Vast Dairy Interests

Those attending our courts have
probably noticed that the President
Judge makes special inquiry of con-
stables as to whether they know of
any sales of oleomargerine or reno
waited butter in their bailiwicks. This
is done in accordance with the pro-
visions Of the act Of assembly, and
when the vast and growing dairy
interests in this state are considered
farmers will note the Importance to
them of having the law obeyed. The
sale of oIeomargerine or renovated
butter is in direct conflict with the
interests Of dairymen.
According to the latest figures
obtainable the farm value of dairy
products in this state are exceeded
by but one state in the Union, aggre-
eating nearly SO million dollars per
annum. According 10 the last census
there were 81, 600 farms in Pennsyl-
vania which derived their principal
income from the dairy, In 1900 the
state had nearly a million COWS pro-
ducing nearly 500 million gallons OF
milk in one year. This SO million
dollars coming from the dairy inter
ests Of the state is a vast sum and il
is to foster the industry and protect
consumes against the sale Of illegal
dairy products that the food commits
sioner is taking such active steps.
He asks the cordial cooperation OF
the agricultural class and an citizens
generally In his efforts 10 enforce the
dairy and food laws Of the common
wealth, regardless Of the social OF
political standing Of those who make
themselves amenable to the laws.

.THEY GOT THE DEER |
Jerry Greening Found it by
the Shohola Creek
MAY HAVE DIED OF FRIGHT
The Lead Flew in Showers but the
Deer Ran on Until a Stray shot
Killed It-s'Jerry" Not Even
Rewarded for TTie E;,d

Rewarded for His Find
Not long ago a party Of hunters
from an adjoining county, possibly
from some ''dale," was up in the
back woods Of Pike hooking for deer.
Finally their efforts to start one were
successful and then the fusiIlade
began. They fred 2s shots at it but
the frightened deer still ran on and
they gave it up as a phantom. Jerry
Greening happened to be in tile
neighborhood, and wandering what
the bombardment meant walked up
in the direction Of the noise. Think
ing perhaps a buckshot war wcs on
between two parties of hunters he
went cautiously up the Shohola creek
and finally came on a dead deer,
lying partly in the water, which had
been hit by a single shot in a vital
part. Supposing it might have been
the cause Of the incessant shooting he
took the deer and propped it up in a
standing position behind a tree, and
went on in search of the firing line.
He finally ran across one Of the party
and inquired if he had seen any
game. The hunter replied that him
self and party had started a deer but
that it had escaped them. Jerry
told him the deer might not be far
away and suggested that they look
for it down the stream. The hunter
requested that he be allowed to go in
advance 50 that he could have a shot
if they found the quarry. Going out
a short distance Jerry halted and
said, "there, there is the deer" The
hunter anxiously inquired "where,
where is he" After some effort
Jerry made him see Its head project
ing from behind the tree and he
instantly fred, but the deer did not
move, so he fired again with the
same result. They then walked up
to the deer when it was disclosed that
neither Of the shots had taken effect
beyond cutting a swath through the
brush. The hunter sounde d his horn,
all up TO date sportsmen besides guns
carry knives, horns and other neces
sary accoutrements, and soon the rest
of the party appeared on the scene.
OF course they claimed the deer, and
without SO much as even saying
thank you, or inviting Jerry to take
a drink out Of the creek, they shoul-
dered the game and left. Probably
Thanksgiving day they sat around
the festive board, graced with veni-
son surrounded by their families and
friends and recounted the pleasures of
the chase and pointed to the result as
evidence Of their deadly skill with
shot gun. Honesty and courtesy
among hunters is proverbial, and no
hunter is more conscientious in these
respects than Jerry, but the manner
in which those sportsmen gobbled up
that deer is a rude shock 10 his belief
in the universal application Of those
principles.

wITH Nnw eRANADA


- r-~ ~~-NNe
The Senate, in executive session,
has made public the correspondence
submitted by President Polk in 1s47
in relation 70 the treaty Of 1s46 be
tween the United States and New
Granada (now the republic Of Co.
lombia). It is stated that these
papers have never been published.
They consist of protocols between
Benjamin A. Bidlaok, charge Of the
United States at Bogota, and Manuel
M Mallarino, secretary OF foreign
affairs for New Granada. There is
a report by the latter official point
ing out the advantage of the treaty
to the United States in view Of the
attitude Of Great Britain, which he
declares, unveils a preconceived
and long .meditated intention Of
graspiug the most valuable mercan-
tile spots Of America, putting the
competition Of the United States out
Of the question and debating her
will as law in all matters concern
ing the consumption of foreign
commodities.
In a communication TO Secretary OF
State Buchanan Mr.. .Bidlack discusses
the control Of the isthmus, in which
he says that Secretary Mallarina had
said that if New Granada "ceded to
the United States the right Of way
across the isthmus he presumed the
United States would guaranty to
New Granda the isthmus, or at least
as much Of it as was required for
the construction Of canal or a
railroad upon the most favorable
route"
Mr. Bidlack, in transmitting a
draft of the treaty, to Sec y Buchanan,
had the following to say regarding
the transit across the isthmus:
with regard to the right Of
transit and free passage over the
isthmus, which appeared to me to
be becoming of more and more i'm
pertance every day, 1 have only to
remark that ] have procured the
largest liberty and the very best
terms that could be obtained.
II could not obtain those terms
without consenting to guaranty the
integrity and neutrality of the terri
tory and, in fact, it seemed to me,
upon reflection, that in order to
preserve the rights and privileges
thus ceded it would be both the
policy, the interest and the duty of
the United States thus to enter in-
to an obligation to protect them.
The guaranty extends only to the
isthmus, and anything like gem
eral alliance is carefully avoided.

Senator Nowlands' invitation to
Cuba to join the Union was opposed
by Senators Lodge, Hale and o. h.
Platt, who pointed out, in the de-
bate, that such an invitation woald
be looked upon as a command, that
it would expose this country to the
suspicion of desiring to annex Latin
American territory, and that it
would weaken the hands Of the
present administration Of Cuba,
under which the island had enjoyed
such remarkable prosperity Many
interesting and important points
were brought out in the discussion.
Senator bale said that he believed
that the men who were listening to
him would live to see Canada and
the United States united senator
Lodge expressed the esame sentiment,
by saying he hoped all the European
flags on this continent would return
TO Europe as did Spain's Senator
Platt, Of Connecticut, the author Of
the Platt amendment, declared that
this government exercised no pro-
teotorats over Cuba, and that Cuba
was not our ward. Quoting Nc
Kinley, he said. 1--WE are neighbors,
we must be close friends. Senator
Teller said that without entering
into the debate, he wished to state
positively that Cuba was 10 no way
q dependency OF the United States,
and that any international lawyer
would declare such a contention
ridiculous. Senator Newiands arg
ned the trade advantages Cuba
would gain bY union, and said that
his resolution considered merely
Cuba's welfare. that the acceptanos
OF the invitation would be decided
by popular vote. and that the Cubans
had therefore no cause for alarm.

Probably his mission will end in an

ty for Columbia and TO force Panama
TO assume a pro rata portion of
Colombia's debt. In fact the first
work Of Sir Mortimer Durand, the
new British ambassador, who has
just arrived here, will be to press
the claims Of English bondholders,
that Panama assume a fair share of
Colombia's debt. The fact that the
representations will be made to our

The Fiji Islands are seldom consid-

tables and an inferior article of Ameri-
can canned meats. With these, and
a resort to fish, they manage to ex-
list without their former feasts on

Since this change in their bill of fare
the world has had no interest in them
