A Business Session Followed by an Eie-
giant Banquet.
The iwenty-third annual reunion OF
the Marietta College Club, of Cincin-
natl was held last evening at the Uni'
versity Club, and proved more than
usually agreeable affair.
The members of the club met in busi-
ness session at 6 o'clock, and organized
for the ensuing year by the election OF
new officers. At this meeting the out
going President, Hon. John f. Follett
presided, and read the report which ne
had prepared of the clubs affairs dur
ing 90 1t was largely of financial
nature. and showed the organization to
be on a solid footing in this respect,
and we'll able to assist the students at
old Marietta. 1t has been the habit OF
the club members to donate prize
money to be contested for yearly by
the Marietta students, about 500 IN
gold being given to the two reaching
the highest averages in their year S
work. This plan will still be followed,
the Secretary being instructed to draw
upon the club eXchequer for the neces-
sary amount.
The officers chosen to look after the
interests of the association during the
coming year were: President Dr. b. f.
Beebe: Vice President, w. w. Mills:
Secretary, Ernst Rehm; Treasurer, j..
b. Webb: Historian, p. F. Warner
Following this came report of New
York court decision, which caused all
members to congratulate each other

Fayweather estate. which has been in
litigation, and the Court of Appeals
has Just decided that about $4,000, OOC

these is the Marietta College, which

THE ARMENIAN CONSPIRACY.
Reason for the General Repugnance to a
Fish Diet.

Fish Diet.
The authorities were fully aware OF
the conspiracy, and, instead of taking
steps to nip it in the bud, they armed
the populace to massacre the Armenian
population as soon as the first bomp
exploded, says the English Illustrated
Magazine. To crush the plot was simply
to seize Il handful of men; to let them
have their way was to enjoy the oppor-
tunity of slaughtering several thou
sands of innocent people. Ihls was SO
characteristic of Turkish statecraft
that it cannot surprise anybody who
is acquainted with the Ottoman system
of government. The 2omphclty OF
the police was attested by numbers Of
cvewitncsses. who told me they had
seen both ends of "A street guarded by
the zaptiehs. while the mob broke into
the houses and murdered the inmates.
] had from the mouth of Il Turkish min
lister the admission that verbal instruc-
tions were given to the police TO en-
courage and supervise the massacre5.
To call this the suppression of "a ris-
ing" is the grim irony which is among
the literary graces of the sultan and
his clerks. The actual killing of Ar
menians Before the eyes of the foreign
residents was considerable business;
how many victims met their death by
drowning in the Bosphorus nobody was
able to compute, but l was struck by
the general repugnance at the hotel TO
a fish diet, although the fish at that
time were said to be remarkably fine.

parkersburg Congratulations.

We congratulate Marietta College on
the prospect of shortly receiving from
the Fayerweather estate a second in
stallment of over 500, OOO in addition to
what has already been received under
the will. No institution of higher
learning in this section of the United
States is more deserving or has bet

instruction and the best Development
of the youth entrusted TO its care. IT
is a christian college, though unde
nominational, and this needed addition
to its financial resources will aid in the
great work it is doing and will con-
tinue to do so.--JournaL

PLIGHT OF TWO SOCIETY MEN.
Dress in a Baggage Car But Arc on Time
at Dance.

at IA Dance
Two young society men who left town
on an afternoon express train to attend
- dance at LenoX had most amusing
experience not long ago, says the New
York Mail and Express. The train lost
considerable time and a careful estimate
made of the time required to dress and
reach the dance on their arrival showed
these young men that they would be
very late indeed.
A way out of the difficulty was found
by one of the young men, who made the
suggestion that they dress in the bag
gage car and then they could proceed
to the dance Immediately upon the ar
rival of the train. They went to the car,
found their dress-suit cases and pro-
ceeded to change their attire. Clothes
of all kinds were scattered about the
car, when the door opened suddenly and
the conductor came in. He took in the
situation at a glance and laughed at the
plight of the young men.
Although one of them landed at the
station with dress clothes, no tie and
yellow shoes, he quickly remedied these
defects and drove at once to the house
where the entertainment was being
given.
These two young men had their dance
and were not very late, owing to their
acrobatic performances of dressing in
a baggage can on train going over a
very rough road at 40 miles an hour and
50 minutes late at that.

PASSING OF THE WATCHDOG.
Peacocks Supplanting Towscr as the
Household Protector.

