FEET TOO SMALL.
Many Women Perfectly Formed Except
as to Their Feet.

Many Women Perfectly Formed Except
as to Their Feet.
Louis Xavier, a Partisan sculptor now
making a tour of America, sat in the
corridor of the Southern the other day
and discussed the human form divine,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat:
"It is not true, as the world generally
suppose, that ideal statues are compo-
sites. Yes, l have read that sculptors
use n number of models for one statue,
copying the head of one, the bust of
another, the limbs of a third, and so on.
Some sculptors may resort to such
ridiculous patchwork, but imagine the
effect would be far from pleasing.
Perfectly formed women are by no
means SO rare as generally supposed.
Not one woman in a dozen has been
seriously deformed by tight lacing, and
the high-hceled shoes, that formerly
played such havoc with shapely limbs,
have about gone out of fashion. But
perfectly formed female foot is now
rara avis. The world appears to have
adopted the Chinese idea that the
smaller the foot the prettier it is, and
the result is that perfectly modelled feet
arc cramped and abused until not line
of beauty is left. Now any sculptor,
any artist, will tell you that foot too
small to harmonic with the figure is an
actual dcforlnity. 1 would rather see
the foot too large, if it be shapcly, than
too small. Think of Juno who stands
five feet seven inches and tips the scales
at one hundred and fifty pounds teeter-
ing TO and fro on No. or No. . feet!
She should wear No. at the very
least. and No. would not be out Of
proportion.
Like the foot, the hand should har-
monte. with the body. 4 little string
of hand on n lusty Minerva, who tow
crs up nearly six feet tall, is shocking
to true artistic taste. Did you ever see
man whose nose was too small for his
face? Well, it is just as necessary that
the hand and foot should be in harmony
with the figure as that the nose should
fit the face. Some day people will
learn this, and then as many people
will wear padded shoes as now limp
along in footgear a size too small.
Madam will then be as much ashamed
of n hand too small as she now is of one
too large"

CURIOUS CAR FERRY.

gan to Wisconsin by Water.
A car ferry across Lake Michigan will
be one Of the curiositics this season of
navigation. Within a month the ferry
will be established between Franlzfort.
the Michigan terminus OF the Toledo,
Ann Arbor &c Northern Michigan rail-
road, and Kcwauncc, Wis, where
through connections will be made with
the Winona e st. Paul railroad. The
cars will be loaded directly at the ferry,
and, after crossing the lake, will be run
ashore, thus avoiding the heavy OK
pense involved in unloading from cars
to steamer and then from steamer into
cars again.
The ferry will be combination of
the Chesapeake bay boat and the cur
transfers used at Detroit and Port
Huron. They will be built to with
stand the most furious storms raging on
Lake Michigan, particularly during the
winter, as they arc designed to run all
the year round. They will have twin
screws and an ice-crusher at the bow.
Two boats for this novel ferry are now
under construction by the Craig Ship
building Company at Toledo, o. They
arc $50 feet long, SO feet wide and ~
feet deep. Each will carry twenty-four
loaded freight cars on four tracks,
which run from end to end. 1t is said
that it will cost but s2 to carry car
across Lake Michigan on the new ferry
as against s. where bulk Is twice
broken. The two boats will cost $780,
600 each, and will be fitted up with all
modern appliances. Particular attcn-
ton will be paid to guarding the ma
chinery against accident while in mid
lake.

The Dead Letter Room.

An interesting portion of the Dead
Letter Office is the room in which an
accumulation is made of those arti-
Giles on which an insufficient amount
of postage is paid, or which have
been ineompletely or wrongly ad-
dressed, writes Alice Graham Nc
Collin in an interesting sketch of the
presiding genius of the Dead Letter
Office, in the September Ladies Home
journal. IL is a most heterogeneous
collection, ranging in kind from skulls
to confectionery, and in value from
one cent to one thousand dollars.
Sales of these articles are held an
nually, after they have been held for
claim for over two years, and after
every effort has been exhausted to
find the owners the parcels become
matters of public investment. Most
of the packages contain articles of
too small value to be sold separately,
so parcels containing the contents
of several packages are made up and
sold at an average price of go cents
each. The attempt is made TO have
the articles in each package worth
that amount. The original wrappers
are removed from the parcels, and
new ones, on which is written de
scription of the contents, substituted.
This description is also entered in
the auctioneer's sales book, and from
tbia 1aGpripfiop MT fran, a yNorsopal
examination, the purchase is made.
The sale is held in December, before
the holiday season, and continues for
about a week. The proceeds, like the
money found in unclaimed letters,
are delivered to the Third Assistant
Postmaster General for deposit in the
United States Treasury.

