ing the most readily mani

select one for my operations.
The last governmentg grain
report had shown a prospect
Of a very short crop Of corn.
This, l reasoned, would en-
nance the price OF the great
stock of glucose held by the
Glucose Trust, or would
give me an argument to
that effect, at any rate,
and form for me a basis
upon which to work. The
increase of the price of
glucose would naturally
make their certificates Of
more value, they having
fallen very low during the
sugar panic. Thus it was
that l selected glucose to
make my great coup in the

MESSENGERS FROM SPIRIT LAND.

/ Children Return From Heaven TO sum
mon Priest to Their Fathers Bed
I side.
A peculiar iucieent in the life OF Rev.
I Thomas j. Barry, rector OF st. Ann 5
/ Catholic Church, has been brought 10
mind through the somewhat similar
story OF the death in Washington OF
/ Father Walters, who was prominently
connected with the famous Surratt case.
/ The event referred 20 occurred when
/ Father Brrry was rector Of the Church
OF our Lady of Visitation, at Lehigh
I avenue and Leamy street, Philadelphia,
says The Times.
one stormy night after Father Barry
had retired he was awakened by his
/ hOusekeeyer who said that she had
heard the bell 10 the sanctuary ring.
He told ner she must have been droam-
ing, but she stouty denied this and
babe him listen. Sure enough they
soon heord the bell ring as if by a per-
son In great haste. Father Barry, how
ever, thought there were burglars in the
church, and dressing hastily, he took
light and boldly entered the building.
What was his surpaise 10 see kneel'
ing before tee altar, two small, poorly
clad children, their faces wet with tears,
who seemed 10 have been praying.
When asked what they were doing there
20 such an unSeemly hpur they replied
thar their father was dying in the EpiS-
copa Hospital, and that they had come
foa the father 10 administer the las
sacrament
1Father Barry took took the fathers
name and went In haste 10 the hospital.
When be explained be explained his
err2ud, the superintendent expressed
great surprise. lie said that there was
no dying i'm the hospital by the
nan Eater Barry mentioned, but that
no had been sent for the priest.
The priest was taken 10 the side OF q
cot on which lay man with wdIe
wasted face.
"Nho are you?" demanded the man
in weak voice as the priest apprOach,d
him.
''I am prieSt-did You not send for
me a few moments agOE'
"Y0u are mistaken, the man whiS-
pered; II did not send for You-I nave
no one 20 send-I am all alone IN the
world am dying
That is strange replied the priest,
"ior found two children in the church.
They had rung the bell and they told
me that their father lay here dying and
gave me your name"
"Is IL poSsible?' gasped the man,
sDriuging up in bed. Two children,
did you say? What did they look
like?"
Their appearance was described in
few words, and as the man listended
his head dropped upon mis- bosom. Tears
poured from his eyes, and he tried 10
speak. AT last, with a great effort, he
cried:
They were my children-the chill
dren I 6uried-cOme back from heaven
TO help save my SOUL With this ne
fell bacS dead.

BELLAIRE.

Belaire experienced another sunday,
aud 50 far as noticed places OF business
under the ban OF the ordinance and
Mayor Dubois order were tightly
closed. There was considerable drink
INK carried on Saturday night, and four
or five arrests we're made for drunken
ness. As the Mayor holds no Sunday
morning court ike his predecessor did,
sOme OF those arrested were compelled
10 linger behind the bars, There was
less journeying 70 Benwood after beer
yesterday than the sunday previous.
The attendance at the churches was
not large, owing TO the prevailing rain.
The departure Of so many women of
questionable character from Bellaire
through fear Of the iron hand Of Mayor
Dubois IS regarded as fake. Their
brazen faces still confront US.
Three bows from this city are in jail
A. GAINESVILLE as suspects. Their names
are PimpIe, Rock and Mcmillan. a lot
OF watches, jewelry, etc, was found on
their persons.
Amicable arrangements were made
between the B. & O. isoIlroad officials
and the managers Of the Epvorth
Assembly az their conference held SAT
urday afternoon.
There was not single arrest made
by the police Yesterday, and the Mayors
add NarshaVS offices were tightly closed
against the usual number of sunday
loungers.
The lecture OF Col George W Balm
at the First Presbyterian Church was
not attended by as arge "A crowd OF
people as the merit Of the lecture way
ranted.
Col. w. c. Brown, secretary OF the
Quaker City glass works, spent Sunday
in the city the guest Of his brother,
Charles %. Brown.
A man whose name could not be learn

