Sad story of Misplaced Affection "f
Washington County Girl.

sad story of Misplaced Affection of u
Washington County Girl.
The Pittsburg Dispatch has the fol-
lowing: Mrs. Alexander Kidd was sent
to Marshalsea yesterday with her baby
She is only II years old. Her mother
is said to be wealthy woman of New
Matamoras, o. Mrs. Kidd's maiden
name is Eta Newman. She met and
married Kidd, piano salesman for IL
Pittsburg house, against her mothers S
wishes. He brought her to Pittsourg
and deserted her, She says. A woman
in New Kensington is said to claim
him as her hus band.
The Matamoras Mail adds this to
complete the sad story: The above is
another chapter in the life of an inno-
cent girl who loved, not wisely, but
too well. Eva Newman, the girl re-
ferred to, left her home here with the
villain Kidd Il year ago last summer.
This is another substantial warning TO
girls not to accept the attentions of
every fellow who comes along.
Kidd is one of those worthless, no.
madic creatures, neither good looking
nor educated. so often encountered,
who seem to live upon the misplaced
confidence of the business world and TO
revel in the betrayal ofcontiding women
and girls. So far as we can learn he
has made for himself an unenyiable
reputation in whatever community ne
has afflicted with his presence. In ad-
dition to the New Kensington woman
who claims to be his wife and the girl
so cruelty deserted in Pittsburg, Kidd,
years ago, married Miss Criss, of Writ
county, W. Va, from whom we never
heard of him being legally separated.
If all reports in regard to the man be
true, and we have no reason to doubt
them, he richly deserves just as long
and irksome position in the peniten-
tiary as can be given him.

SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS.
Gelatinous Substance Spread on Galvan-
lied Iron Web.

"The first successful substitute for
glass;" says an architect in the Wash
ington Times, sis tectorium, a gelatin
Gus composition. 1t has not appeared
in this country at all, as yet, but is
being introduced in Europe.
This gelatnous substance is given
rigidity by being spread on a galvan-
lied iron web, which holds the sheet
in any desired shape, but does not OBJ
struct the passage of light. 1t is trans
lucent, but not transparent, and can be
stained in such a manner as to exactly
initiate stained glass.
ut cannot be broken nor softened by
the rays of the sun, but is flexible and
easily bent into any desired shape.
When unstained it at first is yellow,
but on exposure TO the sun it turns
white, at the same time becoming hard
er and more durable.
"Like glass, it is poor conductor of
heat. 1t is lighter than glass, and on
this account is well adapted for roofs.
Unless it can be made transparent ii
can never hope to entirely supersede
glass, but its cheapness and SUI
periority to glass in other direc-
tions are securing for it extensive sales
for factory windows, sEylights for hot
houses, roofing and like purposes"

The matter of the Observation-Disclosures
town bridge is boiling furiously, and it
is the one subject discussed by every
body. The route as now proposed
seems to give pretty general satisfac-
tion and it is d pretty safe prediction
that Council will grant Mr.. lutte and
his fellows the franchise which they
ask.
The advantages of the bridge to our
city are recognized as incalculable, and
the general expression is one of desire
for it. 1t will be the means of letting
our three railroads which bear toward
the north into a rich new country
where nature has stored up untold
wealth, and which is only waiting to
become great item in commerce.
That the bridge would promote a
railroad into West Virginia there can
be not the least doubt in the world.

river between Marietta and Williams.

eEsslE's GREAT SACRIFICE.
She Felt Sorry for Baby Who Had No
Doll.


The stockings had been hung up and
the little olles gathered around the
hearth to hear mamma tell the story
of the Babe of Bethlehem, says fhc
New York World. Their small faces
expressed profound sympathy when
they heard how the Son of God was
born in stable, how He lay on bed
of straw, how He shivered in the cool
December night and how His life was
in danger from the wicked Herod. Lit
tie Bessie seemed TO be particularly inn
pressed She said nothing, but one
could see that she was thinking hard.
When, half an hour later, mamma
came to Bessie's bed to kiss her good
night, she found the child pressing her
doll to her bosom and gazing at it with
unutterable affection. AS she stopped
over the bed Bessie looked up and
asked, earnestly: Mamma, amt Gods
baby got any dolly?"
NO." replied the mother, smiling.
Bessie looked at her doll again and
hugged it. Then conflicting emotions
showed themselves on the little face.
After IL long silence the child raised
her eyes, which had such an expression
as those of the martyrs must have worn
at the stake, and said, firmly: Take
it to Him, mamma"
Closing her eyes tight Bessie laid the
doll in her mothers hands and buried
her face in the pillow to try to forget
the great sacrifice She had made.

POWER OF A WoMAN's WORD.
1t Ovcrcame the Wrath of an Unfceling
Policeman.

Policeman. f.
The following pretty story is taken
from the New York Mail and Express
and is good enough to stand by itself.
He was only an Italian fruit-vender.
Their was nothing about him at all like
ly to inspire the beholder with feeling,
one way or another. He was not
ragged enough to call for especial sym
pathy, nor unlempt enough to provoke
disgust. Yet to the policeman on his
beat he was undoubtedly the object OF
considerable aversion. This was shown
by the unrelcnting vigor with which,
the fruit-seller was pursued from cor
ner to corner by the Jealous guardian OF
the law.
The other day, in too hurried re
sponse to the everlasting order to
'move on" the pcddler's cart was upset,
and his peaches and pears were scat
tered over the ground and across the
street car track. The enraged police
man could barely restrain the impulse
to use his club.
"The dirty loafer!" he exclaimed
"He did it on purpose-just trying to
excite sympathy" i
"He has succeeded, then" said soft
voice at the officers elbow, and neat
little woman stopped and began to
gather up the scattered fruit.
The officers face reddened. He hesi'
tated a moment, and then he, too
joined in the work of restoration.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, OF Dimondale, Mich, VIC
are permitted to make this extract: Il
have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While | was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox,
ysms of coughing would last for hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recommended DIR. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results. y

MORE ABOUT THE BRIDGE.



Messrs ". C. lutte and Engineer
Felkel left Thursday for Pittsburg to
await the action of Council in the mat
ter of granting the franchise for the
proposed Marietta and Williamstown
bridge. Present indications are that
the franchise will be granted with not
moro than one dissenting vote. The
universal expression of public opinion
is to that effect. . ... %%
Assuming the franchise to be grant
ed, the next step will be to secure the
right of way for the Marietta approach
This will be almost entirely on public
property, but in few instances will
cross lots owned by individuals and we
understand that the city will be asked
to subscribe an amount sufficient to
purchase them-proba bly, $4,000.
To secure the money for building
the bridge the railroads entering the
city are expected to guarantee enough
business to pay interest on the invest
ment and the project will then be an
assured fact The c. & NJ. and Ohio
River roads are looked upon to put up
the bulk of this guarantee.
When the above matters are attended
to the rest will be smooth sailing.
They will not, however, be easy of ac.
complishment and will require the
united efforts OF the influential men of
the city.

every direction was unearthed Thurs
day at the corner near Anderson's jew

electric railway pole the workmen
came upon the old brick sidewalk,
formerly in use there, which was four
and half feet under the surface of the
present walk.