State News.

While trying to hammer a car
fridge out of revolver, Maurice
Wetzel, aged eleven, of Harper's
Ferry, was shot in the right eye. He
was taken to Washington City for
treatment.
On Thursday night of last week
the Postofiice at Warrington was
broken into and robbed of about
1925 worth of stamps, also some
small change and three registered
letters. The safe in which the
stamps were kept was a very old
one and the combination was easily
worked. Money order remittance
and other valuable papers had been
taken home by the Postmaster and
were thus saved There is no clue
to the robbers. They effected an
entrance to the office by the use of a
ladder, climbing it to a rear window
over the creek bank.
Newt Cunningham, of Braxton
county, attended the Worlds Fair.
Newt ran across fellow who claim
ed to be from West Virginia and
then the two ran across fellow play
ing little game with shells. Newt
wouldn't play and the fellow with
the game bet him $50 that he didn't
have fifty dollars. This made Newt
hot and he pulled out his roll; 800,
and gave it to his new found friend
to count, Just then a mock police
man stepped up and arrested Newt,
while his friend and the man with
the game ran away. The officer then
released Newt and told him to get
back to West Virginia.
Lloyd Delaney, young man from
below Parkersburg, and his broth
err, an employe of city firm, were
crossing the Little Kanawha bridge
on the Ohio River Railroad, last
week, when the south bound pas
senger train backed down on them.
The men were afraid to jump to the
paved streets forty feet below, and
undertook to drop down and hang to
the ties by their hands till the train
passed Before Lloyd could get in
position the train caught him, crush
ing off the right leg and left hand.
The severed member fell through to
the street below, but the terribly in
jured man managed to hang to the
end of the ties till the train had
passed and help arrived He was
taken to esidence near by, where
a physician amputated the crushed
leg and hand. Delaney is still
alive, but very weak from the shock.

Legislative Failures.

II should not be forgotten that the
present business troubles are occurring
whilst the Mckinley law and the Sher-
man law are in full force and effect and
after the country has had the benefit
of their operations some two or three
years. These two laws are the most
conspicuous acts passed by Mr.. Thorn
as B. Reeds celebrated Fifty first Con-
gress. The Shermen law was deliber-
ately put upon the country as meas
ure to provide safe and abundant
currency. Under its operations the
present financial stringency has occur
red; money is scarce and confidence
impaired.
The Mckinley bill was devised and
put upon the people with the assur-
ance that manufacturing would be
promoted, wages increased, prices
cheapened and a home market foster
ed, which would always insure to the
farmer a good price for his products.
Under the operations of this law grave
labor agitations arose from dissatis-
faction with wages, the export trade
OF the country has diminished, the
price of wheat has fallen lower than
1t ever was before, the buying ability
of the farmers has been SO diminished
that factories have no adequate mar
ket for their wares and their products
remain dead capital on their hands.
These two laws, therefore, have proved
failures. They have not operated as
their trainers declared they would OPP
crate, and now they should be repeal
ed. This is sound common sense.

OHIO COUNTY AT THE UNIVERSITY.
Prof. Il. A. Armstrong Reports Much
Interest Here in the Institution,

Prof. r. A. Armstrong, of the State
University, was in the city yesterday,
and to a reporter stated that the af-
fairs of the University were in excel
lent shape, generally. He said:
II have done some work through.
out the county in the interests of the
University, and find quite favorable
sentiment towards the institution,
and some enthusiastic workers for it.
The delegation from Ohio county
will be larger this year-ten-than
for some time, andthe county quota
in the cadet corps is full. All the
old students from the county return,
so far as | know. Some of the stu
dents will go as graduates from Lins
ly, some from the West Liberty Nor
NAL school, and some are graduates
of the ward schools. These students
are the sons of the most prominent
and influential citizens Of Ohio coun.
ty Most of them are personally
known to me, and they are bright,
energetic boys, who will do credit to
themselves and to the institution.
We hope for even o larger number
in the future. "-Register.

