THE YETHOLM PALLET
A Romantic Spot Amid the Cheviot
Bills and a Fine Example of
THE OLD SCOTTISH BOEDER TOWN.
A Famous Gipsy Settlement Where a
Great Contest Took Place.
C0E0XATI0X OP A EOMANX QUEEN
rCOBKESrOXDEyCE OF TIIE DISFATCD.l
YETnowr, Scotland. August 21.
I always love to come to Yetholm. It is
a sweet, old, out-of-the-way spot, hid like a
meadow lark's nest in one of Scotland's
shining border Tales. Besides, my old
friends, the Gipsies, who hare made the
place their haunt and home for nearly 400
years, greet me &o joyously that their ra
diant faces, vise-like hand-grasps and loudly
bellowed, ever-quaint words of greeting,
thrill me as one knows in a gladsome home
coming. The valley ot Yetholm itself ii enchant
ing enough without its tinge and flavor of
true Gipsyism. On all sides rise the noble
Cheviot Hills, more beautiful and charm
ing in reality than anywhere painted in all
border minstrelsy. Toe vale is so shut in
from the outside world that it is only ac
cessible by two roads, so hidden, as one
wanders in hamlet and valley,that no egress
from the romantic spot can anywhere
be seen. But winding through the Cheviot
peaks, one thoroughfare leads to Kelso,
and another to Jeubunr, both places
fine examples of old border towns,
through most entrancing scenes. The one
trailing along to Kelso gives noble views of
the region at the junction of theTeviot and
Tweed, and of the ruins of Koxburg Abbey,
to my mind the sweetest spot and the finest
Scottish medieval ruin to be found. Just
bevoud where it leaves Yetholm through
the circuitous opening in the bills, is the
famous Cherry-trees-Manse, reference to
which ever brings a broad smile to every
Scotch face.
Overshadowing Yetholm itself are six
noble hilh of the Cheviot, Sherbrough,
Staerough, Gcldsnout, Green Hamilton,
Harelaw and great Yencen, hiding from
the hamlet the billowy, verdure-clad readies
of EnglUh Northumbrian vales. At the
cresctnt-likeba.se of the five hills is an an
cient Scottish hamlet
YETHOLM GirSY SETTLEMENT.
This is old Yetholm. "Winding out of its
russet side underneath a shadowy vaulting
of trees a pleasant way leads across Bow
wont Water vale, where, o ten in the very
water itsi.li, occur the fiercest struggle of
the lamons Bowmontside games of P asten's
E'en, or Shrove Tuesday. This sunny road,
nt last threading around the Lota side of
Veuchen, passes a gray old mill, then is lost
in a mass of loliage by an ancient manse in
which lives my friend, good Minister David
Bon, ior more than a quarter of a century the
pastor ot the heathen Romany tribe at his
very door: ami then, to the right and left.
and before vou, triuging a ragged triangle
enclosing Yetholm Green, are all that are
left of tne cottage homes of what was once
the larger Gipsy settlement in any English
speaking land. This is Kirk-Yetholm.
Gipsies stole iuto Scotland irom Ireland
about the year 1500. So consummately
shrewd were they in carrying out tneir as
Himption ot pilgrimage under the leader
ship oi Antnonius Gawino, Karl of Little
Egypt, and of being uuuer commands of
tbel'opeto '"wander seven years without
sleeping in a Bed," that they actually se
cured the countenance if not the favor of
James IV. Tney received no molestation
worthy to be called such until 1579, when
James VI. "took the Government into bis
own hands." Then a statute was passed
".'or pumshmeut of strong and idle vaga
bonds and beggars, and relief of the poor
and impotent." This statute was very se
vere against the Gipsies, and ordered "that
their ears should be cut off and themselves
banished. Tins law was ratified in 1592,
and another statute passed in 151)7 that they
be. on conviction, made staves for life.
MOnn STKIXGEXT LAWS.
