Of YESTERDAYS with he s1ektesf satisfac-
ton, and the Register this morning
most heartily congratnlates the people
upon the result. And in doing this we
beg to give renewed assurances that
this paper stands, as it has always
stoods for the best possible municipal
government, for economy, for the pay
ment of the city's obligations as they
fall due, and for public improvements
of the best sort when they become nee
essary. The Register stood for the
Union Bridge & Terminal Company
loan, and it carried; it stood for the
electric light plant and its loan, and it
carried; it stood for the stone bridge
and its loan, and it carried: it opposed
the Republican loan of 1895, and it
failed: it opposed the new charter, and
it failed, and it opposed the Republican
loan Of 1897, and it failed. In each Of
these matters, as in others, the people
have stood with the Register and
backed it up with their votes, and in
the future. as heretofore, this paper
will continue to be with the people.
We will advocate and support that
which is good, and oppose with all our
power that which is bad, and the peo-
pie will continue to decide, and they
will decide right. They always do.

RAPID RAIL LAYING.

During the past three months the
Maintenance of Way department OF the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
has been very busy laying the new 50
pound steel rails ordered last summer
by the receivers. Eight thousand tons
have been put in the east-bound track
on the third and second divisions and
but four miles remain to be laid on the
latter division. On the Parkersburg
branch 5000 tons have been placed in
the track. There are still about $4,000
tons of rail to be delivered and it will
be laid as rapidly as possible. With
Continued good weather, Chief Engineer
Manning expects to lay rail all the
winter. The track was ballasted and
new tiles put in during the summer, so
that the work progresses very rapidly.

Doors to Mrs Harris.


Doors to Mrs Harris.
Chattanooga, Tenn, November Is
Mrs Harris, female revivalist, has
concluded a revival at Hillsboro, Ala,
a few miles east of CORTLAND, on the
Memphis & Charleston railroad. Large
congregations attended the services,
many from the adjacent country going
fcrty and fifty miles to hear her. The
meeting was commenced in the Metho-
'dist Episcopal church, South, by au-
thority of the board of stewards, but
Rev. Arson West, presiding elder of the
Decatur district, learning CT the use of
this church by female revivalist,
went to Hillsboro and overruled the
action of the board, interrupted the
proceedings and caused considerable
furry by officially closing the doors of
the church to women preachers. The
affair has created excitement among
the Methodists, and it will be taken to
the district conference. Mrs. Harris is
a widow of the late Robert Lee Harris,
a noted evangelist of his timeiin this
State.

Mr.. Charles Coghlan, the great En-
glish actor, who will present his new
play, THE Royal Box" in this city,
next Saturday, December 4th, at the
Opera House, has had remarkable ca
reer, both as playwright and an actor.
He is quite generally conceded to be the
leading Englishspeaking artist of the
world. He is the first actor to appear
before the Queen, at Windsor, by COM
mand, after her more than twenty
years mourning for the Prince Consort,
Albert. About six pears ago the Queen
decided to resume theatrical perform
ances at Windsor, which had been a
feature Of court life during the life-t time
of the Prince Consort, and Mr.. Cogh-
Ian was commanded to present a play
of his own. which he did in his brill
liant comedy, "a Quiet Rubber" Her
Majesty was very much pleased with
it, royal endorsement giving it an i'm
petus in its London run almost unpre-
cedented in English stage history.

Manager Feinler offers an unique at
traction for patrons of his theater on
the last three nights of this week be-
ginning Thursday, when Edison's Pro-
Jectoscope Company will be on the
boards. The Projectoscope is said to be
a more wonderful invention than the
veriscope, and the pictures are more
lifelike and vivid. The views embrace
half hundred popular subjects, includ-
ing two rounds of the famous Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight in Carson City. In
addition to the pictures the entertain
ment will include Illustrated songs by
two famous singers. The entertain
ment promises to be both novel and
pleasing and the engagement here will
no doubt be very successful.

