At the battle of Colenso tbe Boer loss
was thirty, the British loss 1100. The
British retreated, losing ten guns. If it
takes two sides to constitute war this
' must be something else.
Guy. Lawton's countrymen have
promptly given a token of sympathy for
his family that coes deeper than words
and will stand as the first ami most im
portant tribute to his brilliant services.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, warns
he Republican party that it will have to
face its record on the gold standard. Tbe
Republicans intend to do that very thing
and to do it on purpose.
By following the lead of Goebel the
Democratic) party of Kentucky bas met
with deleat and general condemmillon.
Ooebel is not in the least abashed, how
ever. He started in to use the party for
cold-blooded, sellish ends and will play
the game through.
England's national debt will probably
be increased $100,0110,000 by the war with
tbe Boers. The iebt at present is nearly
$3,000,000,000. In the year 1S16 it was
f 1,500,0(10,000. Since 1SS3 the reduction
has been $fitO,000,000. If tho British win
the gold mines will furnish an indem
nity. Unclk Sam's new refrigerator at Ma
nila will be a building 250 feet square
and 45 feet high. In addition to preserv
ing rations it will produce daily fifty tons
of ice and 6000 gallons of distilled water.
No soldiers on earth are treated as well
aa those of the United States, and they
deserve all they get.
(iood Congressional Timber.
The matter of the election of a new
Congress will again engross the attention
of the people this year, and soon the can
didates will be announced for tbe nomi
nating conventions tbat will be taking
place early in the spring. In this con
nection it is interesting to note a new
name that now and then is mentioned
for such honors. As, for instance, that
of Hon. W. O. Smith of Jefferson county,
who will be a leading factor in the cau-
vass about to begin for the nomination of
a Republican candidate in tbe 21 district,
composed of Jofferson, Indiana, Arm
strong and Westmoreland counties. It
every voter were thoroughly acquainted
with Mr. Smith's peculiar fitness for this
, place, and then were as thoroughly true
to his owu interests and tl.e greatest
good to hy own district, tbe mere an
nouncement tbat he would submit bis
name to tbe Republicans for their con
sideration, would be sufficient to secure
him the nomination without a single lur
ther effort. But of course, this is not the
case, and there is need therefore that tbe
Candida' e must acquaint bis people with
his claims in order to receive their sup
port, and this is not always an easy mat
ter nor a very pleasant thing for him to
do in his own behalf. Faw men iu tbe
State from the country counties have had
a greater or more varied experience, or
bettei schooling in matters of legislation
than W. O. Smith, and surely no man
has gained more wisdom from that ex
perience than he, all of which would be
turned to good account for the benefit of
his constitueiits were he sent to Congress.
The happy faculty of making friends in
the legislature was one f his strong
points, and we doubt whether any other
member had so m ny as he during any
of the four sessions be passed at Harris
burg. Through two of these sessions tbe
writer sat with Mr. Smith in the House,
and can testify to his great worth to his
people in the way of getting favorable
legislation through. His efforts in be
half of tho miners, of which the 21st dis
trict has thousands, were indefatigable
' as was also his work for legislation fa
voring the agriculturist. Mr, Smith was
not eternally boring the House with
long-winded spoecbes. Wbat he had to
say in defence of his legislation was di
rect aod to the point, and bis remarks
were always attentively listened to aud
carried any measure through that be ad
vocated. We wonldn't give the snap of
our finger for all the howlers and ran
ters in Christendom, who are forever
on their feet playing to the galleries,
Everybody tiies of theca and their in
fluence is always a negative one. The
quiet, earnest worker, who keeps in
touch with the work of the committees,
who makes friends by bis honesty and
fairness, is the one who comes out of
legislative session with the good things
for bis people. The very name of such
a member is a guarantee to his fellow
members tbat tbe measures he advocates
are just and fair, and always goes a long
way toward their enactment into law
The plain people of Mr. Smith's district
should demand his nomination. To them
his services will be invaluable. He has
a wide experience ; be makes friends
who in turn make him influential; his
ambition to become a great statesman
would not get the better of him aud be
cloud bis usefulness to bis immediate
constituency. His splendid work in be
half of the people he represented so long
at Harrisburg is a guarantee tbat his
Congressional career would be an hon
est, faithful and consistent one. By all
means send W. O. Smith to Congress,
He is needed there and more just like
biin. Less talkers and more and better
workers.
