OHIO HARPlES.
Ben Butterworth and His Buckeye
Boosters
Calling on the President and Urging the
Claims of Ohio to Place
in the Cabinet.
.Snecinl Disnntch 10 The Relister,


WASHINGTON, March 29.-Before the vault
had closed over the remains OF the late
Postmaster General, at Woodland Gene
terry, this afternoon, and while the mourn
ing emblems still remain in the Capital,
delegation of Ohio men made haste to call
upon the President to urge the Importance
of having Cabinet representative from
that State. The committee consisted OF
Gen. Grosvenor, Briggs S. Cunningham
and W. P. Lippincott, and last of all came
Butterworth himself The President will
do nothing, however, until next week.
1t is needless to say that these gentle
men did not 90 to the President for the
purpose of urging the claims of Charley
Foster for the Postmaster Generalship.
Butterworth wants the place 80 badly that
he bushes when you mention 1t IN his
presence, and it takes good deal TO make
Ben blush. Approaching him l said, in a
playful manner: "How are you, Mr.. Post
master Gsneral?' His face came ap
quickly from the table, and gleam OF
pleasure sparkled from his eyes, as he an
swered, with an interrogation point,
Pretty well, but who is Postmaster Gen.
eral?" "Oh, you are, or should be, major.
Come, Tess up; how is it going?' He look
ed EN- barrassed as he stammeringly replied:
"Why, don't know anything about it. l
lam not-not putting myself forward
for the place"

Mrs. Msaksr Who Will be Hanged
To-day.
The First Woman Hanged in New England
Her Demeanor in Prison-lnter-
view Between the Mother
and Her Son.
SHE PROTESTS HER INNOCENCE

WINDSOR, VT, March 29.-Mrs. Meaker
who will be hanged tomorrow was calm
most of the day, but seems to appreciate
her helpless condition and is expected to
break down. She received letter from
Almon, her son, to-day, offering consola-
ton and urging her to confess, saying his
confession made him feel much better, and
it would be better for her in the next world
to make a clean breast Of the affair. He
said he would lay down his life TO save
her but that being impossible, he could
only offer her the satisfaction that
words can give, and expresses the hope
that they shall meet in the better land
beyond, where there is no sorrow, no sad
ness" He closes by saying he is trying 10
lead a Christian life, and trusting she will
be in readiness to meet her Lord Shortly
after the receipt of the letter Almon Wis
tied his mother in the cell in preseRce OF
the prison officials. They shook hands,
the mother showing slight excitement over
the letter. She claimed it was all false,
and that Almon's lies brought her to her
present position. She admitted she could
tell good story, but claimed justice should
be meted TO all. She said all the family
hated Alice. and had whipped her severely.
Almon asked her if she had not asked him
starye, She laughed, saying she never
Thought of such athing. During the inter
view, which lasted over an hour, she show
ed great resolution. She still maintains
her innocence, and says she is ready to
meet her Lord. She had an interview later
with the chaplain, when she was more un-
easy.

West Virginia Looming Up M nm OIL
Producing State-GeneraI News.

SDectut 10 me he0iSeT.
PARKERsBURG, March 2S.-The theory Of
Prof. Minshall, that the deep sand or oil
rock, as found in Pennsylvania, exists in
West Va, has been fully demonstrated in
this locality. In the oil district known as
Horse Neck the deep sand has been reached
at depth of 900 feet and have reached
depth OF % feet in the rock and still
drilling, with good show for oil and
plenty of gas. The company interested in
the we'll above mentioned have located four
other wells, and from the developments in
this one are assured that success will crown
their efforts. They have ample means to
give the territory a thorough test. 1t is the
opinion of those who are competent TO
judge, and who have made the subject q
thorough study, that West Virginia will
once more come TO the front and be
known as the finest oil territory in the
world, and in this respect the Switzerland
of America" is destined to become the
richest State in the Union. Pennsylvania is
on the wane and her territory limited, and
our State is the only place where there Is
an inexhaustible supply OF the oleaginous
fluid. Already the eyes OF many capital
lists are turned in this direction. and to all,
we have to say, we welcome you as enly
Nirginians can, to our midst. On the
waters OF Stillwell, in this county, a vein

PECULIAR VERDICT
Handed Down I'm the Libel SuIt OF the
Hifes Against wattersOn.


Ior.IsyILLE. March 29-The libel suit of
g. B. Hue and wife against the Courier
Journal for So, 600 after a nine days close
hsbt. was concluded in the Vice Chaucel,
lor's cour: a little before : o'clock yester-
day evening The verdict was a special
finding in favor of the defendant, as fol-
lows:
We find that the plaintiff, Mrs. Sarah f.
Hite. was in love with Jesse James; that a
liaison existed betgeen them; she deserted
her husband, intending to apply for di-
yorce from HIM she secretly cor
responded with young man in the neigh
borhood. The publication in the Courier
Journal that a reliable rumOr in plaintiff $
neighborhood said Mrs. Hite was in love
with Jesse James and his liaison with her
was the cause of the disatfeCtiOn among the
Hites and James and other members Of the
gang. was substantially true in all points
a. published. The publication was not
made through malice or with intent to
fniure or defame plaintiffs. Prior to the
date of the publication there were reliable
Tumors in the neighborhood of plaintiff res
idenCe affecting Mrs. Hite's character for
chastity and virtue. The publication was
made upon reliable information gathered
by q careful and prudentPerson from those
in poSition 10 know the facts. Mr.. Hite
had priOr 10 the publication himself given
circnlation TO the report that Jesse James
had been too intimate with his wife, and
that his wife had deserted him. Therefore
we fnd for the defendant.
The same parties have two other suits Of
n similar nature IN the courts, but these
will doub,l,ss be Withdrawn or non-suited.

FEMALE CLERKS.
Discrimination Against Them In the
Matter OF Promotions.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-There are but
few female clerks in any of the Depart
ments who hold positions which pay sala-
ries above 81 200 per anuum. The great
majority are of the 5000 or $1,000 class.
Should the Civil Service Commission
decide that they can compete with
male clerks, many of them are
confident of promotion. Somehow,
though there is no law on the subject pre-
venting it, female clerks, as a rule, have
not been favored with promotion, no mat
ter how much ability they evinCe. There
are a number of cases of young men being
appointed in departments who were trained
in their WORK by experienced female clerks:
While these women were not allowed
to secure promotion, the young men
who were instructed by them
have always had the ben
eft of promotion to vacancies that were
brought about by resignation, death or re.
moyals in grades above them. Several OF
the heads of bureaus of the Treasury and
Interior Departments, where the most fe'
males have places, have always been free
to acknowledge that in many kinds Of work
women perform it as good, and, in many
cases better than men.
