Letters of administration on the estate of Joseph C. Lnttimore wore this week granted to Charles Lottl moro. Sorvico may be expocted at the Sawkill School-house, the weather permitting, on Sunday, Aug. 21st, at 2 :30 p. in. A colored enmpmoeting has been held in the Glen during the week, which has been visited by a number from this town. Rain has interfered with the races at P. J. driving Park this woek but tho sport has teen excellent, and the attendance quite large. Milford has lieon well represented by lovers of good horse flesh. Some writers have studied no closely tho habits of a cortain mol luscous animal, callod the cuttle fish, that when pursued they at tempt to eseapo in the same way, by simply squirting ink. Tho picnic nnd dance given by tho Milford firemen last Friday at Uaymondskill was largely attended and was a very enjoyable occasion. About $20 was added to the fund being raisod for a boll. The M. M. &. N. Y. R.R. is build ing the culvert across the street nnd grading the road on the N. Y. sidi, work is also progressing in Mutamoras-- The fe:;idge is complet ed, nnd we mav now hope the long promised road will soon be in oper. ation to Milford. A number of trees in the borough were blown down with tho wind on Wednesday, nnd many limbs torn off. Lightning struck a telephone polo at tho Court House, and also the cupola on L. W. Armstrongs- house on High street, doing very little damage to it however. That I Sickles may not be' com pelled to "borrow, bog or steal" a Press and so incidentally let it bo known that there are rare moments when his mental constitution craves something more substantial than its accustomed diet of Democratic pap, we take pleasure this week in fur nishing him a copy. Several young men who were making Inst Saturday night hideous received through the courtesy of Ofiloor Wood a formal introduction to Squire Angle, who thought about $2.00 and costs would be the size of it, and so it was. We withhold names this time, but promise no such immunity in future. The Navy Department has direct ed that tho fleet ordored north em bracing the Oregon, Brooklyn and several other warships and cruisers shall on arriving at Is. . steam up the North River as far as Grants tomb, fire a salute and return to anchorage.

If there were fif teen thousand people in the Yukon country they would average about $150. each. Considering prices in that region, and the hardships to be endured the field does not seem In- viliug. The Monroe County Agricultural Society will hold its twenty sixth annual fair at Stroudsburg Sept. 6, to 9, inclusive. As this is the only opportunity people of this section will have to visit a fair with con venience, and as this one promises numerous attractions it will be well to take a couple of days off to visit it. Seigel Cooper and Co. of N.

Sampson, and for Porto Rico, Rear Admiral Schley, Major General J. E. Brooke, and Brigadier General W. W. Gor don. The lightning last Tuesday even ing played a number of pranks in this vicinity. At Dr. Reeds it struck two or three times doing no damage but at the Vondermark Hotel it ran in on the wires burned out the tele phone and shocked II. M. Bull and Frank Fuller. Both the Hudson River and local companies telephone were quite badly disarranged. SANTIAGO DEAD TO BE BURIED IN THI3 COUNTRY. Secretary Alger has decided to have the bodies of the men who died or were killed at Santiago brought to this country, and has cabled to Santiago giving orders to that ef fect. This will be done just as soon as the heated term is past. It may bo that in order to avoid risks the bodies of tho men who died of fover will not be brought up for several months. In the meantime Secretary Alger has given ordors that the temporary headboards nowmarking the graves be replaced by more permanent ones so that indnntification may be com plete Whan the bodies of the sol diers arrive here they will be turn ed over to relatives or interred in the national cemeteries.

