kee for next years encampment.
A resolution was unanimously pass
ed favoring consolidation of the
Spanish American War Veterans and
the Spanish War Veterans. A COM
like committee from the Spanish War
Veterans with authority to complete
the organization.
Just as the encampment had been
called to order, Capt. James III. Ma
ginnis, of New York city, moved that
Liller be excluded from the floor, but
the motion was lost. Whereupon Capt.
Coming, of New York, said with con-
siderable emphasis that the New York
delegation repudiated Liller and want
ed nothing more to do with him.
The auditing committee, which was
appointed to investigate Liller's ac-
counts, reported through Col. Hutch
ings, of Iowa, that Liller's books were
is so unsystematic condition that no
detailed report could be made. The
committee suggested that an expert
accountant be employed to disentangle
the financial affairs of the order, and
stated that as far as could be learned
the cash balance of the order is 1921
and it's liabilities $2,441.
Accounts All at Sea.
The convention was in an uproar.
From all parts of the hall Liller was
called upon to account for the cash he
had received. 1t was decided that no
settlement be made with Liller until
the affairs of the order had been dis
entangled. 1t was also decided that
no paper or periodical be made the Of
fetal organ of the order. This was a
blow at Liller's paper, which is pub
lished at Lancaster, Pa.
Liller said he offered his resignation
in order to avoid being discharged
from the order, as such discharge
would handicap him in organizing
new order, which, he said, he intended
to organize within short time. He
intimated that many would leave the
Spanish American War Veterans or
ganization and follow him. The new
order, he said, would be an anti-negro
organization.
It was stated by Gen. CoryelI that he
had talked with President Roosevelt in
reference to the consolidation and that
the latter earnestly recommended that
such a step be taken and had promised
to do everything in his power to fur
ther the scheme.

MANIFESTO FROM
THE BOER GENERALS
They Repudiate All Desire to Inflame
the Minds of tho
People.

AMSTERDAM, Sept 24.-The Boer
generals, Botha, Dewet and Delarey,
have issued a manifesto In the shape
Of an appeal to the civilized world.
This document recalls how, after the
terrible struggle in South Africa, the
Beers were compelled to accept the
British terms of peace, the generals
were commissioned to proceed to Eng
land and appeal to the new govern
ment to allay the distress which is
devastating the colonies, and, in the
event of the failure of the mission to
appeal to the civilized world for chari-
table contributions.
The generals say that having failed
to induce Great Britain to grant fur
ther assistance it only remains for
them to address themselves to the peo-
pie of Europe and America. After set
ting forth how sweet it had been, dur
ing the critical days they had passed
through, to receive constant marks of
sympathy, the generals take this op-
portunity to express, on behalf of the
people of the late republics, fervent
thanks to all those who had assisted
char1tably the women and children in
the concentration camps, prisoners, etc.
The small Boer nation" goes on
the manifesto, 'can never forget the
help it received in it's dark hours Of
suffering Our people are completely
ruined. 1t has been impossible to make
complete inventory, but we are con-
vinced that at least 10000 houses on
Boer farms and many villages were
burned or destroyed by the British
during the war. Everything was de-
stroyed and the country was complete
ly laid waste. The war demanded many
victims, the land was bathed in tears,
and orphans and widows were aban-
doned. We are appealing to the world
for contributions to assist the desti-
tute and help in the education of chill
dren.'
The generals repudiate all desire to
inf1ame the minds of the people and
declare: ''The sword is now sheathed
and all differences are silent in the
presence of such great misery
They say the small amount given by
Great Britain even if multiplied ten
fold would not suffice to cover the war
losses alone.
I'VE solicit the hearty cooperation
OF all existing committees in the vari-
Gus countries which we are on the
point of visiting with the object of es-
tablishing a satisfactory organization"

