HOW WJULD YOU LIKE TO GO.
1t's cool enough in Greenland >.”
To freeze your very soul;
A million icebergs cluster
At the tiptop of the pole;
They never have a picnic there—
The winter's never done,
And icicles hang all the year
Around the frozen sun.
And how would you like to go
To that wonderful land of snow ?
In a sledge, on a bike—
Oh, how would you like—
Oh, how would you like to go?
It's cool enough in Greenland
To freeze your very soul;
The waves they wash the glaciers,
Aud seas with icebergs roll.
They never have a barbecue
While years are passing by,
For the ice puts out the fire
And freezes up the “rye.”
And how would you like to go
To that wonderful land of snow ?
In a sledge, on a bike—
Oh, how would you like—
Oh, would you like to go ?—Frank L. Stan.

LINCOLN’S PROPHECY.
¢It has been a trying hour for the Re=-
public; but I see in the near future a
crisis approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of
my country, as a result of the war, cor-
porations have been enthrowned and an
era of corruption in high places will
follow and the momney power of the
country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudices of
the people, until all wealth is aggregated
in a few hands and the Republic is de~
stroyed. Ifeel‘'at this moment more anx-
iety for the safety of my Country than
even in the midst of the war. May God
grant my suspicions may prove ground=-
less.” —ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Silver im Mexico.
Free Coinage is Rapidly Building Up that Republic.
Prosperity Abounds There.—Failures are Almost
Unknown South of the Rio Grande.—A Talk with
Officials, Merchants, Bankers and Farmers,
Mr. Edward B. Light, a prominent west-
ern business man now in Mexico, is writ-
ing a series of letters from that country to
the Chicago Press Bureau, in which he
gives an impartial view of the industrial
situation there. As there is a great deal of
ignorance in this country upon the condi-
tion of affairs across the Rio Grande, we
herewith publish a portion of his last let-
ter from Chihuahua, a city now of 30,000
inhabitants :
I learned Governor Ahumada has served
four years and was re-elected for four years
on the 6th inst. He is a gentleman of large
statue and commanding presence, and
while he impressed me as a foreigner it was
only when speaking I could think of him
as a Mexican. Iasked for the financial
condition of the State and his people now,
as compared with five and ten years ago :
He modestly replied ‘‘To do that I must
necessarily speak of my own Administra-
tion, which is better said by others.” As-
suring him I believed he would not exceed
the truth he said :
“Our State is in a very prosperous con-
dition. Five years ago it was in debt
$350,000 of which $150,000 was bonded and
passed due and $200,000 floating indebted-
ness. The bonded indebtedness, both
principal and interest, has been paid and
$100,000 of the floating indebtedness and
all accumulated interest, so that now we
owe only hetiveen $50,000 and $60,000 all
together. In the meantime many per-
manent and costly improvements have
been made or are in the course of construc-
tion. For instance, the school of arts or
manual training school is now complete
and is receiving its machinery and furni-
ture. There our boys will be taught all
the useful trades at the expense of the
State. A school has been erected and is
now in successful operation for our girls in
which they are being taught domestic
work, telegraphy, stenography, typewrit-
ting, bookkeeping, etc.
AGRICULTURE AND STOCK RAISING.
“Our largest industries are agriculture
and stock raising. Our farmers, stockman
and merchants are prosperous and con-
tented. New industries are heing establish-
ed and appear to be thriving. There have
been no failures worthy of notice for many
years. Our commerce amounts to $15,-
000,000 annually. We welcome manufac-
turers in new lines, and when of seascn-
able magnitude exempt them from taxes
for five or ten years, according to the im-
portance of the industry. The present de-
mand for labor is in excess of the supply.
The city was to have put in a system of
sewers last Spring. As we were about to
begin operations, the officials were waited
upon by citizens, who stated that there
was such a scarcity of labor that if we went
on with the sewers the buildings contem-
plated could not be erected. Upon inves-
tigating the subject the statement was
found to be true, and it was decided to
postpone the sewer building until fall.
The introduction of the new supply of wa-
ter necessitates the construction of sewer-
age at the earliest practical day. I hope
another year will see them in use.
TALK WITH A BANKER.
