Mr.. EDITOR "A word of ex-
planation on 4th of July celebra-
tion if you please. 1t has been
noticed in the columns of your
paper, among the items of your
local writer's, that some were dis
appointed at not having some
prominent speakers as advertis-
ed, others called it an ice cream
social &C., and the program has
been denounced as fake by a
few leather heads.
We wish to say to them that
arrangements Swere fully made
for everything that was advertis-
ed.
AS for disappointments we
could not help that. There are
people who are very eaisly disap-
pointed when it costs nothing. If
there had been an admission fee
to hear those speakers advertised
the writer of that item, no doubt,
would have been mute. The
greatest sympathy, indeed, is ex-
tended to the man who saw only
the ice cream stand.
We heartily thank, and feel our
obligation toward those who as
sisted us on that day. We appre-
ciate their kindness.
Congratulations are extended
to few sore-heads who tried by
their wide spread influence to
make the day dead failure by
previously telling people that no.
body would attend. We congrat-
ulate them on their failure. We
had good crowd, well behaved,
and with big hearts. We appre-
ciated everybody's presence
For the disappointed, we feel sor-
ry. We did our best under the
circumstances.

There never was paper in any
locality that gave all the news,
says an exchange. 1t is often
that some persons come and go
that the editor does not see. 1t
happens that a family is missed
several times. They get the i'm
preston that the paper does not
care to mention them or has a
drudge against them. 1t is a
mistake. The paper has no i'll
feeling, no spite, no enmity a.
gainst anybody. Most people
take the local paper. Don't be
afraid to give the Editor or Re-
porter news of interest. Perhaps
you think the paper has shown
partiality but try and see IL il
dent treat you we'll II given a
chance.

The Chambersburg Reposito-

a snake story. We have never
heard it before and it is therefore
new to us. Here it is "Mr.
Abram Stouffer's COW did not re-
turn for several days, therefore,
Mr.. Stouffer instituted a search
for her in the mountains and
about three miles from home was
successful in finding her. A
large black snake had fastened
one end of itself to the cows tail,
wrapped itself around the tree
near which the COW was standing
and was imbibing the lacteal flu
id. We have not yet been able to
learn whether the COW has been
rescued.

We feel very grateful for the
prompt response made by a num-
Der of our friends to whom we
last week sent statements of
over due subscription accounts.
1t sometime happens that a per-
son will take a newspaper year
or two and not say word about
paying for it, and then if you ven.
ture to send a little reminder
they get hot, and think you have
greatly insulted them. But we
are glad that News subscribers
are not built that way. They
wonder how we can publish a pa
per as good as the News for dol
lar year, and they feel like pay
ing for it. The truth is, we could
not publish it very long if every
body was TO quit paying his sub
scription.

Those in charge of traction en-
gines on the public highways
should not forget that persons
with vehicles and horses they
meet on the roads have rights un-
der the law which traction engine
drivers must respect. The law
makes the engineer or proprietor
liable for all damages done by
horses they frighten, and de-
clares that man shall be kept

A. W. Kiddle. attorney for Spalding, said
yesterday IN New York: I'VE are ready to
argue the matter at any time Mr.. Nicoll
will serve us with notice Of trial. Many
Interesting points will come up under the

will be dismissed"

on possible unraveling OF the base ball
tangle. 1t states that last week President
Soden OF the Boston club was in consulta-
ton with certain trusted agents of the
Spaldtng faction, lile his partners, Conant
and Billings. were talking for publication In
Boston, paying glowing tributes to the in

Why Joe Quinn quit the Washington

four errors in one game, but he claimed to
