GROWING CRAZE FOR RANK.

American Mothers and Daughters at the
East Showing Undesirable Development.
The increasing craze for rank on the
part of American mothers and daugh-
ters-for, to do him justice, pater-
familias is as a rule Indifferent to such
empty honors, and only buys his child
the coveted bauble simply to please, or
maybe to quiet, his womankind-is re-
garded by the New York Tribune as
very curious phase of our I'm de steele
civilization. It is certainly not dig
nified nor desirable development on
the part of the daughters of the repub-
lie; but, while English people are
wont to comment scornfully-and per-
haps justly-upon our republican snob-
bishness, they seem to forget that the
intense greed and rapacity for Amer
ican dollars displayed on the part of
their jeunesse doree is still more dis
creditable. Quite new departure has
been inaugurated in these latter-day
transactions, which proves that the
British youth has commercial instinct
that would do credit to the keenest
Yankee. Not only does he now re-
quire that his bride shall be endowed
with an immense fortune, but he

demands that not merely shall papa-in-
laws money be settled on himself and
her children, but that the heritage
shall enrich his noble family in case of
nonissue. In the meanwhile, with the
ingenious and brutal frankness of his
class, he speaks confidently of the time
when he shall have "shunted" of his
American connections forever.
"Have people gone crazy" said On
indignant American mother the other
day, "that they actually put price
upon daughters life, and send her
among strangers who have everything
to gain and nothing to lose by her
death?"
"What dreadfully grewsome idea"
said her companion, rather shocked.
'Well, what is it but that, I should
like to lsnowl You can't deny that If
they grow tired Of her they would
rather have her money without the
encumbrnnce."

ORIGIN OF THE BALLET.

known to Have Flourished In Italy -Four
Hundred Years Ago.
Strictly defined, tho ballet is proper
ly theatrical exhibition Of the art of
dancing in its highest perfection, COM
plying generally with the rules Of the
drama as to its composition aud form.
1t was in existence in Italy as far back
as a. d. 1900, according to Music and
the Drama, the court Of Turin In that
day making especial use Of it and the
royal family and mobiles taking part in
1t. The ballot was first introduced in
Franco in the reign of Louis KILL, and
both that monarch and Louis XIV. oc-
casionally took part in It's dances.
In its earliest presentation the ballet
appeared dexterously in combination
with the other theatrical acts and Is
said to have completed the chaotic
medley exhibited in these spectacles,
which were at once psychological, al
legorical, fantastic, !warlike and pas-
toral." The reader will not be slow
to observe thai its development in the
present day has not apparently lost
sight OF these conditions.
About the year 1700 women made
their first appearance in the ballet,
which up to that time had been per-
formed exclusively by men, as was the
case also with plays and operas, but no
woman ballet dancer of any note ap-
peared until 100, or about q century
ago. As curly as 1850, however, the
ballet had been separated from the
opera and given an independent dra-
matte form. Later on in the century
the ballet assumed the form of a Oroot
rhythmical pantomime, and for many
decades was kept up in the theater of
Milan in most exalted style.

sentative s. B. Cooper of Texas to-
day presented the following resolu-
ton, which was referred to the

/. WHEREAs, In the enactment of
al laws the will of the majority |
should control: and
WHEREAS, There is divided
opinion among the Congressman of
the United States, now assembled
in legislative session, as to the will
Of the people upon the question of

States; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Governors Of
the several States be respectfully
requested to cause to be held an
election in their respective States,
on the first Tuesday in November
next, for the purpose of ascertain
ing the will of the people upon the

SCALES MILLS.

The DeLamar Nugget says: The
tailings mill erected by Mr.. John
Scales at old Wagontown is now
running successfully.
The mill contains four amalga-
mating pans ard two settlers, driven
by thirty horse power engine, is
we'll and substantially constructed,
with shafting and space of two
additional pans and one settler.
The arrangements of the mill are
convenient except that at present
the tailings have to be delivered
from the pan floor to the reservoirs
by wagons. Later on it is proposed
to put in tram to draw the pulp
up by steam power, the distance
not being great.
The immense reservoirs now con-
tain about $4,000 tons of tailings
carried into them by tlume from
the DeLamar mill, to which are
daily being added fully one hun.
dred. These tsilings although not
rich, contain considerable chlorides
which float of, and the waste Of
lost quicksilver. Their two Of
three years exposure in the yard'
oxidizes the chlori0es and makes i
possible to save the values and tn
waste quicksilver is more than i
required for amalgamation. Tn
cost of working these tailings sec
ond time will leave fair profit from
every ton worked even though tn
assay be small. The mill has no
yet been in operation q suffi Glen
time to estimate results, but tn
general opinion prevailing here
that the persons interested her
have quite bonanza in this entel
prise.

her in the railroad station, waiting for

"'Ain't you drummer" she in

looking round with mysterious man
ner, ITO consult you, doctor, about my
foot"
'Yes?" said the doctor. sitting a
yawn and looking at his watch. "Hsve
you injured it in any way?"
"Oh, no; but it pains constantly, and
can hardly get my shoe on"
TOO small?" suggested the doctor,
glancing cautiously in the direction OF
his patients feet, which were invisible.
"No, doctor; my shoes are twice too
large for me-"
"Perhaps that is the trouble?" sug-
gested the doctor, looking as If he were
trying to,believe it.
alt is only one foot that is affected"
perhaps you had better see achirop-
odist," said the doctor.
"Oh, no, indeed; it's much more
seriovs than that. can't imagine
what it is, but 1t is really very pain
full"
"And you say you have not injured
it, madame
'sNever. You see, I've not been in a
railroad accident or runaway, or been
run over by an electric car or anything.

Why Not Use the Best ?

"There are numerous preparations In
the market for coughs, colds, cronp and
whooping cough. Among them we
wish TO call your special attention to
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is
sold on its merits. This assertion is
warranted by its sales, which surpass
any preparation of similar nature. l
hear nothing but praise from customers
who have used it." The above is what
Eugene P. Unangst, the leading drug
gist of Bethlehem, Pa, says in a circu-
lar to his customers. He has sold at
retail over one thousand bottles of this
remedy during the past year, and knows
1t to be without an equal. The praise
that naturally follows it's Introduction
ana use is what makes it popular.

Concerning Recent Appointments.

FGiiTn0Rt Inder-To the appointment
of Mr.. Vinson no one can have the least
objection. While he is not generally
known In this end OF the State, yet he
has the reputation of being very COM
petent gentleman, and has for years
been good party worker, and for the
promotion of such q man the Indec re-
joiees. II Is understood that Mr.. Lafe
Garden, of Wheeling, is to be the chief
deputy under Mr.. Vinson, which will
be very pleasing TO Mr.. Gardens friends
In this section who were anxious for
him to get the Marshalship.
Tygdrt'S Valley Ne,rS-The Fairmont
Inder opposed the appointment of Col.
Joe Miller for Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue: but Mr.. Miller was appointed
all the same. The Inder continues TO
throw spit balls at him, however, and
It is impossible to say what good such
proceeding is doing the Iilder, or what
harm It Is doing 70 Col. Miller.
Fdi7nORt IRdCr-The only objection
any Democrat ever made to the appoint
ment Of General Watts was the fact
that he held the position under the
former administration Of Mr.. Cleveland,
and it was thought the public favors
should be distributed The President
thought differently, aud everybody Will
submit gracefully, for no one doubts but
that the General will discharge the
duties Of the office in a most satisfac-
tory manner
