Miss Nettie Conley spent Sunday at

The Mckinley ball at Mrs. r. c. Con-
ley's, November 21st, was grand sue
cess. Politics in Pine Grove took a
very heated aspect during the campaign
and the affair was one of the fruits of
election. The dining room was pro-
fusely decorated with flags, gold bunt-
ing and pictures of Mckinley. The
dancers numbered fifty. All wore
some token appropriate to the occa-
sion and the orchestra played nothing
but Mckinley music. The supper was
of the 100-cent variety and was consid-
erably above the standard of weights
and fneness. 1t included liberal sup
ply of crow for a few Democrats who
had honored the dance. No crime of
'73 was perpetrated, unless it was that
of relieving the boys for campaign
purposes. Corner and Little Hooking
were represented by large and enthusi-
astic delegations. 1t was far past Six
teen to one when the company broke
up, for the time was thoroughly en-
joyed.

HER CURIOSITY WAS SATISFIED.
Met the Idan Who Had Been Solicitous
for Her.

fOr ItCT.
A Vienna paper relates an amusing
incident which occurred to great lady
who had just recovered from long and
severe illness. Seated in her boudoir
she was looking over the cards of con-
dolencc that had been left for her while
ill. Among the names of counts, bar
ons and other aristocratic sympathizers
emblazoned with coronets and coats of
arms, she came across n simple card
with the plain inscriptions: Hermann
Berger"
In vain the lady asked who Hermann
Berger was. None of her servants could
give her any other information than
that the individual was a remarkably
handsome young man. The lady's GU
riosity became excited and she gave or
Gers to admit the stranger if he should
call again.
The order was punctually obeyed,
and on the following day she received
u really charming young man, dressed
in the most exquisite style, who evident
ly appeared greatly embarrassed at
the honor of a tete-a-tete with the still
brilliant though somewhat faded
beauty.
Il can hardly find words" said the
lady, with a blush, "to thank you for
the sympathy which you have mani
Tested for stranger"
II beg your pardon, gracious lady,"
stammered the dandy, shut am the
agent for .Messrs. A. b.. the under
takers!"

wnaI emperor william Eats.

Some curious details are published
about the meals of the German emperor.
William II. is the first king of Prussia
who has ever visited his kitchen.
AT ordinary times the imperial fam
lily have three meals a day. The en-
peror prefers substantial dishes. For
his breakfast he has coffee, tea, eggs,
beefsteaks and veal or mutton outlets;
for lunch, he has soup, different kinds
of meat with vegetables, and roasts
and sweets. The emperor and empress
like to have guests almost regularly
to lunch. Dinner takes place at five
or six o'clock, or, on specially formal
occasions, at seven. This is the most
luxurious and elaborate meal of the
day, and is served on gold and silver
plate. Finally, the emperor has plate
of cold meat shortly before retiring to
rest.

WESLEYAN VS.. MARIETTA.
All Ready for Today's big Game of
Foot Ball.

All Ready for Today's big Game of
Foot Ball.
The indications are now that this
will be an ideal football day and that
the largest crowd in the foot ball his
tory of Marietta will witness the strug-
gle on the gridiron between the Ohio
Wesleyan University boys, of Della
ware, and our own Marietta College
boys.
Men were at work all day Wednes-
day draining and getting the grounds
in shape, and although they will prob
ably be little heavy, still they will be
in fairly good shape.
The Marietta team took its last prac-
tice yesterday afternoon and are now
ready to do their best against their Della
ware opponents. All the team are in
good condition and ready and anxious
to play the game of their lives.
The Delaware eleven came in yester-
day afternoon at 4:45 over the L. & 0.
c. Z. They brought along sixteen
strong and husky men, who are de-
termined to do their utmost to make
the red and black prevail oyer the
navy blue and white. Manager Jones,
of the Delaware's, says that he expects
his team to win.
The visitors are fine looking lot of
fellows and if the blue and white of
Marietta College comes out victorious
it will have clinched for all time a
reputation as one of the fastest teams
in Ohio. Case University, which is
claimed by Cleveland papers to be a
contestant for the State championship,
was easily defeated by the sturdy war
riors from Delaware

Samantha Mann Declines to Trade Jelly
Cake for Cold Buckwheats.
When the children used to go to Pos
sum Walk schoolhouse the dinner hour
was time when they gathered together
and compared the contents of their din
ner baskets and traded with each other.
Two doughnuts for a piece of pie, one
cookie for red apple, etc. Some of
the scholars were children of the poorer
class of tenant farmers and their bas-
kets were not filled with anything like
so appetizing an outfit as the baskets
of the others. Mary Jane Squirting. for
instance, used to come to school with
buckwhea cakes for dinner. They were
Of the large kind, about 16 inches round
nnd a quarter of an inch thick. They
had been buttered thinly while hot, but
the butter would melt quickly and the
cakes would be as cold as tombstones
by the noon hour.
Still, they were the best that Mary
Jane had, and as the spirit of barter
beat in her humble breast she essayed
to exchange a couple of these pieces de
resistance to Samantha Mann for a
slice of jelly cake. Samantha turned
up her snub nose a trife higher and said
in scornful tone:
"Oh, yes; now, Mary Jane Spurlin',
you don't git me to trade any O. my nice
jelly cake fur one O. your ole luther
aprons"
And Mary Jane Squirting never smiled
again.

STOPPING A TRAIN.
Important Discovery That Has just Been
Made irs Europe.


Some important discoveries have lust
been made in Europe, says the New
York Herald
How to stop train when an accident
is impending has long been problem.
Many plans have been suggested, but
almost all have been considered faulty
for the reason that they call for quick
stoppage. In such u case the shock
would be SO great that the carriages
between the engine and the rear of
the train would be smashed to atoms
and their occupants crushed to death.
Evidently, therefore, a gradual stop
page is imperative.
An admirable plan, which enap:es
train to slow down gradually, has re-
Gently been tested at the railroad sta
tion in Dresden. 1t is extremely sim
pie and has been found to work well.
No intricate machinery is required, and
the cost must be small. A track is laid,
the rails of which sink or slope grad
ually into q bed of sand. AS the train
passes over this sand it's wheels meet
with AN ever-increasing resistance,
which soon becomes so great that they
are obliged to stop. The stoppage, how
ever, is so gradual that there is no
rough shock. The greater the swiftness
of the train and the heavier the load
the more immediate is the stoppage.
No damage then is possible either as
regards the train or the passengers.
An experiment which was recently tried
with freight train showed clearly the
usefulness of this very practical anc