+ It was my privilege to interview a num-
ber of prominent citizens, one of whom was
Mr. Henrequi Creel, President of Minero
bank, a manufacturer, mine owner and
most influential financier of Northern
Mexico. I learn his father was an Amer-
ican from Philadelphia and his mother a
Mexican, that he was educated in Mexico,
a self-made man and a multi-millionaire. |
The bank of which he is President has re-
cently absorbed one bank and is about to
absorb another. I said to Mr. Creel that I
was desirous of ascertaining what were the
conditions of Mexico commercially and
financially, and especially in comparison
with the conditions existing five, ten and
twenty years ago, my object being to de-
termine whether the low price of silver had
been as detrimental to Mexico as to the
United States. He said :
“I believe the low price of silver (the
high price of products) is of henefit to
Mexico. hecause the value of silver has not
changed in its relation to labor and com-
modities. Gold being at a high premium,
all foreign goods are so expensive we are
now manufacturing here. Formerly we
exported most of our silver to settie for
those purchases. We are now exporting
cattle, coffee, hides and other products, and
by manufacturing to supply our wants and
keeping our silver at home we have
grown rich, our silver mining is as pro-
fitable as ever because we have free coin-
age, which makes every dollar worth 100
cents. The miner takesa dollar's worth of
silver from his mine and with it he pays
for the same help and buys the commod-
ities as formerly.’’
Question—‘‘What would he the effect
upon Mexican industries if the United
States were to remontize silver?”
Answer—‘‘That would be a good thing
for the United States, but a bad thing for
Mexico. The immediate effect of the law
of that kind would be that the price of sil-
ver would rise and its purchasing power
increase to that of gold ; as your country
has more silver than gold (for you are
selling silver and buying gold) you would
at once become prosperous. Not so with us.
We are.a consuming or a purchasing peo-
ple, although we mine silver largely. As
the purchasing power of silver remained
the same at home and increased abroad,
we would naturally begin to buy abroad
at a less price than we can produce for at
home. So you see our growth and de-
velopment would be cheeked and yours in-
creased.”’
PROSPEROUS MEXICO.
‘As to the financial condition of Mexico,
it was never better. The revenues of the
federal government are in excess of the ex-
penses for the first time in her history.
Formerly the government was indebted to
the banks and especially the bank of Mexi-
co in large amounts. Two years ago the
indebtedness of the federal government to
the bankers was $12,000,000. To-day she
has $6,000,000 to her credit. Fifteen years
ago promissory notes of the government
sold at a discount of 4 per cent. per month.
To-day, the Mexican government can bor-
row more money than she wants at 4 per
cent. per annum.”’
In answer to the question as to what did
he attribute the improved credit of the gov-
ernment he said :
“In the first place, we continued to keep
our mints open to free coinage, which gave
us the needed supply of money for the
transaction of business. Then silver re-
tained its purchasing power at home but
lost one-half with you. This acted as a
powerful stimulant to exports, because the
gold received was worth double to us the
amount of the sale, at the same time it has
proved as great a protector against imports
by acting as an increased tariff. Then the
general government has for years been on
a peace footing, and the government con-
solidated and strengthened, so that the
money and industry formerly employed in
internal war can now be employed in the
fostering of commercial enterprises and es-
tablishing new industries. A strong cen-
tral government affording full protection to
our people and capital has encouraged cap-
ital to come in, and fully $300,000,000 of
foreign gold has sought investment here,
which large amount has been employed'in
the establishment of industries or in con-
structing the railroad system we have,
which is being increased by the building of
feeders and which will be the railroads of
the future.”
I asked him from what source did the
government derive its revenue chiefly, to
which he replied :
FREE COINAGE BUILDING UP INDUSTRIES.
“Formerly the tariff taxes represented
fully 75 per cent. of the income of the cen-
tral government. To-day we receive but
40 per cent. of our revenue from that
source. On the other hand, the internal
revenues have increased greatly, which
further demonstrates the increased wealth
and progress of the republic. Again, the
freight coming into Mexico is decreasing on
all the railroads, while the local traffic is
increasing, which furnishes additional evi-
dence of the rapid development of our re-
sources and the benefit to us of the low
price of silver out of Mexico.”
Question—‘‘Then I assume that Mexico
is not desirous that the
UNITED STATES RESTORE BIMETALLISM ?
Answer—*‘Certainly not. That would
be the worst thing that could happen Mexi-
co, if you should open your mints to free
coinage at 16 to 1. If, however, you re-
sume coinage at, say 24 to 1, giving a pre-
mium to gold of say 60 per cent, we could
go along very well, but to open your mints
at 16 to 1 would be disastrous to Mexico.”
“But,’’ I said, ‘‘Mr. Creel, if the United
States resumed the coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, would not that nearly
double the value of the product of your
silver mines and prove of great value to
Mexico ?”’
He replied : “No, most decidedly no.
Silver going to par would not prove of
much benefit to our silver mine owners, as
it would have no greater purchasing power
with us than now. In that case it would
prove of benefit to our foreign stockholders
but not to our people. But if it did benefit
our mines we would prefer to protect our
stock growers and farmers, our largest pro-
ducers. Our internal commerce is grow-
ing so fast we hope soon to consume all the
silver we mine in it ; then it matters not
to us what price others put upon it.”
