oeen addressed to the Ladies Com
mittee of the Oyster Supper given by
the Y. NJ. C. A.:
CHARLEsTowN, w. VA, /
March 5th, 1885.
1frs. Frank GallaAer, President La
dies COmntittee:
ESTEEMED FRIEND-We have been
appointed to express to the committee
the appreciation of the Association
for the kind offices rendered in con-
nection with the Supper.
We feel that simple resolution of
thanks would seem cold and formal
considering the great services you
rendered us.
Could we have undertaken to out
line our wishes in regard to the ar
engagements, we should have found
that you had more than anticipated
our every wish. The menu was
complete, the display attractive and
inviting, calling forth hattering ex-
pressions of approval from the pa
irons.
We felt in the appointment of the
committee that success was assured,
and the result fully confirmed this
confidence.
Harrassed by financial difficulties
that at the time seemed too great for
us to solve, your timely aid has dis
persed the clouds that darkened our
sky and we feel that words but family
convey our feelings of obligation and
gratitude.
What can we say other than-the
ladies, God bless them.
Yours gratefully,
A. D. BARR,
FRANK MUssELMAN,

SymDathy for Maxwell


New YORK, Sept. "a special
from St. Louis says: John l.
Martin, the attorney for Maxwell,
the alleged murderer of Preller,
says the lawyers all over the coun.
try are deeply interested in the
Maxwell case. Today he received
a letter from New York, yesterday
one from San Francisco but al
ways from prominent jurists, Civ
ing him their views upon the case.
Not infrequently they furnish him
with valuable legal ADVICE, pointing
out devices by which he can battle
or befog the prosecution. From
what Martin says. it is apparent
that the interest of the whole bar
of the United States has been
awakened: and the sympathy of a
large majority Of the legal fratern-
ity is enlisted on the side of Max
we'll. This may prove good thing
for the prisoner, as in this way he
will have the benefit of the best
legal advice to be obtained IN the
United States.

RAILROAD FREIGHT RE.
DUCTION,
New Schedule Rates in Favor OF
Nevada and Utah

New Schedule Rates in Favor OF
| Nevada and Utah.
The Southern Pacific Company,
| which now manages the affairs of
the Central Pacific Railroad, has
made a material reduction in rates
on freight between San Francisco
and Stockton, California, and points
in Nevada and Utah. On some
articles "a reduction Of nearly one
half has been made, while on very
many articles the rates have been
reduced one-third or more, COM
mencing with the present month.
The reduction, says the Silver
State, like all others that have been
made in railroad rates in Nevada,
was the voluntary act Of the COM
pany.. No Legislative body, State
or National, has ever reduced
transportation rates in the State.
though in Almost every campaign
since the railroad was built, dema-
gogues have endeavored to get into
Office by promising in platforms
and on the stump what they would
do in that direction if elected. The
statutes show, however, that rail-
roads in Nevada are authorized to
charge ten cents a mile for passen-
gers, and twenty cents per ton per
mile for freight, so that the people
are under no obligations whatever
to the statesmen" who make our
laws for any reduction in fares or
freight in fact the corporations
are much more liberal than the law
makers, as in no instance do they
charge over one-half what the law
allows them, while in vary many
cases they do not charge one-tenth
the amount authorized by law; all
of which prove that the people
must look to the railroad companies
and not to the LEGISLATURE, to regu-
late fares and freights. Silver

