A striking illustration Of the prelate's
insight is afforded by some data from
the latest publications Of NJ. Barthelot,
the official s.adsdc-an of Paris, on the
foreign populations in European oipi-
tails. lie says that Paris has the larg-

limits Of any European city; and hence
Il IS the most cosmopolitan capital Of
that Continent Yet the aliens resident
there are only rs per cent. or $4,000.
There are also in that city 5000 nat

with the proportions displayed by the

Parkersburg, w. Va, December l.
The we'll on Calf creek purchased from
Messrs. Pope, Higgins & Co., Of Mari
eJ,a, by the Grimes Oil Company, of
Moundsville, for $4,000. has been shap-
ed up and it has been tubed and set
TO pumping. The we'll is now making
forty barrels a day by the gauger's fig
ures Rigs are being erected by the
company on the farms Of S. J. Angus,
John Jones and 3. Johnson, the latter
locations being counted upon rs sure
1g,s on account of their close proximity
to the preacher well.
The McT8ggart Oil Company at a re-
cent meeting appointed A. H. McTag-
CART. VIM. Richardson and c. L. Will
Gams a committee to locate another
wen for the company in the Williams
town field, on the McTaggart farm, and
they expect to go up to-day or to-mor-
row.
The Dotson Bros. had trouble with
the well they are drilling on Spring
creek. Writ county. It caved yesterday,
at 500 feet, catching the tools, and they
now have an ugly fishing job.
BOtt, Story & Thompson, who drilled
the Marsh farm well at SJ2Ck,0wn,
have the contract for another well for
the Murphy Oil Company, on the same
lease.
A we'll has been located at Hebron,
Peasants county. on the farm of L. c.
Shing,eton by Bateman & Watson.
Mr.. L. Spence. Of Martins Ferry, O.,
has secured a mos. valuable lease with
in about three hundred yards Of the
Marsh well near ShacktOwn. This we'll
came in last week and made a good
flow Of OIL and al the time a number
of Parkersburgers went out and Wit
messed the flow of oil from the well.
Since that time The well has been plug
ged and the derrick boarded up and
locked, and big prices are being offered
for leases near by. Even though being
securely plugged, the oil is forcing It's
way through and running outside the
derrick on the ground. Oil men are
coming in from all sections and husc-
ling for leases, and big bonuses are be-
ing offered
The Florence Oil Company has Sc
cured the Racer farm, in the Waverly
field.
Operations will be commenced at once
on the c.. w. Lockhart farm, at Free

cation. which also asked that the Eu-
reka Pipe Line Company be enjoined
from transferring or disDosing Of the
eighth interest in the we'll and leases
which IS claimed by Mccullough. A
bond of $4,000 was required by the
court. 9nd the suit has been fled in
Peasants county. Mccullough claims
that the owners. Messrs. Braden d
M9ckey. agreed several months $50 that
he should take an eighth Interest in
the property, then undeyeloped, and up
to- the time oil was found his rights
we're recognized, but thereafter the par
ties refused to recognize him as a part
ner and informed him CT the fact. He
also states that q settlement Of his
claim at seven thousand dollars was
also suggested by Nassrs. Braden q
Wackev. bu5 he refused TO consider the
proposition and hence the suit.

He Didn't Talk Much, but When He DID
Ho Frightened the Crook.
1t was while Tom Byrnes was super
intendent Of police that one day mid
die aged man walked into a popular
Greenwich street restaurant and called
for broiled beefsteak. Men do that ev-
cry day, but this particular man wore
long hair, which was brushed behind
his ears, and had smooth face, save q
little tuft of chin whisker. He was
dressed in gray suit and carried q car
pet satcheL
There was no question that the man
was from the "rooral destrict," for one
could almost see the hayseed in his un-
shorn locks, and his pockets were appar-
emily bullying with corn husks. The
stranger had no more than seated him
self when we'll dressed, smart looking
young man entered and took seat at
the same table. He also ordered q steak.
In due time they were served. The
countryman went to work industriously
and was soon enjoying his meal Not SO
his vis-a-vis. The young man COM
planned that his meat was tough-tough
as sole leather.
"How's yours, stranger?" he asked.
''Mine's all right" was the reply,
with nasal twang.
But try as he would the young fellow
couldn't induce the other to talk with
him. Finally he said it was a shame to
serve such steak. He declared he be-
lieved the cook had wiped the floor with
it, it was SO full of grit.
The stranger looked up, and fixing a
piercing gray eye on the young man
quietly but significantly remarked:
"H Byrnes knew you were down
here, you would be eating worse steak
than that. "
The young fellow turned pale and
dropped his jaw, also his knife and fork.
His appetite seemed to have suddenly
left him. He called for his check, paid
it and left the restaurant in hurry.

afterward for swindling a man with a

The readers ofthis paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The pEopFietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any ease
that it fails to cure. Send for list of testi-

The strike of the traction Company's
employees was ended on Monday night
by compromise, John Wanamaker act
ing as peace-maker The strikers may
not have gained much, but the strike
served to demonstrate the irrepressible
conflict between the laborer and capitalist
The lack of power of the strike to protect
labor against the encroachments and ell
shaving methods of capital in the hands of
a law-favored few, may eventually con-
vince the myriads of labor that the ballot
is its only hope. 1t is the law after all
tyrannizes over labor. Labor has the
power to place any law OH the statute
books it chooses, and repeal all laws
judged to be unjust and oppressive. A
lack of sense seems to be labor's weakest
point.
