The Second Assistant Postmaster
General has instructed Postmaster Oar
rah, says the Bellaire Independent, to ad-
vertise for bids for mail messenger be-
tween this city, Benwood, Wheeling,
Martins Ferry and Bridgeport, the OBJ
iect being to give better mail service
between this city and the pointsnomed.
The department must have been
wrongly informed, or else misunder-
stood what is wanted here. II the mail
is handled properly from Wheeling to
Bellaire, orfrom Bridgeport or Martins
Ferry to this city, and vice versa, the
mail service at present ought to be sat
isfactory. But there might be come
thing gained by carrier from here to
Benw0od. The accommodation between
the other points will be quite expen-
sive, we should judge.

THE SUIT CLUB GUILTY.
It's Agents Convicted in the Cir
cult Court
or OPERATING A LOTTERY GAME.
The Courts Instructions to the Jury
Very ExpIicIt..-The Defendants so
Confident of Their Innocence that
They Make no Fight

In the Circuit Court yesterday
George E. shippey and George Kemp,
the Agents OF the American Suit Club
Company of Pittsburgh, who were in
dicted for operating lottery, were put
on trial to a jury.
Prosecutor Howard represented the
State and Colonel Arnett and Samuel
Boyce James McF. Carpenter, of Pitts
burgh, appeared for the defendants.
George Otte, George Baird, Platoff
Zane, Policeman Rich Wilkie and 9TH
ers testified as to the method OF operat-
ing the clubs. otte was the first man
in Wheeling to draw a suit, and his
clothes therefore cost him just 81.
Messrs. Baird and Zane had also drawn
suits after paying in few dollars, but
have not vet received them. Officer
Wilkie paid in s. or So and then quit
paying without receiving suit. The
scheme was shown to be to organize
clubs Of thirty.eight members each,
each member paying$l per week. One
suit is furnished each week to a MEM
Der, drawn by lot, and he thereupon
ceases to pay and anew member is TAX
ell in his place. The theory Is that the
suits are worth $Ss each, aud that for
each suit sold the company gets SSS
while each member stands chance. OF
securing his suit for any sum from 81
up to S3s.
The LAWYERS for the defendants were
so confident OF the Innocence OF their
clients, apparently, that they offered no
evidence, and the case was submitted
to the Jury about 4 o'clock.
Judge PAUL instructed the Jury that
any scheme which held ont to person
chance TO obtain something at less
than its value, was a lottery, notwith-
standing all who went into the scheme
were guaranteed the full value OF the
money they paid; and that II the de-
PENDANTS held out to patrons the posi-
bility of obtaining for 81, or q few dol
lars, suit of clothes worth SSS, they
we're guilty Of operating lottery.
The Jury was out about q halt hour
and rendered verdict OF guilty as
charged in the indictment.
A motion for a new trial was made.
There is little doubt that the case will
90 to the Supreme Court OF Appeals.
There is no decision on record in West
Virginia on this subject, but Judge
Paull's instructions we're in line with
all the decisions in other States. 1t
will be news to almost everybody that
the law so closely defines what is a lot
terry.
Mary johnson, indicted for unlawful
cohabitation, were also set for trial yes
terday. About O'Clock jury was i'm
paneled and sworn, Prosecutor Howard
having elected to try Schrey first. He
simply submitted the case without evi-
dence, and the Jury brought in a verdict
Of not guilty without leaving the box.
Mrs. sctfey, wife of the accused, was
the prosecuting witness, and she and
her husband having become reconciled,
she refused to testify against him, SO
that the case necessarily fell through.
In the case OF James 1enehaE IS. Mrs.
Emblem, the motion for a new trial was
oyerruled.

crock OF AGES"

