FROM [
NEW CASTLE.
February 20 b, 1900.

Yesterday was the anniversary
of the birth Of the late Mrs. Bacon
OF North Fifth street, and her sur
yiving children and their families
gathered at herlate home last even
ing for supper. During Mrs. Bacon s
life time she liked to have her
children and grandchildren around
her on her birthday. Since her
death the surviving members of the
Bacon family gather together to
celebrate the birthday anniversary
OF a loving and kind mother who
has gone to her reward.
The President Of the United
States has honored John G.. King
BY appointing him postmaster Of
New Castle. The Union Republi-
cans are sorely disappointed as it
was expected by them that the
President would recognize Con-
gresham Hoffecker. But the Presi-
dent ignored him and appointed a
man that richly deserved the plum.
He has been worker for the Re-
publican party and his appoint
mcnt is only recognition for party
services.

LOCKE HAD MONEY.
Bet Democrats Gould Show as Many
Flops as Republicans.

George F. Locke, the custodian Of the
funds sent to Kansas by the national
Democratic committee is hunting for
bets and offers 81. 900 that the Demo-
cratic state committee can verify a
greater number of changes from McKin-
ley to Bryan this year in Kansas than
the Republicans can prove to have flop
ped in the opposite direction
This offer to bet was made at $3.50 a.
m, on the Santa Fe fast mail, between
Kansas City and Empofia.
Mr.. Locke diyed into his pocket and
produced a roll of bills that in the semi
darkness of the coach looked as big as
a joint of stove pipe.
MIR. Locke dourished the roll with con-
siderable energy and wanted to put up
the money.
The subject of Mr. Locke's offer was
a newspaper man from Kansas City
who was on his way to northern Kansas.
He was Phil s. Creager Of the Kansas
City Journal
1t is said the Republican state com
mittee has sent out a tracer for Mr..
Locke with instructions to double
the amount il the Democratic manager
is still looking for a bet.

but was probably realistic portrayal

The plot, which IS about the same as
all those nelodramas, is laid in Califor-
mia, where John Murray is owner of the

Frank Meredith, appears on the scene.

LONDON GOSSIP.
Selection of Successor to Foreign
Office Still a Bother.

New York Sept. ga dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The rumor mongers are still at work
on the cabinet. while the canvass is in
progress Lord I-ansdowne had a long
interview with Lord Salisbury before
the diplomatic reception. and as this
was the second time within a week that
they have been closeted together, the
political gossips were convinced that
they themselves were on the right
scent in determining successor to the
foreign office
There is at least strong probability
that Lord Salisbury in leaving the for
eign Office will desire to find a locum
tenentem who viii consult him at every
turn Of affairs, and the personal rela-
tions between him and Lord Lansdowne
suggest this selection of a substitute.
Dispatches from the far east present
an astonishing medley OF contradictory
reports. The empress and Prince Tuan
are reported to be in full fight and also
to be raising armies and preparing to
capture Pelzin. Ii Hung Chang IS pro-
viding a peace offering to the powers
by hunting down boxers and cutting off
the heads OF the leaders. Additions ara
constantly made to the lists OF nrassa-
cred missionaries, and fresh details of
the maneuvers of the allied forces are
telegraphed.
The empress is alternately coaxing
and intimidating the allies by display
ing zeal and Furnishing the boxers with
the death penalty at an hours notice
and displacing officials cistrusted by
the consuls and preparing to resume
military operations against the invaders.
while the powers are conducting nego-
tfations over moves for position.
Russia has been adopting a system
OF stern reprisals in occupying Man
churia, burning villages. destroying
temples and slaughtering the Manchus
along the banks OF the Amoor river
There have been no contradictions of
the reports of these ruthless massacres
by which the occupation or a large pro-
vince of China has been secured.
