Razzel Foster, Indiana's famouswom an hater, has been laid to rest at a cost of $1,700. Ilis corpse lies in a coffin mounted in gold whysh cost SBOO and his funeral was probably the most ex pensive and "swell" ever carried out in Indiana by a man of private life, says an Attica exchange. lie was a miser in life, a lord in death. The coffin was constructed under his special orders, and was an exact duplicate of the one in which President. Garfield was laid away and was made by the same men. The cost was SSOO at the factory. Every cab in Attica and surrounding cities was engaged by the miser before he died, and everybody, including the women, whom he hated worse than snakes, had a free ride. The grave in Beulah cemetery was lined with the finest broadcloth decorated with ex pensive roses and smilax. Foster was the most eccentric man in Indiana with out exception. No woman hater ever reached the thirty-third degree he at tained. lie was 62 years of age. When a youth, 40 years ago, he was disappointed in a love affair. It soured him on women, and lie turned to amassing a fortune. He had the old homestead. lie locked the gates against women, and it is claimed that for over 40 years no woman entered. He did his own work, and would not even let a woman mend his clothing, and he wore them threadbare. He was a great stu dent of the Bible, and had it down "pat" on the woman question and could prove by it that they were a curse. He amassed a fortune and then arranged the great funeral to advertise to the women that here, at least, had died one man whom they could not control. A government school to teach how to cook for sick soldiers is carried on at the barracks in Washington under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Stack. The classes, numbering 50, are composed of sturdy private soldiers enlisted in the hospital corps, and the course em braces 24 lessons, with four reviews. Milk is the first subject taken up, fol lowed by broths, jellies and cereals. Especial attention is given to rice on account of operations in the Philip pines. Bacon is a leading topic, and ten ways of preparing hardtack are ex plained. Army hospitals are allowed 40 cents a day for each patient with which to buy milk and other nourishing articles, and the course includes lessons on the principles of buj ing food. Miss Stack is the daughter of a naval cap tain, and has been scientifically trained for this work. A man who says he has never sinned has been found in New York. He is George Remke, driver for a milk com pany. Remke saw an old woman steal two bottles of milk, valued at ten cents, from a doorway, and appeared in the Harlem court against her. The culprit, who showed plainly the lack of nourish ment, said she stole the milk because she was hungry. Remke, when asked by the magistrate if he had ever done anything wrong, said no. The judge told him he was an exceptional man, and said the court would pay for thi milk, if necessary. Remke was shamed into saying that he did not want any pay and finally dgeided not, to press his complaint against the prisoner. The woman was given a dollar by the judge and sent away. The Frankfort (Ky.) Call, right in the midst of the heated political term, springs a fishy story like this: "Mr. Mike Pryor, pilot on the government boat General Poe, vouches for the fol lowing story: 'While the Poe was ten miles above Frankfort, a few days ago, a large sycamore log was seen floating in the river. It is the mission of this boat to clean the river of snags, so, while getting the log out of the river, they heard a great noise inside the log, which, upon investigation, proved to be two catfish, weighing 42 pounds each. The next day they saw another log of the same kind, sycamore and hollow, and in this log they found one fish weighing 45 pounds.' " The world's production of gold last year amounted in value to nearly $295,- 000,000. That is an enormous sum, yet it is a mere trifle in comparison with the value of other products far less glitter ing. The output of the wheat fields makes that of the gold mines seem poo* indeed. LOOKING FOR A GRAVE. The Urmorrm 1 )' IN in no Mml a rilKlit an It Wn* in the Yeur 18Q3. The resolutions committee of the Mas sachusetts democratic convention re jected a resolution demanding the prompt and vigorous prosecution of the campaign in the Philippines and repu diating Aguinaldo's statement that lie had the support of the democratic party in the United States. Mr. Jaquith, who introduced the resolution, gave the committee an opportunity to disavow sympathy with Aguinaldo. The com mittee in rejecting the resolution ac cepted Aguinaldo's statement as to a virtual cooperation between him and the democrats and declined to censure the leader of the rebellion against the United States government. On the re jection of his resolution, Mr. Jaquith resigned from the committee. At a meeting of the democratic state convention in Massachusetts in 18G3 a resolution was introduced declaring that "in the present emergency the democratic party, banishing all feelings of mere passion and resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole country." It was laid on the table, and there was