Death of 7 A Fl. Parsons.

A large proportion OF this community
was inexpressibly shocked, yesterday
morning, to learn Of the death Of J. A.
II. Parsons, the photographer, which
sad event took place at his residence on
South York street, shortly after five
O'Clock. Deceased had been in poor
health for three years past, being a
great sufferer from kidney disease,
and a year or so ago underwent an ex-
tenslve surgical operation, which, 1t
was hoped, would afford him permanent
relief. The benefit was but transitOry,
however, and although he was again
able TO attend TO business, he suffered q
great deal. He was last upon the
streets about two weeks ago, and was
thereafter confined TO his bed until
death came to his relief yesterday.
Mr.. Parsons stood at the head OF his
profession, and had a well-deseryed rep
utation far aud wide over the country
for fine work. Some three or four years
ago he gained a massive gold medal at
the Photographers National Convention,
az st. Louis, for fine work. He was Ca
madam by birth, and married in Little
Washington, but has been a resident of
Wheeling for twenty years. sThe funeral
will take place Wednesday afternoon,
the interment being in Washington.

Squire Phillips Court.

Yesterday morning about nine o'clock
a young man named Allie Clark was ar
rested by officer O'Brien for stealing a
half dozen towels from T. B. Dolan, the
Market street saloonist. He was taken
before Justice Phillips, where he plead
guilty to the charge, and was sentenced
TO ten days In Jail.
The case Of the female base ball play
ers against the manager, for salary due,
came up at two o'clock yesterday after
noon. 5. o. Boyce appeared for the de-
PENDANT, and Prosecuting Attorney j.
A. Howard for the young ladies. The
case was continued until this morning
at nine o'clock.
Manager Bruckner claimed yesterday,
and submitted documents in corrobora-
ton, that he was not liz debt to the girls,
that be only fined them when necessary
TO maintain discipline, and that the two
young ladies had given him a great
deal Of trouble, remaining tall night,
disobeying orders, etc. He gave them
notice two weeks ago and this time is
up.

An EXPLANATION of Why He is Here.

1t was whispered about town yester-
day that the real cause OF the presence
OF Hon. John ". Mason, U. 5. Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, in the city,
was to use all his influence to counter
act the decided tendency among the
West Virginia delegation TO break away
from the Administration and go TO
Blaine, and it was further rumored that
numbers OF kilograms were sent off TO
delegates from West Virginia at the
Convention, beseeching them TO
get back in line for the Ad
ministration. The delegation yeSter-
day was said to stand: Harrison Z,
Blaine 5. the Blaine men, under the
effects OF Senator SCOTS powerful lead,
bidding fair to be soon in the majority,
unless something was done. Hence
Mr.. Mason's alleged mission to aid in
saving the Harrison interest, by ap-
plying pressure from this direction.

There was considerable anxiety eX-
pressed yesterday among persons living
in the low-lying sections Of the city In
regard to the probable height which will
be reached by the river. The Aleghe-
ny and Beaver rivers ran ont strong,
but not sufficient - furnish any reason
for alarm. The marks on the landing
at midnight showed 21 feet of water in
channel, and at one o'clock the marks
indicated 81 feet 0 inches. The stage
will probably not go higher than 30 or

the fierce criticism of the opposition pa

invitation.

He sued the king lin form, that is) in

married Mary de Toledo, niece OF the
infamous Duke of Alva, and his only son
Luis surrendered all the family claims
for the title of duke of Veragua, mar
quis of Jamaica. He was the last OF the
male line, and finally in 1868 the title
passed, by the marriage of the lady en-
titled to it, to the house of Braganza,
and from that marriage the present
Duke of Veragua is descended.
By some popularity of Spanish law he
is entitled to the original name-which
in Spanish is Colon-both o's long and
the second accented, making the sound
exactly the same as Cologne, Christie
bal Spanish for Christopher is accented

A Serious Case.

