BITS OF WASHINGTON LETTER
Secretory Wilson, who has just
roturned from a western trip ml the
way to tlie Pacific const, upon
which ha wont to study agricultur
al conditions so as to tniiko tho work
of the Agricultural Department as
helpful to the farmers in tlmt sec
tion as possible, says Mm talk about
a sentiment in the wesr, against the
Philippine policy of President Mo
Kinley is all manufactured in the
east, and that he did not meet a sin
glo "anti" west of Chicago, although
ho met hundreds of men, in all sec
tions of life He found the farmers
prosperous all through the west,
nncl especially so in the corn belt.
Ho says the wheat crop of that sec
tion will be a little short, hut that
the crop of corn and oats and other
products are enormous. Speaking of
the annexation sentiment in the
west, Secretary Wilson said : "The
people of the west understand this
question better than do tho.-.e of the
east. They know that Dewey was
sent to the Philippines to protect
onr large and growing trade with
the Orient. We have labored to
build up a trade wirh China and .la
pan, and when the war began Spain
had a fleet in Oriental waters ready
to attack and destroy our com
merce. She also was ready to en
courage privateering, and Dewey
went to Hongkong to be ready to
protect the shipping, Ho destroyed
the Spanish fleet as the safe way to
prevent it from preying upon Amer
ican merchant ships. Had the bat
tle resulted in a victory for Spain
rather than for Dewey, the Spanish
fleet would have crossed the Pacific
to attack our western ports. The
people out west realize this, and they
also realize that Dewey's victory
and the subsequent events which
transferred the Philippines to the
U. S. have given an extraordinary
impetus to the commerce of this
country with the Orient. At all the
Pacific porta the docks are piled up
with goodeawaitinftsliipment to the
Oriont, and we have not. ships
enough to carry them. The people
of the west regard the Pacific as an
American lake, which should be cov
ered with ships oarrying the Amer
erican flag, and I don't know but
they are right about that. Why,
I went on one big ship, loading at
Taooma, nnd I found in the cargo
lumber, wheat and flour from
the state of Washington ; but
ter and eggs frcm Iowa and Michi
gan ; fruit from California and Ore
gon ; steel from Alabama ; cotton
goods from the Carolinas ; bicycles
from Chicago j notions from New
England, and something from more
than half the states in the Union.
This cargo was bound for China and
Japan, and it represented every sec
tion and nearly every branch of in
dustry in the U. S. It showed me
more clearly than 1 had ever seen
before the general interest we all
have in this Oriental trade."

COST OF STREET LIGHTING.
Correcting Last Week
Statement.
In the issue of this. jA-'
;yr of last
week we were led Intobertai'n inno
' ' 'FT..
curacies of statement as to the cost
of street lighting and the compari
son of the relative cost of the light
ing of the streets of this Borough
with the town of New Milford,
Connecticut, which we desire to
correct, as follows :
The statement, that "if (New Mil
ford) pays, assuming it takes the
same number of lights, 40, $720. for
an all-night or ten hour light, we
pay $540. only $80. loss and have
light only until midnight, or at the
rate of 75 cents for 5 hours j they
pay $380. or $280. less that we pay
for about that service" is incorrect,
and the further statement, "that
our down-east namesake pays half
the rate we pay" is also incorrect,
for the reason that we are now in
formed that the streets of the town
of New Milford are not lighted at
all by acetylene gas, but with elec
tricity, and the costs of lighting
said streets, the lergth of same be-
ng about 2 miles, is .$1512.00 from
18 arc light burners at $84. each
per annum, and these lights are put
out at 12 o'clock midnight, and on
moonlight nights or so-called moon
light nights, are not lighted at all.
Not wishing to do any injustice
to the members of the Town Coun
cil of Milford, who made the con
tract with the Gas Company of this
place for seven year's lighting of
our streets, or any one, we cheer-
fully make the above correction.
(The above corrections are
wholly based on information re
ceived from a member of the Mil
ford Gaa Company. Editor Press.)
"The Frees" and the O. A. R.
Philadelphia has always been a
Grand Army town and the ap
proaching annual meeting of the
Grand Army promises to outdo any
recent gathering in number, in en
thusiasm and in full, patient and
costly preparation fr the welcome,
the comfort and the convenience of
the city's guests.
Each step in public preparation
and pageant will be chronicled in
"The Press." Committee meetings
plans, programmes, reunions, form
al and informal gatherings, stated
meetings and special assemblages
will all have a space, attention, de
tail and accuracy equaled by no
other paper. As always on these
special occasions, "The Press" will
give all the views in the best way
and in the fullest manner.
But much remains. Personal re
unions between man and man are
not es important than publio. In
dividual meetings couut for as much
as the great throngs which will
march in procession and gather in
the Academy. Many a man will
come to this great assemblage of
his comrades thirty-four years ago
anxious first and chiefly to meet
some one comrade unseen for a gen
eration. "The Press" proposes according
ly to throw its columns open iu aid
of every such man. From now un
til the end of the Grand Army En
campment "The Press" will print
free of charge all personal requests
and announcements by any com
rade directly relating to any other
comrade, or lost equipment, army
service, etc. Beside printing all the
news of the Encampment "The
Press" desires, in order to make it
successful, to open its oolumns freely
to all such announcements by indi
vidual comrades which will aid in
enabling them to meet each other,
to find each other, and to enjoy to
the utmost this great gathering, to
so many comrades their last assem
bly betore taps are beaten. We take
a sincere pleasure, from now on, in
offering our columns to each indi
vidual Grand Army man for the ob
ject and purpose indicated.

ishment of the large number of
spectators. But the end is not yet.

