Mrs. Gladstone's Prayer Book TAX
en- BY an American.
NEW YORK, June Ga Sun cable
from London says: If this should meet
the eye of an American gentleman who
recently went on a pilgrimage TO Ha-
warden in order to gaze upon William
Ewart Gladstone, he is urgently re-
ouested to return a prayer book which,
in a moment of forgetfulness, he walk
ed off with. The book belongs to Mrs.
Gladstone.
The following notice in the June
number of the Hawarden Parish Mag
azine tells the story, although 1mper-
fectly: Mrs. Gladstone dropped her
ivory prayer book in church on Sun
day. May 23d. Will the gentleman who
found and inquired about it, but, I'M
fortunately, took it away, kindly re-
turn it? He appeared to be foreign
or"
In the interest of truth it is right to
announce that the gentleman was an
American, and his accent resembled
the duIcet tones of certain Chicago
orator. Furthermore, there is grie-
yous reason TO believe that he sinned
knowingly, for a member of the con-
gregation Of whom he made inquiry
told him the book probably belonged
tn Mrs. Gladstone: 1t is hoped that IL
he now learns that the book was a
family gift, much priced by the owner,
he will forthwith return it with a
handsome donation toward the Ha-
warden parish orphan fund.

Norway for Arbitration.

CHRISTIANIA, May %. - The
Storthing committee appointed to in
uuire into the question of arbitration,
proposes to address King Oscar, de-
cIaring that as Norway, for geograph-
zeal reasons, is little exposed to con-
fiicts with foreign powers, it should
not be difficult to conclude treaties and
establish a permanent court of arbitra-
ton in the event of such conflicts. The
Storthing therefore begs His Majesty
to take the steps necessary to promote
the idea.

Earthquake +!

On Monday afternoon at about
2:15. o'clock, the citizens of
Clarksburg experienced the
queer and unusual sensation. of
an earthquake shock. which last
ed for several seconds. The
shock was more noticeable to
persons who happened to be in
the upper stories of residences
and business buildings than to
Others, and many people Z were
roughly shaken up.
Similar shocks were felt in ten
States the same afternoon, at
from one to two o'clock. Tall
buildings trembled, and thous-
ands of persons got a bad scare.
At Washington the quake lasted
Eve minutes and the capitol yib-
rated decidedly. Life. savers were
called out IN Kentucky. Shocks
were felt all over Ohio shortly
after one o'clock in the after
noon. At Pittsburg the tremor
was quite perceptible in high
buildings and lasted about a
minute.
In some parts of West Vir-
GINA windows were broken and
houses emptied. Virginia had
the quakes too, but no damage
was done. Only people up in
the world in Maryland felt the
vibrations. Colored folks 10
North Carolina thought it meant
the end of the world. Tennessee
people rushed into the street to
escape falling walls. Georgia
trembled. but managed to keep
her presence of mind. On the
whole, the earthquake created a
great sensation, without doing
any considerable damage to life
or property.

- $500 =
1t has been said that little
boats should keep close to shore"
/ have tried to follow this axiom
and perhaps now. one in my
humid sphere should keep mum;
but have been somewhat inter-
esteda in the controversy over the
building of a bridge across Elk
creek Heading to the new depot.
Your editorial on this subject
last week seemed plain enough to
reconcile all differences between
the town and county people.
But permit rue to add few
more figures which may be q
benefit to some who do not care
to make calculations.
The bridge, I see, is estimated
to cost $4,000. The taxable
property Of Harrison county is
assessed at something over S.
100000. Now, to get $4,000
from 100000 of taxable prop
erty would require a levy Of a
little less than 9 cents on the
hundred dollars.
Thus you see a man would have
to be assessed with $1,000 worth
of property before he would pay
s1.oO. Very few persons in the
county would pay $500 and
thousands would not pay 10 cents.
The time for tollroads and toll
bridges has past in this great
country of ours. No one would
be satisfied with toll bridge in
Clarkst urg, and in my humble
judgmdht the county court will
make q lasting mistake ifit re-
fhisS Il levy for free bridge.
No doubt some one will say,
oh. You keep quiet, you don't pay
much taxes: but /, with a humid
red others of my calibre will Ego
down. if necessary for the one
dollar, which will put US on an
equality with the average man
who is more fortunate in the
possession of this worlds goods.
(, Now don't think dear country
cousin, I" that I am prejudiced to-
wards Clarksburg. My preju-
dices would naturally gravitate
the other way, but I am for JUS
tice, and the most convincing
proof of this fact is, that on most
all matters where the people differ
you find me occupying middle
grounds. Let the bridge be built
by subscription rather than have
a toll bridge. w. M. NORRIS.

Elihu Burritt, 1.-The Learned
Blacksmith" was in many re-
spects one of the most note
worthy characters that New Eng
land has produced during the
century. The extent of his lin
guistic attachments, self-trained
as he was without the privileges
of the schools, was something re-
markable and almost Incredible.
But he was not simply machine
for learning languages, he was a
man of most virile mind, of
great public spirit and Of world
wide sympathies. His labors in
BEHALF of cheap postage and of
international arbitration were
more fruitful than the labors of
almost anybody else in his gener-
alton, and in this time when the
cause of international arbitration
is peculiarly at the front, it is
worth while to study Burritt's
life again. Miss Ellen Strong
Bartlett's article upon him in the
June number of the Ne,o England
Magazine is most opportune, and
will be widely read.
