throng of spectators. Folks arrived to
view the evening ceremonies in all man

prominent.
Nearly everybody retired early last even

work this morning. An evidence of the
large number of visitors to camp yesterday
was the fact that the owner of a bus en-

headquarters knoll suggested something to
Lieut. OVerton. When the salute had been
given the drill instructor very quickly

camp to go to Washington this morning to
convey a personal message from the COM

Major Davidge will learn definitely Just
when Secretary Root, General Miles and
other War Department officials will visit
Camp Ordway.
The drill period this morning was from
I:13 to 9:15 o'clock, instead of from 8 to

cided upon in order to permit the officers
and men to witness the target and other

General Harries quietly announced yes
terday that he had recommended Staff Ser

captain of Company B. Sd Battalion. an
organization which at the present exists
only on paper. The commission has been
signed by the President and is ready for
delivery.
Ever since the organization of the Dis
trict brigade Captain Corvaizier has been
an earnest, constant and untiring worker
for the good of the command. His last
enlistment expired the day preceding the
one the guard came to Leesburg. The pro-
motion is in the ne ture of a well-merited
reward Tor long and meritOriOuS service.
Captain Corvaizier was thoroughly sur

1.-THE directors Of the state dispen-
sary rearranged the salaries OF the
county dispensers and their clerks this
week. In no case was there q reduc-
tion Of salary. The increases were
based on the increase Of business dur
ing the fiscal year 1900 and the first
half of 1901. The salary Of the Lam
caster dispenser was increased IS per
month. making it s65. The clerk was
also raised $50 to s35. The salary of
the dispenser at Kershaw was also
raised from $50 to $65 per month and
his clerks from $50 to $35. The sala-
ries of 35 other dispensers and of Il
other clerks were also increased In
amounts ranging from SIS to $40 per

temperance in the state according to
it's original purpose.

years three regular lines Of first-class
steamships have been established be-
tween New York and Mediterranean
ports. Now Boston Is to have a new
line Of its own to the same ports. Two
new direct lines to South American
points are under way. Ships are sail
ing direct from Gulf Of Mexico ports
to European and Asiatic countries.
The services Of the various lines be-
tween the United States and the is
lands Of the West Indies have been
brought almost to perfection. Soon we
shall have great ships sailing regular
ly to the Philippines.
But steam does not run all the world
not quite. Sailing vessels Of huge
dimensions are being built by Ameri-
cans. They are good for large car
goes and long voyages. They do not
require so many men, they do not
cost so much in operation. and so they
are being improved, developed and run
at a profit. Within a few weeks the
keel will be laid for the first Of seven
seven-masted steel schooners. "destin-
ed" to quote from the announcement,
Ito be the largest and greatest cargo
carrying craft of that type ever put
af1oat." And yet after all 1t is hard to
get away from steam, for these sail
ing ships will be steered and heated
by steam.
It Is a wonderful total that these
new enterprises make, not only in the
millions Of their cost but in the vast
additions to the carrying trade Of the
world. And yet 1t will take some years
for us to capture the seas as we'll as

AS AEsOP MIGHT HAVE TOLD 1T.

A Story From Alaska of a Clever
Trick Played by Two Ravens on
a Puppy.
A Jerseyman, writing home from
southern Alaska, tells the following
story:
II happened to see with my own
eyes the other day, clever trick play
ed by pair Of ravens, which carried
me back to old Aesop and his fables,
for here as I gazed, was one Of the
venerable tales acted out In real life.
"a silly little pup was playing about
when he came upon a nice, tasty bone.
was watching him worry the bone
and was enjoying the pleasure he SEEM
ed to get out of 1t. when down dropped
two ravens. They wanted that bone:
1t stuck out all over them, their desire
and their eyes shone with the lust Of
conquest.
"They fiuttered about for some time,
but 10, the pup. paid no attention. He
wouldn't be fooled, and could scarcely
keep from laughing to see how adroit
the ravens were and how stubborn the
pup was.
Finally one raven sneaked behind
Joe, and scuttled up until he was per-
haps two feet from the pups tail. The
other raven remained in front, fiutter-
ing here and there, just enough to keep
the dogs attention on him. When the
raven in the rear had gained proper
position, that is had crept close enough.
the willy old bird in front began TO
Jump up and down. I was bewildered
at first. l couldn't make out what the
birds were up to for the longest while,
and when the jumping process began
I was more mystified than ever. until
the dog. distracted by the jumping pro-
cess. stopped worrying the bone and
looked up. Then I realized with an
awesome feeling that those ravens
were up to something pretty close to
human. I confess 1t scared me bit;
1t made the birds seem diabolical. and
1 found snatches of Poe's verses on the
immortal birds of this feather running
through my head.
Gradually the jumping bird drew
nearer and nearer to 10. Alas for the
pups innocence! ! held my breath as
the sable charmer tapped closer and
closer to Joe's smutty nose. Suddenly
JOS jaws clicked. Almost at the same
instant there was a fiutter. a plunge
from the rear and the bird behind the
pup had the bone.
1t was done so quickly that my eyes
could scarcely follow 1t. When the
raven in front got too near. 10 raised
his head from the bone and snapped at
the bird. He missed the raven, and
forgetting the bone and everything
else, made plunge for the bird. Then

