And now tho New York Tribune an
nounces that the true solution Of the
egg problem is q, although the strict
arithmetical answer would be 49," The
question, is which is right, "the true
solution" or the "strict arithmOtical
answer"
Appended to its statement that the
true solution is 81, itpublishes the fol.
lowing note from correspondent:
During the past week there has been
little done in this office to any advant.
age-there are ninety-siS employes-and
unless this question is settled, this COM
many will have to suspend business en-
tireiy, and the next result will be n lun-
attic asylum required. Some say seven
eggs will be the result OF the laboS of
these various hens in the time specified /;
others say forty-two, others twenty-four,
others twenty-eight, so We arc all ut sea.
For Heavens sake help us out, and let
us know the true answer.

would certainly have gone Republican.
On the basis Of the message the State is
safe for the Democracy.
Let us see about that. West Virginia
has been tending to Republicanism more
and more for several years past. There
was, for instance, Democratic majority
in 1870 OF lS,751. In 1850 this majority
was reduced to 1l,14s. In 1884 it was
still further reduced, to 1921. In 1886
II was yet further reduced, to 905.
This showing justifes the opinion OF
Eustace that the State is tending rapidly
towards Republicanism, but it affords no
basis whatever for his prophecy that the
message will operate to check and re-
verse this tendency. On the contrary,
such a prophecy only illustrates Eustace's
propOnsity:to say something sentimental
At the expense Of his judgment. 1t indi-
Gates the very reverse of what he pro
phesles for this year. 1t indicates that
West Virginia is progressing on tariff
and educational lines to the true faith in
politics. 1t indicates that in spite Of the
old prejudices of the war, the people,
despairing of prosperity at the hands Of
those whom their prejudices against the
@BloOdy shirt installed in power in
1871, arc looking elsewhere for that
great desideratum, and that for the sake
Of that particular thing which they do
admire in the Republican creed, the
protection OF home industry, they are
willing to play quits on by gone issues
and join hands with the great industrial
party OF the country with the view Of
promoting their material interests.
On no other theory can the rapidly
diminishing strength Of the Democratic
party in West Virginia be accounted for,
and hence Mr.. Gibson has utterly failed
to take sensible view OF the logical re-
suits Of the Presidents message.

AVERAGE PRICE ron THE YEARS NAMED.
% 5l.O 800 os $3.50
Horses have increased in number and
value in the past year, and have been
unusually free from epidemic disease.
Feeding cattle have decreased in num-
Der, owing to the low price of beef pre-
vailing and railroad discrimination. In
many cases cows have taken their place.
The enforcement Of the oleomargarine
law, and the erection Of number OF
creameries in the State, have made bet
ter markets, and, consequently, given
encouragement to the farmer to pay more
attention to the products OF the dairy.
This has brought about the erection Of a
number OF silos, which enable farmers
to secure proper feed the year round, in.
stead Of buying expensive mill feed, oil
meal, etc.
There has been decrease in the num-
Der OF sheep in the western portion of
the State, while in the eastern part there
Inns been u large increase. There are
more flock-masters now than heretofore,
owing to the increased number of small
flocks Extremely large ones being an
exception), which gives the sheep better
care and attention and increases their
value,

Piebelan Occupations in England.
Yes,Yak Sdr. L NssNEr ~ -
OF professions in England only four
are really first rate, viz: The church,
tho bar, thearmy and the navy. Medi.
cine and surgery are socially second rate,
In England young men who are techni.
cally gentlemen seldom become doc
tors. But because the FIRST four Yoca-
tons named are regarded Us peculiarly
suited 10 gentlemen, II must mot be in
ferred that they are mainly recruited
from the aristocracy. Numerically speak
ing, we should haYo TO relegate the great
majority OF Anglican clergymen, OF the
members Of the bar, Of officers OF the
navy and (since the abolition Of the pur-
chase OF commissioner OF the army also
TO the lower middle rather than the up
per middle class.
Look for instance, at the curates, at
the mob Of barristers, to say nothing Of
solicitors (who almost always belong to
the class first mentioned, and between
whom and the barristers yawns broad
social gulf, and at the officers in most
regiments OF the infantry and cavalry Of
the line. The artillery and the en-
gineers were always in England drawn
from a lower social medium, as they
were in France also under the dncial
rsgiH.e-a fact with which the graduates
Of West Point are not always familiar.

