Rural West Virginia.

West Virginia, with less than 500, 900
Inhabitants, has but three cities and is
essentially a rural and half settled re-
gion. In spite of her enormous wealth
in timber and mines also, many of her
counties number only a handful of peo-
pie. No West Virginia county has
$4,000 inhabitants, and only ten have
more than 20, 600, while nineteen have
less than 1900 and two less than 5000
In many of the mountainous counties
the conditions of life are simple to the
last degree, and the people are far re-
moved from the great currents of ma
tional life in spirit as we'll as in dis
lance and time.

Mrs. M'cue's Miracle.
SAYS SHE WAS CURED BY FAITH AND
SOME CLAY FROM A PRIESTS GRAVE.
(By telegraph to the N. Y. Herald


Wilkesbarre, Pa. July 20, 1894 =
Mrs. Anna McCue, fifty eight years old,
has for several years been totally blind,
and several physicians pronounced the
case hopeless, yet to day she can see as
well,as the average woman of her age.
Her remarkable cure, she says. was
brought about by dream. She told
her children some time ago that she
had peculiar dream. In it the Rev.
Father O'Hara, her pastor, who had
been dead some years, appeared at her
bedside, and laying his hands upon her
eyes, bade her look and she would see.
She opened them and could see as dis
tinctly as when she was girl.
She was deeply impressed by the
dream, and said she felt in her heart
that if Father O'Hara could return to
earth again and could touch her eyes
with his fingers she could be cured. A
few nights later she again had the same
dream, and was so deeply impressed
by it that she went down to Hanover
Cemetery, to the grave of the priest
and prayed. Returning home again
she told her children she knew that if
she merited the blessing her eyesight
would be returned to her. Time and
again she visited the grave. and last
Wednesday, while praying there, some
thing, she can not explain what, moved
her to gather several handfuls of soil
from the top. This she carried home,
and she bound some of it over her eyes
with handkerchief, and again fer
vently praying that her eyesight
might be. restored, went to bed. 80
When she unbound the cloth in the
morning. she was able to lift her eye
lids. something she had not been able
to do for years. Overjoyed at this she
passed the day in prayer, and that
night again bound some of the earth
over her eyes. In the morning she
was able to see as well as before her
eyes were affected.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The Presi-
dent tonight appointed the commits

the recent railroad strike at Chicago

ton, of Peoria, Ills.
Mr.. Herman is a well known lawyer
in Utica, N. Y, and son of ex United
States Senator Francis Herman. He
has been particular and thorough
student of labor question and has writ
ten several important contributions to

present and made speech accepting
the nomination. We have had no
doubt that he would be the nominee
OF the Republican party, and as little
that Hon. Harry Tucker would be the
nominee of the Democratic party
Both have represented this district in
Congress, both are young men of talent
and good speakers, and they will make
quite lively and interesting canvass.

"HARRY OF THE TENTH"

In referring to the services of Hon
Harry" Tucker in Congress, the Cliff
ton Forge ReoieaD of July eth, says
HE has distinguished himself by his
honesty, intelligence and ability, and
into no other hands can the electors of
the tenth district so safely commit the
charge of their interests in Congress
for the ensuing two years as into those
of Mr.. Tucker. He is without rival or
peer in the district for the qualities of
mind and heart which should distin-
guisl our congressional representative,
and the Democrats of the district-and
they are more than a majority of its
voters-will give him their most hearty,
loyal and loving support. Had he ac-
complished nothing more during bis
congressional career than to introduce
and secure the passage of the enact
ment repeating the Odious Federal
election laws. he would have deserved
the praise of every Democrat in the
South; and particularly of his own
State and district; but he has done
much more than this, and we are glad
to believe that he will continue for at
least two years to come to hold the
position that he fills with such high
honor to himself and satisfaction to his
constituents.
Let the rallying cry of our Democrats
from now until November be Harry
of the Tenth!'
