Long Branch, N. j., Aug. 26.-Presi-
dent Mckinley left for Pittsburg on
a special train this morning and ex-
poets to reach that place at $50 to-
night. From the Smoky City the pres
ident will go to East Liverpool, Ohio
for short stay, as the guests of Col
John N. Taylor. Two days will be spent
at Canton and then he will return to
Washington. The presidents public
announcement Of his alleged policy in
the Philippines at the Ocean Grove
campmeeting yesterday afternoon was
a surprise. He said, peace first, then
with charity for all, establish a gov
ernment of law and order, protecting
life and property, and occupation for
the we'll being of the people, a govern
ment in which the people shall partici-
pate under the stars and stripes"
When the tumult of applause stopped,
the president said, Now, 1 have said
more than intended to say"
But people who have dissected it find
that the president did not say anything
new after all. His policy, according to
his statement, is to lick the Filipinos
into submission and then establish a
government for them, under the stars
and stripes, and in which government
they shall participate, probably by pay
ing the taxes to keep a large army in
readiness to "benevolently assimilate"
them some more if they are not good.
The president, in his speech, said moth
ing about freedom for the Filipinos.

A MISERLY COUNTESS.
One of Roumanin's Old Nobility Who
Though Immensely Rich Lived
i'm Squalor.

The Bucharest correspondent Of the
London Daily Mail says that a most
extraordinary character lately died in
Jassey, namely, Countess Balsch, one of
the last of the old Roumanian nobility,
all titles, except some few compli-
mentary ones, having been abolished
since the declaration of independence
after the Russo-Turkish war.
The old countess, although extreme
ly rich, was an inveterate miser, and
hardly spent a penny, except in de-
Tending a lawsuit which her only
daughter, widow and an extreme in
valid, who had incurred the countess
displeasure by marrying without her
consent, had started against her, claim
ing but 300 francs monthly to live on.
On this she spent thousands until the
death of her unhappy daughter at a
hospital in Paris brought the case TO a
close.
When the authorities entered the
dead countess dwelling to take posses
sion of her property, they discovered,
secreted in numberless impossible
places, no less than 100000 francs. a
quarter Of million being in Napoleons
and ducats. While making a final in
ventory, they found, hid in bundle of
old moth-eaten curtains, box contain
ing another 10000 francs, so that the
entire amount left by-this extraordi-
nary woman amounts 10 1,650,O00
francs.
Numberless little cheap note books
were also found, in which the eccentric
being had noted down every half-penny
spent. Some books devoted to her law
expenses were headed: Cost of proc
ess against that beastly and poisonous
serpent, my daughter"

ROMAN AOUEDUCTS.
They Were BUILT Because There Were
No Suitable Pipes to
lie Had.

People forgetful of the real status of
mechanical economy in the time of the
Romans have often expressed wonder
that they built expensive aqueducts
when, it is proved, they knew the by.
drostatic principle that water rises al
ways TO its own level.
The principal reason undoubtedly
was that they had no suitable material
to make pipes which would stand the
enormous pressure insepaIable from an
underground system. Lead was out of
question for thepurpose because the
pipes would have to be made so dispor-
portionately thick, and, be sides, water
flowing for miles through lead would
be poisonous. Short lead and clay
pipes were used by them IN their cities
and houses for the supply of baths, but
without cast iron, which they did not
possess, they could not have made
pipes to carry water long distances,
Lastly, the water brought to Rome was
strongly impregnated with lime, and
this would have caused great incrusta-
tion in pipes and necessitsted frequen,
openings and cleaning, whereas an
aqueduct, once built, would, as events
have proved, last for a very long time
with a very moderate amount Of re-
pairs,

ing the past week. In the first one, the
people VS. Ed. Ostrander, the respondent

son of Warren Pratt, at South Haven, on
the 11th day of March last. Pratt, an
old man of seventy years, living in Gene
va, went to South Haven, got drunk, laid
down in an alley, in the night during a
snow storm and quietly went to sleep
While he was thus enjoying himself,
somebody, he charges that it was
Ostrander, went through him. He finally
woke up, nearly frozen, set up yell and
some good Samaritan took him to an
Inn and cared for him. Justice Chase
of Bangor held the respondent in the
sum of $500 bail in default of which he
was committed, but, not liking Chap
pell's boarding house, subsequently pro-
cured the requisite bonds and is now
at large.
The second case, the people VS.. Mary
Neale is that of the Surdam robbery,
report of which was recently given in
this paper.
In the last case, that of the people VS..
Walter Hodgkins, the respondent is
charged with having, on the 2Sth day of

ial therefrom. The respondent was eX-
amined before Justice Wallengford of

sum of $780, He gave bonds for his ap-
pearance.

Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The
same calendars can be used every 20
years. October always begins on the
same day of the week as January, April

rusry, March and November begin on
the same days. May, June and August

APpETIzING sAUERKRAUT.
Ii Was Given TO u sick Cow I'm Penn
syIvania and with Good
Results.


A reporter who spent Christmas
among the Pennsylvania Germans Of
Lancaster county discovered what will
probably be TO most people a distinc-
lively new use for sauerkraut, native
production of old Lancaster and a
staple article of food, says the Pitts
burgh Times. He had called to see an
old friend who keeps dairy and foun
the dairyman in the act OF taking great
punches of succulent cabbage from a
barrel In the cellar. The odor prevaded
the neighborhood and made glad the
nostrils of every true and loyal Penn
sylvania 'Dutchman" within distance
of about half mile.
The reporter was astonished when
the dairyman picked up bucketful of
sauerkrant and carried l. to his cow
stables. The second animal in the long
row of stalls was a big, strong-horned
cow. Her head was hang ug low under
the manger, although there was plen-
tiful supply of hay in the rack above.
Her ears had detected Groop and her
eyes were half closed. She was evident
ly very sick COW at time when She
should have been in good spirits, for
among the Pennsylvania Germans it Is
still popular belief that on Christmas
eve the cows in their stalls may be
heard TO talk to each other of the great
event the day commentaries.
The bucketful of sauerkraut was
dumped into the manger. The COW. by
some peculiar system of feeding, first
gave evidence of her appreciation by
slowly switching her tail, which had be-
fore hung limp and lifeless. Then she
raised her head, poked her great muzzle
into the kraut and slowly began 10
MUNICH the stuff. Fifteen minutes later
she looked quite happy. She had eaten
all the kraut and was taking great
mouthfuls of the hay. The dairyman
said sauerkraut had long been known
as one Of the best things in the world to
give a sicls cow an appetite