OF the MacCollin Opera Company,
which is to be at the Wheeling Opera
House all Of next week, and to open in
the "Musketeers," the Richmond Dis
patch says:
The dMusketeers" is one OF the most
melodic and entertaining comic operas
on the stage, and Richmond amusement
goers have enjoyed the Boston Ideals
frequent rendition OF it. Last night it
was presented by another company for
the first time in this city. The MacCol-
lin troupe may not have rs attractive
star singers as the Ideals had when they
were at their best, but in some respects
it gave q more attractive performance
than the familiar Boston favorites. The
MacCollin troupe is made up Of fine act
ing, good.looking artists, and the second
act OF the "AIusketeers"-the convent
scene-as played by this company can
not be eQualled.

THAT TAX DEFICIT.
What is Said by mayor PenIey and
Bank Director.

LEWISTON, Jan. 20.-Mayor Penley, of
Auburn, today said in regard to the tax de-
felt case reported yesterday 1--WE under
stand that the administrators of the estate
interested in this matter are to be in town
today, one of them being out of the city. 1t
is understood by us that the bank stock
owned by the estate should have paid tax OF
about 1915, but the amount of the stock which
has not paid the tax, believe, is not the
same for each year, Last year it Is under
stood to have been S2S,000: other years it
was something less Technically, suppose
the tax, not having been assessed, cannot be
collected except the $500 for the present
year, which could now be specially assessed.
but it is clear that the amount due the city is
what the tax what would have been had the
returns been made according to law. l
doubt not the estate will pay what is really
DUE"
One of the directors of the bank alluded to
in this matter says: "As far as it concerns
myself as director of the First National
Bank of Lewiston, / may say that there is no
implication of the bank officials, or anything
like it. As far as / understand it, Mr.. Tenn
pleton, the cashier, has made his returns all
straight and right. The matter not only was
never before the board of the First National
Bank previous to the transpiring of this af-
fair, but it has not been since, and | never
heard any such thing spoken of or limited at,
or anything approaching it, lat any meeting
of the directors since my connection with it
some four or five years ago. As for the
statement that the officials of the bank must
have been implicated in the affair, l know
nothing about it except by hearsay. The
books of the bank, l understand, are all
straight. however, land compare truthfully
with the returns ON the bank stock made by

THE DEATH PENALTY
Suffered BY Seventeen Years Old
James e. NoWiin.

BosToN, Jan. FLAMES e, Nowlin. was
hanged at Cambridge jail at 9.23 this morn
ing for the murder of George A. Goldman,
his employer, January 4, 1887. The death
sentence was executed by Sheriff Cushing
and lis deputies without any occurrence to
mar the proceedings, and his death, at least
so far as any consciousness was concerned,
was instantaneous.
The prisoner showed great ealmness during
the night and from about midnight he slept
soundly till morning. During the evening
his mother came to the Jail to say good bye.
When she had gone Nowlin said the worst
was over and that he was ready to die.
While talking of his crime last night to a
prison official he said, among other things,
that if he had known more about the Bible
he would never have committed the deed.
He walked to the scaffold this morning calm
ly and without any indication of nervous
ness, and he remained so till the last.
The crime for which young Nowlin suffered
the death penalty was committed in the hope
of securing money, Goldman having boasted
of the amount in his possession. The mur-
der was most brutal, the body being terribly
mutilated and discovered.
Nowlin appeared to be a bright and pre-
possessing fellow and was the second Of four
boys, who lived with their widowed mother,
on Autumn Avenue, SOmerville Their
father had hanged himself in penitentiary
a few years before, somewhere in the prov
inces All the boys had the reputation of
being rather wild, although previous to that
time nothing actually bad had been known
of them.
