The country editor NAV occasionally

The country editor NAV occasionally
biunder in his English, yet he usually
contrives to make his meaning clear, and
when he has accomplished this he has
done about all that can reasonably be
expected. But in the higher walks of
journalism. and in the realm of high
class fiction where gifted beings stalks
about with their heads above the clouds,
one naturally looks for work beyond the
criticism of 4 school-boy. 1t is putting
it mildly to say that this reasonable ex-
pectation is seldom met. The most ac-
complished writers and sharpest critics
are guilty of errors that can only be ac-
counted for on the grounds of gross care
lessness A common offense is the use of
the abbreviation ''don't" with the third
person singular. Editor Dana Of the
New York Sun, is said to pride himself
on correct use of language, yet the
other day he asked in cold type: "Why
don't the New York World pop forty
seven questions or so ut Tom Reed 2"
The "Dean of American Journalism"
is by no means the only offender in this
respect. One of the most scholarly
writer's on the New York Tribune recent
ly said of contemporary ale don't
know what he wants" Our note book
is full of blunderS culled from the works
of famous writer's, but limited space adj
mits of but one more melancholy exam
pie In one of his delightful novels Mr..
Howells speaks of "three people sitting
in q room." Now if two of these ''peo-
pie" had withdrawn, what would have
become of "the people that was left?

MOODY REVIVAL.
Great Evangelist Stirring Vast Audi
ences at Pfttsburg.

Great Evangelist Stirring Vast Audi
ences at Pittsburg.
PITTsBURG, Dec 4.-Dwight Lyman
Moody might well leave the city of
Pittsburg after his work of yesterday
afternoon, With the feeling that he had
done enough for its people. But the
nineteenth century crusader does not
leave Il place until he has done as much
as he can do.
Mr. Moody had just finished his aft
ernoon sermon, and an almost visible
silence hung over the thousand grave
faces, upturned toward the preacher.
He announced prayer, and the soft dis.
turbance in the air told of the heads
that bowed. That prayer was the eli
max OF all. 1t was a prayer of beauti-
full sim phcity. 1t was punctuated by
frequent low amens from the bowed
hearers, and hundreds of glistening
eyes betokened the depth of feeling in
cited by Dwight Lyman Moody's simple
prayers.
His sermon was of the same pattern
from which the prayer was made. i'm
pressively simple 1t was on the
power of prayer, and the experience of
the Christian preacher furnished him
illustrations that went directly home !;
human experience that would touch
the susceptibilities of humanity.
Mr.. Moody ended his afternoon
services by asking God TO inspire him.
He asked that he be made deliver in
the evening the best sermon he has
ever given to man. To degree at
least that prayer was answered, for
that ening sermon was the best
Moody has delivered during his present
visit. 1t was the first in the exposition
building, and the air was so chill that
the hearers were advised by the
preacher TO keep their heads covered.
But the cold only seemed to urge
Moody to greater efforts.
It was an audience of 5000 people
that heard the sermon last night.

An armed Force Hunting the Com
aetnne Yves Virginia Murderers
RIPLEY, w. Va, Dec. John S.
Morgan, the murderer of family, who
was sentenced to be hanged Dec. 16,
has escaped from Jail.
Morgan got out of the Ripley Jail be-
tween midnight and 3 q. IN. He was
allowed the privilege of the corridor.
The jailor saw what he thought was
the prisoner asleep ON his cot, but
when the relief guard came at and
tried to arouse the prisoner he discoy-
cred that only dummy rested there.
Search was begun at once. 1t was dis.
covered that Morgan stole q horse two
miles from the Jail, went to his home,
armed himself. told his wife and fam.
lily he would kill them if they gave the
alarm, and fed to the hills. An armed
force is after him.
A curious fact is that his father
while awaiting execution for a crime
similar to that OF his son, escaped in
the same manner and was not caught
for almost year. Morgan had S25 that
was paid to him for his confession, and
he wore the new clothes that had been
purchased to hang him in.

A Myterious Disappearance.

