There occurred somewhat of a
chewing match at the Half Way
House on Saturday between a bicy-
Gle tourist and the proprietor, Mau-
rice Quinn, over the distance from
Port Jervis to Milford. Mr.. Quinn
said it lacked just go yards of being
seven miles from the Milford post
Office building to the Matamoras
bridge. The gentleman awheel
claimed his cyclometer had register
ed eight miles in the morning when
he covered the distance, and also
said he had seen several others tina t
registered the same number of miles
between the two points mentioned.
The only conclusion arrived at
was that Pennsylvania miles were
a few hundred feet longer than
those of New York State.
Woll, suppose the miles are a
little longer. Show us the person
who wouldn't prefer riding few
hundred feet further to the mile on
Pennsylvania roads than a few hun
dred feet short on miles on New
York State roads.

VIM. L. WILSON ON THE WAR,

| Hon. William L. Wilson, presiden
of Washington and Lee University
used as the topic Of his last address be-
| fore the students of the university thai
which is now the issue of gre 1t Interest
I-England and the Beers.
| He said that when Southern Africa
was acquired from the Dutch by the
English there was found people de-
scended from tho Dutch. These peopls
had now cut loose from European
customs and desire only the name OF
Afrikanders. They became, Mr.. Wilson
said, slave-holding, narrow people.
In 1888. when England smancipated
the slaves, the Bosrs organized them
selves into a grand trek and wandered
into Southeast Africa, away from the
English, where they could live accord
ing to laws of their own making. The
result Of this emigration was the
establishment of the Transvsal Repub-
lie. The attempted secession was look
ed upon by England with much dis
favor, and frequent fights occurred.
Finally affairs assumed such state
that q delegation of Beers conferred
with the English, and the result was
that The Transvaal was put under the
Bri ish flag.
A majority of the Beers became dis
satisfied when the British flag became
the dominent emblem OF the Iransvaal.
Notwithstanding the defeat of the
British at Majuba Hill by the Beers
and the British cry for vengeance,
Gladstone took up the cause of the
Beers, dared to Go right, and restored
to them their rule.
Diamonds and gold in large quaint
ties were soon found in the 2oer' terri
tory, AMI the result was disastrous. adj
venturers poured into the rich fields,
Johannesburg was built, property Was
acquired, mines were opened by the
throngs that poured in. The Beers re-
scented this intrusion. Heavy taxes were
imposed upon the strangers, and they
were not allowed to take part in legis-
lation.
1t was inevitable that a struggle
would soon begin for recognition Of
political rights and the distranchised
to England. If ii is to be war,
the one disastrous result can be readily
f reseen. The intrepid Beers, brave, OBJ
stinate and wiling to fight to the
death, will be Completely crushed by |
the equally brave Englishmen.

taker when be comes around next year:
I'he article from the Lyachburg
News, published elsewhere in this is

tho farmers, which they will do we'll to
heed. Every farmer ought to keep q
strict yearly account Of the products Of
the tarm, including OF course the gar
den, poultry-yard. orchard and all.
This would DO . benefit in many ways.
One result would be 10 convince the
farmer that he makes much more on
his farm than he thinks. The habit Of
the farmers to complain OF their hard
lot, is proverbisl. II is often said by
farmers themselves that farming doesn't
pay. They think the merchant and
tradesmsn mako more and have better
time! II they will keep caieful record
OF all that is made and consumed on
the farm and in the family, and the
