THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
TIip speech of Secretary Jnmcs Wil
son deliverd tit Dysart, Iowa, on Sat
urday is of special significance from
the fuel tlml before leaving for Iowh
tin? secretary luul two lone confer
ences with tlie president mid received
from iiiin special suggestions about
handling Hie subjects of protection
mid reciprocity. His utterances may,
therefore, be regarded as coming di
rectly from the White House. Speak
ing of reciprocity Secretary Wilson
said: "It whs never entertained ns
nn expedient by which tradecould be
extended to ti e advantage of some
of our Industries at the expense of
others. It would have had scant
welcome in any republican conven
tion had it been proclaimed as a
measure by which new industries
thot gave promise of supplying the
home demand should be sacrificed to
the interests of strong industries that
had long enjoyed the partiality of
the American people." Speaking of
imports he said: "When, within a
few years, we keep at home half of
the $120,000,0(1(1 now paid for agri
cultural products our home markets
will have been strengthened more
than all the extension that can In
secured outside of our jurisdiction.
The growth of our country in so many
directions justifies the conclusion that
we are developing towards a condi
tion of completeness as a world's
national unit. Half of our purchases
from foreign countries can be pro
duced within the states of the Union
and, since our expansion into so
much territory south of the twentieth
parallel of mirth latitude it will be
entirely practicable within the lives
of children now at school to produce
the other half in those islands under
our own flag." From these utter
ances it seems sofe to conclude thut
the president does not anticipate any
important reciprocity legislation in
the near firture.
As I predicted in a former letter
the president is deeply interested in
the proposed irrigation of the arid
lands of the west, lie sent for Col.
Elwood Mead, the expert on the sub
ject in the department of agriculture,
Thursday and had a long talk on the
subject, instructing Colonel Mead to
prepare and hand to him data on the
subject. Colonel Mead tells me that
the president's experience with irri
gation on his Montana ranch and his
knowledge of the ranch business leads
him to believe that If the supply of
cattle, known ns feeders, is to be kept
up and our very extensive cattle ex
ports are to be maintained some
method of making the arid lands
available for pasture mid the grow
ing of forage must be found and that
irrigation presents the only solution
to the problem.
l)emocratic predictions of a split
between Senator I'latt and the presi
dent have, as was to be expected,
failed to materialize. The official
announcement of the appointment of
Mr. George N. Whitehead to be ap
praiser of the port of New York has
been given out at the treasury. This
Is la accordance with the wishes of
the New York senator and witii the
recommendation of the secretary of
the treasury. When Secretary Gage
first recommended Mr. Whitehead,
Senator I'latt did not particularly
favor the appointment but a more
careful examination of the situation
led him, after his return to New
York, to write the president endors
ing the selection. Mr. Whitehead
"covered himself with glory" some
five years ago, when he was sent as
special agent to inspect the New
York office, then under Mr. Wake
man's direction. Mr. Whitehead
made numerous recommendations
for improvements in the manage
ment that ought to be made, and all
of them have since been adopted, al
though some of them met for a time
the strong opposition of Mr. Wake
inau. For the past three years Mr.
Whitehead has been collector of cus
toms for Porto Kico.
It is reported that the entire British
cabinet has now given it assent to
the treaty regarding the isthmian
canal, which Ixrd Puuncefute is
bringing to this country. The treaty
is so favorable to American wishes
that it w ill be ratified immediately
and itn ratification promptly followed
by a bill providing for the construc
tion of the canal. It is ijuite possible
that within a year work will begin.
The new treaty is a source of much
gratification to the administration,
not only because it has brought to a
close a lengthy and delicate diplo
matic negotiation, but because it is
rirded fts recognizing in Its pro-
visions the equity of the Monroe
doctrine. With the doctrine receiv
ing such practical recognition from
Great Itritalu continental railing
may continue on paper but they are
hardly likely to go farther.
Secretary (iage has resumed the
purchase of Unite! Slates bonds of
the issues of 1MW-HI18, of 1901 and of
1JMI7. The secretary speaking of his
course said: "My reason for making
the offer at this time is that I find
from today's (October 81st) treasury
statement that we took in In cash
this month $!l,:tOI,)r2 more than we
paid out and for this single day the ex
cess of receipts over expenditures was
$1,081,111. The circulation of the
country could not long stand this
drain without being seriously
affected."
All recent reports from the Philip
pines indicate satisfactory progress.
The troops whose terms will expire
during the next year will be brought
home and no new regiments will lie
sent to fill their places. Secretary
Hoot has issued new orders to the
Taft commission and hereafter the
proceedings of that body will be eon-
ducted along the lines of procedure
followed by the senate. All appro
priations will be made in the form of
bills by the commission in the com
mittee of the whole and then acted
on by the committee in open session,
liy this means the secretary believes
he will guard against extravagance
and at the same time give the Filip
inos an excellent object lesson in
self-government. The officers on
duty in the Philippines say that
small coilflicts with sporadic bands
which are wandering about the is
lands and are really little more than
brigands are to be expected but that
there is not now nor is there likely
to be an armed force of any magni
tude in the field.
One of the troubles which the ma
chine politicians are having with
President Koosevelt is that he posi
tively refuses to be buttonholed In
corners. The other day a republi
can senator tried tills plan of getting
a private audience with the presi
dent and stated his case, as he
thought, very nicely in a confiden
tial undertone. Presently everybody
in that room and the next heard Mr.
Roosevelt announce in that (stentor
ian voice of his: "It is no use Sena
tor, I will not appoint a man of that
character If lie has you and your dele
gation and the whole state behind
him." The Senator will not try
this plan again.

