THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Rrgnlnr Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C.. May 6, 1601.
No belter evidence of executive
ability cnn bo shown tlmn tho
smooth working of a grent business
establishment (hiring the absence of
Its executive lienil. The govern
ment of the United States is one of
the greatest, if not the greatest,
business establishment on earth,
and although President McKinley,
its executive head, and five of his
chief assistants are on the (,tlior
side of the continent, the business
of the government in Washington
Is running aa smoothly ns a well
regulated clock.
The post ofllee department Is after
some of the alleged oil companies,
which are flooding the mails with
alluringly worded circular letters,
promising nil sorts of extravagant
profits on money invested In the
stock of those alleged companies.
To find the evidence to warrant is
suing a fraud order against this
class of schemes is difficult and slow,
but the postal inspectors are old
hands at that sort of work and ex.
pert to succeed. Meanwhile, those
who have money to invest would
better be very careful about how
they put it into oil schemes con
ducted by men who are strangers to
them.
A scheme that is being advertised
in this country is thus exposed in a
report to the department of state,
from L. W. Osborne, United States
Consul General at Apia, Samoa : "1
have from time to time made in
vestigations, and if there are any
minerals either gold, silver, mica,
nickel, zinc, tin or any other in
these islands, I have been unable to
find them or to find any "Gold Min
ing Company of Apia,' as reported
in the United States papers, the rec
ords do not disclose the fact, and
the officials have no information on
the subject. No steamers, schoon
ers, or other vessels are engaged in
transporting sand or ores to Sydney
or to San Francisco, or elsewhere ;
no such persons as those named as
constituting the 'gold mining com
pany' are known here, and, in my
judgment a tremendous swindle is
being perpetrated, and the- public
ought to know the facts,"
Surgeon J. F. Jones, who has just
returned from the Philippines,
brought a young Filipino, son of the
Governor of Rohol, under the Span
ish regime, about twenty years old,
with him for the purpose of ar
ranging to have him thoroughly
educated in English. Dr. Jones
thought some arrangement oould be
made with the war department to
pay the educational expenses of this
young man out of the Philippine
revenues, but after considering the
matter in all Us bearings, it was
considered best not to establish suoh
a precedent, and Dr. Jones will
privately arrange for the young
man's instruction in Euglish. He is
a good Spanish scholar.
When a man goes into a thing
himself, his advice to others to do
so carries additional weight. Mr.
A. T. Goehr, recently mustered out
of the army, after considerable ser
vice as an cfllcer in the Philippines,
is now in Washington, on his way
back to the islands, of which he
Mid: "I became convinced that
there are excellent opportunities in
the Philippines for young men. It
is to all intents and purposes a new
country, and will be developed rap
idly by the Americans in the next
few years. Several San Francisco
corporations have been organized to
operate in the islands, and I have
Offers from certain of tho8e corpora
tions, one of which I have accepted.
I must be back in the Philippines
by July 31. The copper and gold
mines in the islands offer excellent
opportunities for Americans and
American capital. The large re
serves of timber likewise present a
very attractive field for American
enterprise."
The war department hopes to be
able to submit pluns for legislation
to congress at the next session that
will result in closer relations be
tween the National Guard of the
states and the general government
and in more clearly defining the
status of the National Guard. At
present the status of the National
Guard is such that wheu a young
man enlists theruiu he can have no
c'mir understanding of what his
duties or responsibilities toward the
national government are, wlio win
Order Lim out iu time of war or
where he may bo ordered. It is by
no means an easy problem, but the
department hopes, with the co-operation
of the officers of the Nation
al Guard, to reach a srlntion that
will bo satisfactory enough to be
approved by congress. It is de
sired that tho National Guard shall
be an anxiliary of the regular army,
which can at once be put in the
field when there is necessity there
for, withont the delays which oc
curred at the beginning of the war
with Spain.
Officials of the department of
state deny that they have been in
formed by Mr. Montagu White,
Boer agent in the United States,
that Mr. Paul Krngrr, late Presi
dent o' the Transvaal republic,
would visit this country in October,
although Mr. White was quoted as
having said that ho was told at the
department that, the officials of this
government would meet Mr.
Kruger cordially as they would any
other foreign visitor, but that ho
would not be received officially.
An Important Suit.
"The Edgnwere clnh. of Pike
county, has a novel and important
suit on hand. This club has a large
holding of land on Silver Lake, near
Dingman's Ferry, and until recently
tho members supposed that none
questioned its right to a large por
tion of that, beautiful body of water.
A suit, however, has been brought
in the Pike county courts by a man
who claims to hold ownership ic tho
whole bottom of the lake by a patent
granted him. The suit is now on
trial. The outcome will he watched
with interest by clubs owning lnkes
or who suppose they own them and
are likely to have their own titles af
fectod. It is said that there has
never been a decision in this state on
this question."
The above, which is taken from
the Stroudsburg Titnen, will be news
indeed to people of this county. No
suit has been brought and so far as
we know none is in immediate con
templation. It is possible that a
question may arise as to the right to
patent about eighteen acres of the
lake, which quantity seems to have
been unpatented by the early pat
entees of the lands surrounding and
waters of Silver Lake, and this will
raise the question of the right to
patent water exclusively if the mat
ter is ever brought to a suit.

