CHARGE or PLAGIARISM
Brought Against Prominent Jefferson
County Educator.

County Educator.
Special to the Register.
Steubenville, O., January ia pub
lie charge of alleged plagiarism against
a prominent educator of this county
has created quite a sensation here. G.
E. Coleman, principal of the public
schools of Richmond, this county, and
recently a member of the Carrollton
bar read very able paper on "Apper-
ception" before the recent meeting OF
the Jefferson County Teachers Assoc
citation The paper was published in
one of the daily papers, and speedily
brought forth a criticism from Z. Il.
Flanagan, local insurance agent, who
held it to be quite coincidence that
the ideas advanced in the paper were
similar to those expressed in the work
On sycology written by Borden P.
Bovine, and published by Harper Bros.
in 1887. Mr. Coleman came out in a
card in which he denied the existence
of book and author, and this was -
piled to by Mr.. Flanagan, who produced
and left the work in the hands OF the
newspaper in which they have been
carrying on their dispute, and in his
reply he called to attention that SEN
tence after sentence in Coleman's paper
is similar to the Bovine work. To cap
the matter off, another man besides
Flanagan claims to have written Flan-
agan's first criticism Of the paper, but
as he claims to have read the Bovine
work twenty years ago, he is given the
smile.

A HOT FIGHT
Being Waged in the Kentucky Legis-

Commercial Gazettes special from
Frankfort, KY, says:
"Since the nomination of Senator
Blackburn by the Democratic caucus

bitter political fight for election as Sen

The law provides for balloting the

say there will be no joint ballot Tues
day, January 21st, and filibustering

Parkersburg, w. Va, January r.
The excitement over the assault upon
little Lulu Wetherell, Friday night,
Crews with every hours developments
in the brutal affair. The bloodhound
which was brought here last night from
Marietta, although a mere pup, by his
actions and the following of ,he trail OF
the brute which was laid down by those
who seen MIN on the night OF the as
sault, caused no little ripple Of excite
ment. Followed by large crowd OF
excited citizens, the dog led the throng
far out into the suburbs and into
AN OPEN FIELD,
where ne stopped at a shock Of fodder
and was not permitted TO proceed far
ther. The deg was given three trials
and in every trial went over the exact
route to the shock.
The parties, however, did not molest
the shock, and are criticised for their
actions in this by the public, as many
think the wretch who did the brutal
work hid some OF his clothing or articles
which ne stole from the Wetharell
home.
City Detective Mehen is diligently at
work on the case, and Capt. d. W. Hea-
tor, Chief of police, also
HAS SEVERAL CLUES
which are very plausible and which may
lead TO the capture Of the wretch soon.
Some CT ParkerSburg's best citizens
were out last night and composed a
body which, had the cOwardly brute
been captured would have meted out
swift justice TO the villain who, it is
now pre5ty certain, has committed all
the crimes Of a similar nature which
] have occurred here Of late, and many
are of the opinion that when he is ap-
pretended the murder of Mrs. Mary
Mullen
WILL BE EXPLAINED.
The actions of the bloodhound lact
night caused the arrest OF a negro who
lived in the suburbs, by the name Of
I Easley. young man, who resides with
his parents near where the dog led the
! throng of eager captors.
A very peculiar thing about all the
assaults. however, is the fact that in
every case they have been committed
previous to each term Of United States
Court he'd here, and this fact led TO the
arrest by Chief Heatcn of a negro
named Davis, who resides near Char
lesion. He. however. proved to the sat-
isfaction Of the officers his whereabouts
on the night the crime was committed
and
WAS SET FREE.
Davis, however, answered closely 10 the
description Of the assailant, and the lit
tie WethereH girl almost declared him
to be the man, but finally said he was
not.
The owner of the bloodhounds at In
dianapolis informed the authorities
here that ittwOuld be Of little use TO
bring his team OF dogs here, as by the
time they arrived the trail would be
cold and it would not be likely the
dogs would be of any use.
The city is in fever Of excitement.
especially in the vicinity where all the
assaults have been committed. and
should the wretch be identified to GER
tainty. it Is quite probable an attempt
at lynching would be made.

over the new bridge as soon as II Is
completed.
The new bridge will be 1,240 feet In
length, and 46 feet In width. Besides
two sets of car tracks, there will be two
carriages and two footways. The new
bridge will be a steel arch free from
cables. This method Of construction
is more firm than the suspension, so
that the new bridge will not sway In
the wind as does the present structure.
The accompanying picture, from
drawing in the Buffalo Express, shows
the new bridge as it will appear from
the Canadian side. The bridge will not
be ready for travel before next fall,
but 1t is expected that the old bridge
will be kept in use until the new one
Is finished.
A project is on foot to unite the yari-

ever been seen. hence no complaints
have been made ut police headquarters,
but there is but little doubt, IL it were

The Grunt of the PIG.

