A'reminiscenceo Of Daniel Webster, never
told before IN print, was related here the
other dhy by contemporary Of the
Massachusetts senator. It illustrates
more f0rcibly than any hitherto recorded
the extraordinary influence Of his o1atory.
Webster had given friend his note for
81, 900. 4 miserly old Whig-the richest
man in Alexandria bought the paper at
sharp shave. He admired Webster and
trusted him. The note matured. The
senator could not pay: The miser dunned
Webster persistently, hut without effect.
Mr.. Webster made positive appointment
to meet him one morning. btlt was not to
be found either at his home or IN the
senate.
The nofe holder was walking away
from the Capitol in despair when he saw
Webster approaching with head high IA
sir, eyes sunken with far away look, lips
parted and teeth showing in broad smile.
The old Whig lost courage and passed
without recognition. Next morning. il
perusing the newspaper he read Web.
stefs reply to Hayne. At once he took
the orators note and tore it to pieces, SO
prodigious was the effect Of the splendid
phillppic Washington Cor. America

Inside the Kremlin are three cathedrals:
the Cathedral Of the Annunciation, where
all the czars are baptized; the Cathedral
of the Assumption, where al are crowned,
and the Cathedral of the Archannei
Michael, where all the emperors were
buried mp to the time of Peter the Great
These are ALL as arc most Of the churches
in Moscow, built III the Moorish style Of
architure and most elaboratcly decorated.
Recently, In the Church of the Assump-
ton, which was being renovated, several
very ancient pictures were brought to light
on the walls, and these have been carefully
preserved. One OF them represents sew
eral scenes from the life Of Jonah, and is
very unique in its way. On one side the
prophet is being thrown overheard from
an exceedingly rIckety looking ship.
Then creature with big eyes and big
mouth and tail lin all about Jonah'a
size) IS doing his best TO take him in. 2
But the crowning masterpiece Of the
whole picture is where Jonah-nop safe
on land-is bidding the whale good-by in
the most elaborate and polite, Russian
manner.
Near by these churches is the tower of
Ivan the Great, very lofty and containing
some fifty-tw0 bells. many Of them OF
very large size. At the foot Of the tower
is the '.Tsar Kolokoi, OF the King Bell,
the great bell Of Moscow" Of which we
have heard all our lives. II Is immense,
there is no doubt Of that It is 20 feet
high and GO feet IN circumference, and ID
about feet through in the thickest part;
but somehow we are disappointed and
/ have an idea that we have been imposed
upon because it isn't bigger, and we come
away with a feeling Of sadness at having
one Of our boyhood's most precious mem.

is there no Joy in making these little
plans to please others, so that when the
veil of darkness shuts you from their
sight, your going may not be all an un-
broken pain-that no tender thoughts of
how you had planned to remain in their
thoughts should follow you on the un-
known voyage to the mysterious hey0nd2
While this, perhaps, is the strongest ar
gument for persons who possess only
trifling things to make will, there is an
other. too, which has a pleasant side.
Few of us have She slightest idea Of what
we have; things accumulate SO fast. In
q good sized family of comfortable means
there are enough things of value given at
one Christmas season to warrant the
making of a will. The listing Of what
one does possess is pleasant occupation,
full of surprises, and would fill many
weary hours for elderly people, whose
waning eyesight and general feebleness
debars them from active interests and
emDloyments and leaves their lives but q
quiet season Of waiting.
Did you ever lose a friend and feel an
irresistible longing for something that
was hers7 It might be that sho had pre-.
sented you with many things, but none
could give you the satisfaction that
would ensue If you had any old book or
little picture she had loved and priced.
When one{ gees away from home it Is
usual to see that all which is left behind
Is properly cared for. Why, then. not fol-
low the same natural instinct when leav-
ing them behind forever To those who
had jewels and Iaces. plate and costly
china, it seems as absolutely wrong not
TO arrange for their disposal, Just as is

Gallant Lieut. Brown.

