THE OLD EGG.-Mrs. Pierre Lorrilard
Ronalds, at a luncheon in New York,
the Sun says, narrated her impressions
OF the great city that she had not seen
for twenty years.
New York has now taken her place
among the worlds capitals" she said.
New York is no longer young and un-
sophisticated. She has now all the
WEAKNESS and vice of Paris, London
and Rome.
They who still speak of New York
as young, childish, innocent, speak
very foolishly. They remind me of

WATERLOO.
The ImmutabiIity of the Famous Old
Battlefield.


One of the most striking features Of
a visit to the battlefield of Waterloo
today is the immutability Of the entire
scene in which one Of the greatest bat
ties of history took place. Notwith
standing the many years that have
passed since the memorable day Of June
IS, 1915. the entire scene of the battle
remains practically unchanged and
untouched, and the very buildings
around which the tide Of battle surged
the fiercest, save for the necessary res
torations of the damage they sustain
ed in the conflict, remain exactly as
they were, nor has any encroachment
of building or progress marred the his
toric field.
The battlefield of Waterloo is an
open, undulating stretch Of good farm
ing land. On the day of the battle the
greater part of it was covered with
crops of rye, wheat, barley and oats,
and the same crops are still grown
there each season. The field is inter-
sected by two highroads branching at
Mont ST. Jean, the one on the right
leading to Nivelles, while that on the
left, which lay in the center Of both
armies, led south to Genappe, Char
lerol and Namur. Upon the crest Of
the ridge which formed the first Of the
allied positions a crossroad runs east
and west. This road, on approaching
the spot where the Lion of Waterloo"
now stands, ran through a cut in the
crest some twelve to fourteen feet
deep, and It was this point that was
known after the battle as the Hollow
Road. Some 500 yards to the south
east of the Lion" is the farm of La
Haye Salnte, while about 900 yards to
the southwest stands Hougoumont, the
old chateau, farmhouse, outbuildings,
walled garden and orchard, which play
ed such an important part in the fate
of the day. These buildings are nearly
300 years old and were built with a
view to their defense, as many old stone

LANCASTER.

News, November 20: Ihe new MILL
tary company, of which Capt. James
Hunter, formerly a lieutenant in a
Georgia regiment, is the commanding
officer, had an enthusiastic meeting in
the court house Monday night. AS
many as forty young men have thus
far enlisted. Adjutant General Boyd
is expected here from Columbia the
latter part of the week to muster the
company into service. An armory has
not yet been secured, but one Of the
handsome rooms in the Gregory Hood
block may be obtained for the purpose.
. Mr.. NJ. L. Hinson of PrimuS, had
the misfortune to lose his residence by
fire yesterday morning about 3 O'Clock.
Not only the dwelling but practically
all it's contents were destroyed, an or
gan and a mattress being the only ar
ticles saved. The fire started in the up
per portion of the building, and was
of accidental origin, it is thought. Mr..
Hinson's loss is fully $1,5OO, which is
partially covered by insurance-$500 on
the house and $500 on the furniture in
the Moore & Williams insurance agen-

from Lancaster county, son Of Mr..
Robert Wright of Heath Springs sec

tried in Spartanburg few days ago
for the killing of A. G. Kirkendall and
foDD6 cr,,ilty Of r,apSlauphter has been
sentenced to the penitentiary for ten
years and one day. The case, however,
it is stated. will be carried to the su-
preme court .. AT a congregational
meeting of the Methodist church held
Sunday it was decided to ask the an
nual conference, which convenes in
Laurens this week, to return the pas
tor, the Rev. w. A. Fairy to Lancaster
for the ensuing year. Mr.. Fairy has
served his present charge only one
year, but during that length Of time he
has won many friends and admirers in
the community irrespective of denomi-
national lines. He is a forceful, logical
preacher and his jealous work here
has been productive of much good.
AS the game season is now open nu-
