25.-A few days ago complaint
vas made at the Office of prose-
cutting attorney Lazzell, against
William Beals and wife, charg-
ing them with grand larceny.
Before the officers could appre-
bend them they left the State
and went into P Pennsylvania The
prosecuting attorney immediate.
~ made request to Governor
Atkinson, for a requisition on
the Pennsylvania authorities. he
was dumfounded this morning to
learn in letter from Governor
Atkinson that his request could
not be complied with and that
henceforth no acquisitions would
be issued for any fugitives from
the jurisdiction of the States
officials, no matter how grave the
offense committed.
This is because of ruling OF
the auditor that the costs in these
cases cannot be paid out of the
criminal costs fund, but must be
paid outo of the governors civil
contingent fund. The ruling
means that any crime may be
committed in West Virginia and
the offender has only to escape
into another State TO avoid the
penaltias of his offense. because
all of the civil contingent fund is
spent for other purposes almost
as soon as it is available. The
governor adds in his letter that
the ruling will seriously interfere
with the administration Of justice
In the courts, but that it is out OF
his power to remedy it.

General Joseph S. Smith tells
how he used to publish . paper
at Bath, Maine, without the aid
of a press. After setting his
type he placed them on a wash
board and planed or leveled them
down with a plank. Then he
linked them. placed his paper
over them, and over the paper
a blanket, and then called down
the hired Sirl. She weighed 2l0
pounds and by sitting vigorously
on the forms made as clear an
impression as a press could have
done. His circulation was 200

How Raphael Settled HI. B,,l.

Raphael, the great Italian paint
or, whose celebrated Biblical pic
lures are worth fabulous sums Of
money, was not a rich man when
young. He encountered some of the
vicissitudes Of life, like many an
other genius. Once when travelling
he put up at an inn and remained
there unable to get away through
lack of funds to settle his bill. The
landlord grew suspicious that such
was the case, and his requests for
a settlement grew more and more
pressing. Finally young Raphael in
desperation resorted to the follow
ing device:
He carefully painted upon a table
top in his room a number of gold
coins, and placing the table in GER
tain light that gave a startling ef-

and summoned his host.
There" he exclaimed, with a
lordly wave of his hand toward the
table, "is enough to settle my bill
and more. Now kindly show the
way to the door"
The innkeeper, with many smiles
and bows, ushered his guest out,
and then fastened back to gather up
his gold. His rage and CONSERVATION
when he discovered the fraud knew
no bounds, until wealthy English
traveller, recognizing the value of
the art put in the work, gladly paid
him ESQ for the table.-Harper's
