Sketch Of Col. VIM. A. MacCorkle.
The Charleston Gazette furnish
es the following biographical sketch
Of Col. Vim. A. MacCorkle, the
Democratic nominee for Governor
of West Virginia:
civilian A. MacCorkIe was
born near Lexington, Rock bridge
county, Va, on the 9TH of May
1858. lie is tie Oldest son Of the
late VIM. MecCorkle, also native
of Hockbridge county, Va. lie
comes from long line of Scotch
Presbyterian ministers and elders.
When William was only four years
old his father died, having remov-
ed with his family to Missouri.
Previous to the war the elder Mac
Corkle was in excellent circum-
stances, but near the close Of the
war he was utterly broken up by
the invasion of the Federal armies
into Virginia. William and his
mother therefore had struggle in
life, but the boy was remarkable
for his energy and perseverance, ard
worked hard to support his moth
er. Mrs. Mac Corkle and her three
children returned TO Virginia, and
William entered the Washington
and Lee University at Lexington,
from which ho subsequently grad
uated-from tho law course of that
institution-when only twenty
years Of age. He was a remarka-
bly, hard student. His mother
states that she never saw him asleep
at any time while attending school
except when she saw him lying
across table with his head buried
in book. Hard labor has been
tho foundation of his guccess.
Soon after graduating from Wash
iugtou and Lee University he came
to Charleston to seek his fortune.
He arriTed here in the year 1879
almost penalties and taught one
term of private school. BY this
means he was enabled to support
himself and at the same time rem
der some assistance to hls widowed
mother, till he was enabled to gain
some practice in the profession of
law. lie succeeded in building up
a lucrative practice aud since his
residence IN Charleston has been
very successful at the bar. The
only civil Office he ever held or
sought was that Of city solicitor Of
Charleston. which be held for three
secutiye terms. At present he
is largely interested financially IN
yarioug business interests Of Char
lesion and Of the State. lie has
given a great deal Of thought and
labor to the material development
Of West Virginia"

Butte's Hermit Miser.

In the western part of town and near
the village Of Burlington there is a
strange character who excites no end Of
comment by his peculiar actions. He is
the owner or leaser of mine, the shaft
of which is about fifty feet in depth
This strange individual works the mine
all by himself, and to the people whom
he meets he is an enigma. He stead
tasty refuses to be interviewed, and
although prospectors on neighboring
mines have made repeated efforts to
even get salutation from him they
have signally failed.
Every morning as regular as clock
work he descends into the mine by
means Of the ladder, and remains there
until evening. Occasionally he is seen
to hoist bucket of waste, and it is pre-
sumed that this action is made neces-
sary by the fact that he is driving a
CrossCut single handed and alone, and
gets cramped for want of room.
But the most peculiar thing in con-
nection with this singular man is his
manner of working. Every two weeks
he changes shifts and works during the
nighttime for two weeks, to change at
the end of that time to two weeks day
shift. Some of the miners who were in
that locality believe that the man is an
old time miner who has become so accus-
toned to working two weeks night and
two weeks day that he cannot overcome
the abit.-Butte Inter Mountain.

Upon the east side of North Seventh
street, about midway between Poplar
street and Girard avenue, stands q
strikingly curious tree, which attracts
the attention of every passerby. 1t
stands just in front of stable yard, and
the employees of the place say that
dozens of people come to them every
week and make remarks or ask ques-
tons about the strange growth. From
the thickness of the trunk at the base
the tree is probably about forty years
old, but its branches and foliage are new
and fresh and look as though they were
but the growth Of year or two. The
trunk runs straight from the ground to
height of about fifteen feet.
Above this for a short distance is a
thick globular mass of foliage, the leaves
appearing to grow directly out of the
the wood. Above this growth run up
three thick stalks or stumps, six or
eight feet high, also covered with a
dense, close mass of foliage. When the
tree is viewed from the north side it
presents a startling resemblance to a
giant human hand protruding from the
earth. The three big stumps at the top
represent the three middle fingers, and
upon either side of these can easily be
seen confgurations of the surrounding
foliage which correspond to the little
finger and thumb.
The explanation of the phenomenon is
a curious one. The tree was once full
grown and vigorous, but was attacked
by blight or some other disease, and the
dead trunk was pruned down to its pres
ent proportions, whereupon the present
new growth Observation-Disclosures

Nevertheless there are thousands Of
people spending their money in these

Improved Ventilation.

