A MOUNTAIN ROMANCE.
II is Recalled By the Death of an Aged
Woman.

UNfoNTowN, Pa, Oct. 2l.-An old
romance of the mountains has been
recalled by the death of Mrs. Jennie
Hoar, aged 90 years, at her home
back of Jumonville Seventy years
ago there came to this county from
Massachusetts young man named
James Hoar, son of a prominent cit
izen of Boston, educated at one OF
the leading eastern colleges. Be
yond this nothing could be learned
of his life or the reason of his com
ing to live away from the luxury to
which he had been accustomed He
secured work as day laborer at the
old Wharton furnace
A short time afterward he suffered
broken leg and was taken to the
home of Benjamin Brownson for
treatment Brownson's daughter
Jennie cared for the injured man,
and afterward became his wife.
They located near Dunbar. Years
afterward a southern planter named
La Claire and his wife came for sum
mer quarters to the 1oar home. The
daughter of the home, then twenty
one years Of age, was a fair haired
girl, and when the La Claires left
she disappeared 1t was believed
she had been kidnapped, but the
mystery never was solved. The
girls mother was broken hearted by
her loss. Her father died at the age
of eighty-three without giving any
particular reason for his humble life.
Since then his widow earned live
lihood by selling roots and herbs
gathered in the mountains. Her
death ends a romance tinged with
tragedy.

Democrats Must Sink Personal
Differences.

This is the advice of William c.
Whitney, who, in his letter declining
to accept the Craftsmanship of the
campaign committee in New York
after explaining his reasons for SO
declining says: at seems to me
that there never has been time
when Democrats ought to sink per-
sonal differences and stand together
for the principles and perpetuity of
their party as now. In 1892 the
Democratic party was intrusted with
all branches of the National Govern
ment for the first time in thirty years.
1t WAS not an accidental victory, but
won upon principle and for a great
national purpose. This is the first
election taking place since the party
has made a permanent record Of its
national policy in the legislation of
the present Congress. A little re-
Election must show that the general
purposes of the party as a national
party are at this very time having
their great test before the people l
might criti else as to details, as many
do, the manner in which the party
has, during the last year, discharged
the trusts committed to it, but, at
this moment, differences among
Democrats are not being fought out;
it is against the Republican party,
our common enemy, that we are
drawn up. While Democrats are
making faces at each other, MeKin-
leyism is being preached on the stump
and in the Republican press, and the
verdict of the elections will be as
sumed to have been handed in upon
this great national issue. Nothing
that Democrats can do will prevent
this"
This is the advice of one who is a
Democrat from conviction and not
for the sake of office and it should be
accepted and acted upon by the Dem
ocrats in every county and State in
the Union where an election canvass
is in progress.

THE TITAN OF CHASMS.
A Mile Deep, ID Miles Wide. 217 Miles
Long, and Painted Like n Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also a trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.

Would Make the Fur Sly.

Col. McEldowney in commenting
on Hill as presidential possibility
says in the Wetzel Democrat
In one sense of the word, he would
be Democratic president. He
would make Republican fur fly down
at Washington. What a universal
general and glorious stampede there
would be! But devoutly as this con.
summation may be wished, there are
other things which as non office
holding, non office seeking Democrat
we would greatly prefer to see thar
David B. Hi. as Democratic can
didate for president. And, while WE
believe that Hill will be elected gov
ernor of New York, we do not be
lieve anything further.

Honesty in Politics.

At least one Democratic opponent
of the Wilson bill has heard from
his constituents in manner that
admits of no misrepresentation. His
name is Cornelius A. Cadmus; he
represents the Fifth district of New
Jersey, and will continue to repre-
sent it until the fourth of March
next. The Democratic caucus of
Mr.. Cadmus' district expressed its
opinion as follows:
ReSolUed, thatit is the feeling OF
this caucus that the Hon. Cornelius
A. Cadmus, now representing this
congressional district, because Of
his traitorous actions and votes or
the tariff bill, is not only not entitled
to our support, but deserves to be
and we hereby brand him as trait.
or to his party and repudiate him, as
a Democrat And it is further the
sense of this caucus that we had
better have an open political enemy
than one in disguise.
The action of the New Jersey
Democrats is especially significant
because more than one New Jerse,
congressman excused his opposition
to the Wilson bill on the ground
that it was opposed by his constitu
ents. The action of the Fifth New
Jersey Democrats simply indicates
that they took the Chicago platform
and previous tariff declarations o
their party in good faith; that they
the rank and file, at least were hon
est, and it will be found that the
great masses Of the people are at al
times honest in their political con
victions, and whether right or wron,
permit no trifing by their represen
tatives. News.

A SLAVES ATTACHMENT.
Returns to the Home of His Old Master
After 30 Years.

aitti ~ ItdlSs
A happy meeting occurred at
Pittsburg one day last week between
an old negro named Dick Pomeroy
and Mr.. James A. Allen, of Clarks
burg. w. Va In slavery days the
father of Mr.. Allen was the old ne
gro's master. AT the opening of the
war the slaves in the vicinity OF
Clarksburg wanted to strike out foI
Pittsburg and freedom. Pomeroy
was much attached to his home and
his master, but the others compelled
him to leave. The master was kind.
ly disposed to Pomeroy and wanted
him to come back.
When he died few years ago he
requested his sons to look for the old
slave and, if in need, take care of him
and provide him with home. Ori-
ter Reynolds, a former resident OF
Clarksburg, but now an engineer in
the Baltimore and Ohio yards, came
across the old negro one day driving
wagon on Smithfeld street. Pom
eroy said he had been longing to gel
back to his old home ever since BIZ
had left Mr.. REYNOLDS communica
ted with the Allen family, and th'
old negro is now happily fixed anC
is assured of good home for thu

