A plea for the old Languages.

come fashionable with those who aim to
get ONLY s certain grade of education to
Consider the original classic languages as
7old-fashioned learning, tedious, difficult
and without practical use tor the pur-
poser of life. They call Greek and Latin
the ssdead languages" and consider them
dead for all practical purposes, without
knowing that they are using them, con-
stantly, Just as child uses the common
English nursery language without know
ing whore it comes from. Seventy
per cent of our spoken and written Eng
fish to-day is Latin accommodation and
incorporation. In the science and art de-
partments-C Chemistry, Medicine, Hota-
nv, Geology, Natural Philosophy, Dy-
namics, and all applied science. e.y the
art Departments calling into use air, heat,
light, electricity, wood, iron, coal, oil,
everything, Greek is coming into use SO
rapidly as to make very large per cent
of actual English speech in the very de-
partments Of practical knowledge whlch
these practical people are aiming to ac-
urlire. They are constantly learning TO
pronounce words without knowing where
they came from. Are the languages dead
that are running through our speech,
that are blooming into leaf and hower on
the trunk of our old Anglo-Saxon? that
are enriching the vocabulary of Science,
that are creeping into our Dictionaries so
steadily as to make it necessary soon to
modify old Webster? and that are in the
van Of the great improvements Of our
day In art and discovery Has language
ever died yet? They are the most en-
during monuments Of the race. Tho 1n-

the same value as those OF other Demo-
cratic congressman. General Bissell was
not prepared to give direct rep ply to that
question. It is said by Mr.; Latlmer that
he eyaded the subject and eft an impress
sion that was not favorable. They a.so
asked the Postmaster General to inform
them who was responsible for the pro-
soription placed upon them.
He is said to have replied that one of
the clerks in the department, with view
to ascertaining how many Third Party
men there are in the next Congress,
made up list in which the four South
Caroiinians are included. This explana-
ton is not satisfactory to them and they
assert that other influence was eXerted to
place them in their present embarrass-
ing situation.
After visiting the postofflce department.
they went to the National Hotel and held
consultation with Senator lrby IN his
bed room. Mr. Shell was not present,
for, according to Senator 1rby, Mr.. She'll
misunderstood the Invitation that was
extended him to participate in the con-
ference, The Reforpers are greatly in
censed at the turn of South Carolina
affairs at this end OF the line. and as they
did not accomplish anything by remain
ing here it is probable that they will soon
turn their step holaeward to await devel-
opments.
Representative Strait and his associates
are sore at the treatment they have re-
ceived and they are determined to resent
the indignity to the bitter end: Senator
Irby is not dismsyed, although he real
ICES that the present outlook is not as
encouraging as it might be. He says be

shall have fair distribution of the fruits

Yesterday was not quite as hot as
Saturday, II the thermometer IS uusu'
ful person, but TO siZzled humanity
there was no appreciable difference
over Saturday.
About every device for reducing the
temperature Of the human frame was
resorted TO by those compelled 10 re-
main at home, while everyone VINO
could do so, sought bit OF shade out
of doors. IL was too hot TO go out TO
any of the suburban resorts, ana the
attendance during the day was very
light, but good many peopie
took advantage of the evening TO IN
dulge In street car rides or take trip
out the Wheeling and Elm Grove ROAD
By the way, no better way OF recupeT-
ating after a hot day can be devised
than to take the o'clock motor on the
Elm Grove road for ride to the GroVe
and back, or TO make round Trip on
the Martin Ferry end Of the electric
road. Either ride Is very enJoyaole
one, and the cost is not worth taking
about, even when the whole family
makes the trip. A naphtha yacht rio %
up the river is also one OF the goou
things of life, these hot evenings.
1t made noble effort to get up an
other storm, last night, shortly after
ten o'clock, but only few drops OF rain
were squeezed out. A good breeze
sprang up, however, and noticeaoly
lowered the temperature. 1t is not
likely that the temperature to-day VIII
be materially different from what 1t has
been the past week.

