S n e a k T h i e v e s In T r a i t o n .

Thieves entered the barn of Chester Bush who resides on West hill, Truxton, during Saturday night, Dec. 23 , and carried off six fine bronze turkeys, one string of sleigh bells and about twenty-five buahelB of oats . Mr. Buah informed a STANDARD man tha t he was pretty well satisfied in his mind as to who the bold night prowlers are.

Spell It Puerto Bl« o.

Hereafter when one has occasion to write the name of oue of Uncle Sam'B new possession he should write it Puerto Rico Instead of Porto Rico. The official npelling has been passed upon by the na­tional board of geograpical names. I t is the native manner and adopted on that account,

Mr. and Mrs- Alexander Van Marter of 0*1 Pendteton-st., celebrated the fiftieth anniverary of their marriage at their home last night in a unique but most pleasing manner. Mrs. Van Marter has not been very well for a little time and it did not seem wise for them t o have even a family gathering on this occasian. But to their utter surprise in the privacy and quiet of their pleasant livingroom, on either side of the table whereby tbe evening lamp seated in their, comfortable rocking chairs Mr. Van Marter w i th bis paper and Mrs. Van Marter wi th her work have been accus­tomed for years to spend their evenings, there they last night received the greet­ings and remembrances of over a hundred of their friends and relatives. The idea was a most novel one and for its concep­tion and execution tbe credit is due t o their next neighbor and warm friend, Mrs. M. K. Harris.

During the afternoon Rev. Amos Wat-kins called t o express his good wishes, Mrs. Van Master being a member of the Episcopal church. Just a t dusk Dr. O. A. Houghton, pastor of tbe First M. E. church, Jof which Mr. Van Master is a member, called for a like purpose and left with them a little box to be opened in the evening. When they opened i t they found upwards of a hundred hand­somely illuminated cards fastened to­gether wi th a lavander ribbon. At first glance it looked like an immense calendar. But closer examination disclosed the fact that each card contained a message or a sentiment or a good wish from some friend near ,or remote In distance, t o whom the cards had been sent for the pur­pose. They had all been returned t o Mrs. Harris, w h o had fastened them together with the ribbons. It took them a long time t o g o through thesecards, and mem­ories of former days were brought very vividly d o w n to the present time as they saw the familiar handwriting and the well-known names, some of w h o m had not been heard from in years. A member of the family had supplied the list t o Mrs. Harris for the purpose and t o all she had written and enclosed a card explaining her plan and asking for a message.

Then they "examined further into the contents of the box and found another package of card* similarly fastened to­gether and all these were attached t o a handsome seal puree bearing an nscripion in gold letters. The cards bore the name of many of Mr. Van Marter'H associates in the w o o d shop a t the Cortland Wagon Co., where that gentleman is employed, and the puree contained a very considerable sum of money all in gold which came from tbe men whose names were on the cards. The box a l so contained more gold coin and other tokens of friendship and love. Mr. and Mrs. Van Marter were quite com­pletely overcome by this unxepected token of remembrance from so many, and the latter declared that she didn't sleep a wink all that night as a result.

There were also letters in the box from friends in New York, Watkins, Sterling, KaB., Kfl lawog, Auburn, Lake Ridge, Groton, Virgil, Ludlowville, Aurora and Buffalo.

Mr. VanMarter Is 72 years old and Mrs. VanMarter 67. They were married in Virgil, Cortland county, Mrs. Van Marter'H maiden name being Sarah Elizabeth Overton, and went a t once t o housekeeping In Aurora, Cayuga county. That was their home for twenty-five years; afterward they lived in Lake Ridge five years, LudlowviUe eight years and Cortland twelve years. They have four children: Mrs. Davis of Lake Ridge, Fred and Smith Van Marter of Cortland and Miss Mary Van Marter of Cortland.

Mr. and Mrs. Van Marter wish t o ex­press their thanks to all their friends and neighbors who so kindly remem­bered tbem on this the occasion of their golden wedding.

F a c cnt and fac-slm'« sig­nature of Dr. A. W, Chane on every »><»» of the genuine, 50 centf, all druggists.

I t 1B surprising t o us that people with clear mathematical heads and excellent common sense on most subjects get mud­dled on the question of the century in which we live. There are not many who do so, but still a. few are yet believing that we have entered upon the first year of the twentieth century Instead of upon tbe last year of the twentieth century. The adherents of the nineteenth century theory make their error through a be­lief that we reckon years and centuries as we do the years of a person's age, counting elapsed or completed time only, as for instance when a child has reached (he first anniversary of his birth he is said to be one year old. And they claim that when we reached the beginning of the year 1900 the world w a s 1900 years from the Christian era.

