SCOTS Narrow Escape.

The world had narrow escape OF
never having known Sir Walter Scott
When Il tiny babe, he was left in charge
of q maid, but the girls heart was in
Edinburgh, whittier she wanted to 90
to rejoin her lover. She was, however,
compelled to stay and look after the
infant at Sandy Knowe The girl re-
garded her charge as an obstacle TO be
removed, and afterward confessed that
she carried young Scott up to the Craigs
(under strong temptation of the devil,
as she expressed i), fully intending to
cut his throat with her scissors and
bury him under the moss.

o;ovcIe Races At The
Hancock Park Yes
terday
Very Well Attended


NJ. h;cvcle races at the Hancock Dry
nort Yesterday was not very wen at
,a9ded. The afiair was not a very IN
.0ir,ipg one and the events dragged no
o,ternoou was entirely taken up
nth a comparatively short program.
o,o reoson for this was that the sma"

entered. p
T. .ba ouarter mile were entered hasp-
..a Of a Morgan 4 Wright team, Boone
psoos Z,rbel and Monroe. Monroe and
ro.oor. collded at the turn. Boone win
aioriu a seconds, Zsrbel second and
| r,oos third. The start was poor. about
.moort RI ee seconds being lost alter the
pistol went oil.
IN the iye-mile N atch between Boone
and ,rbe the men were paced alter
Oately by Evans, Monroe and Gilmore
and Di.tel. Very fair time was made,
! 1a.o5 "a. but on the final squirt Z,rbel
oosilv won. The whole race was 10 the
last fly yards.
The mile was won by KasDers from
Tho bpyond mark with Gilmore second
from the 40 yard. Y rbel from scratch
came in third. Evans began his squirt
before the last quarter was reached but
he could not keep up the pace he set and
he finished poor fifth. The time was
23l.
Evans and Z4rbrl and Gilmore on the
tandem ran a mile in 2;25, the team win
ming by half length.

The race for a quarter mile between
Monroe and Messner's pony was an easy

the events.

exhibition OF trick riding and Gilmore. o

Striking Effect of Climate.

Occasionally an eloquent testimonial
to the virtues of "health resort fails
to find a place in the printed matter
sent out by the hotel keepers or Others
interested in the prosperity of the place.
A railway president who had gone TO
one of the summer resorts of the north
west to spend few weeks was sitting
OH the veranda of a hotel enjoying the
lake scenery and his cigar when he
was accosted by resident boomer
with the remark:
"You IL find the air here full of ozone
sir. You'll sleep like a log. Before you
have been here week you will gain
ten pounds or miss my guess, and
I'm generally right.
II don't doubt it," replied the rail
way magnate. II gained eight pounds
the very first day"
"That beats the record" said the
boomer slightly dazed, but recover

known instances almost equal to it. y

ing chapters says:
Undoubtedly the incest way to get
married is Oh the sly, and indeed it is
at present becoming quite fashionable.
Many young couples Of my acquaint-
ance, who have had no other reason for
concealing the fact beyond their own
within, have thus slipped off without
saying a word to anybody and returned
full blown housekeepers, with at homo
days of their own and rything else
like real married people-for, as the
old lady said to me, You can never be
sure of married people nowadays unless
you have been at the wedding.
The author then further philosophers
as follows:
Il don't know myself what getting
married feels like, but it cannot be
much more exciting than watching
other people getting married. Indeed,
| always get something like palpitation
of the heart just before the priest utters
the final fateful words, Il declare you

you were still free. Half second after
you were bound for the term of your

Vessels Beneath the Sen.

A hollow vessel, formed OF metal or
any other substance, and hermetically
sealed, can be made to float under the
water at given distance without sink
ing to the bottom. Copper, for exam
pie, is nearly nine times as heavy as
water. A cubic foot of copper made in
hollow, tight vessel of nine cubic feet
capacity, would just float. By making
1t slightly smaller 1t would float at
some depth below the surface. Careful
measurements and exact calculate
would be necessary to float such ves-
sci at a required depth. A torpedo
boat capable of carrying six persons
and remaining a number of hours un-
der water was constructed during the
late war, and one of the plans to re-
lease Napoleon from ST. Helena con
templated the use of vessel that could
be used close to the island-under the

NEW MATAMORAS.

