A Modern Marvel.

When The Pitts6urg Times took
possession of its splendid building
last April its publishers promised
that The Times would grow in ex-
cellence in the same proportion as
it's quarters have been enlarged.
The Times had already won such a
proud position among the newspa-
pers of the country that there was
general curiosity to know how the
promise would be redeemed. That
curiosity has been most pleasantly
gratified. The Times has been so
enlarged, and SO many new features
have been added, that it is every
where cited as marvel of modern
journalism. The chief wonder is
that newspaper SO complete in
every respect can be sold for one cent
a day, or $500 per year, little more
than the cost of a first class weekly
paper. If any Of our readers are not
familiar by personal inspection with
the merits of The Times, we advise
them to send for a sample copy,
which will be mailed free to any ad-
dress. If there is no agent for The
Times in your locality it, will pay
you to write to The Tires for the
terms to agents.

BORN WITH TEETH.
A California Baby Brings Two IncisOrs
Into the World.

A San Francisco dispatch says:
The Harrison street people are just
now decidedly proud and naughty.
The baby on their block was born
with two big, beautiful white teeth.
This was enough in itself to turn the
head of any well-condueted neigh
borhood, but add to that, If you
please, the fact that the child was
born on administration Day, and
weighed in at good II pounds, and
then ask yourself honestly if you can
blame them. Miss Marjorie Abbie
Penn resides with her parents at
S405 Harrison street Her farther,
Thomas M. Penn, is an Englishman
from New Zealand, and has been a
resident of this city for the past year.
The baby had two teeth, but the
dentist removed one. When seen
yesterday afternoon Marjorie was
softly sleeping. Four weeks of
slumher, off and on, don't seem to
have given her surfeit of it. She
appeared somewhat bored on waking
to find a reporter bending over her
in evident admiration and wonder.
She was not dressed to receive callers
and at once intimated that she had
nothing whatever to say for publica-
tion. Her eyes were large and as
blue as the sky. She turned them
full on the reporter and raised the
suggestion of eyebrow with an
air of saying .ow, isn't this trifle
impertinentY Then she stuffed a
pink fist into either eye and foated
back into dreamland.

4 CRAZY MANS DEED.
He Throws His Daughter In q Well and
Shoots His Sister.in-Law.

DR.. G. w. Kelly, one of the lead
ings physicians of Jefferson county,
is in custody at Louisville for killing
his sister-in law, who tried to rescue
his eight-year-old daughter after he
had thrown the child in a forty foot
well. Kelly had suddenly become
raving maniac. After being ar
rested he alternately chuckled fiend-
ishly and moaned as he related in
an incoherent way what he had done
declaring that God told him to kill
both to save them from eternal dam
nation. When the sister-in law first
realized that the doctor was insane
be had thrown his little daughter
in the well. With a scream she
rushed out of the house 10 try to
save the child. At this Kelly drew
his revolver and fired. The woman
ran into the house and, seeing no
other way of ascaps, leaped through
window. AS she did so the doc
tor fired again, inflicting wound in
the back. Her screams attracted
neighbors, and after severe strug-
gle the madman was overpowered.
Meantime the walls Of the child in
the well attracted the crowd to that
point. By what seems a miracle
she had not sunk beneath the water.
The bucket was lowered. the child
got into it and standing knee deep
in water and clinging to the rope
she was brought up. The wounded
woman died yesterday afternoon,
but the child will live.

MoRGANTowN VIRGINIA. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER -
THE FOREST FIRES.


