A GIFTED WOMAN
The Death Of Miss Mary Booth VIII be
Regretted in Many Homes.
New York Times.

The death of Miss Mary L. Booth
takes away one of the most accom-
plished, diligent, and useful Of Amer
lean literary woman. Her faithful
and spirited translations from the
French first brought Miss Booth
into public notice, and the impress
sion of competent and conscientious
workmanship made by these was
deepened by her historical labors.
For more than 20 years Miss Booth
has been the editor of Harpers Ba-
gar, and the skill and tact which she
has shown in discharging the duties
of that place are known throughout
the country, and the announcement
of her death will bring sense of
personal bereavmcnt to thousands of
homes.

Why Farmers Fail.

The Commissioner Of Labor Sta
tisics of Iowa, DIR. r. r. Hutchins,
recently sent out a blank to be filed
by farmers, containing this question
What are the chief causes which
lead to farmers failures2" 1t was
answered substantially as follows
by Mr.. NJ. B. Doolittle, of Cresco,
Iowa:
LIST. The markets, or consumers,
are too far from products.
I'd. Too high railroad freight
rates.
Sd. Too high rates of interest on
borrowed capital.
4th. Too many dogs and wolves
in the country and not enough
sheep.
9Th. Toe much fashion, too much
whiskey and tobacco, and not enough
enterprise.
9th. Too high lawyer and doctor
fees and not enough general intelli-
gencc.
7th. Too much party in politics
and not enough principle.
9Th. Too much listening to far
mers' enemies and too little seeking
for common sense for guide.
9th. Business as now conducted
gives the farmer no part in making
prices. When he sells, the dealer
makes the price of his produce; when
he buys, the merchant names the
price he must pay, and both are gen
orally against the farmer.
10th. The farmers greatest volun-
tary act which enters into his fail
ures is the utterly heartless manner
in which he unhitches from ma
chine which has plowed his corn,
mown his hay or cut and bound his
grain, leaving it TO rot and rust in
the field for the next eleven months.
In Maine and Massachusetts mems
shoes are manufactured and sold at
$3.50 per pair. Corn in that market
is never less, and often much more,
than rs cents per bushel, or two
bushels of corn for pair of shoes.
Middle-mcn and railroads transport
these shoes to Iowa and sell them
for three dollars per pair. Farmers
pay for them with corn at rs cents
per bushel, or twelve bushels for a
pair of shoes. The shoes are manu-
foctnrod or nrnduced for two and
sold to the consumer for twelve bush
els of corn. They who go off with
the other ten bushels have much
to, do with the failure Of far
mers.
The Iowa Homcstedd adds to this
list two other causes--scrub stock,
and the itch for Office. To these may
be added, the want of economy, and
of the adaptation Of expenditures
to the productive capacity Of the
farm.

A Terrible Misfortune.

1t is a calamity of the direst kind
to feel that ones physician energies
are failing in the prime Of life to
feel more nerveless, more dispirited,
weaker every day. Yet this is the un-
happy lot of hundreds who surround
us. A source of renewed strength
which science approves, in behalf
of which multitudes of the debilita-
ted have and and are every day testi-
flying, and which, in countless in
stances, has built up constitutions
Slapped by weakness and infirmity
and long unidentified by other means,
surely commends itself to all who
need tonic. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is such a medicine--pure,
botanic, soothing to the nerves, pro-
motive of digestion and fertilizer
of the blood. Dyspepsia and nervous
ness--the first cause the second q
consequence of lack of stamina-de
part when course of the Bitters is
tried. All forms of malarial disease,
rheumatism, kidney and bladder
trouble, constipation and biliousness
are annihilated by this standard
family medicine.

Alexander on Conversion.
70 the Editor of the New Domlsrss.


To the Editor of the New DoMrsrss.
The change wrought In conversion
is a change of the mind as well as OF
the outward conduct. Yet it Is COM
monty supposed that man is con-
verified who changes his outward life.
But Christ declared that outwardly
the Pharisees were beautifuf but In
wardly they were full Of dead mems
bones and all uncleanness - their
righteousness being done to be seen
of men: Math. 20, 1928; 8, IL, and
in / Cor Paul tells us that a man may
bestow all his goods to feed the poor
and give his body TO be burned and
yet be unsavcd Neither 10 the pos
session of supernatural gifts an evi
dencc Of salvation, for many such II
Matt. 1925 are called workers OF in
EQUITY. We learn in Romans 8, SO
that the change wrought in saliva
tion is simply taking the mind Of
the things Of the flesh and putting
it on the things Of the spirit, or a.
Paul has it in Titus ala, denying
ourselves all ungodlincss and world
ly lusts and living soberly. right
eously and cody in this present
world. Now the expression ungodly
and worldly lusts in the text simply
has reference to excessive or unlaW-
full desires. The converted man has
the same appetites and passions
after conversion that be had before,
and equally strong and vigorous, tho
only difference being when unsaxed
he was led and controlled BY these,
! Pet. 4, 23, but after conversion hc
controls and uses them AZ instfu-
ments of righteousness, Rom 6:19,
never asking his own honor or ple6e-
ure but doing all things for the hon
or and glory Of God. x

