VOTING FOR U. $. SENATOR'S.

Senator Finley Replies to Judge Arm
strong's Criticism, Recently Pub
lished in the Register.
To the Editor Of the Register:

Romney, W. Va, recites the fol-
lowing from the Baltimore Sun:
"Mr. Enjoys joint resolution
favoring the election of United
States Senators by direct vote of
the people, instructing our Sena
tors and requesting our Represen-
tativesin Congress to do SO, was
taken up yesterday and passed by
the Senate. Its passage was has
tened by a letter received by Mr..
Finley announcing that the resolu-
ton looking to this change from
the present method had already
passed the House of Representa-
tives, and it was deemed NJ portant
that the Senate should; act speed
ily."
lie then severely criticises the
State Senate for it's hasty action,
and in effect asks: Who wrote the
letter spoken of? At whose behest
was the West Virginia Senate In

Paradoxical almost as it NAV
seem his party had no more loved
representative than Mr.. Blaine and
yet it never gave him such support
as would give to him the presidency
OF the nation. Bitter dissppoint-
ment was his because Of this. In
his latter days, too, his life was
clouded by domestic troubles. Few
men go more frequently to the
grave with remains Of dearly-loved
ones than did Mr.. Blaine in the
past few years. disappointment
and bereavement by death worked
on a nervous constitution and made
more heavy the inroads Of adyanc-
ing years.
Mr.. Blame was courageous
man and his recent defiance Of his
party and Its mistaken policy Whom

THE WEST.

Mrs. Mary E. Lease wrote the
following poem while riding on the
train on her way home from Georgia
in company with General and Mrs.
Weaver:
have stood where the fair Pacific
Softly kisses golden sands,
Where the breath of Eden murmurs
Through the trees Of tropic lands;
Where the lilies and the roses
Fairest flowers God has given
Ope their petals, lift their fragrance,
Waiting voiceless songs to Heav-
en-;
Caught the fragrance of the balsam,
Heard the pines Eolian song,
Where white cataracts plash IN music
Mid the wales of Oregon
Seen Mt. Shasta, century-guarded.
lift his snow crowned, mighty
head
Where the lightnir gs CLEANED and
dazzled,
And the storm.cloud hung dread
On the CULTS blue, placid waters,
Watched the sea CULTS circling
flight;
Mid the orange groves of Florida,
Heard the voices of the night.
Yet, my heart leaped back
To the measureless track
OF Western prairies green
To the billowy miles Of wheat and
corn,
And the sunfower's splendid
sheen.
And though fair the lands and bright
the flowers
My pilgrim feet have pressed,
Yet my heart is thine, Oh land Of
mine,
Free, beautiful, boundlcss West.

AFFINITY.

Strange my past was unaware
OF thy presence anywhere;
That we met as strangers meet,
Moving with reluctant feet
Toward this passion new and sweet
Loved SO late, can years atone
For the past we lived alone?
Hands and lips have touched and wed
Hands and lips will soon be dead,
Grasses waving overhead.
Yet, O love, thou vast and art
And shall be changeless part
Of my being. Gad-and free
Is our natures harmony,
AS when perfect cords agree.
Past and future both ave here
Folded in the present, dear,
Like rose that parteth wide
Petals in the summer-tide
When the bud is glorified.
Life was hidden in it's breast
Ere the fragrant lips confess
Life remaineth-though 1t he
In the dust-eternally,
Beauty was not born to die.
When we leave the shadow land
Passing outward hand in hand,
Into summer and the sun,
Where all restlessness is done
And the perfect peace begun
Will it matter that the years
Dealt us doubt and pain and tears !
Death can only set us free;
Wide and sweet to me and thee
Opens our eternity.

STANZAS ON FREEDOM


Men !. whose boast it is that We
Come of fathers brave and free,
If there breathe on earth slave,
Are we truly free and brave
If We do not feel the chain
When it works a brothers pain,
Are we not base slaves indeed
Slaves un worthy to be freed
Womenl who shall one day bear
Sons to breathe New England's air,
If we hear, without blush,
Deeds to make the reused blood rush
Like red lava through your veins,
For your sisters now in chains
Answer are we fit to be
Mothers of the brave and free!

The Bengal Boar.

Possibly in moments of enthusi-
asm and wassail the Bengal boar
may have been overpraised. He has
not a pleasant temper; his habits are
open to unfavorable criticism; he
may fail in his family relations, but
he has plenty of pluck. He will
fight anything that comes in his way,
not even a tiger daunts him, and
what is more the tiger sometimes
succumbs to the terrible tusks of the
boar
have seen a boar bearing away
from such heroic battle the marks
deep and frequent marks-of tigers
claws, and that boar swan the
Ganges in food-a sufficient feat fol
an unwounded animal and one that
should set at rest the question
whether pigs can swim.
A dangerous brute is that Benga
boar. Throughout the whole of my
sporting career only two of my beat
ers were killed, and one of these wa.
cut to death by a boar. A leopard
killed the other. Not one was eithel
killed or mauled by tigers.
But my first experiences in thii
line were, / regret to say, less con
nected with the mighty boar thai
with the SOW, which, though it can
not rip up horses tanks or bell.
as can the boar, can gallop little
and instead of ripping can bite

A SPIRITuALlSTIc SURPRISE.

