Literary Notes.

The illustrs ons Of Worth costumes
now being puIishei in Harpers Bazaar
are attracting .ide attention not Only on
account Of thu 'r value as representations
Of fashionable costumes, but because of
their beauty as works of genuine art.
They have the pose and finish of the
finest wood ergravings, and Present quite
contrast to the ordinary conventional
fashion-cuts whose only recommend ition
is utility. 1t may not be generally known
that these Illustrations are drawn and en-
,,raved in Paris at great expense by the
most accomplished arti-t' especially for
the Bazlr. Their publication in the peri
odical may be regarded as one Of the
most noteworthy of recent journalistic
enterprises, AM as another proof Of the
uni ing progressive spirit of the great
publishing house which controls it.

Prof. t. c. Atkeson.

A correspondent sends the New
DOMINION the following referring to
Prof. L. c. Atkeson, lately elected
Professor of Agriculture in that de-
partment of the University.
1T. G. Atkeson, L. L. b., Phi. B., is
graduate of the Kentucky Univer-
sity. He practiced law for short
time in Putnam county, this State,
but didn't like the profession and
after year or so, discontinued and
went to farming. Heis perhaps one
of the closest readers and one of the
deepest thinkers in the State. Has
been member of the granger organ
ization for years and is regular
correspondent for several grange pa
pers and other farm journals. One
Of the things he boasts of is that be
is regular Jerry Simpson" hay
seeder, and has made great sue
cess in farming in spite of low prices
of farm products and high tariff
Atkeson is Democrat but never
loses an opportunity to denounce any
one who attempts to build themselves
by expressing the people. He is
very energetic and gets through
with great deal of literary work in
connection with his duties of man
aging large farm. / don't think
the Regents could possibly have
made better choice for the new
chair of Agriculture and / am sure
he will continue the practical with
the scientific and make anccess as
an instructor"

In the Money Drawer.

The money drawer on the steamer
Adam Jacobs is roomy affair built
with an eye to storing away the
sheckles of the summer excursion
list and when the clerk pulled it out
Sunday morning he was paralyzed
with establishment for, nesting with
in an eight by ten apartment in
the back part, used for depositing
greenbacks, purring with content
ment and looking up at him with
eyes the sparkle of which dimmed
the.lustre of his first water shirt stud
was, Capt. Cox's mascot, beautiful
house cat and around her in as easy
position as the cramped quarters
would permit were five newly born
tiny kittens. A hole in the back
part of the drawer furnished an en-
trance for the feline and between
Pittsburg and Morgantown the proud
mother and her brood furnished a
source Of amusement for the passen-
gers especially the ladies who pro-
nounced them '.just too cute to live''
nevertheless the Captain will not
consign them to watery grave and
they still remain strictly in it, and
will be reared as born, amid wealth
and luxury.

A Good Suggestion.


RANDALL, w. VA, Aug AL will add
my voice to your proposition for the
erection of a summer hotel at or near
Morgantown. 1t ought Gbe on the West
Side close to the Sulphur Spring, but
could be built opposite and lead the Sui
phur water across the river. 40 years
ago this spring had quite a local notorie-
ty.
DR.. Carr then living in Morgantown
sent some of the water to Baltimore and
had it analysed. Upon the strength Of
this analysis, DIR. Carr and VIM. A. Ham
way contemplated building hotel and
Sanitarium at this spring, but the war
came on and defeated the project. As
We now have the University at Morgan
town, with all appliances to analyze this
water, why then not have il analysed
and if valuable let Morgantown have the
benefit of it? Tradition tells OF some re-
markable cures by it some IS or 40 years
ago.
This spring may be equal to the Web
ster Springs in Webster county and II 80
with the advantages Of railroad and river
to Morgantown and with one Of Morgan
towns physicians to prescribe and with
suitable buildings and accommodations,
thousands OF visitors would come TO-
Morgantown and not only Morgantown
but the surrounding country would be
| benefited

Some Extraordinary Bargains In Fine
Dress Suits.