In 1G00 another act enforcing all previous
statute bearing on their regulation and
punishment, and severely condemning the
negligence ot justices and commissioners in
not putting previous laws against them into
exicutiou. was passed; and in 1C0S the
Privy Council ordered the whole race to
leave the kingdom by a certain date, under
the penalty of death. In 1G09 this order
was made a perpetual law, but it appears
that, it these statutes were not actually set
at defiance by the Gipsies themselves, they
were effectually voided by the sympathy
and assistance extended them by tlie differ
ent powerful Scottish clans, some of which
were allied to the wanderers by marriage or
secret and still more influential ties, which
the Government at that period very loosely
controlled.
But the history of Scottish Gipsies after
the beginning ot the seventeenth century is
not marked by striking episodes save in a
leu instances, and those or a local nature
and interest, where the Komany people
were persecuted and punished much the
same as nil vagabonds coming under the
surveillance of bcoltish justice. The most
that can be said of them is that they were
Gipsies Royal edicts and parliamentary
statutes, whatever tneir severity, operated
about the same as eriic s and statutes would
have operated ag iust foxes. A special
fiurrv oi excited vigilance aud Gipsy preju
dice would from tune to time cause renewed
per-eeution, which only drove the Gipsies
into their hiding places, where, still like
foxes, they propagated the more rapidly,
and :iftcr quiet had returned tliev came to
the surtrci.- again, more daring Gipsies and
more ot them. Perhaps some poor lame
lor o. a Gipsy would occasionally get
caught and be clubbed to death by the
butt end of cruel Scotch law, as though
there had been a mighty conquest; but that
was all. They never failed to thrive under
persecution in all European countries to
almost as great a degree as thej have pros
pered: under conditions of absolute lreedom
in America.
FAMOUS EOMASY FOLK.
The most noted of Scottish Gipsies were
Autbonius Gawino, the original chief and
leader, the Bailyows, atterward the Baillies,
from whom the many families of American
Gipsy Baileys are descended, and old John
Paw, progenitor of all the Gipsy Paws,
Pitas and Palls of Scotland and America.
Many members of the Paa family have at
tained wealth and political preierment in
Scotland. The once wealthy Palls, mer
chants of Dunbar, are Gipsies. One of the
Palls became a colonel in the British army.
Another served a term in Parliament
Hosts have been and are under-sheriffs
and bailiffs. Lady Austruther, wife
of the late Sir John Anstrutber, of
Elie. was Jenny Paa, a Gipsy woman of
great wit and beauty. These Palls, or Paas,
of Dunbar, are also connected by marriage
with the great banking family of Coutts,
-widely known in America through the fre
quent social intelligence concerning the
noted Baroness Burdette-Coutts. "While
the celebrated poem, "The Gipsie Laddie,"
commemorates the abduction by the Gipsy
King, John Paa, in 1643, of Lady Casillis,
wife of the Karl of Casillis, ''a sullen and
ill-tempered man, more given to theology
than ilka-day goodness," who was absent on
& deputation to ratify the solemn league and
covenant of that year at Westminster. Sir
"Walter Scott created his great character of
"Meg Merrilies," ont of Jean Gordon, a
Gipsy woman of this very Kirk Yetholm;
and I have many times broken bread with
her descendants here as well as during my
wanderings among the Gipsies in America.
Scott himself said of Jean Gordon: "She
bad a great sway among her tribe. " She
was quite a Meg Merrilies, and possessed
the savage virtue of fidelity in the same
perfection."
The interest in Kirk Yetholm as a haunt
of the Scottish Gipsies lies rather in what
they once were here, than in what they
now ore. They originally acquired their
footing in the place through bravery in
battle as adherents of Scottish border lords.
That was fully 200 years ago. The fen
leases of many of their homes and at one
time nearly an hundred cottages were in
their possession were remarkable as illus
trating the friendship existing between the
nomads and the successive lords of the
manor. These were either for "nineteen
times nineteen years," or, as with some of
the more favored ones, "as long as grass
crows and water runs."