Importance of the Vice Presidency.
It will be noticed tbat moremeu are be
ing mentioned for tbe Republican notni
nation for Vice President these days than
were spoken of in connection with t is
office at any time in the recent past
Among them aro Secretary Root, Corne
lius Bliss, Gen. Woodford and ex-i.or,
Bradley. Every section of the country
has a favorite son mentioned as a possible
nominee for the second office. Of course
tbe number of persons who will bespok
eu of in this connection will be likely to
keen i'n growing until the time for tbe
meeting of the convention, unless in the
meantime some one of them gets a de
cided lead and thus impels some ef tbe
other aspirant to get out of the contest.
Tbe vice presidential office has sudden
ly become more attractive to statesmen
of character and ambition than it was in
many yean. At one time it was consid
ered something of ao insult to offer the
nomination for this post to a statesnc-n
of national reputation who had been look
ing for the higher office. Many men, too
who never openly aspired to the first
place on the ticket of a gre.'.t party looked
at the vice presidential post as being too
insignificant for their acceptance. When
Bilas Wright, of New York, was nomi
nated with substantial unanimity for
Vice President by the convention which
put up Polk for President, be sent back
such a prompt and empbatio declination
that tbe telegraph, used at tbat conven
tion for the first time for any political
gathering, was said by the politicians of
the time to have sizzled with tbe New
Yorker's indignation.
Many statesmen of national stature,
however, are apparently ready to accept
the vice presidential candidacy on the
Republican ticket in 1900. Of course, tbe
nomination in this instance is equivalent
to election. Tbe experience of tbe late
Vice President Hobart show a tbat the
office carries with it. to the right sort of a
man, a good deal of influence in political
affairs. Mr. Hobart was consulted freeely
by the leaders of his party, he was a con
fidant of tbe President, and he was thus
able to impress bis personality on publlo
affairs. In this way the post became the
tbe second office under the government
in more than a theoretical sense. If a
man of ability, popularity and tact is
nominated for Vice President at tbe
Philadelphia convention next June be
will be reasonably certain to gain enough
prestige by his service to give his post a
permanent boom in tbe estimation of
statesmen of character and ambition.
Tom Haverty Again in Limbo.
It seema impossible for Thomas Hag-
rty, one of tbe chiefs in the attempt to
lob the Wagner family in Tlonesta town
ship about 12 years ago, to keep outside
the pen very long at a time. Very short
ly after the completion of his term for
tbat crime he was sent up from another
county for three years, and not more
three weeks ago his time again expired
and now he stands a good chance of going
back soon. Here is the story as told by
one of the Pittsburg papers:
When Thomas Haggerty was arrested
Thursday by Detective Robert Dennis ton
and RiebariKelly as a suspicious per-
Bon, me omcers naa no iaea mat tney
were making such a catch. Yesterday
when his trunk was found and searched
one of the most complete kit of counter
feiting appliances was unearthed which
has ever fallen into the hands of the local
police. From one who was at first sus
pected to be little more than an ordinary
sneaktbief, Haggerty bas quickly jumped
into prominence a a daring safe cracker,
a would-be murderer and a counterfeiter.
The local officers have washed their
hands of him. Yesterday he was turned
over to the United States secret service
men, along with tbe goods with which he
apparently intended to flood the country
with spurious coin.
"Haggerty is probably 55 years of ago,
Regaidless of the time he bas spent in
prison, he is still w II preserved and eager
again to take up the work which his im
prisonment three years ago interrupted.
He was sent up from Washington county
In 1896 fo: an attempt to rob an express
office there. Until December 13 be was
one of Warden. Wright's mostdocile pris
oners.
