THE COUkTY'S REAL ESTATE
TIE COMMISSIONERS DISPOSED OF
SOME OF IT TUESDAY.
Several City Lots Sold at Public Cutlery.
Improvements Soon to Follow,
Fair Prices Paid.

In accordance with the advertisement
in The News, the county commissioners
sold several of the old court house lots
and the ola Jail lot, last Tuesday, at pub
lie cutlery. A considerable crowd gath
cred at the place of sale, and at times the
bidding was quite spirited.
The old Jail lot, on Lee street. was
knocked off to Mr.. E. A. Zimmerman,
bis bid being 500. This is most de-
slrable lot, and it is understood that
Mr.. Zimmerman intends to erect
handsome residence upon it later on.
Three lots on,the old court house square
were sold, and business houses and of
fees will likely be built upon them. Mr..
A. j. Carver bought the lot fronting
Main street opposite the store occupied
by Mr.. E. B. Bridges. This lot brought
$500.
Mr.. D. r. Stewart bought, for 5000,
the lot that is located just in the rear
of Browns wagon repository and fronts
the avenue that runs between the court
house and the repository. Colonel j. G.
Parks paid 800 for the other vacan: lot
that fronts the same avenue and adjoins
the city hall. Colonel Parks will build
law Office upon it.
The two lots upon which stands the
little brick house that was once used as
the offices of the clerk and ordinary
were not sold. Thess will probably oe

While the people of her town we're
feasting and giving thanks last Thursday
a respectable woman in East Wheeling,
w, Va. died of starvation.
The dead woman was found in bed
with scarcely enough clothing to cover
her. There was neither food nor fuel in
the house--nothing but two chairs and a
straw bed. Upon investigation it was
found that the woman had eaten moth
ing for days.
The unfortunate had moved to East
Wheeling from another town and had
been unable secure employment Pei
haps she was too proud to beg, or 1t may
be that she was unsuccessful. AT any
rate she died of starvation in this land OF
plenty, and thanksgiving sun dawneo
upon a pauper's corpse ready for the
potter's field.
It's discreditable to our civilization
that people who are willing to work for
their bread sometimes meet with such
fate.

HOKE FAILED TO GO
And the Special Train Didn't Run. Jesse
Walters Was There.

And the Special Train Didn't Run. Jesse
Walters Was There.
From the Albany Herald.
1t might be misrepresentation of Sec
rotary Hoke Smith to say that he had
made second appointment to Ispeak at
Arlington and failed to meet it, but it is
certainly true that he was expected at
Arlington yesterday morning and that he
failed to put in appearance.
Mr.. Smiths first appointment to speak
at Arlington was made for the Goth of
October, and arrangements were made
and the fact duly announced that a spe-
cial train would be run sout of Albany
and reduced rate given to Arlington on
that day A dayton two before the APP
pointed time, however, an order came to
the railroad people at Albany revoking
the order for the special train, and in the
some connection it was announced that
Mr.. Smith had to returnl to Washington
and would not be able to meet his ap-
pOlnCment at Arlington.
With reference to yesterdays appoint
ment the Herald learned during the ear
ly part of last week that an order had
been received for special train to be
run for Mr. NTH, and, in the same con-
necton, it was understood that Mr..
Smith had made a second appointment
to speak at Arlington and that he would
arrive in Albany on Friday night and
proceed to Arlington by special train
yesterday morning.
Friday morning Hon. W. Walters of
this city received telegram from Ar
lington asking him to go there and ask
for division of time with Mr.. S NTH.
Mr.. Walters went to Arlington on the
regular train on Friday afternoon, saying
he would come back on Choke Smiths
tram" yesterday afternoon, provided he
would be allowed to ride on it.
But Mr.. Smith didn't come, and "B oke
Mr.. Walters came back home on the
regular train yesterday.
Now, it may be that Mr.. Smith had
really made no positive appointment to
60 to Arlington yesterday, but that an
order went out with reference to a spe>
cial train for him is certain, and it may
be that the impression that he was to
speak at Arlington on yesterday origi-
mated from that source.

