NEWSPAPER LAWS.

|. Subscribers who did not give
express notice to the contrary are con-
sidered wishing to continue their sub
scription.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send them until
all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the Office
to which they are directed, they are
responsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered them discontinued.
4. If the subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
er, and the papers are sent to the form
er direction, they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to pub
fishers at the end of their time, if they
do not wish to continued taking it;
otherwise the publish r is authorized
to send it, and the subscriber will be
responsible until an express notice with
payment Of all arrearages is sent to
the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law

to run along for some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or tells the
postmaster to mark it refused" and
have Il postal card sent notifying the
lays himself liable to arrest
and fine, the same as for theft, etc.

THE BLAIR INSTITUTE.

Messrs. Hoffman Summers, Robert
Sbuttlework and Dir. Blair, of Clarks-
burg, w. Va, have come to this city
and established in the Gerling build
ing ON West King street an Institute
where all addicted to the liquor and
morphia habits will be received and
treated. The method Of treatment
and prescriptions used are nearly SINH

stitutes. From three to twenty-one
days is the length of time required to
cure the worst inebriate or the most
confirmed morphia eater. 1t will be
known as the Blair Institute, DR.. Blair
being the physician in charge. 1t has
no connection with the one at Clarks-
burg, being entirely independent and
the gentlemen propose establishing
branches throughout the country.
While the institute was only establish

KILLED HIS YOUNG BRIDE.

PITTsBURG, Sept. 12.-Frank Gar
win, newspaper artist, aged 70 years,
shot his wife Cora through the heart
about noon, Friday, at their home on
Avery street, Allegheny. The couple
were married last Tuesday, and the
cause of the deed is supposed to have
been insane jealousy. Mrs. Garvin
was 20 years of age and very pretty.
She was daughter of Homer Redpath,
Of Chicago, former resident of this
city, ard came here on Monday last to
marry Garvin. The murderer is in
Jail.
While on his way to the station
house, Garvin tried to shoot himself,
but was prevented by Police Captain
Aenew, who disarmed him. That he
evidently contemplated suicide was
shown by a note written on a sketch
ing pad, and found in his pocket when
searched by the police. The note bid
goodbye to his mother and sisters, and
requested thA his back salary be given
to friend, who had loaned him money.
Garvin was a quiet, unassuming young
man, very industrious, and never in
dulged in intoxicants.
The murdered woman was we'll
known here, and famed for her beauty.
The motive for the tragedy is still a
mystery. Garyin refused to say any
thing, and the couple were alone at
the time. Mrs. Garvin died almost
instantly.

"Give me three good cigars" he said,

handed out three cigars and seventy five

swered the dealer, +" he said good cigars,

counter and call out the name of the
brand or the price they want to pay, SOS
everybody can hear them.
"They say: Some of your perfectos,

Your best imported brand, or Three of

if they want five-cent cigars they walk in
quietly and tap the case over the box con-
tanning the kind they want without say

stogas they come in slyly when there's no
one else around. But when fellow wants

One OF Kentucky's most successful
politicians was very illiterate man; but
man OF strong common sense. refer
to COL Joseph LIE Compile. He filed
many important political offices, and
several times represented this district in
Congress, being citizen of Henry County,
once in this Congressional district. In
one OF his races his competitor was q
Louisville lawyer, Thomas @. Wilson,
college, bred man. Col. LIE Compile had
been soldier in the war of 1872, and
fought at the disastrous battle of the
River Raisin and other battles of
that war. He knew nothing of the
rules of grammar, and cared less. Mr..
Wilson In one OF his speeches had VEN
tured to say that the people Of the metro
politan district OF Kentucky should send
an educated man to Congress-at least
one who did not in his speeches and con-
versation butcher the Kings English. +"
Whan LIE Compile came to reply, he said !:
" / must admit that / never set my foot
inside the walls OF college or academy of
learning; while Mr.. Wilson was sitting
In the halls OF the academy and college
acquiring a polite education, l. with my
knapsack on my back and my musi1et on
my shoulder. was up on the River Raisin
learning to " butcher the Kings En-
glish." 1t is needless to say that the
accomplished butcher OF the Kings En-
glish was returned to Congress-Louis-

FELLERs OPERA HOUSE.