ant Valley.
Mr.. Bernie Baer complained at po-
lice headquarters yesterday that his
house at Pleasant Valley, opposite Sell
bert's, was entered by burglar Satur-
day night, and a gold watch, valued at
5000, stolen. An investigation OF the
premises showed footprints on the
porch, and evidences that Jimmy"
had been used to pry open window,
through which an entrance was effect
ed. When Mr.. Baer came down stairs
Yesterday morning, he found his coat
and vest in the hallway, and upon In
vestigation found that the watch was
missing. Nothing else was taken. The
burglar was evidently in his bare feet.
The house OF Mr.. John Helstern, just
across the road, was also entered, and
footprints were found by the front door
step, Mr.. Helstern came down stairs
Yesterday morning, and found the front
door open. His coat and vest hung
across the railing Of the stairway, but
nothing was missing. The thief was
evidently frightened and dropped his
plumber.
There is no clue TO the identity OF the
thief, butt was some one who was IA
miliar with both houses.

Pink of Condi ion.
At sunrise tomorrow at a point not
to be made public, but which will be
down the river, Mike Howley and Jack
Bolen will battle for a purse OF $500.
The principals and spectators will go
down on packet, which will leave the
landing tonight at 1920 o'clock. How
lev will be seconded by John A. Sulli-
van, and Frank Wango will act in a
similar capacity for Bolen. The con-
test will be witnessed by a large crowd
of lovers Of the manly art.
Bolens training quarters are on the
Island, where he daily undergoes
routine of exercises consisting OF run
ming, walking. bathing, sparring punch
ing the bag, etc. Under his severe
training, his flesh has become hard and
his muscles firm. He states that he
never felt better in his life, and II he
does not win, it will not be because he
is not in condition. Howley is also in
good form. His ankle no longer troubles
him. and he is confident of winning the
contest. Both men will weigh in before
leaving on the boat for the scene OF the
battle.

Virginia Fields.
The production of the Listersville
field remains at about IL, 500 barrels.
One hundred and three teams loaded
with supplies for the Mcclellan held
all left Salem at once on Monday. Who
said the Doddridge oil field had played
out ?-WeSt Union Record.
Oil matters in this vicinity still re-
main very quiet. While but few leases
are being surrendered, but little devel-
opment is being done. 1t looks now as
though some of the large companies
were willing to hold the bulk OF the
land in the county at one dollar per year
rental rather than operate at this time.
81. MGrys oracle.
The Standard Oil Company will put
an immense engine In their pumping
station at Morgantown in few days.
The pumping capacity at present Is
* 600 barrels In twenty-four hours.
The oil is pumped over this line from
Mcdonald, Pa, and the Mt. Morris,
Pa. field to Philadelphia. This action
on the part Of the company shows that
1t has faith in an increased output oil
the est Virginia oil field.
Oil is flowing from an abandoned we'll
in Barbour county, and now IL Is be-
lieyed that the well was corked for OBJ
yious reasons. Like the MOltntinter
we want no corking here nor monkey
ing with the patience or interests OF
the people and all will be well. Let
there be a fair square deal all around
and everybody will be happy. II there
is oil in Wetzel county we want to
know it.-Wetzel Democrat.
Captain James Moore, who has drilled
all over the West Virginia field, came
ND from Richie county few days ago.
! He had been to the Mole Hill well, and
declares the oil was the most peculiar
he ever found. 1t was struck In the
limestone above the Big Iniun, and
flied up several hundred feet. The oil
was black as ink, but was lighter in
weight than any that had been struck
heretofore in West Virginia. When
rubbed between the fingers no grease
could be detected, but instead there
was a feeling OF grittiness, which has
never been found in any other oil.
There has never been discovered any
other oil which in the least resembles IT.,
and the well is a mystery TO all OF the
old-timers who have visited it-PtttS-
