Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-11-25

The czar does not like to be thought
wanting in punctuality-the politeness
of kings. A Paris correspondent learns
that he wishes it to be known that it
was not his fault if he was SO late at the
opera that people began to think of
going away as he entered. The fault
was the want of punctuality of those
who entertained him the same evening
at a grand dinner. He was punctual,
but did not sit down to table until an
hour later. He and the empress were
kept busy holding kind of levee, or
drawing-room, not in the programme.
At dinner the service dragged. The
czar enjoyed most the evening at Ver-
sailles. The rich stateliness of the
grand apartments, the elegance of the
small rooms, the western view from the
mirrors gallery, the dignity of the
chapel enchanted him. The elegance
of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth cen
tury dresses in the pavane and minuet
was so much admired as to be mentioned
in telegram to Empress Dowager, an
authority on such matters.

AFTER the Venezuelan boundary is
carefully riveted down SO that it will
stay in one place, it will be time to
mark out the Alaskan line SO that the
British official can see it without spec
tacles. At present he comes across it,
where there are any valuable mineral
deposits, and levies tax on our miners
before he will allow them to pick up
the gold which lies around on their
own territory. 1t is obvious enough
the frontier, in spots, at least, requires
q more visible and precise definition
than the Boundary Commission has
given to it. We have as yet no oc-
casion to join the VOLTS long howl on
Oonalaska's shore in resentment of any
thing which our neighbors have done,
and probably will not have, but the
line ought to be blazed anew when it
runs through or near territory with
anything valuable on it.-New York
Tribune.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract: II
have no hesitation in recommending
DIR. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
sults were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox-
ysms of coughing would last for hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as If she could not survive them. A
friend recommended DR.. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results"

Fire Chief Alderman recommended
that the Telephone company be re.
quested to give the city another free
telephone to be placed in the residence
of the Chief for use in his official capac-
ity. Upon motion of Moore the Clerk
was instructed to ask for the phone.
Upon motion one of the brick inspec-
tors was ordered sent to the West Side
to inspect sewer work.
Upon motion the Engineer was in.
structed to furnish plat for the open
ing of the stone quarry road.
George Strecker was granted per-
mission to construct sewer in the rear
of his Gilman street property to con-
meet with the Franklin street line.
Mr. Wood requested permission to
withdraw his motion made at the last
meeting to allow the hanging of ad-
yertising curtain the Auditorium. He
stated that the scenic part of the pro-
posed curtain had already been painted
in first-clas style and, as another cur
tain was needed, he asked that it be pur-
chased without advertisements. Bach
man moved to purchase the curtain at
price of 500, whith was vigorously
opposed by Rech on the ground of
economy. The matter was laid over
one week for investigation, Mcclure,
Moore, Price and Rech voting no.
The usual bills were allowed and
Council adjourned.

eLAr BALL,
The College Team Getting in Shape for
Thursdays struggle.

The College Team Getting in Shape for
Thursdays struggle.
The foot ball boys have been doing
good, hard, efficient practice for the
last two afternoons, and, barring acci-
dent, the team should be Id the best OF
shape on Thanksgiving day Certainly
the team is resolved to man to play
fol- blood on that day, and it is safe to
say that should the men equal in play
the resolves of their minds, the
the magnificent season of '96 will end
in blaze of glory and in another vic
tory for the blue and white.
The boys have been taking run
every night from the College grounds
to historic old Camp Tupper, and after
warming themselves up in this way,
haye spent an hour in hard practice
Such practice as they have been having
will surely couut in the great struggle
of Thursday.
The team recongizes that in the
brawny followers of John Wesley, they
have an opponent who will tax them
to the utmost and whom to defeat will
require every particle of grit, muscle
and energy that they are able to put
forth.
Should Marietta win the game she
will have the unrivaled record of a
season without single defeat Should
she win, it means that Marietta Col
lege, second to none in the State of
Ohio in scholarship, will deservedly
take her stand among the leaders Of
pure college athletics in this state.
For such an end the team thinks it
we'll worth their while to make every
endeavor to bring fame to the institu-
tion they represent, and those who are
fortunate enough to witness Thurs
days contest, may be well assured that
they will see game equal to any of
the many matches to be played on that
day.

and the chemical extinguisher the fire,
which was confined to the attic was
quickly extin0uished.

POWER FROM MELTED SNOW.
swiss Towns Utilize the Mountain Streams
for Manufacturing Purposes.

SWfNS TOwn Utilze the mountain streams
for Manufacturing Purposes.
Besides a considerable number of
large water-power installations, Switz.
erland is full Of small power plants,
nearly every town in that land of noun
tains and waterfalls being we'll sup
piled with power from the white COAL"
as the melting snow on the mountain
sides has well been called. When there
are no large streams, says Casters
Magazine, many small ones are i'm
pounded and collected in reservoirs on
the hillsides, and it is rare to find a
place of any size which is not well light
ed by the power of some mountain
stream
At Montreux the electric tramway
gets its power in this way, and from
the old Roman town of Eevey to the
medieval castle of Chillon one may ride
in a trolley car propelled by the power
of an insignificant little stream which
may or may not be noticed when climb
ing up the hillsides just above.
The capabilities of this general utili-
zation Of natural power are beginning
to be understood everywhere, and with
the appreciation of the possibilities of
the best methods of flong-distance trans
mission, the development of many
mountain streams must surely come.
There are innumerable streams which,
while very small, are yet very high, and
these can with comparatively little diff
ticulty be impounded and carried down
many hundreds of feet. thus making up
for their lack of volume by the great
pressure readily obtainable, and, either
by the use of electricity or compressed
air, the power may be transmitted to
many points of application with but
little loss.