a Fourth of July dinner in
At
Shanghai, Chinn, the English Con
sul toasted the B.-itish flag. Ho
said : "Hera is to the Union Jack
the flag of flags, the flag that has
floated on every continent and
every sea for a thousand years, the
flag on which the sun never sots."
It was a strong sentiment, and
the Americans were a little over-
awed until Eli Perkins was called to
toast the Stars and Stripes. Look
iupr into the proud faces of tiie
Englishmen he said : "Here is to tbe
Stars nnd Stripes of the new repub

her star in Alaska, the rising sun
salutes her on tho rock-bound cont

The Modem Menageriv,
It is gratifying to note the ad
vance which has lieen tnado in the
housing and care of animals In men
ageries during the last twenty-five
or thirty years. Mont of us can re
member when the average animal
in a "wild beast show" was doomed
to lead a miserable life of confine
ment in a small cage; and sometimes
the attendants knew how the animals
should be fed and cared for, and
sometimes they did not.
In most large city menageries this
has been changed. The Zoological
Park at Washington is almost an
ideal place for such a collection of
animals. In the first place, it
large. The park covers a tract of
ground sufficiently diversified in
character to give each ajiioi.U a place
suited to its habits, with room for a
commodious house or kennel and a
large yard. The bears have their
rocky caves; tho buffalo own a sec
tion of a considerable hill; the monk
eys, parrots and other tropical ani
mals are housed in a building big
enough to permit good ventilation;
and the raccoons have a large, dead,
hollow tree with many branches all
to themselves. There is a large
creek where the-elephnnts can be led
down to bathe nnd while the place is
near enough to the city to be easily
accessible, it is not near enough to be
the daily resort of mere curiosity-
seekers, who might find their chief
pleasure in tormenting the animals.
The result ot all this is that the
collection does not have to be con
stantly recruited by fresh importa
tions. The animals have a longer
lease of existence and some of them
even breed In captivity, a thing al
most unknown In the old menagerie
days. The improved condition of
things is a good economic measure
as well as a benefit to the animals
themselves.
OBITUARY
MRS. NATHAN nOUCK.
LaAnna, wife of Nathan Houck,
died at her home in Greene town
ship Sunday, Oct. 27, aged 84 years.
Her maiden name was Deitz and her
birthplace Berks county, this state.
In 1847 she with her husband came
to reside in Monroe county and in
1855 they removed to Greene where
they have sinoe lived. She had
been confined to her bed for some
time and the end was not unexpect
ed. Her long residence secured a
wide acquaintanceship which, added
to her kindly ways, won the respect
and esteem of a large oircle of
frionds who with many relatives
will join the bereaved family in
their grief over the death of the
aged friend and mother. Besides
her aged husband, who is In feeble
hoalth, she is survived by four
daughters, Elizabeth, wife of Dr. F.
Gilpin, Amanda, wife of Emery Gil
pin, Carrie, wife or Dr, A. J. Si
nions, and Emma, wife of B. F.
Nicholson. Two sons Charles and
Hon. John D., associate jndge of
this county, also survive. Tho
funeral was held Thursday, Oct. 31,
and , interment In South Sterling
cemetery.
Vocalion Recital.
A new vocalion has been placed
in the Presbyterian church and this
Friday evening a recital will be
given (to enable the congregation to
Judge of IU capacity. Geo. H. Ry
der of New York, an organist of
skill, will preside at the keys. E.
P. Crissman and others will sing
and thus a rare musical treat will
be afforded. The vocation is a com
paratively new instrument and is
intended to take the place of pipe
organs. They are easier to keep in
tune and repair and, volume and
other points considered, cheaper
than the organs.
Spreads Like Wildfire.
When things are "the best" they
become "the best selling." Abraham
Hare, a leadiug druggist of Bello
ville, O., writes : "Eleotrio Bitters
are the best selling bitters I have
handled in 20 years." You know
why? Most disease begin in dis
orders of stomach, liver, kidneys,
bowels, blood and nerves. Electric
Bitters tones op the stomach, regu
lates liver, kidneys and bowels, pur
ifies the blood, strengthens tho
nerves, hence cures multitudes of
maladies. It builds np the entire
system. Puts new life and vigor
into any weak, sickly, run down
man or woman. Price 50 cents.

