Arbor Day.

State Superintendent of schools, Virgil
A. Lewis, has selected November 16 as Ar
Dor Day, and he urges its general observance
by the schools of our State. In his 'pro-
clamation'' to the teachers and pupils con-
corning the subject Sir. Lewis says:
Customs and law have established Arbor
Day as n school holiday devoted to the en-
couragement of love for the beauties of
nature and to the teaching of truths I'M
folded by blossom ard leaf.
The observance of this day, however, need
not be confined to our children. In the adoru-
ment of our homes and gardens with the
glories of foliage and flowers, we may fitly
recognize the occasion aud contribute to the
comfort and pleasure of the country and the
happiness of the coming generations.
Beautify the school grounds, plant trees
all around it. If the children are to love
the school, its surroundings must be made
pleasant for them. They will in the future
owe much to the environments of school life.
Hoping that the day may be fifty observed
by the more than six thousand schools of
West Virginia. am
Most obedientIy yours.
VIRGIL A. LEWIS,
State Supt. Free Schools.
In connection with this letter in regard
to the subject Mr.. Lewis has outlined pro-
gram ofexercises for the day services which
he presents to the consideration of both
teachers and pupils. He does not offer it as
an arbitrary authority, but he suggests that
the general plan he outlines covers about
all the needful proceedings of the day
The following is his suggestion of a pro-
gram:
1. Devotional exercises.
2. Reading of the governors Arbor Day
proclamation.
8. Song.
4. Essays, reading or orations. These
should be brief, consisting of original pro-
auctions relating to trees, their habits, loca-
ton, etc.
5. Remarks by visitors.
6. Address. A short address suitable to
the day. To be delivered by some one in
yited by the school.
6. Planting of trees. BY arrangement the
tree or trees should be dedicated to some
particular person.
s, Appointing of committees to guard the
trees planted.
9. Song.
10. Dismissal.

Is broad and the claims and qualifica-
tions of Mi. Trow, which we give more
in detail on another page, to this posi-
tion are just as good as those of any
other candidate in the state and where
there are 80 many other candidates in
the field the outcome is just as likely to
be in mis- favor as anyone's else. The
delegation, with Mi. McCallister at the
head, is strong one and ought to ac-
complish much to the credit OF Lake
county at the state convention. The
delegation also endorsed the reuomina-
ton OF Gov. Sheldon, and while it dis
cnssed the claims and merits OF the
three candidates for congress, did not
deem it best to take any formal action.
The attitude OF the delegation towards
candidates for the minor state offices
was also held in allegiance.

RAlL RoseERLes IN ITALY.

A Revival Of the Outrages which Were
Suppressed Three Years Ago.
Three years 8 the Italian govern
ment, yielding to urgent representations
from nearly every country iii Europe,
made a vigorous effort to stop the sys-
tematic robberies on railroads, which had
attained the dimensions of q national
scandal. The depredations were traced
to an organized gang composed mainly
of railroad servants well equipped with
false keys Of every known pattern. The
robbers were duly tried and sentenced.
For o couple of years after that travellers
were able TO move about italy with no
more than normal risks, but last autumn
the systematic thefts Of baggage in tram
sit recommended and have now reach
ed o scale equal to that of 1901.
The members of the new gang are
carrying ON their operations in the most
impudent manner. Trunks are opened
en- route, rifled Of their more valuable
contents and carefully relocked. Occa-
sionally they are taken out OF the cars
at intermediate stations in order that
they may be examined at greater leisure
by the c~onfederatee. Until recently the
thieves had kept their felonious hands
of the nails but they are now stealing
registered letters by wholesale, and this
daring development will probably prove
to be their undoing, for complaints are
pouring into Rome from foreign post

THE WHITE RUBBER GOAT.

Lord Byron looks with a naughty stare
Straight out from the shelf at me.
With the handsomest wave 20 his smooth
bisque hair
That an artist would care TO see.
And the proudest curl to his silent lip,
And the coolest and loftiest smile,
With his head set back ct a lordly tip
Der hat collar of flaring style.
And down In the corner of that same shelf
As meek as . goat might be,
A white rubber goat--asfNmed of himself
Stands wakblfng his beard at me.
A white rubber goat that / happened to know
Has q wonderful whistle somewhere
Concealed in the region that's hid below
b wealth Of his rubber hair.
The white rubber goat is a homely goat,
With eyes that are bloodshot and red.
Ard lcmpy whiskers that hang from his throat
In d bunch like q beard OF lead.
And the voice tina he shrfeks from his stomach
Ia shrfll
And his figure Is awkward and squat.
But I ween that that white rubber goat will
An errand which Byron cannot.
Oh. Byron. look down with your cold. bisqus

And scorn the white goat II you will
You never can quiet my baby'sc cry
With that countenance naughty and chill.

