a Quiet Hour.

You must find somewhere within your
domicile a nook that can be set apart for
go minutes rest. This is imperative if
you would preserve your youth and good
looks. have coy corner where ] can,
if wish, take surreptitious snooze, en-
Joy quiet think or a little gossip with
my latest feminine adorer. This alcove
is modestly fitted up. A pair of Jap por-
there's curtain my corner from the rest Of
the room. My couch was never in its
best days anything more elegant than a
So cot, but thanks to thin hair mattress
and an adorable old blue quilt that I
picked up in my wanderings it is now
quite an elegant lounging couch.
Lots Of downy cushions of kentucky
jeans" the delicious blues brought out
by struggling bouquets of white floss
thread, add to its charm. My bit Of man
tel drapery is an antique piece of handi-
work in satin and silks that I.found one
rainy day while rummaging the chests
in an old garnet way down in Virginia.
On this stand my joss sticks, which on
company days smolder in such aromatic
fashion, and a quaint jar which reminds
me every time lsok at it Of an odd little
fishing hamlet on the Massachusetts
coast. keep on hand the latest mag
azines, some articles being my slumber
wooers. They are SO prosy that they act
as narcotic.
Opposite my COUCH is deep seated
rocker upholstered in denims. always
manage to find few pennies for my ia
vorite pinks and tangle of smilax.
These are SO effective when placed with

tinted glass overhead gives me when the
sun is gracious enough to smile on my
corner some delightful streaks Of tinted
sunlight, completing, to my way Of
thinking, the prettiest tone picture I'M

They Defeated Columbia and Nearly

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 20.--This
afternoon, in the first Of the series of
college races on the Thames this year,
the Cornell freshmen won over the Co.
lumbia freshmen over two mile course.
Cornell won by over ten lengths in TO- m.
SIS. Columbia's time was 10 m. 42s. That
the two mile college record was not
broken was indisputably due to the stiff
southerly breeze that came up just as the
crews passed the mile and half post.

game was one of the most peculiar ex-
hibitions seen on the home grounds. AL
though Brockton had good lead, Port
land came in ahead at the finish. There
was some terrific batting on both sides,
four pitchers being pounded all over the
lot. Brockton played miserably in the
field, while the visitors made only two
errors. Fitzmaurice and Cyclone Ryan
did the best work for the home team,
while for Portland, Burke, Clymer and
Rogers excelled. There was another
exhibition of poor umpiring, Scannell
being unable to distinguish balls or
strikes. Brockton protested the game
on account of his decisions, some Of
which were very bad. Attendance 400.

WEST VIRGINIA'S DEBT.
An Effort to Rendjust n Complicated
Obligation.

Gen. John Gill and Mr.. John A. Ham
bleton. associated with a number Of gentle
men, have undertaken to put the West Vir-
ginia debt on a sound basis. This debt has
long occupied large part of public atten-
ton and been subject of frequent criticism
The Mercantile Trust and Deposit Com
pany, of which Gen. Gill is president, is act
ing the same part in this matter that the
Central Trust Company Of New York did
with the Virginia bonds: but with this diff
ference. that the Mercantile Trust and De-
post Company Of Baltimore substitutes an
incorporated company in the place of the
usual bondholders' committee, and in this
instance the power of attorney under which
the bonds will be deposited. is printed on
the back of each trust certificate that will
be issued.
This is considered an improvement on the
old method for 1t si.np,ines matters very
much, and is the custom in England.
In view of the fact that the West Vir-
ginia debt is the only remaining unsettled
ante-war debt. and also OF the recent COM
promise between Virginia and her creditors
it is presumed that the present undertake
ing will be as successful and receive the
same hearty and cordial cooperation that
was given to the Oicott Committee when
they undertook the Virginia debt.
Charles Francis Adams OF Boston, VIM.
Pinkney Whyte of Baltimore ana Holmes
Conrad of Winchester, Va, have been IN
vited to act and have consented to serve,
as an advisory board in the adJus tment of
the debt. The matter has become very
complicated. and will require careful in
vestlgation to ascertain the amount credi-
tors ought, under the circumstances, be
willing to accept in settlement Of the GER
tificates issued by Virginia to represent the
one-third of the common debt which she
set aside to await settlement with West
Virginia
The history of the debt is old and long
when told in detail 1t began in lSUO. and
up to 1861 Virginia had expended upwards
of $io,OO0,U0 to construct roads, bridges and
other internal improvements. In lS6l the
state had outstanding $32,0JO,OOO of bonds.
and nearly half of this money was borrow
ed to develop what is now West Virginia.
Upon the principle of law that when
state is divided its debts shall be appor-
toned to their relative property, popula-
ton and territory, the one-third of the
old debt thus fixed on West Virginia would
amount to about $l050O,OOO, with interest
since 1861: but the ordinance which divided
the state provided that the new state should
take upon itself the first proportion of the
public debt, to be ascertained by charging
TO It all state expenditures within it's lin
its, and the just proportion of the ordinary
expenses Of the state government SINCE and
mart of the debt was contracted.

