A ROMANTIC STORY.

The romantic vicissitudes of the early
life of the Countess Solange de Kramer
have once more become the talk OF the
Paris saloons. and they are, indeed so eN-
traordinary that, used as lnateria,s 1or
novel, they would spoil the book by the
lack of verismiItude. One night i'll 1901
IL little girl about one year old was q
posted in the drawer of the toundllnS
hospital at Brest. She was dressed with
much tinery, and 4 note attached to her
skirts, told that her name was SolanSe,
and that she would be reclaimed by hcr
tnther. The claim was never made, how
ever, and in due time the child was trans
ferred to the orphah asylum, TO be cdu-
| Gated there. AS she grew up she uevel-
oped q most extraordinary beauty, but
her intellect appeared to be very weak,
and she suffered from frequent nerv 'us
fits When she was twelve years oit she
| was sent out into the streets to sell How
crs. and her beauty and modesty attract
| ed many peoples good will. but she grew
| weaker and walker, and at last she uled.
According to French custom she was
buried in an opc.. casllet, and, us 1t was
Winter and the ground wa, frozen, she
was laid III the grave and only covered

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.

Our citizens are at this time moro gener-
ally alive to the importance of having at
command adequate means of protection
against FIRE, than ever before. and the mat
ter of making provision for the supply of
such means, from present appearances, will
be made the leading question in the corpora
ton election next spring. The town charter
allows the corporation to make bonded
debt of twenty thousand dollars-ten thou.
sand by the Council.a alone, and ten thousand
additional by vote of the people. The first
ten thousand-or rather, little less. has
been incurred, aud the investment is paying
its own interest. The second ten thousand,
it is the sense of q large number of our
heaviest Taxpayers, and We believe a vast
msjnrity, should be invested, as y matter OF
prime Importance, in securing means of pre-
lection against fre-water works. steam FIRE
engine, reservoirs, or whatever may be fourd
most advisable; and with either sufficient
quantity of good hose to render the wster
available. Such is the feeling of the people
ofCharestowp now and We hope will continue
to be until something practicable aud eff
cient is done. OF this subject We shall have
more to say hereafter. and in the meantime
invite short, terse communications from our
citizens in regard to it.

PAGE COUNTY SUBSCRIPTION TO
SHEN. VALLEY E. r.

Acting under the advice of legal counsel,
the Board of Supervisors of Page county, al,
its meeting on Friday, the 18th ult., made
the following order in reference to the al
legged subscription of $500, 600 of that county
to the Shenandoah Valley Railroad COM
pauy:
Ordered. That the Attorney for the Common
wealth for Psce. be, and he is hereby dirocted
ley Railroad aud the contractors in the county
of Page that IL thew persist in constructing said
road fnr"aS ugh sa'o eo92ty, they DO 80 at Their
obligation TO pay and will refuse to pay tho
1000 subscribed by it to tho capital stock of
said Railroad aud take snch other aud further
action III tho premises as may be necessary for
fhe protection of said county"
It may be very bold thing for man to
cay that he will not redeem his solemn obi
ton to pay. but We believe all well>thinkipg
people will concur in the opinion that it lie
not very honcst. Municipal bodies, such as
the Board of Supervisors of Page county. are
governed By tho same rule. In the order
which thoy have published to the world and
which We have given above, it is admitted
that the county of Psge subscribed" $780,
600 "to the capital stock of the said Rail-
road"-meaning the Shenandoah Valley
Rairosd-but it is very coolly announced
that if the said company and its contractors
IN the county of Page persist in construct,
ing said road through the said county
, language which imports that the company is
about to iraict irreparable injury upon the
people of Page-''that the county does not
recognize its obligation to pay aud will re-
fuse to pay" the aforementioned subscrip>
ton. No reason is assigned for this repu-
diation of the contract of subscription the
people of Page have made with the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad Company. We are
only permitted to know that "acting under
the advice CT legal counsel, the Board of
Supervisors of Page county, at it's meeting
on friday, tho 14:h instant" made the order
which we have quoted above. IF the Board
Of Supervisors of Page county, without the
grace of even an attempt TO explain their
conduct. expect to escape the disgrace that
does, aud; always should, attach to the viola
ton OF plShted- faith. whether that violation
be by individuals or communities, they have
greatly mistakened, in our OPINION. tho tenn
per and morals of the people of to-day who
will ST. 10 judgment upon their conduct.
Indeed, we sincerely hope, as We have
reason to believe, that the action of the
Board of Supervisors of Pass county is in
antagonism with tho interests of its people
If this be true-and We trust that it is-,hey
shall make haste, in some unmistakable man
ner, to disavow the act Of their servants,
lest, BIZ their silence they shall be supposed
to acqaiesce in. an official utterance which,
unless dsciaimed. will inevitably bring dis
honor upon them.

MR.. HENDRICKS POSITION.

a correspondent Of the Cincinnati Eaqui.
rer, who met Hon. Thomas a. Hendricks in
Indianapolis last week, called his attention
to regent statement in the Washington Star
that prominent Indianian had said that he
(iendricks) had denounced Mr. Tilden in
tho bitterest terms. Mr.. Hendricks ia re-
ported as saying: II have never denounced
Mr. Tilden, nor have I censured him even.
! did not attempt to advise Mr.. Tilden as to
his course after tho election in 1873. He
decided his course without suggestions from
me. aud have no doubt he thought he was
doing that which would result best for the
country. As to myself. I have always
thought it fortunate for me that did not E Il
the Vice Presidential Office. did not want
it, because it would not add to the honors l
have had conferred upon me by my country
men, aud in financial way I think my pro-
fession quito as profitable"
Mr.. Hendricks further said: ST do not
ask nomination as a matter Of vindication
When party elects a man to an Office it
vindicates him, if such thing is necessary
in politics. IF he does not or cannot assume
the Office afterwsrd. that is another matter.
AT least it is so in my case. IF l ask any
thing of my countrymen it will be upon my
merits. shall support any man whom my
party will nominate. have no exclusive
claim on any nomination. The people, not
aspirauts. are the judges in such matters. I
regard Indiana as Democratic State. and
would be disappointed il any nominee of the
party should fail to carry it. At any rate he
would receive all the assistance I could give
him %
