MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville, I'a., Jan. 25. 1900. TRAFALGAR. l'lie SirlltiirNa of Action of Ttal* Great Natal Battle. Tlie world will see other sea tights, but never one like this, so close, so ► win ami wlili so much iu it of tho personal element. Aud what may bo called the pace of the battle, the swift ness with which incident follows inci dent. is almost without a parallel in the history of war. The tirst gun was tired at 12:13; at 12:22, or only seven minutes after the French RUUS opened un him, Collingwood, with the Hritlsh thips nearest to him, was through the enemy's line. Only one brief minute later, or «t 12:23 by the log of the Euryalus, Nel son is in the tight, and is pouring his lirst dreadful broadside into the stern of Villeneuve's flagship. Two minutes later the French and Spanish topmasts begin to fall. At 1:32, or sixty seven minutes after the tirst gun was tired, Blackwood reports "the center and rear of enemy's Hue to be hard pressed In action." Tho fate of the battle is prac tically settled. Already some of tho enemy's ships have struck. The swifl moments run on, and the pulses of the great tight keep time with them. The advantage is not ail on one side. At 2:36, for example, or less than two hours from the moment when, a shape of majestic pride, the Koyal Sovereign moved into the zone of the enemy s tire, she lies a mast less and helpless hulk. She has done her work, but she has paid a terrible price for it. There Is at this moment a flutter of flags on the masthead of the Victory, for Nel son has a great captain's watchful vision, and a frigate—it is the Euryalus —comes down with every inch of can vas set. groping her way through the smoke, to take the battered hull of tho Koyal Sovereign in tow. so that her broadsides —the mighty ship can still tight, though she cannot sail -bear upon the enemy's ships within her reach. This is not a battle spread through days. It is compressed almost into minutes. The first shot was fired at 12:15; before 3 o'clock flag after flag is going down; a great fleet is crumbling Into ruin. Bv 5:30 o'clock all is over.— Cornbill Magazine FINGERS AND FORKS. Never use a fork when taking a piece of bread. Avoid using a spoon for anything that is not liquid. Pastry should be eaten with a fork; also ice cream where the proper forks are served. It is permissible to eat celery, corn, asparagus, water cress and undressed salad with the fingers. Olives should be lifted from the dish with the olive fork or spoon, but should be eaten from the fingers. Lemou is often served with fish and pancakes. The lemon should be taken in the fingers and squeezed upon the viands. If cut sugar is served and there are no sugar tongs in the bowl, lift the pieces out as delicately as possible with the tips of the fingers.—New York Press. Composite Pronoun Wanted. The want of u composite pronouu to express both "he"and "she,'" and, what is sometimes more important, to ex press neither he nor she, must have embarrassed every one at some time or another. There tire ungrammatical ways of shelving the difficulty, such as, for instance, by translating the con venient French "on'' as "they," when we really mean one person who may be either masculine or feminine. The lack of a portmanteau word to express both sexes without specifying either did not, however, trouble the new maid who approacin-d her mistress with the ingenious remark, "Please'm, a friend of mine has called—and may I ask it to tea ?"—London Chronicle. A Point In Punctuation. For a century past, probably longer, the rule of the best printers and pub lishers has been,"Three words in the same construction are separated by commas." Two examples will illus trate the rule: "John, James and Thomas have come." As so punctuated the first name is vocative, the second and third nomina tive. Two persons have come. "John, James, and Thomas have come." And now the three names are all nominatives. Three persons have come. The two meanings can be indicated otherwise only by a footnote. New York Times. A Stubborn Opening. The head of the household was going through her husband's pockets the next morning. "What kept you out so late last night?" she suddenly demanded.

[nUST NAME SPECIFIC TERH h'or Which Respective Candidates for Supervisors Are Nomi nated. Considerable trouble is being caused in many parts of the State nuder the new township road law by the fact that many of the township caucuses fail to designate the term for which the new supervisors are nominated. Under the law there are three to be elected, one for one year, one for two years, and one for three years. The nomination is not legal unless the term of the office for which the nomination is named is noted with the name of the candidate. This is governed by the present laws, and occurs likewise when school directors, couucilinen and other such officers are to lie elected for full or unexpired terms. A correspon dent wants to know how ttie law is to be clearly carried out, suggesting that three men nominated for short terms might have the highest number of votes, and thus have none elected for the lull term of three years. This is easily explained in the light of the above statements. When a man is nominated for supervisor, he must be nominated, if at all. for one of the three terms —one, two, or three years, and it must be definitely stated. Once nominated for a one-year-term,he can not be elected to the office for any oth er term at that election. For instance, a man nominated for a one-year term might secure more votes than any of i the three-year or two-year nominees, 1 yet fail of election in case be did not get more votes than the other one-year nominees. In cases where nominations have been made and the term of the nomi nees for supervisor have not been giv en.the jiajiers are returned to the offic ers that the terms niav be set out. r Woman's Auxiliary.
