"I was coming over from Baltimore on train the other day, and a man who writing in book asked me how to spell proper I told him, but a know-it all who sat near disputed me. I bet him $10 even up that I was right and proved I was by four disinterested men. I gave the ten to charity"
 How did the man contend the word should be spelled?" was asked.
 Why, he said there was only one p in it."
 And you stuck for two, eh?"
 "I did, and he finally owned up like a little man and handed me over his mon ey"
 And would you like to make the same wager again and leave it to the diction- aries?"
 Not much! consulted 'em, all next day and discovered that I had bluffed that poor chap out of his wealth."
 "But it was curious that four or five others should spell it the way you did" was observed.

BOER DELEGATES WILL WORK HARD To Make Political Capital Out of Presidents Refusal to
 Interfere.

New York. May 25.-A special to the Herald from Washington says:
 Notwithstanding the declaration of the president that the United States will not interfere in the South African war, the Boer commissioners expect that political expediency will cause him to make move which will be beneficial to their cause.
 ''It is apparent to the commissioners that the political agitation alone will aid their case, and they intend to take advantage of every opportunity to impress it upon the attention of the American people.
 Tt will be the earnest effort of the South African sympathizers in the United States to make the failure of the president to act in the interest of peace one of the prominent issues of the campaign. The west is reported wrought up over the re- fusal of the president to intervene, and it is proposed to keep the discomfort alive.
 "A gentleman acquainted with the situa- tion in South Africa and the hopes of the Boers, says that their troops can certainly hold out until December. Pretoria, he said, splendidly fortified, and would have 15,000 or 2O,OO0 defenders.
 Should Bryan be elected the fact that the president-eect of the United States has made a declaration of his intentions to take measures to stop the war will have the eff feet, 1t is believed. of causing the British to be more lenient in the terms they will propose'

 Dr. Juniper was reelected secretary and manager of the preachers society. The episcopal committee found the charges preferred against Bishop Handy by the Norfolk conference were not sustained.
