In May, after the ice. from the great
ice flood of March. had melted and the
people begun to put up their fences, the
Pennamites, with the soldiers. went
through the settlement in considerable
bodies and took possession of all the good
guns from every Yankee who had one,
and directly after this they turned every
Yankee family ont of doors. placing them
under guard. With the exception of a
few who escaped, these were forced to go
out east by the Lackawaxen. Thus the
Pcnnamites got full possession of the
country.
Shortly after this the soldiers were dis
charged. but many of them continued in
the country, and the Pennamites kept up
a garrison in the fort.
During the latter part of June the Yam
KEGS began to assemble in the woods, in
order, if possible, TO regain their posses
SiOns. In the meantime several appica-
ions had been made to the Legislative,
Executive and Judicial authorities of
Pennsylvania for protection and redress,
but none was obtained.
The first armed clash occurred about
July 10, when Il party of Pennamites and
another of Yankees, both armed, met in
a piece of woods in Plymouth, unexpect-
edly to both parties. They fired on each
other, two being killed and several wound
ed. The Pennamtes fled and We're pur-
sued to the fort. The fort was promptly
invested and hostilities continued for sew

The Centennial of the Admission of
Ohio to Statehood, which will be cele-
brated this month, recalls memorable
conflict in the beautiful and fertile Val
ley of Wyoming, known as the Pennamite
wars, in 1852, and about which little is
known by the present generation. These
struggles between Pennsylvanians on one
side and the Yankees, or New England
ers, on the other, led up to the establish
ment of the Western Reserve for the ben
eft of the Yankee faction, mainly Con-
necticUt emigrants.
The northeast portion of Ohio. known
as the Western Reserve. embraces ter
Titury containing 3.j00.000 acres. 1t is so
called because it was reserved as the
rightful share of the State of Connecticut
in the final adjustment of colonial land
claims made by Congress between the
States soon after the close of the Revolu-
ton.
Early in history Connecticut gave 5000
acres of the Western Reserve lands to
such of her citizens as had lost their prop
crty by fire and sword in the Revolution.
1t is related that Gov. Winthrop on his
visit to England, by a shrewd manuver,
induced Charles II. to grant a charter to

THE QUAY BILL.
A Kansas Comrade Advocates It.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The issue
of The National Tribune bearing date Jan.
., 1902, gives the text of a bill introduced
in the Senate by Senator Quay, and since
that date | have examined The National
Tribune for some comments IN regard 10
its merits, but have failed to see word
in reference to it. | believe the bill is
worthy one, and should it become law,
it will do away with 10 per cent. of all
medical examinatiOns-a consummatlOn
so devoutly wished for by the veterans of
the civil war. 1t will establish justice, in
sure domestic tranquility, promote the
general welfare, and secure the blessings
and comforts of life to ourselves and to
all the business enterprises of our great
common country.
Under the general law there were 29I,-
90 army and navy pensioners on the roll
on June 80. 1901-the close of the last
fiscal wear. There were 30, 43S pensioners
drawing So per month; 41,619 pensioners
drawing IS per month; 26,S46 pensioners
drawing SO per month, and 44,44l pen
sioners drawing S12 per month. Thus
there were f1S,903 pensioners on the rolls
drawing less than 81 per month, to A, AL
drawing the maximum rate of S12 per
month, under the general law.
Under the act of June q, 1880, there
were 43S.114 army and navy pensioners
on the roll, ana are cldSSlHeu as IOhONs ..
There were 104, ,S34 drawing Sc per month;
1873, ,293 drawing So per month; 3S,4o2
drawing $40 per month, and 156,362 draw
ing $12 per month. These figures show
there are 2S1, $40 pensioners on the roll
drawing less rates than the maximum, and
156, ,362 drawing the maximum rate of ST.
per month.
Under the general law there remain
ia ,2S3 pensioners on the rolls who are
drawing $12 per month and upwards,
which would still be subject to medical
examination in case of application for in
crease, and these examinations should be
made monthly instead of weekly, as is the
practice now for ecOnOmys sake
Under the act of June y, 1890, the
whole number would be forever freed from
the ordeal of medical examination If the
Quay bill should become law. The age
of the pensioner is the test under this bill
instead OF physical or mental disability.
The Government has Il record of the age
of every soldier. At least 10 per cent. OF
the medical examinations heretofore re-
quired will be done away with, and there
fore 70 per cent of the working force of
the Pension Bureau can be discharged,
saving a couple of millions of dollars per
annum, and the big Pension Building can
be hereafter dedicated to the Honorable
Secretary of the Department of Com
merce and Labor.