A Feeling Tribute to the Memory of a

10 the Editor Of De sew DoNIsIos !:


We are apt to underrate the ex-
ample of the lowly, or to lose sight
of it in the presence of greater sta
tion though not greater virtue, We
do not always remember that the
virtues that make the most symmet-
rical man or woman, are the very
things that often lead him to OBJ
security; they do not, naturally, tend
to a noisy career for their owner.
There is something self contained
and unobtrusive about him, not
lowering the value of his example,
but making a very humble appear
ing person, very fit to be referred to
for example.
One of this class, deserving notice
was Mary Ann Jenkins, most ex-
emplary colored woman who died at
Smithtown, this county, on last Mon
day evening, and was known for her
sterling character throughout much
of this and adjacent counties. She
was born upwards Of seventy years
ago, in the family of James d. Wat
son, and lived with him until his
death. At the close of the war the
eolored people of that vicinity all
emigrated to Pennsylvania, among
them her sisters and only relatives;
but "Aunt Mary Ann" remained
with the family, and has lived ever
since with Messrs. VIM. f. and
Thomas f. Watson, at the White
Day homestead By her absolute
faithfulness in all things she en-.
deared herself to three generations
of that honored family, and is
mourned by them as one eff them.

still is such in the character she has
bequeathed to those who loved her,
an honor to her race. Possessed of

prophecies of life, it can justly be
said of "Aunt Mary Ann None

Give the Good Grown Girls Golf.


Golf is the name of the latest out
door sport 1t is imported from
England, where ladies of high degree
indulge in its destinations. Judging
from illustrations of women in the
act of playing the game it is scien-
tifc application of the principles of
shinney, reeollections of which are
likely to make most men in this
country involuntarily rub their shins
in memory of innumerable bruises
resulting from failure to "shinney
on their own side" Any game that
will give women out door exercise,
and accustom them to wearing COM

Oranges taken at stated times is
the latest remedy for inebriety.
Those who profess to know advise
the eating of one orange before break
fast, another at ii a. M, p. m, and
6 p. m., with another the last thing
before retiring. 1t is said that If
this orange diet is persisted IN it will
cure all but the worst cases. If this
healthful, nutritious fruit possesses
vet other medicinal virtues aside
from being sovereign remedy for
biliousness, and is, indeed remedy
for the liquor habit, the good news
should be spread far and wide. None
are too poor to test the cure, which,
in any event, can do no harm.

Where, Oh, where is Joe Mckinney!

One Joseph j. Mckinney, of Reeds
vile, w. Va, we are informed by Re

sumo under the Mckinley bill, at

was then in the trade, IS years ago
sold his wool, under Democratic low
tariff and free trade in wool, at much
more than 80 cents a pound. The
fact is beyond contradiction that i'm
mediately on the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill wool commenced to de

Henry Meyer is the candidate for
Congressman at-Large on the Dem
ocratic ticket in Pennsylvania. He
is well pleased with the outlook for
November in that State and does not
believe that the congressional dele
CATION from that State Will come near
the figures the republicans claim. In
a recent interview he gives his views
on the general situation as follows:
Republican legislation is respon-
sible for the late unexampled depres-
sion in the country's industries and
trade centers, as well as for the
troubles of Democracy, as the party
in power always suffers in situations
such as we must now meet But we
are meeting them.
"The industrial revival continues
growing day by day. AS the new
tariff schedule is applied, especially
in wool and steel, betterments are
easily seen and the experience of
change and improvement readily con
firms this.
Il see that the ten tin plate mills
of Pittsburg have shut down, and the
cause is given as the tariff. This is
just as untrue as the other stories.
The tin syndicate has plan to crush
out number of new enterprises in
order to control the market and wants
to get rid of the great stock import
ed before the Mckinley bill went in
to effect. This is the truth, and it
will soon come out.
And as to the Washington and
Greene county wool growers dispos
ing of their sheep because of the tar
iff, l notice that Markell q Co., of
Monongahela, are offering and have
instructed their country agents to
take up $4,000 pounds of wool at
twenty five cents, which is quite a
difference from the seventeen cent
rate prevailing before the new sched-
ule cane into force. The wool grow
ers are not selling their sheep either.
GAIL these little differences and
stories bear explanation, and as truth
often comes with leaden heel, we
must wait until experience destroys
tariff fictions There is bound to be
reaction.
The Mckinley bill reduced wages
everywhere in my section, and re-
duced them in shreds at that.
Throughout the Harrison admins
tration and while the Reed Congress
was piling up deficiencies for the
present Congress to meet and paral-
yzing the $l1O,OO0,000 surplus left
in the treasury from Cleveland's first
term, iron and steel workers suffered
reductions in wages never known be.
fore, and it is all nonsense to keer
up the existing agitations.
81 am content to wait. Tariff re-
form will come in much better shape
than what we shall have under the
new bill. There may be setback
this year, but the bottom will drof
out from all false claims in the cam
paign of 1896"

A Postmaster's Peculiar Pumpkin

Postmaster w L. Stewart of
Point Marion has a curiosity in the
form of a pumpkin. 1t is fair
sized pumpkin, but at the blossom
end it has the appearance Of having
been cut off and a different kind of
pumpkin stuck in, but it is just as
it grew. 1t is of beautiful golden
color, except the part in the blossom
end which is white, and the whole
pumpkin is very solid and plump.
No one about here has ever seen
anything like it, 1t can be seen in
the window of the Point Marion post
office.