An improved system of ventilation has
been introduced in the great hall of the
new Sorbonne in Paris, the principle re-
sorted to being that Of maintaining the
walls at higher temperature than that
of the air which they inclose. In order
to accomplish this, a mixing chamber is
located beneath the auditorium, and hot
and cold air are mixed to the tempera-
ture desired; the air is forced into the
auditorium through great number of
small holes in the floor and in front of
the seats, the openings being covered by
a wire netting. Before the entrance of
an audience the walls are thoroughly

air into space behind the moulding and
close to the floor The wall is thus
heated to a temperature of 100 degs.-a
temperature which, by radiation, will
keep the audience comfortable-at the
same time ventilating the hall with air
at 60 degs., derived from the mixing
chamber. All downward cold drafts are
thus prevented, the currents of air all
being upward, owing to the heated sur

Let me endeavor to give you picture
Of what this part of Broadway is-fifty
hotels, two hundred restaurants, twenty
theaters, a hundred cigar stores, and
don't know how many millinery shops,
jewelry stores, habeTdasheries and
drinking saloons. They say there are
many gambling houses, too, but of this
know nothing from personal observation.
Still it would not be surprising if in this
gay section of Broadway, or near by it,
there were tigers lairs and even worse
places by the score, for everything that
4 sportive, reckless, demoralizing and
pleasure giving thrives here like green
bay tree.
The people who infest this gay Broad
way appear to have nothing to do but 10
spend money. Where all the money
comes from is mystery to me. To
watch the Broadway crowds spend
money one would never think there
we're such things as poverty, want, de
spair in the world.
Not more than one-half of these pleas
ure seeking throngs are New Workers.
In walk along this thoroughfare you
meet men from all parts of the United
States, from all parts of the world.
Many are respectable and important
persons at their homes, guests of the
hotels, in New York on business. Many
are here merely for pleasure.
If there is a spendthrift in this coun-
try, young idiot who has "come into
money and who is troubled with an itch
for spending it, the chances are you
will find him along Broadway. IL
Gssipated youth is missing from home.
here is where his anxious parents should
come in search of him. If there is
wandering boy who has, through some
lucky stroke in the poolrooins, become
hnbued with the notion that he is a
"plunger" and destined TO make his
fortune betting ON horse races, hunt
On Broadway will surely disclose him.
If pretty, stylish and hayward girl
has run away from home and failed to
send her address to her sOrrowing par
ents, seek her on the west side of Broad
way, between Fourteenth and Forty
second streets.
While all sorts and conditions of men
and women may be found on Broadway
there are certain places at which you
may be sure Of finding certain kinds

Artistic Auto-suggsstion.

Irecollect that at the dress rehearsal
of Hamlet NJ. Mounet-S ully was late.
The stage was waiting. | sent to have
him summoned by the call boy. He re-
turned in moment and told me that NJ.
Mounet-Sully could not come down from
his dressing room then because his cos
tune was not quite ready. What! 1t
was finished a week ago, that costume.
1t was tried on and worn. 1t is COM
plete and perfect" Yes, the costume
was complete, but under his doublet M.
Mounet-Sully wore braces, and at the
last moment he had considered that he
must have black ones-mourning braces
because Hamlet was dressed from
head to foot in the trappings and the
suits of woe. Those lower strata of
costume had annoyed him. "The public
would not see them, but | should see
them" This was not the auto-sugges-
ton of Talma, but the sentiment comes
from the same need-the need for the
artist to believe himself the character he
plays, the hero he epresents.-Jules

Broadway gowns and millinery are
worth going miles to see. Broadway
women are worth travelling the world
round to behold. Who are they, what
are they, why are they here? These are
the queries that come intuitively to ones
mind. But | know not. One-half OF
them at least appear to be honest. Many
are actresses. Many more are unclassi-
fied-not living by their wits, as a large
proportion of the men Of Broadway do,
but living somehow. No matter what
or who they are, they form a passing
show of beauty. They make up a van
ity fair which one never tires of study
ing.
The more you study Broadway beauty,
however, the greater is your admira-
ton for modern art, for this beauty,
much of it, is the product of art. That
the gowns and the millinery are artistic
have already noted, but this is only
half the story. The corset maker, work
ing by measurement like an architect
solving problem, has made the form.
The bootmaker has contrived to make
pretty an ugly foot 1t is in the face
that art has lavished her greatest
genius. Noses have been Strengthened,
their pug ends elongated, their humps
reduced. Moles and wrinkles have been
eradicated or smoothed. The complex
ions, through long courses of treatment,
have been beautihed almost incredibly
Powder and tints are used, but with
such delicate art that nature is success

All these things were pointed out to
me by q woman who described the proc
esses, who told me that hundreds of
women are earning small fortunes in
