Montagu White, long Consul General
of the South African Republic 1.-THE
Transvaal) at London, is in Washing
ton on some sort of mission in be-
half of the struggling Beers. He has
been received in his private capacity
by Secretary of State Hay. 1t is not
positively known whether Mr.. White
is the bearer of diplomatic credentials
to this Government, but it is certain
that he is here to help the Transvaal
if way can be found by which this
can be done. There was meeting of
people in one of the vaudeville thea
tres in Washington last Sunday night
which professed to have for its object
the helping of the Boer cause 1t was
addressed by lot of cheap Democrat
ic politicians, who care nothing about
helping the Beers, but hope to hurt
the Republican party and the present
administration. OF course meeting
of such people under such demagogic
auspices will only hurt the Boer cause
and help the Republican party and the
present administration.

The principal event in the Senate
this week was the report of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
against the right of former Senator
Quay of Pennsylvania to seat in the
Senate by virtue of an appointment by
Governor Stone after the Legislature
had adorned after weeks of vain ball
loting for his successor. There was a
minority report in his favor. The best
opinion seems to be that he will not
be seated, even if the Senate ever
votes directly on the case, which is
regarded as iii doubt.

A bill has been prepared and will
be introduced in the Legislature pro-
viding for the enactment of a law ex-
empting from taxation charitable and
religious institutions, such as Young
Mems Christian Association build
ings, Rescue Missions and the like.
The measure provides that the property
must be used in part by the institution
or organization owning it, and that
the entire income from the building
must be used for the purposes of such
organization, although partly support
ed by fees and charges received from
beneficiaries.

NOW IT IS A MILK WAR
MAKE PROTEST AGAINST PRICI
AND EXISTING CONDITION.


West Chester, March 2S.-Milk men
Of this and neighboring counties and
the milk condensing plant at Malvern
are engaged in a lively war over an
agreement which the latter wants the
former to sign. The agreement fixes
the price of milk as follows: For milk
delivered in April, 1900, S1.20 per 100
pounds; May, 81; June, 80 cents; July
95 cents; August. 80 cents; September
.$1.25. The agreement also provides
that evenings and mornings milk
shall not be mixed until both are thor
oughly cooled; that milk higher than
60 Fahrenheit at time Of shipment will
mot be accepted; that it shall be deliver
ed in spring wagons, and a suitable
covering provided for the cans so that
dust or dirt cannot collect thereon, and
that the wagons must not be used for
hauling any substance likely to affect
the milk.
The milk men held a big mass meet
ing at Malvern Monday, and resolved
not to accept less than "a cents pei
quart for their milk, and to demand
a radical modification of the company's
agreement. The feeling is running
very high among the farmers. who de-
clare their purpose to take their mill
elsewhere unless the company re-
cedes from the position it has taken.

GOATS IN HISTORY.

Originally the common or domestic
goat was a native OF the highlands OF
Asia. Naturalists generally regard it
as having descended from an animal
found In the Caucasus mountains and
the hill country OF Persia, called in
the Persian language the pesang. It's
legs are longer than those of the com
mon goat and its horns are much larg-
er
The common goat has existed as a
domestic animal in oriental countries
from the earliest times. From there
Il spread all over the world, manifest
ing a remarkable adaptability TO eli
mate and circumstances. In this varia-
tion OF surroundings great diversity OF
breeds has appeared. such as the An
CORA goat. the Syrian goat. the Cash
mere goat, the Guinea goat OF Africa
and many others.
No quadruped, except the dog, has
shown such susceptibility OF variation
These differences show most markedly
in the quality and quantity OF the
hair and IN the relative abundance ol
the two coats. the long, silky outer
covering and the softer woolly hail
beneath IL.
Among the Greeks and the Roman.
the goat was sacrificed 10 Bacchui
because OF its tendency to iniur'
grapevines by eating the young ten
drills and leaves. All the species o
goats are natives OF the old world. Thl
Rocky mountain goat. so-called. o
North America, really belongs to tn
antelope family.
