TO BUY orr THE OLIvETTE.
A scheme UnfOlded by an East Liverpool
Paper.

Paper.
The East Liverpool ReUtetD says:
"a strenuous effort is being made to
buy of the steamer Olivette from river
service between this city and Stenben-
vile. This scheme was well ventilated
on Saturday by Gilbert CASTOR, OF Steu-
benvllle, who was in this city, and
called to see several influential business
men. From the reports received 1t APP
pears that the Oivette, when she runs,
secures the bulk Of the freight trade be-
tween this city and Steubenville. This
is naturally to the detriment OF the
other lines who desire share Of the
traffic. Mr.. CASTOR became aware that
an effort would be made shortly TO buy
the opposition steamer 0livette and use
her somewhere else, so he concocted a
slick scheme for his individual benefit.
CASTOR reached this city Saturday and
laid his scheme before several merch-
ants who patronize the river boats.
He would buy the Olivette and run
her himself between here and Steuben-
vile. provided be was guaranteed pat
ronage by the East Liverpool merchants.
What success Mr.. CASTOR met with
could not be ascertained, though sew
eral merchants spoken to about the
latter regarded the idea as both shrewd
and likely to prosper. Frank Pilgrim
was seen by a NclCS R6Ciel0 reporter at
the wharf this morning. He proiessed
ignorance Of the scheme and did not
think ia would be carried into effect.
The Olivette belongs TO the wheeling
& Lake Erie Railroad Company and is
regarded as a very fne steamer. She
has not been running for the past three
months, partly because OF the need OF
repairs. II is expected that she
will soon be running again
II Mr.. CASTOR should buy the
steamer and run opposition to the other
lines some keen and exciting competi-
tion may be looked for" The Olivette
never belonged to the Wheeling " Lake
Erie railroad. Some OF the officials OF
company owned some stock In her and
the boat had a traffic arrangement with
the road. Owing TO disagreement
among her owners, Messrs. Terry ana
nonresident stockholders were induced
to sell out, and tn e boat is now owned
bv Messrs. Noll, fisher, CASTOR and
Low. all Of Steubenville. She is run
ming in her former trade, going to
wheeling and East Liverpool on alter
nate DAYS.

Ginnis, of Gordon county, with posse

They Were Not Contract Laborers.

WASHINGTON, November 26.-Acting
Secretary Spaulding to-day issued an
order for the release of sixteen Belgian
glassblowers who have been detained at
New York since the 10th inst. on sus-
picion OF being contract laborers."
This action is the the result of q careful
investigation, which disclosed the fact
that there is no evidence whatever Of a
violation of the law in the case OF a
single one OF the men under surveil-
lance. 1t was originally held that these
men were contract laborers and prepa-
rations were being made for their re-
turn to Belgium last week, when de-
lay was ordered. at the instance OF the
Belgian Minister, for the purpose Of
having rehearing. The result demon
strates the wisdom OF the delay.

where the Language Lacks.

The Listener has been written to by q
lady at Washington who wishes to know
two queer things. One is why the Englisl,
language has no feminine equivalent
for the word fellow" used in the sense
of comrade Sometimes people speak
of a girl as Jolly good fellow" but
the phrase is abomina bic. and is depse-
ciating to the young woman, though
often it isn't at all meant to be so. In
this country we are particularly favoEed
with girls of this pleasant type. They
are good girls, and often very well
hammered indeed; but they are COM
radely, witty, amiable, equally devoid
of coquetry and prudery; they possess
in fact the proper feminine equivalents
of the qualities that, when we find
them in man, we call the qualities OF
thorough good fellow. But we have,
as this correspondent points out, nc
feminine expression for the word. Some
wise word-monger should remedy the
deficiency. boston Transcript .-

Every winter sees new idea in shoe
making to avoid wet and cold feet Tha
cork sole has outlived three or four in
ventions and seems very popular, but
the fashionable idea now is to have an
oil-slsin lining between the uppers and
the ordinary lining. This effectually
keeps out cold and wet, and by doing
away with all ventilation and retaining
the perspiration a considerable amount
of warmth is acquired. The plan is
probably open to certain sanitary objec-
tions, but residents in suburban dis
tricts far removed from granitoid or
even plank walks are willing to take a
few chances in order to get downtown
with dry feet. In Canada they have a
simpler and much cheaper way of secur-
ing the same result by using very
thick sock made of wood pulp and mill
board, which requires an immense
amount of water to soak through. 1t is
doubtful whether anything but good
rubbers will pass muster from medi-
cinal standpoint. but as long as some
people have a prejudice against wearing
them, every winter will probably SEQ
some new invention to take their place.

