THE SOLDIER OF '76.
He Was Not Military Figure, but
He Was Effective.

He Was Not Military Figure, but
He Was Effective.
General John Thomas was the COM
mander of the provincial troops when
they occupied South Boston. He was
an intimate friend of Washington and
was regarded as one of the best Off
GERS Of the little army. His military
career, however was short, for in 1776
he died of smallpox.
The post which Thomas was ordered
to occupy was at the top of a Roxbury
hill, the approach to which was plain
ly visible from Boston. The generals
troops consisted of only 700 men, but
when the army took up it's position he
marched the line round and round the
bill, multiplying many times the ap-
parent size of the regiment.
In some respects the scornful appella-
ton of "rabble" given by the British
to Thomas division was appropriate to
the provincial troops stationed on the
hilltop The social equality and ia
miliarity which existed at home be-
tween the officers and privates con-
tinued in camp.
BILL" said a captain to a private,
"go and bring a pail of water for your
mess"
Il shan't," responded Bill. "It's your
turn now. / got the last one"
The appearance of the troops was
against them also from a military point
of view. The soldier of '76 was a
grimy figure, his head wrapped in an
old bandanna handkerchief, pipe be-
tween teeth, leather breeches, yarn
stockings and hobnailed shoes, bat 1t

In many of the portraits Of the six

of rich, soft fur wound around the
wrist of a noble dame. This was used
to cover the neck or fulfill the func-

attached a small animals head or
skull cunningly wrought in metal and
adorned with precious stones. The

Demand FOR POPCORN

Popcorn by the ton or bag,'' is the
handsome offer of downtown mer.
chant. reports the New York Sun. A
passerby. who did not want ton, but
thought he might like a bag, stepped
IN to price the article He concluded
that he did not want even bag when
ne found that it meant $50 pounds of
shelled corn.
lie could have had ton for $35, or
three pounds for twenty five cents.
which is at the rate Of rather more
than SIG ton. The customer then
suddenly realized the handsome profit
OF his grower in selling popcorn on
the cob at ten cents a pound.
Popcorn, like the rabbit, multiplies
with great facility. 1t comes to town
from Upper New York State, New
England and the rest in the ear or
ready shelled. and the wholesalers buy
it fora good deal less than their SELL
ing price of $35 a ton.
Most OF it gees to the making of con-
feotions. though some tons are sold
for domestic popping. 1t is popped
wholesale by machinery. and it almost
quadruples it's bulk in the popping.
Here is where the peppers profit
comes in, for tine cost of his raw ma
terial is insignificant, even when the
glucose with which the popcorn ball
is sweetened is counted. A consider
able part OF the manufacturer's cost
is in the packing, which is often done
in fancy boxes and with a wealth of
semi transparent oiled paper and the
occasional extravaganza of gay rib
bons.
Another important item of the corn
popper's expense in labor. Much of
the work is done by deft girls, who
earn pretty fair wages, as girls wages
| go.
There seems to be a constant demand
for popcorn confectionery in it's vari
GUS forms, but the harvest of the pop.
corn man is from late May to mid
September, when folks who are not
| too rich swarm to the popular seaside
resorts with their children. Popcorn
is as much necessity of such places
as the merry go.round, the toboggan
slide, the fat lady, the snake charmer,
and their hideous accompaniment o1
mechanical music. Every child thai
goes to such place consumes at least
one popcorn ball or stick, and the
number of such visitors all over the
United States is millions daily, anc
perhaps billions for the season.
Luckily for children, the popcorn
confectionery is as wholesome as any
made. The glucose is not too sweet,
and motives of economy. or perhaps oi
benevolence, lead the makers to put in
only enough to serve as glue for the
grains of popcorn AS to the popcorn
itself, it is one of the wholesomest
forms of starch, for the process OF
popping not only breaks the outer skin
OF the grain. but naturally destroys the
tough little integument with which
the constituent particles of starch are
covered. 1t is this integument that
makes starch especially difficult of di.
gestion. and ordinary modes of cooking
fail to break it up and free the starch
in such fashion as to render it easily
disposed of by the internal economy of
the small consumer.