A BEMAEKABLE CONTEST.
Their increase here undoubtedly reached
its climax at about the middle of the present
century. Over 400 Gipsies then had their
homes in Kirk Yetholm; and at the death
of their chief, William Paa, in 1847, they
mustered from Yetholm and its immediate
neighborhood COO Gipsies aud 300 asses as
an escort for his remains from Coldstream to
the parish burying-ground at Yetholm.
This Paa was theacknowledged king of the
Scottish Gipsies. Shortly after His death
on the sudden decease of Charles Blythe,
King William's immediate successor, a
remarkable contest took place between
Faa's two daughters, Princess Esther and
Princess Helen the latter a hale old woman
still living here alone in her cottage at the
side ot Tinker's Green, Yetholm.
These Faas were the pick of the Scottish
Gipsy race, and by their sagacity, address
and physical prowess were able for nearly
300 rears to exercise royal supremacy. The
Blythe line was extinct in Scotland; and no
one could be found to dispute the royal line
reverting to one or the other of the two Faa
Princesses. Helen, the younger, urged her
claims on the ground of the well-known and
often-expressed wish of the dead King that
she should eventually succeed him. Esther,
the elder, claimed the succession on the
grounds of seniority. For months the
liveliest imaginable political canvass
was waged throughout the Gipsy
camps of Scotland; the sisters oiten
taking secret and npid journeys
of hundreds of miles to further their re
spective interests. At last the contest
wages so bitter that these sisters of royal
blood came to blows, the first and last
breach of the peace ever accredited to Gip
sies in Yetholm. They were both women
of powerful build, over six feet in height,
and the encounter has been described to me
by an eye witness now living here as of the
most savage and ferocious character. Esther
was victorious, and Helen, or black-bearded
Nell, as she is called by the villagers, "got
herseP weel lickit." This affray apparently
decided the contest; lor when "testing-day,"
or Shrove Tuesday, on which the famous
Bowmont games are still notably celebrated.
Princess Helen and her followers offered no
objection to Princess Esther's
ELECTIOX AND COKOiTATICW.
The crowning of Queen Esther whose
full name was Esther Paa Blythe Ruther
lord, the Blythe and Rutherlord addenda
coming from marriages with worthless men
of her race was an affair oi great note at
Yetholm. Her Mjesty was attended by a
roval brother, several princes aud princesses
of'the blood, Prince Henry, her son, now a
worthless vagabond, many grandchildren
and a great retinu- of over 300 Gipsies with
as many townspeople and gentry of the sur
rounding country. The cavalcade proceed
ed to the Yetholm Cross. A jolly old black
smith named George Gladstone, who had
performed a like office lor Charles Blythe,
and thus assumed the title of "Archbishop
of Yetholm," wrought a resplendent coro
net of tin, snstaimng a tremendous bcotcn
thistle. In presence of the great multitude
he made proclamation of his right to exer
cise the high office, and, having in the most
solemn fashion set the emblem of royalty
upon her head, proclaimed the swarth hero
ine "Her Royal Majesty, Either Paa Blythe
Rutherford, Sovereign and Queen of all the
Gipsies in the Kingdom of Scotland Chal
lenge who darel"
Addresses of congratulation were read
from loyal subjects in the different shires,
from the citizens of Kelso and other near
cities and villages, and Jroni Yetholm towns
folk; after which a levee was held at the
"roval palace," a thatched cottage with a
hard clay floor, and the night was passed in
all manner of rustic revelries At her death
in July, 18S3, Gipsy royalty in
Scotland came to an end. No one
ever aspired to the enjoyment of her
Gipsy honors; and even old Princess Helen,
with whom I am quite a favorite, tells me
that she was so "weel and fairly licket,"
that she completely lost all her ambition for
royal life. Qneeu Esther died at Kelso.
