There seems TO be little dOnbt that
the order was carried out. For the
first seven days she drank no
water even. Then the Lord ap.

ed her to drink. From that time on
she took water until the 21ih OF
February, but after that date she
drank nothing until yesterday,
when her long fast ended. The
event was made the occasion of a
feast, which attracted crowd to
the Court House, where the feast
was held. The negroes brought in
food in considerable abundance,
and Mrs. King made square meal
of oysters, cold turkey, ham and
other substantials, which she seem.

progress of the affair hymns were
sung, talks made, and two or three
negro women went INTO frances

THE EXTRA SESSION.
1T SHOULD BE CALLED AS EARLY
IN OCTOBER AS POSSIBLE.

1T SHOULD BE CALLED AS EARLY
IN OCTOBER AS POSSIBLE.
Philadelphia Press /: An extra
session this spring is not needed
and none will be called. This, we
take it, is now settled. Mr.. Win
dom can take care of the surplus,
the last Congress took care of the
territories, and the tariff can wait
until next autumn, as a new tariff
could not be passed in time for the
next fiscal year and should, tor
obvious reasons, 90 into effect
with one.
The next Congress ought to meet
next fall at the earliest moment at
which the delegations from the
new States can be present. Their
presence is indispensable. AS ,he
enabling act for these States sum
mons their constitutional conven-
tions July 4 and fixes the date for
the election of representatives at
the same time with the adoption Of
the constitution on October l, the
Congressional delegation in the
House can be filled early. The
new Senators, however, cannot be
chosen until the new States are
admitted by the Presidents 2rocla-
nation. and this can be issued only
after the adoption OF cOnstitiOn
by each State.
These steps can all be taken by
the first week in October, and
probably will he, if 1t Is understood
that Congress is likely to meet IN
extra session. If a fall session did
nothing else it would give the
House time to discharge it's first
and most needed dnty-tO perfect
it's roll. We trust no Republican
House will leave it's contested
cases to he settled at the end OF its
last session. The House is not a
constitutional House until it has
exercised it's judicial powers and
seated the men chosen by the PEG
pie to represent them.

ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

Philadelphia Inquirer
Gen. Harrison does not allow the i'm
portant matters now pressing upon his
attention to interfere with that daily
exercise to which he has been accus-
toned. Every day since he has been in
Washington he has put on his favorite
slouch hat and taken walk out on the
streets among the people.
This is in great contrast to the course
pursued by President Cleveland. He
has rarely or never appeared on the
streets of the Capital, except in his car
riage. Even that has been at long in
tervals. and nearly always when he was
compelled to go and come. The coun-
try has never had a Chief Magistrate
quite so exclusive in this respect as the
gentleman who retired on Monday.
We have no doubt that Gen. Harrison
will keep up his walks along the streets
after he is sworn into Office of President,
just as he has done in Indianapolis and
Washington since he was elected. His
slouch hat became very familiar to the
people of Indianapolis. 1t is easy and
comfortable, and not at all unbecoming.
The President is only one of the peo-
pie. Gen. Harrison's slouch hat and
daily walks promise well for an admin
istration in sympathy and touch with
the sturdy masses of the country.

st. Loas Globe Democrat.
In little village some twelve miles
distant from Cleveland, o., there lived,
some thirty years ago, two very attract
i've girls. To one of these President
Hayes bebame a suitor, but the parents
of the young lady vigorously opposed
the courtship on the ground that young
Hayes was poor. and gave evidence of
hardly sufficient ability to warrant risk
ing their daughters future. The match
was broken off and the lady is to-day
married and well known in Cleveland
society. The other young lady had re-
ceived many attentions from young Gar
field, and was quite disposed to recipro-
cate them. Her parents, however, OBJ
jected to their intimacy, giving as rea-
son for their opposition the poverty of
Garfield and the anything but bright
prospects of his future. The chief CO.
incidence of these courtships consists in
the fact that Bedford, where both these
young ladies lived, contained at the
time less than five hundred inhabitants,
and both refused two future Presidents
because of their poverty.

NEXT WEDNESDAY, between the hours
of l and 3 o'clock the voters of St. ClairS-
vile school district will have an oppor-
tunity to enlarge the Board OF Educa-
ton to six members.
The reasons for the change are obvl-
GUS, and should commend themselves 10
the good sense of all the people.
1t will be a more representative body
than as now constituted.
No other town anywhere of the size
of st. CIairsville is content to permit
two persons to control absolutely its i'm
portant educational interests.
There are grave doubts whether our
Board of Education as organized is a
lawful body.
If sin multitude of counsel there is
wisdom" why not in boards of educa-
ton as well as in other bodies?
Six men have more sense than three
men.
The enlargement of the Board to six
members will increase the interest in the
schools to very great extent.
Three additional members would serve
as balance-wheel and governor, and
prevent rings and jobs.
The enlargement of the Board will
cost nothing.
Vote for it,