But she Tilted her American lover, neverthe-
less, and married the famous playw-le hit.
from whom, as Is well known, che was sub
sequently divorced.
This disappointment in love affected him
deeply, and he gladly welcomed the tppor-
tunity for a change of scene afforded him
by even so sad an event as the death of his
uncle at Parkersburg, who left him his
paper. the Gazette. as a legacy. Gordon re-
turned to the scene of mis- carly journalistic
life and devoted himself industriously to
the management Of his newly acquired pub
Hcation.
Another magnet soon attracted, the heart
of the young man in the person Of a charm
ing lady Of Clarksburg, in the same part
of the Chen still undivided) state Of vir-
ginia. Loves true course did run smooth
this time and Gordon moved his newspaper
to this now, for him, so important place,
married his lady love and seen ID TO have
reached the goal of his ambition, when the
long-gathering war clouds finally burst over
his unhappy native land.
A Confederate Captain.
Like all of his family, the warm -b,coded
southerner cast his lot with his dearly be-
loved Virginia. and raising a company Of
cavalry among his friends in Clark sburg
and vicinity, Joined Stoncwan Jackson's
army with 1t. His gallant conduct earned
high praise from this famous general and
the brilliant military prospect which opened
before the young confederate captain would
have been probably fully realized, had not
his daring got the better Of his Judgment.
with most disastrous results.
Capture and imprisonment.
Prompted by yearning to see his littl.
family at Clarksburg, Capt. Gordon VEN
tured to visit his home at that place during
the early part of the summer Of 1863 Since
he had left his family behind. the state of
West Virginia had been created and Clarks-
burg was within the Union lines. Gordon
was soon arrested on a charge of being en-
gagged in recruiting for the enemy within
the federal lines. and taken to Fort Nc
Henry, near Baltimore. The hardships of
the confinement there soon ripened within
MIN and seven or eight others a plan for
escape. but favorable opportunity never
presented itself to carry the well-laid
scheme into execution before the prisoners
were sent away to Fort Delaware
Capt. Gordon bore his fate with rare forti-
tude, even good humoredy, as may be seen
from an amusing Notice to Guests" writ
ten by him upon one of the doors of the
easement, and which was given a place in
a book subsequently written by a fellow
prisoner. Rev. Isaac w. X. Handy at that
time pastor Of the First Presbyterian
Church at Portsmouth, Va. Rev. Handy
was accused OF reasonable utterances and
languished in confinement for many months.
His book, written in 1874. is entitled United

south Carolina Whisky Case.

Justice Field yesterday the Supreme Court
refused to take up the South Carolina
whisky case. This is an application for
habeas corpus in behalf of Constable Swan
of Charleston, s. c., who seized barrel of
whisky in Charleston under the state dis
pensary law The whisky was still in pos
session of the railroad, which being in pos
session of q receiver. was under the protec-
ton of the courts. Judge Simonton held
Swan liable for contempt in making the
seizure The states contention is that the
seizure was a justifiable exercise Of police
powers.
