which is also interested, are unwise
and their negligence or delay may
cost them much regret. II appears that
Marshall county has taken the matter
in hand with a view TO forestalling
Wheeling in the construction of the
road and making Moundsville the
roads terminus instead Of Wheeling.
To this end Marshall county has prom
fssd 10 give the road free right of way
through the county TO the Pennsylvania
line and a subscription Of 100000 in
addition.
This is a much more attractive offer
than has been made by Ohio county,
and if we are not careful, all our long
cherished plans in regard TO this road
will gang aglee." and our sister town
down the river viii reap the benefits
of the important new railroad connec-
rion. which is "a matter of such great
imDouance to our industries and whole
sale houses. TO whom it would open up
an entirely new Geld With this new
road. Nound5ville would present almost
rs GOOD a field for manufacturing as
Wheeling. so far as railroad facilities
are concerned, and this is fact OF
which Moundsville is we'll aware.
Which goes TO show that it behooves
Wheeling and Ohio county to look out
sharp in this matter, else they will get
left entirely.

Washington. February 9.-The Ma

here to-day with thirty-six members
present, representing practically all the
wool growing States and Territories. A
resolution was adopted calling on Con-
gress for such a protective tariff on
merino wool as will give the growers
east of the Missouri twenty cents per
pound, farm value, for unwashed mer-
inc and twenty-five, farm value, for
washed. For sections west of the Mis-

AS The St. Louis Republic puts it,
additional sweetness and light are in
store for the sunny land of France.
Mr. Jack l1cAuliffe, a distinguished cit
izen of this country, is TO visit the
French people under peculiarly happy
auspices. He viii so as the guest OF
I 1lademoiseIle Yvette Guilbert.
Mr. McAuliHe is known TO fame as
Ithe ex-light-weight pugllist champion
of the world. MademoiseIle Guilbert
is universally renowned as a singer of
cbansonettes. There are people who
believe that the Guilbert brand of
/ chansonette should always have its best
runs before audiences who are in limo
cent ignorance of what Mademoiselle
Yvette is singing about, but this is
another story. The same people are
equally severe in Judgment Of Mr.. Nc
AulRes claims for popular recogni-
uon.
Nr. McAulife will make his Gallic
debut i'm the attractive role Of Valor
led by Beauty's silken chain. This
alone should insure Of him most distin-
guished consideration in country
where. as Mademoiselle Guilbert her
self SAYS. mans only study is woman,
and wCman's. man." Mr.. McAulif1e
and llademoiselle Guilbert are friends;
am International alliance of the Bowery
bow and the Latin Quarter grisette, full
OF picturesque charm TO the unpreju-
diced observer
When the lightly lifting Yvette left
/ St Louis recently. bound for New Or
/ leans. not one of her admirers sus-
pec,ed that % romance was about to de-
velop itself But at almost that exact
moment 8Ir. 1IcAuline left San Fran
cisco and upon his arrival in the Cres-
cent CITY the GuIbert-9IcAuiiffe infat-
uation became the talk of the town.
The two We're inseparable; the pugil-
! isl accompanied the concert-hall sing
er i'm her private car from New Orleans
10 Cincinnati and there they separated
only upon the distinct understanding
that Mr.. McAuline should follow Mad
I emoiseue Guilbert TO France by the
very next steamer leaving New York
/ latter her own.
/ The developments i'm the case of Mad
/ emoiseue Yvette Guilbert and Mr.. Jack
| McAuHne should be smiled at, not
frowued upon by the good people OF
this country. If France possesses any
more young women VINO can cross the
water and WOO prize-hghters away from

view to an agreement as TO the pend
ing wool and wooden tariff schedule,
with a reservation, however, to the eff
feet that the growers would not agree
to any proposition not in full accord
with their views.
1t is probable that the conference will
be held here tomorrow. 1t is not yet

The southern entrance of the Red
sea is commanded by the fortress of
Adam and the fort on the little island
of Perrin, in the strait of Babel-Man-
deb; the guns of the latter completely
covering the narrow channel, and the
fortress dominating the entrance to
the sea.
The two principal German fortress
ses on the Baltic sea are at KOnigs-
berg and DanZig. Central Germany
has three first-class fOrtresses, Span

French frontier, Metz and Strasburg;
and on the Belgian grOntier, Cologne

The CyclOpean walls of Baalbec
were defensive works built of stone,
so great in size that even the most
elaborate engineering appliances of
the present day would be taxed to
transport them. Some of these stones
are sixty feet long by 10 to II thick,
and of unknown width.
The walls of Babylon were made of
sundried brick. They are said to have
been 300 feet high, and wide enough
ut the top for from three to five char
lots to drive abreast. The material,
however, was so friable, that of these
gigantic structures not trace now
remains.
The walls of the castles built in En-
gland by William the cOnquerer were
of remarkable thickness. The cas-
tie of Hastings and the keep or round
tower of Windsor have walls upward
of 30 feet in thickness. Such for
titicatiOn was impregnable against all
forms of attack then in use.
In '"The Voyages of Captain Cook
there is a statement to the effect that
in New Zealand the towns of the ma
tives were all protected by stockades.
In some cases these were formed of
double or triple rows of trees, the spa
ceS between latticed with wickerwOrk
and filled with earth.
Toward the close of the civil war
the men on both sides became so ex-
pert in erecting temporary. fortified
lions that in a few minutes an entire
regiment. halted in an open field,
would disappear from view behind the
breastworks thrown up by the men.
The only fortress in the United
States is Fortress Monroe, at Old
Point Comfort, in Virginia. 1t was
built for the purpose of defending the
naval yard of Norfolk against any
possible attack. Its area is baut SO
acres, surrounded by al moat filled
with water from s to 10 feet deep and
from IS to 100 feet wide.
The tower upon the wall is almost
as old as the wall itself, being a lit

Strategic points in military art are
