OYSTER FAMINE PREDICTED.

A Dealer Says the Beds Are Sure to BE
Exhausted.
"Oysters will be a very rare delicacy
in a few years." said an oyster man OF
New York to Washington Star report
er. For many years the beds We're
preserved to large extent by having
an oyster season and keeping alive the
popular idea that oysters were not good
except from September to April. This
gave four months during which the
oysters were left alone and allowed t.,
increase. AS a matter of fact, think
they are a little better during those
four months than at any other time.
This was first discovered by the seaside
hotel men, and oysters were served dur
ing the summer months. The guests
demanded bivalves when they re-
turned to their homes, and now in all
eastern cities the signs of Fresh
Oysters are as numerous in July
and August as in January and Febru
airy. The new demand is being sup
piled, and at no time are the beds left
undisturbed. 1t is now only question
of few years before the oysters are
gone, and all because the summer resort
hotel men disabused the minds of the
people as to their not being good to
eat from April to September"

a GENTLEMAN.
Exhibits the True Knightiy spirit--A
Lesson In Courteev.

She was an old German woman. No
one knew where she was going, but evi-
IDENTIFY some distance, for she carried
an enormous bundle wrapped in news
paper and containing her personal eff
fects. Supernatural gifts of second
sight were not necessary to discover
the last fact, for hardly had the old
woman entered the train before the
contents of her package were exhib-
tied to the view of the other travel
ers. Newspapers have their uses, but
ping parcels. The strain and the heat
of the poor old creatures arms had been
too much for it. There was sound
like the outburst Of q long pent-up
sigh, followed by shower of neat but
plain garments of feminine wearing ap-
parel along the aisle, and ripple of
laughter which travelled rapidly down
the car. Everyone was interested. That
newspaper was gone, the contents of
the package were scattered. What was
the owner going to do? She did not
know any better than the other pas
sengers, and it was no laughing mat
ter for her. Just then man, who had
been intently reading his paper, looked
up and took in the situation at q glance.
He arose quietly, put down his paper
and stepped into the aisle. One after
the other he took up the different arti-
cles, rolled them into tight little bun
dies, took his own paper and wrapped
them, neatly in it, TIED together the
broken string and handed the woman
her package in many times better con-
dition than it was before. She was not
diffusive in her thanks, but her graft
tude was shown in her face. "Oh, tank
you, sir; tank you, sir" she said, as
she sat down. smiling happily, her re-
juvenated bundle clasped tightly in her
arms again.

The Hebrew New Year.

This evening begins the Hebrew re-
ligious new year. 1t is the first day of
the seventh month, Jishri, and the first
day of the Hebrew year 5657.
Like all Hebrew feasts, the Hebrew
New Years Day begins in the evening
and it ends twenty-four hours later
The Rosh Hashonoh is one of the most
important of the Hebrew holidays. 1t
is a day of holy convocation, and is
known also as the day of judgment.
On this day. it is recorded by tradition,
the book of judgment is opened and
the Deity begins to consider what the
lot of each person shall be for the next
year. Hence the Hebrews pray piously
and they blow on the rams horn that
their accusers may be confounded.
The temples and synagogues will be
decorated, and the services of the occa-
sion will be especially beautiful

The Danish prince who married one
of Queen Victoria's granddaughters Is
more French and Irish than Danish,
so far as blood goes. The Irish strain
is that of the famous O'Clarys, of Tyr
connen. A hundred years or SO ago,
so the story runs, a member of this
family amassed wealth in Marseilles,
and, dying, left his two daughters hand
come dowries. These were the two
sisters Clary, one of whom afterwards
became Joseph Bonaparte's wife, queen
of Naples. The other married Berna-
dotte, the soldier of Napoleon who be-
came Charles XIV, king of Sweden.
Prince Charles is Bernadotte's great
grandson.

1T is TRUE.
Horses Head Is as Long as Flour
Barrel

a Horses Head Is Long as n Flour
Barrel
1t is probable that at first thought
most persons would be inclined to doubt
the accuracy OF the old saying that d
horses head is as long as -four bar
rel. Flour barrels vary somewhat in
length. Some are made stouter and
shorter, some slender and little high
CT. An average flour barrel is about 30
inches in height.
A man to whom the old saying was
familiar made up his mind the other
day, says the New York Sun, to see for
himself just how, near right it was and
he measured the heads of three horses.
One of these horses was said to have
rather large head for its size; it wasn't
a very big horse. This horses head, ex-
elusive of the ears, measured 2s inches
in length. The heads of the two other
horses, which were horses of fair aver
age size, with average heads, measured,
one, 81 inches, the-other 271a inches.
So that this investigator discovered that
the old saying was substantially true.

