DEATH TO DESPOILERS.
Governors Views of Man who Ruins
AnOther's Home.


AnOther's Home.
Parkersburg, w. Va, Aug. To-
About year ago a man named w.
S. HINES shot and seriously injured
Benz. Hall, turnkey of the Jail here,
because Hall had alienated the af-
fectiOns of Mrs. HINES. HINES con-
fessed aud asserted that heregretted
that he did not kill his victim
Judge Jackson gave him a sentence
of twenty-fOur hours in Jail and a
fine Of 500 and costs, and then con-
Cured in petition signed by many
citizens pleading for the remission of
the fine. Gov. Atkinson to-day gave
notice that he would remit the fine.
The Governor said: This is a re-
markable case. The only regret in
the matter is that HINES did not Kill
Hall. He ought to have done so.
He tried to do so, but his pistol missed
fire. He shot the scoundrel four
times, but unfortunately did not kill
him. Every man who has a soul in
his body will agree with me that he
ought to have killed him.
Hall is at large. He ought to be
apprehended and imprisoned for life.
If the Prosecuting Attorney Of Wood
county does his duty he will see that
the scoundrel is prosecuted and i'm
prisoned for breaking up Kimes'
home. | remit this fine and costs
with more pleasure than any word
the English language furnishes me
to express"
Since HINES release he has been
employed at Wheeling, coming occa
sionally to see his children. Hall is
living with Mrs. HINES, and every
visit the husband makes here the
wife endeavors to have the police
arrest him for failure to pay his
| fine.

THE fight between the Reform
Party and the Whiskey Ring for the
control of the approaching Novem-
Der municipal election, has begun,
with the opening of the registration
books. No man can vote who does
not register. Registration, there
fore, Is an all important matter, and
both sides are awake to their inter-
ests. No lover of sobriety, good
morals and good order, should dis
franchise himself by a failure to
register; for next to the sin of vot-
ing the whiskey ticket, comes the
shameful omission not to prepare
yourself to vote against it. "Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty -
and we hope that no good citizen
will wait for second reminder to
register. Make that your first duty
for to-day,

REFORM DEFEATED.

In the defeat of the proposition to
call a Constitutional Convention,
nothing more than the expected has
happened.
When the question was before the
Legislature, it was believed that the
people wanted convention. They
had been talking a great deal about
it for number of years; they had
taken the pains in very many of
their county conventions last year,
to instruct their representatives to
vote for the convention call, and
when the Republicans, backed by
the corporations, were lobbying to
defeat the measure, a great howl
went up, and Democratic repre-
sentatives who were disposed not 20
favor the measure We're anathe-
matted all over the state; until
finally the question was submitted.
Then, Immediately, they began
to lose interest and become uncon-
cerned. No sooner did they find
they could get it, than they didn't
want it. So long as it was denied
them, they were dead anxious for it;
but when all objections and obstacles
were removed, they sat themselves
supinely down and didn't care
cuss whether Tennessee had an old
or new or any constitution at all or
not.
All of which goes to prove that the
people are contrary and contra
dictory creeturs, and that "voX
populi' is an unknown quantity.
What the office holders and fee
grabbers and corporations will
do before another opportunity is
given to head them, will be plenty.
They will continue to pile up costs
and exact toll and wax insOlent and
fat off of the farmer and the artisan
who didn't go to the polls--a pun
ishment he richly deserves.
The Legislature will doubtless be
appealed to now and then for relief,
but mostly in vain. Laws of real
relief will be defeated by the rings
or declared unconstitutional by the
courts. Little cigarette laws and
such like will be passed, only TO be
ignored. Property values, under
the benefcent influence of tariff
protection and the single gold stand
ard, will continue to fall, while an
eXtravagant administration by the
office holders for the Office holders
will increase the taxes, until soon
or late the fellow who didn't go to
the polls will wish he had.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Knoxville Sentinel, Is very jealous
of its reputation, and declines to rest
under the charge that it has copied
from the HERALD or any other pa
per, editorial matter without COM
ment or credit And the Editor of
the Sentinel has taken the trouble,
so he writes us, to examine his files,
and no such article as the Maury
Democrat reproduced and credited
to the Sentinel, has appeared in that
paper. The explanation is entirely
satisfactory to the HERALD, and
will be to the public, and relieves
the Sentinel and its Editor from any
guilt, either actual or implied. The
Sentinel is out of it; but the fact re-
mains, that the article first appeared
in the editorial columns of the HER
AID, and subsequently in the col
umns of the Democrat, with imprO-
per credit. Our local contemporary
can explain to the Sentinel, or not,
as they please.

