One Hundred Thousand.

Ohio county, w. Va, is engaged il
litigation with the Wheeling Bridge ant
Terminal Company. The county agreed
two years ago to pay the company
100000 when a union bridge across thE
Ohio at Wheeling was built. This sun
was paid. 1t was agreed that $4,000
should be paid when a new ruilroad from
the Ohio end of the bridge to Bowerston
Ohio, should have been completed. The
company has traffic arrangement with
the w. and L. E. railroad which reaches
Bowerston, and now asks for the money

Close Shave.

Mr.. Alex. Barrett was driving horse
and buggy along the c., L. & w. railroad
near Ridgeway's Grove, Saturday. Com
ing to a crossing, he waited until one
train had passed, and drove on the track.
Another train dashed around a curve
near by, and caught the rear of the
vehicle. Mr.. Barrett jumped out, and
was unhurt. The horse also escaped in.

Polo grounds, who could not have been
more interested in the game if the fate of
the nation was at stake. 1t is rather diff
ticult to determine the reasons for this
apathy. Undoubtedly the mistakes and
quarrels of last year have had much to
do with the indifference with which the
public looks upon its aforetime favOrites.
Then the changes that have taken place
in the teams, have had something to do
with it. Men who have been accustom-
ed to yell for johnnie" or Buck" don't
like the idea OF seeing their favorite play
ers in opposing teams. The sentiment of
hero worship is still strong within us.
1t is safe to predict, however, that base
ball will always be our national game,
and the favorite outdoor pastime of the
American public. There is dash and
spirit in the game which appeals peeuli-
arly to the American temperament A
successful cricket player may have as
much skill and endurance as a good all
round base ball player. 1t is even pOssi-
BILE to admire the fine plays in the no
BILE English game. Foot ball is exciting
enough, but does not admit of brilliant
strokes that appeal to the spectators.
But there is nothing but base ball that
will make man dance on his seat, turn
red in the face and yell like a COmanche
Indian over home run or a three bag
ger. The base ball crank falls asleep over
cricket, and considers foot ball mo
game"

As a specimen of the cosmopolitan
character of New York, was offered an
opportunity the other day of inspecting
a collection of bank notes in the possess
ion of a gentleman who has probably
more business with the foreign element
in our population than any other one
man. There were specimens of English,
French, German, Austrian, Italian, Rus
sian, South American, and Chinese, cur
rency. The European notes differed
from our own principally in coarseness
of execution and the poor quality of the
paper on which they were printed. They
looked easy to counterfeit. The notes of
the various South American Republics
bore strong resemblaee to our own both
in size and design, except that cinnamon
brown and blue were the prevailing col
ors. The Chinese currency is in red,
white and yellow paper, with gilt letter
ing and gorgeous little hand-drawn de-
vices. They bear general resemblance
to washing bills, but was assured that
they were as good as gold in the flowery
kingdom. The Austrian bill has on the
back an extract from the law against
counterfeiting as warning to evil dOers.
On the whole the collection was extreme
ly interesting as showing how many diff
ferent nationalities exchange their mon
ey on our shores, and also as an evidence
of the fear in which European govern
ments are held to make such easily cOun-
terfeited currency legal tender. w. F.

THE CLOSING DAYS.
The Institute Ends After Successful
Term.
Officers for the Ensuing Year are Elected.
Expressive Resolutions are Adopted,
and Good-Byes Said

The Teachers Institute went on a:
usual last week. One name was added
to the roll-that of Miss Lucy Arrick
Washington, D. C.-making the list round
out total of 100.
The election on Wednesday afternoon
resulted in the choice of the following
officers: President, w. D. Porterfield
First Vice President, J .. Dixon; Second
Vice President, II. 5. Israel; Third Vice
President, w. 5. Wright; Secretary. Mrs
Jessie NJ. Carroll; Assistant Secretary
Rena Ferrell; Corresponding Secretaries,
W. L. Barre, E. E. Lashley; Treasurer,
p. T. Anderson; Executive Committee,
Ida Anderson, E. L. Workman. Mr.. p.
T. Anderson is also er oficio, a member
of the Executive Committee. The elect
ion gives complete satisfaction. The
officers elected come from the younger
element, though they have the experience
of several years. They are energetic, full
of resource and are standing guarantee
that next years Instisute will be sue
cessful The majority of them, too, are
from the vicinity of this place, and will
be for that reason better able to work
up the Institutes interests.
On Thursday there were classes, though
both teachers and students were at the
Harvest Home picnic, in numbers. Glass
work ended Friday at noon, the afternoon
being devoted to business, and farewells.
After the vigorous singing of America,
the resolutions presented below, were
read.
Remarks were made by MessrS. ]. e.
Taggart, C. U. Patterson, E. F. Barnes,
and others. All expressed themselves as
delighted with their stay in town.
The report of the Treasurer was then
heard. 1t showed that the Institute is in
a sound financial condition. After the
payment of all bills, there will be money
left to start with next year.
Prof. Sparks then made fitting and
pleasing farewell talk. Miss Tappan was
called upon, and responded feelingly.
Prof. T. p. Harris was also asked to
speak, and complied.
Goodbye is always sad word. Asso
citation sends out from the heart little
tendrils of sympathy and affection, that
twine round and ronnd other hearts, and
intertwine with one another. Goodbye
tears those heart vines, and uproots them.
1t is like frost, or rude hand. 1t kills
where there was life 1t withers what
was green, and vital. But the wound
heals, where the root was. The cicatriee,
more or less deep, remains, and the heart
is SCARED all over with them.
There being nothing further before it,
the Institute of 1891 was adorned with
out day.