The Baltimore San of late date
contains graphic account of the
saving of the crew of the Trenton,
during the fearful storm at Samoa,
by Lieut.. r. NJ G. Brown, who was
in command of the vessel at the
time:
cat 10 O'Clock in the morning the
Trenton lost her rudder and propel-
Ter by fouling with piece of wreck
age, and the pilot wheel had every
spoke in it broken by the shock. In
a short time, too, the water poured in
through the hawser pipes, which, by
faulty construction, were situated on
the berth deck, and poured into the
tire-rooms, extinguishing all the fires.
From ten in the morning until six
o'clock Saturday afternoon, when
she grounded, the Trenton held out
against the storm without steam or
rudder. The skillful management
of her navigating officer, Lieut.. r.
M. G. Brown, was all that saved the
lives of those on board. Capt. Far.
quhar, in his official report, paid a
high tribute to the skill of Lieut.
Brown. In the middle of the after
noon, when the force Of the storm
was bearing the Trenton Broadside
in toward the reef, and it seemed as
if she was lost, Lieut.. Brown order
ed every man into the port rig
ging, SO that compact mass of hui
mainly could be used as sails, and
the weight of the vessel at the same
time kept on the side next to the
storm. This novel experiment was
all that saved the Trenton from de-
struction at that moment, for the
wind struck against the men in the
rigging and forced the vessel out
into the bay again. At this critical
moment the stars and stripes were
seen flying from the gaff of the Tren-
ton, as If the gallant ship knew she
was doomed and was determined
to go down with her flag flying.
Sunday morning, though the water
was still very rough, the men were
gotten ashore with the help Of the
natives, whose efforts were directed
by King Mataafa.

The on Production Not decreasInr.

There have recently been some
newspaper reports to the effect that
the oil production in the Mt. Morris
field was diminishing. This was no
doubt caused by the mysterious
movements OF some of the operators
and their refusal to inform the cor
respondents Of the real situation.
The New DOMINION has informa-
ton from one of the largest well own
ers in the field which gives positive
assurance that the production was
never so great as at this time. And
it could be doubled, did the opera
tors care to do SO.

Splendid New Goods.

Some Of the handsomest lines OF
cassimcrs ever brought to town may
be seen at F. X. O'Kelly's merchant
tailoring establishment. They are
of beautiful patterns, of the very
best quality and the prices are much
below those asked by drummers
from the cities. Every patron OF
Mr.. O'Kelly knows the quality of
his work, hence it needs no recon-
mendation at our hands. He has
some beautiful and very serviceable
pants patterns that are sold made
up at $500. Any quality desired
may be had at from $500 to $4,000.
Suits are priced at 1922 to 1926 that
other houses price at $33 and $35.

prices.

New Business Block.

About May l Charles A. Hayes
will begin the razing of the Price
property, on Main street, which he
recently purchased, and this summer
erect a business house on the same
site after the latest plans. Joe. M.
Wood has nearly completed the pur-
chase of the 20 foot lot between the
building and the p. E. church and
be will put up twin building with
Mr.. Hayes. The new building will
be used as a grocery and shoe
store, Mr.. Hayes running the former
and Mr.. Wood the latter. Surely
the young bloods are coming to the
front.
There will likely be some other adj
ditions to Morgantown's list of bus
mess blocks the coming summer.
There either will be or some of our
people are bigger liars than we give

The contracts for the grading Of
the entire line Of the Monongahela
River railroad from this place to
Clarksburg we're awarded last Mon
day at meeting Of the company
held in Philadelphia. The following
named contractors were the lucky
bidders, securing sections as follows,
each section representing one ollie:
Ryan 4 Mcdonald, of New York,
sections 4 to Is inclusive, beginning
at the bridge at Yellow Rock Ford
and extending to within short dis
lance of Shinnston; Thomas j. Steer
4 Co., of Parkersburg, sections 16
to 81, inclusive, covering the next
six miles of the route; and Stanley
4 Co., Of Ohio, sections 20 to 81, in
elusive. extending thence to Clarks-
burg. Sections l and 2.are cmbrac-
ed in the CASTOR railway, already
in operation, and section extends
from that road to the river bridge
and will be graded by Blodgett 4
Co, to whom was awarded the con-
tract for the bridge some time since.
The several contractors will come
on early next week, to arrange for
beginning work, and before the first
of next month the dirt will be flying
briskly along the whole line. Chief
Engineer Fickinger, this week start
ed the surveyors over the route to
run cross sections and with Resident
Engineer Roberts who superintends
the office details, is pushing all pre-
liminary work forward rapidly.
Blodgett d Co., the bridge men, have
been getting out stone for several
weeks, working about thirty hands,
and are now putting in Golfer dam
for the south side pier and will prob
ably begin laying stone next Mon
day or Tuesday. 1t is perhaps I'M
necessary to add that the survey On
the west side of the river from the
bridge to Clarksburg has been defn-
itely fixed upon for the route of the
