THE TITAN OF CHAsMs.
A Mile Deep, ID Miles Wide, 217 Miles
Long, and Painted Like a Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed frem Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page engravings from especial
photographs, and furnishing all need
full information, may be obtained free
upon application to Jno. j. Byrne,

After Leaving College.

About 25, 900 graduates are leaving
the colleges and universities of the
country this summer.
In this vast army of educated young
persons there are thousands whose
gifts and attachments fit them for
high and useful positions in life,
And yet they may fail to achieve sue
cess simply because they may rely too
much upon their diplomas
The young man leaving college
should get in touch with the practical
side of life. His general culture and
mental discipline are very good things
to have but, as The New York Com
mercial Advertiser suggests, he should
lose no time in learning to do some one
useful thing. well, and learn to do it
better than most of his competitors.
We are rushing ahead and develop
ing the greatest country on the globe.
People are not lounging in the shade
discussing the matters taught in col
lege textbooks. They are looking out
for their own interests, hunting mon
ey-making opportunities, and worry
ing themselves over the problem of
how to accomplish great results at a
small expenditure of time, money and
labor. The young man who goes to
these people for employment will not
be asked: ''What do you know" They
will ask: "What can you do?n
That is the point. Learn to do one
useful thing so well that you will be
in demand. Your education is all
right, but you must not expect it to
put money in your pocket without the
right sort Of effort. The college man
who gets this idea into his head will
win. Without it he will be a man of
culture fitted for professorship, per-
haps, but he will be utterly helpless in
the rough and tumble struggle for ex-
istence.
Even with a diploma young man
must begin on the bottom round of
the ladder. After leaving college he
must study the every day affairs of
life and master some speciality in bus
mess, in the professions, in science,
art or some occupation requiring man.
ual labor. Then he will be equipped
for the work of his life.

A Tragedy in Parkersburg.

In house of questionable reputa-
ton in Parkersburg last week Ell
mer Chaddock fatally shot VIM. Po-
Ian, friend, who was seated on a
lounge talking to one of the inmates.
Chaddock stepped toward them and
when only about foot distant made
an angry remark, which was replied
to in a joking way by Polan. Before
any one of those present had OWNED
his purpose Chaddock, without say
ing another word, fired a revolver
from his side coat pocket, the ball
striking Polan in the breast and pen
etrating clear through the body. Po-
Ian ran to the street, where he fell in
the arms of policeman. He was
removed to his hotel, where he died
at A o'clock that morning. Chaddock
walked out of the house and disap-
peared, but was captured few days
afterward while hiding in the hotel
in which his victim died.

The Oil Fields.

There are about It's new wells
going down at present in the Sisters
vile field, and the outlook is reported
as good all over this territory.
The largest recent strike is an 500
barrel well by Watson & Bellman, on
the James Early farm. 1t is always
in advance of development on the east
side of the field. Ludwig & Mooney
have 500 barrel well on the Dunfee
farm.
A test well is to be put down on
Fishing Creek, in Wetzel, where j.
w. Shay has 1000 acres under lease.
This well will be on the Edward Win
ming farm, several miles from New
Martinsville.
Up in Doddridge county the South
Penn Oil Company is having trouble
with the farmers whose lands they
have leased. The law requires the
lessees and all others to pay up all the
rent due before they can get rid of the
oil lease and so the farmers up there
who have had their farms leased and
held a year or few months are sueing
the company for their rentals and they
will recover every cent Of it. If a
company leases land for hundred dol.
lars month or yeaI to be paid month
ly or annually, and the land is held
under such lease for the time, at the
end of the month or year the lessees
must pay for the time they have the
land. There are hundeds of dollars
due the farmers under this law If they
would only demand 1t. About ter
new wells have been located in bod.
drige and leases are in demand.

The Point or View.

The Pittsburg Post says: Sex
President Harrison in a letter 10 the
New York Republican Club commits
crates the country on the financial
distress he intimates that attends
Democratic rule, with the resulting
implication that if he had been re-
elected matters would have been all
right
The best way to judge of that is to
take the condition of the country
when Mr. Harrison succeeded to
power after four years of Cleveland,
and when Mr.. Cleveland succeeded
after four years Of Harrison.
When Mr.. Cleveland gave way to
Harrison in 1889 there was surplus
in the treasury of $S5,000,000. The
free gold above the reserve was $685.
100000. The annual excess of rev.
enues over expenditures was $780,
100000. The silver purchased was
coined and not stored away like use
full metal. The country was pros
porous. Gold was coming our way
the net gain in four years being
54,772,000. The public debt was
being paid and the legal require
ments of the sinking fund were lived
up to.
That was the point of view at the
close of four years of Cleveland.
How is it now after four years of
Harrison? The surplus has disap-
peared. The free gold is gone. We
have sent during that four years
1922, 100000 gold to Europe, and
haye in it's place 1924, 100000 worth
of silver bullion of no use to anyone.
The expenditures of the government
exceed its receipts, although the lat
ter have been increased The Sher
man law threatens credit and unset
ties business. The payments on &C
count of the public debt have been
suspended. The country is ground
down by trusts and combinations.
Such are the fruits of four years
of Harrison, Mckinley and Reed,
mainly embodied in the acts Of the
billion congress and the extrava
ganee of the late administration. 1t
is faith IN President Cleveland that
saves the country from panic"

A Touching Incident.

