The Washin gtou correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says: Senator Faulkner, OF
West Virginia, was here Thursday looking
after the Martiusburg public building, which
was provided for az the last session Of Con-
gress. The Attorney General is required by
law % see that the government obtains a
perfect title to the property. The papers in
the case have been pending before the De
partmcnt of Justice for some time, and Sen
ator Faulkner's visit was for the purpose of
expediting matters so the building may be
commenced without further delay. Sena-
tor Faulkner was accompanied by Postmas-
ter w. H. II. Flick, of Martinsburg,a and their
explanations were sufficiently satisfactory to
satisfy the solicitor-general, and the neces-
sary papers will be at once drawn up and
forwarded to the supervising architect Of the
Treasury so he may begin work upon the
plans aud specifications Senator Faulkner
worked hard to get Congress TO appropriate
the money for the Martiusburg public build
ing, and he is interested in seeing the work
started The action of the Department Of
Justice to-day greatly facilitates matters,
and there is nothing now in the way to him

senator Faakner on Ohio and Fest
Firgtaia Politics.

Waslmgt0a Correspondent Of he Baltimore Sun.
Senator Faulkner, Of West Virginia, IS
sincere in his belief that Democrats in Ohio
acted wisely in advocating free silver. He
claims il viii help Governor Campbell out
side of the big cities in Ohio and Offset Nc
Kinley's personal popularity. The fight IN
the Buckeye State, says Senator Faulkner,
is going 10 be a desperate one, without
"nasty." The Republicans have put up the
strongest champion OF the protective theory
in the United States. He is personally pop
ular. besides being most fascinating talk
er. He will command the financial support
Of an of the great manufactures in the eoun-
try. and unseen hands from all sections will
be stretched ont to help him uphold the
principles upon which his tariff bill was
based.
Under these circumstance, and because
Of the overwhelming sentiment in the rural
districts, favorable to free silver, it was nee
essary to put a silver plank into the Ohio
platform. While it may no. please the peo-
pie Of the East, the people Of the West de-
mand it and there was no escape. It Is one
of the great questions Of the day, which has
got 10 be determined sooner or later, and a
majority of the Democrats in convention be-
lieye that now is the time to make the fight.
If the country is opposed to free silver the
Democratic party ought to know that fact
before the next presidential election.
In West Virgins, Senator Faulkner says,
the third party is making but little progress,
in the face Of the large and valuable crops
raised this year Many of the farmers who
were inclined to 90 off with the third party
crowd are back in the old lines again, get
ting the largest crops they have had since
the war While prosperity smiles upon
them they have no time to go off after new
movements, but they are contented to move
along in the good old Democratic pathway
with which they have been familiar all their
lives. /, is only when their crops fail and
they become discouraged that they turn from
the old to the new, in hope of assistance. II
is like a drowning man clutching at a
straw.
There has been plenty of rain, the yield
has been abundant aud the prices Of grain
are now better then they have been for some
time The prices Of the necessaries of life
have not been reduced, as was promised by
the trainers of the Mckinley bill; conse-
quenuy the farmers are just as much oppos-
posed to the high rates Of duty as ever and
they are disposed, so far as West Virginia is
concerned, to adhere to the principles OF
tariff reform as laid down by the Democratic
party

The Goods Sold Themselves.

The following interesting story is told by
an old travelling salesman who formerly
represented one of the large jewelry houses
in London, England His experience is
one which, to say the least, is unusual, and
will be fully appreciated by the represen-
tatives Of American houses who have never
enjoyed the good fortune of similar oc-
currence:
"In the spring Of 1875 carried line OF
goods which was unusually popular with
the trade" said the drummer, "and when
reached Edinburgh, Scotland, found it
impossible TO visit my customers as prompt
ly as desired. BY the middle of the af-
ternoon several jewellers had called on me
and urged me to come to their places dur
ing the day. By 6o'cl6ck was thoroughly
weary, and was congratulating myself
that would be able TO retire early and Sc
cure good nights rest, when customer
whom had overlooked gently touched
me on the shoulder and reminded me that
had neglected to visit him. He stated
that he desired to make heavy purchase,
and made an appointment with him at
my hotel for $50.
II Immediately repaired TO my room,
and settling myself In large, easy chair
fell asleep. / was awakened by light
pressure ON my arm. TO my surprise the
room was brilliantly lighted, and my cos
timer was sitting by my dda. My sample

Mapnetization of Stool Pletes.

