Elsewhere IL an interesting interview
with the receivers OF the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. reviewing the great work
which has been accomplished In the past
year and a half In the rehabilitation Of
the system. 1t details all the important
improvements that have been made In
the way of better facllltles,and in render
Ing more safe and modern the track and
the rolling equipments, as well as the In
crease of facilities for handling traffic
Those who travel over the Baltimore &
Ohio road to-day cannot fail to note the
improvements that have been made,
which are wonderful, considering the
short time that has elapsed since the
work was begun. The traveller is par
ticularly impressed with the better
equipments which render travel more
safe and comfortable. Further lmprove-
ments are to be made, such as the relay
ing OF the entire track with heavier steel
rails. the building OF new stations at sey7
er4il points. and still further increases Of
new and modern cars and locomotives
Those who remember the condition Of
the road in which the receivers found It,
will not find 1t hard to realize that the
management has almost completely rev.
olutlonized the system and transformed
1t into one of the best in point of equip
ment In the United States.

A burst OF golden sunshine,
a Whispering OF the leaves,
A music ripple on the brook,
a 10Y, a wonder In each nook;
a sweeping shadow DER the land.
A flushing OF the tree-tOps,
A crlmsonlng Of the lake,
A peaceful mildnoHs In the mir,
A Thought OF hidden mysteries there,
A glorious fading o. the sun

A 10Y in ohildhoods plnythings,

one glance at the low bed made her gasp
for her breath. for underneath the CHASTITY
sheet which covered i she could trace the
outlines OF n motioDless form. The gas
was burning, but turned very low, and the
room was cold and gloomy, almost sepul-
chral In Its chill dreariness.
AS " drawn by some horrible fasclna-
ton, Laura stole nolselessly TO the bedside,
turned back the sheet with her trembling
hands, and looked at the dear dead face
beneath.
A few pages further on in the book Oc-
ours the following;

By them. a small vial.
Mrs, Waldron bent down and picked II
up between her thumb and finger, holding
II up for her TO examine more closely
Upon the vial there was small printed
label, with the word Poison upon IT,
Might It not be possible that this young
woman, without any cause in the world
TO rid the earth of her presence, had be-
come meditatiye and melancholy in the
quiet hours OF the night. and having a
mind easily impressed, have become so
affected by the gruesome details of the
novel, as to have suggested TO her the
thing she did? Such things have hap
pened, Under such surroundings the
suggestion inspired by reading literature
OF this class has often grown into an ire
sistable desire. The coincidence OF the
readers own situation and that of the
character in the novel would serve only
to increase the melancholy impression.
In this case the coincidence was made
the stronger by the fact that the name
of this readers sister was Laura, as In
the novel.

Messrs. Lever Bros. Ltd, proprie-
tors of Sunlight Soap, do nothing by

the United States is bold one 1t is

tempting features of which are the
presentation of S.. 400 in cash, bicy-
cles and gold watches every month OF
the year 1897, to those who collect and
send in to Lever Bros. New York
Office the largest number Of Sunlight
coupons. The total value of the
prizes to be awarded during the year
1897 is $40, 800.

