PECULIAR CASE.
WEST VIRGIN
IANs ALLEGED TO BE
IMPLICATED in the Killing Of
an old man in Baltimore.

The Baltimore Herald of Thurs
day con tains an account Of the
asath of one Paul Raimhild, an
ared German Of that city, in
shicn it appears that a number
Ii well.known and prominent
voung West yirginians may be
Seriously implicated. Raimhild
boarded at the house of Mrs.
NARY Bowers, III South Han
oyer street, Baltimore. The
West Virginia party stopped at
he same house, and in a frolic
h some sort it is alleged that the
HE injuries were inflicted on
Ralmbild from which he died.
The Herald says: Coroner
Davis told a Herald reporter that
be had received a letter from one
barrett Walmsley, of Beverly,
IN. Va, stating that Raimhild's
Injuries were the result ofafrolic.
Sergeant Gilbert. who made an
Investigation of the case, found
r. =
that a party of five persons had
been stopping at the boarding
house. The names We're: Jarrett
Walmsley, Wesley Harding, Nell
SON Wilson and Stark e. Rowan,
of Beverly, w. Va, and Edward
IWalmsley, of Hsutt o n s.

Sersation about the parties from
Beverly: I've just got a letter

PIN to let him see it. This he
siused. Coroner Davis said,

This request was evidently

some Mexicans travelling with

The weather was warm and

On Sunday, November 18th, it
rained and camp did not move.
Some Of the boys went out to

Near our camp were ruins Of
an ancient building about 30 feet
square and containing five rooms.
On Monday, November 18th,
we marched about 10 miles and
scamped by a small spring. Grass
was plentiful but wood scarce.

Take life easy. Nothing prolongs life
like a cheerful disposition. Make haste
slowly. The snail outran the hare and
won the race. Avoid all worry. Care
wrinkles the brow and dries up the foun-
tain of life. Don't get angry. Every
burst of passion shOrtens life's span one
inch. BE moderate in all things and
temperate in your habits. Remember
"sleep is natures kind restorer," and il
you would live long, sleep long.
Above all take care of yourself If you
are not feeling well there is something
wrong and nature needs to be stimulated
in her work. The best physicians in the
country recommend Klein's Silver Age
and Duquesne Rye for such a purpose.
They are for sale by dealers generally at
Sl.5O and Sl.25 per quart respectively.

PENNSYLVANIA AT CHICAGO.
The State Building-SuggestiOns to
Citizens of the State Who Visit the
Worlds Fair

The Pennsylvania State Building is
one of the most beautiful and striking
on the Worlds Fair grounds and adj
mirably located, near the fifty-seventh
street entrance directly facing the
Art Palace. Style of architecture is
Colonial, reproducing the historical
clock tower and other features of In
dependence Hall in Philadelphia.
The famous bell which proclaimed
"Liberty througout all the land" will
be placed in the rotunda at the main
entrance and many historical relics
of priceless value, such as Penn's
treaty with the Indians, the original
charter, portraits of distinguished
Pennsylvaniaus, rare documents etc,
will have place in the building.
Our State Building was constructed
by Pennsylvania mechanics of Penn
sylvania material; the floors of marble
and hard woods; the wainscot, panell-
ings, etc., are taken from the hand
soonest woods of Pennsylvania forests.
This stately and imposing building is
surrounded by broad and graceful
piazzas, upon which several hundred
easy chairs are placed; the main
entrance opens into central rotunda
thirty feet in diameter and forty feet
high.
In the rear Is large reception room
extending the entire length of the
Building; to the right and left are the
parlors, toilet rooms, ETC., etc. Broad,
easy stair-cases lead to the second
story, where waiting rooms, Cover
nor's rooms, and offices of Executive
Commissioner will be located. The
doors and windows of the second story
open out upon broad verandas admi-
rably arranged for promenading and
sightseeing and outside stair-cases
lead to the roof garden, from which
may be had magnificent bird's-eye
view of the grounds and lake.
Surmounting the main facade of the
building are several allegorical pieces
of statuary; the Pennsylvania Coat of
Arms, the horses developed life size.
Flanking this group upon either side
are statues of William Penn and Ben
iamin Franklin. The allegorical
groups at the right and left angles OF
the building are indicative of the pro.
gress and influence developed by the
resources of the State, Mines and
Mining and others.
The Pennsylvania State Building is
the only one in which the kindred arts
ofarch;tecture and sculptue have been
so happily combined. The architect
Mr.. Thomas p. Lonsdale, and the
sculptor, John j. Boyle,of Philadel'
phia, are entitled to the greatest
credit
A. b. Farquar, EXective Commits
sloner of the Board of Worlds Fail
Managers for the State, sends out the
following suggestions for Pennsyl
vanians who intend visiting the
Worlds Fair:
First-All Pennsylvanians who at
tend the Worlds Fair are advised t.
first visit the State Building. This
they can readily accomplish by enter
ing the grounds at the Fifty seventh
street entrance, near which, and JUS
