Blsmarck's Pipe.

Bismarck has often resented
the intimation that he was super.
stitious, and his earnestness in
doing so lends interest to a story
that is now being told in Ger
many. 1t is about a pipe he
bought many years ago from a
Bohemian peddler. to which was
ascribed the power of forecast
ing future events. The vender
said that Bismarck would serve
three Emperors as Minister. and
that three important events in
his life would be foretold by ac-
cidents to the meerschaum.
Since that time the Prince has
been Minister under three En-.
perors, and two days before the
present ruler of Germany refus-
ed him an audience the stem OF
the pipe came to pieces. Later
he broke a piece out of the bowl,
and within a month William dis
missed him. The third sign is
yet to come.

Intense excitement was caused
at Wellsburg last week by the
arrest on a serious charge, of
Anderson Baer. a we'll known
young married man, living in
that town. He is alleged to have
criminally assaulted Mrs. G. S.
Kelly, a highly respected woman.
The alleged assault is said to
have occurred Monday evening
at the Kelly residence, but owing
to the fact that parties interest
ed did not want to make any mis-
take in laying the crime to the
one suspected, until they had
sufficient evidence, the arrest
was not made until Tuesday.
Baer.is now in jail awaiting the
preliminary examination.

will defeat the bill authorizing
Incorporated tanning companies
to purchase 10000 acres of land
for each tanning plant they may
have or erect. The State of
Maryland has thousands of acres
of undeveloped timber lands and
the Times cordially invites east
ern and northern tanners to come
and possess them and guarantees
fair treatment to them under the
laws of the State. Maryland
seeks to draw investment, not to
repel it.
The energetic effort which is
being made by our county super
intendept, Mr.. Law, and the
teachers of Harrison county, in
the interestof progress in educa-
ton, is certainly, most commend
able. Supt. Law is making a
determined effort to place before
the people of the county the
first annual catalogue of our pub
lie schools. The teachers are
not slack in their support, furn.
ishing the statistics of their vari-
GUS schools, and contributing
literally from their limited
means. In this catalogue there
will be represented the school
interests of the county at large,
and o page will be given to the
teacher of each sub-district, on
which his report will appear,
giving the names of the trustees,
and Of the pupils classified &C.
cording to the different sections
of work. also report from the
teacher showing the work he has
done at large, and the interest
manifested by the patrons Of the
school IN that special district.
The catalogue will contain from
