A WRITER'S SCHEME.
Publisher Was Glad to Go Back to the
Old Contract.

Old Contract.
Writing for the press "on space" that
is, by the page, column or line, has
given rise to many expedients to all
space with as little effort us possible.
Many followers of this occupation have
shown great ingenuity III getting az
large an account of white paper as pos
sible to their credit by making fire.
quent paragraphs i'm their coy" says
the Washington Post A French author
who was once employed to contribute
to continued story to newspaper,
and who was paid for his work by the
line, was in the habit of introducing
very frequently such passages as this
into his story:
Have you seen him?"
81 have" -.
Nor
YES"
"where?"
Here"
"When?"
To-day"
"Then he lives?"
"iIe does"
"Ahw
The publisher at length rebelled at
what he regarded as an attempt to
make money out of him by sharp prac-
tlces. He sent for the writer and said:
81 must have "A new contract. We
will pay you hereafter by the letter and
not by the line"
But my contract says that I'm to
be paid by the line"
Yes, but your contract does not say
that | shall not end the story when /
please. If you do not consent / shall
put the words The End at the close
of your next installment of your story,
and print no more of it."
The author pondered a minute.
Very WELL" said he, Il will take my
pay hereafter by the letter, provided
you let the story run on until / have
quite finished it,"
1T is agreed" said the publisher
When the publisher came to read the
next instalment of the story he found
that the author had introduced two
new characters, who stammered dread
fully, and whose talk ran after this
manner:
"C-c-c-c-c-can you not b-b-b- break
the d-d-d-dreadful news g-g-g-gently
TO our m-m m -m-m- m m -master?"
'N-n-n-n n-n-ne-e-e-e-e-e-ever G-g-
Ggaston," murmured the grief-stricken
Valentine, II should r-r-r-r-rather BIB
b-b-b-burst upon him s-s-s-s-s-sudden-
ly witl the an-n-n-n-n-n-nou-o ou- ounce
men, and not prolong his s-s-s-s-suffer-
ings with s-p-p-p-pe-e-e-nsev
The Mortified publisher saw before
him in this sort of a dialogue the pos
sibility of the indefinite continuance Of
story paid for by the letter. which
was little less than a dreadful and ter
ribiy costly alphabetical procession. He
sent for the author and restored the old
arrangement.
AS soon as the author again began
to collect his pay by the line poor stut-
tering CASTOR and Valentine We're over
taken by an untimely fate, and the
short paragraphs We're resumed.

A New Teacher for Shepherd College.


Considerable surprise was manifest
ed here on Saturday by the knowledge
that the Board of Regents of the Nor
NAL Schools had removed Miss Pearl
Hosie from her position as teacher in
Shepherd College. When the board
was here a week ago there was no In
timation whatever that any change
would be made-on the contrary it
was stated that the work of the faculty
was in every way satisfactory, and
Miss Hosie received assurance from at
least one member of the board that it
was particularly desired that she
should remain. The principal and
other members of the faculty, as well
as the friends of the school generally
in the community, earnestly desired
that no change should be made in the
teaching force, as the work of the col
lege was being particularly well done.
Miss Hosie has had the entire cent?
dence and the highest regard of her
fellow teachers and of the pupils of
the school for the faithful and consci-
entious performance Of her duties,
while all our people testify to the good
influence she has exerted in the COM
munity. Earnest and enthusiastic in
her work, she devoted all her time to
the service of the school, and her abil-
ity was shown in the progress OF the
pupils.
We do not know what reasons the
board had for making the change, and
it may be unfair to criticise them with
out this knowledge. 1t may not be
amiss to say, however, that there is
considerable feeling here over the af-
fair, and it looks to our people as if
faithful, efficient, painstaking service
counts for very little with this nom
partisan board of our remarkable Gov
ernor
Miss McConn, who is unknown to
our people, has been appointed to Miss
Hosie's place.

A Condemned Bridge.

The big iron bridge of the Norfolk
& Western Railroad across the Shen-
andoah river at Riverton, Va, was
discovered to be in such a condition
Monday evening as to make it unsafe
for trains to cross it. The condition
of the bridge was discovered by the
painters who had gone to work at paint
ing it. They found that number of
the large iron bars in the main trusses
were broken, and that some of the iron
posts had pulled out of place. The
south-bound accommodation crossed
over in safety, and passenger train No.
4 got TO Riverton about the time the
condition of the bridge was made
known. The engineer offered to pull
across with the train, but the passen-
gers were not anxious to make the ex-
pertinent, so the train was held up:
The bridge inspector was sent for,
and as soon as he examined the struc-
ture he decided that it would be IN
safe for trains to cross it. A big force
of men were Immediately put to work
to build up wooden trestle under
two of the spans, and by Wednesday
morning trains could again cross the
bridge. In the meantime the passsn-
gers and mails were transferred, involv-
ing great delay. Those who were on
the train Monday night did not get
away until six o'clock next morning.
1t is very fortunate that the condi-
ton of the bridge was discovered be-
fore a disaster resulted, for from all
reports it was in very bad shape. 1t
looks as ifthe bridge inspector doesn't
inspect very closely.

A Big Blaze In Maryland.

Soon after dark Monday evening a
big light east of Shepherdstown showed
that there was an extensive confagra-
ton not far from here in Maryland.
Next morning it was found that the
large clearinghouse on the peach farm
of Pry and Hughes, on the mountain
southeast of Sharpsburg, had been en-
tirely destroyed by fire. A carload
of peach baskets had just been placed
in the building, and they too went up
in smoke The building was large
frame one, two stories high, erected
only about year ago. The loss is
about $4,000, on which there is an in
surance of $4,000. The origin Of the
fire is unknown. So fierce were the
flames that a number of peach trees in
the orchard surrounding the building
were destroyed The country for
miles around was brilliantly illumina-
ted.

from the penitentiary Daniel Gore

oner was convicted was entering the
house Of lack T. Fleming and stealing
therefrom a pair of shoes Of the value
of So and pair of socks of the value
