coming to the conclusion that
marriage is going out of fashion
in this country.
With the exception of Japan,
the United States has more
divorces than any country on the
globe. Early marriages are
growing less frequent, and men
and women are postponing mar.
riage until they reach a ripe old
age. In 1871 people married at
the average age of twenty.six
years and two months; now, it is
twenty-seven years and two
months. At this rate people will
soon be middle-aged when they
marry.
In the cities, especially, mar.
rlage is on the decrease. The
divorce rate is rapidly increasing.
While only three divorces result
out of 1000 marriages in Eng,
land the United States furnishes
the disgracefulnumberofe eighty
eight, an increase of twenty
eight since 1886.
If this tendency continues to
increase, what will become of
the American home and the
American family?
Statistics show that the coun-
try districts make better show.
ing in the matter of marriage
than the cities. The country
people are old fashioned. They
are satisfied with a simple mode
of life, and they donot wait until
they get rich before they go to
housekeeping. Modern extrava-
gance and the demands of society
are responsible for the growing
unwillingness of our young PEG.
pie to marry, and the same
causes are the leading factors of
divorce. Even here, in the con-
sentative south, there are fewer
marriages and more divorces
than there were twenty years
ago.
Is there any remedy for this
state of affairs? There is only
lone-when our young people
think less of wealth and show,
and more of happy home life
on a modest scale-when they
yield more to their hearts than
to their heads-then we may ex-
pect a reform, but not before.
This is a serious problem and
should be seriously considered
by the molders of morals and
sentiment.

SOME GENERAL COMMENTS ON
BONUS BOOMING.
Fairmont and Buekhanrion.
Coming to the Front.
clarksbnrg on Safe Ground.

Some of our neighboring towns
among them being Fairmont and
Buckhannon. have recently been
making heroic efforts to create a
regular western boom and lift
themselves 10 the dignity Of
manufacturing cities by making
donations to companies thatsgrce
to locate factories within their
corporate limits These dona-
lions or bonuses usually consist
ofland, free fuel or cash dona-
tions from the Improvement or
development company
The bonis plan has not been
a great success SO far and we
would caution our neighbors To-
be careful. The Manufactstrer''s
Record, of Baltimore, very truly
says that the failure of many
industrial enterprises in the
South has been due chiefly to the
methods pursued by promoters
in securing the location of manu-
featuring establishments. The
greatest error in these methodsls
the granting of bonuses In vari-
Gus forms as inducements to
manufacturers. No other prac,
tice has been SO productive of
legal complications, misrepre-
sentation and dishonest dealings
of various kinds. The practice
of offering bonuses. which has
grown out of the competition be-
tween ambitious Southern towns
and cities, has attracted to the
South an unfortunately large
number of business cripples-
concerns either too weak or too
deficient in honesty to get along
without outside and unreasonable
aid"
The disaster that befell the
stockholders in the Buckhannon
chair factory furnishes an exam.
pie. But we hope that our West
Virginia towns will have few
such experiences and the TELE-
GRAM assures them of its cordial
support in their attempts to at
tract manufacturing concerns to
Central West Virginia. Clarks-
burg people are ridiculed by a
certain class of individuals be-
cause -.hey do not rush to the
frontand by allowing BATS and
big bonuses, attract a class OF
floating manufacturers.
This question presents two
definite propositions at the outset
first, a manufacturing estab-
lishment that cannot be located
except through the instrumen-
tally of a bonus is not desira-
BILE addition to any community !;
second, a locality that would not
be chosen by a manufacturing
concern apart from the induce
ment of a bonus is not an advan-
tageous location for a manufactur
er. Bonuses are requested for

IN SOLID SILVER.
Montana's Unique and Costly world's
Fair Exhibit.

Montana's Unique and Costly Worlds
Falr Exhibit.
What single thing on exhibition at
the Worlds Columbian exposition of
1893 will attract most attention and
cause most comment?
In all probability it will be a statue
in the Montana state building.
Why? There are several reasons In
the first place, it will be the largest
statue of its kind ever made, in that it
will be eight feet high, including the
pedestal, and of solid silver. Though
there are stories of ancient statues of
fabulous size and value, sculptors agree
that in all probability no solid silver
statue larger than four feet in height
was ever made
The statue will also attract attention
because of its great value. Theintrinsic
worth of the silver is 1885,, 5000, and the
sculptor is to receive so, 900 for his work.
Making reasonable estimate of the
cost of making the statue it represents
ut least $50, 900, aside from its value as
a work of art.
In brief, the statue is that of a wom-
an after the severely Greek style of
sculpture. She wears single garment
"hiSAA lcbSSS dElLlS, ucCh tLuu upper Dust
bare, and falls just below the knee A
girdlc about the waist loosely confines
the drapery. On her head is diadem.
In her left hand, which is raised above
her head, she holds the scales, in which
gold and silver balance each other, thus
symbolizing Montana's stand on the
silver question. In her right hand,
which falls at her side, is q drawn
sword. She stands on a globe two feet
in diameter, which is supposed to be
floating in the clouds.
But it is not because of its size, or be-
cause of its value in dollars and cents,
or even because of it's artistic merit,
that this statue in the Montana build
ing will attract such attention. 1t is
because of two other reasons.
1t is the figure of the perfect woman
from the physical standpoint. 1t is tho
figure of woman known all over the
English speaking world - Miss Ada
Rehan.
