FAMILY FEUD.
The DePeyster Trouble Involves a
Whole VILLAGE.


The family feud which has been
raging in the DePeyster family has
involved the whole village of Tivoli,
N. Y, in bitter political strife.
Charges of bribery and the import
ing of voters from Saugerties, and
other places in the interests of the
factions in the recent village election
are being freely made.
The success of Colonel John Living
ston De Peyster in getting elected
President of the village is said to have
so enraged the father that the son
will find his administration of village
affairs thwarted in every way in
which his fathers great wealth and
influence can thwart it.
The aged General has long sought
to control the politics Of Tivoli, and
when it was announced last week that
Colonel De Peyster had been elected
Village President the followers of the
elder De Peyster began to cry fraud"
Money was somewhere" said a
devoted follower of General De Pey-
ster.
"Was bribery practiced in the viii
lage election?" was asked.
Eyes, there was bribery" he an
swered. General De Peyster was not
on the ground at all, and we were
beaten by SO. | will not say that
enough votes were bought to defeat
the Generals followers, but that votes
were bought there can be no doubt" I"

MANILA'S DEATH RATE
ONE OF THE MOST UNHEALTHY
CITIES IN THE WORLD.
Due Largely to Bubonic Plague and
Small Pox, Which Are Quite Com
mon in the PhiIlipines-A Fish and
Rice Diet.

The census of Manila, just COM
pleted by the Health Department,
gives the city an unpleasant high rank
among the unhealthful cities of the
world. 1t establishes a death rate Of
more than 40 per cent. Former esti-
mates and censuses always had given
Manila 100000 population. This CEN
sus was careful count of natives
and Chinese living in buildings and
boats in the police district Of Manila,
and it gave total of only 190,714, of
whom 10000 were Cinnamon.
There are to be added the inhabi-
tants of other villages within the city
limits, Americans and Europeans and
1,400 priests in the monasteries From
reliable information the officials esti-
mate their number at between $4,000
and $4,000.
The deaths in Manila during the six
months from July 1 to December 81,
last year, were 6,203. OF these 2,941
were children. Manila now has three
diseases epidemic, which would throw
the average community into panic
bubonic plague, beriberi and small
pox. Beri-beri results from a diet of
fish and rice, so that whites do not
fear it.
Smallpox and leprosy the Philip
pines always have and the people
look upon them as a matter of course,
avoiding direct contact, but hardly
giving second thought to their pres
ence in the neighborhood. Smallpox
fourishes in parts of Luzon constant
ly. Half Of the natives in the country
districts are pitted with it and moth
ers try to get their children infected
with it under the belief that It 10 less
dangerous to the young.
General Bells famous volunteer
regiment, the Thirty-sixth, is suffering
from an epidemic. Lieutenant Toncray
and Lieutenant Wing, both of whom
were from Tennessee, and several
soldiers have died.
The easy-going natives and Span
iards paid so little attention to lepro-
sy that the Philippines never have been
noted for that disease, yet there are
more than a hundred lepers In the
Manila Hospital.
Bubonic plague is visitor to which
distance lends terrors. Two months
ago the first case was discovered in
Manila. Since that time there have
been 200 cases, according to the esti
mates Of the health officers and at
least 80 per cent. of them have result
ed fatally.

Many of Its Foremost Citizens and

The exodus of wealthy Chicagoans
to New York continues at a rate which
promises to diminish rapidly the
ranks of the local 400" The past
two years have seen the departure of
a large number to make their homes
In the Eastern metropolis, and lately
they have gone at the rate of one
week.
For instance, last week James B.
Breese, the broker, left to make
Gotham his residence. This week
Charles B. Mcdonald, the broker and
golf man, announced that he would
soon say good-by. Next week will see

The most serious indictment of the

ley, published in the London Daily
Mail 1t is, in part. as follows:
1T is war steadily and stealthily
planned by the Queens Dutch sub.
jects and the Dutch republics for fully
twenty years. For between four and
six years they have been equipping
for it. They began purchasing arms
and planning defenses before the
Jamison raid. Let no one fool you
with the falsehood about that. Final.
ly, Kruger begged President Steyn to
declare war three weeks before Presi-
dent Steyn consented. Next rid your
mind Of the notion that you are crush

not farmer in the two countries, and
only one, the Free State, was a re-

Their camps and strongholds from
which we have routed them are the
filthiest places have known men of
any sort to live in, and have seen
red Indians, Chinese and Turkish
camps, and the camps of many sorts
of black men.
There has hardly been battle in
which the Beers have not abused
either the white flag or the Geneva
cross. or both.
"At many places they fired on our

Modder river, and saw them fire on
our stretcher bearers in that battle
time and time again. When we enter
