THE HOSoRSFALL TO BERTHA SCHRADER AND

The Individual Averages Not Yet COmputsd-Name'
Of the Acknowledgements for
Commencement Exercises.

The graduating class of '94, Of the
Wheeling public schools, has passed
through the ordeal OF final exsmina-
ton, their papers have been graded,
and the suspense under which they
have been laboring is at last removed.
The competition for honors was spir-
tied and interesting, as the high aver
ages of the successful pupils will at
test. The class is one Of the largest,
and, in every respect, one Of the most
creditable ever turned out from the
schools.
The last examination was conducted
by Prof. Anderson, on Tuesday of last
week. Since that time he has worked
day and night on the papers. All the
papers have been graded but the aver
ages have not yet been computed, and
the standing of the individual members
of the class will not be known until this
evening or tomorrow. Enough is
known, however, 10 make it certain that
the hOnors have been captured by a
bright,young lady from Union school
Miss Bertha Schrader. Miss Schrader's
average is 5, which shows that she ia
practically perfect. This is the highest
average ever attained by graduate Of
the public schools, honor Of which
Miss Schrader may feel justly proud.
The second honors fall TO Harry NJ.
Hall, of Webster district, whose average
is 9S2. A number Of the pupils stand
higher than 95 per cent.
Following are the names Of the mem
berS of the class:

TOMBS OF THE PTOLEMlES.
No Mistake About the Discovery of the
Burial Place of Cleopatra.

No Mistake About the Discovery of the
Burial Place of Cleopatra.
"The tombs are intact, and no doubt
as the excavations proceed the tombs of
all the Ptolemies will be brought to
light. There is no doubt about the
matter, as the names Of the occupants
are wei the doors. The doors are of
bronze and covered with Greek inscrip-
lions. Here and there the bronze has
corroded, so that with the aid of a mag
nesium light they could see the marble
sarcophagi and lots of other things in
the rooms. Some of the vaults seem to
be full of rolls and parchments, but this
is mere guesswork on the part Of the
observers. All will be cleared up when
the khedive returns from Constantine
pie, as he is to superintend the opening
of Alexander's and C~leopatra's tombs."
Dr.. Grant Bey, the writer Of this let
ter, goes OF to say: "Lots of beautiful
vases and gold things have been found
and a most beautifully executed stella, in
whose tomb they found a crown of go. y.
My information is at first hand because
l had a long conversation with the pro-
prietor of the land and the manager of
the digging this afternoon. In the course
of digging the Greek gentleman came
upon a pit that led down to a series of
vaults 80 feet below the surface. These
are the tombs of the Ptolemies, and the
n exposed to view is that of Cleopatra.
The others have still to be excavated,
but they are there-only all the passages
are filled with earth. Twenty feet deeper
and only six feet above the sea level is
Alexander's tomb, all by itself, only
there are some chambers near it filed
with rolls and parchment-in other
words, a library of ancient books

SENATORIAL FIGHT
There Are New RumOrs Afoat Among
the Politicians at Bes
MOines.
One Is to the Effect that Wilson Will
Resign and Gear Will Take
His Place.
Another That General ClarkSOn Will
Be In the Race-FOrmer More
Probable.

DIS MONIES, Jan. 11.-There are two
new rumors afioat in regard to the SEN
atorial fight. One is that the friends of
General j.. S. Clarkson, now in New
York, will spring his name before the
fnal fight comes. The second is that
Senator James F. Wilson will resign
Immediately, as his health is very poor,
and that Governor Jackson, as soon as
~inaugurated, will appoint Mr..
Gear to fill the vacancy. This
would, of course, include the with
drawal of Gear from the present con-
test. The latter rumor is more apt to
develop into something serious than the
former, as Mr.. Clarkson has repeatedly
written to his friends that he has no
desire to re-enter politics. In fact he
will not do so under any circumstances,
as he is engrossed in business. If Gear
should be withdrawn, as suggested,
there remain five candidates in the field,
and it would become a hard struggle
between them.

WINNIPEG, Jan. 12.-SThe Tribune
publishes a lengthy expose Of the prac.
tice of granting divorces In the city that
has been going IN for more than'a year.
These divorces were granted by a man
who was recently regarded 8 a rabbi.
He charged all the way from % to s.
each, and granted them on the most
trivial pretexts. Wives objected,
but were finally overcome, as it
was represented to them as
their spiritual duty to obey. In conse-
quence a number of citizens are known
to be living in a state of bigamy. A
short time ago a man came from st.
Paul to seek a divorce in this way. His
wife followed him here, and before the
divorce was given to enable the hus-
band to remarry, she applied to the
and said there were no grounds
for the divorce. The priest was inexor-
orable, accepted the fee and granted the
divorce, and the man married another
woman shortly Afterwards. Wife No. 1
was subsequently satisfied with receiv-
ing a small sum of money from her
husband. Further interesting develop
are promised.

ACQUITTED AFTER Fl YEARS.
A Georgia Man Accused of q Murder Whiod
Was developed In Mystery.

