The following from the Baltimore
News will be gratifying to many of the
people of Accomac. Mr.. Hughlett
taught school in this county for sew
eral years and so impressed many of
our people with his integrity and
high character that they never
doubted, that he would be heard from
again in a way to justify the good
opinion they had of him:
A remarkable case mentioned in
to days dispatches is that of Prof. A.
NJ. Hughlett, formerly Principal OF
Randolph Macon Academy, at Bed
ford City, Va. Two years ago it was
discovered that his accounts were
$4,000 short. He disappeared and
no special effort was made to find
him, the amount being made good
by his father-in-law. His friends
have held ever since the unfortunate
state of Professor Hughlett's accounts
was discovered that the shortage was
due more to bad Judgment than to
criminal intent. This belief seems to
have been substantiated by the
course he pursued, as dispatch on
another page of today's News tells of
his having succeeded after two years.
hard work, teaching night and day,
in saving the amount necessary to pay
off his Indebtedness. The reply of
his faithful wife to his inoniry
whether he should send or bring the
money home is very touching-"Come
back. Baby Leland and Mamma"

Bryan Criticises the Platform.

Milwaukee, Wis, June A.-Hon.
William j. Bryan, who was on his
way to Chicago and Lincoln from his
vacation, said yesterday regarding
the Republican platform adopted at
Philadelphia:
The Philadelphia platform is the
best evidence thus far given of the
deception attempted by the Repub
lican party. Taken in connection
with the speeches made at the con-
vention it shows that the Republican
party's platform of 1896 was delib-
crate fraud as far as the promises of
international bimetallism were con-
cerned; that the party's attitude on
the trust question is insincere and
that the party is not willing to state
its attitude on the Philippine ques-
ton and invite the judgment of the
people. Nothing was more manifest
in the convention than the military
spirit, and yet the convention did not
dare indorse the demand of the Presi
dent of 1898 for a standing army of
100, 600 men,"

BAFFLED BY CHINESE.
American Blood is Split.

American blood has at last been
split in the fighting in China. Ad-
miral Kempff, at Taku, cabled yes.
terday that four of Major Walters
men were killed and seven wounded
in the fight near Tientsin last Thurs
day. These were part of force OF
1870 marines under Major LittletOn
w. II. Waller who, in conjunction
with 400 Russians, started from Taku
for Tientsin to relieve the hard
pressed foreign residents, on whom a
large force of Chinese had been wag
ing an attack for days The names
of Walters men who fell were not
given in Admiral Kempff's message.
The Admiral said that force OF 1000
men was going TO relieve Tientsin on
Sunday.
Rear Admiral Bruce, of the British
navy, cabling from Taku to London.
saws that IAN attempt to relieve
Tientsin June % was repulsed, with
some loss" This indicates another
relief expedition was repulsed on
Friday, the day after Walters fight.
A Shanghai dispatch says that still
another relief force was sent from
Taku on Saturday and that 1t con-
sisted of 1900 men.
Pekin has now been cut off IA days
from communication with America
and Europe. Admiral Seymour, of the
British navy, whose relief column of
1900 men started from Tientsin to re-
lieve Pekin, has not been heard from
in 70 days.
The authorities at Washington are
beginning to realize the magnitude
of the task they have undertaken in
China. Admiral Remey, chief OF the
Asiatic squadron, has been ordered
from Manila to 1aku, succeeding Ad-
miral Kempff and thus transferring
the headquarters of the squadron. He
will go to Taku on the fine cruiser
Brooklyn, which will become the
American flagship there.
Preparations on big scale are
being made by the United States War
Department, but their extent Is
being concealed.
The nature of the task undertaken
by the powers, if they are to coerce
the Chinese, is also dawning upon the
courts of Europe. 1t is already said
that 100000 men would not be too
many to land, instead of 10000 the
present force that is strung out be
tween Taku and Pekin.-Baltimore

The Virginia delegation to the
Kansas City Convention will, it is
stated, be practically solid for David
b. Hill for Vice President. All at
least who have been interviewed in
the matter, including Senator Daniel
and Governor Tyler have so de
clared, except Senator Martin, and he
is expected to be in line when the
convention meets. Whether they will
reflect the views of those whom they
are supposed to represent though, in
casting their votes for him in the
Democratic National Convention, is
another question. The democrats of
Virginia have not forgotten that Mr..
Hill was not in accord with them in
1896 and doubt now whether he is
sufficiently in harmony with Mr..
Bryan on the great public questions
of to day to be his running mate. No
one can believe even that he is the
choice of the majority of the Vir-
ginia delegation. They are for giving
him the second place on the ticket
doubtless, because they believe some
thing must be done to satisfy the
various elements of the party and
that Mr. Hill as the representative
of certain class Of democrats could
do much to heal the dissensions in the
party. His name would not be con
sidered if Mr.. Bryan were out of the
way. as Presidential candidate. IL
ought not to be for the second place
if he is not in harmony with his
party Compromise candidates mean
a sacrifice Of principles, and results in
the past for democracy justify the
conclusion that nothing is gained by
experimenting in that direction.
That his availability is questiona
bic appears in the following extract
from an editorial in the Richmond
Dispatch in regard to the candidacy
of Mr.. Hill: The difficulties of the
situation are such that some of our
shrewdest leaders doubt if our party
ought to go to New York for Bryan's
running-mate. Not a few believe
that an outside Democrat would run
better in the Empire State than any
one of it's own so>called favorite sons,
such is the jealousy between the
Tammanyites and the upstate
Democrats.