The oil business is practically at a
standstill here. With dry hole on the
Carson, one mile above town, and an
other on the Davis, in the Wilson Run
field about six miles West, and to the
inland, where Matamoras would sub
stantislly reap benefit, operators are
at loss to know in what direction to
turn. good we'll on the Amos farm,
however, lying directly between here
and the Carson dry hole, is a puzzler,
and operators are wondering what to do
next. The Wilson Run, at least, is "a
goner" and future operations out there
are not likely to be of lively nature.
A notable event in our town during
the past week was the marriage of two
of our young society people. Mr.. s. E.
Weeter, a prominent young oil operator
and man of considerable means, and
Miss Gwen Green, of the Hotel Green,
were quietly married at the home of the
brides sister, in Benwood, on Thanks
giving day, and came home on Friday.
A reception was rendered them at the
Hotel that evening, and the X. of P.
sented themselves on Saturday evening
The band received "V" for it's services
while the small boy was bountifully
dealt with at the candy counter. The
young people are of the best people of
the community and start out with every
prospect of long and happy married
life.
A sensation was created in our village
Monday, when Mr.. Sam Sulzbacher, of
Parkersburg, formerly of Marietta, came
here and took possession, under chattel
mortgage, of the stock of goods of o. B.
Fawcett. An inventory was taken A0f
the goods and Mr.. Sulzbacher opened
the store and was proceeding to sell
goods to satisfy his claim, when a sec
ond claimant put in an appearance and
secured the second chattel mortgage.
This was no sooner done than the third
| man arrived on the scene and secured
an order of attachment for the third
claim. This ended the sale and the
store is closed pending legal proceed
ings in Squire Hopper's court. MIR.
Fawcett has been here over two years,
and is one of our most popular
merchants, and seemed to be doing an
excellent business. Later the writ of
attachment was withdrawn aud Mr..
Sulzbscher is proceeding with the sale.
Thieves entered the cooper shop in the
lower end of town Sunday night and
carried away all the tools they could

THE EASTERN CHEROKEES.
Decision of n Federal Court That They
Are Not Cftizens

Decision of n Federal Court That They
Are Not Citizens.
In decision by the United States
court of appeals in the western district
of North Carolina, says the New York
Sun, it has been virtually declared that
the eastern band of Cherokee Indians
are not citizens of the United States.
Some of these Indians have been vot-
ing for so years. They have more than
once held the balance of power between
the two political parties in western
North Carolina The chief question in
volved is the right of the eastern band
of Cherokee Indians to sell the timber
from land for which it holds deed.
The decision of the court is that the
band has no right to make any con-
tract whatever without THE sanction of
the United States government The
court says the eastern band did not
become citizens by virtue of the treaty
of New Echota in 1885. 1t is remarkable
that the court in its decision ignored
the case upon which the defendants
mainly relied, that of the case of the
eastern band of Cherokee Indians
against the western band. decided by
the supreme court of the United States.

held that the members of the eastern

THE USE OF CORAL.
It Is by No Means ms General as IT
Was Formerly.

It Is by No Means ms General as II
Was Formerly.
"The beautiful coral necklaces and
brooches that were once so fashionable
are seldom worn now by women in this
country" said New York dealer in
rare and curious ornaments to Wash
ington Star reporter recently. "Thir-
ty years ago the material was in great
demand for all sorts of articles of per-
sonal adornment. At the present day
coral is used largely only in such co'n-
tries as Nbyssinia, the Congo, the Cape,
India and Cey1on, Siberia, China and
Japan. The choicest pieces are used
for the buttons of Chinese mandarins
or for ornamentiug the turbans of rich
Mussulmans, while the inferior quail
ties are sent to less civilized countries,
where they are employed for various
purposes.
Coral has been often used as money
in oriental countries, but that use of it
is now declining. Barbarous and semi
civilized peoples employ it largely for
ornamenting arrows, lances and pixies,
and also for decorating corpses before
interment. Prices have varied much
of late years, rapid decline in value
having taken place, owing principally
to the scarcity of good and the compara-
tive abundance of inferior qualities.
Besides the loss accruing to the fish
erman the present scarcity of coral is
very seriously affecting the large num-
Der of people employed in preparing the
material for market. There has been q
great decline in the number of women
thus engaged at Leghorn, and the same
state of affairs is evident at Naples and
Genoa, the other principal seats of the
industry. Nowadays the proportion of
inferior quality is so much larger that
fewer persons are required to manipu-
late the quantity. No machinery or me-
chanical process is employed. The
workman simply takes pieces Of coral
into his or her hands, one after an
other, and. according to their thickness,
quality and defects, works them into
certain forms. Their wages run from
Is cents TO IS cents per day."