Her cortege irom Kelso to Kirk Yetholm,
where she was buried besides hundreds of
her race, was a memorable one. Thousands
of people came to Yetholm. "Upon the cof
fin lay the royal red cloak of the Queen, and
an enormous white wreath or roses, sent by
Lady John Scott, of Spottiswood, sur
mounted this. Both were interred with the
body of the Queen. The Rev. Mr. David
son, for 29 years minister of the parish
church here, tells me he never witnessed
a more remarkable scene than at this
burial.
AN HONEST PEOPLE.
The services were held at Kelso; but such
vast crowds missed about the grave at
Yetholm that though Mr. Davidson made
effert to reach it to say a few woids over
the body, the grief of the Gipsies and the
density of the crowd prevented. -He also
tells me other things gained from his min
istry among these strange people which may
interest many who believe Gipsies no better
than wolves Among these, were the state
ments that a no more honorable folk in all
their business dealings ever lived in Scot
land. They never would pay their rent at a
fixea time; but they always paid it. Their
word in all matters could be absolutely de
pended upon. Por over 75 years no Yetholm
Gipsy has ever been accused of crime.
Their home and family relations have al
ways been singularly tree from unfaithful
ness and nnhappluess. And, in short, he
believes that in all things upon which es
timate of character may be based they have
ever excelled the non-Gipsy townspeople
about them.
Kotwitstauding this, Gipsydom has so de
'clined here that it is but a wraith of its
former self. When here a yearsince I fonnd
but 14 families comprising no more than 80
sonls. At that time I predicted that I
should yet live to wander with the tawny
Yetholm crew in my own loved land. Three
of those families are already with the road
side pilgrims in America. Those remain
ing are held to the spot by the old, old folk
who beg to be allowed the last privilege of
laying their bones alongside of those of
their kin in the little church-yard behind
the manse. When that is done, Gipsydom
at Yetholm will be no more. It will all
have been transplanted to that grand and
wondrous land across the sea, the Gipsy's
haven and heaven or opportnnity and de

DECISION RESERVED.
Forcible Arguments From Legal
Lights For and Against
THE SALE OF THE OLD POOR FARM.
A Claim That the Mayor's Assent Has
Already Seen Given.
ONE DAI IK THE C0DETS OP THE C0DNTI
In Common Pleas Court No. 2 yesterday
morning Judges Ewing and White beard
the argument on the application of C. L.
Straub, for an injunction restraining the
city from conveying a deed to Milton I.
Baird for the City Poor Farm.
The first speaker was W. W. Thomson,
representing the plaintiff. He commenced
his argument in support of the application
for an injunction by holding that the quit
claim deed dated July 24, 1890, by which
the title of the old Poor Parm property was
transferred from the Guardians of the Poor
to the city was invalid, by reason that the
term of the last Guardian of the Poor ex
pired in February last, and that there was
no Guardian of the Podr in exist
ence at the time the deed was made
and signed. He presented the affi
davits of Matthew "VVcis, William Eamsey,
and C. W. Helmold, signers of the quit
claim deed, in which they acknowledged
that their terms had expired before the deed
was signed, and that they signed the deed
without a meeting of the board. Mr.
Thomson then reviewed the act of 1887.
He claimed that the duties of the guardians
have not been legally transferred by that act
to the city, for the title ot the act did not
indicate plainly that the transfer of the
rights and duties were to take place. The
Board of Guardians of the Poor bad been
created by the Legislature and could not be
annulled until they had received proper
notice, which had not in their case been
given.
ATTACKED the bill.
D. T. Watson, in behalf of Mr. Baird, fol
lowed. He combatted Mr. Thomson's ar
gument, that the act of 1887 was not suf
ficient to vest the power of theBoard.of
Guardians of the Poor in the city when it
became a city of the second class. He ques
tioned the validity of Mr. Straub's bill on
the ground that it should have joined the
Board of Guardians as a party to the
suit, and that the plaintiff was not praying
for relief from any injury, but was seeking,
as a taxpayer, to set up an outstanding title
against the city's title to the Poor Parm
and to prevent the city from getting over
5400,000 lor its property.