And there they make their mistake, for time is reckoned on a different basis. According t o our present system of reck­oning we note every century, every year, every month and every day by the cen­tury, year, month or day in which w e are now living, not by the century, year, month or day which "is completed and past and we date all our letters and offi­cial documents accordingly. The Quaker system of writing dates which bas been tdopted by business men generally for the sake of brevity is the simplest. A man living five minutes after the birth of Christ f he had been enabled t o write his

dates as w e write tbem now (put-lng iaside^tbe difference of some four

years in time which has been found to exist between the actual t ime of tbe birth of Christ and the arbitrary date of bis birth as fixed by the Julian calendar) vvoulrt have written i t 1:1:, meaning the iiret year, the first month and the first day of the month. If he had written it upon a basis of completed time accord­ing to the theory of the twentieth cen­tury adheijerrts he must have written! it ):0:0—no year complete, no month com­plete, no day complete.

I t would probably be generally con­ceded by all that a person wishing t o date aletter on the Christmas day t h a t has just passed would have written it In this style, as 1899:12:25. But this would be altogether inconsistent with the theory of those w h o claim that 1899 represents completed time only, for there should certainly be a consistency between the way of counting years and that >f counting months and days. They must have written it to be consistent with their completed year theory as ' 1899:11:24, meaning L899, completed at the expiration of tbe last preceding year, 1 1 months completed a t tbe expiration of the last preceding month, twenty-four days com­pleted at tbe expiration of the last pre­ceding day. According t o the theory of these twentieth century people we can never date a' letter or a document in the day or month or year in which we live, but a lways date It for the year, month or day last completed The man who takes care of his notes at the bank on this plan will be likely to find his protest fees accumulating. That theory is utterly ridiculous, misleading and contrary t o the actual facts in the case. We say a child is In his first year till he is 1 year old, and then he Is in his second year till he is 2 years old. We reckon time wholly by the year, month and day in which we live. We are now In tbe 1900th year, the first month and the third day, and when we shall have completed the 81st day of the 12th month of this year we shall have com­pleted the 1900th year and the nine­teenth century and not till then.

The New York Sun has been looking up some authorities on the subject which It quoted In its issue of Dec. 2 5 , 1 8 9 9 , as follows:

"A century," says Meyer's Encyclo­pedia "is 100 completed years, as the century after ChrlBt's birth." We will reproduce w h a t is said in addition by this authority concerning the conflict now upon net

"The question whether a new century begins with January, 1900 or 1901 has been discussed repeatedly. About the year 1700 it was so vigorous that medals, were coined with the satirical inscription, 'Listen to a Miracle.' In the year 1700 the people didn't know bow did %m$ were! The possibility of con­fusion comes from the question. DIJ our chronology begin with the yeav 0 or the year 1? But chronology makes the year 1 of tbe Christian Kra succeed the yea* 1 before Christ without Interruption, without the year 0. Consequently, from the chronologrcai standpoint, Jan. 1, 1901, iw the New YMf'p fio$ of the new esntwry '*

We will quote now frr'Ui the Century

dictionary:! "The first century of tbe Christian Kra

began w i t h theyear A. D. l a n d ex tended, to the end jot the year 100. The elgh-, teenth^ centujW began with 1701 and! ended with! T800, tbe year completing thjr hubdre|l-year period in each instance -giving name t o tbe century."

Tbe Standard dictionary is still more K

explicit. | "lu common usage the first century

raeanH tbe year A. D. to 100. The nine* teenth centaury A. D. 1801 t o 1900 . TV century begins with tbe beginning of t 4 * first day in i ts year, and does not end tpf " the close of the last day In its hundred years. *Thls mode of reckoning is often confusid with the common mode of stat­ing tbe a g e of a person. A person born ' dt tbe beginning of the Christian year' would be called 1 year old during bis second year—that is, during the course of tbe year 2 ." >ni

We have before us also a copy of tbe Almanac de Uotha "for the year 1900 , UBH| the.last year of the century."

In La Petite Revue of Montreal we find, in a discussion by the French as­tronomer, (pamllle Flammarion, the per­tinent evidence , of the French Revolu­tion: ' .< ••

"Whateverthe date selected for the Christian Era, there was no year 0. The first year;of tbe first century w a s the year li.to'e tenth yenr 10, and the hun­dredth year the year 100. When the revolution created a new calendar, i t adopted the same method, never imag­ined a year 0, and called Its first yc«c theyear 1.";..

Those who reckon that we are now in the twentieth century are out of their bearings/