HELP FOR THE STRICKEN.
An Earnest Appeal For Contributions
in Aid of the Victims of the Ter
rible Hurricane at Forto Rico.
A stirring appeal has been made
to the people nt large by the U. 8.
Secretary of War for contributions
prompt and generous, in aid of the
thousands of sufferers left homeless
and in starvation by the recent dis
astrous hurricane which swept over
Porto Rico. Accurate reports state
that several thousand human lives
were lost, hundreds of thousands of
once happy homes wore destroyed,
crops were everywhere utterly
ruined and many thousands of hu
man beings are literally starving
for want of food. Hungry, house
less, with scarcely any clothing left
to cover their nakedness, the un
fortunate survivors are, we learn by
telegraphic advices, threatened with
the additional horrors of a plague.
Crowds of women, old men and
helpless little ones are encountered
on every hnnd pltoously begging for
food and shelter.
Over ninety per cent, of the
houses have been demolished and
in many places the furious onset
of the sea has swept away almost
every vestige of flourishing little
towns and villages. From Adjun-
tas, Guayamas, Zabuooa, Mayagnez,
Maunabo, Arroyo and other locali
ties, the loss of life has been appal
ling and the cries fot help are piti
ful and heart-rending. In one dis
trict alone, Utuado, over two thous
and persons perished, and, as in
other southern towns, those who
have escaped with thoir lives are in
want.
Mayor Samuel H. Ashbridge and
the Citizens' Permanent Relief
Committee, of Philadelphia, have
organized a Citizens' Porto Rico Re
lief Fund, and our readers are asked
to contribute to it and to send their
contributions either to Hon. Samuel
II. Ashbridge, Mayor of Philadel
phia, or to Messrs. Drexel & Co.,
treasurers, Forto Rloo Relief Fund.

which port she will sail loaded with
the food, etc., donated by the big-
hearted men, women and children
of Penn., who have never failed to
respond, heartily and liberally to
the appeal of the distressed.
All contributions of money, how
ever small, will be gladly received
and publicly acknowledged.
Fight About Sabbath.
A peculiar tight as to which is the
proper day to be observed as the
Sabbath, is on at Lake Ariel between
the Seventh Day Advontists and
those whose opinions differ.
8. B. Fields is a prosperous farmer
of Ariel and a Seventh Day Adven
tist. In keeping with his teaching
he regularly observes the seventh
day of the week as Sabbath. Last
week he was arrested charged, by
David Edwards, with having per
formed manual labor on a day com
monly known as Sunday. The
charge states that on July 31st, Mr.
Fields was engaged in raking, bind
ing and hauling oats into his barn.
Mr. Fields does not deny the charge
but claims that under the constitu
tion of the United States he is per
mited to worship God as he pleases.
He also claims that ho follows the
Mosuio law contained in the ten
commandments
Mr. Fields was fined $4 and the
cost which he paid. Ha has now
appealed the case to the county
courts which will be called upon to
decide which day is the proper one
to be observed as the Sabbath.
Id different parts of Sullivan Co.
where Seventh Pay Adventlst
preachers have accidentally swoop
ed down on the farmers, several
families can be found who observe
Saturday as the Sabbath and seem
to enjoy the change. Why they
make the change in their day of
worship is a question for the Sev
enth Day believers to answer ; after
having observed and hallowed Sun
day as the Lord's day sic.ee infancy
these poor, weak-minded, easily per
suaded victims now cut hay, hoe
potatoes and go about their farms
working at anything their hands
find to do.
It probably makes little difference
what day of the week is observed as
the Sabbath so long as one is ob
served, but when the greater part
of a village looks forward to Sun
day as the proper day for worship,
it s a mistaken idea for some few
to change the day thihkiog they are
doing the right thing.

Many Merry Maidens.
All the world loves a beautiful girl.
The opportunity will be afforded du
ring the National Export Exposition
for the public to feast its eyes on a
Congress of real American beauties,
a repre?entive from each state and
Territory in the person of its lovliest
daughter, all to be assembled in a
great Beauty Show. The proposition
also extends to a representative from
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Islands of
Hawaii and each of the principal
Philippine group. The foreign rep.
resentatives to have an established
reputation for beauty in their re
spoctative countries. This will af
ford an excellent opportunity for
comparing our native beauties with
those of our new Possessions.
Though different countries may as
sume different standards of beauty,
comeliness of person among women
is common to all countries and may
even be termed international since
so many beautiful American girls
have taken foreigu husbands. Cer
tain it is that femine beauty is the
product of every land that will cause
men to work harder, risk more and
go farther than anything else unless
per chance it is to follow the dream
and glitter of gold and even then in
most instances it is for the sake of
the girl he left behind him.
