When the Next Century Begins.

Hundreds of persons contend that
the twentieth century will begin with
January l, 1900, while other hundreds
the correct date is January l, 1901, "
writes Edward Box in the October La
dies Home Journal" THE 1900 con-
tfngent argue that, of course, the new
century begins with it's numeral date,
and go on to figure out very deftly
that with the last day of the year 1893
the hundred years will have run their
course They argue that if the first
year ended with December 31st of the
year one, the nineteen hundredth year
must, of course, end with December 81,
1899, and that the LIST day of January,
1900 is therefore the first day of the
new century And, curiously enough,
this latter figure is correct, but only
in a mineral sense. These statisticians
overlook one very important fact, how
ever: that it requires one hundred
years to make a century, and it calls
for no expert mathematician to figure
it out that the full hundred years of
the nineteenth century will not have
run their course until II o'clock mid
night of the 31st of December, 1900.
Numerically, we enter the twentieth
century with January 1, 1900. But,
nevertheless, we must complete that
entire year of 1900, and go through its
365 days, before the actual nineteen
hundred years shall have run their
course"

A TREASURY RULING.
Relating to Foreign Freight Pass.
ing Through This Country.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 6.-The
Treasury Department at Washington
has just made a ruling that has caused
great perturbation in railroad circles
as the effect of the ruling will be to
deprive the transcontinental lines of a
large quantity of freight business,
which will be transferred by reason CT
the ruling to the Canadian Pacific and
the Panama route
Heretofore shipments of merchandise
made from Liverpool or other Euro
pean ports designed for the Asiatic
seaboard have been sent by steamer to
New York, thence across the continent
by rail to San Francisco, and thence
by steamer from this port to the Asia
tic port of destination. Only such
shipments come by this route as are to
fill hurry-up orders. The goods have
been allowed to pass through this
country without hindrance or added
expense. But the new ruling of the
Treasury Department requires all such
shipments to be delayed for appraise-
ment at New York or San Francisco,
and if the appraisement should be
higher than the invoice value, a duty
penalty must be paid, which will not
be refunded on expectation.

A Strategic Son.

A good story is told of young man,
who, besides being of the spendthrift
order, is mimic and can initiate his
fathers voice to a nicely. Not long
ago the young man wanted, without
delay, some money to pay bill, and
he knew that his father would treat
his request with cold contempt Wait
ing till he knew that his father would
be away he went to the telephone and
rang up the office, calling for the cash.
Ter. The cashier was forthcoming, and
when he was at the other end the
young man initiated his sire's voice.
Il say, Blank, if that scapegrace son
of mine comes around and asks for
500, don't give it to him. Only give
him $50"
The cashier promised that he would
fulfill the commands. Not long after
the son called at the office and demand
ed $500. He was refused by the con-
scientious cashier, and, apparently in
anger, the young man contented him.
self with the $50. When the old man
reached the office there was a scene

GRAND ARMY OF REPUBLIC.
Annual Encampment to Be Held at
Chicago August 28th.

CHICAGO, Dec 6.-The National
Council of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, meeting here to-day with the
local general committee. agreed on
August 2Sth to September LIST as the
date of the next annual encampment,
which will be at Chicago.
In the general discussion of the coun-
Gil it was agreed that the encampment
should be held at some time during the
public school vacation, 50 that the
public schools might be used as sleep
ing quarters for members 1t was
said by members of the committee
that there were many veterans who
might wish to attend the encampment
who could not stand the financial bur-
den of paying bills at crowded hotels.
At other encampments tents have been
used, but the committee deems it more
advisable to use the school buildings
The members of the committee called
on Mayor Harrison at the close of the
morning session. Mayor Harrison
urged that the encampment be made
non-partisan in every detail, and sug-
gested that inasmuch as President Nc
Kinley would be present, the Democrat
ic Presidential nominee be also invited.
This will be done.

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
Those Negotiated During Recess Of

The most important of these treaties
is that between the United States and

if rates. The terms of this and the
other treaties are not yet officially pub

The reciprocity treaties negotiated
with Great Britain are four in number,
for Jamaica, Guayara, Barbados and
Bermuda, the Trinidad treaty having

cessions to the colonies are on food
products, while reductions on manu-
features, flour, etc, are understood to
be the chief advantages given to the

Several families in the vicinity of Sum-
