Mary Had a Little Ram.

Mollie had q little ram, fleece as black
as a rubber shoe, and everywhere Molie
went he emigrated too He went with
her to church one day-the folks hilarious
grew, to see him walk demurely into Dea-
con Aliens pew. The deacon quickly let
his angry passion rise and gave it an un-
christian kick between the sad brown
eyes. This landed rammy in the aisle,
the deacon followed fast, and raised his
foot again, but oh, his first kick was his
last. For Mr.. Sheep walked back about
a rod, It's said and ere the deacon could
retreat it landed him on his head. The
congregation arose and went for that ere
sheep, but several well-directed butts just
piled them in a heap. Then rushed they
straightway for the door, with curses long

A QUIET DAY.
No New Developments Over at the Buck
eye Factory, Yesterday.

Matters at the Buckeye glass works,
at Martins Ferry, were very quiet all
day yesterday. Nothing new OF any
nature developed during the day, with
the exception OF nonunion man, who
strujk the town and was making his
way to the glass house, along First
street, when he was discovered by some
of the strikers, who proceeded to make
him travel at very fast gait till he was
safely within the factory.
a rumor started It's rounds yesterday
afternoon that there had been a slight
fire in the interior of the glass house in
the mould shop. When one OF the men
working there was questioned as to
whether there was fire, he said: IF
there was | heard nothing Of it except
what saw in an evening paper. l have
been at the glass house all day."
There will be small amount of ware
made to-day to see il everything is in
good working order. The management
think that If they getto working steady
they will be able to get all the men
necessary for the running OF the fac
tory.

AN IMPORTANT BILL
AFFECTING THE INTERESTS OF WHEELING
BUSINESS MEN.
An Act Rspsaling the Law FOrbidding the Giving
Of Preferences in Assignments Has Passed
the Senate and is in the House.

A bill directly and largely affecting
the interests OF Wheeling manufac-
turers, jobbers and business men gen
orally is now pending in the Legisla-
ture and will probably speedily become
law unless immediate and earnest
efforts are made to combat it.
This bill is Senate Bill No. AS, repeal
ing the act Of 1891, now Chap. "A of the
Code, which forbids preferences in 3
deed Of assignment or other insolvent
act. This bill has passed the Senate and
is now in the House, where it may soon
DO put upon its passage.
The act thus sought TO be repealed
was drawn by Col. Robert White, of
this city, in response 10 d very general
demand for law which would prevent
preferences, which were often OF a
fraudulent nature, and put all
creditors upon exactly the same
plane in cases Of insolvency.
the Justice OF such a law promptly
commended itself to the Legislature,
and it was passed and incorporated in
the Code, aRd has since been passed
upOn by the Supreme Court. The es-
sential portion of this law, new sought
to be repealed, reads:
''And every gift, sale, conveyance,
assignment, transfer or charge, made by
an iusolvent debtor 30 trustee, as
signee, or otherwise, giving or attempt
ing TO give, priority or preference TO
a creditor or creditors OF such insolvent
debtor, or which provides or attempts
TO provide for the payment, in whole or
in part, of creditor or creditors OF
such lnsolvent debtor TO the exclusion
or prejudice of other creditors, shall be
void as TO such priority, preference or
payment so made or attempted 10 be
made; and all such gifts, sales, convey
snces, assignments, transfers and
charges shall be deemed void as TO such
priority, preference or payment, and
every such gift, sale, conveyance. as
signment, transfer or charge shall be
deemed, taken and held to be made
for the benefit of all the
creditors OF such debtor except as here
matter provided, and all the estate,
property and assets given, sold, con
veyed, assigned, transferred or charged
as aforesaid, shall be applied upon the
debts and paid TO the creditors OF such
insolyent debtor, pro rata"
The information that bill designed
to repeal this law had been introduced
in the Senate. passed by that body, and
sent TO the House, created a good deal
OF interest among Wheeling business
men, yesterday, and the suggestion
that meeting of the Chamber
Commerce should be called was
made by one business man and
approved oy others. The existing law
mas been uniformly held here to be a
fair and just one, and there have been
a number Of conjectureS as to who the
author of Senate Bill No. As is, and
what the arguments in favor of the
measure are.

IT'S the woggly bird" said the ginko tree.
"Ah, me; alb, me, and woe is me,
IT'S the woggly bird, > said the ginko tree.
Now, what our critical freul com
plans of is that the "Americanized"
doesn't say anything at all about the
gnko tree and the woggly bird, and we
will have TO own that he is right. But
the same critic didn't know that in
Spitzbergen there is fully formed tee

that the "Americauzed" told all about
trees, from this diminutive specimen 10

and EN- braced everything in the bird liz g

A large retail store in Chicago has
placed on the inside OF all its doors, in
such positions as to be seen only by per-
sons going out, signs inscribed: Have
You Forgotten Anything" Many a
customer sees this, thinks a moment,
and goes back to make another pur-
chase. A well-put advertisement asks
the same question while answering
others. thus rendering double service
which as often spares the purse as it
helps the tired memory.

cure deafness and that is by consti-

More recently uve cases OF murder

More recently i've cases OF murder
have been ascribei to this bloodthirsty
superstition. The last case deserves
special notice, rs the murder was COM
mitted within few hundred yards of
the government high road between
Cheara PONCE and Shillong, and about
ten miles from the latter place. the
headquarters of the government OF the
province Of Assam.
The murderers could not be traced,
as the villagers close by dared not
venture to give evidence against them.
from superstitious fear OF mourning
the displeasure of the Thlen. The au.
thorities had, therefore, no other al
formative but to locate body Of puni-
tive police on the suspected village for
q whole year, for whose maintenance
and housing the villagers were taxed
heavily us n warning. There Is one
feature in connection with this super
stition and its attendant murderous
practices, worthy of mention; its vota-
ries believe that the blood of 'dy-
khar" (''foreigner"-thatis other than
