West Virginia's Contested Governorship

The legislative committee having in charge
the contest for the West Virginia governorship
is holding its final session and will have its
report ready this week. The delay has been
inexplicable. 1t is nearly fourteen months
since the election and the people of the state
do not yet know officially who is to be their
governor. They are losing patience and the
newspapers of all parties throughout the state
are publishing indignant editorials. The special
session OF the legislature to act on the report of
the committee will probably be called this
week. Some sensational developments regard
ing the cause of the delay of the committee are
promised within few days

A House 20 be Erected for Loving
Couples Alone.

From the London Figaro.
I am awaiting further particulars Of that
Honeymooners' hotel, which, according 10 q
circumstautiai correspondent, is to be built on
the South Devonshfe coast for the special and,
If possible, sole use Of newly-married couples
on their wedding trips. That the surround
ings Of the establishment are TO be made a.
idyllic and fairylike - possible need scarcely
be said. Romantic arbors in shady corners,
gushing streamlets, secluded sylvan hooks are
to be provided ad lib, while with the aid Of
science every night will be q moonlight one
and every day one Of seeming bright and warm
sunshine. The prospectus is even said to hint
at the presence Of mechanical nightingales,
which, thanks to persistently winding up, will
watble on every suitable tree.
The decorations, artistic and otherwise, of
the hotel are. of course. to be all in character,
though must admit that question whether
the proposed Transformation of the ordinary
week-kneed hotel walters and the somewhat
too substantial chambermaids of the provinces
into attendant Ganymedes and Hebes, as artis-
tic in their poses as they are classical in their
attire, will really be an advisable step to take.
The laying on of eolian harps and other
mysterious music in every department is
another detail open to criticism But there is
nothing like actual experience after all, and
shall be curious to hear more about the Honey
mooners' hotel when il has been opened for
business for few weeks