According to the Vienna papers, the
domestic arrangements of the imperial
household of Austria have recently been
subjected to reforms of the most radical
nature. Hitherto, it is stated, the waste
and Encouragement have been gigan-
tic, says the London News. Now, how
ever, many ancient usages-some of
them dating from the time of Maria
Theresa have disappeared forever.
Formerly the servants enjoyed many
perquisites, which amounted to very
considerable sum during the year.
There were "deputaten" or allowances
of wood, wine or venison. Each do
nestle, too, used to receive two large
wax candles daily in summer and three
in winter. In future the "deputaten"
will be abolished and there will be a
vigorously fixed weekly allowance of
candles, which will not err on the side
of extravaganza.
The liveries of the court servants have
also been the subject of reforms. Those
used to remain the property Of the wear
ers when they were changed for n new
outfit. Now, they must be returned to
the superintendent of the household.
In past years the wine consumed by the
servants has amounted to some $4,000
liters year. This, it is estimated, will
i'll future be reduced by two-thirds. The
custom of permitting the servants to
appropriate and sell the remains of all
the household meals and banquets is
also to be done away with. On the oc-
casion Of ceremonial banquets the per
quisites on this head have frequently
amounted to 40 or 80 forms head to
TIE attendants concerned. In future
the remains of all such banquets are
to be purchased en- bloc from the comp
troller by a contractor. In these and
other matters the house Of HapSburg
has determined in future not to despise
domestic economy.

FIGHTING A RATTLEsNAkE.
Idaho Man HaA to Tear the Reptile
from Him.

Bernard Sharkey, owner Of the Cop
per Queen mine, near Salmon, Idaho,
lately had an encounter with a rattle
snake which, for sensational features,
has seldom been equaled in a contest
with reptile, says the Denver Repub-
lican. Mr.. Sharkey was passing along
mountain trail. The footing was un-
certain, and he was holding to bushes,
grass, etc, on the upper side of the trail
with one hand. Intent upon where he
was stepping, he did not notice he had
aroused snake, and had no warning
of impending danger until the rattler
6arted his 'fangs into his hand.
The snake did not release his hold,
but attempted to coil itself around Mr..
Sharkey's arm during the descent.
Gaining his feet, Mr.. Sharkey attempted
to shake the reptile off, but found it
impossible. He then drew his revolver
and shot it. The snake loosened it's
clutch on his hand, but darted at him
again, and sank it's teeth in his leather
coat. Holding to the coat it twined
itself about his body, but with both
hands free Mr.. Sharkey continued to
battle with the better advantage. He
loosened the coils of the snake, got his
foot on its body, and literally tore it
away from his coat, a piece of the
leather being carried away in it's
mouth. He succeeded in killing the
snake, which proved to be six feet in
length, and had 16 rattles.

The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-12-21

through the act of June ~, 1890, not one
received an Injury during the war, and
not one was able to trace any disability
back to service in the war. Their disa-
bility when they had any arose subse-
quent to the war and from absolutely
independent causes. So with tue widows
W no are drawing pensions under that
act. Their husbands died Of diseases and
causes not in any way traceabe to their
war service. But as 10 plain by the rec
ords, on their face, more survivors, are
wing pensions than there are surviv-
ors, and, as everybody knows, thousands
upon thousands OF real veterans counted
among the 727, 600 survivors OF the war
are not dra wing pensions"
Perjury and forgery, the article charges
have been the agents of these wholesale
frauds. 1t concludes with tables showing
among other things that Russia alone, OF
all the great countries of the world, pays
more for her immense standing army
than the United States pays in pensions,
and a summary CT the mass of present
pension bills now pending that threaten

A GOOD IMPROv NMENT.

Since many students come to us for IA
business course, who are not sufficiently
grounded in the ordinary English
branches to ms Ike any thing like the best
possible use of our business training, we
have found it necessary to increase the
scope of our English course, without ad-
ditional cost to the student, and we can
now offer advantages in this direction ex-
celled by no school in the country We
have spared no expense to get an in
structor who, for the past year, has made
our Normal English work browning
success. Those who can pass satisfactory
examinations need not take the English
work; but those who cannot pass the eX-
aminations should not only have but
want the English, because they cannot
have good success without English. This
feature is not Few one; we have only
added to it. j has developed the school;
and now, foi the good of all, we shall