On last Thursday evening two la
dies stopped at the Carter House from
Pennsylvania. One of them was an
elderly person; the other her niece, of
middle age. The object of their visit
to Charles Town was that of wifely
remembrance and love. The elder
lady nearly fifty years ago, with her
young husband came to this vicinity,
he to act as manager of the old Brooks
furnace, across the Shenandoah river,
near Shanondale Springs. After a
residence of nine months he died of
typhoid fever, in the 9th year Of his
age. Being methodist his dying re-
quest was that he should be buried in
the methodist burying groud at Char
les Town-his body not to be removed
to his native State. Forty-eight years
ago this coming October his body was
inferred. Stones were placed at the
head and foot of the grave, which to-
day are in remarkable good state of
preservation seeming to defy the cor
roding effects of time-the lettering
as legible ar when first made.
The visit of this lady after the
lapse of so many years to the grave of
her first love was exceedingly touch
ing. 1t was of tender and long-lived
affection, to replace the stones if nee
essary and to restore the grave which
was much sunken, to its first and
proper state, which was done by the
sexton, Mr. Dunlap. She brought
some choice flowers to be, and which
were, planted on the grave.
The name of the deceased husband
was Davis. There is but one man
living in this community at this day
who was then connected with the fur
mace, Mr.. John Viands, whom she
was very anxious to see. DR.. G.. Y.
Mason, then young man, was the
attending physician. She called to
see the Doctor, and was pleased to
find him SO active, and looking SC
young that she recognized him on
sight.
Having performed this loving visit
and purpose, she left for home.

The Millionaire and the Beggars.

When the late Senator Stanford
first went to Washington he would
leave the house in the morning with
pocket full of $40 gold pieces. These
he dispensed here and there. He
learned later that those who begged
of him would have been content with
$40 bills. He used these for while
and then fell to fives 1t was his
custom Of late to load himself up
with 30 or 40 bills OF the SO demon
ination and he used to chuckle over
his fancied cuteness in getting rid of
his worries so cheaply But whether
he carried $40 gold pieces, $40 bills,
So bills or So bills, he always came
home without cent.

AN EXTRA SESSION.
Congress to Meet August Seventh.

Following is the proclamation is
sued by President Cleveland and
given to the public July LIST:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 30, '93.l
WHEREAS, The distrust and appre-
hension concerning the financial sit
uation which pervade all business
circles have already caused great
loss and damage to our people, and
threaten to cripple our merchants,
stop the wheels of manufacture,
bring distress and privation to our
farmers and withhold from our work
ingmen the wage of labor, and
WHEREAS, The present perilous
condition is largely the result of a
financial policy which the executive
branch of the government finds en-
bodied in unwise laws which must
be executed until repealed by Con-
gress.
Now, therefore, /. Grover Cleve-
land, President of the United States,
in performance of a constitutional
duty, do by this proclamation, de-
clare that an extraordinary occasion
requires the converting of both houses
of Congress of the United States at
the capitol in the city of Washing
ton on the 7th day of August, at II
o'clock noon, to the end that the
people may be relieved through leg
islation from present and impending
danger and distress.
All those entitled to act as mem
bers of the Fifty-third Congress are
required to take notice of this proc
lamation and attend at the time and
place above stated.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the United States at the city of
Washington, on the 30th day of June,
in the year of our Lord, one thou
sand eight hundred and ninety three,
and of the independence of the Uni
ted States, the one hundred and sew

Speaker Crisp says; "We enjoy
much freedom to which the people
of other lands are strangers, but we
do not enjoy all that the government
should allow us. If there are thou
sands Of unemployed workmen in
our land; if the agricultural inter
ests anguish; if trade and commerce
are restricted; if there is lack of con-
fidence in financial circles, so far as
human laws are responsible you can
charge it to the republican party.
There are laws ON our statute books
to-day which are restriction to
trade. They are republican laws.
There are laws which have destroy
ed the peoples confidence and have
upset the finances. They are repub-
lican laws. The democracy's rep
resentatives in congress must unani-
mously vote against the passage of
those laws. To-day a great Demo
crat is our Chief Executive. Bust
ness distresses and uncertainty have
prompted that great democrat to call
together Congress. And l confident
ly hope, / honestly believe, so far as
the effects Of its legislation is con
cerned, that congress will pass such
laws as will restore popular conf
dence and enlarge the opportunities
for the extension of trade and com
merce.
