Young Rockeieller Wuk l,o?ul Ing rilii?in?? Comniand. A strange and terrihle story, hnrd ly 8iirpas?ed in tbe imagination of writers of tiction, has cotne to light in partial explanation of the disappear ance of Major Charlep M. ltockefeller, of the famotis Xiuth Unitcd SLites Infantry. In a woru, hc disappcared from the aruiy afier killing his cnly son, who waalcadinga Filipiuocomuiaud The son had been stolen from I113 hoine in infancy by a Chinese tinrse, and after long yttig uf search Major ltockefeller niade the terrible discov ery that the Filipino ofllcer was the nian for whoni he was searching. The 8tory, as told in substance by the Arwij and Navtj Journal, follows: CharleB M. ltockefeller served with distinction in one of the New York volijnteer regimenta during the Civil War. Ib 18G3 he waa uiade firet lieutcnant in the One Hundred and Seventy-eighth New York Infantry. It was whiie second licutenant that bc married, and in 1870 i boy, named ttobert was born. The major was detailed to Hongkot.g with a commission, and thpre bc ipinained imtii L879> The Chinese nurse en gaged to look after the boy disap petred witli him. Heroh fU made high and low for the kidnnpper and theobiid, but no tracc conld be found ? >f them, it<>ekefeller and his wife retarned to tbiscouutry, where Mrs. ix-'ckift'lhr di-d, inonrning the loss of the little ooe. Maj. ltockefeller never relinqnish cd the search for his child. In the ycara that elapscd he got no trace of him, yet he stitl hoped againat hope of one day meeting him. He never told his trouble to any of hie brother oflicers and thns it was that few in the IS'inth Kegiment knew of his marriage. The Kinth Kegiment waa ope of the lirst to be sent to the 1'hilippines. One day in the month of March, last ycar, he with his comniand met at a place north of Sau Beoir a strong force of the enemy, led by a big, 8trapping, handsome youug man, apparently au Englishman. The Filipiuos fonght liercely and con tinued thefighting until mostof them were killed or wounded. According to the ollicial dispatches of the time, the young Filipino leaJer made des perate efforts to get at Major ltocke? feller with evident intention of kill? ing him. He did succeed in slayiug two of the Mujor's orderliea and in another moment wonld have killed ltockefeller. Then the latter, notan instant too soon, shot the young lead er dead. "When the dead werebeiug buried and the wounded cared for," says the Army aml Navy Journal, "among papers found on the young insurgent were letters of recommendation is sued to I'aul Stanhope and written by well-known Hongkong oflicials. Also a diary giving the names of in dividuala in the Chinese city. These were all turned into hcadquarters by the Major with his report." Then happened the extraordinary thing which army circles have been discussing ever since?thedisappear auce of the Major in sight of the enemy and no word of explanation. Letters had been forwarded to him, as well as to the Ninth liegiment men generally. Among thenumber which he received was one from the Ameri ican consul at Hongkong, incloaing the original letter which he had re? ceived from the head of the Jesuit institntion to whom he had written for information of the Major's kid napped son. Paul Stauhope, the adopted son of Henry Stanhope, Hongkong, the young Filipino leader whom the Major had killed, was his own and only son, the one for whom he had been searching all theae weary years. Whether or not the thought drove him mad is a matter of conjecture. Certain it is that he disappeared that very night?walked through the lines and refused to stop when halted. General Otia spread the mantle of charity over the Major's disappear ance in his report to the War Office. This is the oflicial announcement made by the War Department: "A report from General Otis gives the details of the disappearance of Major Charles M. Rockefeller. "The pickets say they were first made aware of Major ltockefeller's presence by hearing the cry of 'p;cket' repeated several times. Cor poral Ross hailed the caller, and, on discovering the identity, offered to escort him to the next outpost, which offer was decliued. Major ltockefel? ler started off, and soon after the picketsagain heard the cry of 'picket.' Corporal Itoss told the officer that he was going in the wrong direction and to turn more to the right. This was the last seen of Major ltockefeller, as he failed to report to his com? niand. "The next day searching parties found pieces of paper bearing his name one and a half niiles from where he was last seen and