Rock OF Ages, cleft tOr me-
ThoughtlcSsly the maiden sung
Fell the words unc0nsciously
From her gIrlish, gleetul tongue
Sang as little children sing
Sang as sing ths birds In June;
Fell the words like light leaves down
On the current Of the tune
"Ecck Of Ages, cleft ior me,
Let me tide myselflu thee"
Let me hide myself in Thee
Felt her soul no need to hide
Sweet the song as song could be,
And she had no thought beside.
All the words unheedingIy
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not that they might be
On come other lips prayer
Rock OF Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
- Rock Of Ages, cleft for me-"
Twas woman sung them now,
Pleadingly and praycrlully,
Every voTd her heart did know
Rose the song as storm-tossed bird
Beats the weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable 4 prayer
&c Rock Of Ages, cleft Tor me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
- Rock Of Ages, cleft for me-.
Lips grown aged sung the hymn,
TTus;ingiy and tenderly,
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim
Let me hide myself in Thee -
Trembling though the voice and low.
Han the sweet strain peacefully,
Like a river in its flow:
Sang as only they can sing
Who liie's thorny path have prest
Sang as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
- Rock OF Ages, cleft TO- me,
Let Inc hide myself in Thee,
" Rock Of Ages, cleft for me-
Sung above the coffin lid
Underneath all restfully,
All life's joys and sorrows hid
Never more. q stOrm-tossed soul
Never more from wind to tide,
Never more from billo7S' roll
Wilt thou need thyself to hide.
Could the sightlesS, sunkcn eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair.
Could the mute and stiheued lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Still, aye still, the words would he
Let me hide myself in Thee"

Watching the Clock.

AS the Christian Union says, there
is a deal of common sense in this story
lately told of Edison, whether he said
it or not. A gentleman went to the
great electrician with his young son,
who was about to begin work as Office
boYln a well-known business house.
The father asked Edison for a motto
which the boy might take 10 heart in
his struggle for promotion and success.
After moments pause, Edison said,
laconlcally, "Never look at the clock !'
Edison meant, we take it, that the
man who is constantly afraid he is gong
to work overtime or over hours doesn't
stand a chance OF competing with the
man who clears up his desk, no matter
how long it takes. The carpenter who
drops his hammer, uplifted above his
head, when the whistle blows, is likely
to remain second, clasG workman ali
his life. The capentcr who stays
fifteen minutes to Fl 1ish 'jcb" IS work
ing toward a shop of his own.

DRY THINE EYES.

Dry thine eyes, love ; cease thy weeping,
For thy boy will soon be sleeping.
Sale within the angels keeping
Dry thine eyes.
Hold my hand the tide Is flowing,
Down the stream my boat Is SOing,
On the banks the kline are lowing,
In the skies.
See, my love, the shadows creeping,
Round my bed while am sleeping;
List / hear sound Of weeping.
Now it dies.
Raise me up, the day is breaking
Streaks Of gray proclaim its waking;
Sleep my weary eyes torsaklng.
In the light,
haise me up that l may, nearer,
Watch the shades becoming clearer,
Ebbing life seems growing dearer,
But my sight
Fails again, the sombre iretting
Changes now to golden netting,
See the MONDAY sun is setting.
Love, goodnight.
Unto God my soul is winging F;
/ can hear the angels singing.
Joy bells overhead are ringing,
Dry thine eyes.

COVERING.

THE MODERN Statesman HEAD
COVERING.
In the sign language OF the deaf
mutes the motion that signifies a
man is a movement of the right
hand toward the crown OF the head,
one OF a mans most distinguishing
characteristics being that he con-
stantly takes his hat off to bow. But
old residents i'll Washington insist
that the statesman Of to day doesn't
take his hat off with half the grace
that distinguished the bowing OF the
great men OF former times. There
are still to be found old men who
can describe the grand manner of
Daniel Webster when he raised his
hat. As he walked up Pennsylvania
avenue people used to make way for
him, and when any one bowed to
him he would return the salutation
with grace and dignity that filled
every beho!der with admiration.
Have we not been told by historians
that there was a Webster cult at the
capital during the greater part of
his public career3 Not least among
the causes of this worship was the
magnificent manner in which he
bowed. Henry Clay, too, was noted
for his bow. 1t was his MANNER,
we are told, to turn slightly toward
the person whom he was saluting
and raise his hat with a graceful
curve.
Some of the statesman of to day
would find it extremely difficult to
make a graceful bow, not simply be-
cause they don't know how to bow,
but because they wear hats that can
not be taken off gracefully The
soft felt hat that is so popular with
many Americans is called sometimes
after the great Hungarian patriot,
the Kossuth hat. Kossuth was
nigh man in his day, but he did
not come to this country until 1859.
and the hat that is called after him
was certainly with us in modified
form long before that. 1t is hardly
fair to lay its introduction at his
door. Whatever its recommended
tions may be as an article OF apparel
that is comfortable, it is certainly
not dignifed hat, and to bow with
it gracefully is a thing almost lmpos-
sibie to do. You cannot catch it by
the brim, for the brim is without
stiffness, and so you are obliged TO
clutch it by the crown and to get 1t
back into its proper shape on your
head as best you are able. A fine
sample of one of these hats is worn
by ex-senator Malone, of Virginia.
1t is of light yellow shade, and Its
broad brim is pulled down well over
his eyes. 1t is the species of hat
that is rarely seen in the North, but
it's more frequent in the South and
West. 1t is worn more by the
planter and the Southern politician
than by any other class, although ii
is found in the towns of the far West
among the lawyers and miners.
When it is good hat-and General
Mahone's is always a good-lt cost
Il high price and Is extremely soft
and flexible. However tough" il
may make you look, it is, neverthe
less, delightful to wear. Manone
wears his hat on the side Of his
head, and it contributes very ma
terially to the remarkable appearance
of the little politician from Virginia

