The Only Lady Engineer.

CLARKsDURG, ". VA, Sept. 3.-Tht
Cairo and Kanawha Valley Railroad, q
narrow line connecting with the Balti.
more d Ohio at Cairo, in this State
claims the distinction OF employing the
only female railroad engineer in the
United States. The lady's name is Miss
Ida Hewitt, and she is the daughter OF
Col. Hewitt, one Of the principal stock
holders of the road.
Miss Ida, who is a very beautiful and
accomplished young woman under twenty
years Of age, has always had a peculiar
fascination for machinery, and has spent
large portion of her time IN the shops OF
the company.
She finally became machinist of nc
mean ability, when she undertook the
task of running an engine on the road
end her success was so great that she is
now regu larly employed in that capacity
and makes her daily run with as much
regularity as the most veteran engineer.
Her engine is SAID to be a model of neat
ness and cleanliness, and she rarely misses
making schedule time. 1t IS understood
that she has been invited to run an engine
at the Wo.ld's Fair next year in Chicago

The Statesyille Disaster.

The coroner's jury exoneratsd the com.
pauy from blame 50 far as the accident
was concerned, but accused the company
of "gross negligence" in leaving the
monkey wrench and crowbar with which
the mischief was dono ain an open shed
accessible to every passerby."
A railroad company should not lead
men into temptation, says the jury. A
man must not leave q razor on his table
lest some culprit find it and commit muir
der Herewith F; and, for the same reason,
railroad company is guilty of gross
negligence if it tempt some man by leav-
ing a monkey-wrench and crowbar
within his reach to tear up the track and
dcraiI a train.
What bosh. IF the accident at States
Vile was due to the fact, as the jury
ayerrcd, that some scoundrel maliclously
tore up the track, then of course the COM
pany is in no sense to blame for the dis
aster.-DanrIle Register.

Opening of the Legislative Cam
Communicated.


Communicated.
The opening here of the legislative
campaign with speeches from H. st. Geo
Tucker and NJ. L. Walton, Esq, was q
very tame affair in which tie people al
large seemed to take little interest, there
being less enthusiasm manifested thar on
any like occasion within the last decade
Whether this was due to a determination
on the part of the people not to be led ex'
cept by one of their own rank and lille, q
to the utter disregard Of the speakers fol
the real issues of the day is more thar
we can say, but certain it is, as one farm
or said, Mr.. Tucker spoke the piece thai
be had prepared for 1892 instead of The
one suited to the occasion, aud it is equal
" certain that it lacked sound argument
He drew all of his conclusions from sup
posed instead of actual facts ; and from
his abundant and extravagant superlative'
and his tragic demeanor on the rostrum

would have taken him for some effusiyC
sophomore airing himself during vacation
We did not hear Mr.. Z. through, but We
have not been abe to learn that he made
any reference to State issues at all. Hi:
coming here was evidently intended as a
means of assembling tho people to give
Mr.. Walton a chance to tell them how
near he comes to being typical farmer
the solution of which question Mr. W,
seemed to think the all important issue OF
this campaign and he wrestled With II
heroically. 1t as really amusing to see
how entrgetically lie labOred to prove
that he was a bigger and better farmer,
and more thoroughly interested in the
farmers welfare than is old Timothy
Havseeds himself. But brother Timothy
remarked something about that speech
being "rather thin" ga little mellow but
not ripe" Besides that, said Hayseeds,
che has not got the ear marks OF
the fold; he can't come in" Why
Mr.. Walton may as well sit cross
legged in his Office and call himself tail
OF, or hire a man to kill calf and call
himself butcher as to lay claim to be-
ing a farmer. We lave been fed on such
chaff too long to be further fooled by it.
The farmer plows and sows, reaps and
mows. When did Mr.. w. ever do this
What does he know of the practical needs
of the farmer? Mr.. W. said Il have sew
eral farms" We're they earned by toiling
as a farmer or purchased with the pro-
ducts of the farm The writer of this
thinks as well Of lawyers as of any other
class, bat be also thinks it absurd for a
lawyer to pose as a farmer. Mr.. Walton
said nothing about roads, schools, taxa
ton or any one of the matters IN favor OF
which the farmers all over the land in
National, State and district assemblies
have declared. Let him mention one
thing that either our State Senator or
Delegate (both Democratic Lawyers did
for the farmers In the last legislature,
and we may give car to him a little
further on the line of discussion(D which
he seems to have marked ont for himself.