The Stationary Engineer tells that
some experiments recently made in the
magnetization of steel plates gave some
curious results by showing that poles
could not be formed Mt right angles to the
plane Of the disk, but the poles formed
were arranged as il the magnetizing force
had acted along diagonal line across the
plate II the plate was square, but IL the
plate was oblong or a rectangle the poles
formed were parallel with the longer sides.
A number of these plates were placed to-
gether and magnetized. So long as they
remained together regular distribution
of magnetism existed. but when separated
the polarity indicated that the magnetism
was along the diagonal. These experiments
may serve to explain the irregular records
of some testing instruments that have been
used extensively.

have ever won on this side of the Atlantic.
Their triumph has been complete, and It
has come without effort other than that
which any conscientious artists would put
forth to give their hearers as much as they
had paid for. There has been no sensa-
tional advertising. The newspapers have
not been worked" The extensive space
given them has been wholly unsolicited.
1t has been merely filed with interesting
talk about two interesting people,
So satisfactory was their first American
season that they decided TO repeat the ex-
pertinent last fall and after thirty-three
weeks Of performances they will sail back
to England again June 3, having more than
repeated their previous pleasant expert
ences. Their financial and artistic success
has been simply wonderful. Everywhere
the theaters have been crowded when they
appeared. But what deserves to be more
particularly noted is that they have not
only captured our dollars, but they have
won our hearts. They have been eagerly
and heartily received socially to an extent
not recorded of any other actor or actress,
native or from abroad.
In almost every city they have been en-
tertained with lavishness that only
Americans are capable Of Favors Of all
sorts have been loaded upon them. Friends
in one city have found out where they were
going next, and written on to other friends
to have them taken care of there. Says
Mrs. Kendall: at is simply wonderful, the
delightful hospitality Of the Americans.
In Chicago met n lady socially who lived
in Cincinnati. She learned that we were
going to play there, and she actually went
home to prepare an entertainment for US"
In view OF all these things it Is not sur
prising that they have decided to come
again. Oct 9 they will once more open in
New York, and as Mr.. Kendall has taken a
London theater on long lease, beginning
with the season OF 1923, 1t will probably
be their last American tour.
They may be said to occupy a unique
place among actors. Mrs. Kendals maiden
name was Robertson, and in little book
which she wrote once she said:
Both my father and mother were on the
stage, so were my grandfather and grandmoth-
er, 30 were my great~grandfather and grent-
grandmother, 30 were my great aunts and uR-
cles, my simple aunts and uncies, my brothers,
my sisters, my nephews, my nleces. hardly
have a relation in the world that hasn't been
on tho stage.
She made her first bow to an audience
when she was three years old rs Little Eva,
in "Uncle Toms Cabin" From that time
she has risen, until in England she is known
as the "Matron of the Drama"
Mr.. Kendall has been on the stage thirty
years. In 1869 he was member of the
Haymarket Stock company, in London,
and during the year Madge Robertson
joined it. Within the twelyemonth they
were married. Since then they have prac-
tically never been separated, and their do
nestle life has been SO happy that it has
become something for which they ara az
famous as they are for their art. That
this should be so unusual among actors
and actresses as to cause remark is pity,
but it is true. In the very midst Of public
hfe's vast turmoil they have preserved a

sweet domesticity. and, luckily, we know
about it. The latter fact has given some
critics an opportunity to sneer at them and
accuse them of "parading their goodness"
which is unjust. OF course we know about
the Kendels lives because they are lived In
public, and to know that they are happy
does us good and doesn't hurt the Kendals.
Ifthey were unhappy the critics wouldn't
sneer at them for letting us know it, but
would rather help to spread the news, and
copiously pity them on paper Why not
rejoice with themS Somehow never
think Of them but it calls up pretty pict-

Birthday Rings.

Finger rings are worn in larger numbers
now than before in some years. A new
feature in these ornaments are the birth
day rings set with an appropriate stone
for the month in which the anniversary
day chances 30 fall. For instance, il ones
birthday occurs in April, the stone is a
diamond, the emblem of innocence; If one
first beheld the light Of day in May, then
she wears an emerald in token that she
will be q loved and happy wife; the pearl,
indicative, according to gem lore, of health,
wealth and long life, is the stone for June,
and so on through the twelve months of
the year. These birthday rings are set in
several ways, there being four styles for
each month. These are to be seen ut the
jewellers, in trays containing forty-eight
rings, with the sentiment of each months
gem written in gilt letters, which arrange
ment insures the purchasers securing tho
appropriate stone for the month of his or

During the unusual severity Of the past
winter in northern Europe tho Seine and
other French rivers were frozen over. and
on the return of milder weather small ice
gorges formed, much to the dismay of the
Frenchmen, unaccustomed as they were to
such formations, which in this country are
of almost annual occurrence. Nitro-glyce-

used to break up the ice, with fairly good
success.

The Cheap Fuel Problem.

Among the latest attempted solutions Of
the cheap fuel problem, says The CONNER
cial Advertiser, is the method of a German
inventor, who proposes TO manufacture
gas by dropping q stream OF crude petro-
leum through blast of cold air from a
force pump. The gas thus obtained will
be confined in a regular cylinder open at
one end, where it will be lighted. This
produces an intensely hot flame of several
feet in length. BY means Of this fame the
inventor proposes to heat boilers, and he
maintains that the heating Of large blocks
can thus be reduced very considerably.