button on the top as mark Of rank.
On grand occasions some OF them
have an enormous gem in the middle
OF the front of the cap. The Turk
1sh diplomats, also, when they are in
uniform wear fezes, and the Japanese
and Persians put on caps when they
wait upon the President. The mem.
bers of the Corean Legation, how
ever, wear more hat than any other.
1t is made of horse hair, and in shape
is more like one of the old Dutch
broad trimmed hats that the citizens
OF New Amsterdam are represented
as having worn more than anything
else. Sometimes the members of
the Corean Legation appear in hats
that have wing attachments, SO that
the effect from the front or rear is
not unlike that Of a yacht sailing
wlng-and-wing before the wind. Do
the Coreans, like Americans with
unfortunate habits who have batter
ed old silk hats, sleep in their hats!
Never by any accident is Corean
seen without one OF these horse hair
hats on. When he go to see the
President he puts on one of extra
size. 1t is fastened securely to his
head by broad band, and it fits
closely to the head. Supposing by
chance Corean takes his hat off
in the evening and INDUCES too
deeply in the cup that inebriates, how
does he get his glove. fitting hat on
in the morning? To the American
mind there are disadvantages in
being Corean. This enormous hat
may be impressive ard dignited, but
there are times when it is nuisance.
The American girls who goes to the
theatre with an Opaque bu.hel basket
on her head might take lesson from
the Coreans, however, for whenever
they go to the theatre in Washington
they take box.
BREWSTER'S HAT AND WEBSTER's.
The last of the old beaver hats
disappeared when Attorney General
Brewster went back to Philadelphia
at the end Of President Arthur's
term. It was a magnificent hat in
its way, and, take it for all in all, we
ne'er shall look upon its like again.
The brim was nearly fiat and mod
crate width. The crown was shaped
like Uncle Sans. Altogether, it
looked very much like Uncle Sans
hat. 1t was of delicate fawn color,
or more nearly the dun color of
well bred mastiff dog. Mr.. Brewster
was very proud of this hat, and
when he came out of the Depart
ment of Justice and stood on the
sidewalk, just before he got into that
magnificent old glass coach Of his,
he was sight well worth gazing at.
He knew how to take his hat off
gracefully, too, with a fine old
fashioned flourish.

ADVICE TO LADY GARDRNERs.-Now plant schemes for summer travel. Rake in your husbands loose change and cut back his superauous expenses. Cultivate hectic fiushes and sick spells, showing the need of fresh air and of transplanting to the seaside. Prepare for summer dresses and and get ready your guide books. Saratogas should be brought out and overhauled. Water the family doc- tor with generous fees and cultivate his ideas that the European travel treatment would best suit your case. Begin to mulch your husband with kindness and flattery. Itsmay encourage the growth of his liberality. When he is ripe for pick ing he should have more fondling and be put into the sunlight of warm affection. This should be kept up until he begins to drop big leaves from his check book. When you have got all you can, turn him out of the pot and throw him into corn CT to dry Philadelphia Tinaes.
