A NEW wire and nail plant, to be erected in the Monongahela valley,near Pittsburg, at a cost of $5,000,000, is a promise of formidable competition with the wire and nail combination. The new mills will occupy a site having all rail and river adyantages, their equip ment will be of the best and they will go into business prepared to give the trust a first-class battle for supremacy. THE WAR IN AFRICA. On Thnrsday last the English Secreta ry of Foreign Affairs sent word to his Commissioner in Sonth Africa to "in form the government of the Sonth African republic in reply that the con ditions demanded by the government of the Sonth African republic are such as her majesty's government deem it im possible to discuss." On same date President Steyn of the Orange Free State issued a proclama tion to the Free State burghers, in which he says: "Our sister republic is about to be at tacked by an unscrupulous enemy, who has long looked for a pretext to annihi late the Afrikanders. Onr jieople are bonnd to the Transvaal by ties as well as M formal treaty." President Steyn declares solemnly in the presence of the Almghty that he is compelled to resist the powerful enemy owing to the injustice done his kith and kin. Solemn obligations, he declares, have not protected the Transvaal against the annexation conspiracy, -and when its independence ceases the Free State's existence as an independent State is meaningless. "The experience of the past shows that no reliance can lie placed upon the solemn promises and obligations of Great Britain when an administration is at the helm that is prepared to tread treaties under foot." On Friday and Saturday the Boers de railed and captured armored trains near Vrybnrg and Mafeking, just outside their western frontier, in British terri torv, and on Saturday an engagement was reported near Mafeking. At London it was decided to increase the British force in South Africa to 70.- o, and eighty steamers were charter ed. On Monday the Boers had surrounded Kimberly, also on their western )>order. in British territory, and had cut all rail road and telegraph communications. On Tuesday heavy firing was report ed to the north of Mafeking. The Great Yacht Raee. After a wait of two weeks and seven fruitless trials, the two yachts had a good breeze off Sandy Hook. Monday, and sailed over the course within the time limit, the Columbia coming in a mile and a half ahead of the Shamrock, and beating her ten minutes of time. The course was fifteen miles dead into the wind, and return before it. There was a soul stirring scene as the Columbia approached the finish. The excursion boats had gathered there in a semi circle to give her welcome and as she went across the finish bedlam broke loose. The steam whistles sh ieked, the sirens wailed, the Corsair, the flag ship of the New York Yacht clnb. and several other yachts flung their powder into smoke and the multitudes on the decks of the side wheelers cheered. During Tuesday s race a wire back stay on the Shamrock parted, and her top mast broke, making her helpless. She was towed back to her anchorage. THE taking of the Cuban census be gan. Mondar, and we will soon know how ftiany people are on the island, and something about them. Up to this time the available information with re gard to the Cuban population and to the manner in which it is between the races has been of a very incomplete and untrustworthy charac ter. The Spanish authorities did take a census once in awhile, but they were not very particular how they did it and their successive enumerations were in the nature of movable feasts; they did not take place at any designated and de termined period, but at such times as suited the convenience of those who were charged with the duty of directing and supervising them. Clash ol' Big Interests. The Carnegie Company and Rocke feller are in each others wool over the iron-ore supply. A dispatch from Cleve land last week stated that "A battle of giants in the iron and steel industry has been under way for three or four days past The cause is a fear of not having enough ships to move the ore product of the Lake Superior region in 1900, which may crowd the 20, (XX), 000-ton mark. Contracts were made with 10 steamers to carry ore next season at 81.25 a ton, against (50 cents this season. This means that iron ore will sell at full $2 a ton advance over the prices of the present year. "The contracts with Mitchell & Co. of Cleveland and with Detroit parties were made in the interest to John D. Rockefeller, following close upon the purchase of the whaleback fleet of 30 vessels by the same interest. The Rockefeller interest will be operating 67 steel vessels next season, recent pur chases and charters having added 2,500- (XX) to their capacity. This high rate results from a struggle between the Rockefeller and Carnegie interests for supremacy in their dealings with each other. "The Carn«gie Company, by a shrewd move last spring, managed to fix the contract or rate at 60 cents, - and Rock feller ships, under contract with the Carnegie Company for a term of years, were forced to accept about that figure for this season's work. The Carnegie Company again stepped in a few days ago and placed an order with the Amer ican Ship building Company for five big steamers. They had also offered SBSO - each for the four largest of the Mitchell ships But, in the meantime, the Rockefeller interests had come into fnll posession of the 80 whalebacks, and and then not only prevented the Carneg ie Company from buying the Mitchell fleet, but securred a pretty fair corner on the lake freight market through the charter of these vessels. "The American Ship Building Com pany now has on its books for delivery, running into July and August of next year, orders for 21 vessels, the value of which at present prices is about #5.2H0- 000. All but two of these vessels are freighters, and they will csrry 8,000,000 gross tons in a season. Centennial*. The New Castle News of the 4 inst., speaks of the coming centennial celebra tion of our county as follows: "Butler has been seized with the spir it of enthusiasm which has prevailed in other places in Western Pennsylvania (New Castle excepted), and is about to have a centennial anniversary celebra tion on a big scale." * * "New Castle should feel considerably humili ated over the action of her neighbor. The centennial of the founding of New Castle has been permitted to pass with out even the blowing of a furnace whis tle or the ringing of a lire bell. This woeful lack of public spirit on the part of the industrial and commercial im portance of New Castle is something of ' which we should feel heartily ashamed. Buttercup. Miss Agnes Brandon has returned from a visit with frieuds in Indiana. Mrs. Will Brandon, of New Castle, is visiting relatives here. Mrs. Jane Brunermer, who has been qnite sick, is recovering.

The young men set about to prepare a table, while the ladies loaded it with the good things which the women of that community know how to make. While this was going on the older men gathered in groups and talked of old times, cracked jokes, span yarns and ate apples. The ring of merrv laughter could be heard from white heads as well as from the boys and girls. At n(K)ii we were called to dinner and after ti blessing was linked by He v. Bra den. we all participated in such u way that it didn't take a clone observer to nee that no one had left his appetite at home. After dinner a few hours were spent in social conversation, and after wishing Mr. and Mrs. Badger many pleasant and prosperous years we all re turned home feeling that we had spent a pleasant day. We have only one life to live here and why not have more of those pleasant meetings for "joy shared is double joy."
