The Word "AdmiraI."

The word admiral is of Arabic
origin, and dates back to the time of
the Crusades; 1t is but another form of
the familiar Eastern titles, Emir and
Ameer, and simply signifies prince. The
d is intrusive and there is no connec-
ton with the Latin mare" the sea. or
with the root from which we get ad-
miral. In European mouths the word
has been variously contorted; the Teu-
tonic races have introduced the D and
suffixed, instead prefixing the article;
or we may consider it as a contraction
OF some such phrase as Admir- al Bahr.
prince of the sea. The Portuguese,
again, have taken the article for the
first syllable, and make Almirante, but
there can be no doubt as to the identity
of the word. AS a nation the Arabs
were never a maritime power. but after
their conquest OF Spain they found It
necessary to have a naval force. and
from them both once and name were
adopted by the neighboring Powers.

An Historic Farm.

The Warwick farm of SIS acres, five
miles from Spring Field, Chester Coun-
ty, Pa, around which cluster interest
Ing memories, was the other day sold
by the heirs of Thomas X. Sterrett t.
Albert Maerz, of Reading, for 312, 900.
On the farm stood the old Warwick
furnace, built in $780, and at which
many Of the cannons used in the Rev.
olutionary army were cast. In the
meadows many of them were buried to
prevent them from falling into the
hands of the British after the battle of
Brandywine, in 1777, when General
Washington and his army were re-
treating northward through Chester
County leaving this important iron
furnace exposed to the mercy of the
enemy.
Several of the cannons were dug up
and some sent to the Centennial Expo
sition in Philadelphia in 1876 and ex-
hibited as relics. The old bell cast in
l777 at this furnace and used in the
belfry for great number of years is
now in Independence Hall, in Philadel-
phia, as a relic.

A few months later she married Valen-

prevented with the same authority that
he put stop to the bull fights of the

Malays. He, however, permitted that

did it in the interest of the American
distiler and brewer, and evidently for
the purpose of capturing in second
election the saloon vote.
Then, quoting the question of another,
the editor of the Methodist pointedly
asks:
What could the boss distiler, brewer,
or saloon-keeper of this country have
done for the saloon if he had been
president that Mckinley has not done?
Let the reader not get angry, but
calmly and candidly think that query
over.

Suffering Porto Rico.

From the Philadelphia North American
Dispatches from Porto Rico show that
the condition of the island which well
coined our troops so enthusiastically is
most deplorabe. "There is no money
to plant new crops or to pay laborers,
thousands Of whom are on the point of
starvation. The local press expresses
the opinion that the conditions were
better during the darkest days of the
Spanish regime
Imagine that, and try to put yourself
in the place of the American citizen
who is willing to have that shame re-
main upon the American flag because
he thinks that if the starving Porto
Ricans were allowed to sell their pro-
ducts freely in our markets, as the
president has recommended, bis profits
might be diminished by their competi-
tion.
Suppose that when we were expanding
so blithely in August, 1S9s-when the
Porto Ricans were scattering flowers
before our invading soldiers and shout
ing "Vivan los Americanos!'-som
cynical, unpatriotic, Small American

have seen their best days. Spain has
been their true benefactor. Spain has
made them prosperous. Under our rule
their industries will decay, their labor
ers will starve, their crops will rot on
their wharves, and we shall let them 90
to ruin, so that they may not bother us
in our markets." What should we have
said to the base libeer Of his country?
The present condition of Porto Rico
would have been absolutely incredible
and inconceivable to Americans of two
years ago. We thought we knew our
own hearts, and we should have said
with entire confidence that wherever
our flag went it would 60 as messen-
