
athletic contests, which should sur
pass in interest any ever held in
the county. The entries are very
gratifying. A novel feature in
connection with the sports will be
fencing exhibition by skilled
swordsmen. There will also be a
wrestling match by two skilled
competitors. All entries to the
local contests should be addressed
to Wilson l.. Coudon, Perryville.
One of the most interesting ex-
hibitions prepared for the enter.
tainment of the visitors at the
fair which will be held the first
week in October, will be the tour
nament, when the descendants of
the Knight of La Maucha will ap-
pear in the arenarichly caparisoned,
with lances couched to contest for
the honor of browning the queen of
youth and beauty. The contest
will not be so tragic as that of
Ashley de- la-Zouche where the
"Disinherited" Knight so signally
defeated Bots Guilbert, but no
doubt it will be a glorious tourna-
ment.

Beers and Britishers Near to War


The prevalent opinion in England is
that President Kruger is playing
great game of bluff at Pretoria. He
held long session with the secretary
of state and the Encouragement at
the telegraph office on the 14th. He
was apparently communicating with
the Orange Free State. Orders have
been issued to the field comets to sup
ply all unarmed burghers with Mauser
rifles free of charge. The British gov
eminent, on it's side, is making counter
preparations. Quantities of war stores
have been forwarded To Bechuanaland,
and the North Lancashire regiment is
under orders to proceed there at a mo-
ments notice. Since it is expected the
Beers would make dash for Kimber-
ley in order to cut off the Cape from
Rhodesia, the British are preparing TO
guard the railway bridge across the
Vaal river at Fourteen Streams, where
the Beers have field battery.
Later-The Transvaal situation is
unchanged. Great Britian's demand
for joint inquiry as to the effect up
on the Uitlanders of the proposed
franchise reform measures, makes mat
ters look more serious, and the British
war Office has completed arrangements
for an emergency force of 10000 men
to be ready TO leave for South Africa
within week.

On the 10th Mr. and Mrs. George
Copeland, who live four miles from
Minden City, were arrested and lodged
in Jail at Sanilac Center on the charge
of i'll treating their s-year-old daugh-
ter. Before making the arrests the
officers discovered that the child had
repeatedly been tied up in an clubhouse
and left there for several days and
nights; also that the little girl had
been tied up and left in the cellar for
FIVE DAYS. The child showed marks of
ill-usage, and told very pitiful story.
When questioned as to the cause of her
ill-treatment, the little one said that
her mother told her that she was very
wicked and possessed of the devil and
must be punished.

That TransvaaI Trouble.

The Transvaal government, it is re-
ported at Cape Town, has handed its
reply to the British agent at Pretoria,
to be forwarded to Sir Alfred Miner,
British high commissioner for South
Africa and governor of Cape Colony.
Conflicting accounts are given as to its
contents, and it is possible that the
report is premature and that the reply
will be delayed, owing TO the trouble
with Portugal about the transport of
ammunition, consigned to the Trans
vaal, now in Delagoa bay. Strong
feeling has been aroused by the fact
that the Transvaal is sending large
quantities of war material for distribu-
ton among its supporters in Cape
Colony and the Orange Free State.
Over seven tons have been landed at
Port Elizabeth on A!goa bay and sent
over Cape railway lines to Allwal for

Eliza Day, colored, aged 60, a patient
at the Columbus state hospital, who
was received from Marion, o., 10 years

An autopsy revealed in her stomach
the handles of five silver spoons and SO
cambria needles, and in the bowels
nearly so more needles. About a year
ago the woman told an attendant she
had swallowed several spoons, but an
examination failed to disclose the
presence of any foreign substance in
her stomach, and the woman pever APP
peared to suffer any pain. The bowls
of the spoons are supposed to have
been corroded by the acids of the
stomach

Germany claims that militarism is
benefcent, inasmuch as the raw re-
cruit is, in his years of service in a
standing army, educated, disciplined
and then returned to society and to in
dustry far more intelligent and eff
fective person than he was before, or
could have made himself. This, to
some degree, is true. The standard of
manhood ought to be raised and is
raised by the military system; but sup
pose the government gave all men a
training simply for industrial purposes
and put them into trade schools instead
of camps? A similar but far higher
end would be attained, in such a pro-
ductive potentiality as has never yet
been realized; and it seems as legiti-
mate to train men for national prosper
ity as for national defense.