leased on q Technically.
/ There was a curious and sa
scene in the Police Court yester
day, as Sutherland and Beckstea
the two youngsters charged wit
stealing Kate Castleton's necklace
were brought up on preliminar.
examination.
The mother and sister of Beck
stead we're present, and when tn
charge was made by the Distric
Attorney, Mrs. Beckstead burst in
to a torrent of tears and faintet
away.
Attorney Bartine appeared fol
the defense, and insisted upon the
law which provided that anyone
| charged with crime should be con.
fronted by his accusers.
District Attorney Torreyson, in
replying admitted that this techni.
cality would hold good, as it was
impossible to secure the presence
of Kate Castleton, the owner Of che
necklace.
The State failed to prove that the
collar and locket belonged to Kate
Castleton on Thursday the day Of
the performance, and also failed to
prove that the property was taken
from the dressing room of the Car
son Opera House. This fact could
not be established without the tes-
timony of Kate Castleton.
The boys had made a confession
to the officers, but a promise had
been made them, to the effect that
if they confessed the officers would
not press them hard, or something
Of that kind.
A confession made through any
promise or intimation of reward,
however slight, cannot be used,
and the law SO lays down.
Mr.. Torreyson said that it was
impossible to secure the attendance
of the principal witness and moved
the dismissal Of the case. The
Court then dismissed the case and
released the defendants.
As soon as the announcement
was made, the mother and sisters
of the Beckstead boy surrounded
him, sobbing bitterly, and then
rushed forward to Historically
thank Mr.. Bartine. The Court
room was crowded, and many
stayed to witness the strange scene.
Beekstead was much affected, but
the Sutherland boy sauntered off
quite indifferently. 1t is thought
that their narrow escape will be
quite valuable lesson to them.

a AOnUOn TIO1lOr anu HIS DTOtncr.
While William Stead at the age
of forty has risen to the editorship
of the Pail Mall Gazette, his brother
who possessed equal ability, sleeps
in a nameiess grave in the little
town of Clayton, Ala. 1t was in
1872 that Stead made his ap-
pearance in Clayton. He was a
tramp, but gave evidence of having
seen better days. Penniless and
friendles, he gladly accepted odd
jobs, and soon went to work as a
landscape gardner. To Professor
johnson, when a teacher in Clayton
Stead confded the story of his life.
1t was the old tale of drink and the
train Of evils following it. Rum had
robbed him of family, fortune and
friends, and made him a vagabond
upon the face of the earth. Again
the demon seized him, and this
time death put an end to his strug-
giles and temptations. Prs
fessor johnson wrote to the great
London editor informing him of
his brothers sad fate, and in due
time reply came acknowledging
the relationship and giving the his
tory of brilliant but uncontrol-
able man. The prosperous editor
begged the Professor to commuhi-
cate anything Of pleasant nature
he might know about the >outcast.
but not to write any unpleasant

FOR LADIES ONLY.
Something Which the Fair Sex
Ought to Know

SoOAsAOSAAAAA6 " SAkC u sAsA eSS<
| Ought to Know.
The APPEAL reporter, while il
yesterday, got hold Of some
extremely valuable information re
garding the secrets of shopping.
A lady came in to purchase some
| dry goods, and she tried to beat
| the clerk down on everything, and
succeeded. She was. an airish
brazen woman, who actually in
sisted that the clerk was dishonest,
and that she was too sharp for any
body to hoodwink. She criticized
everything and turned her thin
nose up at it. She finally COM
pleted her purchases, and soon
afterwards quiet little lady en-
tered and purchased some material
of the same piece. When the
clerk announced the price, she
bowed in acknowledgement, said it
was satisfactory, paid her money
smilingly, and went out without
any of the brazen impudence and
fuss and feathers Of the other.
What struck the scribe as odd,
was the fact that, the quiet little
woman who asked for no reduction
of price, got her goods cheaper than
the other. The clerk explained
the matter:
"You see, there is a class of
women who always want to beat
down the rate. Well VIC soon be-
gin to know these people. and never
fail to give them a big price and
let them beat US down, They al
ways enjoy it better if they go
away thinking they have bested
somebody. But you bet your sweet
life we never give them anything
but high price. They pay dearly
for all their foolishness and airs.
All the stores know Mrs. -,
and she always gets a deal. Mrs
. always insinuates that we are
thieves, and that she won't stand
but about 20 per cent off
cost, and she pays about double
price.
1t costs money to insult clerks
and question their honesty, but the
quiet little lady who just went out,
is different. She never tries to
beat us down cent, never runs
down the goods, never makes i'll
bred insinuations, and she gets
things about as near cost as we can
put them and make a reasonable
profit. I had rather sell at cost
than to miss her at our counter.
She is we'll bred enough to be po-
lite to clerks, and we meet her
half way with low-priced goods.
There are a good many female
beats in this city but they are all
spotted and they can't one of them
,oyer up their general gait with fine
clothes and jewelry. The spot
,ash people who purchase what
hey want and don't palaver over it
Ill day get the best bargains"