queer Penalty for Rum Tipping in Chautauqun County, New York,
 in Early Days,

In eNcavating for the foundations of the United, States government build ing, now in course of construction at Jamestown, workmen the other day, at depth of eight feet, came to a layer of old tree stumps, relates the New York Sun.
 Those stumps," said an ancient of the town, in explaining their presence so far below the surface, ''are relics ot the penalty some of the early citi- zens of Jamestown had to pay for tar rylng too long at the tanglefoot. All this big site here was swamp, and deep and unstable one. in those days. As our progressive forebears cut the trees down on the solid foundations Of the future town many stumps were left in unsightly prominence. but the settlers were too busy gettting other things ready to stop and grub stumps. They were anxious to get rid of them, though, and their removal at last came to be serious problem.
 At last one far seeing citizen was seized with an idea. There wasn't at that time any very strong prohibition sentiment around here and, without any intent of trespassing on any mans right to fill himself with rum if he wanted to, this citizen suggested to the town authorities that an ordinance be adopted compelling every person who might be caught under the infu- ence of the favorite tipple of that day, New England rum and hard cider, to dig up one of those unsighly stumps as soon as he was in condition to do it, or pay fine. The suggestion was act ed upon. The penalty for big jag was the removal of a big stump. If man was only moderately tipsy he was let off with digging up small stump. The ordinance was strictly enforced. The stumps as they were unearthed were thrown into the swampy places, where they became submerged and served to help the future filling in of those places. It speaks well for the ways of justice if not for the way of the cup that cheered and also intoxicated was dispensed in those rare old days, that in less than month of all the acres of stumps that had been scattered about the place to the worriment of the plod- ding settlers not one was left to be seen. These buried roots. now uncov- cred, are undoubtedly some of those against which conviviality was so ef- fectively pitted in the good old days of Chautauqua county"

Getting n CirculatiOn

"I think we'd better send this ar ticle back" suggested the assistant editor of the magazine that "pays on publication"
 "Why?" demanded the editor.
 Because" replied the assistant, "we won't be able to use it for at least two years"
 Great mackerel!" cried the editor; "haven't you any business head at all |? Can't you see that to accept it is as good as getting a two-year subscrip- tion? Doesn't it dawn upon your feeble intellect that if we accept it the au- thor will buy the magazine every month for two years in order not to miss his story when it appears? Ac- cept everything, sir; verything. That's the way to get circulation."- Woman's Home Companion.

e. NJ. Byers, Yale, '01, golf champion
of that Varsity in 1900 and 1901, mem
Der of the Allegheny Club of Pittsburg,
to-day defeated Champion w. j. Ira
Wis in the third round of the match for
the amateur golf championship. 1t was
by a narrow margin, the match not be-
ing decided until the last hole had
been played and the quality of the
golf may be judged by the medal
scores Byers II and Travis 49,, six and
five under DOGGY respective. Byers
won the game after apparently being
hCpelessly beaten. He was three down
at the turn, with Travis playing per-
feet golf. But on the last nine holes
he played golf seldom exhibited even
by veteran professionals. His medal
score for the last nine holes was IS or
SO strokes under Bogey. Travis took
his defeat like a true sportsman.
Byers played Chandler Egan of Ex-
in ha of II
him in a game replete with brilliant
golf. Byers' medal score in the after
noon was 80. Thus he played thirty
six holes in 157, and tonight lis
chances of winning in the semi-finals
tomorrow and the finals Saturday are
bright.
Walter Egan disposed of George Or
mission of Pittsburg, in the morniny
round, but in turn was beaten in the
afternoon by F. o. Reinhart, the
young Baltusrol golfer. Egan's vic
tory over Ormiston was not unexpect-
ed, but his defeat by Reinhart was a
great disappointment to the Western
contingent.
Percy r. Pyne of Princeton was also
defeated by George H. Leslie of Sto-
kie, more through his own poor work
than from especially good golf by Les
lie. Then Leslie was defeated in the
afternoon by DR.. D. P. Fredericks of
Oil City. He had the game won, but
with the driving rain of a sudden
thunderstorm, pouring like a cataract
on his back, he missed a tWo-foot put
for a half on the eighteenth green,
and the Pennsylvania won the nine
tenth hole and the match.
Ex- Champion Travis, though out of
the contest for the championship, had
the consolation of badly beating Orm-
iston in the play off of the. tie for the
gold medal given for the lowest score
in the qualifying round. Ornl!ston
could do no better than SO. while
Travis turned in a score of 81, out in
80 and back ir A. Travis 50 was the
third in succession he made during the
day.

Recorder yesterday. Warning was ar
rested for being drunk by Policeman
Harper. He was found asleep IN the
street and the policeman called the
patrol wagon and the negro was lock-
ed up.
The negro told the Recorder that he
was waiting for street car when ar
rested. He said that he had waited
long time and finally the waiting
grew so tedious that he fell asleep on
the curb. Despite this picturesque
story, and the fact that he displayed
a car transfer ticket, the negro was
given IS or ten days.
Cuny Gibbons, the negro who was
arrested some time ago by Patrolman
j. W. Woods for shooting Lizzie Jen-

custody said that he was sorry he. shot
the woman and did not know what he
was doing.
The woman would not consent to in
eliminate Gibbons and when he told
the Recorder that he had fired the
shot accidentally she upheld him in
the statement. The Recorder now

sufficient to hold, Gibbons for assault
with intent to kill.