Inert aged Mail Facilities for the Dela ware valley. Thanks to the repeated efforts and continuous urgings of the new Post mistress, Mrs. A. Loderor, Forest, Pike Co., Pa., the grntilying news reached ns that Acting Ass't. Post master General Hon. G. F. Stone has granted additional facilities be tween Stroudsburg & Bushkill np to 12 times per woek, or from July 1st to Sept. 30th of ench year the order to take effect Ang. 15, 1898. This will enable the daily papers and the N. Y.. and PhiUv Mails to roach Bushkill at 10 o'clock and Forest Park at 10.30 every morning while heretofore the mail used to reach Bushkill in the afternoon at 4 o'clock and Forest Park at 5 o'clock. This successful move will be much appreciated by the Shmmer Boarders in the Valloy and will increase the sale of newspapers, which will now reach their destination before the news is stale and promoter as woll as the postal authorities are to be congratulated on their wise move CHEAP EXCURSION. On Sunday August 28, a great social gathering will take place at Binghamton and its beautiful Ross Park. Friondi and residents from the valleys of the "Delaware" "Sus quelianna" "Chomung" and "Cnnis- too" will meet and join with friends in the modern "parlor city" for a day of pleasant social recreation The popular Erie R. Rs Co. has made this occasion possible by offering cheap excursions from P. J., Hones dale, Carbondale, Hornellsville and all intermediate stations at rates that are cheaper than staying at home. Every body and their neigh bors are going. Train will leave P.

Finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving same at the Homestead. lw PEACE WITH SPAIN. By tho signing of the protocol and proclamation of tho President hostilities between the two nations censed, and the Commission to bo appointed will determine the details ond disposition of tho Philippine Islands. There seems to be a gen eral opinion tbat the town of Manila ond bay is all that the United States need claim. The uncivilized popu- ation of the islands would reqniro too large a standing army to keep in order, and it is not likely that iu generations the character of tho in- labitnnts oonld be changed or that sufficiently largo proportion of foreigners would sett te there to Con trol tho affairs. Mora or less tur moil will prevail, nnd the attempt to suppress it woul d not bo warran ted by any corresponding gain, oither in commerce or civilization. In time missionary efforts and the ameliorating influences of more di- ect contact with civilized people will wear away the rough edge of barbarism, and tho nntives may bo- come fitted for a moro enlightened form of government, but to nttempt at this time to bring them under any Ruch conditions would be at tended with insuperable difficulties, and would in the end amount to a practical depopnlotion. Of this we hove perhaps a most striking ex ample at home iu the management and control of our Indian wards and it would scorn like folly to nt tempt such an experiment at so great a distanco from our own shores. K Town Notes. Mrs. A.

PIG3 AND PIG PENS. The Board of Health at a recent meeting resolved thot inasmuch as many wore now maintaining pig pons without permits, and some while clean wore not as to location and construction in accordance with the ordinance, no interference would now be mado with the own ers of pigs and pens, provided same were kopt clean, until the present stock of pigs is disposed of and until Jan. 1, 1899, but after that date the B irough ordinance will be rigidly enlorced. This is fair notice and will work no hardship, but it is also intended that no advantage must bo taken of the present truce, nor will any grace be given after the time limit. So many complaints have been received by the Board, and so many unpleasant consoquonces arise from keeping pigs within the Bor ough limits, even though the pigs are kept clean, that it becomes a public necessity to enfore the ordi nance in future, and no one wishing prosperity, health and comfort for the community can object.

D. to prove to me and others that foreign missions nre of great value I don't kDow who H. K. Carroll is, anp whether I should consider bis utterances ns authority or not. Judged from the fact that ho claims much that is not In sight, I should sot him down as aD. D. and there fore possibly from self interest strongly in favor of the maintenance and extension of what I atn pleased to call "the foreign mis sionary fake" I saw yrs. ago in a Chvtstiiin newspaper, that during a convention of ministers In one of our great eastern cities, the question of fo-e!gn missions ca'ne up, In the course of which one Rev. p"esent cd asa reason why ho favored theusingof the missionary fund only In our own land, the claim that but 18' of the foreign mis sionary fund ever reached the heathen for w'lo'n it was collected, and presented sta t'sllcs to tho convention proving hisclaim. There was an outcry against the state ment, but no effort was mado to disprove It. A committee to Investigate was or dered and if It evor reported where the leakage occurred, I, for one, have never heard of it. Penna. Ruador claims much as theeffect of foreign, missions, or at lea it Mr. Carroll does, wlilch has un doubtedly been wrought out largely by other influences, and which would have been b'ought about if there hail never been a foreign mission. As civilizing agencies he totally igno us cunimeroe, tua public schools und the counts. Iquest.on also If "the mission Is more olloctivo than the police In the slums." In fact the Hible upon which nil mission work claims to be founded would not to-day stand an Instant as a complete guide to buinau conduct, and the perpetuity of what Is known as civilized government. That people who would make it the literal aud sole guide of their lives would be a nation of socialists: under it the laws of the en tire civilized earth would have to be en tirely remodeled, and the iucvitable result would be a long, long step toward barbar ism. I do not ask you to concede all this, yet if you will eudeavor to be au unbiased studeut of history and the Bible, then giving me tlm -and space I think I can couvluce you that these aro facts, aud if facts, then why should I not be opposed to what I believe may rightly be entltlep the "Foreign Mlssiouary Swindle.

