San Juan and Canev Fields.

[From the Boston Transcript
I thought you would probably like to
hear about the old battlegrounds-ilow
they look now. 1 went to Caney and
went over the whole field of July 1. You
would scarcely recognize the places. The
wire fence where Colonel Haskell and
Dickinson were shot has been repaired,
and it is difficult to locate the spot. The
bodies buried in the pineapple field-some
forty more-have all been removed and
the trench filed up. Parts of leggings,
shoes and other clothing of the dead can
be seen lying about. The old stone fort
is full of weeds and is crum bling down.
The roof is entirely gone. The Spanish
trenches near it are almost filled up.
Down nearer the city the Spanish posi-
tons difficult to determine All of
the wood block houses have either been
burned or carried away by the Cubans for
the lumber The sunken road is the only
natural looking place There is a com
pany of the Fifth infantry doing garri-
son duty at Caney. Their quarters are
clean and cool. and it is considered a
good station. The town is very free fror4
filth. The streets are being repaired
waterworks being put in, new plaza I'M
der construction, etc.
San Juan hill is overgrown with rank
vegetation Cuban peasant has hut
where once stood the famous block house
Vandals have injured the surrender tree
some, but q strong, double barbed wire
fence protects it, together with a penalty
of punishment for any violation.

LittIefield Was Applauded.

IFrom the Lewiston Journal
One of the really good stories is going
around among the lawyers and about Con-
gresham Littlefield. Twas when the
congressman was stamping in his cam
paign- 1t was up in a Franklin county
town. The chairman of the committee
wanted to gives Charles a good sendon,
and so he said:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Hon
Charles E. Littlefield, who is known from
PASSPORT to York as the one great orator
of Maine This fellow citizens, is Hon.
Charles Littlefield, who will talk to you
from the setting of the sun until the rising
up thereof"
Applausei
Then up rises Charles and darts a fall
con glance at the chairman and another
as piercing at the audience
Gentlemen" said he. you and the ne
chairman can stay here in this hall If
but as for myself, I'll tell you right now,
I'm going to be out of this hall in just
fifty minutes
And the applause that he got then was
in earnest.

ONE FOX HELPED ANOTHER.


[From the Cincinnati Enquirer.1
Joseph Maybaugh- a farmer, who lives
near Dundee, north of here, trapped
large red fox, and, carrying it home.
placed it in his corncrib until he could
notify his neighbors and have a chase.
The next morning the fox was gone. In
vestigation proved that it's mate had as
sisted the prisoner in making its escape.
The fox had worked away on the inside
until It had Dltten a board loose from "a, ~ Us
cient to permit it to get out unless the
board was lifted up The board was held
up from the outside, as the teeth marks
on 1t show. until the prison-r crav ID to
liberty. Tracks of another fox were seen
and there is no doubt that the mate came
after the fox inside the crib had loosened
the board and held 1t up. This is one or
the brightest fox tricks that old hunters
in the neighborhood have yet encountered

NONE FROM CHICAGO.

From the Philadelphia Press1
They are telling in this city story
about Chicago which one has a faint
recollection of having seen quoted
somewhere by Joseph Hatton in regard,
one thinks, to Pudsey. At any rate,
here it is: The other day a Chicagoan
Chicagoans mustard oddly enough,
found his way to the gates of the
celestial city. He hammered the knock
er in regulation Chicago way and ST.
Peter thrust his head out through the
question were asked, but at the an
SwerS the good saint shook his head.
He had never even heard of Chicago.
But, my dear sir!" cried Brown, as
tonished at such Ignorance, think!
Think Not heard of it? Impossible!
Look on the map, then. You'll find it,
and I may come in; there's nothing
against me-
ST. Peter looked, but, returning, said
he couldn't find it.
Nonsense replied Brown, his city
pride now injured. It's there, of
course Fancy a map without Chicago
on it."
So ST. Peter. to reassure him, fetched
the map, and, sure enough, Chicago
was missing.
But there is such a place. protested
Brown, and forthwith launched out up
on a lengthy catalogue of it's glories.
The saint paid little attention until
St Louis was accidentally mentioned.
''Oh, now you're talking he said
It's near St Louis. then2 Very well,
come in. I must apologize, but you see
we don't have the place on our map,
draw from and we've never got anyone
from Chicago before"

DECLARES FOR M'KINLEY.
Southern Illinois Jurist and Leading
Democrat Speaks Out.

Carlyle, Ill. Aug. 2O.-Judge G. Van
Hoorbeke, who served as United States
district attorney under President CleVe-
land, and who is one of the most promi-
nent Democrats in southern Illinois, has
declared his intention of supporting Presi-
dent Mckinley for reelection. He has is
sued a statement over his signature ex-
planning why he can not stand on the plat
form built in Kansas City
He declares the cry of Imperialism is
q mere bugaboo. and points out what he
deems to be the Democratic inconsistent
cies- In conclusion he says:
There can be no question that our
country has prOSpered the last four years.
Many new and trying problems springing
out Of the war with Spain have confront
ed the President, and these have been
met as we'll could be expected. 1 think
IT would be folly to undo much that has
been done. as Mr.. Bryan proposes to, and
the surest and safest way to protect the
interests of our country under the issues
presented is to vote for William Mckinley.

THE Gold Democrats a rule are anti
imperialists,' he said. ''They declined to
support Mr. Bryan four years ago be-
cause they looked upon the currency
question as the paramount issue of the
campaign. The most of them, 1 believe,
will be found supporting Bryan in this
campaign They believe that Imperialism
is the most dangerous possible policy for
the republic to adopt and it is of the ut
most consequence that the American peo-
pie should repudiate it absolutely by de-
featng the party that is responsible for it.
For that reason they will vote for
Bryan in 1900, Notwithstanding the 16 to l
plank, just as in 1896 they voted for Nc
Kinley Notwithstanding the protection

are not really free silver men, but they