An Alleged Remarkable Case of Materials
zation and Decentralization.
Talking about wonderful expert
ences in investigating spirit phenom-
ena," said DR.. Bell of Allegheny,
''the most extraordinary ever saw
occurred to me a short time ago. 1t
is something that Is uneXplanable.
I've tried to reason it, but without
success. The incident l refer to oc-
CURED at a seance given for me by
celebrated medium. Several forms
had come out of the cabinet, but
there was nothing extraordinary
about them. At last the form of a
girl about 12 years of age came out.
She was dressed in white and had ex-
tremely short hair.
Il noticed the hair as soon as she
appeared and suggested to her in a
kindly manner that it would improve
her appearance if it was longer.
She looked at me a minute, then
turning her back said, I'll make it
grow longer for you, SO that you can
see how I look was surprised at
this reply and watched her closely.
Shortly the hair got longer and long
er until it reached nearly to the
floor. 1t seemed impossible that
such a thing could be, and stood
gazing at her puzzled. She then said
"'You look as though you do not
believe what you see. It's all true.
To make sure, won't you cut off a
piece of my hairF l hadn't anything
but small pocketknife with me, SO
I took this out, and taking hold of
the lower part of the hair sawed
away until l had nice lock cut off.
There I had the hair in my hand.
1t was soft, silky and of a beautiful
color. I looked at it awhile and
then thought it would bea convincing
thing to show to my skeptic friends.
I took a small piece of paper lying on
the table by me and wrapped up the
lock carefully. then put it in my
vest pocket.

until nothing but the head was left
1t remained there looking up at me
smiling, when suddenly it was trans
formed into the face of an old man
and the hand which ] still held wa
changed from the soft small hand ol
the girl into the large hard hand ol
the man. The figure then rose ou
of the floor until it stood before mt

That spelling is not the necessary
attribute of cleverness or inability to
spell the necessary mark of fool is
plain enough. No one who thinks
for a minute or two on the matter
will fail to remember that he knows
one or two men who cannot write
the simplest note without misspell-
ings. and that these are by no means
the most stupid of his acquaintances,
but often the cleverest.
The Duke of Wellington, it is noto-
rious, could not spell and there have
been plenty of other men of his men,
tai caliber quite as illiterate. Some
one has lately collected list of dis
tinguished Frenchmen who could not
spell, and heads it with Theirs, who,
though not a genius, was certainly
one of the cleverest men that ever
lived. Theirs never could manage
to spell his native language, though
as a writer he was correct enough

Collar. In the Commons,

An observant parliamentary re-
porter has been noting the styles of
collars affected by the English states
men in the house of commons. c.
R. Spencer wears the highest collar.
1t is inches deep and looks like
a cuff. John Morley wears narrow
''turnovers. Joey Chamberlain uses
the white wings" pattern and
changes his collars three times a day.
Bloody" Balfour wears 'turnovers"
which eXaggerate the length of his
neck. Sir William Harcourt affects
the fat mems pattern, size Is, with
flaring points. Mr.. Gladstone's col
lars, familiar to every one through
cartoons, are bigger and higher than
ever and threaten in time to reach
quite to the tops of his ears.-Lon-

A Tip That Was a Tip.

once failed to get hold of the latest
edition of a good story. 1t is true
that modest gentleman" who was
shooting over the moors of certain
millionaire offered the keeper three
sovereigns, and it is true that the
gift was rejected by the keeper on
the ground that he accepted paper
alone, but it is not true that the
guest thereupon complained to his
host, who said, If you can't tip like
a gentleman, you should not tip at
all" The sequel was not thus. The
modest gentleman" was in fact a
well known London journalist, and

uenberat1on IN It's native liquid, out
of its own shell, unspoiled by any
method of cooking. But there are
many people who are fond of the
oyster cooked, who cannot touch it
in the raw, and for these are the in
veutions of stewed, steamed, panned,
fancy roasts and other designs, which
are produced at the restaurants with
much painstaking on the part of
cooks. While the oyster is believed
to be the lowest form of animal life,
it is also known to be acutely sensi-
tive to noise, light and intrusion of
any kind. 1t is not Il fighter, nor has
any exhibitor ever succeeded in
showing to the world a tanned oyster.
1t is vigilant but silent. Mum as

Cardine Cotton.

A recent improvement consists of
the driving of the taker in and doffer
of carding engines for car ling cot
ton or other fibrous material by one
continuous band. This is accom-
plished by placing on the cylinder
a band pulley, which gives motion
to a band of rope, this band then
passing around pulley on the taker
in shaft and from thence around
the pulley that drives the doffer
Returning from this pulley it again
passes around the pulley on the taker
in shaft, which has two grooves
placed in it in order to keep the
bands of ropes separate, and returns
again to the cylinder. By putting a
double grooved pulley ON the cylin-
der and three grooves on the taker
in pulley additional power may be
obtained to drive the various parts.
But even with the single groove upon
the cylinder pulley the band passes
twice around the pulley on the taker
in, thus obtaining a more effectual
result than is practicable with a
crossed belt between the cylinder
and taker in.-New York Sun.