Cleanses the Whole System

Daring the last hall century there has
been n wonderful development in what is
known as sanitary science. Ii is a science
that looks to the prevention of diseases
in communities through the medium of
cleanliness, and 1t comweuds itself most
urgently to the common sense of the peO-
pie. Meanwhile it should be BONE iu
mind that the human system stands IN
need Of sanitation, and requires even more
care than the municipal body, 1t is pre-
csely here that 5. s S. takes up the
work of The sanitary scientists. II cleauses
the whole system puriies the blood, dis
infects the channels through which it
flows, and destroys the germs of disease.
1t is a harmless medicine, ami yet most a
nowerfnl one. Il is natures tome remedy.

pany. at WATERFOWL, II. Y, has fairy
astonished its inventor, manufacturers,
and agents, IN the rapidity with which II
has come to the front as the faYOrlte

People have, for years, supposed that
no more improvement could be made in
this "famly friend but that this was
possible is abundantly proved by the New
High-Arm Davis. They are in greater
demand, where their merits are known
than any other sewing machine. They
are so easily understood so light running ;
so sure to stay in perfect order, and so
cheap, considering the quality, that we
advise all persons wishing the very best
sewing machine ever made, to obtain a
"Dayls" The Company fully warrants
every machine for five ycaTs-and well they
may, for the machine in all of ITS parts,

that is cften ont Of order; thai is not

wanted, is o thing Of neither pleasure nor
profit. Three-lourths of the time requlr-
I'd in making garwent IS ordinarily con-
sumed in basting the work. no time Is
thus wasted with this machine, as, by the

The theory is that clouds or artificial

rain be tested as a means for bringing
the clouds closer to the earth and OF ere
ating a sort of fog, which will be a pre-
yentive against the ravages Of frost.

We find the following letter in the Ma
masses Gazette. Il will be Of interest to
our readers:
RICHMOND, Va Aug. II, 1891
Dear Slr.-Your letter Of the 18th has
been received. In reply lave to say,
the last act on the subject provides that
the pay of teachers shall not he governed
by the average daily attendance, pro
Vi led the average exceeds ten.
l have ruled that it is the intention oil
this law to forbid keeping any school
omen when the average falls below ten
furthermore, that boards have authority
to require any average they may fix be-
tween ten and twenty, but that the pay
of teachers must be fixed without any re-
gard to the average. In other words, if
a teacher makes an average fixed by the
board. then he Is entitled TO full pay, G.
per his contract.
At one timc-lud until the Code of
1887 was passed upon by the General As
sembly-tho law did not authorize any
discrimination in the pay Of teachers H.
the same grade IN the same district. The
law is found in the present edition Of the
school law, but is not operative. So that,
as Institutes furnish teachers oppor-
tunlties for improvement, | hold that
boards have the right to pass such regu-
lation as that you reproduce from the
records Of your board.
Very truly yours,
JONI I. MASSEY, Sup't.

has been produced in the United States,
although Mr.. Mckinley promised that in
six months after the passage of bis bill
we would be in fair way OF making our

dentaliy overlooked the announcement
which cane from California within the
last few days that the owners of the mine
in that state-the TeleSca, we believe is

desired quantity. If our esteemed Pitts
burg contemporary means to find fault
with the on-establshment of tin plate
factories we think 1t is very unreasonable
for plants of that sort cannot be set up in
day, nor can provision be made at short
notice to supply the skilled labor that is
required. There is not the slightest
doubt, however, that the prospect for a
Furnishing tin plate manufacture in the
United States is exceedingly promising. -
