properly ventilated. Get one of our

sHEpHERDsTOWN W. VA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1890

Washing what? Why, man, you
have spoiled everything there, to the
last dud! Is your wife sick, dead or
run off,
Aren't these clothes right?'
Man! man! but even a heather
would know betterr'
Just then one of Mr.. Bowser's down
town friends drove through the alley
in buggy. He could see over the
fence, and when he saw Mr.. Bowser
he pulled up his horse so quickly that
the animal almost fell.
SIS that you, Bowser?" he called.
Yves"
well, what in the name Of the past
ages are you doing?'
"Oh, n-nothing."
Nothing, I'll bet 10 to you're fit
ting yourself for a museum freak.
Say, old man, you have hit it! Just
file your teeth to a point and you'll
pass for o genuine cannibal!'
He drove on and the egg woman
backed out OF the gate and said:
I've been furnishing you three
dozen a week, and I've never missed a
Tuesday, but give you notice that |
don't come no more. 1t would be
taking chances. \ man as is light in
the head may be all right one day and
very violent the next. Love to your
excellent wife, and I'm sorry for her. "
Mr.. Bowser entered the kitchen in
three jumps. Isat there laughing un-
til | could hardly breathe. He tower
ed above me like mountain over q
mouse, and after choking and gasp
ing for minute he roared out:
Mrs. Bowser, you have finally done
it, haven't you 2
What have | done?"
What have you done! Got lie to
do the washing and give myself away
for an Internal idiot! Look at me!
Look at them duds in the yardn'
Mr. Bowser, didn't l tell you not
to try it? Didn't do my best to keep
you from trying it?''
No. Never You encouraged me
to go ahead"
Mr.. Bowserm
Don't Mr. Bowser mel This is the
end. The worm turns! Well settle
matters this very day."
But Mr. Bowser is still with me, and
| have no doubt that we shall live and
die together.

She Thought She Gould Walk.

I've never been on the cars be-
fore" said the old lady, settling her
self in her seat and arranging her
skirts. My son got married fifteen
years ago, and went to live at Bridge
port. He kept a urgin' me 10 come
to Bridgeport, but says to him, |
amt never been on the cars, and |
don't think | would like it."
Now, mother. says he, you won't
have no trouble at all. You jist git
on the cars, and you have nice cush-
ioned seats, and you see lots of stran-
gers. Mother says he, you would
like it, / know"
We'll, john" says, lit don't seem
right to Inc, an old woman, to go CAD
din about in new-fangled cars" But
every time he come to our house he
kept urgin' me.
John" says, II might go if l
could do some knittin' on the cars, but
l amt willin' to etidle with my hands
crossed and doin' nothin'."
why, mother" says he, II amt
never seen any women doin' much
sewin' on the cars, but, bless you, lots
OF 'em knits. You kin jest sit there
and knit till you get to Bridgeport.
well, john says |, "I'll go to
please you, but don't think it's right. :
Now, mother says he, I'll come
up and git you, or you kin have Hen
ry come down."
NO" says |, Henry must stay to
home and look after the farm, and |
guess / kin git to Bridgeport if the
cars will take me there"
They will take you right there,
and will meet you,n says he.
How will know" says |, when
we are to Bridgeport"
why, mother, " says he, 1.-The brake
man will put his head in the door and
say what station it is.
80 here / am, on the cars for the
first time. 1t amt much use for Inc
to be wastin my time, and guess I'll
do some knittin'.'
The little woman put on her glasses,
and, feeling around in her cloth bag
with trembling hand, drew forth her
knitting.
DO you know she said, turning
around her work and looking at it
closely, 1.-The cars run quite smooth.
| don't seem to mind 'em at all, but it
don't seem right for an old woman
like Inc to be goin' about on cars.
She picked up two or three stitches
and was on the point OF starting her
slender needles on their way when
the brakeman opened the door and
cried out
"BRIDGEPoRT!'
What did he sayT" asked the little
woman, with surprised look in her
eyes.
bridgeport. We are coming to it
now"
"BridgeportT' she said, folding her
knitting. Now, amt that aggrava-
tin ? | always thought Bridgeport
was forty miles from US. II | had
known it was so near would have
walked it. Why, amt been on the
cars an hour yet"
Nobody laughed at the old woman.
why, John" she said to a big,
strong, honest-faced man who came
to meet her, why did you fool me
about Bridgeport? l could have
walked it in couple Of hours"
Its forty miles, mother" he said
kissing her wrinkled face. Its the
cars that makes itseem so short"
Dear, dear" said the aged mother

FATE.

The sky is clouded, the rocks are bare,
The spray of the tempest Is white In air;
The winds are out with the waves at play,
And 1 shall not tempt the sea to-day.
The trail is narrow. the wood is dim,
The panther clings to the arching limb;
And the lions whelps are abroad at play.
And shall not join in the chase to-day.
But the ship sailed safely over the sea,
And the hunters came from the chase IN glee'
And the town that was builded upon rock
Was swallowed up in the earthquake shock.

