BEGIN AGAIN.
Was Discharged from the
Inebriate Asylum.

Everyone in Oakdale knew when Tom
Sands was sent to an inc briate asylum.
His mother was born in the village,
and, although she now lived, and had
for many years lived, in New
York city, all the village people were
interested in her and her family.
When Tom was discharged, cured, he
went up to his grandfather's farm in
tOakdale, and all the village made ready
TO help him and give him good advice.
The old ladies shook hands with him
silently, shaking their heads as over
a dead body; the old men spoke many
plain words of warning.
ITO think of your going down that
low, Thomas! AT your age!"
Had you no thought of your mother?
hear her hairs turned white in these
last two years"
These were some of the greetings
which he received, and his cd friends
who said nothing followed him with
meaning glances as a criminal con-
demned to death.
The old doctor gave dinner for Tom
Sands, to which the foremost men in
the county were asked. He knew that
the young fellow had made a hobby
of geology, and asked him TO give them
his views on the chances of finding oil
or natural gas on their farms. Tom
was interested and talked well; the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-12-26

mn listened respectfully. They were
cordial and friendly. After they were
gone the doctor and Tom discussed the
chances if Tom should take up the oil
business, showing him that he expect
ed him to make a success with his
knowledge and shrewdness.
"You forget one thing" the young
man said, bitterly, that | am just out
of an asylum for drunk1sds. You have
not reminded me of it once"
"Why should l remind you of it?''
said the doctor, earnestly. "Why
should you remind yourself of it?
When a man, with Gods hep, has
strangled vice, is he to sit brooding
over the foul thing for the rest of his
life? Garry it about with him as a
criminal used to do, chained to the
dead body he had killed? No; forget
1T, Tom. Waken the other man that
is in you, strong, clean, helpful. Leave
the old sin to Gods mercy, and begin
again, boy-begin again"
There are many lads who need this
counsel as much as Tom Sands

were two sisters. Adna was born in
the year 1912.
When Adna was IA years of age his
mother died. Later his father mar
ried again. The second wife had also
been married before, and was the
mother of IL children. 1t was a large
school attendance furnished by this
household, and it was only by the
greatest economy and industry that
the children were reared and given an
educational start. Adna, at the age of
16, went to work on a farm in an ad-
joining county. Here his proficiency
was demonstrated in the corn field
and at the pillow. What he did he did
well, and he accomplished a great deal
for a man of his age.
Then, says the Chicago Chronicle,
came the days when Chaffee's first OPP
portunity opened to him to join the
army, and this he improved, as did
likewise two of his brothers. Early
in 81 he enlisted in the Sixth United
States cavalry. In bidding good-by to
his brothers and sisters in going to
the front he impressed upon them
the determination that under no cir
cumstances would he allow any SOL
der to excel him in point of perfect
performance of his duty, and he
never has. Howard Chaffee, a broth
er, who now resides in Trumbull
county, enlisted in the Sixth Ohio
cavalry. George Chaffee, another
brother, now living in Nashville,
Tenn, enlisted in the Twenty-fifth
Illinois as drummer boy in May,
1862, at the age of 10 years. Three
months later he was trans ferred to
the Fourteenth Ohio battery of fly-
ing artillery, and here served until
the close of the war. He was wound.
ed in the battle of Bull Run.
Gen. Chaffee, it will be remem-
bered, was appointed to take COM
mand of the army in the Philippines
as successor to Gen. Macarthur. The
appointment, of course, was made
by the late President Mckinley, who
believed he saw in the rising Chaffee
the right man for the place, so i'm
portant at this time. The ceremonies
attending the turning over of the
military control to Gen. Chaffee were
most elaborate. Later Chaffee made
a tour of the islands in order to rec.
ommend such changes in the civil gov.
eminent as seemed most necessary.