For the goat whose red mouth Into white hal

And whose voice IL a squeeze whistles CRY.

A WHOLESOME DECISION.
a Telephone Company Has 20 Pay RoundIy
For DAMAGING Trees.

|%aN#4# -
The newspapers lately contained an
account 81 d lawsuit which has interest
for ever one who believes that the
owner of q tree has q right to complain
when ii is recklessly mutilated The
employees Of q telephone company were
stretching wires along the road which
skirts the property Of Mr.. George w.
Hawkins, near Newburg, and in doing
90 they disfgured half o dozen spruce
trees, which had been planted by his
father, by cutting off the branches. No
consent to this mutilation had been Civ
en- by the owner of the trees, and the
linemen, as usual, had used their saws
and axes without mercy.
Mr.. Hawkins sned the company for
5000, estimating the damage at 500 o
tree. The jury gave a verdict for $500.
Under the provisions of the code in this
state Mr.. Hawkins lawyers then moved
that o triple Judgment be made, and
the court astounded the defendants by
granting this and increased the judg
ments to Oh, 800. It is to be hoped that
the higher courts win confirm this judg-
ment and hold that a growing tree has
q value beyond the mere amount of tim
Der it contains, and that the owner has
o right to watch its growth and enjoy
its beauty and to derive pleasure from
it's associations. The courts should take
into account that q tree cannot be re-
placed In many years, and the wanton
destruction of such property ought to
call for exemplary damages. Ever since
the country was settled we have been
learning how to cut down trees, but ii
Is high time that we learn the real
value Of those which have escaped and
stand where they can delight us by
their beauty and refresh rs with their
shade.
The decision of this Orange county
judge is o wholesome one, and such de-
cisions are needed to teach the linemen
Of telephone and telegraph companies a
lesson which win make them more AN
tious about invading private rights. -

service in the state house of representa-
tives, during part of which time he was
chairman of the agricultural college
committee and speaker OF the house. In

a. Pierre made the following state levies:
General fund, 2 mills; bond interest and
sinking fund, three-tenths of a mill;
special sinking fund, t~hree-tenths of a
mill; corporations, 40 mills. The total
state levy of &c mills is nearly two mills
less than last year and a remarkably
light tax considering the yastness of u
state machinery and institutions. The
corporations tax Of 4 per cent. is some
thing anomalous and We fear over

In some respects aud bad in others and

policy OF failing to properly assess the
value Of corporation property and then

stitutional but we fear the state will get
an opportunity to cost it something to

proper assessment and IN equitable levy.

A USEFUL MACHINE.

nc Counts W. Thousand silver Dollars q
Minute In the Philadelphia Mint.
The feat OF counting z, 900 silver doll
lars per minnie is now being performed
at the mint by d little machine invent
ed by Sebastian Heines, the chief car
penter Of the institution, and by its aid
the work of counting the coin and
weighing the silver bars can, it is
thought. be completed by the middle of
July. The slow progress made in count
ing by hand led Mr.. Heines to expert
ment, with the result, after the expend-
iture OF much thought and time, of
turning out q very successful machine.
Mr.. Morgan OF Mint Director Pres
toms Office was greatly Interested in the
experiments, and upon witnessing the
final successful test Of the invention he
granted permission for its MSS in count
ing the great mass OF silver dollars The
machine was put into regular operation
yesterday, and when worked to It's linn.
it was easily able 20 dispose o. two bags
of coins containing ~, 900 in b minute.
The machine consists Of hopper, into
which the coins arc dropped. a. cog
wheel, the teeth Of which resemble those
of q circular saw, carries the coins to
tubes, and from there they are forced
out upon d little table containing 40
grooves, each Of which holds just 10
coins. A turn of the crank counts !. 600
COINS which + immediately put into

before the expiration Of the minute.-
