change in its plan for selling sugars. All guar
antees have been withdrawn and the Is cents a

voice will be held for thirty days and paid in the
shape of gratuity at the end of that time. The
Withholding of the rebate for thirty days was

ever does not apply to the Southern trade, and the
Hat" rate continues at all Southern points. The
change announced yesterday was promptly met by
the Howels, representing the National and Molten
hauer ref1neries, while the Arbuckles made net
price at all points less the per cent for cash in
seven days. The Doscher refinery has made no
announcement vet, but the trade believes that it

The Republican National Convention


The Republican national convention will
convene in Philadelphia next Tuesday. and
will be in session three days. The work
could be easily finished in two, but The citl-
zsns of Philadelphia put up 100000 to get
the convention to that city, and the conven-
ton will be held so that the people can get
their money back out of delegates and visitors
There will be but one candidate for Presi-
dent, Mr.. Mckinley, and he will be chosen
by reclamation For Vice President there
will be several candidates, and several ballots
may be necessary before choice is made.
The platform will be presented to the con
vention ready made, and all the convention
will have to do will be TO endorse what Hanna
presents.
There will be number OF contests for seats
to he settled, all of which are from states that
Georgia., LOUISIANA, Texas and Tennessce.
These contests are the results of rival factions
in these states, and each faction is striving for
recognition by the national convention so as
to control national patronage in their states.
Office is what they are aiter-public plumber
is their only concern.
There is also Il contest from the 18th con.
gressional district of Pennsylvania, composed
of Adams, Cumberland and York counties
This contest arose over the clashing of the
Wanamaker and Quay factions.

Pleasant Valley Items.

Cora Legore, domestic employed by Fred
erick G. Yinging, a farmer, near here, had an
experience with snake last Saturday which
she will not soon forget. While milking in
the stable she felt rather a strange creeping
around her waist. Thinking it was one the
cats, she attempted to knock it away and found
a snake had wrapped around her. This
frightened her and she tainted. The family
noticing her unusual long stay went in search
of her, and found her lying under the cow.
The snake had left.
The storm on Friday of last week did some
damage around here, such as blowing over
fences, breaking trees, etc.

on the old celebration ground on July 2lst

Do You Sell Hay. &C.. in Baltimoreq

The following, from Chapter 249 of the Acts
of 1900, may be of interest to many of our
readers:
The provisions of the law passed by the last
Legislature fixing the license and penalties
for hucksters, dealers, brokers or middIemen
of unbaled hay, INHALED straw and ear corn
by the wagon load in Baltimore city, are not
generally known by the persons to whom it
applies.
The law provides that persons desiring to
engage in the business of huckstering, hawk
ing or peddling INHALED hay, INHALED straw
and ear corn by the wagon load in Baltimore
city must obtain license from the clerk of
the Court of Common Pleas. The license
will cost $50.
Persons engaged in selling INHALED hay, I'M
baled straw or ear corn by the wagon load on
commission are required to take ont license
costing 500. The licenses are to run for one
year from June l. The penalty provided for
violating the law is fine of from 500 to $500
for each offense.
The law does not apply to growers and
curers of hay, straw and ear corn.

The Cost of War.


One of the unfortunate things about war is
that the cost oft generally falls hardest upon
those who are innocent of any real part in
prosecuting the war. In the United States,
for example, the cost of the war in the Philip
pines is borne by business men and by char
liable organizations and by industrial inter-
ests that would be glad to see the war ended
The educational institutions of the United
States are suffering in many ways from the
war across the Pacific. A more striking in
stance is seen in India at the present time.
There the unfortunate natives are slowly starry
ing to death because their money has all gone
to pay taxes, and they are left without funds