PLACE THE BUTTON IN THE RIGHT
PLAcE.-Mrs. Mclean, a young Scotch
mother, decidedly deficient in govern
ment. had great trouble to keep her
2-year-old boy from running into the
streets of the village. The little wo-
man was greatly terrified lest her ro-
bust son should be trampled by horses
on some of his forbidden excursions.
She had just returned from an ex-
hausting run after him, and was clos
ing the front yard gate when the old
teamster, Donald McTavish, a good
home disciplinarian, by the way, drove
along on his way home.
"Oh, dear" said the little woman, Il
have such time to keep this boy out
of the streets. I am discouraged,
What shall I do, Mr.. McTavish?"
What have ye been doing, Mrs. Nc
Lean?"
"Oh, I first buttoned the gate but
he soon found out how to open 1t.
put the button higher out of his reach,
and in a day or two he found how to
climb up to it. I hid the box he
climbed up on, and he found another.
I then put the button as high up as 1t
would go on the fence, and now he gets
a stick and opens the gate. What shall
I do?"
"Ah, my Teddy, We dinna know how
to do it. Put the button on the boy"
replied the old Scotchman.

SOUTHERN MAN FOR PRESIDENT.
VIM. j. Bryan Contributes to the
Current Discussion.

VIM. j. Bryan Contributes to the
Current Discussion.
William Jennings Bryan, the once
popular idol of the Democratic party,
declares in the last issue Of The Com
moner that all political customs should
be done away with and that South
ern man should be nominated to lead
the Democratic ticket in the next
presidential campaign.
He says:
For a quarter Of a century the
Southern States have been ignored IN
the selection of candidates. The Re-
publicans have had but few white
Republicans in the South to choose
from, and the Democrats Of the South
have voluntarily renounced their call
ing out Of fear that they might embar-
rass the ticket. Certainly we are far
enough away from the civil war; GER
tainly the passions aroused by that
conflict are sufficiently cooled to per-
NIT a Southern man to aspire to the
presidential chair or the vice presi-
dency. Even before the Spanish war
called into the volunteer army both
Federal and Confederate, the South
had earned its right to be considered
a part of the union; but surely the
coming Of the sons Of those who wore
the blue and the sons Of those who
wore the gray and their servince side
by side at Santiago and at Manila,
ought to silence those who have
thought it unwise to place Southern
man on the ticket. Slavery has gone
never to be restored again, and the
democracy now dominant both north
and south comes nearer to the ideals OF
Jefferson and Lincoln than does the
commercialism Of Hanna or the imper-
ialism Of Roosevelt. It is not yet time
to select candidates for 1904; but when
the time arrives the Democratic vo-
ters should see to it that the platform
represents their wishes and that the
candidates fit the platform. II some
one living south Of the Mason-Dixon
line is chosen for either the first or
second position on the ticket, the place
of residence will not weaken him-not,
though he be an ex-Confederate SOL
dier. We are engaged in a mighty
struggle against plutocracy and we
need the whole nation to pick from
when we select our standard bearers.
Merit not section, should determine
the nomination: fidelity to principle,
not locality, should control"

FUNERALS COME HIGH.-In a certain
North Dakota town, says the New
York Mail and Express, there are two
physicians, one elderly. with a long
record, of course, the other young
with his record still to make. The old
er doctor was inclined to surrender
some Of his night work to the younger
man. An exchange cities an instance
in which this turning over" was at
tempted.
One winters night DR.. B. was reused
by two farmers from a hamlet ten
miles away, the wife of one of whom
was seriously i'll. He told them to &c
to the other doctor; but they refused
saying they preferred his services.
Very WE'LL" replied DR.. B., thinking
to put a convincing argument before
them. I'm that case my fee is $40, the
money to be paid now"
The men demonstrated, but the doc
tor was obdurate and shut down the
window. He waited, however, to hear
what they would say.
well, what shall we do now?" ask
ed the farmer whose wife was i'll.
The reply must have been as graft
flying as it was amusing to the listen
ing doctor. 1t was:
II think you had better give it. The
funeral would cost you more.

There are several curious features in

panic that would sweep from Maine

Great Britain has held on so long be-

But the change Is coming. Ameri-

of their success, and they are doing
this with a rush, as these facts will

A western syndicate Is establishing
a new route to the East by way Of
Manzanillo, on the southern coast of
Mexico, which will make the route
from New York to Japan or China