AGeorgia MAJ Accused OF q Murder which
was developed In Mystery.
A Cleveland (Ga.) correspondent Of
the st. Louis Globe Democrat sends his
paper the following story:
At midnight q verdict was rendered
In the superior court which relieved
Marcus Van Diver of a charge of muir
der which he has been battling for over
81 years.
In June of 1879 M. X. Palmer, who
was at the time one of the most noted
lawyers and politicians of the state, a.
tended court here. He was engaged in
the prosecution of cases against several
prominent men charged with forging
land titles. While riding to the home
Of q friend with whom he boarded he
was shot to death. No trace of his muir
derer could be found. A few weeks
later Marcus Van Diver, who wa poor
cropper, suddenly bloomed out into q
man of means. Where he got his money
no one knew, and for want of a better
explanation the people declared that the
land title forgers had paid him to muir
der the man who was so much in their
way. This theory led to an indictment
for murder.
For some strange reason, while pro-
claiming his innocence, Van Diver al
ways kept his case at the head of the
docket, and for 81 years has averted trial.
To secure these ~continuances required
influences of the strongest kind, which
he always commanded. The courthouse,
with many records, has been burned
since 1872, and many witnesses have
died. Van Diver elected this last week
that it was safe to allow his case to come
to trial. Among the persons present in
the courtroom was the posthumous
daughter of the dead lawyer, who is now
a beautiful young woman. The verdict
of acquittal was unavoidab. because of
the death and absence Of with sses. Van
Diver is going to move to Texas next
week,

WOOL AND T

Considering the Small Amount Of Ma
chinery Operated the Market IL Good.
Boston, Jan. 13.--The wool and cot
report says: The limited demand
for wool continues. There has been an
increased amount of territory taken, but
it has been parcelled out among a num-
Der Of mills.
Considering the small amount of
woollen machinery in operation, the
very narrow market and other depress-
ing features prevailing, it is quite re-
that the market shows TIE
present strength. The sales of the week
amount to 1886, 900 pounds domestic,
and 1894, 900 pounds foreign. This is a
total of 1859, 900 pounds against $685.
600 pounds for the corresponding week
last year. The sales since Jan. /, 1894,
amount to 1894, 200 pounds against
1861, OOO pounds a year ago.

window Screens.

A transparency at a kitchen window
attracted my notice the other day by its
novelty. II made it," said the owner,
because I could not get a transparency
at the village store. l wanted one of
those screens, you know, that permit you
to see out, but do not let outsiders see IN.
l took an old frame for a wire screen,
painted it to match the outside painting
of the house and then tackled it to a piece
of organdie, fitting it perfectly and
stretching it very tight. From thin
chintz l cut flowers and sprays, and ar
ranging the design in my mind proceed
ed to paste them on. After all were on
l laid a piece of pasteboard behind and
put on heavy weights until they were
dry. 1 then gave the whole a coat of

THE DEATH OF THE EARTH.

It Will Be Occasioned by the Gradual Ex-
tinction of the Sun.
NJ. Camille Flammarion says that in
all probability, Notwithstanding all the
circumstances which threaten it, our
planet will die, not of an accident, but of
a natural death. That death will be the
consequence of the extinction of the sun,
in $1,000, 900 years or more-perhaps 3d.
400, O00-since its condensation in a rela-
lively moderate rate will give it on one
hand II, OOO, 900 years of existence, while,
on the other hand, the inevitable fall of
the meteors into the sun may double this
number.
Even if you suppose the duration of
the sun to be prolonged to 40 1000, 900
years, it is still incontestable that the
radiation from the sun cools it, and that
the temperature of all the bodies tends to
any equilibrium. Then the earth and
all the other planets of our system will
cease to be the abode of life. They will
be erased from the great book and will
revolve, black cemeteries, around an ex-
tinguished sun
Will these planets continue to exist
even then? Yes, probably in the case Of
Jupiter, and perhaps Saturn? No, be.
yond a doubt, for the small bodies such
as the earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury and
the moon. Already the moon appears
| to have preceded US toward theiinal des
| ert. Mars is much farther advanced
| than the earth to the same destiny. We
nus, younger than us, will doubtless
survive us. These little worlds lose theil
| elements of vitality much faster thai
| the sun loses it's heat.
From century to century, from yea
to year, from day to day, from hour Il
hour, the surface of the earth is trans
formed. On the one hand the CONT
nents are crumbling away and beconin,
covered by the sea, which insensibly AM
by slow degrees tends to invade and sub
merge the entire globe. On the othe
hand, the amount of water on the glob
is diminishing. A careful and reason
able calculation shows that by the az
, ton of erasure alone all the land on on
planet will be covered by water in 10
0O0, 0OO years.

Very Nearly Cause Serious Trouble ~ .
Deadwood Mining Camp.
DEADwooD, s. D., Jan. 13.-Three
hundred members of the Miners union
went over to Anna Greek, the scene Of
operations Of the South Dakota Mining
company, in a body, where were en-
ployed 100 miners who were working
against the rules of the union and get
ting scab pay. The mob was followed
by the sheriff and his posse, all heavily
armed. The union men were armed
with Winchesters. When they arrived
at the camp they demanded of MI.
Leck, the superintendent, that he pay
the union scale. He refused, and the
scabs were ordered off the work. The
and the engineer attempted
to give an explanatory talk against the
action of the union, and they were COM
PEELED to seek shelter in a log cabin,
where they
Stood the Crowd on
with drawn revolvers. The attorney
for the company, F. w. Martin, and the
superintendent were injured, the former
by being thrown over an smbankment,
the latter from being hit on the head by
a rock. Only the interference of the
sheriff and his posse prevented a serious
collision, a. the scabs were armed and
would have resented any armed display
by the union men. Late at night the
union men rounded up the scabs and
walked them to Dsadwood. The trouble
is but the beginning Of a bitter labor
war which has long been threatened.
The action Of the union is denounced as
being uncalled for and entirely out of
its jurisdiction. 1t is feared that serious
complications will be the outcome of
this affair,