FACTS AND FINDINGS.

In Washington are $4,000 young
men, but less than 5000 of them are
members of churches. On a single
evening 16s young men entered ten
churches, prayer meetings, and the
same evening, in one hour, 365 entered
ten of the 1000 saloons licensed by our
government under the shadow of the
capitol.
THE undergraduates Of Cambridge,
Eng, have taken to drinking tea
after dinner instead of wine. But
though novel at Cambridge this prac-
tice has been in vogue at Oxford for
seventy years, the innovation having
been brought about by Newman and
Froude, even then famous, who induced
most of the other fellows of Oriel to
give up wine in the common-room after
dinner and substitute tea.
THE London Standard, in an article
upon the French experts in the
adulteration of liquors, declares that
there is scarcely any genuine wine or
brandy in the market. 1t cites the
testimony in a case of litigation in the
French courts which shows that tho
art of initiating the brandy distilled
from grapes is now so perfect that
only by analysis can it be discovered
to be an imposture. 1t adds that NJ.
Jacquemip, an cnterprising French
man, has succeeded in producing de.
licious wines without any grapes at
all" This is perplexing dilemma
for wine drinkers. good way out of
it is to drink no wine at all
HENRY A. HART, NJ. D., says:
drunkenness is voluntary lunacy,
which causes three-fourths of the
crimes of violence, and, exclusive of
itself, two-thirds of all other crimes
and two thirds of the pauperism under
which the people groan. If the doors
of all the insane asylums in the land
were thrown open and the whole army
of involuntary lunatics were let loose
it is doubtful whether they would pro-
duce one-half the devastation and hor-
rors which flow from this atrocious
vfce. Can any man of common sense
ask if this is a crime. or question the
right and duty of society to punish it.

A DESPERADO'S NERVE.
Ne Collects $4,000 Reward While 5000
Is offered for Himself

No Collects @2, 900 Reward While $4,000
Is offered for Himself
The remarkable career of old Tom
Starr, the notorious Cherokee despera-
do. which has lately appeared in print,
recalls an incident in his life, the plain.
est statement of which sounds like a
romance.
Bill West was old Toms brother in.
law and the most powerful man of his
day in the Cherokee nation. A blow
from his fist W as as deadly as Win
chester bullet With this formida BILE
weapon he killed several men, and a
law was passed declaring Bills fist a
deadly weapon.
Old Tom and Bill had been close COM
panions, but one day they quarrcled
over the division of the spoils of plum
dering expedition. West struck al
Starr, but the willy savage lodged the
blow and at the same time deity placed
long, keen knife blade between the
formers ribs. This was the tragic end
of Bill West.
At this time there was a reward OF
two thousand dollars offered for
Vests head and five thousand dollars
for that of Starr.
Old Tom was in need of ready cash
and determined to run the risk of losing
his own head by trying to secure the re-
ward on that of his brother-in-law.
So, after killing West he cut off his
head, put it in gunny-bag and pro-
ceeded to Talequah, the capital, where
he presented his cory charge to the
chief with the proof that it was the
right head and demanded the reward.
The chief and treasurer were both old
men and they knew old Toms reputa-
ton. They also knew that the reward
on Vests head was only two thousand
dollars, while that for old Toms was
five thousand dollars. But Starr was
there himself and meant business.
At the muzzle of six-shooter the
treasurer forked over the two thousand
dollars and old Tom departed with the
money. to the delight and establishment
of the people Of Talequah without kill
ing a single person.-St Louis Globe

that the ionors TO the flag are most
frequently shown. A man Of war visit

Is a pretty custom, but IL is doing nm
honor TO some one else's flag, not to our
own. Sometimes this honor is done
under compulsion; that is, when one
country is exacting an apology from
another. The commanding officer Of a
