DELOS BURLINGAME.
Bi/.erville, Pa., Feb. 20, 1899.
From, our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, June sth. 1899.
I'resident McKinley will issue
uo call for volunteers for the
Philippines for sometime, if it all.
Owing to the rainy season, no ex
pensive military operations will he
i inducted in the Philippines before
full. Gen. Otis has reported that
:10.000 men are all that he will
need, and regulars will he sent to
him in sufficient numbers to keep
lis army at about that number
and still allow all of the volunteers
aho wish to do so, to return home
;nd be mustered out. Gen. Otis
has also been authorized so enlist
as many natives as he cares to.
Vdjutant General Cor bin says that
ill the volunteers will be home in
The course of live or six weeks.
The speeches made when the
aew Spanish minister to President
McKinley were out of the ordinary
.it the matter of plain language,
ihe minister said: "I have come
o renew the relat ions of friendship.
•\hieh have existed from of ohl be
ween .Spain and the i". S., and
.hicli were interrupted by the war
: last year, and now. looking only
o the future. Spain desires that
r relations with this republic may
/C as friendly as they were in
iwnes past and from the days in
■ hi< h this country was struggling
'gain its independence." Presi
dent McKinley said in reply:
■You will find. Mr. Minister, a
•ordial welcome in this country,
. it only from those whose friend
ship you acquired during your
. inner residence. ' at from all our
people, who rejo ; »asldo at the
enewal of the ncient bonds of
unity which, wii <a briefinterrup
ion. have united our nations for
more than one hundred years.
That these friendly relations may
" confirmed and strengthened, to
the advantage of both peoples, is
;■ ' ivnest wish and I can assure
a, 1 ; that every member of this
■.■ eminent will heartily co-oper
• vl.h you to that desirable end."
i ! eis naturally much gossip
.n official and diplomatic circles
<i 'out the official announcement
hut Germany had purchased from
Spain its remaining island posses
ions in the Pacific, paying 85,000,-
00 therefor.
A member of the Cabinet when
- iced whether this government
i'elL any concern about the deal, re
plied: ••No: why should il ? We
aave acquired everything we want
in that quarter.'' It is now re
called with amusement that while
ihe I'aris Peace Conference was
was in session, the German news
papers. known as government
organs, fairly teemed with edi
torials telling the Tinted States to
>e just and liberal to her fallen foe,
md pointing out the greatness of
magnanimity in a nation. It was
thought at the time that these
...rticles were printed because of the
•ympathy of the German govern
ment for Spain, instead of being
aspired by the selfish desire to
-;eep the 1. S. from taking articles
hat Germany had already bar
;aine<: to buy, if they were not
taken.
The inventive genius of the
i itr\ ! s always most active when
the country is most prosperous,
ami it was never more active than
t is time. But. by the good
management of Commissioner
iHiell, the efficiency of the I . S.
Patent Office has increased even
: :stcr than the number of applica
tions for patents. This is so
marked that the prominent
patent law firm of C. A. Snow &
r i., which has obtained more than
_'o 'OO patents for inventors in
■every city, town and village in the
country, say they are getting
prompter—the average is from four
"o ten weeks—and more intelligent
■ tion upon application for patents
than at any time in their twenty
ve years' pi act ice.
Private" Dal/ell, who knows
Ohio politics from top to bottom
is ji -t returned from the State.
He speaks with enthusiasm of the
Lie]) l'olican ticket and platform,
and -ays there are no serious
insnis in the Republican rank.-.
H • predicts that Judge Nash will
eii tod Governor by a majority
■in ]es- than Ho.ooo and says lie
'
mi higher.
Frank Thompson, President of
the Penna. R. R., died suddenly
at his home at Merion, last Mon
day. This removes the foremost
railroad man in the country.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1899.
A grocer in a New York paper tells j
i of a bride who entered his store and
j gave an order for "ten pounds of j
paralyzed sugar, one pound of dese
i crated codfish and a bag of fresh salt-- '
I and be sure it is fresh." Composing his
features into a respectful sobriety, the
grocer ventured to suggest the addition
!of some very nice horseradish. "No," j
I was her reply, "we couldn't use it; we
don't keep a horse." When she had j
; flitted, the grocer sat down on the ice ;
I box and fanned himself with a patent
J washboard, although the temperature 1
I outside was nearly zero.
Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To bo successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage of
; it. A little forethought will also save
1 much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle <if Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
! and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until ne
cessity compels it and then ruin his
best horse going for a doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one
pays out twenty-five cents, the other is
out a hundred dollars and then won
! ders why his neighbor is getting richer
! while he is getting poorer. For sale by