GOSSIP OF THE
FOOT BALL Game

Foot ball teams and the players are
preparing now for the wind.up of the
season. There are yet to be important
games. but as each Saturdays engage
ments close, the end of the 1905 sched-
ules seems to advance several steps,
and after Thanksgiving has rolled
around the heroes of gridirons will be
but spots on brains of the sporting
fraternity.
1t can be said that this season is re.
ceiving its proper share of interest.
Although so much has been heard con.
corning the roughness and brutality OF
the game, yet it does not show any
signs of dying and when the last toot
OF the referees whistle is heard there
will be regrets. Is the stand taken by
college presidents wise one? In the
! opinion of the writer and hundreds
more, it is not. What has helped to
make the great popularity of American
universities more than this game?
| Each and every one has base ball, and
basket ball, and association foot ball,
and numerous other things, but all
are numbered in the rear when the
mighty king of the green is spoken of.

WARREN COUNTY
ALSO NOTICES
lFrom the Newark News.l

kcIOm thO 4NCWdIk NeWs.)
a The sentiment against bossism has
Extended even to the furthermost
limits of Warren county. Like the
3imited franchise movement, it has
kpread in every direction. even among
#he hills which have never looked
Hown on an electric road of any kind.
But bossism has gone where tTolleys
have never yet reached, and has ex.
Brted it's baleful influence in hamlets
That are even beyond the far-reaching
Bound Of the locomotive whistle.
VI Hence, in Warren county, some Sec
lions of which are far removed from
trolleys and steam railroads, bossism
has prevailed for..many years and the
sentiment against it now givse prom.
ise of etfecting useful and valuable re.
forms The people Warren county
seem determined to have their innings
S8this year and to put themselves in
line with the voters in other counties
Din which bossism is the dominant
8issue.
n These facts were recognized by the
Democratic bosses early in the cam.
Spaign, and they found it necessary to
8put up what would ordinarily be
xcalled strong party ticket. But
Boss Cornish could not let go his hold,
land. in order to get a tighter grip, he
I&caused himself to be nominated for
Estate Senator. AS a result, there is a
$revolt of no inconsiderable dimensions
Ain the Democratic ranks. Bossism, in
$the person of Cornish, is likely to re
Sceive it's quietus in Warren county
#next election day.
The Warren Republicans. TO their
8credit be it said, have this year put
8up an exceptionally excellent ticket of
Ia platform that declares for most of
} the Colby principles. Their candidate
\ for Senator, who is likely to defeat
Cornish, is Winthrop Rutherfurd, a
very wealthy citizen. who expends
much of his money for the improve
ment Of Warren county. He is not a
newcomer, but man whose great
grandfather was member of the
United States Senate. His grand
father was also State legislator, who
served ten year in the lower and up
3per branches. Efforts have of course
been made by the opposition machine
$and boss to discredit Mr.. Rutherford
because of his great wealth, but the
most careful observers in Warren as
$sert that his chances of being elected
&are growing brighter each day.
N Bosses. whether Democrtio or Re-
publican, are exorescences on the body
8politic. They are inimical to good
government and subversive of the
rights of the people. Whether in War
Prem or in Essex, in Mercer or in Mid.
8dlesex, in Atlantic. Ocean or Mon.
mouth. the bosses are, and of a right
Eout to be. doomed this year. Party
organization is right. Bossism is
wrong. The one is necessary to carry
Hout the will of the majority, the other
8compels the majority to fight for its
*inherent right to nominate and elect
Z its own Senators and members of the
ASSEMBLY. The Republicans OF Essex
had to do it; the people of Warren
seem determined to accomplish similar
results this year. 1t is bad year for
bosses and bossism, but a good year
for the people and for intelligent
political independence.

The center, or center rush, is the
anchor of the team. He is invariably
the heaviest and possibly the strongest
man of the eleven.
The center rush stands guard over
both center holes, assisted by the quar-

RICH CANDIDATES ONLY
FOR BAY STATE GOVERNOR

Political circles are taking unusual in
terest in the development of the Massa-
chusetts Democratic political situation.
The Massachusetts Democracy has
succeeded in recent years in capitalizing
the distinction of It's gubernatoriai NOM
ination, and inducing the candidate
largely to finance the campaign.
William A. CASTOR. though he was not
elected, won large fame by his two grea
runs. 1t cost him large amount of
money, but the results looked so good
that last year the party was able to find
another .ich man who could afford TO
nave some effective political advertising
William L. Douglas was named. He
conducted a unique campaign, and was
elected by 3e,o90, while Roosevelt carried
the State by $1,000.
Mr. Douglas has little taste for more
of the executive function. His party is
said to be casting about for another
man who can afford to finance a cam
paign.
Col. Albert A Pope. of bicycle and au-
tomobile fame, is apparently in most
favor. The advertising would be a
good thing whether he won or lost, just
as IL was for Governor Douglas, and he
Is amply able TO invest IN it IL he
chooses.

thing for the Massachusetts Democrats,