THE USUAL SPRING SLAUGHTER.
Trapping and Hooking Tired Wild Geese by
Maine Farmers.

The early fiocks of wild geese which
have struggled north against the March
storms reached Maine last week with dis
organized ranks and in scattered lots of
skies and seyens. AS nearly every flock
is without the usual old gander, who acts
as leader, most of the birds have settled
down in ponds or along tributary streams
to rest and wait for the organized hosts
expected later.
Owing to lack of caution and diSci-
pline among the geese. many birds have
been shot and trapped in the past week.
The birds rest at night on the ice in the
center of large ponds, where they are safe
from harm, because the sentinel on guard
at once gives the alarm when anyone at
temptS to cross on the ice.
As soon as light comes the hocks rise
above gunshot and fly away to new seed
ed grass fields, where there is plenty of
young clover, and in few days small
number of geese will eat up every green
thing on 10-acre lot. The farmers, who
do not like to see their prospective crop
destroyed, have set snares and traps and
spring guns in an effort to destroy the
invaders. The captures which they have
made include nearly every kind of animal
that lives in the State.
A large gray goose, taken in steel
trap last week, made loud outcry and
called a fox to the field. The fox killed
the goose and was carrying her away to
his den when it stepped into another trap
and was caught.
About this time a valuable hound.
which had been following the fox all
night, came along and in striving to reach
the fox, pulled Il spring gun and was shot
dead. The owner of the dog, who had
refused 500 for the animal has entered
suit against the farmer for setting the
traps and guns.
One morning when Simon Lufkin went
to visit his traps he found six geese hung
up by the legs, two of which were in one
trap. He also caught an otter, which had
gone out to get a breakfast.
His brother, who owns an adjoining
meadow, has taken eight geese, two foxes,
two minks, five skunks, one raccoon and a
large and beautiful white swan. the only
bird of this species ever seen so far in
land. He has set the swans broken leg,
clipped its wings and will try TO tame it.
Across the pond in Dedham the farm
ers are doing a good business catching
geese on large hooks which have been
baited with live frogs. By tying the end
of the line to a block and allowing the
frogs to hop about in the mud, the farm
ers have lured many geese to swallow the
hooks, after which the poor geese fly about
helplessly, croaking for aid until the farm
ers come up and kill them.

Rahr Found .he $. diamond


CHensman's Biography of Cecil RhodcSl
In 1861 diamonds had been discovered
in the region to the north Of the Orange
dentally. A BOer farmer one day saw a
native child gleefully playing with small
pebble that glittered and cOruscated III
the sun with unusual brilliance.
He took the stone from the child. eX-
amined it, and carried it home with him.
He could have had but little idea of what
the stone really was, for, probably, the
only time he had ever heard of diamonds
was when he had read the Old Testament;
but Boer has always keen eye for
business, and, thinking that the stone
might have some commercial value. the
farmer showed it to a British trader
named O'Reilly. O'Reilly seems to have
recognized the stone Immediately as n dia-
mond and bought it of the BOer-after
considerable haggling-fOr t20. Next he
submitted it to DIR. Atherstone, Of Gra-
hamstown-an authority on mineralOgy-
who unhesitatingly declared it to be dia-
mOnd of the purest water.
The diamond was then shown to Sir
Philip WodehOuse, High Commissioner Of
the Cape and was bought by him from
O'Reilly for $500.
They were both her friends, of course.
DO you Think asked he, that she
is as old as she lookS!'
"She tries not to look it." replied she,
$50 she must be"

"a Little Mistake That Got Two Blind
Musicians Into
TanE1e.