With reference to the failure of tbe Mayor
to sign the resolution approving the sale,
Mr. Watson said: "I think it is sufficient
to observe that the Mayor signed the ordi
nance directing the Chief of the Depart
ment of Public Charities to award the
farm to the highest bidder, subject to the
approval of Councils. It is manifest that
here his connection with the matter ceased.
Had Councils not affirmed, the sale wonld
have been void, but Councils affirming, in
accordance with the ordinance previously
passed and signed by tne Mayor, every re
quirement has been fulfilled. Councils
might have left the approval of the transac
tion to the Controller as easily as have re
tained it to themselves. In either case the
further sanction of the Mayor was needless."
A QUESTION OF LOCATION'.
J. McP. Carpenter, representing the com
plainant, held that the purchase of the Poor
Parhi outside of the county was illegal, as
it was an attempt to place one of the depart
ments of the city of Pittsburg within the
corporation limits of another county; that
the purchase was void on the general prin
ciples that a municipal corporation, in the
absence of legal authoritv, has no extra ter
ritorial jurisdiction. He held that the act
of May 25, 1887, recognized the existence of
the old Board of Gnardians of the Poor, al
though the prior act of 1877 had made them
a department of the citv government, but
that under the act of 1887'the Guardians ot
the Poor were authorized to sell the old
Poor Parm and purchase a new one within
the county of Allegheny, and directing that
the proceeds of the sale should be applied to
a purchase of another farm. He held that
while the act of June 14. 1887, city charter,
conlerred the power to sell and purchase in
City Conncils without restrictions, yet that
power could only be exercised in accordance
with the permissions within the act of May,
1887, and .that there was no appropriation by
Councils to pay for the farm.
Mr. Carpenter continued that it was not
necessary to go into Westmoreland county
and pay" 5700 per acre when they could get
land in Allegheny county better suited for
Poor Parm purposes at half that price.
There was no necessity, either, for closing
up the sale when they did.
A MATTEB OF DISCEETIOIT.
"Is not that a matter of discretion?" asked
Judsre White.
"Yes," replied Mr. Carpenter, "but a dis
cretion over which the Courts have control.
Oners were made hours before the bids weie
opened, bnt they refused to entertain them,
crying that they were too late. I cannot
account for Brother Elliot's frame of mind,"
concluded Mr. Carpenter, "other than that
he had not recovered from his previous
Sabbath day's devotion when he must bave
been engaged in listening to those words of
the old hymn, 'Too late, too late, outside
the gate, "ye cannot enter now.' "
L O. Lazear, Major Moreland and W. 3.
Rodgers, for the city, followed. They held
that municipal corporations could hold
property outside the city limits and that
there are no restrictions as to where the pur
chase should be made, as long as it was in
the State bounds. They quoted authorities
to show that parks bad been purchased by
different cities without their limits and that
property for the needs of the city had iu a
iike manner been bought The speakers
held that a purchase before an appropria
tion had been made was a proper action, be
cause it was an emergency; that the city
needed property for a Poor Parm and that1
Councils had provided for the payment, and
that argument to the contrary was void.
It was an oversight that in the articles for
the purchase the stipulation as to the pay
mant was omitted, but this omission had
been rectified in supplementary articles.
They held that there were purchases, such
as a pesthouse aud cemeteries, which are
left to the discretionary powers of the mu
nicipality, and that the purchase of prop
erty for a Poor Parm should fall under the
same head.
A POINT OP JUBISDICTION.
Judge Ewing asked Mr. Rodgers, one of
the attorneys, if the courts ot Westmore
land county woqld have j urisdiction over
the officers of the Poor Parm, supposing
that it would be located there.
Mr. Rodgers Yes, the courts there would
have jurisdiction in case any offense
against the laws were committed.