Martinsburg is very proud of this
Opera House and well she may be-
Erected at cost Of nearly $1,000 and
occupying one Of the main corners on
the most important streets of this city,
it attracts attention and adds material
ly to the locality in which it is situated.
1t is one Of the handsomest buildings
in the city.
In January, 1879, the Opera House
was destroyed by fire, and scarcely
had the remains of the building been
removed, until out of the ashes arose
the present magnificent structure in
which our people have from time to
time spent many joyous hours. This
building was erected by Mr.. John
Fellers in 1879; is of brick and two
stories high Beneath the hall is o.
drug store, restaurant and bottling es-
adjustment There are two entrances
to the hall, one from Race street, the
other from Queen street. The seating
capacity is about six hundred, though
seven hundred persons can be accom-
modated without causing them incon-
very commodious, being 100 feet long
and forty four feet wide. The scenery
is all new, of tasteful selection, and
the effect is pleasing and beautiful
when the building is illuminated with
numerous gas jets. Although sufficient
light is furnished, the proprietor of the
house in accord with modern ideas and
usages, proposes at some time in the
future to discontinue the use of gas
and substitute electricity for illuminat-
ing purposes.
Now as we have briefly spoken of
the handsome building, known as
Feller's Opera House, we will make
reference to the proprietor, Mr.. John
Fellers, a genial, whole-soul, and up
right gentleman, whom is pleasure to
meet. He Is a gentleman whom all ad-
mre and Of whom none can truthfullv
speak ill.

On Fire for Thirty-four Years

One of the curiosities of this country, a
curiosity that does not appear in the his
tories, is the burning mine at Summit
Hill, near Mauch Chunk, Pa. 1t has been
on fire since 1858, and no scheme nor de-
vice, though hundreds have been tried
has been able to suppress the flames. You
can see nothing but hill from which
steam and gas escape at thousand diff
ferent points The rocks are so hot that
sometimes it is impossible to touch them
without pain, and all vegetation on toe
mountain has long since disappeared.
How deep the fire extends there are no
means of knowing, but it certainly must
be miniature volcano, and millions of
tons of coal since the fire first started
have thus been slowly consumed.

In consequence of the enormous initial
velocity of the bullet in the new Mann
licher rifle, and the resulting friction and
wear on the barrel, it has become neces-
sary to devise some method preventing
both of these evils. The manager of the
Government Laboratory, at Thun, Switz-
erland, has consequently devised a method
of inclosing the leaden bullet in thin
metallic covering, while over this he
places wrapper of specially prepared
oleaginous paper, which reduces the wear
of the rifle barrel to a minimum, without
interfering with the course of the bullet.

changed 1t seems but yesterday
promised to be ever true;
Thro' lie, thro' death-eternity-
Ny love none should divide with you,
And earth seemed Eden come again
With joy and happiness for two.
And you'll kissed you then, my sweet,
While birds sang in the myrtle tree;
looked into your lustrous eyes,
Where your loving heart could see;
II beat with mine. with mine alone,
1t beat for me, for only me.
But now we stand apart, and look
Into each others eyes the while,
And though we know our hearts have found
A new love full OF sweetest guile,
We are not ssd-have regrets
But smile happy, happy smile.
The earth is wonderfully fair,
The sky is wonderfully blue,
And you are more than life to me,
more than all the world to you,
Since baby came and stole our hearts
Our hearts that meier should prove untrue

Week Ending September11, 1892.

PARKERSBURG, Sept. 12.-DRoUGHT.
The drought that was broken bv the
rain on the 9TH has since continued and
reports from all sections indicate that
the results of the present dryness will
be far reaching. The ground in near
~ all sections has beeen too hard to
plow and sowing of fall wheat is some
what retarded. Crops were benefited
put slightly by the rain, although in
some localities the outlook is fairly
good. Streams are very low-some
are reported as dried up. In some dis
tricts farmers have difficulty in pro-
curing sufficient water for stock.

Where Science Fails.

The notion that modern science can find
ont everything is pure illusion, says the
London Spectator. 1t does not know how
the black death came, any more than it
knows how hydrophobia begins, and
would be as powerless to arrest another
visitation Of the same kind as it is to pre-
vent toothache. We all suppose that such
visitations are over; but there is no reason
for the superstition, except that the vital
ity Of the population has increased, which,
as regards large classes, is by no means a
completely demonstrated proposition,
though it is as regards the whole COM
munity.
We may trust the ENERGY OF Provi-
dence II we please, but the mercy of
providence Is not our mercy; it spares
| none OF Us alive, and the human reason
can discover no cause for leaving our peo-
pie unvistted with great epidemic which
should not also have spared the unhappy
population in the valley of the Volga
from their visitation Of famine. We may
discover a cure for Influenza with pneu-
monte complications" as We have discov-
cred cure for ague; and we may not, as
we have not discovered q cure for
the ever increasing ravages of cancer.
We know nothing whatever about it, ex-
cept that healthy living, good shelter and
perfect hygienic drainage do not protect
US in the least, the heir to the throne dy-
ing OF it just as readily as the lowest Co.'S
termonger. The visitation may pass, but
it may also develop into one of those cpl
denies which also breaks the strength Of
nations, and might teach us all, if we
ever learned anything, not to chatter
glibly about the dangerous rate of in
crease, which threatens before long to
overwhelm civilization" Mosquitoes
never swarm thick or display such an
activity as just before cyclone, after
which for half an hour they are neither
quite SO numerous nor quite SO energetic
in the pursuit of pleasant food.
