4 ve!l-known Literary man whose
identity may as well be lost in the ficti-
ticus name of Prof. k, but who lives
IL al eastern city, affords his friends no
little amusement by reason of his for
getfulness and the 'wool-gathering"
state OF his mind to have his wits about
him. says the Detroit Free Press. This
failing leads him into doing and say
ing some very funny things.
One day recently he was talking to a
party of his friends, and he said:
DO you know that l have been to the
funeral of four of my old friends within
ten days, and it-well, it rather de-
presses me, you know. Now, on Mon
day, L attended, the funeral of old Mrs.
l., q good soul she was, good soul.
Then on Wednesday l went to the
funeral of another old friend l thought
the world of, and later in the week
went to old Mr.. BIS funeral. Then
| went to Mr.. Ms funeral on-dear
me, dear me, what am talking about?
Mr.. Nj isn't dead yet: but then he's
very low and I'm going to his funeral,
which will make four in very short
time.'
At another time the professor was
al Il reception when he was approached
by a lady who evidently knew him, but
whom he could not remember having
net before. Too kind and polite to ac-
knowledge his ignorance of the lady's
name he said, in his most airnble man
per: "Delighted to see you, delighted:
Is your husband hereY
My husband?" said the lady, soberly.
'My husband is in Heaven"
"Oh, 10 be sure; to be sure said the
professor, with his thoughts far away.
Remember me to him, won't you,

FROM COL. RILEY.
MARIETTA LEADER:

EDITOR MARIETTA LEADER:
1t is gratifying to learn that my
competitor for senatorial honors is
willing to allow the people some voice
in the selection of delegates this year,
but | think it fair to all concerned to
saw that am not aware of any prece-
dent for submitting to the people the
question of their choice between candi-
dates witko out the consent of all the
candidates. will not agree to ask the
people to decide such questions at an
early special election for several
reasons. First, the general election
in November is six months off and
there can be no excuse for haste at
very busy season, especially with far
mers. Second, e special election is
unnecessary when proper action may as
we'll be taken at the primaries to be
held for the selection of delegates to
the county convention. Third, assum-
ing that there would be a reasonably
full vote, IA special election would cost
the people in time as valuable to them
as money several thousand dollars,
beside the expenses of conducting and
certifying such election, which is more
than candidates are allowed under the
law to expend.
My suggestion would be that the
Central committee at the proper time
apportion the number of senatorial
delegates to which our county may be
entitled amongst the several precincts
and provide that the delegates may be
elected at the primaries, and l would
say that every delegate so selected
shall have the unquestioned right to
vote his sentiments, whatever the
result.
If the delegates care to get together
and vote together, it is their business,
but | will not consent to any advising
with the successful cadidate" that may
result in enforcing the unit rule.
That obnoxious rule was abolished
in Republican national politics in the
memorable convention held in Chicago
in 1850. Having assisted in that con-
vention in establishing the rights of
delegates to national conventions, am
consistent in wishing to accord to all
other delegates the same rights.
Yours respectfully,
1OuN H. RILEY

Railway Pooling Bill.

There is likely to be considerable in
terest taken in the railway pooling
bill by the railway labor organizations.
The railway employees seem to under
stand thoroughly the effect that di-
sastrous rate war would have upon
them, and they will probably pursue
the same policy that they did in regard
to the two cent fare bills introduced in
several legislatures last winter. Com
mittees were appointed to appear be-
fore the legislative committees and OBJ
iect to the bills on the ground that
thew would tend to reduce wages
The leaders seem to think that with
out a pooling till, and with no traffic
agreements, the situation would be
even worse than with two cent fare
hills so that much influence for the
massage of the bill will be brought by
railway employees.

TOWNSEND BLOCK
Shows Its Superiority When Placed Under
the Test of the "Rattier'.