Jndgc Ewing How would the grand
jury of this county go to Westmoreland to
visit the Poor Parm in case of necessity?
The courts of Allegheny county cannot send
the grand Jury outside of the county.
Mr. Rodgers I suppose a special enact
ment to that end could be drawn.
The rest of the argument in the afternoon
was taken up in reviewing the'act of 1887,
which granted the power of sale and pur
chase of the Poor Parm, and as to whether
anyllmitations as to where the property
should be purchased were implied. These
speeches closed all the arguments pro and
con. The court reserved is decision.
AH EX-MAYOB'S ANSWER.
Robert Iilddcll Says spencer and Wife) Are
Indebted to Illm-Ex-Mayor
Robert Liddell yesterday
filed his answer to the suits brought against
him by Joseph Spencer and his wife to re
cover money alleged to have been loaned to
him by them. He stated that on September
12, 1889, the partnership between he and
Bpencer, under the firm name of Spencer &
THE PITTSBTJKG- DISPATCH, SATUEDAY, SEPTEMBER
Liddell, was dissolved by Spencer retiring.
A settlement of all indebtedness was made
and Spencer, for bis interest and what was
due him, received a bond and mortgage for
820 700. navable in five rears. In addition
for security for outstanding liabilities a.
mortgage tor $30,uuu was given to apencer.
The liabilities were all paid, and on June
20, 1890, the mortgage was canceled by
Spencer.
Instead of the debt claimed, it is asserted,
upon a balancing of accounts, it would be
found that the Spencers owed him at least
$15,000. Mrs. Spencer, it was said, owed
him $20,000 for money advanced to pay her
indebtedness on account of stock in the
Nation Trust Company aud other corpora
tions. WHAT HATUSAI GAS COSTS.
Cincinnati Lawyer Come He-e to Get Ex
port Testimony In tbo Matter.
There was much gaseousness in the office
of J. W. Kinnear, on Grant street, yester
day. Mr. Kinnear is commissioner to take
testimony in the suit of the Cincinnati Gas
Light and Coal Company vs the City of
Cincinnati. John W. Warrington,"" Esq.,
for the company, and Cincinnati's City
Solicitor, Theodore Horstman, and Assistant
City Solicitor John Galvin for the
city were present. It appears that the con
tract price between plaintiff and defendant
was to be based on the average price "paid
for gas in this city, New York, Baltimore,
Louisville and New Orleans, and the evi
dence taken yesterday was to ascertain
prices here. A large amonnt of testimony
was taken, from which it appeared that gas
costs from SI to ?1 50 per 1,000 cubic feet in
this city, including the use of natural gas
under several patent appliances to adapt
to illuminating purposes. The representa
tives of five companies here were examined,
but the amonnt of natural gas used at a
cost of 10c per 1,000 and sold at $1 001 50
per 1,000 feet was not ascertained.
Cincinnati claims that in course of years
it has paid some hundreds ot thousands of
dollars more than the evidence will show
the company should have received.

HE WANTS THE STOCK
Salt Brought Against n Mexican Tin Mining
Coinpnny.
J. W. Trimbath, of Bedford connty, yes
terday entered suit against the Pittsburg
and Mexican Tin Mining Company. The
mining company is a corporation of West
Virginia, with an office in Pittsburg, and
owns mines in the State of Durango, Mex.
The suit is to recover $15,000 of the stock of
the company, which the company has re
fused to transfer to him.
Trimbath was formerly the resident super
intendent and manager of the miues, and
took charge on April 1, 1889. The mines
then were of little value, but under his
active management, he states, new lodes of
ore of great valne were discovered and
opened. Under a contract with the com
pany he was to have $10,000 worth of stock
transferred to him. By subsequent action
of the directors it was increased to $15,000.
He now sues to obtain the value of the
stock.

PRESBYTERIAN GAIN.
Tbe Phenomenal Growth of the De

STRONGHOLD OF THEU. P CHURCH.