Washington, D. C, Aug. 15, fl8. No other oountry ever did, and it is not likely that any other country evor will, in the short space of three months and a halt fight such a re markable war as the U. S. lias jnst fought to a successful close. It was one line of sucesses without even a setback from Dewey's victory in Manila Bay to the acceptance of the tonus of pea co by the French Am bassador, anthori7,od to act for Spain. Without detracting in tho slightest degree from the honors a grateful country are paying the heroes who participated in the fight ing it is well to call attention to the fact thot there is a man in Woshing ton to whoso iron will nnd sleepless energy more credit is due for the glorious results and ending of tho war than to any other single indi- vidual. That man is Wm. McKin- loy, who has shown himself worthy to be the Chief Executive of the grentest and strongest nation that the world has ever seen, by gaining the admiration, love and confidence of onr own people and the respect of the entire civilized world. He has raised the U. S. to a higher po sition than it has ever occupied in the eyes of tho world, and yet, he is today as unostentatious as he was when serving in tho House, and has no pride other than that which ev ery mnn has who conscientiously performs his duty. Every Ameri can can point with pride to Presi dent McIIinley and say to less fav ored nations : This is the sort of man that a free country produces at need. The members of the military com missions, tl.at are to act with Span ish commissioners, at San Juan, Por to Rico, and Havnnna in arranging for the evacuation of Porto Rico and Cuba by the Spanish troops, will be selected this weok but there is no special hurry about selecting the tivo peace commissioners that are to negotiate the formal treaty of peace botweon the U. S. and Spain, as the commission will not meet until Oct. 1, at Paris and the President wish es time to soloct the very best men to be had. All tho revenue cutters that were transferred from the Troasury De partment to the Navy Department at the begining of the war, have . been ordored back into the Treasury Service and they will as fast as pos sible resume their peaceful avoca tion of watching for violators of the tariff laws. President McKinley took occasion iu a letter declining an invitation from Gen. Breckenridge to review the troops at Chickamauga park, be cause of his inability to get away from Washington, to say a few words that will do much to soften tho bitter disapointment of the thousands of volunteers who had no opportunity to do any fighting. These words were : "The highest tribute tha t can be paid to the sol dier is to say that he performed his full duty. The field of duty is de termined by his government, and wherever that chances to be is the place of honor. All have helped in the great cause, whether in camp or battle, and when peace comes all will be alike entitled to the nation's gratitude." Gov. Otero, of New Mexico, who is visiting Washington, said 'Presi dent McKiuleys administration is im mensely popul r with us, and right here I wuut to say that New Mex ico is as loyal and patriotic as any state or territory in the union. Be cause many of our people are of Spanish descent, a lot of foolish stuff has beon writen accusing them of siding with Spain. A greater slander was never perpetrated. Our territory raised five companies of Rough Riders, three of which did Magnificent service in the hard fighting in front of Santiago. The cap tiii 11 of one of them, Max Luna, of Spanish lineago, especially distin guished himself in the charge at San Juan. It was reported that he was killed hot he is very much alive and it wouldn't be istonishing if his republican friends insisted upon nominating and electing him to Con gress." While there is no reason to be lieve that the present temporary peace will not be permanent no ohunces are to be taken. Every ves sel in our Navy, that is where it can ' be done, is to be thoroughly overhauled and put in first-claws flighting condition as fust tut the. work can be done. ...A