I left Mr. Creel, feeling I had learned
much for my readers to study over if they
wished to grasp this question, which seems
to have two sides to it.
A MANUFACTURER TALKS.
The next morning when passing down
the street. I was attracted by the sign,
“Julius Meyer, Clothing Manufacturer.”
Thinking this factory might prove of in-
terest I went in, and presented my card,
saying I was from the States, and if agree-
able I would like to inspect his factory. ' I
was very courteously received, and shown
through the factory by him. I was great-
ly surprised to find it fitted up in the
most modern style. From an Otto gasoline
engine, to a patent cutting table, and a
cutter who knew me as a manufacturer in
the States. Upon return to the office I
told Mr. Meyer my mission, and asked
him to favor me with a short interview,
which he kindly granted. He said :
“I established this business about four
years ago, since which time it has grown
rapidly. I am now employing eighty
hands. I have lived thirteen years in
Mexico and like it very well. During that
time there has been a steady improvement
in business, corresponding to the advance
in the premium on gold. If the premium
on gold would advance, business would be-
come proportionately more profitable. If
the premium grew less, it would have the
effect to check our prosperity. The pre-
mium on gold is not the sole cause of our
prosperity, but is a prominent factor. Our
railroads have helped us much ; so has the
increased stability of our government. My
business is also more prosperous because of
our tariff, which affords a liberal protec-
tion. On the material necessary for mak-
ing a dozen pair of overalls the tariff is
about $4.00, while on the overalls it is $12.-
00 Mexican money, or, say $6.00 in_gold.
The protection afforded by the hight ex-
change is also of great benefit, and is equal
to the cost of the article in the United
States, say $7.50 per dozen pair.”’
Question—‘ ‘How would it affect your
business if the United States should remon-
etize silver and bring gold toa par ?”’
Answer : “I should then expect pretty
lively competition from that country which
might cause me to close my factory. Iam
fancy brand. Ten years ago we had not a
|
convinced I cannot manufacture as cheap |
as you do.”
In answer to several questions, Mr. Mey-
er said : “I pay my women 75 centsa day
on the average. Ten—yes five years ago—
these women had no opportunity to secure
work other than in the field, or doing some
mental employment. That is what the
United States did for Mexico when it de-
monetized silver and repealed the Sherman
law ; it may have been hard on the States,
but it was of great benefit to us. Itshould
be known that 75 cents per day means far
far more to these people of economic habits
than to your people, who live much more
expensively. I sell all goods for cash.
“Collections are good and failures are
practically unknown. My losses are so
small from failures I do not estimate that
item in expenses or profits, Our merchants
and manufacturers are making money and
are easy financially, as was proven when
they subscribed $250,000 with which to
erect a brewery in the city, that will shut
out all foreign beer, except possibly some
brewery in the Republic. Now we have
five in operation and one a-building. Yes,
if the United States consults our interest
they will go along as they are now—on a
gold basis.”
About Shellac.
India is the home of the cocus lacca, the
insects that produce the resinous substance
known as shellac. The females puncture
the twigs of several different kinds of trees,
among them the bo, the billar and the
butea, and the twigs become incrusted with
a hard, nearly transparent, reddish, resin-
ous substance that serves the double pur-
pose of protecting the eggs and finally fur-
nishing food for the young insects.
The incrusted twigs are broken from the
trees before the young insects escape and-
are thoroughly dried in the sun. These
dried twigs are called ‘‘stick-lac,’’ and from
them shellac and adye analogous tococh-
ineal are prepared. ‘Seed lac’’ is the
resinous concretion separated from the
twigs, coarsely pounded, and triturated
with water in a mortar, by which nearly all
of the coloring matter is removed.
“To prepare pure shellac the seed-lac is
put into oblong cotton cloth bags and
warmed over a charcoal fire. When the
resin begins to melt the bags are twisted
and the pure clear resin is allowed to flow
over the the fig-wood plank or the smooth
stems of the banyan tree, and cools in the
thin plates or shells which constitute shel-
lac.
Pure Shellac is very valuable; it is
much harder than colophony, and is easily
soluble in alcohol. The best modern
sealing-wax is made of shellac ; it is used
in the preparation of varnishes and japan-
ning- It is also largely used in the manu-
facture of hats, and in India it is fashioned
into beads, rings and many other oma-
ments. The hest shellac comes from Siam.
