COURTSHIP BY LETTER.
A Massachusetts Man Gets A West Vir
ginia Girl for A Wife.

Quite romantic wedding took
place in Charleston last Tuesday
morning at the residence of Rev. j.
C. Barr. Frank p Blanchard, OF
Massachusetts, an old bachelor OF
forty, advertised himself in one OF
the newspapers as candidate for
matrimony, and asked for lady cor
respondents His advertisement
was answered by Miss lola Bowen,
of Montgomery, w. Va They ex-
changed photographs and pen sketch
es of each other. Each was satisfied
with the description and agreed to
go into partnership for life. Mr..
Blanchard was invited to come on
here and seal the bargain. Every
thing had been arranged for the wed
ding and when he arrived at Mont
gomery there remained nothing to be
done but to get on the C. & o. train
with the brides parents and few
other friends and go to Charleston
to secure the license and have the
ceremony performed. Arriving at
Charleston Mr.. Blanchard secured
the marriage permit and with the
party went to the residence of Rev.
j. q. Barr and in less time than it
takes to tell it the two were made
twain. Mr.. and Mrs. Blanchard left
at once on the c. d o. vestibule train
tor Chicago to visit the Worlds Fair.

Uniontown News,
Yesterday evening when the sid
train pulled into theUniontown depot
Thomas Young and four children
got aboard. They are going to Phil
adelphia and from that point to their
home near Newcastle, England.
AS the train left the station, sne
of the children, hardly old enough
to speak, asked:
where's we dom, papa2'
The old man brushed tear from
his eye and answered:
Back to England again"
The train rolled on, but no one
spoke a word, the father evidently
thinking of his sad experiences dur
ing visit of eight months in the
land of the free.
Some time last December there
came to this county from England
two families named Moody and
Young. They stated to the steam
ship company officers that they we're
coming to America to visit relatives.
The officers allowed them to come
over and upon reaching this country
they located at Everson. where they
remained until the following Febru
airy. The relatives whom they were
visiting were not able to bear the
expense incurred by two families.
One of the visiting families vas rent

the case developed the fact that the
steamship company had violated the
immigration laws in bringing over
these families. Consequently the
company could be compelled to re.
turn them. Accordingly last Feb
ruary the Moody family was return

the immigration laws.

United States. The Kansas Crop of


Never in the history of Kansas has
that state had such bountiful crops as
this year. The farmers cannot get
enough hands to harvest the great
CROP and the Santa Fe Railroad has
made special rates from Kansas City
and other Missouri River towns, to
induce harvest hands to go into the
state. The wheat crop of the state
will be from sixty to sixty-fye million
bushels, and the quality is high.
The grass crop is made, and is a very
large one; the early potatoes, rye,
barley and oats crops are made, and
are all large. The weather has been
propitious for corn, and it is the
cleanest, best looking corn to be found
in the country today. Cheap rates
will be made from Chicago, st.

A SINGULAR MISTAKE.
A Comedy OF Errors involving a fair
Yirginian and Fort Dodge
Drug Clerk.

