A GENTLEMAN who came up from

lie said that only few OF them were
visible and all had pretty feet.
THE pedestrian mania seems to have

THE oldest inhabitant" now predicts
an early fall, giving as a reason that
robins, meadow larks and swallows are
hocking fully month earlier than usual,
preparatory to their migratory flights.
The present weather appears to sustain
the old residents theory, for more
chilling and disagreeable ram is seldom
experienced in August.
NEWSPAPER men are not, as a rule, the
most Cody class of professionals and
our surprise may be imagined when
Doyle, of the Steubenville Herald, drop
ped in on us last evening and grayely
announced that he was planning a
church excursion. He was accOmpa-
MED by Harry Undertake, and as they

were arched in a particularly pious seq
ment. Mirabiis d,ctI
THIS weather is not altogether becom-
| ing to August, scarcely. The sun does
not throw away such heat that dogs
lose their wOnted sagacity and 60 mad.
The canine that would have been mad
dened by heat yesterday must have been
a little out of balance previously. Has
November suddenly stepped from its
place in the calendar and usurped the
functions OF August? We don't cry for
heated weather, but it is too soon for
winter, and our printers can't redeem
their overcOats until after the Felsing-
Weisgerber race.
WHEN YOU see a man, bundled up
warmly, marching along between two
others and apparently walking against
time, don't imagine he's an escaped
lunatic or a captured prisoner. No, he's
only training for boat race. III you
could see him when that walk is over,
YOU would notice that he is being
rubbed down with coarse towels. He
is fed on plain diet and lives like clock
work. Trainers nowadays do not be-
lieve i'm the plan of Ouida's "Seraph,"
who took his crew "dOwn to White
halls and fed 'em on venisOn and
champagne three times a week and gave
'em arms that might be models for stat

TIE Iron Valley wreck has been
hauled close in to the Virginia shore,
where the explosion occurred, the ma
chinery all taken out, and the hull
abandoned. Everything belonging to
the boat has been recovered, except one
large syphon pump, which of course
can do no damage To passing boats, and
the channel cleared of all distractions.
The most remarkable thing about this
explosion is, that the inspectors plugs
in the boilers have all
been recovered and fonnd intact,
showing at once that the
accident was not the result Of an over
pressure of steam. Just what effect a
lack of water in the boilers would pro-
duce on these plugs, we are not advised.
The fact that one of the boilers was
blown into small fragments, some of
them not larger than mans hand,
would idicate that the iron was very
brittle and totally unfit for the purpose
for which it was used. No doubt the
inspectors decision, when made public,
will throw some light on the subject