The National Convention of the
Prohibition party is in session at
Chicago, and in point of numbers and
enthusiasm is considered one of the
most successful ever held by the ad-
vocates of cold water. Thirty seven
States are represented in the body.
In the platform adopted all other
issues are subordinated to one ques-
ton, the liquor traffic, and on that
question and the evils incident to it
the campaign will be made by the
party this year. Upon this platform,
it is conceded, that either s. G.
Swallow, the lighting parson," OF
HarrisonbuIg, or John q. Woolley
of Chicago, editor of the New Voice,
the Prohibition national organ, will
be nominated for President. During
the proceedings both of the old par
ties were scored but of the two the
democratic party in the opinion of
the body, seemed to be the lesser
evil. The Prohibition party of course
does not expect to elect its candida
ties and Mr.. Mckinley is too roundly
condemned by them in the following
to leave any doubt, in the opinion
of the Prohibitionists, that Mr.. Nc
X inley ought not to be his own sue
cessOr:
I'VE charge upon President McKin-
ley, who was elected to that high Of
flee by appeals TO Christian sentiment
and patriotism, almost unprecedented
and by combination of moral ipflu-
eDces never before seen in this coun-
try, that, by his conspicuous example
as wine drinker at public banquets,
and as wine-serviDg host in the
White House, he has done more to
encourage the liquor business, to de
moralize the temperate habits of
young men, and to bring Christian
practices and requirements into dis
repute, than any other President this
republic has had.
I'VE further charge upon President
Mckinley responsibility for the army
canteeD, with all it's diro brood of dis
ease, immortality, sin, and death, in
this country, in Cuba, in Porto Rico,
and in the Philippines, and we insist
that by his attitude concerning the
canteep, and his apparent contempt
for the vast number of petitions and
petitioners protesting against it, he
has outraged and insulted the moral
sentiment of this country in such a
manner, and to such degree as calls
for its righteous uprising and his in
dignant and effective rebuke.

Obituary.

Saturday morning June 16, 1900,
lust before noon whilst the sun was
shining so bright. and sorrow seemed
so far away, the Death Angel visited
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Willie Be-
lote, and bore away the joy of their
circle, Little Forest Cecil, the only
child, aged 8 months and days
A lovely little bud, from
Our neighborhood's been taken,
A lovely flower that's been cherished,
With all whom it has met.
We know we will miss thy smiling
face,
Thy tender little voice,
But such comforting hopes we have,
That again, we shall see him with
God.
Lol the pain of life is past,
All his warfare now is DER,
Death, and life behind are cast,
Grief and suffering are no more.
Borne by angels on their wings,
Far from earth his spirit flies,
Finds his God and there is resting,
In the blissful heavens above
Weep not fond parents,
Though great is thy loss,
Forest has found sweet protection,
And is with the Saviour blest.
We all loved little Forest,
And would have wished him stay,
But our Fathers will be done,
He shines in endless day
Cousin Maggie.

DEER IN CONNECTICUT.
Their Number Probably Greater Now
Than 1870 Years Ago.


Than 100 Years Ago.
From the Hartford Times.
1t seems to be fact, proved by almost
daily observation now, that the deer are
returning to Connecticut, and in good num-
bers. too. Reports are heard almost daily
Of one or more of these graceful animals
being seen in one or another part Of the
good old state. under circumstances which
fix 1t that they are new arrivals.
There are probably more deer in Connect
cut today than at any previous time with
in the last $50 years. They are seen on
railroad tracks, in fields and gardens. and
even feeding with the domestic cattle.
Where they all come from and what Is
drawing them here seem not to be very
clear. They are not only seen in most I'M
expected places. but appear to be singular
ly free from fear of human beings. They
are seen, too. in nearly all parts of the
state. A day or two ago a young lady
down the river below Mddletown succeed
ed in photographing one of them by a snap
shot. AT almost any time within the last
100 years down to 1900 if hunter wished
to shoot deer he made a long trip to find
his game-going either to the Adrondacks
or the far backWoodS of Maine.
Their appearance in such numbers might
be accounted for by the disappearance of
the wolves that formerly destroyed them:
but the wolves have been gone. in almost
all parts of New England, for long time,
and their disappearance cannot now be re-
lied upon to account for the deer. What
ever may turn out to be the cause Of their
sudden and rapid increase in numbers here
in old Connecticut, it is pleasant thing to
see them returning to this neighborhood
What a pleasant addition to the neighbor-
hood OF our forest patches their graceful
presence would make If their seeming trust
in human kind is permitted to take root
and stay,

Opera Glass Lenses.

From Chambers Journal
few years ago the lenses of nearly every
opera glass sold in England were manu-
featured abroad. Recently, however, some
London firms have devoted themselves to
this class Of work, but the prices are far
In excess Of those of the best French and
German make, and these. indeed, leave very
little to be desired.
There are one or two departments only IN
optics where we hold our own with lie
foreigner. In the construction of micro
scopes, Photographic lenses and astronomi-
cal telescopes our own manufa curing OPP
tie1ans are not to be excelled and scarce Y
equaled. In all these instruments superla-
tive care and nicely of adjustment together
witt perfection of finish, are sine qua
non, and here our own manufacturers hold
the palm.
1t is q remarkable fact that although the
value of raw optical glass ground into pho
Geographic, telescope and microscope lenses
runs into many thousands of pounds per
annum, its manufacture in this country has
always remained in the hands of a firm of
lighthouse lens manufacturers in Birming
ham, who, it is well known. have made a
gigantic fortune cut Of this branch Of their
business alone.