The continual grunting of the pig
Is of interest as revealing something
OF the conditions of life of his wild an
cestors. A herd of swine scattered in
the long grass or among the brackens
of a European forest would soon lose
sight OF one another. But the grunts of
each would still advertise his presence
TO his neighbors, and so the individual
members Of the herd would not lose
touch with the main body. Then there
are grunts and grunts. II one OF nv

Garner and take photograph to the

1neas IS No NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
Not Even the Labor Day Act Creates One.
Say the Lawyers.


Say the Lawyers.
There would seem 10 be no such thing
In this country as a national holiday.
Lawyers assert that even Labor day,
which was set apart by act Of congress
IN 1894 in such manner as TO lead the
confding layman TO suppose IL at least
to be "a national holiday, is not such
outside Of the District Of Columbia I'M
Lees by state enactment The creation
and regulation Of holidays have been
left entirely to the legislatures Of the
individual states.
The act OF congress concerning Labor
day was approved June 2S. 1894. 1t pro-
vides that the first Monday Of Septem-
Der in each year. being the day cele-
brated and known ms Labor day, is
hereby made legal holiday. to all in
tents and purposes, in the same manner
as Christmas, Jan. /. Feb. %. May 80
and July are now made by law public
holidays"
Clearly the proper construction Of
this statute can be arrived at only by
reference TO the provisions bearing upon
the other holidays named. The act max
ing holidays of Jan. /. July 4, Christ
mas and "any day appointed or recon-
mended by the president Of the United
States as day Of public fast or thanks
giving" was passed in June, 1870, and
was restricted in its effect to the Dis
trict Of Columbia. These days are holt
days In the various states only as they
are made 80 by the various state legis-
latures
The act Of Jan. 81. 1879. makes Feb.
22 legal holiday, and the act Of Aug.
81. 1888, does the same for May 80,
and both are restricted in their applica-
tion to the District OF Columbia. The
act referring to Labor day says nothing
about the District Of Columbia, but it
does say that the first Monday Of Sep
TENDER shall be legal holiday, ito all
intents and purposes. in the same man
ner as Christmas. Jan. /. Feb. 22, May
80 and July are now made by law
public holidays"
The intents and purposes for which
and the manner in which those days arc
made holidays are expressly limited to
the District Of Columbia, and so, by
necessary inference. is the act referring
to Labor day.
The misleading language of the Labor
day act has led to prevalent statement
that the first Monday OF September is a
holiday throughout the United States
by congressional enactment. New Y ork

A ROWING INVENTION.
Walter II. Peets New Device For tho
Coaching OF Crews

Coaching Of Crews
Rowing is now getting down to such
fine point that the introduction Of new
devices toward aiding the coaching are
always OF the greatest importance in
turning out winning crews. Walter b.
Peet, Columbias noted coach. has just
taken out patent for an invention that
he tried ON last years Columbia varsity
that enables the coach to see the posi-
tion of the sliding seat upon the outside
Of the shell. The seat ordinarily is COM
pletely hidden from view. and thus the
amount Of slide it covers, which is of
vital importance in coaching. can only
be approximately determined.
The new device consists Of an indi-
Gator attached to the back of the seat
and reaching over the side Of the she'll.
The indicator, which is black, can be
easily seen when it moves over the
white scale on the outer surface of the
shell. The scale is graduated SO as to
enable the coach to note exactly the po-
sition and various movements Of the
sliding seat. BY means Of this inven-
ton it is very easy to coach crew to a
uniform length of slide. and it is an ac-
curate device to detect the slightest err
ror in regard to the use Of the seats
Peet's invention is Of the greatest inn
portance to rowing from the fact that
the proper use Of the sliding seats in a
shell by the crew has considerable to do
with fast rowing, and in order to teach
crew well the manner Of sliding it is
necessary that the coach shall always
know exactly what the men are doing
with their seats. New York Sun.