The grave of Daniel Boone in the old
cemetery at Frankfort, Kentucky, has heen
so defaced by irreverent relic hunters that
a somewhat indefinite proposal is afoot to
replace it by a fine new monument. Penn-
sylvanians should feel a little State interest
in the outcome, for it was this Common-
wealth that gave this brave pioneer and In-
dian fighter to ‘Old Kentuck.” Daniel
Boone was born in Bristol, Bucks County,
over one hundred and sixty-one years ago.
His grandfather had been one of the Eng-
lish immigrants to Philadelphia in the ear-
ly eighteenth century, and was a staid
Friend. Now that Li Hung Chang is jour-
neying around with his own funeral cas-
ket as a companion, it may be doubly cur-
ious to recall that Boone made his own cof-
fin long before his death, and used to keep
it under his bed.
——Miss Clara Barton, president of the
American branch of the Red Cross society,
has started from Constantinople upon her re-
turn home, her mission of distributing re-
lief to the Armenian sufferers having been
ended. It was fortunate that neither she
nor any of her agents engaged in the distri-
bution of the gifts of a generous public were
not massacred. What effect the generosity
of Christian nations will have upon the
fanatical Turks remains to he seen ; but we
have little hope that it will lead the Mo-
hammedans to think there is something
good in the Christian religion. Another
outbreak upon the Armenians may be sus- |
pected, unless the religious hand of the
powerful nations is put forth to prevent it.

In 1873 a bushel of wheat could be
bought for a dollar in gold. To-day a gold
dollar will buy nearly two bushels of
wheat. The ‘‘intrinsic’” value of wheat
to-day, for flour or bread, is the same as in
1873. Now which has changed intrinsic-
ally, gold or wheat?

The Vanderbilt=-Whitney Wedding.
Is the Outcome of a Genuine Love Affair. Secretary
Whitney's Oldest Son Marries the Oldest Daughter
of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who is Worth About
$100,000,000 The Wedding a Quiet Family Affair
but with much Lavishness and Magnificence.
There is a romance connected with the
Whitney--Vanderbilt wedding. The im-
portance of the alliance to the world of
wealth and fashion is easily accounted for,
but the romantic interest attaches itself to
the fact that the wedding will be the fit-
ting finale of an old-fashioned courtship.
Harry Whitney and Miss Gertrude Van-
derbilt have known each other from child-
hood. Their love grew up as they did.
The Vanderbilt mansion on Fifty-seventh
street, New York, is only across the way
from the residence of the Whitneys. . The
association of the children of these families
has always been intimate. At Yale Col-
lege, Harry Whitney was faithful friend
and chum of Willie Vanderbilt, the broth-
er of the bride who died a few years ago.
The close friendship of these schoolmates
made young Whitney a constant visitor at
the Vanderbilt house, where he and his
favorite girl friend, Gertrude, saw much of
each other.
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt is gay, frank
and fresh{aced—every inch a Vanderbilt—
and can scarcely be called pretty. But she
is young, not yet twenty, and her chief and
rare charm is said by her intimates to be
entire freedom from affectation, coupled
with a generous nature, which finds pleas-
ure In making other persons happy.
There is a warmth in her eyes and a
cheeriness in her presence which combine
to give her a most attractive personality.
She is also somewhat distinguished looking.
Her hair is dark and forms a favorable foil
for her rosy complexion.
Miss Vanderbuilt has heen most carefully
educated, under the directions of her
mother, and is talented in many directions.
She is very fond of music, and is a fine lin-
guist. She has made many trips abroad
with her parents. In the season at New-
port and again at Tuxedo Miss Vanderbuilt
entered into the social whirl with all the
spirit natural toa girl in her station. Nev-
ertheless, she finds time for study and for
the pursuit of the more serious duties of
life. She has inherited a good deal of the
old Commodore’s solid sense and already
shows much more business capacity than
might be expected of one of her years and
Sex.
THE WEDDING.
The wedding was solemmnized in the
gold room at the ‘‘Breakers’’, Cornelius
Vanderbilt’s palatial Newport home. The
entire house was elaborately decorated and
the ceremony took place at noon on Tues-
day. A wedding breakfast was served
to nearly one hundred especially favored
guests at twelve tables. The room was ar-
tistically decorated. The tables heautified
with plateaus of bride roses, bridesmaid
roses and Farleyencis fern. The cloth
covered with garlands of orchids and lilies
of the valley. Fourteen persons sat at the
bridal table, white orchids and lillies of
the valley, together with Farleyencis fern,
making up its ornaments. The bhalus-
trades leading to the room flanked by lines
of lofty palms, bay trees and pyramids of
of hydrangeas.
Miss Vanderbilt carried a bridal bouquet
of stephananotis and gardenias, strayed
and showered.