adopted instead a resolution declaring that the democratic party was opposed "to any and all efforts on the part of the administration to con tinue the present deplorable civil war IS DEWEY TO BE HOBSONIZED ? Aunty Democracy—Oh, isn't he too sweet for anything 1 Admiral Dewey—l'll bet my boots Hobson didn't face anything like this. for the purpose of sub jugation or eman cipation." To tiiis the Massachusetts republicans offered a resolution which pledged unwavering and unconditional support to the national government in its effort to suppress the rebellion. On the issue thus joined 23,000 democrats fell away from their party and the re publican candidate for governor was elected by a majority of 41,270. In Ohio in 1883 the democrats made an issue of sedition by denouncing the Lincoln administration for the arrest of Yallandigham. On that issue, in the largest vote ever polled in that state, the republican candidate for governor obtained a majority of 101,095. In New York in 1803 the democratic convention protested against the arrest of Yallan digham, and recommended a policy of conciliation and the suspension of hos tilities. The democrats had all the ma chinery of election in their hands, but upon this issue Chauncey M. Depew, re publican. was elected secretary of state by a majority of 29,405, whereas Gov. Seymour, democrat, had been elect ed in 1802 by a majority of 10,748. In every state in which the copper head issue was presented in 18G3 the people sustained the union or repub lican candidates. In Illinois the cop perhead spirit was shown in the action of ilie democrat ie legislature which was sent home by Gov. Yates. In Indiana the Indiana legislature attempted to retard the organization of Indianaregi ments by tying the hands of the gov ernor. At the next election in 1564 the republicans carried Indiana by a major ity of 20;883 and Illinois by a majority of 31,675. Copperheadism in 1803 ostentatiously offered sympathy for the rebels, derided the president, opposed the war policy, resisted the draft, described the union soldiers as vandals and hirelings, and intrigued with traitors in Canada who wereplottingtodefeat American armies in the field. Copperlyadism in 1599 en vournges the rebels in the Philippines, vilifiesthe president, repudiates the war policy, endeavors fo excite mutiny in the army, strives to prevent enlistments, describes American soldiers as murder erg, and incites the traitors and pirates in Hong-Kong and Manila to destroy American influence. Not one thing advocated by the cop perheads of 1803 came to pass. Every thing that they opposed triumphed. And yet they were stronger—ten times stronger—than the copperheads of this lay who seek to make a campaign on xaetly similar issues.—Chicago Inter >cean. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1899. A VOICE FROM THE FRONT. The Opinion of « Soldier AVlm In llut tllnif for tlie I'liiK 1" Hit! rhili|>|>luc-M. There is published in Manila a week ly newspaper called Freedom, "an American newspaper for American sol diers." its existence is a characteristic token of A merican progress in the Phil ippines. Whenever an American army sets out on a business errand its equip ment includes printing presses and spelling books, as well as guns aud pro visions. Si(*e by side with every ad vance of the flag, it establishes schools and newspapers, the educational forces which are to defend the ground which has been won by the valor of heroes in the field. The Manila newspaper, fitly named Freedom, sends back to America a message from the firing line which shows how the Atkinsons, Altgelds, Lentzes and their fellow disloyalists are regarded by the fighting men at the front. Take the following extract from the leading article in a recent number of our esteemed Philippine contempo rary: "The war i n Luzon must goon; it was brought on by tl e overbearing natives, and there is only one course under heaven to pursue. The sovereignty of the I'nited States must be acknowl edged in the archipelago before the next step can be taken. Any other course would be folly. "Why not cease this chatter about the independence of the Filipinos until the Philippine commission has reported? "People of A in erica, if you have a flag, honor it; if you have a government, support it; if you have an administra tion, strengthen it; if you have troops at the front, uphold them; and if you have traitors, damn them eternally." There is no faltering whine in tl is sturdy voice. It rings with the courage of the patriot who knows that his cause is just, and that his fellow Amerieai s are with him heart and soul in the wearisome task to which duty has called him. lie is planting the standard of liberty in a land where it has never been seen before; he is opening a new empire to the influence of peaee, com merce and Christian civilization, and already he sees upon the horizon the rising dawn of victory. Which speaks more truly the senti ment, impulse and aspiration of true Americanism—the voice of Lentz pro claiming Aguinaldo as "one of the world's heroes," or this rugged voice from the outposts, crying: "Shame on him that would halt—shame on him that would trail the flag in the dust!" —N.

