Hon. Stuart F. Reed, the popular
President of the West Virginia Press
Association, is spoken of in connec-
ton with the Republican nomination
for Governor of this State. OF
course this would be only an en- PITY
honor, but if it were possible that
any Republican could be chosen to
occupy the gubernatorial chair in
West Virginia, then Senator Reed
would come under our hearty appro-
baton for the nomination of his
party.

Arrangements have been completed
for the proposed trip of the West
Virginia editors to Atlanta, Ca
They will meet at the Ebbett House,
Washington, d. c., October 30, at
which date the journey from that
city will be commenced. Each
member of the Association and his
wife, or other member of his family,
will receive free transportation from
Washington to Atlanta and return,
and in most cases from their respec-
tive places of abode to Washington.
The railroads have been very liberal
and its is expected that large num-
will go upon this delightful sojourn.
The Republicans of the second
District are becoming very much
concerned as to whether Postmaster
General Wilson will be candidate
for Congress again. There are large
numbers of Democrats who desire to
see Mr.. Wilson redeem his district,
as they have not the slig htest doubt
he can. AS to what he thinks about
the matter we are not informed, but
whether he becomes candidate or
no, Democrat will succeed Mr..
Dayton. Among others Col. John
T. McGraw, of Grafton, is spoken
of, and if Mr.. Wilson will not accept
the nomination Col. McGraw will
master large following in the next
Convention. Y

DAUGHTERS OF THE coNFEDERAcY.
The famous band of women who
are known throughout the land I'M
der the name of the Daughters of
the Revolutions" are to have a rival
in the Daughters of the Confeder-
acy," which will hold its first large
meeting on November 8, at Atlanta,
Ga. This new project has been agi-
tated for some time in the South but
took its birth short while ago in the
city OF Mas hville, which now claims
the parent chapter of the society.
For some time the Tennessee chapter
was the only one, but the rest of the
States have taken up the idea, and
all over the South there are divisions
being formed, meetings held and
these chapters being affiliated to the
mother branch. Texas, MARYLAND.
North Carolina, Georgia, South Car
DINA, Tennessee and Virginia have
been foremost in the work, but in
the other States the society is also
growing.
The object of this organization is
to gather together all the women
whose fathers, brothers, husbands or
grandfathers bore a gun in the Lost
Cause. These are eligible, and those
who contributed by works such as
hospital nursing have also right to
enter the society. 1t is expected that
before many months are gone many
women in the South will be enrolled
and form mighty army far outnum-
bering the membership of the daugll-
] tiers of the revolution.

l had exhausted the stock, and myself,
and wasted about an hour. Then she pull
ed piece of ribbon out of her pocket and
said:
Can you give me something In this
shade?"
Il couldn't, anu was glad of it,
"But when the men want to buy ribbon
1t is easy. They don't enjoy looking over
piles Of boxes to find a piece to match
the slip their wives have given them, but
get down to business right away. Oh
L wish nobody but men bought ribbon"
The manager was again dra wing near,
and as both the girls had expressed an
opinion, the reporter got in the elevator
and was carried to the department wherein
are displayed the thousands of things that
gladden. the hearts of the very young, and
make pandemonium of home. There mos
of the clerks were uDinteresting males, but
there were two or three young ladies who
had very pronounced ideas in regard to
Christmas shoppers.
Il hope" said one, "tha the new woman,
if she ever gets here, will know more about
buying to ysfor children than women ndonow.
They forget what articles amused them
or their playma tes in years gone by, and it is
really painful to see them try to make up
their minds what to purchase.
"They will hunt through mazes Of toys,
examine and price hundreds of articles and
wind up by buying doll II it is for a
girl or a locomotive or sled II for a boy.
Most parents seem to have no idea of what
will amuse their children; themen are nearly
as bad as the women in this respect. The
poor girls In the toy department have a
hard time. All we can look forward to
is the day when we can buy toys ourselves"
This last was said with a big sigh, and the
reporter very hurriedly said goodbye.

REMARKABLE RELIC.
A Hickory Nut Which Has Somewhat
of History.


Miss Mary ]. Hook of Roswell, Ga, is in
possession of the Oldest hickory nut in the
orld. This ancient and curious family
relic was presented to Miss Hook twenty
five years ago by her great aunt, Mrs. John
McDavid of Cherokee county.
The hickory nut is about the size of a
common walnut, the surface is highly pol
ished, and is beautifully and artistically
engraved.
The carving is too delicate for the naked
eye, but with the aid of glass every OBJ
ject is made perfect and shows the tout ch
of an artists hand. On one side. or rather
between the seams, appears a tree. repre-
senting the hickory tree, under which the
initials Nv. K" and the date "1731r are
plainly visible. The letters are initials of
Miss Hooks grandfather, Will
lam h endrick. who lived n the James river
in Virginia and who did the engraving. In
the next space lisa fox standing under some
bushes of beautiful foliage, with wild
bog in the background.
Next, an ostrich standing erect, and be
meath are the letters 20. E." which prob
ably indicated that Mr.. Kendrick was q
civil engineer. On the next space is an eagle
with outstretched wings and talons, as IL
Just alightiug. The fifth and last is squIr-
rel holding nut to its mouth with its fore
feet.
All of the pictures are perfectly plain, but
TO observe the scenery and make 1t more
effective glass is necessary. 1t Is re-
markable family relic and is well preserved,
although 1t is 164 years old.