When arrested Haggerty had in his
possession a number of bars of copper of
tho finest quality. He was trying to sell
tbe metal for seven cents a pouud. That
is wbat excited tbe suspicion of tbe de
tectives. They knew the copper was of
greater value. He refused to say where
he had secured it and to the detectives be
gave tbe name of William Thomas. When
searched letters and papers revealed bis
Identity. He was implicated in an at
tempt to rob and possibly murder a farm'
er named Wagner, in Forest county, and
one or the clippings told of bis capture in
Washington. When conironttd with
this evidence be confessed.
"Detectives Denniston, Kelly and Mc
Tigbe yesterday started out to find Hag
gerty's trunk. Tbe depots were first vis,
ited. There they secured their first clew,
It was learned the trunk bad arrived at
Union station about Deo. 20. It lay there
for a day or so and was then sent to
certain hotel, according to Instructions.
Tbe hotel people relused to receive it and
it was taken back to tbe depot and a few
daya later was sent to Ann streets. There
tbe detectives found it yesterday after'
noon.
"As tbe different articles were turned
out upon the floor tbe officers began to
realize tbe Importance of their capture,
There were two ladles, about twenty-five
pounds of lead, antimony, moulds, alum
inum, wax and soap. When Haggerty
was captured he bad a dozen of the cop
per bars with him. They are about ten
inches long and probably three-quarters
of an inch thick, two inches wide. When
the trunk was searched, a number of
these bars were found. Out of two of
them the moulds were constructed. They
were joined together by a hinge. The
face of the coin was ingeniously stamped
into one piece of the metal and tbe oppo
site side was impressed into tbe other
piece. Into tLese it was Haggerty' in
tention to pour tbe metal and make the
money which was to bring him wealth
"The presence of the copper bars in tbe
trunk set the officers to thinning. Hag'
gerty had not seen his trunk since his ar
rest in Washington. It was shipped to
Pittsburg from Parkersburg, W. Va
After bis release Haggerty went to Mid
way and came to tbe city from there.
Th j supposition is that be had the copper
at tbe time of bis capture, tbat at tbat
time he was planning bis counterfeiting
scheme and tbat tbe appliances have been
In bis trunk In Parkersburg tor tbe paet
three years awaiting his liberation. Tbe
detectives believe they have been in tbe
keeping of friend who shipped them to
bim on his liberation.
"As soon as tbe detectives had satisfied
themselves of Haggerty 's counterfeiting
proclivities, they notified tbe secret aer
vice officers. Agents Flynn and Snyder
called at Central station yesterday after
noon and took the man to the county jail
He will be given a hearing before the
United States commissioner within a few
days."

"Mistpoeffers" (literally, "hiccoughs or
eructations of the fog") is the name
given by dwellers on the shores of the
North sea, Europe, to a mysteriously
auditory phenomenon not infrequently
noticed in their vicinity, says Dr. Ulan
geaud. Various theories have been advanced
as to the origin of these sounds. Some
savants have attributed them to earth
quakes, but this fails to explain why
thoy are perceived only in the daytime.
On the other hand, the fact that their
time of maximum occurrence is from
noon to 3 p. ni., decreasing afterward
until sunrise, appears to support the
opinion that they are due entirely to the
action of solar heat upon the water
vapor of the atmosphere.
It is remarkable that when beard on
land they always appear to come from
far out at sea, and similarly on board
ship they never seem close at hand, and
they strike the ear from all sides at
once, is there, men, asks tne autnor,
a mirage for the ear as well as for the
eycT Hut, if so, how does it originate?
Ou the Campiuc of Antwerp tho noises
were heard very distinctly so much so,
indeed, as to produce a sort of haunting
effect for several days in succession, by
a party of French engineers, who at
first thought that brisk artillery practice
must be going on somewhere In the
neighborhood.
Near Osteud the coost population is
quite accustomed to the niistpocffcrs.
They often say, "There goes the sea
guns; we shall have warm weather
now," or, "There will soon bo a change."