THIRTY Red MEN
WHOM THE SHERIFF OFKANAWHA
COUNTY Is AFTER.
They are Alleged to Have Cruelty Beat
Ell Miner Who Went to Work
Regardless of Strike.
A Deputy After the
Parties.
Kane Gazette

The old time "Red Men" which
preceded the White Caps in terroriz
ing the communities in which their
organization flourished and which
dealt out justice-or injustice-sum
marily to the victims they supposed
deserving of their attention, whose
lawless acts became at one time of
such frequent occurrence that spec,
ial laws were passed by the legisla
ture to cover their cases and provide
a punishment commensurate with
their crimes, have once more made
their appearance in Kanawha county.
1t seems that miner living near
Montgomery was taken from his
house one night last week, beaten in
terrible manner and subjected to
the most cruel treatment, because he
continued to work in the mines when
his associates want to strike. Pun
ishment was melted out to him, it is
said, by the Red Men, under the
rules and regulations of the organi-
cation, and as this is held by the stat
utes to be conspiracy against
the State government the penalties
are very severe. 1t is said that
thirty men are involved in the m after
that they are known and will be tried
for conspiracy.
Deputy Sheriff j. A. Chase, went
to Montgomery yesterday to arrest
two of the men and they will be tried
first, with the understanding that
theirs will be made test cases and il
convictions are secured the rest of
the party will be at once arrested
and put on trial. The cases will
come up before Squire Swaar and
will occupy the greater part of the
present week.

A SNAKE story was related TO us
yesterday the truth of which is
vouched for by two reliable gentle
men to the effect that Mr.. +. G. Mil
Ter, residing on the Hooppole Road
about six miles north of Oakland,
killed snake, blue black in color,
which measured four feet six inches.
But this is not the strange part of
the story as a snake that length is
commonly found among the noun
tains. After the snake had been
dispatched, in it, were found eighty
young ones, bv actual measurement
each being five and one half inches
in length. The mouth of the old
snake was measured and found to
be three and one half inches wide
when distended Can the Preston
County Journal or the Morgaatown
NEw DOMINION trot out ANYTHING to
beat this2-Oahlaad Republican.
When our snake editor heard of that
snake, which bears his private mark,
being killed lie was so mad that it
took four men to hold him. He
turned III six weeks old baby snakes
loose on Hooppole to breed and that
is one of them. Its mamma gave
birth to the l2l and each one was
49, inches long, The mother is
kept about the office and is 81 feet
81 inches long with mouth, when
distended, large enough to admit of
swallowing 800 pound delinquent
subscriber or the Oakland snake
liar.

Two Youthful Train Robbers.

For some time past complaints
have been made to the b. d o. Off
cials, by shippers of goods over tho
road, that articles and goods had not
been reaching their destination. The
Officials soon became aware that the
cars were being broken open, at
point between Wheeling and Grafton,
and placed the cause in the hands of
their special constable, John Burley,
the efficient Town Marshall of Cam
eron, and it only took that gentleman
a day until he had the guilty parties
under arrest. On Monday he went
to Hundred, Wetzel county, and ar
rested fifteen year old boy named
Chas. Berdine, who had been acting
in suspicious manner, after which
he made full confession before
Squire Hamilton, and implicated an
eighteen year old boy named Samuel
White as being the ruling spirit in
the theft. He said that they had en-
tered the car at Board Tree tunnel
and had thrown out goods Mt differ
ent points from there until the train
reached Glovers Gap. From advice
received from Berdine, Constable
Burley recovered barrel of fine cut
glass ware and n lot of matches which
had been hid in the woods. Both
boys were taken to New Mart;nsville,
w. Va, to await their trial at the
next term of court.
