THE week just closed was the last of the
season at the seashore. There will, Of course,
be many visitors during September, but
there will not be the immense crowds that
have hocked thither during the past month
or two. If the weather proves propitious
this month visit to the seaside resorts will
be well repaid, for the several reasons that
the hotels and boarding houses will be less
crowded and the temperature not likely ia
be so oppressive.

ALTOONA, Pa, Sept. 2--Mrs William
f. Cowden formerly Miss Stella Law,
who was married to William E. Cowden,
of this city, in Camden, on Aug. 10, has
taken steps to contest Cowden's applica-
tion for divorce. The young bride denies
the story widely published that her hus-
band is only Is years of age, and that he
was under the influence of drugs when the
ceremony was performed. She says she is
prepared to prove that young Cowden was
most persistent in his attempt TO carry her
off to a clergyman, while her father tried
to prevent him from seeing her. Her hus-
band, she says, is 23 years old.

Germany's Celebration of victory.

BERLIN, Sept at is evident that the
German nation, especially the Berliners,
intend to celebrate the anniversary of the
battle Of Sedan in peaceful but de-
termined manner. The capital presents
such a spectacle as has seldom been seen.
The newspapers all agree that it is a
demonstration to the honor of United Ger
many and not a manifestation of satisfac-
tion at the defeat of the French. The jar
ring tones of the socialists, who We're at
tempting a demonstration of disapproval
of the celebration, find little echo among
the people, and the projected anti-demon-
strations have been abandoned.

H COURT HOUSE.

Next week two petitions will be laid
before the county court-one asking
for court house Improvement; the
other will be in the form of a protest.
The county court is composed of good
men and true, aud they will weigh both
petitions in the balance and act for the
best.
The INTELLIGENCER wants to see the
improvement made. II believes that
tlA county ought TO have better public
buildings, and that as these buildings
belong to the county, the county should
make the repairs. The court house is
not n Lexington institution, and only
Lexington's pro rata of the taxes will
be paid for its improvement. No SEN
sible man will claim that it Is this city's
duty to improve it, and even II hun
dreds OF them did, they would live as
old as Methuselah before they saw the
day when the county buildings are i'm
proved entirely with Lexington capital.
The sentiment OF Lexington is that IL
the taxpayers want to put up with the
inconvenience of the old building IL is
their prerogative. II the citizens out

A G~erDaDfown mother, reading In
the columns of a household journal not
long ago about a novel method of quiet

with a somewhat unexpected result,
says the Philadelphia Record. The
scheme, as laid out in the practical
magazine, consisted Of smearing
numerous bits of raw cotton with mo-
lasses and giving them to the squalling
baby. Theoretically, the child could
then be left to itself for about four
hours, while it was engaged in the in
teresting occupation of removing the
sticky cotton from its hands. Wish
ing to give the apparently feasible plan
a fair trial, the credulous mother pro-
cured n small bale of cotton and n pint
OF molasses, mixed thoroughly, accord
ing to the receipt, and served in n dry
foOtbath. Then she plunged her babes
hands into the mass and vent about
her business. When time was called,
the astonished child toed the scratch
and didn't know whether to laugh or to
cry. About to decide on the latter, it oc-
Cured to the y~oungster that the stuff
smelled good. At this stage of the
game the experimcnter measured 81
inches just below the waist. When the
intelligent mother returned in about
an hour her progeny had disposed Of

In possession of one of the finest resi-

In Eureka and has no use for a home in
Arcata. he decided to move the building
across h bay to Eureka. The con-
tractors set to work. The house was
moved to the marsh land near Arcata
by the usual process of house-moving.

were built. Over this the house was
slowly transported to the waters edge,
where two rock barges, dashed together,
were in waiting to receive the structure.
1t was, after considerable labor, placed
upon the barges, and then a tugboat
took them in tow, and In a few houra
had covered q distance of seven miles
and landed at the foot of j street, in Eu-

out that the only damage noted was a
slight breaking of the plaster. The