Topics to be Discussed To-lTorrow in Pnl
pits in the Two Cities.
GLEANINGS FROM CII0RCH FIELDS
The growth of Presbyterian Churches in
this city the past few years has been
phenomenal. There is no qnestion that'
Pittsburg is the most thoroughly Presby
terian of all American cities. Of the 150
or more churches in Pittsburg and Alle
gheey, one-half belong to tbe various
branches of this order. Pittsburg and Alle
gheny, especially the latter, are tbe strong
hold of the United Presbyterians. When
the U. P.'s unite with the regular Presby
terian body, a union which is sure to come
to pass in tbe next score of years at the very
furthest, there will be no qnestion as to tbe
pre-eminence of Fresbyterianism in this
part of the field.
A century and more ago Scotch-Irish
Presbyterians planted themselves in the
region ot which Pittsburg is the center, and
there are no signs that they have lost their
grip. The religiously inclined in this
city and surrounding country are by a large
majority Presbyterian. The East Liberty
Prpsbyterian Church, with a membership of
800, is the parent of not less than 13
chnrches, some of which are nearly as
strong as the mother church. Rev. Dr.
Mcllvaine, old time pastorjat East Liberty,
still lives, and, on a late visit to our city,
said that the territory he once covered as
pastor, is now occupied by 13 Presbyterian
churches.

return, Mr. Rodgers hopes, with tbe assistance
of his congregation, to get a parish ball and
library built, nbich will be the center of much
work, instruction and amusement to tbe good

concert hall, capable of seating 300 to 400 peo

Washington and Jefferson College
will begin its is'Jth year on Wednesday. Septem

new students is very favorable. The college is
In better condition than ever before to do its
work. But enlargement in several directions
is needed. It is earnestly hoped that the
modest appeal put forth by the President, Dr.
Moffat, will find liberal response. Tbo frequent
notices of liberal gifts to institutions of learn
ing, East and West, ought to stimulate giving
in tbat direction In Westorn Pennsylvania.
There are some, surely, who are ready to make
memorial gifts to Washington and Jefferson
College. Tbe Commencement Hall, so earnestly
needed, might stand as a monument of some
departed one. It is said that one of the most
beautiful buildings at Harvard was erected in
honor of the soldier alumni who fell in battle
for their country's life. Thirty-six Jefferson
stu dents and 23 Washington students gave their
lives for their country. What more appropriate
than to put soipo building on tbo campus as a
memorial of these noble menf Who will
furnish the funds? J'retbyterian Banner.

HOW TO KEEP MILK PURE.
ONE WAY TO PREVENT A SCARCITY IN
THE LACTEAL FLUID.
An Old Dalnman Tell How Ho Alwavs Ha
a Good Supply Too Much Atteniion Can
not bo Given to tbe Canst nnd Spring
home. "The cause of pure milk being so scarce
is on account of people not knowing how to
take care of it," said C. W. Townsend, a
veteran dairyman, at the Monongahela
House yesterday. Mr. Townsend is one of
the proprietors of the Bower Hill dairy, on
the Allegheny and Washington county
lines, and supplies the Monongahela House
and the best restaurants with tbe lacteal
fluid. He read tbe account of the scarcity
of the article in The DisPAicn yesterday, and
gives the knowledge ho has gained by years of
experience to otber dairymen who have bad
trouble keening their milk sweet. He said:
"We bave about 50 Jersey cows, and if there
is any way of omainlng good milt, we always
bave ir. Everv morning before 6 o'clock tbe
cows are bronght In nnt of a good, ricb and
deep cloverpasturc and driven into tbebarn.The
stalls have previously been cleaned, and every
bit of dirt and refuse is taken out of them.
It Is also a good thing to havo the walls of tbe
stable whitewashed, as a dirty stable has Its
effert on tbo milk. As tbe cows are being
milked they aro allowed tn eat from a fresh
feed out in tbo manger. The milk Is put into
tall, slim, thin tin pails tbat havo been pre
viously stood in the sun after being washed.
