Mr.. John G. Stewart, better known
in the Theatrical world as Fatty

Of The Two Johns" Comedy com.

Mr.. Stewart is well and favorably
known throughout the country in
his personation of Philip Johns, one
of the funny fat cousins whose re-
semblance to each other causes so
many ludicrous mistakes and laugh
provoking situations in the greatest
of all laughing successes, THE Two

popular comedy bill with the theat-
rical public, and we are assured that
this season it is being presented big
ger, brighter and stronger than ever
Mr.. Stewart is supported by a
very strong company, who have been
selected with special care as to their
fitness for the various roles which
are assigned them. Among them
whom may be mentioned Miss Mabel
Meredith, the operatic prima donna,
whose wonderful soprano voice has
gained for her world wide reputa
ton. The Star Quartet, who are
without doubt, the kings of harmony,
and many others.

THE WEALTH OF NATIONS.
This Country is the Richest-Franee
Has the Greatest Per Capita Wealth.

The United States is the richest
country in the world, according 20
NJ. G. Francois, the eminent French
statisticiap, who has been making a
careful study of the wealth of 10 oil
the principal nations of the globe,
says the New York World. 1t will
interest penniless people to know
that the calculator estimates the
riches of this country at 3I3 billion
francs, or, reckoning francs to the
dollar, nearly $63,000,000,00o
England is next with 265 billion
francs and France the third in line,
being the possessor of 225 billions.
Germany's fortune is considerably
less-only 161 bilion-and the Rus
sian empire, though far more vast,
is considerably poorer, with but IL
billion.
Three States possess more than 90
billion and less than 100 billion
each Austro Hungary, 50 billion
Spain, GO billion, and Italy 81 bill
lion. The fortunes Of the IL other
countries vary between billion and
"a billion francs.
The actual amount Of money pos
sessed by the various nations bears
but feeble proportion to the above
figures of national wealth. The Bank
of France, for example, is response
BILE for only about 2 billion francs,
or little less than s per cent Of the
total fortune of that country, while
other countries have still less in
their pockets and strong boxes, for
France has the greatest per capita
wealth Of any country in the world.

Good Democratic Prospects.

VIM. F. Harrity, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, saws
he is very hopeful of Democratic sue
cess this fall In an interview he is
quoted as saying:
The recent victory in Indianapo.
lis appears to be giving a great deal
of encouragement to Democrats all
over the country. There is every
reason to believe that MeGil will be
elected Governor of New Jersey, and
that the Democratic ticket in New
York State will be successful. If the
Democrats should be victorious in
these States, and it seems very prob
able that they will be, these victor.
les in connection with constantly in

The Gnyernnr,s Dream
Governor MacCorkle in His Speech
to the West Virginia Editors:


to the West Virginia Editors:
My dreams of the little, bright
beautiful State the editors talk
about, are not the murmuring
streams, the high mountains and the
bright sunshine, They are the coke
ovens, making the hills simmer and
glisten with their green light; of the
contented laborers in the valleys OF
every one Of these magnificent riv-
ers; of the noise of the locomotives
as they transport to all the world
the products of our magnificent
State, of a happy liberty lowing, law
abiding people; peaceful labor max.
ing its living from our West Virgin
ia hills. That is my dream.
My friends, we have everything.
Beneath our cloud kissing noun.
tains are fertile valleys and green
pastures. Within these green pas
lures and fertile valleys are a
liberty loving people, whose men are
energetic, whose women are virtuous
and beautiful. The Almighty in His
Goodness has compounded in the
chasm beneath US, the oils of com
merce, and placed all around us the
dusky gems, waiting but the pick of
the miner. This evening as l talk
to you, the wind sobs and signs
amidst the poughs of a forest
which has never heard the sound of
the woodlands AK or the tones of the
human voice. Beside the murmur-
ing waters of our rivers there is
wealth such as the mines of Califor
MIA have never given; wealth such
as the Lord has given to but few
people, he has vouchsafed to us here
in West Virginia.

They Mistook the Animal.
Shepherdstown Register.

Last Sunday night young gentle
man living below Shepherdstown
called upon two young ladies above
town and the three drove together to
church at Scrabble. AS they were
returning home after service a small
animal was noticed running along.
side the buggy. The young man said
it was dog, but one of the ladies
contended that it was possum.
The driver cut at the animal with
his whip, and Immediately all doubt
as to its identity was dispelled. No
one disputed the proposition that it
was wide awake, healthy skunk.
The occupants of the buggy were
victims of the offensive animal To
such an extent that they were made
sick, and the horse and buggy were
perfumed most beautifully. 1t is
kindness to draw the veil on the
scene when the party arrived at their
respective homes, but they will not
fool with strange ANIMALS in the dark
any more.

sheep Raisers Favor Free Wool.

There is not a housewife in the
land who has not felt by experience
the advantages of the Wilson law in
the reduced cost of s25 per cent on
wooden goods alone, and the Repub-
lican Congress that attempts to re
store the Mckinley duties of 33 per
cent on raw wool and 81 per cent on
wooden fabrics will only evoke ridi-
cule and disgust. The Wilson law
removed the tax one-half on wooden
goods and altogether on raw wool
The compensatory balance in favor
of the wool growers has been so re
markable in better prices and de-
mand as to make even the flock mas
tiers advocates of che new tariff. Re
duced prices to purchasers who use
about $S00,000,000 worth of wooden
goods year, an average of $l2 per
capita for the whole country, cannot
be restored to the Mckinley figures,
and the party that advocates it sim
ply flirts with dissolution.

