The Weston Asylum.
Charleston Mail Rep.

We take great deal of pleasure
in being able to tell the people Of
the State that the Asylum for the
Insane. at Weston, is in better con
dition than it has been for years.
And we know that the people will be
gratifled to know it, For more than
ten years past that institution has
been the source of political strife
and factional quarrels. dragged into
every legislative assembly. We be-
lieve that this institution will no
longer be hone of contention. Gov
ernor MacCorkle deserves much
credit from his party and from the
people of the State for his success
full effort to make this institution an
object of pride instead Of y source Of
disgrace to West Virginia,

Henry y. Ives, the Young Napoleon of
Finance, Dies Of Consumption at
AsheyilIe, N. ellis Remarkable
Ventures in the Speculative World
Great Record as Railroad Wrecker.
New YORK, April S.-Henry S.
Ives, known as the Young Napoleon
of Finance" died at 1880 this even
ing. The news reached here in a
telegram from Asheville, N. c. stat
ing that his death had occurred near
that place. He had been suffering
from consumption for some time
In the spring of 1882 Ives, then Is
years of age, left the Connecticut
town of Litchfieid to come to New
York and seek his fortune. AS he
had no friends and little education,
he was only able to get place as
spittoon cleaner and sweeper, but in
Is months he managed to get place
as clerk at $40 week in the office
of Charles t. Wing, broker, where
he soon became familiar with rail
road business in all it's details. He
left Wing and soon made his first
sensational move by creating cor
ner in the stock of a small telegraph
company. He made nothing, how
ever, as the Exchange Governors de-
clared the contract invalid and
check mated the 19-year-old schemer.
His next move was to secure con-
troll of the mineral range, a small
but rich linein Minnesota, and as he
had only $4,000 and his friends but
little, he did this by buying and
then hypothecating stock. He at
once proceeded to gut the road, and
between July, 1885, and December,
1886, he stole nearly $4,000. In
January. 1886. he started a banking
house, and in the spring Of that year,
with the assistance of capitalist,
Christopher Meyer. secured, by
crooked methods, control of the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton. He
kept up this kind of work all that
summer. But his affairs were more
rapidly becoming involved when be

to gather about him, and soon the
crash came.

An Awful Story.
Very truly,
A. B. COOPER.

There are an awful lot of awfully
sweet girls in Morgantown who will
do awfully well to read this awful
warning from an awfully grabbed
and baldheaded bachelor editor.
There was once an awful girl
who had an ''awful' everything. She
had an awful house in an awful vii
lage, which was an awful distance
from every other awful place. She
went to an awful school, where she
had an awful teacher, who gave her
awful lessons out of awful books.
Every day she was so awful hungry
that she ate an awful amount of food
so that she looked awful healthy.
Her hat was awfulrsma and her
feet were awful large. When che
took an awful walk she climbed aw-
full hills, and when she got awful
tired she sat down under an awful
tree to rest herself. In summer she
was awful hot, and in winter awful
cold. When it did not rain there
was an awful drouth. II this little
girl does not get rid of this vulgar
way of saying lawful" about every
thing. ! am afraid she will come to
an awful end.

In recent years the advertisements

Of people for taking advantage of the
necessities of their fellow men to OBJ
tain something for less than its real
value is utilized by the promoters OF
these schemes to dispose of second
class goods at first class prices.
Some of these sharks have an admir-
able system TO better enable them to
delude and hoodwink the public
Instead OF, as was formerly the
custom, dropping down into town,
renting a room and at once advertis-
ing their great bankrupt sale, they
pursue different method. A stool

himself as the agent of jobbers, puts

proceeds to foreclose.

other town to repeat the operation.
The conspirator who is left in charge

of better cause, floods the surround

"mortgagee's SALE" with some ac-
count of the wonderful sacrifices to

the earliest practical moment, and
cunningly worded "locals'' reciting
the same story, find their way into
the columns Of the local papers.
These specious "sales" seldom de-
ceive the sensible man or woman. A
moments consideration should con
vince any one that if The merchan-
disc offered was as represented,
standard goods, before the local mer.
chants and dealers would allow them
to be disposed Of in competition
with their goods they would buy the
entire stock and take it out of the
market The "agent," if the mort
gage was bona fide. would be glad
to dispose of the entire stock in this
mannerin order to save time and ex-
pense. But such is not the case.
This class of goods is manufactured
expressly for these irresponsible
concerns and is never found on the
counters of reputable dealers. The
gudgeons who bite at the bait get
hooked. Trade with established
merchants is the only safe rule.

WHAT TO DO WITH THEM
Is the Great Question With the Wash
ington Authorities Concerning the
Commonwealers.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The
Washington authorities are begin
ming to take an active interest in the
arrival of Coxey's army. AS the
Commonweal approaches, stories of
detachments that will join him from
various cities are authenticated, and
the outlook for a rather troublesome
problem becomes bright.
The question is, what will be done
with the Coxeyites after they dis
band? Individual members of the
army will be without the means to
get away. General Coxey has dis
claimed all intention of leading away
the men he brings in. 1t begins to
look as though the men might en-
camp in the District indefinitely,
practically say the authorities. They
will say, here we are, what do you
propose to do with us2
A detachment of Coxey's forces
will start from Boston, Saturday. to
meet their commander here. Eighty