Uncle Silas was very honest and
pious old colored man who preached on
Sundays and had great influence for
good upon the others in the settlement.
During one of his revival seasons, among
a dozen or SO at the mourners' bench
was black boy called Eph, about
twenty years old and for long time
unregenerate. Uncle Silas was greatly
reioiced to see him come forward, and
at once went to him. Eph was crying.
'sHain't no use in my comm up" he
sobbed. ssrse sinned away de day OBJ

s'No, you amt, brudder," protested
Uncle Silas. ''You am de kin what de
Lawd wants to save. All you got to do

sobbed Eph, ''but dey amt no salvation

Eyes, dey is, too, honey. Dey amt no

ssDat's all fuggib, Eph'm."
"But dem two was you'n, Uncle Silas.

.'Wha dat?' exclaimed Uncle silas
suddenly.

Uncle Silas became solemn and stern.

nalist Of San Francisco, was on hoard,
and as soon as the ship struck he sat
down and calmly wrote his will and
letter to friend, both of which were
found on his body when it came ashore.
Scores of prominent families in the two
states were thrown into mourning by
this accident.
Well, that rock, known as ST. Georges
reef. is now the site of one of the finest
lighthouses in the world, and the diff
culties of its construction make it a Won
der. Northwest Seal rock, as the par
ticular location is called, is bare when
the sea is calm, but in storms the waves
break over it with such violence that no
construction for the workmen was pos
sible. There was neither harbor nor
wharf. From a supply steamers deck
the men climbed to rock, in good
weather only; SO the construction has
gone on for ten years, and the total cost
has reached 800, 900, or four times the
cost in commodious location.
The foundation is massive oval
structure of stone and cement sixty feet
sR diameter and sixty feet high. On this
rises square granite tower to a height
of 145 feet. On this is the lamp, and in the
interior of the base is the machinery for
the 12-inch steam fog whistle. The
whole was completed a few days ago,
and now four men are isolated indeed
on that lonely spot. Once in three
months an inspector visits them in a
steamer, and once a month, if the
weather is quite favorable, one of them
goes to the mainland for mail and other
necessities. They have six months sup
ply of provisions always on hand. No
families are permitted at the lighthouse,
and the four fellows are left to cultivate
each others acquaintance at leisure.
They are, in fact, four Selkirks for the
time being, but the lighthouse is great
success.

The Girl Has Achieved Much.

Mis- Edith Emily Read has just beaten
the record in Girton girls. She is now
doing some responsible work on the
labor commission, which comes as the
climax of singularly successful career.
Here is a bare record of her achieve
ments: Goldsmiths and Clothworkers'
scholarship, from the North London Col
legiate school to Girton fifty pounds,
each for three years., wrangler, 1891;
first class moral science tripos latter
only years study, 1892; Therese Mon
tefiore memorial prize of fifty pounds
1899 for most distinguished student at
Girton; prizes of twenty pounds each
from Goldsmiths and Clothworkers'
companies in recognition of her wran-
glership.
= Miss Reed is, we believe, the only
lady who ever took first class honors in
two triposes One of her principal tu-
tors at the North London Collegiate
school was Mrs. Sophie Bryant, ID. &c.

Oueer Food,

The hedgehog figures frequently in
sylvan repasts, though he is hardly big
enough to be sent to table as piece de
resistance. The primitive manner of
cooking it supersedes the most costly re-
finements of elaborate batteries de cui-
sine The elephants foot, or rather the
slice below the pastern, which is ia
NOUS dainty in eastern hunting camps,
is treated on precisely similar principles,
which shows that the simplest cookery
of all nations has much in common, like
their folklore.
Shakespeare's British hedgepig, like
it's cousin, the porcupine, is shrouded in
a plastic tenement of clay. Then he is
laid to temporary rest in bed of srnol-
dering cinders. When supposed to be
done to turn, the dwarf pig is dug up,
and then the prickly skin is detached
with the splitting Of the case of clay.
All the generous juices, with their bou-
quet, have been confined and transfused.
