The following comprehensive inscription
recording the virtues Of an ancient Count
ess Of Wcstmoreland and written by her
husband was formerly to be seen in a large
room at Budstone place in the county of
Kont, once a seat belonging to that noble
family. 1t is q portrait more beautiful than
any of the elegant productions Of Kneller
or Reynolds and would ornament with a
peculiar grace q lady's dressing room, thus
inspiring the owner to emulate so exquisite
a model.
Says the memorial in the quaint style of
another century: "Shee feared God and
knewe how to serve him: She assyned
tymes for her devotions and kept them:
Shee was q perfect Wife and trewe Frende:
Shee joyed moste to oblidge those neerest
and deerest to her: Shee was still the same
ever kynde and never troublesome: Often
preventing my desires: Disputing none;
P~roventilie monaging all that was myne:
Lyvinge in Appearance above myne estate
while sho advanced it: Shee was of a CRETE
spirit; sweettie tempered: of o. sharp wit
without offence; Of excellent speeche blest
with silence; Of q brave Fashion to WHINE
respect and to daunt Boldness; p~leesynge
to nile Of her sex, entyre with Fewe, delyt-
inge in the best; ever avoyding all persons
and places in their honor b%lemyshed, and
was as free from doing lille as giving the
occasion: Shee dyed as she lyved-well."

Especial Correspondence


CowEs, Isle Of Wight. Sept. 18.-While
Englishmen, one and all, are congratulate
ing each other upon the successive victories
OF tho Prince Of Wales crack yacht I,ri-
ANNA over the American Navahoe in tho
races recently sailed here, they are not SO
sure Of the result Of the contest about to
take place in American waters between the
Valkyrie and the Vigilant, respectively rcp-
%resenting the Royal Yacht club of England
and that Of New York.
They are not unmindful Of the fact that
on a certain day in August, 1851, there
sailed into this harbor an unknown and UNI
tried little vessel, now famous us tho yacht
America. Throwing down her challenge,
she entered n race with IS Of the swiftest
yachts Of which Britain could boast, out
sailed tho whole fleet Of splendid COMPETE
tors by nearly eight miles and proudly bore
away "the cup Of all nations" the trophy
offered by the queen. Nor have they for.
gotten how from time to time the struggle
has been renewed for it's recovery and fol
lowed by disappointment. But with true
British grit they once more invite defeat.
That it may come, and come swiftly, is the
prayer of an American 'looker on here in
Vienna"
No Britisher dreamed that any nation
could produce yacht that would match
the beautiful vessels which cruised about
the English channel and visited the shores
Of the Mediterranean every summer as the
perfection Of naval architecture. OF the II
yacht clubs then existing In various parts
of the United Kingdom, not one had ever
seen a foreigner enter the lists in tho an
nual matches. 1t was barely known that
there was an imperial yacht club in St.
Petersburg, maintained by the imperial
treasury, to encourage q nautical spirit
among the nobility, and that a few own
ers of yachts at Rotterdam had enrolled
themselves as a club, but until the Amer
lea came over the few who were aware Of
the fact that there was a flourishing club
in New York did not regard it as of the
slightest consequence or as at all likely to
interfere with their monopoly of the glory
of the manifest of all sports. When, how
ever, her enterprising owners offered to
back the America against any other yacht
for the large sum of $500 0 or acup or piece
Of plate, their eyes were opened.
On the day of the race, Aug. 22, a large
portion of the British peerage and gentry
assembled to witness the struggle, and even
the queen of England did not deem the oc-
casion unworthy Of her presence. Never
before had Cowes been such a center Of
attraction. Upward Of 100 yachts lay at
anchor in the Roads, the beach was crowd
ed. flags floated from the beautiful villas
that dot the wooded coast, while throngs
of excursion steamers fitted about flied
with crowds who expected to witness the
discontinue of "the Yankee pilotboat."

Statistics Of Embezzlements.

Statisticians nowadays apply their indus
try to all sorts Of subjects. One of the
most curious and suggestive Of these ef-
forts is that Of a Chicago paper to make a
complete record of the embezzlements ex-
posed during the year. The figures by
months are as follows: January, s7l5,0Ol;
February. 81 ,226, 1913; March, s546, AL; April,
s6o2, 100; May, s1.652, 1877; June. s765, 800;
July, 81, 1874, $50. This makes a total Of
Sc, 701, l2l to July 81. The record for Au-
gust exceeds the total for any entire pre-
vious month.

A Needlewoman.
She works upon the tidy white
In manner strangely neat.
The figures which the damask light
Arc picturesquely sweet.
She makes a peaceful lamb or two
A-frisking on tho hill,
And flowers red and gold and blue,
Beside a wayside rill.
The silken dove she does with taste
In tones of pearl and rose,
And vines that softly Irvine in chaste
Arcadian repose.

To think his darling wife
A button can't sew on to save
Her sweet and precious life.

LITTLE RUTH is no longer the
baby at the White House. A little
sister arrived there last Saturday,
and while GROVER is disappointed
because it is not boy, neverthe-
less, kilograms of congratulations
are pouring into Washington from
all parts Of the world. An inter
esting feature connected with this
event is that this is the first time
in the history Of the republic that
the wall of the new born infant of
the President of the United States
has been heard within the walls of
the White House.

A PLANK-WALK WANTED.

