There seems TO be little doubt that in
"A Fool OF Fortune" William II. Crane,
one OF the few of the Old Guard OF Come

career. In New York it met with greater
degree OF favor than any of the manVfor-

of the play is an old one, speculation, and

COURT ADJOURNED,

Vacation Will BE Short, However, and
Business Begins Again in January.
Judge Jones adjourned the October
term of Common Pleas Court Friday
after long and active session at
which large amount of business was
transacted. All the criminal work
possible was disposed of on account
of the near expiration Of the term of
]. C. Preston as Prosecuting Attorney.
In his six years of untiring work in
that position, it may be said Of Mr..
Preston that he has never faltered in
his duty to the State and has been
one of the best officials the county has
had. He will turn oyer his Office to
Mr.. Brenan in January with the
business in good shape and few cases
on the docket
Beginning next year the times for
holding court will be changed and the
term in this county will hereafter be-
gin in January, April and Septem Der,
instead of February, May and October,
as formerly. This will make the
interim between the close of the past
term and the beginning of the next one
very short.

AN UNEMPLOYED COUNTRY.
No Traveller Ever Succeeded In Cross
ing Thibets Frontier.

ing Thibets Frontier.
The immense territory of Thibet is
almost completely surrounded by noun
tain ranges of appalling magnitude,
which, especially along the southern,
western and northern frontiers, con-
stitute formidable barriers against
ingress. From the Pamir plateau, in
the extreme west, says the Boston
Transcript, ("the worlds backbone")
radiate the great natural ramparts
which shut out India on the one hand
and the Tartar countries of Bokhara
and Turkestan on the other. No Ash
attic or western conqueror has ever
dared to penetrate this mountain world
and even Genphis Kahn, the scourge of
Asia, whose ravages extended from
Peking in the east to Moscow in the
west, was obliged when invading north
ern India 10 take the circuitous route
via Kashghar and Afghanistan, instead
of crossing Thibet. Secure on their
lofty plateau and practically isolated
from the rest of the world the people
of Thibet have remained undisturbed
for ages, and have developed charac-
teristics for which we would vainly
search in any race of the globe. The
Chinese conquest" has not produced
the slightest change in their mode of
life or exercised any appreciable in
'fuence upon their peculiar culture.

THE BRIDGE

Causes Considerable Discussion at the
BOARD of Trade Rooms Friday Evening.
The meeting called for the Bellevue
Hotel Friday evening to discuss the
plans and specifications of the proposed
bridge across the Ohio River, was ad-
iourned TO the Board of Trade Rooms
and opened at eight o'clock. MAJOR
Powell, of the U. S. Engineer Depart
ment presided, as the senior member OF
the board of army officers appointed
for the purpose. representatives. of
the Pittsburg Coal Exchange and the
Masters and Pilots Association and a
large number of Marietta citizens were
present. Mr.. lutte, the promoter of
the enterprise, was also in attendance.
Major Powell called for expressions of
opinion on the plans which call for
60O-foot span leaving the Ohio shore at
the foot of Butler street and number
of gen n.lemen responded, both for and
against the proposition. Those repre-
senting the river interests favored
placing the bridge at the foot OF the
island, about Fifth street, or putting
in an 500. foot span at Butler street.
Mr.. lutte spoke strongly in favor of
the original Butler street plan. The
msjority of Marietta people present
appeared to be not very particular
where the bridge is located, If it is
eventually built. After discussion of
an hour and half Major Powell ad-
journed the meeting and the Board
will carefully investigate the proposed
location today, preparatory to making
report to the War Department.

OLD sAAkER.s SPECIALLY.
He Has n Trio of Attributes witch
Make Him Unique.

Logan county boasts of one of the
unique characters in Kentucky in the
person of Lorenzo Pearcifield. who
since childhood has been an honored
member of the Shaker community at
South Union. says the Louisville Cour~
ier-Journal. Mr.. Pearcifeld is now close
on to 20 years Of age and weighs about
800 pounds.
There Is not another man in Logan or
any other county. SO far as is known,
who is 70 years old and weighs 900
pounds, who is noted as the most sue
cessful horse breaker in his section.
Yet this is true of the colossal old
Shaker. The secret of his success in
this direction seems to lie in his great
courage and strength. He is absolute
ly fearless and almost as strong as an
ordinary horse. He has a system all
his own, which consist in first demon
strating to the perfect satisfaction of
the horse that he is master of the situ-
alton. To do this II is sometimes neces-
sary to throw the horse down and sit
upon his head, which Mr.. Pearcifeld
does in the most approved style. After
300 pounds has sat upon his horseship's
head for a little while he is satisfied.
Mr.. Pearcifie.d then bitches him to his
little cant and drives about and looks
at the country. So great is his fame as
tanner of wild horses that the farmers
for miles around bring him unman-
ageable horses to break. and none has
baffled his skill and strength.
