A lad Of going into the police station
the other night tolda pitiable story, say
ing that his father so abused him that
he had run away from his home in Rome,
N. y. The police pitied him, and after
giving him supper tucked him away
comfortably in bed. The next morn
ing a man who lived only a few doors
from the station wandered in and in
quired for his son. He was told that
only one child was there, a poor little
fellow from New York state, who had
been badly treated at home. He natur-
ally felt for the child, and expressing a
desire to $40 him he was escorted to the
bed, when lie recognized the sleeper as
his missing son.
He angrily demanded an explanation.
Jakey forgot all about the cruel Rome
father and trembled in anticipation Of
the reception awaiting him ut home.
When Sergeant Logan heard that lie had
been wasting pity and good victuals on
the lad he felt trife queer, and did not
regain his composure until the patter of
shingle accompanied by suppressed
sobs and yells floated out of house
near by and fell like music on his ear

AZ YOU CO rHRoue4 LIrE.

Don't look for the flaws os you 20 through life:
And even when you find them
10 is wise and kind 10 be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the clOudiest night has hint Of light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding,
II is better by far TO hunt for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding
Tie current Of life runs ever away
To the bosom Of Gods great ocean.
Don't set your force igainst the rivers course
And think 70 alter its motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe
Remember. it lived before YOU
Don't butt At the storm with your puny form
but bend and let il ~ DER you
THE world will never adjust itself
TO suit yOur vhims t0 the letter
Some things must go wrong your whole Life long,

The First Cornpopper Laughed At.

The First CornPopper Laughed At.
In the winter of 1887 Mr.. Francis P.
Knowlton, of Hopkinton, n. H., pur-
chased Of Mr.. Amos Kelley sheet Of
wire netting from his mandatory on
the main road and constructed the first
cornpopper ever made The various
parts We're cut the required shape and
then sewed together with wire. Mr.
Knowlton then made some for Judge
Harvey and Judge Chase, which they
sent to various parts Of the United States
as curiosities Thinking that he could
see field of usefulness for the newly
conceived article, Mr.. Knowlton made
several and took them to Concord to
hardware store, hoping to introduce be-
fore the public useful utensil and to
receive a reasonable remuneration.
His production was scorned and ridi-
culed by the proprietOrs, and they re-
fused to have anything to do with it.
Unwilling to be thwarted in what looked
to him to be reasonable and sensible
project, he proposed leaving them to be
sold on commission, and was told that he
could leave one or two if he would pay
storage on them. From necessity he
took them back to Hopkinton. The first
one he made was laid away for curios-
ity. It has since been given to the An
tiquarian society, and now finds home
in that valuable collection. Soon after
Mr.. Knowlton's defeat Mr.. Amos Kelley
began pressing them into the required
shape, and by slow degrees they found
favor before the public. Today no New
England homestead is without one No

STANDARDS ANSWER.
The Monopoly Defends Its Rights
Exist.

COLUMBUS, o., July l2-Nirgil y. Kline
and NJ. X. Kuth, attorneys for the Standard
Oil company, to-day filed the answer of
that company in the suit brought by the
Attorney General of Ohio TO revoke their
charter They vigorously deny that the
original company's property has been
merged into a trust, or that its owners
are now held as charged in the
petition by persons, a majority of
whom are residents of other States. The
Trustees mentioned in the agreement, the
answer AYERS, do not have general super
vision of the affairs of the defendant com
pany, but these are managed by board of
directors elected by the stockholders, and
hence the defendant company declares that
it cannot have surrendered its corpo-
rate powers TO a board of trustees,
as the Attorney-Generals says. This was
the main point made in the petition. a
large part of the answer is devoted to try
ing to show that the company is operated
and managed just as other corporations are
and that il is not an institution TO nOurish
monopoly or injure trade. The answer
closes with plea based on the statute of
limitations citing that if there is anything
illegal in what the company has done, or
any members informing the fact was more
than five years ago and 1.-THE cause Of ac-
ton is therefore barred. -

To tie EtitOr 0f hs SWHdGy Register:
In the DAILY REGISTER on last Friday
morning | noticed a suggestion which had
been made by the State Board of Health
that to improve the health of our city, our
water works pumping station should be
situated some distance above the city lin
its. and that our fellow citizen. DR. Baird
did not think the city could afford TO spend
the amount which would be required
for 50 great an undertaking. | am Of
the same opinion, and also do not
think that should we carry all our
sewage through the city and deposit it De
low the present water station; that our
water supply would be much purer. or
would it be the means Of checking the many
yearly scourges of fever that come to
Wheeling. The best remedy, and which
would doubtless be the sure cure for secur-
ing our citizens from these bad water NAL
aides. would be 10 sink artesian wells from
the top of the hill near the new basin, and
If found necessary erect pumping engines
there to draw the water from the earth into
the basin, or force it directly through the
mains and into our homes, as is done at the
present time. There can be no doubt but
a fine supply Of water can be had by the ar
tesian well system, and which would be
pure. wholesome and free from the pOisons
which produce epldemics every year ms,
no one can deny, who has seen the amount
of water issuing from the spring, and drank
Of that refreshing stream near the head of
Fourteenth street. j trust these sugges-
tions, made through the columns of your
valuable paper, may be the means of in
ducing our city officers end our city Council
TO think of this plan Of procuring pure sup
ply of wholesome water, and that they may
act promptly TO secure il and thereby bet
ter the health Of our citizens. J. II.

of Iowa, called up the conference report
on the silver bill. Mr.. Conger said that
the bill presented in the report was (aS

such bill, perhaps, as any
member of the House would like TO pass

Mr. Bland, of Missouri, concurred

But that House would be composed of
those who advocated free coinage, and
who stood by their colorS. II would not
be composed of the Republican party,
which, by the rule had voted

SPECIAL Telegram TO the sunday Register.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, July ia de-
cree was rendered in the Federal Court,
Wednesday, by Judge jackson, in the case
of Dumas, D'Huc ct al. Us Randall at al,
authorizing John Il. Reed, of Philadelphia.
special trustee, TO sell all the interests,
legal and equitable, in tract of 10000
acres of land granted by the State of Vir-
ginia to James Swami in 1875. The case is
a famous one. Swami was Revolutionary
patriot, who impoverished himself for
his country, and was granted a tract
of 2,500,00O acres by Virginia in recogni-
tion of his services. The land
formed veritable empire, en-
bracing almost the entire southwestern
portion of Virginia and West Virginia.
Swami conceived a great colonization
scheme, and visited France to put it on
foot. There he became involved: the
scheme failed, and he was imprisoned ten
years for debt. Swami died within few
weeks after his release from prison. The
lands were forfeited to the State for taxes.
but in 1889 they were again reconveyed to
his heirs. The decree entered in the Court
was a final settlement of the claims Of the
heirs of Swann's French creditors.