Der 10th next as the day whereon cleo.
uons Tor new members of congress
snail take place to substitute those
whose terms of Office have expired.
Inc elections are to last six days and

new congress will meet in the Saliva
dor national theater on October
1890. General Ezeta has been named
as IA candidate for president. The CON
gress will elect new constitutional
president on October next.
General EZeta has also issued an.
other manifesto in which he justifies
his action in assuming command of the
troops and government of Salvador at
time when President Menendez was
assasslnated, and recapitulates the
cause, conduct and result Of the war.
General Ezeta concludes his manifesto
by saying that as long as he has life

fer with President Ezeta and have re-
piled that their respective govern
ments have formally recognized Presi-
dent Ezeta's provisional government.

bering 10, 900 men, is now in Guate-

WASHINGTON, August 8.-Amongt the
changes which the senate committee
made in the substitute for the Lodge
election bill, which was reported to
the senate, are the following: All
reference to that section of the revised
statutes which, it was claimed, pro-
vides for the presence of troops at the
polls was stricken out. The house-to-
house canvas provided for in the house
bill was stricken out, and the provis-
ion for drawing juries by commission
ers was also omitted. Penal offenses.
were simplified and made misdemean-
ors instead of felonies. The punish
ments were modified, the highest pun.
ishment imposed being three years.
Imprisonment and fine OF 81. 900 as
against Imprisonment for five years
and fine, as in the house bill. The.
Judge of the circuit court before whom
application for appointment is made
Tor supervisors is authorized to APP
point as supervisors any persons he
may see tit, not being confined in his
selection to the test furnished by the
chief of the supervisors. In cases
where ballots are cast in the wrong
box they are not to be counted unless
the tally sheet shows that the votes
for congressman do not equal the num-
Der OF names on the poll list. Then
enough of the votes SO wrongly cast
shall be added to the tally sheet to
make a total equal to the whole num-
Der OF votes shown to be cast. Where
election officers refuse to administer
oaths to voters applying therefor it is
provided In the bill that the supervis-
ors shall administer the oath. But no
effort shall be made to have the vote
thus refused cast, the object being
merely to preserve the testimony of
the application and refusal.

Believes I'm EIectrocution.

BUFFALO, N. Y, August S.-Dr.
Southwick, father of the electrical exc
cution law, said in an interview: II
feel just as l have always felt in this
matter. There is nothing against the
system, and the fact is there has been
good deal of senseless, sensational
talk about the execution. In fact q
party of ladies could sit in the room
where an execution of this kind was
going on and not see anything repul-
slve whatever. If the mistake of Or
derlng off the current so quickly had
not been made there would have been
none of this talk.
Il think Reminders nerve affected
those there about as much as anything.
III looked to me, though, as evidence
OF mental incapacity. He seemed to
be without fear and helped to adjust
the straps in way that was simply
astonishing. No, sir; do not consider
that this will be the last execution by
electricity. There will be lots of them.
1t has proven that the idea is correct.
and l think the law is a good one.
The execution was a success. Kemm-
Ter never knew what happened to him
ana died absolutely without pain"

Dependent Pension Facts.

. WASHINGTON, August 6.-The new
dependent pension law has been in
force but little over month and al
ready about 2so, 200 applications for
pensions have been filed under it. One
third of these pensions, an expert
said, are cases that were already on
file in the pension Office, but had TO be
filed again in accordance with the pro-
visions of the law One-half of the
other two-thirds will probably be re-
jected. Before the end of the year, -
the expert continued, Il expect to see
400, 900 applications for pensions filed
under the new law. and by the end OF
eighteen months there will be half a
million cases.

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.

Speaker Reed intimates that he will
not permit congress to adjourn till the
election bill has been passed.
The commissioner of the general
land Office has agreed to allow an addi-
tional clerk for the Neigh land Office.
Senator Henderson says that there
need be no fear of a change of the
boundary limits of the Grand Island
land district, as no changes are in con-
temptation.
Representative Dorsey has solved
the problem which has been perplex-
ing him over the appointment of a
pension board of examiners at Chad
ron by -naming Drs. Walter Clarey and
A. M. jackson.
Senator Henderson is so much en-
gagged that he has found it necessary
to decline the invitation to attend the
opening of the Grand Island sugar
works and soldiers and sailors re-
union, and will probably be unable to
attend the meeting of the Grand Army
of the Republic at Boston.
The senate committee has taken the
anti-lottery bill prepared at the post
office department and which was re-
ported favorably to the house last week.
Some doubt is expressed as to the con-
stitutional right of congress to interfere
with matter intrusted to the mails, and
the bill will be referred to sub-com-
mittee, consisting of Messrs Sawyer
Mitchell and Reagan for examination
and report.
Secretary Noble has addressed the
attorney general, inclosing a letter
from the commissioner of the general
land Office, tending to show fraud in
connection with the Usage cash entry
of Elizabeth Roberts for tract in tho
Topeka land Office and requests that
the attorney for the district of Kansas
be directed to institute suit to vacate
and set aside the patent issued to
Elizabeth Roberts, May 80, 1889.
The comptroller of the currency has
approved the selection of the following

The Wilson Original Package Bu.

WASHINGTON, Aug. The friends
of the Wilson original package bill are
making every endeavor day after day
to have that bill disposed of definitely.
With the present large attendance of
members they think they are str ng
enough to pass the bill and they dread
the delay which may bring with it the
usual absenteeism and threaten the tate
of the bill. On the other hand the op-
ponents of the bill are very busy. and
tonight they claim that they can de-
feat the conference report. They say
that at least three republicans-Adams
of Chicago, Leehlbach of New Jer sey
and Payson of Illinois--will sp eak
against the bill, and they believe that
sufficiently large vote will be cast
against it to secure another conference
and kill it so far as the form of the
Wilson bill is concerned. OF the best
information that can be gathered, h DIV
ever, it would seem that they are mis-
taken and that the conference report
will be adopted by safe majority.