From the Chicago Record.
A gentleman who has lived in Con.
Stantinople says
Tie ha1em of the present SULTAN IS a
museum Of living pictures, fine collec-
uon OF every nationality, regular fair
OF the fair sex. He has over 800 wives
and concnbines, besides Lumber of fe-
male servants and piayma'es. All are
entrusted TO the care of the ago, the
chief eunuch. Tin the book of Esther is
termed the Heiga,) The only legitimate
wife is she who marries him first. Those
who come afterwards are merely concu-
Dimes and favorites. The advantage and
superiority of the first wife lie only in
the fact that her children are recognized
as fit for the throne; otherwise she is
subjected to the regular harem disci-
pine, like the rest. More often than
not the sultan pays greater attention to
one OF his favorites than to her. r1But
those favors are as changeable as the
weather. Today it is Zuleika, tomorrow
it is Fatima The harem gets every
year an additional living ornament, do
mated by the nation, through strange
religious custom.
"Ramadan is the period of the year
corresponding to the CHRISTIAN Lent,
and during that month the Moslem alb
stain from food, drinking, and even from
smoking, devoting himself to fasting
and religious exercises. At the end of
the ramadan the Moslem world celebrates
the three days feast known as the "Ker>
ban Betram' (the sacrifice of Abraham).
The first night of that great feast an il
Elimination takes place and the nation
donates to the sultan gift as token
of lOyalty--a tribute in the SHAPED of a
handsome virgin. SO itgoes on year at

by western women as very mOuotonous,
but to these Orientals, who are brought
up from infancy in it's seclusion and iso-
lation, it has plenty of variety. There is
plenty of music and dancing, sweet can
dies, cakes and pies, aromatic coffee to
sip, and fine stories to listen to. Besides,
there prevails an ambition among the in
mates which keeps them all the time in
a certain activity; the ambition to app
pear handsomer than their rivals. Nhat
becomes of these hours? They also
serve a state purpose. The sultan, in
his generosity when he decorates high
official as token of recognition for his
services, often adds living picture from
the royal harem,n

ADuel on Horseback.

Two farmers living near Wetappo,
Fla, fought a duel on horseback with
Winchesters few days ago, and one
man was killed and 1.-THE other seriously
wounded by two bullets. The men had
ouarreled and each man had sworn that
he would kill the other on sight. They
happened to meet one day last week on
the highways, both being mounted, and
both having theil rifles. They opened
fire on seeing each other, and three shots
ware fired on each. One man, George
Phillips, received all three Of his oppo'
nent's bullets, the third penetrating his
brain and killing him instantly. The
other man, j. s. McLain, was hit by two
bullets, and fell unconscious from his
horse as his adversary dropped off dead.
The dead man was married only month

What the Republicans win DO.

Congressman Joseph g. Cannon of Hi
nois, one of the picturesque characters OF
the new congress, aud leader of his
party, has in characteristic manre'
expressed his opinion as to what the SEES

puts it: "There'll be lot of fiddlin' an
talkin' an resoIutin' an investigator
an bluffn' an maxim faces, an
playing buncombe an firm the popular
heart, but when we get through we'll
find we have not done blamed thing
but pass the appropriation bills An
the quicker we do that an go home the
better it will be for the republican par
ty." The chances are that his estimate
is about correct.

MUST PAY The FULL POLICY
THE NEW INSURANCE LAW AND
IT'S OPERATION.
The Fire Underwriters Very Much Dis
satisfied With 1t, and Say an Increase
in Rates Nav Follow.

The new insurance law passed by the
legislature and signed by the governor is
of general interest to property owners in
Dawson, as well as to insurance un0er-
writer's. he law, as has been stated,
requires the companies to pay the full
amount of the policies in case OF the to-
tai destruction of the property. On this
account it is known as the valued policy
law.
The effort 10 pass such law has been
made at every session of the legislature
for the last several years, but it was not
successful until this year. The new law
is entitled ian act to compel insurance
companies to pay the full amount of loss
sustained upon property covered by pol
cies of insurance up to the amount ex-
pressed in the policy, Notwithstanding
any stipulations of such policies to the
contrary.
The fire underwriters are very much
dissatisfied with the law, and say that
increased insurance rates are almost sure
to follow.
