An item is going the rounds of the
State, presswhich startedin the Parkers-
burg Journal, to the effect that Demo-
cratic slate was "fxcd up" in that city
some weeks ago, Us follows: Mr.. Cam.
den is to be U. S. Senator, Hon. L.
Boyd Faulkner is to be Governor, Col.
I. S. Riley, who runs tho campaigns, is
to be Acknowledgement, and Col. r. P.
Chew is to have good state Office.
There is good reason to believe that the
rumor has some foundation. 1t is not
the first Camden slate that has been
fixed to the satisfaction OF the makers,
and when it is broken, as it surely will
be, twill simply be repetition OF his
tory.
Whatever is done in Mr.. Camden's
interest will serve to open old wounds
and We may expect to witness 4 Demo-
cratic monkey and parrot time such as
the one that afforded SO much amusc-
ment to the galleries in 1855. Senator

THEY HAVE A CLEW
To tho Robbers Who Held Up the Chicago
" lillwnul.cy Train.

0lilwnukco IRAN.
MILwArHEE,W Wis, Nov. 23.-The latest
possible clcw to the train robbers who
recently held up the Chicago, Milwau-
kec & st. Paul passenger train near
Western Union Junction is furnished
by the Milwaukee police. Tho day be-
fore the robbery two strangers pur.
chased at Il Milwaukee gun store n
quantity OF dynamite, together with
fuse and caps. As dynamite was used
in blowing open the express car the To-
cal authorities arc satisfied that the two
strangers are tho robbers. A local de.
tective with an employo OF the gun
store went to Western Union Junction
yesterday to look at the farm hand en-
ployed by farmer Worthington, who
has been under suspicion since it was
discovered that he wore the ovcrshocs,
the peculiar imprint OF which was in
the snow when discovered on tho morn
ing OF the robbery. The gun-store man,
however, failed to identify the tarm
hand. Still the local authorities are
satisfied that their clew may lead to the
Identification OF the robbers.

Let In the Edison Compnny,

Power Company, composed OF citizens
Of Wheeling, made fair, busincss.lke
proposition to the city, when it asked
for the privilege OF doing business here,
and last night tho Electric Light Com.
mission recommended to Council ita re.
lection. This Is in line with the action
OF the Council committee in the matter.
What tho now company asks is not
unreasonable. 1t is willing to pledge
itself to sell its plant to the city at n
price to DO fixed by arbitration when
the city is permitted togointo the light,
heat and power business on its own ac-
count, to place its wires underground,
and to render good and safe service
to the public. There is no good reason
why tho petition should be refused, and
yet there seems to no determined
effort to reject it.
The company making the request is
not foreign corporation or monopoly,
but is composed OF our own citizens
who ask to compete Tor business in the
community on the merits OF the SER
vice promised. In letting in the now
company Council would not sacrifice
anything in the line OF good public
policy. On the contary, it would BIO
doing thing which would meet with
popular favor. The people want COM
petition in the electrical business, and
they will be satisfied to have citizens OF
Wheeling do tho competing. Let the
Edison company come in on the reason
able terms it proposes.

TIE storm was kingyesterday through
out great portion OF the country. The
Geographic reports, owing to the dam
age done to the wires, are very mcagre,
and it is impossible this morning to
give the extent OF the destruction done
by the wind. Enough is known, how
ever, to indicate that it has been very
great. The greatest damage seems to
have been suffered along the Atlantic
coast, and it is probable that, when the
full reports are available, it will be
found that the destruction has been
enormous. Though points surrounding
Wheeling suffered considerably, tho city
happily escaped with slight injury,
and there Is in consequence cause for
much thankfulness.

has been answered so often. We feel no hcsita.

to note what it is going to do in regard

SPOONS OF BREAD.

How the Beyrout staff OF Life Serves Two
Purposes
Here comes the bread-seller. He Is
one of large class, and the fat, pan
cake-ilIe loaves that he has in his bas-
l<et show how the Beyrout people make
bread The same fiat cake, of varying
size and thinness- is everywhere the
form of bread in Palestine and Syria.
When fresh it is very sweet and palat-
able, but when old, much like shavings,
says traveller writing in st. Nicholas.
At some towns in Mount Lebanon the
loavcs are baked in circular form,
about two feet across, and almost as
thin as paper 1t is related that once n
foreigner. on eating his first meal in
the mountains, took one of these loaves
and spread il on his lap, thinking it was
some new style of napkin. Strange as
this seemed to the Syrian host. we can
hardly be surprised at the mistake, for
to our western eyes this thin, pliable
sheet looks far more like cloth than
bread.
Now, this kind of bread has one great
advantage, in that it does away with
the necessity of using spoons Those
sitting at dinner tear off n piece from
the loaf, fold it rs a cup, and then dip a
portion of food from the general dish in
the center of the table, devouring thus
with each mouthful both spoon and con-
tents.
The housewives of Beyrout enjoy n
touch of that convenient cooperation
that is proposed by certain reformers of
to-day; not that they take their meals
in palatial public dining-rooms; but they
do have public ovens, thus doing away
with some of the households private
gear"
The dough is fiattened out into disks
of the proper size, and the boys or girls
of the family put these on trays and
carry them to the nearest oven, where
they are soon baked on the smooth hot
slabs We cannot stop here to describe
the various and interesting processes of
bread making as they are practiced in
the villages of Lebanon or in the
Bedouin camp. Other things close at
hand crowd upon our attention. -.

Marriage in HeIiroIand.

The facilities for marriage in Heligo-
land have been greatly curtailed since
it has become a German possession.
Among other conditions both parties
must produce certificates of birth in
order to prevent Jews being married
there. All who are under twenty-five
must produce legally attested written
consent of parents, or, if these are dead,
a certificate of their death. Widows or
widowers must produce the death GER
tificate of the deceased wife or hus-
band and, If they have children, prove
that the property willed TO those child
rem is securely settled upon them. The
entire expense of marriage in the
island is about two hundred marks. In
spite of these conditions marriage in
Heligoland is much simpler and easier
affair than in Germany.

Don't Like Diah WAahIng.

OF the tens of thousands of INDECENT
italian women who have come to New
York within the last few years few
have sought to get a living by domestic
service. The fact that they cannot
speak our language makes them un-
desirable in households; and, besides
that, they are unframed in such duties
as are needed by American families
and know nothing of the art of house
keeping in the American way or of
kitchen work and cookery in the
American style. Several New York
families, however, who have procured
Italian domestics, give satisfactory ac-
counts of their experiences with them.
They say that the Italian young women
are quick TO learn, anxious to please and
very sure to be extremely polite. and
that if the mistresses who hire them
will only be patient with them for a
few months they will very likely find
them to be unsurpassed in the perform
ance of the duties of domestic service
