Ogontz seems rather odd name
for young ladies seminary-an and
thereby hangs O somewhat romantic
tale. It will be remembered that the
school occupies what was the beautl'
ful home of Jay Cooke. When Mr..
Cooke was very young man he went
on visit to the very far West and
there formed close friendship with
an Indian chief, Ogontz. The friend
ship never altered through all the
changes of later years, and when Jay
Cooke achieved great wealth and built
his beautiful home on the suburbs of
Philadelphia he called it after his
faithful Indian friend, who visited
him there. At the time OF his visit
cast was taken of the handsome
Ogontz, and to-day his dignlfed,
noble countenance in bronze looks
down upon the girls who fill the
house which bears his name. The
girls have adopted the head in their
seal, it ornaments the Ogontz souve-
mir, and, in fact, it appears in oil
places where it can appropriately be
shown. It seems odd, at the Worlds
Fair. in the charming section which
held the display from this school, to
see the massive, strong head of IN In
dian towering over the work of young
women, but when one knows that it is
the monument of On unusual and
beautiful friendship it falls directly
into drawing. -Philalelphla Press.

Times When the Sun Failed.

The ancient historians mention sev-
eral instances of the sun "going out"
or failing to shine and give forth its
usual amount of heat and light for
periods of time varying in length from
three hours to several months. Ac-
cording to Plutarch the year A B. c.
was one in which the sun was "weak
and pale" for period approximatlng
eleven months.
The Portuguese historians record
"several months of diminished sun
light in the year 934 A. D., and, &C.
cording to Humboldt, this uncanny
period ended with strange and start
ling sky phenomena, such as loud at
mospheric explosions, riffs IN the
vaulted canopy OF the blue above and
in divers other rare and unaccountabIe
freaks" In the year lO91, on Sep
TENDER Doth (See Humboldt's Sos
mos'0, the sun turned suddenly
black and remained SO for three
hours, and did not regain its normal
condition for several days. Accord
ing to the noted Helmnth's foolar
Energy" the days of seeming lnactlT-
ity on the part of the sun (the days
following the sudden blackening of
the great orb were noted for peculiar
greenish tinge, and are marked In Old
Spanish. French and italian records
as "the days of the green sun" Feb
ruary, 1106, A. D., is noted in the an
mails of marvellous phenomena as o
month in which there were several
days that ''tne sun appeared dead and
black, like a great circular clnder
floating in the sky"
"On the last day of February, 1906, "
says Cortvza, an old Spanish writer
on astronomy, astrology and kindred
subjects, "the sun appeared to go
suddenly out, causing darkness over
the country for about six hours. In
1241 the European countries expert
enced another siege OF supernatural
darkness which the superstitious
writer's of that time attributed to
Gods displeasure over the result OF
the great battle of Lcigniz. Atlanta

When a man tempts fate by remind

Peculiar Purpose of a Secret Society.

At Lexington, Ky, q secret society
is being formed which will have for
its object the mating and marrying
of young people. AS yet the officers,
if there be any, cannot be learned,
but it is known that the organization
is to be formed principally of young
married couples. These couples will
select a young man and young lady
supposed to be suited for each other
and in various ways throw them in
each others company. They will be
invited to dine with q certain young
married couple, who will do what they
can toward inclining the unsuspecting
people toward each other. This will
be repeated at the homo of other mem
bers of the club until the young peo-
pie become thoroughly acquainted
with each other, then other methods
will be resorted to, such as telling the
young lady compliments from the
young man and vice versa. In Tas-
we'll County, Virginia, there is So
ciety on this order which has succeed

couples il the neighborhood of the

Sketch Of His Career.

William L. Wilson. of Charleston, W. Va.
was born in Jefferson County, Virginia, May
3,1843; was educated at Charleston Academy
and at Columbian University, District of Co
lumbia, where he was graduated i'll 1860, and
at the University of Virginia. He served in
the Confederate army. For several years
after the war he was professor in Columbian
University; but on the overthrow of the law
yers' test oath in West Virginia resigned and
entered upon the practice Of law at Charles
ton.
He is best known to the country In COLI
nectiOn with his recent tariff work in Con-
gress. He has been a tariff student since he
first entered Congressional life in 1888, but it
was no: until the present Congress that he
became Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee and as such the official leader of
the majority in the House. But at all times
during his twelve years in Congress he has
been relied on by his party as an advocate of
tariff revision.
Prior to his first election to Congress in
1892 he had taken little part in politics, ex.
cept in being deiegateto the Democratic Ma
tiOnai Convention at Cincinnati and subse=
quentiy an ElectOr-at-Large from West Vir-
ginia Early in 1882 he was III 0sen President
of the University of West Virginia
This would have fixed Mr. Wilson's sphere

factions uniting on Mr. Wilson. The cam

going on Judiciary, Appropriations and Ways
and Means.
His experience shortly after the war as
professor of law in Columbian College
equipped hi n for the work on the Judiciary
Committee 1t was in tariff work, however
that Mr.. Wilson found his forte. and he
made an exhaustive study of it. In the four
Congressional eras of recent tariff changes
the Morrison bill, the Mills bill, the Nc
kinley bill and the Wilson bill-lir. Wilson
took leading part. He did much of the
work of constructing the Mills bill, and he
and Representative BreckinridSe started on
a tour OF platform tariff speeches through
out the East in Endorsement of President
Cleveland's tariff revision message.
During the Mills-Crisp contest for the
Speakership Mr.. Wilson cast his lot with Mr..
Mills and when Mr.. Crisp won he designated
Mr.. Springer as Chairman of the Wavs and
Means Committee. When reelected Speak
er, however, Mr.. Crisp named Mr. Wilson
as Chairman of the Ways and Means, and in
this capacity he framed the measure which
was the basis Of the presen: tariff law. He
was defeated for reelection to Congress at
the last election.
Mr.. Wilson has been in poor health for
some time. He married in 1863 a daughter
OF Professor A. j. Huntington, of Columbian
College, and has six children