HONORED IN ORWELL
Little Ohio Town Is Proud of Gen.
Adna R. Chaffee.
Present Commander In Chief of the
Army In the Philippines Passed
the Days of His BOyhOOd
Working on a Farm,

From a humble country home at
Orwell, o., Gen. Adna Il. Chaffce
climbed out in the world and up the
ladder to his present high position
that of commander of the United
States army in the Philippine islands
and he is the first private in the
regular army to be elevated to such
an exalted office. Through his tact
and bravery during the charge of Ell
Caney and then in the campaign in
China, where he was also commander
of the United States forces, his name
became a pleasant topic of American
conversation, and his friends believe
that still greater things are yet to be
accomplished for the republic at his
hands.
Little did his young companions
think as they played with him about
snow forts in the fields of Orwell that
Adna was some day to command great
armies on real backgrounds. Memo
ries of playmate days, however, go
to show that Chaffee's love for things
military was very pronounced at the
eiihC LlC "ho dtbCllNIhS blIC llbblO dlo-
trict school and the old-fashioned
Methodist Sunday school of his native
locality. In a retrospect of his career
his early command of the SNOWFALL
forces loom up forcibly. He is born
leader of men.
Chaffee's father was a farmer. He
also engaged at odd moments in the
vocation of cabinet making. The
mother possessed all the qualifica-
tions of the typical good woman of the
early days of the western reserve.
She spent much of her time at the
spinning wheel and in weaving home
spun garments which in childhood
were worn by Americas great general
of to-day, and her greatest ambition
was to rear her sons and daughters to
be useful men and women. 1t was not
a small family that required the at
tention of this fond mother. Adna's
brothers numbered ten, and there

take case early in the morning, go on
the steam cars to the point to be in

master, who would provide a livery
team and go with me over the pro-
posed route.
mo route is permitted to be more
than 25 miles in length. When you re-
member that the horses and driver
must go over the route every day in
the year, excepting Sundays and ma
tional holidays, you will understand
that the strain is such that it would be
physically impossible to keep the pace
on a longer route without breaking
down. At some seasons of the year it
is practically impossible for the teams
TO traverse the roads. For example,
last May and June the roads were we'll
nigh impossible, the rain seeming to
be continuous by day and by night for

at being settled by the department
that no route shall be more than 25
miles long, the postmaster prepares

ready for the special agent when he
calls. In each case send word a week
in advance, so that every postmaster
would have plenty of time to get ready

TEMPERANCE FACTS.

Arrests for drunkenness in 1879
cities of the United States are said to
aggregate $4,000 during the last ifs
cal year.
DIR. Wynn Westcott, an English
coroner, says: 1t is very rare that
a teetotaler takes his own life. Dur
ing the year 1899 he held So inquests
upon suicides, 81 being males and 81
females, not one of whom was a
total abstainer.
At the bottom of the wonderful
physical vitality of the Turkish race
is the universal abstinence of the
common people. They are the most
abstemfous race on the earth and the
healthiest. The soldiers, peasants,
merchants and members of the
learned professions never touch alco-
hol, although the upper classes of
Constantinople drink considerably.
The sale of liquor by religious as
Sociations in France is causing con-
siderable comment at the present
public opinion will make itself felt in
Rome and an end made of the
iniquity. The Evangelist quotes NJ.
Clemenceau as stating that five re-
Hgious communities sell wine whole
sale; six sell liquor wholesale; two
sell alcohol exclusively; four sell
liquors retail; seven converts are
patented as distillers, and nine as
inns, with billiard playing allowed"
All together there are 1850 religious
establishments in France carrying on
some kind of mercantile traffic.

RURAL NAIL ROUTES
Sixty Thousand Petitions for This
Service Now on File.
now the Delivery Districts Are Laid
Out and Organized-Great Help
to the Good Roads
Movement.