Why the Fourth Of March :

To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION.
Can you tell me why March 4 was
chosen as the date for the Inaugural
of the President? have been told
that it was because that day seldom
falls on Sunday; is that SOP
EAsToN, March 10. w. F.
There was no special reason for
choosing this day, except one of tenn
porary convenience. 1t was neces-
sary to fix a date on which the new
government under the constitution
should go into operation, and the
first Wednesday in March, 1889, was
agreed upon as a suitable day. As
a matter Of fact, the first Congress
did not organize on that day and
Washington was not inauguratcd
until April 80, but the official term
was held to have begun on March 4,
and SO every succeeding term of
President or q member of Congress
is computed from that date. Sunday
was not a consideration and had
nothing to do with the case.

in the world. No other White House

Thieves Caught.

Sheriff Hardman and George
Stealey passed through town Friday
afternoon with the two prisoners ar
rested in Woodsfield charged with
breaking into the store of L. L.
Stealey, in Middlebourne. Mr..
Hardman says they have virtually
confessed to the crime. Several ar
ticles of jewelry we're found on their
persons with Mr.. Stealey's private
mark on them. One of the prisoners
is Bellaire, Ohio, man but denies
the fact most alphabetically. They
were taken out to Middlebourne Fri
day afternoon after all hands had
had dinner at the Western Hotel.
The prisoners have bad looking coun.
tenances. It is thought by some
that these are the same gentlemen
that blowed McCormick 4 Thistle's

West virginians Developing West
Virginia.

West Virginia energy has put its
shoulder to the wheel in one section
Of the State, and is in fair way to
make the wilderness blossom as the
rose. The enterprise which is thus
set on foot promises to be q long
looked for opportunity to the great
central counties of tie State. Sena-
tor Camden is the moving spirit, and
the purpose as briefly outlined by
him is to extend the Weston narrow
guage railroad from Weston to Brax-
ton c. H. Its ultimate destination
is Charleston, thus completing a
north and south line of railroad
through the interior counties.
There is little doubt that the Brax-
ton extension will be pushed forward
rapidly. Ample assurances have
been given that work will be begun
by April 1, il the county will vote .
nominal subscription to the com
pany's stock. Senator Camden says
Of it personally.
IF the people of Braxton will
take this matter up and act upon it
promptly, there is no question about
the road being built, and it will be
one the greatest pleasures of my
life to see it done"
The pathway of the iron horse is
already beginning to be dotted with
new business enterprises. Prominent
among them is mammoth saw mill
and lamber establishment, to be To-
Gated on the Elk River, near Brax-
ton c. H. Grafton capitalists are
the prime movers in it, large sums
of money have already been invested,
and in few months the magnificent
oak, walnut and poplar, Of hitherto
inaccessible mountain sides, will
hear the sing of the buzzing saws,
and be sent out as West Virginia's
fairest product in the country's mar
kets.
There is more in such enterprises
than the opening up of a rich terri
tory. West Virginia brains and
energy are behind them. They en-
phasize our power of self-develop-
ment. People who talk indefinitely
about coming booms, rarely realize
the value of pluck and push in their
neighbors; West Virginia can never
become rich unless her people make
her SO, and the sooner they go to
work, without waiting for foreign in
dustry, the better. When they show
the world what they can do, they
will get plenty of help. The men
who are developing Braxton county,
make their work doubly valuable,
because they are West virginians.--

J. Prent. Dolliver.

The New York World pays the
following well deserved compliment
to an old Morgantown boy whom we
all remember, and who is the only
alumnus of the University here who
has been elected to Congress. J.
Prent Dolliver gave promise of a
bright future when here, and while
no one is surprised to hear Of his SO
early earning national reputation,
we are nevertheless much pleased to
see BIN spoken of so highly by
metropolitan daily:
A gifted Western pilgrim who
went to Washington to join the faith
full at the fountain seat of patronage
was j. Prent. Dolliver, of Iowa.
Since Bob Ingersoll left Burlington
for New York, Dolliver is voted the
most eloquent man in the Hawkeye
State. He is good looking, dark,
black haired, black-eyed and black
mustached, Of medium height and
tips the scales at $50 pounds. He
is the youngest member of the
Hawkeye delegation and enc Of the
youngest men in the House, for he
was just two years old when the war
broke out. Dolliver didn't make
his reputation, which is now Nation
al, by solitary oratorical effort.
He is not "single-speech Knott"
or a "single-speech Grady" or a
sssingle-speech Wolcott." The ora
ton he made five years ago in the
Iowa Republican convention was
printed all over the country, but he
has kept on making good speeches,
and when he stumped the doubtful
States for Blaine in 1884 he won
golden opinions from many of oppos-
ing political creeds. Dolliver has a
bullet-shapcd head and a short,
thick neck. When he talks he talks
all over, and his body and legs help
his arms and head to punctuate the
fight Of his eloquence. Iowans all
count him coming man.