The fair young bride, was attended by
five bridesmaids, who with one exception
are tho greatest heiresses in the country.
The wedding gifts were magnificent, one
was a superb diamond necklace and pen-
dant of perfectly matched stones, and is
worth a small fortune in itself.
Young Mr. Whitney and his bride will
spend their honeymoon at the modern Eden
which his father has had prepared for him,
in the Berkshire Hills, where an estate of
600 acres was hought, and $250,000 spent
to. beautify it for the occupancy of the
bride and groom for a few weeks. Later
in the Autumn they will go abroad and
spend the winter in southern Europe.
They probably will not go alone, for if the
statements of near friends of Miss Vander-
bilt’s family are correct, her cousin, Miss
Edith Shepard, will also be married by
that time and both brides and brides-
grooms will travel together. They will not
return to this country until next spring.
Remedy for Flies on Cattle.
Take coal tar two parts and coal oil and
grease one part each and mix with a small
amount of carbolic acid. Apply with a
cloth by moistening the hairand horns of
the animal with the liquid. In the appli-
cations include feet and legs, and it will
drive every fly away, and one application
will last ten days or more in dry weather.
Apply as often as necessary and your cows
will be entirely secure from flies of all
kinds. Any kind of old lard or grease can
be used. Coal tar is the base of this rem-
edy. and when too thick to spread well, use
more coal oil ; when too thin to adhere well,
use more coal tar. Carbolic acid will cost
ahout 50 or 60 cents in crystals by the
pound, and every farmer should always
keep it on hand, as it, in its many uses, is
indispensable. This remedy is equally
effective as a lice exterminator on poultry,
and is used simply.by painting the sides of
the hennery and roosts and dropping hoards
with the liquid. For young chickens satu-
rate a cloth and place in the bottom of a
box, and place the mother and young
chickens in the hox for an hour or so.
This recipe, says H. F. Work, in the
Drainage Journal, is equal to any prepara-
tion in the market.
Another Record Trip by the St. Paul. |
The sister ships of the American Line are
cutting down the record time from South-
ampton to New York with each trip they
make ; the 6 days 2 hours and 24 minutes
record of last week by the +. Louis being
reduced to 6 days and 31 uutes by the
St. Paul on her voyage ending Friday, the
14th inst. The average speed for the whole
trip was 21.08 knots. When we bear in
mind that the St. Paul was only designed
for a sea speed of 20 knots this is a really
splendid performance. She will undoubt-
edly cross within six days during this
season.
Arizona’s Cattle Business. ,
An idea of the extent of the cattle busi-
ness in southern Arizona may be gathered
from the following figures : There will
shortly be shipped from Tucson 600 cars,
from Wilcox 1,200, from Benson 500, from
Geronimo 200 and from San Simon 200.
The average capacity of a car is 35 head, so
that the total shipment will amount to 94,-
500 head.
——Wheat is selling in Kansas at thirty
cents a bushel, corn for fourteen cents, oats,
at nine cents, and pork at $2.50 a hundred.
Is it any wonder the farmers of the west
are fighting the gold standard when it takes
over three bushe!s of wheat to get a dollar
under the existing gold standard, which
the Republican party pledges itself to con-
tinue in operation.
——1It is impossible to make a trust-
worthy estimate of the losses of the Span-
ish army in Cuba. We know by official
reports that 110,000 troops were landed at
Havana up to May last as re-enforcements
for the garrison of 20,000 men that was
previously maintained in Cuba. We learn
from Havana that about 75,000 soldiers
are now in Spain’s service in Cuba. Sev-
eral thousands men have fallen in combat ;
many thousands have died from epidemic
diseases ; a large number have gone over
to the insurgents, and thousands of in-
valids have been sent back to Spain.
Additional re-enforcements from Spain
have begun to arrive at Havana, and 40,-
000 fresh troops are to be sent there within
Cuba is again to be raised to 130,000, in-
dicating that the losses within eighteen
months have numbered 40,000 men. Spain
has nothing to show for this great sacrifice
of human life.

A BELLEFONTE MAN.
MAKES A PUBLIC STATEMENT
JECT OF INTEREST TO OUR CITIZENS.
ON A SUB-
Mr: B. Steel who is now selling
hooks may never occupy the presi-
dential chair. He may never as-
pho to be Mayor of Bellefonte but
1e is none the less an honest em-
ploye, none the less aetive. and
none the less intelligent. No one
m the city would deny that he is
not an authority on lumber and
every one after reading his state-
ment must eome-to the conclusion
that his opinion of the old Quaker
remedy is backed up by positive
personal experience. Read his
