mining leases in the Choctaw and

arrangement will greatly facilitate
matters, as all leases are required

Foreign EntanQIements.

A Washington dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun says there is a widespread
apprehension that the 'McKinly ad-
ministration, from the outbreak of the
wal with Spain through a long series
of secret transactions to the present
time, has been entangling itself and, so
far as it can do so. entangling the Uni
ted States by friendly understand
ing" with the British government on
a number of subjects. The Democrat
ic party of Ohio has given positive
expression to this belief by declaring
in its platform that there is "a secret
and vicious alliance between England
and the Republican administration
whereby this nation may become in
vOlved in war with foreign nations. -
The danger is that events may at any
time flow from this secret understand
ing between the Mckinley and Sails
bury cabinets which may make it diff
ficuIt. if not impossible, for this ma
tion to avoid being drawn into the
complicated web of rival European
ambitions in Asia.

The profit of a gold mine depends
not on the amount of rock crushed un-
der the stamps but upon the amount of
gold which can be extracted from the
rock. In similar way the value of
the food which is eaten does not de.
pend on the quantity which is taken
into the stomach, but upon the amount
OF nourishment extracted from it by
the organs of nutrition and digestion.
When these organs are diseased they
fail to extract the nourishment in suffi-
cient quantities to supply the needs of
the several organs of tie body, and
these organs cannot work without
nourishment. The result is heart
trouble, liver trouble and many an
other ailment. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, acting on every
organ of the digestive and nutritive
system, restores it to health and vigor.
1t cures diseases remote from the
stomach through the stomach in which
they originated. Golden Medical Dis
covery contains neither alcohol nor
narcotics.

Waynesboro Amateurs Play In Lexington

An amateur troupe made up of
young ladies and gentlemen of Way
nesboro, produced the little comedy
''Topsy Turvy'' at the Lexington opera
house Friday night in very pleasing
manner, though absence from home
and the strangeness between players
and audience placed the actors in a
more trying position than they had
previously encountered and they were
evidently not at their best. The COM
pany was under the management of
Mrs. Lilly B. Lee. The actors were
Miss Merle Lambert, Miss Maude
Shirley, Miss Mary Swink, Miss
Maude Murray, E. c. Myers, Marshall
johnson. Will Gallaher, Mr.. McGary
and Mr.. Bartlett. The music for the
occasion was furnished by Waynes-
boro amateurs under the lead of Mr.
John Michael. The troupe gave the
play for the benefit of the Confederate
monument fund Of Waynesboro. They
played at Buena Vista the evening
before coming to Lexington Rock

Macrum on Hay.

Pretoria, said regarding the state.
ment that Consul Hay had failed @te
find any evidence of the consular mai
being tampered with during Mr.. Ma
crum 3 stay at Pretoria: 4
''This is such a palpabIe perversior
of the truth that it is impossible to al
low the matter to pass unnoticed as il
seems to have come from the State
Department. This statement is on a
parallel with the malicious representa-.
tions which came from the same de.
partment before I reached this coun.
try. If proofs of all my charges are
not on file at the consulate in Pretoria
it is because they have been wilfully
abstracted therefrom. In short,
want to say that the statement pub.
lished is lie, nothing more or less. l
have been slandered and maligned until

Lee in Command.

The President has issued an order
merging the Departments Of Havana
and Pinar Del Rio, Cuba, under the
command of General Fitzhugh Lee,
with headquarters at Quemados. The
change will take effect May first. AT
present General Ludlow is in command
of the Department Of Havana, which
is to be amalgamated with Pinar Del
Rio. Quemad0s is the present head
quarters of the Department of Pinar
Del Rio, and in the site of the camp
where the major of the American gar
rison is quartered. The fact that Gen.
eral Lee is to retain his headquarters
there is regarded as an evidence of the
fact tnat his duties are to be purely
military, and that he will have nothing
to do with the civil administration In
Havana.

Of Three Sisters for a Brother
Who Ran Away ffou Home.
Is HEIR TO A FORTUNE
Virginia Visited in the Search.
The Young Man Was Finally
Discovered in Louisville, KY.
All Have Returned Home.

Three sisters from Wales ended a
two-years' search for their brother
last week, and are now on their way
home with him. Their quest began
In New Y YOrk, and before it had ended
they had visited almost every big city
east of the Missouri river, finally dis.
covering the boy, the heir of the fami.
ly, in Louisville, KY. The brother is
the son of Griffith Grifiths, of Cardiff,
Wales, very large land owner The
boy, who is now sixteen. ran away
from home because be did not like his
step-mother. The sisters suspected
he had gone to the United States be-
cause letter from an uncle in this
country was missing from the family
correspondence, but they could not
remember the address of the uncle.
They only knew it was in some large
city, and they determined to find the
lad.
As the father would not advance
any money for the search they had but
little, and that their own pocket mon
ey, when they landed in New York
two years ago. They agreed to sepa-
rate for the purpose of search. Miss
Grace went to Chicago, where she OBJ
tained position as assistant cashier
in big dry goods house. Miss Emma
went to Cincinnati and maintained
herself by taking subscriptions for
books and periodicals, and Ysabel
finally became a salesgirl in a dry
goods store i'll Brooklyn. Practically
the only aid the young women had in
their search was the directory. For
two years they used all their spare
time in visiting every Griffith they
could locate. Miss Ysabel carried her
search through New York, New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania, and had even
come as far south as Richmond, where
she spent her two weeks vacation last
summer.
Miss Grace, with Chicago as her CEN
tre, visited all the big cities of Indi-
ana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin,
while Miss Emma carried her search
to the south from Cincinnati, first
traversing Ohio. then Pennsylvania
and finally Kentucky. where, ten days
ago, she met her brother in the street
in Louisville, coming from a house she
was about to visit to inquire for him,
and in which her uncle lived.
The party were reunited in New
York and have sailed for Wales.