bTuS tleTk.
Twas on a sultry summer day,
| When every one she knew
Was asking her so pointedly,
is this hot enough for you?n
Her dress was gauze, her sun shad,
broad,
But it was awful hot,
And cooling sodas just the thing
To go straight to the spot.
Her friends soon spied drug store
With flaring soda sign,
And for the marble counter made
An undertaking line.
She was West Virginian,
OF real old ancient stock,
As well as a Presbyterian
As steadfast as a rock.
To her glass of soda
| Was thus a sinful thing,
From whose translucent. bubbling
depths
Woes numberless do spring.
Her frivolous and giddy friends
Seemed on destruction bent,
Sc listening to the tempter's wiles,
Into that drug store went.
They called for raspberry and cream,
Then asked her what she'd take,
She scorned to be thus led astray,
And gave her head shake.
tOh take some Vichy, Iron Springs,
Bethesda, or root beer,
Was urged as to our southern friend
The waiting clerk drew near.
Il don't drink soda sir, she said,
"Haye not you something else?"
And casually glanced over at
Some bottles en- the shelf.
Now this young woman meant all right
But then, she didn't know
That in those bottles on the shelf
Were brands OF sBest Old Crow"
Moreover, Prohibition is the law
In this corn growing state,
And men say when they want to
''cough, y
well take our soda straight"
Or"have you something else on handp
Upon pam SODA drinks
I'm not much stuck, and other things
Might suit me more methinks.
So when our friend with innocence
Enough to make one weep,
Asked such aquestion, it just knocked
That clerk into heap.
He leaned against the fountain
A 4 - ,t staI- ct.
As though his razzle-dazzled soul
Would toward the Zenith fly.
But courage finally returned,
Though with unsteady hand,
That clerk poured out jumping dose
OF whiskey's stoutest brand.
Our nnsophisticated friend
Drank half the fiery cup,
When-Oh, ye Gods and little fish,
The mischief then was up.
She coughed, she sneezed, and raised
breeze
That turned things inside out:
Then reaching for that luckless clerk,
Belabored him about.
He broke and fled across the plain,
Persued by vengeance grim,
And never even stopped to think
What would become Of him.
One day in Oklahoma's wilds
A skeleton was seen
To scud asross the sage brush plains
Like wild nightmare dream.
Twas all twas left OF our poor clerk
Whose error cost him dear,
His fate was like the Wandering jews,
He'll wander many year.
The teaching of this thrilling tale
Is-Look before you leap,
Take care of all your Ps, and Qs,
And don't get caught asleep.

Three New York lawyers decided
among themselves some time ago that
they would each take fifth of the
proceeds of big suit they had won
leaving two-ffths or only 40 per cent
of the claim for their client. This is
the same method adopted by lawyers
in certain other places. These gen.
tlemen "Jew" witnesses, try to get
publications for half the price and re-
duce the fees of all concerned except
in their own precious cases. Then
the schedule fee is charged every time,
also all commissions and everything
else.
In the New York case referrd to
above, the plaintiff refused to stand
the outrage so he brought suit to re-
cover the amount unjustly withheld
from him and the case went to the
supreme court. That court has just
made decision and the language Of
Judge Earl who delivered the opinion
is quite severe. Here is an extract
from it:
1.-THE three lawyers acted for them
selves in making it, and for no one
else. They did not assume to act for
their clients. They simply came to-
gether and agreed what share each
should have in the funds. They did
not determine or assume to determine
what was the fair value Of the services
rendered by each in the Santa Maria
actions. They simply determined
what share each wanted in the funds.
The three lawyers got together and di-
vided up the proceeds OF the litigation
to suit themselves, without consulting
their clients. Such transaction fur
nishes no evidence whatever of the
value Of their services, and should not
properly furnish any basis in this ac-
ton. Smyth and Wybert plaintiffs in
the Santa Maria actions] were not
bound by that arrangement. II five
or more freebooters should go forth
upon foray, and when they returned
three OF the number should divide up
the plumber among themselves, that
would furnish no evidence against the
Others Of the value Of their services or
the just amount OF their SHARE
The Honorable Court compares five
leading legal lights to freebooters.
This is strong language; but what will
the lawyers do about itY