TO PLEASE ENGLAND.

The Presidential campaign, which is
now opening, will be watched with the
keenest interest abroad. Americans un-
derstand very well whose nomination
will best please English politicians.
There is one American whom Great
Britain loves, and another whom she
fears, and her love and her dread are
placed as they are for equally good if
equally selfish reasons.
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
would be hailed with acclamations, be-
cause in him England recognizes q
statesman who, without reserve, has
consecrated his energies to the great
and worthy work of giving to English
manufacturers monopoly of the Ameri-
can market. The nomination of Mr..
Blaine is the one event most dreaded in
foreign free trade circles, because in him
every Englishman sees the foremost
champion Of protection when that policy
was in danger, and the author of the
reciprocity policy which so seriously
menaces British ascendancy in South
American markets.
To please our "kin across the sea-"
Americans should nominate and elect
Mr.. Cleveland; but to prosper under an
administration distinctively American,
guided in all things by an eye single to
the promotion Vi American interests,
the country will look rather to man of
Mr.. Blaine's sturdy style of patriotism,
whether he be Blaine himself or Har-
rison or Mckinley. ~

GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

The time in Judge Rising's court in
Denver yesterday was consumed in re-
ceiving testimony from Mrs. Z. p. Wor-
rell, Jr., and several friends of the Wor-
rell family. The facts brought out were
that Mrs. Barnaby and the mother of the
witness were taken sick after drinking
some whiskey toddy that the former
mixed, and that few days later Mrs.
Barnaby died. IL was also shown that
the bottle of whiskey which. it is al
legged by the prosecution, contained the
poisoned whiskey remained all night in
Mrs. Worrell's carriage where any evil
disposed person might have secured and
tanpered with it.
There was great deal of irrelevant
testimony introduced and conversation
repeated, Notwithstanding the protesta-
tions of the counsel for the defense
against such line of conduct.
Question by the prosecution-Did Mrs.
Barnaby say who she thought sent the
bottle Of whiskey TO her? A-No. /
asked her IL she suspected the Benefits
and she said mo" asked her then il
she thought DIR. Graves sent It, She did
not answer that question.
Mrs. Barnabys silence is considered by
the prosecution as an indication that she
thought DIR. Graves might have sent the
bottle and they evidently are trying TO
impress the jury with the same belief
But what If Mrs. Barnaby did think the
doctor was acting in n treacherous man

WHY ADVOCATE PROTECTION

The reply of the Hon. Henry b. Metcalf
of Rhode Island to the question VIII he
is a protectionist, as published by The
American Economist, deserves careful
reading. Mr. Metcalf says:
"Why am /, an American citizen, an
advocate of such tax upon imports as
will actually assure TO American indus
try the highest attainable degree of pros
perity, whatever law may be required to
that end? or, in other words, why am
a Protectionist? Because for forty
years have been both an active business
man and an actual observer of actual
events. have read and listened to the
theories of the opponents of protection
and actually seen those theories refuted
in living experience. / have studied the
policy and promises of the advocates of
protection, and actual evidence, on every
hand. confirms those promises.
l have seen it to be an actual fact,
abundantly sustained by evidence, that
under the system of protection every
hour of honest toll purchases more of
material comfort for the toiler than is
attainable under any other system, the
degree of such advantage being contin-
gent upon the completeness and accur-
acy of the application of the protective
system. This advantage comes, directly
or indirectly, to all classes of toilers,
be they weavers, spinners, carpenters,
painters, machinists. farmers, doctors,
editors or teachers. / am convinced
that the system of protection fosters a
spirit of national self-independence, such
as is indispensable TO the highest stand
ards of citizenship under a government
of the people"
Mr.. Metcalf knows whereof he speaks,
and voices the sentiments of the intelli-
gent and typical New England manu-
facturer.
