Libby Prison TO be Demolished.

The old Libby prison, with which
there are so many associations Of de.
spending spirits and pinched stom-
aehs, was some years ago taken down
from its original site on the James
river and rebuilt in all its grimness
in Chicago. 1t never was itself a
pretty building, and its associations
do not help the fancy to invest il
with any suggestions Of beauty. But
Chicago wanted it, just as she wants
everything thai she thinks will draw
even if it he nothing more than al
tention.
The old prison did not prove the
attraction that was expected The
old soldiers did not 90 around as
numerously as was anticipated to
hunt up the foot by five to six feet
strips Of floor which once constitut
ed their respective couches The
charm, however, did not work To
bring large crowds or much profit 10
the prison exposition management
The ancient Bastile was scarcely no
tieed during the great Worlds Fair.
So now the energetic but disappoinl-
ed city proposes to let it 60. The
land on which it stands is advertised
for rent and it will probably soon be
torn down and be replaced by build
ing more handsome to look at and OF
more festive associations.

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
A Unique Country where the Skies are
almost Never ClOuded, while the
air is Cool and Braeing,
like Perpetual Spring.

AS an anomalous southern resort,
by reason of the fact that there one
may escape summer heat no less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory !, 900 feet in
altitude above sea-level, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at a delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-door eXertion may be undertake
en- without fear of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there 1t is
an ideal land for a summer outing
Its climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, and the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted for
their curative virtues. The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
MonteZuma, is located at these springs.

Turn of the Tide.

Here are the facts that "knock the

ment for the month of June will be
considerable in excess of expendi
lures. The deficit at the end of the
fiscal year, it is believed, will be near
er $45, 100000 than $5O,000,0OO. Fol
the last year of the Mckinley law
the deficiency was $70,000,000. AND
further, the receipts from customs
duties for the closing fiscal year, ter
months of which were under the vii
son tariff, promise to be over $3.50.
600, 900, while the customs receipts
for the preceding year, being the
last Of the Mckinley tariff, were on.
ly 1871, 100000. Here are knock.
down figures. Regard them care
fully:
For the first time in long while
the government revenues for June
under the Wilson law, have passed
the expenditures.
The Treasury deficiency for the
closing fiscal year, under the Wilson
law, will fall below the deficiency for
the last year Of the Mckinley law
$25, 100000.
And thirdly, the customs revenues
for the first year of the Wilson law,
will exceed the revenues for the last
year of the Mckinley law $4,000

These three striking facts over.

SwOre He Would Not Marry the Pretty
School Marin

The school board Of the public
schools at Ravenswaod, Jackson
county, have had considerable troub-
lie for several years in securing lady
teachers who would not resign dur
ing the year to get married, and this
fact led to a good joke being played
on prominent young gentleman Of
that town. The young gentleman
has more than a friendly interest in
one of the pretty teachers who was
an applicant at the recent meeting
of the board for re appointment and
during the meeting Of the board he
went to the school house to further
her interests as far as it laid in his
power. Hon Eph Brown a member
of the bond, and a big hearted man
who loves a joke as well as all lovers.

and gravely informed him that out
OF the 40 applicants the young lady
for whom he was now pleading. and
with whom he had probably plead
before, was the preference Of the
board but stories Of moonlight strolls
and soft chances had reached the ears
of the members and that they could
not afford to again have the year s
work broken by the necessity of get
ting new teacher in the place of
any that should get married, there
fore, if they gave the appointment TO
the lady he must swear that be would

had sent in her resignation and they
would like to know when the date
was set for his marriage. He only
gasped out" Heavens she don't want

EMERYiS CHILDREN.
He Has Twenty-Five and All Doing
Well.

This is no fancy tale, but true
one. 1t is a narrative of Wiliford
Emery and his children.
Mr.. Emery lives over in the beau
tifu) blue grass region of Burnt
house. He is a fine citizen, residing
in prosperous county.
He was born seventy six years
ago and has had varied experience,
He fought through the late war and
made a gallant record. This is all
trivial by the side of that which is
to come. 1t is really marveous-that
which may be truthfully written OF
Wiliford Emery.
His first wife died some years ago
and be is married to the second. a
considerably Younger person than he
is himself.
BY his two wives Mr.. Emery has
twenty five children. OF these, six.
teen are boys The oldest descend
ant is far from youth. The young
est is six weeks of age, a healthy
and growing infant
Is there anybody in this state who
is ahead of Mr.. Emery in this par
ticular?

Provides Superior Equipment.

