THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Rrmilnr Correspondent.)
Wjhiiinuthn. I). C Jl'l-Y 3d, '9.
When President McKinley nil
nnnnc l thjit ;V.' olli'crs nf the new
rf-piineuts nf volunteers, to lie en
listed fur service! in tho Philippines,
would he chosen from tliP troops
which lind seen service, with few
from the ivmilar iirniy, he meant ex
actly wbnt he said, hut it 1ms not
prevented great pressure, politienl
nnd otherwise, being brounht to hoar
upon him to (rive commissions to
iiicii who huve hud no military ex
)enence wlmtever. This pressure,
great us it is, will hardly succeed in
lauding n single commission. In
fact its very existence is almost
Mil insult to the President, as it
impliesa doubt of liH word. The
President's petition is the pro
per one.. The more eflieient made
these, volunteer regiments are
tho greater their value will be to the
country and nothing can add more
to their efficiency than to give them
experienced oflieers. They are in
tended for the hardest kind of ser
vice, ns the understanding is that as
soon as the rainy season is over in
the Philippines, Hen. Otis will start
tho most niriii ess've campaign be has
waged against the Kilipnos, and
tbesi) volunteers will participate in
that campaign .
Senator Carter, of Montana, was
in Washington a day or two ago,
and said of the political outlook:
"President Mckinley will bo re-nominated
and re-elected by an over
whelming majority of the doctoral
vote. Tho democrats aro hopeless
ly beaten in advance, for they have
no issues. Bryan is about dead.
I do not think that Bryan will be
tho nominee of his narty in l'.KiO,
though I am aware that a great
, manv of the Democratic leaders pro
foss to be for him. Gorman is pop
ular in tho Kast and if nominated
would put up a still' fight, but bo
would hardly be satisfactory to the
radical dement of his party in the
South and West. Tho Democrats
are in a bad position, for there nev
er was n time when they had so lit
tle Presidential timber, and if Bry
an should be nominated, it will be
largely due to the scarcity (if avil
able enndida tos."
The business of tho Patent Ofllco,
always profitable to the Government
has become more so than ever un
der the capable administration of
Commissioner Duoll. Tho weekly
receipts of the ofllco aro now aver
aging about 5,000 moro than they
did a year ago, and the number of
patents, trade-marks and labels is
sued last week, was greater than
have been issued in ono week since
the spring of 181)0, when the record
was broken.
Governor Roosevelt has always
been popular in Washington, and
since his flat-footed declaration in
favor of tho re-nomination and re
election of President McKinley,
which made it clear that he proper
ly sized up the attempt of the
Democrats and assistant Democrats
to use him in their hopeless fight
against President McKinley, ho is
more popular than ever. Level
headedness is alwoys appreciated by
the people.
Gon. Grosvonor said of the Ohio
!ampaign, in which he will take
his usual conspicuous part : "I
think we are going to have just
nhout a nominal campaign. The
Democrats have not nominated
Iheir man yet, and new conditions
may arise, but it peotns to nie that
the buttle will bo fought out along
the regular luios, with the regular
result Republican "victory."
Membership in the League of
American Wheelmen means: Re
duced ratos nt good hotels, a bright,

ed roads nnd bettor streets, a valu
able road book and touring maps,
guaranteed legal protection, without
.costf your rights as a cyclist, tho

from every bill for bicycle repairs.
The road maps prepared by the
Pennsylvania Division of the L. A.

pears the Following:
A STATEMENT. -
Editor Pkkss: Desiring that my
hill for sorvices as commissioner,
may show as rendered to the Coun
ty Auditors, that taxpayers may
know the precise number of days
spent by me during the past year,
I hereunto npp' ml tho recapitula
tion made by mo as shown by my
account filed and audited.
Days in office 108 at :i.G0, 378.-
00. Days out of office, inspecting
bridges, etc., 43 at 13.50, $147.00.
Horse hire, R. It. and stage fare,
f.'O. G3. Total $545.53.
In making out my account a
slight mistako occurred, by which
Deo. 31st, 1888,1 ovordrew 19,47.
This was re funded, hut too late to
correct tho mistako so as to have it
appear in tho settlement as having
boon paid back. Jas. M. Bknsley.
In tho Press of Feb. 10th, a lit
tle side light, was thrown on the
above as follows :
ANOTHER STATEMENT SIDE LH1HTS
ON EXPENSES.
Editor Press, Dear Sir : In your
last i.-.sue I notice a statement made
by James M. Bonsloy, Commission
er in which he endeavors to enlight
en the taxpayers ot the County as
to his expenses during the last year
by itemizing his account. He men
tions his expense for horse hire, R.
R. and stage fare at $20.53. I would
like to enquire when he attempted
to go into details, why he did not
include the charge made for horse
hire for him in voucher No. 655, re
ceipted by his son Harry F. Bonsloy
of $45.25, and vouchor No. 185 for
horse hire while attending Court of
Appeals iu Greene and Palmyra
townships of $2.37, and also bill of
stage fure to aud from Port Jervis
in vouchers No 185, 1898, and No.
53, 18U9, of $3.50. Instead of de
ceiving tho taxpayers by making
his bill for horse hire, stage and R.
R. fare at $20.53 It would be with
the above additions $71.05
A statement from him would be
interesting as to why he charged
(3.50 for his time and $2.45 for horse
hire aud feed for horse April 15th
1898, going to Greeiitowu to make
contract for the building of guard
walls for county bridge, at Gilpins
Mill, when he did not attend the let
ting or sigu the contract after made.
Jas. H. Heller.
So fur as we know no response has
ever been made, in print, to the
above by Mr. Bonsley. Certainly a
charge that he attempted to deceive
the taxpayers to the extent of over
$50. in his statement should merit
some notice, Jf true, as would seem
from his silence, he could have noth
ing to say if not true in justice to
himself if he desires justice, and in
fairness to the taxpayers, and as
condemning the ' commissioner
making the statement he should
deny it.