Visitors to Blackpool recently were
much puzzled by an old woman who
was playing barrel organ, relates
Stray Stories.
At one end of the instrument she had
pasted this notice: "Help the blind"
Beneath this appeared a second appeal
ST am the father of seven motherless
children"
The old woman wore pair of blue
spectacles, behind which her eyes were
completely hidden.
A few streets farther on the mystery
of the inscription was cleared up, for
there sat an old man turning music out
Of another organ, as dilapidated as the
one whose faint strains could almost
be heard from upsthe street.
He, too, wore glasses, and his organ
bore this lengend: "Help the blind =
And under it: 81 am the mother of
seven fatherless children
A man stepped up to him and said:
"Look here, my friend, next time you
go out you had better get the right la
bel on your organ"
The grinder must have guessed what
the error was for, pushing the glasses
back from his eyes, he peered quickly
up and down the street, as if looking
for a policeman. Seeing none, he
leaned over and read the sign.
"That's the old woman, all over" he
muttered, replacing the glasses and
turning his instruments to leave:
she's mixed them blooming organs VI

SEEING FooTBALL1BY PROXY,
Blind Enthusiast I'm England Who
Never Misses a Match When
He Dan Get There.

Blind since he was four years old, a
well-known Blackburn (England) man
is a sedf-taught musician, playing the
piano and other Instruments by ear and
earning his living by that accomplish
ment. Many blind people, however, are
musicians, and that is not the curious
thing about Mike, says Golden Penny.
His penchant is not only for music,
but for football. If you ask him on
a. Saturday night where he has been
in the afternoon, he will invariably tell
you he has been to "see" football
match. A blind man going to see a
football match-Nonsense! But it is
not nonsense. Mike is SO fond of,foot-
ball--especially of his own pet team,
the Blackburn Rovers-that he never
misses a match if he can possibly help
it in the season, frequently travelling
with the team to matches out of town
snot for the purpose of playing music
for coppers, as some may suppose; no,
he goes purely and simply to "see the
game"
True, he sees it by proxy. He stands
among the crowd, and as the shouts go
up and the remarks and criticisms of
those about him are expressed, ne can
follow the game as keenly as any man,
and when time is called he will tell
you more about the details of the
match than anyone else. Mike Is
proud of the fact that he has scarcely
missed seeing match on Saturday
afternoon for the last 20 years-to say
nothing of extra games on other days

ONWARD SILVER !.

With the close of the Memphis trot-
ting, the harness race season came to
an end. Campaigning since July, when
the sport opened in Detroit. the har-
ness horses of the season may be said
to comprise some very satisfactory
animals. The best green PAGER and
green trotter, it is said by critics who
are able and fair, are Direct Hal, the
beautiful black stallion that Ed Greers
drove, and Prince of Orange, also man
aged by the sssilent man" Direct Hal
certainly has commanded attention by
his remarkably consistent pacing. The
Providence $4,000 purse for 2:10
PAGERS went to him in straight heats.
But Onward Silver, the stallion that
will be recalled as the star performer
of 1900 on the grand circuit, has
stepped into the limelight as favor
tie with Creceus and Dan Patch and
McKerron. Onward Silver has been
withdrawn from the track and will
not be campaigned again. His owner
has mapped out a future in the stud
for this stallion that should result in
great good to the breeding and racing
interests. If the foals by this sire do
not prove stars in future grand circuit
meets, the horsemen will miss their
guesses.
Only two other stations, Monroe
Chief and Greenlander, have tried for
the two-mile record in the last 20
years. Budd Doble had Monroe Chief
when he was driven for the record,
and that astute veteran trainer and
reinsman was at Lexington when the
stallion Onward Silver made his mark
of 4:291a for two miles. Monroe Chief
was 2:1S1A trotter, and it is a matter
of speculation as to what he might
have done with the pneumatic sulky
of latter-day racing. Greenlander's
4:32 mark stood until Onward Silver
cut it down.
The close students of horsefesh say
that Onward Silver's record is but an
incident of the stations career, and
look for great performances by his
get. They cite that the winner Of the
Bonner memorial and the Massachu-
sets stakes, both for $4,000, in 1900,
together with record Of 2:O8 in a
third heat and the distinction Of trot-
ting two miles in faster time than any
other horse, argue well for him in the
stud. The Aberdeen blood so con-
spicuous and potent in Onward Sill
yer has come to general notice this
season with the stamp of approval.
This blood has come to Onward Sill
yer through his dam, full sister to
Kentucky Union (2:o71s); is in the
veins of other record breakers. Kath-
crime A. and Virgins have the blood.

tiers, is another of the blood of Aber-
