Success ola Washington
Journalist.

The following appears in regard
to the literary cuccesS of Mr.. j. w.
Vance, formerly Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial:
1t may not be exactly news from
the Capitol, but it certainly is cap
itol news to learn that our popular
friend, WI. Vance,so we'll known
as a newspaper correspondent, is
likely to srike big luck as com
poser of opera and plays for the
stage. Truly it is long lane that
has no elbow. Mr.. Vance has
been q very hopeful and industri-
Gus patron of the midnight oil for
the past two years, trying to
weave numerous productions out
of his brain. He turned out a
novel Of Washington life, and n
Christmas story for children, both
OF which were IN dch TO his credit
in sense, but financially not.
He has now in course of prepa-
ration two operas, he writing the
librettos and Prof. John Souse
composing the score. which will
be produced in New York within
the next month or so in full style,
with a leading cast, and at one of
the most prominent tbeaters of
the metropolis. Critics pronounce
them certain to prove success.
AT the Same time he was writ
ten drama on the order OF
Mackey, the well known actor,
which is said to possess great
power and numerous striking pas
sages. Mackey himself speaks in
the highest terms of the effort.

Of the evidences of her sincere devo-

l2tb) by making it the occasion of
the Grand Monthly Drawing of the
Louisiana State Lottery, when over
100000 in prizes will be distribut-
ed" This is certainly an unique
mode of doing honor to that distin-
guished patriot and orator. In every
State, we believe, except Louisiana,
and probably one more, lotteries are
condemned as among the lowest Or
der of swindling, and in this State
and many others, they are not only
under constitutional introduction,
but the sale of tickets from other
States is sternly prohibited.

no appropriation of any kind is made
in the law to provide the necessary
apparatus and chemicals for that
purpose. We understand that SEN
ator Faulkner, at the recent session
of the legislature, endeavorsd to get
a specific appropriation Of $500 to
supply what was needed at the Uni
versity to enable the professor there
to perform his duty as required un-
der the law, but failed. This is to
be regretted. The legislature, Of
course, knew what they were doing
when they passed the law, now the
means should be furnished
to make it operative and effective.

Death of Old Abe, the War
Eagle.

"Old Abe" the historic war
eagle, carried throughout the en-
tire war by the Eight Wisconsin
Volunteer Infantry, died on Sat-
urday night at the capitol in Mad
ison. This bird was presented TO
the reg iment when it was organ
lied, in 1861, at Camp Randall,
Madison, Wisconsin,. 1t was car
ried at the head of the regiment
throughout the war, never receiv-
Jog a ,ratch. At the close OF the
war it was presented to the state,
and occupied a room in the base
ment of the Capitol. and received
the best OF care Old Abe has
been a great attraction at many
of the great fairs throughout the
country, and for four monts was
at the Centennial Exhibition.
The Governor and all the state
officials viewed the remains Of the
gallant old bird, after h was laid
out in state.

in session until noon June End. Each
Sunday School in the State is enti-
tied to one delegate, and we hope
thst this opportunity to help for
ward this vital interest, will not be
neglected by any school that can
possibly be represented. Certainly
every county should send delegates.
1t is intended to furnish free enter
tainment to those who will attend.
Railroad and steamboat lines will be
asked for favors, and we hope will
grant them. All persons who in
tend to come to this meeting will
please send their names to Dave d.

tee, Parkersburg. A programme of
exercises will be published in good

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES IN

We are pleased to learn that our

recommendation of the Berkeley
County Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Association, has passed a law
vesting in the county courts full au-

animal that may spread fatal conta-

such stock will of course have the
right to look to the State for COM

The Iowa Fasting Women.

Miss Hattie Denel, who has now
been fasting for thirty-two days at
Iowa City, Iowa, seems determin-
ed TO continue until death relieves
her from the srsligious delusion
that she believes has made it her
duty TO abstain from food. She has
been an invalid for a number of
years but seven months since
she rallied, and regaining an APP
petite, ate heartily, but would not
talk, writing on slate that it
hurt her head to speak, and she
believed II a religious duty TO keep
silent. For six months ste gain
ed in strength, and then inform
ing her friends that God had de-
sired her to fast, she refused food,
and ever since has subsisted on
water alone, which, until recent
ly, she drank warm. Ter friends,
who see her slowly wasting away,
have used all the means in their
power to persuade her to take
nourishment. They have tempt.
ed her by placing food within her
reach so that she could eat unno.
ticed, but although so exhausted
as TO be unable 20 move or write

If to indicate that she expects soon
to die. She will probably exceed
DIR. Tanners celebrated forty
days fast. Her brother-in-IaW,
DR.. Aylesworth, and other physi-
clans are in attendance upon her,
and are greatly distressed at their
inability to put an end to her fast.
The case battles them, and has ex-
cited great curiosity-the people
being curious to see woman of
such indomitable will as to exist
three years without speaking a
word, and more than month
without food.

Extraordinary Death of "a
Young Girl,

The family Of John j. Rail, liv-
ing near Keokuk, Iowa, were
thrown into intense excitement
one evening last week at the sud-
den death of their only daughter,
Miss Minnie Rail, only sixteen
years old. She was i'm the parior
with Charles Gray, to whom she
was engaged, ana he was urging
her to name the day for there
marriage. She was coy and bash
ful, and hesitated, but finally said
she would marry him in April. In
the excitement and JOY of the mo-
ment Mr.. Gray threw his arms
around her waist ard drew her to
him with IA quick, passionate en-
brace. He was not conscious of
exerting unusual strength, and
does not believe that he did. But
the girl gave short, sharp scream,
aud exclaiming 40! Cnarley,s Pm
gone!' fell dead in his arms, her
head resting on his shoulder.
His frantic cries alarmed the fam
lily, who came rushing into the
room to find the pltiful sight of
the dead girl lying pale and IMAM
innate in her lovers arms. Medi-
Cal aid was sumnOud but life was
extinct, and her death is attributed
to heart disease, to which she had
long been sufferer. Naturally
frail and delicate, the excitement
caused by the interview with her
lover brought on the attack that
led to her premature death. She
was very handsome, great fa-
vorite in society circles, and her
fate is lamented by all who knew
her. Young Gray is almost over
whelmed with grief and horror
at the sudden wreck or his hap
pinesS.'