Science.

The secret Of power with man is to know
its limitations To this end we need con-
stantIy new accessions of truth as to the
universe and better definitions of the truths
which are old. Such knowledge, tested
and placed In order, we call science. Sci
ence is the gathered wisdom of the race.
Only part of it can be grasped by any one
man. Each must enter into the work of
others. Science is the flower of the altru-
ism Of the ages, by which nothing that
lives 'fliveth for itself alone" The recog-
milton of facts and laws is the province Of
science. We only know what lies about us
from our own experience and that of 9TH
ers, this experience of others being trans
lated into terms of our own experience and
more or less perfectly blended with it. We
can find the meaning of phenomena only
from our reasoning based on these expert
ences. All knowledge we can attain or
hope to attain must, in SO far as it is
knowledge at all, be stated in terms of hui
man experience The laws of nature are
not the products Of science. They are the
human glimpses Of that which is the claw
before all time"
Thus human experience is the founda-
ton of all knowledge. Even innate ideas,
if such ideas exist, are derived in some way
from knowledge possessed by our ancestors,
as innate impulses to action are related to
ancestral needs for aotion.-David Starr
Jordan in Popular Science Monthly.

disposition Or lowered health standard, the

from the agitation of the question of con-
tagion in this disease is the opportunity
afforded health boards of educating the
victims to the necessary habits of cleanh-
ness, which in individual cases will lessen
the possibilities of disseminating the

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.
Two New Methods of Making Them.
Flowers of Bread.

Flowers of Bread.
Two very effective methods have recent
ly been discovered for making artificial
flowers. Oneis the use of bakers bread,
the other is by using the inner pith of the
fan palm of Japan.
Bread flowers are made in England
only, the factory being IN the west end of
London, where something like 100 expert
hands are employed. The process is still
secret, and as the flowers ere SO natural
in appearance as to deceive the eyes Of an
expert 1T is considered very valuable, for
not only do these flowers look exactly like
the real article when freshly made, but as
the bread grows stale the flowers assume a
slightly withered appearance which Is al
most identical with that of flower be-
ginning to fade. Artificial flowers, as a
rule, oan at once be detected by the an
naturally bright and fresh appearance they
present after being in the ball room for
several hours, but the fading powers Of the
bread flowers practically insure them
against detection. 1t is, believed that for
corsage wear, for thelsgarniture of even
ing and fancy gowns aswell as for house
decorations these bread flowers will be-
come very popular. They are at present
excessively expensive
The only factory for the making of ar
tif1cial flowers from the pith Of the Japa-
nese fan palm is quite small affair on
East Blocker street. The process is also
secret and belongs exclusively to Mr.. Sc
jolon, the proprietor Of the factory and
shop. When asked about his flowers, Mr..
Sejolon said:
sWe expect to open factory in London
or Paris next fall. My experiments are
such as to make me sure Of success. We
only make flowers to fill orders at present.
These roses" showing specimens of LIS
France and Marshal Neils, "are 90 and 81
per dozen. These chrysanthemums and
carnations, of course, are cheaper. As our
process Is secret, Of course can tell you
nothing about THAI, only that we get the
| material from which we manufacture the
fabric for the making of the flowers from
Japan. It is the pith of the ordinary fer,
palm. We employ only few people, and
our coloring matter and methods are
known only to them"
These flowers Of palm pith possess to
great degree the characteristics of the
bread flowers, the outer petals showing the
marks of being handled just exactly like a
natural flower, though, Of course, to Q
limited degree, since they can be worn
| numbers OF times without ever becoming
really faded in appearanoe.-New York