heard. Since then au ofticer answering the description of Major ltockefeller has been seen as a prisoner of the Fili pinos south of Manila." General Otis says, in commenting on the ease, that oa the dav previous to the disappearance of Major liocke feller the Xinth Infautry made a forced march, and that probably be was so affccted by the heat that he wandered into the Ftlipiuo line. Anotherthoory advanced is that he may haie been picked up by a recon noitering party. From that time until the present nothing haa been NN or heard of Major Kockefeller. Following the usuai ctistom, he was dropped ao a deaerter. Now the fctory ia out thut he is iti Honduras, a broken down old man. He has, it is aaid, thrown aside the soldier'a garb forever. IC'omnoimUatedJ A S\I> COMMKNTARY ON COUNTY AND STATEWOVERNMFNT. Kihtor Citizen: When a mere boy I ueed to read a good deal of the organized bands of outlaws and highway robbers, stich as Jesae James, and I mqst confess that I used to admiro their daring deeds a great deal, but ou the other hatul wondered why men such aa they were not canght and brought to jus tice inore freqnently in a land where the laws wcre so stringent against theni. | ?oi}ld not aee how a man brought up in thia country coukl hate his fellow-man and be desirous of obtaining by robbery and murder the hard earnin^a of othera, when ways were pleutiful to makca decent hving and not be burdened with th? greai fear of detection which niuat nece88arily be in the mind of every law-breaker, for tbe way of the trane gressor is ever hard. If all reports be true there is an organization in I*inca6ter cour.ty now that beats all the highway robberies ou record; it i? the orgauiaed band of men who sell whiskey in detiance of the county and of the State. We nnderstand if they want to sell liquor they get a Unitcd States Interuai lieveuue licensewiih the understand ing that if one should get caught tbey all chip in and pay the liltle line impottd upon theni by the kind hearted couuty ofliciala. What a ahauie and insult to county aud State goverument! Why, the very fact of a man gcttiii-r ? I'nited States ttoataM in a local option couuty shows that he intends to sell liquor aud by that actauya "l am afraid to tackle the LTnited btatea' lawa but oare not a whit for the laws and ofliciala of Lancaster county. By such actiona they vii tually say to the county olli cers, who iu their oaths of oflice have sworn to puniah all law-breakcra, "I am not afraid of you and I dare you to trouble me." To a stranger not knowing the atate of afiaira here it makes a bad ahowing for the couuty and the people in it. it shows some thing wrong somewhere. But the blanie is not all on the man who sells the stuff, for there are othera who are parttea to the organization aud they are the partios who buy it and by so doing helpand encourage the wrong, for if they have whiskey for sale they can't aell without customera, ao the man who buya io nearly as bad as the man who dispenses the vile stuff. And they not only disobey the laws for they know that wheu they go in these places that there is dtshonesty there and they make up their minds to lie if askcd abont it, and by so doing further injure their moral characters. Now who is the most guilty, the man whoaellaor the man who buya? Sonie of the buyers will awear to a lie to protect the man who is breaking the law but getting some compensation iu dollars and cent8 for ao doing, while the man who buy8 it not only breaks the law but is robbing his fatnily of the inouey he paysfor itwith andsending his own soul to hell, so not one cent compensaLiou and not even the thacksof Ihc speak'easy man does the buyer leceive. Now, ia not the whole ilock tarred with the same atick, ora8 the old saying is "birds of a feather lloek together." I would not truatoue furtber than 1 would the other. Quit your meaunesa; be men, law abiding citizens, and don't make jiourselves luw-brcukeis and thus be ahunned by honest people, besides casting a retlection 0:1 the good name of the county ofliciala by yonrs and their disregard of their duty. Eanoaster Man. (L'omniunleatod.) A'MAY" WANTSTUCOBRESPOMI. J)ear Editor?I am an interested reader of the Citizen but seldom at tempt to write for your columns. I am of a different opinion from ' Lying Elick," aa I think the Boers are justifiable iu their war and am sorry they were not victorious. Every Americau ahould be in aympathy with the liberty-loving Boers. The N. A'. Xeics statea that there are thirtyeight widow8from Kinaale to Mt Ilolly, a distance, I judge, of about twenty mile8.

