Evidence of British Tampering
With Official Mail is Fur
nlshed by Macrum.
Congressman Wheeler Declares the
Story Is Worse than Painted by
Mr.. Macrum.

A special dispatch from Wash.
ington to the Chicago Inter Ocean
Rep says: Representative Chas.
X. Wheeler said tonight. after a
conference with Chas. K. Macrum,
that the former consul had told
him his whole story, and that It
was worse than Macrum painted
II He said Macrum had told him
the story in confidence, and had
shown him the envelopes which
bad been opened at the seal and
closed sgain with a sticker on
which vas printed the royal coat
or arms above the initials ". RI
II told Mr.. Macrum that I did not
believe what he said in his state
ment," Mr.. Wheeler said. II of.
fered tSe resolution for the pur.
pose OF affording the State De.
partment an opportunity to call
him a liar 10 an official manner.
When | read the Macrum story |
thought there was nothing more
10 the whole matter than the dis
ciplining of a refractory consul,
aud that he was trying to get re.
venge. But | tell you the British
have been guilty Of the meanest
system Of espionage ever prac
Iiced, and Secretary Hay made a
grand mistake ia not hearing what
Mscrum had TO say.
"a genuine American Secretary
of State would not rect until he
had compelled The British govern.
ment TO make abject apologies.
Why, II is uncomfortable that any
government, l care not how weak,
should tolerate such violation OF
lie official mail.
THE envelopes Mr.. Maerum
showed me bore the on1cial seal
OF the state department, aud they
could not have been Inadvertently
opened by the censor. rhe VIC
latiOn was done with dellberation
aud without any attempt to ex.
cuse or conceal it,"
MAoRUM WAITING.
Mr.. Macrum is in Washington
TO be on hand 10 furnish any in.
formation that may be needed 10
connection with the resolution of
Representative Wheeler, adopted
by the house on the l9tb, calling
on the secretary of State for
stat emr nj 10 regard TO the Macrum
charge against the British govern.
ment, He has in his possession
several envelopes bearing notice
from the DURHAM censor that they
had been opened and the contents
read. In the meantime the mat.
ter has been referred TO young
Hay asPretOris TO Investigal Q the
the truth Of Macrum's charges.
AN INDIGNANT DENIAL.
The British government denies
the charge and says il is improb.
able that consular letters were
opened at Durham, as alledged 10y
Macrum. But how the British
government is going TO overcome
the evidence of the letters them.
selves does not appear. Perhaps
expert testimony will prove them
fOrgeTies. Ambassador Choate
declares il nonsense that the
British government is TO be call.
ed to account for ,ampering with
the United States consul's mail.

The Farmers Wife.

We live on q farm we know il our own,
Mind our business sni let others alone;
Each one of us has an easy chair.
IN which we rock bv our own wood fire.
There is no life more happy than fsrmer'slfe,
And none more happy than farmers wife.
We have plenty to eat and enough to wear,
And none of the merchant, or bankers care
We are always prepared for happy winter,
For we'er never indebt one cent to the printer.
CHORUS.
There is no life more happy than farmers life.
And none more happy than farmers wife.
We are always supplied with plenty Of news,
For we take the psupeis and them we peruse
We have plenty OF books OF the better sort.
When through with papers to them we resort.
CHORUS
There is mo life more happy than fa mer's life
And none more happy than u fsrne wife.
Our children have gained fair stock of knowle'ge
ALI hough they can't boast + going to college
Now they are scattered by mountain apd wave
And some in the silent embrace of the grave
oeoRUS
May God bless and cheer the farmers life,
Is the humble prayer Of a farmers wife.

in opening the Pennsylvania State
Convention of the w. G.. T. U. held
here October 18th. 1t was presented
by H. L. Robinson on behalf of Mrs.

Obituary.

Died at the home of her sister, Mrs.
VIM. Wiley, December 18th, 1900, Miss
Josie Hamilton in the 21st year of
her age. Deceased was young lady
of rare excellencles of character and
life, cultured and refined, giving prom
ise of life full of happiness, useful
ness and beauty, She was engaged to
be married on the Goth of this month
to a gentleman residing in a distant
State, and upon the day of her death
a letter came from her loved one, full
of tender words and yearning for the
nuptial day. But death had claimed
its victim and the cold, dead lips could
give no response to kind, loving
words from him to whom she had given
her love and confidence. Josie Ham
ilton united with the Dunn's Chapel
M. E. Church seven years ago. Last
winter in the revival services held in
this city at the M. E. Church, being
dissatisfied with her religious expert
ence, she bowed at the altar of
prayer and was wonderfully saved by
the power of Christ. She became a
member of the society of the Church
known as the twin Ones" whose OBJ
ject it is to bring others to Christ
Her work is done and her suffering
over. She has gone to mingle among
that throng where death, cruelty and
evil cannot come.
Peaceful be the silent number,
Peace full in the grave 20 low:
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day OF life is I'D.
And in heaven with love to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

Obituary..

Caroline, daughter of Robert and
Mary Nc Coppin, was born at Carmel,
o., April 6, 1888, and died near Lynch
burg November 4, 1900. She was mar
ried to James H. Wright October %,
1851. TO them were born eight chill
dren-six sons and two daughters, all
of whom grew to maturity.
When thirteen years of age she was
united with the M. E. Church, after
ward changing her connection to the
M. P. Church, remaining faithful un-
til death, and now enjoys her crown
of life.
On September %, 1888, the family
circle was broken for the first time,
the husband and father being called
home. Five years elapsed when death
again invaded the home, her son,
James, being another tie in the great
beyond. In less than two years Rob-
ert was called from his earthly labors
And now mother is gone. On less
here, one more there. But while we
feel the loss of mothers association
and her counsels and while our hearts
are heavy and sad for the voice we
will never know more here, we sorrow
not as those who have no hope.
All her life was devoted to the in
terests and welfare of her children,
and nothing seemed to give her great
er pleasure than to have them visit
her. All through her sickness of
eighteen months duration she seemed
resigned to what she knew would be
the result and was willing and even
anxious to be at rest. She often ex-
pressed the wish that she might 60
quickly, as she dreaded the thought
of becoming helpless and burdensome,
and her wish was granted. And just
as the day was dawning bright and
clear, so mother passed the pearly
gates to join the loved ones gone be-
fore. ~

The press all over the United States
has lately been filled with accounts
of the large amounts recently en-
bezzelled by bank officials and public
officials. The first was the robbery of
a New York bank of over 500. 600 by a
clerk. This was considered a record
breaker. Next came the looting of
the Covington, KY, bank of $l9S. 900, or
nearly twice its capital stock. Then
followed the enormous defalcation of
nearly 100000 by the Clerk of
the Cincinnati Board of Education.
Everyone of these defalcations were
by men who had the implicit con-
tidence of the public. To accomplish
the steal they had to abuse the con-
fidence of their friends. This alone
should triple the punishment. Yet
such is the glamor cast by large de-
falcations that it is more than Prob,
able none of them will suffer as much
as does the poor unfortunate who
steals $40 or $50. With the money
thus secured they will secure immun.
ity. Thus are the ends of justice de.
fated even in a country where all men
are equal in the eyes of the law. TIC
escape punishment for a crime it is
now but necessary to have wealth
Unless change is soon made in the
administration of justice the poor
will be at the mercy of the rich.