Before going into the question, l will
call your attention briefly to the history
of legislation affecting wards in this
munici pality.
The first act was passed by the Ohio
Legislature January Sth, 1925, when
three wards were created, Harmar form
ing the Second, and Marietta the First
and Third Wards, with three Council
men from each ward. This continued
until March 23d, 1887, when Marietta
was separated from Harmar.
On October Goth, 1858, under the New
Constitution of Ohio and the Municipal
Code, Marietta became city of the sec
ond-class, and was divided into three
Wards with two Councilmen from each
ward. This continued until March 4th,
1884, when an ordinance was passed di-
viding Marietta into four wards. On
May l4th, 1890, an ordinance was passed
adding Harmar to Marietta and divid-
ing the West Side into two wards, the

Cabinet Possibilities.

Discussion of Cabinet possibilities"
has by no means abated. 1t is evident
to those who are brought into contact
disposed to make undue haste, and that
he will take his own time for the task
of organizing his Administration.
Major Mckinley realizes fully the mag
nitude of the responsibility and the
labor which confront him, and is in no
wise discouraged by the outlook. He
probably has larger acquaintance
among politicians and business men
than any man who has been called to
the Presidency since the war. His long
experience on the Ways and Means
Committee brought him into contact
with manufacturers, merchants and
importers from many parts of the coun-
try, and his successful public career
has given him an opportunity to esti
mate to a nicely the political, moral
and mental worth of most men who
are prominent in politics in the United
States. The Cabinet is to be built up
around two important positions, that
of Secretary of the Treasury and Secre-
tary of State. When Major Mckinley
has selected men to fill these places he
will have made the real start in the
organization of his Cabinet, and until
these places are filled speculation upon
the less important positions is the
fiimSiest sort of puesswOrk
The Secretary of the Treasury will
doubtless be chosen from the West
That is almost a tradition. Atpresent
Mr.. Hanna may not be eligible to the
Office of Secretary of the Treasury, for
the reason that statute of the United
States makes it impossible for person
engaged in the shipping or importation
of foreign goods to be the incumbent
of that place. Mr.. Hanna, under
strict construction of the law, possibly
may not be eligible, but if he were in
vited to take this place in the Cabinet
and desired to do so, it would be an
easy matter for him to transfer his in
terests indeed if he devoted himself
to the service of the Government he
would probably have to do that but
as yet there is lack of sufficient reason
for the assumption that Mr.. Hanna
wants to be Secretary of the Treasury,
or that Major Mckinley has invited
him to fill this particular place Mr..
Hanna says that he does not wish to
accept public office at the present time
and he is sincere in that statement.
His sense of allegiance and loyalty and
devotion to Major Mckinley, however,
is keen and profound, and it may be
that between this time and the last of
February events will occur which will
cause him to alter his present determi-
nation not to enter the official family
of Major Mckinley.
Mr.. Hanna is aware, if he were not
to go into the Cabinet, or take any ap-
pointment whatsoever, his position be-
fore the country would be one of re-
markable power and distinction, and
many of his friends have urged this
course upon him. He also feels that
his own business interests, which are
of large nature, demand his attention,
and that he ought to give his atten-
tion to them for year or two at least.
So it seems probable that Mr.. Hannas
political future will remain question
OF grave doubt for some weeks.-F. B.

HISTORY or THE ASSOCIATION.
The Virginia Bar Association is really
an offspring Of the Richmond Bar Asso-
citation, as IT was in a meeting OF this
body in 1858 that the late Frank ii. Nc
CURE offered a resolution and started the
movement which resulted shortly after
wards in the formation Of the state asso-
ciatior.
The association was granted n charter
by the Legislature of 1Ss9-'g0. and its first
annual meeting was held at Virginia
Beach. Its objects. as set forth in its
constitution. are 10 cultivate and advance
the science of jurisprudence. TO promote
reform IN the law anu IN JHllcldl DipNt-
durc to facilitate tho administration OF
justice in this State. ana TO uphold ana
elevate the standard of honor. integrity,
and courtesy in the legal profession
The first president Of the association
was William j. Robertson. of Charlottes-
vile, who was succeeded by r. G. II.
Kean, of Lynchburg. Mr.. Kean was in
turn succeeded by Edward c. Burks, OF
Bedford City. Hon. j. Randolph Tucker.
OF Lexington, was the next president ana
he gave place to Robert r. Barton, OF
Winchester. who was succeeded by Judge
Waller r.. Staples, of this city. Charles
NJ. Blackford. of Lynchburg was chosen
TO succeed Judge Staples. and he I'm turn
was succeeded by Mr.. Hughes. All of the
judges of the State are honorary members
Of the association unless they elect TO be
active members.
Every arrangement has been made for
the reception of the lawyers at the Hy-
geia Hotel. and they will all be treated