| cousin. Not infrequenuy, too, he is an
| element of danger, for when a man perched
| crane-like on top of pair of stilts six or
| seven feet high gets on a crowded street, his
movements are liable to be rather uncer-
| tain.
Oflate advertising in this way la S become
SO common that number of people have

/ fectual DISCUSSES, and they can parade all

by Some one who might be sensitive on the
| subject.
PICKING OVER DUMPS.
Perhaps the poorest and sometimes the
most wretched people in big cities are those
men and women mostly colorcd or for
| eigners, who make their living by picking
| over public dumps where the refuse of the
| city Is thrown. Their homes are squalid
novels, often near the dump. in damp and
| marshy places, and they are rarely free
from some form of disease. Soap with
cold water bath very rarely comes their
| way.
There are dozens OF both sexes In Washing
ton who make their livings in this way.
At the dumps along Rock Creek a pd the flats
they can be found daily, each one working
on certain portion Of the big piles of
refuse. All rags, paper, metal of any kind,
and bits OF wood and coal are carefully
laid aside, for each possesses its intrinsic
value, and the smallest fraction of a cent
is never lost sight of by the dump pickers
They mark out their territory as a miner
would his claim, and woe to any one who
trespasses, for all will unite against him
or her as against a common enemy.
No favors are shown to the weaker sex,
and in this one way of making q living,
at least, woman stands on an equality
with man. Their earnings vary accord
ing to luck, but their existence is from
hand to mouth no matter what luck brings
to them, and their condition never i'm
proves.
THE oMNIPRESENT FAKIR.
The man whom all men, women and chill
dreD are familiar with in some form or
another is the street fakir. He is omni-
present, and generally fraud of the deep
est dye. He may be selling entmedicine,
soap, 3ewelry, tooth powder, razor paste
or freckle lotion, but whatever his stock
in trade, his strident voice and never-fail-
ing "galr' are always with him.
If the fakir can get hold of some novelty
and Introduce it in q city his pathway,
for while, will be strewD with roses, SO
to speak. 1t is always the aim of these
versatile gentlemen to get hold Of some
thing that has never before been "faked''
and get exclusive right to work certain
territory. Then their earnings, or, more
properly, their winnings, are large. AS
O rule, however, whether they are handling
novelties or not, they make a pretty good
living, the soap man leading the others.
Another class OF wage-earners familiar to
all are the ragged little urchins, black and
White, who sweep off street crossings
The morning times., 1895-12-22

There was an ominous sparkle in the
brown eyes of the next girl addressed, and
1t afterward transpred that she had just
had a lively quarrel with the cloak model
Her companion intimated that it would be
a shame to print what she said about shop
girls, but fairness demanded 1t.
l"Well, just wish had cloak to buy.
I'd come right here to get it, and 1t would
take half a day to fit me. If 1 had lots
of money I'd shop all the time, and I
wouldn't spend hardly anything. I think
some girls are just as mean as they can
be. Is that enough advice?'
1t was enough, and the reporter wended
his way out in the cold. Other stores were
visited, and other girls had all sorts of ex-
periences to tell about, and advice to offer.
The concensus of opinion among shop girls
is that women don't know how to shop: that
men do, and that they wish they weren't
shop girls, anyhow.
So if you are going shopping during these
days of preparation for holiday times, re-
member the advice of the blue eyed maid,
and make things as easy as you can for
the poor shop girl.

New Occupations That Are Apace

Suualid Homes and Empty Cup

All classes of people are driven nowadays
by necessity and human progress to adopt
many strange ways of filling their pockets
and their mouths. New occupations, the
result of modern demands of civilization,
are turning up every day, and those who
long ago adopted novel methods are still
struggling along, living from hand to
mouth. Especially in the big cities are
the different ways of making bare and
Cheerless living numerous and odd.
familiar sight to beiatcd pedestrians
along Pennsylvania avenue is The figure
of an old negro, bent and gray, walking
slowly along in the gutter, his eyes fas-

who live in New Yorks tenement houses.

in front of the theaters after the shows are
out. He generally fills his bag before he
goes home, but even at that rate he must
make only a few cents day. His wantsare
not many. however. and will probably not
be long on earth.
A method of earning livlihood that is
distinctly the result of enterprise and push
in the line of business, out of which it grew,
is the human advertisement. Arrayed in
some fantastic garb or mounted on extra
ordinarily high stills to attract attention,
and with the name of the firm or goods he
represents displayed in glowing letters on
his clothes, the human advertisement
stalks along the principal business streets of
the city, constant source of delight to the
small boy and of wonder to the rural

restore peace. Displaying his mace, that
funcdonary rushed first to Cullom and then
to Churchwell, vibrating eXcitedly between
the two and making frantic efforts TO sec
ond the Speakers demand for a cessation of
the hostile demonstrations.
Order was finally restored, Mr.. Cullom
taking his seat and Mr.. Churchwell retir-
ing to the lobby.
The sergeant-at-arms and his sacred
badge OF authority have been usually po-
tent In quelling a Congressional row, but
there have been occasions when that officer
might well have sought safety in the cloak
room, leaving the fight to adjust its own
equilibrium. Inkstands have not been the
most dangerous weapons brought into requi-
sition. nor spittoons, for that matter. Men
very much younger than the oldest inhabitant
have vivid recollection of the six-shooters
that were brandished more than a score
of times in the House, peace enforcers that
custom indorsed, the code demanded, and
that law was powerless TO expel from the
hin DOCket.
