THE transfers of real estate in Nor
gantown were never so frequent and
the prices paid are eloquent testimon
ials of the faith that the people here
have in the future Of the town. More
sales have been made in the past few
days than there has been in the his
tory of the town. The dealings are
expected to keep up during the coming
summer.
The burning of an out building
across the river on Saturday afternoon
caused the fire whistle to be blown a
few times. The alarm although a
very weak one was enough to bring
every body out Of the house and for a
time there was a great deal of excite
ment. As soon as it was discovered
where the fire was the excitement was
over.
ALL the arrangements for the
grand masked ball to be held at the
Turn Verein hall in Seneca on Wed
nesday evening have been completed
and there is no question about 1T be-
ing brilliant affair. A great many
visitors will be present among them
quite number OF strangers from a
distance. Refreshments will be
served during the evening.
MARvINs cakes, bread and pies at
the DelicateSsen.
THE regular term of court will be-
gin on Tuesday morning. The atten-
dance is not expected TO be very large
from over the county on account of
the bad roads and the smallpox scare
that has unaccountably seized on some
of the country people. They need not
feel the slightest alarm as there is
absolutely no suspicion Of the disease
here But some of them do feel a
little timid about coming to town.
REGULAR board can be had at the
Deiicatessen for $50 rer week.
Nothing that will approach it can be
had for the money elsewhere in thi
vicinity.

ATTACKING THE ARMY CANTEEN.
Report OF Army OmciaIs Calls Ont
Opposing Reply.


WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE report, of
Secretary Root, Gen. Corbin and other
army officials, on the army canteen, sent
to the military COMMITTEES TO-DAY, mas
called out reply, which was hled with
the military committee, by Rev. Wilbur
E. Crafts Of the reform bureau, and Mrs.
Margaret Dye Ellis, the legislative superin-
tendent of the w. C. I. U. 1t says in
part:
''The administration yesterday for the
first time, came out openly in favor OF
army liquor selling on Its merits Hither-
to the plea has been that the administra-
ton could not suppress canteens because
the law of congress was ambiguous. Both
Secretary Root and President Mckinley
recently said that If congress would speak
in plain terms, they would enforce the law.
This attitude has now been abandoned
and the secretary of war. whose acts and
as those of the president, has come out in
open advocacy Of liquor selling canteens.
Secretary Root apparently oblivious of
the new anti-canteen developments In the
British and French armies, said yester-
day In an official communication to con-
gress:
81 think the enactment of this bill
would be injurious to the temperance,
of the army
Gen. Corbin. in declaring that probibi-
ton cannot be made effective in the army,
forgets the success of railroads in secur-
ing abstinence, and his reference TO bene-
fits of canteens in Manila Is particularly
unfortunate for his case, in view of the
conclusive testimony as to the unparalleled
drunkenness and insanity of our soldiers
there.
I'VE are charitably seeking some credit
able excuse for Gen. Corbin's statement
and aggressive saloon interests are work
ing together to suppress the canteens in
the face OF the fact that the liquor papers
have unanimously opposed the anti-can-
teen"

ARMY OFFICERS CONCERNED
Think the war Department Should
Appeal to Congress for an In
crease In Enlisted Strength.

NEW YORK, May ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Army officers are becoming more con-
cerned than ever over the danger believed
to be involved In the policy adopted by
the war department authorities In not APP
pealins to congress to provide for per-
manent increase in the enlisted strength
at the present session. The necessity of
a continuance of all the present available
force in the Philippines for at least an
other year Is now regarded as indisput-
able, yet under existing law It Is Inn
perative that a beginning must be made
not later than November in the repatria-
ton of the troops serving there.
In the Philippines there are 81, 600 reg
ulars and $4,000 volunteers. BY July 1
OF next year all these volunteers must
have been discharged from the service
and the entire regular army on duty In
the United States and the islands must
lars for duty in the United States. Puerto
Rico, Alaska and Hawaii, at least $1,000
men must be brought home from the
Philippines before. the end of the next
transport facilities, neglecting chartered
tramp steamers which are hardly fit to
carry mules and forage, 1t will take at
least six months to return and discharge
the number of men essential to reduce the
army to its authorized strength. 1t is
declared to be out Of the question to at
tempt any reduction of the force in the
Philippines just now, when as a matter
of fact many operations have been in
effective for lack of force, and II is fear
ed that when reductions begin in Mo-
vember the departure of troops will have
a disastrous effect by giving encourage
ment to Tagal leaders.
But this Is nothing compared to the
danger of prOtracted debate over the pro-
posed permanent increase In the next
session OF congress. Little can be ex-
pected in the way of such legislation In
December or January. and prominent Of
ficers frankly declare that the matter
should be settled this summer.
