ST. VALENTINES DAY.-Thursday is
st. Valentines Day. Every swain will
take advantage of the dear anniversary
to send or convey in person some token
oflove to his lady fair. st. Valentine $
Day is observed IN honor of st. ValeL-
tinus, bishop, who was decapitated in
27O a. D, during the Claudian persecu-
ton at Rome. The custom of sending
valentines is very ancient one. Some
claim that on this day the birds select
their mates. Certain historians trace
the custom to Roman Lupercalia, Feb
ruary 18th, where similar practices are
observed. Traces of observing St.
Valentines Day have beer detected
among the heather pagans of ancient
Europe. The custom is an ancient one,
and has wilhstood the ravages of time,
and is now, in its civilized garb, one Of
the most enjoyable ofall anniversaries.

from the Maryland shore and report
the ice all the way from to 10 inches
thick. No boats have attempted to
move since Friday except the transfer
tug Beaverton, which has made sew
eral trips between this city and Shep-
herds, but as there had been sus-
pension of freight the barge was not
towed across by the tug. The agents
of the Norfolk steamers in this city say
those steamers will not attempt to run

THE final consent OF Minister
Hatch to fill the diplomatic Office
at Washington. which viii soon
become vacant I'm consequence of
the return of Minister Castle, viii
be received with hearty approval
by the supporters Of the Republic.
The same may be said Of the proba-
bic appointment Of Judge Cooper 10
the highest position in the Cabinet.
Mr.. Hatch's record in the Foreign
Office has proved him TO be pc
cuIiarly fitted for the duties
which he i 10 assume. The only
fear OF the community has been
that he might remain firm in his
refusal to accept the position when
the resignation OF Minister Castle
was received. While ex-Minister
Thurston might be considered the
logical candidate to succeed Mr..
Hatch his intention to remain in
private practice practically takes
him from the list. The selection
of Judge Cooper will undoubtedly
meet with universal approval. Al
though Mr.. Cooper would be enter
ing upon an untried field of action,
his political record has been such |
as to commend him most favorably |
for the position. He is broad |
careful in administration,
thoroughly in sympathy with the
on which this Govern
ment is founded, and furthermore |
loyal to the institutions
of this country and the mainte-
nance of its dignity in the world OF
nations.

The Fort-street Towser attempts
to fasten on the "'Tiser" the opin-
ions of an employee of this paper
who has no connection whatever
with its editorial management. 1t
is still an open question whether
the writer for the Towser was suf-
fering under the influence of a

something. Respect for member

cept the first solution. Surprising

that she had seen that young man

o those VINO are curious TO
know of the merits and origin
of the Aermotor and how in
the fourth year of its existance
it came to turn out many times
as many wind mills as all
others combined, the following
facts will be of interest. They
commenced in a field in which
there had been no improve
ment for Is years, and in which
there seemed no talent or am
bition and none has since been
shown except in the feeble
imitation of their invention.
Before commencing the manu-
facture, exhaustive scientific
Investigations and experiments
we're made by skilled
mechanical engineer, in which
over $500 dynamometric tests
were made on 81 different
forms of wheels, propelled by
artificial and therefore uniform
wind, which settled definitely
many questions relating to the
proper speed of the wheel, the
best form. angle, curvature
and amount of sail surface, the
resistance of air to the rotation,
Instructions before the wheel,
as in the vaneless mill; and
many other more abstruse,
though not less important
questions. They insert in the
casting a gun metal box which
is in itself the best bearing
known. This bearing is made
with a large upright tube
which is filled with machinists'
waste saturated with oil. This
arrangement makes the best
and most lasting method OF
oiling 1t is the one universally
by railroads and in
trunions for cable roads and
wherever constant and
severe usage make frequent
Oiling necessary. Graphite
bearings have long been
known, but in none of these
places are they used, although
railroad men would not hest
tate to incur almost any ex
pense TO avoid the constant
attention which frequent oiling
and hot boxes require. The
graphite bearing in connection
with wind mills has only been
brought out to obviate the nee
essity Of using the fitting
tower. If you want a strong
stiff steel tower, or one that

MURDER OF I MINISTER.
He Was Well Known Among the Baptists
 of This Country.

London, Dee. 20.-The representative of the United Press in Constantinople telegraphs under the date of December 19 that advices have been received from Arabkir stating that the Rev. Sir Az nanjan, widely known among the Bap- lists in the United States, has been murdered and his church burned. The correspondent also says that Moussa Bey, the notorious Kurdish brigand of Btlis, has been captured at Bagdad.
 Five years ago Moussa Bey wounded the Rev. MT. Knapp, an American mis- sionary, for which offence ne was tried m Constantinople, and, despite the over whelming evidence of his guilt, was ac- quilted by a corrupt tribunal. The United States minister and the Ameri- can missionaries in Turkey resented this verdict so strenuously that in defer ence to their feeling of indignation the porte exiled Moussa to Medina, from which place he made his escape short time ago.