CAUGHT UP WITH THE HERD.

Southern Railway Conductors Apt Retort
to an Impatient Passenger.
Southern railroads have a reputation
for slow travel, and in some cases it is
we'll merited. western travelling
man, says Harper's Round Table, max
ing a trip on these lines suffered great
deal of annoyance from this particular
failing, but up to the time of the follow
ing incident he had enjoyed himself i'm
mensely guying the conductors, train
men or any person having to do with
the roads about their rapid transit. He
was travelling one afternoon on an eX-
ceptionally slow train, which came to
a stop every now and then without any
apparent cause. After expressing him
self very audibly to the passengers, he
resigned himself to the inevitable and
dozed off into short maps, which were
interrupted by the sundry jerks of the
sengers showed their annoyance at
these complaints by angry looks. The
last apology had been that the cattle OBJ
structed the track The train had
started again and proceeded about ten
minutes when it halted with jerk. Up
walked the impatient traveller and
petulantly remarked: Dear, dear!
suppose, conductor, this worse than
slow train has struck another herd of
cattle" "Struck another one! Not
much," replied the conductor. We've
simply caught up again with the first
herd we ran into; that's ALL" The trav-
eler subsidized and the conductor was left

JULIUS ANDERSON, of Ironton, life
long Democrat, has gone oyer to Nc
Kinley. A telegram in the Times-Star
is as follows:
"Hon. julius L. Anderson of this
city, one of the most distinguished
Federal court practitioners in Ohio,
who heretofore has always been a lead
ing and prominent figure in Southern
Ohio Democratic circles, has publicly
announced his determination to sup
port Mckinley. His reasons are that
the election of Bryan and the adoption
of free silver would place the country
in such an attitude before civilized
countries that it would bring dishonor
and shame, another reason being the
attack made by the Chicago platform
on the honesty and integrity of the
Supreme court. Mr. Anderson has
taken the stump for Mckinley and de-
livered masterful grafton at Millers-
port, O., Friday night His calls for
engagements are more than he can fill"

Property is the fruit of labor. Prop
erty is desirable, is a positive good in
the world. That some should be rich
shows that others may become rich, and
hence is encouragement TO industry and
enterprise. Let no man who is home
less pull down the house of another, but
let him work diligently and build one
for himself, thus, by example, assuring
that his own shall be safe from violence
when it is built.-Abraham Lincoln. II

Proposition For a Game between the Uni
,versity of Cincinnati and Marietta.

Proposition For Game between the Unf-
versity of Cincinnati and Marietta.
CHILLrcoTHE, September 8. The foot
ball game between the elevens of the
University of Cincinnati and the Mari
eta College at Cincinnati last fall has
left that team with desire to meet
the U. of c. on the gridiron again.
They want to play on neutral ground,
being averse to going to Cincinnati,
and think that the varsity team would
not care to 60 to Marietta. A PROPOSE
ton has therefore been made to the
football management here to have the
game take place on the grounds of
this club. AS this city is midway be-
tween the two. places, and is good
football town, it has been selected as
the place for the game. The PROPOSE
tion is to have the expenses of the tive
elevens paid, to give each of them one
third of the, net receipts, the other
third to go to the team here. ~
The football interests here are under
the care of the Young Mems Club, and
a strong team is being organized here
for the fall games, which will inclnde
two members of last years Ohio State
University eleven and several others
from different colleges. The manage
ment wants the Cincinnati Marietta
game, and every effort will be made to
have it here probably the latter part of
October.

In Memory of Little Walter Lorenz, who

n Memory of Little Walter Lorenz, who
Died September 3rd. 1896.
They placed his little hands so wapen
Ger his pulseless little breast,
For the little one is sleeping
In deaths long and dreamless sleep
Pressed his little eyelids gently
Ger his bright and trusting eyes,
Eyes that closed on earth forever
To open up in paradise
Vain we question why it happened,
How it can be for the best,
Asking why those feet so early
On their journey needed rest
But though hearts are almost broken
With the dull unceasing pain,
And the light of life seems vanished
Never to come back again.
Yet, Oh who would wish to call him
From his home of light above
Who would ask that God had left him
Here to cheer US with his love
Even with our love to guide him,
Would he then have entered heaven
With soul so pure aud white
UNCLE.