One of the diffeiences betweeu the man aud the rnonkey is in the mau's ability and occasional willingness to considerof his owu death. Yet a very large proportion ol us *hun the thoughtand force ourselvcs back to the level of the animals by refusal to remember an inevitable fact which should uot be terrible, and is not to niinds properly trained. The one thing we may certainly know of our future in this life is that we musi prcsently die; and that one thing moat of us try diligently to forget. Pespite our reluctance, most of us mii8tthink sometiroes. ?'Lord, teach me to know mine end and the num ber of my daya that I may be certi fied how long I have to live." The stately words roll aolenmly from chancel and choir above the coflhi lidsbeneath which lie those who have learned, and eijpreaa w.q old yeaming of vhe heart. They oome to us through the thousanda of yearg iu tervening sinoe thoy flrst gave form to the univera*! and ever unanswered prayer, acrose the graves of the un numbered millions who have lived and died before us. There has a> way? beeu the belief, shared ahke by the massive Hebrew worshipping the One God, and by llomer, the Greek, half believing in manv, that some where there is exact knowledge of the end aud the time of each <>f thaf from the rnomeui or tlie draw ing of the ftrst breath the hour and nioraeut of the exbai.ition of the last is precisely determined by inexorable decision. Therefore the prayer has goneout continuallyinto tbeuiy8teiy aud the darkuew, The awful aileuce has oontinued through the ages un broken. No pasaion of pleading has brought an answer. As the time has come the stroke has fallen surely, and the lives have leaped out anJ ranished bcyond the dur?ne*s aixl mystery and silencefrom which none r? turn and no whiapor nor faint ic.!iu of aound nor gleam of light MMfc When achild diea there is depriva lion aud compensation. We know more of death than of life. The promises and the assuranees of all the All Wise and All Powerful and the Uufailing l'ower are to be so ful(ilkd that we may understaud the fultill ment only beyoud the gravc. So when the ohild die8 we feel that we know ita future as we could not know if it had lived. We know that it has avoided the unbappinesa and heartaches, the miseriea and dangcra that come to the humau lives most carefully guardedand /.ealously cared for. We know, too, that aside from the stinging pain of loss left in our hearts, much of happiness has been missed because to every young, atrong life there comes happiness of many kinds. When the old man dies we may say and try to feel that it is well. Strength has gone and the com panions and frieudships and associa tions of his youth have gone?but yet, his life was at its ripeat, he was just nearing thefullnessof his koow ledge, the work of his life was just beginning to accumulate about him and bear fruit. So we let our tears fall over the white heads and worn aud peaceful faccs of the old as we do upon the shining hair and emooth cheeks of the children called away. Aud if any new-born child could by special power be given the right to choose when it should die, with knowledge of what was to be in the common human life, what and what time would it choose? Let any of us who have come some way along the road imagine ourselves newly come with the knowledge we have, how would we choose? Sup pose each of us at time of birth was given superuatural understanding of life as it is and permitted to select the time for ending the life new giveu? How would we choose? Childhood or youth with all the power and the strength and happi? ness and passion and splendid strength of life but barely tasted? The summer aud fruitful time of life when strength is at its atrongest atfd realization of hopes and pur poses in sight? The autumn time when the 8heaves of the work of our lives are gathering thick about us and yet there is work to be done with thewinterand the frost coniing fast? The wiuter time, when there is yet work to be done, but we have merely begun to nnderstand life and ourselves and to be snug and com fortable and at rest? When would we have it? Sup pose we had the naming and placing of the time, could we decide? We could uot; for life is always sweet and always bitter, and each season and stage of it has its owu sweetnes8 and bitterness. Each step of it is trod in uncertainty, in hoping and fearing. If we had the nnmbering of our own days we would not number wi8ely. If we were given the power to choose the time of our own end ings we would be baffled by ourselves in choosing. We would linger and linger. Happily for us, we have not the power or the right to say for our selveeorfor others. We must all dit, as we are appointed to die. It is ourpart to be ready. That is all of our part. A Power apart from oura and beyond our nadmlilidiug d cides for each of us when the must come. We know that time must come, and that is all we know of it. The day of ihe month, the month of the year, the seaso* of life are hiJdeu from us. All we can do is to be always ready to tneet it when it comes to ourselve3 or those close tousaaan inevitable fact, as an inevi tuble and right eonso<iuence of life as the sure working of nature or condi tiDiii?, as merely t lie changing from one 6tate of life to another.?/i\V7/ ntond Xeics.

Being a Tale or Two Roads and Two Men, But Which Misrht Apply Eqiially as well in the Newspaper or anyOther Line. A certain man built a road, and set up a toll gate. But, not aatisfied with collecting enough money for a fair profit, he lixed his toll rates at more than double what was mees aary. For many years the traveh-rs over this road paid tribute to him, and many complaints reached the ears of that mar\ DO t be bau his htart, saying: ?Mj road it the only road tb p ople oan ?!-. will ? ? naon< v l pleaee." A: ieogth anothet mau said: "l wili build i d wiil charge oolf wiiat is right;*ad be did. Many naee weiit oter his road, and he grew strougerevery day. After a time thv tirbt man saw the number of travelers on his road growing lees, and he aaid: "l wi!l publish ubroad the old nt will stopevery traveler on theothei BUUk'l road, and tell him 1 will let him travel my road for the sar.io price he would baee to paj tbq otbex n.an.'' Some travelers luarkened to his voice, saying to themselves: "This mau hath robbed us in the paet, but now lvpcnteth. Thi3 road is new. We will go by the old way, .,.; now it costs no more." And the man whenever he succecd ed in tuniing back a traveler on the new road, laughed in his tkere, say? ing: "Thou fool! tliou knoweat not my repcntanee rs feigtud. As soon as I getall the travelers back, 1 shall agaiu oharge what I piease."