CHENILLE, ". Va, December /.
Quite a sensation was caused here
Thursday morning by the sudden disa-
pearance of the wife of DR.. A. G.
Blair. DR.. Blair had been called to
Richie county and during his alb
sence his wife, who was left at home
with boy named Tracy Polling,
wrote a letter and laid it on the
table and left the house, telling the
boy she would soon return. No cause
is assigned for her disappearance but
some speculation is apparent as to
where the missing woman is. The
contents of the letter which was adj
dressed to DR.. Blair are unknown.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The hearing
given by the interstate commerce COM
mission on the question OF extending
TIE time within which the railroads OF
the country may comply with the pro-
visions OF the car coupler and train
brake act has been concluded. The
commission intends to take some sup
Elemental testimony under oath before
coming to decision. There seems to-
be no doubt whatever that an extern
sion will be granted and that the extern
sion will be general in its character,
the hearing having demonstrated that
any discrimination would fall as heav-
lily on roads which have complied with
the law as on those which have thus far
disregarded it.
Railroad representatives asked for
five years with the condition that one
fifth of the unequipped rolling stock of
each company should be equipped each
year, and the representatives of the
railroad organizations protested against
an extension in excess of one year.
Three years Is generally believed to be
the maximum extension which the
commission will grant.

Modern Dentistry.

The dentistry of the 10Th century
differs as much from the dental work
of s'ye olden time" as the modern
safety bicycle does from the old
fashioned wheelbarrow. The latest,
most perfect and artistic dentistry
is known as crown and bridge work.
In this manner of inserting artificial
teeth, the old bunglesome, cumber-
some, filthy plate is done away with.
And it is to be regretted that SO few
dentists thoroughly understand this
new departure in dentistry, especial
" the older members of the profes-
sion who have not had the opportu-
nifty to learn crown and bridge work
as it is only in the past few years
that the colleges give anything like
a thorough course in this new de-
parture.
Fully realizing this fact / have
taken special pains to fit myself in
every particular for this special work.
Not only through the dental college
but have recently taken two special
courses in this branch of dentistry
from those acknowledged to be the
best teachers. Come and see me. See
ing is believing. My prices are
right, my work is right, and you will
be more than pleased.

SCARED BY GERMAN SCHOLARSHIPS.
Haitians Think Two War Vessels AR.
Enroute To- the Island.


Enroute the Island
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-The Haitian
minister, Mr.. Leger, has called at the
state department. having news from
home of a most disquieting nature, OF
which he wishes to talk with the Off
Gals. 1t appears that his government
has cabled him from Port an Pince that
the Haitian consul at Kingston.
Jamaica, had telegraphed that two
German warships had sailed from that
place for Port au Prince. The news
had created the greatest excitement in
the town and all over the island and
disturbances were apprehended.
The foundation for the statement is
believed to be that the two German
scholarships, which have been cruising
in southern waters, are just starting on
their way northward to the United
States.
Nevertheless, the Haitian minister
fears that their appearance in Haitian
waters just at this juncture, when the
threat has been made that German
warships will make a demonstration in
the harbor of Port au Prince, may lead
to serious trouble there.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Edhem Bey,
the new Turkish charge. who recently
arrived here. states that he has received
no instructions thus far relative to the
reported demand made by the United
States MINIS er at Constantinople. Dr.
Angel, for a speedy payment of in
demnity for the destruction of Amer
lean mission property in Turkey. 1t is
believed that Turkey will postpone
settlement Oh the ground of a depleted
treasury. This was the basis for a
former postponement.
The excuse is less effective now, how
ever, as Turkey is to receive a large
cash indemnity from Greece. 1t is felt
that DR.. Angell's pressing for payment
of the American claims is due largely
to his knowledge that Turkey is about
to have a replenished treasury.

PRAGUE. Dec. Reports from yari-
GUS places in Bohemia, including New
Bidsehow, Meinik and Kralup, tell of
disturbances during the last few days,
the houses of Germans and Jews being
attacked by the Czechs. The Germans
of Bodenbach made reprisals in the
neighborlng Bohemian village of
Kroeglitz, where school, two inns
and shop were attacked, a number
of people being badly injured, despite
the intervention of the police and bur-
gomaster.
The Germans also fomented riots at
Gablontz, stoning a Bohemian school.
1t was necessary to call out the troops
to quell the disturbance.
Although the streets of Prague are
still patrolled by the military, business
is being gradually resumed. A military
court has been established at the court
house, and the local hangman. his as
