Special Correspondence Of ne Sunday Register.
CLARKsBURG, June 2.-Clarksburg is
now lighted by electricity. The company

success.
1t is reported that the store of Lee G..
Sheets, of Lost Creek, this county, was
burglarizsd one day this week, by an IN
known person, supposed TO have been 8

valuable contents taken thorefrom. The
burglars also took with them two fine
horses belonging to Mr.. Sheets. No arrests
have been made.

Among the entertainments deserving spe-

in the department under the management
of Miss Lizzie Bowcoek, one Of the most
accomplished teachers in the school. Miss
Belle DavissOn's pupils, as usual, carried
off many of the flowers.
It is to be regretted that the Board OF
Education for the Clarksburg Independent
District refused an award of the Peabody
medal. 1t was great disappointment to
both teachers and pupils.

II men who laugh at bustles knew
Their own most strange resemblance TO
Those works OF art they would refrain
From poking fun at them again.
For instance, bustles, Ike a man,
Run after women all they can
And get the sack while both to rise
Take lots Of daily papers wise.
OF course they both blackslide from grace
And find II hard TO keep their place,
Unless the woman, nothing 10th,
Sits down with dignity both,
When crushed and feeling rather fat,
They each keep straight along amer that.
A hustle viii, unlike man,
Stick up for women all IL can:
Yet. like a man, IL will, alaek.
Prove very false-behind her back.
To women, men and bustles cling
Fen when she has them iona string,u
And though shook of they'll hang around
Until q new attachments found.
Both back woman up, we know,
And in the fashion like 10 grow.

His thread OF life's as easy snapped;

Man makes hustle where be can.
But bustles meyer make man.

HOW TO LIVE LONG.

A new secret of longevity has been
brought to the front by DR.. FELIX l.. Os-
wALD, who is an authority on hygienic
subjects.
The doctor disregards the time honored
theories, and boldly takes the position that
heat is not the vital principle. He recon-
mends the constant exercise of the vocal
organs and gives it a. his opinion that din
ner, the principle meal of the day, should
be eaten at the end of the days work. The
doctor then goes on to say:
There seems no doubt that the proper
ton of octogenarians in given number Of
inhabitants is q times larger in southern
Araby than in southern Germany AUSTRIA
and, aside from dietic differences, that fact
has suggested a rather curious explanation.
In 1884, a citizen of Linz, on the upper
Danube, died from the effects Of an exter
nal injury at the age Of 109 years. Ga his
last day in the city hospital he informed
the attending physician that he had never
known sickness during the last sixty years
of his long life, and unhesitatingly sscribed
his constant health to his habit Of taking
q daily walk an hour after sunset, in all
but the coolest weather. On frosty winter
evenings he eontented himself with sitting
awhile in the draught of an open porch
till he felt that the air had cooled him
down for good nights rest" That latter
phrase set his biogrsphers a-thinking and
recalled the theories of two other patri-
archs who aScribed their length of years,
the one to daily nap, the other 10 frequent
draughts of cold water.
After qotiug q number of analogous
cases the author arrives at the conclusion
that the rationale of those specifics was
neither the exercise Of the walk nor the
moisture of the bath and beverage, bat
simply refrigeration.
After discussing the matter at further
length, our author says:
IL is certainly suggestive fact that the
first October frosts put an end to the
ravages of number Of contagious dis
eases, and that the infant mortality o!
our big cities rises and sinks with the
fluctuations of the thermometer. 1t has
been ascertained that pulmonary con-
sumption can be cured in the frosty heights
of the Adrondacks far more easily than
in the sweltering lowlands Of the tropics,
and that, not December, but July, is par
excellence, the suicide month. Cold air
checks the progress of decay, and thus
facilitates the preservation of countless
organic substances, meat, fruit, eggs, etc,
etc can life be preserved in the same
way? Is refrigeration the chief secret of
longevity?
All this is is highly interesting, but is
there any truth in il? This is the import
ant question. The fact remains that many
of the oldest people in the world have
disregsrded all the rules laid down by DR..
OSWALD. 1t is difficult to settle the ques-
ton. In fact it is very doubtful if it ever
can be settled.

itol to-day did not make q dozen altogether.
Senator Allison gave a special hearing to Rep

They had it all by themselves, without inter-

bride and freckled-face groom appeared in the
echo hall to whisper sweet things, like Pyramus
and Thisbe, through the medium Of . stone
wall. By force of habit. Mr.. E. B. Taylor and
Mr.. Culberson appeared in the House at their
usual early hour, but both made an unusually
early departure. The man who used to sell
the democratic campaign book sat among the
empty seats, with his occupation gone.

Messrs. Randall and Ryan, of the House SUBJ
committee having the sundry civil appropriation

Solicitor-General jerks and some other de-
partment officials before them. The fortifica-

SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES, WHO HAVE GONE
HOME FOR THE HoLIDAYs.
A number Of Senators have gone to their
homes to enjoy with their families and friends
the Christmas season. Among those who left
the city last night and to-day are Senators
Berry, Chace, Colquitt, Dawes, Salisbury,
Daniel, Harris, Mcpherson, Frye, Plat, Riddle
berger, Farwell, Faulkner, Wilson, of Mary
land, and Gray. Senators Evarts and Kenna
start for home this evening. Senator Beck,
who thinks a southern trip will aid him in his
struggle for health, leaves the city tomorrow
for Aiken. 5. c., where he will probably stay
for two or three weeks.
OF members of the House there are fully $50
who have either gone away or are going to-
night. Mr.. Reed is the only candidate for the
speakership who has ventured to leave the
city.
Representative Forney, of Alabama, who has
been i'll at his residence in this city for some
time past, has so far recovered his health as to
be able to be out again. He took advantage OF
the beautiful weather to-day and paid visit to

Richard Mansfleld's Views on the Move
ment to Exclude Foreigner.
Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING srAR
LONDON, Dec. 22.-Curiously enough, neither
the Era nor the Stage, the two trade organs of
the profession, make any comment ON the
question Of the exclusion Of English actors from
America. Nevertheless the excitement among
the actors here is intense, and everybody is be-
ing interviewed Mansfield, who migrated
from the Lyceum last night to make room for
the Irving rehearsals of Macbeth" and trans
fers his company to the Globe, where he will
continue the performance Of "Prince Karl, }"
says the affair looks like piece Of petty jeal-
ousy, quite unworthy Of his compatriots. He
does not believe Booth has had anything to do
with it, as he is altogether too great a man and
actor, and he thinks Booths partner, Barrett,
is the responsible party. He is surprised at
Manager Palmer's joining the combination. for
it is against his own interest, as he has engaged
many English actors, anil doubtless will con-
tinue to do 30. The whole cause of the dis
turbance is the fact that an English actor in
the leading theaters is man well born and
well educated, who respects his art and himself
and moves in good society. Old American
managers find it to their advantage to engage
young English actors, especially as they de-
mand a smaller salary. Mansfield declined to
say that he thought the English actor better
and cheaper than the American, but explained
that in America, as in France,
THE STANDING OF THE ACTOR
is less high than in England. Until the American
stage is recruited from the ranks Of men well
born and well educated the American actor
will, he thinks, have to compete with English
importations. If the American public does
not want English actors it has the remedy in
its own hands. The American public want the
very best to be got in art as in everything else,
and if American actors attempt to dictate to
them they will not stand il. Actors act not for
one place only, but for the whole world. Mr..
Overton, Mr.. Palmer's London agent, has since
contra6cted the report that Mr.. Palmer has
joined the movement.
