THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Hcgulnr Corrispin'li-nt )
WasiunoTOS, D. C, V T. 19th, '09
Secretary Root finds much to please
him Just now. The iiiilitiirv move
ments In the Philippines during the
lust few day, wliieh nre preliminary
to the general campaign, Imve nil
lieen successful, notwithstanding the
had eonditioti of the ground nfter the
long mlny season. In every ease,
the object sought wax olituined.
Secretary Him it thinks this is the be
ginning of the end, unci tlmt long lie
fore the close of tlie dry season there
will lie no armed liodies of Filipinos
on the island of Luzon, anil no difll
eulties are anticipated on any of the
other islands. Everybody now looks
forward to the early paeillration of
the Philippines. Another thing that
pleased Secretary Hoot was the tele
gram from Havana stating tlmt the
taking of the Cuhan census was start
ed to-day on schedule time and that
everything has lieen arranged for its
early completion.
ien. Shaftcr was to-day ret I nil as
a Brigadier (ieiiernl of thu renul.ir
army, lint his management of af
fairs at San Francisco, where he has
charge of the shipping of all troops
to the Philippines, has lieen so elli
eient that he will he retained in the
service as a Major (feneral of Volun
teers, as long as his services nre re
quired, (ieneral Shatter was retired
under the aged limit law, which gave
the war department no discretion,
to-day heing his sixty-fourth birth
day. People wlio watch the efforts of
tlio railroad companies to handle
their freight traffic will agree with
Mr. Bryan's recent reluctant state
ment that "thorn seems to bo mime
prosperity." The demands from
all over the country for cars to
move products continues to tn.x
every resource, of the car Bhops.
The railroads centering in the great
manufacturing cities of the East
are making use of everything in the
shape of a freight-carrier that can
bo mndo to run ; yot complaints of
shortage and delays nre constant,
while in the West the crops nre tax
ing the roads to their utmost.
The mnnngors of the Philadelphia
Export Exposition, while not com
plaining about the prosperity and
business activity of the country,
make no hesitation in saying that
they should hnve hail a far better
display but for the fact that
manufacturers were too busy to pro
pare exhibits. "The manufactur
ers said to me," remarked President
Wilson, in discussing tlio subject,
"thnt they had from six months' to
two years' orders ahead, nnd that
they wore therefore unable to spare
the time to prepare special exhibits
or to prepare such additional orders
ns the exhibits might bring them."
The suggestion thnt Congressman
Lontz be sent to the Philippines to
get information in , support of the
Little American party is probnbly
made in the hope of getting Mr.
Lentz out . of Ohio during the re
mainder of the campaign, ns his
lurid speeches in support of every,
thing anarchistio and against every
thing looking to good order nnd
prosperity are benefiting, fur more
thnn they are injuring, the Repub
lican cause. Mr. Lentz, however,
is enough of a lawyer to know thnt
a mission intended for the Rid and
comfort of the enemies of the Gov-
eminent would be liable to lead to
serious results, nnd It is believed
that he will not seriously consider it.
Senator Hnywnrd, of Nebraska,
who is in Washington, and who is
thoroughly jtostcd on the political
situation in the state, says he is sat
luttwt that the llepuhliuaiM will win,
although Mr. Bryan is making great
er efforts to prevent it than he did to
carry the state for himself in ".Hi.
Hieaking of the National outlook,
Senator llayward said: "I regard the
re-nomination of Mr. Bryan as abso
lutely certain, and his defeat is in
evitable. He can't get the prosjier
ius citizens of the West exciU-d over
as dead an issue as free silver is. Nor
can he gain any capital by his stand
upon the Philippine question, though
it is rather ditlieult to learn just
where he does stand on tlmt subject.
At all events, he won't lie able to
get jthe electoral votes of his own
state next year, and outside of the
South, the voters everywhere will
record themselves overwhelmingly
for his Republican opponent.".

Bank of North America, N. Y. The
ceremony was performed at one

John Held I). I)., of Detroit, Mich.,
In the siMH'tous parlors which were
tastefully decorated in pink and
green. The bride was attired in sil

old honiton lace which was caught
up on the bodice by a diamond sun

She carried a shower bouquet of
brides roses and lillies of the valley.
The flower girls were the Misses
Marion and Agness Smith, of East

white organdie dresses and carried
pink roses. The ushers were G.
rthur Pendreigh brother of the