The Charleston Gazette says:
1--WE have received the catalogue of
the West Virginia University for
1894 50. 1t contains over one hun
dred pages of interesting matter per
tanning to the University and even a
cursory perusal indicates clearly the
high class of work this institution is
now doing and the advantages it of
fers to the youth of the State. Every
West Virginia parent who has chill
dren to educate should consult the
catalogue and examine the courses
of instruction at the State Univer-
sity. The idea is too prevalent that
boys must be sent away for collegiate
training Parents should realize
that our own University now ranks
with the first in the country and that
the young man who obtains his di-
ploma there is as well qualified for
life work as if he had graduated from
almost any of the Northern institu
tons which so many parents are anx-
ious to patronize. In addition to the
excellence of the standard at the
State University, the fact that it is
a home institution and that its stu
dents are taught State history and
given special instruction in State
geology and mineralogy, thus pro
viding them with superior equip
ment for the development of the
States resources, yet scarcely begun,
should specially attract the sons OF
West Virginians.

Let Us Have Peace.
New York Herald Ind.

When the new tariff took effect
last August the business depression
was universal, our foreign commerce
crippled by nearly four years of Nc
Kinleyism and our import trade
from which the customs revenues
of the government is derived was at
its lowest ebb. Much time was need
ed for national convalescence from
this morbid condition And The
Wilson law has not yet had half q
chance to produce the good effects
which it will surely produce. Repub.
lican "protectionists'' may spare
themselves the useless trouble Of
stirring up new tariff war. If the
revenues are deficient next winter
they can be easily increased by slight
notifications of the internal revenue
laws. LET us have peacew

STRIKING POINTS
In the Careers of the Ex- President and
Son.

There are striking points of SINH
larity between James r. Garfield and
his father, the murdered President,
than the fact that he is a candidate
for State Senator from the Portage
Summit district, the same which
elected his father TO that position in
1859 James r. Garfield is % wears
Of age, and has been married year.
When his father was nominated for
the same position his age was the
same, and he had been married to
Lucretia Rudolph for the same
length of time Strangely enough,
the day OF his sons nomination fur
nishes another coincidence, he hav-
ing been chosen as the Republican
nominee on July 2, the anniversary
of the date on which his father was
shot by Guiteau fourteen years ago.
Again, both young Jim" and his
father were graduated from the vii.
liams college When his father was
nominated he was a poor man, but
fortunately the son is web off finan
cially. The nations generosity made
his mother comparatively wealthy.
and the young man married the
dan2 liter of millionaire.
That young Garfield will be elect
Ell to the Senate is unquestioned,
and 1t is expected that from now on
he will play a prominent part in Ohio
politics He is very ambitious, and
while proud Of his fathers name, is
anxious TO make his own famous and
be known to his countrymen other
wise than as the son Of his father
After he has acquired legislative ex
perience in the State Senate, he is
expected to be a candidate for Con
gress from his fathers old district.
This am bition is well known to his
friends, who say that he Is already
laying the wires for his nomination.
The Congressional district is IA
nous one, having been represented
by Giddings and Wade before James
a. Garfield was elected, thirty six
years ago The future President was
very young man at the time and
appeared to be even younger than he
actually was. Old residents remem.
Der that his chief champion, Freder-
lex Williams, was asked if mistake
had not been made in selecting such
a young man but when Garfield had
made few speeches all forgot his
age and he soon became the idol of
his section of the State.

and from the top of this dead branch,
grew the sapling above referred to,

when secured. From the dead stump
to where the growth began on the
dead branch is about 10 inches,
which cuts it off from any nourish.

REV. j. NJ. MECHEM'S SURPRISE.
A Williamsburg Caterers Name Makes
Queer Complications.

Williamsburg has a caterer whose
name furnishes basis for numer-
jokes, just wicked enough to be very
delightful to the inhabitants of the
borough. His name is Conrad Hell,
aud its owner would rather lose his
fire insurance policy than have it
changed Rev DR. J, NJ. Mechem
was the victim Of one joke-an un.
conscious one, however. Soon after
he came to take charge Of the Meth
odist Episcopal church he started to
do some marketing. He inquired OF
one Of Wilkinsburg's most staid and
reputable citizens, whom he met ON
the street, where he could buy some
bread 500 to He'll was the reply,
given with polite bow. The good
man was shocked He did not pur,
sue his inquiry He was convinced
that Williamsburg must be desper-
ately wicked place, and so he in
formed one Of his deacons whom he
met soon after. BurgeA-J.-GaH4r
