Perhaps the leaking out of this mysteri- ous ‘‘loss’'—not steal, of course—may result in a recovery of the ‘‘lost” posit. “Lo, the poor Indian, whose un. tutored mind,” sees friends in the pale face, who robs him all-around. de- Tae fact that neither Governor Penny packer or any of his hangers on has prosecuted a single newspaper under the press muzzler law, is proof of the iniquitous wrong and unconstitutionality of the muzzler, and that they are afraid to bring any editor into court under that law, The press goes right along exer. cising its sacred, blood-bought, right of Freedom. ———————— PRINCE ADELBERT, Emperor William's third son, accompanied by his adjutant, Captain Schimmelmann, will pass through America on his way to assume | his duties on the cruiser Hertha, in Chinese waters. The Prince will travel by way of New York and San Francisco. When this young German—""Dutchman”’ —arrives here the ‘‘society’ snobs, macy of whom deny their German origin, will break their necks to be able to shake hands or be allowed to bow to him. Das sind the Amerikanischie Fra'z. baendchen und Fatnicksen. RECENTLY a western man who had come tothe end of his race committed suicide leaying behind a letter addressed to the young meu of America in which be solemnly warned them to avoid alcos hol, gambling dens, places of infamous resort and everything calculated to de. grade and defile, He declared that such associations shatter the fairest prespects and blast the brightest hopes. There is no doubt that his testimony is true, al. though it isnot likely to have much in- fluence in restraining young men, or old ones either, from following in his foot. steps if their inclinations lead that way. Young man, remember, No vice president, who became presi dent by accident, ever succeeded in being elected to the presidency. John Tyler, on the death of President Harri. son from illness, failed to be nominated for the office by the whig party. Mil liard Fillmore, upon the death of Presi. dent Taylor, had a good administration, but the republicans refused to nominate him for President. Andrew Johnson, elected vice president, failed to be nomi. nated by the republicans—they preferred to impeach him. Upon the assassination of president Garfield, by Guitean, who voted for him, vice president Arthur be- came president, and had a clean admin. istration, but his party refused to put him in nomination for president. Upon the assassination of President McKinley, by Schoigoz who voted for McKinley, vice president Roosevelt became presi dent, party are quietly planning to prevent his being nominated by the republicans for the office. fate, To Catch Eels—New License. The act of April 27, 1903, in regard to catching of eels requires a license. The provision is $s for a license, this license being to cover only a period from August 27 to December 1, The act legalizes the use of baskets, which are to be bottomless, from sunrise to sunset, but baskets can only be used during the period from August 27 to De cember 1. The catching of eels must be licensed, the fee being $s, to be paid to the county treasurer for the lssue of the license, one dollar being allowed the treasurer for the collection and the re. mainder to be paid to the fish commis. sloners to be used In paying watchmen or wardens, who shall enforce the license act, The license must be renewed an. nually and the certificate must contain as well as name and address a descrip. tion of the man to whom the license is issued. A certified copy must then be forwarded to the State Fish Commission's office in this city, unless “Naval War of | page 198, of that work from the pen of | Theodore | perate enough to say that Mr. Jefferson | “was perhaps the most incapable Execu- and many of the bosses of the | ROOSEVELT REVIEWED. | CE ————— —— | Since Mr. Roosevelt became President | of the United States and has been in the | limelight, the people of the country who | want to keep up with the times and keep Je themselves posted on all the things that | can be said for and against a man in | public life, have been reading the many | books that have been written by the | fecund pen of the man who now occupies the highest office in the nation, Some of | the students of this city haye found that a | pecularity of Roosevelt's writings is that | he has had very few kind words to say of | any man who ever occupied a high place | in this country; that on the contrary he | has lambasted the | them. life out of most of Take, for instance, his opinion of Thomas Jefferson, expressed in his i812." In volume xi., Roosevelt, he was intem- tive that ever filled chair.” the Presidential That seems to be pretty tough | on the author of the Declaration of In- | dependence, the man who acquired the Louisiana territory, who was twice Presi- dent of the United States, both times elected by ballots and not by bullets, who was the founder of the University of Virginia, and whose teachings have ever been the bulwark of popular government in this country as against the rule of the classes, Mr. Roosevelt seems not only to be an inconoclast, but of late years he seems to have become a painfully prag- matic preacher. He defends and pro- claims the axiomatic at the slightest pro- vocation. He is showing a reprehensible tendency to lecture the public on self. evident propositions, and to do it with a suspicion of sensation purpose, as, not- ably, in his warning against race-sunicide and his recent sermon on decent living. The people of this country, if I am any judge of every.day human nature, do not like to be lectured, They think they know'what they want and how to get it when they want it. That is one of the reasons why Grover Cleveland lost popu. larity while in the White House. If Mr, Roosevelt will continue in his present course he will very aptly illustrate the point of “Tom’’ Reed's sarcastic saying : “What I like about Roosevelt is his en. thusiasm over his own discovery of the Ten Commandments.” There is some rather severe criticism of the President here in political circles in the national capital on account of the recent naval review, That review or- dered by the President to be held prac. tically in his back vard in Oyster Bav, partook very much of the autocratic methods of the Car of the Kaiser. No previous President ever ordered the ships of the American Navy to come to his home in order to review them and make a war.like speech to the officers and men of the Navy. That review, for which there was no need or warrant, ex- cept to make a hoodlum boliday for the inhabitants of Oyster Bay and vicinity, cost the taxpayers of the country not less than fifty thousand dollars for powder burned in salutes to the Commander.in- Chief of the American Navy He may pext take a notion that he wants to re. view the American Army If it does it will cost the people not less than a half million dollars to concentrate the troops for the review. The people need not be surprised at anyting. The Post Office Department investiga. tion seems to have petered out complete. lv. Ifanything is doing at the big pile on Pennsylvania Avenue no man can find it out. Since the statute of limita. tions let out so many who ought to be wearing stripes, it seems to bave paral ized the energies of the investigators, Al. though the Grand Jury in Brooklyn in. dicted George W. Beavers for com plicity in the frauds and peculations in the Post Office Department, no attempt has ever been made to apprehend him and bring him to the bar of justice. It is believed here that the reason for this apathy on the part of the government officials Is that Beavers is another one of those “Temple pullers,” and the powers that be are not hunting for that kind of game. It is a safe wager that the last has been beard of sensational developements in the Post Office investigation.

These beads are a great curiosity, and | highly prized as relics, David, son of Galbrath Knox, of Buf- falo Run, was instantly killed while fell- ing a tree Feb. g, 1814. “There are still (1877) preserved among the descendants of the first settlers of the county a number of valuable Revolu- tionary relics; one of the most interest. ing is in the hands of W. W. Potter, Esq., of Bellefonte, great-grandson of Gen, Potter. It is a battle flag captured from the Royal Grenadiers on the field of Mon. mouth by the late Judge Wm. Wilson, of Northumberland county, who was grand- father (maternal) of Mr. Potter, its pres. ent possessor. This flag is of corded silk, of a rich yellow color. “The em- blem at the upper right hand corner is composed of the cross of St. George, to denote England, and St. Andrew's cross in the form of X, to denote Scot. land. The flag has the appearance of having been wrenched from the staff, and has a few blood stains on the device; otherwise, it looks as bright and new as if bad just come from the gentle fingers that made it, although a century has rolled away since its golden folds droop- ed in the sultry air of that June day bat- tle.” This precious relic of the revolutionary war is still in the possession of the Pot. ter family, on Linn street, Bellefoute, at the home of John I. Potter, son of the aboved named W. W, Potter, Esq., and great-great grandson Gen. Potter, The U.
