| will let Mr.. jeff Hughes rest
sor awhile and firish up his story
later on, when | have given few
more war "reminiscences. The di.
gression l made, while not direct
part of the war, was one Of its indi
rect results. and therefore what I
have said of him, or may vet say,
will be the better understood by the
readers.
Goiag back to my Virginia nara
tive | hardly know where to begin.
There are a thousand and one Incl.
dents pressing OH my mind, or else
bobbiug up in my diary that demand
attention. Some of these are funny,
others solemn, while others a gain are
only pleasant. | do not like to pass
over any of them without giving
them for what they are worth. War,
while it is hateful and expensive
luxury, it is alsa an educatsr-an
education to the man who takes it Is
sush-no better school for studying
phrenology, psychology and mind
reading can be furnished than the
march, the camp, bivouac and the
battlefield or the prison pom. Any
enc of these perform their respective
parts i'll showing up what kind of
stuff men are made of. Big Sam
Leesh, who cooked for the York
mess, was one of the most accom-
plished roguss ever raised in York
county. Yet he used to tell it of
some of his mess that they were Just
at the close of the war, where ho was
at tho beginning. He supposed
when the war broke out that he was
. lifetime ahead of them. but at it's
clsse he was hardly four years. 1
do not wish here to be considered as
rejecting on the character or honesty
of any of my soldier brothers-not
at sll-but men who are faithful to
their duties as soldiers in front of q
powerful and well disciplined army
are often thrown into positions that
they must exercise all the inventive
genius they possess to make their
service as effective as possible; this
led to Sans observation. If, how
ever, man was effected with clepto-
manis at all he only had the better
reason for an opportunity to pat
this trait into practice.

The war was no place for man

conceal his weakness. while his strong

1t was a noticeable fact (and not an

B0ER LEADERS QUARREL.
DeWet, Bothia and Delarey
Slight Lady Cooks Invitation.

LOyDuN, oct. 24.-Lady Cook (who
was Tennessee Clafin) gave a dinner
here last night in honor of the Beer
commanders now In London. Generals
De Wet, Botha and Delarey were not
sble to be present, but Lady Cooks
guests included General Malan Com
mandants Foucho and Krltzinger and
Sir Hiram Maxim
The failure Of Generals De Wet, Bo-
tina and Delarey to attend Lady Cooks
dinner is supposed to be connected
with quarrels which have arisen be-
tween them. They were all sightseeing
in London during the day, and up to
the last moment they We're expected at
Lady Cooks.
1t is reported that General De Wet
wants the tour of the generals. includ-
ing the trip to the United States, to be
abandoned and that all three are dis
appointed at the financial results so
far obtained. General Botha, however,
is said to be anxious to make a further
effort to collect funds. A warm discus
sion Oh this point is believed to have
occurred between Generals De Wet
and Botha. General Delarey is said to
have rema med neutral in the matter.
General De Vets presence is consd-
cred necessary for the success of the
tour, and if he persists il returning to
South Africa it is not unlikely that the
whole tour will he abandoned.

MANY PRESSING NEEDS.
Filipino En- Route to Washington
Tells of Islands Troubles.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 24,-RaimsuI
Reyes Lala, native Filipino, graduate
OF oxford and a natural ized Americas.
has arrived here on his way from MAJ
Mia to Washington to tell something
of the present urgent needs Of the Phil
ippines.
Legislation is much needed for tho
Philippines" says Lala. 1--WE poor Ell.
ipinos need stable currency. We cam
not do business with the United States
without fixed standard of money. In
the old days silver was generally
worth three-fourths as much as gold
and at the worst two for one, but now
silver-and 1t is silver country;
though the government demands all its
payments in gold-silver is lower yet Z
$2.37 for every dollar in gold.
10 secure $500 in gold when 1 war
leaving for the United States had t.
pay something like 5000 In silver Tho
worst of 1t is that there is no estabs
lished ratio. The commission can mako
1t anything they see fit.
THE islands need railroads. They
need more reliable labor for my coun<
try, for the laboring class is very uu-
certain. If they make few dollars +,
they don't care to work till the money
is sDent" A84

PARIS, Oct. 24.-It Is learned that
France, Great Britain and Germany
have concluded an agreement providing
for the military evacuation Of Shang-
hal by their forces. The negotiations
have also brought about an important
extension Of the open door policy, as
urged by Secretary Hay. The agree
ment affects not only Shanghai, but the
entire Yangtsekiang valley. which the
powers are seeking to develop for com
mercial purposes.
The date of the evacuation is still
open, but leading official of the for
elGn office expressed the belief that it
will undoubtedly be accomplished by
Jan. l. About 1900 troops will par
ticipate in the evacuation, each power
having furnished about an equal num-
Der of troops since the Chinese crisis
became acute. q

The modern practice of q gift of

that he bad purchased her from her

The giving of gifts ~ the friends
OF the young couple has very lif-
ferent significance now from it's
original one. Instead of a token Of
compliment or expression of good
will, 1t was anciently of much more
practical import. 1t was frankly con-
sltered that the friends should by
this means help the young people
starting out on their life Journey.
The wedding cake is develop |
ment Of three ears Of wheat carried
by the bride in very oldan times as
a presage Of plenty OF the good
things of life. In time the grain
thus formerly carried was ground
and made into small cakes. which
were thrown over tne bri.lA's head as
she entered her first house A pile
OF these fiat cakes We're laid upon
one another after the manner of

evolution came the present form Of
one huge, round cake, for whose

SECRETARY E. 0. SELLERS
AT KNOXVILLE CONVENTION

General Secretary E. o. Sellers,
of the Wilmington Young Men 8
Christian Association was one Of the
speakers Of tho Association conven-
tiOn 10 Knoxville. Tenn. The Sen
tinel Of that city thus reports him.
He asserted that the young men
constitute the greatest asset that
there is today In the country aud
that they should be brought along
ia the lines tina! will make them the
best paying dividend of the country.
There are three evils that the
young men must be guarded against
and they are: Gambling, drink and
tousness. This is, he claimed,
the age that wherever q young man
goes the best there is in him is
wanted. and If the great Offices, fac.
tories and stores are visited 1t will
be found that they are filled with
young men; that in the offices of the
Southe railway 10 Washngt ton he
went through, he found only one
gray haired man there. There
agencies are at work that are trying
to get hold Of the young men and
they are for either good or evil. The |
way that the young men walked the
streets Of Knoxville on last Saturday
night without purpose in life, wac
spoken Of. and the speaker said they
were shown to be the ones that the
Christian people should get hold Of
and try to help.
The young men were told that if
they were going to smoke that they
had better smoke tobacco, the real
article than smoke paper Gig arettes.
An appeal was made for the better
treatment of the young men ana the
Efforts Of the Christian people ,to do
What they could TO keep the young
nen from falling into the pits.