Mr.. F. X. O'Kelly, the well known
merchant tailor, offers now to sell
any suit in the house until Septem-
Der 1st at the actual cost of goods
and labor for making them up.
There are many patterns on his
shelves of the finest French cassi-
meres, cheviots and cloths, as every
one knows he only buys the best.
No better workmanship is turned
out anywhere than comes from his
establishment. Every one further
knows that Mr.. O'Kelly's word is as
good as his bond and in making the
above offer he means just what he
says. 1t is seldom such an offer is
made and it will pay to take advan-
tage of it whether you need to buy
or not. He has placed orders for a
big lot of new stock and takes this
method of clearing the present
stock in order to make room for the

Thrown From a Horse.

Saturday about ten O'Clock A. NJ.
as Aaron Henry was passing along
the road South of the Suspension
bridge in West Morgantown he
found Frank Venette, aged thirteen
years, lying in the middle of the
road senseless and the blood flowing
from an ugly wound in his head.
Mr.. Henry carried the boy into
Henry L. Cox's residence and DIR.
ii. N. Mackey was summoned. The
boy was revived and when able to
talk said that he was riding a
horse to water and flock of par
tridges flying up the animal jumped
and he was thrown off. A slight
conclusion of the brain was produc-
ed but at this writing he is doing
very well, and will be himself in a
few days. Venette's parents are dead
and Mr.. Cox took him to raise some
two or three years since.

Kicked By a Horse.

After stabling his timber team al
Jimtown Saturday evening William
Smith in passing behind one of the
horses received kick in the back
which knocked him down and the
horse, powerful animal, then kick
ed him on the right arm, in the left
temple and on the forehead when he
was rescued by parties nearby, from
his perilous position. DIR. James p.
Fitch was summoned and dressed
the wounds after which Smith was
taken to his home in Greenmont
The nature of the wounds make it
impossible to tell how seriously he
is hurt but he is doing as well as
could be expected and it is thought
will recover. Bill, as he is famil-
iarly known, is good, clever hard
working man, and has the sympathy
of the community.

to the readers Of the NRw DOMINION that
there never has been any personal or po-
litical differences between the author OF
g lie cut from whole CLOTH" which APP
peared in last weeks New DOMINION, and
myself. Better things ought to be ex-
pected OF the President OF the Board OF
Commissioners, than playing the part OF
a calumniator. We are not aware as to
how the author OF an article, 80 full OF
calumny, can find it in his heart TO treat
any one gentlemanly, either in or out OF
court. am authorized to say that only
part of the facts concerning this bridge
were SGT forth in my article of the l4th.
| am requested to state that should an
examination Of the work prove it TO be
a better job than represented by me, the
Board of Commissioners can have q free
dinner at the Ridgway House. Gentle
men, let us know when you will come.

The skinner Picnic at Gypsy Grove,


The Skinner Picnic at Gypsy Grove.
The picnic given last Saturday at
Gypsy Grove by Mr.. G. L. Skinner,
proprietor of the Hough House, to
the commercial travellers and officers
and business men of Fairmont was
the biggest thing of the kind that
ever took place hereabouts, and was
the first thing of the kind that was
ever gotten up by single individual
of our town. About $50 persons
were present. Before leaving for the
Grove the big party formed pro-
cession, and, headed by the Locust
Avenue band, paraded our streets.
The special train provided by Mr..
Skinner was started at 11:45. The
day was pleasantly spent by all, it
would seem, for after returning here
the party presented Mr.. Skinner
handsome gold watch. Mayor I.
w. Fleming made the presentation
speech. This was wholly surprise
to Mr.. Skinner and he was unable
to respond, having called on another
to do so.
All we have talked to about this
picnic say it was most enjoyable
occasion, and ever since the writer
has been regretting that he could
not be present, feeling that he miss
ed great deal. 1t is said the din
ner was very fine, having been gotten
up deliberately and in great abund-
ance. In short, both eatables and
drinkables were such as would have
pleased the most fastidious. The
party was given supper at the hotel,
and thus the days pleasure ended.