Washington, Oct. 3. —The home-com. ing of Admiral Dewey—for hence forth the national capital is to be his home —was made the occasion for the greatest tribute ever paid by Wash ington to any individual. After the preliminary welcome in New York, itself unsurpassed in its kind, it re mained for the highest in the oilicial world to hold out the hand of greet ing to the famous admiral, and to join with the people who are to be bis fellow citizens in bidding him wel come. The citizens had made every prep aration to make the occasion worthy of their hero. The decorations were elaborate. Pennsylvania avenue was one mass of colored bunting along the entire line of march from the sta tion to the White House and. not content with this, few private citizens failed to make some display of color on their residents. Unique designs in fairy lamps dotted the horizon; great searchlights threw broad beams of bright light across the blue sky of a clear October evening, and the stately Capitol stoc.d revealed in all its beauty in the powerful rays of many concentrated lights. The admiral's journey from New York was a continuous ovation, limited in ils intensity only b\ the density of population. It was said by the rail road officials and trainmen that the ovation during the run from New York to Washington was the most remarkable demonstration that lias ever taken place along the line. Every town turned out its full pollu tion and every house and crossroads settlement was turned inside out to see the flying special pass. On arriving at the White House Col. Tlingham, representing the president, stepped forward to escort Dewey io the east room, where Secretary Long, Assistant Secretary Allen and a bril liant assemblage of naval officials were ready to extend to him the greeting of the navy. Secretary Long was at tin' door, and after the iirst greetinifs Secretary Long invited the admiral to accompany him to the president's library, where Mr. Mc- Kinley and the cabinet were awaiting him. Arm in arm, Secretary Long and the admiral proceeded to the upper floor of the mansion. The members of the cabinet had assembled in the cabinet room, while the president win alone in the library adjoining. As Secretary Long entered with the ad miral the president came forward to greet 'lie famous sailor and, grasp ing his hand, wished hint a hearty welcome. The greetings with the cabinet were brief and then the president and Ad miral Dewev headed the party toward The reviewing stand. The crowd seemed to kn< w that the hero was ap proaching. for a great wave of cheer ing went up and Pennsylvania ave nue was bathed in light from end to end. The stand had been erected at the head of Pennsylvania avenue just south of the treasury building and as he moved through the stand to the prow built out from its front, lean ing on the arm of President Me Kin ley the crowd started a mighty cheer which passed down the avenue and was taken up for blocks. The head of the civic parade which had been arranged in honor of the admiral began to pass in review be fore him shortly after 8 o'clock. There were many novel and interesting fea tures. The spectacle as the march ers came up the avenue in the glare of the red lights, under sweeping arches of stars from thousands of Roman candles was beautiful. The beginning of the march was heralded bv the bursting of thousands of giant crackers, while bombs along the line s"til showers of fire into the air. Washington. Oct. 4.—The culmina tion of Admiral Dewey's triumphal liotne-coming was readied yesterday in the shadow of the dome of the na tional Capitol. Here he received from the hands of tilt president the mag nificent jeweled sword voted him by congress in commemoration of the vic tory of Manila bay. This was the official provocation for the ceremony. But mere official sanction could never have thrown into the demonstration ihe enthusiasm that was meted out to the admiral as lie appeared before the vast audience, composed not only of the highest officials in the land, bu! of spectators drawn from every quar ter of the I'nited States. The batlle of Manila bay was not forgotten, but it might be said to liaYe been relegat ed almost to second place in the de sire to do honor to the man who had proved himself as great after victory as before it.and who had shown in the long and trying months that fol lowed his naval triumph the qualities of a statesman and a wise administra tor, as well as those of the fighting leader of a victorious fleet. President McKinley in honor of Ad miral Dewey last night gave the larg est dinner party in the history of the White House social functions. Covers were laid for over 80 persons. The guests included the cabinet, the gov ernors of nine states, justices of the supreme court, some of the members of both houses of congress, army and navy officials mid others. It was fl brilliant affair. \ 35 I'er Out. Itate for lull l.ouua. New York, Oct. 3. —The call loan rate was carried up to 35 per cent, in Willi street yesterday. None of the expected relief to the money market was in sight. The developments in London lessen the probability of fur ther gold imports and the condition of New York exchange at interior points indicates a continuance of the demand for funds from that source. The money left in the city by the vis itors to the Dewev celebration was not in evidence in Wall street, though much had been made of this prospect ;[ relief by the speculators. MILLIONS FOR WAR.

