Speaking of embarrassment in the
matter Of car fares when male friend
going the same way as yourself is en-
countered Ell route to bridge or ferry, a
woman says: II really wish there was
an inviolate rule, as there is among Eng
lishmen. l remember soon after my ar
rival in England happening to meet as
| was boarding an omnibus an English
friend, to whose house | was bound at
the moment by appointment with his
wife. He was reserved and distant
man, though scrupuloGsly courteous,
and wondered whether l ought or
ought not offer to pay my fare through
the three changes of transportation we
must make to reach our destination.
''All doubc, however, was quickly re-
moved by the cause himself, who leaned
oveL after finding his own coin, with
the inquiry, Got your tuppence ready?
l found over there that even when a
man was taking you about by invitation
car fares. ETC., were to be individually
looked after. wish the matter We're SO
absolutely fixed here"
1t would seem as if the question is
readily settled in a doubtful case by
leaving it to the man. Part of the mat
ter is disposed of absolutely. No man
in America would think of asking to es-
cort woman on trip about the city
without assuring all its expenses. In
the matter Of chance encounter there
can be no harm in making the effort to
pay ones fare, which, if the man pre-
fers to do. may be permitted without
protest.-Her Point of View in New
York Times.

Parents with all the advan-
tages of culture, family influence
and money, often have trouble
enough with their children how
much more so with parents who
have inherited tendencies, pow
erty and evil surroundings to
contend with. Those critics
who have no children and no
domestic ties to bother them,
can talk and that is all. Their
"rules" don't always work we'll.
Some of the best and most con-
scientious parents have the worst
children, and some of the worst
and most careless parents have
the best children. In none of
the works of God is greater Wis
dom shown than in the associa-
ton of the sexes. But for this
divine and self-executing law
the unconcerned critic would
have to root for a living or die.
1t is well that young people
think only of love and happiness
in the spring-time of life. In the
hour of their greatest joy their
life-troubles begin.

The Heart of England,

In the midst of the old city of London,
where the heart of human life beats
fastest, stands the church of st. Swith-
ms, an old edifice rebuilt by Wren upon
its ancient foundations, but recently re-
duced by modern taste to most COM
monplace air of comfort and newness.
If the curious traveller will step out of
the passing throng and edge his way
through the hucksters of flowers and
stale fruit squatted around the church,
he will find imbedded in the blush slabs
of its foundation large oblong stone as
gray as the beard Of Time himself.
This is London stone, erected by the
Romans half century before the birth
Of the Saviour as the central milestone
or point of their positions in Britain.
From it all roads, divisions of property
and distances throughout the province
were measured.
1t has been recognized as the heart of
England, from which all its articles
flowed, "by every historian, dramatist
or antiquary known to English litera-
ture."
A feeling has always existed among
Englishmen about this stone which was
not altogether superstition, that, as all
distances were reckoned from it, so it
was in certain way the base of the
stability of England.-Youth's Compan-
ion

Gallery Audiences.

Gallery audiences" said a veteran
attache Of one of Philadelphia's theaters
recently. "are made up of some of the
most intelligent playgoers in the city.
Young men of moderate incomes pre-
vail, but often wealthy youths go among
the gods, as their elevated station af=
fords in many respects the most adyan-
tageous place from which to view the
stage. The receipts from the gallery,
moreover. are q very important item, and
the people in it do good work in leading
the applause. Edwin Booth always be-
gins an after the play speech by gazing
up at the gallery in recognition of its en-
thusiasm in greeting him.
Lawrence Barrett was always popu-
Jar with the gods in Philadelphia, and he
used to say their applause was as re-
freshing drink to him. For the most
part the gallery audiences were well be-
haved, critical and intelligent. and for
myself l should feel sorry to see them
relegated, in this city anyhow, TO the
pit as the English call the parquet."-

When Democrats or Republ

When Democrats or Republi-
cans make a political god out of
a man to keep him and their par
ty in power, at the expense of
the corruption of every priceless
virtue of honesty, law or morali-
ty, it would be a blessing to the
State and to the country for
Providence to interpose the
staying hand of Death. In other
countries and ages there was
always an avenging Nemesis for
such crimes. Now the people
havethe power in their own hands
but base partisanism blinds them
to the good of themselves, their
children, their God and their
country.

1t hardly seems possible that
Democracy would go so far as to
telegraph R. R. Superintendent
to delay passenger trains SO that
Democratic crews could vote in
a corporation election in which
there sis no politics." Yet such
seems to have been the fact.
Desperate, principleless Democ-
racy. All for one-man power.
People will not be surprised to
see a Democratic contest now,
though when the Republicans ap-
pealed for a contest under the
law the political powers that be
decreed that there was no such
law. They were the law. The
people will stand anything, and
pay any price at the expense Of
every virtue, to maintain polite
al rule in their home and mora
affairs.

Judge Faulkner rendered an
important decision at this term
of the court on the removal to
the circuit court of a case tried
by a jury in Justices court.
The Judge holds that the case
may be removed by writ of Ger
tiori, and the petition for the
writ should be presented within
ten days from the date of judg-
ment on the verdict, by analogy
to the time allowed for an appeal,
unless good cause be shown for
not applying within said time,
and then the application can be
made within ninety days. If the
petition show proper grounds,
the court will allow the writ,
and when the case is removnd
to the circuit court, the Judge
will review the whole case as
presented by the petition, and if
no error has been made in the
lower court, the judgment will
be affirmed; and if mistake, err
ror or injustice has been done to
either party in the Justices court,
the verdict of the jury and judg-
ment of the justice thereon will
be set aside, and the circuit
court will retain the case for trial
as if originally brought in that
court. Under the recent decis-
ion of the supreme court in the
case of Bee VS.. Seaman, report in
36 w. Va. 381, the court held
the writ in such case to be ana
lagous to an appeal in a case
heard by the justice without a
jury. Query; Does this case al
low the writ as of right as of
case of appeal ? This opinion of
Judge Faulkner is very valuable
to the profession in this circuit,
and is regarded as settling a
question which has long been UNI
settled and yexed.-Free Press. |

The Democrats are in power

The Democrats are in power
since March 4th. The govern
ment is begging the world for
money, and panic reigns in fl
nancial circles. Capital and in
vestments are not as vigorous and
enterprising as they were a year
ago. Trade is keeping close to
shore. Reciprocity and Protec-
ton are being discountenanced
by the Democratic statesmen, and
the Nation is losing prestige in
foreign countries. There is much
talk and promise and expecta-
ton. There is also much doubt,
apprehension and hesitation.
The American citizen,
the American flag and American
rights have fallen 80 per cent
in Importance among foreign
powers. This is the beginning.
The end will witness industrial
stagnation. Tinkering with the
tariff will cause anxiety in this
country and hope in Europe, and
reduction of the protective tar
iff will bring in a rush of foreign
manufactures that is bound to
result in less work and lower
wages for the American manu-
facturer and labOrer. Wool will
be free. Iron ore and tin will be
free. The duty on coal and lum-
Der will be half reduced or Who'll
ly abolished, and the sugar
bounty will be a clean sweep.
The people will look in vain for
retrenchment and reform, and a
general political panic in 1896
will restore hope and prosperity.
West Virginia will be burden
ed by a heavy apportionment of
old Virginia debt, and by more
arbitrary political laws and cleo
pioneering schemes. An odious
income tax will be levied against
home prosperity and foreign sue
cess will have free imports and
the advantages of pauper labor
over home competition. But when
the people will they will, even
if they have to endure every po-
litical i'll.

that, whether the picture was genuine

most amazing of these objects is the

that the critics who had condemned the