The careless youth, who sets loi
of dry leaves and brush on fire in the
heart Of the mountains, this time Of
the year when every twig, branch and
bramble is as parched as Arabian
punk, little knows the extent of dam.
age his amusement may cost an en-.
tire section Of country.
In the first place every tree. bush,
plant and parasite vine that clings
to decayed stumps and messy rocks,
possess a power in themselves to dis
charge and inhale moisture. In fat
countries where there are few trees
and bushes, rain is less frequent and
dew is almost phenomenal. This
freshness that arises from the noun
tains in mist during the early hours
of morning is absorbed in the atmos-
phere and tempers it, making it in
MIGRATING and healthy to inhale.
This vapor also assists in genera
ting rain and in some sections of the
country where whole forests have
been laid low with the woodman's
axe, great streams and creeks have
been dried up and never will be the
watering places for wild animals or
game again.
The fire on the mountains has de
stroyed the germs of wild vegetation
that years and years cannot repro
duce. The most beautiful and the
most stately trees have had their
hearts sap extracted from them and
they only stand as charred stumps
never again to spread out their green
branches. The beauty Of the noun
tains are destroyed and ugly charred
spots remain, which are conducive to
anything else than picturesqueness
and moisture.
In the second place the danger of
starting fire is very great, as there
is no telling where it will end. The
fire that was lighted in the northern
section of the mountain range has
nearly been extinguished by hard
work, but the several acres of smoul-
dering embers will mark the spot for
years to come.
The fires are still raging in some
sections of the mountains below the
fifth knob and great damage, it is
said, is being done by the flames.
The lumbermen in West Virginia are
fighting the flames which threaten to
consume their shanties and cut tim
ber.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic g. Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part Of the Canon in less
than l2 hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $2o.o 90, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are proyid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view Of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus Of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent Of the trail is grander

for in the bottom Of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun

Youths at the Worlds Fair.

Provision has been made for the
holding, in Chicago at the time of
the Worlds Fair, of a congress com
posed of youths of all nations of the
World. Delegates will be sent, it is
expected, from England, Japan,
France, Germany, Norway, Sweden,
Spain, Austria, Italy, Russia and
countries of the Orient. These young
men are to be selected from the high
schools and the grammar-schocl
grades. Their ages are to range be-
tween Ii and 20 years. No World
Fair congress has been thus far ar
ranged for, it is thought, will excite
more interest than this project.
The idea is to get from each coun-
try not more than from fifteen to
fifty students. All told, it is intend
ed to have 5000 at the congress, and
a special committee has been ap-
pointed to see that proper encourage
ment is lent to induce attendance.
The preliminary address of the spec
ial committee has been issued by A.
F. Nightingale, Chairman, and r. F.
Bliss, Secretary.
President Bonney, of the Worlds
Congress Auxiliary, says that the
topics discussed, will touch neither
upon religion nor politics. His idea
is to gather in Chicago next year a
representative assembly of the edu-
Gated youths of all countries. They
are to be addressed by the leading
educators of the age who may be in
Chicago. The scheme originated
with committee of which Francis
Bellamy is chairman. The pith of
the argument for such congress is
embraced ia the following paragraph
from the preliminary address,
at is felt that carefully selected
assembly of the young from all ma
lions under such remarkable condi-
tions as will prevail during the
Columbian Exposition cannot fail to
powerfully aid this high end. 1t is
purposed to draw together the worth
lest and the most talented youth of
all lands, the coming leaders of man
kind, that they may be lead to real
ize, as could not otherwise be posi-
BILE, the meaning and the worth of
the fellowship of nations and the
brotherhood Of man. In a gathering
SO constituted there would certainly
be some who will be called to deal
decisively with the destinies of states
and the serious concerns of millions
of men. Brought thus together, and
face to face with the large relations
of our independent humanity, those
fresh minds would greatly gain in
fitness for the important tasks de-
creed to their future. Among them
would be many who will survive all
who are now active on the stage OF
the worlds affairs, and who would
therefore stand before the generation
to follow us as witnesses of the hu.
manizing power of the Worlds Elk
/ position of 1898, and be inspired by
its influence to higher and more use
full careers, making the fulfillment
of its great promises their noblesl
claim to history"

RIVAL JESSE JAMES.
A Cashieriin Kansas Held up and Forced
to Fork Over at the Point Of
Winchesters.

A daring robbery favoring Of the
famous exploits of the James gang,
was committed at Spearville, Kansas,
a little town IL miles east OF Fort
Dodge, Saturday afternoon. Three
masked men, armed with Winches-
tiers, rode into town and made straight
to the Imperial Bank, the leading a.
nancial institution of the place. On
arriving at the bank the men hastily
dismounted. Two of them entered
while third kept guard with gun
on his shoulder outside. Cashier
Baird was the only man in the hank
and the two robbers presenting their
Winchesters at his head demanded
the cash. Baird handed over &c.,
900 in paper and silver money. The
two men then ran out, mounted their
horses and galloped out of town.
Cashier Baird Immediately gave The
alarm. The Sheriff organized posse
at once and is now in pursuit. Tie
hghwaymen are supposed To be the
remnants of the Dalton gang. The
robbery is the boldest committed in