What English Mechanics Earn.

The New York Sun, ever on the
alert to defend American interests
and national pride, has recently tax

giving the statistics Of wages paid
for manual labor in Great Britain in
trades requiring some degree Of skill,
and its finding is of character that
should satisfy the American artisan
that he is a king compared to his
brother on the other side of the sea.
The statistics referred 10 show that
the average wages paid to every man
was $603 week, or dollar day.
The average for women SO 0S a week,
or 80 cents a day. These are the
averages of the wages of SIG, LOG per-
sons. In Scotland wages are 10 per
cent lesser, while n Ireland they are
from l6 to 20 per cent less
What must our rairoaders think
when they compare the good wages
earned by them in this country with
those paid to British Employer The
Sun finds that in England nearly
two thirds of the locomotive engi-
neers receive only 40 shilliDgs, or $40
week, and over in LOCO less than
30 shillings. In Scotland only one
Twelfth of them get 40 shiilings, while
800 in LOCO get less than 80, which
is strange, for Scotch trains are run
as fast as English and require equal
skill. F.remen get about one half
as much as engineers. Two thirds
of the English guards are paid over
rs shillings, but signal men are paid
much less, two-thirds OF them be
tween 20 and 25 shillings, and one
fifth less than 20 shillings.
The chances of earning over $40 a
week vary with the trades, some
times with no apparent reason. News
paper printers are the best off, as 81
per cent of them attain that sum:
then come the tin-plate workers with
80 per cent; ID per cent Of shipbuild
ers; III per cent of brass and copper
workers, and 10 per cent of coopers
also earn it, But while Is per cent
of the brewers earn 40 shillings, only
| per cent Of the distillefs do. and 4
workers in pig iron obtain that sum
to | worker on railroad ears.
We guess that American wage
earners will not be in any hurry to
organize an exodus to Europe.

THE GOOD WORK GOES ON.
University Alumni at Huntington Form
an Organization.
Huntington Time

There are quite a number of the
graduates of the West Virginia Tn
iversity residing in or near Hunt
ington, and for some time they have
been considering the advisability Ct
banding themselves together in az
organization. Accordingly ON last
Monday evening, at the invitation of
Col. Hodges, number of the UDiver
siGy Alumni met in the parlor of
Marshall College. for the purpose
named. There were present:
Maj. Jas. J. Peterson, class of rs
Mr.. J. NJ. Lee, class of 1878; Col.
Thos. +. Hodges, class os 1881; Mr.,
t. r Shepherd, class of 1886, Miss
Lillian Hackney, and Mr. w. A.
Burdette, class of 1898; Mr.. r L
Hutchinson, Law class OF 1891 ;
Messrs. w R. Thompson, Law class
of 1879 and Geo l. Neal, Law class
Of 1888, were necessarily absent, but
both were enrolled as members.
1t was sometime before the bust
ness of organization could be taken
mp for in such circle it would be
impossible to forego the pleasure OF
reconnting the experiences and re
lating stories of college days, How
ever, proposition was finally made
and enthusiastically adopted that the
oldest one of the alumni present
should be elected President and the
youngest, Secretary.
This placed the former office in
the hands of Maj. j. ]. Peterson,
class of 1875, and the duties of the
latter upon Miss Lillian Hackney,
class of 1898.
A committee Of three consisting
of the Secretary and Messrs. J. NJ
Lee and I. r. Shepherd, was ap-
pointed to inform the University
management of the organization, and
give assurance of the desire of the
association to cooperate in any way
possible with those directly engaged
in building up the University,
We are glad to note this evidence
of interest upon the part of the
alumni in this vicinity in the pros
perity of their alma mater The I'm.

of her sons and daughters in this
section whose names are mentioned
above. We congratulate the Uniyer-

Roy Kramer Killed In n Mine.

On Saturday evening last Roy
Kramer, son of DR.. S. E. b. Kram-
err, of Smithtown, was almost in
stantly killed in the Beechwood
mines. Young Kramer had been en-
ployed there for some time and on
Saturday was just about to leave the
mine with four companions when
without a moments warning the
roof fell in and Roy was caught by
an immense rock and crushed. The
four men who were with him were
unable to move the rock and before
assistance could be procured he was
so badly hurt that he died in few
minutes. Deceased was a model
young man and his death is widely
regretted. The funeral took place
on Monday afternoon and was at
tended by many hundreds of sympa-
thizing friends. The ceremony was
conducted under the auspices of the
Junior Order of which he was an
honored member. Religious services
were held by Rev. Mr.. Smith and
Rev. i. w. Ireland.

An Editor and His Snan.

An editor who died of starvation
after making DR.. Tanner ashamed
of himself, was being escorted to
Heaven by an angel who had been
sent out for that purpose.
MAY l stop at the other place
before we ascend to eternal happi-
ness?"
Easily" said the angel.
So they went below and skirmish-
ed around, taking in the sights. The
angel lost track of the editor, and
went around Hades to hunt him. He
found him sitting by furnace fan
ming himself and gazing with rap
ture upon lot Of people in the fire.
There was sign on the furnace
which said Delinquent subscrib-
ers."
"Come," said the angel, 1--WE must
be going"
You go on, said the editor, I'm
not coming. This is Heaven enough
