SOCIALISTS DID GOOD WORK.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-Dr. Aveling has
written an article for the Pail Mall
Gazette reviewing the action of the So
cialist of Hamburg in the cholera crisis.
He points out that at meeting of the
Hamburg Chamber Of Commerce it
was resolved that the best means for
helping the poor was through the So
cialist leaders. The doctors, the po-
lice and private individuals followed
the course thus indicated, and the au-
thorities applied to the Socialists to
have distributed a quarter of million
printed leaflets instructing the people
as to methods Of disinfection and pre-
venting the spread of the disease.
This distribution was accomplished
in few hours. Four hundred Social
list also penetrated the slums and ex-
planned the leaflets, showing how an
tidotes for the cholera should be used.
and inspiring hope and courage in
others by exhibiting proof of their
own.
DR.. Aveling adds that the cholera in
attacking the poorer class of people,
had caused great ravages iii the ranks
Of the Socialists.

TUESDAYS RAIN.

The long continued absence Of rain
thoughout this county has been seri-
ous,y felt and the copious rain that
vltited us Tuesday was very welcome.
But little has fallen in this locality for
weeks and the pasture fields are look
ing sere and brown. Many of the
farmers, particularly in Falling Waters
and Hedgesville district, haye cut off
their corn crop, the drouth causing the
stalk to ripen earlier than usual. The
farmers will now be enabled to prepare
Tor seeding which is near at hand.

SA NITARY MATTEES.
The Board Health Taking Every pre-.
caution for the City's Well-being.

The Board Health Taking Every pre-
caution for the City's Wel-being.
DR.. Myers reports that the order re-
Gently promulgated by the Board of
Health asking all citizens to place their
immediate surroundings in healthful
condition, is being pretty generally
needed Drs. Janney and Wolf will
make a thorough inspection of the
town, and report all such as fail to
comply to the proper authorizes, when
further action will be taken. From
present indications however, there will
be few who will fail in this important
matter.
The corporation officers are having
the unclean places scraped and looked
after, and will cause the fire plugs to
be opened occasionally which will ma
terially aid matters. The sewer ex-
tending from West Burke street via the
Episcopal Church and disc charging on
South College street is obnoxiously
ordorous and filthy. 1t requires inn
mediate attention and should be thor
oughly flushed two or three times a
week until the full rains set in.
Owing to the liability at any time of
having cholera patients stopped off at
this station because Of the strict in
spection instituted by the State Board
of Health on the B. & O. r. r. and the
difficulty likely to be experienced in
finding a suitable place for their care
and treatment, requisition for several
tents was made on Governor Fleming
who very commercially, promptly for
warded them. Another matter in this
connection needs some attention
nurses male and female might be re-
ouired to look after and care for the
sick if such contingency should arise.
Such persons of either sex as are will
ing to engage in that capacity are re-
quested to hand in their names to the
local health officers.

A BALTIMORE STORY.
An Erring Bride said to be from Mar
tinsburg.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 16.-Quite a SEN
sational story came to light in the city
court Tuesday in which young West
Virginia couple of high family connec
tons were the chief actors. The social
standing of the man and his wife have
been of the best.
The parties are young man and
woman hardly out of the period of their
honeymoon, both of Martinsburg, W.
Va. The young man is the private
secretary Of Senator Faulkner, Of that
state. Frank Howard is young law
yer who thought to start his career
with bride as well as with the large
experience he had acquired while the
right-hand man for West Virginia.
prominent statesman. So few months
ago he married a Miss Stopeler, of a
prominent family of this city.
Believing he would find better OPP
portunity to make his way in the world
in large city the young man came on
here with his bride about six weeks ago.
Here he started up as pension agent
and was progressing fairly well for a
beginner when suddenly trouble APP
peared to mar his domestic peace.
A slight difference between the con-
pie resulted in the bride of months
disappearing a few days ago, and
search discovered her in a house of
questionable repute, from which she
could only be removed by habeas cor
pus. She was in Court in tears. She
is tall, of slight build and might have
been pretty but her eyes were red as
though from weeping, and she held a
handkerchief to her face. A complete
reconciliation was established and twas
thought best to she should be sent back
to Martinsburg for time. All arrange
ments were therefore made and she
will return to her family. AS soon as
possible her husband expects to join
her

CAN BREAD BE MApEor woopg

Scientists now declare that a fine
quality of bread can be manufactured
from wood fibre. Two years ago Vic
tor Meyer, the eminent author and
lecturer of Heidelberg, Germany, in a
public address delivered before the
students of the universities at that
place, said "Chemistry is the great
unrayeler, the revealer of hidden
mystery. We may even reasonably
hope that ere long it will teach us to
make the fibre of wood a source Of
human food. The fibre of wood con-
sists essentially of cellulin, can this be
made into starchq If it can the food
problem of the Nations is forever solv-
ed Starch has about the same per-
centage composition, etc., wherever
found, but it differs very much in its
properties, and the nature of its MOLE
cules has always been one of the great
est enigmas to the chemist. But a
new era is dawning; we are beginning
to read cellulin molecules like an open
book, and would not be at all sur
prised to hear that some savant had
manufactured nice food from what
was once the most unruly elements.
His colaborers took the cue and have
industriously worked to prove the
dreams of the master mind; and they
have, if the popular scientific writer's
are to be relied upon, made cornstarch
from cellulin and bread from the
chemically pure" starch which is said
to be more nutritious than that made
from either barley or rye. If this is
all true to the letter, as we hope it is,
the bread question will soon become
one of secondary Importance, as the
supply will bepractically inexhaustible.

WAS 1T A FAKE?
Did Sullivan Sell Out the Prize Fight To
COrbett?

Did Sullivan Sell Out the Prize Fight to
Corbett?
"What did you think of the Sullivan
-Corbett fight?" asked q reporter of a
sporting friend whom he had not seen
since the consummation of the big New
Orleans mill which gave the world a
new champion pugilist.
"Well," he replied, lit was a great
fight-if it wasn't fake"
"What do you mean by that re-
markW
Simply this. don't believe there
was enough superiority on the part of
Corbett over Sullivan-granting that
he was really the better man-to knock
Sullivan out in twenty.one rounds.
There never was such an inducement
to sell fight, and ] am one who be-
lieves it was thrown by Sullivan. He
stood to win good deal more money
by losing the fight than he could by
winning it, and everything looks to
me as though a deal was made. There
have been number of things to con
vince me of that. We all know Sulli-
vans strength, his abilities, and his
bull dog tenacity, and knowing what
we do about him, do you suppose he
would give in as he did, after stand
ing up for seventy-two rounds on
one occasion ? All the talk about
Sullivan being punished is bosh
You'll notice he scarcely hit Corbett
one good lick, and Corbett really didn't
maulhim very extensively not enough,
at all events, to knock out.a man of
John l.. Sullivan's strength and abili-
ties. Had Sullivan really been in it
for blood he would have died right in
the ring rather than be whipped, and
it would have required very much more
beating than Corbett gave him to have
knocked him out of the fight. Another
thing-the men were too good friends
before the fight and after it. 1t all
looks little queer. Just wait awhile,
and | predict the whole thing will leak
out Sullivan knew that he had to
lose sooner or later, and he wanted the
Championship to stay in America.
Corbett was good man to hold it, was
willing to make deal, and there you
are. No man can tell me that man
can stand up before John l.. Sullivan
for ten rounds, let alone twenty-o
and never get mark on his face or
body. 1t don't go down with me y
Register.