This Year.
In this, the last year of the nineteenth
century, which, by the way, is not a

there will be three eclipses, two Of the
sun and one Of the moon.
The solar eclipse. taking place on the

down through Mexico. while north Of
Norfolk, Va. it will be partial. In the

is none SO profoundly impressive and
awe-inspiring as total eclipse of the
sun, and a trip to those regions of the
country through which shadow of
the moon will pass on the 2Sth of May
is well worth undertaking. 1t scarce
ly admits of any doubt that many
thousand people of the northern and
middle States of the Union will 60 to
see phenomenon which comparative
ly few people have ever had the pri
vilege of beholding. The average
breadth of the eclipse track will be
nearly sixty miles.
A second eclipse Of the sun will oc-
cur on the 21st of the November. 1t
will be annular, but not visible in this
country. A partial eclipse of the moon
will take place on the 18th Of June,
though it will not be visible in this

DISSATISFIED REPUBLICANS.
Or. Wise's Followers Not in Accord with
the State Convention.

The friends and followers of DIR
Richard A. Wise are thoroughly dis
satisfied with the Republican Stat
Convention, and especially with th'
Committee on Credentials of that body
The delegates from the Second District
who were elected in the different citiei
and counties under the call of Mr.. s
b. Carney, chairman, expressed theil
disaffection by adopting a series OF
resolutions setting forth their senti
ments. This was done at a meeting
held at the Atlantic Ho'el. after the
State Convention bad practically re.
fused to consider their claims, and af-
ter the protest of Mr.. Alvah H. Martin.
Mr.. Fl. 2. Brooks was made chair
man Of this meeting, with Mr.. 8. w.
Lyons as secretary, and these we're the
resolutions adopted:
Resolved, That we most solemnly
protest against the action of the com
mittee on credentials of the State Con-
vention in not giving us hearing as
contestants before said committee and
in declining to hear testimony as to
the legality of our delegation.
Resolved further, That we do not rec
ognize any organization IN this district
but that represented by 8. n. Carney,
chairman of said district, who was, af-
ter full hearing of all claimants be
fore the National Republican Commit
tee, declared to represent the true and
lawful committee of SAID district, and
who has since been re elected without
contest to said position.
Resolved further, That we do not
recognize as Republicans in fact those
persons who have passed as Republi
cans, but have lent aid and assistance
to the Democrats of this district, both
in the election of a Congressman and
in giving testimony in his behalf.
Resolved further, That we pledge
our hearty support to the Hon. Rich
ard A. Wise, who has been duly re-
for Congress.
Resolved further, That the arbitrary
action of this convention in not seat
ing those who had supported and elect
ed the only Congressman for Virginia,
sustaIns and verifies the charges made
on the floor of Congress by the Hon. J.
A. 7. Hull in the recent contest of
Wise vs.. Young; that the pr esent State
of the Republican party
in Virginia only desired that the party
shall be large enough to fill the Fed
eral offices.

stock would mature is not binding up

association and the amount paid in

was only to share in the earnings, and
the association could not bind itself

The Southern is really in seventh

| 1t is surprising to some people to
find SO many well-known roads Of the
East with comparatively small mile
age. The Boston and Albany is only
994 miles long. In other words, the
road that unites the Hub with the
capital of the Empire State. and is one
of the busiest and richest roads on the
| Continent, is scarcely more than one
twentieth as long as the Burlington
route. The Fitchburg road, favorably
known, not only in New England, hut
all over the country, is exactly 458 miles
long, and its mileage would have to he
multiplied by seventeen to get within
hailing distance of the mileage of the
Burlington. The Lackawanna Line,
which has become widely known as a
great trunk line since western enter
prise came to direct its management,
is less than 1000 miles long, and might
be absorbed as a branch line by any
one Of a half-dozen western railroads.
THE LENGTH IS IN THE NAME.
Some railroads with but little mile
age have been endowed with uncom-
monly.long names. The Beaver Mea-
dow, Tresckow and New Boston rail-
road has all of three miles of track
built and in actual operation. Some
lday the superintendent of the depart
ment of motive power and machinery
of the Beaver Meadow, Tresckow and
New Boston railroad may take a trip
over his own line, stretching from
Beaver Meadow, Pa, all the way to
New Boston, Pa, total distance of
twenty one miles.
The Manitou and Pixies Peak rail-
road, the famous cog wheel road as
cending Colorado s lofty peak, is nine
!: miles long, but if you tried to walk
the ties of this railroad you would
think it had a mileage of 999 miles.
The Cairo railroad is four miles long,
and there is a small road in the Cats
kill mountains which has mileage of
two miles.
The most popular length of the near
ly 900 American railroads appears to
less than ten miles. There are over
, 600 railroads less than this distance in
length. There are many other inter
esting features which cursory ex
animation of the mileage of American
. railroads will disclose. But if you
want to collect few bets from your
friends, just ask them to name the
!, four longest railroads in America.