And the Pollard BrsckInrldEe Case Re-
calls It

chaflstoa Gazette.
The Pollard Breckinridge case has
become noted more on account OF the
extreme prominence OF the defendant
and the character Of the evidence in-
trOduced, than anything else. There
probably never was, nor will be, an
other case Of like kind, which will be so
sensational or so much talked about
Very naturally, "Old Timers" are hav-
ing their inning. and many are the rem
iniscences OF similar trial which oc-
CURED ia this county long years ago,
and az the time was quite famous local
IN, though now almost forgotten.
Somewhere in the fortieS, Ninton Il.
CoDen, now living in this county, Sc
duced, under the promise of marriage,
as was proven in the trial. Miss Jane
O'Daniel, long since deceased. Miss
O'Daniel then brought suit ia the Cir
cult Court 20 recover 500 damages.
Judge Summers was engaged for the
plaintiff, but having been elected 20
the bench about that time, he got
Elisha McCOmas 20 take his place In
the case. Judge Brown conducted the
defence. The fight was hot one, and
created a great deal Of public interest
Justice won, 40 length, and a verdict
was rendered for the plaintiff.
Now the peculiar thing about the
verdict was the fact that while the
plaintiff sued only FOR 500 the jury
gave her $4,000. OF course the de-
tense Immediately objected, were suS-
tanned, and q Judgment drawn up for
the amount originally sued for; and II
might not be out Of place TO add that
the lady never did get all OF that.
This case shows that there is either a
vast change in the sentiment OF the
people since that time, or else kauawha
county iurles are made of different stud
from that which tried the Pollard
Breckinridgs case, for 10 that the plain
tif, suing for $4,000 damages, got less
than "a third Of that amount, while in
the O'Dauiel-Copen case, similar even In
details, the plaintiff, suing for only
50, 600, was awarded by the jury ten
times that amount.

New York Wool Market.

Sales average well for the season, but
they show a loss of 100000 900 pounds IN the
Boston market since January compared
with year ago. The feature OF the trade
is the scarcity of delaine fieeces, and under
better demand the market IS tlrmer for
this grade at 24c. for Ohio, with transac-
tions noted at the close as high as 25c.
Fine fieeces are quiet at 2lHa22c. for NN
aud above Ohio, with NO clothing dull a;
23a23c. Pulled woods have met with bet
ter sale, particularly the lower grades IN
the way OF B and & supers, and prices for
such are firmer. The movement in terri

come forward and looked well. But little
fat Sleeps wool is arriving as yet. Aus

THE SILK INDUSTRY.


TIE SILK INDUSTRY.
zotAs Edito- or ne Rsgssts-:
SIB:-I notice in the american EconO-
mist, OF March 30, an article with the
above title by Briton Richardson, sec
rotary OF the American silk Association.
or course his article is intended 10 show
what a very narrow margin there IS IN
the silk manufacture even under the
Mckinley tariff, and that II that tariff
Is reduced the only recourse IS 70 cut
down wages or shut up the silk mills.
He says, THE growth OF the Ameri-
eau silk Industry has been unparalleled
aud ought TO be national pride. /
suppose It ought on the same principle
that Bill Nye is proud Of the potatoes
which be raises on mis- South Carolina
farm, costing % cents each and rather
small potatoes at that"
The silk goods produced in this coun-
try cost the consumers OF this country
about so cents more on the dollars
worth, owIg 10 protection, than the
goods are worth 10 the worlds market
TO show this wonderful growth the
following table is given:
Year Vslus o. Product.

The following table gives additional
light;
1S50-lSsl av. tariff - per cent inc....2i5 pr Co..
l6s0-lS9O. av. tarid 55 per cent: inc..-.llS Dr. CO.
From the above we ind that under a
loW tariff Of % per cent the per cent OF
Increase was double the per cent OF in
crease under the a.ch tariff OF 80 per
cent from 1850 % $500.
The most remarkable thing about this
communication is the bareiaced fraud
which this writer attempts 20 palm OF
upon the country iu regard TO the prof
its of the silk association. lt is nothing
less than an attempt 20 obtain money
under false preteuSes, by false state
ment OF the total cost OF manufacture.
Through the kindness OF Carroll ID.
Wright, acting su per.ntendeut Of the
census, had just received the advance
sheets Of the census on manufactures,
and when I read Mr.. Richardson's COM
municatiOn, doubling, on general prin-
ciples, its accuracy, i turned 20 the CEN

4 kabyIe Marriage.
All the Year Round.

All the ear tSOUnu.
The ceremony among the Kabyles is in
teresting because of its comparative re-
semblance TO the customs of the old Greeks
prevail in SeQueStered parts CT France.
Here it is the girls father who exacts a
wedding portion, sum of about fS, for
which the bridegroom has generally TO rely
upon the advances OF his friends. Often.
too, the young man has not a house for
his bride, in which case his friends set to
work and build one-no very difficult mat
ter.
on the wedding day the bride is led
through the villages in the neighborhood,
mounted on mule, and escorted by friends
and relations, who shout and fire guns
again and again. The various householders
hasten forth TO offer her a sieveful of
beans, nuts or dried figs. OF these she
takes a handful. which she kisses and
then replaces in the sieve. All the offerings
are collected in sacks by the old women
of the procession as contributions to the
young peoples larder.
At the bridegroom's house the girls
hands are washed with liquid butter. Then
they give her some fresh eggs which she
breaks on the mules head and inside the
unhappy animals ears. thereby, it is be-
Heved, counteracting any evil designs
against her and her husbands happiness.
Before entering the house she drinks milk.
fresh and sour. and also water, and scat
ters over her shoulder a handful Of bar
ley. wheat and salt for the good of the
family.
The husband then approaches her and
fires a pistol above her head to signify that
thencefOrward he has the power of life and
death over her. Not infrequently he makes
the symbol even more emphatic by firing
into her headdress and setting her aflame.
This done. little remains, except for the
youth to lift the lady in his arms and carry
he bodily into his house.