At the meeting of the town ooun

Barckloy tendered his resignation ns

and Milton Armstrong was appoint
ed in his place.
Edward 8. Stokes, who shot Jas,
Fisk January 6, 1872, on the stair
way of n Broadway hotel in New
York and who served a term of four
years iu the penitentiary therefor,
died last Saturday of a complication
of diseases after an illness of over
two years.
llio illustrated lecture in the
oonrt house last. Friday evening by
Rev. J. Van Buren of Porto Rico
was well attended and was of mud
interest as giving a very excellent
idea of the island, its homes, its
people, their customs, products,
government, its resources and reve
nues.
Dr. Louis de Plasse, who spends
considerable time in this section and
wno nns recently nunc a summer
cottage near here, expresses a long
ing to retire from practice in New
York nnd take up a permanent resi
denoe with us. He certainly would
be a welcome addition to our com
munity.
We have new official digests of
game laws both of this state and
New Jersey and anyone desiring
may inspect them by calling
Evoryone should be fully informed
of the laws and then if all will obey
them game will soon be more plen
tiful than now and there will be 1.0
trouble.
it is reported mat gunners go
from this and New York state over
in New Jersey and carry back the
game they kill. The law against
axing game ont oi mat state is
stringent and so long as these
sportsmen are not caught they may
feel happy, but suppose they are
how about the $20 penalty?
The Ladies Aid socioty of the
Presbyterian church resumed the
socials which were so popular last
winter by holding the first one for
this season last Tuesday evening,
The attendance wis good and no
doubt they will be well sustained as
is proper. These gatherings are
beneficial in bringing tho congrega
tion together for pleasant social in
tercourse and they also add to the
church revenues.
Hunting Privileges. -C.
W. Bull, Esq., was grantor re
cently in a record breaking instru
ment which conveyed 34 acres of
land to 175 persons, non-resident
members of tho Blooming Grove
Park association, for a consideration
of $34, or les9 than 20 cents each.
There have been a number of deeds
of a similar character and for a sim
ilar purpose placed on record within
the past month, proving how easy,
it is to evade the intent of the law
relating to non-residents not own
ers of lands. No doubt these con
veyance protect their holders in
hunting in this state but the legis
lature probably never thought of
this manner of circumventing the
act.
Financially a Failure.
The many who enjoyed the sights
of the Pan-American exposition at
Buffalo the pant season and who
were perhaps benefitted education
ally by what they saw may be in.
terested to learn that it was a finan
cial failure. The stockholders who
put in $2,500,000 will receive noth
ing back. Contractors who built
the buildings will lose $1,000,000,
and the $500,000 second mortgage
bonds will be defaulted as well
as 20 of the first mortgage bonds.
The total loss will be over $4,000,000.
Great Luck of An Editor.
"For two years nil efforts to cure
Eczema in the palms of my hands
failed," writes Editor H. N. Lester
of Syracuse, Kan., "then I was
wholly cured by Bucklen'a Arnica

It ought to be a diamond of the

the National Museum was unable to
procure a diamond of the size of

The Settlement of Shohola Falls.
Levi Lord of Lord's Valley was
in town this week and in a conver.
sation stated that his father, who
settled in this county in 1819, recol
looted seeing a saw and grist mill
which stood on the Shohoia Falls
property and which were said to
have been erected prior to the revo-
utionary war. Has any one hiator-
cal information of this or knowl
edge of the builders, owners or early
settlers there? Such matters would
be of interest for few probably are
aware of these ancient buildings nr
have an idea that there was a set
tlement at that place at so early a
period.
Astounding Discovery.
From Coopersville, Mich., comes
word of a wonderful discovery of a
pleasant tasting liquid that when
used before retiring by any one
troubled with a bad cough always
ensures a good night's rest, "It
will soon cure the cough, too,"
writes Mrs. S. Himolburger, "for
three generations of our family have
used Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption and never 'found Its
equal for Coughs and Colds." It's
an unrivaled life-saver when used
for desperate lung diseases. Guar

Several residents have asked me
the question, Is it legal to bring
game ont cf the state of New Jer
sey? I answer, No. For reliable
information I refer yoa to section
26 of tho fish and game laws of New
Jersey for 1901, which reads as fol
lows :
"It shall be unlawful to remove
or to attempt to remove from this
state any quail, ruffed grouse, pin
nated grouse, woodoock, hare, squir
rel, English pheasant or ring-neck
ed pheasant ; provided, however,
that this section shall not apply to
common carriers carrying from be
yond the confines of this state in
unbroken packages to some point
beyond the confines of this state,
such quail, ruffed grouse, pinnated
grouse, woodcock, hare, squirrel or
pheasant ; any person guilty of any
violation of this section shall be lia

The Deer Law.
Were the laws regarding tho run
ning of deer with dogs and the num
ber permitted to be killed by one
person in a seaoon strictly observed
this county would soon be a park
filled with those beautiful creatures
and there would be little difficulty
in almost any person going out and
securing one. There are some per
sons, we are informed, who persist
in running deer with dogs. They
are known and are being watched
and some fine day the trouble they
are brewing for themselves may ap
pear and pinch them with a flue and
costs. There is no more reason
why the game laws should be vio
lated than the law against horse
stealing.
