verdict of the Jury Inauiring Into
His Mental Condition,

Sheriff W. W. White, OF Montgomery county,
Md, last Monday summoned a jury to inquire
into the lunacy OF Rev. George W. Israel, oil
Clarksburg. After hearing testimony in the
case the Jury decided that Mt. Israe was OF
unsound mind at intervals and not competent
to take care of his property, which isvalucd at
81 600 or $1,000 He pleaded his own case, and
seemed perfectly rational during the trial, ad-
mitting that he was occasionally subjected to
hallucinatiOns, but urging that he was not OF
unsound mind. MIR. Israel has been MethO-
dist minister Tor over forty years. and was con
sdered at one time to be one OF the brightest
lights in the Methodist Episcopal conference.
He Is well known In this city, where he has a
number OF relatives and many irlends.

Mems Shirts.

Soc is the price OF the "Palais Royal"
Dress Shirts. We can fit you because we
have sizes to suit all figures The "Palais
ROYAL" Shirt of 1877 had only one length OF
sleeve. The 1883 shirt has three lengths Of
sleeves to each neck size. We have grad
ually improved until we now guarantee
fit to any man not actually deformed. The
materials and finish are equal to custom
made shirts at 81 apiece. That 1t is so we
demonstrate daily. Extraordinary facilities
for obtaining the material from first hands,
the manufacturing department under able
management, and with small profits, solves
the mystery OF soc for such shirts as the
"Palais Royal.n You still doubt, maybe.
Try shirt, return 1t II unsatisfactory, and
your soc will be given you promptly and
politely. Don't condemn without trial
this to men who have been paving fancy
prices.

4 Turkey Gobbier Raises a family.

4 Turkey Gobbier Raises a Family.
Mr.. George w. Wolf, living near
Vanclevesvile, tells us IA pretty good
story of an old turkey gobbler that he
owns. Some weeks ago the gobbler
showed very earnest desire to go in
to the business of Matching eggs, and
set around on old door knobs, tin cans,
Sc. until he was finally given charge
of a nest containing some chicken and
turkey eggs. He was delighted with
his new occupation, and stuck to the
eggs closely. Unfortunately. some OF
the eggs were broken, and by the
time they were ready to hatch only
one little chick and one little turkey
came forth. But the gObbler was sat
isfied. and he bestowed all his alice
ton on his two offspring. He takes
good care Of them, and devOtes all OF
his time to their welfare, lowering
over them whenever danger appears
or night time comes. He can't forget
that he is still turkey gObbler, and
sometimes struts around as only a tur-
key gobbler can. But generally he
spends his time foraging for his little
family. clucking atfectionately to them
and ever and anon waging war upon
various inquisitive inrruders. 1t is
not often that "a turkey gobbler en-
cages in such an occupation.