OBITUARY.
MRS. A. S. OARP1NKR.
A brief announcement made In
last week's Press of the death of
one who wns well known in this
community mny be appropriately
supplemented with some facts in
regard to her work for her fellow
creatures, which have been kindly
furnished by one who was very near
to tier. An outline of her labors
prior to the donth of her husband
would be a sketch of his life, ns
hers was so closely identified with
his. She wns an unusunlly vigor
ous, nctivo person and inherited n
sturdy constitution from Norwe
gian and Jersey Dutch stock or an
cestors. Since her husband's death
she has been more active in chari
ties nnd church work, owing pnrtly
to the fact that she had no fnmily
cares or homo duties nnd lived in
various parishes where her husband
had preached in six different States,
and had numerous life-long friends
in all those towns. After Mr. Onrdi
nor's death while in St. Pnul, Minn.,
she wns connected for some months
with the city relief work and wns
highly complimented for her effi-
ciontnid. She wns out dny nfter
day when the thermometer marked
20 nnd 25 below zero, and was ulso
connected with the sewing schools
in that city nnd likewise in Brook
lyn and taught in Sunday Schools
in both places.
She joined Dr. Gregg's church in
B'klyn and did good work there in
the various societies. She had ended
hor summer outing for several
years by a few weoks' visit at Mil
ford and always enjoyed the society
of her friends greatly at that place.
She was born in New York sev
enty-two years ago and was the
youngest of thirteen childron. One
brother and one sister survive her.
She is also survived by one dnugh
ter. Her remains were laid to rest
at Sag Harbor, in the family plot,
under the shadow of a beautiful
monument erected by her at the re
quest of bar husband.
Ships that Shelled Ceryera.
Philadelphia, Oct- 18, 1899.
Interest in the Philadelphia Na
tional Export. Exposition is con
stantly increasing. This is shown
not only in the very lnrge attend
ance, but in the arrangements be
ing made by organizations, cities
and in some instances States, for
special days nt the exhibition. The
various railroads entering in Phil
adelphia report a very wide inter
est along their lines, and expect to
bo compelled to make special train
arrangements nt times during the
continuation of the Exposition.
The difficulties heretofore in the
way of the proper display of exhi
bits which are intended to be in mo
tion, have been removed by the
supply of ample power, and the
busy hum of machinery makes mus
ic now through all tho buildings.
This lends a charm to the exposi
tion which, for a few days after the
opening, was lacking
Among the new and interesting
exhibits which were brought to the
Exposition last week, and effective
ly mounted, are the models of four
of the great battle ships which de
stroyed Cervera's fleet at Santiago.
Ihese models are perfect to the
minutest details, and strike the eye
beyond the line of bisected 13-inch
shells, such as put an end to the
flight of the "Christobal Colon, "and
which can be projected from the
decks of the "Oregon" and ships of
that character for a distance of
thirteen miles. These models are
in the south pavilion of the Mail.
Building, and attract as much at
tention as any exhibit in the build
ing. They are from the Cramps'
ship yard, where the vessels were
built, and their chief value and in
terest is in the accuracy and detail
of their construction. A very uv
teresting display of relies of the
Spanish War, many of them from
the harbor of Manila, and some of
them from the heights of San Juan,
is made in another part of the Main
Building.
P. C. Rutnn will close out his
stock of 1899 bicycles cheap If you

An Exhioit far Farmers.
Philadelphia, Oct. 19. 1899.
Machinery thnt saves money for
the farmer and enables him to
economize in the matter of time is
s Tarled as, that in any line of
manufacture, but it is only when
the modern in Agricultural imple
ments is brought together, from
time to time, thnt the sturdy tiller
of the soil is enabled to form an
idea as to the advancement that is
being made in the direction of light
ening Jus burden by diminishing
his honrs of toil nnd the oost in dol
lars and cents of production. An
exhibition thnt will forcibly im
press upon the fnrmer the progress
that hns been made in the pnst few
years nlong the line of soil tilling
nnd harvesting mechnnism is pre
sented at the Philadelphia National
Export Exposition, an entire build
ing lfiO by 450 feet being devoted al
most exclusively to this purpose.
In this spneious structure nre
shown the indispensable cultivator,
combining every facility for pro
ducing the best results with tho
least possible energy j plows thnt
turn up the soil according to the
latest approved scientiflo methods
nnd evoke words of praise from tne
plowman while he homeward plods
his wenry way ; rollers that give to
tho ground the finished touches pre
paratory to seeding ; mechanical
planters that bury tho seed rapidly
and with regularity without wast
ing a grain ; machinery for garner
ing nnd stowing the crops thnt hnve
come as a reward for toil and en
terprise, and great wagons for
carrying the product of the soil to
mnrket.
Such in brief is the character of
the exhibit in the Exposition imple
ment building, so far as it appeals
to farmers direct. A display of
road making machines helps to solve
the good roads problem, in which
all humanity is interested.
Vehicles, from the light, airy,
rubber-tired plensure carriage to
the ponderous farm, ice and gener
al utility wagon, are exhibited, like
wise harness for the horses that
draw thorn. The exhibition is the
most complete of its kind that has
been presented since the Columbian
Exposition in Chicago, and equally
important from the faot that it
shows every advancement made
since 1893 in the production of farm
machinery. Up-to-date farmers
will take advantage of this practi
cal, Instructive and profitable ob
ject lesson in modern mechanism
for agriculturists, and for every
farmer of whatever degree of en
terprise who inspects and studies
this display there will be one more
who is the better able to compete
with his rivals in reaching the
markets of the world with his pro
ducts. He will see practical demon,
strations of the utility of this mod
ern machinery, will hear its advant
ages extolled and will ascertain
where and how it may be acquired.
The time is ripe for a visit to the
Exposition and the railroads enter
ing Philadelphia offer special rates
to persons desirous of visiting the
great show.