Shun Such Chance.
People having money to invest
would do well to investigate care
fully before placing it in auy of the
numerous schemes now being ex
tensively advertised such as oil
wells, gold, copper, silver and other
mining enterprises. Many circulars
are being sunt out setting forth the
advantages to be derived from in
vesting in the stock of these so-called
companies They are persuasive
and plausible and offer large in
ducements for making money rap
idly after the works are developed
aud the unwary nmv be deceived.
Keep out of them if you do not want
to be swindled.

A BIG TEAR FOR GOLF.
Champion, of tha Oimi to Play in
June.
Never before In the history of golf
has a season opened with such bright
prospects as am now in evidence.
The year 1901 promises to be a re
cord breaker along golfing lines In
more than one respect. Not only
are the manufacturers increasing
the amount and raising the standard
of their golf supply output, but a
large part of the general public hith
erto uninterested in the great Scotch
game has given golf its attention,
and directly resultant hare been
wholesale additions to the several
hundred golf clubs scattered about
the different states in the Union.
Three primary reasons are goner,
ally ascribed as the cause of this
golfward flocking tendency evinced
by so many persons. First has been
place 1 the value of tho exercise de
rived from the necessitated walking
and striking. Second cornea the
companionable nature of the game,
which endears it particularly to
those inclined toward sentiment.
The third Is the facility provided for
coming directly in contact with na
ture in all her freshness and glory.
The golfer is probably favored more
in this last respect than is the de
votee of any outdoor other sport.
A Great, Big, Hard Fact.
Not long since David B. Hill and
Grover Cleveland wrote letters to
one of the leading Democratic organ-
zations of Baltimore, which was
celebrating its birthday, giving their
views as to what was necessary to be
done to rostore Democratic) supre
macy. Mr. Cleveland as usual In
dulged in glittering generalities and
advised that the first thing to be
c'one must be to make the Demo
cratic party "truly, honestly and
consistently Democratic" Mr. Hill
went further and pointed out sev
eral important things Democracy
must be sure to do and do well, and
these important things were each
and every one of them a repudiation
of Democratic principles as laid
down by the' Chicago platform of
1890. Jt's sad, very sad that promi
nent Democratic leaders can see no
way to success except by a repudia
tion of Democracy as she has been
taught for several campaigns, but
it's a fact, a great big hard fact.

about 1200 volumes comprehending
standard works, history, poetry,
miscellany and works of fiction. It
is also intended that there shall be
a department especially intended
for young people to be known as the
juvenile department. Mr. Pinchot,
who has been in Milford this week
for a few days, preparatory to a
visit of several weeks in England,
will on his Yet urn in August, it is
said, complete his arrangements to
have the lihrary opened to the pub
lic. Severe forest fires prevailed a few
days ago up In the Rattlesnake re

over.

this week aud stocks, especially
Northern Pacific, went up with a

ruined, while others made fortunes

Note Against Dead Men.
Notes for large amounts against
men dying and leaving big estates
seem to be quite numerous recently.
Some years ago ono appeared
against Stephen Kistler of Strouds
burg for $25,000 which after inves
tigation was pronounced a forgery.
It was originally given for $250 and
after raised.
In 188S one was sent to an Easton
attorney against tho late Thos. M.
Mcllheny of Stroudsburg for $8,000
It was never paid.
In 1900 one appeared against
Henry Fulmer of Easton for $89,000,
It has not been , collected and last
April another for $75,000 against
the same person was sent to an
Easton attorney for collection.
One for $91,000 was recently sent
for collection against the estate of
John I. Blair, deceased. These
notes, the letters written, and en
velopes in which they were mailed
are all said to bear evidence that
they were sent by the same parties
and that a woman is connected with
them. There is a suspicion that the
one recently found against Abram
Ne6bitt of Kingston, Pa., may be
traced to tho same source as the
others. A peculiarity U that the
letters are mailed on trains so aa to
prevent the locating the senders
and lo none of the above cases has
the alleged holder appeared to sub
stantiate the note. Any one holding
a genuine claim for so large a sum
would very likely appear to enforce
It.
Modern Education.
A school teacher in Sheffield re
ceived the following from a com
plaining parent a few weeks ago
"Sir, Will you please for the future
give my boy sum easier somes to do
at nites. This is what he brought
hoam to or three nites back : 'If
fore gallins of here will fill thlrty-to
pint bottles, how meny pint and a
half bottles will nine-gallins fill?
Well, we tried, and could make
nothing of it at all ; and my boy
cried and sed he didn't dare go back
in the morning without doin' it. So
I had to go and buy a nino-gallin
cask ot here, which I could ill afford
to do, aud then we went and bor
rowed a lot of wine and brandy bot
ties, besides a few we had by us
Well we emptied the cask into the
bottles, and then counted them, and
there were 19, and my boy put the
number down for an answer.
don't know wether is it rite or not as
we spilt sum while doin' it. P. R
Please let the next some be in water
as I am not uble to buy any more
here.'" liunykok Weekly Mail.

iverly large.
According to the statement two
townships, Milford and Porter,
raised no poor tax, but tho rest of
the county was not so fortunate. I
do not know how many poor are
supported by the county, but by the
amount of tax raised, it either takes
considerable money per head or
there are quite a number of poor.
A new kind of horses was seen on
our streets the other day. Thev
resemblod razor backs.
The other day I heard this ques
tion discussed : Does the law of this
state compel a person not a resident
of the state to pay a license here
when he peddles and retails goods
of any kind not of his own raising
or manufacturing? Will the Editor
of the Prkss kindly inform no?

that all foreign dealers in merchan
dise and their agents, having no