Tbo cleansing process Is done by putting the
cans in a bath of hot water and bi-carbonatc of
soda.
"When the cans are filled they hold abont
three gallons and are carried to tbe cold water
sprlnghouse, where they are placed in a stone
trough about a foot deep. Tbe temperature of
the water is 0. and it is allowed to run around
tbe cans.Tne water is conducted from tbo spring
to tbe house by iron pipes, and it is allowed to
rise up to tbe top of the caus. After allowing
tbe milk to stand in tbe trongb 21 hours, it is
taken ont and the cream skimmed off.
It Is then shipped to tbo city and sold. The
shipment of to-d.iy is the product of yesterday
and we always keep 24 hours behind. Oar
stock is registered and it takes one gallon less
milk to make a gallon Ot cream than it does
from other cows. We knowhowto handle them
and get the best result?. Cows should be milked
about 6 o'clock In tbo morning and 6 in tbe
afternoon. If proper attention is paid to their
pasture and the stable accommodations there
wonld be less milk sour on tbe dairymen. One
thing to avoid is the germs likely to form in tbe
milk. If It is properly kept in the springhouse
the germs will not have a chance to form. We
bave a man especially engaged to carrv the
cans to the spring and sec that thev are placed
properly in tbe trough. Part ot tbe latter is
hollowed oat of solid stone."

"When I first mado np my mind toconsnlt
Dr. Byers."saysMr. Learzaf. who is a tinner
br occupation and lives at iSo Forbes avenne,
"I said to myself, if I am so f ortnnato as to get
relief I will never permit my name to appear
in the papers; bat when a few weeks ago Dr.
Hyers told mo I needn't continno tbe treat
ments any longer, as my nose and throat were
entirely well, and suggested tbat I allow him
to publish my case as encouragement to others,
I remembered that it was thronpli the testi
monials of others that induced me to take
treatment, and I felt so grateful for the bene
fit derived tbat 1 said: 'Go ahead, if it will
point tbe way to some other fcllow-sunTexer
afflicted as I was.'
3Ir. Cio. J. Learzaf, ISSForbes Ave.
"My principal trouble was my stomach. I was
continually rifting, had pains and cramps,
tongue always coated, and a fool taste In my
moutn, especially in mornins. 1 aiso naa pains
over my eyes, ringinc In the ears, nostrils
clogged np tlrst on one side then tho other, and
a hawking and f pitting up of a tough mucus. 1
had tried almost everything' I could think of
myself and was suggested by friends, till I was
dUconraged. When Dr. Byers examined my
nose and throat he said tbat all the trouble was
caused by catarrh, and that I might swallow
enough medicine to float a ship and would
never set better without the aid of local treat
ments. Ipnt myself under his treatment and
soon learned by experience that his theory wa3
correct, as I noticed a decided change from the
first, and continued to improve, till now 1 am
entirely well and glad to make this statement
in favor of his treatment."

FALLS.
A lady patient from Beaver Falls writes: "I
have observed instrnctions in regard to treat
ment faithfully as possible and must say 1 have
reveiveii benefit beyond my most sanguine ex
pectations. The noises that troubled me so
long have almost entirely ceased through the
day only while eating: or drinking, bnt they are
still bad at night, bnt have so diminished that
they are not so worrying. I havo hopes tbat
your treatment, if persistently followed, will
have the desired effect,"
TEBATMEST 85 A MOJJTIT, MEDICINE lif
CLDDED. Almost every day I hear of persons who
wonld lite to tako treatment of me. but they
fear my terms are too low to permit of good
work. To such patient I wish to say this: In
terview any person ho was ever treated a
month or more bv mo and by other physicians
tbn same length nf time, and I will cheerfully
abide by tho result. My early training as a
druggist taught me bow to compound medi
ciues at tbe leat possible cost, and as 1 buy at
wholesale. I get the lone3t obtainable price.