A Howling Success in Every

MANY VISITORS IN TOWN.
The Ball Game A Walk-Over For
Jf atamoras. Firemens' Sail in
the Evening a 8uccesa.
All Well Satisfied
The day was fine but somowbot
warm and the excellent nrrange
ments were all carried out without
anything to mar their completeness.
The parade, in the order named, was
unusually good and tho fire and hose
companies presented a fine appear
ance with their gaily decorated ap
paratus. The morshnls J. II. Rvder
Chief, with J. B. "VanTassel, J. C.
Bull and Howard Reed assistants
kept the procession moving in ex
cellent ordt-r. Preceding came a
carriage containing the renders and
orators, followed by the Town Coun
cil, firo chief und assistants, then
the band and that typical Undo
Sam, Titos. Truai, led Bawkill Hose
with their neat uniforms, followed
by the boy fireenmpany command
ed by Percy Hart, foreman, the
youthful crowd emulating their
elders in appearance and bearing,
with Vat dertniirk Hose sprucely
attired in white shirts, following.
Next came a handsomely trimmed
float bearing most of the feminine
youth and benuty of the town with
a rear guard of blue shirted Hook &
Ladder men who presonted a very
mnnly nppearance. Some nonde
script and advertising conveyances
followed which more or loss amus
ed, if thoy old not especially inter
est tho crowd
Tho Declaration of Independence
was well read by Rev. Charles B.
Carpenter and Kev'ds Thos. Nichols
and W. R. Neff each made brief
but witty and well chosen addresses
which were greatly appreciated by
their hearers. Degan essayed the
greased pole and by aid of a boost
reached the dollar mark. The sack
race was something of a fake nnd
was won by an ouisidor who was
very slightly encumbered. The
base hall game between a home
nine and the Matamoras chaps prov
ed a cinch for the latter and the
score was too ont-sided, 11 to 2 to be
of surpassing interest. The batter
ies on either side were about nil
there was of it, and the game was
promatnrully ended by "8i" who
undertook to flatten out the earth
reaching for a fly. The exploit left
both him and the game in a collap
sed condition.
Tho ball in the evening was a
huge success. The room was crowd
ed and tho receipts beyond expecta
tion. Altogether the day netted
tho firemen the neat sum of $150.
Some fine firoworks were shown
in the evening, L. W. Armstrong
as usual, dolighting a large crowd
with his display. The day passed
without violations of law, and in an
orderly manner, barring the noise
which began too early in the morn
ing and was too peisistently contin
ued, to the great discomfort of
many would-be sleepers.
Where the Compait Came From.
The earliest roferen3es to the use
of the mariner's campass are to be
found in the Chinese history, from
which we learn how, in the sixty
fourth year of the reign of Hoang
ti (2634 B. C.j the Emperor attack
ed Tchi-yeon, on tne plains ofTchou
lou, and, finding his army embar
rossed by a thick fog raised by the
enemy, constructed an instrument
for indicating the south, so far as to
distinguish the four cardinal points,
and was thus enabled to pursue his
adversary and capture him.
The power of the loadstone to
communicate polarity to iron is said
to be for the first time explicitly
mentioned in a Chinese dictionary,
finished in A. D. 121, where the
loadstone is defined as "a stone with
which an attraction can be given to
the needle." '
The Chinese appear to have once
navigated as far as India by the aid
of the oompass. Pearson's Weekly.

In a personal letter to the chief of
the Department of Publicity nnd
Promotion, of the National Export
Exposition, General Joseph R. Haw-
ley, United States Senator from Con-
necticut, who was president of the
Centennial Commission of 1870,
writes :
"1 am complimented by the re
quest you make of me concerning
the proposed National Export Ex
position of American manufacturers
to bo held in Philadelphia this fall.
'It will be impossible for the busi
icss world to devise any scheme of
the kind that would not bo deserv
iiiL' of the henrty support of all the
citizens und the good will of the
whole country.
"It was one of the highest hon
ors of my life that I was president
of the Centennial Commission of '7(5,
from tho beginning to the end. Of
course we should have failed had it
not been for the powerful, patrio
tic and constant support of all of the
strong mon of Philadelphia.
"Your Exposition nnd Commer
cial Congress are both grand concep
tions, and I look forward to a splen
did beginning and ending of both."