Peacocks Supplanting Towser as the
Household Protector.
"Thc place of watchdog on the farm
or country place." said States Attorney
Mcclure the other day, in making some
observations about mad dogs, reports
the ST. Louis Democrat, might
be very well taken by peacocks and
guinea fowls. long since adopted pea
cocks alone to guard my place, and
nothing can come around the premises
night or day without causing an alarm
from them. They are more watchful
than any dog | ever owned. My expert
ence with guincas has not been so eN-
tensive, but l believe they are also
sure to give an alarm, or rather goou
many alarms if any strange man or
beast should venture near them by
night or day. Perhaps the days of the
watchdog would be numbered it itwere
generally known how well peacocks
and guinea fowls would take his place.
Then. certainly, with fewer dogs there
would not be so many cases of hydro
phobia."
The statement of Mr. Mcclure as to
the watchfulness of peacocks was borne
gut bv numerous Howard county farm
ers. among the number being County
| Commissioners Hess. Dorsey and Smith,
and Mr.. James i. Hobbs, who superln~
tends the farming operations of Sen
ator German. Mr.. Hobbs stated that he
long ago discovered what excellent pro-
tcction peacocks afford about place,
and down on the senator's farm he al
ways keeps six or eight of them to
guard the premises. So it appears thar
peucocks are useful as we'll as orna-

OtJEER MOUNDS.
Two In tho shape of Animals Found In
Wisconsin.

NtBCOnsin.
An interesting discovery OF two
mounds in the form of animals has been
made in Wisconsin, about two miles
from Wjnona. Mimi. They are on the
side of a aluff. One is thought to have
been intended for deer. Both are
about 21s !crt above the surrounding
ground, and tbeir outlines are very
plain, The Dimensions of the deer
mound are: Tail, 2o feet; body, pa feet
long, 10 feet wide; neck, 13 feet
long; antlers, 10 feet long, and about
8 feet spread; head, 10 feet from
end of nose to antlers, feet z
inches from neck to foreleg, IS feet
long; hind leg, 10 feet 9 inches long
and : feet 10 inches wide where the
body is joined. The neck of the animal
extends exactly east and west, the head
being at the east end. The antlers and
nose extend in line directly north ana
south, the nose pointing south.
Some so feet south of the first mound
is another, which takes the form OF d
rat. The tail is very long, extending
considerably over 100 feet. The body is
about % feet long.
No plow has ever marred either OF
these mounds, and so distinct are they
that it seems curious they have never
been noticed before to be anima
mounds of the ancient mound builders
Both mounds are but a short distance
from a plateau upon which are mum
her of round mounds, which have neve1
been previously investigated.

Council met Friday evening in special
session to consider the question of sub
mitting to vote the proposition to en-
large the electric light plant. The
Committee appointed to confer with
the Board of Education reported that
they had arranged to hold both cleo
tions together on Monday, February
sth. The discussion developed the fact
that the loan of SO, 900 to be voted on,
for enlarging the electric light plant,
could be carried by the city without
increasing the taxes, as the last bond
of the old electric light loan of So, 600 is
now due the money to pay it is
now in the treasury and the new loan
can be paid off at the same rate with
out extra taxes.

NEW SCHEDULE
ON the B. ~ q. :. w. Ry. Goes Into Effect
Tomorrow.

The new schedule on the b. Il o. S.
W., which has been under discussion
for the past month, will go into effect
next Sunday. There is no material
change in the running of passenger
trains, the principal changes being in
No. . and No. So, the former arriving
ten minutes later and the latter ten
minutes earlier than at present. The
through sleeper from Baltimore to
Chicago, which will be run on No. 81,
under the new schedule, will be a great
convenience to the travelling public,
but many of the railroad men are
skeptical as to the ability of the en-
gines to take a train into Cincinnati on
time with the great increase in its
weight.
The freights will be changed con-
siderably, the local runs beginning and
ending at Belpre instead of at Parkers-
burg, as at present. Through freights,
Nos. so and 9G, arriving now at 3:l5 a.
m. and $50 a. m, respectively, will be
run two hours earlier.
Wdile changing, the company would
do very well to change No q, the
through express, and No, IA, the fast
mail. Under the present schedule they
belle their names, being out between
six and seven hours from Cincinnati to
Parkersburg.

UNFORTUNATE SITUATION.