''The Dumping Grounds Of Nations. -

A writer in the Westminster re-.
view calls the United States the dump
ing ground of the nations, "the conven-
lent corner where Europe dumped
paupers, criminals, Anarchists her
surplus and dangerous population Of
all kinds"
This is not the first time we have
heard that reproach from England,
nor is it likely to be the last. 1t is a
reproach that we must bear, for it is
true. This country is now, as it al
ways has been, the dumping ground
of nations.
There is a remarkably curious par
able in certain book that is some
times read in England, though it is
very little understood there. Accord
ing to this parable there was King
who made feast to which he invited
all the mobiles Of the kingdom. They
would not come, and he sent out and
gathered together at his table the very
off-scouring OF the earth, swearing at
the same time that not one of the
powerful and proud should taste his
supper.
That is a singular story and it is
thought by some that it means a good
deal.
Something like that has happened
in America. This country has had
dumped into it the very offscouring of
of the Old World-the manned, the
blind, the halt, who could not
maintain themselves in the struggle
whose force was law and where Provi-
dence was supposed to be on the side
OF the heavier cannon.
Strange things are recorded in his
tory, but nothing stranger than this,
that the greatest nation of the world
should be built up by the defendants
of the "refuse Of Europe
England has reason to remember
that this country has always been
dumping ground for it's refuse. 1t
drove out the Puritans under the
Stuarts. 1t drove out the Cavaliers
under Cromwell. Under the house of
Hanovers it drove out thousands of
Scotch and North Englishmen for
treason in clinging to the Stuarts.
1t sold into America by the hundreds
those that had been impoverished by
the class legislation Of England. All
whom its law thrust into the pauper
class or the dangerous class" it
dumped on the Colonies, where they
REINFORCED people who had been
dumped from Germany, France and
nearly all European countries. And
all these, with their descendants show
ing what the offscouring OF the coun-
try could do when removed from Cd
preston. And they showed it at
England's costs by making it the only
country in the world to which Eng
land feels obliged to cringe.
The people of America who can
boast of the longest descent, whose an
cestors have done most for America
ana for the liberties OF the world, will
never blush when it is thrown in their
teeth that they are the descendants Of
the refuse Of Europe. They know it
and are proud Of It..

If we read Alright the signs of the
times, this country is about ready TO
resume business in the customary
volume and with its usual energy.
Trade conditions are mending. We
have seen the worst of the financial
stringency. Money is getting to be
easier and cheaper. In industries
where there has been stagnation,
life stirs again. There is going to
be work for hands that have been
idle. There will be men and capital
for old enterprises and new ones.
The recovery may be prompt or
neutrality-suspicious. differ as to that.
On the whole, conditions seem to us
to favor a somewhat more speedy
return to business activity and pros
perity than has been looked for in
any quarter up to very recent date
The one great obstacle, the chief
element of doubt, is the dawdliug of
the Senate over the Wilson repeal
bill. That measure went to the sen.
ators with two thirds majority of
the House of Representatives, repre-
senting in the aggregate population
of their districts more than forty
millions of people The great ma
jority for the bill was in effect COM
mand to the senators that they
should pass the bill without delay.
Tue Senate of the United States,
however, has always refused to be
commanded by anybody. even by the
people. 1t has sometimes obeyed
against it's will, but grudgingly, and
without admitting the fact. In re-
spect to matters of politics, even in
respect to matters of principle, it has
usually been possible to indulge the
Senate's liking for dignity and de-
liberation. Its present behavior can
be tolerated only at great material
loss.
The repeal of the silyer-purchase
act Is not party measure, but we
may be permitted to point out that
any Democrat in the Senate who
obstructs or delays the passage Of
the Wilson bill is guilty of the plain
est disloyalty to his party. The bill
passed the House as a Democratic
measure, and Democratic votes gave
it majority sufficient for passage,
even had the Republicans abstained
from voting. 1t is an administration
measure, and it is supported by the
leaders of the Democratic party.
The Republican Populist silver sen
ators are responsible to no one for
their behavior. Senators who still
call themselves Democrats NAV be
held to certain accountability. We
suppose the country must put up
with some further speech making
from the silver side of the Senate.
though it is mortally weary of the
old and empty arguments. But if
there is any Democratic senator who
is still undelivered of his speech on
that side, he will seize the first op
to make it, and will make
it short if he takes loyal interest in
the welfare of the Democratic party.