Sailors at se exclaim, "The fog is
breaking," under the same circum
stances. These facts all point to a re
lation with atmospheric phenomena.
Bright sunshine and some degree of
foggiuess seem to be constant factors iu
causing the detouations, while the sea is
not a necessary element. They are most
probably due to a disturbance of electric
equilibrium between layers of nlr when
unequally expanded by heat, under the
influence of the special conditions al
ready noted. Popular Science.

1'nexpected Part Flayed by a Barrel
In a Drama.
Many of the old time actors will re
member F. G. White, who, with his wife,
Emma Iceland, used to star in the prov
inces when they were not able to get
what they wanted in tio cities. Well,
the old gentleman was a versatile geuius,
and there was nothing about the house
except soubrette parts that he could take.
Among other tilings he knew how to
put up a curtain, and that was more
than a good many stage managers in the
country towns knew.
We will call the place Bridgeport, for
that was not the name of the town. The
Emma I.elnnil company was there for a
week, and it looked like a prosperous
run. But the first night, aud right be
tween the first and second acts of "Hid
deu Hand," something went wrong with
the cm-tain, which stuck fast three feet
from the lloor. Moreover, it would not
come down again, and all the company
was in trouble, while the people out in
front were getting more than the worth
of their money without seeing the show.
Mr. White was in his nether garments,
having changed from a well dressed New
York villain to the rough aud ready
countryman' from old Virgiuia, who has
come to the great city ou a quest for hia
granddaughter aud adventures. But he
climbed up on a stool out there behind
the curtain and did all thnt any honest
and pluin speaking mau coflld have done
in the way of making the machinery
work.
And the whole curtain came tumbling
down, roller and all, leaving the most
versatile man stranded high and dry on
the top of the stool. The scene was the
Bowery, and a part of the stage Betting
was an empty barrel. The old gentle
man dropped gracefully Into that barrel
und rolled as gracefully off the stage.
And then the patient and excellent au
dience waited, laughing occasionally, but
not saucily, till the carpenters and sail
ors iu the house had repaired the damage
to the scene. Chicago Post.

How They Mercilesnly Attack Trav
rlrra la the Himalayas.
There ore somo experiences related in
his lxok by Major Wadilell which no
tourist in tho Himalayas would like to re
peat. Wo would nil fight shy of tho leeches
In thnt dump forest of the Tecsta valley.
When n leech is famishing, he is only as
"thick as a knitting needle." In that
condition he is the hungry enemy of every
two or four footed creature that crosses
his path. And leeches were everywhere.
They "stood alert on every twig of tho
brushwood tluit overhung our track and
on every dead leaf on tho path, and as wo
approached they lashed themselves vigor
ously to and fro, In tho wild endeavor to
seize hold of us. Tho Instant they touch
their victim they fix themselves firmly and
then mount nimbly up by a scries of rapid
somersaults till they reach a vulnerable.
point, and then they lose not an instant In
commencing their surgical operations.
"Our poor servants and coolies who
walked barefooted were, of course, bmlly
bitten. From their ankles and legs little
streams of blood trickled all day, und at
every few steps they had to stop and pick
off these horrid little pests, and it was of
ten difficult to dislodge them." Major
Woddull and somo of his friends took the
precaution of dusting their stockings with
tobacco snuff and binding their legs from
ankle to knee with "putties." But the
leeches got in nil tho saino, "through the
eyelets of our bouts." Numbers of them,
having drunk nil they could hold, "crept
down into our boots and there got squash
ed, and all this had happened aiito un
consciously to us.
"It was pitiful also to see the poor cat
tle, ponies and gnats in these leech infest
ed forests. Their legs were always bleed
ing more or less, and these pests lodgo in
their nostrils and hang from their eyelids
and various parts of their body. To-dis
lodge them from tho recesses of the noso,
the herdsmen, it is said, keep tho poor
beasts from water for a day or so, and
then, when the animal drinks, tho leeches
show themselves and may bo removed.