((T>HERE are more than 5000
rural free delivery routes
now in operation" says the
first assistant postmaster general,
land there are upwards of 10000 petit
| lions on file for this service. They
come from all parts of the country"
Did you say 10000 applicat ions?"
"Yes, upwards of that number; and
petitions are coming in every day, and
by every mail. The people have read
of this innovation for the benefit of
the farm dweilers, and they are deter
mined to take advantage of it. Farm
ers for many years have reasoned that
as citizens of this republic they are as
much entitled to have their mail de-
livered at their residences as are the
citizens who dwell in towns and cities.
"Of course, at first there were very
few farmers who reasoned that way;
but their number increased gradually
until their views compelled recogni-
ton. When this service began, six
years ago, it was undertaken ina half
hearted manner. But when Perry
Heath took it up in 1897, with char
acteristic energy, the service soon be-
gan to become practical as well as
practicable.
"We first had an appropriation of
$4,000. Then we got 100000. Then
we asked for more and more, until last
year we had $1.750,O0O for the work.
But during the present fiscal year we

ahead with considerable alacrity in
the work; but for the next fiscal year
we should have not less than $5,000,-
600; and we hope to secure appropria-
tions for $4,000, 900 and that will en-
able us to do business on bigger scale
than we have been able to work hither-
to. Of course, this work has been eX-
perimental for several years, but now
it is beyond that stage, and is in prac-
teal operation. Therefore it must be
maintained"
One of the special agents who has
been engaged in the establishment of
these routes explained the manner of
work in an interesting manner. He
said: when petition is received by
the department, it is jacketed, indeXed,
and referred to its proper field divi-
sion. For example, suppose petition
comes in from any state west of the
Mississippi river. 1t would belong to
the western division, which has head
quarters at Denver, Col. The special
agent in charge of that vast division
is William E. Amin, a veteran news
paper man, who was for a number of
years a Washington correspondent of
some leading newspapers.
"Well, when case is thus received
at division headquarters, it is proper
ly filed, and then referred to a special
agent in the field. / have Just been

sional district of Iowa, and will tell
you how the work has been done. In

cases for that district. The congress
man, Mr.. Hull, had Endorsed every
petition. Without his Endorsement
nothing would have been done in any
case.

HATED MEN TILL DEATH.
Austrian woman Who Adhered to q
Lifelong Antipathy for the
Sterner Sex.

There has recently died at Vienna
an aged spinster, Fraulein Marie Irr-
gang, whose especial pride through
life was that she was man hater.
She was loyal to her sex antagonism
to the last, and throughout her life
gave no signs of wavering. In her
will she directed that no man should
be allowed to take part in her fu-
neral procession, says a London ex-
change.
An early disappointment in love is
believed to have been the cause of
Marie's hatred of the mere man."
She was member of society called
the Jungfrauen verein, an association
of old girls and young girls who had
been converted to the anti-man views
of Fraulein Irrgang. Though the
fraulein decreed that no man should
take part in her funeral procession,
she could not prevent men from
looking on, and the streets through
which the procession passed were
thronged with the male animals she
so much detested, gazing curiously at
lllC L lie procession
was composed of an immense throng
of women of all ages and all social
conditions and of deputies from
every woman's society in Austria.
But Marie's directions were not car.
ried out to the letter after all, for
the banner of the Jungfrauen verein
was so heavy that no woman could
be found who was strong enough to
carry it. So it was borne aloft BY
one of the hated sex, who marched
along, the only man in the process
sion.
Fraulein Irrgang had a rival in
Fraulein Gretchen Marie Schultz, an
old maiden lady of Berlin, who was
known throughout Germany as ''the
man-hater." Having had an unfortu.
nate love affair so years ago, she
vowed that she never would speak to
or if possible look upon a man again
as long as she lived, and, being
woman of wealth, she was able to
keep her VOW until her death not
long ago. She bought a retired house
about a dozen miles from Berlin and
equipped it from basement to gar
ret with furnishings made by the
hands of women. She surrounded
herself with a band of women each
of whom took similar vow of per-
petual hatred of the opposite sex,
and so skillfully were things man
aged that for so years the fraulein
neither saw nor spoke to man or boy.
Another man-hater, and one who
carried her hatred beyond the tomb,
was Marie Lenoir, who died in Paris
a few months ago. By her will she
left her whole estate, valued at $751;
0C0, in trust to two women of her
acquaintance holding similar views
with herself regarding men, ''to be
used in waging warfare in such rays
as may seem fitting to them against
the selfishness and tyranny of man."