Than Ever Betore Since
Its Erection.
Tho city people made a grnnd
rush for the country on Saturday,
nnd in fact up to and including Tues
day tho 4th, They were flocking in
all directions from Port Jervis on
Saturday, to Milford enme londnfter
load. Tri-States nnd Monticello were
well patronized.
Almost every Erie train, west
ward bound was from one-half to
two hours late at Port Jervis.
No. 9. arriving in P. J. at 12-05,
enme in two sections, nine conches
each, and were crowded with pas
sengers and packed with baggage.
Tho P. J., M. & N. Y. R. R. carried
the largest numbor of passengers on
Saturday since the road has exist
ed. The 12:15 Monticello train was
unable to leave P. J. until about 1
o'clock owing to section No. 2 of
train No. 9 on the Erie being 30
minutes loto. An extra pnssenger
coach was run on this train to ac
commodate the people and baggage
had to be loft bobind piled up at
P. J. Bicyclists were allowed to
pack their wheels in the front ends
of the passenger coaches.
Train No 27, arriving at P. J.
5 :20, came in three sections nnd
were also very much crowded.
At least four hundred people were
transported to Monticello on Satur
day alone, nnd about an equal num
ber on Sunday and Monday.
Many boarding house keepers
who make money enough during
the summer season to support their
families the whole year, will do as
well, if not better, than they have
done within the past five or six
years. Some of the proprietors of
the bitgost houses in this section
contemplate a good season while it
lasts, but are inclined to think it
will be rathor a short one.
New York, during the past win
ter, has in most all branches
of business had a hotter year by far
than in previous years, and this is
doubtless duo to tho administration
to an extent.
We sincerely hope the people who
ha ve prospored, will show their ap
preciation by filling every Milford
honrding house to overflowing, nnd
wo especially like the kird who
spend their summers with us jear
after year.
Now, tho proper thing for Mil
ford's enterprising people to do is,
all help boom our town and make it
as attractive as possiblo.
The Entertainment.
The evening spent at Brown's
Hill, July 1st, was one of the most
entertaining that Milford poople
have enjoyed this summer. So en
thusiastically was it received that
already we hear echoes from neigh
boring towns with an urgent request
that the comedi es be repeated with
in their limits.
Tho humorous little ono act
comedy, "Two Flats nnd a Sharp,"
presented by Miss Lulu Lewis, Miss
Noycs and Dr. von der Hyde reveal
ed mucji talent as each one lost their
identity in the characters they so
well portrayed.
During tho intermission Mrs. von
der Hyde delighted the audience by
singing" A Day Dream" in a charm
ing manner.
"Outwitted" was the second
comedy, and the difficult and laugh
able situations were fnost naturally
pictured by Mrs. von der Hyde,
Miss Edith Lewis and John De C.
Van Etten, each taking with the
greatest ease their respective parts
of the scene.
After again listening to a very
pretty vocal solo by Mrs. von der
Hyde. Mr. and Mrs. Pieroe, of
"Arisbce" closed the entertainment
with a scene from "TheToodles."

Be careful of the tender hearts
This summer racked by thee !
Thou art ao needed by the girls
Upon the ballroom floor,
To help them "float" to pull the bont
To flirt upon the shore,
To aid them in the hillside climb
Or in their hunt for flowers
As thou art brave, lie merciful ;
Do not missue thy powers !
If Sophie should receive thy smilo,
Give Genie, dear, a glonoo,
With Josie pace the sands a while,
And then with Jennie dance.
Swing Lottie high into tho nir,
And then with Daisy bike.
Take Florence for a little drive,
But treat them all alike.
For if thou showed a preference
The rest would faint or freeze.
Divide themself among them all

A Horse Thief Caught.
(From Our Liiyton CorJespoiulont.)
On Wednesday night of hist week
a horse belonging to John V. Ma
jor, was stolen from the stables of
Wm. Major, one milo north of Tat
tle's Cornors. Soon after the theft
was discovered Mr. Major promptly
telephoned the towns within a reas
onable radius, an exact description
of the horse, and then in company
with Constable Manning Hotnling
started in pursuit. Being just after
the rains of Tuesday night the
tracks were quite plain, though the
theif gave them considerable trouble
at various cross roads by turning to
one side, and following the side rond
for a distance, and then coming
back on the sod alongside to the
road he intended to follow, and
keeping on the soil for a distance on
that also. They soon got on to his
ruso and followed at a pretty good
pace. Between Middlovillo and
Flutbrookville they came on tracks
of the horse coming towards them.
On inquiry they found that a boy
had seen tho horse feeding along
side the road with a bridle on, and
thinking some one would call for
him tied him safoly in a stable.
Major and Hotalen drove on about
three miles when they came upon
their man sitting by the roadside.
They drove rapidly to him, and
springing out secured him without
resistance. After a hearing before
a Justice in Newton, where he gave
his name as John Coons, and was
otherwise very reticent, ho was
handed over to Sheriff Andress as
an addition to his already too large
and rapidly growing family in tho
Hotel de Lockup.