There can be no denial of the fact that
the Republican party in Virginia is in a
most unfortunate situation, placed there
by the unwise and selfish conduct Of the
State Committee. This was no tune for
policy of inactivity. 1t will be hard for
the committee to convince the intelligent
masses that it even thought so. The i'm
preston will prevail that the committee in
its action was controlled entirely by selfish
motives, having no regard for the welfare
of the party.
A great opportunity has been lost to the
Republicans of the State to demonstrate
their power. With successful national
policy now in force and a divided Demo
cracy in the Commonwealth, Republican
ism had everything to gain and nothing to
lose by resolute.fght for control Of the
State. 1t was the desire of the people,
who do the voting, that convention
should be called and full State ticket
placed in the ielc. The men who have
forced themselves to the front and gotten
control of our State Committee we're
afraid of State convention. They were
fearful that they would be sent to the rear
as incompetent and unworthy leaders.
Impelled by these views they determined
that no convention should be held, and
went to work to accomplish that end.
We see the result. A party which can
poll nearly one hundred and fifty thousand
votes, a party that, with an honest ad-
ministration of the ballot, can carry Nir-
GINA is without ticket to vote fer, that
Bowden Brady & Co. may continue to
control the patronage.
These tricksters, who represent nothing,
have gained temporary advantage. They
have stihed the wishes of the people.
They may continue to deceive the Federal
Administration and make it believe that
they are true representatives Of Repub-
lican sentiment in Virginia, but day of

WaIIace's Show.

The Cumberland Nd, Evening Times
of the 23rd of August in speaking of Wal
laces great show said, in part, the following:
From one until two O'Clock this afternoon
a grand concert of classical and popular
airs was given before the regular perfor-
nance by Prof. VIM. f. Goetze's SYM
phony band. At its conclusion great
triumphal pageant and entry, presenting
the festival of Olympus and diversions of
Rome, opened the matinee, followed by
the picturesque poses representing Colum
bus discovering America.
The three Petites, rightfully known as
"Kings of the Air." performed difficult
aerial feats, and the Sansoni sisters lifted
heavy weights. Then in swift continuity,
regularly, but not too rapid, came sue
cession Of difficult acts and teats, not too
many at one time for the eye to take in.
There were exhibitions on the high wire,
bareback riding, songsand jokes by clowns,
manoeuvres on the trapeze and bars high
in the air, scientific boxing, beautiful bal
lets under the direction of M'mlle Hulda
Maccari, and the wonderful Nelson family
of nine people, who perform challenge
acrobatic feats, lofty and ground tumbling,
from pyramids, perform feats of strength,
make daring leaps and endeavor to break
their necks and every bone-apparently.
The educated donkeys and elephants
amused every one. A series of races then
took place, many of them exciting hip
podrom contests, others humorous and
amusing. The whole performance
wound up with concert in which many
new vaudeville acts were shown.
The Wallace circus is the best show of
It's kind that has ever visited here and

reckoning viii surely come, and the party
will be rescued from a leadership whose
only ambitionis to control the patronage
There is nothing left for the Republican
party in the State to do but to preserve its
organization and lndentity as best it can
Unjust not wander after false gods. In
counties where Republicans can be run
successfully for the House of Delegates and
State Senate we will have something to
rally upon and contest for; but we see no
reason why the voters of the party at the
suggestion of the State Committee should
vote for anyone for the State offices.

TiIIman VS.. Satan.

Tillman says that he is busy lighting
the devil.-Philadelphia Press.
Doubtless friendly contest for the lau-
rel of urbanity. The gentlmanly character
of the prince of darkness is well established
by quotation, and the senior Senator in
Congress from South Carolina is famous
for his gifts of honeyed speech. Absence
of warmth, impetuosity and epithet must
be noticeable in such contest. But per-
haps Mr.. Tillman's adversary is not the
real and only genuine devil, but only that
modern manifestation of him, the Money
Devil. Ifso, the Money DEVIL will not
get chance to put in word. He will be
lucky if he escapes with his hearing, Cap
tain Ben will so bang and push him and
produce such immense series of reverber-
atoms. Yet the Money Devil is pretty
tough customer, too. He has endured a
great deal of abuse in the last year or two,
and seems to thrive under it and grow
more moneyed and more devilish all the

For Uniform Divorce Law.

At the meeting of the Uniform Law
Commission in Cleveland, Ohio, John c.
Richberg, of Chicago, as chairman ola
special committee appointed for the pur-
pose, reported draft of 4 divorce bill for
adoption in all the States, to be submitted
to the National Bar Association. If the
association approves of it the members
will urge its adoption by their different
State Legislatures.
The bill is modelled after the divorcelaw
in force in the District Of Columbia, which
was drawn by Congress.
The belief is generally expressed by
members of the commission that the bill
will be approved by the National Bar
Association, in which event systematic
efforts will be made to have it adopted in
all the States,