Uloemfontein, Oct. 5. —The govern ment publishes a telegram from Bosh of stating' tliat the British forces have crossed the border and that lighting liar, commenced. Another telegram says the troops have crossed the bor der. but that no lighting has occurred. London Oct. s.—The most interest ing announcement in connection with the Transvaal crisis is that the chan cellor of the exchequer, .Michael 11. Peach, has already sanctioned the provisional expenditure of £3,000,000 and that the government will not ex ceed that limit without authority from parliament, which will be asked to vote a sum not exceeding £8,000,- 000. The war board yesterday discussed and drew up arrangements to insure the safety of the route from Durban to Laings Xek, so that large bodies of troops may on disembarkation be rapidly forwarded up the country to the front without confusion or crowd ing at the base. It is stated that the war office has decided that the army corps for service in South Africa shall be much larger than originally esti mated and that it now eonsi>ts of over 40,000 men. The preparations for the dispatch of this force, including the chartering of big ocean liners, are steadily proceeding. The Press association learns that the dispatch drawn up by the cabinet on Friday was still unsent up to last evening. On the other hand a tele grnm from Hrussels gives from a "well informed source" the news that Herr Leyds, the representative in Europe of the South African republic, has re ceived confirmation of the report that President Kruger has addressed an ultimatum to Kngland demanding the withdrawal of the British forces from the frontier within 40 hours and that it was delivered on Monday. This re port. however, lacks official confirma tion. The confidence of the military iu thorities at the cape is shown by a dispatch received last night, from Cape Town, which stated that at a conference between the military au thorities there and Gen. White, who will command the British forces in Xatal, and (Jen. Walker, held to con sider the situation, Gen. White ex pressed himself as confident that the British would be able to present a force sufficient to repel any attack. A dispatch from Volksrust says the Boer camp on the Xatal border now comprises 8.000 men and is growing daily. The camp breathes a religious fervor. The commissariat arrange ments, the dispatch says, are defec tive. One of the largest corps lay in the veldt without shelter during a heavy thunder storm. Commandant Joubert is momentarily expected to assume command of the Boer forces. The report of a seizure by the Transvaal government of £300,000 in gold which was on the way to Cape Town from Johannesburg is confirmed from two sources. The Cape Argus asserts that the. Boers made the seizure at \ crenig ing the amount being the week's shipment of cold from the rand to Cape Town, and forwarded the treas ure to Pretoria. INSURGENTS ARE ACTIVE. fteportH ol at a Number ol B'oiuf* <'ome Iroin tlanlltt-Two At* ttieUM on < alambn are ICepnlwed. Manila. Oct. 5. —Several hundred in surgents have reoeeupied I'orae, which was captured by Gen. MacArtliur on September 28 and evacuated by the Americans the following day. The in surgent forces are reported as moving toward Mexico, southeast of Angeles. The object of the double movement is, apparently, to get behind the Ameri can garrison on both sides of the Ma nila-lJagupan railway. Keconnaissances from Mexico by the Fourth cavalry toward Santa Ana, northeast of Mexico, and toward Ara yat developed the fact that the insur gents are in position at both points. An American private was killed in tlie skirmish at Santa Ana. The Ara yat party learned that Scott and Ed wards, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, who are missing, are prisoners at Ma galaye. The insurgents on Wednes day made two attacks on Calamba, in which the commanding officer reports 00 Filipinos were killed and many wounded. Two companies of the Twenty-first regiment repelled each attack, losing two men and seven wounded. Bolomen surprised an American out post near Cuagua. killing two privates. The other two escaped. While four sailors of the cruiser Baltimore were entering the Bacoor river in. a boat after the fight on Tues day they received a volley, wounding three. It, is understood that the volley came from United States sol diers who, having been ordered to prevent the passing of boats, fired by mistake upon the Baltimore's men. Bear Admiral Watson announces the recovery of the United States gun boat Urdaneta, which was captured and beached by the insurgents near Orani, on the Omni river, where she had been blockading. The expedition was entirely successful, tie Americans suffering no casualties. An attack upon Paranaque was made by the insurgents last night, and rebel sympathizers in the town set lire 1o a number of buildings. Col. Daggett, repulsed the attack and de clined offers of asistanee from Ba coor. The extent of the damage done by the incendiary fires has not been learned. Carter'* Came lit Court. York, Oct.