Editor CHRONICLE:
1t would be economy to build good
substantial plank-walk from the Arnold
House to the college.
In the first place the shoes that the
children would wear outpulling through
the sticky mud would cost more than
your prorata investment in the side
walk.
In the second place the coughs, colds,
and probably pneumonia, contracted by
wading through the slush and snow this
winter could doubtless be avoided to q
great extent.
l would suggest that the principal of
the school ascertain the probable, or
rather the actual cost of building the
walk from some contractor, and then
prorata the cost between the patrons Of
the school, according to the number Of
pupils from each household.
There are also over forty Knights Of
Pythias belonging to Bayham Lodge
No. SO, who, / am confident, would be
willing to bear their prorata OF the ex.
pense for good sidewalk
Ibelieve this would meet the approval
of everyone.
The Rev, ID. L. Moody told his audi
ence at the Haymarket theater in Chica
go, that if they wanted the gospel preach
ed to the poor and fallen wretches in tina
city for three or four weeks longer t.
signify that fact by raising their hands
The audience almost as one man helC
their hands up. Now" said he, tax,
your hands down aud shove them ava,
down in your pockets and bring out you
cash literally, for it will take 1915 to pa,
expenses for that length of time"
Now, fellow-citizens, if you are Gale,
upon to contribute to the building of th
sidewalk do not hesitate to do so, bu

that cold Talk" is mighty cheap, bu
that Mr.. Do" is the man.

The comptroller Of the curren-
cy furnished some figures recently
which show in forcible manner
where the money Of the country has
gone. The decrease in the depos-
its of three-fourths of the national
banks from May 4 to July 10, this
year, amountedtoS131, 100000. An
estimate Of the decrease in other
national banks swells this total to
S177,000,000. A part of the shrink
age has been charged to a decrease
of loans and decline of current bus
mess, but the money has been with
drawn from circulation and is not
in the banks.

ACCORDING to the proceedings in
the United States Senate, the num-

some of the Western Senators to
prolong the discussion Of the Sher-

regular game Of freeze-out in that
body. Notwithstanding Congress
has been in session nearly six weeks
the Senate, to all appearances, is no
nearer a conclusion upon the repeal
Of the bullion purchasing clause of
the Sherman law than the day after

QUICK WORK.
A Divorce Granted--Married Within One
Hour Afterward.


Hour Afterward.
Huntingdon Democrat
Huntingdon was treated yestesday aft
ernoon to something Of a sensation in the
way of a marriage. Several years ago
Miss Willie Wick, Of the .tweDty-second
district, was married to James Marsh,
who lived with her only short time.
She recently filed bill for divorce, and
there being no objection a decree giving
her a divorce was granted. While the
decree was being prepared for record, and
before the courts action had been made
record of, Mrs. Marsh left the court room
and was met at the door by j. B. Russell,
whom she had agreed to marry as soon
as the legal bonds between herself and
former husband were removed.
The prospective groom, happythat the
time had come when his fondest hopes
were to be realized when he was to be
united in marriage to the one he loved,
FASTENED to the county court clerk Office
to obtain the legal documents necessary
to effect the union. The young lady went
to husky & Kornman'sstore and awaited
his coming. She did not have to tarry
alone long, for Mr. Russell soon appeared
with the accommodating magistrate, Mr..
T. N. Landlord, who, in riefceremony,
pronounced them husband and wife. A
buggy was in waiting and they left imme-
diately for their home,
In securing the licenses, however, her
maiden name, Willie Wick, was given,
and in her bill fer divorce she had not
asked that her name be changed, so she
married as Willie Wick when her right
name was Willie Marsh What effect
this will have upon the legality Of the
unien we eau not say for certain. We
presume, however, that if they live to-
gether it would be declared in common
law a marriage, but should any legal con-
test arise making it necessary 10 produee
records its Legality might be otIectuells
questioned.

The campaign in Iowa was open
ed by Governor BoIEs for the Dem
ocrats Saturday at Grundy Center.
Iowa will hardly roll up as large a
Democratic plurality this year as
Ohio will, but, doubtless, it will be
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
BoIEs' plurality in 1891, and it may
go to $4,000 if COFFIN, the Repub-
lican candidate, will agree to a joint
canvass of the State.

THERE is no doubt that Con-
gresham ENLoE represents the
sentiment of the people in all Sec

amend the rules Of the House SO
as to do away with so much of the

a member dies. 1t has been a GUS
tom heretofore on such occasions
for the members to make a day of

HERE are some interesting fig
ures from the New Orleans Times
Democrat: "It has finally been
figured out that the cotton crop of
the past year at 6,700,365 bales was
the shortest in four years. Coming
after the largest crop we have ever
grown, this has made itself all the
more felt. Last years crop was
9,035,379 bales. We have fallen
off 2,335,014 bales, or 26 per cent.
During 1891 and 1892 the Southern
farmers planted the largest acreage
of cotton. This was followed by a
season Of exceptional yield in near
ly all the Southern States. The re-
suit was the big crop and a break in
the prices, from which the South
has suffered greatly ever since
The Southern farmers seem to have
at last realized that they we're pro.
ducing too much cotton and they
are devoting their attention more
to other products and reducing the
acreage to cotton.

A STRIKE is on among the con-
yicts working in one entry Of Lone
Rock mine at Tracy City. About a
hundred men have surrounded the
powder magazine and say they will
hold it and threaten to blow it up
if necessary. They refuse to go to
work unless they get change in
the bill of fare. There are some
very determined men in the lot,
mostly long term white men, and
they will do most anything to make
their escape.