the Test OF the "Rattler''.
According to the decision of Council
Tuesday evening samples of the Town
send, Jones, Cisler and Athens paving
blocks were placed in tumbler at
Nye's Foundry Thursday afternoon and
submitted to what is known as the
''rattler" test. Four blocks of each
make were selected by Council and
together with several pieces of pig iron
were placed in the cylinder and for
four hours submitted to test the
severity of which would satisfy the
most exacting. When placed in the
cylinder the brick weighed as follows:
Jones, 5694 pounds.
Clsler, 3s19 pounds.
Athens, S116 pounds.
Townsend, 35l4 pounds.
The test was begun at one o'clock,
suntime, and ended at five. The blocks
being removed from the "rattler' some
surprises were developed. The Town
send Block was found to have best
wlthstood the test, having lost but five
pounds in weight. Jones Block came
next with loss of FIVE and one-half
pounds, Cisler Block next with a loss
of seven and one-fourth pounds, and
last of all came the much vaunted
Athens Block with loss of ten pounds
even. The exact weights after the
test, made and verified by Council We're:
Jones, 81 i pounds.
Cisler, 81 pounds
Athens, 2715 pounds.
Townsend, 3O14 pounds
The specifications require that no
brick shall lose more than twelve per
cent. of it's weight. The above figures
show that Townsend Block lost IA. per
cent, Jones Block ii per cent, Cisler
Block ISIS per cent, Athens Block 2G 6
per cent. Considering the unusual
severity of the test it may be said that
both Jones and Townsend Block came
reasonably near to the specifications
and probably stood the test as we'll as
any payer in general use.
The brick of the various manufac-
turers, must now undergo soaking in
water for As hours to determine their
percentage of absorption.

A MAGNETIC MOUNTAIN.
Almost n Duplicate OF an Arabian
Nights story.


In the Arabian tales q story is told
about a magnetic mountain which at
tracts irresistibly all ships, and when
they come near extracts every particle
of iron from them, even to the nails.
Such q mountain exists in reality, al
though not quite as dangerous in it's
activity as the one mentioned in the
oriental fairy tale. The island of Born
holm, in the Baltic, belonging TO Den
mark, consists almost entirely of mag
nette, and its magnetic influence is
very well known to the navigators of
those waters, and also much feared by
them, not on account of the possibility
OF its extracting the nails from their
ships, but because of its influence on the
magnetic needle, which makes the steer
ing of a ship almost impossible. This
influence is felt even at 4 distance of
miles, and when this island is sighted
all mariners on the Baltic discontinue
steering their course by the needle, but
turn to the well-known lighthouses and
other helps to direct their course. Be-
tween Bornholm and the mainland
there Is bank of rock under water
which is very dangerous to nayigation;
because of it being constantly sub
merged vessels have been frequently
wrecked at that point. The magnetic
Influence of that ore bank is so powerful
that a magnetic needle suspended free

PENSION BUREAU CHANGES.

Commissioner Evans has now sub
stanttally completed the reorganiza-
tion OF his department.
The obnoxious order known as 2?9
which required technical entry by
the magistrate at the end of every
piece of evidence. and order 20G which
prohibited a claimant from enquiring
as to his case of any Congressman cX-
cept the one representing his own dis
trict, were both revoked or April 30th.
Commissioner Evans, in speaking Of
the revocation of these orders, said
both changes were made for the better
administration of the pension laws
New assistant chiefs of the various
divisions, new Assistant Chief of the
Board of Review, n new Assistant
Medical Referee, a new Law Clerk
and a new Assistant Law Clerk have
been appointed.
The new Deputy Commissioners,
James L. Davenport and Leverette NJ.
Kelley, are both experienced men. the
former having been in various import
ant positions in the Bureau for many
years past and the latter having been
in the Bureau during President Harri.
sons administration. Nearly all of
these new appointments were in the
army and have had many years of eX-
perience in the practice of the Depart
ment and are in full sympathy with
the new Commissioners policy Of fair
ness and justice.
1t is stated also that many members
of Boards of Examining Surgeons who
served during President Harrisoa's ad-
ministration. are being reinstated and
it is believed there will be general
reorganization of the Boards through
out the country. 1t is now generally
conceded these officers do not come

WASHINGTON county wants one OF
the State Senators from this Ninth
Fourteenth District. That in the re-
suit that Washington county Republi-
cans desire to see ensue.
For Washington to figure as win
ner in the convention it is our opinion
that she must go before the convention
for one man, be he Col. Riley, Charlie
Dana, or John Smith. If it would ap-
pear that special popular election
shuts out any aspirants, let that spec
ial election be held late, until every
man who has the commendable am bi-
tion be given a chance to enter the
lists. Then let the merry war proceed,
and allow the people to say which of
them is their choice.
The precinct plan is fair and square.
No one can go behind its doing, but in
a contest like the present one, would it
not be a loser in the final roundup?
Washington county with a multi
color delegation would not have the
prestige that would be hers if she was
made up of one fixed complexion, that
would not fade or wash out when eX-
posed to the most trying conditions.