$Ioo Pierce Special Bicycles. and 40
third prizes, each of $25 Gold Watch

CABINET POSSIBILITIES.
Building Tariff Bill Johnson's Bad
Break Mills Hum0r.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.-Senator
Sherman will probably settle the ques-
ton of whether he is to be Secretary
of State in the coming administration
during the present week, as he will,
by special invitation, have personal
conference with President-elect Nc
Kinley at Canton. Mr.. Sherman's
personal inclinations are not towards
the Cabinet, but he is prepared to do
his duty as good Republican and a
patriotic citizen, and if it be the wish
of President Mckinley and of the Ohio
Republicans, who have given him
such great political honors in the past
that he should accept cabinet port
folio, he will not allow his personal
inclinations to stand in the way.
That he would make good Secretary
of State is as certain as that he has
made good Senator and good Sec
retary of the Treasury, and while MS
colleagues would miss his experience
and wisdom in the Senate, the knowl-
edge that President Mckinley and
the country would have the benefit
of them would go far towards con-
selling them for the loss.
Having heard what the parties di-
rectly interested had to say about the
new tariff bill, the Republicans of the
House Ways and Means Committee
will this week begin the actual con-
struction of the bill. The Democratic
members of the committee had the
privilege of attending the hearings,
and some of them availed themselves
of it, but the construction of the bill
will only be participated in by the
Republican members. Chairman
Dingley has pointed out the difference
in this task and the construction of
the Mckinley bill in 1890, and it
should not be lost sight of by those
who are interested in seeing the ar
duous task successfully performed.
In 1890 the Treasury had a surplus
which was growing larger all the
time. and the tariff bill was intended
to protect American products and
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1897-01-16

manufactures, and at the same time,
10 reduce the receipts of the govern
ment. Now. again referring to Chair.
man Dingley's words, the new tariff
bill must protect American products
and manufactures. and at the same
time, add from $50. 600. 900 to $75..
900, 900 year TO the Government re-
ceipts, in order to provide for the de-
icit made by the insufiiciency Of rev.
enue produced by the Democratic
tariff bill, which Mr.. Cleveland de-
nounced as an outrage and refused to
sign, and which he now declares TO
be good thing. Notwithstanding all
the trouble it has brought to the
country.
The Loud bill depriving sample cop
les Of newspapers and books oft the right
to be sent through the mail at pound
rates was passed by the House. and
has now gone to the Senate, where its
prospect of being acted upon is far
from bright. 1t will be fought hard
and time is getting scarce.
The speech Of Representative John
son, of California. on the Pacific Rail-
road Funding bill, which was today
disposed of by the house, in which he
made vicious personal attack upon
Mr.. W. R. Hearst, proprietor of the
San Francisco Examiner and the New
York Journal, is much regretted by
all who heard It. Some of the Lam
guage OF Mr.. Johnson was so vulgar
and indecent that it could not be
printed in newspapers which go
through the mail without violation
of law--such language as should new
er be heard in a gathering of gentle
men and which no provocation can
excuse. Disgusting people never
brings them to your way Of thinking
1t remained for Senator Mills to in
troduce humorous phase to the Gu
ban question. His resolution, upon
which he made speech today in his
usual style--he works harder than a
blacksmith when he makes a speech
after recitfag that Cuba ought to be
tree and declaring that this country
recognizes its independence, and that
the President must act i'll harmony
with Congress, provides for the APP
pointment of U. S. Minister to Cuba
and appropriates $40, 600 to pay his
salary and expenses. The idea of APP
pointing minister to country which
as yet has neither government, ac-
cording to the common American con-
ception of government, nor a capital
is regarded as about the choicest It'd
bit of humor turned up at the present
session OF Congress, although Mr..
Mills doesn't pose as funny man
Representative and Senator elect
Money, of Mississippi. is back from
his fool trip to Cuba, but if he found
out anything that the newspapers
have not already acquainted the peo-
pie of the United States with he has
not told it. He has suddenly adopted
an owl-like style. He looks mysteri-
Gus and drops mysterious hints about
what he might tell if SO disposed, but
it does not fool anybody.

Few people know that all plants
contain digestive principles. They
cannot absorb their food until it is di.
gested any more than animals can.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
learned the art of extracting and util-
izing these digestive principles, and
it is for this reason that their Shaker
Digestive Cordial is meeting with
such phenomenal success in the treat
ment of dyspepsia. The Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial not only contains food
already digestcd, but it also contains
digestive principles which aid the di-
gestion Of other foods that may be
eaten with it. A single 10 cent SAM
pie bottle will be sufficient to demon
strate its value, and we suggest that
every suffering dyspeptic make trial
Of it. Any druggist can supply it.
